By some strange coincidence, I was held by Yaoyao's hand and dragged into the red coffin. It was really spacious inside. We lay side by side and looked at each other. It was like a long separation was better than a wedding. Before I could reach out to untie her dress, her hand first
She became dishonest, and the soft and real touch moved back and forth on my body, trying to do something wrong. Suddenly, she was shocked, her face instantly turned pale, her eyes rolled, and she fainted.
Only then did I remember that the talisman that the Taoist priest gave me was still there, but there was no halo flashing today. Maybe the talisman was about to expire and its power was reduced. She touched it for a long time before triggering the electric shock effect.
Just one step away, alas... I was regretting that it didn't happen, and suddenly I found that Yaoyao's wedding dress quickly shriveled up, showing the outline of a human skeleton, and the skin and flesh on her face quickly disappeared. In just a few seconds, it was gone.
She turned into a dried skeleton. I was so frightened that I quickly climbed out of the coffin and covered her face with a hijab to avoid damaging Yaoyao's image in my mind.
After a vague transition in the dream, I saw several "things" of different heights, short, fat, and thin standing in the light at the entrance of the cave. They were indeed things, not people, because people are not things.
Based on the outline, I could probably make out a snake, a deer, a tiger, a bear, and an eagle. I couldn't make out a few other things clearly, but there were eight of them in total, neatly arranged at the entrance of the cave, as if trying to block me.
go out.
I remembered that this place is called "Nine Immortals Cave", and there are really nine caves. Yaoyao is in the middle and is considered an immortal. Could these eight things in front of me be the other "Eight Immortals"?
"Who is coming? Where is he?" the other party asked, as if the deer was asking me.
"Wu Chengfeng, a person from Jinling." There were many of them, and their combat effectiveness should be high. I was a little timid, so I had to answer truthfully.
"What's the point of coming to our Eight Immortals Cave?" the other party asked again.
Look, they are indeed eight immortals.
"Come to see Yaoyao." I said.
"Who is Yaoyao?"
I pointed to the coffin: "Just her."
The Eight Immortals looked at each other, chattered a few words in a language I didn't understand, and then said to me: "Although Muzige's seal has expired for four hundred years, the underworld dare not take it in because of its heavy killings.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sent a message, asking us eight immortals to continue sealing Muzige. This is the decree of the King of Hell and cannot be disobeyed! Mr. Wu, please come back."
Although they spoke with a strong Northeastern accent and were half-literate, I still understood. It turned out that Yaoyao's name was "Muzige". She was not dead, but was sealed here. She has been sealed for 400 years.
Year, that is, 1622, it was sealed here. This is similar to what Yaoyao told me before.
However, Yaoyao said that the reason for the seal was that she was framed, while the Eight Immortals said that she had committed too many crimes. I don't know who is telling the truth.
After the Eight Immortals finished speaking, the light at the entrance of the cave became more and more dazzling, blinding me so hard that I couldn't open my eyes. Suddenly, there was a flash of white light, and I was kicked out of my dream by the Eight Immortals.
Still sitting under the cliff, the sky was already dark. I stood up. My whole body was sore. I moved my neck and it made a rattling sound. It might be because I used too many Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms last night.
Looking up, I can see the nine caves more clearly. The lighting conditions are slightly better than last night. I can also see that each cave has a single word carved on it, only the one in the middle has no words.
Those eight holes correspond to the Bagua directions, but the words engraved on them are not "Qian, Kun, Kan, Zhen, Li", but the names of eight animals: snake, deer, tiger, bear, and eagle. , fox, mink, weasel.
They should all be common beasts in the Northeast.
There are no wolves?
Is it because the wolf looks like Erha and is not qualified to be in the Immortal Class?
It's no use seeing the words, there's no ladder, there's no way to climb up.
I looked back down the mountain again and saw the deserted village at a glance. It was still so deserted. The temple I had passed through before was not far from my feet. But strangely, the temple was no longer a cemetery, but a formal church. Temple of Erba Sutra!
There were two monks inside, carrying supplies from the bed of the pickup truck. There were several bottles of water and two large plastic bags of vegetables... Could it be that what I saw last night was an illusion?
Or is it that what is in front of you now is an illusion? This chapter has been completed!
