Chapter 2 Broken Temple (Part 2)
I don’t have a fire note. All the guys who can make fire are in the master’s yellow cloth bag, but it’s dark here. It seems that the master hasn’t made fire either. So where will he go? Could it be that this small way leads to some other place?
I wiped the cold sweat beads on my forehead and looked back and forth. Apart from the gray moonlight, there was aimless darkness and bottomless darkness...
I held the wall on one side. The wall was very cold, as if it had frozen, but it didn't look like it. In short, after touching it for a long time, my hands would hurt a lot. I walked in along this small way and entered the real dark world. Even a trace of haze outside could not be seen. I felt that my heart was in my throat, but thinking that my master was inside, I could only pluck my courage to walk inside step by step.
"Master?" I couldn't help but shout, but what was heard was endless echoes: Master...Master...Master...
This shocked me. This dilapidated temple is only more than three feet away. How come it gives people a feeling of being so boundless and endless and vague?
Suddenly! I remembered a saying that when I was a child, I heard an old man say that the road in the underworld is dark and dark, and there is never an end, and I can’t find the end, but I must never speak, because it is useless to speak. If you walk one by one person and one by one, you will always be the only one!
Jiuquan is said to be also Jiuqu Road. The road is a winding road that leads to the underworld.
I shivered all over and cursed myself for not thinking about it, why did I think about it? The more I thought about it, the more I became more and more scared. I didn’t know where the courage to hold the grave in the past had gone. I walked step by step along the wall beside me, but after a while, I looked back and found that the small way I came was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed that I had already walked a long way, but how far was there in front?
"Master?" I shouted again, thinking to myself that if Master had heard it here, right? After all, I've shouted so many times.
The result was contrary to my wishes. There was nothing else here except my own echo. Now I was in a state of no clue. There was still an endless dark world ahead, and my master did not answer. What should I do now?!
I turned around suddenly!
The little door with a shiny light is still so petite and far away, and it seems to be a thousand feet away from me, but have I really walked so far? No! I have a feeling that something must be happening here, and my heart sank, I hurriedly retracted, then turned to face the little door, and walked back quickly-
"Moonlight~~~I feel panicked~~~I don't see~~~The birds disperse~~~Moonlight~~~~I feel panicked~~~" Somehow, those jokes that used to be like an old man scared children gradually floated back in my mind, and it felt clearer and clearer. It seemed that these sounds were all around me. I felt anxious and rushed to the main road!
I ran for a while while panting, but when I stopped to take a look, I was stunned. I saw that the small way in the distance was still so far, so ethereal and petite. It seemed that I had always kept such a long distance from it. A trace of shady breath gradually emerged from my back, and I felt goose bumps all over my body.
"Bang!"
I shook off the long whip and made a crisp sound!
This long whip was made by Mr. Wu Da, who pressed me tomb and watch over the night. The whip has nine sections, and the tail of the whip was soaked in black dog blood for a long time. It was said to be a good thing to ward off evil spirits. So, I only have such a thing to take out. Think about it, I am also a disciple of a generation of masters, so why is the difference between me and my master? The master can ask the gods to burn the talisman with one stroke. If you recite the spell, don’t invade a hundred evil spirits, but what about me?
Fortunately, I am quite strong. After all, I have only been in the beginning for a while, not to mention that my master has never taught me any Taoism. As far as I know, I can't use the finger tips now, even if I use them, I'm afraid there will be no way out.
"Oh...Oh..."
I stopped suddenly. It was obvious that it was a person's moaning in pain, and the sound was very light and thin, but it was a male voice!
"Who?" I hurriedly looked around, but I could see anything except the darkness.
"Ouch~~~" This time I was shocked. If the strange sound in front was an illusion, then the pain below must have existed!
I stepped back quickly and felt a sense of slightness. No matter whether you are square or round, I will be whipped first.
"Bang!"
As the long whip passed, I used most of the force of this whip. The buzzing caused by the crisp sound and echo of the sound almost made me jump up with my head, but I endured it. If I couldn't stand it myself, the guy I was hit must have felt even worse, because I felt that I had hit it!
Mr. Wu once said that no matter what the hell was whipped, it showed his body, but it was so dark here. Even if it was a ghost and showed his body, I still couldn’t see it, right?
"Ouch--"
This thought flashed through, and at the same time, accompanied by a shrill scream, it was obvious how powerful the whip was!
But I tilted my head and thought, if it was a ghost, why didn’t I escape under the favorable conditions of the darkness? Why would I still have such a skill to scream like this? Could it be a human?!
"Hey~~~~~~ Which hob cut me off?!" In the darkness, a man with a slightly hoarse and honest voice slowly came out.
I was anxious and asked, "You, are you really human?!"
