Chapter 183: Rupture
The inner room was emptied, leaving only me, Li Damin and Zishan Daochang, as well as the half-dead old man Fan who was still breathing on the bed.
Li Damin closed the door and locked it. Zishan Dao sat firmly on the sofa, threw his coat aside, squinted his eyes and ordered, "Turn off the lights too." β
"Well, listen to you." Li Damin slid his wheelchair to the wall and turned off the lights in the room.
In the darkness, two ever-bright lamps were lit, and Zishan Daoist put the ever-bright lamp at the head of the bed and the other at the end of the bed, shining on Old Man Fan.
The old man was already half-dead, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and he looked very strange in the dim light.
Daoist Zishan looked at us and suddenly arched his hand.
Li Damin hurriedly said: "Yo, what is this about." β
"We are all people in the Daofa," Zishan said kindly, "Doing the same thing in the same room is fate, you say, right?" β
Of course. Li Damin and I spoke in unison.
Daoist Zishan looked at us: "Xiao Li, Xiao Lin, there is no life and death grudge between us, right?" β
"That's not the case." Li Damin said with a smile.
"I don't owe you any money, do I?" Zishan Dao asked.
Li Damin said sincerely: "Dao Chief, our brothers were taught by Teacher Huang Tenghuang, they are not ignorant people, and they have their own sense of proportion when walking the rivers and lakes. If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, as long as we don't conflict with each other, we will pass with each hand. β
Zishan Daoist nodded: "Okay!" Both of them are sensible people, and their words are clear. I won't hide it from the two of you, tonight I will go to the yin, enter the realm of the bardo of Old Man Fan, help him pass the test, and return to the yang. β
"What do you need us to do?" Li Damin remained silent.
Daoist Zishan looked at us and said slowly, "You don't need to do anything. After I enter the yin, I don't even need you to protect my body, you rest quietly for the night, and tomorrow morning I will naturally take the old man back to the yang. When the time comes, you two just wait for the money. This time, I didn't tell lies in front of real people, I asked for a total of 800,000 yuan, and after the money arrived, the three of us shared it equally. β
Li Damin smiled: "You mean, we don't have to do anything this night, we will earn money the next day when we lie down and sleep, and we will pay hundreds of thousands, right?" β
"That's what it means," said Zishan Daoist, "Isn't everyone just asking for money." Wealth is good for people, and other things are none of their business, and it is better to know less. β
Li Damin muttered: "This deal is simply too cost-effective, it is difficult to find in the sky and difficult to find on the ground, and hundreds of thousands of dollars will be obtained after just sleeping, tsk." β
I coughed a few times, to be honest, if this kind of business is a common encounter, I can be happy to bubble my nose, but now it is a matter of my mother's safety, not money can measure. Not to mention hundreds of thousands, hundreds of millions are impossible.
Li Damin looked at me, laughed and said to Zishan Daoist: "Daoist, I'm really sorry, my brother doesn't want to, let's not talk about this matter." β
Zishan Daochang's face changed greatly, and he slapped his palm on the table, how big is this man, with a palm, the table of the hotel is covered with thick glass, and it is actually cracked, cracked but not broken, and the palm power is amazing.
The Taoist chief was really angry, and yelled at people to deceive people too much, what do you want to do, just say it!
Li Damin grinned: "The Taoist is a master, don't be angry, you are so heart-wrenching, we will also say something from our hearts." Lin Cong and I need to go to the yin and enter the bardo realm of Old Man Fan, but please rest assured, it will definitely not interfere with you, we have another purpose. β
Zishan Dao squinted his eyes and asked slowly, "What if you and I have a conflicting purpose?" β
"That can't be," I said first: "Daoist, you are here to save Old Man Fan, we have no grievances with him, and we can't harm him." It's better if you can save him, the three of us, hello, I'm hello, everyone, we entered the bardo realm to do something else. β
Zishan Taoist asked, what is the matter?
Li Damin smiled: "This, I really can't say it for a while." β
Zishan Dao Chang was silent for a moment, "Since that's the case, there's nothing to talk about." We have all entered the realm of bardo, each doing its own thing, whether we can do it depends on our ability, if you and I have conflicting purposes......"
"Then the strength will decide." Li Damin retracted his smile and said lightly, with a murderous intent hidden in his tone.
Zishan Daoist looked at us, didn't speak for a long time, and touched the sporadic beard on his chin, "Okay, each according to his ability." β
That's it for the time being, the talks haven't been negotiated, and the fight can't be started, so let's talk about how to get in.
Zishan Dao Chang sat on the left side of the bed, and we sat on the right side of the bed, using the bed as a dividing line, naturally separating the two camps.
