Chapter 20: Temples

It was a chubby man, about thirty years old, harmless to humans and animals. It makes people feel close at a glance. He was drinking tea, and when he saw me coming, he quickly stood up and said, "Xie Ling, I'll go first, you still have guests, so don't bother." ”

I was in a hurry, and I wanted to say something, but I didn't care about him, and hurriedly said, "Jieling, I found the whereabouts of a soul refining bead again." ”

Xie Ling was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand lightly, signaling me not to speak. I know I've done it. Coughed, a little embarrassed.

The fat man had already walked to the door, and stopped. Turning his head and smiling, he asked, "What's the matter with the Soul Refining Bead?" ”

"Lao Lu, you should be busy." Xie Ling waved him away.

This fat man's original surname was Lu, and he laughed: "Okay, you have a bell, and you still want to eat alone, and you are not a good thing." Okay, leave you alone, I'm gone. He smiled and opened the door and left.

"Who is this man?" I asked.

Xie Ling smiled, his expression was a little dark: "Don't be afraid." ”

I looked at him and said, "This man is a bad man." ranked fifth, we call him Fifth Brother Lu in our circle. ”

"Huh?" I was shocked, that fat man looked very ordinary, but it was actually a mistake?

"He's a ghost?" I asked in a trembling voice.

Xie Ling smiled: "Yin is not the same as a ghost. Like Bai Wuchang, that is the ghost of the underworld, and Lu Wuge is a living person, a bit similar to Lao Gao in Longcheng. These are the people of them. They all have psychic abilities, have their own identities and jobs during the day, and can travel to the underworld at night to do things for the underworld. "し岩し已更新

"Ignore him, you say, what's going on?" Unlock the bell.

My eyelids jumped for no reason, and I felt a feeling of unsteadiness. The fat man surnamed Lu just now, although he smiled very cutely, I always felt that there was something hidden in his eyes. What I'm going to talk about next is related to the life and death of the copper lock, and I'm a little hesitant.

He took three sticks of incense in front of the shrine and lit them, bowed to the shrine in meditation with the incense in his hand, and then came to the door and stuck the incense in the crack of the door.

He turned to look at me, "Say, I've sealed the door." Your mouth and my ears will never be known by a third man. ”

I hesitated. Thinking that the bell can be trusted, he told the matter of the copper lock 1510.

He had already heard of the first half of the copper lock experience, but the second half of the magnificent wave was the first time he heard it, and he listened to it condensed and very serious.

After finishing speaking, the sky was over, and Xie Ling sighed: "I really didn't expect that things would be so complicated." ”

"Is the demon in the stone cave practicing the art of concealing into immortals?" I asked.

Xie Ling nodded: "Judging from your description, this is it." I have a new understanding of this kind of practice, in order to hide into an immortal, you must use the Soul Refining Bead. Lin Wenmei is like this, the demon is like this, and the stilt man later is the same. ”

"What is the origin of this Soul Refining Bead?" I asked.

Xie Ling thought about it for a while, and still said to me: "There is a treasure in the underworld, and it is called soul refining. These soul refining beads have become legends in the underworld. Why is this happening, because hundreds of years ago, the soul refining beads were stolen one after another, and they fell from the underworld to the red dust of the world, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

"Where is Lin Wenmei's Soul Refining Bead now?" I asked.

"I've been sent back to the underworld." Xie Ling said.

"What are you going to do with the gold beads that have appeared now?"

Xie Ling said: "Encounter is fate, and if you don't meet it, what kind of fate can you talk about." The whereabouts of the gold bead are just your hearsay, and no one knows where they are. I don't have the energy to care about it. If you encounter it in the future, you will talk about it, and if you can't touch it, forget it. ”

"Jieling, are you going to Southeast Asia with us?" I said excitedly, "With you, we have the bottom in our hearts." ”

Xie Ling shook his head, a little depressed, he walked to the window: "Luo Dao, I still have some things, some very urgent things." ”

What's wrong with the bell? Ever since he was stabbed by Tianhai Guangfang, he always felt a little depressed, as if he had something on his mind. In my opinion, Xie Ling is a person who undertakes big things, and big things are also weighty for him. What could be stumbling him?

"What's wrong with you? Do you need my help? I asked.

Xie Ling didn't laugh at me, he was a little moved, and said softly: "I once said that after the puppet master, I will accept you as an apprentice, and it seems that I will break my promise again." ”

I smiled and said, "What do you have to explain to me about the copper lock?" ”

Xie Ling was stunned and said: "This matter involves nearly a hundred years of history, and it is unbelievable throughout the ages, I have nothing to say." Luo Dao, if you have the opportunity to go to Southeast Asia with the four of them to find a man on stilts, no matter what happens, remember four words and follow fate. ”

When I came out of the bell, my chest was stuffy, and I always felt as if he was carrying something very heavy.

I stayed at home for two days, and I was about to celebrate the New Year. My sister Luo Xiaomi's school has already been on vacation, so I told her to buy New Year's goods and go home together.

