C207 Coffin King

Coffin King was already very old, his face was full of wrinkles and he looked very old and ugly. And this abominable face came to me and said, "You're going to die."

I was a little upset. I looked at Coffin King and said, "Gramps, don't speak nonsense. I'm still young, how am I going to die?"

Coffin King said with a smile: "Don't be unhappy, I'm a coffin maker, it's normal to look forward to someone else's death."

I spat. This time I told him directly that I was a little angry.

However, the Coffin King did not seem to be afraid of me getting angry. He studied me for a moment, then whispered, "Do you want to know? Why did I say you were going to die? "

I lowered my voice and said, "Tell me about it."

I've already thought about it. If he's deliberately cursing me, then I'll show him some color. I hope his old bones hold me back. I hope he keeps the coffin for himself.

Seeing that I was pretending to listen respectfully, Coffin King's vanity received a large amount of satisfaction. He nodded his head in satisfaction and then said to me, "Because I know you."

"Do you know me and I have to die? I also know you, you are the Coffin King, do you not have much longer to live? "

Coffin King waved his hand, "Don't interrupt. I mean, I knew you before. "

"How long ago?" I asked.

The Coffin King said, "A long time ago. "To my previous life."

I suddenly felt my heart tighten. I felt that this old man might really know something. He was almost 90 years old. In his previous life, wouldn't it be a hundred years? How did he know me before I was born?

This may sound absurd, but my long experience has taught me that the more absurd it is, the more likely it is to be a secret.

I whispered to Coffin King: "What do you mean? I've lived for hundreds of years? "

Coffin King said, "You have lived for a few years, are you not clear about this in your heart?"

Of course I know, from young, things, one by one, I remember. But if I really grew up in Hu Village, then how did Coffin King recognize me?

Coffin King looked at Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin who were watching the coffin from not too far away, and said to me in a low voice: "The one I met was your previous life."

My mind buzzed and I immediately asked, "You know me from my previous life? I looked the same as I did in my previous life? "

Coffin King said, "It's not the same. Half of a person's appearance comes from their father, and the other half from their mother. His parents were different in life, how could he be the same? But your eyes never changed. As soon as I saw your eyes and combined them with your other characteristics, I recognized you. "

I nodded and said to Coffin King, "You know my previous life, so what? "Why do you say I'm going to die?"

Coffin King said, "Because in your entire life, you can only live to the age of twenty-four. I met you three times and you all died on your twenty-fourth birthday. Is your birthday coming up? "

I felt a chill in my heart. After a moment of silence, I whispered to the Coffin King, "I don't know what day my birthday is. I'm an orphan. "

Coffin King said, "Oh, so you are an orphan in this life."

He patted me on the shoulder. Your birthday in this life is the ninth day of the tenth month of the twelfth month, so this life is probably no exception. Just take the ninth day of August as your birthday. "

I suddenly thought of my name, my name is Hu Chujiu, could it be just because of a coincidence? I remember the foster-grandpa saying that when he picked me up, there was a full moon hanging in the sky. But why did he give me the first nine names?

Just when I was at a loss, Coffin King carefully took out a small box from his clothes. He said in a low voice, "When you are twenty-four, someone will kill you. The world is like this, you have to be careful. "You keep this."

I held the box in my hand. It was a small wooden box. I didn't know what was inside, but it was heavy.

I asked the Coffin King, "Who wants my life?"

Coffin King said: "I don't know, you've never told me. But I remember one time you said those people were like farmers. Sow the seeds in the spring and come back in the autumn to harvest them. "

I asked with a wry smile, "Am I the crop they grow? Wait until the age of twenty-four? You can harvest now? "

Coffin King looked at me with sympathy before nodding his head. As he made the coffin in his hand, he whispered to me, "So, it's almost your birthday. The farmers should be ready. "During this period of time, be careful and don't trust anyone."

He secretly pointed at Xia Xin and Mr. Zhao, "Who knows if they are farmers or not?"

I didn't say anything. making me suspect the existence of the Mr. Zhao and Xia Xin, there is a conflict in the depths of my heart. But I did not refute him. After all, he did it for my own good.

He pointed to the wooden box in my hand and said, "This was given to me by you in your previous life. On the night of your birthday, put this thing next to your pillow. Maybe it can help you survive this disaster. "

I looked down at the box to see what was inside. However, the Coffin King stopped me as he said, "You can't look at it now. This thing can only be used once. Now that I've seen it, the date of my birthday is not going to be good. "

I nodded, thanked him, and put the box away.

