Chapter 17: The Hidden Formation
I don't know how long Brother Masakawa left the mountain gate.
I don't know when the master chose to leave and went to the legendary sealed place.
Just standing in front of the huge mountain gate, looking at the still vague mountain gate inscription, the huge paw prints are still there, I remembered the past of that night, when I first entered the mountain gate.
I told Master that one day I would personally engrave the name of the mountain gate again.
And he, can he still come back and see this day?
The snow covered the withered grass, but for such a period of time, the mountain gate was not taken care of, and it was already a little lonely and decadent, and the three of them were also warm in the past, and now this mountain gate is also a little lonely?
At this point, it seems that all the problems are no longer problems, and what remains is just an indescribable feeling.
Entering the mountain gate, even if I got out of the scope of the mountain protection array, I pulled out the withered grass step by step, and Brother Zhengchuan followed me silently, doing the same.
The two were silent, presumably thinking the same.
A staircase, Brother Zhengchuan and I walked for nearly an hour, and the withered grass was piled up on both sides of the stairs by a small pile, and on the snow, there were our deep and shallow footprints.
We didn't look back, but walked towards the familiar hall.
The courtyard in front of the main hall was also overgrown with withered grass like the stairs, and the snow overnight had not completely covered these withered grasses to the point that it was more of a human smell.
I rolled up my sleeves, and Brother Masakawa took off his heavy coat.
We walked towards the firewood room with a tacit understanding, and smiled very tacitly over the years, the most annoying thing was the so-called mountain gate cleaning, the old man of the master was unwilling to help, and the huge mountain gate I and Brother Zhengchuan may not be able to clean up in a whole day.
Now, we can't wait to do so.
Just for, this is the mountain gate in memory.
Weeding, sweeping, mopping the floor, and wiping Brother Zhengchuan and I have already had a tacit understanding that others can't reach, and it is done in an orderly manner, and time is in this busyness, passing in a hurry.
'Knock knock' is the sound of Brother Zhengchuan and I wiping the wooden corridor in front of the main hall back and forth, and in every cleaning, the wooden corridor is often the last place we clean.
Just because the master guy often sits here for a long time, hindering his hands and feet, Brother Zhengchuan and I are too lazy to talk about it, so we simply put the wooden corridor at the end to clean it.
And this habit has naturally been preserved to this day.
"Hmm, I'm tired." After wiping it for the last time, I finally threw the towel in my hand and lay down on the wooden verandah.
"Haha, yes" Brother Masakawa also made the same action and lay down next to me.
A day's cleaning, even when the body was very good, will be tired and have a sore back, not to mention today, both of us are injured people? is just the uncold feelings in my heart.
The dim oil lamps in the main hall were lit again, and the kitchen still hung the cured meat of the early years, which would not spoil for a few years at the top of the mountain.
After a lot of busyness, Brother Zhengchuan prepared two dishes, and also took out the wine that the master hid under the stove and most of the pot, after the master left, naturally no one drank it anymore.
What Master may not have expected is that after all these years, Brother Zhengchuan and I have inexplicably become good drinkers.
The food was placed on the corridor, and there was a pot of old wine from the master, and I had just sat down when Brother Zhengchuan suddenly smiled and handed a brown jar to my eyes, saying, "Do you know what this is?" ”
"What?" I can't wait to clip a chopstick dish entrance, the most familiar taste, Brother Zhengchuan's craftsmanship, and the memory of Shanmen. Delicious!
"Bad soybeans." Brother Zhengchuan opened the lid with a smile and dialed the soybeans in the jar to the plate, which was also the favorite of the former master, he left, but he didn't want the years to keep his favorite ones.
When the wine enters the throat, it is Master's favorite corn wine (corn wine), which is sweet and cold.
Combined with the heavy taste of bad soybeans, I understood in an instant why Master loved these two things the most.
It's just that he habitually looks around the corridor, how can there be this old man's lazy figure, when he is drunk and hazy, he roars and roars the lonely night of the whole mountain gate?
"It's time, Zhengling! With so many things coming together, it's time for that. "Just as I was pondering and missing my master, Brother Zhengchuan suddenly said such a sentence to me after a glass of wine.
