Chapter 82: One Monk and One Monk
"Hey, Master, look, there seems to be someone in the water."
"Eh, really, I just don't know if I'm alive or not? Ah Guang, go down and have a look! ”
"Ah, go down? My master said that there are water ghosts in this river, and I ...... I don't dare. ”
"Your master also said that there are vixens in the town who turn into beautiful women and seduce people, why don't you be afraid? Don't be verbose, go down and have a look......"
Suddenly, I heard such a conversation, and my mind went blank, and the bones in my body seemed to fall apart, and my whole body was washed by the running water.
I wanted to open my eyes, but I couldn't, and the little consciousness I had just recovered was quickly dissipating, and just before I could lose consciousness again, I felt like I was being pulled out of the water, and I heard the young voice shouting, "Master, he's still alive......"
That was the last sound I heard, and then I passed out again.
I had a long series of dreams, very chaotic and very fragmented, but these fragments of dreams were always interspersed with a hazy figure, which gave me a sense of déjà vu, but until I woke up from the dream, I could not see the true face of the figure.
Within ten seconds of opening my eyes, my mind was full of the shadow in the dream, and I couldn't think, so I stared blankly at the tiles on the top of the beam, and when I reacted, I sat up suddenly.
Because the movement was so violent, my hand propped up to the bed, and suddenly a burning pain came into my mind, and I screamed in pain, and I realized that my right hand was wrapped in gauze, and it was obvious that I was not lightly injured.
Surprised, I looked around and found myself in a Japanese-style wooden house, and I couldn't help but wonder. At this moment, a hurried footstep sounded outside the wooden house, and from far and near, it seemed that someone was rushing this way.
As the footsteps approached, the door of the room was opened, and a voice came in first: "What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, the man also walked in, and I saw the true face of the other party, this is a young man of the same age as me.
He was very strong, at least much stronger than me, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his face looked very honest and honest, but his bony eyes betrayed him, and my first impression of this man was that he was a simple and honest man in appearance.
"Haha, you're awake?" Seeing that I was fine, he smiled and greeted.
I smiled politely back at him and asked, "Hello, what is this place?" ”
"Oh, this is Tianguan Town, we found you in the nearby river two days ago, when you were seriously injured and in a coma, I rescued you, by the way, my name is Ah Guang, what about you?"
Hearing him say that, I remembered what happened before I fell unconscious.
The Taoist priest and I finally reached the end of the burial valley after going through hardships and countless lightning strikes, but after leaving the exit, the two of us fell off the cliff and fell into the turbulent river, under the impact of the water, I was hit on the head by the rocks in the river, and then fainted, and I didn't know anything after that.
After recalling the previous incident, I immediately said gratefully: "My name is Zhang Ziyi, you can also call me a reporter, thank you so much, if you hadn't saved me, I might have drowned!" ”
The young man named Ah Guang grinned, patted me on the shoulder, and said with a nonchalant expression: "Reporter, you are too polite, helping the needy, saving the dead and helping the wounded, this is the great wish of our cultivators, my master often teaches me like this, not to mention that you are also a fellow Daoist, brother, how can you see death and not save it?" ”
I was very surprised, not because he thought I was a Taoist priest, but because he was a Taoist priest himself, so I asked, "Brother Ah Guang is also a foreigner?" ”
Ah Guang touched his head, smiled, and said, "I picked it up by the master, and he hasn't officially accepted me as an apprentice, but I think I'm also half a Taoist, hehe!"
I nodded, Ah Guang was very talkative, he was very interested in me, and I was also very curious about where I was, so the two people who had just met were like old friends who had known each other for decades, and they chatted for more than half an hour.
From Ah Guangna, I probably knew where I was at the moment, and the river at the end of the burial valley actually washed me out of Shennongjia and rushed to an extremely remote boundary in Xiangxi, where the distance between the two places was more than 200 kilometers.
