【Extra】In the catastrophe (8)
After the most dangerous moment had passed, my mind gradually became clearer, clear enough that I could clearly reproduce the glance, the person, and the face before I fell down the well.
Zeng Alain!
"Monk, let's go find Shanshan and them right away." After regaining my strength, I grabbed the monk and said, "They must be in danger, go find them and take them out." ”
"What about you?" The monk asked worriedly, I was now in a mess.
"I'm running out of energy to walk now, and if something happens, it's just a drag. You go to them, I'll go to the door first, so I'll hurry." "I know my physical strength very well, and I am completely overdrawn to the point of being overwhelmed, and at this moment, I am of no use to them.
"No, you can't go alone, it's too dangerous." The monk persisted.
I finally understand what it means to be anxious, since Alan pushed me down, then, Xiaozhi who was with her may have encountered danger, and now there is only Shanshan and Xiaoxue who can be protected, and all of us can't all die here. Thinking of this, I fiercely brushed away the monk's hand, "If I want you to go, you can go quickly, I don't need your protection, and you can't protect me, it's better to play your most important role." ”
"What is my most important role?" The monk was horrified by my reaction.
"Running errands to find someone, that's your duty, you remember." Hurry up or it won't be too late.
"Don't use this kind of agitation to drive me away, unless you tell me what happened just now, why do you know that Shanshan is in danger!"
I can't say anything until everything is clear, Alain had an unusual incident before. It's just that when I saw her today, there was more in my eyes than before, proud indifference and cold pride, no outright hatred, just a cold bystander. I can't tell the monk about this, it's too short, that moment, it's too short, so everything can only be judged by the monk himself.
"Monk, I beg you, you go to Shanshan, hurry up, otherwise we will all regret it for the rest of our lives, regret it for the rest of our lives!" I don't dare to think about it, will Alain, whose temperament has changed greatly, also find Shanshan them, they, maybe...
The July sun dispelled the demonic mist,
Tears, dripping on the wounds, pain, spreading in an instant, body, mind.
The monk stood in front of me, looked at me, and did not speak. After a long time, he turned my face, "If you want to go, I will go with you, we will go to them together, and I will carry you on my back." "In his eyes, I saw something called persistence.
What else can you refuse? The longer the delay, the less secure they became, and though I didn't know what I could stop by rushing over, maybe I just wanted to see them, and that's all.
The monk carried me on his back, and we left this place, and the ancient well of Bliss behind us collapsed silently, slowly, becoming a flat land.
Lying on the monk's not broad back, only then did he have the opportunity to stop and think about this series of things, what feelings are gone, fear, sadness, regret, all gone, since the first day, the fate of the six of us is closely linked, each of us is a part of their own body, who lives and who dies? Live and die together!
Do we really have to die together to end this experience?
The monk began to pant but did not slow down, and he reminded me from below him to call Shanshan to take a look.
I fumbled for my mobile phone in my bag and dialed Shanshan's number, I didn't expect anything to expect, but I unexpectedly connected, and I patted the monk on the shoulder and asked him to stop first.
"Hey.... Is it a baby? Shanshan's voice was far away, but clear.
"Shanshan, listen, hurry up and get out of here and go to the open space at the gate of Wanjing Garden to gather." I'll cut it short.
"What's wrong, baby." The confusion coming from there.
"It's not clear now, you and Xiaoxue will do as I say as soon as we leave there, and we'll talk in detail after we meet, okay?"
"Okay, we'll wait at the door for that half hour." Other voices came from the phone, and my nerves tightened, "Shanshan, who are you with?" "I hoped, I didn't really think about it.
"Me? I'm with Xiaoxue and Alan Xiaozhi. What's wrong? Oh, I met them just now when Xiaoxue and I were walking, maybe our roads are the same, so we haven't been separated at all. Shanshan's words clearly shattered my illusions.
Is it too late?
Anyway, let's meet first.
After telling Shanshan again to arrive at the gate of Wanjing Garden in half an hour, I hung up the phone.
"Monk, let's go to the gate of Wanjing Garden." It was not far from the gate, and at my repeated requests, the monk told me to walk on my own, and I thought that if we could get out of the Flashy Mountain alive, the people at the school would have thought that we had been robbed, disheveled, bloodstained, and embarrassed.
Thinking of this, I smiled first. The monk looked at me inexplicably, but finally smiled, "I have long thought that your smile is cute, don't be so fierce, it will frighten people." He said amusedly.
