Chapter 16: The Clothed Tomb
The air was terrifyingly quiet, and Wu Er silently watched the suddenly lit candle flame, and saw the outline of a statue looming in the faint confusion.
Ye Feisong's eyes trembled for a long time, and he couldn't help but raise his hand to touch the thousand-year-old dust raised in the beam, and the corners of his mouth trembled slightly: "...... We really waited...... I've been waiting for so many years, and I almost thought that there was really no hope......"
Along the way, I have never seen Ye Feisong reveal such a demeanor that is extremely incompatible with his temperament, and Wu Er is also inexplicably determined, in this underground ancient temple, there is indeed something waiting for him!
"Then I'll go in......" Wu Er said softly, Ye Feisong came back to his senses, took down a dagger and handed it to him: "I don't know what will happen in the ancient temple, in short, everything still needs to be careful." β
Who knew that Wu Er didn't reach out to pick it up, shook his head and refused: "No need, some things have to be left to fate, if I really have something to do with the Wu clan you said, I will also take a risk for the unknown intuition in my heart, and I didn't answer you before, in fact, the name Qili Yuntang has been familiar to me since I was a child." β
Ye Feisong chuckled dumbly, so he had to take back the dagger and instructed: "That's okay, I'll wait for you outside, you kid had better come out alive, don't forget, Nian'an's girl is still waiting for your agreement with her in Sucheng." β
ββ¦β¦ Good. Wu Er nodded, then turned around and took a deep breath and slowly walked into the Wooden Buddha Temple.
Ye Feisong watched his figure completely melt into the shadows in the ancient temple, and then slowly sat down on the steps, and after a long sigh, he heard a 'creaking' sound in his ears, and the two vermilion lacquer doors actually closed slowly again, leaving only the beam of light on the surface of the bronze lock, and suddenly there was a cold glow.
Wu Er naturally also heard the movement behind him, so the footsteps stopped in the barren and dilapidated courtyard of the ancient temple, in the quiet, saw the alcove of the temple in front of him lit up a fire, as if reminding him to continue to move forward, the candle flame in the palace was not extinguished, and as the footsteps approached, Wu Er was able to see clearly what the statue of the looming silhouette was, unexpectedly, the so-called wooden Buddha Temple, enshrined is not the body of the Buddha, but a female statue, the statue raised its head slightly, closed its eyes lightly, the left hand was placed at the side, as if it had held something in its hand, the lotus finger of the right hand was naturally raised in front of the shoulder, and the long hair was scattered behind him, even after the vicissitudes of the world, the statue could be gazed at for a long time, which made Wu Er feel that she would open her eyes and look back at the illusion of the earth.
Inexplicable familiarity arises from his heart, is he really a descendant of the Wu clan? Wu Er thought so, so he slowly knelt down in front of the statue, and kowtowed three heads to the statue reverently and respectfully, just like his grandmother taught him to worship his ancestors in his hometown. Suddenly there was ' in the air. The beep 'sound whistled softly, the six candles burning on both sides of the statue platform suddenly burst into flames, and soon the sound of the wooden shaft rolling echoed in the ancient temple, where Wu Er knelt and worshipped, a section of the long stone slowly retreated towards the statue platform, revealing a stone staircase that only allowed one person to pass, the original looking up statue posture changed to the upper body slightly bowed, the lotus finger palm downward, and when Wu Er looked up again, but suddenly froze, I don't know when, the eyes of the statue of the god were slightly closed, the most strange and indescribable thing is that one of the eyes has a pupil that is dark blue, and is quietly staring at the person in front of him at this momentβ¦β¦
And the stone staircase on both sides of the earth wall climbed full of green vines, Wu Er climbed down the steps, the footsteps in the dim corridor seemed to wake up the sleeping fireflies for many years, and suddenly the corridor in front of him flowed with fine flying points of light, Wu Er was shocked to be dumbfounded, and the nose also smelled the faint fragrance again, and heard the murmuring sound of the stream, at the end of the corridor, there was an open dome space, there was a faint light sprinkled, several lines of flowing water surrounded the square flower lawn, and the white and yellow flowers surrounded a stone platform. There seems to be a small wooden coffin on the stone platform, the surface is covered with moss, and it seems that it is really just a well-dressed mound.
