18, the unlucky Lotus Master
Illuminated by the light of the dancing torches, the red-painted staircase was dull and dull red, and visibility in the field of vision was low, and it was pitch black two meters away.
Tan Mo held the torch and looked up, this small western-style building had three floors, and the stairs were repaired directly from the first floor to the third floor. This disparate architectural style is very obvious.
At this time, Master Lotus had already gone upstairs, and Tan Mo could only see the light of the torch in Master Lotus's hand, as for Master Lotus's figure, he couldn't see it clearly.
Tan Mo took a deep breath, made a wooden face, and walked upstairs.
The shoes were on the wooden steps, and they suddenly creaked and creaked, because it was very quiet, so there was only the sound of Tan Mo's breathing and the sound of the wooden planks of the stairs coming out.
Tan Mo walked very steadily, and he didn't stop when he reached the second floor, ready to continue to the third floor.
Although Master Lotus's posture makes it clear that those things in this place are not human, there should not be much of a threat, and they can be suppressed with just a string of prayer beads, but Tan Mo still has no bottom in his heart, and if he lives closer to Master Lotus, he can always be more down-to-earth.
However, he was about to go up, when suddenly there was a loud noise, something fell out of Tan Mo's pocket and rolled all the way away.
Listening to the sound, it seems that it is the half of the gold ingots that I have only been in my hands for a long time.
I reached out and touched my pocket, and it was empty.
Tan Mo couldn't help but look over.
The place was pitch black, with some layering, it seemed to be the door of a room, and the door was open, so the half of the gold ingots rolled all the way in.
"According to the plot of a general thriller, if I go in at this time, it will probably be cold the next day." Tan Mo stared at the door for three seconds, and then resolutely walked in.
When he walked to the door, Tan Mo took the rosary in his hand and began to chant the scriptures.
Buzz –
The window shook suddenly, and it seemed that Tan Mo had come in, scaring away some small animal that happened to be there.
Tan Mo looked left and right, there were actually a few candles in this room, so he picked them up, lit them one by one with a torch, and found a place to plug them in the house.
For a moment, the room was bright.
Tan Mo turned around, only to find that the furnishings of this room were unexpectedly good. Not only are there beds and chairs, but there is also a human-high mirror, facing the doorway.
The mirror was full of dust, and Tan Mo stood in front, and the figure reflected was very blurry.
However, it can also be seen from this that this is not an ordinary copper mirror, but an expensive glass mirror. The big side of the palm is worth a lot of money, such a glass mirror with a human height, you can imagine how rich the owner of this place should be.
I just don't know what happened, and all the people are gone.
Even after death, it has been reduced to an unknown and mysterious thing.
"Donor, since you brought the little monk in, then the little monk will be here to disturb for a night, if it causes inconvenience to the donor...... You go to the third floor to reason with my senior brother. ”
Tan Mo clasped his hands together and said so, then went over to close the door, and when he walked back, he picked up the half of the gold ingots by the way, stuffed it in his pocket, and wiped the chairs in the room clean.
Sitting cross-legged, Tan Mo was ready to meditate and chant in this place for a night according to what Master Lotus said.
He didn't dare to fall asleep anyway.
He was reciting such a mantra, although it has not had any effect so far, but the 99% success rate in his eyes gave him a lot of confidence.
The rosary was gently plucked, and for a moment only the faint sound of chanting remained in the room.
Crackling.
From time to time, there is a slight popping sound, which is the wheat straw in the candle, which is cut corners during the production, and the defective performance is formed.
Suddenly, the candlelight in the house went out.
But it didn't get dark in the house.
The east was already white, and a faint light penetrated through the window.
Nothing happened overnight.
With a yawn, Tan Mo breathed a sigh of relief. However, what made Tan Mo feel pity was that he still failed to become a person in the Nine Xuanzhong. So, he went out to practice boxing.
While practicing boxing, Tan Mo looked around.
It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly, but at this time, by the light of the sky, Tan Mo found that this place was really remote, and there were no wild forests or barren grass beaches nearby, and there were no traces of human activity.
