One hundred and thirty-three chapters
I took it out and saw that it was the old book I had brought down from the old man's house, and I put it in my bag when I cleaned it up in the morning, and the three books were still well pressed in the middle of a large pile of textbooks.
Anyway, being idle is idle, and it is better to learn while the enthusiasm for learning is not extinguished.
Looking at the big black coffin on the cover and full of anticipation, I just wanted to open a good book, but Xiao Hei suddenly walked over, he seemed to have been woken up by me, and saw me take out the old book yawning and lighting a cigarette and sat aside.
"What are you doing? Do you still have to study in the middle of the night? ”
I didn't mention Yu Li's matter, scratched my head and laughed: "I can't sleep, I just have a few good extracurricular books I want to read"
Xiao Hei was interested in hearing that I was reading extracurricular books in the middle of the night, and after asking for my permission, he picked up one and began to read it.
Through the light of the fireworks, I noticed that Xiao Hei's face seemed to be a little strange, his eyes were no longer as distracted as just now, but became a little deep and messy, and even his expression began to gradually become solemn.
"You book...... Where did it come from? ”
Hei closed the book and lit another cigarette.
I thought about finding a random reason to fool around, but the pair of eyes saw that Xiao Hei was so serious and serious, and he hesitated again and again to tell the truth.
Xiao Hei's face became even more ugly when he heard Wu Shan and the old man, and his lifeless face always made me think that he was taboo about something.
"Do you know what books these are?"
Xiao Hei asked me in a very weighty tone, I shook my head, and then he said: "This is the first and second volumes, it is a strange book and a forbidden book, not just a simple extracurricular book as you imagined."
I hurriedly took out the middle volume and put it in front of Xiao Hei, "The upper and lower volumes? Shouldn't it be the upper, middle and lower volumes, did you miss one? ”
Xiao Hei suddenly began to take a deep breath, his hands trembled slightly, and he took the book from my hand, he opened the book in front of me with a look of anticriss, and read it carefully, but he quickly put down the book with a lost eye and had no intention of reading it again.
"There are indeed three volumes of this volume.,It's just that no one seems to have seen this middle volume.,So there's not much to mention in the rumors.,Later, everyone simply ignored the abbreviated upper and lower volumes.。 It's strange that the old man gave you all of them......"
I can't forget the chaotic look in Xiao Hei's eyes when he read the book just now, and I always feel that he found something different in the book. Ignoring his speculation, he hurriedly asked, "Then did you find anything?" What is the difference between this mysterious and rare middle book and the other two? ”
Xiao Hei sighed and said: "The biggest difference in this middle book is that it is not full of words, it is full of blank paper, and I can't see anything......
I hurriedly picked up the middle book in front of me and opened it: "How is it possible! Isn't it densely covered with small print? Take a good look at it, don't be sleepy and hazy in the middle of the night, right? After saying that, I turned on the flashlight and handed it to Xiao Hei in front of the small print on the book.
Xiao Hei didn't take it, and shook his head with a smile: "I really didn't see a word, I don't lie to you"
It's weird...... Wang Qiu also said that he read this book like reading blank paper, there is nothing, I thought he was pretending to be a ghost, but I didn't expect Xiao Hei to see it? Then it's clear how I look at it! This is nothing more than a little smaller, a little denser and cumbersome writing, how can you not see anything!
I picked up the middle book and kept turning the pages, trying to find a blank page of paper to try to comfort myself, but I turned it three times but still found nothing. Is there something wrong with my eyes again?
"Book of Heaven and Book of Heaven, that is what only heaven and man can see, it seems that you are a chosen one" Xiao Hei squeezed out a smile and moved, this is more like a reasonable explanation.
"No kidding, tell me why?"
I didn't have time to listen to Hei's jokes, so I handed him all the books.
Xiao Hei lit a cigarette for me to calm down, and put the book in his hand and read it carefully.
"It's a pity that I can really only explain your question with that joke. I can't understand the things written in the first and second volumes, but I can't read a word in the middle volume, and for me, it's just a pile of blank paper......"
I picked up the middle book and began to read it, every page was very small, and there was not a single illustration in the whole book. It's like my pre-exam review notes, which are densely packed together, and even the other two books may not add up to half of the words in this middle book.
Xiao Hei smoked a cigarette and looked at the coffin on the book, and suddenly asked me, "Zhang Lone...... Do you feel like looking at the coffin on the cover of this book now? ”
I hurriedly picked up the two books and looked at the comparison carefully, for fear that the coffin would change its appearance and run away with long horns. I picked up another one and started to compare, there was still no change, I shook my head and said to Xiao Hei no, and now I don't feel anything in my mind except for the constant repetition of the word coffin.
Xiao Hei suddenly took a hard puff of cigarette and said: "This feeling is that you know that this is a rough painting, but as long as you keep staring at him, you will always feel as if there is a person lying in this coffin......"
This sudden whimsy made my back a little hairy, and I gasped and said: "Don't think about it in the middle of the night, it's panicked, you should quickly tell me what the book is coming from."
Xiao Hei picked up the book, glanced at it, put it aside, turned his head to me and said: "It's all about what people say, and the specifics can't be verified, so you should listen to a story." These three books are all strange books, and the content in them is different. This book is a blessed book, and rumors say that learning this book can not only keep you rich and prosperous for a long time, but also give others fortune-telling guidance. It's like a fortune teller with a cheat book, allowing you to control the heavens and turn evil into good fortune. ”
Little Black smiled at me as he said this, and I looked at him and understood. is still the same sentence, "weighing the pros and cons can't escape the proportional trade-off", this book should not be as perfect as he described.
