Mid-year festival

Capital, Xuanyuan Temple, Yellow Emperor Mausoleum

On that long staircase, there are quite a few people climbing upwards, or in groups of three or two, a few confidants in a team, or a few families, with the old and the young. Among them, there is a slightly lonely figure, mixed in with the crowd, more conspicuous, and slowly climbing up with the crowd.

Gu Yunzhe, standing on the steps at this time, took a deep breath, and looked around, at this time, there were not many people on the steps, but they were all friends, and then looked at himself, alone, and secretly smiled bitterly in his heart.

He looked behind him again, and the view in front of him was very impressive. I was almost close to the top of the mountain, and there was no cloud in front of me, only the sun shining in the sky, the villages and towns at the foot of the mountain, the colorful roofs, and the scattered streets. Looking further away, there is a thin layer of fog barrier, but in the blur, you can also see a high-rise forest between the sky and the earth, and from time to time there are dots of reflection, which appear and disappear from time to time.

Such a scene swept away the gloom in Gu Yunzhe's heart, and suddenly opened up. "The ancients didn't deceive me, and it was good to have a look at the small mountains!

The gloom in his heart was cleared, and he felt his whole body feel as if he had done a big cleaning, and he felt more relaxed. Three steps and two steps, walk to the square in front of the temple.

Looking at the Xuanyuan Temple in front of you here, there is no coercion of resplendent brilliance, but there is a kind of simple and true calm. In particular, the cypress tree in front of the temple is not very tall, but it gives people a sense of strength and strength.

Gu Yunzhe stood in front of the tree and looked at it for a moment, and was about to turn around and walk towards the temple, when suddenly, a light flashed in front of his eyes. He immediately turned his head, looking for the source of the light.

While I was looking, near the railing, there was a small pebble, which lit up. Gu Yunzhe hurriedly walked over, leaned over the fence, and reached out to grab the stone.

The moment his hand touched the stone, Gu Yunzhe's head seemed to be hit hard, "Hum~~~"! Then he was like entering a dream, surrounded by colorful mist. When he was in a daze, the fog in front of him rolled, and a figure floated over, slowly approaching. Soon revealed his true face, it was a "ghost" with a humanoid upper body and a foggy lower body.

Gu Yunzhe looked at the "ghost" in front of him, and did not feel a trace of fear, but subconsciously said two words, "Lamp God?"

The "ghost", touching his bald head, smiled, "No, I'm a machine spirit." ”

Gu Yunzhe looked at the "person" in front of him and repeated, "Machine spirit?"

The machine spirit smiled and said, "Yes, I am the machine spirit"

Gu Yunzhe only came back to his senses at this time, "Then what is this place? How did I get here? What kind of instrument spirit are you, and ......?"

The machine spirit interrupted his question, "Haha, you ask so many questions at once, I don't know which one to answer." I'll start with the source. ”

Gu Yunzhe was interrupted from questioning, but he was not angry, there were too many questions, and the answer was only answered by the machine spirit, so he quietly closed his mouth and listened to the machine spirit begin to speak.

The machine spirit circled around Gu Yunzhe, then stopped in front of him and looked around, "This is the colorful world, to be exact, inside the stone in your hand." I am the spirit of this colorful stone, can also be said to be the spirit of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's tomb, I because I was contaminated with the emperor's blood, and accepted the breath of the real dragon, was engraved by Emperor Wa, the spirit of wisdom was opened, was placed in the gate of the emperor's tomb by Emperor Wa, as the spirit of guarding the tomb, and then absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, has been able to transform into a human form, out of the world and travel. It's a pity that the Colorful Boundary Stone is like the root of the earth to me, and it can't be moved for half a minute, although I have traveled countless worlds, I still need to return to this place eventually. ”

When Gu Yunzhe heard this, he had a feeling of seeing the sun. I know that this stone is originally related to ancient myths and legends, and it seems that this stone is very unusual, it is actually a world in it, but I don't know if there is anyone in it. Suddenly, a question came to my mind and asked, "If you can't hold it, you can let someone else carry it for you." ”

After listening to his question, the machine spirit laughed, "You don't understand, mortal body can't see me with the naked eye, and cultivators, if they don't cultivate enough, they can't hold that stone." Moreover, if you don't have the opportunity, you can't enter this colorful world."

When Gu Yunzhe heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, "Then how can I see it, and I can still come in?"

The machine spirit turned around abruptly, floated to the front of Gu Yunzhe, and stared at his eyes at eye level, "You are very unusual, although I don't know the reason for this, but, I know, you and I are very fateful." Take me away, and I can help you with a lot of things you want. ”

Gu Yunzhe believes in fate, but he doesn't believe in the fate that comes up on his own initiative, after all, the old man often says, "There will be no pie in the sky, and falling down is not a trap, it is trouble!" But the words of the machine spirit moved him, it can help him realize many dreams. People have desires, not to mention Gu Yunzhe, who is under a lot of pressure in life now. He secretly thought about it, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, and if he didn't promise him, he might be trapped here forever. "Okay, I promise you. But how do you get out?"

The machine spirit was also very embarrassed, because Gu Yunzhe was the only one who took the initiative to come in, and he didn't want to miss such an opportunity, because it wanted to leave here too much, guarding an empty tomb, it was too boring. Hearing Gu Yunzhe's reply, his face became ecstatic, and the fog around him also flowed quickly a few times. Then he leaned down, prostrated himself on the ground, bowed his head and said, "From now on, you are my master, and I swear by the realm for your spiritual servant that I will never betray! I'll send you back now!"

