I looked down at my feet and walked into the yard. I took seven or eight steps back. Just when I thought it was almost done and turned around, the scene of the yard in front of me suddenly returned to the house.
Although he returned to the house, the old Taoist priest who fell on the ground disappeared without a trace.
At this time, I saw beads of sweat on my forehead.
I turned around a dozen times, but every time I turned around, the yard and the house changed positions.
I thought that the two little Taoist priests were coming back soon, and they might not know how they would react to me when they saw their master and uncle lying on the ground.
If that doesn't work, I'd better go back to bed and lie down.
Just pretend that the old Taoist priest was knocked unconscious by someone else, and when the time comes, he bites me to death and I am unconscious, with nothing left.
Just when I was about to go back to bed and pretend to be dead, I suddenly found a little Taoist priest sitting on the camp bed where I was lying just now, grinning at me.
Compared with the handsome one who is a little too gilded, the little Taoist priest in front of me is really shabby.
This man is about the same height as Liu Jin, but he has the face of an adult child with Down syndrome.
A big white and fat face is framed with two black bean-like eyes.
The left half of the face is covered with circles of ringworm, and the right half of the face is covered with countless pockmarks.
The little old Taoist opened his mouth and smiled stupidly at me. When he opened his mouth, stringy saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth.
I recognized it, this was the little old man who had his back to me just now.
This shy little Taoist wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, smiled silly at me, and said:
"Is it fun?
Is it like having a dream?
Just like this house, you can’t tell which side is inside and which side is outside.”
When the little Taoist priest began to speak, I seemed to have heard this voice somewhere.
Before the little Taoist priest could finish speaking, I suddenly interrupted him, pointed at his nose and said:
"It's you! It's you!
One of the two people who broke into the house during the heavy fog to scare me last night was you!
You said I bumped in by mistake, was it you?"
"Jiejiejiejie"
The ugly old Taoist laughed like an owl from his mouth. After laughing a few times, he said:
"No wonder the superior said you were interesting and remembered my voice in just one sentence.
Originally, my master was thinking of making up a lie to fool you.
But if it is fake, it is fake. At most, it will only deceive you for three to five years.
When you come back to your senses, the excitement will be even greater and you will have to live or die.
It's better to tell the truth and tell you the truth directly.
Whether you can accept it or not is up to you.”
Having said this, the ugly old man slowly got out of bed and walked up to me with a smile.
He took out a crumpled pack of cheap cigarettes from his arms, took out a cigarette from it and handed it to me.
After hesitating for a moment, I took the cigarette.
The ugly Taoist priest took out a lighter to light a cigarette for me and said with a smile:
"Aren't you afraid that I put drugs in the cigarette?
Maybe after you finish smoking this cigarette, you will be friends with the three of you in this world."
I blew a smoke ring into the ugly Taoist priest's face and said:
"You want my three friends? There's no need to waste a cigarette.
When I was lying on the bed just now, you could have my three friends anytime, anywhere."
"Jie Jie Jie"
The ugly old man laughed like an owl again. After laughing, he lit a cigarette himself.
After taking a sip, the ugly old man said to me:
"Since you've been so cooperative, I won't talk nonsense.
Regarding your experiences these past few days, there are two explanations, scientific and non-scientific, which one do you want to listen to?"
After taking a deep breath, I threw the half-smoked cigarette on the ground and said:
"If you were me, which explanation would you choose?"
"Jie Jie Jie"
After listening to my words, the ugly Taoist laughed again.
He smiled and patted me on the shoulder and said:
"You've really stumped me. Otherwise, I'd better leave it to your three friends."
Although I knew the ugly Taoist priest was joking, I still involuntarily took a step back and distanced myself from him.
The ugly Taoist priest tilted his head and looked at me, then continued with a smile:
“Let’s not talk about the illusion of time and environmental distortion in Einstein’s general theory of relativity.
Let’s get straight to the point.
Do you believe there are gods in this world?"
I didn't expect that the ugly Taoist priest would directly bring the topic to the gods and said directly to him:
"Actually, it's not that I can't believe what you said about ghosts breaking walls and ghosts covering eyes.
There is no need to involve gods
Your opening is like a fairy. This step is too big, and I'm afraid you won't be able to make it right later."
"If the circle is round or round, you have to listen to what I have to say first."
The ugly Taoist priest waved his hand and continued:
"Have you ever heard that one day in heaven lasts three years on earth?
Some people mistakenly enter the paradise of immortals, stay there for one day, and then return to the human world three years later."
Before the ugly Taoist priest could finish speaking, I interrupted him and said:
"You said you three are all gods?
Don't make trouble, I have read Journey to the West and The List of Gods. Gods are not like you.
They must be immortals, old men with white beards, old ladies and so on."
The ugly Taoist priest looked at me with a half-smile and said:
"Let me finish.
When you entered the Taoist temple the day before yesterday, you happened to meet the immortals who descended to earth.
The gods made a little joke with you. Originally, you just had to stay there. When the ban on the Taoist temple is lifted the next morning, you can go down the mountain to reunite with your relatives.
Nothing will happen after that.
It's a pity that before the ban was lifted, you, the donor, ran down the mountain on your own.
The result is that you have caused us Taoist masters and disciples to be wiped out for three years without any reason."
Listening to the ugly Taoist priest's words getting more and more wrong, I quickly interrupted him and said:
"Wait a minute
Are you putting the blame on me?
Brother, you are going a little too far here.
Is it because my wife and children are separated from each other?"
The ugly Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and looked at me and said:
"Donor, when you entered the Taoist temple, did my junior brother stop you?
Did you say that there is something big going on in the Taoist temple today, so you can’t come in?
When you threw it out in the morning, he was chasing you again. Did he tell you that if you went down the mountain at that time, something big would happen?
If you had listened to his words, you wouldn't be what you are now."
After hearing what the ugly Taoist said, I quickly said:
"wrong!
Then it's your junior brother's fault. You should tell me earlier that you have a god here and ask me to be honest.
Regardless of whether I believed it or not at the time, he never said that the gods had come to your place.
If I leave without authorization, it will cause such a big trouble."
After hearing what I said, the ugly Taoist priest laughed "Jie Jie Jie" again.
After laughing, he stared at me and said:
"So, donor, you believe there are gods in this world, right?"
