Chapter 176: The January Covenant
The dragon soul hoofed out the lights and walked out of the house slowly with his hands behind his back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The moon is like water, and the long street is like sleep.
The steps of the dragon soul hoof's feet were very light and light, as if he was afraid of waking up, a dream in the middle of the night.
He walked very slowly, as if every step had to be thought about several times, and then he took a steady pace.
Obviously, this is incompatible with his self-confident and proud style.
After passing through several lanes, I came to a long alley intersection.
He stood at the entrance of the alley for a while, as if remembering to think for a while, before deciding to continue walking. At the end of the alley, on the east side, there was a door that was hidden, as if it had been reserved for him.
The Dragon Soul Hoov actually pushed open the door without any accident and stepped in.
A very small courtyard, although the lights are dark, and under the silvery moonlight, you can also see that the floor is paved with bluestone slabs, and further on, there is a tiled house.
The owner should have slept, and from the paper window facing the courtyard, it could be seen that the house was pitch black.
The dragon soul hoofed slowly walked to the window, raised his hand, and knocked lightly. A woman's cold voice: "Is it Brother Dragon?"
Perhaps, when other people heard such a cold voice, they couldn't help but shudder and turn their eyes to see if they had suddenly fallen into the ice hole.
Obviously, the Dragon Soul Hoov was already accustomed to it, yes, there was no accident, and he said respectfully: "Yes, Sect Master." ”
"What kind of attitude do they have towards you?"
The Dragon Soul Hoo hesitated for a moment and said, "It's okay." ”
The woman inside was silent for a while, and said, "Brother Long, you don't need to cover them up. How they'll react before I let you do it, I can guess. You don't have to be sad. ”
Dragon Soul Hu said: "I'm worried, some people still have complaints in their hearts. ”
The woman snorted coldly and said, "It's all some elm heads that eat ancient things, if our Five Poisons Sect can do it, why should I ask outsiders for help." You don't have to worry about them, you wait here for a few days, and when the Yan family comes, then go back to Leishan with them. ”
"Yes, Master. ”
"Let's go. ”
"Hmm. ”
The dragon soul hoofed answered, turned around and left.
After the dragon soul hu walked away, the door creaked softly, and a slim masked woman in black clothes and black pants slowly walked out.
The masked woman brought the door, turned around and seemed to listen intently under the eaves for a while, and then, Huo Ran stomped lightly, and her delicate body rose into the air, in the sky like a silver moon, like a touch of black lightning, a few flashes, and disappeared. When she reappeared in the audience's sight, she was already under a mountain.
She paused for a moment, and then, after scurrying up again, through a dense forest, finally stopped in front of the door of this dilapidated temple halfway up the mountain.
Why only say that the temple is dilapidated and not dilapidated?
Because, although it is quite old, from the peeled door leaves and the surface of the corrupted walls, it is really old, but there is no broken place, I have to make people sigh, in the long river of years, it has been beaten by wind and rain, but it is still so arrogant and so strong and detached, just like some ordinary people, even if they have experienced all kinds of hardships and ravages, but they still bear silently and continue their lives silently.
Giving in without giving in is awe-inspiring. The masked woman stepped up the stairs and pushed open the door, revealing a dim light. This temple is not large, so the furnishings are extremely simple.
On the shrine was, well, aptly, piled up with a few oddly shaped stones. Under the god platform, there are three futons, the one in the middle, there is an old man of the Miao family sitting at the moment, all seventy or eighty years old, and the head of the Fusang ronin is wrapped around a strip of cloth, as for whether the word samurai is written on it, because the cloth strip has been used for a long time, it has long faded the original color, light gray and gray, it is difficult to study.
However, although the old man is a lot older, it is commendable that his hair is still black and shiny, but his face is a little thin, and his spirit is a little tired.
However, when he looks at you, he will make you deeply feel that his eyes that are hidden deeply, it seems that there is a miraculous unknown energy surging underneath, like a huge and invisible black hole, which can easily swallow people at any time.
The masked woman sat cross-legged on the futon to the left of the old man, looking at the stone on the divine case, silent. The old man raised his head slightly, glanced at her, the corners of his mouth showed a hint of doting, and said softly: "Child, what's wrong, who made you uncomfortable?"
The masked woman sighed softly, "Who else could there be?"
The old man smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, they're all old stubborns who don't grow up, so don't care about him." ”
The masked woman said, "High Priest, you keep telling me, did I really do something wrong?"
The old man looked away, looked at the night sky outside the door, and said slowly: "The so-called right and wrong is only the difference in the effect of making a certain choice at the approved time and place. However, the so-called difference in effect is also different from person to person, the same thing, the same choice, many times, due to different people, the effect will be different, therefore, right and wrong, can not be generalized. ”
The masked woman was stunned for a moment, presumably she felt a little dizzy at the moment. After a while, she whispered, "High Priest, I don't understand. ”
The high priest turned his eyes and looked at her veiled face, and suddenly smiled, and said, "Child, you have peach blossoms in your eyes, and you are not too young, just find a suitable person to marry." ”
The masked woman lowered her head, lowered her eyes, and said, "I'm just an iceman, who else in this world dares to marry me?"