Coffin King coughed lightly and started working again.

After a few minutes, I couldn't help but ask, "What did I do in my last life?"

Coffin King laughed and said, "Sometimes you can be an official, sometimes you can do business, and sometimes you can also be a farmer. You have tried everything. However, it was not always successful. After all, he was not even twenty-four years old. "If one's mind is not mature enough, if one's training is not thorough, it is inevitable that they will run into a wall."

I nodded and asked the Coffin King, "Is there anymore of that bottle of water you gave me?"

Coffin King said, "You want to drink?"

"I'm interested."

Coffin King scratched his head: "How can I keep such a delicious thing? He drank it all that day. However, if you really want to drink it, I can give you a path. If you go there, you'll definitely find the smart water. "

I curiously asked, "Where is it?"

The Coffin King said, "The Underworld."

I said, "Old Master, are you messing with me?"

Coffin King said, "How is that possible? I'm serious. After I drank the smart water and recalled my previous life's experiences, I remembered that there really was a Bridge of Helplessness in the Underworld. There really was a River Forgetfulness. On the Bridge of Helplessness, Grandma Meng was selling soup. "Grandma Meng looks very familiar. She is the injured old woman I saved on that rainy day."

I asked in astonishment, "The smart water was given to you by Grandma Meng?"

Coffin King nodded: "Yes. Grandma Meng's medicine could make people forget everything. However, the things in this world were mutually exclusive. Since there were things that people could forget, there were also things that people could remember. This was the bottle of smart water. Of course, the water's real name isn't so vulgar. I'm used to it, so let's just call it that for now. "

I nodded.

The Coffin King said, "After you reach the Underworld, go up to the Bridge of Helplessness and tell Grandma Meng that you have some people in the mortal world who can't rest easy. After you die, you didn't even close your eyes."

"Grandma Meng must increase the amount of medicine used to treat ghosts like these, so she will lower her head to look for medicine. "You should take advantage of the moment when she lowers her head, take out the spoon that you prepared beforehand, scoop up a spoonful, and secretly put it in Grandma Meng's cup."

"The Underworld is very cold. Grandma Meng needs a cup of wine every three hours to warm her body." As soon as she pours it into her mouth, she will discover that something is wrong and spit it out. "

"Grandma Meng's Elixir is useless even if you vomit on the spot. You would have long since entered your soul, so she would have taken the antidote. Don't worry, let her drink the antidote. After drinking it, there were two hours before the antidote would take effect. In the meantime, she doesn't know who she is or who you are. Just take the antidote away, no one will stop you. "

I clicked my tongue in wonder and said to Coffin King, "Old Master, are you trying to trick me? A little kid can plot against Grandma Meng? "

The Coffin King said unhappily: "Why would I coax you? I saw it with my own eyes. Forget it, forget it, I won't tell you anymore. "

Coffin King focused on carving the coffin, which increased his speed by a lot, in just half an hour, the coffin was completed.

I took the coffin and looked at it. At first glance, it was a small black coffin. There wasn't anything strange about it. However, when I looked carefully, I found that there were many small patterns engraved on the coffin. The patterns formed numerous faces, seemingly without end.

I heaved a sigh of relief and wanted to give Coffin King some money, but the Coffin King did not accept it. They say we're friends, no need to pay. I know what he means. We've known each other for a few lifetimes.

I thanked Coffin King and Xia Xin before coming out.

After the three of us came out, Mr. Zhao asked me, "When did we become friends with Coffin King?"

I said, "Just now, we chatted for a while. He and I were quite on good terms."

The Mr. Zhao said, "He didn't say anything strange to you, right?"

I was stunned. "What strange words?"

Mr. Zhao said, "For example, how can I steal Grandma Meng's soup?"

I was shocked and looked at him warily. "How did you know?"

When I was speaking with Coffin King, he wasn't close to us, and our voices were very soft, so how did he hear us?

Xia Xin, who was at the side, laughed, "Not only him, I also know. Coffin King has some problems. " She pointed at her head.

I said, "You don't mean to say he's mentally ill?"

Xia Xin said, "Pretty much. He was too old. Ever since he was old, he had always talked nonsense, saying that he had been to the Underworld. By the way, the doctor at Fan Manor also prescribed medicine for him, saying that he was schizophrenic. "
