I want to do something big [fast travel]

Chapter 52 Classic Game

The first time I saw the gravekeeper was in the cemetery in the eastern suburbs of Songcheng.

My father took me, saying that he was going to visit an old friend, so he came here.

The gravekeeper was just as his father had described him, with a calm temperament, a tall figure, and extraordinary handsomeness, with a pair of deep eyes shining with golden light from time to time.

His reputation is not small in Songcheng.

Everyone said that he was a master of Taoism, and people flew in from all over the world to listen to him every day.

But the gravekeeper's temper was as big as his reputation.

No matter how many people invited him out and what price he offered, he would not leave this cemetery, and even if he had to leave, he would come back soon.

His father talked to him freely: "You really don't plan to come out? Yan Qi has been gone for ten years, and you still look like this, you haven't changed at all."

The gravekeeper picked the blooming flowers and casually rejected his proposal: "No need."

"Why don't you live in another place? Take a look at this place. The transportation is inconvenient, and there are no shops around. Life is so inconvenient." My father continued to persuade.

The gravekeeper stood up holding a bosom full of flowers, and I looked up at him.

Among the large clusters of colorful flowers, I saw the silver pendant on the neck of the gravekeeper, and a small photo was carefully kept in the middle of the pendant.

The person in the photo looks at the camera with a cool demeanor that makes people unable to move their eyes away.

My father also saw the photo, and his mood was obviously depressed, and he sighed deeply.

"It would be nice if we came out sooner."

"It doesn't make any difference whether it's early or late." The gravekeeper walked forward with flowers in his hands, pulling out the thorns on the branches one by one. "In that case, it is impossible for modern medicine to treat Yan Qi. rescued."

His hands were steady, and none of the dewdrops on the petals were shaken off.

After passing through a large area of ​​blooming flowers, we finally reached our destination.

A tombstone made of marble stands there, engraved with the name of the owner of the tomb.

——Gu Yanqi.

Is this the person the father and the cemetery were discussing?

No one answered me, the two adults stood quietly in front of the tombstone, and neatly arranged the flowers in their arms.

Their movements were pious and careful, and the flowers surrounded the tombstones, giving them a grand feeling.

"We've only been together for seven days," my father sighed, looking at the tombstone. "Ten years have passed, and I can still remember his every move clearly."

Little I looked up at the tombstone.

On it was a picture of a man who would never wake up.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, showing a cold smile.

Ten years have passed since that smile.

After the worship, my father led me and was about to leave here and go to the next place.

"But speaking of it, even if you don't want to leave, you can't stay here for long."

Before leaving, my father stood in front of the cemetery and sighed.

The gravekeeper raised his head. For some reason, I just felt the golden light in his eyes deepened a little.

"why?"

"I heard that this place has been bought by others and is going to be developed into a playground."

"Who bought it?"

"It seems to be... Qihang Group?"

"Qihang's name is not good," said the gravekeeper.

Golden streamers shone in his eyes, like a sleeping lion being awakened by enemies invading its territory and roaring.

For some reason, his eyes and that photo made me deeply curious.

"Uncle." I said for the first time, "Why do you stay here?"

"I'm waiting for someone to go on an appointment with me."

"Who is it? That Gu Yanqi? But you stay in the cemetery all the time, won't he dislike you when he comes back?" I asked curiously, "Dad doesn't like coming to the cemetery at all!"

My father covered my mouth, his face looked very ugly, and he hurriedly explained to the gravekeeper.

"I'll teach him a lesson."

The cemetery keeper waved his hand, and there was a little surprise in his eyes.

"No, maybe this kid reminded me."

Since then, I have not seen the gravekeeper again for 15 years, until I fell out with my father and threw myself into the business world.

It was a high-end banquet where celebrities from all walks of life gathered together.

I was wearing a cheap suit, standing in the corner of the banquet, and many young people like me looked at the center of the banquet with ambition.

It was at that time that the gravekeeper appeared.

Many people I looked up to surrounded him and smiled obsequiously, but I recognized him immediately.

More than ten years have passed, but the handsome and tall gravekeeper seems to have not changed at all. His half-length hair is tied neatly behind his head, he is dressed in decent clothes, and there is a faint golden light in his eyes.

There are so many celebrities present, but standing in the crowd, he seems to stand out from the crowd, overwhelming the light of everyone.

I am very curious why the gravekeeper left his cemetery and why he appeared here.

But at this time, I want to know more, can the gravekeeper help me get into that circle.

After all, his father knew him very well.

Holding the wine glass, I approached it cautiously.

"Mu Daoist." I heard someone call him, "You can solve the problem in that situation, it's really amazing."

The gravekeeper slightly raised his eyes to look at him.

I always feel that he is like an expert in the world, and it seems that he should not adapt to such a scene.

He is indeed incompatible with this scene, but the difference is that he is like an emperor, and we are all his subjects, he is here, like a fish in water.

I was holding the wine glass, a little nervous, the companion beside me came over and said to me with emotion.

"Do you recognize him? He used to be the gravekeeper of Songcheng Cemetery."

The companion seems to be very interested in talking, he chattered endlessly.

