Chapter 263: The Funeral The 19th before the supplement
The abbot claims to have healed us with a passage of scripture. We don't want to admit it, but we have to think about it.
Last time Li Xiaoxing was unconscious, after the abbot recited a scripture, Li Xiaoxing actually woke up. This time, the two of us were also unconscious, and when we heard the abbot chanting, we actually woke up. Once is a coincidence, so what is twice?
When I was in the cornfield, I once saw the abbot show his might, but at that time, his demeanor and language were very unfamiliar, it was like a different person, and I always thought that those golden beads controlled him. When he returns to normal, he is still an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary. Could it be that he already has some divine power in him?
Wushuang looked at me, and then said, "Xu You, do you remember, when the two of us were about to wake up just now, we heard the sound of a monk chanting scriptures?" ”
I nodded: "Indeed, the sound of monks chanting." This monk should be the abbot. ”
It's good that we don't say this, but when we say this, the abbot is even more proud. A vigorous boast.
I sighed, "It's a bit complicated right now. Li Xiaoxing woke up just now and told me that there was something buried under our old house. Judging from the abbot's experience, it is very likely to be true. ”
Wushuang looked at me and said, "I always think it's better for you not to go, I feel like we're being taken advantage of." Just like your Neidan, in the end, they are all cheaper than others. ”
I nodded: "I understand that." Still, I'm curious. Wondering what the hell is going on and who is trying to take advantage of us. ”
Wushuang raised his chin and pointed at Li Xiaoxing who was lying on the bed: "Don't you just ask him?" ”
I sighed and sat down in my chair, "I wanted to ask, he had to wake up." ”
The abbot volunteered: "Don't worry, I recited a sutra and he woke up quickly." Then the abbot sat down and began to recite the sutra again with his eyes closed.
I have to say that the abbot, as a liar, is very skilled in business. Looking at the way he twisted the Buddhist beads and chanted the scriptures, he was even more professional than a real monk. This is in the abbot's words, the monks have food to eat whether they read it or not, and they earn tens of thousands of dollars a month by guarding the merit box.
Wushuang sat next to me and asked me, "Xu You, do you think we just now, was it a hallucination or a dream?" Or is it really going to happen? ”
When Wushuang said this, his face turned slightly pale. I know that the dream just now is terrible, and she still has some lingering palpitations, in fact, why shouldn't I?
We have come through the wind and waves, what scene have we not seen? However, we are still afraid of wars that kill and wound tens of millions of people.
I thought for a moment and said, "In the hallucination, our peachwood sword can wake us up. But it didn't work at all just now, apparently not. And we were really tired and sleepy before we fell asleep just now. I think it's more like a dream. ”
Wushuang frowned and said, "Dreaming? Will the two of us have the same dream? ”
I smiled and said, "Maybe we have a good heart, and after staying together for a long time, we have some kind of connection, so it's not strange to have the same dream......"
Before I finished my words, Wushuang kicked me directly.
In fact, Wushuang's words make sense, two people doing the same dream is indeed a bit evil. It's not impossible, though.
I was thinking. I heard that Wushuang was looking for the abbot again. He asked, "Abbot, what are you reading here?" Grunt. ”
The abbot said, "I have a lot of background. This is called the Heart Sutra to subdue demons and exorcise demons, which can get rid of nightmares. If you've had a nightmare, or if you're in bed. Reciting this sutra will definitely work. ”
Wushuang looked at her with disdain: "I learned a new idiom again, do you know?" It's called self-deception. ”
The abbot was not happy: "How is this self-deception? This is all well founded. The great monks of all generations have said......"
Suddenly, I had a spiritual light: "Heart Sutra? Incubus? ”
I waved my hand at Wushuang: "Are you still sleepy?" ”
Wushuang nodded: "Sleepy." I didn't sleep much at all. Seeing those horrible things with your eyes closed is more tiring than waking up. ”
I waved at her, "Do you want to sleep again?" Come on, come on, let's lie down and go back to sleep. ”
Wushuang glanced at me: "You're insane, you're crazy." ”
I tried to be as serious as I could, "You listen to me, I promise." Come on, come on, sit down. ”
Wushuang sat down inexplicably. Then he looked at me warily.
I didn't care about her, yawned, and closed my eyes. I know that sleeping is contagious, and after a night of tossing, Wushuang must be sleepy.
Sure enough, I heard the sound of her even breathing in my ears. Wushuang slept faster than I did.
The corners of my mouth hooked and I couldn't help but want to laugh, but the smile didn't come out yet. I had fallen into a deep sleep.
