Chapter 151: Yuan Shen Gu (2)
"Tell me about the mirage." I said succinctly.
"That has nothing to do with Mr. Long." He was sensitive and immediately refused.
"Is that your illusion? However, everyone really disappeared in the same place. I don't care about the Russians, just hand me the pikewoman. I said.
My condition is very simple, retrieving the spear girl is also equivalent to indirectly leaving another clue for subsequent searches.
"With only this one condition attached, we will make a deal?" Zuo Fengshou asked.
I nodded, "For now, but I can't guarantee that anyone else has insight into your secrets." I can only promise that I won't leak the news, that's all. ”
Zuo Fengshou laughed: "Okay, Mr. Long is quick to talk, and when you walk out of the Petroglyph Valley later, the spear girl will be waiting outside." ”
Without saying another word, I slowly stepped back, away from the edge of the cavern, and stuck to the rock wall.
Illusion is endless, unfathomable, and the most brilliant illusionist takes human life as if it were a bag.
I can only be glad that I was vigilant enough that I didn't fall off the cliff and die with no place to bury.
"Just gone?" Zuo Fengshou's voice came again.
"What else does Mr. Zuo have to say?" I held the rock wall with my right hand and slowly retreated.
"I have a lot of questions related to the Mogao Grottoes and want to discuss them with Mr. Long, but now is not the time. Maybe in a few days, when the turmoil in Luopan Village has subsided, I will visit Mr. Long's house - no, go to the Mogao Grottoes and discuss with Mr. Long on the spot. I have always felt that only Mr. Long is my bosom friend and can discuss big plans together. He said.
I don't believe in this sentence, the so-called "joint discussion" is just that he thinks I have the value of use.
"Okay, then we'll see you in the Mogao Grottoes." I nodded slightly.
Now, I don't care about Bao Toad, I just want to be able to exit the Petroglyph Valley safely and return to Luopan Village.
Since everyone has ignored Zuo Fengshou, I have to go back and give everyone a heads-up.
Zuo Fengshou's existence is extremely terrifying, and when those ancient illusions are exerted to the extreme, I am afraid that half of Dunhuang City will fall into panic.
I retreated to the entrance to the valley of petroglyphs, looking vigilantly to the left and right, and crossed the stone gap sideways.
Ignoring the existence of Baoyu and Gem just now, they are reclining in the grass, and on the other side is a spear girl.
I took a breath and ignored the two brothers, Baoyu and Baobao, but picked up the spear girl on my back and quickly returned the same way.
After half an hour of walking, the spearwoman gradually woke up and sobbed on my back.
"It's all right, go back to the stone tower. Rest assured, the Snow Bodhisattva and the Great Demon Hand are all there, and they are very safe. I whispered to comfort her.
"I've become a piece of waste...... Mr. Long, I have really become a waste, and now I just stuff the gun in my hand, and I don't have the courage to pull the trigger. She said intermittently.
I didn't ask why, I just quickened my pace.
The farther away from the petroglyph valley, the more reassuring I am.
"What have I been through? Everyone I have killed has come to me to ask for my life, and they will come to me in the reincarnation of three lives and three lives...... I can only make cattle and horses, and make grass and rings to redeem my killing karma. I see my future three lives, all ......" she said, tears streaming down my shoulders.
"Don't cry, it must be an illusion." I comforted her briefly.
"It's true, it's true, from the Arabian desert to Outer Mongolia, from the Far East to Western Europe, I really didn't think that there were more than 700 people under my gun, including all colors and nationalities...... Iraqis, Afghans, Indians, Egyptians, Russians...... From now on, I will put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha...... All his life, he recited sutras, fasted and recited Buddha, and atoned for his sins......" said the spearmaid.
I could not continue to persuade her, for she had fallen into deep self-reproach and sorrow.
Of course, all this was caused by Zuo Fengshou, who used illusion to create some kind of scene that inspired the spearmaid to repent. She is a killer, and since she no longer has the courage to kill, she has really become a waste.
After climbing over the mountain beam and walking for a while, I finally met the answering people from Luopan Village.
I gave them the spearmaidens and arranged for them to send them back to the stone tower.
At this moment, my heart is full of all kinds of confusion, and I have to walk alone for a long time, without any external interference, think deeply, and answer my questions.
Instead of heading due north, I followed a path northeast and finally stopped at the top of a golden sand dune.
To the east, the minaret roofs of Crescent Springs are clearly visible, and the laughter of tourists drifts in the wind.
Tourists are always carefree, unleashing their enthusiasm in the vast desert.
"Why can't I ever be like them, uncared, laughing, dissolute, unrestrained? When will the burden on my heart and the burden on my shoulders be completely lifted? If Zuo Fengshou can really bring me some valuable clues related to my life experience, can I let go of this problem? I clutched my chest and asked myself silently.
I came to Dunhuang to trace the origins and find some kind of connection between my birth experience and the rebound of the pipa diagram, so as to confirm my true identity.
I once imagined that when I achieved this goal, I would retire to the rivers and lakes safely, no longer show my face, and become a hermit of peace who reads, writes, watches flowers and raises birds, and completely gives up my former identity as a "dragon boy in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island".
