Chapter 630: A Familiar Face
I said to Mr. Lui, "Did you notice something was wrong?" The man we were talking to is gone. ”
Mr. Lu said: "It's not just this person who is missing. The people on duty in the temple were also gone. Didn't you hear the vixen? In this temple, there are people guarding the third grandmother day and night. ”
The three of us were hesitating at the door, when suddenly I felt someone push me, and as soon as I stumbled, I walked to the temple.
I looked back. Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were standing at the door, looking at me innocently. I said angrily, "You pushed me in? ”
Mr. Lu hurriedly shook his head: "It's not me." Then he pointed at Xue Qian: "It's not him either." ”
Xue Qian made a polite look and said, "It's not Mr. Lu. Then he added, "Of course, it's not me." ”
The fact that the two of them are so surprisingly consistent makes me even more suspicious of them.
Mr. Lu and Xue Qian asked, "Zhao Mang, how is the situation inside?" Did you see any demons and monsters? ”
I walked around, then shook my head and said, "Where are the demons and monsters?" I did not see. ”
Mr. Lu and Xue Qian glanced at each other, and then walked in cautiously.
The three of us walked around the temple and found that the temple was actually very small. Although the temple gate is very magnificent, there is only one main hall in the whole temple.
The three of us stood on top of the main hall. Then he looked up at the third grandmother. Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong with the statue.
This statue is more than a foot high. Not big among the idols. But the strange thing is that there is something else on her wide palm. It's just that the lights are dim and we can't see clearly.
Mr. Lu took out the candle from his bag and lit it on the lantern. Then he handed it to me and said, "Zhao Mang, you climb up to the altar and hold it up to see what she has in her palm." ”
I looked at the tall statue and the incense burner offerings on the altar, and shook my head: "The third grandmother has enjoyed the incense for so long. Even if you are not a god, you are a person worthy of respect. I climbed straight to the top of her altar. Isn't it too blasphemous to look around? ”
Mr. Lu persuaded bitterly: "We are here to help the third grandmother this time, how can we help if we don't figure out the situation here?" You climb up, the third grandmother will not blame you, on the contrary, she will be very grateful to you. ”
Xue Qian helped beside her: "Yes, Lao Zhao." When this is done, you will be the first to do it. When I met the people of the underworld, I opened the merit book, and in the next life, Mr. Lu and I barely had a child. And you're going to be a big official. ”
I laughed and said, "You two don't talk this nonsense in harmony with each other, when I'm a fool?" ”
I said that, but I still climbed up. Wait until I can stand firm on the altar. I was stunned. I saw the third grandmother with one hand high, the other hand low, and the slightly higher hand was holding a small bottle. This bottle is about the size of a regular water glass. But because her palms are too wide. So it doesn't seem so coordinated. I even have a feeling that this bottle was put on by someone else.
On top of the other hand of the third grandmother. is holding a person. This man was very rough in his pinching, he had no nose or eyes, and he didn't even have enough clothes. But his characteristics are too obvious. I saw him carrying a large knife behind his back. One hand held the candlestick, and the other hand struggled forward, as if trying to reach the bottle.
My heart was pounding, and I couldn't help but mutter, "This is really a ghost." Isn't this villain me? ”
I looked down and found that Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were both looking at me with concerned expressions. They asked, "Zhao Mang, what's the situation above?" ”
I said, "There's something here. Then I looked back and wanted to take a closer look at what's inside. But as soon as I turned around, I saw the face of the third grandmother, and her face was clouded by the candlelight in my hand. I couldn't hold it anymore, screamed, and fell from the altar.
Fortunately, the supply is not high. Xue Qian and Mr. Lu were quick and caught me.
They anxiously asked, "What's the situation?" Is it dangerous? ”
I shook my head slowly and said, "It's not dangerous. I know three grandmothers. ”
Mr. Lu and Xue Qian asked strangely, "How did you know the third grandmother?" Where did you meet? ”
I carefully recalled that face, and my mind slowly filtered through all the women I knew. But I never remembered who she was. In the end, all I could say was, "I did see her." This face is really familiar. But I can't really remember where I saw it. ”
Mr. Lu asked solemnly, "I can't remember who she is." But what about the feelings? Does this face give you a feeling of fear or joy? ”
Mr. Lu's question is very level. We often forget about one person and one thing. But most of the emotions that this incident brought us at the beginning will be retained. Therefore, the feeling of seeing this face can be reversed from the environment we are in now. If this face makes me happy, then when I first met the third grandmother, I should have been happy, and we are not in danger now.
I stood on the ground, thought for a long time with my head down, and then said, "It's a complicated feeling. There is hope, there is gratitude, there is fear, there is fear to face, and there is guilt ......"
Xue Qian said disappointedly: "Lao Zhao, your feelings are too rich. How is it possible to feel so much about a person? ”
I said helplessly, "How do I know? That's how I feel anyway. ”
Mr. Lu pointed to the third grandmother's hand and asked, "What's in the hand?" ”
I described it truthfully.
Mr. Lu thought for a while and said, "I'll go up and have a look." ”
Then he took the candle from my hand and climbed up. A few minutes later, he jumped. There's an extra bottle in my hand.
I said, "You took the bottle off?" ”
Mr. Lu nodded: "I feel that the third grandmother has predicted a long time ago that one day you will come here to go to the bottle." ”
Xue Qian asked, "Have you seen the face of the statue?" Do you know who it is? ”
Mr. Lu shook his head: "I've never seen it." It's very strange. ”
I wondered, "Since you haven't seen it, it must be someone I met before I met you." Who could it be? ”
The three of us walked around the temple again, but we didn't find anything, so we had to go outside.
My mind is full of the face of the third grandmother, and I always feel that a figure is in front of me, ready to come out. But I can't think of anything. I unconsciously walked outside the temple gate, and suddenly I stumbled and fell.
But instead of falling on the hard road, I hit something soft.
When I got up, I saw that it was a dead man.
I was startled and quickly took two steps back. When I looked again, I saw that the streets were full of dead people. Looking at their clothes, it is clear that they are the villagers who warmly received us during the day.
Mr. Lu and Xue Qian were standing behind me, and I could clearly hear them gasp: "What's going on?" What did Ma Daoist do? ”
Mr. Lu sighed: "Ma Daoist claims to be a decent family. But he did this kind of thing, and he didn't even despise crooked ways. But...... Is this really what Ma Daoist did? ”
When I saw the dead man, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "I remember, it's Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”.!
Mr. Lu said, "What Guanyin Bodhisattva? ”
I turned around, pointed to the main hall, and said, "The face of the third grandmother is exactly the same as the face of Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”
Mr. Lu grinned and said, "Zhao Mang, there are too many idols in the world. The faces of the bodhisattvas are also very different. The world can only distinguish Guanyin Bodhisattva through guò her clothes and gestures...... Isn't your way of looking at your face a bit unreliable? ”
I took the bottle in Mr. Lu's hand and said, "This is the Bodhisattva's pure bottle." ”
Xue Qian said: "Lao Zhao, don't be so far-fetched. ”
I shook my head and said, "I'm not far-fetched. Do you remember? The Yin Ghost Woman boiled Xue Qian's father's vertebrae, and then the three of us saw different visions. That time, Mr. Lu saw Sanqing, and I, I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva. ”
