Chapter 382: Sensitivity
There was only a dim lamp in the room, and it took us a long time to find an equally dirty cord from the dirty wall and light the electric light on the ceiling.
By the light of this light bulb, we noticed that the four walls of the room were lined with tall bookshelves, which had apparently been left untended for many years, with a thick layer of cobwebs hanging at the corners of the top of the bookshelves and the ceiling, and living spiders moving along the webs.
Just when we were still surprised by the environment of this room, the boy came out of the back room with a very thick book, and he answered the question that Liang Houzai had just asked him as he walked towards us: "To be exact, I am the third hundredth generation of Mindu. Our sensitivity is changed every ten years, and I only became sensitive at the beginning of this year, which is exactly three hundred generations. ”
In other words, it has a history of 3,000 years since the first generation of sendus, which can coincide with the time when Siddhartha's disciples entered the Jizo tomb.
I now suspect that the person who put the demon slaying pestle into the stone gate was the first generation of sensitivity.
As Xiao Mindu spoke, he handed me the book in his hand with some difficulty, and I quickly reached out to take it.
He breathed a sigh of relief and said to me, "The Jizo Tomb is a reincarnation of three thousand years, and now it is exactly three thousand years, and the prophecy says that when the first reincarnation ends, the disciples of the Great Holy Ancestor will come here and let the Jizo Tomb enter the second reincarnation. In the books after the Tang Dynasty, it was said that Li Er was the Great Sage Ancestor, and all of you people in the Soul Village could be regarded as his disciples. ”
Liang Houzai looked at the boy in front of him with some surprise: "Speaking of which, Tang Xuanzong did posthumously seal Lao Tzu's temple name of a 'Great Holy Ancestor', but how do you know?" ”
Xiao Mindu immediately raised his thumbs to himself, made a show and said, "I'm Sendu, there is nothing in the world that we don't know." ”
Hearing him say this, Liang Houzai smiled: "Yes, but before we entered the door just now, you said that you hadn't heard of Zuo Youdao." If you know everything, how can you not know him? ”
Xiao Mindu was speechless for a while, he hesitated for a while, his face turned red, but he still said very stubbornly: "I'm talking about big things, like this small thing, of course I can't know." ”
Liang just smiled and didn't argue with him again.
I opened the book that Xiao Min gave me, this book, in fact, looks more like a grocery store, the pages in it are some parchment, some are straw, and only when it comes to the last small part of the book, it becomes the paper that is commonly used now.
The beginning of the book was written in an unknown script, and I couldn't understand it, so I asked Xiao Mindu: "What is this talking about?" ”
Xiao Mindu said: "What is recorded in this book is some abnormalities that have occurred in the Jizo Tomb from 3,000 years ago to the present, oh, that's not right, the Jizo Tomb only existed more than 1,000 years ago, and in the early years, the locals called the tomb 'Night Mound'." ”
I put the book aside and asked him, "I've heard that the Jizo Tomb was an ancient battlefield in the early years?" ”
Speaking of which, it was the first time we met Xiao Mindu, and we were not familiar with each other, Xiao Min and Liang Houzai were still sharp when they spoke just now, but at this time, after his eyes and mine matched, I obviously felt that he was a little timid.
No way, I have followed the master for so many years, my eyes and temperament are with the master, and I am a little fierce in the eyes of outsiders, although the fierceness in us is far less exaggerated than that of the second master, but ordinary children will still be a little afraid when they see us.
I felt a little helpless, so I picked up the book again, made the appearance of reading a book, and asked the question again in an amicable tone as much as possible.
Xiao Mindu was silent for a while before responding to me: "Actually, there is a blood mound first, and then there is an ancient battlefield. At the beginning, the people on the battlefield sank into the ground, also because of the blood mound. ”
Because Xiao Mindu was a little afraid of me, and I couldn't ask him too many questions at one time, Luo Fei probably saw my distress, so he asked Xiao Mindu on the side: "What is the Night Demon?" ”
I saw Mindu shaking his head in the afterglow, and then I heard him say, "I've only read a little bit of that book, and I haven't seen it yet." ”
Liang Houzai's eyes scanned around the room, he crossed Erlang's legs, and after a moment's thought, he said to Mindu: "There is dust on the ground, but there are no books on the ground, and the bookshelves are almost empty. In other words, all these books scattered everywhere were only recently taken down by you? ”
Mindu nodded, and said proudly: "These are the books I read last night, there are so many books here, if you don't read them quickly, you won't be able to finish them." But you're also smart enough to tell at once that these books have just been taken off the shelves. ”
Liang Houzai asked him again: "You can read so many books in one night?" Can you remember? ”
Sensitivity said: "We are all very knowledgeable people, and our intelligence is not comparable to that of you mortals. If I'm in good shape, I can read a thousand books a day, and I can remember everything. ”
Listening to the words of these children, my first reaction was that children are not very old, but they have learned to open their eyes and tell nonsense. What is the concept of a thousand books a day? And being able to remember everything, this is not the human brain anymore.