"He is very powerful. Many people can't even say a word to him. I didn't expect to see him here."

I was a little surprised: "I remember, he is the grave guard of Songcheng?"

"Now the Songcheng cemetery is his property!"

"Didn't there be a company that wanted to build it before?"

"Ah, I remember that company. It used to be called Qihang, right? Now it's called Yanqi, and it's also his business." The companion said excitedly, "He's really amazing. He's a Taoist priest with profound morals, and business is smooth sailing!"

"Taoist priest?"

"25 years ago, do you know what happened at Tomb Hill?"

"I know, it's a big case." I recalled that scene, 25 years later, the bloody cave has not been cleaned up, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the back of my neck, "It's really unexpected to do such a thing How cruel people are."

"It wasn't made by humans, it was made by ghosts." The companion said mysteriously, "I heard that the troops originally went because the village was slaughtered, and they brought reporters with them."

"It turned out that not long after arriving at the tomb mountain, the mountain collapsed, and there were human corpses and flesh inside, and there was a female ghost."

The companion squeezed his eyes, and he was obviously a little scared.

"Fortunately, Taoist Mu has a profound knowledge, and he and his companions took that ghost away, so it didn't spread to more places."

"I heard people say that Daoist Mu went there because he was framed. Someone defrauded the female ghost's father of money and killed him. All the charges were placed on Daoist Mu and he ran away."

"Tsk tsk tsk, it's not good to go anywhere, I have to go to the tomb mountain, I ran into the enemy ghost, fortunately, I was taken in by the Taoist priest."

"I heard his companion died in that incident?" I remembered this.

"Yes." Some regret appeared on the companion's face, "I've seen his photos, it's a pity that such a powerful person just disappeared like this."

I don't think anyone is more upset than the gravekeeper.

I looked at the tomb guard from a distance, his face was stern, but there was no trace of sadness.

But I clearly know that he has been waiting for that person named Gu Yanqi for 25 years.

In 25 years, I have grown from a babe to an adult who can make a living in the society, but he is still standing there, waiting for a person who will never come back.

I couldn't help feeling sorry, couldn't help admiring, and couldn't help but be curious.

What kind of person is worth waiting for such an outstanding gravekeeper for 25 years?

That must be a person who is better than I imagined.

I was thinking about it, but I saw the grave guard looked up, he seemed to recognize me, and raised his glass from a distance.

I hastily responded.

Over the past 30 years, my company has gained a firm foothold in the industry, and I have also become a successful entrepreneur. I am finally qualified to invite celebrities from all walks of life to participate in the company's listing feast.

At that grand banquet, I saw the gravekeeper for the last time.

He is still an existence that I need to look up to, and probably also an existence that people all over the world look up to.

Years have filled his temples with a snow-white color, but the man is still as attractive as when he was young.

People surrounded him, chirping and chatting. The tomb guard was holding a wine glass and playing with the pendant in one hand, and looked like he was listening carefully.

But I could tell that he wasn't listening to someone talking, but was looking at the person in the photo.

I'm curious.

After so many years, has he still not forgotten that person?

So I walked over and asked tentatively.

"I heard that you haven't been to the cemetery once in these years."

Mu Jing looked up at me, probably recognized my appearance, and then opened his mouth.

"Ah."

I leaned over.

At this time, although I am no longer the boy who just entered the mall, I am still quite curious about this former tomb keeper, and now everyone in the circle respects Mr. Mu.

"You are no longer guarding that Gu Yanqi?"

The tomb keeper's eyes flashed in a daze, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips that seemed to have been frozen for thousands of years.

"This is the first time I've heard this name from someone other than your father."

He seemed to be feeling a little bit emotional, and he seemed to be nostalgic, and picked up the pendant in his hand again.

It was only then that I noticed that the photo on the pendant was still Gu Yanqi, but the container containing the photo had changed.

"I always have him with me."

"I see, you want to take him to see the whole world?" I clapped my hands and smiled, "This is really romantic."

"Do not."

The gravekeeper's answer was as calm as his own.

The golden light flowed in his eyes, so dazzling that it was hard to imagine that this was an old man.

"I'm just planning a date."

"Dating?"

"I made an appointment with someone, and I will try it when we meet next time."

"But Gu Yanqi..." I noticed that he raised his brows slightly, and quickly changed the words, "Didn't he already leave?"

I actually kind of envy that person.

At this age, I have already understood how lucky it is to be loved so deeply.

"I know his body is gone, but I still believe that his soul is also waiting for that promise like mine."

"When the time comes, we will definitely meet again."

The voice of guarding the tomb echoed in the corner of the banquet hall, he was not in a hurry, he was at ease.

"It's our first date, and I'm not sure what he likes, so have everything ready."

"It's high mountains and rivers, it's the prosperity of the world, it's a paradise, it's the fields... no matter where it is, I have to go and have a look."

"In this way, I can give him what he wants."

I saw the golden light in his eyes turning into gentle ripples. The gravekeeper seemed to have thought of some wonderful scene, and his whole body softened.

"A date with him is worth my whole life to prepare for."
