Chapter 40: The Millennial Serpent Cypress
Some things, if not said earlier, can easily cause misunderstandings or miss the opportunity. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info I walked a few steps up, let the second uncle also come over, I can't tell if he noticed the thin and tall expression, so I said, "Do you see if there is any problem with this step?" You can help me come and have a look. ”
The second uncle walked up to me, carefully examined the steps I said, and said, "There is nothing wrong! Then he looked at me and winked at him and asked me if something was wrong with my eyes. I opened my mouth, but I didn't say a word, and the second uncle asked, "What's wrong with you kid?" Say whatever you want! If you have something wrong with your eyes, you rub it vigorously. ”
My second uncle, alas, I really convinced you, why are you sometimes smart and sometimes confused, but I think the light here is too dim, and he can't see the autumn waves I secretly sent him. I organized my words and glanced around, only to see the tall, thin man looking this way, and that strange smile appeared on his face again, which made my heart furious, but the smile quickly disappeared, the same as before.
The tall and thin man beckoned to this side, "What are you two talking about over there!" Elder Zhang called you over. At this time, we heard Zhang Lao shouting to this side: "Come here, let's discuss the next move." ”
The second uncle wanted to know what was going on with this ghost gate, so he trotted to Zhang Lao's side quickly, and I didn't continue to talk about it, but I was always on guard against the tall and thin man, if he plotted against us, I would cut it first.
The Ghost Gate Pass is the entrance to the underworld that Zhang Lao just said, Tong Xiangyu asked Zhang Lao if he could identify the Ghost Gate Pass, Zhang Lao smiled and said, Of course I can't see it, if I can see it, my little apprentice will not be tragically killed. Tong Xiangyu asked again: "Isn't there anyone in the world who can identify the ghost who closes the door?" ”
Zhang Lao nodded and said: "To be exact, it should be like this, the ghost gate is already a thing in the underworld, and only ghosts can see the ghost gate." ”
At this time, I suddenly thought of something, so I asked: "Elder Zhang, according to what you said, none of us may be able to see the ghost gate, but I have a treasure, maybe I can see it." ”
Zhang Lao was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What baby?" Take it out and take a look! I pulled the wooden box out of my cuff, pointed at it, and said, "This is it." ”
Zhang Lao looked at it and said dejectedly: "I thought it was something, it turned out to be a wooden box." ”
The second uncle smiled: "Elder Zhang's words are wrong, there is a red girl in this wooden box, and she is a ghost." ”
Zhang Lao frowned and said, "There is still such a thing? Take it out and let us see. ”
The second uncle nodded at me, I opened the wooden box, and the puppet inside was still lying there quietly, and said in my heart, Red Girl, this is not up to me, if we want to continue moving forward now, we must get your help. I whispered into the wooden box, "Red girl, you've been in there long enough, come out and get some air!" ”
After waiting for a while, there was no reaction at all, could it be that she was asleep? The second uncle looked at me, I shrugged, a little helpless, could it be that the red girl found out that I was a fake Young Master Chen?
The thin and tall man laughed on the side and said, "Young Master Chen, you can't do it, you said that there is a ghost inside, you let us see it!" Did you lie to us? It's no joke at this time. ”
I was embarrassed, and worried that the Red Maiden had discovered my false identity, so I defended myself, "This ghost inside listens to me!" I asked her to come out, she came out, let her go back, she went back, I asked her to go east, she would never dare to go west, she might be sick today! ”
The tall and thin man laughed again: "I've never heard that ghosts get sick, so do ghosts go to the doctor?" ”
The second uncle said, "Red girl, you just come out and let everyone meet!" The sun is shining outside! Come out and soak up the sun! Young Master Chen is looking forward to you! ”
At this moment, the puppet trembled, emitted a puff of red smoke, and rose leisurely, transforming into a human form, floating in the air, but always nearby, not far away. Zhang Lao was taken aback, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and hurriedly asked, "It turns out that there is still this thing." ”
The red smoke gradually turned into a man, his feet on the stone steps. The red girl asked, "Young Master Chen, you called me out, what happened?" I introduced the people around me, the red girl was polite, bowed slightly, and slowly said, "The little woman has seen a few." ”
Tong Xiangyu asked the second uncle: "What is the origin of this girl?" How do you not seem to be living in this era? The second uncle said: "This girl named Red used to live in a very closed place, with little communication with the outside world, and if you want to tell her story, I'm afraid I can't tell a basket of stories." ”
Zhang Lao hurriedly said: "Red girl, don't be polite. The thin and tall man saw it, his eyes were round and round, and he was almost about to roll out, but when he remembered that I introduced her to him as a ghost, he was suddenly confused, and he couldn't believe his eyes, so he hurriedly asked Zhang Lao: "Master, is this really a ghost?" ”
Zhang Lao touched his beard and said: "You are the same as your junior brother, you are usually lazy and lazy, and you don't listen to the teachings of the teacher, I mentioned before, the difference between people and ghosts is that ghosts have no shadows, people have shadows, ghosts fall silently, and people land with sound." ”
The tall and thin man looked carefully, and found that the flashlight did not cast a shadow on her, and asked curiously: "Master, I heard that ghosts are all blue-faced fangs and bloody mouths, why is this ghost so dignified, it simply subverts our impression." ”
Zhang Lao said: "There are many kinds of ghosts, in general, there are good ghosts and evil ghosts, good thoughts are good ghosts, and evil thoughts are evil ghosts. The red girl said, "What did you tell me to do here?" I had to go back to the wooden box before dawn. ”
I looked around, it was pitch black, and I didn't know if it was day or night, so I said to the red girl, "Can you tell the difference between day and night here?" ”
The Red Maiden looked the same, but she couldn't stay outside all the time, the wooden box was her shelter, and even in the dark of night, she couldn't leave the wooden box for more than an hour. The wooden box is just like the black room that Young Master Chen arranged for her, she can't leave for a long time. Zhang Lao said: "We invited you out because we asked for something. ”
The red girl replied, "If there is anything to ask, you are their friend, that is, my friend, and I will do my best if I can do it." Zhang Lao said with a smile: "There may be a lot of ghost gates hidden around, mortals can't see the ghost gates, please help us take a look." ”
