Chapter 64: The Villa (3)
Looking at the jade slip in Jingxin's hand, the blue arrow on it flashed and flashed, and both Yuanming and Yuanye showed a trace of doubt on their faces. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuan Ming couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Pure Heart Master Nephew, what is this jade slip?"
Jingxin explained: "Two senior uncles, this piece of jade slip was actually given to the master by Senior Ning, in order to prevent the master from being stopped by the fog array in front of him when he visited the villa. ”
"Every time Master brought me over, when I entered this fog array, a blue arrow would light up on this jade slip. As long as we follow the direction indicated by the blue arrow, we will eventually get out of this fog array without any problems. ”
After listening to Jingxin's explanation, Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye looked at each other in surprise, it turned out that this piece of jade was still given by that Ning senior, no wonder it looked so strange.
"Two uncles, please follow me next, you must follow closely, otherwise you will get lost in this fog array. Jingxin said to Yuanming and Yuanye.
As he spoke, Jingxin held the jade slip in his hand, and began to explore the path in front of him in the direction pointed by the blue arrow above.
Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye immediately followed closely behind Jingxin, not daring to stay away half a step.
Jingxin followed the direction suggested on the jade slip all the way, and moved forward honestly, not daring to be sloppy.
Strange to say, in this fog array, there seems to be a faint psychedelic thing interfering with the three of them.
After walking dozens of steps, Yuanming and Yuanye were surprised to find that they had long been unable to distinguish between east and west, north and south.
They only feel that the pure mind sometimes goes straight, sometimes turns, sometimes it seems to go around and return to the original point.
However, in fact, the three of them have been moving in a straight line.
Obviously, this fog can interfere with the senses.
If you really walk by your own senses, you may think that you are walking in a straight line, but in fact, it is very likely that you have been spinning in the same place and completely lost in this fog array.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Jingxin finally walked out of this fog array with his two senior uncles.
What appeared in front of them was a long bluestone staircase that meandered up the mountain forest.
The gap between the steps is covered with green moss, revealing an old and ancient atmosphere.
Looking at the long bluestone steps, Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye looked at each other in surprise, and couldn't help but secretly say in their hearts: It seems that the villa is really built here.
Immediately, the three of them walked up the bluestone steps.
The steps twist and circle, as if it were an ancient dragon, coiled in the mountains and forests.
After turning nine corners in a row, a group of buildings with white walls and tiles finally appeared in the sight of the three of them.
This is a manor built on the mountainside, with pavilions and pavilions, slightly warped eaves, in the lush bamboo sea, hidden from time to time.
Jingxin pointed to the buildings not far away, and said to Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye: "Two senior uncles, that is where the villa is located." ”
Yuan Ming sighed slightly and said, "Amitabha, I didn't expect that there is really a mountain villa here. This senior Ning is really a good means. We have lived on Huiji Mountain for decades, and we don't even know anything about this mountain villa. ”
Yuanye shook his head and sighed: "Yes, who would have thought that in the mountains and forests a few miles away from Lufeng Temple, such a mountain villa was built." ”
The villa was in front of them, and the three of them no longer hesitated, and couldn't help but speed up their pace.
When they came to the gate of the villa, the first thing they saw was a huge stone wall.
This stone wall stands on the side of the gate, and the four characters "Xiaoyao Villa" are engraved on it.
The words on the stone wall, at first glance, did not feel anything, but after a closer look, it faintly revealed an otherworldly, chic and uninhibited artistic conception, which made people can't help but indulge in it.
"Good words, good Joyful Villa!" said Yuan Ming.
Then, he looked at the tightly closed door and said, "The door of the villa is closed, let's go up and knock." The sooner you see that Senior Ning, the sooner you can ask for the Living Dead Pill. ”
As he spoke, Yuan Ming stepped forward and gently tapped the copper pavement on the door.
However, after knocking for a while, no one came out to open the door.
Yuan Ming's brows furrowed slightly, and he was about to continue knocking on the door and increase the force of the smash.
Yuanye suddenly said, "Wait, senior brother. You see there's a sweeper there, so why don't we go over and ask first? ”
After being reminded by Yuanye, Yuanming and Jingxin both looked not far away, and sure enough, they saw a man wearing the clothes of a subordinate, sweeping the ground.
It was a clearing at the corner of the villa, and it may have been blocked by the villa before, but Yuan Ming and the others didn't notice each other.
At this time, seeing him turn around the corner, the three of them immediately stepped forward and prepared to ask.
