Chapter 360: Diverging
After the little girl sent us outside the main hall, she turned around and went back without saying a word, and returned to the door and quickly pushed the door of the temple, as if she wanted to close the door.
Outside the main hall, surrounded by mountains, except for a huge platform, there is no way out at all, I turned around and just wanted to ask the little girl, how do we get out, who knows that the words have not yet come out, the little girl stared at us and shouted: "Don't bother our grandmother in the future, it's good for our grandmother to be in a good mood today, otherwise, none of you want to go back!" ”
After the little girl finished speaking, she slammed the door of the temple shut, and I immediately hit the spirit fiercely, and I felt cold all over my body.
When I opened my eyes, I was lying in the snow on the edge of the pool, my whole body seemed to be frozen, cold and cold, I tried to move my arms and legs, a little stiff, I could barely lift up, but I wanted to get up from the snow nest, it was impossible for a while, and the whole person seemed to be frozen into hard ice.
After lying in the snow nest for a while, I felt that my body was slowly warming, first from the feet to start warming, and then spread to the whole body, I tried to move my arms and legs again, I felt not as stiff as just now, my hands pressed into the snow, and with all my strength, I finally sat up from the snow nest.
At this time, I found that the sky was actually gray, as if it was already evening, turned my head to look around, Chen Hui and the three of them were lying next to me, and they had all woken up, but except for their eyes that could blink, their bodies didn't seem to be able to move, just like the situation I had just now, I shouted at them without thinking, "Are you all right?" "I regretted it after shouting, they couldn't have answered me.
After waiting for a while, the stupid cow sat up from the ground first, and Qiang Shun quickly sat up slowly, and finally Chen Hui was left, lying in the snow nest still blinking. The speed of recovery should be related to the physique, I was born with heavy yang qi and high body temperature, so I was the first to get up.
It was getting darker and darker, and by this time, I was sure it was already evening.
Chen Hui slowly sat up from the ground. After a few people got up from the snow nest, they looked at the place where we were lying, and they were stunned, and saw that the place where we were lying was the location of the entrance of the small cave before, but at this time the entrance of the cave was gone, and we hurriedly pulled and pulled the snow above to see again, and there was a bare mountain and rocky ground under the snow, where was there any hole.
A few of us looked at each other suddenly, Chen Hui seemed to remember something at this time, looked up at the sky, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is it getting dark this day, when we enter the cave, isn't it morning, is it that we have been in the cave for a day?" ”
Chen Hui said this, the three of us didn't speak, and no one could tell why, so he was puzzled, and then he heard Chen Hui sigh happily: "Poor Dao has been practicing for decades, and today I can see the Immortal Cave Mansion, which is enough for my life!" ”
By the time we returned to the village, it was already dark, and a few of us found that our stomachs were empty, gurgling, and our chests were already hungry against our backs.
After entering the house, the four of them sat down on their own bunks, took out food and devoured it, and at this moment, a series of heavy footsteps were heard outside, followed by a hairy black guy at the door.
How many of us are stunned, savages?
Chen Hui hurriedly put down the food in his hand and beckoned the wild man to come in, the wild man sniffed his nose, stepped into the house, squatted in front of Chen Hui and stretched out his paws. I looked at the savage and whispered to Chen Hui, "Dao Chief, does this savage go up the mountain during the day and come back here to sleep at night?" ”
"Possibly." Chen Hui glanced at me and said, "Perhaps, he knows that we are here, and he can give him a stutter, and after the goat fairy is over, he just doesn't have to be so pitiful." As he spoke, Chen Hui stuffed all the food in his hand to the wild man, and the wild man held the food in his hand and devoured it.
As soon as I saw it, I handed Chen Hui some of the food in my hand, and several people continued to eat.
While eating, Chen Hui couldn't help but sigh at the kindness of the old goat spirit and the fairy cave mansion, his eyes were shining, I saw his posture, I guess I would be excited tonight and couldn't sleep.
The amount of food for this hairy boy is really too big, the four of us only eat until we are half full, and there is no food at all, if there is no him, just our food is enough for the four of us to eat for two days.
After eating, the wild man squatted back to the corner of the wall, I looked at the corner, and tried to ask Chen Hui, "Dao Chief, do we still need to let Qiang Shun open the yin and yang eyes, ask these ghosts in the house, what is the matter with those two things buried at the gate of the courtyard?" ”
At this time, Chen Hui was still excited, listening to me ask him, he waved his hand again and again, and said: "It doesn't matter if you ask or not, who buried it, it doesn't matter, what we have to do now is to let those villagers give the statue of the goat immortal temple and incense offerings, now it's getting late, and I'll go to them to discuss it early tomorrow morning." ”
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he ignored us and took the stupid cow to do his homework. Qiang Shun and I each smoked a cigarette, lay down and fell asleep first.
I didn't say anything all night, and early the next morning, Chen Hui went out with the stupid cow, and I was still in the bed, and I heard the footsteps of the two of them, but I didn't get up.
About half an hour later, the silly cow came back happily, and in his hand, he carried a large basket of bamboo strips, and in the basket there was a basket full of steamed buns, steaming, as if it had just come out of the pot, and in the basket there was a small jar, which was pickled with wild mountain vegetables.