The Dao Leader took off the Dao crown and put it aside, revealing his hair in a bun, he still looked a little like a fairy wind Dao bone. The biggest characteristic of this person is that he can be soft and hard, can bend and be arrogant, and he will reason with you, and if he doesn't talk properly, he will immediately change his face, but he will be direct and simple.
He crossed Erlang's legs and shook his robe, "My seniority is older than you, so let you be advanced." He pointed to the old man on the bed.
Now Old Man Fan has become a battlefield for our fighting methods, and we don't know what will happen when we enter the realm of bardo.
I whispered to Li Damin, let's go in. Li Damin glared at me, does that mean you are stupid?
He smiled and said to Zishan Dao Chang, "It's better for Dao Chang to come first." β
Zishan Daoist shook his head: "You don't even have this trust, you push me, I push yours, don't do anything this night." β
"The Tao is benevolent and righteous, and the seniority is above us, so you should come first." Li Damin is humble.
Zishan Daochang's face was expressionless, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was contempt, he shook his robe and stood up, came to the side of the bed and meditated cross-legged, his hands folded on his knees in the shape of a lotus. In the faint flickering lights, he entered a state of concentration, motionless like a sculpture.
"What happened just now, why didn't we go first?" I asked.
Li Damin glared at me, and then glanced at the Taoist chief with his eyes, which means that you can be careful when you speak.
I think he is not angry, reluctant, and impatient: "The chief of humanity has entered, what are you afraid of, how can you act like a thief?" β
"Lin Cong, Lin Cong," Li Damin sighed: "You said how long have you been with me, no matter how stupid people have been taught, why can't you teach it?" β
I'm so angry, he thinks he is who. I was impatient to let him tell him what was going on, and he was not open at all.
"This has something to do with whether you are bright or not," Li Damin scolded: "I find that your values are simply ridiculously naΓ―ve." β
I was annoyed, "What are you talking about?!" β
"Now," Li Damin's tone softened: "We are in competition with the Taoist chief, and we must have the intention of harming others, but we must also have the heart of guarding against others." If we go in first, and the physical body stays here, and the Taoist leader makes some trouble and makes some trouble, and does something to you and me, what will we do then? β
I sneered: "Do you think everyone is like you, the Taoist is the Taoist, you are you, the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman." β
Li Damin felt completely speechless, and looked at me in a daze, "Lin Cong, really, I want to scold you." I'm doing something for you right now, can you listen to me and don't turn your elbows out. β
I don't know what's wrong, this moment suddenly erupted, and all the accumulated grievances came out, "Okay, Li Damin, I'll make a deal with you!" Tell me that in order to accumulate energy, you killed so many people, and you were such a hard and upright man in the fifteen people, you can do it, are you confused by greed? Don't think I don't know how Chu Qiang fell off the cliff, you went over in advance, and you have already made a move, right? Chu Qiang later knocked you out and snatched the computer, I think he did the right thing! You have no bottom line in doing things. β
Li Damin looked at me as if he didn't know me, "Where are you going to go." Didn't we say okay, don't we talk about things there? β
"Our ideas don't agree, and our three views don't agree." I shook my head.
"Then what are you looking for me for, you can go to your mother yourself." Li Damin's face was angry, and he was spinning around in a wheelchair.
"Yes, I found the wrong one." I nodded: "You go, I'll go into the bardo realm to find the dragon by myself." β
Li Damin rowed around in a wheelchair twice, and when he arrived at the door, he turned back to look at me and asked word by word: We are about to break up, right?
"We're still friends, we just won't be able to work together in the future." I responded resolutely.
"What kind of friend is it if you can't work together, a friend of wine and meat?" The corners of Li Damin's mouth rose with a wry smile.
"You have your practice, I have my life, there is no need to be tied together." I say.
Li Damin looked at me, and then at the head of Zishan Dao, and sighed heavily: "Lin Cong, you have your values, you have your pursuits, and I respect you." At the end of this mission, we parted ways, and this was the last time we worked together. In this way, I won't go into the bardo realm with you, you go by yourself and try to do it yourself. I can't go, we'll all be dressed up when we get out of this door, and we'll all have to leave tomorrow morning. Since I can't leave, I'll stay and guard your body. β
When he said that, I felt a little uncomfortable. Li Damin and I lived and died, after so many experiences to the present, even if we don't agree with the concept, we won't tear our faces and even be friends, and what I said just now is really too heavy.
Silent, I walked over and patted him on the shoulder.
"If I can get the dragon's reverse scales, I will trouble you to summon Meng Po." I say.
Li Damin nodded and looked at me, the emotion in his eyes could not be described.
