Volume 1 Chapter 14 The Dream of the Sleeping King

With Tang Weizi's frightened voice, several people looked down, and the face of the paper man who opened the white curtain was outlined by someone with a fine brush, and the painting skills revealed in the lines were simply superb, and the demeanor was depicted vividly with a few strokes. Zhang Stayed up all night and the others couldn't help but feel furious, since he was woken up by Xu Darttou, the current encounter simply broke through all his cognition and imagination, and he felt an indescribable fear, and this fear came from the unknown.

Dozens of people and horses disappeared in the dart bureau, Master Qiu turned into the resentful and weird snake-necked evil thing, and Xu Dart disappeared with the watchman, at this time, in the ancestral courtyard of this uninhabited village, only a few people were shocked in the face of this paper man all over the ground.

As the paper figures on the ground revealed their true faces, Zhang Jiuye and the others became more and more frightened.

They knew every face painted by this strange paper figure all over the ground, and it was all the dart team.

At this time, several people were silent, and the atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.

Sun Ganlu suddenly whispered, "Strange, there's a face missing here." ”

Hearing this, the rest of the teenagers looked at the girl at the same time.

"It's ...... There is no fat master's. Sun Ganlu said timidly, "It's also possible that I'm dazzled, I'll count it again." ”

Zhang stayed up all night and frowned, and said, "Let's look for it together, and we will all look at it again." ”

Then when the four of them faced each other, they found that there was really no fat monk.

Tang Weizi touched his head, "Is it because he's too fat?" Maybe this brother lost his interest in painting when he saw his fat face? ”

At this time, he can still talk nonsense, I don't know if he is bold or lacking heart, Sun Ganlu can't help but glance at him. Xu Ying, who was sitting on the ground with a wound in the shoulder, said cautiously, "Could it be because the master is a member of the Three Sects?" My family believes in Buddhism, and when I was a child, I heard my grandmother say that monks and Taoists are not afraid of demons and evil ways when they go to the rivers and lakes. The paintings of these paper figures and the ...... in the ancestral hall Those monsters can't be the right way, right? ”

Zhang stayed up all night and didn't speak, he didn't know what the situation was with Xu Dart Tou at the moment, it was the middle of the night at this time, and it was the middle of the night when he went out to investigate the situation, and he was still in a few hours before dawn, and Xu Ying was already injured, leaving the three of them here until dawn was the most reasonable choice at present.

After making up his mind, Zhang stayed up all night and settled down a little. Feeling a chill in the middle of the night, he glanced at the silent ancestral hall behind him, and thought of the strange faces whose necks were as long as pillars, and they couldn't go in at this time.

Tang Weizi suddenly shouted, "Those who stayed up late, come and see, there are words on this lantern and gong." I don't know much about reading, what do you think it's written on it? ”

Zhang stayed up all night and heard the words, his heart moved, how could he forget the things that were left behind. Sun Ganlu took out the extinguished candle from the lantern, took out the flint from his waist, lit the candle after a while, asked Tang Weizi to lift the lantern, and carefully stuffed the candlelight back into the lantern.

The candlelight shines through the lantern, reflecting the sallow faces of the girls gathered around. Sun Ganlu leaned in front of the lantern, staring intently at the small characters on it, while Zhang stayed up all night holding the worn-out gong, and with the help of some lamps, he found that the gong was written in a kind of writing that he had never seen before.

"Speechless, sitting in vain, the corpse is to blame, not stingy with soup, Rosewood is passed on, and the soul is ......" Sun Ganlu read word by word, and the teenagers on the side were confused.

“…… Yan Zun preached, the lamp gave Qiang, the words were too old, and the lamp was blessed. ”

Tang Weizi nodded after hearing this, suddenly came back to his senses, and asked, "Wait, wait, what is this writing?" What do you mean by drinking soup and passing on books? ”

Although Zhang stayed up late and went to private school for a few years when he was a child, he didn't understand much, just looking at Sun Ganlu, the girl saw that several people were looking at her, waiting for her to give an answer, she lowered her head a little shyly, "This seems to be ...... It is a prayer, presumably a prayer to a god called Tai Sui, for prayers, blessings, sacrifices, and summonses, but the text and content are so obscure that they seem to have been written in very old scripts. ”

Zhang stayed up all night and nodded, looked at the girl and said, "Miss Sun, you are so literate, you used to be a lady from a scholarly family, right?" I've also read books for a few years, and I'm afraid I don't recognize a lot of words on it. ”

Sun Ganlu seemed reluctant to mention her past experience, but lowered her head silently.

