Old man Sun said that 60 years ago, there was also a big flood in the Yellow River, and more than 100 villages on both sides of the river were damaged.

Later, I don't know where a wandering Taoist came, so that the villagers threw the ancient bell in the broken temple in the western suburbs of Laomiao Village into the river, and a magical scene happened, all the snakes were like lifeless, and the tide retreated into the river, and never appeared again.

When Lao Dao left, he warned the villagers not to salvage the ancient clock, otherwise there would be endless troubles.

Sixty years have passed since this incident, things are not people, most of the people at that time have become loess, and there has been no problem in the Yellow River over the years, and this matter has also rolled east with the waves of the Yellow River.

After listening to him, I let out a long sigh and asked Old Man Sun: "Could it be that the evil cult of the Yellow River came out to make trouble this time, because the ancient bell that sank at the bottom of the river was fished away?" ”

Old man Sun nodded.

"I've also secretly investigated these days, and in March this year, a sand fishing boat in Linxian County picked up a rusty bronze bell, which may be the ancient bell that sank to the bottom of the river 60 years ago!"

Master Sun asked me to find this ancient bell as soon as possible, and then sink back to the bottom of the river again, so that I can suppress the evil attack of the Yellow River this time.

When I returned, dawn had broken in the east, and a room full of people was still asleep.

It was summer, so I didn't have much to wear, and when I rubbed in bed when I went to bed, all kinds of spring appeared......

In order to avoid trouble, I still stepped on the "plum blossom pile" and returned to the middle of a group of beauties. Next to me was Hao Xiaoyu, as soon as I lay down, she put one arm on my crotch, and I don't know if I was sleepy, so I scratched it.

I couldn't stand it a little after three or five strokes, and my body reacted.

At this time, she should not have slept so deeply, scratched a few more times, seemed to feel that something was not quite right, and opened her eyes at once.

"Ahh Chen Xiaozhen, you rascal! ”

Hao Xiaoyu screamed, and the room sat up in unison.

"What's wrong! Xiaoyu? ”

"What are you yelling about! Early morning ......"

"Scared the hell out of me! I thought the snake was coming! ”

Hao Xiaoyu stared at me with a red face and red ears, and did not speak.

I sat up before they saw how ugly I was, and used my shirt to block my disobedient brother. The girls looked at me a few times as if they didn't understand, scolded me a few words, and then changed the topic and talked about snakes.

At the mention of snakes, the girls were worried about their families and got out of bed and went home.

After only me and Yanli were left in the room, she took the initiative to throw herself into my arms, her face tightly pressed against my neck.

"What's wrong? This is? I asked

Yanli didn't speak, and after hugging me for more than a minute, the dragonfly kissed me on the cheek and ran to the kitchen.

After dinner, I went to Wang Jiliang's house and asked him about the ancient clock of the Yellow River sixty years ago, he scratched his head and thought about it and said: "I seem to remember hearing people talk about this when I was a child, but it has been too long, and I can't remember what happened." Why do you ask this? ”

Of course, I can't say that Old Man Sun said it, so I lied.

"O'...... The master who taught me Taoism gave me a few books, which I read last night, which recorded the snake disaster in the Yellow River sixty years ago, and noted the key to cracking it, that is, the ancient bell of the Yellow River must be in the river. ”

Seeing the scene where I scared off the snakes yesterday, no matter what I say now, Wang Jiliang is convinced.

"According to what you say, the ancient clock of the Yellow River that sank to the bottom of the river sixty years ago has been fished out again?"

"I heard that in March, a salvage boat in our Linxian County salvaged an ancient clock......

"Oh? Let me ask! I don't really understand that there is such a thing in the world. ”

Wang Jiliang muttered back to the village branch.

By the time Wang Jiliang found me again, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and I was in Yanli's house to persuade the people in the house to go back to their homes with confidence.

"Uncle Wang, what's the matter!"

"There is really such a thing, one of my comrades-in-arms is the deputy director of Linxian County, he said that the ancient bell is from the Yuan Dynasty, it has been rusted, and when it was just salvaged, the bell mouth was blocked by yellow mud, and after it was opened, more than 100 snakes ran out...... Later, it was sent to the prefectural cultural center, and it is still there today! ”

"Uncle Wang, do you have a way to get Gu Zhong back? For the sake of the people in our nearby villages. ”

"I can only try as much as I can—it's quite difficult, is there any other way to write it in the book?"

I shook my head.

Wang Jiliang returned home with a sad face. After all these experiences, I also understood why my brother urged me to hurry back to the village, and at the same time, I also knew how precious the few books left by my master were.

Probably decades ago, he would have calculated what is happening today.

After persuading the neighbors, I asked Yanli to close the door, and then hid in the house and read the few books left by the master twice.

After eating the dragon egg, I seem to have a steady stream of strength in my body, and coupled with this period of cross-legged meditation, my memory is obviously better, almost to the point of unforgettable.

