Chapter 3: The Strange Man and the Core Stone
Leaving the woman's home, my mood was much lighter, and when I found a secluded place, I switched to the human state again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAfter all, as a ghost wandering around in broad daylight, it's not good in case you meet a bull-headed horse. After turning back into a human, I can continue to play.
There are many famous tourist attractions in Chengdu, and there are many in the city alone, such as Chunxi Road, Tianfu Square, Jinli, Kuanzhai Alley, Du Fu Thatched Cottage, Wuhou Temple, Qingyang Palace, and many more. There are more outside the urban area, Huanglongxi Ancient Town, Dujiangyan, Qingcheng Mountain......
I thought of Mount Qingcheng, and I thought of Baya, an Indian girl I met in Mumbai, who had studied art in Mount Qingcheng, and we had a deep relationship. And her brother Amir, the big black cow Shabak? Ray, Dabai, Asin, Neha, and many others, but time has passed, and things are not people.
I decided to take a trip to Mount Qingcheng. The real person of the empty child often whispered in my ear, telling me to go to Qingcheng Mountain to visit a Yiyang real person, saying that there would be a surprise.
Who cares if he is surprised or not, for me, life and death have been experienced, what else can surprise me? Of course, the teacher's order cannot be violated, I still have to go, but it is the first time to visit, and I must bring some gifts.
After thinking about it, there was no suitable gift, so I decided to go to Qingcheng Mountain first, and then go to see if there was anything I could buy and bring up the mountain as a gift.
From Chengdu to Qingcheng Mountain, you can take the high-speed rail, and then take a minibus to the foot of the mountain, there are two roads up the mountain, the front mountain and the back mountain, the front mountain can take a car to go up, and the back mountain can only climb the mountain.
In order to get a ticket, I had to switch modes, get on the train in the form of a spirit, and then find a place to sit at the junction of the carriages.
There weren't many people in the car, and there were still a lot of empty seats, but I didn't go over to sit there, and with my current cultivation, sitting there was the same. After I sat down, I began to practice. During the time I came back, I was busy with other things, and I had almost no time to cultivate, and I didn't know if I would encounter trouble when I went up the mountain this time.
The journey was smooth, I had reached the foot of the mountain in front of Qingcheng Mountain, the towering mountains towered into the clouds, because it was already autumn, the fog on the mountain was heavy, and the temperature had dropped.
As I walked, there were a lot of vendors selling souvenirs and snacks, all of which were unremarkable and a little unremarkable, and just as I was about to turn to leave, a voice stopped me.
"Brother," the strong local accent of Chengdu was mixed with the unique local accent of Qingcheng Mountain, although it was not very obvious, but I could still hear it, "I have good things here, do you want it?" ā
When I looked up, it turned out to be a man about thirty years old, and his face should have been in the mountains all year round, and his skin was very yellow and rough, especially a scar at the corner of his eye, which made him look even more rough. I smiled and didn't answer.
The man actually walked in front of him and pulled something into his arms, and I subconsciously stepped back, although I was not afraid of any threat, but I still instinctively took a step back.
When the man saw me retreating, he touched his head embarrassedly, and smiled innocently, "I see that you have been looking here for a long time, do you want something special to give as a gift?" "He was asking me, but not in a questioning tone.
When I looked closer, I realized that he actually had a small braid on the back of his head, which was not very thick, but it seemed to have been there for at least a few years. This person is not the kind of hipster in the big city, and he does not have a cynical demeanor, but looks extraordinarily simple.
The man beckoned me to go with him, I just shook my head, and he came to a big tree and stopped, and he continued to wave to me. Actually, I was already a little irritable in my heart, and I was very disgusted with the tricks of these small traders and hawkers to solicit business, but I didn't expect him to be so cheeky that I repeatedly rejected him and didn't give up.
I looked around, there were still a lot of people here, there were passing tourists everywhere, and I was still a little curious, this person was really a little weird. The clothes on that suit were very much like Taoist robes, but they were not, and his demeanor and movements were very much like those of a cultivator.
Seeing him smiling and waving to me, I walked over. It is a large yellow horn tree, and it takes three adults to hug it. When the man saw me coming, he sat down on the stone platform by himself, and I walked up to him.
The man carefully took out the thing in his hand, it was actually a somewhat yellowed handkerchief, and he smiled at me, and slowly opened the handkerchief.
"Look!" The man asked me to sit next to him, and I looked at the handkerchief as a nice little stone, light gray on the surface, like one of the goose stones that you can pick up in the river, but on closer inspection it was not.
The stone was about the size of two quail eggs, and it didn't look smooth, but I could see that something was flowing slowly inside the stone, and under the light gray, there seemed to be dozens of dark red lines like capillaries, and these dark red lines were constantly flowing, and for a moment, I actually saw the stone beat like a heart.
