Chapter 32: Acquaintances in the Deserted Temple on a Rainy Day

"The road of life is like a dream.

The road is windy and frosty, and the wind and frost are dry.

In the red dust, there are many directions for sweet dreams......"

This can be said to be Ji Quan's first long trip.

Dressed as a scholar, he rode on a yellow horse, looking at the vast wild grass and wild forests beside the road, and couldn't help humming this song.

The sky was overcast, far away from the county seat, and all the sights were desolate.

The road was lined with either lush trees or half-man-high weeds, and from time to time some strange-looking statues stood on the side of the road, with burnt incense sticks in front of them......

Such a picture always gives Ji Que the illusion of entering the world of "Qianyu Ghost".

From Sangshui County to Tianren City, there was a thousand miles of road in the middle, but Ji Que estimated that he walked less than forty miles before something happened.

The yellow horse originally ran well on the road, but as Ji Que's riding skills became more and more skillful, he just had a bit of a taste of unity between men and horses.

As a result, the yellow horse stepped into a hidden mud pit, and if it weren't for his good skills, he was afraid that he would have fallen from the horse in a dog's posture of gnawing.

The most depressing thing is that the horse's leg is still broken, and after coming out of the pit, it limps.

"Wouldn't it, so unlucky?" Ji Que couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, once he left the area of Sangshui County, bad luck struck again.

But bad luck is bad luck, and seeing that the perception bar, which had not moved much for a long time, suddenly moved, it gave him some comfort.

He bought this horse for eighty taels of silver, and looking at its limping appearance, Ji Que couldn't help but feel a little distressed about the silver.

If this leg is really useless, even if it is sold again, I am afraid it will not be able to sell for a price.

So, after a burst of horse roar, a scholar carrying a horse appeared on the road.

The yellow horse was carried on his body, and the face of the horse was panicked and uneasy.

It has lived for more than ten years, and has never been ridden by people, and has never been treated like this by a rider.

There is really a lot of air circulation in the body, and it is not a problem for Ji Que to carry a horse to walk, but this thing is the same as the schoolbag when he was studying in the previous life, and it is a burden after all, so he couldn't help complaining: "I originally wanted to buy you to save trouble and effort, but I didn't expect to buy an ancestor." ”

Walking and walking, with a click, Ji Que paused, and suddenly found that he had stepped on.

It's that's still stepping on!

So there was a beautiful picture of a scholar carrying a horse scraping horse feces on the side of the road.

Ji Que walked on the road with his horse on his shoulder, looking at the lead clouds in the sky that were getting thicker and thicker, and couldn't help but say, "How does this look like it's going to rain." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a raindrop fell on his head.

Ji Que couldn't help but be even more surprised, and said: "This rain is coming, but fortunately, the rain this season can't be too big." ”

As a result, after a dozen or so breaths, the rain crackled and fell.

"Holy!"

Ji Que was suddenly covered by the rain, and couldn't help but complain.

Autumn showers are really painful.

Ji Que and the horse were quickly drenched, and the ground became muddy.

This rain is normal rain, but it is freezing rain.

He can resist it with his true qi protection, but I'm afraid this horse won't be able to bear it.

I really bought an ancestor.

Ji Que let out a breath of white air and couldn't help but speed up his pace.

There were many shrubs on both sides of the road ahead, and they looked like shaking ghosts in the rain.

At this time, Ji Que's eyes suddenly lit up.

In the midst of the rain, a ramp that went up diagonally led to a high place, and at the end of the ramp, there was a faint outline of a building.

I finally found a place to shelter from the rain.

Ji Que carried the horse all the way up, and found that there was a temple on the slope, which looked like it should be deserted.

The red walls are mottled and covered with a lot of green moss, like the face of a skin patient in the rain.

Seeing that the yellow horse was trembling, Ji Que didn't think much about it, and went straight into the temple with the horse.

As soon as he entered the temple, he saw a cluster of fire, which was supposed to be someone lighting a fire to keep warm.

The rain was so frozen.

Ji Que came to the dilapidated eaves and put the horse down.

The yellow horse shook his body and shook off countless rains.

Ji Que led it with a limp and walked towards the place where the fire was lit.

He didn't want to disturb others, but the temple was in disrepair and badly damaged, so the two rooms were well preserved.

As soon as Ji Que approached the place where it was supposed to be the main hall, he saw a man and a woman sitting next to a bonfire, and two coffins next to them.

