Chapter 32: Going Back
"Looking back, why?"
An old voice sounded within me, calling me out of my sleep. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
I opened my heavy eyelids and found myself lying on top of a stake, much smaller than before.
In front of me stood two men in black and white robes, a man with a delicate face and an old man with gray sideburns.
"Venerable Master, what are the chances of success like this, is it big?" The man's face was quite nervous, and he asked the old man.
The old man turned his head and glanced at me, as if he didn't notice any sign of me waking up, so he touched his chin and sighed: "The Tao is not chaotic, God does not refuse"
"What do you mean......" the man asked, apparently not understanding.
"I hope this kid can have a good home in the future, and he can also pass on our sect" The old man finished the last sentence and stepped out of the door.
The man behind him saw him leave, walked up to me, and when he saw me open his eyes, he suddenly laughed, and then left the room too, leaving me alone.
I tried to stand up, but I found that my limbs had already been nailed to the stake, and I could not move a single bit, but the not so strong will supported me, and I could not sleep.
I don't know how long later, in my daze, at the door of the room, walked in the man I had seen earlier.
He walked up to me and pulled out two magatama from his clothes, the tip of which was extremely thin, and it seemed to be stained with a lot of dried black blood.
"Want to be famous?" The man couldn't hide his maniacing laughter at me, "Dream, stinky old man! ”
With that, he squeezed the magatama in his hand and thrust it into my eyes.
"Poof! Laugh at! ”
The sound of piercing the naked eye sounded, and I felt that I had no sensation all over my body, except for the inside of my two eyes, which seemed to be burned in a thousand ways, and I could no longer open them, and I could no longer see the pain in this world.
"Stop!"
The old man's voice came to my ears, followed by the sound of flesh being knocked away.
"Oops," the old man's sigh rang in my ears, and he stroked my face and picked me up, and I didn't know where I went.
And I, although I didn't see any exterior scenes, felt so strangely that I felt so warm in my arms that I couldn't help but feel sleepy and fell asleep.
……
"Sweep away the leaves of the withered tree today."
One of the older Taoist priests in the temple handed me the broom in his hand, and I took it by feeling and bowed to him - this is the prescribed etiquette.
I walked to the door step by step, and since I lost my eyes, it seemed that I had also lost everything in the world.
But I have never hated anyone, and no one is powerless to change what God has defined, so I can only accept it with an open mind.
I took the broom and stopped and moved, and with the sound of my ears, I swept together the dead leaves that had left their roots.
Until the sound of the man's footsteps came.
At that moment, I seemed to have vision and looked my head at him.
This is a young man with a confused face, who does not seem to be from this era, and the clothes he wears are quite different from mine, but I am not surprised.
Ever since I was sensible, there have been such people in the Taoist temple from time to time -- all of them have been told to me by my senior brothers.
Almost every once in a while, or every other season, people with strange costumes come to ask to meet the Taoist Venerable of the "Half Grain Rice Taoist Temple", but they are all stopped one by one and invited back several times.
"Am I going to let him go too......"
I stopped what I was doing and walked in front of him.
"Why is the donor here?" I asked respectfully, clearing my throat.
"Long time no see," he smiled when he saw me, and even reached out to touch my head.
"This ......" I took a few steps back, keeping my distance from him, and only the Dao Zun who raised me dared to touch me like this since I was a child, which made me a little frightened.
"Now," he said, tilting his head and pointing to the dead tree above my head, "do you remember who you are?" ”
"Me?" I was stunned for a moment at what he said, "Me? ”
When he saw me replying like this, he sighed, pointed his finger to my eyebrows, and said, "Since you still can't think of it, then I'll tell you."
"Tell me?" I was even more puzzled, "What did the giver tell me?" ”
"I'm you," he laughed even more arrogantly, hugging me into his arms, "You, that's me!" ”
I couldn't resist and was pulled by him.
At this moment, I clearly felt that my body and soul were stuffed into another body, and I became another person with the same consciousness.
After a long time, everything that existed in front of me became nothingness, and my eyes were restored to their original state.
When I opened my eyes and looked around, there was no so-called Taoist temple, there were no dead trees that had kept me wandering for a long time, and even the broom in my hand no longer existed.
Yes, it's just broken memories of the past.
……
"Hadron are you alright?" The bandits stood in front of me and helped me to my feet.
I touched the back of my head, felt a hard pain, and couldn't help but scream.
"Where is this?" I asked as I forced myself to tell him I could handle it.
"We're going out, there's an exit ahead," the bandit said, gesturing to the spot behind me.
Hearing this, I hurriedly turned my head to look, and found that there was a white light flickering not far away, and a cool breeze was blowing, and I was happy for a while.
I got up and thought back to what had happened, all I remembered was that I had fainted from the bandits and had a strange dream, but none of that was more important than escaping.
The bandits let me follow him and led me out of this damn darkness.
As soon as he stepped out of the mouth of the flickering white light, several deafening dog barks came from his ears.
I subconsciously looked and saw an old acquaintance - a leopard with hair standing up.
"Damn," I was a little scared.
"How did the passage come to this hellish place?" I jerked the bandit and asked.
"Where is this?" Seeing my excited appearance, the bandit asked curiously.
"Evil Trap," I continued, "it's so strange that we left here, so why did we come back??? ”
The bandits listened to me, and only then did they react, but it was too late.
The leopard seems to have some power here, and when it sees me, it calls a group of other evil animals to follow it, and makes us both enemies.
"It's a leopard anyway, it's kind of a heads-up!" I swallowed my saliva and shouted, I didn't have time to dwell on the reason, thinking about how to call Uncle Lou here.
