The old forest in the middle of the night is not very quiet, and the imaginary silence really only exists in the imagination;

The wind from the north, like the loud and rough voice of a northern man, kept blowing, like a huge hand, using this old forest as a string and constantly playing.

I can't tell any rhythm, and I don't have any reliable staves, but it's so disorganized, and after a long time, I'm used to it.

A middle-aged man with a box of batteries walked to a stream,

He actually regretted it a little,

battery

Bought a bit early.

It's like traveling to a place, usually the day before you go back, or even on the day you go back, you can make do with buying some "souvenirs" at the airport or train station.

How can you buy a lot of souvenirs on the first day and run around with them in your hands all the time?

Besides, compared to the Goubuli buns that no one in Tianjin eats, and compared to the Zhang Fei beef that no one in Chengdu eats,

These two types of "local souvenirs" can only be purchased at souvenir shops.

This battery,

Is it hard to buy?

Full of streets,

You can buy it at any grocery store.

But since I bought it,

Just take it with you.

The battery must not be wet,

So the man carefully wrapped several layers of plastic paper and placed them on the pile of leaves across the stream.

forthwith

He went to the brook,

Squat down,

Scoop up a handful of water,

Start washing your hands,

He washed very carefully, very, very seriously, but unfortunately Boss Zhou was not here, otherwise if he saw it, he might feel sorry for each other because of the other party's attitude of washing his hands seriously.

They are all people who love cleanliness.

Washed my hands,

shook off,

The man sat down on the ground.

water level of streams,

began to slowly descend,

Descending at a rate visible to the naked eye,

And in the middle of the stream,

Gradually, a cornice was revealed.

For thousands of years, Chinese have always had their own dedication and unique aesthetics for house construction, and even the eaves have a unique design.

From the current point of view, everyone in the past actually lived in the "artwork", but now, they are smashing the pot and sending themselves into the cage of the apartment, as if living in a larger urn in advance;

The difference is nothing more than that some urns will be the same as those plastic fruit boxes with dried fruit and melon seeds, divided into several grids, and a set of two sets of three urn styles has been derived.

Below the stream,

It's a temple,

I just don't know how many years ago,

This temple was buried, and it is estimated that it has collapsed.

The cornice, which may have been slightly better preserved, is now its only pride, a reminder of its former glory.

This is a city god temple.

A little yellow light began to condense next to the man, and finally condensed into the figure of a scholar.

The scholar is dressed in a yellow court dress,

The whole person looked very tired.

You can clearly feel a decay aura from him, and there is a slight bit of decay in the corners and corners that are not very noticeable.

"I thought I would never see him again."

The scholar spoke.

The man nodded, "yes." ”

Back then,

Both of them are from the Central Plains, that is, the current Henan people, and their families are well-off;

This is nonsense,

It's like the current son-in-law is tired of playing with other things and always likes to pursue novel excitement, with the kind of traffic level back then, the two of them can actually run from Henan to the Northeast together, and it is considered the northeast location of the Northeast, and the family has no money and is so idle that they really can't do this kind of thing.

happened to be young in the same year, and scolded Fang Xuan;

"Later, did you pass the test?" The scholar asked.

"Gold List Title."

When the scholar heard this, he showed an angry look and looked very indignant, "If it weren't for my illness and death." ”

"It's not that you stimulated me after you died here, but because you died and lost such a playmate, I suddenly felt that many things were boring, so I simply closed my door to study."

"Reading and reading, accidentally passing the test?"

"Sort of."

The scholar smiled,

The man laughed too.

Back then,

The two of them traveled here together,

It was originally a market town.

The scholar contracted the wind and cold here, and he didn't survive it, and he was gone.

The middle-aged man buried the scholar here.

A millennium later,

One became a local city god here,

One became Hades in hell.

"I've heard a lot about you." Scholar Dao.

"I know you must know a lot about me."

The scholar nodded.

"I've been waiting for you to come to me." The man said.

"I'm not going to come to you."

"I also know you're definitely not going to come to me."

After the man finished speaking,

Laughed again with the scholar.

Why don't you come to my house to play?

Don't agree, I mean it!

The friends of the year made a fortune,

It's human nature to come and find a relationship, change places, and ask for help.

Look at the way the scholar looks now,

I don't know how many years the incense here has been broken,

The temple was destroyed and almost gone, buried in dust, and the population was extremely thin, and the people were gone, where to find incense?

The scholar's Dharma Body has been broken to this point.

estimate

There are less than a decade left.

"I didn't expect to see you before leaving."

