This man is in his early fifties, has a fat head and big ears, and gives people a philistine and greasy look. No matter what dynasty he is in, such a person is nothing except a few bad money. But his eyes look very
Especially that look in his eyes gave Luoyang a feeling of familiarity.
"We know each other?" Luoyang tried to talk to him.
"Hehehehe..." The businessman's laughter was strange.
Luoyang observed him carefully, and the feeling of familiarity became stronger and stronger, but he could not remember where he had seen this person. He thought of a possibility, that is, the old scholar knew the businessman, and his consciousness
It was in this old scholar's body, so it was a little affected.
"Do you really not recognize me?" There was a sly smile on the merchant's lips.
"Who are you?" Luoyang asked.
"Doctor Luo, you are such a noble person and forgetful about things."
Luoyang was filled with doubts. There are more than 100 Chinese surnames, and the probability that this old scholar also has the surname Luo is less than 1%. Moreover, this old man wears scholar's clothes, so he doesn't look like a doctor. Then there is only one possibility, and that is
The businessman in front of him knows his true identity, but how is this possible?
"Who are you?" Luoyang looked directly into the businessman's eyes.
The businessman smiled and said, "Then let me give you a hint. You healed my leg."
Luoyang was stunned immediately.
He thought of a person, Liu Youshui!
"It seems you have remembered it, are you surprised? Hahaha!" The businessman laughed.
"Are you Liu Youshui?" Luoyang needed to confirm.
The businessman nodded and admitted.
Luoyang was shocked: "How is this possible?"
A dead person appeared in this strange space and turned into a businessman from the Tang Dynasty. He even drank tea and listened to music with him in a brothel. No matter how he understood it, he couldn't accept it.
At this moment, a girl came over and stood behind Liu Youshui. A very young girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pomegranate skirt, her shirt open, revealing a large amount of white on her chest. Her face was also delicate,
He was obviously still childish, but there was a hint of cunning and fierceness hidden in his eyes.
This was the first time Luoyang saw this girl, but combined with the strange and complicated situation in front of him, and the girl's position, he thought of someone again.
"You're not Jiang Yue, are you?" Luoyang asked tentatively.
"Long time no see, Doctor Luo." The girl's voice was cold.
Luoyang smiled: "It's indeed a long time since I last saw you. I didn't expect you to switch to selling meat. But don't get me wrong. I have no discrimination against people in this industry. I just think that with your personality, you don't
Very likely to accept it."
"You know nothing about the ancient society." The girl sneered, "You think my godfather and I are both dead. Your understanding of death is too narrow and superficial. It is just our reincarnation."
Luoyang said: "Luo Juexing told me before he died that the ancient society believed in reincarnation. If someone has experienced nine lives, he is a great person. You said that Jiang Yue who died in Sabah was your reincarnation, then she is yours
Which life? What is your real name?" His eyes moved to the businessman's face, "What is your real name?"
"A name is just a meaningless symbol." The businessman avoided answering.
The girl sneered: "You are so superficial, how could Wu Xu choose you?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Luoyang's mouth, as if he had grasped something: "In this way, we can be regarded as enemies meeting. How do you plan to take revenge?"
"I wanted to kill you, but ***'s father dissuaded me. ***'s father said that retribution is the right thing to do, and I think that's right," the girl said.
Luoyang smiled and said: "As expected of Mr. Liu, he is courageous, so why are you here?"
"My godfather and I are trapped here." the girl said.
The businessman said: "You have been looking for the ancient society, haven't you? I will take you there. I will do you a favor, and you will also do me a favor."
"Do you know where Guhui is?" Luoyang asked.
The businessman lowered his voice: "To be precise, it is
The Temple of the Holy Spirit, I know where it is and how to get in."
Luoyang looked at the fat face: "In return, what do you want from me?"
"You come with me and take a look first." The businessman stood up and walked to the door.
The girl looked at Luoyang.
Luoyang hesitated for a moment, then stood up and followed.
The girl walked behind Luoyang.
Coming out of the brothel gate, you will see a wide stone road in front of you, which can accommodate four carriages traveling side by side. There are people coming and going on the street, and there are many shops, making it a lively and prosperous scene.
Luoyang also saw blond Persians and dark-skinned Kunlun slaves, speaking in a stiff Heluo dialect, bargaining with merchants. A carriage ran past the brothel, and a cat sunbathing in front of the door was frightened.
, meowed and jumped away. A plump woman hugged her child and cursed.
At this moment, Luoyang was in a trance.
If all of this is an illusion, then who has the ability to create such an illusion? In the spiritual world, it cannot be a magic weapon. If it is, it is really unbelievable.
The businessman walked down the steps and continued to walk across the road.
"Let's go." The girl urged.
