I stood in the courtyard of the temple and turned off my flashlight. There was silence all around, and I didn't dare to make a mistake, so I cleared my throat and dared to say, "Is there anyone there?" The juniors came to visit. ”

After shouting twice, only to hear a "squeak", the corner door on the side of the inner hall opened, and a Taoist boy walked out. He was about the same age as me, in his twenties, with beautiful eyes, and wore a dusty robe.

I've lived in a metropolis all my life, and I rarely enter temples and Taoist temples, and I've never seen a real monk or Taoist, but now I suddenly see such a person, and I feel like I've traveled through a certain movie, and I feel that everything is so unreal.

Daotong stepped out of the threshold, stood at the corner gate, pinched a strange fingerprint on his chest with his right hand, bowed slightly to me to show respect, and said, "This donor, my master has an invitation." ”

I wiped the cold sweat from my head and stepped across the courtyard to the front. Dao Tong made a side gesture and motioned for me to enter through the corner door.

I said politely, "What do you call the little master?" ”

Dao Tong pointed to the crescent-shaped sign on the front of the Taoist robe: "The small road number is light moon." Donor, please. ”

It turned out that his name was Qingyue. I calmed down, got dressed, and entered through the corner gate, with Kazuki following behind.

Entering the apse, the area is not large, cleaned up, opposite is an old table as a shrine, the main seat is enshrined a person, this person sits cross-legged, slightly closed eyes, looks not very old.

I walked over and bowed to this person: "The seniors are above, and the juniors have taken the liberty to come and offend." ”

Qingyue laughed in the back: "That's not my master." It is a deity enshrined in the main hall. ”

I was shocked, it's really strange here, the shrine is not a clay fetus wood sculpture, but a real person.

The inner hall was quiet, and the person on the throne had a smile on his face, with eyes in his eyes, as if he was meditating. On either side of him are the yellow curtains that fall to the ground, and the top plaque reads three words: Point of No Return.

On both sides of the curtain are ancient wooden pillars, hanging a couplet, the upper couplet is: forget joy, forget sorrow, forget love, forget hatred. The next link is: nameless, surnameless, silent.

The atmosphere in the main hall was eerie, and there was a strong uneasiness in the silence.

Qingyue said loudly, "Master, the guests are here. ”

As soon as the voice fell, a man came out from behind the curtain. I was stunned when I saw it, it was the middle-aged man I met in the elevator. He is mediocre in appearance, has no eye-catching, and belongs to the character that cannot be found if he falls into the crowd.

Now he is wearing a Taoist robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and his face is neither happy nor sad, which is really a bit of a superior demeanor.

Since I was a child, my father told me a lot of strange people and things I encountered when I went out to explore, and he warned me that in the future, no matter who I meet, politeness is the first, otherwise I will offend people if I don't know.

I hurriedly bowed to the middle-aged man: "Hello Master! ”

He came to help me, suddenly grabbed my wrist, and broke it so hard that I was too painful to scream. It turned out that he was looking at the bracelet on my wrist.

"Who gave this to you?" He asked.

"A friend of mine is named Wang Yue." I say.

"Yin Difference Wang Yue?" He asked.

I quickly nodded.

He let go of my hand: "You can find here, it's fate." I warned you not to be too curious, not to be nosy, but you're here anyway. ”

"Master, I'm here in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't have ventured in." I hastened to explain.

The man turned around and instructed Qingyue to bring three futons.

The light moon went down, and it didn't take long to bring three futons over, put them on the ground, and the three of us sat down in the shape of the word "product".

I observed these two Taoist priests sitting in a very formal posture with their feet crossed over their knees. I learned from them to do this, but I couldn't do it at all, my feet were so hard that it hurt to break them lightly.

The middle-aged man said: "Just sit down." This is our Taoist practice of sitting, called the two-foot prostration. ”

When he saw me sitting down, he asked, "Tell me, where did you come from, and what are you doing?" ”

I didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and told about the experience of this time. The middle-aged man and the apprentice Qingyue listened quietly and didn't interject, and then I said that my mouth was full of foam, so I saved a lot of details and gave an overview.

The middle-aged man nodded: "I see." ”

I cautiously said, "Take the liberty of asking, you are ......"

"Yes, I'm Ma Danlong." The middle-aged man said: "You came to find the upper volume of the Yin classics, you can be regarded as right, it is indeed here with me." ”

Listening to his tone, he didn't seem to reject me. I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hopefully, "Can you ......?"

"Can you read this first volume, it depends on your personal fate," Ma Danlong interrupted me: "I won't stop you." ”

My throat moved, and it didn't seem so easy to hear what he meant. What is the method of relying on fate, what is the fate of the law, and how much is it worth.

