The mouth suddenly opened

I looked up and saw in front of me a gentle little girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, with moth eyebrows and bright teeth, and two small black pigtails hanging behind her ears. This beautiful little girl scared me back a step, and she ...... Isn't she the same beautiful girl I saw playing the piano on the magic stage that day! Oh, no, it should be said that it is a little beauty one size smaller than the beautiful and moving woman, their facial features are so similar, as if they were pinched in the same billet. At a glance, it is clear that these two girls are definitely sisters who are related by blood. It's so big in the world, and so small! How did I meet the sister of the female artist in the magic show team again in such a small place?! Presumably, the members of this magic team are hiding nearby, waiting for an opportunity, and I wonder what tricks they are going to come up with!

At this time, this little beauty was looking at me innocently, but I seemed to see the white bone spirit as if Sun Wukong had seen it, and noticed that under her graceful appearance, a skeleton that made people stand on end was dancing, but the little girl standing in front of me did not perceive my thoughts, she was still looking at me with a smile, and I felt that there seemed to be a knife hidden in this smile, and the people around me had also turned into many demons and monsters, and they were preparing to coerce and lure me. I couldn't take it anymore, and suddenly I turned around and ran out without even thinking about it. Looking at my figure running away, the little girl who stayed in place frowned slightly, her eyes widened in confusion, and she was a little confused.

But I kept running until I saw the gate of the Fearless Sect, which was guarded by soldiers not far away. I leaned down, my hands on the railing beside me, and gasped for air. I looked behind me worriedly, but it was empty, and no one was catching up. The sky was gray, the sparse weeds on the ground were abruptly crooked, and everything around was surprisingly quiet. I looked at the sign still in my palm, and suddenly I laughed. What am I worried about, it's just a piece of waste paper! At this time, I was like a deflated ball, exhausted and slowly walked into the door of the Fearless Sect.

Maybe I was running too fast, and I was so tired that I struggled to even talk for the rest of the day. At night, I lay down early and fell asleep after a while.

In my gentle dreams, I dreamed of Amanda, who had been separated for a long time, and he and I were happily walking by the sea. Suddenly, I fell into the endless depths of the ocean, and I was alone in the rough waters. What was even more strange was that the slowly raging sea began to warm up like a hot spring, and the temperature became higher and higher, so that I couldn't stand the heat. I swam to the shore as fast as I could, trying to get out of the hot water as quickly as possible, but I couldn't get to the end. At this time I saw Amanda again, but he stood on the seashore not far away, looking at me indifferently, and did not mean to reach out to help. I struggled feebly, the boiling water causing me a heart-rending pain, and I screamed spasmodically with an "ah", awoke from my dying nightmare. I sat up all at once, my forehead covered with beads of sweat the size of beans, and my whole body was hot and dry, as if I was still immersed in the boiling water.

For the next few days, whether it was training during the day or resting at night, I was listless. As I became more and more depressed day by day, I couldn't escape the sharp eyes of Zhou Qing, who was crawling together, and she thought I was not feeling well, so she urged me to go to see a doctor. Although I verbally promised that I would definitely go, my heart was like a mirror, and I knew that just looking at an ordinary doctor would not solve my heart disease, and my heart was as restless as a hundred claws scratching my heart.

In the dead of night for the past few days, I tossed and turned with my drawn lot in my hand, sometimes thinking that I should be questioned in a categorical way, and sometimes I was terrified like a turtle with a shrunken head. My heart was torn to the point of distraction, and the annoying nightmares often harassed my increasingly fragile heart when no one was around.

In the hazy night of another day, I once again involuntarily walked to the entrance of the market. Whether to go deeper or turn back, I couldn't decide for a moment. It was as if my heart was invisibly oppressed by a towering mountain, and this hateful sign was like a monster coming out of a stuffy gourd, haunting me endlessly. Actually, I really wanted to know the secret of this sign, but I was worried that I might not be able to bear the terrible consequences that I was about to face. Suffering a lot, I took small steps and unconsciously gradually integrated into this mysterious place. The faint lights of the day have now evolved into more extravagant indulgences. From the outside, most of the cabins are full of fire, trees, and people. The two drunken men staggered on the mottled stone pavement and could not get up.

