He Qingyou wondered: "What's going on, how can there be dead birds?" ”

Yuantong looked around, the depths of the woods were quiet and uninhabited, and the sun was shining quietly in the sky. He said slowly: "There are masters who come first. ”

He put the arrows in his coat, and then pressed the pestle to the base of the tree's roots, and buried it in the earth.

"Whether it's a superior or not, you'll know when you get to the next position." YTO said.

We followed him out of the grove, up the winding road, and then into a forest. He Qingyou was a little unbearable, tired and panting, and sweaty.

After walking a short distance, we came to a clearing.

This clearing is very strange, there are no weeds around, and the area of about one square meter is full of stones. The sun was a little poisonous, Yuantong was wearing such a thick monk's robe, and there was no sweat on his head, so he came to the open space and looked for it carefully. It didn't take long, beckoning us to come and see.

A few of us walked over and saw a black thing in the center of the clearing, in the middle of a pile of stones, in a very inconspicuous place.

The round hand grabbed the tail of the object, and with a force, the ground around it loosened, and the thing was pulled out little by little, and it turned out to be a long arrow feather. Reflecting the dazzling sunlight, I saw that in the middle of this arrow, there was still a word "solution" engraved.

Chen Meiyu said softly: "There are indeed masters who have been here before us. ”

I was a little worried: "Are we too reckless, since there are high-ranking people who have set up the formation, we shouldn't touch it again." ”

I suddenly thought a little bit of who it was, with the word "solution" engraved on it, could it be the solution bell? Jieling is also a master.

Yuantong shook his head: "Master Lin, if the formation here is still effective, then you won't be aware of the yin in the reservoir at all, and you won't be able to find this place accurately." Understood, this formation has been invalid for too long. Otherwise, with the vast yin qi of this place, how could it be unnoticed. ”

Chen Meiyu asked, "How long have you been watching?" ”

Yuantong took the arrow feather and looked at it carefully, pondered for a moment, and said, "The formation should be more than twenty years. ”

As soon as he said that, I ruled out the bell. I met him by chance on the subway, and he was no more than twenty years old. Twenty years ago, he was still wearing open crotch pants, how could it be that he clothed it.

We followed Yuantong through the mountains and went to six places, and all of them found the arrow feathers that had been arranged earlier. Yuantong cleared them one by one and replaced them with his own magic weapon to subdue the magic pestle.

More than an hour has passed since he looked at his watch, He Qingyou was so tired that his clothes were soaked, and his legs seemed to be filled with lead, but he didn't dare not follow.

"Everyone insists on insisting," the circular channel: "There is still one last position left, and we can go into the water by replacing it with a large array of demon descending pestles." ”

He Qingyou reluctantly said, okay, then so be it, and then insist on it.

A few of us walked in the woods, there was no road here at all, it was all up to Yuantong to open the road in front, Chen Meiyu was panting lightly in the back, my physical strength trained by Huang Teng was good, and the worst was He Qingyou, every step was like pulling a bellows.

Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, we saw at a glance something different below, a large field of barren grass, several tree stumps in a circle, each stump is connected by a rough rope, at first glance it is man-made.

Yuantong hurriedly went down, we followed, and when we arrived at the stump, Yuantong walked around twice, pointed to the inside and said, "The master set up the formation, and it was really good." ”

In the middle of this circle of stumps, seven or eight large stones were piled together, and each stone was connected to the outer stakes by thick hemp rope.

"W-what is this?" He Qingyou forgot to be tired and said in surprise.

Round Channel: "Master, master!" This array is called the Ten Directions Suppression Evil Law, and if you count them carefully, there are a total of ten big stones in it. He gestured for us to stay outside. He propped up the stake with both hands and jumped in, quite agile.

He hurried over to the ten stones, tore them off, and took out a slender feather from them.

Yuantong put the last arrow feather in his bag, then took out the demon pestle, and was about to pierce it in this position. He froze and reached into the stone, as if there was something else there.

He actually pulled out a cowhide envelope from the pile of stones, which was sealed with red paint.

Yuantong was such a bold man that he tore off the seal and poured out a letter from it. The letter unfolded, and he looked at us with his back to us.

I was itching outside, and hurriedly shouted, "What is it, take it out and look at it?" ”

Yuantong walked over and handed us the letter: "Read it for yourself." ”

A few of us approached, and there was only one sentence written on the letter: "In the past 30 years of wind and rain, waking up from a big dream is a yellow sorghum." Last night, the flowers were beautiful, and today's grievances have turned into dragons. If you have the fate of the Fa, if you rearrange the formation, remember that there are not only seven formation eyes here, but also an eighth formation eye under the water. ”

After reading this sentence, several of us looked at each other.

