Chapter 21: The Phantom of the Green Snake
In the past few days, I always seem to wake up and not sleep, groggy, as soon as I close my eyes, I dream of some strange places, dim, deep, and I can still hear some heart-rending shouts in my ears, as if someone is singing in the long and endless night, which is terrifying...... I touched my forehead, and there was nothing unusual, so I lingered on the couch, and I couldn't move out of the cloud cave in Nagano.
Suddenly, there was a wisp of seductive fragrance wafting in, I tried to open my eyes, I didn't know whether it was day or night outside, and I didn't know where the fragrance came from, but I stood up with difficulty, staggered and pushed the vines out, just went out The sun was dazzling, the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, it turned out to be early in the morning, and the scene in the dream was gradually dispelled in my mind.
I followed the fragrance all the way, on the side of Xianze, I saw a man in a fancy dress, jade white and reddish ears hidden in the green silk, he half kneeled and half sitting, his hands seemed to be busy with something, and the smell of barbecue came from him.
I shouted, "Who is so bold and knows what Nagano is?"
"I know you're greedy, so don't be so anxious, come, give it to you. The bamboo skewer he held in his hand was wearing a section of barbecue, the cut was neat, the shape was square, the fragrance was really attractive, I couldn't help but take it, three times five divided by two on a skewer, he saw that I ate deliciously, smiled, and took a sign to me, I asked: "What kind of meat is this, so strong." ”
"Looks like you can guess it, of course it's snake meat. ”
I stared at him blankly, stopped chewing, and after a few moments, I took another handful of meat he gave me and asked, "Where did it come from?"
"Local materials!"
"The creatures of Nagano are all spiritually rooted, and they are not afraid of evil. ”
He lay down on his back and looked at the sky leisurely: "It's just a green-skinned cauliflower snake that has not yet been cultivated, why can't you eat it, don't you still eat it well?"
After eating the roast snake meat in my hand, I wiped my mouth and asked, "Why do you want to run to my place to play?
"It's strange to say, after coming here, I suddenly didn't want to leave, it's rare to meet so many like-minded friends, and there are beautiful scenery......"
", isn't it the drunken Jin Yao who covets the Luyin Pavilion?" interrupted his high-sounding, I said unceremoniously, who knew that he couldn't cry or laugh, shook his head and said: "You don't know what I've been through in the past few days, counting you haven't been to the Luyin Pavilion for almost seven days, during this period, Jiu'er's girl and little ghost completely treated me as a shopkeeper, serving tea and water, ushering in the delivery, tired of my back and leg cramps, I found a gap today and quickly escaped, only to remember that you Nagano breathed." ”
"What!" I snapped, "Seven days? You say I've been groggy for seven days?"
"Yes, today is the seventh day, what did you say was the matter with you being groggy, what's wrong with the past few days?"
I patted my head and said anxiously: "Fortunately, it's just in time, my seven-day appointment with the old monk is coming, and I promised it before, I can't break the contract, I have to go to Yanhua Temple, and the son is at his own convenience, so I won't entertain." I turned around and left, and Lin Zhen smiled behind my back: "It's still this urgency." He seemed to realize something, and muttered, "Why should I say it?"
Walking in a hurry, running and running, I came to Yanhua Temple at the speed of rushing to reincarnation, I forgot to knock on the door in a hurry, and pushed the door straight in, but saw an incredible scene!
- A big green python hovering in the pond in the temple!
I screamed in fright, and in the blink of an eye, the python was gone, and the pond was still calm, without a ripple, as if everything was my delusion......
"What's wrong with the girl?" looked sideways, Master Xiuyuan sat quietly under the shade of the tree, leisurely drinking tea and playing chess, the whole temple was quiet and quiet, except for the kingfisher through the branches and leaves, there was no other sound.
I ran up quickly, wanting to get to the pond to see what was going on: "Old monk, I just saw something in this pond. ”
As a result, when I ran over and looked, there was no green duckweed or algae in the crystal clear pool, and I could see the sand and gravel below directly from above, but I had just really, really seen that terrible thing.
"Seeing that the girl's eyelids are drooping, bloodshot, sallow, and tired, is she guilty of demonism?"
"But in the past few days, I have been in a trance, I can't sleep enough, I can't wake up, I will dream of some very strange things when I am half asleep, I don't know if it is related to my previous life...... "I actually acquiesced that he already knew that I was dead, and I couldn't care about it, and I told it out.
Sure enough, the old monk knew everything: "These demons have nothing to do with your past life, and they don't even have anything to do with you." ”
"That'...... I'm ...... What's going on?"
The old monk smiled calmly: "Girl, the last time I saw you, I asked if Jueye's eyes are still useful, do you remember?"
"Of course I do, you mean there's something wrong with this eye?"
He nodded: "That's right, the things of the world can't be all for help, not all for disasters, blessings and disasters depend on each other, positive and negative...... Since this eye has given you something that others do not have, and since you have become the only person in the world who can read the past and present lives of the dead after the destruction of the ghost world, it will naturally bring you misery and make you suffer physically and mentally - this is just the beginning. ”
"So you expected that the last time you saw me, you would ask something like that?" I asked tentatively.
"That's right, the last time I saw you, I already saw the omen, so these seven days are specially to ask you to ease, what I didn't expect is that your situation is more serious than the poor monk expected, afraid that you will delay the time, the poor monk specially sent Fu'er to Nagano to pick you up, otherwise you may fall into a nightmare and not wake up. ”
"Fu'er, you're sending someone to pick me up in Nagano?"
"I forgot to tell you, Fu'er is the younger brother of Liu Tiantian 10,000 years ago, the child who accidentally ate the flesh of the snake and turned into a half-snake body, then again, why hasn't he returned at this time?
The words made me sweat coldly, the little green snake? Could it be the one that Lin Qian roasted to eat? Who would have thought that he was the younger brother of Liu Tiantian ten thousand years ago, how could he explain to the old monk in front of him now? Looking at me with a relaxed face, my heart was like turning over the river and the sea.