I followed the same route as before, and once again came to this fortune-telling cabin. It was a very clean place, the noise of the day had subsided, and the moonlight in the twilight sprinkled around the cabin. The crystal ball that stood on the granite and emitted a slow smoke also seemed to have converged a lot, and the light smoke was faintly filled. I was in a moment of uncertainty as to whether to enter or not to enter, when suddenly the door of the cabin creaked open, and the little girl who had spoken to me earlier, but whom I had mistaken for a lepref, was standing by the door, and she was still smiling and looking at me, as if she had known that I would come to visit. She smiled lightly and said, "Please come in." ”

At this time, I could neither nor want to run away, so I willingly followed her guidance and went into the cabin. The wooden house is quiet and deep, and a faint fragrance of red sandalwood wafts deep and simple in the house, refreshing people's hearts. Guided by the well-behaved little girl, I walked slowly and looked around. I really didn't expect this ordinary looking cabin to be so unique once you entered. The layout of the houses is sometimes wide and simple as if it were a little too neat, and sometimes it is slender and heavy, like a treasure chest full of treasures. Although it suddenly makes you feel that the scenery is a little nondescript, but after careful consideration, you can feel that the concept presented is fantastic and graceful, and there is a mysterious and noble atmosphere, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

As I was on the move, an old man in good spirits came into my field of vision. This figure is both familiar and strange to me, oh, I remember, isn't this the same bad old man who kept staring at me on the magic stage that day. Now it's really different, now he is neither dull nor crazy, but a radiant old man. He just glanced at me slowly, then turned his head and continued to talk with the other two old men who were also in good spirits. The three seniors sat cross-legged at a low mahogany table, while at the innermost sat cross-legged the little dwarf beating gongs and drums on the magic stage, dressed in loose trumpet Chinese casual clothes, and playing peacefully with a small clay teapot.

Encountering someone who is not long away is both unexpected and unexpected. The feeling of opposition and estrangement between us has disappeared, and there is a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere gathered around us. When they were having a heart-to-heart conversation, I had no intention or intention of disturbing them.

Later, after passing through two small rooms standing side by side, I saw another old man. At this moment, the old man is immersed in concentrating on an unfinished layout of Suzhou embroidery under his hand, and he has no time to take care of the left and right. He was also dressed in a comfortable Chinese Tang suit, and the pale white color of his elegant shirt seemed to have washed away the last bit of his funny and ridiculous clown appearance, and at this moment he was calm and subtle like a standing statue. I didn't want to disturb him, so I walked over quietly.

Although I didn't see the little woman who once played the ancient beauty, she followed behind her slim little sister, which can be regarded as a blessing for three lives. I was shuttling between the delicate pavilions and pavilions, and I was thinking to myself.

After another cup of tea, I finally stepped into a small square partition of five or six square meters on the left. As soon as I entered the door, I saw an old monk with a childish face sitting peacefully on the futon in the center. He closed his eyes slightly, and slowly turned a chain of black Buddha beads the size of a large cherry in his hand, probably closing his eyes to recuperate. Perhaps he heard the sound of me coming in, and he opened his eyes slightly and looked at me with kind eyes.

I followed the little girl's instructions and sat down on another futon opposite the old man. Then the little girl didn't say a word, and went out, and only me and the old man were left in the palm-sized cubicle. While I was still hesitating about how to open the conversation, the old monk had already spoken first.

"You're here, then show me the lot you draw." It was as if he was talking to someone he knew well.

I quickly took out the sign that was still stained with body temperature from my jacket pocket and handed it over with sincere fear.

After receiving the talisman, the old man just glanced at it casually and placed it beside him. He still said slowly and kindly, "Do what is written on the sign, and you can do it." Do you still have any questions? ”

I was speechless for a while, and I don't know where to ask?!

The old man continued: "It is very clear on the sign that in the event of a disaster, it is the best policy to dodge. ”

"But I don't want to, and I can't dodge!" I said quickly but firmly, thinking that even for the sake of Amanda, for the sake of my good friend, I couldn't just walk away.

"Can you give me some pointers?" I then asked.

"Oh······" The old man sighed meaningfully, "I can't talk about it." If you insist on not leaving, I can only tell you that what this sign says is indeed not ten ten, it can only estimate ninety percent of cause and effect, and one percent is random and can be grasped by yourself. Although following the trend is recognized as the best policy, and it is even more difficult to go against the current, if you stick to it, there may be a chance to turn the tables. But whether it can be successfully turned around in the end is not an easy task, it depends on the interaction of the right time, place and people, you must consider it clearly! ”

I could hear a little voiceover from the old man's words, but he was actually warning me that if I stayed, sooner or later, the battle I would face would be inevitable. I think the reason why I have devoted myself to this rather distant planet must have some important mission. If I go with the flow, I can only survive alone, and if I swim against the current, I can bring a ray of life to the people I love. I already know the purpose of this sign, and who will know in the future, and I don't want to think about it anymore. At this moment, my heart is fluctuating, although I still don't know what kind of danger I will face in the future, but a sense of pride and ambition has been born in my heart.

