Chapter Twenty-Three: I Can't Do It
I didn't ask much, and silently followed her to a small hill temple. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info there is no incense here, looking at the broken temple gate. The dusty offering table and the stilted Buddha statues speak of the desolation of the place.
Long Xue went straight to the main hall, and then stood behind a headless Buddha statue. I took a closer look, there was a very small offering table, full of small gourds, the gourd mouth faintly had a faint tooth mark, next to a large handful of pine nuts scattered, a pile of moldy fruits were placed randomly, and a small wooden sign that was half broken could be faintly seen, and the words on it seemed to have been deliberately erased.
"Qingwen is a female ghost created by me as a prototype, combined with some memories and illusions, in a sense, I have created this image with my heart, maybe her appearance is also because of Xiaoyu's obsession." Long Xue said as she took out the small wooden plaque and gently rubbed the blurred handwriting on it with her hand.
"When I was a kid, I used to see strange things. I remember once I saw a snow-white cat lying quietly on the roof of my second aunt, and the next day my second aunt gave birth to a very cute little boy, he cried when he saw everyone, but he smiled when he saw me...... "Long Xue muttered to herself with a blurred look in her eyes.
"Because I see those things a lot, I don't have any friends, so I always go to and from school alone. Until I was ten years old, one day it suddenly rained heavily, and I was forced to hide in this temple, which was the first time I saw Xiaoyu! He's extremely pretty, no, I should say perfect! He also seems to have come to this temple to hide from the rain......" Long Xue said slowly, her eyes full of tenderness.
It turned out that at that time she met a cultivated sable, the sable that had just been transformed into a human form called itself Xiaoyu, because it had never been in the red dust, so it was almost no different from a child, it saw that Long Xue was not afraid and slowly established a friendship with it, and Long Xue gradually had a little more smile on her face. However, the good times did not last long, and frequent contact made Longxue finally fall ill, and when many attempts for medical treatment failed, someone suggested that Longxue's parents go to the well-known Ge Banxian to ask.
Ge Banxian soon went everywhere Longxue was inadvertently sucked in the essence because he came into contact with the Yin Spirit Spirit, and the only way was to drive that thing away. Xiao Yu, who overheard these on the beams of the house, decided to leave Longxue, but before it could step out of the ancient temple, Ge Banxian had already led the villagers to find the scourge.
In the face of the delicate and clear sable, the villagers were a little unable to do it, but Ge Banxian said that the reason why this village had a bad harvest all year round was because this thing had absorbed too many dragon veins, and only by completely eliminating it could the village be nourished and the villagers could enjoy happiness. At the instigation of Ge Banxian, the villagers finally set fire to the ancient temple, and when Long Xue appeared in front of the temple gate, the fire had gradually spread.
Long Xue desperately tried to rush in to save Xiaoyu, but her parents dragged her to death, and finally she watched Xiaoyu wave at her holding the small wooden sign she had carved with her own hands, and then disappeared into the fire, and then she fainted to the ground. In a daze, she dreamed that Xiaoyu smiled and walked away slowly, she woke up crying, and then found herself lying on the hospital bed, and the things she had ever seen, such as Xiaoyu, such as the white cat, were all around her and looked at her quietly, followed by a burst of dazzling light She found that she seemed to have lost the ability to see those things.
"Later, the city allocated funds to rebuild the community, and the villagers really left with a large amount of compensation, but this abandoned ancient temple was somehow gradually forgotten, and finally the developer ran away with the money, and the original development of more than half of the project was finally reluctantly completed, but the plan to renovate this barren mountain was shelved indefinitely." Long Xue finished speaking, and put the half-piece of wooden card back again.
"Why are you talking to me about this?" I asked, looking at her quietly.
"I don't know why, I always feel that these secrets will never be told to others in my heart, it seems that I will still be afraid of the lonely Hongchen guest!" Long Xue sighed inexplicably: "Maybe it's because of the touching scene, seeing Su Tiannan accompanying you in the form of a yin general, I feel lonely inexplicably, or maybe I miss Xiaoyu!" ”
"Don't be afraid, you still have me." I don't know how I got that out of here.
Long Xue looked up at me for a while, suddenly smiled, and then whispered who wants you to accompany him, turned around and ran away, I picked up the half of the wooden card, muttered a few words in my mouth, and then put it back and ran out.
Long Xue was sitting on a rock not far away, and I walked over and hugged her from behind, and she seemed to struggle a little and then quickly gave up. After being silent for a long time, she suddenly said faintly: "Are we okay like this?" It's not that you don't fall in love with someone because you're lonely, besides, your Ran Ran has just been gone for a short time, you are really worthy of her like this, aren't you afraid of what others say? I didn't say anything but hugged her harder, she sighed faintly, and then wrapped her hands around mine, quietly looking into the dark distance.
I don't know how long it took like this, but she whispered let's go, so I got up and walked back slowly with her. The moment I reluctantly closed the door, I seemed to see her bow her head slightly and quickly wipe her eyes with her hand. After hesitating for a long time, he didn't knock on her door, and returned to his room with mixed feelings, looking at everything empty, and a touch of sadness crossed his heart inexplicably.
Then I called Wang Modao, and he told me not to go to strange places casually these days, and he would come to teach me how to use Yin Jiang in seven days. I felt that he always had something to say, but he hung up the phone in a hurry.