Wu Er walked closer, carefully scraping the moss on the surface of the wooden coffin, the texture of the surface carving was very familiar to him, and the unknown box found in the broken temple of Xianhe Mountain in his hometown before, could it be that the Wu clan was really inseparable from the Qili family? Wu Er took a deep breath, his hand was forced, the wooden coffin was opened, and when all were uncovered, it was a pure white fur beast corpse lying in the coffin, there was something similar to a wooden hairpin nailed to the lotus convex plate, Wu Er leaned over and looked around the wooden coffin, no other utensils were found, and finally his eyes fell on the wooden hairpin, and saw that the hairpin head was inlaid with a crystal clear stone, I am afraid that the only thing that can be brought out is this hairpin, no longer think about it, Wu Er reached out and pinched the wooden hairpin, but just touched the wooden hairpin, the fingers suddenly stinged, Wu Er was in pain, immediately let go, and the fingertips had blood beads attached to the stone of the wooden hairpin, the next moment, The clear stone actually absorbed the blood beads, and the beast corpse nailed through the chest by the wooden hairpin changed in just a moment, the original withered fur color gradually became bright, and the corpse turned from withered to glory at a speed visible to the naked eye, which frightened Wu Er to take a few steps back, but with the kung fu of tea, the beast corpse seemed to have been re-injected with life, and it also made Wu Er realize that the beast body was actually a cat, and it was a cat covered with snow-white long hair!
Wu Er calmed down, and the white cat in the box seemed to be just asleep, with such soft fur and gentle appearance that he couldn't feel the slightest evil atmosphere. Wu Er was so surprised by the strange scene that he was short of breath, but after all, he still made up his mind, and with a sharp force in his hand, he pulled the wooden hairpin out of the convex plate.
Almost at the same time, the dim space suddenly burst into white light, and the strong light instantly pierced Wu Er's eyes, only to feel a burst of blindness with great pain deep into the brain, Wu Er knelt on the flower lawn, couldn't help but snort, his body began to be heavy, and in his consciousness, it was like a curtain wrapped in a huge darkness......
As if in an endless long dream, in the dream, the body is always floating, overlooking a barren and barren land, soon a gust of wind arose, in the yellow dust, there are different forms of beasts through the soles of the feet, from all sides to a narrow mountain pass, in order to compete for the right to pass first, they wave their claws, roaring and roaring through the sky, the corpses gradually pile up the mountain pass, the red blood flows to the edge of the cliff, there is a light outside the mountain pass flashing, floating out of a clear bell, a blue streamer gushes out from the mouth of the cliff like a spring, between the heaven and the earth hangs a curtain-like tide, and instantly drowns all the beasts in the blue river of light, It was so quiet for a moment, and suddenly a giant hand broke through the river of light and poked out, directly grabbing the person who was looking down in the sky, and all the situations collapsed sharply, and the sky and the earth instantly became a pile of fragments and fell into the blue sea of streamers.
"Nurse, nurse, hurry, hurry, there is movement!" I heard an unusually familiar shout, as if someone had knocked over the chair again, and then there was a rush of footsteps, and the man in the hospital bed finally tightened his brow in the dreary afternoon after many days.
Wu Er felt that one eye was forcibly opened, and several unfamiliar faces appeared in the cloudy sight, white clothes, white hats, and blue masks, his pupils turned, and he finally searched for a familiar face in the corner.
"Mom, I'm so moved that I cry. Song Pan saw that Wu Er's eyes were fixed on his face, and he raised two fingers and shook them and shouted: "Wu Er! Can you see me?
"Yay ......" For Song Panbi's gesture of V, Wu Er slowly spit out a word.
"What's the matter?" Song Pan didn't hear clearly, turned his head and asked to the side: "Doctor, what did he just say?"
The doctor breathed a sigh of relief, as if to confirm that Wu Er was fine, and then replied to Song Pan seriously: "He just said, yes." The playful nurse on the side gave him a V.
"Damn, I still have the heart to joke, it seems that it is the same as my judgment, this kid is blessed with a great life!" Song Panton felt relieved, and the doctor obviously did not expect it, and nodded: "It stands to reason that a person who has been in a deep coma for seven days has a great possibility of brain death, but he can still wake up, which is a great luck, but I didn't expect to be able to speak, it's a miracle." β
"Then he ...... else" Song Pan glanced at Wu Er and pointed to his right eye, the doctor frowned and lowered his voice: " I have not encountered this kind of case, although his right eye can rotate with the left eye, but there is no response to the sense of light, under normal circumstances, this belongs to the category of inability to see, in other words, his right eye is actually blind, but strange here, through examination, the refractive system and photosensitive system of his eyeball do not have lesions, from a medical point of view, he should be able to see things, in my opinion, or should be transferred to a large general hospital with a higher level of medical care as soon as possible, we may not be able to do anything here. β
"Okay, got it, thank you, doctor. Song Panmu sent them out of the ward, turned around, and saw Wu Er looking out of the window at the moment, not knowing what to say for a while, seven days ago, they were still happily planning their graduation trip, they didn't expect to experience so many dangers, and now they can come back alive, it is already God's preference.
