Chapter 438: The Book of Life and Death at the Bottom of the Five Dragons Pond (3)
"Let's go. Zhang Quanzhong said.
I walked out, and he walked over and took Jingguan Xiaowu's hand and pulled her out.
"We'll be back, I promise you, we'll make a comeback and bring you home. He said softly.
When I got back to the gourd-shaped stone room, I took out my phone and took pictures of all the handwriting on the walls.
"Brother Xia, when faced with too much information, if you don't have enough concentration, you will get lost. Zhang Quanzhong reminded me, "So, I suggest that you don't get distracted too much, and it's best to stop in moderation." ”
I smiled, checked the clarity of the photos I had taken, and then added a few more shots of the unclear spots.
No matter who left these handwritings, they are worth cherishing and learning from future generations.
At a glance, I saw this passage again: "Parents should not be partial to their children, and they must always be even-handed with a bowl of water." This is the most difficult art to master, but we must do it, otherwise there will be endless troubles. There are no ten days in the sky, and there is no double dragon on the earth. Ten days, nine out of ten will be destroyed and one will remain, and one of the two dragons will die and the world will be peaceful. The most difficult choice to make is the most important choice to make, a choice that cannot be replaced by others. Just as my index finger and middle finger are both sick, cut off one of them and be cured. Who can teach me to cut off the index finger and middle finger, and it hurts to cut it. This knife will be cut down after all. I'm wandering around here, I'm undecided, it's all about this. After Cangjie made words, no one has ever been able to extract the supreme wisdom from the words, and today starts with me, and things can be expected......"
I can't help but sigh, I wonder if the predecessors who left the wall full of words have finally had an epiphany, or have been cocooned and trapped to death.
"Words that can be written down are not educational. The pain that can be said is not the pain of the skin. Brother Xia, if you want to comprehend the secrets of the Five Dragons Pond through these words, it is really in vain. I read these words for three and a half years, pondering the gist of them for more than a thousand days, only to be disappointed. Shoot it, don't 'things in things', be a cocoon to bind yourself......" Zhang Quanzhong has already exited the stone room and walked back.
Jingguan Xiaowu followed him, hanging his head, and his mood was very low.
I made up the last photo and hurried out of the gourd-shaped stone chamber to chase them.
Strangely, at a three-way intersection, I couldn't even see their backs. Intuitively, I should have entered the tunnel in front of me, which was the opposite path to where I came.
"Where to the left?" I accidentally glanced ahead to the left, and found that the masonry above my head, the stone cracks on the wall, and the bluestone slabs under my feet all looked familiar.
So far, I haven't found the stone room with a crystal skylight that I was trapped in at the same time as Jingguan Xiaowu.
Following the hints of the Sixth Sense, I was sure that as long as I entered the tunnel in front of the left, I would be able to reach that place directly.
"Let's go and see first, revisit the old place, and see how Jingguan Xiaowu came to the real world with the help of the instant confusion of the illusion. Following Zhang Quanzhong, he only showed me what I should see, completely imprisoning my mind...... "I thought as I stepped forward, entering the strange and familiar passage in front of me.
The further I went, the clearer my thinking became, and I ran all the way despite the danger.
Soon, I was in the stone chamber and looked up under the crystal window.
The water of Wulongtan is on the side of the crystal window, it is now an era of peace, there will be no more bloody killings of Wulongtan tragedy, there is only the sound of peace and joy outside.
I looked around the room, and it seemed that I saw the scene of Xiao Wu, a quiet official at the end of the road, huddled in a corner of the stone room.
Now, our worst enemy is no longer the Japanese invaders, but the lord of the superlord shark in the East China Sea. In order to overthrow her, I am willing to be a match in the vast dark night, burning myself and illuminating others.
With a thud, the crystal window above his head suddenly shook, as if he had been hit by something heavy.
I looked up and saw that the crystal window was tightly covered by something.
When the thing moved sideways with the turbulence of the water, I immediately saw that it was a man, a drowning man.
Of course, the man leaned down, and I could see the other person's face clearly.
Just this look, I felt like I had fallen into the ice cave of the cold winter wax moon, my heart was cold from head to toe, and my body was frozen from the outside to the inside, and I had lost any ability to think.