I was still immersed in my own feelings at the time, and I didn't react, and Brother Zhengchuan's words were too unreasonable, when was the time?
So, when Brother Zhengchuan finished speaking, I just looked at Brother Zhengchuan in a daze.
In my memory, Brother Zhengchuan seems to always be the same, that is, no matter when and where, it is a faint laziness, and he rarely has a serious time, and even when he is serious, there is a feeling of light and light.
This seems to be his innate temperament, just like a few days ago, when he was met by me, he couldn't hide that indifference.
I have never seen his expression like this today, after he finished speaking, his eyes burned with a scorching light, but the whole person seemed to be carrying a burden like a mountain.
It was time, as if it wasn't my business, but like the most important thing of his life.
"Brother Zhengchuan, what's the time?" I couldn't help but open my mouth cautiously, such a Zhengchuan brother was too abnormal and even unfamiliar, I had to test it like this, and even the wine held in the air forgot to drink.
Brother Zhengchuan withdrew his gaze from looking at me and looked towards the dark distant mountain below, but his gaze was still shining.
"This is the most important thing that Master has passed down! In fact, the master wanted to complete it himself, but he didn't have time, and according to the reserved plan, it shouldn't have been so early. But fate" Brother Zhengchuan said this, and there was silence for a while.
He grabbed Master's flask, took two sips of wine, wiped his mouth, and then said to me as if he had made up his mind, "Third child, come with me." ”
With that, he walked towards the main hall, full of doubts, and followed behind Brother Zhengchuan, who took a lamp in the main hall and led me through the dim hall to the wing room behind the main hall where we lived.
Because there was no light, the corridor running through the wing room was even darker, and the only lighting was the oil lamp in Brother Zhengchuan's hand.
Kankan can only illuminate the distance around me and Brother Zhengchuan, but it is still a little vague, if it weren't for the fact that I am unusually familiar with this place, I am afraid that I will have to hit the wall when I walk.
I thought that Brother Zhengchuan was going to take me to his room, but I didn't want him to take me all the way, but I walked to Master's room.
I have been in the mountain gate for so many years, in fact, I rarely go to Master's room in my memory, Master's room is the most piled up of those bottles and cans, because I am afraid that I will be broken by naughty, unless necessary, he will not let me go to his room.
When I was a child, I thought Master was stingy.
When I grew up, I realized that those bottles and cans were worth a lot of money, and according to Master, it was really the hope of the revival of Shanmen.
It's just that when I was cleaning the room just now, I also went to Master's room to set up something, and there was no difference from when he didn't leave, except that the room was much emptyer, and the bottles and jars were gone.
Even the large number of formation books that had once been placed in them were only a few left.
I don't understand what happened to Master and Brother Zhengchuan when I was at the Mountain Gate, or did Master take something away when he left? It is said that I shouldn't have called Brother Zhengchuan to ask, but at that time, Brother Zhengchuan just perfunctory to me, saying that it was after cleaning.
At this time, Brother Zhengchuan brought me into Master's room again, and said that it was time, what did it mean?
While I was thinking wildly, Brother Zhengchuan had already pushed open the door of Master's room and led me into Master's room, he put down the oil lamp and went to the bookshelf, and by the light of the oil lamp, I could still see at a glance the four big characters written by Master himself, hanging in the middle of the room - quiet and far-reaching.
Under the banner, it was Master's desk, I walked over, pushed open the window between the banner and the desk, and a cold wind blew, and I could vaguely see a cliff line in the distance.
I just don't know if looking out from here is the direction where Master is going? Is that the mysterious sealed place at the end?
"Third child, bring the pen of the formation pattern on the table, and by the way, there is also the box of 'array ink' that I adjusted before" (specially treated ink needed for drawing the array)." At this time, Brother Zhengchuan's voice suddenly came to my ears.
I reacted all of a sudden, and I didn't care about thinking, so I quickly took the pen and the box of ink, when did Brother Zhengchuan adjust it?
And when I walked over, Brother Zhengchuan was already standing behind the bookshelf, and he didn't know when the bookshelf was removed by him.
On the wall behind the bookshelf, there are some scattered patterns like decorative patterns, and Brother Zhengchuan is holding an oil lamp and looking at these patterns.
I was a little surprised, in Master's room, there was still a hidden formation?
