Chapter 816: The Past of a Small World (Part I)
"Do you want to die or do you want people? The person in front of the door was dressed in sackcloth with buckles, tied with straw ropes around his waist, and his face was covered with a black scarf, and his voice was peculiar, but there was oppression in his words.
The entrance and exit of the City God Temple is all based on this door, and at this moment it was blocked by the Mai people, and the small bucket room became a prison because of the Mai man's words.
After Xiao Er retreated to the offering table, he said with a sneer: "Guest officer, I'm afraid this is not okay? This little brother on the ground, my lord asked him to discuss important matters, and please make it convenient." ”
Mai Man was unmoved, just took a step forward and looked at Xiao Er coldly. Pressed by this momentum, Xiao Er's face was full of vigilance, and he couldn't help but hold the offering table with both hands, bowed his waist and looked at the comer, and the incense burner on the table also trembled, for fear that the Mai people would come over.
The Mai man narrowed his eyes and hummed in his throat, "White ape offering peaches?"
One foot stomped heavily on the ground, the masonry in front of him cracked, bounced up more than one person high, slammed his palm, and went straight to the small two-sided door.
was called a broken move by the Mai man, Xiao Er no longer hid, hey laughter, changed the previous low three and four attitudes, his eyes flickered, the corners of his mouth slanted [Begonia Book House fo] smiled, reflected in the eyes of the Mai people, but it was the same as the two people just now, and the treacherous face was exposed.
It's too late, it's too fast, Xiao Er punches the incense burner and kicks the table.
The incense burner hit the masonry, there was a bang, and the furnace exploded and the ashes flew; Xiao Er's eyes lit up, as long as he avoided the Mai man, he could easily leave, and then take advantage of the chaos to take Lu Changwen, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and his heart turned around, and his body was already moving like a rabbit, and he went straight to the temple gate.
Mai Man did not move his palm and came out, seeing the offering table smash with a slam, the left palm was connected, the right hand was bent into a claw, and the lightning grabbed out, only to hear Xiao Er's muffled snort;
The two of them saw each other with fists and feet, but the tea cup kung fu, and several people had stopped outside the temple and looked inward together.
Seeing that Lu Changwen had not woken up, he tried it in front of Lu Changwen's nose at the moment, and his breathing was stable, and there was no big problem. Stretched out his hand and took out a pen and paper in Lu Changwen's coat, and hurriedly wrote a note. When he raised his legs and walked outside the temple, I don't know whether intentionally or unintentionally, Lu Changwen's soles of his feet were kicked in the spring point, even if Lu Changwen fainted to the ground, he also hummed in his throat because of this sudden pain, and the Mai man went out of the temple gate, and there was no trace in a few breaths.
Leaving a few passers-by who watched the excitement, looking at Lu Changwen, who had not yet woken up, pointed, but no one stepped forward, for fear that something would happen again, and it would not be good if it affected him.
It is said that the good fortune and the evil are avoided, and the onlookers at this moment will express these four words vividly.
After being curious for a while, a few passers-by seemed to be lacking interest, so the tea cup was dispersed, leaving Lu Changwen alone on the ground and no one cared......
When Lu Changwen woke up, he just wanted to get up, and suddenly felt that his back hurt into his heart and lungs, if his bones were torn and his flesh was torn, his forehead was instantly sweaty, and he held his breath to support most of his body, all his weight was supported by his right elbow alone, and his right leg fell again with a slight movement. After resting for half an hour, he barely got up, walked out of the temple gate, stood against the wall, took a deep breath, and his stomach was rumbling constantly, only to remember that he had not eaten a grain of rice until now.
The hand habitually reached into the blanket and rummaged, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, "University", "The Mean", and nothing else.
The war drums in his abdomen shook the sky, swallowed his saliva, and rubbed his stomach from side to side with one hand, hoping that it would last a few more hours.
But he felt a note in his palm, turned around and looked at the moonlight, "Get out of here." ”
The handwriting was sloppy, apparently written in a hurry.
But the gesture is arrogant, like an iron silver hook, but a few strokes are through the back of the paper, but the edge of the note is red, put it in front of the nose to smell, faintly bloody smell.
Lu Changwen was shocked in his heart, and wanted to look again, but suddenly smelled a smell of fire/medicine, and before he could take a closer look, the note in his hand had turned into ashes in the firelight.
Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Changwen shook off the ashes in his hands, put away his blanket, and ran quickly towards the city gate.
All the way to the wall according to the willows, drill black and step on the mud, about half a pillar of incense time, has reached the city wall, bowed his head along the root of the wall to the city gate.
The soldiers defending the city were already sleepy and trembling, rubbing their eyes and seeing Lu Changwen coming out of the corner, they looked panicked, and they still went out of the city at night, so they naturally had to interrogate more.
