Two hundred and sixty-three, wake up
Ouyang Rong opened his eyes,
Lying in a beam of moonlight.
Pitch black on all sides,
The only source of light is a circular hole about ten meters above the head.
It's like a small skylight.
A beam of gray moonlight fell from it alone, reflecting that the 'man under the moon' was already cold in his limbs, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
The moonlight is cold, it seems to be early morning, and the night is as cold as water.
Ouyang Rong felt that he had a long, long dream, and there were some strange things in the dream, and there was something that seemed to be very warm and important.
But after opening his eyes, this "dream" gradually drifted away, and this very warm and important thing also faded away, and the back was blurred.
I can't hold it even if I stretch out my hand.
He couldn't remember what it really was for a moment.
The more I thought about it, the more confused my eyes became.
After bathing alone in the moonlight in the early morning for a while, Ouyang Rong's skinny lips squirmed:
"Where is this? How...... So familiar. ”
When I first woke up, my thoughts were scattered like a porcelain bowl that fell to the ground with a 'clang', sparse.
There was a faint smell of sandalwood in the air, and his first reaction was to think of an old temple in the mountains that he had accidentally broken into when he was a child.
Green tiles, red walls, bronze bells, drum towers and other imagery images emerge in front of me.
I don't know if these are the memories of the past life or the memories of this life.
Since he woke up in the Pure Land Palace, the memories of his two lives have begun to merge and overlap with himself in this parallel world, and more details of the memories of this life have gradually recovered, and it is difficult to separate......
Motionless and lying on his back, Ouyang Rong's face was filled with an ignorant look on his face after waking up from a long sleep, which gradually faded.
It can be accompanied by the recovery of the sense of smell, and the return of other senses without greeting.
"Hiss, so sour, so painful."
On the lotus stone seat, Ouyang Rong suddenly sat up and rubbed his waist with both hands.
In addition to the coldness of his waist, shoulders and limbs, there was also a feeling of soreness for a while.
Especially the waist eyes.
It's like being shaken by a hundred big men in turn, shaking apart.
What sin is this?
Ouyang Rong inhaled with a "hiss" in his mouth, and tried to stand up with his waist.
He looked left and right, taking in the surroundings.
couldn't help but look stunned.
Wellhead, moonlight, lotus pedestal, frescoed ......
It is the Pure Land Palace.
But Ouyang Rong vaguely remembered that before he closed his eyes and lost consciousness, didn't he consume all the dantian aura and merit purple mist, and with the "injustice" in his chest, he killed Qiu Shenji and rescued the little junior sisters?
How do you wake up right now, right here, and not in bed? What about the little sisters?
"The Great Sage is awake?"
An annoying, shrill, old voice came from behind.
Ouyang Rong turned his head to look, and in the darkness behind him, there were three dark shadows faintly sitting.
It's a trio of people who are incomparably familiar.
The old Taoist priest leaned against the wall, and sat on the ground with his legs spread like a dustpan.
Xiao Yin asked: "By the way, why did you hide back in the Pure Land, the hell outside, you can't stay anymore?" Foolish people can't be saved? The Great Sage also needs to relax? ”
"Can't go out!" Activated by the sensitive words, a withered monk suddenly stood up and replied, he trembled, pointing to the ground with one hand and the sky with the other:
"Donor, this place is the Lotus Pure Land, and above it is the Infernal Hell!"
"......" Ouyang Rong.
He silently looked away and saw a slender girl sitting next to Xiuzhen, the "unknown master" with a compassionate and persuasive face, hugging her knees and burying her face, without saying a word.
It's the delicate mute girl with a severed finger.
It's just that at this moment, the mute girl didn't peek at him from a pair of autumn-like eyes flashing through the gap between her knees and thin arms as she did when they first met him before.
She buried her face as if she were asleep.
It also has its own tranquility, and it is like a small transparency in the dim underground palace, which is extremely easy to be ignored.
Xiuzhen couldn't bear it, and reminded again:
"Amitabha, donor, if you go out, you will be eaten by evil things immediately!"
He Qiu turned his head with a smile and looked at Ouyang Rong's reaction.
Ouyang Rong looked at the withered monk with pity on his face for a while.
He nodded.
With his back to the wellhead and the lotus pedestal, he walked to the crane Qiu Lao Dao, the withered monk and the delicate mute girl, and sat down unceremoniously.
The four people of the underground palace are reunited again.
The scene seems similar.
Ouyang Rong agreed: "I don't know if the master is right, there is no doubt that there is indeed an infernal hell outside, but ......"
The words stopped.
Xiuzhen's face was confused, but the old man next to him was interested, and changed his sitting posture:
"But what?"
Ouyang Rong didn't answer, looked down at the clean Confucian shirt on his body, and raised his hand to touch his forehead.
