Chapter 44: His Clues
Walking into the golden light, I felt that the light stimulation was not so strong, and I should be able to open my eyes and see things. I tried to open my eyes, and I found that several women suddenly appeared in front of me, I don't know if they were waiting for me here or suddenly appeared, although they were all dressed less, but their solemn demeanor made people have no desire, it was not that they were not beautiful, all of them had beautiful eyebrows, slender figures, crystal jade bodies, flowing dresses, or pinched flowers, or held a pipa, anyway, they didn't look like mortal women.
Ay? This image doesn't look like something unclean, but like a ...... Is it Feitian? Flying...... Shouldn't that be on a mural?
I counted carefully, and there were eight on the left and eight on the right, and there were exactly sixteen. I thought to myself, how does this number sound familiar? I couldn't think about it, I realized that since I came in, my whole thinking has slowed down, and my spirit is also in a trance, and I tried to clear myself up, but it was in vain.
When I saw them, I didn't hear anyone call my name anymore, I guess they were just shouting, how did these flying beings run out of the mural, and still know my name? More and more questions left me more and more confused.
After just staring at each other for a few seconds, I only felt that my body had become much lighter, and I had a feeling of weightlessness in the elevator, and suddenly my feet were off the ground, and when I reacted, I realized that I had already flown very high.
I looked at the auspicious clouds under my feet and the ground far away, although I was a little frightened, but fortunately, the flight was relatively smooth and there was no danger. The flying heavens flew in front to lead the way, and the ribbons of their dresses fluttered in the wind, so beautiful, I followed them behind, listening to the solemn music all the way, and the petals that fell from time to time flew over and landed on my face.
I was in a trance, I don't know how long I flew in the golden light, how high I flew, until I was taken to a clear and bright place by the flying heavens, and I saw that there seemed to be a lot of people in front of me.
I took a closer look, and in the most conspicuous place, which is also the most central position of the whole venue, there is a person with a canopy on his head, dressed in a robe through his shoulders, sitting on his knees, and the posture of his hands is making a special Buddhist seal, and his back seems to be emitting golden light, which looks very majestic and solemn. I've seen this meeting, but I've been working here for a while, and many of the murals are like this, so it seems that a monk should be lecturing to others? I just stood there and listened for a while, but I couldn't hear anything, because I didn't know much about these sutras.
I looked around, and no one seemed to notice my arrival, everyone was doing their own thing, and there were seven or eight people standing on the left and right sides of the man, some holding transparent bowls with their hands, some with their hands folded, all with serious expressions, as if they were listening attentively, and they looked like they were understanding.
There are still many people standing around, men, women and children, dressed differently, some like Hu people, while some look like Han people, and some are like people in Buddhism, and they are all very serious.
And those who had just brought me to the heavens had already flown above the preacher at this time, stepping on auspicious clouds, some were constantly scattering colorful petals, some were plucking the jade pipa in their arms, some were chasing each other, and some were still dancing wantonly, and I was even more trance for a while.
And just as I quietly eased up and scanned the crowd again, I found a man looking at me, and when we looked at each other, I felt a very strange feeling, and before I could think clearly, my barely turning brain subconsciously directed me to walk towards him, maybe because he was the only one who noticed my existence, why did I come here, how could I get out, maybe I had to ask him?
I said I was walking, but I didn't know whether I walked past or floated past, anyway, it didn't take a few steps to get to him, and I couldn't even see his face clearly, only that I knew that it was indeed a man.
I wanted to say something, but my mind was like a blank sheet of paper, and I couldn't even speak, just stared at him. The man stared at me as well, and he spoke first, "You're here?"
I tried to answer, but I couldn't speak.
He continued, "It's quite like. You're not too young, go back early to find a living and take good care of your mother. Also, you remember, be sure to stay away from people with the surname Xiao. ”
Then he turned his head and listened to the man's preaching, and paid no more attention to me. I was confused when I heard it, and I just felt that these words were imprinted in my mind like the ringing of a bell. I don't know what's going on with my mouth, I want to ask but I can't speak, I'm so anxious that I want to go crazy.
However, it seemed that in an instant, everything in front of me disappeared, and my mind cleared up and my mind returned to normal. I found that there was nothing around, but it was pitch black, so I quickly turned on the oil lamp, and by the light I found myself in the grotto, and in front of me was a mural...... Did Maitreya say the Fatu!
