Chapter 1: The Death of the Old Monk
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and a man and a woman were seen in the woods supporting an injured old monk walking briskly through the woods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info And the trees behind him rattled, and it seemed that someone was following closely. At this time, the old monk was injured and fell to the ground due to exhaustion.
The man and woman stopped and helped the old monk to rest under a big tree, and the boy asked:
"Master, you're okay, you're not lightly injured, let's rest first, you can't go anymore."
The old monk vomited a mouthful of blood at this time, and said in a trance: You should flee quickly, if he catches up, it will be difficult for you to save your life, and you can't be his opponent at all.
The girl next to her cried and said:
"No, you can't! Master, we can't leave you behind, we're going to die anyway, it's better to fight until the last moment. ”
The old monk's breathing became more and more rapid, and seeing that he was about to ascend to heaven, he grabbed their hands and said:
"As long as there is one day to live, there is hope, don't give up your life, and the hope of defeating him is all on you."
The girl wiped her tears and sobbed and said:
"The Master is no match for him, so what else can we do to defeat her? We can't win against her! ”
The master tried to keep himself awake and said:
"All things are mutually reinforcing, and there is always the power to fight against them. First of all, you have to have a fearless heart in order to have the basis for victory. It was destined that the old man would die here today, and there was nothing to struggle with, but the old man died well. You may not know that the old man has been practicing for many years, and his body is already beyond the realm of mortals, as long as you make proper use of my body, this will be the key to your victory. ”
The boy was very puzzled and asked:
"Master's words are reconciled? Is there anything special about using your body? ”
The old monk said with the last breath of his life:
You must keep my body, and then take it to cremation, after cremation you will get the power of the old man's life, and remember, don't let him get the old man's body, otherwise he will be invincible, and the world will be in chaos. ”
After saying that, he tilted his head and died. The girl next to her cried bitterly, and the boy picked up the girl with tears in his eyes and said:
"Let's find a place to hide the master's body, and then we can escape, maybe we can escape. In the end, they covered the old monk's body under a large tree with dead branches and rotten trees, and then continued to escape. The woods were very large, and they ran desperately, but they remained in the woods all the time. The moon was dark and windy, the visibility was very low, and they tripped several times because of potholes and stones on the road.
And in the woods not far behind them, they could be sure that someone was following them, and they kept looking behind them as they ran, for fear that the people behind would catch up, and who was chasing them behind? How could an old monk vomit blood and die? What kind of master is it, the three of them are not her opponents!
Suddenly, an inexplicable force behind them knocked them to the ground, and they quickly got up and continued to run without looking back, and finally ran out of the woods after several difficulties, and the sky began to slowly break dawn. They ran to a road and saw a car coming this way in the distance, and they kept waving to it. The car stopped in front of them, and it was a middle-aged man, who saw that they were ragged and covered with wounds, so he asked:
"Who are you, how did you get covered in injuries early in the morning on this rarely visited road."
They looked at each other, and the boy said:
"We came here yesterday to camp and last night we got away in the woods with friends, and the forest was very dark at night, and we stumbled all night, so we made it like this. Uncle, can you please give us a ride, we are going to the city. ”
The uncle glanced at the two of them, the girl was still a beauty, and it was estimated that she would not be a bad person, so she agreed. So they left the woods in the uncle's car, but their hearts were still thinking about the corpse of the old monk in the woods, and the words that the old monk said before he died.
It was already eight o'clock in the morning when they returned to the city, so they went home, took a shower, changed into a clean set of clothes, and went out. After breakfast, they chose to drive back to the forest they had just escaped from, and before going to the gas station, they bought two barrels of gasoline and put them in the car, and when they passed the hardware store, they bought two one-meter-long and wide iron sheets and put them in the trunk of the car. They decided to retrieve the old monk's body, because if what the old monk said was true, his body would be very important.
They drove back to the entrance of the forest, by which time the sun had risen overhead, and the sunlight had penetrated the entire forest. They got out of the car and walked slowly into the forest, very cautious and often looking around. The man told the woman that it was noon now, and he shouldn't show up, so let's slow down. So they quickened their pace to the hiding place of the old monk's body.
They brushed aside the stumps and fallen leaves, and the old monk's body was in front of him, although the old monk had ascended to heaven, his expression was still very peaceful, as if death was not the end of his life, but let him go to a higher country. They worked together to help the old monk up, and half-moved and half-mopped the old monk's body to the car.
After placing the body in the car, they thought about what the old monk said last night, and the boy said to the girl:
"Last night, the master said that he needed to cremate his body, and after cremation, he would get his lifelong strength, what do you think we should do?"
The girl thought for a few seconds and then said:
"There must be a truth in the master's words, we might as well follow it and cremate the master's body. But we have to find a place where no one is around, and we can't send it to the crematorium. ”
The boy nodded after hearing this and said:
"I see, let's go to the foot of the hill ahead, there is not a single figure there."
After saying that, they drove to the foot of the mountain they mentioned. They now gathered a lot of dry wood and hay around and piled them up, and then put the two iron pieces of the guard box on top of the dry firewood, and then put the body of the old monk on the iron block. They thought to themselves that maybe they needed to use the ashes of the old monk, so they prepared iron pieces and collected them easily after they were cremated.
They took out the gasoline from the car, put it in the firewood, and lit it. Due to the effect of gasoline, the firewood burned after a while, and soon turned into a raging fire, but the color of the flame was different from the norm, especially the flames around the corpse were even more colorful and radiant, like stars in the sky, dazzling, which surprised them.
The fire burned for nearly an hour, extinguishing as the last bit of starlight vanished. They then took a closer look at the tin sheet, which they had expected to be a pile of burnt bones. Unexpectedly, an oval-shaped five-colored stone appeared on the iron, and the surface of the stone also emitted a faint colored halo, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, as if breathing. The boy picked up the strange colored stone, looked at each other, and said almost in unison:
"What the hell is this?"
What is this? Who are these men and women? Who is the old monk sacred? What was this strange multicolored stone left behind after his body burned out? Who was the formidable opponent they faced last night? How did the old monk get injured and die? It all goes back to that fire.
