Chapter 12: Knocking at the Door at Night
As soon as the temple door opened, the winter wind whistled in,
The good fortune boy was dressed in a navy blue coat and stood quietly at the door. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Su Ji stared at him for a long time and remained silent. There was silence between the two, and only the cold wind could be heard, and the strange roar could be heard. An inexplicable aura of terror made the surrounding atmosphere instantly depressing.
"So late...... Where have you been?" asked Suji.
The good fortune boy sniffed at Su Ji's body, and said lightly:
"I smell of alcohol, I must have drunk too much again. Didn't I say I'm going to go into the city to find Madame Wang?"
Su Ji hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered that the good fortune boy had indeed said such a sentence before leaving. He hesitated for a moment, then let him in.
After the good fortune boy crossed the threshold, Su Ji said tentatively:
"You promised me not to take anyone's life......
The good fortune boy replied coldly:
"There are more people who care more about your safety than me, so why should I do it myself. As for human life, I kept one, but it was her son's one. The good fortune boy smiled weirdly and said lightly: That woman knows too much, she can't keep it!"
With that, the good fortune boy shook off Su Ji's hand with his shoulder and walked straight forward. The moment he passed by, Su Ji felt a compelling momentum.
At this time, the feeling of the good wealth boy is completely different from the feeling when they first met. His tone became more and more indifferent, and the human touch between his words became less and less. The person in front of him made Su Ji feel extremely unfamiliar, maybe this was his true face, but he had been well hidden by him before.
The good fortune boy stopped, as if he was looking for something, suddenly turned around and glanced behind Su Ji, and asked suspiciously:
“...... What's on your waist?"
The tone of the good wealth boy was as flat as water, but Su Ji hurriedly turned around and responded nervously:
"You can't take care of it!"
The face of the good fortune boy changed suddenly, and in a tone that implied a hint of persecution, he said coldly:
"Show me ......"
Before he finished speaking, one of his hands had already grabbed Hongjun Ling. The moment his hand touched the Hongjun bell, the bell suddenly resounded crisply, and the words on the bell burst out with golden light......
The good fortune boy suddenly let go of his hand and covered his eyes with his long sleeves. The dazzling golden light forced him to take two steps back. When he lowered his sleeves, it was quiet all around, and Su Ji was no longer visible.
Su Ji rushed into Li Hongjun's room, closed the door tightly, and hung the Hongjun bell on the door.
Li Hongjun, who was attached to the bell, said in shock:
"He's a wicked! He should have listened to the old beggar and got rid of him!"
Su Ji panted and said, "I can't get rid of it now, and I can't get rid of it before." ”
As soon as Su Ji's voice fell, he only heard the voice of the rich man outside the door:
"It's rare that the red moon is in the sky, you and I haven't seen each other for a few days, why don't you come out and have a drink?"
Su Ji gasped and said, "The night is dark and the wind is high, and the demons are rampant. It's better to rest early!"
There was silence outside the house for a while, and the good fortune boy said, "Then I'll come back another day to catch up on the old ......."
Su Ji looked out through the crack in the door, and he had indeed left.
With a sigh of relief, Su Ji suddenly went to the tortoiseshell bed where Li Hongjun was sleeping. Seeing Su Ji's panicked expression, Li Hongjun couldn't help but get nervous and asked:
"What are you turning over?"
"There is a method of cultivating the truth in the temple, and finding it may be able to deter the demon, and maybe it can help you become a new person. ”
With that, Su Ji took out a piece of tortoiseshell from the tortoiseshell bed and looked at it, then threw it behind him, then picked up another piece and looked at it in the same way. In this way, one piece after another, the faster he looked. It didn't take long for the tortoiseshell behind him to have as much tortoiseshell as there was in front of him.
Li Hongjun asked puzzledly: "Can you understand what is written on it?"
"I still recognize the words. Su Ji said, but the movements of his hands did not stop.
"I mean, you're watching too fast. ”
"I've been reading so fast since I was a kid. Su Ji said and threw the tortoise shell behind him, picked up the next one, and said, "Not only fast, but also carry!"
"Then you carry the lamp and listen to the Heart Sutra for me. ”
While continuing to flip through the book, Su Ji said aloud:
"Habhasati Bodhisattva, ground to give birth to radish, ground to radish, ground to ground to ......"
Li Hongjun didn't even understand a word of what he recited. At first, he thought that Su Ji was reciting indiscriminately, but when he looked at it carefully, he was shocked. It turned out that Su Ji actually memorized it upside down, and he didn't even memorize a word wrong from beginning to end!
Su Ji continued to flip it up with a proud face, and suddenly found a piece of dirty white beast bones, and there was not a word on it.
"This bone is what you left?" asked Li Hongjun.
"These tortoiseshell beast bones are not mine, they should be left by the sect members. Since the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the surviving sectarians fled to Xirong Shenguo and regrouped. I heard that now they all wear red clothes, the higher their status, the darker the red, and the clothes of the sect leader are almost pure black, just like the ragged clothes worn by the old beggar before. ”
After listening to Li Hongjun's answer, Su Ji was even more sure that this bone was left by the old beggar. He had heard that the storyteller had told about a kind of wordless heavenly book, the words on it were feminine, and they were not visible when they saw the daylight, and only when they reflected the moonlight could they show the wisps of gold.
Could it be that the old beggar's cultivation method is the wordless heavenly book?
Su Ji spread the animal bones by the window with anticipation, letting the moonlight shine on them.
However, it didn't change for an hour.
Su Ji was upset, and looked at the beast bone over and over again, tossing until the sky was light, and he was still puzzled.
The next day, a strange thing happened in Qingling Temple.
There were seven more boys in brocade robes in the temple overnight, but the good fortune boy was nowhere to be found, leaving only these seven Taoist boys to come and go freely in the temple and take care of the things in the temple.
These Taoist children deliver three meals a day on time every day, but each time they only put the food outside the door, and never dare to step into the door. Su Ji felt that the Dao boys were very afraid of the Hongjun Bell on the door, and thought that as long as he didn't get out of this house, there was nothing he could do about it.
The three meals sent by the Taoist boy were very rich, with fish and meat, and a jar of good wine. Su Ji rarely ate those meals, but he couldn't help the good wine. Thinking of the four ghost brothers in the temple, now he is the only one who is still panting, and he feels helpless for a while, his heart is empty, he has no thoughts about tea and dinner, and he basically lives on wine every day.
Since sleeping in Li Hongjun's house, he will be awakened by strange sounds every night. Sometimes it was a knock on a window, sometimes it was like a knock on a door. The sound of tapping is light and heavy, and the frequency is fast and slow, as if the person knocking on the window and door every night is not the same person.
Su Ji couldn't figure out if it was a dream, or if someone really knocked on the window door every night. Fortunately, none of those people dared to come in, and he was not very worried.
Until one night, Su Ji had another strange dream.
When the dream began, a cool breeze blew in through the window.
A man dressed in white floated in through the window. Su Ji couldn't see his face clearly no matter what, and could only hear a haha sound coming out of his mouth, which was very terrifying.
Immediately after, a pale hand slowly stretched out.