Lu Changwen answered one by one, there were frequent wars here, and the soldiers heard that Lu Changwen was in order to take the exam, so they were more patient to persuade Lu Changwen to join the army, or he could get an official and a half position, but it was not known.
"Even if the cold window is ten years, it is not worth the value of a general" Seeing that Lu Changwen listened carefully, the soldier grabbed Lu Changwen and wanted to show him the way.
"Master Jun, even if you join the army, I have to say no to my family, do you see this city gate?
"Hmm, no, you can't open it until three o'clock in the morning. The soldier's eyes glared at Lu Changwen, and he immediately kept silent about joining the army.
Lu Changwen found a corner to cling to, and he had already scolded the city defender in his heart, but he still had to beg for words, looking forward to getting out of the city as soon as possible and staying away from this place.
In fact, there is no deviation from the old saying - Xiucai is unreasonable when he encounters soldiers.
This soldier did not enter the oil and salt, and was willing to open the door only after three o'clock in the morning, Lu Changwen had no seizure, so he could only sit against the wall until it was louder, just after three o'clock, the morning bell was leisurely, and the city was opened.
Lu Changwen got up with great joy, hugged his fists at the soldiers and thanked him, suddenly heard the Buddha behind him shouting, and then guarded the soldiers of the city, all of them folded their hands, lowered their eyebrows and looked respectful, and called Master Yuanmu.
Lu Changwen turned around in surprise and saw a monk wearing straw sandals and walking slowly.
Strangely, this man was fair-skinned and handsome, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were full of sadness, he was about six feet tall, and his arms were strangely long.
A gray and white monk's robe is full of patches, but it is difficult to hide the nobility, one palm is erected, bowing to the soldier in return, a string of prayer beads in his hand, each one is soft, the light is flowing, and the eyes know that this monk has been playing for a long time.
Yuanmu looked at Lu Changwen and nodded, "The morning bell and dusk drum wake up the world's fame and fortune," Monk Yuanmu said suddenly.
"The sound of the Buddha's horn recalls the dreamer in the bitter sea" Lu Changwen meditated for a moment and slowly continued.
Master Yuanmu was stunned, and his face was full of relief: "The little donor has a relationship with my Buddha, so it's important to hurry, so you don't need to be polite." ”
"How did the master know that I was going to hurry, not enter the city?" Lu Changwen clasped his palms and saluted, and was quite annoyed by the monk's sight, and immediately retorted.
"The township test has passed, the little donor's face is sad, looking out of the city, plus a bookish face, it must be a failure of the township test, and he is worried about how to meet his parents at home" Yuanmu's tone was calm, but a few words were reasonable, Lu Changwen opened his mouth but couldn't find a suitable reason to quibble.
"The master is wise, the kid admires, the road is far away, you need to take the first step, the master forgive me" Lu Changwen let go and turned around and strode out of the city.
I didn't expect a strange wind to blow, my eyes went into the sand, I raised my hand and kneaded it, but my eyes were red and swollen, my eyelids twitched, and I couldn't stop crying.
I really don't know that the village hundreds of miles away has been turned upside down, and the old father Lu Wending at home is also red-eyed at the moment, eager to choose someone to eat.
Everyone in the village is in danger, even staying at home, and even can't sleep at night.
At the entrance of the village, a wooden table, a wooden chair, a middle-aged man who looks like a master is holding a wolf's hair, and he is writing against the roster. The official behind him was full of anger, and everyone in the village closed his door for a few days, which made him very angry.
"If you don't have an army, can you farm well here? Let you join the army, it's like killing your head! Hey, hey, what's the name of the guy who died in the village two days ago?" The official suddenly patted the middle-aged man and asked rudely.
Lu ...... The third ......" the middle-aged man said in a trembling voice, trembling like chaff, and his face was almost on the roster.
"If it weren't for another country, how would he have killed his wife? "Looking at the slowness of the middle-aged man's writing, the official snatched it, asked for his name, and wrote the three words Lu Dingwen on the roster, but the words were like a turtle crawling, and it was difficult to see.
This middle-aged man was able to read and write thanks to Professor Lu Dingwen in the early years, and he also got a clerical job in the state and county, so he had a lot of respect for Lu Dingwen, and wanted to take the opportunity to delay, but this was self-defeating, and he was frustrated for a while, and his regret was unspeakable.
Lu Changwen walked and stopped all the way, and when the sun fell on the mountain, he was already ten miles away from the village, and the smoke curled in the distant cottages, but his legs were like lead, and he walked slower and slower, and finally leaned against the big tree next to the road, and then moved two steps to hide his body.
