Chapter 17 Encountering Ghosts in the Bamboo Forest
After Master left, I lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, my mind was confused, and I always felt that this old man was weird today.
First laughing at my peeking at "The Secret Art of Lotu", then asking me to understand the book as well, and finally lifting the box with a rage, all of this haunted me like an invisible ghost.
At this time, my brain was like a paste messed up by a nail, I got up and lit the lamp in a daze, blew him brighter, put on my coat and sat down on the couch, and picked up the ancient parchment book "The Secret Art of Lotu".
The book is very thick, and it may not take me to memorize it completely, and I showed a calm patience and read it bit by bit.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep, and when I opened my sleepy eyes, it was already a lot of darkness outside, and the rooster didn't know how many times it had crowed. I couldn't help but pat my head, it looks like I'm going to be late for this morning's class again.
I broke through the door in a panic, and was about to rush towards the Sanqing Hall in a galloping posture, when suddenly there was a burst of laughter in my ears, as if there were several people having a picnic party together.
I don't understand, how can someone come to the mountain for a picnic at this time, not to mention that this is a Taoist temple, not a scenic spot and a tourist attraction, and you can't go up the mountain without permission.
"Who could it be, hmph, wait for me to investigate!"
I couldn't hold back my thoughts about this adventure, and I tiptoed in the direction of the sound, my house was surrounded by bamboo forests, not very dense, but it took a lot of effort to get through.
The further he walked, the clearer the things in front of him became, and when he came to a place with the best sight, he quietly squatted down, brushed aside the bamboo that was in the way, and Han Shou looked forward like a sneaky fragrance.
I saw a few people dressed as Taoist priests chatting at the waterfall flowing down the mountain stream, there were five people in total, one carrying a wine jug, now I already know, this Taoist temple except the master, no one is allowed to drink, why are these people so rampant.
And looking at his body and face, he doesn't look like a disciple here at all. I only heard one of them say: "Since the little brother is here, why are you sneaking around, why don't you show up and see it?" ”
I was a little embarrassed and a little puzzled, how did these people find out about me, could it be that they bombed me like my master? No, I'll have to hide for a while.
As soon as this idea came to him, the man said, "Don't hide, I know that you are hiding behind the bamboo forest, and you don't care about your head, don't show up quickly, peeping is not a good habit!" ”
Well, if they say so, they must have seen me, I patted the dirt on my pants, jumped forward, and stepped on a clearing.
There is no bamboo, not even a single grass, and compared to the dense bamboo forest next to it, it seems to be a boundary between the world and the world.
I stepped forward, clenched my fists, and said.
"I've seen a few Taoist friends, it's not that the little brother is impolite, I passed by above, I heard a few laughs, I thought it was a villain, so I came to take a look, please forgive me for the offense."
These people were very young, probably not a few years older than me, and one of them had a feather fan in his hand, looking at the waterfall and shaking gracefully, ignoring me.
The youngest of them gave me a salute and said.
"It's okay, it's okay, we all belong to Taoism, and we don't have to be restrained."
I smiled and nodded, and another tall man accosted me and asked.
"I don't know the name of the little brother?"
"The little brother's name is Ji Wulin."
"In Xia Gequan, there is courtesy."
Then no one was talking to me, but a few of them started chatting, and at this moment I somehow threw all my thoughts about going to class out of the clouds and listened to them intently.
Several people are facing the waterfall, and their words reveal some sadness.
"Xiao Wu, thank you for covering that arrow for me back then, but unfortunately, my brother was incompetent and couldn't bring them out."
That person named Xiao Wu is the person who gave me a gift just now, and he blocked an arrow? At this moment, I thought of Lu Fan again, the person who gave his life for me because of a promise, sighed secretly, and continued to listen to them.
"Second brother, we have done our best, this matter has been going on for decades, why bother to mention it again?"
Ge Quan, who had just signed up for himself, also interjected at this time,
"Good, second brother, although we are dead, but the eldest brother is still alive, this is a blessing in misfortune."
The more I listened, the more confused I became, what do you mean though we are dead?
Could it be that these "people"... Thinking of this, my brain buzzed, and the cool air came up along the soles of my feet, and the sweat instantly soaked my whole body, and I unconsciously took two steps back.
Damn, it's really a hell of a daylight, if you don't die this time, you have to let Master take a good look at your fortune!