"I didn't expect myself to come up at this time, by the way, do you know the battery? I bought a lot of them this time. ”

In the discourse,

With a tone of showing off to old friends,

Very naïve,

It's also pure.

"Times are different." The scholar sighed.

The middle-aged man frowned,

He didn't want the topic to turn in that direction,

Simply reunited with old friends,

Isn't it good?

"I'm sparsely populated here, and there's no incense anymore, but the city gods everywhere are basically the same now."

Speaking of which,

The scholar looked at his old friend.

The city gods are under the jurisdiction of the Yin Division, and their status is transcendent, and they are basically served by local heroic spirits.

Their existence, their continuation, their prosperity and decline, really cannot be measured by simple incense.

This is a general trend,

A kind of deliberate indulgence, a general trend that is artificially made.

A city god, a Hades,

It's like a general on the border,

Ask the elders of the dynasty,

Why did the imperial court cut off the salaries of the border army?

Didn't the imperial court know that if this continued, the city god system would collapse and the edifice would collapse?

But in fact,

As we all know,

Everybody's clear, everybody's aware.

Lawyer An and Feng Si'er, this kind of middle and lower-level inspection can see that the ship is about to sink, not to mention other people who are sitting higher?

The higher the person sits, the more clearly the tremor will be felt once the foundation begins to be unstable.

The middle-aged man didn't speak.

"The order of yin and yang can't be changed." The scholar continued to sigh.

The middle-aged man sighed and said:

"Before going down this time, I will go back to our home to have a look, I heard that your family's former mansion is now a cultural relics attraction and has been preserved."

"In the old days, Wang Xie Tang was just a swallow." The scholar looked at the middle-aged man very seriously, "The people are gone, and the empty shell is kept as bright and beautiful as it is, what's the point of it?" ”

"It's better than nothing at all."

"Do you know why, after the disappearance of the last generation, you were able to inherit everything that Tarzan left behind so smoothly?"

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and closed his eyes, his impatient expression was already very clear.

He's not good at hiding his emotions.

One is that there is no need for this,

In this world,

The person who needs him to deliberately flatter and pretend to collect his emotions and face it,

It's really not much,

Even if that bodhisattva,

At most, it's only half a half.

What's more,

The reunion of friends when they were young is an easy thing to open their hearts.

The scholar actually saw it, but the scholar pretended not to see it, and continued:

"Because you have inherited everything about Mount Tai, the pattern of Mount Tai, the system of Mount Tai.

The prince of the house is gone,

One becomes the other,

hehe

Or rather,

One became ten of you,

Actually, it really doesn't matter.

What is the difference between sitting one person or ten people or sitting a hundred people on the top chair and the crowd below?

anyway

I couldn't sit up. ”

Speaking of this, the scholar laughed again, but this time the middle-aged man did not laugh.

"Actually, I'm really unwilling." The scholar stretched out his hand, and a cup appeared in his hand, the cup was filled with stream water, and he took a sip of water instead of wine, "I'm really unwilling, I knew today, how could we have ............ at the beginning?"

The middle-aged man coughed and said:

"There's no point in talking about that now."

You didn't stop it, or rather, you acquiesced.

Right now

What is done cannot be undone

Anything else, it's useless.

For thousands of years,

What really made the middle-aged man feel a little strange and curious, and it was the head of the hound who dared to speak out in the silence of everyone.

"This is the general trend, under the general trend, you can't stop it, and I can't stop it."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"The question is, did you get past it? Have you tried it?

or,

You're not in the way,

Even stood in the back and pushed? ”

"In what capacity are you talking to me?"

"Chenghuang and Hades? Or are you friends who traveled together back then? You tell me? ”

The middle-aged man was silent.

"As a city god, as a minister who guards the land in the yin and yang worlds, do I have the right to speak out?

As an old friend, in the face of like-minded partners in the past, can you have the responsibility to persuade and encourage each other? ”

The middle-aged man remained silent.

The scholar's body began to burn,

"I have 10 years left, and I didn't expect you to come, but I've been looking forward to you.

Now

Since you're here, I'll use the remaining ten years to tell you one thing.

The edifice will fall,

The higher you stand,

The worse you fall! ”

"Boom!"

The scholar's body exploded,

The terrifying yellow karmic fire began to rag.

The middle-aged man sat there and didn't move,

A black circle of light appeared around it,

Completely block this raging karmic fire,

outside

The flames are surging,

But he was at ease.

He looked up,

Looking up at the dark night sky,

Let the karmic fire continue to burn on the periphery,

He smiled,

He smiled and said:

"The edifice will fall, the edifice will fall,

hehe

And who told you,

I'm still upstairs? ”
