Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ancient Tower
Lin Qitian came out of the magic circle, and then entered the Chengshui River, and then with a wave of his sleeves, he swam upwards like a dragon in the water.
went ashore, flashed, and ran into the sunny slope.
After walking for about an hour, there was yellow sand everywhere as far as the eye could see. Countless wrinkles of sand and stone swelled like solidified waves, stretching to the golden horizon in the distance.
I didn't go in the wrong direction, I didn't, I just went to the other side of the river.
Lin Qitian walked patiently for another half an hour, and finally a building similar to the spire of a pagoda appeared in front of him in the distance.
Lin Qitian quickened his pace and came to the ancient tower, this tower is shaped like a spring shoot, thin and straight, the top of the tower is like a cover, and the tower is like a bottle. The body of the tower has seven layers and six sides, towering into the sky. There are tens of thousands of delicate stone statues carved on it, some of which are the solemn and treasured ancient Buddha of Guanyin, and some are the evil ghosts of the underworld......
Lin Qitian strode towards the wide open tower gate, and as soon as he entered, the tower door snapped shut.
No one knew that at this time, the first layer of this ancient tower slowly turned an angle.
In the tower on the first floor, the candles around suddenly lit up, illuminating the entire tower as bright as day.
There is a smiling Buddha Maitreya in front of Lin Qitian, lying on his side on the ground, with a kind face, bare chest and abdomen.
The Buddha statue is spotless, and on the corner of its clothes is engraved the words "I am happy in the world, and I am happy in the world." ".
Just looking at this Buddha statue, it makes people feel happy, and the happy scenes in the past are reproduced in front of their eyes, and there is an uncontrollable joy in their hearts.
"Boy, there's something wrong with this Buddha statue. "Lu Wu actually not only felt that there was something wrong with this Buddha statue, but he even felt that there was something wrong with this entire pagoda.
"I can see it. Lin Qitian casually swept around the Buddha statue, and just roughly counted, there were about fifty corpses. Some have been dead for a long time, leaving only bones, while others have just shown corpse spots.
But every one of the dead had no wounds on their bodies, they were neatly dressed, and they all had a smile on their faces, which looked very strange.
Lin Qitian took out the Star Shattering Hammer and walked slowly towards the Buddha statue, he stood still in front of the Buddha statue and stretched out his hand to touch the Buddha statue.
Suddenly, a phantom flashed, Lin Qitian quickly turned around, and the hammer fell, only to find that his Star Shattering Hammer had passed through the person.
Lin Qitian was so frightened that he took a few steps back, leaning back against the Buddha statue, so that he could see the phantom clearly.
It was an old monk in a white robe, he folded his hands, recited a Buddha name, and a faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Who are you?" Lin Qitian asked after a steady pause.
"The donor is going to break into the tower?"
"What tower?"
"The donor is going to break into the tower?"
"Huh?"
"The donor is going to break into the tower?"
"Are you a repeater?"
"The donor is going to break into the tower?"
............
That's what he's going to say............
"Yes, I'm going to break into the tower. Lin Qitian nodded indifferently.
The old monk recited another Buddha name and disappeared.
Lin Qitian didn't dare to move, he waited for a long time, but there was no movement, this old monk bluffed me?
Lin Qitian didn't care, he raised his feet and was about to walk to the second floor.
As soon as he took a step, a golden light flashed under Lin Qitian's feet, and a huge "swastika" appeared on the ground.
"Seven Emotions and Bitter Sea!
A huge chanting sound resounded throughout the world. This voice, ethereal, seems to be there and is nothing, as if it comes from the human soul.
Lin Qitian only felt a blur in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, and when he opened it again, he found that he was sitting on a chair, and there were a few plates of home-cooked food in front of him.
?????
Lin Qitian was stunned, suddenly realized something, and hurriedly looked around, only to see that he was in a very modern and very familiar house, and there was a sound of stir-frying behind him.
He immediately jumped out of his chair and ran towards the kitchen behind him. An ordinary-looking woman with a smile in the corner of her eye is stir-frying in the pot with a spatula.
When the woman saw him, the smile deepened in the corner of her eye.
Lin Qitian only felt that his heart sank, and his heartbeat slowed down. He ran over desperately, hugged the woman's waist, and shouted two words that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Mom." ”
Mom is here, she's not dead! Is it a dream now, or is everything that happened before a dream?
The woman touched Lin Qitian's head, pushed him out again, and said softly, "Xiaotian is so big, why are you still coquettish? Stay away from your mother, be careful of oil splashing." ”
Lin Qitian hugged her tightly and didn't let go at all, for fear that she would disappear the next moment.
Even if it's a hallucination, please hold on a little longer......
He lost his mother at the age of sixteen, and since then he has lived a chaotic life. Later, he was taken by the leader of Huaguo Tianzi and brought to be secretly cultivated, and since then he has lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.
But the happiest moment of his life was the sixteen years with his mother............
Mother Lin shook her head helplessly, hugged Lin Qitian in her arms, protected his face with her hands, and continued to stir up.