The fine short hair that was cut when I counted the "Three Sins of Lianghan" in public before, has become a lot longer, and it is clean and soft by people who are as careful as hair, and I don't know how long I have been asleep, but the days are definitely not short.
Ouyang Rong's gaze swept around the equally clean and tidy underground palace as if nothing had happened.
On the day when Ding Jian was born, he summoned "Craftsman" under his real name in this claustrophobic underground palace to kill Liu Zilin and the family slaves in Tsing Yi, and the bloody fragmented limbs scattered in the place are all gone.
I don't know if it was dealt with by the monks, or cleaned up by the little junior sister and Yan Liulang.
From this point of view, Wei did not know that Wei Shaoxuan had died violently, or that he had not suspected it and came to the door.
And Xiuzhen, who was knocked out by Liu Zilin's punch at the beginning, is also the same as no one, his chin seems to have gained a circle, and it seems that he has been eating well recently.
As for the frescoes on the four sides of the underground palace...... Ouyang Rong, who lowered his head to sort out his clothes, silently retracted his afterglow.
There is no moonlight sword to activate the strange stone carving of "Return to the Coming West" under the lotus, and the damage to the murals on the four sides has not been repaired, and there is no shadow of "The Return to the Words".
It shouldn't have been discovered.
I don't know what Master Cheng Ma used to carve out those moonlight words...... The sword that was stolen from the hand of the Mad Emperor?
Ouyang Rong's side face was out of concentration, and the old man said dissatisfiedly:
"Great Sage, can you stop talking halfway?"
Ouyang Rong still didn't answer, turned his face and asked:
"You...... Why are you here? He glanced at the delicate mute woman who was quietly hugging her knees opposite.
Ouyang Rong vaguely sensed that the atmosphere in the underground palace was a little strange, and so were people.
Old Man Qiu asked rhetorically: "Why are we here, it doesn't matter, what matters, why are you here?" ”
Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows and nodded, muttering, "Yes, why am I ......here?"
He turned his head to look at the lotus pedestal in the center of the dungeon, and the wellhead that leaked a beam of moonlight obliquely above his head.
Ouyang Rong maintained a posture of tilting his head, silently rubbed his sore shoulders and waist with his palms, and muttered in an imperceptible voice:
"Overnight at Donglin Temple...... Is it another good guide master...... But why am I sleepwalking and running around after I get well...... Is there something here that attracts me......"
He couldn't help but think of the long, long dream he had when he was unconscious, and there seemed to be something very important and warm in the dream, but he couldn't remember what it was right now.
A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Ouyang Rong suddenly turned around and asked the three of them:
"Do you really sleepwalk in the next place? Did you see how it fell down? ”
There was no keyword activation, Xiuzhen was still chanting with a demented face, only Crane Qiu nodded and said:
"Sleepwalking? It's pretty much the same, it's like sleepwalking. ”
The old Taoist priest smiled.
Ouyang Rong frowned, raised his eyes and looked at him seriously:
"What do you call the Dao Chief?"
"The surname is Lord."
"Okay, Daoist Sun."
"......" said the old man.
Ouyang Rong smiled, generally speaking, those who are called masters are grandsons.
"The Great Sage is smart." Sun Lao Wei sneered: "Heh, it would be nice if this cleverness was put on other things." ”
Ouyang Rong pointed to the quiet delicate dumb girl next to him, "Does Daoist Sun know the name of this girl?" ”
Sun Lao Wei didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Great Sage, do you want a daughter-in-law?" ”
Ouyang Rong was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed some helplessness:
This means that only when you become a husband and wife can you know the girl's name, right? The customs are also old and conservative. ”
"The wedding customs in her hometown are really old-fashioned and conservative, and they are so old-fashioned and conservative that they are infuriating."
Old Monster Sun snorted lightly.
"When you want a daughter-in-law, come and ask me again." His face was pale, and he waved his hand and said:
"Now, this is a little mute that no one wants, she has nothing left, only a 'name', how can she let you empty the gloves of the white wolf again?"
Ouyang Rong frowned, swallowed his complaints, and changed the topic:
"Last time, I came to the Beitian Nursing Home to look for the two, you are not here, why are you back now, is it...... Was he taken refuge in the mountain by the county government a few days ago? You were sent back by your family? Why did you run down the well again? ”
After a pause, he released his kindness and said: "If you have difficulties at home or in the Taoist temple, you can talk to you and meet the presiding officer of this temple in the next place, he is very generous." ”
He Qiu Lao Dao glanced at the mute girl who had been silent, and pointed to the young man who had recovered from illness with a smile:
"Great Sage, you, you, you're just too smart."
"I said, I'm not a saint." Ouyang Rong shook his head to correct, glanced at the poisonous pus faintly exposed around the neck of the old man, and nodded:
"Is the old Taoist here to find the host of Donglin Temple to heal poisonous sores?" He had a lot of experience and sighed: "Master Shandao's medical skills are indeed very good. ”
Old Monster Sun nodded: "It seems that the Great Sage, you are also cured by him." ”
"It should be, but it's ......" Ouyang Rong touched the neat and clean short hair in front of his forehead, and the neat clothes on his body, and he couldn't help but flash the red shadow of a certain arrogant backhand in front of him.