"Fatty, how did I come back?" In silence, Wu Er suddenly spoke, Song Pan was stunned for a moment, sighed, pulled over the chair and sat in front of the hospital bed, but did not answer in a hurry, but picked up a glass of warm water and handed it to him: "Let's drink saliva first, for so many days, you are still very weak, and it is not suitable to think about things immediately." β
Wu Er didn't refuse, he took the water cup and took a few sips with a straw, almost choked, and relieved himself for a long time: "Is there something wrong with my right eye?"
Song Pan patted him on the back, paused, and knew that he couldn't avoid the topic, so he had to say: " I'll answer your first question first, didn't we encounter a big fish attack in the Candleyin River, it was Ding Mian who saved me, we found the hill sacrifice mausoleum, but I didn't expect it to be dilapidated, there was no complete thing at all, and I didn't happen to bump into that group of Tufuzi, with my Song Pan's three-inch tongue fooled them into a daze, saying that they were lost in the mountains, and Ding Mian originally looked like a wooden man, but I didn't expect that group of people to really believe it, so they showed us a way out, and finally walked to the foot of the mountain to see Ye Feisong carrying you out, which scared me at the time......" Song Pan wanted to talk about the scene when he was bleeding all over his face, but after thinking about it, he had to bring it over: "I thought you were dead, Ye Feisong said that you were just in a coma, and then confessed to Ding Mian to send you to Ruxian Boss Lady, and then you didn't wake up all night, Sister Xian was worried that your condition was getting worse, so she asked someone to send you to Ruobei City People's Hospital." β
"Didn't anyone else come out of the mountains?" Wu Er's eyes drooped, he didn't want to tell Song Pan the truth, this trip into the mountain to find the tomb was a bureau set up by Ye Feisong from the beginning, and he didn't care about the life and death of the people in the bureau at all, and then what happened in the Wooden Buddha Temple was beyond his previous understanding of the natural worldγ
"I don't know for the time being, Ye Feisong went back later, I should have gone to save them, in short, I can wake up, I am also relieved, otherwise, I really don't know how to explain to your grandmother." In fact, Song Pan also wanted to know what happened to Wu Er after the big fish attack, but he was afraid that he would ask his eyes, so he simply swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
Wu Er drank a few more sips of water, feeling that his body could already move slightly, he knew Song Pan too well, and knew that he was avoiding his second question, so he simply defined himself: "If you don't say it, I can guess, is my right eye blind?"
Song Pan's face turned pale, and he hurriedly denied it: "How is it possible, the doctor just said that he would observe for a while, he belongs to a small city here, and he is not authoritative enough in ophthalmology, and when your body recovers better in a few days, I will take you to a large general hospital over there in my house, and the medicine will definitely cure the disease." In the end, Song Pan himself lost his confidence, Wu Er didn't ask any more, after all, being able to survive was already considered a rebirth for him, and he knew that since he entered that ancient temple, many things had extended to the realm he had never touched......
In the following week, Wu Er recovered quickly, except for his right eye, which was still invisible, the physical examination report showed that all the indicators of his body were within the normal range, and the hospital did not make any definite diagnosis of his eyes, thinking that since he could wake up in a long coma, he was more inclined to his eyes and maybe his eyes could miraculously improve.
Song Pan persuaded him to go to Yunjin City with him, anyway, Wu Er also promised to go to his uncle's unit for an internship, but Wu Er thought about it carefully, no matter what, he had to go back to his hometown first, although the two places were thousands of miles apart, but since opening the unknown box, things that seem to be related to the Qili family have begun to appear, like a lingering nightmare, since he was a child, he learned from his grandmother that his parents left him because of divorce, but after this incident, in the dark, he gradually doubted the truth that his grandmother told him, at least in his current opinion, the Qili family is far more complicated than he knew before, he wants to confirm the truth by himself, and he also wants to explore, what kind of mysterious power did the Wu clan have?
