Chapter 341: Burning Ancient Books
Late at night, the whole night sky is shrouded in darkness, I don't know if I will experience a few polar night weather, I can't sleep at night, I sit alone at the head of the bed, looking out the window, lightning and thunder, but I don't see a drop of rain falling, and I can't hear the sound of raindrops falling
Since midnight, the lightning in the sky has become more and more dense, the dark night sky is illuminated as bright as day, and I have encountered so many extreme weather in a row, it is said that I, I should have been numb, in fact, the more God is like this, the more uneasy I am, I have never experienced such bad weather since I was a child, how can this make me not associate with the re-seeing of the light of day in ancient books
"Zhong Kui's remnants, disaster to the world" these words seem to be chewed in my mouth, is it, the ancient books that have been treasured for a hundred years should be burned I really can't be ruthless with this heart, this has to be the reason why it took a lot of effort to compile this can be called the sect of ten thousand sects, the law of ten thousand laws of the sect of the master sect as the inheritor of the sect, how can I ruthlessly destroy it in my hands
I looked at the window in a quiet daze, a flash of lightning flashed, but I clearly saw that in the poplar forest in front of the new house, there were people floating, and there was more than one person
Seeing this, I was shocked, got up from the bed, went to the window, and looked carefully at the poplar forest outside the window, it was empty, and I didn't see anything
The people just now, or the filthy things, went there, why they came to the poplar forest outside the new house at this point in time, and what they wanted to do is self-explanatory
I began to stand up and lean on one side of the windowsill, and there was a lot of outside world left and right, there was nothing, not even a ghost, there was no outside world, except for lightning bolts, I couldn't see anything, it was all the same as usual, in the ordinary scene
I stood there and looked out the window for half an hour, and when I found nothing unusual, I sat back at the head of the bed again, but at this time, I heard the wind outside the house suddenly blowing more violently, and the doors and windows also clanged
I had a hunch that the situation outside seemed to be worse for a while, but I suddenly noticed that there were several strong beams of light outside, swaying on the dirt road in front of the village
This must be the beam of light emitted by the high beams of the car, I know too much about the lights of the car, which is enough to arouse my suspicion that we are in the middle of the night, the dangerous mountains and rivers, especially, in the middle of the night, that bold guy will dare to walk the road here, especially, it is a few cars that appear here together to say, they are passing by, anyway, I don't believe it
After a few bright lights entered the village, they disappeared without a trace, and I stayed at the back window of the new house for a long time, and I could not see any vehicles entering or leaving the back of the village, which means that they may have been lurking in the village, and they are also coming for me, which is really incomprehensible to me
I left the back window and went back to bed, where I was going to lie down and rest for a while, after all, the repeated high levels of mental tension were quite physically exerting
I lay on the bed, but I didn't seem to want to fall asleep at all, I stared straight out the window, and the lightning flashed by, shining brilliantly
The wind was blowing, the poplars were swaying, and the sound was like exuding the scene of the end of the world, but suddenly, I heard a human cough, which seemed very clear in the noisy world outside, if, no, my ears seemed to be unable to hear it, this is naturally related to my profession, activities in the dark, one by sight, two by hearing, without these two magic weapons, I will become like a blind or deaf person who cannot hear anything, nor can he see
After hearing that light cough, I was alert and turned over and got out of bed, and the only answer in my mind was that someone approached the new house, and they must have come to me, because I am the owner of the new house, and I must have had what they wanted, otherwise, they would never have appeared in this place
How do I deal with them, I don't have much in my mind, so I have to brake quietly, wait for them to make a move first, and then say maybe, it's a group of thieves, maybe maybe, they think they can build a small western-style building in this poor countryside, and the family is not rich but also quite rich, so they come here to rob the house
At this time, I sat on the wooden chair in front of the bed, pricked up my ears to listen to the sounds outside, once the wind and grass moved, I would take out the shotgun in the nursing home and not kill them, but also have to scare them half to death Mr. Yin and Yang, not everyone can afford to provoke, who can't understand this truth, so long will definitely be unlucky
The wind was still blowing, and the doors and windows clanged, and after a while, I heard an irregular tapping sound, which was very subtle, but I could still tell that it was the sound of a sliding door picking a lock
Someone tried to pry open the door of my first floor, at this time, I didn't choose to be silent, I had to fight back, otherwise, when they came in, I would be very easily controlled by them