He sighed softly.
What is she doing now? He has been in a coma for these days, she should be very anxious, before he fell into a coma that day, he vaguely seemed to be hugged by her, and there seemed to be a woman crying in her ears.
Ouyang Rong suddenly wanted to see his little sister.
Now, right away, right away.
The young magistrate seemed to regain all his vitality in an instant, and stood up in an instant.
With his back to the shadows, he walked towards the lotus pedestal in the moonlight in front of him, and said firmly and calmly:
"This was indeed my pure land, and now ...... It still is. Thank you three for being here with me one more time.
The monk Xiuzhen saw the back of this road walking towards the mouth of the well, and his face was frightened.
He Qiu didn't stop him, and asked with interest: "Then why did you insist on leaving this time?" You have said that there is a pure land here, and there is no hell outside, why don't you learn from this unknown master? ”
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "The so-called Pure Land has been fully seen through below, and there is no hope that he can fly to the other side, people can't live in beautiful lies forever, they should set their feet and look at the Quartet, this world is not silent about promising people, why should he be free in the eternal Pure Land." ”
He looked up at the well.
At this time, Ouyang Rong happened to pass by the side of the dumb woman with his knees, who suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped again.
Ouyang Rong looked down.
On his small hand, which has only four fingers, lies a bag of sheepskin bladders.
This time, Ouyang Rong shook his head and did not answer, but moved his gaze downward: "Can you borrow a sword?" ”
The dumb woman's body stiffened slightly, and she pulled out the long cloth bag that sat down under her hips.
Zheng ——! Three feet out of the sheath, the sword light was like water, flowing on the ceiling of the underground palace, Ouyang Rong's eyes were slightly surprised: "Good sword!" He walked to the lotus pedestal, and carved the words next to the stone carving of "Return to the Future" left by Master Zhenma, and also left a line of words.
Ouyang Rong turned back to his sword, returned to the lotus pedestal, grabbed the rope ladder that fell from the wellhead with his palm again, he suddenly turned around, and said to the panicked and anxious Xiuzhen:
"Hell...... I'm going to hell! ”
Old Sun suddenly asked, "If you fall into hell forever?" ”
"Then you will go to hell forever." Ouyang Ronglang smiled.
Ouyang Rong climbed with his head held high, and the moment before he was about to climb to the mouth of the well, Fu Zhi looked down like a heart.
In the claustrophobic dungeon below, all three of them looked up at him.
These include...... A beautiful and dumb woman.
Ouyang Rong saw the pair of eyes that were as clear as a stream again.
I saw that she was still the same as at the beginning, with a faint look of reluctance on a delicate little face that I saw pity.
Ouyang Rong subconsciously looked at it twice.
Oh, he suddenly turned his head and asked loudly:
"Daoist Sun, what is the First Meaning of the Noble Truth?"
Without waiting for an answer, he grabbed the rope and pulled it violently, turning out of the well.
In a huge underground palace, a Confucian scholar left again.
Taoist priests, monks, and mute women stayed.
The monk sat on the ground, his eyes showing fear;
The Taoist priest stands, thoughtful;
The mute girl looked up, reluctant.
He Qiu Lao Dao stepped forward and glanced at the newly added line of stone carvings under the lotus pedestal, which is located below the four characters of "Return to Xi":
"Today's long tassel is in hand...... When to tie up the dragon? ”
Old Monster Sun's eyes widened slightly.
"Good boy, what a big breath." He nodded, laughed, and said, "Is there no saint?" ”
No one answered.
Oh, Old Monster Sun turned his face and sighed:
"Don't look at the dumb girl, everyone is gone, and I don't look at you more.
"Let's go, you've seen him jumping around with your own eyes, this is the last time, your two senior sisters are still waiting for us, don't miss the hour, otherwise the unlucky one will be the poor ......"
Zhao Qingxiu still raised her head, her bright eyes did not blink, and she pointed in the direction of the wellhead: "Ahhhh ”
"Is it dark, you ask?" Crane Qiu Lao Dao was speechless: "Nonsense, I don't have long eyes, I can't see this, it's already five watches, it's dark outside, don't look stupid, you look at a fart." ”
"Oops, babble." A small upturned head shook its head vigorously.
The dumb woman pointed to the dashing back of Ouyang Rong leaving above, smiling like a flower.
No, it's dawn.
————
PS: Don't worry, Xiao Rong is also very distressed about the dumb girl, and she will definitely not cause any irreparable losses to her!
The brothers who have seen the sword lady should understand Xiao Rong.
It's all for the sweetness of the back! The back will definitely be sweet for you!