Tang Weizi was puzzled: "Tai Sui? Queen Mother, I know, Tai Sui is an immortal in the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism? ”

Xu Ying, who looked a little weak because of the injury, suddenly said, "Second stunned brother, don't you know? Tai Sui is not the right way to worship, my hometown used to have villagers worship Tai Sui Temple, said that it is very effective to ask for a child, the most important thing for the villagers in the countryside is not to give birth to a big fat son in the family to inherit the ancestry, and grow up to grow up a lot and a few acres of land...... Therefore, the incense is very strong, and it is said that you can also make a wish. ”

Tang Weizi asked, "What is the wish?" ”

The girl whispered, "For example, if you hate someone to the bone, you wish him to choke to death by drinking water, and if you go out and are hit by a horse, and fall into the water across a bridge and drown, this is a wish." ”

Tang Weizi was amazed when he heard this, Zhang stayed up all night staring at the lantern with the Tai Sui edict written on it, and asked Xu Ying: "Then if this Tai Sui Temple is not the god of the three religions, isn't it an obscene temple?" ”

Xu Ying sighed, "It is said that it is said that one emperor, two kings and three religions are used, which ordinary people in the world will not be able to talk about it?" But this world is so big, and the number of Confucian scholars is the largest number of countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, and the world is as big as the East Zhou Dynasty, the South China Sea, the West Sea, and the North Sea. Not even to mention it, what kind of rural obscene shrines such as Tai Sui Temple, Huai Dirty Cave, and Sick Master Temple in our township, there is enough silver to manage some of the monks and Taoists who used to chant and beat Jiao. ”

Sun Ganlu suddenly said: "By the way, stay up late, brother, what is written on that gong?" ”

Zhang stayed up all night without speaking, and handed over the rusty gong. Sun Ganlu took the gong, glanced at it and shook his head, "I don't know this kind of writing. ”

Zhang stayed up all night and was about to nod his head, but suddenly paused, Sun Ganlu looked up at him, only to see the young man sneering and laughing, "It's a pity, I still expect you to recognize this dog-like text." ”

The young man's face was calm, but his heart was turbulent. In his heart, a familiar voice came.

"Master Zhang, she's lying, don't listen to her."

Zhang stayed up all night and stood with a gun, his eyes casually swept around.

"Don't look at it, the little monk can't come in, rely on the string of Buddhist beads in your hand to talk to you."

"Stinky donor, I'll make a long story short, you and everyone in the dart team are in a dream at this time, what you see now is all fake, what I say next, you have to listen carefully, it's up to you whether you wake up or not......"

"There are lantern shaking sects near this village, and those demons may have already laid a prohibition, and when you fall asleep, they will pull you into the dream of the sleeping king. It's a pity that the little monk found out late by negligence, and now you are all asleep, only you have found a way to wake up, but it's a pity that the dream of the sleeping king is the outer dream of the demon god such as Tai Sui, and the little monk has never entered the Buddhist luck as a person in the Buddhist sect, so he doesn't know how to get out. ”

"As for this Tai Sui, he is also called the Sleeping King. The Shaking Lantern Sect, the Hoo Sect, the Sleeping King Hall and the Tai Sui Temple are all worshipping him, but they are different, and they are also competing with each other to kill each other, anyway, the little monk seems that the evil brains of this group of believers in the gods are not normal. The watchman you saw earlier was taught by the lantern. ”

“…… As for the group of people of the Shaking Lantern Sect, they are almost all blind, and their eyeballs are cut off and dedicated to Tai Sui, in exchange for obtaining the supernatural power that can freely enter and exit Tai Sui's dream, but you just need to know that you are all in the dream of the sleeping king now. As long as it's a dream, no matter what happens, no matter how real it looks, it's all fake. You have to hurry, you won't wake up after a long time. ”

"The little monk can't see your dreams, but he can hear you through this Buddha bead, and this little benefactor can just recite the words on the lantern of the lantern of the Shaking Lantern Sect, isn't it? But she said that she didn't recognize the sleeping text on the gong of the lantern teaching, so she was exposed, and she was fake. Because the text of the Shaking Lantern Sect is also written in sleeping script, if you don't believe it, you can take a closer look. ”

Zhang stayed up all night quietly taking the lantern, quietly walked to the door of the ancestral hall, and carried the lantern full of inscriptions into it to take a closer look.

Under Zhang's gaze, the small seal of Beihai, which he was very familiar with written one by one on the lantern oil paper, seemed to come to life little by little under the reflection of the candlelight, first crookedly began to deform, then with strange twists and tremors, and finally turned into a strange symbol as deformed and twisted as on the gong.

Zhang stayed up all night to hold back the shaking in his heart, and said in a very low voice with a suppressed voice: "You are right, the text on the lantern has changed. Is Miss Sun fake? Is it a lantern shaker? What should I do? Are you going to kill her? ”

The fat monk's voice sounded in Zhang Jiuye's heart, "In fact, the little monk doesn't know it, it may be a lantern teaching, or it may be an illusion woven in the dream of the sleeping king, but Sun Xiao donor is also asleep on the haystack next to you at the moment, if you meet another Sun Xiao donor next to you, then this is fake." But these lantern-shaking teachings seem to have great magical powers in the dream of the sleeping king, but in reality, except for a handful of people with some status, the others are blind, and it is difficult to beg for food. ”

Zhang stayed up all night and imagined the scene of the two Sun Ganlu in front of him, "...... Is it possible that this Sun Ganlu is real? ”

The fat monk's voice was silent for a moment.

"It's possible, but it's even worse. If she is true, then this shows that this little benefactor Sun was taught by shaking the lamp from the beginning. ”