At this time, the man and woman also looked at him.

As a scholar, he has always been very polite, and said: "It's raining in the sky, and I want to borrow the ground to avoid the rain, is it inconvenient for you?" ”

At this time, the man by the bonfire stood up and asked suspiciously, "Ji Que, is it you?" ”

Ji Que didn't expect that someone in this barren mountain and wild mountain ruined temple would know his name, so he couldn't help but get closer.

"Li Sankai?" Ji Que looked at the face by the bonfire and wondered.

"It's really you." Li San said with a smile.

Li Sankai was Ji Que's classmate, if Tang Yi and he are Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, this Li classmate is the third person.

However, he should be quite self-aware, and after studying for a year and a half, he found that it was not the material for reading, so he resolutely went home and inherited the coffin shop at home, unlike Ji Que and Tang Yi.

Li Sankai's coffin is very famous, it is said to be a century-old shop, and when Sangshui County was still a town, his family's coffin shop was there.

The barren mountains and wild mountains met acquaintances, and I have to say that it was fate.

Li Sankai didn't know what happened to Ji Que later, so he was close to him, so he hurriedly beckoned him to come over to roast the fire.

Ji Que was not polite and sat straight over.

In addition to the matter of studying for exams, Ji Que has always been very self-aware.

He concluded that although he was unlucky, he was not a lone star in the traditional sense.

Whether it is stepping on, encountering a kitchen knife or brick that suddenly flies, or encountering a tiger encountered by stepping on the green, he is basically hit with precision and rarely hurts others.

When he accumulates his understanding, it is as if there is a magnetic field around him that will attract bad luck, and wherever he walks, he will attract bad luck from that place.

In Xue Zhutou's previous words, where to go, where to go where the accident happened.

This couldn't help but remind him of a certain elementary school student in an anime in his previous life.

It's just that primary school students are making others unlucky, and Ji Que is himself.

In short, he will not easily hurt others, and he will bear all the pain, which is why Ji Que dares to be close to Tang Yi with confidence and boldness.

He felt that his classmates avoided him, and it was obvious that they were making a big fuss.

He's not that scary, really.

When he met a tiger in the green, the tiger still stared at him and chased him alone, without looking at the others.

It's a pity that except for Tang Yi, other classmates are prejudiced against him.

After the horses were settled, Ji Que sat by the bonfire and quickly communicated with Li Sankai.

It turned out that the coffin of the Li family had a good reputation because of its exquisite craftsmanship, workmanship and material selection, so that many large families in other towns came here to order coffins.

No, a rich old woman in Liu Huaicheng was terminally ill, and the doctor made it clear that she would not be able to live for half a year.

The old woman was quite conscious, thinking that she was dying, so she confessed to her children that she must order her Nanmu coffin for the Li family in Sangshui County, and she also needed two pairs at a time, saying that after the old man of his family left, he also used this.

So after the coffin was ready, Li Sankai and his sister Li Mei came out to deliver the goods, who would have thought that suddenly it would rain in the sky, and there was no store in the village before, so they could only run to this temple to avoid the rain.

"I didn't expect you and me to be so fateful, this can be met." Li San said with a smile.

Next to her, Li Sankai's sister Li Mei saw that Ji Que looked handsome, and she used to walk outside, but she was quite arrogant, but she was faintly embarrassed.

After chatting for a while, Ji Que couldn't help but observe the surrounding environment.

This room is not small, it should be the main hall of the temple, and there is a dilapidated statue of Guanyin standing on the altar.

The facial features of the statue are very blurred, and there are some cobwebs stuck to it, so it does not look solemn in such weather, and it looks ghostly.

The temple has a front yard and a back yard.

There is a pond in the backyard, the water is muddy, and the duckweed is floating.

The pine tree in the middle of the pond is long dead, like an old corpse, and some strips of red cloth that used to be hung on it when pilgrims made their vows can be faintly seen.

The desolate temple on a rainy day, such an environment is really a bit of a "Chinese ghost story".

When Ji Que went to see the Guanyin statue again, he felt more and more weird.

The shoulders of this statue are too wide, and when compared, it appears that the head and lower body are small and somewhat deformed.

The mud tire itself is quite rough, and there are no traces of lacquering, as if it was left here before it was finished.

In short, if you look at it a few more times, your heart will not feel very comfortable.

At this time, Ji Que raised his eyebrows and looked outside.

In the rain, some dark shadows appeared at the door of the deserted temple.

Someone again?