It sounds incredible, I can't imagine that I have drifted so far down the river without realizing it, and miraculously not drowned, I have to say that it is a miracle.
Ah Guang told me that his master had settled here with him ten years ago, in the suburbs, about twenty miles from the nearest town, Tianguan Town, and that there were only two families living here, one of which was for him and his master, and the other was opposite them, a monk who lived alone.
As soon as I heard it, I was immediately a little happy, a monk, a Taoist priest, living opposite each other, how does this sound so similar to a very classic movie?
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but ask jokingly: "Ah Guang, your master shouldn't know how to drive out corpses, right?" ”
My question was a whim, not really wanted to ask, but who thought that Ah Guang replied seriously: "Of course, within a radius of three hundred miles, who doesn't know my master's ability, his old man's skill of driving corpses is famous far and wide, those high-ranking officials and nobles have jobs but they are looking for my master, no, the master just took over a big job half a month ago, and it is estimated that he can earn a lot, calculate the time, and it is almost time to come back." ”
When he said this, his expression was quite proud, but I was stunned, and I said no, how could there be such a coincidence, isn't the bridge in the movie groundless? But well-founded?
But how is this possible? Although I have witnessed Yan Wudao driving away corpses, but I am staying in the ancient town more than a hundred years ago, in today's era, how can such an unbelievable thing still exist? And listening to Ah Guang's meaning, this deal to drive out the corpse is still above board, and it is not hidden at all, if this is the case, I am afraid that the news and newspapers will be all over the sky long ago.
Although I doubted it, it didn't look like Ah Guang was bragging, and the pride and pride in his expression were definitely from the heart, and it couldn't be faked.
I calmed down for a while, and then asked, "Ah Guang, let me ask you something, when you rescued me, did you find anyone else nearby?" ”
"Someone else? No, you're the only one, what? Is there anyone else who has fallen overboard like you? Ah Guang asked with a puzzled face. Sanjiu Chinese Network
I sighed and told him that I did have a friend who had also fallen into the water, but I didn't know where he had been washed up and wanted your help to find it nearby.
When Ah Guang heard this, he immediately patted his chest and said that it was no problem, this is a trivial matter, and then asked me how I became what I am now?
It is related to the secret village of Xianmiao and the burial mountain, I am inconvenient to disclose, only to say that when we went out to play, we accidentally fell into the river and were washed by the river all the way, so we arrived here.
After I finished speaking, Ah Guang looked at me in surprise, I said no, did he hear that I was lying?
I was about to explain, but he grinned and patted me, telling me to rest and find someone on him.
With that, he pulled up the door and left.
After Ah Guang left, I didn't have the heart to continue sleeping, I really didn't expect that the end of the burial valley led to the cliff, why didn't the witch tell us this?
Did she not know, or did she do it on purpose?
There is also a strange place, that is, before parting with us, the shrine maiden specially told me that I must pass through the Burial Valley, for I cannot think of any necessity for this, except for the thunder and lightning that are more dangerous and the second half of the Burial Valley has no effect on me at all.
This series of doubts made me have to doubt the witch's intentions, and at the same time, I was a little worried about the doctors and others who were still in Miao Village.
They didn't know we'd come out, and if I kept waiting inside and I couldn't go back without a point, it would be a bit of a fuck.
In addition to these worries, the whereabouts of the Taoist priest also made me quite worried, when he passed through the burial valley, his situation was not as good as mine, after falling into the river, he must also be more than lucky, in case he is not as lucky as me, I really have to feel guilty for the rest of my life.
The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, and it was impossible to rest, so I checked the injuries on my body a little and found that they had basically healed, and it seemed that my self-healing ability had played a role, but the situation on my right arm was not very optimistic, and it seemed that the injury on my right arm was still a little special.
