"Who is he?" I asked, pointing to the beggar.

"I don't know," Xiong Dahai said, "and some people call him 223." ”

When the beggar heard someone call him, he looked up, and my heart was beating when I saw it, this man had extremely long hair, and his face could not tell how old he was, and it was possible that he was thirty or fifty years old. It's good to say, but what frightens me the most is his face. He had a lot of sores on his face, which at first glance looked like chilblains, but on closer inspection, it was not.

Because these sores on the face form one round pattern after another, at a glance you know that it is not a natural growth, but out of some artificial design, these patterns are spiral-shaped, the periphery of the sore is very large, and the circle spirals to the center to become smaller, which looks really shocking.

I looked into the man's eyes, and he was looking back at me, but he couldn't say a word. This man wasn't crazy or anything, I could read the emotion in his eyes, a kind of despair that fell into the abyss and couldn't see the sun.

"What's wrong with him?" I stumbled and asked.

Xiong Dahai said: "Do you see the pattern on his face?" ”

I nodded, suddenly realized something, and said, "It can't be a contagion, right?" "At this time, I remembered that Brother Jiu was here, Brother Jiu was infected with the corpse poison of the corpse demon, and he was about to explode and become the source of the epidemic, but fortunately this terrible scene did not happen.

Xiong Dahai looked at me with a somewhat confused expression: "I don't know what it is." All I know is that the pattern on his face is a seal, representing a seal of bondage. Someone used his body as a container and sealed something terrible inside. ”

I shuddered as I listened.

Xiong Dahai said: "The guy who did this kind of thing must be a bastard." ”

"How did he stay with you, and how did you get here?" I asked.

Xiong Dahai said: "After we separated in Dandong, I left the cemetery, and my heart hurt so much when I thought of my daughter-in-law, I got drunk all day long, and I was unconscious. Then one day I didn't know how to get to Benxi, in a place called Guanyin Pavilion Reservoir, I was drunk again, and when I woke up, I woke up from freezing, it was very cold, and I slept at the door of a temple. When I woke up, I regretted it very much, this is a sacred place of Buddhism, even if the temple is small, it cannot be defiled at will. I was about to leave when the door suddenly opened, and a small novice came out and asked me if my name was Xiong Dahai, saying that the host was looking for me. ”

Xiong Dahai told me that at that time, he was suspicious, he had run all the way to Benxi, and no one knew about it, so why did a temple host suddenly know that he was there. No one in this world cares about him, he has no father, no mother, no brothers, even the master doesn't know where to go, he finally has a daughter-in-law, and he died young, and now he has nothing but an ID card on his body, not even a mobile phone. How did this monk know what his name was out of thin air, and he knew that it was at the gate of the temple.

He is a person who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he thinks that if he comes, he will be safe, this is a temple, not a tiger's den in Longtan, and he will enter it when he enters.

He followed the little novice to the back of the meditation room, and when he entered, he saw an old monk.

When he saw this old monk, he was stunned, he knew this monk.

Hearing this, I asked who it was. Xiong Dahai waved his hand: "Don't ask, this old monk has passed away, and I don't want to spare his name for the mess." ”

Xiong Dahai followed his master to Wutai Mountain many years ago and had a relationship with this old monk. This old monk is indeed a high-ranking monk, and seeing him bear the sea is much more relieved, he greets the old monk.

The old monk asked Xiao Shami to go out, closed the door, and then said to Xiong Dahai, Xiong donor, the old man has something to ask for.

Xiong Dahai asked what was the matter.

The old monk opened the door at the back of the meditation room, and there was a small space inside, and a person was squatting with his knees in it. Xiong Dahai was taken aback, and at first glance he could see that the pattern on this person's face was some kind of seal.

He asked the old monk what was going on.

The old monk said, Xiong Shizhu, this person has a great relationship, related to the common people in the world, as you can see, there is a thing sealed in his body, I don't know what it is, there is a master who asked me to send this person somewhere. Now that I am terminally ill and dying, I can let go of everything else, but I can't do it due to physical reasons, and I am still in my throat. Today, I know that the bear donor will come here, but because of fate, I will give up an old face and sell an old man's affection, hoping that the bear donor can protect this person to the destination and hand him over to the next person.

Xiong Dahai wondered and said, Elder, isn't it just to send him to a place, it doesn't matter, since the old monk said that it was karma, I naturally have nothing to say in fate. It's just that I don't understand, who are you going to give him to? Why pass it down like a baton? I'll just deliver it directly to where he wants to go, so I don't have to bother.

The old monk said, I don't know the specific reason for this matter, and I am entrusted by someone to be a loyal person, and this person has a great relationship and cannot be sloppy.

