Chapter 4 I Can't Live For Three Days
After the manager finished speaking, he went to his office, and I walked towards my office.
I turned on the computer and before I could start the work panel, a pop-up window jumped out.
"Go away quickly, the company is not safe."
Seeing this, the computer screen flashed and turned off directly, and I also vaguely saw a person standing behind me from the LCD screen of the computer.
I turned around suddenly, but there was nothing behind me. Then a sudden pain and itch came from my arm. I looked subconsciously, but found several blue and purple patches on my arm.
I swallowed and left the company without saying hello.
Now that the more I think about this, the more I feel, the more I am. After leaving the company, the sunlight outside has begun to become dazzling, but no matter where I walk, there is always a cold feeling that follows me like a shadow.
More than half an hour later, I had arrived at a dead end without realizing it. Seeing that there was no way ahead, just as I turned around and walked back, I found an old man with a long beard and a bun standing not far behind me. The other party looked quite fairy-like.
"I followed you all the way, but you didn't even notice my existence."
After the old man finished speaking, before I could speak, the other party stood in front of me and reached out to grab my left arm.
Looking at the purple patches on my arm, the old man frowned.
"Corpse!"
When I heard the old man say this, I felt panic. I was thinking about this matter just now. Why did such patches appear on my arm for no reason? And it was not painful or itchy.
After the old man finished speaking, his eyes looked at me with a torch. After a few breaths, the old man let go, his hands kept changing, and finally bit his index finger and pointed it at my brow.
Suddenly I felt dizzy. When I realized that, the old man was looking at me panting.
"Why am I here?"
Hearing my voice, the old man slapped me directly on the face.
"Did you, kid, do you do something you shouldn't do when you see money? Now the other party is here to buy your life?"
When I heard this, I was stunned. I lived a two-point and one-line life in detail. When did I ever do something to forget my true feelings when I see money!
Now this old man said this, isn’t this going to make me eat coptis chinensis?
However, just as I was about to refute, the old man suddenly turned around and looked somewhere behind him. I also looked along, but I didn't find anything wrong.
"This is not a place to talk. I want to live with me!"
After saying that, the old man walked in front. I thought about it for a while and finally followed, because there were too many strange things that have happened in the past few days, and judging from the old man's appearance, I probably knew what happened to me.
When I arrived on the road, the old man stopped a car, and after I followed, he asked the driver to drive to the suburbs of the city.
Two hours later, the car parked at the foot of a mountain, and there were many tourists around it.
I know this place. I have been here before with my colleagues. There is a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and the incense is pretty good.
"Come with me!"
After the old man finished speaking, he walked directly into the dense forest with his way around the mountain path. Nearly an hour later, the old man took me to the back of the Taoist temple. If it weren't for the old man taking me, let alone me, I'm afraid no one would know that there was another world behind this Taoist temple.
Looking at a manor in front of me, surrounded by green bamboos, it was quite a paradise, but I was not here to admire this manor.
The old man opened the door of the manor and walked in, and I followed behind and walked in directly.
But just as I stepped into the threshold, the old man suddenly changed his face and grabbed me, and then slapped my chest with a palm.
When I woke up again, it was already evening, and I felt like I was sitting numb in a wooden barrel, and the barrel was filled with thick black liquid, and it also emitted a pungent stench.
"If you come out now, I promise you won't live for three days!"
Just as I was about to get up and leave, a voice came from behind me. It was the old man who had walked in before, holding a clay pot in his hand. After coming to me, he poured the contents of the clay pot into the wooden barrel.
"What are you going to do?"
"Look at the blue spots on your arm!" said the old man. "This blue spot is a corpse spot. I don't need to say anything anymore. This thing will only appear on the dead, but now it appears on you."
I looked at the corpse spots on my arm, which were much fainter than before.
"Tell me, what did you mess with?"
