22. In a dream

Jinshan Temple, in the meditation room.

After discussing the departure in the afternoon and sending the two heralds away, Lin Buyi sat back on the edge of the bed and thought about his next move.

Based on what we have so far, there are only two clues that can be deduced for the time being.

One is the history of Hongzhou City Thorn, which should be made by the shipwright, but why he has the ability to change still needs to be explored.

The second is the continuous appearance of the dead inside and outside the city, since the corpses have been appearing since half a year ago, it can probably be linked to the appearance of Chen Guangrui's soul.

Maybe it was because of the discovery of Chen Guangrui's appearance that the pretending assassin began to make a move and secretly kill people?

Or is it that the assassin has mastered the magic power of sucking people's essence and blood and taking people's souls, and in this way he strengthens his strength?

Thinking about it, a sharp feeling of sleepiness suddenly surged from the depths of my heart.

What's going on?

Is it because I didn't sleep all night yesterday?

Lin Buyi didn't have time to think about it, and the feeling of sleepiness rushed into his mind in an instant, and after a while, he lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

......

Lin ...... Not easy. ”

Lin ...... Not easy. ”

“......”

Hearing someone calling him, Lin Buyi suddenly woke up from his sleep, a thought suddenly rose in his mind, and then his face was full of vigilance and looked around.

But it was as dark as thick ink, and I couldn't see even the slightest light or shadow!

Shouldn't it be Xuanzang?

How long has it been since you've heard someone call you by your name?

Since crossing into the world of Journey to the West, no one has ever called it!

Who's calling itself?

Why did he know his name?

Or rather, the previous trip to Jinshan Temple was just a long dream, and now it ...... Finally awake?

When I think of this, I rejoice, I am excited, and I rejoice...... Instantly poured into my mind, but why was there a faint ...... Lose?

At this moment, the previous voice came into my ears again: "Lin Buyi...... Lin Buyi ......"

The voice was so faint that I couldn't tell where it came from.

"Who's pretending?"

Lin Buyi snorted, but the golden lotus, which had been used to before, did not appear on his lips this time.

The voice continued to come, and Lin Buyi tried to get up, but it was as if he had lost control of his body, no pain, no taste, and even no vision, as if only ...... were left Hearing.

"Who the hell are you?" Lin Buyi shouted again.

"You...... Don't know who I am?!!!"

The voice finally stopped repeating the call, but suddenly appeared in Lin Buyi's ear, and burst into a loud shout.

Lin Buyi hurriedly reached out to grab it, but it was as if his hands were no longer on him, and he couldn't move at all.

"You have taken possession of my body, inherited my memories, but I don't even know who it is?" the voice continued to roar in his ear, hoarse and incoherent.

"Xuanku?"

Lin Buyi was shocked, but he ...... Hasn't he already been killed by Xuan Ming?

"You finally remember. ”

As soon as the words fell, a light finally appeared in front of him, and a little monk in ragged clothes and covered with injuries suddenly appeared in Lin Buyi's eyes.

He also looks exactly the same as when he first crossed over!

"You're still alive?"

Lin Buyi exclaimed in surprise and wanted to get up, but he still couldn't move.

I can't even look at my current body.

The little monk in front of him nodded, and his tone soothed: "Don't struggle anymore, you and I are communicating in the spiritual consciousness space, and we don't have a body at all, so how can we stand up." ”

"Can you read my thoughts?"

"The souls of you and me are just a little bit away from being able to completely merge together, and now you have me, I have you, and what you hear now is not equivalent to my 'idea'?"

Hearing this, Lin Buyi was awe-struck, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Why am I here?"

"That man is my father, isn't he?"

The little monk suddenly said something without a word, followed by a long sigh.

Why would he know?

"You and I are one, have you forgotten?"

The little monk sighed, and then said: "I not only know that Chen Guangrui is my father, but also know that I am the tenth reincarnation of the golden cicada, and I will complete the mission of learning scriptures from the west in the future......

After that, he pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of regret: "What a wonderful life...... It's a pity I can't see it. ”

"These ...... Did you read it all from my memory?"

Lin Buyi felt that his lips were a little dry, and he wanted to comfort the little monk in front of him, but he didn't know how to speak.

At least from the bottom of his heart, he is not willing to travel to the current world, after all, the life in his previous life was also good, and his wife is about to give birth to a baby for herself......

"yes, I also read that you're from another world, calling yourself a 'traverser,' right?"

"You're right, why did you bring me here when you could read my thoughts?

Lin Buyi tried to wake himself up, but a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart.

"Of course not. ”

The little monk shook his head: "I said, I want to ask you to do something." ”

There was no word for a long time, and it was not until Lin Buyi completely calmed down that the little monk continued:

"I have been lurking in the depths of your soul before, and at first it was only in a state of confusion, but then I don't know how long it took, a trace of enlightenment gradually rose in my heart, and your thoughts and thoughts appeared in my mind.

As you imagined, maybe it was because of the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and I quickly understood the things of the divine soul and spiritual consciousness.

But when I tried to snatch my body back according to the method in my memory, I found that my soul was infiltrated and absorbed by you little by little.

But I don't want to give up, I also want to live a brilliant life like the story of "Journey to the West" you know!"

The little monk's emotions were a little out of control, and it took a while to calm down, and he stared at Lin Buyi directly and continued:

"It wasn't until the moment you took the stage to give a lecture that I suddenly felt that my soul was about to die out with your transcendence.

So I tried my best to summon you here while there was no one around.

I just want to beg you not to run away anymore, and after I disappear, take my place to see the splendid world, and see the way to the west. ”

Lin Buyi listened quietly, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips and nodded secretly.

"I'll try my best. ”

"I know you're afraid of death, and I've seen the story from your memory. The ending is a good ending, isn't it? Even if you encounter a lot of demons and monsters in the future, they will pass, right?"

Hearing this, Lin Buyi sighed faintly: "Xuanku...... I can't promise you anything. ”

"Why!"

The little monk was a little hysterical.

"In the world I came from, there is a saying that a twisted melon is not sweet...... What's more, I'm not religious enough, and you know, I wasn't the reincarnation of the 10th Golden Cicada in the first place, so how could the Buddha let me go to learn the scriptures?"

Lin Buyi's voice fell, but he saw the little monk suddenly jump forward, and after a while, his body was full of golden light, and he sat in the air.

I saw that his shabby monk's robe was peeled off layer by layer, and after a while, his clothes were completely torn, and his whole body was covered in the light of the Buddha.

Immediately afterwards, the Buddha light gradually moved closer to Lin Buyi.

Then he began to merge with him.

It was only at this time that Lin Buyi felt where his physical body was.

But he still can't control it, and can only passively accept the shroud of the Buddha's light.

......

I don't know how long it has been.

The Buddha's light gradually dissipated, and at this time, the little monk Xuan Ku was already pale, and his body was translucent, as if he would disappear into the void in the next moment.

"You are now. ”

The little monk looked at him seriously and said firmly: "No one can say that you are not a golden cicada." ”

Lin Buyi smiled bitterly.

That's not what I meant!

"One more thing for me in the end, help me find out the truth about Hongzhou, and let that person rest in peace......" The little monk's voice fluttered and flickered, gradually diffusing towards the void.

Lin Buyi's face gradually became serious, and he nodded: "This favor, I will definitely help!"

Hearing this, the corner of the little monk's mouth finally showed a shallow smile, which finally dissipated and disappeared.

"I don't know why...... I feel...... I will be back......"
