Chapter 35: The Hall of the Great Hero
"Meow - Lao Tzu get down by himself!" Gou Rixin, who was kicked, jumped off the bus, turned around and yelled at the driver.
After waiting for more than half an hour, another 42 road came speeding up, Gou Rixin followed behind a young man, and the ghost got into the car.
"Your cat?" the driver glanced at the man.
"Oh? no, no. β
Gou Rixin hid under the car seat, curled up into a ball and only showed his eyes. I saw the driver holding a broom and striding violently.
The stop sign shows that the last train is at 9 p.m. in winter. Gou Rixin squatted tremblingly under the empty stop sign, waiting for the last one.
There are almost no people on the cars coming and going, but each car still habitually stops in front of the stop sign, opens and closes the door, and goes through the process.
The last No. 42 drove slowly through the night, and Gou Rixin squinted his cat's eyes and meowed softly.
The car door snapped open, and Gou Rixin jumped in, but he didn't rush to hide. There was no one in the car except for a young driver, who made a round and jumped into the first row, sitting precariously and staring ahead.
The little driver in the driver's seat froze.
"Meow-" Gou Rixin screamed softly.
The driver snapped the door shut and started the car tremblingly.
Today is the first time he has been on duty alone, and the master instructed that even if the car is empty, it must stop at every stop, open and close the door, which is an assessment for new drivers. The most important thing is that the last train must not miss any stops, otherwise... It will be followed by ghosts who didn't get into the car.
The driver peeked at the black cat behind him, and cold sweat began to break out all over his body.
"Master..." The little driver dialed Master's phone in fright.
"What's wrong?"
"No... It's okay, it's just that without you today, I'm not sure. The little driver stammered.
"With your technique, Master believes in you, don't be distracted while driving, it's the last shift, the empty car?"
The little driver's hand on the steering wheel tightened, "No." β
"Then you still dare to call, you are not afraid of being complained, hang up!"
"Don't Master, I... I just want to hear your voice, it's a big night, it's lonely to drive alone. "The little driver wants to cry. He is afraid that the cat is an unknown secret, especially a black cat on this big night actually took the bus, do you say evil?
βΒ·Β·Β·β There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
"Master?" the little driver shouted in a trembling voice.
"Xiao Zhang, I know that young people nowadays think differently from us, and I don't have any prejudices, but I am already a family person, you are so young, you will meet better..." As soon as the voice ended, a busy beep came from the phone.
"Masterβ"
After seven or eight stops, there was still a cat and a person on the train, and the only thing that spoke was the sound of the station being announced once and for all. When he arrived at the gate of B, Gou Rixin stood up with a meow and walked to the back door.
The car door opened and closed, and after the black cat got out of the car, the little driver sat on the driver's seat, his face pale and cold sweat.
Gou Rixin stood at the school gate, smelling the familiar smell of pancakes, and took a deep breath. He walked briskly to the women's dormitory of the medical school, dried fish, warm quilt, he is back!
When he arrived at the door of the dormitory, Gou Rixin saw two people coming out of the grove opposite, and he was stunned.
I saw that the boy lowered his head and whispered something, and the girl nodded, looking shy. Finally, the boy patted the girl on the shoulder and watched her go upstairs.
"Gou Rixin!" Qiao Ming ran over in surprise, grabbed Gou Rixin and looked excited, "Where have you been!
"Are you really back?" Feng Mosheng walked over and looked at the one person and one cat with a smile, "I just said I didn't run far, go back quickly, and give the cat a bath to disinfect." β
"Well, goodbye, senior brother. Qiao Ming grabbed Gou Rixin's paw and waved his hand, then put the cat on the ground, "Hurry up, follow me, don't be seen by the dormitory aunt, the recent investigation has been strict." β
"Let's see who's back!" Qiao Ming pushed open the dormitory door, and the five girls turned around in unison, and suddenly exclaimed.
"Xiaoxin!" Gou Rixin was surrounded by six girls, and the unhappiness just now dissipated instantly.
