Chapter 33: The Man Who Sealed
"How do you know?" I asked with 'Hua' Qingyu outside the 'door' - Purple You Pavilion
Without speaking, Barsow came out of the hut and came to the side of the fence, where the sun was shining at this time. He pointed it out to us. In a very hidden corner of the fence, there is a shallow shoe print.
"Just in the house. I inadvertently glanced back and saw the shoe prints on the outside from that angle. Someone climbed over the fence to get in, but didn't enter the house, probably just walked around the yard twice. Barso.
We inspected the floor together and found several more imperceptible shoe prints. Judging by the imprints, it was an adult man, wearing hiking boots. Strangely, though, the soil is soft. The footprints he left behind were so shallow that they could not be detected without careful observation. We deduce that there are two possibilities. Either this man is consciously walking lightly on tiptoe, or this man has a deep kung fu and walks on the snow without a trace.
Barsau's face was full of sorrow: "This man must be the stranger who came to the village." This is the place where the master practiced during his lifetime, and the villagers know that they almost never come here. What the hell is this stranger trying to do? Come with me to the 'cave' in the back, which is the retreat of the Guru. ”
We came out of the courtyard and climbed over the hillside, the terrain slowing down. Follow Barsow along the path to a cliff. In an area at the bottom of the cliff, a rough fence of low wood encloses it, and behind the fence is a closed 'cave'.
The 'cave' doesn't look very big, maybe less than two meters high, and the width of the left and right is relatively narrow, maybe barely enough to fit a fat man. This 'cave' is still half a meter away from the ground, which is strange. The surface of the 'cave' has been built with red bricks, forming the surface of a wall. On this red brick wall, I don't know who used dye to draw a white lotus with three 'flowers'. I don't know how many years the wall has been built. The wind and rain are blowing, and the white lotus 'flower' is about to lose its color, and I can barely see the imprint on it.
Seeing this lotus 'flower', the three of us were all stupid and looked at each other.
You must know that the incineration of the Guru was not long ago, and the ashes showed signs of lotus 'flowers' for only a few days, and the qiē in front of me shows that many years ago, someone predicted today's scene! And he painted the pattern of this miracle in front of the spiritual 'cave' of the Guru's retreat.
Things are getting worse and worse.
Barsseau stepped over the fence, walked to the hole, patted the brick that sealed the hole, and put his ear to it.
"When was this 'hole' sealed?" 'Flower' Qingyu asked.
Barsow shook his head: "I don't know. I haven't been here for almost ten years, and the Guru never mentioned it. ”
"Why do you want to seal the 'cave'?" I asked.
Barso continued to smile wryly: "I don't know. ”
'Hua' Qingyu came to the mouth of the 'hole', 'touched' and 'touched' the brick on it, reached out and grabbed a brick with his right hand, and gently tugged it. The bricks are too old, and the bricks are not cemented in the middle, so under a pull, the bricks are pulled out for a long time. Black ash fell from the surface of the bricks. This kind of thing is bonded instead of cement, and it seems that the quality is very poor and not strong.
'Hua' Qingyu pulled out a brick, and the surrounding bricks lost this fulcrum and began to loosen, staggering each other, and the entire brick wall shook and was in danger of collapsing.
"Come over here and help!" 'Flower' Qingyu said.
He lifted his feet and unloaded the bricks from the top of the 'hole', which he wanted to tear open.
I looked at the side and felt that it was not appropriate, and when I was hesitating, Barso grabbed his wrist and said sharply, "What are you doing?!" ”
'Flower' Qingyu shook him away: "Don't you want to see what's inside?" ”
"This is sealed by the guru, there must be a reason for him, and we can't open it at will." Barsow said.
"You're wrong," 'Flower' Qingyu said, "Don't you think it's very evil here?" Why does the omen of the three lotus 'flowers' appear here? What the hell is hidden here? I just opened it and didn't destroy it, and we saw that we had a number in mind, and then resealed the bricks. ”
Barsow looked at me, and I nodded, "Open it and take a look." ”
He sighed and nodded. The three of us went up together and started unloading bricks down. There was almost no adhesion between the bricks, and they opened as soon as they were pulled, and in order to prevent unnecessary collapse, we carefully began to unload from above, and it didn't take long, and the ground was full of bricks.
Unloading and unloading, the contents are gradually 'revealed'. Barsow was the first to notice, and he exclaimed, and we hurried over. I saw that behind the bricks, a pile of black 'colored' twine was 'exposed', and it was a mess. The three of us looked at each other, and the horror in our hearts was indescribable, because we all recognized it, it was human hair!
In other words, a few years ago, the Guru secretly sealed the 'cave' where he was retreating, and sealed a person here?!