In half an afternoon, I memorized the contents of several books in my mind (I didn't know many words, let alone read them, so I could only write them down by swallowing dates, and then I had the opportunity to digest them slowly).

The book records the cultivation of the Yellow River Taoist people, and also describes dozens of "Taoist Taoism", the last paragraph of the text shocked me to be dumbfounded, limited by the cultural level, I did not read very clearly, the book wrote:

The Yellow River Taoism, based on the method of the heart, aims to break the attachment to Wukong and see the nature of the mind, which is the core of the Tao. Seeking the Dharma outside the heart is like grinding bricks as a mirror, and the confusion of the heart is the hub of sanctification and mortality. The wisdom of the heart is moistened by fixed water, and the life is transformed into the body, and gradually the life is cultivated and combined.

Cultivating to the highest level, you can use all things for your own use, soar through the clouds, call for wind and rain, take things from the air, take people's hearts, read people's hearts, and give full play to people's potential. The ancients called this realm "immortal metamorphosis".

After rote memorization of the contents of the book, I asked Yanli to find a small jar, put a few books in it, and sealed the mouth of the jar tightly with half a sheepskin, and buried it deep under the big locust tree in her yard.

In the evening, the door of Yanli's house was slapped, and as soon as the door was opened, Hao Xiaoyu and several other beauties who were a year or two older than me walked in.

"Little rascal, my sister has to cheapen you again tonight, let's report first, but the ugly words come to the fore! I'll bring a pair of scissors with me, and you'll ...... I just 'clicked' you! ”

The others laughed along.

They did not enter the house, but said a few words at the door and then went home, saying that they would come back after dinner.

The events of that night were basically the same as last night, except that the younger chose to stay at home with their parents.

Early the next morning, Wang Jiliang called me to go to the village branch, saying that he had contacted Yang Guoshan, the director of the cultural center in the district, and asked us to go to Linxian to see the ancient bell.

In addition to the three of us, there was also a thin old man wearing highly myopic glasses, who looked a bit like a senior brother, but he didn't have the fairy wind bones on his senior brother, and he had a little more scholarly atmosphere.

In less than an hour, the car entered the cultural center of Linxian County.

"Lao Yang, the distinguished guests are visiting, and they are not welcome!"

After the car stopped, three middle-aged people walked up the steps of the main building, and the one who walked in front gave up his hand one after another.

"Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for a long time, I took the liberty to disturb this time!"

I heard it all over the place, and sure enough, I worked at the cultural center, and I didn't speak the same words as our countrymen.

The one known as Brother Wei was a deputy director of the cultural center, and he looked like he was in his early forties.

He led us directly to a building next to it that said "Cultural Center Pavilion".

As soon as I walked into the hall, the heat in my chest surged instantly.

I said in my heart: There is a door! It seems that the ancient bell of the Yellow River is here!

Sure enough, when I entered the hall and turned to the right, I saw a big bell that was more than a meter high and had green black.

"Lao Yang, this is the big bell you are talking about, right? We're worried that we don't have a place to put it! ”

Yang Guoshan glanced at Wang Jiliang, and then motioned with his eyes to the thin old man who came with us to lean over and take a look.

The old man took out a magnifying glass the size of an adult's palm from his bag, and looked at it inch by inch along the bottom edge of the ancient clock.

Six or seven minutes later, the old man turned to Yang Guoshan and said, "Director Yang, this is indeed something from the Yuan Dynasty, it should be an ancient bell struck every morning in a certain temple. ”

"Oh?" Yang Guoshan glanced at the surnamed Wei with a smile, "How is it!" Brother Wei, I didn't lie to you! This ancient bell was lost in the temple in their village, and it has been decades old, so you can bear to cut your love and return to Zhao, right? ”

"Okay! You got it, I also have to worry about it, but the simple procedure still has to go, I will make a report first, it is estimated that it will be approved in two days, and I will contact you when the time comes, you can find a car to pull it! ”

When I looked at this ancient clock, in addition to the heat surging in my body, I also felt a little depressed, just like when I first saw the cat-faced old lady. This makes me a little puzzled, if this ancient bell is really used by the temple, even if it is not called a holy relic, it cannot be evil!

Can't figure it out! I really can't figure it out!

On the way back, the driver didn't drive fast, but Wang Jiliang, Yang Guoshan and the thin old man all felt a little dizzy, they thought they were getting motion sickness, but I always felt that it was probably related to the ancient clock, because when I left, I accidentally saw two metal basins on the southeast and northwest corners of the ancient clock hall, and there were half basins of burnt ash in them.

There was also a faint smell of rosin on the ground.

This is a bit similar to the way in which a spirit exorcism technique is recorded in the "Yellow River Dao Technique", which is a kind of Taoist technique to drive away the resentment of evil spirits.

I suspect that this Curator Wei is hiding something from us, I'm afraid that he has been hoping that someone will take this ancient bell away!