The days passed quickly, and seven days later, the morning sun had just shone into the balcony of the bedroom, and Wang Modao had already appeared at my door in casual clothes. After a hurried breakfast, he asked me to find a reliable person to take us out of town, so I called Luo Xingpeng, who I hadn't contacted for a few days, and soon he appeared in front of us in his own public. Wang Modao was just waiting for something, and after a while, Long Xue appeared in front of us with a small wooden box, Wang Modao clapped his hands and then let us all get into the car. After Luo Xingpeng asked where to go, Wang Modao bit his ear very strangely and gently, and then Luo Xingpeng made an OK gesture and started the car.
I looked out the window, the car was already on the highway, I asked a few times but couldn't figure out where to go, so I simply ignored it. Long Xue squinted and shook her eyes, and she really fell asleep on my shoulder, and I simply clasped my hands and closed my eyes to recuperate. When the car finally stopped, I realized that it was already bright outside, and we seemed to have arrived in another city.
Wang Modao didn't say much, just walked briskly in front, and Luo Xingpeng was guided to the garage, I looked at Longxue who was rubbing her eyes, and then quietly reached out to wrap her willow waist, she just twitched nervously all over her body, and then walked forward with her head down and half paralyzed.
Then I looked around carefully, it seems to be a large mansion, although I can't see the specific style, but I can still occasionally see some buildings with great historical heritage, it seems to be an ancient mansion or an antique mansion. Just thinking that a huge lotus pond appeared in front of us, the white lotus flowers were particularly conspicuous under the dark night sky, and occasionally the breeze blew, one by one, like dancing fairies in white.
Then Luo Xingpeng came to us under the guidance of others, and then a click sounded, and an arched bridge appeared on the lotus pond of Nuoda, Wang Modao walked up without hesitation, I looked at Luo Xingpeng, he nodded and walked up closely, I hugged Longxue and immediately followed. Although the arch bridge is a wooden plank structure, it is like walking on the ground, admiring the lotus flowers while walking, and my heart is inexplicably quiet.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a hazy light, and when I got closer, I realized that this was an octagonal pavilion building, eight strings of lanterns hung in eight directions, and there was a table of eight immortals in the pavilion, on which there were more than a dozen side dishes, Wang Modao smiled at us and then picked a place to sit down. Once all four of us were seated, two women walked around bringing food and drinks, and then smiled and motioned for us to eat.
Although he was very curious, Wang Modao had been mysteriously not speaking, just eating silently, we looked at each other and then let go of our stomachs and ate. When we had finally finished eating, two women with lanterns led the way, and soon led us to a magnificent lake.
A yacht waited quietly on the lake, and after we got on the boat, the yacht quickly turned around and headed towards the middle of the lake. When the yacht docked, I found that there was a mist-shrouded mountain in front of me, and the air was unusually fresh, and there were a few small novices at the foot of the mountain holding lanterns waiting, and when I saw Wang Modao coming, I respectfully saluted and shouted to Uncle Sixth, and then turned around and led the way.
I followed with a puzzled face, and then Luo Xingpeng was arranged in another room, and the three of us continued to follow to a square, where dozens of people gathered, and everyone suddenly stopped communicating when they saw us coming, and the first few shouted in unison to Wang Modao: "The first disciple of the ornament!" Wang Modao just waved his hand, and then the lights on the high platform in front of the square suddenly became bright, and several old men walked up in turn.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked Longxue in a small whisper with some confusion.
"I don't know, I guess it's something between Buddhist and Taoist disciples." She also responded with puzzlement.
"The way of heaven is reincarnated, and good and evil are not the same. We have now reunited this generation of young disciples, and of course there are a few people who are unable to come because of trivial matters, but the form is urgent. I believe that you have also noticed that the number of demons and strange things in various places has increased significantly recently, and it seems to be a little difficult to control, plus the incident during the previous water and land puja," the old man in the middle said slowly: "I hereby issue you some self-defense tools now, so that you can better exorcise demons and evil spirits and return to the mortal world a peaceful place!" ”
As soon as the old man's words fell, a voice suddenly sounded in the air: "Wait! I am not convinced by this so-called identity of the first great disciple! "I followed the prestige with everyone, only to see a figure slowly landing on the ground, and when he raised his head, I almost exclaimed, it was Tan Yong!
"Criminals! Don't be rude! The old man second from the left scolded loudly.
"Master! Have you forgotten that you worked hard to teach your apprentices back then, why did he only play games all day long, and he also drew talismans everywhere, why can this kind of person be regarded as the number one disciple? Besides, why would such a sacred mission be reduced to having to face with some unrelated mortals? They are not even lay disciples, if there is really a big disaster, will they come forward? Master, the apprentice has long sworn that he must let his sect flourish, and today I will regain the title of number one here! Tan Yong said with a stroke of his hands, and two women suddenly walked out behind him, which were the pair of sisters of the Wind and Snow Pisces we had seen before.
"First disciple Wang Modao, do you dare to accept my challenge and fight with my two subordinates?" Tan Yong looked at Wang Modao with cold eyes, and at this moment I suddenly noticed that Wang Modao's hands were trembling slightly, and his lips were a little pale, looking extremely nervous. "Wang Modao, you shouldn't be able to do it, after all, this is your only nightmare so far!"
Then the two women rushed over quickly, their four hands swiped quickly, and suddenly two streams of air, one white and one green, instantly pierced Wang Modao's neck, and in an instant, two bloody cuts were revealed in two places on his neck. And he has always been calm, but he didn't want to fight back at all, Tan Yong continued to shout: "This is the so-called first disciple? How can you convince me? If you don't say anything today, you're welcome! (To be continued.) )