Outside the crystal window was Lian Chengbi's face, which I was so familiar with that I thought she was joking for a moment, but after a little calming down, I realized—"Lian Chengbi is dead, and the danger is not far away." ”
I didn't even have time to exhale the pain, so I turned around and ran out, wanting to pass this terrible message to Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu.
It was at that fork in the road that the three of us bumped into each other.
"Connecting the city...... Dead!" I struggled to convey these five words in two paragraphs.
Zhang Quanzhong's calm smile froze on his face, but he was very calm, and immediately ordered: "Lead the way in front of the head, let's go and have a look." ”
In my subconscious, I never thought that Lianchengbi would die.
She is so resolute and tenacious, she can come up with countermeasures in time when she encounters any problem, open the road in the mountains, and build bridges in the water, which is worthy of the status of "the second-in-command of the Qin King Society".
We are all still young, even in the midst of bloody rivers and lakes, but we all firmly believe that we can turn danger into disaster at any critical moment, jump from the place where others have fallen, and achieve extraordinary careers.
Now, she's dead—she's dead, just the last time Zhang Quanzhong played a game.
I took Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu to the end of the passage, my feet were a little flustered, my body kept swaying from side to side, and my shoulders continued to hit the wall.
Soon, we arrived at the stone chamber with a crystal skylight.
Jingguan Xiaowu sighed: "It's here again, alas, it's here again!"
Zhang Quanzhong strode past me, walked under the skylight, and looked up.
I had a premonition that my emotions were collapsing, and I immediately leaned my back against the wall and bit the tip of my tongue.
The scene in front of them began to rotate, and Zhang Quanzhong and Jingguan Xiaowu, who were obviously standing straight, also seemed to have become characters in the haha mirror, suddenly thick as a fight, and suddenly thin and tall as a rod.
"What's going on? Did Miss Lian already have an accident when you arrived here?" asked Zhang Quanzhong.
His voice became distant, like a broken drum beating.
"Less than a minute after I came in, she fell into the water. I concentrated all my strength to get these two words out of my throat.
I couldn't bear to look at the skylight, and I didn't dare to look at the face outside the skylight, and I kept saying in my heart: "If only I didn't leave her alone, if only I didn't leave her alone......"
It wasn't, and if it weren't for the omen, maybe I would have brought her in with me.
The four of them are all experts, since I, Zhang Quanzhong, and Jingguan Xiaowu have a premonition at the same time, then even Chengbi will not be ignorant.
It is precisely because we try to avoid the omen that the truly tragic events occur.
"Let's go up and find someone to help Miss Lian go ashore first. Zhang Quanzhong said.
I couldn't help but howl: "She's dead, it's useless to save her from the shore...... She's dead, she's dead......"
"Don't get excited, Brother Xia, I'll figure it out, I'll figure it out!" Zhang Quanzhong clapped his hands together, trying to awaken my willpower.
I commanded myself with what I had left: "Go get snuff, snuff will save your life, go get snuff, go get ......"
At this time, my limbs were no longer obedient, and the simple action of taking out the snuff box from my pocket took at least half a minute, and then I cooperated with both hands and unscrewed the lid, and I didn't have time to knock the snuff into the "snuff hole" of my wrist, but directly approached the nostrils.
"Lian Chengbi must not want to see a completely collapsed summer stone, she is dead, I have to be stronger, take care of everything behind her. Even if she died, she would look at me from heaven and silently all the time. "I forced myself to calm down, and the snuff left by Wang Yu did have an incredible effect, and after smelling it a few times, my mind gradually cleared up.
"I'll go up first, and you'll come next. Zhang Quanzhong had already rushed out of the stone room.
"Take care. "Jingguan Xiaowu kindly persuaded me.
The numbness in my hands and feet disappeared, and I grabbed the snuffbox and knocked it on the snuff point of my right wrist six or seven times in a row, and then inhaled a large pinch of snuff in one go, and I couldn't help but choke on it.
"Lian Chengbi won't die, and I won't let her die. Mr. Zhang can solve the 'dead poison' and can think of a way to solve any problem. I said word for word.
"Mr. Xia, don't get into the horns, there are no two problems in the world that are exactly the same, and their solutions must be different. I thought, let's go out first, and then think about the long term. Jingguan Xiaowu said.