The high priest looked at her and smiled silently, his eyes full of tenderness. The masked woman looked up and asked hesitantly, "High priest, do I have to change?"
The high priest shook his head and said, "I didn't say I wanted you to change it." The nature is naturally formed according to the rules of heaven and earth, and it is the most primitive beauty in the world, so why should it be changed by external factors?"
The masked woman cried, "Really?"
The High Priest smiled and said, "When have I deceived you?"
The masked woman seemed to be embarrassed to stand up and said, "High priest, I'm going back tomorrow, are you with me?"
The high priest shook his head and said, "I'm used to being here, at least, I won't go back for the time being." ”
The masked woman said, "But, I ......"
The high priest said, "Are you worried that they will turn against you?"
The masked woman was silent, apparently acquiescing.
The high priest said, "Even if you let it go, don't worry about the rest." ”
Since there was a promise from the high priest, the masked woman was obviously in a much lighter mood, bowed to the high priest, did not say anything more, stepped back, and withdrew from the temple.
The masked woman came out of the temple, only then turned around and slowly walked down the stone steps, Huo Ran's delicate body jumped, like a bird throwing into the forest, plunged into the night sky, and soon disappeared. And, just as the masked woman's figure had just disappeared, a person slowly appeared on the slope here.
Under the moonlight, this young man was dressed in green clothes, his handsome face was facing the road down the mountain, touched his forehead, and muttered to himself: "Your sister, Lao Wan, Lao Wan, you said that you were a road blind, I thought you were just modest words, but I didn't expect it, you are really blind, obviously that there is the right way up the mountain, you have drawn me a wild road overgrown with weeds, okay, I have to believe that your conscience is very good, you are afraid that I will be found out if I take the right path, right?"
Suddenly, the voice of the high priest came from the temple: "Child, what are you complaining about? ”
The young man in Tsing Yi touched his chin and felt that what people said was really reasonable, the so-called all roads lead to Rome, as long as the goal is the same, why be entangled in the process?
Therefore, the young man in Tsing Yi no longer complained, took off his clothes, strode up the stone steps, and stepped into the temple.
The high priest's eyes almost beat the young man in Tsing Yi when he walked into the temple and never left his sight, and the strange thing is that his eyes actually showed a trace of the obscenity of his mother-in-law looking at his son-in-law.
The young man in Tsing Yi was going to sit down on the futon opposite the high priest, but when he touched it habitually, he shook his head and chose the futon on the right.
The High Priest looked slightly surprised and said, "Why, that cushion doesn't suit your requirements or taste?"
The young man in Tsing Yi said a little sneeringly: "No, that cushion is a little hot, it should have left someone's ass just now." ”
The high priest was hooked and couldn't help but ask, "So what?"
The young man in Tsing Yi coughed dryly and said, "It is said that sitting on the seat head that someone else has just gotten up will attract that person's hatred." ”
The high priest said, "Is that so?"
The young man in Tsing Yi said: "That's right. ”
The high priest said, "It stands to reason that if a person sits well and leaves only for a while, but the seat is occupied by someone else, there is also dissatisfaction or resentment in the heart, but if the original owner of this seat is a stranger to you, will you still care about his dissatisfaction or resentment?"
The young man in Tsing Yi said: "Strangers are even more inappropriate. You think, the world, with our mutual grievances and hatred, is often familiar people, even so, has made us burnt out, if, coupled with the stranger's dissatisfaction and resentment, the aura of life will be gradually consumed by an unknown thing, the trajectory of life, will slowly deteriorate with a trace of you feel out of control. Therefore, I have always been reluctant to be hated by strangers. ”
The high priest nodded and said, "This should be the true meaning of the good of the Buddhist family and people." ”
The young man in Tsing Yi said slowly: "I don't believe in reincarnation cause and effect, I just believe in the Present Eye." ”
The high priest looked at him deeply and said, "Son, you have too much evil spirit. The so-called too rigid and easy to break, too righteous and in vain. In the world, everything is made by law, and existence is reason. Therefore, we must not deviate from the premature nature of the state of affairs. ”
The young man in Tsing Yi was slightly stunned, seemed to ponder for a moment, and finally sighed helplessly, stood up, bowed to the high priest apologetically, and said, "I have been taught." It's just that walking between the world in a dream, although I look forward to a relaxing trip, but I can't help it, there are always some things that I can't let go, but I live up to the kindness of the old man. ”
The priest also sighed lightly and said, "Child, if you promise me one thing, you will not be hindered in any way to enter the Miao Territory. ”
The young man in Tsing Yi was a classmate in his dream, he looked at the high priest and said, "Please speak." ”
The high priest said slowly, "You should have seen that girl just now. ”
Meng nodded slightly.
The high priest said, "I want you to stay with her for a month and protect her secretly." ”
Meng said, "What about a month from now?"
The high priest said, "After a month, you can do whatever you want." ”
There was a strange brilliance in Meng's eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking, in short, he finally made a desperate decision with himself: "Okay, it's decided." ”
The high priest stretched out a big skinny hand, and without any hesitation, Meng also stretched out a hand, and there was a soft "snap", and the high-fives proved that this agreement was established.
