My second brother was scolded like this, but he still smiled, hugged the old man's shoulders affectionately and said: Brother Tianyu, I knew you would come.
Zhu Kaihua muttered to me at this time, "Your second brother is not born with a dead fish face when it comes to love. He uses his face to show whoever he meets. If you dare to fall in love with a few brothers, are they not worthy of your second brother's smiling face?"
I smiled bitterly and shook my head, saying: Don't ask me, he treats me like that too, you are watching, don't take this little thing to heart. Besides, you don't care about him being a man?
When Zhu Kaihua heard this, he immediately came close to me and asked me furtively: Your two brothers are guarding here, but they haven't seen your little lover Bai Jin?
As soon as I heard this name, my heart tightened. But I could only smile and shake my head.
At this time, the old man and my second brother had already entered the tent. Standing outside, we could hear the old man yelling from inside: Are you still determined to give up?!
My second brother replied: Can you give up? Even if I give up, what about others? Do you know how many people are following this now and how many pairs of eyes are watching?!
After a period of calm, the old man sighed and said something. The voice of this sentence had obviously become quieter, and we could hear it very vaguely outside, probably.
Is there still time?
At this time, my second brother may have discovered our eavesdropping and deliberately lowered his voice. No matter how hard we raised our ears, we couldn't hear the rest of the conversation.
Then the old man shouted, shouting,
How sure are you?
My second brother's voice was still below, but it was blurry. I wanted to press my whole body against the tent. When I looked up, I saw that my second brother had opened the curtain of the tent and walked out. I saw that I was standing there.
I overheard and glared at me, but the old man came up behind my second brother and pointed his crutch at me arrogantly and asked my second brother.
"Is this Zhao Sanliang?"
My second brother nodded. Then the old man looked at me like an animal. After looking at the front, he turned around again and looked behind him. It was like people buying mules in the past, and they had to choose the one with the best physique. I was
He was furious, but he was too embarrassed to get angry. After all, this was a person that my second brother always wanted to entertain with a smile. Moreover, from the vague conversation, it seemed that this old man was also aware of what happened back then. It was hard to get angry.
It's so exciting, but it's not a big deal for you to look at me like this. Do you think this is a mule trading market?
So I started to look at this old man, looking at him as he looked at me, what is this trick called, treating others in their own way. But after the old man looked at me, he asked my second brother,
road:
Who said pinching the bones can kill someone?
The meaning of this sentence is to ask, who weighed my bones and pinched my life. I was confused. The second brother replied: "It is absolutely wrong. The person who weighed his bones is of the same seniority as you."
The old man turned around and looked back at me, nodded with a little regret and said two words.
improvise.
I was furious at the time. I told you what kind of riddles you two were talking about and I couldn’t understand it. Forget it. You just looked at me like an animal in front of me. But what was your look? What was your tone? What were your words?
?
improvise?
Others say that I have half the combat power, but that means my force value is at full value, so I tolerate it, but you, an old man who is about to fall down when the wind blows, also say that you are just a buddy?
But I can't get angry with him. Not to mention the second brother's attitude towards him, this old man's appearance is actually not bad. Although he is senile, he is quite a fairy. Not all worldly masters in novels are like this.
Well? But if I let him toss me like this, I can't bear it, but my aunt can't bear it!
Next, I followed the same example, imitating the way the old man looked at my whole body, and circled around him, but I changed my eyes to lustful eyes. After reading it, I said to my second brother: Second brother
Son, you know that brother is good at this, but this one is a bit too old, can you bear it?
After saying that, he shook his head seriously and said: Hey, forget it, in this wilderness, let's do it.
As soon as I finished speaking, I looked at the old man's reaction out of the corner of my eye. His face suddenly turned green. I was secretly enjoying myself for my wit, when the second brother slapped me on the face.
This slap was so hard that I fell to the ground all of a sudden, and my whole head was buzzing.
This slap brought out all the resentment I had hidden from my second brother for so long. I felt so wronged that I stared at him with tears in my eyes.
My second brother pointed at me and cursed: If you are not convinced, get back now!
Although the second brother is usually very old-fashioned, he has never been so angry with me. Even if I caused a huge disaster in Luoyang, he would silently wipe my butt. Now he slaps me because of an outsider? Where am I?
Are you willing to do it? But you don’t dare to talk back, so you can only stare at him bitterly.
