Chapter 40: See the Little Monk Again

I have been living in confusion and thinking for the past few days, and I know that my inference should be very close to the truth, but I know that I have never received the truth.

What is the truth? I have no way of knowing that the most serious problem right now is not that I can't guess the truth, but that there is no one who will tell me the truth. Or that no one knows the truth about this at all.

After preparing three days' rations in town, I bought a backpack and got on the bus and headed for the Great Wall of Shuiguan.

If my time judgment is correct, the night after tomorrow will be the time when Yao Guangxiao will take "me" and Rujun to cross, and if Yao Guangxiao is right, the whole process of Rujun crossing the Ming Dynasty will only last less than a second. In other words, in Rujun's opinion, she must have traveled through the past and back, but in my opinion, Rujun has always been there.

After getting off the bus, I walked in the direction of the Stone Buddha Temple, looking at the familiar road and the Great Wall of Shuiguan in the distance, I had mixed feelings.

Before I reached the entrance of the village, I suddenly saw a dark brown thing appear on the mountain road in front of me, and when I looked closely, I realized that it was a small monk wearing a thickened dark brown monk's robe!

"Little monk?!" I was shocked and blurted out. Because I saw that this kid was coming for me at all, and my beast head mask was in my bag, after all, that thing was so conspicuous that no one would want to wear it on the bus in broad daylight, and of course I didn't take it out.

So I couldn't escape the eyes of the little monk, from the perspective of time, the current little monk must have already seen the "me" in the state of the ghost, that is to say, now that I have seen me back from the dead, the little monk will definitely not be able to accept it.

However, to my surprise, the little monk did not show any shocked expression, he seemed to be very indifferent, walked up to me with a normal face, and smiled: "You are back?" ”

I looked at the little monk. Suddenly I felt that there was a deep meaning in his four words, what did "you come back" refer to?

"Little monk, shouldn't you feel strange?" I asked in a low voice, looking at the little monk's face that was red from the cold, and I couldn't accept his reaction: "No. Do you know me now? ”

"I know, you're Lin Yang." The little monk said with a smile.

"But you shouldn't have known me the night before, should you?" I asked again.

The little monk smiled: "Yes, Lin Yang." ”

"But the person you know me should be a terrible ghost, and I should be the Lin Yang who is ready to cross over!" I looked at the little monk and continued.

The little monk smiled slightly: "But you are also Lin Yang, aren't you?" ”

I looked at the little monk. It's completely messy.

At this time, the little monk suddenly took out two slender things from the cyan satchel on his body, and when he looked closely, they were actually two emerald green cucumbers!

The little monk bit one himself, and then handed me another one, and said, "Don't worry, eating a cucumber defeats the fire, I grew it myself, without any chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it is natural!" "Besiege the commander and lead to death.

I first shook it for a while, and then I felt that I was indeed a little hungry, so I quickly took a bite of the cucumber, but the cucumber felt very good in the mouth, which made me feel a little familiar.

The little monk didn't explain much to me, but just turned around and said, "Come with me, Master said let me take care of you first in the past two days, so that you are not allowed to go anywhere." ”

"Master?" It suddenly dawned on me that it was very likely that the little monk did these things only because of Yao Guangxiao's instructions.

And in this way, a lot of things make sense, the little monk is very likely to have heard Yao Guangxiao say that there are now two "mes" in this world, one is me in the state of a ghost, and the other is me who traveled back from the Ming Dynasty and came back from the dead.

I followed the little monk into the village of the Stone Buddha Temple, where the little monk lived was not the narrow Stone Buddha Temple, but a small courtyard in the middle of the village.

The yard is still two sets of courtyards, the inner yard is the place to live, the outside yard grows some vegetables, and there is actually a small greenhouse, no wonder you can eat cucumbers in winter.

The little monk was very polite, and after arranging for me to sit down in his house, he asked with concern, "Lin Yang, are you hungry?" ”

To be honest, I was indeed a little hungry all the way, I didn't plan it well, I actually forgot that the Stone Buddha Temple is also a tourist area of the Great Wall, the accommodation and catering prices here are very high, although I brought some food myself, but if it wasn't for the little monk, my accommodation cost would be a waste of a lot of money in the past two days.

The little monk enthusiastically said that he would help me make some hot dishes to fill my stomach, and that I was not allowed to eat the dry food I brought, but I couldn't stop it, so I had to let him go.

I didn't expect this Yao Guangxiao's apprentice to be such a good person, and he was indeed a very caring little guy.

Half an hour later, the little monk served two plates of vegetables and two bowls of rice, and the dishes were simple, a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and a plate of cucumbers.

I looked at the eggs, and suddenly asked strangely, "Little monk, monks are not allowed to eat eggs, right?" ”

"Yes." The little monk said vaguely while holding a chopstick egg and eating it in a big gulp.

"It's not...... Can't you? I asked again.

The little monk smiled slightly: "It's okay." ”

Speaking of this, the little monk took another bite of the egg, and then pointed to the plate: "If you don't eat it again, I will eat it all." ”

I had no choice but to compromise and hurriedly followed the little monk to sweep away the eggs and tomatoes on this plate.

During the meal, I tried to ask the name of the little monk, and the little monk's answer was always the same: he was called the little monk, or the little apprentice, or the little fat man, and there was never another name, and the villagers of the Stone Buddha Temple also called him that.

I finally relented and didn't ask any more.

After that, I stayed here in peace, and the little monk didn't talk much, especially about his master, and even less about his master, and when we were together, we did more things like "can a monk eat eggs", and waited until the night when the crossing began.

At night, the little monk was very vigilant and told me that this time the matter was very important, and that I should not let unrelated people sneak in, and I was actually an irrelevant person, so I must not reveal my own identity.

I put on my mask, and then I came to the mountain behind the Stone Buddha Temple with the little monk at night, waiting for Yao Guangxiao to appear here with "me" and Rujun.

Seeing such a scene, I always felt very strange that there are really two mes in this world.

After a while, I saw Yao Guangxiao coming from a distance, he was about to enter the cave directly, while the little monk was standing on our way to meet "me" and Rujun, everything was exactly the same as that night.

Touching the mask on my face, I suddenly thought of this night, before the "me" I crossed over, I saw a person wearing a mask, a familiar person, and now I finally thought that this person was actually myself.

Beneath an unfamiliar mask, it was actually my own face, and even thinking about it gave me goosebumps all over my body.

And when the moon rose high, I saw myself and Rujun coming from a distance.

Of course I had to hide, hide in the shadows and watch "our" moves.

Both "I" and Rujun had some hesitation or nervousness on their faces, which made me nervous too.

Finally, under the guidance of the little monk, they walked towards the cave where Yao Guangxiao was, and I knew that the crossing was imminent, so I began to move my body towards the little monk who was across a mountain stream from them......

However, as soon as I had walked a few steps, I suddenly felt a rather cold air current blowing through my back.

This was a sign of the arrival of a terrible ghost, and I knew in my heart that I was now a living person, so this feeling was even stronger!

I hurriedly turned around, but when I turned around, I saw a woman covered in blood!

Powerful ghosts, very high-grade ghosts, and what's even stranger is that I vaguely saw this high-grade ghost.

Silver quality, five elements of fire, shoulder-length short hair...... This female ghost looks so familiar.

"You...... You are...... Cat demon? I was shocked and asked, a little disbelieving my own eyes, why was the cat demon now covered in blood, as if it was seriously injured?