"I'll go and disinfect him first," Qiao Ming hurriedly shouted when he saw the girls stretching out their claws, "I'll do it later." β
"In the evening we ... Ghost movies, wine, popcorn, cats... How's that?" the Boss suggested.
The dormitory was filled with cheers. Gou Rixin was taken to the bathroom.
"Where did you go?" Qiao Ming put Gou Rixin into the hot water basin, put his head and front paws on the outside of the basin, and asked while rubbing Gou Rixin's back.
"Caught by a cat dealer. β
"Damn!" Qiao Ming looked stunned, "Really?"
Gou Rixin stretched out his paw and handed the wound on his forefoot to the mirror, "There is still a tooth missing," he said and smiled.
Qiao Ming looked at Gou Rixin in the mirror, and the joy on his face turned into a thick self-blame, "Does it hurt?"
βΒ·Β·Β· It doesn't hurt. β
"Then be careful, don't let your paws get wet. β
"Oh. β
"How did you get out?Where did you go, how did you come back?Did you see my cat-finding revelation?Where did you stay last night?Is it cold?"
"Don't worry, my Ji people have their own heavenly appearance, and besides, I know astronomy and geography, can I still find my way home?"
Qiao Ming picked up a handful of water and poured it on Gou Rixin's head, "When did you learn to brag?"
Gou Rixin shook his head with a puff, looked at the mirror, and glared at Qiao Ming angrily, "Wash well!"
"I will!" Qiao Ming gritted his teeth and rubbed Gou Rixin with the bath liquid in his hand. Gou Rixin lay in the basin and screamed in pain, causing the people in the dormitory to poke their heads in one after another, and when they saw Qiao Ming's gloomy and sympathetic face, they shrank back again.
"Does Qiao Ming have a tendency to abuse cats?"
"Who's to say it isn't?"
"What should I do with Gou Rixin?"
"Take turns guarding in case you are poisoned by Xiao Ming. β
The eldest and second opened the door of the bathroom, one smiled and took a small dried fish and fed it to Gou Rixin, and the other hurriedly took out a hair dryer and waited to take over Qiao Ming's work.
"You've worked hard, rest and rest, just come here. The boss said with a smile.
Qiao Ming wiped his hands with a cold face and went out of the bathroom to find the medicine box.
"Ah, Xiaoxin is injured!"
The girls heard the voice of the second child and rushed into the bathroom, sighing in distress.
After a while, the boss came out with the fluffy Gou Rixin, grabbed one of his paws and kept blowing, after taking the medicine, Gou Rixin lay in the cat nest, but buried his head in eating.
"Tsk, I don't know where I went, I must have suffered a lot. Wen Xin sat next to Qiao Ming and said intentionally or unintentionally.
"I was caught and wanted to buy it, and I was so scared that I escaped. β
"Really?" Wen Xin said in surprise.
Qiao Ming nodded silently.
"Poor Xiaoxin, hateful cat dealer!" Wen Xin was indignant, looking at the back of Gou Rixin's head full of pity.
On a big night, the people in the dormitory turned off the lights and huddled together with two large buckets of popcorn to watch ghost movies. Gou Rixin silently moved into Qiao Ming's arms and meowed lightly.
"I was caught by a cat and dog dealer and locked in a cage, but fortunately, the cat and dog dealer's daughter let me out at night, and it was too cold at night, so I hid in Gutan Park all night. β
"There, I saw the little girl's mother, and stumbled upon a ghost nest, which is in the garden reserve of Gutan Park, where the ghosts do not go to reincarnation, and they have no feet, I want to find out where those ghosts come from. β
"I'm going to go to the Thorn Fox Temple again, I haven't entered the Daxiong Treasure Hall yet, don't worry, I'll go alone this time, if I don't find anything, you can help me again." β
"You..."
"Shhhhhh
"Ahh Only Qiao Ming hugged Gou Rixin and watched it with relish.