What struck me was that the scene in this painting was so similar to what I had just seen.
No, wasn't I just outside the door, how did I get in? Alas? What the man said just now was...... What's going on?
Even though I had some doubts, but I knew that this place was not suitable for a long time, I felt in my pocket, and found that the key was still on my body, I breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately this kind of iron door can also be opened from the inside, otherwise it would be lively, not only can I not take over the shift, I am afraid that I will have to wait until tomorrow daylight, shouting for help, and I can't explain how I was locked inside.
I quickly opened the iron door and slipped out, taking a breath of fresh air. It's still dark, which means that I haven't experienced too much time just now, and I hope I don't miss the handover.
On the way back to the dormitory, I tried to remember what I had just experienced, and decided that the most important thing was the man, and I wanted to recall his appearance, but I couldn't remember it at all. But I remembered what the man said just now, and the first one was okay, and kept me away from the person surnamed Xiao? I thought about it carefully, and among the people I know, there is only one with the surname Xiao.
Does this mean let me guard against Xiao Fang? I feel very inexplicable, she a girl can take me? Wrong! She is not an ordinary girl, and her family is not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, I'm a little scared, is it possible, is she really?
No, no, no, I can't doubt the person I like because of a man I don't know and who appears strangely, right? Could it be that the "person surnamed Xiao" has someone else, is this a prophecy?
When I came back to the dormitory, I couldn't sleep in bed, and I couldn't figure out whether these were real or fake, real or hallucinatory.
After thinking about it for a while, I came up with a way to verify it - ask the janitor on shift. I knew that my actions would be seen by the janitor.
He sat there every night and had nothing to do, so he could only watch the patrolling people relieve his boredom, and I wanted to find out what was going on in between, so I had to find a way to do it.
I've lived so big, and I also know a truth, if you find someone to do something, as long as you do what you like, things will be easy to do. So the next afternoon, I estimated that he got up, so I went to the commissary to buy two packs of good cigarettes, and went straight to Uncle Qian, who was on duty that night.
As soon as I entered the door, Uncle Qian was sitting smoking and reading a book to relieve his boredom, and when he saw me coming, he asked me, "Are you a new young man?" What's the matter? ”
I didn't plan to take too many detours, so I just smiled and took out two packs of cigarettes, stuffed them into his hands, and said while stuffing them: "Uncle Qian, I want to ask you something, see if you can make it convenient."
He also pretended to be a little prevaricated, but he quickly put the cigarette in his pocket, and the old smoker could refuse this? I knew there was a door as soon as I saw it. He asked me, "Oh? What do you ask? ”
I said in my heart that I can't let you know, in case I see that something is wrong, it will be troublesome to say it, I don't know if you have a loose mouth or a strict mouth. I had an idea, pretending to be embarrassed and said to him, "Just last night, when I was on duty, did you see me walking?" I accidentally dropped something, I just slept and forgot where it fell. ”
Uncle Qian thought for a while: "You kid is really careless. Ahem, I want to think about it, well, I saw you go up, and no one else is on duty to go up. ”
I asked Uncle Qian with a smile on my face, and quickly asked, "Oh? Then you help me remember what you saw? ”
Uncle Qian said, "I saw you, the cat went to the dark, and then turned on the oil lamp and went up the stairs, and the turtle acted like a thief." ”
I smiled awkwardly, "Didn't I go up on patrol?" ”
"Ah yes, you're pretty fast, you seem to have gone up into a hole, and you came out in a few seconds. Where did you go? ”
A few seconds? It's not at all the same as the length of time I've been through, I don't know how long I've been in it, but at least, I've flown for a while, I've listened to the scriptures for a while, and I've talked to people, and I can't be so fast. Although I didn't think it would be long when I came out, I didn't expect it to be so fast. In other words, the time of the place I went to was different from ours.
I was dealing with Uncle Qian and thinking about it.
I felt a chill in my back, so it seemed that the hallway didn't show up at all? And I actually disappeared out of thin air? How do you explain it, is it entering another space?
I feel like my brain is going to explode, how do you explain this kind of thing? Who is that strange man? What did he mean by that?
