The funeral procession, which was originally blowing and blowing, was lively and solemn. They were killed by the soldiers who had been following them, and they were given a burial for their master.

Immediately after that, the soldiers also committed suicide. So it seems. The secret here is no longer known.

Wushuang sighed: "It's really not worth dying for these dead soldiers. They are good to their masters, so they hide far away and don't talk about it for the rest of their lives. Why do you have to die? ”

I smiled and said, "You don't understand this." These dead men are extremely loyal to their masters, and they are one heart. But there is not necessarily absolute trust between them. When the master dies, they will be suspicious of each other, for fear that the other party will reveal the master's secrets. So no one believes anyone. In this life, unless they all live together and watch each other. If someone breaks away from the collective, the other people will try to get rid of him in order to prevent future troubles. In this way, it is better to die. Anyway, they are dead soldiers, and they are used to die. ”

Wushuang nodded as if he didn't understand: "They are so not afraid of death." If everyone was dead in the war, yesterday's battle would have been won. ”

I sighed: "There is not one out of ten who is really not afraid of death." Most people are still normal. There is only one human life, who is willing to die without knowing it? ”

Wushuang asked me, "What should we do now?" ”

I pointed to the rushing stream: "Do you want to dig out the person inside and see who he really is?" ”

Wushuang looked at me hesitantly: "Why do I always think it's a bit dangerous to do this?" ”

The two of us were discussing, and suddenly, Wushuang pointed to the stream and said, "Look, someone has come out inside." ”

I looked down. Sure enough, two heads popped out of the stream. They cautiously swam in the water. It can be seen that they are very shy about the underwater mechanism, and they dare not get close to that part of the water.

They made a circle and slowly climbed ashore.

Judging by the clothing of these two people. They were two of the dead soldiers.

Wushuang blinked: "There is a traitor among them." There were two people who did not die. ”

I nodded, looking at the two men with interest.

They climbed ashore and took off their black armor. Then wiped his face. Reveal your true face.

Wushuang snorted: "Why are these two people so familiar?" I'd like I'd seen it somewhere. ”

I stared at the two people at the water's edge and said lightly, "The two of them, one is a mute in the coffin shop." The other is Li Xiaoxing. ”

Wushuang nodded, his voice excited: "It's really them." Why them? Wasn't it just now that the ancient people who killed people with halberds? How did it suddenly become like this? ”

I looked at the two people who were busy at the water's edge and said, "If I'm not mistaken, we're in a dream." ”

Wushuang stared at me: "What dream?" Is it really a dream now? No, the two of us are in the same dream, so is this dream yours or mine? ”

I looked at Li Xiaoxing at the water's edge and said, "It's his." We are in Li Xiaoxing's dream. ”

Wushuang sighed, "This is too bizarre. ”

I nodded: "It's really bizarre. However, I'm just guessing. The abbot uses the Heart Sutra to wake us up. Maybe this scripture is not read to us, but to Li Xiaoxing. ”

The two of us said as we stared at the water's edge. The dumb man and Li Xiaoxing cooperate very tacitly. The two of them made a comparison. Then one person tries to intercept the stream, and the other tries to divert the water elsewhere.

I have a feeling they're going to make some big move here. Otherwise, it is enough to simply intercept the stream, and there is no need to lead it elsewhere.

After a while, the stream gradually dried up. The two of them walked slowly.

There was a lot of mud underneath that spilled up to their waists.

The two men slowly walked towards the center. Then reach out at the same time and touch it down accurately. After a while, they pulled out several shiny swords from underneath.

These swords are estimated to have been placed under the water back then. I don't know what kind of material it's made of. After all these years, there is no sign of damage.

The two of them were precise and quick. It seems to know where these mechanisms are hidden. After a while at the bottom of the mud, they were completely dismantled.

Then I saw that both of them were flushed, and their hands were stretched out in the mud, and they pulled out vigorously.

But their arms could not be pulled out, as if they had been bitten by something.

Finally, I heard a muffled thud, and a coffin emerged from the mud.

The two men carried the coffin slowly ashore.

Wushuang said thoughtfully: "Are they robbing the tomb?" ”

I scratched my head: "You see that after they destroyed the mechanism, they just dragged the coffin out." I don't feel like they're robbing tombs, they're trying to rob corpses. ”

A few minutes later, Dumb and Li Xiaoxing pried the coffin open. I don't know what material this coffin is made of, it has been underwater for thousands of years, and it has not decayed, I guess, there is no need to steal anything else, this coffin alone is worth enough.