When the second brother saw my appearance, he immediately rushed up and beat me. The old man used his crutch and swung it in front of him and said: Forget it, young people are ignorant.
My second brother then stopped his hand, bowed his hand to the old man, and said: "Mr. Tianyu is laughing, Sanliang is spoiled."
The old man smiled, waved his hand and said: It's okay, I am several times his age, how can I still be as knowledgeable as him?
The second brother glared at me, then called my eldest brother, and Zhu Kaihua and Zhang Kaixuan who were watching my beating as a joke, called to the old man's side, pointed at the old man with his hand, and said: This is Mr. Liu Tianyu.
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Kaihua let out a cry, looked at the old man in surprise, and said incoherently: You...are you Liu Tianyu?!
The old man nodded sullenly, as if he was very proud of his name. I sneered, but I muttered in my heart: Liu Tianyu? Is he very famous? I haven't heard of it, buddy.
Seeing the old man nodding, Zhu Kaihua took three steps back and kowtowed three times to him solemnly. I was dumbfounded by what I saw. Zhu Kaihua was possessed by a ghost?!
After kowtowing, Zhu Kaihua cupped his hands and said solemnly: These three kowtows are for my master. He has wanted to find you all his life to repay you for saving his life, but it is a pity that he never found you until his death. That one-armed
The old man has never begged anyone in his life. Before he died, he begged me that if I had the honor to meet you and kowtow these three times for him, it would be my repayment for his master-disciple relationship.
If you were another person, and suddenly someone knelt down and kowtowed to you, your first reaction would be to help him up. However, this old man was very arrogant. He just frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a smile: One-armed old man,
Is your master the little Captain Jin from Yannan?
Zhu Kaihua nodded, and the old man laughed, then he helped Zhu Kaihua up, looked at him, and said with admiration: When he was disobedient, I only saved him for a moment, but that kid was not lucky, so I gave him up.
You are such a good apprentice.
Holy shit! How old is Zhu Kaihua? I’ve heard him talk about his master. He was also an old man, and he’s been dead for who knows how many years. This old man named Liu Tianyu actually called Zhu Kaihua’s master that boy?!
I was actually dissatisfied with him just now. If I had known I would have enshrined him. My brother has always respected this kind of old immortal!
If a person's mentality changes, the feeling of looking at people will be completely different. If you like someone, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The more you look at him, the more beautiful he becomes. If you hate someone, the more you look at him, the more disgusting he becomes. Now I look at this old man,
The more I look at it, the more mysterious it becomes!
At this time, my second brother spoke again and said: What we have been waiting for is Mr. Liu. Whether he can walk through the steps and enter the Great Leiyin Temple depends on him alone.
After speaking, he paused and said coldly:
Wait, everyone will follow me closely. Don’t make a wrong move. If anyone wants to cause trouble deliberately, don’t blame me, Zhao, for turning against me!
Then he pointed at me and said: Including you!
After saying that, he started to pack his own equipment. I have to say that at this time, my second brother was very domineering. I didn't dare to say anything, so I quickly packed my own things and waited until everything was packed.
We were standing in front of the steps leading to Daleiyin Temple.
Anyone who has seen the mandrill knows that if you take this step, you will end up like the monkey. At this moment, no one dared to say anything, and the air became solemn.
The old man took out a compass, three turtle shells, five copper coins, and a folded silk cloth. After unfolding it, it turned out to be a Bagua chart.
The second brother solemnly hugged the old man and said: Please!
The old man nodded and said: Go ahead and remember what you promised me.
After saying that, the old man stood in the Bagua Diagram. He lost his crutch, and his aura instantly soared, with a look of determination. This is the land god that can only be heard in legends!
The old man raised his hand and threw away the turtle shell, scattered six copper coins, raised his head and shouted to my second brother
"Muxing, Xun, three steps to the northwest and left, twenty!"
After saying that, the old man looked up and a mouthful of blood spurted out!
The second brother put his foot down and shouted to us, "Follow us!"
The old man picked up the divination tool he had brought with him, dropped it, and shouted:
"Dui, gold, southwest, two steps to the side, fifteen!"
The second brother stepped out without hesitation. At this time, I looked back at the old man, one eye was already hanging out, and his face was covered with blood, which was extremely terrifying.
"Earth, earthquake, southeast, due east, nine!"
The second brother stepped out, and we looked back at the old man named Liu. The other eye was also hanging on his face, twisted into a twist!
The second brother yelled, "Old sir, next step!"