However, given that I have been accustomed to all kinds of incredible things over the years, I didn't react much, just opened the book in my hand, pointed to the strange words on the first few pages and asked Mindu: "Can you understand these words?" ”
Sensitivity still looked very proud: "Of course you can, this is not difficult for Sensitivity." ”
I put the book on the long desk, helped Mindu move a chair, pointed to the book and said to him, "Well, I won't be able to finish reading such a thick book for a while, you come and see, and after reading it, tell us what it says." ”
Mindu still looked at me with some fear in his eyes, he turned his face sideways, not daring to look at me, but said, "But why should I help you, am I good?" ”
Liang Houzai was happy at the time: "Hehe, how can there be conditions?" Haven't you lived here for generations just to wait for the second reincarnation of the Jizo Tomb, and now that the people of the Soul Village have arrived, you should be obliged to help him, right? ”
"Huh?" Mindu looked at Liang Houzai in surprise and said, "How do you know?" ”
"I guess," Liang Houzai said, leaning lazily on the back of his chair, and continued: "And I also know that it was the sensitivity of the previous generation that told you that when the people from Jisoulzhuang came, you can't make them too comfortable, and if they need help, you have to put forward some conditions." ”
Min's expression became even more surprised: "How do you know?" ”
Seriously, as for how Liang Houzai came to this conclusion, I can't guess it.
Liang Houzai's answer was the same as just now: "I guess." Okay, let's read the book and tell us about it after reading it. ”
Mindu first looked at Liang Houzai in surprise, then at me with some fear, and I quickly smiled at him.
After pondering for a moment, Min Du said, "But I will not be happy about this. ”
Hearing him say this, Liang Houzai was also stunned: "Not happy? Why not be happy? ”
Just listen to the sensitivity said: "The sensitivity of the previous generation said that when you come to ask for help, no matter what conditions I propose, you will meet me, in fact...... Well...... Actually, I've always wanted something, but the old toast has always refused to buy it for me, and our money can't be circulated in your world. So, I thought that as long as you came, I would be able to fulfill my wish. ”
Seeing that Mindu looked very lost, I couldn't bear it, so I asked him, "What do you want?" ”
Minitivity quickly ran back to the back room, and there was immediately a rummaging sound inside.
Taking advantage of Mindu's absence, Liang Houzai came to my side and said to me: "Brother Dao, just now the little guy said that their money is not circulating in our world, does he not mean that he is not a person from the yang world?" ”
I shook my head: "Except for the fact that he has more spiritual charm than ordinary people, Qi Chang is no different from ordinary people." He must be a man of the yang world, and a mortal. ”
Liang Houzai nodded thoughtfully and stopped talking.
After about three or four minutes, Mindu ran out of the back room with a thin book.
When he came to me, I realized that it was a travel magazine that had been almost torn up, and the cover of the magazine was a photo of an airliner.
Mindu approached me, pointed his finger at the plane on the cover, and said to me very seriously, "I want this, the book says, people can fly in the sky on it." ”
This is an airplane, big brother! You sold me this thing, and I can't afford it, okay!
At this time, the laughter of Xian'er and Luo Fei came from behind me.
Mindu raised his head to look at Xian'er and Luo Fei, muttered "beautiful sister" to himself, and then asked me very eagerly, "Can you buy this for me?" ”
I could only smile wryly: "This thing is very expensive, I can't afford it." ”
Mindu looked at me with a very distrustful look, but when I looked at him, he avoided my gaze again, he lowered his head, and said, "But the previous generation of Mindu said that your Soul Village is very rich. ”
I smiled: "It's true that the Soul Village is rich, but the fact that the Soul Village is rich does not mean that the people of the Soul Village are also rich." However, although I can't afford to buy a plane, I can still do it if I just take you to sit for a while. ”
As soon as I said this, Min Du looked at me with great excitement and asked, "Really?" ”
I said, "Of course it's true." ”
But the sensitivity soon became a little lost again: "However, I haven't been able to leave this place for the last ten years. ”
I asked him, "Ten years from now?" ”
Mindu said: "Most of Mindu returned to their hometowns after leaving Xiaotianshan, but there are also people who went to your world and never went back. ”
Liang Houzai asked him on the side, "Where is your hometown?" ”
Mindu shook his head at Liang Houzai: "Tusi won't let us speak, Tusi said that if people outside know about our hometown, they will occupy our land." ”
Liang Houzai changed the subject: "Ten years from now, where are you going to go?" ”
"I don't know, maybe go back to my hometown, or I may go to your world." Min Du said seriously.
I asked him, "The ...... that came to us Why didn't the sensitivity in the world return to his hometown, because he went to our world, he couldn't go back? ”
Mindu said: "Originally, it was possible to go back, but Toast said that there are demons in your world, and once our people go to your world, they will have demons in their hearts, and from now on, they will never find their way home." ”
I smiled and said to him, "Is this far from your hometown?" ”