I asked the stupid cow, "What about Daochang Chen?" ”
Silly Niu replied vaguely: "Master, ...... speak" I nodded, and Chen Hui was discussing with the people in the village about making offerings.
The stupid cow put down the basket in his hand and beckoned the two of us to eat steamed buns, but the stupid cow hadn't eaten yet. So, the three of them took out all the chopsticks that they hadn't used for a long time, and bit the hot steamed buns with pickles, eating with a happy face.
When it was almost noon, Chen Hui came back, with a relaxed look, I knew at a glance that the matter must have been negotiated.
I didn't ask, and Chen Hui didn't tell us in detail, but Chen Hui said that we need to stay in their village for a while, and we need to cover up the temple and invite the statue into the temple before we leave, which is what the people in their village requested.
I heard Chen Hui say this, and counted the time in my heart, at this time I have just entered the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, and there is still more than a month before the end of the twelfth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and where we are now, judging from the sketch, it is already very close to the place where the bronze medal is broken, at most five or six days away, if we stay in the village for ten days and half a month, the problem is not too big, but the only thing that worries me is that I am afraid that the blind man will go over in advance to cause destruction.
I told Chen Hui about my worries, and Chen Hui thought about it and took out the evil weapon of the Luo family from his own baggage. This is before we left the town of the chef's big brother, Chen Hui specially took this thing back from the hiding place.
In the courtyard, Chen Hui used the evil weapon of the Luo family to do a small ritual, and the evil weapon showed that the blind man was in the southeast of us, and there was still a long distance from us. It seems that they haven't made any moves since the last September 9th.
I discussed with Chen Hui, it's useless for the four of us to stay here, it's a pure waste of time, should I go to find the place where the bronze medal was broken first, and when I find it, I'll come back and know it in my heart.
When Chen Hui heard this, he agreed with me to go to find it, but he didn't agree with me to go alone, he wanted Silly Niu Qiangshun to go with me. When he said this, I disagreed, how could I leave him alone in the village.
In the end, the stupid cow stayed, Qiang Shun went with me, and before leaving, Chen Hui went to the village to ask for a lot of food for us, enough for the two of us to eat for more than ten days, and gave us a lot of money. In our hands now, the most important thing is money, in addition to the money given to us by the chef before, there is also the money left by Rong Rong, especially the money of Rong Rong, which was an astronomical amount for us at that time.
However, Chen Hui didn't let us touch the money, one, this money was tantamount to Rong Rong stealing from the safe of the lame man's house, and it came from the wrong way; Second, he wanted to find an opportunity to donate the money in the name of "Li Rongrong" to see if he could accumulate some yin virtue for Rongrong under Jiuquan, and he could atone for some sins.
After packing my luggage, I left the village with Qiang Shun, Chen Hui and the stupid cow sent us to the entrance of the village and went back, Chen Hui was very busy at this time, and before we had time to say goodbye, the people in the village called him away.
The two of us left the village and headed northwest, and after walking for less than a day, a river appeared, which flowed from east to west, and at this time, the mountain was not so deep, and the villages under the mountain and on the side of the mountain gradually increased.
There are mountains on both sides of the river, and the wide river water flows through the heavy mountains, but it is a pity that it is winter, and everything is killed, and I only feel that there is a lonely river flowing between the bare heavy mountains.
Because we had plenty of food at this time, there was no need to deal with the locals anymore, and we didn't know exactly where we were going.
After walking along the river for another four days, we came to the location marked on the map, but this place looked a little different from the previous two places, just a small island in the middle of the water, and I don't know if there is water on the island.
The island is only a dozen meters away from the shore, and the locals have built a wooden suspension bridge between the shore and the island, which is one meter wide.
I walked up with Qiang Shun and tried it, the feet were soft and soft, the whole swayed, and every plank on it was black and shiny, and someone should often pass on it.
Walking up the suspension bridge to the island, I was immediately dumbfounded, there was no water on the island, and the island was full of crops, because it was winter at this time, and there didn't seem to be anything planted in the ground, but the ridges and ditches were all neat.
Although the island is not big, it is also uneven, and it is like a terraced field, and the two of us climbed to the highest point of the island, and the whole island was seen, and there was not even a grave mound.
Qiang Shun asked me: "Yellow River, are we looking for the wrong place?" ”
I bit my lower lip, took out the sketch again, and said, "That's right, this is it." ”
Qiang Shun asked again: "Then, why is there no cemetery here?" ”
I glanced at him, I knew where to go, but after thinking about it, I said to Qiang Shun, "Why do I feel that I haven't seen a graveyard since I came to this area near them?" ”
Qiang Shun looked at me and nodded.
Leaving the island, we saw an old man fishing at the water's edge, looking like a local, I handed the old man a cigarette, chatted with the old man for a while, first asked where this place is, the old man seemed to say what "Shuanghe", said that the one in front of us is called the West River (homonym), because the time is too long, I can't remember clearly, the old man may also be talking about the West River.
At that time, Qiang Shun heard it and asked him, this is the West River, is there another East River? The old man waved his hand, it is not the west of the "thing", which "west" is it, the old man himself can't tell clearly, saying that this is what their locals call it.
Later, I said, our home is also in the mountains of the countryside, as long as we have good feng shui, we can see the grave pile, you here, it looks better than our feng shui, there are mountains and water, why no one has a grave here?