The old man's eyes were completely gone. He squatted on the Eight Formation Diagram with both hands and groped, and then shouted
"Gold, Qian, due south, one step away, eleven and a half!"
The four of us stepped down. One of the old man's arms was broken, and a stream of blood spurted out from his sword. He staggered and almost lost his balance. But he got up and continued to divination.
"Fire, Gen, northeast, middle, three!"
"Next step!"
"Water, away, two steps to the right due west, seventeen!"
.............................
When we reached the ninth step, the old man surnamed Liu only had one arm and the entire upper body left. I grabbed the second brother. At this time, not only me, but also Zhu Kaihua, Zhang Kaixuan, including the eldest brother, all had tears on their faces.
.
"Don't leave, I beg..."
Before he finished speaking, my second brother slapped the old man and shouted to the old man with a choked voice, "Old sir, next step!"
The old man surnamed Liu was covered in a pool of blood. He moved his arms with great difficulty and threw out the last hexagram of Zhan.
"Mu, Kun, three steps north to the right, twenty-three!"
The second brother stepped down. In front of him was the cold plaque of Da Leiyin Temple.
Under the stairs, there was a torn corpse and a Tai Chi diagram stained with blood.
Seeing the old man surnamed Liu standing on the ground with his whole upper body still standing, I couldn't help but squat on the ground holding my head and cried loudly.
Is it right for us to do this?
What is it for?
At this time, my second brother knelt down facing the place where Liu Tianyu's body was scattered. He murmured:
Ten steps into thunder, one step at a time.
My scalp exploded! Is this a divine punishment!? In the TV series Fengyun, there is a clay Bodhisattva who performs divination for Xiongba and reveals secrets. But in my own impression, seven out of ten so-called fortune tellers are charlatans, and they often talk about secrets.
Leaked claims.
But who doesn’t know that what they don’t want to leak means they don’t have enough money? Once the money is enough, the damn secrets cannot be leaked. Aren’t the party’s slogans all centered on economic construction?
But what about the scattered corpse fragments in front of me?
The second brother said, "Ten steps are like the sound of thunder, and every step is a secret." Liu Tianyu reported the obscure and difficult gossip positions for each hexagram.
The second brother is cautious and the second brother takes every step with precision.
In addition, we saw the converted white-haired mandrill with our own eyes before.
I don't know if I can think so.
Without Liu Tianyu's divination, if we walked up the steps like that, we would be like that mandrill, kowtowing three times at a time? The real explanation of the second brother's words is as follows
Ten steps are like the sound of thunder, every step is a hexagram, and every step is a divination.
One leak and one day of punishment?!
This is why my second brother respects Liu Tianyu so much and even whipped me after I teased him, because when Liu Tianyu came, he already knew that he would die.
Does the second brother know, does Liu Tianyu know that what he wants to divine will lead to his own death?
His expression and reaction during the divination showed that he knew.
Doing it knowing you can't do it, doing it knowing you will die?
Before we went up the steps, Liu Tianyu told my second brother to remember what he promised him.
What did the second brother promise him, so that he would die willingly? This feeling made me feel cold all over, as if everyone I came into contact with had fallen into madness.
A Zhao Jianguo who can abandon his wife for twenty years, a Taoist priest who can wait for me at Leiyin Temple in Mingsha Mountain for twenty years, and Liu Tianyu who is willing to die generously.
I have watched many red war movies. I know about Dong Cunrui, I know about Qiu Shaoyun, I know about Huang Jiguang, and I also know that what they did was because of their persistence. They firmly believed that the party they fought for would not be as good as the regime at that time.
They generally exploit, oppress and deceive their compatriots. I can't say they are stupid because they cannot see the current China.
However, Zhao Jianguo was not a patriotic person, nor was he an impassioned person who would die for the sake of national justice. In fact, he was just a tomb robber, someone who would dig up other people's graves at all costs to survive.
What is it that supports him?
What supports them?
The second brother said that it was for my own good not to let me know more things. I always took it as a shirk and as an excuse for him to hide it from me, but when I really put myself in his shoes.
If I really knew everything, would I be as crazy as them?
Will he be like Liu Tianyu, laughing as he looks at his body that is disintegrating step by step?
I feel like falling into an ice cave.
While I was wandering in my thoughts, Zhu Kaihua pulled my second brother, his face was unprecedentedly solemn, and said: "Second brother of the Zhao family, I rarely admire people with my surname Zhu, but I admire Senior Liu, and I don't think I can do it."