Who are they, why did they come to visit my house in this stormy and miserable night, did they want to make money or kill people, or for the sake of the ancient books in my hands, these situations are all right, they have already remembered the treasure in my hand, but I did not expect them to appear so quickly and urgently
I walked down the stairs from the entrance of the second floor with my shotgun, and after a few steps, I threw out a teacup that I had just put in my pocket, only to hear a click, and the teacup shattered
The sound of a teacup shattering caused a chain reaction, first I heard someone fleeing from my door, and I could no longer hear the sound of the door locking it
Taking advantage of this panicked gap, I quickly rushed down to the second floor, and then, quickly, opened the door of the room, let the four of them open up, and played an empty game with them
The door, like opening the door to admit guests, was so open, I quickly returned to the second floor, squatted on the entrance of the building, holding a shotgun in both hands, the one who was not afraid of death dared to rush in first, and Lao Tzu would shoot whoever first
Throughout the ages, the empty city plan is a perfect scam that everyone is familiar with, but when you are in the scene, no one dares to be the first to break in, because the first one often becomes cannon fodder
I held the shotgun, has been staying up from late at night to dawn, no one has appeared, until dawn, I quickly put away the shotgun, and then, down to the first floor to the outside of the building to look at the door, behind the building, left dense footprints, I can't help but gasp, last night, someone really touched my door to pry open the door of my house, fortunately, I found it in time, and, with them played an empty city plan, they fled in the wilderness
I walked to the dirt road on the shore of Lake Akiyama again, and my eyes were full of rutted traces, and I could see that this was still left by Toyota off-road vehicles, they must be a planned and purposeful organization, they must have a secret to come here late at night, and what kind of secret is this veil of mystery that will not be revealed for a while
The sky is bright again, I know that there is not much time left for me, really as Master said, there are already people who are worried about Zhong Kui's remnants, even if I don't dig it out a few days ago, there will be people who will do whatever it takes to find its location, dig him out, and then use it to carry out their terrible plan, but can they succeed, I think the answer must be no
Now it is very clear that there are two choices in front of me, one, I am here, the ancient books are destroyed, and second, the ancient books are in, I dieWhen these two choices are placed in front of me, I can only choose the first one, destroy the ancient books, it will not affect my net worth, how I should exist or what kind of existence, what kind of chic or how chic
As if I had made this decision in an instant, I rushed to the master's house like crazy, and although the master saw my abnormality, she still didn't ask me too much
I came to the dark room alone, after worshipping the portraits of the ancestor and the master, I took out the fragment of Zhong Kui from a secret cabinet in the dark room, held it in my hand, and recited it again from the beginning, as much as possible to write down every word, every paragraph, and even a punctuation mark on it, remember it in my heart, reflect it in my mind, and engrave it in my eyes, anyway, the words cannot be forgotten
After reading it three times and reciting it three times, I finally put this decision into action, which is not the most desirable result, but it is also the final outcome, and perhaps, for everyone, it is not a good thing.
I brought the brazier to the portrait of the ancestor master, and then, bowed to the ancestor three times and bowed nine times, and said something against my will, what am I sorry for, the ancestor master, the sinner of the master's family, what to clean up the portal, in fact, my purpose is to burn this ancient book, and I would rather not let its existence cause chaos in the world, I would rather destroy it in my own hands than let it circulate in the world and cause chaos in the world
Thinking of this, I rushed to my brain like blood, I picked up the ancient book with both hands, stretched it out on the candle flame swaying wax torch, and the yellowed paper leaves were instantly burned, emitting the smell of sparks
I watched the ancient book burn with a steady stream of water, and when I was about to burn it, I threw it into the brazier and it seemed to burn even more vigorously
Within a few minutes, the remnants of the ancient book Zhong Kui burned to ashes, and although I knelt on the ground, I shed tears of regret, but I was still relieved, and it can be regarded as completing Master's last life, digging it up, destroying it, I have done it one by one, Master, your old man should be able to smile Jiuquan
Just when I naively thought that destroying this ancient book would bring peace to the world, I heard someone outside shouting that I should hurry out of the dark room
But I saw that Shi Niang was desperately stopping a person there, that is, the second doctor in the village, Hezi, after he found me, he no longer shouted, but questioned me sharply.
"What about Zhong Kui's remnants?"
"Burned by me" I had long expected that he was the person who was most concerned about this ancient book, so it was inconvenient for me to hide anything, and if it was burned, it would be burned
"Hey, you're bad for me, do you know" Erhezi said, and threw the medicine box he carried on his back at me, I couldn't dodge, and was smashed to the ground, and today, I finally found out who my enemy was
