Chapter Twenty-Four: An Unknown Woman
After Li Xuyang came out of the black hole, he looked around. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
In front of it is a cliff, and behind it, there is a temple. Li Xuyang was also a little puzzled, who would build the temple in front of the cliff?
He walked around the back of the temple and was slightly surprised when he came to the front. The ruined temple had been abandoned for many years, with a collapsed roof, cracked walls and floors, and cobwebs, making it look very dilapidated.
Li Xuyang walked in, and what he saw in front of him was not the plaster statues of various immortals, but two stone statues, one black and one white.
The black stone statue, dressed in black, with a high hat on his head, holds a chain in one hand and a wooden sign with the word "Ling" written on it. On the top hat, there are four big characters written "The world is peaceful".
The other pure white stone statue, dressed in white, spits out a long red tongue. He is also wearing a high hat, holding something like a mourning stick in one hand, and holding a wooden sign with the word "Ling" in the other hand, and there are also four big characters on the hat on his head, "Fortune at first sight". (Some sources say "I'm catching you and you're coming" on the black and white hats, while others say these eight words.) The previous article used the previous statement, and now the latter is used, which is all correct, and I personally think that the former should be the most correct. )
The two stone statues are carved to life, as if two real people are standing there, one with a sad face and the other with a smile, which makes people shudder.
Of course, Li Xuyang is no stranger to these two, isn't this black and white impermanence? How could someone worship these two people, no, two ghosts?
In front of the stone statue, a table of eight immortals fell to the ground, and the table of eight immortals was already half rotten. The incense sticks on the ground and the incense that had not been burned fell to the ground.
"What kind of place is this?" Li Xuyang looked around, this was not the first time he had come to the underworld, even if he hadn't traveled all the underworld, he knew that there shouldn't be such a place.
He walked out of this temple, which no longer knew whether it was due to the age or man-made destruction, and when he came outside, he looked at everything in front of him.
In front of him is a very desolate plain, there is not a single grass or flower on the ground, not even the highlands, potholes can be seen. He is now very skeptical that he has come to the wrong place, but when he thinks about it, he feels that he should not be, how could he go to the wrong place?
Besides, where did everyone else go?
After Li Xuyang walked out of the temple, he walked forward, in front of him was a flat land that could not be seen at a glance, and he kept walking forward, wanting to leave here and join the others.
I don't know how long I walked, Li Xuyang felt tired, so he stopped. The ground was still flat in front of him, and when he looked back, he was surprised by the scene in front of him.
"Why are you still in front of the temple?" Li Xuyang looked at the temple behind him, he was very sure that he had walked for almost an hour, but did this temple have legs and follow him for an hour?
How could he believe that? And when he went around the temple, he saw the cliff.
"You haven't moved here?"
Li Xuyang looked at the temple, and his heart was almost on the verge of collapse. Forget it if you get separated from other people, you still have to play with him like this, which suddenly makes him a little angry.
“md。 Li Xuyang scolded, took out the Hundred Ghost Staff, and walked into the temple again.
"Come out, do you have the ability to come out?" Li Xuyang was like crazy, waving around with a hundred ghost staff, but there was nothing else except for the wind caused by his own wielding the hundred ghost staff.
"Huhu~"
Finally, Li Xuyang was a little tired, and then sat on the ground, staring at black and white impermanence.
"Is black and white impermanence playing with himself?" Li Xuyang guessed as he looked at the two stone statues. But after thinking about it again, it feels impossible, the current underworld doesn't know what it has become, where do they still have such idle time?
But if not, why are the other places dilapidated, but these two stone statues seem to be cleaned every day, and they look so clean?
"You're here?"
While Li Xuyang was thinking about it, a woman's voice came into his ears. And when he looked towards the source of the sound, he found a woman standing outside the temple, looking at him with a smile.
"Who are you?" asked Li Xuyang, looking at the strange woman. This woman, with good facial features and an ancient white dress, has a special appearance that does not eat fireworks in the world.
The skin is white, and it can be broken by blowing. His eyes were blazing, his bright eyes exuded a charming light, and he was matching ancient clothes, if it weren't for Li Xuyang's still a little consciousness now, he would feel that he had traveled to ancient times.
"Have you forgotten me?" The woman put her hands in front of her, took a light step, and stepped on the steps beside Li Xuyang, smiling unchanged.
