Early the next morning, in order to catch up with the crowd who went to worship in the morning, the song group got up early, Qin Yundui knocked on the door of the members, and when they got home, they were still wrapped in a warm quilt, and they were really too lazy to come out of it.

The morning in the north is really too cold, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. Everyone opened their sleepy eyes and got out of bed with difficulty.

After a while, Qin Yunwan heard a noise downstairs, Qin Yunwan leaned on the railing and looked down, only to see a little girl downstairs pulling Xiaoluo to meditate.

"Let's go, Xiao Luo, what a hard opportunity, why don't you go?" Xiao Luo's classmates seemed to be urging her.

"No, no, I have something urgent," Xiao Luo kept shirking.

"What a pity, how often does it take your turn?"

"I really have something, I'm inconvenient, you guys go quickly. ”

"This kind of thing is really not good to replace someone else, I can't do it for you!"

At this time, Qin Yunwan saw that the proprietress also came out of the door, and after understanding, it turned out that in the meditation place, everyone would take turns to recite prayers, this time it was Xiao Luo's turn, but Xiao Luo happened to have something, so Xiao Luo asked his classmates to read it for him. However, the classmate still felt that it was not very good, after all, it was a prayer, and this kind of thing was better not to be for others, so he came over and called Xiaoluo, if it was not something important, just push it off first.

"You were fine yesterday, why did you suddenly have an accident?" said the proprietress "I see you're not sick, Luo'er, reciting prayers is a sacred thing, don't look for someone else to do it for you, go quickly." ”

Her mother was also urging Xiao Luo to go over, but Xiao Luo couldn't shirk it anymore, so she had to reluctantly agree.

It just so happened that Qin Yunwan and the others were also ready, and they followed Xiao Luo and her classmates.

"Xiaoluo?" Yu Fei called out to her from behind.

"Ah, it's you," Xiao Luo looked a little embarrassed, after all, she had already told the Youge group yesterday that today was not over, "There were some urgent matters yesterday, I thought I couldn't get over, but I thought about it today." ”

At this time, Xiao Luo's classmates said next to him, "On this day every week, the priests will randomly select a few people to go up and recite the prayer, and this time Xiao Luo happened to be selected, which is an honor. ”

"Well, okay. Xiao Luo smiled awkwardly.

"Xiaoluo, have you written your prayer?" the classmate asked.

"Well," Xiao Luo pulled out a piece of paper in her pocket, and wrote a few lines on it.

"Is it that short?"

"Hmm...," Xiao Luo nodded.

In short, Xiao Luo's expression was a little strange all the way, if she just went up to recite a prayer, it wouldn't be difficult, I don't know why she was so resistant.

In this way, everyone didn't say anything along the way, and just went up the mountain with the flow of people. The mountain road is not difficult to walk, perhaps because there are more people walking, and the places passed through are relatively flat. And the further you go, the lower the temperature on the mountain, and even the appearance of frost, if it is really winter, I am afraid that there will already be snow here.

It seemed to have arrived, and the crowd in front began to gather.

Looking at the past, everyone is not amazed, no wonder this place is called Xiaoqing Pond, it turns out that there are many hot springs here, the spring water is clear, emitting white smoke, if you soak in the hot spring at this time, I don't know how comfortable it should be.

"What a beautiful place," said Feng Xuan, "this kind of spring in the high mountains should be the clearest." ”

"Yes," said Yu Fei, "I can't imagine that there is such a view here, no wonder I pray here, this place is like a fairyland, and because of the spring water, it does not seem so cold." ”

After a while, the flow of people began to move again, and it seemed that the time had come, and everyone was gathering in the same place.

"Heh," Zou Yin sighed, "it's a cave." I saw everyone walk into a large cave, in this cave, there is still the existence of hot springs, although it is bare, only rocks and springs, but it looks very mysterious, and unexpectedly, this hole is particularly large, and the passage is also several, if you don't follow the crowd, I'm afraid you will feel that you have entered the labyrinth, but the lights are placed everywhere in this cave, and the whole is quite bright.

Walking along the passage, everyone saw that there were a lot of bamboo lizards climbing on the wall of this cave, and the people who went inside were obviously very unconcerned, after all, they had long been accustomed to the existence of these bamboo lizards, but Qin Yunwan and the others were a little unaccustomed, after all, the cave was full of such big insects, which made people have goosebumps.

"This is basically a gathering place for bamboo lizards," Xiao Luo's classmates seemed to see everyone's mood, "Don't be afraid, they are very docile animals." ”

"Hmm," Qin Yunwan replied.

"It's warm in this cave, and there's a hot spring, so it's no wonder that these bamboo lizards choose to gather here. Yu Fei said.

Finally, we arrived at a relatively open place, where the ground was a little irregular, but the view was very open. The crowd began to stop here, and then sat down very organized, facing in the same direction, looking at a relative high ground.

"Xiaoluo, you still have to say a prayer, let's sit forward. ”

"No, no, just sit here. ”

In a relatively remote position, Xiao Luo sat down with Qin Yunwan and the others.

After a while, under everyone's anticipation, several people dressed in brown appeared, with masks on their faces, which seemed to be the sacrifice of organizing prayers.

I saw one of them take out a transparent box and put it on a high platform, and inside the box was a very bright stone.

"It should be that," Yu Fei touched Qin Yunwan with her arm, and Qin Yunwan nodded. I saw that the stone was fluorescent, and in the dim cave, the stone shone brightly.