I turned and walked out, stumbling and nearly falling to my knees.
Jingguan Xiaowu walked over quickly, grabbed my right arm with great difficulty, and helped me forward.
It was quite a long way from the stone chamber to the chasm in the river, and I fell at least twenty times, and my whole body was covered in dust. If it weren't for Jingguan Xiaowu's help, I'm afraid that the number of times I fell would have doubled.
We went ashore along the stainless steel ladder and went straight south along the river bank without stopping to rest.
Just half an hour ago, Lian Chengbi and I had passed by this road. Only half an hour later, she was gone, and in a desperately tragic way.
"Guess...... Who could be the murderer?" my voice was hoarse and I could barely speak.
"If the tragedy is caused by me, then the murderer is the lord of the merman or the person he sent; if the tragedy is related to the power of the rivers and lakes in Jinan City, then the murderer may be the enemy of the Qin Wanghui; if the tragedy is related to the fate of Miss Lian, it is the will of God. Jingguan Xiaowu listed all the possibilities, but none of them were certain.
I sneered and struggled forward.
If Lian Chengbi really dies, I will be the enemy of the above three forces for the rest of my life, and I will never compromise.
Her death, like a hammer, struck me in the heart. Then, my heart seemed to have gone with her, and my chest was empty, and there was nothing left.
We climbed over the north wall of Wulongtan Park, slightly discerned the direction, and went straight to the cherry blossom forest on the west side of the lake.
In the past four years, the Wulongtan Cherry Blossom Festival has become a fixed viewing program for Jinan people. Half of these cherry blossom trees come from Xiangne Prefecture, Japan's famous cherry blossom producing area, and half from Wuhan University in Hubei Province, and they are all selected authentic varieties of the time.
The first time I saw the castle through the crystal window, I noticed that there were cherry blossom petals floating in the water, so I decided that the skylight was here.
Zhang Quanzhong was standing at the edge of the cherry blossom forest at the moment, and seven or eight workers had already rowed into the water, holding on to the penny and slowly heading to the south by sticking to the edge of the pool.
"Give me a pair of water to lean on, and I'll go down...... I'll go down ......" I couldn't scream, I could only beg Jingguan Xiaowu.
"You're not in the right mood and can't go down. Mr. Xia, you sit down first and let the workers look for it. Jingguan Xiaowu shook her head and refused.
I felt the world spinning again, and the whole Wulong Pond was spinning left and right around me. In the end, the pond is in the sky, the moon is at the feet, and the five dragon pools have been turned upside down.
"Well, pour out all the water in the pool, and you will find her. "My mind was already in a state of confusion, and I burst out laughing. Laughing and laughing, a mouthful of blood gushed through his throat and sprayed on the cherry blossom tree with a wow.
"Lianchengbi, Ah Bi, Ah Bi, how can you leave me-" This was the sentence that I shouted in the most high-key, sharpest, most painful, and most angry voice before I fell into a coma.
God really harmed me, I just helped Zhang Quanzhong wake up Jingguan Xiaowu, not seeking fame and fortune, selfless dedication, just to promote their lovers to finally become married. I did a great deed, but God gave me a backhand slap and instantly snatched away the young life of Lianchengbi.
Is it really as the old Jinan people said - good people don't live long, and disasters will be 10,000 years?
In this change, God treats me too harshly, I don't accept it, I will never accept it. So this time, I want to shake the power of heaven in anger and take back Lianchengbi from the hands of the Nine Shadows Yama King again.
I treat people with all my enthusiasm, I put the defense of the national honor as the priority, I am proud to be a Jinan person, and I take the maintenance of peace in the rivers and lakes as my own responsibility...... I was ready to be a good person, but I was hit hard by God. So, does God want me to be a cynical, unloving country, unloving hometown, and a ruthless, unrighteous, disloyal and unfilial person?
What is the use of such an indiscriminate heaven that is right and wrong? I want to rise up and smash the blue sky with a stick, and I will also learn from Zhang Quanzhong, and I will take Lianchengbi to "jump out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements."
When she dies, I die.
I live, and I want her to live.
In this life, that's all.