Naturally, I wouldn't be stupid enough to remove the gauze, the clothes on my body had already been scratched by the reef in the drift, and they were worse than beggars, but Ah Guang had already prepared a set of clothes at the bedside, and I changed them, and found that this dress was a bit retro, like a modified folk dress in the late Qing Dynasty, which was very distinctive, and I felt quite a bit of taste after wearing it.
I have seen this kind of clothes worn by the elders in the family, and generally older people like this style the most, it seems that Ah Guang gave me his master's clothes.
After changing my clothes, I opened the door and walked over, outside is the living room, its interior decoration is very simple, a few rattan chairs, a wooden table, an incense case, an offering table, there are three gods enshrined on the table, I can't tell these gods, I don't know which gods are enshrined, I looked at it casually, and walked straight out.
After coming outside, I found that the suburbs of the town that Ah Guang said were actually barren mountains and mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and two wooden houses stood alone on the plain of a mountain pass.
I stood outside, looking around, and suddenly I felt that the picture in front of me was very familiar, it was clearly the mountain pass plain that I saw in my dream, and the two wooden houses on the plain......
Oh my God, it turns out that the mountain pass is not the entrance to the burial valley, but the mountain pass in front of me, the fragments of the picture in the dream have become reality, are those fragments all prophecies, and I am now experiencing the scenes in the fragments one by one?
I couldn't understand what was going on, could it be that there really was a prophet in this world.
"Amitabha, the donor is full of doubts, but is he confused?"
Just as I was thinking, a Buddha horn suddenly rang in my ears, waking me up from my contemplation.
I hurriedly looked up, only to see a kind old monk who had come to me at some point, he was wearing an old earth-colored monk's robe, holding a prayer bead, with slender white eyebrows, full of an indescribable Zen rhyme, giving people an unfathomable feeling.
I have felt the same feeling in Yuqing and Yuxu Zhenren in Maoshan, but the old monk in front of him is more advanced and profound than them, and he is obviously not a simple character.
I folded my hands, saluted the old monk back, and then said: "The master's eyes are like torches, I did encounter some confusion, by the way, I would like to thank the master for saving his life." ”
The old monk smiled faintly and said: "No, it is Ah Guang who saves the donor, not Lao Gao, the donor should not thank the wrong object, this cause and effect, Lao Gao can't afford it!" ”
Listening to the old monk's words, I couldn't help muttering in my heart, saying that this old monk looks unfathomable, like a master, how can he talk to the clouds and mountains and fog, and even the cause and effect are pulled out.
He didn't accept it, and I didn't say anything more, so I changed the subject and asked, "Master, Ah Guang didn't introduce you to me, I don't know what you always call you?" ”
"Amitabha, the old man's name is Yuantong, the name is just a symbol, what is it, it's all the same, the donor can do whatever he wants!"
When I heard this, I almost didn't burst out laughing, and I said in my heart that this old monk shouldn't have done it on purpose, right? Knowing that there is a Yuantong, he will be called Yuantong, what is the matter?
I couldn't hold back a smile and politely introduced myself, I don't know why, this old monk Yuantong was also very interested in me like Ah Guang, but the monk probably didn't like to ask people about their privacy in person, so he just vaguely expressed his interest in my origin in the conversation with me.
Naturally, I couldn't tell him the truth, although it was a bit unauthentic to lie to the monks, but it was about the burial mountain and Miao Village, and I didn't know the origin of this old monk at all, so I told him what I told Ah Guang again.
After hearing this, the old monk didn't have any special reaction, just looked at me with a smile, and after reciting Amitabha, he stopped speaking.
At this time, Ah Guang came out of the reeds behind the house, and when he saw me standing with the old monk Yuantong, he was a little stunned, but he quickly reacted, walked to our side, and said to me breathlessly: "Brother reporter, I have already found out that I have gone to ten miles upstream, and there will be no one further inside. ”
I saw that he was tired and sweating profusely, and I felt a little reluctant to go, so I told him that I would go with him later, and Master Yuantong, after hearing what had happened, also said that he would go with us to find it.