After closing his eyes and meditating for a moment, he opened his eyes sharply and strode towards the village, but after a few steps he turned back, and after a few times, he leaned heavily against the trunk of the tree again, his teeth rattled, and the words "garbage, waste" appeared in his heart in turn, and his throat rolled several times, almost blurting out.
"It's a big deal to be beaten and start all over again," Lu Changwen muttered, moving in the direction of the village again, gradually walking firmly, striding forward.
At this time, it was already dark, and Lu Changwen was the only one on the road, and he no longer worried about meeting acquaintances, but for the sake of safety, he still chose to walk on the small path, and immediately stayed away at the slightest movement, and went around to the back wall of the ancestral hall.
Just about to leave, the muffled sound in the ancestral hall made Lu Changwen's body stop, due to the high height of the roof and the thick wall, even if he listened with his ears, his voice was still vague, so he had to stick his ears to the wall.
After waiting for about a tea cup, but did not hear any sound, Lu Changwen was already impatient, and just wanted to get up, a wave of air passed through the wall, only to feel that the chest and abdomen were like being hammered, and the whole person rose from the ground and fell heavily to the ground.
Looking at the back wall of the ancestral hall again, several large bags were puffed up and scattered all over the wall, which scared Lu Changwen so much that he couldn't care about the direction, and he was about to flee if he stood up.
If your life is gone, there will be nothing, this simple truth Lu Changwen still understands very well.
It's just that he bumped into the person in front of him as soon as he took a step, and at this moment it was important to escape, Lu Changwen was almost about to scold, but when he heard this person proclaim the Buddha's name, he was extremely familiar with it, and he looked carefully through the moonlight, and it was actually the master of Yuanmu who had seen at the gate of Luoyang City.
said to go quickly, stepped forward and grabbed Yuanmu's wrist and wanted to escape from here, Yuanmu's body did not move, but Lu Changwen stumbled backwards and almost fell to the ground.
"It's really troublesome," Lu Changwen said impatiently.
Stabilize his body and squat, and said hurriedly: "Master come up, I'll carry you, there are monsters in this ancestral hall, and if it's late, you'll die", while urging, palms facing up, quickly inciting, it seems that he is quite anxious, and even the slight swelling pain in his heart and lungs has no time to take care of it.
"Little friendliness, the monk has received it, good and good. Yuanmu spoke, the sound was like a clear spring, invading Lu Changwen's heart and lungs, if the snow met the rising sun, it melted rapidly, and the feeling of swelling and pain was also relieved.
Lu Changwen hurriedly said: "It's good, you monk, your life is going to be lost and you still drag the text, it's really an elm pimple", his eyes looked around, for fear that the monster would appear.
Yuan Mu couldn't help it, grabbed Lu Changwen's back collar, stepped on the wind and sand, and in one step, it was far away between breaths.
Lu Changwen saw the yellow sand under his feet retreating like an arrow, his heart suddenly contracted, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't speak, his body couldn't move, Yuanmu had already expected it, and he had sealed his sandalwood and dumb points under one grab.
About an hour later, Lu Changwen peeked and saw that Yuanmu's face was as usual, his breathing was steady, and he was not tired at all.
Although he was surprised, he couldn't speak, so he had to look at Yuanmu timidly, but he was extremely curious about Yuanmu in his heart, even if the horse could be so fast, it was not known, and Yuanmu could chase the wind and dust with his feet.
Almost comparable to the shrunken ground in the mouth of the storyteller, if you are good at this way, where can you not go to the world, where can you not reach?
And the previous ancestral hall must also be related to it, so if you think about it, wouldn't it be dangerous for you?
Maybe this monk is a thief with blood wrapped under the skin of compassion?
I listened to Yuanmu and said, "Is the donor good?"
When Lu Changwen heard this, he sneered in his heart, he was called Xiaoyou just now, but now he is called a donor, and the fox's tail really can't be hidden.
Father, mother, children are not filial!! the grace of nurturing can only be repaid in the next life.
Lu Changwen fell to the ground as soon as his feet touched the ground, and he wanted to get up and flee, but Yuanmu's movements made him stunned, and what shocked him even more was what Yuanmu said next.
Yuanmu grabbed three pieces of gold leaf from his arms and gave them to Lu Changwen, who was about to speak, "Your mother is dead, and the old man sent you a hundred percent of your internal strength, and you can only save your life by hiding in an inaccessible place for three days." ”
At the moment, he held Lu Changwen's hands tightly, and when his palms were hot, Lu Changwen only felt that the heat was rising in his limbs, and he was very comfortable.
Yuanmu turned to Lu Changwen's back and suddenly slapped him, Lu Changwen's body couldn't help but ride the wind, "internal force can only last for three hours" turned his head to see that the monk had disappeared without a trace.