"Smack"
Mother Lin turned off the gas stove and tapped lightly on Lin Qitian's head, "Little villain, don't you let go?" ”
Lin Qitian had no choice but to let go of his mother, took a few steps back, and stared at her without blinking.
"Okay, let's go to dinner, help my mother get two bowls and two pairs of chopsticks. Mother Lin took the dishes and walked out the door.
Lin Qitian quickly took two pieces of chopsticks and walked towards the dining table.
At one meal, Lin Qitian ate extremely happily. His mother served him a total of 12 times, served him rice and soup twice, wiped his mouth three times, and said 57 words to him............
Mother Lin cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and smiled at Lin Qitian, "Mom will take you to the Science and Technology Museum to play this afternoon, okay?"
"Good"
Mom, she seems to have only taken herself out three times, and this is the fourth time......
If it's a dream, please stay a little longer, I want to see her again.......
............
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Lin's mother took Lin Qitian out of the house. Lin Qitian took his mother's little thumb, shook it gently, and jumped up and down when he walked.
When he arrived at the Science and Technology Museum, Lin Qitian, accompanied by Lin's mother, played all the projects he wanted to play, and the long-lost happiness burst out in his heart and filled his whole body.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin's mother squatted down in front of Lin Qitian and wiped his sweat, "It's not early, let's go back, what do you want to eat tonight?" Mom will make it for you." ”
Lin Qitian smiled stupidly, "Hand-rolled noodles, I want to eat hand-rolled noodles!"
Mother Lin pinched his nose dotingly, "Then you have to give your mother a hand." ”
"Good!"
Mother Lin led Lin Qitian to walk home, and Lin Qitian looked around happily.
Suddenly, something seemed to sweep from the corner of his eye, and he turned his gaze back, and after taking a closer look, his face instantly turned pale, and his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand.
There is a large clock next to a machine in the Science and Technology Museum, which shows the time "September 13, 2010"
September 13th is a very special day for their family, since Lin Qitian can remember, this day his mother will not cook, only drink alcohol, and will always be drunk and unconscious, and once drank stomach bleeding.
Lin Qitian never understood what the meaning of this day was, until he once took advantage of his mother's drunkenness to make a sentence, "Today is your father's death day." ”
......
And now his mother, not only did not drink, but also cooked for him and took him out to play......
Lin Qitian hesitated for a moment and looked up at her, "Mom, did you forget something today?"
"Huh?" Mother Lin raised her hand to bring the broken hair next to her ear behind her ear, "Do you mean your father's death day?"
Lin Qitian nodded stiffly.
"Mom wants to be with you even more, people always have to look forward, you can't always stay and go over. Didn't you wish your mother could accompany you a little more?" Mother Lin smiled, "We have to hurry up, it's going to rain this day." ”
In the distance, there was already a low pressure of black clouds, and the black clouds kept rolling, swallowing half of the sky with a little glow.
......
In the evening, it was windy and raining heavily.
The two worked together to complete the hand-rolled noodles, and the fragrant noodles were served to the table, and the two of them tacitly did not speak, and each quietly finished the noodles.
After Mother Lin cleaned up everything in the kitchen, she came to Lin Qitian's side, still touched his head, and said softly: "Xiaotian wants to take a bath, Mom put water for you?"
Lin Qitian didn't speak, turned around and hugged her.
I don't know how long it took, Mother Lin shouted, "Xiaotian?"
Lin Qitian was able to come back to his senses, he let go of the woman in front of him, "You are right, people can't just live in the past, everything should look forward." Heavy feelings should be buried deep in the heart and slowly remembered, rather than trapping oneself in it and fighting poison with poison. ”
As I am now, if I blindly cling to the past, I will only sink deeper and deeper......
He slowed down, took a deep breath, looked up at the person he was so familiar that he couldn't be more familiar with him, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for giving me this memory, but you are not her after all." Because of her, she hasn't come out........"
As soon as the words fell, Lin Qitian was blurred again, and when his eyes were focused, he was already in the ancient tower.
When Lu Wu saw him come back to his senses, he spoke: "Boy, you have been standing here for half an hour. ”
Lin Qitian wiped the corners of his eyes and snorted.
Lu Wu didn't know what had just happened to him, only that Lin Qitian had been standing since the Buddha's light flashed, and a very happy smile had been on his face, and it was not until later that the smile gradually disappeared.
Lin Qitian moved his body, and the bones on his body clicked. I stood here for half an hour, and I almost didn't give up.
"Seven Feelings and Bitter Sea!
A burst of ethereal chanting suddenly sounded, and the old monk in the white robe appeared in front of Lin Qitian again, and after reciting the Buddha's name, "Congratulations to the donor for passing the first layer, if you want to continue to break through the tower, please go to the second layer." ”
Just now I got out of the great joy? This tower has seven layers, doesn't it correspond to the seven emotions of people? If you want to completely break through this tower, you have to not indulge in your own seven emotions and six desires.
Oh, it's funny, I've just seen my own great joy, and I'm going to see what happens to me in the other six loves!
Lin Qitian didn't stay long, and went directly to the second floor............