Xiao Hei nodded at me and continued, "You guessed right, everything is bad. Most of the people who study this book have a miserable life, and they must live a life away from their families and live alone, so that the future generations of the family will be blessed and prosperous, and even if they die, no one can take care of the aftermath. If you have great ability, you can only work hard for yourself and benefit others. ”
"It's good to turn evil into good fortune, but it's too miserable to be lonely and away from your relatives for a lifetime! I don't even have a person who is going to die in retirement, and this book has no chance of being a big seller" I picked up the first volume and shook my head, I still have to leave the matter of sacrificing myself to others, I don't have the courage.
Xiao Hei picked up the next volume and continued to explain: "This next volume is completely different, although it also has the common point of fortune-telling and familiar feng shui with the previous volume, but he is still very different from the previous volume, rumors and legends that most of the teachings in this volume are the ability to help themselves persecute others, and even ask for other people's lives in the air, almost all of them are sinister tricks of witch spells and curses in vain, and it can also be said that this next volume is a book of demons and monsters, if you learn this next volume of spells, then this village will respect you." ”
"Then this next volume is so insidious, what is the price?"
Xiao Hei smiled: "It's very simple, people who learn this book can't have a future, otherwise they will suffer retribution, and after learning the next volume, they may be backlashed, and they will become unscrupulous, not like people, ghosts, and ghosts." Most of the people who study this second volume are blind and lame and other disabilities, and they are not fully considered. Do you think about it, the fortune teller at the entrance of the village is not a blind and lame man? Have you ever seen that strong guy do this? ”
Xiao Hei's expression became a little cold after speaking, and he looked at me directly, and I suddenly felt that the atmosphere became a little weird when it came to the next volume, and hurriedly stuffed a cigarette into his mouth.
Xiao Hei lit a cigarette and frowned: "I also have to add that these two books are extremely complicated and difficult for ordinary people to understand, and they often live to learn all the time, so this just explains that those fortune tellers are often old guys and few young people."
I think about it carefully, it's really a truth, from childhood to adulthood, I saw that those feng shui fortune tellers are almost all old people, and they all have some disabilities, especially the blind, those blind people in the village where the status of the uncle and aunt can be very high, what they say is more effective than the doctor, with paper money burned into ashes soaked in water to cure all kinds of diseases, Wang Qiu also drank when he was a child, it is simply nonsense. It seems to me that this is the aftermath of ignorance caused by the lack of culture, but if you think about it from another angle, if it weren't for the fact that these things worked once or twice, they wouldn't have survived until now.
"It seems that neither of these two books is a good book, but what about this middle book?"
Xiao Hei paused, and after thinking for a moment, his expression became more mysterious.
"This middle volume is amazing.,I've heard people talk about it very little.,It seems to mean that this middle book is not visible to ordinary people.,Rumors say that this middle book is depicting a kind of practice of how to cultivate into an immortal.,It's not very practical."
I nodded, these three books are not very practical, are they good, where is it so mysterious and immortal? It's okay to learn not to return to the West, and want to rest immortals? It's a pipe dream.
"Although the story is bizarre, there are always people who tell it, and maybe some of them are really useful. These three books may sell for a good price in the village, and more people believe in them. My dad alone has a large group of friends, and if I hadn't been a little taboo about this thing, I'd let you borrow me and bring it back to him for a long time."
"Forget it, where is there such a strange thing in the world, so to say that these three books are not a good thing, or we will ...... tonight"
I pretended to look at Xiao Hei mysteriously, and Xiao Hei also looked at me with understanding and asked seriously, "Aren't you going to take a good look at it again?" ”
I smiled with a firm face without hesitation, curiosity kills the cat I know better than anyone else, now I finally solved some of the confusion, I am full and throw myself into the abyss.
"Either we're going to burn these books tonight, I don't want to touch these anyway. And lest those who are not right-minded see what you think? ”
Xiao Hei always felt a little regretful, but after my repeated persuasion, he finally compromised and nodded in agreement.
When we walked to the balcony, he looked at the burning book in his hand and sighed: "I didn't expect this strange book to end up like this, and my father couldn't have imagined that he would be burned by the two of us."
"Heaven rewards hard work after all, there will be achievements, and opportunism will not last long!" Laughing and sighing, I threw the almost burned next volume in my hand into the garbage.
He picked up the book and left it in the house. I went back and picked up the lighter and just wanted to light it, but the lighter ran out of gas, and Xiao Hei's matches were just used up.
"Leave a little flame and burn the book together"
I whispered, but Blackie only cared about stepping on the flames under his feet, and by the time he reacted, the flames had been extinguished, and the book had become a pile of paper ashes.
Xiao Hei looked at me and waved his hand and said, "Anyway, only you can see the words in that middle book, and you can't read it for others, so you should be a souvenir."
As if it made sense, I nodded in agreement and walked back with the book. Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei immediately took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.
"Let me remind you again, you can't understand all three of these books, if you learn them all, you will become a monster, and the old man will definitely feel that injustice will definitely blame you. This middle book is considered the most mysterious, so keep it. Maybe I can solve some weird puzzles for you in the future, so you can keep it, I won't tell anyone else."
After listening to Xiao Hei's tirade and taking the cigarette he handed me, I always felt weird, this guy seemed to have deliberately asked me to keep this book, I don't understand what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd, could it be that he really wants me to practice immortal arts and become an immortal?
Suddenly remembered what Xiao Hei said before, those two books will pay the same price or even worse, so what will be the price of this middle book? Does he really not know? Looking at Blackie's eyes that came and went in the darkness of the firelight, I suddenly had a strong premonition that Blackie was lying, and that he was deliberately hiding something important from me......