If it weren't for Master Lotus leading it last night, Tan Mo wouldn't have believed that in this kind of place, there would be a small western-style building, and it was not completely abandoned, and many things in it could be used.
After practicing boxing, because of the chicken that I ate in the middle of the night last night, so I wasn't hungry at this time, Tan Mo looked at the small western-style building, and couldn't help but wonder, could it be that this Lotus Master couldn't sleep lazy? It hasn't come out yet.
After glancing at the sky, it was almost noon, so Tan Mo walked to the small western-style building, and then went straight to the third floor.
"Senior brother!"
"Senior brother!"
"Where are you?"
Tan Mo shouted loudly, but he didn't hear a response, and when he didn't know where to find someone, he suddenly heard a human voice on the wall on the side, followed by a boom, a stream of sand and dust flying, the gray face, and the lotus master who was tied up with strips of cloth all over his body, jumped out like a zongzi.
Baring his teeth, he shouted at Tan Mo: "Little junior brother, you came just in time, I can't untie this cloth by myself, come and help!" ”
didn't ask what Master Lotus encountered last night, after Tan Mo confirmed that this was Master Lotus, he hurriedly went up to help.
The strip of cloth tied to Master Lotus is very strange, Master Lotus can't untie it alive or dead, so he can only be at the mercy of the strip of cloth, but as soon as Tan Mo helps, it is easy to untie.
"Water! Give me water! I'm dying of thirst. "Master Lotus gasped for breath and was trapped in the wall for half a night, in such a hot season, even if his aura cultivation was profound, it really suffocated him.
Tan Mo hurriedly handed the gourd he was carrying to Master Lotus.
Master Lotus nodded slightly to show his gratitude, then grabbed the gourd and pulled out the stopper and was about to drink it, but suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Tan Mo and asked, "Little junior brother, where did this water come from?" ”
"It's the extra water from cooking the chicken last night, and I put it in the gourd." Tan Mo replied.
"So the water is in this building?" Master Lotus raised his eyebrows and hurriedly asked.
Tan Mo nodded.
Master Lotus's face suddenly became very exciting, he threw the gourd out of the distance, and then urged Tan Mo: "Go, go, the gourd is gone, let's go quickly!" ”
Tan Mo didn't ask why, Master Lotus said so, then he just did it.
The two left in a hurry, and Master Lotus did not stop until they met a tea stall and went over to drink water.
"Goo-goo-goo."
Probably thirsty, Master Lotus made several bowls of strong tea.
With a long exhalation, Master Lotus patted his belly and shouted, "Comfort! ”
Seeing this, Tan Mo felt that Master Lotus had eased up, so he asked out loud, "Senior brother, what did you encounter last night?" ”
In this small western-style building, looking at Master Lotus's attitude at the beginning last night, it was clear that there was nothing to be afraid of. But why did one night pass, and Master Lotus was cleaned up so badly?
Moreover, he obviously met a ghost last night, why is he okay? Even if he is in the wind, it is unlikely that he will have such a generous treatment!
It's strange to talk about Mo.
The corners of Master Lotus's mouth twitched, his expression was very unnatural, and he said in a low voice: "In that building, there were originally a few foreigners' wandering spirits, but I don't know when it started, it changed to a new owner, no wonder there were a lot of fresh things in that building, at that time, the poor monks were still the wandering spirits of those foreigners, thinking that they were not dead, so they ran out to buy them back." ”
"A different owner?"
Master Lotus nodded, and then explained: "She is a member of the Three Sages, and the poor monk is not defeated by her, so she will not be ashamed. These three saints are actually the three talents. It's just that these three are the beginning, and these three saints are the later stages of the realm of the three talents. ”
Tan Mo's eyes showed surprise, he didn't expect that it was such a master who cleaned up Master Lotus, and he couldn't help but ask: "Senior brother, what does that master look like, can you tell me about it, so that I don't accidentally offend that master in the future." ”
When Master Lotus heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched again, then he coughed dryly and said, "An old woman who is twenty-eight years old and still pretends to be a little girl with her height advantage, there is nothing to know. Don't worry, junior brother, you won't meet her. ”