Luoyang walked down the steps and looked back. He saw the plaque on the lintel of the brothel, with three gilt characters "Hongxingyuan" engraved on it, which had quite a bit of calligraphy heritage.
The girl looked at Luoyang expressionlessly.
Luoyang looked back and walked across the road, talking to the girl as he walked: "You and your godfather didn't die on the same day, and the places where they died were tens of thousands of miles apart. How could you meet here?"
The girl didn't answer the call.
Luoyang said again: "Have you found your father? I heard you say that your father was actually killed by your godfather. I admire your broadmindedness. You can afford to let go of the revenge of killing your father."
".
The girl snorted coldly: "The debt will be wiped out after death. Is there any use if I don't let it go? We are just duckweeds in this world. Our goal is to drift with the tide and land ashore."
"I really can't tell. You still understand Zen. What does it mean to go ashore?" Luoyang asked her for something to say.
"Reincarnation, after nine lives, is complete, that is to go ashore."
"How many lives have you and your godfather lived together?"
"Why should I tell you? Let's go!" The girl's tone was a bit fierce.
Luoyang shrugged, crossed the road, and followed the businessman into an alley.
He was also thinking about what the girl said. Li Jiu was just ashore, so what was on the shore?
A picture popped up in his mind for no apparent reason. There was a row of antique shops standing by a big river, selling river fresh food, foot washers, Sichuan hot pot and so on. The business was booming. There was an archway on the street with dragons and phoenixes carved on it.
With the words "Guhui Food Street"...
The businessman stopped in front of a courtyard door, looked back at Luoyang who was walking behind, then stretched out his hand to open the door and walked in.
Luoyang came to the door and stopped.
Behind the door is a small courtyard with five tile-roofed houses. On the left side of the small courtyard is a jujube tree, which is covered with green jujubes that are not yet ripe. The businessman stood at the foot of the jujube tree, with a mouth next to him.
The well is covered with a stone manhole cover.
"Go in." the girl urged.
Luoyang said: "You go in first, I'm a little anxious, there is no one in this alley, so I just pee in this alley, and come in after I'm done."
"You're still a cultured person, you're vulgar." The girl looked disgusted and walked past Luoyang.
Luoyang suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm.
Her arms are thin, her skin is warm, and her touch is real.
But Luoyang still discovered some clues. The moment he grabbed the girl's hand, his eyes caught a bit of colorful light. Although it was fleeting, he could still see clearly.
The girl raised her eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Sorry, I am
I want you to help me keep an eye on people." Luoyang let go of his hand, and regardless of whether the girl agreed or not, he walked to the side of the door, picked up his robe and prepared to pour the water.
The girl spat and entered the yard.
A water arrow poured on the wall.
This time Luoyang could see it clearly. The colorful light changes appeared again, just at the moment when the water arrow hit the wall.
Luoyang pressed "pause" on the water arrow, accumulated it for two seconds and then released it.
Colorful light changes appeared again, and the scene was like hot water poured on a thin layer of sugar coating. The layer of sugar coating was melted, revealing colorful candies.
A smile appeared on the corner of Luoyang's mouth.
Before in the Hongxingyuan, he just had a feeling of grasping the thread. Now this feeling has become a reality, and he has grasped it.
The girl suddenly poked her head out from the door frame and looked over with almond-shaped eyes.
Luoyang hurriedly took it back and pretended to complain: "Why are you like this?"
The girl pulled her head back again.
Luoyang tidied his clothes, entered the courtyard gate, and walked towards the jujube tree.
The businessman pointed to the stone manhole cover: "Doctor Luo, look at this manhole cover."
Luoyang's eyes fell on the manhole cover and he was slightly stunned.
There was a Dharma seal engraved on the stone manhole cover. The ancient and mysterious patterns were densely packed and hard to count. It was the most complex Dharma seal he had ever seen.
"What kind of seal is this?" Luoyang asked.
The businessman said: "Aren't you looking for the ancient guild's lair? Activate this seal and you can enter the Holy Spirit Temple of the ancient guild."
Luoyang pretended to be excited: "That's great, but..."
"But what?" asked the businessman.
Luoyang said: "Since you know that behind this seal is the Holy Spirit Temple, can't you activate the seal yourself to enter? Why do you need me to come?"
"Only you can do it, but we can't," the businessman said.
Luoyang looked into the merchant's eyes.
"It's normal for you to have doubts and scruples, but I'm definitely not lying to you. We are not qualified to enter the Holy Spirit Temple. We are trapped here and cannot escape. If you activate this seal, we can all enter the Holy Spirit Temple." The businessman was very happy.
Sincere look.
Luoyang smiled: "Ji Zhong, your acting skills are good, you acted very well, but don't act next time."