When Gu Yunzhe heard him swear, a light flashed in the four-five colored mist, straight into the center of his eyebrows, and he touched it with his hand, without any discomfort. After listening to Wucai's words, his brain suddenly rose, and he quickly closed his eyes.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself still lying on my stomach on the fence, and my right hand had just touched the stone. He quickly took the stone in his hand and stood up straight. Looking around, no one noticed their movements. Only then did I realize that although I had been talking in the stone for a long time, it was only a moment in reality, like a dream, but it was so real.

Encountering this incident made him feel very incomprehensible. I put the stone away, and I didn't plan to visit the temple, but now I want to hurry home and be calm and calm.

As soon as I turned around, I noticed that there were different changes around me. It's not that the scene has changed, it's that the scene he sees has changed.

When I came, it was an ordinary mountain road with many trees all around. Now the scene is still the mountain road steps, the trees are verdant, but there are some halos on the trees, and the people around them are not ordinary, they can see the faint light emitted from them, some are brighter, some are flickering, and some are mixed with a trace of black gas. These scenes really surprised Gu Yunzhe, and he was even more convinced that it was true just now. However, from knowing nothing, to seeing those halos now, it is also very uncomfortable in my heart. Then he took out the stone and silently recited "Colorful".

A voice came from his head, "Master, what's the matter?"

Gu Yunzhe said what he had just seen, "What should I do?"

A colorful voice came in his mind, "Master, don't be afraid, those lights can be said to be alive." If you don't want to see it, I'll tell you a little trick, pinch the tip of your ring finger with your thumb with one hand, and then flick it hard, and you can dissipate the consciousness. If you want to meditate, just pinch this trick again, and you're good to go. ”

After listening to the colorful words, Gu Yunzhe's tricks were implemented, and after a flick, sure enough, he recovered as before, and he couldn't see those halos of vitality. Take a deep breath and turn around and go down the mountain.

When I got home, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until late in the evening. After dinner, Gu Yunzhe took out the stone again, found a small cloth bag, put the stone in it, wrapped the buckle rope around his wrist, and walked out of the house.

After going out, I went straight to the bus station, made a few bus trips, and came to a neighborhood. There is a friend who likes to study ancient culture, and also knows more about jade carving, this person's surname is Zhang, called Zhang Jianqiang, Gu Yunzhe called him "Brother Zhang".

When he came to Zhang Jianqiang's house, he saw Zhang Jianqiang, who was still angry, open the door for himself, Gu Yunzhe was not polite, he came in with his feet, sat on the sofa in the living room, and directly took out the colorful stone and put it on the coffee table.

Zhang Jianqiang closed the door and sat opposite, looking at the stone on the coffee table, the size was like a dragon's eye, irregular, and there were some colored stars on the gray-black surface, which felt transparent, but there was no light through. It didn't sink much in my hand, and it was still warm, thinking that it might have just been taken out of my pocket and warmed by my body. Asked Gu Yunzhe, "What is this, where did you find it?"

Gu Yunzhe didn't answer his question, but said, "You are an expert, help see what kind of material this is." ”

Zhang Jianqiang took a magnifying glass and a flashlight from the side, looked at it carefully, sighed, then scratched his head and put the stone down, "This stone, it's not good, it's not a stone, but it's not like jade, it's not like a fossil, it's most likely a mixture of several minerals, and then after a long time of high temperature incineration, it was formed as a stone." If you have to set a tone for this stone, it is a piece of miscellaneous jade. It's just a very rare kind of miscellaneous jade. In terms of material, it is worthless, but in terms of rarity, it is also worth a little money. Where did you pick up this toy?" he said, throwing the stone to Gu Yunzhe.

Gu Yunzhe stretched out his hand, put it back in the small pocket, and wrapped it around his wrist. Lian said deeply, "Pick it up!"

Zhang Jianqiang listened to his not very serious answer, and glanced at his mouth, "Cut, garbage stuff is a baby." It's okay at night. ”

Gu Yunzhe looked into the back room, "I'm fine, my sister-in-law is not at home?"

Zhang Jianqiang stood up and walked to the kitchen, saying as he walked, "Her brother is getting married, so don't you go home to help Zhang Luo." They didn't care about me, and they didn't let me go, thinking I was clumsy and getting in the way. I'm too lazy to go, it's nice to play with rocks at home. Today, the two of us drank two cups, from his brother's house, good wine. Hehe. No one cares today. As he spoke, he took out a bottle of Wuliangye from the kitchen and a plate of pig's head meat, and walked out.

Gu Yunzhe listened to him complaining, and he also knew that this lazy worm dared to move his mouth in the back, and when he saw his daughter-in-law, he was like a kitten, but he really hurt his daughter-in-law. Seeing him come out with the wine, he hurried over to take it, "I don't have a lot of it, you should drink less, in case my sister-in-law has something to say, you can still rush over." ”

Zhang Jianqiang went back and took a few more side dishes, "I'm drinking today, and I'm not going anywhere." The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking and chatting, and the time passed quickly.

Gu Yunzhe looked at his watch, it was almost eight o'clock, and then looked at the wine on the table, it had bottomed out. At this time, Zhang Jianqiang was already a little drunk, and he was already shouting and screaming. But I didn't get drunk at all, you know, my alcohol consumption is only half a glass, and I belong to the physique of getting drunk when I get drunk.

Today is indeed very strange, picked up the wine bottle and looked at it again, the degree is not low, and then look at Zhang Jianqiang, he must be really drunk. At this time, in my mind, the voice of the colorful Taoist sounded, "The gate of heaven has been opened, and all the fetuses are like smoke, and the delicacies of the mountains and seas are just like piercing the intestines, leaving incense and turbidity; It's just that your friend's life is not long in coming!"