"Well, okay, then I'll laugh more in the future." If there is a future, then every day should really be spent happily.
Only, is there a future?
"Baby, what are you thinking?" The monk's voice was very gentle. Such a warm sun, but it can't warm my body, or it's too much cold buried deep in the bones, and such a gentle voice can't make my heart temporarily relieved comfort, I'm afraid, it has long been mastered by the hand of fate.
I smiled, "I didn't think about anything, I went all over the place." "This boy next to me, just a few days together, but gave me great help and courage, if, no more, how hopeful, he can continue to live, remember my smile at the moment, forget all these experiences.
It's good that before leaving this world, I can still meet such a good person, I can have such a thrilling experience, and I have a lot of regrets in life, I really want to think about my family in Xi'an, I don't know, how the school will tell them about it. Choose to wither in the beautiful summer, keep the fragrance of the season, and die with a smile in the splendor, or good.
"By the way, this is what you just fell into the well." The monk took out something from his pocket, sparkled in the sunlight, and looked at it, it was my Jade Buddha.
"Hmm, I probably accidentally fell down, you pretend first, don't lose it." It is hoped that the lost and recovered Jade Buddha can bless the monk.
Leaning on the monk, he slowly walked towards the door.
I saw that it was about to happen, the blood-soaked desolation, I smelled, the smell of death, within reach of the near ground.
Wanjing Garden, 12 noon, the sky is clear and cloudless.
The four people standing in front of me were no different from when they broke up, Shanshan was surprised by my injury, Xiaoxue cleaned my wound for me, Xiaozhi took out the medicinal oil and applied it, and Alan also diligently held the paper next to him as a fan.
Nothing is abnormal, it's still my friend, could it be that I'm just daydreaming in the scorching sun, maybe.
"Baby, how did you do this?" Shanshan finally asked.
The monk was about to speak, but I stopped him with his eyes, "It's nothing, when I went down the well, I fell." To put it mildly, he covered up the doubts in his and the monk's hearts.
"What?! Monk, you actually want the baby to go down the well!!! Xiao Zhi's temper rose again, "You're a man!" ”
The monk opened his mouth and wanted to appeal, but he was taking care of me.
"Don't talk about him, I asked for it myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to pull him, so I go down by myself." Again, the understatement was to dispel their reproach to the monk. "Are you doing well?" I glanced at Alain, her clothes were wet, "What's wrong with Alain?" ”
"Huh this?" Before Alan could open his mouth, Xiao Zhi first pointed to the water marks on Alan 's body, "She studied your spirit today and went to the ancient well, so she made it like this."
The ancient well of Bliss, which has been abandoned for so many years, can also have such endless vitality.
Shanshan took over the words and continued, "We were surprisingly successful today, after meeting Alan and the others, we found the Ancient Well of Bliss, by the way, didn't we say that we were looking for the Ancient Well of Bliss?" Why do you want us to come out here? You just said that your injury was caused by a fall when you went down the well, what well?! ”
The four of them all looked at me and the monk, and this time the monk cleverly blocked it for me, "We found the wrong one, it was just a waste well, but she just didn't worry about going down to have a look, so she fell." ”
"Oh......"
"Okay, so what are we going to do now? Continue to the Ancient Well of Bliss, or go home? Xiaoxue asked.
Alan looked at me, "Since the baby called us out, I don't think we will go to Gujing again, right?" Blinded by the sun, I ignored the indifferent pride that flashed in her eyes.
"I suddenly feel that our preparation is still insufficient, so let's go back first, since we have found the ancient well, it is not impossible to think long-term and make a foolproof plan." I'm looking for reasons for my actions.
"Okay then, let's go down the mountain, it's just in time for lunch, where are we going to eat?" No matter what time it is, Xiao Zhi can be carefree.
Taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to disperse, I grabbed Shanshan and asked in a low voice if Alain had been with them in the morning and had never been separated. Although she was surprised by my question, she gave me an affirmative answer, and they had been together until now before that morning phone call.
So, who is the one who pushed me into the well? My hallucinations, or Alan's doppelganger.
There was a slight vibration in the backpack, and I hurriedly opened it to check my phone, but there was nothing, and I accidentally touched the mysterious box inside, which was actually hot. With a soft snort and retracting his hand, the monk looked back at me, "Baby, you guys go back first, I'll go to my uncle for something." ”
"So? Can I go with you? I, I also have something to ask Master Zhe. "Obviously another excuse, I can't continue to stay here, what is real and what is illusory, I have no idea at all. Perhaps, Buddhism can quietly give me a space to sort things out.