"No, I don't. "Qiao Ming searched for the keyword 'footless corpse', but he didn't find the slightest clue.
Gou Rixin was not much surprised, after this incident, he thought it was time for him to transform, he was no longer the Gou Rixin he used to be. In the new year, he has to seize the time to find his fate. Born as a cat, too weak to keep it all right one day, it will really hang up, reincarnated as a dull cat and dog, and will never be able to get rid of the reincarnation of the animal path.
"Tonight, I'm going to go to the Thorn Fox Temple again. β
"I'll go with you. Qiao Ming was categorical.
Gou Rixin looked surprised, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't explore with me?"
"Who called us friends? Qiao Ming patted his chest.
The most important thing is that she can't let others get involved, she is hard-fought and not afraid.
One man and one cat were fully armed, and once again came to the Thorn Fox Temple.
It was quiet, not even the sound of the wind. But this time, the gate of the Thorn Fox Temple could not be opened. The temple was dark and empty. Gou Rixin scratched and scratched and bumped, but the dark door just didn't open except for the creaking sound.
Qiao Ming held a flashlight and shone inside, "It seems to be locked from the inside." β
"Get out of the way!" Gou Rixin stepped back a few meters away, bent over, and rushed over.
Listening to the bang, Gou Rixin's head was dizzy, his brain hurt, and the door of the Thorn Fox Temple was still not opened.
"What are you hitting," Qiao Ming rubbed Gou Rixin's head helplessly, "No matter how you say it, it's a temple, you... You should have to kowtow, right?"
"Lao Tzu hits... Kowtow helps?"
"Give it a try, maybe the temple is angry because of the fire last time, I'll help you light candles." With that, Qiao Ming took out a short stick of incense from his schoolbag, took out a lighter and lit it.
The cold sandalwood came to his nose, Gou Rixin walked to the door and hesitated for a moment, slammed his head on the ground, and knocked his head three times. Qiao Ming looked at him, covered his mouth and smiled.
The gate of the Thorn Fox Temple, squeaked, opened in response.
"I..." Qiao Ming's hand holding the incense shook and was speechless for a while.
Gou Rixin was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Qiao Ming, and meowed to her to follow. A man and a cat side by side, cautiously stepped into the Thorn Fox Temple.
The flashlight swept away, and the courtyard of the Thorn Fox Temple remained unchanged, only the black Niangniang Hall was left with only a piece of wreckage. Qiao Ming turned on the light in the courtyard with trepidation, and saw that the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall was half-hidden, leaving a dark gap.
One is born, and the second is ripe.
A long stick was pressed against the door, and the door opened with a creak, and Qiao Ming followed behind Gou Rixin with a flashlight in one hand and a nunchuck in the other.
Although the Thorn Fox Temple is small, the three Buddhas enshrined in the Daxiong Hall are very high, and the Buddha's body reaches the roof. In the middle, the Buddha Shakyamuni with a golden body has a kind face, on the left is Amitabha Buddha holding a lotus lamp, and on the right is Medicine Buddha holding a pagoda. The brown offering table is twice as large as the Mahavira Hall, and it still has an incense burner and candlesticks on it.
"Light a candle?"
"Dot. β
The difference is that there are no prepared candles on the candlesticks of the Mahavira Hall. But fortunately, Qiao Ming was prescient, she took out a red candle from her school bag, lit it and inserted it into the candlestick.
At the moment when the candlestick was placed on the offering table, the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall suddenly slammed shut, and Gou Rixin and Qiao Ming were so frightened that they looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door. But the door seemed to be locked from the outside, and it couldn't be pushed open no matter how much it was pushed.
"Damn! I know!" Qiao Ming cursed in frustration, each time it will be more dangerous than the other.
Gou Rixin scratched the door, seeing that it didn't move at all, he was at a loss for a while.
"Or..."
"Smash!" Gou Rixin suddenly interrupted Qiao Ming's words, he couldn't let Qiao Ming be in danger anymore.