Like him, I also know that you have your difficulties. To be honest, I followed you here because of the small amount of money Xiao Sanliang received. My surname is Zhu, and I don’t have as deep a foundation as your old Zhao family, but I definitely won’t.
Take it to heart, you are not a mortal. I can see that my brother followed you here willingly. I can’t blame anyone and I can’t abduct anyone. But should you give me an explanation as to what is going on?!
After finishing speaking, he almost roared. Liu Tianyu's death stimulated him too much. He shouted:
I can die! But you have to let me understand what is going on! What is going on with this Leiyin Temple!
My second brother looked at him calmly and said: I don’t know.
Zhu Kaihua couldn't do anything about my second brother's attitude. It was me who was wrong, and he got angry. Not to mention his fiery temper. He pointed angrily at my second brother and said three words "you", then gritted his teeth and said to me
He said: Xiao Sanliang, I don’t want the money anymore. You are a real person. I recognize you as my friend, but I really can’t help with this matter. I can’t afford to play with it. I won’t play with it anymore. After saying that, he turned around and left.
My second brother looked at his back, sighed and said:
If you don't leave, you won't necessarily die. If you leave now, you will definitely die.
With one sentence, Zhu Kaihua's figure was nailed there. He looked at Liu Tianyu's torn corpse, and his steps did not fall after all. He turned back and stood beside Zhang Kaixuan bitterly, without saying a word.
Even from afar, I could feel his anger, and he couldn't help cursing to himself: "It's so fucking painful to be idle. I have to get involved in this matter. I'll fall into this situation. I've spent eight lifetimes of blood."
mold!
My second brother looked up and looked at the plaque of Leiyin Temple, and I also looked at it. This is the most solemn and sacred place in Buddhism, but these few words gave me the gloomy feeling of Yama Temple. I can even clearly understand
I had the feeling that something was watching us in the hall behind the plaque, with a sneer on its face, as if looking at a dead person.
Just like the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who smiled coldly at the world.
When we followed the footsteps of the second brother and approached the main hall, we could feel its simplicity and heaviness when we looked closely. The second brother put his hand on the door and pushed it gently, but dust all over the sky was stirred up.
It was such a mess that made me recover. The main reason was that the stairs of the palace were too weird, and Liu Tianyu's miserable death method made my spirit tense all the time, but I forgot that what was in front of me,
Although its name is Da Leiyin Temple. No matter how domineering the name is, it is still a tomb. It is an ancient tomb, and it has been explored by my father and his group.
Only one piece of Zhao Jianguo's human skin was found earlier. Doesn't that mean that the other people are not dead? If you think of it as a temple-shaped bucket, he is not so scary. Where the real gods live, there will be so much dust? Wait until
When all the doors were opened, a rotten smell came out. I even relaxed and said to Zhu Kaihua: "Look at you, Lao Zhu, you are scared. Is this just a fight?"
Zhu Kaihua was angry with my second brother, which spread to me. When he heard me talking to him, he ignored me. I was so bored and knew that I couldn't speak clearly for a while, so I just shut up and stopped talking.
.
The area of Leiyin Temple is much smaller than the one in Mingsha Mountain. When we entered the main hall, several large searchlights dazzled people, but despite this, we could still get a general idea of what was inside.
There are no Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats or the like enshrined here. They are all stone coffins, exuding a cold atmosphere. The tranquility and inaction of Buddhism are vividly displayed inside, and there are no burial objects at all.
, except for the coffins, they are all coffins, except that the sarcophagus in the middle is much larger. The concept of superiority and inferiority in ancient times is very deep. If you can stand out among a group of coffins, you must be a boss-level existence, so my
All attention was focused on the coffin.
When I shined a light on the coffin, I saw two large bronze incense burners placed on both sides of the coffin. There was also a huge screen behind the coffin. If I looked carefully, I saw there were paintings on the screen.
Our biggest problem now is that we don’t know anything about this tomb, so all the texts, pictures and other things that can provide clues are very valuable. I pointed to the screen and said: Let’s go to that first and see what is painted on it.
, it would also be nice to know whose tomb this is, right?
None of them objected. As a result, everyone's attention was focused on the screen. Just now, I shined a light on it, and now all five lights were focused on one point, making the screen look a little bright.
Bright.
That's when I saw a white hand clasped on the edge of the screen, with half a blurry face on top of the hand.
