Chapter 20: The Night of the Seven Souls
Although I had a strong premonition when I saw Xu Ming, I never expected it to be realized so quickly, and the Religious Affairs Bureau did its best to let me and the Miscellaneous Hair Trail go all over China without finding a single hair, and the Evil Spirit Sect would actually appear in this strange place - is this the real reason why they disappeared?
I didn't want to think about it, the door creaked open, and then someone walked in, and said to Xu Ming angrily: "Those guys from outside, what's going on?" Do you know that the little Buddha is hiding here? Even in the face of such a terrifying master as the Earth Demon, Xu Ming, whose strength is not very strong, was not panicked at all, he said flatly: "It shouldn't be possible, the little Buddha has been sacrificing recently, and there are many masters in the sect to protect the Dharma, and the natal golden silkworm Gu is there, you know best about the security measures Lord Earth Demon, how can there be an accident?" Those guys must have come here for some other reason, right? ”
Hearing Xu Ming's words, the earth demon's uneasy heart was also relieved slightly, sat on the chair next to the wooden cabinet, chatted with Xu Ming casually, and suddenly asked: "Xu Ming, your soul has changed, and you have the blessing of the black witch monk Bambu Guru, who has the most in-depth study of Nanyang spirituality, and you have long been beyond the control of those guys. ”
Facing the temptation of the earth demon, Xu Ming said quietly: "Everyone has their own way to go, and I know very well where my direction is. ”
There was nothing substantial in Xu Ming's words, it was very perfunctory, and the earth demon seemed to have lost the scheming character of the past, and did not spare Xu Ming, but continued to ask: "What the little Buddha is going to do, now it is becoming more and more clear, everyone who knows is afraid, because we know that if he really succeeds, what we are ushering in is not necessarily the new world, maybe eternal death, and there are not many people who can stop him, you may be one of them......"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, in the Evil Spirit Altar before, the Earth Demon could be regarded as the most powerful little Buddha among the twelve demon stars, why did what he said at this time actually seem to be planning a rebellion; And Xu Ming, who was just a small person in the past, has such a vital position?
No matter what I think here, Xu Ming directly cut off the words of the earth demon and said indifferently: "Did Huang Gongwang ask you to come over?" ”
The Earth Demon's momentum weakened a lot, and he whispered, "It doesn't matter who sent me here, the important thing is that you don't have a plan of your own?" His voice was low, and there was less gloom in his words, but more sincere emotions, and Xu Ming said resolutely: "What the little Buddha wants to do, in fact, only he knows the Tao, but he is now the head marshal of Erdele, and all we can choose is to believe in him, that's all." ”
Hearing Xu Ming's decisive answer, the earth demon didn't speak anymore, and after a while, he said faintly: "Little Buddha's temper has been getting worse and worse recently, you won't ......"
He still didn't finish his words, but the meaning was clearly expressed, Xu Ming promised directly very happily: "Okay, I know, in fact, I don't want to touch the mold, what do you want to do, then do it, but everything has nothing to do with me, I just need to do my duty." I don't care about anything else. ”
The earth demon was very satisfied with Xu Ming's attitude, got up and said a few more words to him, and then left the courtyard.
As soon as the earth demon left, I immediately came out of the wooden cabinet, and saw Xu Ming, who sent the earth demon out of the village, turned around, I clenched my fists, and said indifferently: "Xu Ming, can you explain to me, where is this place?" Xu Ming was not surprised by the appearance of the earth demon when he saw me, but asked more persistently, and no longer concealed it, but said directly: "This is the origin of the world, the crack of time and space, the junction of light and darkness - dark matter constitutes the sky, the light world constitutes the cornerstone, and the junction between soul and body constitutes all the existence in the middle......"
I shook my head and said I didn't understand, could I say something human?
Xu Ming laughed, and said Let's explain it to you like this, you may not believe it, but this place is the same as the Evil Spirit General Altar, it is an existence of the same nature, but what makes it even more special is that it has countless entrances, countless places, and countless worlds and realms converge and merge, whether it is the body or the soul - in short, you can call it "Huangquan Road"!
"But what is the road on the bridge, right and wrong do not cross the Lechuan River, there is no right or wrong in front of the Sansheng Stone, and Meng Po will be on the side of the Wangxiang Terrace - what you said, is it the legendary one?"