This feeling made me very uncomfortable, and I quickly looked away, but the man was still looking at me with a smile on his face, "This thing is special enough, you can give it as a gift." ā
I looked at the strange man in disbelief, and then slowly accentuated a few words, "Here it is." Why? ā
"This thing is only waiting for the person who is destined, you are the person who is destined," said the man laughing and turned to leave, I wanted to chase after it, but in the blink of an eye, there was no trace, leaving only the strange stone on the stone platform.
Although, I have already experienced a lot of strange things, including seeing the water lotus that has transformed into a human form, the six-winged earth fire butterfly that is overwhelming in the underground palace, the big bat that can talk, etc., but I am not only a little shocked to see this scene just now.
"Huh?" A large head suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, blocking almost all of my vision, and just as I was about to pick up the unknown object with my hand, I was actually hugged.
What kind of monster was this, I almost suffocated in my arms, I pushed it away, and then I almost sat on the ground with my ass.
"Brother Madman, it's me! Big eyes! Remember? We only had a video two days ago, did you go back to China so soon to save me? I'm about to go up to the mountains to ask the Taoist chief for help......" The chatter of this guy in front of me finally made me figure out who he was.
Zhao Dayan is still so ugly, no, it should be said that it is even uglier! I finally understand what video scammers are all about.
This guy looks older than when he was in school, he looks at least forty years old from a distance, but he is actually only in his early twenties, with wrinkles on his face, heavy bags under his eyes and black circles, especially his forehead seems to be shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, in other words, his Yin Tang is black.
It was preliminarily determined that this guy had probably encountered something evil.
I patted the dust off my body, then picked up the stone and put it away, "Big eyes, you're really a kid!" I patted him on the shoulder again.
"Senior brother madman, you're back, I'm saved now, or let's go down the mountain." Zhao Dayan said that he was going to pull me to the station.
I hurriedly waved my hand, "No hurry, no hurry." ā
Hearing me say this, Zhao Dayan became even more anxious, "Senior brother, I'm dying, don't worry!" This guy said two lines of tears, and he couldn't stop falling down. I secretly scolded this guy for why he didn't act, and what kind of ghost live broadcast he wanted, now it's okay, let's hit the evil spirit.
Although I thought so, I didn't say anything, but I changed the conversation, "You also know, I am now a Taoist priest of Maoshan Mountain, and this time I went up the mountain on the order of my master to meet a senior, so I can't go down the mountain immediately." ā
Hearing that I was going to meet my seniors, Zhao Dayan suddenly took my hand and walked directly towards the tour bus going up the mountain, "Senior brother, let's hurry up the mountain, it's late, it's going to be dark." ā
I scolded this kid secretly, and his face changed too quickly, and besides, it wasn't yet noon, so even if he walked, it wouldn't be dark. But I had another thing in my mind, the man just now was really weird, it was too abnormal to appear and disappear, and the stone, I looked and touched the stone, it was warm.
Unexpectedly, this stone was on my body, and it actually had a temperature, and Zhao Dayan was in front of me, so I couldn't take it out and look at it, so I said, "Okay, we'll go up the mountain immediately, but it will take a while on the road, so I'll go first to make it convenient." With that, I walked towards the public toilet.
Zhao Dayan actually followed, looking at the posture because he was afraid that I would run away and stick to me. I shook my head and quickened my pace.
I picked a squatting position, locked the door, and peed, and with the sound of the water, I escaped from the rock.
In addition, something surprising happened, the stone turned from the original light gray to blood red, and the lines hidden in it also turned into capillaries, and the blood inside was clearly flowing, and with the blood circulation, the stone actually began to beat like a heart.
I couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "The Core Stone! ā
"Senior brother, what do you say? I didn't hear you. Zhao Dayan's voice came from the door panel.
I hurriedly replied, "I'm not very good at my stomach, nothing, nothing." ā
The core stone, which is said to only exist in the center of the earth, is the heart of the mother earth, and the function of the human heart is almost the same, but the mother earth is the existence of a god like the heavenly father, and the core stone is the life of the mother earth.
My heart was beating wildly at the thought of this, and if this was really the core stone, then maybe I was in big trouble......
"Senior brother, senior brother, you won't fall into the pit, right? Senior brother ......, "With Zhao Dayan's wild knocking, I came to my senses and hurriedly opened the door of the toilet cubicle.
Zhao Da was also startled when he saw the cold sweat on my head, "Senior brother, you are not lightly ill, you can't listen to the medicine!" He said with a concerned expression.
I really want to go up and give him two kicks, but at the moment, none of that matters.
"Let's go." I've already galloped out, and it seems that there are many secrets behind it.
