Chapter Seventy-Five: The Little Temple
The rain came down like a curtain to obscure our view, and the sound of a building dismembering was heard, and the ground where we were shook again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I steadied myself and looked ahead, the fire was getting smaller and smaller, and the screaming curses inside were fading.
At this moment, the demon tower was shaken, a scorching smell came out, my heart was cold, shaking means that it is about to collapse, at this time the little Taoist priest has not come out, can not be so fast! I thought so, crazy ran to the front of the demon tower, but it was too late, the tower collapsed in all directions, I desperately yelled in the rain: "Zhang Zhuyi!"
But the rumbling sound drowned out my screams, and when I thought about going any further, Kushi and Bajian grabbed me, tears and rain poured out, and he died...... In this case, there is no chance of survival. I fell to my knees, staring ahead, when a figure broke through the rain curtain and slowly approached us.
I wiped the rain from my face and looked at it again, this figure was tall and thin, with a long sword behind him, wasn't it the little Taoist!
I didn't want to get up from the ground, rushed over, hugged him, warm tears blurred my eyes, and I shouted excitedly: "Damn, I thought you were dead!"
The little Taoist priest didn't speak, and after a long time, he patted me on the shoulder and said, "I am relieved to see you and Brother Wang get out of trouble from above, as far as I am concerned, as long as you are alive, I still have the idea of living......
Hearing the heartfelt words of the little Taoist, I was stunned for a moment, when I was in Yuanling, I found that he was lonely and cold, to Dunhuang, a long talk on the roof, I know that he has traveled all over the world alone over the years, and has no friends, so living in loneliness, time must be long and difficult for him, I am especially glad to have made him a friend in this era, and I am glad that I can let him get out of the long loneliness and torment.
When I was emotional, I said to him, "Let's be brothers, right?"
Bajian was sucking his nose excitedly at this time because of the little Taoist priest's escape, and when I called him, his heart was even more sad and exploded, and he shouted: "I only have my sister since I was a child, if I really want to worship, count me, I will be blessed and enjoy the same hardships in the future, my brother is going to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, my king Bajian did not blink his eyes, and followed down." ”
Hearing the words of Bajian's temperament, my heart swelled with blood and nodded. In our time, I have also worshipped Xue Wei and Chen Li, although the three of us are not brothers, but the relationship is not ordinary, but now there is one less Liu Baocai among the people who are worshipping at this time, it would be good to be here at this time, but he can also make up for this glass of wine later.
The Kushi saw that the three of us were extremely emotional, and snorted disdainfully, but to be honest, my impression of him has been changing, although I have been poisoned by him, but from his repeated rescues, I found that his heart is not so bad, and he is the oldest among us, so I said to him: "You are our witnesses, we are all partners in nine deaths, and now God has sent Zhang Zhuyi back......"
Before he finished speaking, the treasurer glanced at me unhappily, and coldly snatched the words: "The three little ghosts are really pretentious, seeing that you want to die for me, I will be your witness." ”
With the witnesses, we looked at each other, knelt on the ground together, swore an oath to God, and drank blood wine, the treasurer looked at us three serious and happy faces, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, he sadly put our three hands together, and said with emotion: "Remember what you said today, no one can abandon anyone, no one can betray the other......
The three of us nodded silently, but the mood of the treasurer at this moment surprised me, I thought he would sour us a few more words, but what he said just now was very heavy, as if he was saying it to himself.
After the ceremony was completed, the three of us stood up, I didn't feel it just now, but now I felt the coldness of the rain completely, I shuddered and said, "What should I do now? This place has no other place to shelter from the rain except for the demon tower that has fallen down!"
The treasurer looked at me and shuddered, and said expressionlessly: "I have been here before, and there is a small temple dedicated to the gods of Loulan not far away, so let's go and hide there for the time being!"
I nodded, and ran to the back of the tower, and after passing through a not-so-dense poplar forest, I vaguely saw a temple standing, the size of a room, and I didn't know what gods were enshrined in it. Judging from the orientation of the temple, it is exactly the right tower that has not completely collapsed.
I don't know how long this small temple has existed, there are no windows, no doors, it is dilapidated, the only thing is fortunate that it still has a cap on its head, which can block the rainstorm. However, I have been hit in the tower before, so I have the feeling that I have been bitten by a snake for ten years and am afraid of the well rope. I looked at this small temple carefully, it was simple and vicissitudes in the rain, with a trace of cold atmosphere, and in the temple hall, there were some old rags swaying and dancing against the rain, like the flowing clothes of female ghosts.
The small temple is made of stone from the Western Regions, it looks very solid, and it is especially simple, although it is different from the temple architecture in our Central Plains, but it may be on a rainy night, I always think of it as the Lanruo Temple in "A Chinese Ghost Story", looking a little scary.
After entering the temple, it was pitch black, except for the sound of rain, everything was quiet, the four of us leaned together carefully, my heart was unspeakably nervous, I kept praying in my heart: "Bodhisattva bless, we are just looking for a resting place, this place must not be the same as the demon tower, let us bother, I don't have the strength to toss at all......"
Just as he was thinking this, the master said hoarsely, "I remember when I came here before, there was a candle lamp in front of the statue of the god, don't you have the seed of divine fire (lighter) in your hands? ”
Hearing this, the little Taoist priest asked the direction of the candle lamp of the treasurer, and after confirming the position, he lit the lighter, and in the faint light of the fire, I faintly saw the curve of something in front of me, but the fire was too small to see very clearly.
The little Taoist priest followed the direction of the treasurer and groped for the candle lamp, and before lighting it, a question flashed in my mind: "This temple looks so broken, it should be some age, why haven't the candles here been used up?"
Just thinking about it, the little Taoist priest lit the lighter on the wick of the candle flame, I thought that the fire would come out slowly at this time, but what I didn't expect was that suddenly, after the first flame jumped out, the candle flames in a row on the side seemed to be equipped with some mechanism, one by one, all lit up. I gasped and looked at the scene in front of me in disbelief, there were three rows of candles, and each row had a dozen candles.
I didn't expect the small temple to have such incense, but just as I looked at the candles, I realized that something was wrong, these candles were new at all, and so on...... I looked at the little Taoist priest in a daze, and the little Taoist priest seemed to realize something, and turned his gaze to me, and the two of us almost said in unison: "Everbright candle!"