Xu Ming nodded, smiled, and said You may not believe it, but this is the truth, I probably guessed, you may be because of the out-of-body soul, so you will involuntarily wander here, because of the rules of the world, many souls will be imperceptibly transformed into unconscious souls when they arrive here, but you and I will not, and neither will many guys in this town, because our powerful divine souls have far exceeded the restrictions of the rules.
There was a hint of pride on his face, but he quickly relented and smiled at me, saying that if you don't get back to your body soon, after seven days, you'll never be able to go back.
Seven days of soul night? Xu Ming's smile was gentle and gentle, but it was so weird to me, and I immediately remembered a scene in my mind, that is, a spiritual shed was erected in front of my house, and I was lying in a dark coffin...... Oh my God, when I thought of this, I grabbed Xu Ming's hand directly and said what should I do now, how can I go back?
Xu Ming stared at me for a long time before he said leisurely: "Everything has a cause and an effect, if you want to go back, then you must also understand how you came here." But if you're really in a hurry, there's an old woman in the west of the town, she's a professional usher, I can take you over to find her to help you take a look......"
He took out two masks from the wooden cabinet where I was hiding just now, this thing was very rough made, Xu Ming put it on demonstratively, it was an expressionless appearance, but it was a little similar to the people I saw before, Xu Ming told me, said that if you want to hide your identity, you need to bring one. I looked at him, and I couldn't help but wonder if I was reborn, why can you stay here and I can't? Don't...... Are you and the goblin dead?
After wearing the mask, Xu Ming's head was foggy, faintly, and even his voice became blurred: "Hehe, the reason why we were able to come here is all due to the little Buddha, as for what it is, I won't tell you......"
Seeing that I put on the dull mask, Xu Ming was about to take me out of here, and when I was about to walk out of the door, I suddenly pulled him out and said the question that had always existed in my heart: "Xu Ming, what are you doing...... Want to help me? ”
Yes, Xu Ming is a person from the Buddha Hall, that is, the right-hand man under the little Buddha, what he should do at the moment should be to inform my identity, and then find someone to arrest me, instead of taking me to the house to hide, and even the earth demon is next to him as a support, he did not break me out, but took me to find the hope of returning to the yang world, this thing is really a little too weird, I can't help but doubt it.
Facing my question, Xu Ming was rarely silent for a while, and after a long time, he said lightly: "After I exchanged souls with Li Zhiyuan, you did not expose me, allowing me to live a peaceful and peaceful life, and also felt the love of a great father, which I will never forget in my life." ”
Xu Ming's words made me fall silent, at the beginning about exposing and not exposing Xu Ming, in fact, there were still a lot of ambiguities between me and Zamao Xiaodao, and I have been blamed by my conscience later, but I didn't expect Xu Ming to still remember this incident, which makes people feel a lot of emotion.
In fact, I didn't do anything with Zamao Xiaodao, but I just chose not to say it, so Xu Ming was grateful to this day, more or less, in fact, it is also a kind of warmth.
We didn't talk anything more, except for the house, and walked through the small courtyard outside, towards the narrow alleyway to the west.
At this moment, Xu Ming's skills are far more powerful than when he was in Hong Kong, he is very professional in looking and exploring from front to back, left and right, and he can also deliberately bypass the main road and walk towards the remote path, showing his familiarity with this side. We hurried along, and suddenly there was a bang in the sky overhead, and there was a roar in the whole space, and I saw Xu Ming jump on the roof as soon as he jumped up, and I followed and looked towards the source of the sound, but I saw a large row of bull heads around the entrance of the town, and opposite them stood a bald old man, who seemed to be confronting him.
Xu Ming turned around and saw me with a mask looking at the entrance of the town motionlessly, thinking that I was a little scared, so he comforted me and said don't be afraid, this town is the territory of Taishan Bo Huang Feihu, and they will not break in.
Tarzanbo? I'm a little puzzled, saying that the bald old man is Huang Feihu in "Romance of the Gods", right?
Xu Ming smiled and said how could he be, he wasn't. Alas, I can't tell you clearly, let's go, let's hurry up, or I'll run into Erdler's people, and then I'll be implicated by you. He didn't explain, and led me up and down the town, and I looked back with some confusion, is this guy who can withstand the surging bull's head just a nameless junior?