I stumbled and alarmed them, and the man named Second Brother smiled at me,
"Hehe, little brother, don't panic, we have no malicious intent, not to mention that I just said that I was from the same family as you, how could it hurt you. But..."
I wanted to ask nothing, but when I opened my mouth, I realized that I couldn't make a sound at all!
The stiffness seemed to be pointed, the second brother slowly walked towards me, seeing that his expression was indeed not hostile, and my heart gradually fell, only to see him bend down and squat down beside me.
At this moment of squatting, the heart that was originally put down immediately rose to the throat!
My whole body was blown up, so I was scared to death all of a sudden! There's a huge hole in the top of his brain! There are no brains in the head, but there are a lot of white reptiles like maggots!
I was so young that I didn't feel anything unusual when I was standing on their chests, and when they came towards me, I realized that each of them had fatal wounds!
The one called Xiao Wu.,I didn't see anything just now.,Take a closer look at it now.,Oh.,It turns out that his head and body are misaligned.,I said why was his fist-hugging posture so weird just now.,It's with the back of the back facing me!
The guy named Ge Quan was even more weird, and with a gust of wind, it lifted his clothes. There was a large hole in his chest that ran through his heart, estimated to be the size of a bowl! It was densely packed with white maggots. And the whole body only has ordinary meat, and the other half is completely a bone frame.
Good guy, I fell into the ghost nest, it seems that today is more than lucky, even if you get lucky, you will have to be sick for a few days!
As the saying goes, people are scary, they are scared to death. These people are estimated to have died before they died, and somehow, I feel some wetness in my lower body, don't laugh, if you see this scene, it is estimated that it is not as good as me.
The man called the second brother picked up the wine bottle he was drinking, pulled off the cork and approached me little by little, "Little brother, don't be nervous, just drink saliva and wine." ”
I don't know how many times I've been kissed by this ghost, and I still let me drink it! I struggled to get up! But I couldn't do it anyway, my eyes were scarlet, and I stared at him deadly.
At this moment, I also figured it out, stretching out my head and stabbing my head, shrinking my head is also a knife, and it's all death anyway! Why do you have to be like Wang Ba!
In the end, the man succeeded, the mouth of the bottle pressed tightly to my mouth, and the unknown liquid in the pot slowly entered my throat and flowed into my abdomen.
Strange to say, this thing tastes good, some like wine and a little like water, and I'm like a donkey who hasn't drunk water for a long time, and I drink it all uncontrollably.
Xiao Wu saw my appearance, sighed, and said.
"Alas, this son's bones are amazing, Yin Tang is faintly blackened, and there is a trace of black gas around his body, I am afraid that he will be the same as us in the future."
Suddenly I felt that my body could move, the second brother was very kind to stretch out his hand to me, I was not as scared as I was just now, the ghost wine was also drunk, and the people in the same way also recognized it, even if they were ghosts, it was a big deal, and they were happy.
I grabbed him by the wrist and hissed... It was cold, cold, and the coldness that penetrated into my bone marrow in an instant made me shiver.
I stood up, let go of him, and asked.
"Dare to ask all of you how you died?"
The second brother smiled mysteriously and said to me, "Hehehe, you will know later, but today I ask you for one thing." ”
...... "I don't know what to answer, and it's not a good thing to say yes or not." But I heard him continue,
"If you meet a man named Ingot in the future, remember to tell him that he still owes us a promise. Hahahaha. After that, several people looked at each other and smiled, turned around and ran towards the waterfall, reached the edge of the cliff, and jumped without hesitation!
I jumped down in a daze, and I hurried to the edge of the cliff to look down, but there was nothing but the waterfall pouring like a pillar.
I secretly wrote down the name of the ingot, and suddenly thought that the class had already started at this time, and if I didn't go back, it was estimated that the master would play the board in a while.
Anyway, a few of them are already ghosts, and they can't die, and they can't die anymore. Simply ignore them for the time being.
I figured out this joint, so I turned around and ran back, holding on to the two thin bamboos, and jumped over the place where I was peeping just now, but what I didn't expect was that the wetland that was obviously full of green bamboos just now turned into an abyss!!
I screamed wildly, like a drop of rain falling from the sky, and resolutely fell downward.
PS: Maybe the ink is written a little, but these are the key factors for the protagonist to rob the tomb, readers, please bear with me, about the question of the dialogue in classical Chinese, I mainly want to bring out the sense of the times if it is not appropriate, and slowly change it in the future. Wu Lin thank you!