At the moment when the coffin was opened, the mute suddenly knelt down and kowtowed a few times very solemnly. But Li Xiaoxing didn't move, casually pulled out a skull from the coffin, and looked it up and down.

I saw the skull and skull, I don't know how many years had passed. There is no flesh and skin at all. Visible, on top of the skull, there is clearly a pair of eyes. It's shining.

When I saw these eyes, I couldn't help but feel cold all over my body.

As Li Xiaoxing looked over and over, those eyes were right on me. I don't know why, but I always feel like these eyes have seen me. I couldn't help but shrink my head.

When I pluck up the courage to look at it again. I found that Li Xiaoxing had put his skull in a backpack.

During the whole process, the mute knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.

Then the two of them covered the coffin. Sink to the bottom.

Wushuang looked at the two people who were about to leave: "Are we going to follow them?" ”

I nodded, "Be careful." Maybe this time I can uncover the mystery and know why Li Xiaoxing is unconscious. ”

The two of us followed Li Xiaoxing all the way down the mountain∵ on the road, and the wind was blowing under the ribs.

At this time, we are more convinced that we are in a dream. Because the scenery around us is changing abnormally. Taiyuan, Xi'an, Fengdu...... Wushuang and I followed closely behind them, looking around for a moment familiar, sometimes unfamiliar. When I was excited. Suddenly, there was a sound of chanting in the sky.

The dumb man and Li Xiaoxing, who were walking in front, were stunned. They took two steps. And Wushuang and I are standing still.

I sighed: "The abbot is really not the right time to recite this scripture. ”

Immediately after, a huge suction force came. Wushuang and I were swept into the air like leaves in the wind. All around was the whining of the wind. We retreated sharply. Then back to the living room.

I opened my eyes. I saw the abbot reading his Heart Sutra with an anxious face.

I waved my hand: "Don't read it, we're already awake." ”

The abbot looked at us with a concerned expression: "Is there something wrong here?" Why do you fall asleep at every turn? ”

I said lightly, "We were in a dream just now." ”

The abbot said, "I know, don't you dream when you fall asleep?" ”

I said, "You don't understand, we are in Li Xiaoxing's dream. ”

The abbot looked at Li Xiaoxing in surprise: "What are you kidding?" ”

At this time, Wushuang rubbed his eyes and got up. She said, "Xu You, is what happened just now true?" Or is it just a dream of Li Xiaoxing? ”

I said, "It probably happened." Then I was dreamed of by Li Xiaoxing, and it happened to be seen by us. That skull should be something very important. ”

Speaking of this, I looked up and asked Li's mother: "You said that Xiaoxing has found a job." What does he do? ”

Mother Li shook her head: "I don't know the specifics." All I know is that he travels a lot. Follow his boss from south to north. ”

I asked her, "If that happens, you don't know who his boss is?" ”

Mama Li nodded: "I haven't met his boss, and he hasn't told me about it." ”

The abbot asked me with interest, "How is it?" Who does his boss say? Is there something wrong? ”

I looked at Li Xiaoxing on the bed and said, "If I'm not hungry wrong, his boss is a dumb man in the coffin shop." ”

The abbot was suddenly happy: "It's been a long time, Li Xiaoxing is going to the coffin shop to be a buddy." ”

I did not respond to the abbot's stupidity. Just carrying a peachwood sword and going around beside Li Xiaoxing. We didn't see everything just now. But it is also possible to sort out a general idea.

In ancient times, there was a group of dead men who buried their masters deep in the mountains. And then they all committed suicide. However, some of these dead soldiers should have survived.

These people don't know what it has to do with the dumb man and Li Xiaoxing. However, the man's grave was found by the two of them. They kept the treasures in the coffin and did not steal them, but only stole a skull. It's a strange thing.

I asked Li's mother, "Did Xiaoxing get anything back?" Something special. ”

Li's mother thought for a while: "No, he brings me money every time he goes home." The rest of the stuff was never brought back. ”

I asked Li's mother again, "Has he behaved abnormally lately?" Something that has never been done before, and now that you are doing it? ”

Li's mother thought for a while: "Recently, he seems to like painting." Then she pointed to a huge egg on the windowsill, "I don't know what kind of egg it is." You see Xiaoxing painted on it, the mountains and rivers are quite beautiful. ”

I was overjoyed: "It's okay now, I guess it's this thing." ”

I carefully removed the eggs. Knocked it with his hand. The inside looks like it's solid. I shook it twice, and it was heavy, as if it contained some kind of liquid.