"...Barring! Can we be a ghost if we are not humans?! Is it a kid? Why did you kill me?!" In the darkness, the voice rebuked with an extremely angry voice.
I immediately grabbed my forehead and thought that this was fine. The ghost didn't get it, but I was so excited that I beat the person. But even though I thought about it, I still had to say: "I...I don't know you are a human being. Besides, who can see that there is a big living person standing here?"
I thought the man in the dark would immediately retort and scold me, but he slowly said, "That's right, but you're too ruthless. If I hadn't heard a strong wind flashing in time, I'm afraid half of my face would have been cut off."
I picked up the long whip and raised it, and smiled apologetically, "I'm so sorry. I'm too nervous. Besides, I don't have a knife, I just hit it with a whip. Are you okay?"
"...I'm fine, it's okay, it hurts a little. By the way, little brother, why did you come here? Are you from Jiangjiazhuang? Didn't you tell you to go to bed early when the sun sets, and no one can leave the door half a step? Why are you..." The voice in the dark complained.
Jiangjiazhuang? Go to bed early? I vaguely understand why no one opened the village in front of me. It turned out that this person had already made arrangements, but why did he ask the people in Jiangjiazhuang to go out at night? And what's going on here? Of course! And my master, he still doesn't know where he is, alas!
I thought about it and hurriedly replied, "I am not from Jiangjiazhuang. Master and I came here all the way here to stay in that village. In the end, no one opened the door, so Master took me to this dilapidated temple. It's strange. Master came in first, why can't I find him? By the way, who are you? Why are you here?"
Actually, what I want to say is, why do you hide here and cry out in pain? But under the worldly ways, I still have to give people some face.
The man seemed to have not moved at all, and was even fixed there by something. He immediately heard the man say "Ah!" and then said, "Your master? Did your master come just now?"
When I heard this, I nodded quickly, and the man immediately sighed and said, "Oh! I thought it was those things that came out just now, so I passed by "swoosh"!"
I grabbed the back of my head and asked in confusion: "What a whirl? What are those things? You, what are you doing? And where are my masters?"
The man was surprised again and then asked loudly: "Don't you know that this is the 'Nine Curved Road'? I... am I? Hey! I am the nephew of the head of the authentic Laoshan Taoist Sect, Liu Chengfu, my master, and my master Li Zhengfu, is the senior brother of the head of the sect. The Taoist Master Laoshan who is respected by the world, is my master. As for me... Haha! Bu Yique is the small path."
Make up for a lack?
I couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hehe... Fellow Taoist Yique, I'm polite in the second seventh day of the lunar month."
"...Fellow Taoist?" The man's honest voice came again, saying, "Little brother, are you also a Taoist priest? That's great. The great way is back together. Fellow Taoist quickly save Xiaodao!"
I asked in confusion: "Fellow Taoist Yique, what's wrong with you? How should I save you?"
Bu Yique immediately sighed and said, "This matter is hard to say. Master and I came here to find a spiritual treasure. We happened to catch up with the Jiangjiazhuang incident, so we took care of it. Who knew that this "Nine Curves" was really evil. If I had known it, I wouldn't have boasted in front of my master. Now I was suppressed by the corpse and dog path and could not move. I was so sleepy that I didn't dare to take a nap. Fellow Taoist brother, please save me quickly!"
I will understand Bu Yique's previous words, but I am really helpless in what the corpse dog path and the nine-curve path behind me. But since they are all practitioners, I must not stand by and watch. I hurriedly asked, "Fellow Taoist asks me to help you, how can you extend your hand, or do you ask me to move away from the corpse dog path?"
Who knew that Bu Yique didn't speak for a long time, and then said a long time later: "Fellow Daoist must have just started, right?"
I frowned. How could he know that I was just starting out by listening to me? But I didn't deny it, nodding and said, "Yes, what's wrong?"
Bu Yique immediately laughed and said, "It's nothing, haha! It's not difficult for fellow Taoists to save me. You just need to drip blood into beads and point it on my eyebrows. The corpse dog path is eroding my thinking and making me sleepy. But if I just lie down and sleep, my life will be lost. We practitioners of Taoism have their own spiritual energy to protect our bodies. The blood of our own is the most yang thing, which can break the suppression of the corpse dog path and get rid of the brothers of Taoism!"
Blood...beads?
I quickly raised my hand. Although I didn't understand why a drop of blood could save him, I knew that the drop of blood would have to bite my fingers. It is common for the master to bite my fingers before he could take cinnabar. Now I think about it, it must be very painful.
But now it’s my turn to save people, and as a practitioner of Taoism, I gritted my teeth and saved me. I took a step forward and said, “Fellow Taoist, please raise my head. I’m starting to bite my fingers now. Where is your face...what is your head..."
