Chapter 56: The Search for the Truth
…… In one building, the screen window of the water and the sky, on the sunken wood-colored table in the middle of the whole house, wisps of smoke floated above the incense burner the size of a dark golden palm.
The smell is calming and indescribably comfortable.
The structure of the house is wooden, with wooden seats and benches, wooden doors and windows and beams, which are antique.
Twisted a handful of meat on the thighs and hiss~~~! It hurts!
It's not a dream!
Look at your body again, huh! It's still the same self as before.
If it weren't for the fact that the merchant deed still had the memory of being brought in, he would definitely think that he had crossed over.
"Where is this?"
Shang Ziqi covered his head, his head was a little panicked, everything in his eyes seemed to be in the void, and the situation in his heart made him puzzled.
In his mind's eye, the last impression of the location was around the abandoned factory, and he watched his pale back leave, and then ......
Then, yes, and then a man came out and said something to him, and finally he followed the man here for some reason, and finally smelled a faint fragrance, and woke up in this room.
He couldn't remember the outline of the man, he didn't remember how he came to it, including what the man said to him, he only had a general impression.
Yes, it's the truth, he's here to find the truth!
After thinking about this, his sore head slowly eased, he got out of bed, staggered and finally came to the table where the incense burner was placed in the middle of the house, sat down on the futon, picked up the kettle on the table, shook it twice, and there was still water in it.
Shang Ziqi couldn't care so much anymore, he felt like a dry and cracked land, and when he lifted the lid of the pot and poured it into his mouth, it was a pot of tea, and the water in the pot was cold.
A pot of water was poured into his abdomen, and there were still some residual tea leaves in his mouth, Shang Ziqi chewed hard, and the bitterness spread in his mouth.
I don't know my current situation, Shang Ziqi has no choice, there is only a pot of water in the room, and now that he has solved the problem of water, a feeling of hunger has sprung up in his stomach again.
There was nothing to eat here, and it was still unclear what the situation was outside, and it was impossible to act rashly, just as he thought so, the creak of the wooden door sounded.
Before hearing his voice, he saw his person.
Walking in was a bald monk dressed as a stunning appearance, but the eyebrows and the momentum on his body made Shang Ziqi smell a deterrent domineering.
He held a plate in one hand and the other hand in front of him, rubbing a string of dark red Buddhist beads.
"It seems that the poor road came at the right time." He smiled, walked in, sat down opposite Shang Ziqi, and placed the plate of pastries in front of him, "Eat, you've been asleep for two days." ”
"Where is this? What are you doing with me? Shang Ziqi only glanced at the plate of pastries, and then stared at the monk closely.
The monk looked at Shang Ziqi with a vigilant look and laughed.
"Although I didn't have the opportunity to see the demeanor of that brave man more than 2,000 years ago, it seems that now it will not be much worse."
"What do you mean?"
This is a bit like the reincarnation of those gods in mythology, and the hairs on the back of Shang Ziqi stand on end.
"My name is Visionary, I'm glad to meet you, don't worry, we won't hurt you, my doubts will be answered for you slowly." The foresight picked up a piece of pastry and handed it to the merchant.
Seeing that he still didn't answer, the hand holding the pastry handed it forward again, "Eat, if you don't eat, your body can't bear it." ”
Hearing this, Shang Ziqi felt more and more uncomfortable that his stomach was empty, and he was no longer hypocritical, so he reached out and took the fast pastry, and ate it in three or two bites.
After the foresight left, Shang Ziqi slowed down the speed of eating pastries, to say that this pastry is really good, soft and glutinous and fragrant, for these pastries, he didn't think there was any problem, chewed carefully one bite at a time, remembering what the foresight said, Shang Ziqi was wrong.
I remembered that I had slept for two days, which means that I had disappeared in the eyes of the merchants for more than two days.
He didn't know why the merchant had taken such a fancy to him recently, not recently, but he had always been very fond of him, but he had become more and more cautious recently, and what was the saying that he was twenty years old, combined with what the foresight had just said, could it be ......
Could it be that you are the one who is?
No, no, no, it's not right, he is a living person, with thoughts and spirits, what that person belongs to.
But if it weren't for that person, how could the merchant be so nervous about him for more than ten years......
I can't think about it anymore, Shang Ziqi now, when he thinks that there is another person in his body, and there is another person who may replace him at the age of twenty, then it means that he, the current self, can only live to be twenty years old, and he will die!
As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to run away, "Yes, run, run, I can't let those people manipulate me." ”
But just one escapes, how to escape, where to escape, no, this will not work.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
It was the sound of a knock on a wooden door.
"Donor, the master asked me to send you something."
"Come in, come in......"
The door was pushed open, and the little monk held a wad of objects wrapped in a bright yellow cloth towel in both hands, and when he entered, he saluted the merchant's deed.
Ignoring the panic of the merchant deed, the little monk put down the object, lowered his head and said, "The master said, the donor may be puzzled at this time, or he may have drilled the tip of the corner, and please don't worry, read these things, after reading them, you will understand some things, and when the time comes, the master will solve your doubts one by one." ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for a look from Shang Ziqi, and went out.
Now Shang Ziqi is alone in the room, with the breath wafting from the incense burner in the room, maybe it is the words of the little monk, or maybe it is the indifferent attitude of the little monk, he gradually calmed down.
"Okay, it's only a matter of a few days anyway, I'll see if you can solve my confusion."
After speaking, he stared at the thing wrapped in yellow cloth on the table, and gritted his teeth, "What is still mysterious!" ”
————————
On the fourth floor to the west of the tower room, the vision is copying scriptures.
"How did he react when you went?"
"When he was sending something, he saw me, he was a little flustered, his eyes were staring out the window, he should be planning to escape." The one who replied was the little monk who had sent things to Shang Ziqi before.
"That's what he wants." The foresight smiled, like peach blossoms blooming all over the mountainside in March, but the little monk was dazzled, "What happened later?" ”
"Later? Not! Later, I looked at him, maybe I had changed my mind again, but I didn't have the intention of running away, and sat there and slowly looked through all the things you gave him. ”