Everything was as I expected. When I opened my eyes, it was in the living room. I closed my eyes and changed to another world.
I found myself sitting on the top of a mountain. As long as you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and break your bones.
I breathed a long sigh of relief and stood up gently. At this time, I heard Wushuang calling me: "Xu You, where are you?" Get the hell out of here. ”
I followed the prestige and saw Wushuang hanging on a tree, swaying, looking at me with an angry face.
I hurriedly said to her, "Don't be quiet, be quiet." Have you forgotten what happened last time? ”
Then, I climbed the tree separately. Carefully rescued her.
Wushuang's eyes were about to burst into flames: "Did you already know that this would happen?" ”
I pretended to be stupid: "What? ”
Wushuang pointed around angrily: "Did you already know that as long as we fell asleep, we would come back to such a place?" ”
I thought for a moment and said, "We'll be somewhere after we fall asleep." But I really don't know exactly where it is. ”
Wushuang asked me, "Where is this?" How did you know you would be here? ”
I was about to speak, when suddenly there was a sound of voice from the bottom of the mountain. There was even a sound of blowing.
Wushuang and I hid in the bushes. Look at the people at the foot of the mountain. They were dressed in white and clothed in linen and filial piety. Carrying a coffin, he was walking up the hill with difficulty.
Behind these filial piety people were a large number of soldiers. Riding horses and halberds in their hands, they followed the funeral procession without saying a word. These soldiers, all dressed in black armor, were clearly the last time we saw the army, and these people, whether they were horses or people, were wrapped in a white cloth on their heads.
There are quite a few villages at the foot of the mountain. The person carrying the coffin blows and blows, and the sound is huge, but he does not scatter paper money, and after walking over, there is basically no trace.
The mountain village has always been quiet, and suddenly there is such a luxurious funeral procession. Everyone scrambled to get out of the house. Standing on both sides of the road and watching, pointing at the team as they watched.
That's when something terrible happened. The soldiers suddenly rushed into the village. Wielding a sharp halberd in his hand, one by one, he killed all those innocent villagers.
Wushuang exclaimed in surprise, and I quickly covered her mouth.
There was nothing unusual about the person carrying the coffin in front, still blowing and blowing, carrying the coffin forward. The soldiers were clearly used to killing. The villagers were killed cleanly, and then their houses were burned. The fire is raging, and it will take a while. The village disappeared from the face of the earth. All it takes is a rain to wash away the burn marks, and there is no evidence of the village's existence.
The funeral team came all the way, and the soldiers behind killed all the way. Then the team went deep into the mountains. Gradually, there are actually some people who are close to me.
The two of us lay on the ground, staring at these people, not daring to move.
Then, the soldiers brought in the boulders piece by piece. Intercepted a mountain stream in its entirety. There are many sharp blades exposed under the mountain stream. They spun rapidly, slowing down as the current decreased, and finally stopped.
The funeral procession carried the coffin down the mountain stream. I think I buried people inside. How exactly how to bury this person, Wushuang and I can't see.
Now, we can only watch it all with a look of amazement. I was scared and surprised, and I couldn't speak for a long time.
I don't know how long I waited, but the mourners finally poked their heads out of the mountain stream. They slowly climbed up to the shore.
However, at this time, the soldiers waiting outside suddenly removed the stones.
The torrent in the mountain stream rushed down, and the blade spun rapidly. We heard the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling. Then, the voice gradually weakened, and finally fell completely silent.
The entire surface of the water was dyed red, and occasionally one or two severed arms floated up and washed away into the distance.
Wushuang asked me in a whisper, "Why are they doing this?" ”
I whispered in his ear, "The man in the coffin doesn't want people to know where he's buried. So when the coffin-bearers had buried him, they were killed. ”
Wushuang nodded thoughtfully, and then she pointed at the soldiers: "But these soldiers know ......"
She wasn't done yet. Those who suddenly drew their long swords from their waists in unison. They waded through the icy stream until they reached waist-deep. Then they killed themselves.
Their bodies fell into the water. Or it will be washed up to the great rivers and flow east to the sea. Or, stumbling over something deep in the mountains, completely rotting. Or, float near the mechanism at the bottom of the water and be slashed into pulp by a sharp blade.
Wushuang looked at all this dumbfounded: "Why did they kill themselves?" ”
I said, "They should be the dead men who have been raised." Everything belongs to their masters, including life. Their owners did not want them to divulge the address of the grave. So they made their will clear with death. ”
Wushuang looked at the reddened water in a daze: "These dead soldiers are much braver than yesterday's soldiers." However, I always felt that their death was a bit unworthy. ”