"Don't be impulsive," Qiao Ming said helplessly, "We can wait a little longer, it's not too late to smash it later." β
"No, what if it collapses like last time. β
"Okay, let me take a breath. β
"Oh. Gou Rixin lowered his head and walked to Qiao Ming's side.
Qiao Ming moved the futon to the door, sat down against the wall, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, the one who should come will always come." My grandmother said that as long as you are sincere and do more good deeds, you will definitely be rewarded. Although you don't like to be a vegetarian, you can occasionally fast for a few months, like my grandma and grandfather, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue. β
"Hmm. β
"I know you've been wronged this time, but I didn't protect you. I didn't expect cat dealers to commit murder in schools. I'm sorry. Qiao Ming touched Gou Rixin's cat head and whispered.
"It's none of your business, it's my reason. At that time, he noticed that there was always something behind him, so he chased him out. Unexpectedly, as soon as I left the campus, I was trapped and loaded into a pickup truck.
"Don't worry, I will help you find a way to reincarnate as a human being. β
Being a cat is still too weak, and there is no room for resistance in the face of people. Qiao Ming slowly clenched his fists, not knowing what he was thinking.
One person and one cat waited for more than half an hour, but there was no movement in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Qiao Ming lit another candle in confusion, and waited for a while, but there was still no result. She glanced at Gou Rixin and hesitated, "Do you want to stop kowtowing a few heads?"
Gou Rixin wrinkled a cat face and said "um" helplessly.
Qiao Ming smiled gloatingly and lit a new stick of incense. After Gou Rixin finished kowtowing, he inserted it into the incense burner. But all around, except for the flickering candlelight and the incense of green smoke, there was no change at all.
"It's been an hour and a half. β
"Let's go. Gou Rixin walked to the door dejectedly, scratched his paws again, and the door still didn't open, "Smash it." β
"Isn't it, not good?" Qiao Ming hesitated.
"He'll be fine with us?" asked Gou Rixin.
"Oh. Qiao Ming slurped twice, raised his nunchuck, and slammed it over. The lattice of the gate rattled and a hole was smashed. Qiao Ming was so frightened that he took a step back, frightened.
Damn, I've never done anything like smashing and burning, and I'm here in Gou Rixin, and I've used it all.
There was another bang, and the latticework of the temple door was completely smashed open. Gou Rixin jumped out, but was surprised to find that there was a seal on the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall. The seal was only half-cut and worn, and he clenched his claws, trying to make out the blurred handwriting on it: Fu Jiaqing Bingchen year seal.
"What are you doing, open the door!" Qiao Ming poked his head out and shouted at Gou Rixin.
"Oh. Gou Rixin jumped to his feet and scratched the old seal with one claw.
Qiao Ming opened the door and stepped out of the threshold, "Damn, such an evil door." What do you see?"
"Seals. Gou Rixin pointed to the door.
Qiao Ming studied for a long time, but the seal had been weathered for a long time, and he really couldn't see anything substantial.
"What else did you find?"
"It's gone. Gou Rixin was a little disappointed.
"Forget it, it seems that today is in vain, don't be discouraged, let's come back next time. "The axe.
A man and a cat stepped out of the gate of the Thorn Fox Temple, and a slight wind blew outside. Qiao Ming wrapped his clothes tightly and followed behind Gou Rixin.
But as she walked, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she stomped her foot, but she didn't make a sound.
"Gou..."
A gust of wind whistled by, making Qiao Ming shut up, but in an instant, she found that her body was also moving with the wind!
"Gou Rixin!" Qiao Ming shouted anxiously, struggling to run forward, but no matter how hard she tried, her body was fluttering, and she was dragged by the wind towards the dense forest by the roadside.
"Qiao Ming!" Gou Rixin turned his head and found that Qiao Ming was being pulled by something, and hurriedly rushed over and bit her trouser legs, "Woo woo..."
"I don't know, I... I feel like I'm out of gravity. β