After talking to Luo Xiaomi on the phone, I was about to go out when the phone rang, and it was a copper lock.

Copper lock said excitedly on the phone: "Lao Luo, I found it!" That place was found! ”

I didn't react for a moment.

"It's the place where stilt men practice, the temple of Southeast Asia!" Copper Lock said.

Look at the time, I rely on it, it's a coincidence that the Chinese New Year is coming, and I don't know how long this trip to Southeast Asia will take.

"You hurry up, Mr. Pan said to meet each other, pack up your things and prepare to go, and come back for the New Year after finishing your errands!" Copper Lock said hurriedly.

I hurriedly called Luo Xiaomi back and said that I had an urgent matter now and couldn't go. She complained about me. I got into a car and hurried to Pan Dayong's place.

My address is in the city, which is the office building of the Pan Group. When I arrived, were all the people? There was a lot of noise in the small conference room, and the four of them were there, all excited and discussing.

Seeing that I had arrived, the brass lock pulled me to sit down, turned off the lights in the room, and played the slideshow.

The first image shows a golden temple photographed on the spot. I recognized it at a glance, it was the building that Pan Dayong and Sun Jie saw in their dreams.

In the photo, the sky is blue and the clouds are light, the temple is majestic, there are various archways, and there are a few cars parked at the door. With colorful flags fluttering on the flagpole and tall palm trees with subtropical characteristics next to it, I was fascinated by it, and the place was a fairyland.

The next few photos are the interior of the temple. The Buddha statue enshrined in the temple is particularly small, and the visual inspection is one meter high, not like our mainland, the Buddha statue of the temple is tall and beautiful, and the Buddha statue of three or two meters is not ranked.

The hall is brightly lit, some people in red clothes are beating drums, and in the middle is a professional dragon dance team dancing. The scene is exactly the same as what Sun Jie saw in her dream.

In the next photo, one of the temple's monks is dancing with a lotus-shaped candle.

A staff member pointed to the slide and explained: "This is the Vajra dance danced by local monks, which is used to pray for blessings." ”

The scene in the next photo is even more peculiar, with several believers holding water ladles and pouring water on the head of a Buddha statue. The staff explained that this is also a ritual of local Buddhism.

Looking at it, I came to the back photos, and on these photos, there were huge groups of pagodas. You can see that the body of many pagodas is hexagonal, magnificent, and the relief stone carvings on the tower body are very exquisite. The person taking the photo did not climb the pagoda, but simply turned the focus to the maximum below and took a few close-ups. There is one of the top of the pagoda, which is empty on all sides, there is no wall, and you can vaguely see the candle flame burning on it, which looks very mysterious.

The staff explained that these stupas are very important places in the local temples and that ordinary tourists are not allowed to climb the pagodas, and they must get permission from the guru.

"Where is this temple?" I asked.

"It's called Ipoh, and it's the fourth largest city in Malaysia," the staff said. The biggest feature is that there are many mountains. There are many mountains, many forests, many temples, and many Buddhas. When we arrived, the locals told us that according to legend, the only ghost gate in Asia was there. ”

"Ghost Gate?" I'm interested.

The staff said: "These temples are said to have been built to suppress the ghost gate, and there are many gods and ghosts in that place. He said to Pan Dayong: "Mr. Pan, we have already contacted the local Chinese newspaper "Minsheng Daily", and after we get there, they will be in charge of our activities." Food, accommodation, and tour guides are all taken care of. ”

Pan Dayong nodded with satisfaction and praised a few good in a row.

If you want to go out, you have to apply for a passport and prepare luggage, and Pan's Group has all the stops. Now that I have found my destination, I am not in a hurry, and it will take about a week to process the procedures.

In the following days, I went to Pan's Group every day, borrowed their office to check the local information on the Internet, and went there several times, I got acquainted with the people in the office, and they thought I was a new employee.

The formalities are almost done, and I don't need to worry about what I want to take, and Pan's Group has a team, from public relations to bodyguards. Pan Dayong has money, but he is capricious, and even he brought his son with him, saying that he would go out to see the world together.

In fact, those of us who understand the inside story all know that Pan Dayong is afraid that he will not be able to come back once he goes out, so he will not leave regrets by taking his children there.

Before leaving, I called my family to tell me that I might not be able to go back for the Chinese New Year because I was going on a business trip.

The eldest brother told me to be careful outside, and the sister-in-law also said that I should come back as much as possible, and I will always have a place for you at home. My heart was warm when I heard it. To be honest, this trip to Southeast Asia, I was still very relaxed.

I don't think the problem is big and should be solved satisfactorily. I'm in a cheerful mood, and I don't have the gloom that I used to feel like I used to be scared.

Our group set off from Beijing and flew directly to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Arrived at the place six hours later, the weather in Kuala Lumpur was so nice, sunny and lukewarm. We changed into short shirts and short sleeves and looked for a hotel to stay.

The next morning, having a hasty bite to eat at the hotel, we took the train to Ipoh.;

Those things in the underworld