"Miu, what do you think?" I asked.

Chen Meiyu said: "This letter should be left by the previous spellcaster, judging from the words, he seems to be very helpless, I can't read the specific meaning." But the meaning of the last sentence is clear, and there is an eighth array under the water. Yuantong, what do you say? ”

Yuantong buried the demon pestle, walked out of the formation, and accepted the letter: "I knew we could go into the water." ”

He Qingyou said cautiously: "Master Yuantong, can you give me this letter, I like to collect such strange objects." ”

"You're a collector?" Yuantong glanced at him.

He Qingyou hurriedly nodded: "I am actually a collector, and I have spent tens of millions of dollars to buy a bowl in the Song Dynasty before. I also bought a house in the suburbs, which is full of collected objects, and I have the opportunity to invite you to visit. Can this be given to me? Don't worry, Master Yuantong, I spent money to buy it, and I didn't ask for it in vain. I donated incense money to the Temple of Mercy. ”

Yuantong looked at him: "The collection is good, but you have to be cautious when collecting strange things, and be careful that it is not good for you." ”

He Qingyou grinned: "Look at what you said." ”

Yuandao: "Don't mention this matter, I want to take this letter back to my master for review." ”

He Qingyou was still a little unwilling: "I see that the 'dragon' was mentioned in the letter just now, what is going on?" ”

Yuantong and Chen Meiyu looked at each other, and Yuandao: "Meiyu, you tell him." ”

Chen Meiyu looked at He Qingyou's disgust, snorted twice, and didn't bother to answer at all.

Yuantong looked at me, and I shrugged my shoulders and said I didn't know.

Yuantong had no choice but to say: "Boss He, in an ancient saying, the dragon was born of gas, and I don't know the mystery. The meaning of the letter is that there is a beautiful woman, that is, a woman, who was fine yesterday, but today suddenly accumulated resentment and turned into a dragon. ”

He Qingyou hurriedly asked: "Does it mean that this dragon is hidden in that water, and the yin qi that you masters see is it?" ”

I listened to it and wondered, why did there be another dragon? How is this situation similar to the situation in the bardo realm?

I was suddenly in a trance, looking up at the blue sky, the dazzling sunlight, and the silence of the mountains and forests without sound. I had a very unbelievable thought, could I still be in the bardo realm and not come out?

Could that dragon be a metaphorical refraction of some kind of demon in someone's heart?

I patted myself on the cheek.

Chen Meiyu and Yuantong looked over. I was a little embarrassed, I didn't want my behavior to be too nonsensical, so I quickly said what I just thought.

The two of them didn't have much reaction, Chen Meiyu said: "Lin Cong, you have this question, which means that you have a heart for the Dao." ”

"How?" I asked.

Chen Meiyu said: "Sentient beings ask themselves 'who am I' in ignorance, this is enlightenment. And being able to ask 'where' and 'where to go' is to give birth to the Tao mind. No one can answer this answer to you, and many prophets have asked this question, but none of them have answered. You can only find it with your own Dao heart and feel the truth and falsehood of the world. ”

"I see." I nodded.

"A dragon is a dragon, what a metaphor comes from, it's ridiculous." He Qingyou doesn't understand anything, and he is spraying nonsense here.

Yuantong was strange: "I said Boss He, are you looking for your own son, or are you looking for a dragon?" ”

He Qingyou hurriedly smiled: "Looking for a son to find a son, I'm embarrassed." ”

When we returned to the convoy, YTO told a few professional divers that we could now go into the water.

A member of the diving team, who should be the leader of everyone, said: "Is this mission to find the bones of a child underwater?" ”

"Yes." Yuantong nodded.

The leader shook his head: "After you left just now, my brother and I surveyed it, and the water depth is at least twenty meters, and there is likely to be an undercurrent below." It is very difficult for a child to drown in it for at least twenty years. Boss He, you have to be mentally prepared, you may not be able to find it. ”

Yuantong asked, "What is the name of this benefactor?" ”

"Why is the word 'donor' so awkward," the leader said, "My surname is Zhang, and I must be older than you, so the little master can call me Brother Zhang." ”

"Brother Zhang is like this," Yuantong said, "How many sets of diving tools do you have now?" ”

"There are a total of four sets of wetsuits and peripheral equipment," Brother Zhang said: "My team is exactly four people, working in shifts of two and two, so this is the biggest ......."

Yuantong interrupted him: "Brother Zhang, you are the best skilled here, right?" ”

He laughed: "Don't dare to be, little master, just say anything directly." ”

"Don't go into the water with your three men, replace them with the three of us." Yuantong pointed to himself, and then pointed to me and He Qingyou.