With a few simple opening words from the priests, it seemed as if the prayer ceremony had begun, and everyone sat upright, their eyes looking at the same place.

Then a little girl went up, it was a little girl who was younger than Lo, and she went to the table, and with one hand she stretched out and put it on top of the glass box, and with the other hand she was holding this piece of paper, on which should have a prayer written on it. A priest next to her hung a small ornament on her neckline, presumably something like a microphone.

"Great gods / Thank you for giving us light / Give us insight / Thank you for giving us warmth / Let us resist the cold..."

The little girl was a long year old, and although this prayer was not very literate, it was written sincerely, and the little girl read it sincerely. All the hands were on their chests, and all eyes fell on the little girl. Qin Yunwan and the others also studied everyone, crossing their hands in front of their chests.

At this time, Yin Ning found that Xiao Luo next to him seemed to be trembling.

Yin Ning turned her head slightly, and she found that Xiao Luo's forehead was flowing with huge beads of sweat, which ran down her cheeks, and her body was shaking more and more.

Yin Ning hurriedly signaled to his teammates next to him, Qin Yundui saw that Xiao Luo was indeed a little abnormal, and he immediately thought of the bamboo lizard.

"Isn't this just that uncomfortable feeling?" Qin Yunwan thought to himself, but he looked at the bamboo lizards on the cave wall, all the bamboo lizards were crawling aimlessly, not like they were staring at anyone at all, and even if they were staring at people, they wouldn't just stare at Xiao Luo.

When the first man had finished reading the prayer, the priest opened the glass box, and the fluorescent light of the stone seemed to overflow, and it was very beautiful, and he kissed the little girl on the stone, and then walked off the stage, and then it was the second man's turn to go up.

Yin Ning couldn't help it, and touched Xiao Luo with her hand, Xiao Luo was frightened, and then held Yin Ning like she had found a life-saving benefactor, "Sister, you, you help me go up and read," and then stuffed the paper with the prayer into Yin Ning's hand.

"How can this be done," Yin Ning naturally disagreed, showing an embarrassed expression to his teammates. But everyone was quietly watching the people above praying, and Yin Ning didn't dare to make a big noise.

In this way, the second man also finished praying and kissed the stone.

"It's your turn, go up. Xiao Luo's classmates began to urge him, but Xiao Luo kept pushing Yin Ning with her hands.

The third prayer man did not go up for a long time, and the very quiet crowd began to bustle. As a last resort, Yin Ning had no choice but to raise his butt and walk up hard. Wang Yuehan in the back laughed out loud, "It's really funny, Yin Ning's trip is worth it, this is a personal experience of local customs and culture." ”

Yin Ning walked up to the stage, the other people's expressions were the same, looking at Yin Ning on the stage with a peaceful gaze, Yin Ning opened the paper with his hand, and the childish font on it was writing prayers. Yin Ning found that her hands were a little trembling, she looked down the stage, all eyes converged on him and the same person, and her heart began to pound, she grew so big, there had never been so many people staring at her.

A priest hung a microphone-like trinket-like ornament on Yin Ning's collar, and Yin Ning began to recite prayers.

Yin Ning read it carefully, although he was a little nervous, he slowly got better, the year was very sincere, this prayer was not written for long, it was over soon, and Yin Ning was also relieved.

Then, the priest opened the glass box, and Yin Ning leaned over and kissed the stone gently, following the example of the person before. When his lips left the stone, Yin Ning couldn't help but sigh, "What a beautiful hanging li." ”

After speaking, Yin Ning realized that his microphone had not been taken off, although the voice was very small, a small number of people still heard it, but they didn't know what she was talking about. And the teammates and the priests who had been paying attention to her heard it clearly.

Yin Ning stepped down from the stage and was about to go back, but was stopped by a priest who took her to the stone passage behind.

Next came the meditation time, where all the people had their eyes closed and their lips squirming, as if praying for something. However, Qin Yunwan and the others never closed their eyes, but stared at the passage deadly.

After a while, Qin Yunwan stood up, "No, I have to go and see." As soon as he stood up, Qin Yunwan found that Yin Ning was back, and his expression was a little strange.

Yin Ning returned to her position, and her teammates hurriedly whispered to her what happened, and Yin Ning motioned for everyone to cooperate with meditation first and go out.

After a long time, the meditation ended. The priest motioned for everyone to go back, and everyone walked out of the cave in an orderly manner, and the teammates hurriedly gathered around Yin Ning.

"Yin Ning, I didn't hear what you said after kissing the stone," Zou Yin asked.

"I said, at that time, Hang Li," Yin Ning said.

"Hanging Li, a type of stone?" asked Yu Fei.

"Yes," Yin Ning said, "I am a spirit of stones, and I am more sensitive to this kind of thing than anyone else, plus I have studied all kinds of stones before, and I will never admit that it is Hanging Li, or rather, it is a kind of night pearl." ”

"Night Pearl?" Qin Yundui asked, "In this way, it is indeed a precious stone, but it is not a magic weapon. ”

"Yes," Yin Ning looked around at no one and continued.

"Later, a priest pulled me into the back passage, and he asked me who I was, and I told him I was a traveler. He said I might have been mistaken, and that it was their supreme treasure. But how could I be mistaken? No one knows stone better than I do, so I insist, it's a pearl of the night. ”

"Later, the priest saw that I was resolute and told me the truth," Yin Ning put his head in front of everyone, "Actually, their real treasure was lost." ”