"Hahaha, baby, I've been inseparable so early." Xiao Zhi quipped.
I smiled and continued to look at the monk, and I could see that the confusion in his heart was deeper than mine, but he still agreed to me.
On the main road, we parted, they went down the mountain, and we went to the Fuhua Temple.
Fuhua Temple, the philosopher, tea, incense, "Nine Tone Illusion".
The philosopher took the book and asked me to look at it, and I probably flipped through it, and the obscure old words, mixed with obscure words, seemed to be talking about some kind of witchcraft.
"You mean, some kind of witchcraft, right?" I'm guessing at random.
"The girl is very smart," said Master Zhe, who habitually touched his beard, "this is a kind of witchcraft, a witchcraft that has been lost for a long time. ”
"Uncle, you called us here just to tell us this, the baby just tossed a little, and he hasn't rested yet." The monk was dissatisfied.
Master Zhe looked at me with an inquiring gaze, "Do you want to hear it?" ”
"Hmm", I nodded, since I came, it's good to listen, not to mention that there is tea to quench your thirst, and sandalwood is pleasant, "Please tell the master in detail." ”
Master Liao Zhe patted the cover of the book, and a thin layer of floating dust fell, it seems that no one has read it for a long time, "This book talks about a curse method. ”
"Curse?!" I couldn't help but repeat, as if something was about to break out of the cocoon.
"Yes, it's a curse, and it's used on those who hate it most. With the blood of relatives as a guide, the blood of the enemy as a curse, and one's own blood as the foundation, curse the person you hate, life after life, reincarnation pain, you can't be reborn, you can't escape. "The master's words were flat, but they stirred up layers of uneasy ripples in my heart.
"Isn't that going to kill a lot of people? Even his own relatives are not spared. "I know that the blood that the master said means life, and it is so vicious that he wants his relatives and friends to use it as a mantra.
"And that's not all, as long as someone can cast the curse, anyone can manipulate the curse."
"Master, I don't understand."
"Hehe, that is, as long as someone can contribute their own blood and the blood of relatives and friends, a third person can also perform a spell on this basis, and the reason why this evil art has been lost may be because of this reason. Another reason is that the spell itself has too many restrictions, and in order for it to work, it must be pushed by 9 female lives over a period of five years. The nine tones of "Nine Tone Fantasy" are made by taking the homonym of "Nine Yin". The master's words were loud and clear.
"Uncle, what nine tones? It's like the Nine Yin Sutra, who else will believe this in these years? The monk expressed his opinion.
Master Zhe's face showed a hint of seriousness, "This book is divided into two books, the first one is to record the specific methods and taboos of witchcraft, and the second is to explain the consequences of those who use witchcraft. ”
"What consequences?" I asked.
"Those who use witchcraft will spend their time wandering outside the Three Realms with the cursed, feeling pain and not being able to transcend life."
"What?" I was taken aback, perhaps, this is called fairness, and while you curse others, you also put the deepest spell on yourself.
Looking at the book in the master's hand, "Master, how can you have this book?" ”
"This was a long time ago and the folk inadvertently wandered in the Fuhua Temple, after the host master at that time saw it, he felt that it was too yin and too evil, so it was listed as **, and it was circulated. I saw it a few years ago when I was drying scriptures in the temple, at that time, there were still two volumes, but yesterday, when I went to look again, I found that there was only one left, and the upper volume of the book, I don't know when it was gone. Master Zhe's tone was not only serious, but also deeply remorseful and worried.
"What does the master mean?"
"Think for yourselves, I just want to tell you about it, maybe, it will help you now, this book must be stolen by someone, then, maybe this witchcraft has already begun, some people live, some people die." Speaking of this, Master Zhe sighed, "I have decided to do a transcendent ritual at the Fuhua Temple on July 14 this year, hoping to appease the restless souls. After speaking, the master looked at me with a subtle gaze, "Girl, you have to be careful, don't believe easily, be firm, and be brave." ”
Although I didn't understand what the master meant, I still nodded.
"Nine Tone Illusions", could it be that after reading this book, Shan Tinglan and their heads were messed up again.
After saying goodbye to Master Zhe, I returned to the dormitory, it was already past 9 o'clock in the evening, and the monk sent me downstairs, and I wanted to tell him what happened during the day, but he patted me on the shoulder and told me to rest and recuperate.
Forget it, let's talk about it later.