Originally, I thought that the goal was far away, but now overnight, it has been infinitely close to the goal.
"Is Zuo Fengshou credible? If I don't reveal his identity, will he take advantage of the situation to fight back and wipe out the Snow Bodhisattva and the Great Demon Hand in the stone tower? As Baoyu said, detonate * and blow up the high-level of the Yellow Flower Society into powder? "I'm a little worried.
A gust of wind passes, and the sand grains up and down from far and near swish, which is the sound of "Dunhuang Singing Sand" that is most sought after by foreign tourists.
I lay down on the sand, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, and sleepiness gradually set in.
"I can't sleep here, I can't sleep here...... "Although I had this awareness in my head, I couldn't resist the surging sleepiness, and finally closed my eyes and fell asleep.
This sleep, safe and dreamless, my mind was blank, neither the trouble of the mirage battle, nor the Yellow Flower Society, the Northern Emperor, and the Japanese ninja entangled in the tragic battle.
It's been a long time since I've fallen asleep like this, and when I wake up, I feel like I've returned to my most innocent childhood, with no distractions, just growing up freely with sunshine, rain and dew, and flowers.
I don't know when the night came, the neon flickering on the side of the crescent spring town, reflecting half the sky is full of brilliance, and even the clouds in the night sky are inlaid with a layer of colorful lace.
For some reason, my heart became extremely empty, as if I thought of everything, but also seemed to have forgotten everything, between heaven and earth, there was nothing and it was full.
"This is Dunhuang, not Hong Kong Island." I whispered to myself.
Once on the rooftop of the Mandarin Hotel, I was drunk and lying among the flowers, looking up at the twinkling stars and overlooking Victoria Harbour. At that time, I was a young man, leading a group of brothers to laugh proudly in Causeway Bay, the name of "Long Shao" resounded all over Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and friends in the rivers and lakes saw it, no matter how old or young, they had to respectfully call "Long Shao".
Everyone in the Perak Hall knew that Lei Dongtian admired me, and even thought that I would be the head of the different surname after Lei Dongtian, replacing Lei Hongjun, Lei Xiaolong, Lei Jun, Lei Cai, Lei Xing, Lei Ting and others among the four generations of Lei disciples, and overwhelmed the crowd and took charge of the Perak Hall.
At that time, I never knew sorrow or worry, I just felt that the future was bright and went straight to the peak of life.
It seemed like one such night, when a strange thought popped into my head: "Who am I?" Where is my home? Where is my family? ”
After I was twelve years old, I didn't think about this problem again, I just buried my head and rushed forward, fought in a fierce battle, opened up widely, and became the first fierce general under Lei Dongtian. The warmth in my heart has long since frozen, and I no longer think about the troubled questions.
When I started thinking about "who am I?", it was the day when I lost touch with the great cause of Perak Tong's expansion. So, in front of everyone, I returned the bronze medal representing the master of Causeway Bay to Lei Dongtian, and left calmly, without any nostalgia.
Since then, there has been one less "dragon boy" in Causeway Bay, and only the heroic legend of Long Shao leading seven brothers to fight in the Tseung Kwan O cemetery to kill the Perak Tong traitor Lei Jiutu is left. Dunhuang in the north has one more taciturn painter, and the turmoil in the rivers and lakes has nothing to do with me anymore.
"How wonderful, those young years ......" I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Dreamy empty flowers, all are hailel in the forest; After getting drunk, he always thinks of lovesickness. "Someone whispered around me.
I shuddered, because it was the voice of Zuo Fengshou.
"Don't worry, I have no ill will." He said leisurely.
"Tracked here, and said there was no malice?" I asked indifferently.
When I woke up in the middle of the night, I felt quite cool, but I resisted the idea of buttoning my chest, and just lay down calmly. However, there was a bone-chilling chill from Zuo Fengshou's side, which caused a thin layer of goosebumps to grow on my arms.
"Yuan Shen Gu." He only said three words.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"I found the Yuan Shen Gu in your body—from the Great Demon Hand? Hehe, you tried your best for the Yellow Flower Society, but in exchange for only a conspiracy behind your back. I can't stand it, so I will catch up and remind it. He said.
I didn't get angry because of his words, I couldn't resist what the Snow Bodhisattva and the Great Demon Hand wanted to do to me, after all, the Stone Pagoda and Compass Village were the core territory of the Yellow Flower Society.
"The Great Demon Hand is a ruthless person, notorious in Miao Jiang, and finally was killed by the elders of Gu Miao 36 Village, fled to the United States, attached to the Pentagon, and later became a special commissioner of the 51 region, and finally took the position in the Huanghua Society, with a higher status than the Snow Bodhisattva. Now, Gu Miao Thirty-six Village is gradually declining, and she can no longer be able to chase and kill the big demon, so she can only let her be free. She was a terrible person, very ambitious, cruel in temperament, and any enemy who fell into her hands died a miserable death. Mr. Long, as soon as I noticed that she had fallen on you, I knew that we could form an alliance of life and death, and we must join forces to deal with her in order to protect ourselves. Zuo Fengshou said.
I wasn't moved at all, my hands behind my head and I looked up at the sky.