Xiong Dahai is a cool person, ordinary people must not agree to this situation, and he will make a fuss for no reason, but he doesn't care, first, he respects the old monk as a person, and it must not be a traitor; The second is that he is now alone, floating with the wind, and he is idle when he is idle, so it is better to help him.

Xiong Dahai asked, what is this person's name, where is it sent, and who is it going to hand it over?

The old monk said, I don't know what this person's name is, I only know that he has a code name called 223, and he will be sent to the junction of Shenyang and Liaoyang, and the specific location is written on paper.

As for who will be handed over next, the old monk doesn't know, but only says that someone will pick it up when the time comes.

No matter how many things this old monk can't say, one two three, Xiong Dahai took this 223 out, 223 was very obedient, and he left as soon as he took it.

The old monk suddenly said: "Master Xiong, this trip to Shenyang is afraid that it will be nine deaths, you have to be careful." ”

"How?" Xiong Dahai raised his eyebrows.

"This 223 is very important, and the reason why we protect him step by step is because there are still many bad people looking for him. The last person who handed it to me told me that there is a ghost hall in Jilin, called Hongyi Hall, and the incense boy at the entrance of the hall is looking for this person, at all costs. The old monk said.

Xiong Dahai smiled: "It's just a young person." Elder, since I promised you, I will naturally get things done, so let those rats come. ”

The old monk said with a solemn face, Xiong Shizhu, nine deaths and one life, you must not be careless.

Just when Xiong Dahai led 223 out of the temple gate, he heard the shouts for help from the novices inside, and he knew that the old monk had passed away without looking.

Such a high monk, on his deathbed, Xiong Dahai's original joking heart was also put away, and he vaguely felt that the water here was not ordinary deep.

Later, he came here with this 223, which is this well. The current situation is that he is waiting for the next person to take over, and as soon as he sends the person out, he will complete the task.

Hearing this, I said, "Brother Xiong, you're not right, when you first found me, why didn't you think I was here to take over?" Instead, I think I'm a member of the Red Clothes Hall. ”

Xiong Dahai smiled, with a beard on his face: "Brother, don't rely on my brother to tell the truth, you are at your current level, you want to take over my task, to be honest, it is a little worse." When you came down, your face was full of terror, and the soles of your feet were fluttering, and you were not a person who could do great things. To be honest, if you really take over, I won't feel comfortable handing people over to you. ”

I was so angry that my nose was crooked: "Brother Xiong, you are really telling the truth." ”

At this time, a woman's voice came from the wellhead above: "Feng Ziwang, Feng Ziwang, don't scare me, are you there?" ”

It's Liu Jiajia, I didn't expect this girl to really come in over the fence.

I turned on the flashlight and looked at the watch, yo, before I knew it, it had been more than forty minutes. Don't say that other girls are worried, it's really been too long.

"Who?" Xiong Dahai raised his eyebrows.

"A friend of mine," I said, "is a long story. ”

I walked under the mouth of the well and shouted to the top, "I'm fine, I'll go out in a moment." ”

"Huh? What's down there. Liu Jiajia shouted: "Are you okay, do you want me to come down?" ”

I sweated and shouted to the above: "Auntie, don't make a mess, I'll go up immediately." ”

Xiong Dahai said: "Brother, since you have nothing to do with this matter, let's go back." But before you go, you have to tell me how you ended up here, this is very important to me, I want to know why I brought 223 here. ”

I sorted out the language, now is not the time to talk at length, try to use short and clear words to tell the whole thing, from Liu Jiajia sleepwalking, to Li Blind Interior landscape painting has not woken up yet, I went to the field to check.

Xiong Dahai was silent during my narration and did not speak for a long time.

"This well is a bit mysterious," I said, "and when I looked at it just now, I found that the water of the well does not reflect light, but it can show my shadow." ”

Xiong Dahai sighed: "Your experience is really bizarre, it seems that why you brought this person here is indeed very meaningful." The problem that the well water you mentioned is not reflective, I found out when I came here, and it's normal that you don't know the reason, so I'll tell you a story. ”

I asked what it was.

Xiong Dahai said: "Have you read Dream of Red Mansions? ”

I don't know what he said about this, I shook my head and said I hadn't read the original book, only the TV series.

Xiong Dahai said: "Dream of Red Mansions remembers such a thing, there is a person named Jia Rui, who is greedy for Wang Xifeng's beauty, and as a result, Wang Xifeng has rectified it, and he has only one breath left, lying on the bed and dying, by this time he has not forgotten the woman, and he hides in the bed every day. When he was about to lose his breath, a lame Taoist priest came and gave Jia Rui a mirror, called Fengyue Baojian. ”