Seeing the monk's back melt into the darkness, I turned and walked into the dormitory building.
Only our dormitory is still there on this floor, the other rooms are black, those who should have gone home a few days ago have gone back, and the lights of 303 are lonely on. Took the key to open the door, squeaked, and the smile that had been adjusted a few seconds ago didn't come in handy, only Alain sat on the bed reading a book, and the others slept on their backs.
"You're back?" Alain looked very excited when he saw me, "I've been with the monk for so long, hehe, the baby has a play." "She's joking as before, and I'm confused again, isn't Alain still the same as before?
I laughed, "Why did they go to bed so early?" Aren't you usually very active? "These people don't know what's going on today.
"Oh, they all said that they were so tired today, and they were nervous, and it was rare to have a good rest, and they just slept for a long time, and I was here to help you guard the door." Alain has a point.
"No wonder," I walked to the mirror, looking at myself dirty, "then I'll go take a shower, I'll take the key, you go to sleep first." "Whether Alain is the one who pushed me today or not, she is my friend now.
"Okay." A crisp answer.
Packed up and changed clothes, went to the bathroom alone.
Taking a cool shower in the summer is really a very happy thing. The fly in the ointment is that the bathroom light is broken, and only a dim light is on, are you afraid? Of course not, I'll just see it as a mood. The monk just returned the Jade Buddha to me, and it is now close to my chest, feeling so safe.
How comfortable is that...... Enjoying the fun of bathing, the dangerous emotions of the day have already been thrown out of the clouds, rushing to the body, washing hair, and then wiping the shower gel, just opened the lid of the shower gel, poured a little on the puff, suddenly, the soles of the feet were painful, as if there were insects biting, I hurriedly put the shower gel on the table, squatted down to investigate. Sure enough, a small piece of red, I don't know what it bites, I hate it!
In the gap between my bending, a drop of water fell accurately from the ceiling into my shower gel, and before I knew it, the reddish-brown liquid was mixing and mixing with the slippery shower gel.
Standing up, moving a little, wiping his body with a puff, "Oops, I only poured a little shower gel just now, why did I wipe it?" I regretted my carelessness, looked at the shower gel with the lid open, and didn't bother to do it again. Do it well in three times and two times, rinse it well, cover it with shampoo and shower gel, and rinse it well. Get dressed and walk out of the bathroom refreshed.
I didn't know it myself, I was already in danger.
Back in the dormitory, Alain also slept, lying on the bed, thinking about everything that happened during the day, his head was unusually clear, and the scars on his body were still faintly painful, reminding me that the events of the day were not hallucinations. It's almost over, I guess, and now it's over.
Looking at Jingjing's back, the black outline that is not very clear, if you can not die, when this matter is over, you must knock Jingjing well, it will make me so miserable!
Thinking about it, I slowly fell asleep.
Night, calm.
The next day, I was awakened by a loud banging on the door, and I opened my eyes in a daze.
God, the dormitory was full of water, the pungent smell of sour rot stimulated me to wake up immediately, looked around, it was empty, hurriedly put on slippers and opened the door, it turned out to be the dormitory aunt, she held a paper bag, said that it was a person in our dormitory to give me.
When I opened the big paper bag, it was a piece of paper.
Baby:
They're really easy to deceive, aren't they? We are in the ancient well of bliss, don't try to escape anymore, if you escape the first time, there will be no second chance, come on, we will wait for you.
Alan
Except for this scribbled note, it is fragmented, 4 Jade Buddhas.
What's even more terrifying is that Jingjing is gone!
Wan Jing Garden.
Standing in this place for the second time in 24 hours, in the valley in the distance, there was a faint sound of dull thunder, dark clouds, dense overhead, dilapidated porches, carved pillars and beams covered with insects, traces of early magnificence, abruptly desolate today. Ahead is the road that has been traveled yesterday, if the ancient well of bliss that we saw yesterday is a trap intended to lead us to death, then the real ancient well of bliss is undoubtedly what Shanshan and they have found. And now, they are waiting for me there with them.
In the backpack on my shoulder there was the Kaiguang jade Buddha statue of the Great Mercy and Grace Temple that was left, and there were only two left, plus the one around my neck, I just hope that there can be a just in case, a chance, can, let whoever escapes. In addition to this, there is the mysterious box with the tongue, and today, it should encounter its true owner.
Turn off my phone, on the way here, I have simply written what I am going to do into a text message, saving them, if no one can escape, I think, the monk will also look for me, then, it can be regarded as an explanation.