The old man leaned over and took out a delicate small sachet from the small box beside him, and solemnly handed it to me, "Take this, eliminate disasters and blessings, maybe it can be of some use in times of crisis." ”

I held this pink little sachet in both hands, and said "thank you" gratefully, although I don't know whether the little sachet given by the old man is an ordinary blessing object, or a rare thing with another meaning, but I have a feeling of love for this exquisite little sachet. I feel like I have solace and hope in my heart.

Now the little girl was standing in the corner of the partition, and she seemed to know that our conversation was coming to an end, and was waiting for me. So I stood up and said goodbye to the old man.

Under the watchful eye of the old man, I left the small partition room. Just as she was about to walk to the gate, the little girl whispered, "Please stay." Then she led me through a small and inconspicuous side door in the corner of the room, and into a clearing. In the quiet night, a large field of pale pink peony flowers is blooming gently, which is very pleasant. There was a fair-skinned middle-aged woman in Chinese clothes standing next to the flowers, and I thought it was familiar, so I looked at it closely, oh, I remembered, wasn't she the second examiner Susan who learned that I was a Splitter when I took a psychological test when I graduated from high school. She was looking at me with a smile. It's so rare to meet an old acquaintance I haven't seen for many days, so I strode over and shook hands with her. Seeing this, the little girl retreated silently.

"Aren't you a member of the Solidarity faction, how did you end up here?" I was a little surprised, because this kind of place, especially at night, should be a place for the fearless stragglers to spend their days drinking, and people like the nearby Solidarity group, or the Bogu faction, do not bother to visit here.

"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it when I have a chance later." She said as she led me into a winding corridor connecting the two rooms, "You're thin, but your body looks strong!" ”

"Oh, really?! It was mainly due to the hard training during this time. I replied with a smile.

We came to an elegant small pavilion located in the middle of the corridor, which neatly placed an antique table of eight immortals and four round stools, at a glance we know that the history of this object is quite long, it is made of ancient Chinese traditional red sandalwood, in my time has been a rarity, and in this era should be even more extinct, but now I sit on this ancient bench full of vicissitudes, sipping green tea fragrant like orchid cinnamon, chatting in the sea and the sky, it is really a blessing for three lives!

In the middle of our conversation at first sight, Miss Susan took out a small note from her jacket pocket and placed it in front of me.

"Do you look at this note, do you recognize the characters on it?" Her expression suddenly became serious.

I squinted and looked closely, revealing a modest table on a vaguely legible white sheet of paper, with rows of numbers, symbols, and ancient characters carefully arranged in a neat table shape.

ζю♂Ÿ☀

8 5 1۞◐

(16) ♮ Resentment ☒

I stared at this strange little note, confused. Most of the characters in the note I've never seen before. Except for the numbers, I only know that ☀ the sun ♂ is a male symbol, but I don't know what the other symbols represent, and I have never seen the two big Chinese characters in the table, let alone know them.

I had to tell the truth: "I don't know." ”

Seeing that Sister Susan was a little disappointed, she sighed, "Hey, I've been searching the world for decades, hoping to solve the mystery on this note, but so far it has ended in failure. ”

She took a slow sip of tea, and then continued: "My brother still clutched this note tightly when he was twenty-five years old and insane, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit. Later, when he was in a severe coma, I pulled the note out of his palm, and finally he finally survived the pass and woke up, and the first thing he did when he woke up was nothing else, just to read the note. It seemed that with this inconspicuous note, his life could continue, so I placed this little note in a small picture frame next to his bed, so that he could see it every morning when he woke up. When he was very anxious and irritable, as long as he held this picture frame with a small note on his chest, it was as if he had taken some kind of panacea, and his mood improved and his heart calmed down. ”

Her words suddenly made me feel that this inconspicuous little note was immediately a lot heavier.

"The note has been kept in a picture frame next to my brother's bed, and I have imitated it as it is. You can take it, and help me inquire about it. It would be great if one day we could crack one or two. She said hopefully.

"Okay, definitely." Although I had only read one or two books on symbols and ancient texts, my dad loved these ancient things. I can ask my dad if he knows a thing or two, maybe he knows.