"Girl, this is the first time we've met, right?, why did you say that I forgot about you?" Li Xuyang got up from the ground, and then looked at her suspiciously.
"You really drank Meng Po soup, reincarnated, and forgot your past life. Forgot about me too, forgot about what happened between us. The woman came to stand one meter in front of Li Xuyang, and after hearing Li Xuyang's words, her face couldn't help but show sadness.
"Drink Meng Po soup?" Li Xuyang felt that this was like a joke, the most ridiculous joke in the world. Who is reincarnated and does not drink Meng Po soup?
"Since you've forgotten each other, why bother thinking about it?" the woman was a little regretful, and after making sure that Li Xuyang didn't remember anything, she turned around and was about to leave.
"Girl, can you tell me where this is?" Li Xuyang looked at her and said hurriedly.
He didn't have time to waste time here, he had to get out of here as soon as possible.
"Here? this is where we first met. The woman turned to him and gave him an innocent smile.
"The first time we met? here? This is a broken temple?" Li Xuyang was a little confused, but he immediately reacted again, is this not the first time we have met?
"Can the girl tell me how I got out of here? I have something to do, and when I get back, will I hear you tell you about our old stories?"
"No, you can't get out. This is the Netherworld, not the Netherworld. ”
"Scared?" Li Xuyang was taken aback again, wasn't he going to the underworld?
"I'll never be able to walk out, is that what you mean?"
"Yes. The woman nodded at him.
After Li Xuyang heard this affirmative answer, his body shook a little, and he almost didn't stand firm and sat on the ground.
"Xianggong. ”
After seeing Li Xuyang's reaction, the woman immediately stepped forward to support him.
"What do you call me?" Li Xuyang looked at the woman with a blank face, Xianggong, what is the situation?
"You've forgotten everything. ”
The woman let go of Li Xuyang, and her tears were like beads with broken threads, dripping down her cheeks and falling to the ground.
"Ah~" When the woman was crying, Li Xuyang suddenly felt that his heart was being pricked, painful, very painful.
"I'm sorry, I didn't want to lie to you, but I really forgot everything that happened to you. Li Xuyang clutched his chest, the feeling of heartache became more and more serious, even his breathing began to become difficult, and his brain was gradually losing consciousness.
"Are you tired, lie down and rest!" the woman's right hand waved, and a bedside appeared in the middle of the temple in the open space. She hugged Li Xuyang and put him on the bed.
Li Xuyang knew that the woman in front of him was not a person, but what was it if she wasn't a person?
His eyelids began to heavily, and he tried to open them, only to find that he didn't have the strength at all. The pain in his chest made him faint.
After the woman saw Li Xuyang fall asleep, she also lay down beside him, put her hand on his body, and held it firmly in her arms.
"Xianggong, we will never be separated. ”
I don't know how long it took, Li Xuyang opened his eyes, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a person exactly like himself standing in front of him.
The man was drenched, it was pouring rain outside, and thunder sounded from time to time, which illuminated the situation in the ruined temple very clearly.
Li Xuyang looked at his other self, he was dressed like an ancient scholar, and looking at the heavy rain outside the door, he looked helpless.
"Alas, I'm going to take the exam in Beijing tomorrow, but it's raining heavily at this time, what can I do?" The man paced back and forth in the ruined temple with some anxiety.
Li Xuyang knows that the examination in ancient times was very important, and it was as good as the current college entrance examination. It is not easy to be able to enter Beijing for the exam.
Li Xuyang came to him and wanted to ask him, but found that the other party couldn't see him at all. I am like a transparent person, I can't see or touch it, so the other party will definitely not be able to hear it.
And just when he was in a hurry, the self in front of him suddenly stopped, took out a tattered umbrella from his bag, and wanted to brave the rainy night to go to the capital.
And just as he was about to walk out of the doorway, a bolt of lightning came down from the sky and struck directly in front of the man, and when the light of the lightning illuminated the earth, he saw something lying in front of him.
He propped up his umbrella and braved the rain to go outside, only to find that it was a woman who had fainted in the rain for some unknown reason.
He tossed the umbrella aside, lifted the woman from the ground, and returned to the temple. After putting down the woman, he hurriedly put together some of the useful hay and sticks in the temple, then took out the flint and made a fire.
Li Xuyang stood there and quietly watched the scene in front of him, the woman was the woman he saw at the beginning, and she was also dressed in the same white clothes, but in comparison, there was a more mature taste than before.