When he got closer, Yuan Ming found that it was a man in his thirties, with an expressionless face, and it could even be said that there was a trace of numbness.
Because all three of them walked in front of each other, the man still bothered to bow his head and sweep the floor, ignoring them.
Yuan Ming clasped his hands together and said: "Amitabha, Lao Qu is a monk of Lufeng Temple, and his Dharma name is Yuanming. Donor, may I ask the owner of this villa, how many people are there for me to come to visit, and I have something important to ask for. ”
However, the man still only cared about bowing his head and sweeping the floor, and he didn't even mean to raise his head.
Yuanming and Yuanye both frowned slightly, feeling that the person in front of them was too impolite.
But at this moment, Jingxin suddenly said in surprise: "Big brother dumb servant, it's really you." ”
Hearing the words of pure heart, Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Yuan Ming asked, "Pure Heart Master Nephew, do you know this person?"
Jingxin nodded and said, "Yes, Master Yuanming." The dumb elder brother is a subordinate of Senior Ning, and he has been living in the villa. I used to see him when I came to the lodge. ”
Yuanye frowned and said, "However, he doesn't seem to pay attention to us. ”
Jingxin smiled and said, "Two uncles, the dumb brother is deaf and mute, and he can't hear us when we speak." To communicate with him, you need to do this. ”
As he spoke, Jingxin stepped forward, stretched out his hand and shook the dumb servant's arm, and said, "Big brother dumb servant, I am Jingxin, do you remember me?"
"I've been here with my ancestor before, do you still have an impression? These are my two uncles, and we came to visit Senior Ning today because we have something important to ask for. Can you go in and report to Senior Ning?"
Seeing someone shaking his arm, the dumb servant finally stopped his hand and stopped sweeping the floor for the time being.
He raised his head slightly, looked at Jingxin suspiciously, and then looked at the two old monks, Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye, suspiciously.
Jingxin hurriedly continued to gesture while saying, "I'm Jingxin, dumb brother, do you still want me to do it? I've been here, and I've come here with my ancestor." ”
The dumb servant looked at Jingxin with a confused expression, and after thinking for a while, he nodded slightly, and a trace of voice came out of his throat: "Uh-uh-uh...... Uh-uh-uh-uh......"
Then, he gestured with his hand again.
Yuan Ming didn't know why, and asked, "Pure Heart Master, what is he talking about?"
Looking at the dumb servant, Jing thought for a moment and said, "He said that he remembered who I was. ”
"That's great, Master Pure Heart, you quickly let him in and talk to Senior Ning, saying that we have something important to ask for. Maruba said eagerly.
"Okay, Uncle Shi. Jingxin nodded, and immediately said to the dumb servant again.
"Big brother dumb servant, something happened to the ancestor, and his old man's house was poisoned by a traitor and he was unconscious. We're here to ask Senior Ning for help, can you go in and talk about it?"
The mute servant looked at Pure Heart with a blank face, and although he couldn't hear the sound, he could read the lips.
So after Jingxin said it on the phone, the dumb servant also roughly knew what was going on.
He squeezed a voice out of his throat and said, "Uh-uh...... Uh-uh......"
As he spoke, he made a gesture.
It's a pity that this time the dumb servant said a bit too much, and Jingxin couldn't understand it.
"Pure Heart Master, what did he say?" asked Yuan Ming.
Jingxin shook his head ashamedly and said, "Brother Dumb Servant has said too many things, I don't understand a little. ”
"What? You don't understand it? What can I do?"
Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye were a little at a loss for a while.
Seeing that Jingxin didn't understand, the dumb servant thought about it, and walked to a rock wall next to him with an expressionless face.
He turned his head and beckoned to Pure Heart, squeezing out a voice in his throat: "Uh-uh-uh......"
As he spoke, he gestured slightly in his hand.
This time, Jingxin understood, and he said to Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye: "Two uncles, the dumb elder brother called me over. ”
None of the three of them understood the dumb servant's intentions, but Pure Heart walked over anyway.
The dumb servant held a broom in one hand, and with the other hand stretched out a finger, he pointed at the rock wall, and squeezed out a voice in his throat: "Uh-uh-uh......"
Pure Heart looked puzzled, not knowing what the dumb servant wanted to see.
And Yuanming and Yuanye were also full of doubts, not knowing what this deaf and mute man wanted to do.
However, the scene that appeared in the next moment made the expressions on the faces of Yuan Ming and Yuan Ye suddenly freeze, their eyes were full of shock, and they said incredulously: "What?