'Flower' Qingyu was about to continue to unload, but Ba Suo grabbed him: "I can't move!" We don't know the identity of the person here, but what if it's an evil demon that the guru has painstakingly sealed? ”
"Look at your cowardly appearance," 'Flower' Qingyu said, "Even if there are demons inside, they will not be resurrected because we have removed the bricks." If the formation was so fragile, the things inside would have had a lot of chances to escape all these years. Besides, all the evil spirits are your imagination. Rest assured, we'll just take a look and see what it is, and we'll seal the brick right away. ”
I said next to me, "That's what the old 'flower' said. Just take a look. ”
Barsow had no choice but to pick up the wall with us. The more bricks are held, the more space is 'exposed' in the back. First a large mass of 'messy' unkempt hair, then a forehead, and then a pair of tightly closed eyes.
Judging from the current situation, it should be a man who is sealed behind. The long and 'messy' hair covers the whole face, a pair of eyes hidden behind the hair, and the cheeks are very thin, I don't know if I am dead or alive.
We continued to unload the bricks downward, and the removed bricks were mainly focused on the person's face. It didn't take long for the person's entire face to be 'exposed'.
Barso and I were doing it, and 'Hua' Qingyu stopped, and he looked at the man in the 'hole' suspiciously. After looking at it for a while, he slowly reached out and swept the man's hair back in front of his cheek, so that he could 'show' his face with full clarity.
'Flower' Qingyu trembled his hands, his expression looked strange and stiff, he stared at the man in front of him tightly, his lips were shaking. Taixiu wood rowing.
Judging by his appearance, he knew this man.
"Who is he? Do you know him? "I asked, confused.
'Flower' Qingyu smiled bitterly, took a breath, and nodded: "This person is my confidant." Although there is a one-sided relationship, it can be regarded as a confidant who is rare to see in his life! ”
"...... is he?" I asked.
"He is the predecessor of your 'sect' faction, you don't know him." 'Flower' Qingyu looked at me: "This person is An Ge!" ”
What the? As soon as I heard the name, I almost jumped up, and quickly picked off two more bricks, and the area of this face was exposed.
The man in front of him had thin cheeks, his hair was disheveled, and he was covered with a big beard. Although I have seen the photos of An Ge, he in the photo is young and handsome, and he can be called Xiao Xian's 'meat', and the person in front of him is disheveled, his beard is unshaven, and his face is black and yellow, and he looks like a person.
And even the most imaginative person would not have thought that An Ge would appear in such a situation...... What's going on?
"Could it be that the strange man in the village is him?" Barsow asked in surprise.
Along the way, he had also heard us mention Ange's name, so he knew about who it was.
'Hua' Qingyu suddenly saw his old friend, and the old friend looked like such a ghost, he was a little crazy, and said very unceremoniously: "How many years has An Ge been sealed here, how can it be a stranger who has only recently entered the village?!" But how did he end up like this? Isn't he immortal, is he here...... Sitting? ”
Listening to him, my heart also sank, Xie Ling fortunately didn't follow, if he found out that his master, who had been missing for a long time, was actually sitting in an inexplicable 'cave', what would he do?
According to the spleen 'nature' of the bell, it is impossible for him to lie on the ground and cry. I shook my head, I couldn't imagine what he would do.
I felt a chill, the bell stayed in the temple and didn't come, such a chance 'intertwined', could it be because of Ange in the dark?
'Flower' Qingyu patted An Ge's face with his hand, and An Ge closed his eyes tightly and did not react. I cautiously reached out and 'touched', and An Ge's skin was stiff and dry, like a piece of weathered wood.
He showed no signs of life, no breathing, stiff and shriveled, and anyone who looked at it was a mummy.
A strange man who claims to be immortal and has lived for thousands of years is silent, sitting in a 'cave' in a remote snow-capped mountain in Nepal. This qiē is simply unimaginable with common sense.
Together, we peeled off all the bricks in the middle, revealing Ange's entire body.
He was wearing a tunic from more than ten years ago, which had rotted out of shape, and 'exposed' a large area of skin inside. His whole person is in a meditative posture, sitting upright in the 'cave', the posture is very standard, at first glance, it looks like a stone Buddha carved here.
Let's just say that he is dead, but the aura he exudes makes people not feel fear at all, but has an unfathomable sacredness.
Barso actually knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him three times. I remembered something, and quickly knelt on the ground. In any case, An Ge is a senior of the 'Sect' faction, and he can be regarded as my grandfather, and it is not an exaggeration to kowtow a few times.
After I knocked it, I knocked three more for the unraveling bell who was not there.