Ma Danlong pointed to the real person enshrined on the throne and said, "Have you seen this person?" ”

I let out an "ah" and said I saw it.

Ma Danlong said word by word: "The Yin text you are looking for is this person." ”

"What?!" I was stunned when I heard this, thinking that I had donkey hair stuffed in my ears, but I didn't understand for a while, so I picked my ears vigorously: "Master, what did you say?" ”

A smile appeared on Ma Danlong's face: "The first volume of the Yin text is indeed in my hands, many people have come to look for me, I tell them that I will not stop you from looking for this upper volume, but whether you can find it or not depends on fate." The first book you are looking for is this person on the throne of God. ”

I said, "I didn't understand, I thought it was a book......

Ma Danlong interrupted me: "The person you see in front of you, his real name is Liu Yang, he has a strange background, someone entrusted me to take care of it a long time ago, and the specific ins and outs are not for you to inquire about." As long as you know, the first volume of the Yin Scripture is in this person's mind, and the method of how to crack the Yin Script is only known to him. ”

"He's dead? Now the mummy? I asked nervously.

Ma Danlong shook his head: "He didn't die, he just entered the Skyclave." ”

"What is the Skyclave?" I asked, confused.

Ma Danlong smiled bitterly: "I don't know either." I only know that the name of this method is called the Five Aggregates Empty Meditation, and it enters the vacuum in the fixed state. It's an extremely advanced method. My abilities are completely incomprehensible, not even explainable. This method is not something that ordinary people can cultivate, and only by first leaving the soul in the bardo and then practicing in the bardo can one enter the empty realm. ”

I gasped: "Master Ma, I have been to the realm of bardo. You mean that there are two levels of practice, the first is from reality to the bardo, and the second is to enter the state of emptiness from the bardo? ”

"Exactly." Ma Danlong said: "It can be said that the Sky Realm is a spatial realm that is one level higher than the Bardo Realm. What it's like there, what it's like, hehe," he smiled wryly, "I can't understand it." ”

"So what should I do?" I asked.

Ma Danlong said: "There are two ways. One is to wait for Liu Yang to wake up by himself and come back from the Skyclave. The second is that you enter the Skyclave to wake him up. There is no third way. ”

My heart was pounding, and neither of them seemed reliable.

"How long has he been in?" I asked.

Ma Danlong said: "He entered the Skyclave on August 8, 2014, and it has been almost five years now. When will you wake up," he paused, "it's all about chance and creation." ”

"Master," I thought Ma Danlong was very honest, so he didn't hide it anymore: "I have a few friends who also came in last night. ”

Ma Danlong nodded: "The middle three floors of this building are unique enchantments created by me, and there is an ancient formation of Taoism and Ten Thousand Laws Returning to the Sect, which cannot be broken into by ordinary people." You're lucky enough to find this place, in fact, because of the psychic bracelet on your wrist. I also knew those three people, and they knew it as soon as they came in, and they didn't let them go for a little punishment. Since you're talking about this, I'll let Katsuki take you to them and lead them out. ”

Qingyue sat on the side and didn't speak until this time did she bend down slightly and say "yes".

"Master Ma, so you said that you were the one who came out of our cave last night?" I asked with a wink.

"It's me." Qingyue said, "Master asked me to find out where you came from. It was my remiss to let you in. ”

Ma Danlong nodded: "Qingyue is my apprentice, and I left him here to take care of Liu Yang's body, which is also a kind of retreat. You are so curious, and you make a mistake, you are actually ruining his practice. ”

I hurriedly bowed to the light moon: "I'm sorry. ”

Qingyue waved her hand: "Don't come in after you go out, you have a bracelet to make an exception, I'll tell you how to get in, but don't bring other irrelevant people, otherwise even you won't have this qualification." ”

I was sweating and hurriedly said yes.

"By the way, Master Ma, I also encountered a strange thing." I told me about seeing Li Yang and the copper lock in the dark just now. They were still there, and the sound of striking copper sounds, the two of them suddenly disappeared mysteriously.

Qingyue and Ma Danlong's master and apprentice glanced at each other, obviously they didn't know either, and they were not mentally prepared.

Ma Danlong muttered: "How could such a thing happen? ”

I hurriedly said, "Master Ma, do you know why our people came to investigate you?" ”

"Aren't you looking for Yin texts?" Ma Danlong asked.

"I'm here to find Yin Wen. And those friends, they found them because of time confusion. "I also told me about the brass lock and accidentally seeing the watch hand turned upside down.

A master like Ma Danlong had an incredible expression on his face. He turned his face abruptly, and his gaze fell on Liu Yang.

"What's wrong, Master Ma?" I asked cautiously.

Ma Danlong muttered: "Could it be that Liu Yang has become a demon?" ”
