Brother Lu and I rushed to the station and caught the last train to Meishan Town.
By the time he and I arrived at Meishan Town, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and no one was outside in the town.
"Find a hotel to rest for the night first, and then go up the mountain tomorrow morning." I took Brother Lu with me and found this, which may be the only hotel in Meishan Town.
The person at the front desk was a young girl in her twenties or two. It looked like she had just graduated from college and was looking for a job. She had a very good attitude.
A double room was opened on the third floor, and Brother Lu and I walked in.
This hotel is similar to the last time I came here. The rooms are very shabby, but they are quite clean.
Brother Lu went directly to the bed and asked: "Fengzi, what is your mission in Meishan this time? Tell me."
"It's nothing. Liu Boqing gave me two tasks. The first is to help him consolidate a seal, and the second is to save his apprentice. It seems that he calculated that his apprentice would be in danger." I sat on the bed, while
He took off his shoes and said: "It's very simple to save his apprentice. I felt that the seal was a bit of a headache. He told me to go into the cave where the monster was sealed, then find the door to seal the monster, and put this token on the door.
Just get on it, it’s not difficult.”
"You ask him if his apprentice will encounter any danger? What if it is particularly dangerous." Brother Lu frowned and asked.
"I don't know. Let's see when the time comes. If the situation is dangerous, we won't save you." I said.
The prerequisite for saving others is that I am not in danger. If I risk my own life just to save others, it is not worth it. I believe Liu Boqing can understand.
Then Brother Lu and I chatted casually for a few more words, then lay on the bed and fell asleep.
I rubbed my eyes drowsily, yawned, and looked outside. It was already dawn, and Brother Donkey was lying on the bed next to me, still sleeping like a dead pig.
"Get up and go up the mountain. Let's solve the seal problem first." I kicked Brother Lu on the butt, and Brother Lu got up extremely reluctantly. We both washed briefly, then I took my backpack and started walking.
Walking out of this hotel with Brother Lu.
Today is supposed to be a market day. There are a lot of people on the street. Of course, Brother Lu and I are not in the mood to stroll around. We just bought some potato chips and other things on the street and put them on our backpacks. I don’t know how many days it will take to go up the mountain.
When we come down, we have to buy something to eat and write.
Originally, Brother Lu was going to buy a few buckets of instant noodles, but I scolded him for being stupid. He bought a bunch of instant noodles, but he couldn't find hot water to make them.
We were almost ready, so we walked to the foot of the mountain and then walked up the mountain along a winding path.
There is actually nothing weird about Meishan during the day. There are birds chirping and flowers fragrant everywhere. Occasionally, you can see birds flying by, or a rabbit running past your feet while walking.
Only at night, Meishan will turn into another world. Except for some groups of evil creatures, you can't find them at all, such as rabbits, not even snakes and other creatures.
Brother Lu and I walked for two hours before we reached the halfway point of the mountain and finally saw the dilapidated ancient temple.
I remember back then, Brother Jingfeng and I were almost killed by a group of monkeys in this ruined temple.
I pushed open the door of the ruined temple, and there were some mats and the like inside.
I know that there is a village called Hongye Village on this mountain. Hongye Village may not be able to reach the bottom of the mountain from morning to night, so usually at night, they will rest in this ruined temple.
But I'm also quite puzzled. If Meishan is so evil, how can the villagers of Hongye Village still live here? Even Liu Boqing lived there for several years.
After thinking for a while, of course I couldn't figure it out, so I took out the potato chips and sat on the floor with Brother Lu to eat them.
"This place is quite nice. It's warm in winter and cool in summer." Brother Lu took off his shirt as he ate and leaned against the giant stone statue of the charming monkey.
"Didn't you hear from me half a year ago that I was learning Taoism from my master on this mountain? This mountain is not as good as you think." I smiled lightly.
"I feel pretty good anyway. By the way, how long does it take to get to the place where the monsters are sealed?" Brother Donkey asked me.
"There are still five or six hours left. That place is near Hongye Village." As soon as I finished speaking, I heard footsteps. I frowned slightly and turned around to see a young man in his twenties or eighties coming from outside the temple.
When he walked in, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Brother Lu and me, but then he laughed and said, "Brothers, why don't you rest here? You don't mind if I sit down for a while."
Brother Lu was a familiar person, so he quickly said: "Sit down, brother, are you from the mountains too?"
"No, my name is Chen Lei. Something strange happened in the village. I will go down the mountain to pick up a police comrade to go up the mountain to investigate." Chen Lei said with a smile.
"Police?" I asked strangely, "What happened?"
"I'm sorry, the village chief said not to gossip to outsiders." Chen Lei looked at me apologetically, and then handed over two noodles, which were probably baked by the village themselves.
"Brother Chen, what is the policeman's name?" I asked casually.
"I heard from the village chief that he is from Chengdu, and his name is Wu Jiu." Chen Lei took a bite of the dough and said, "He may arrive this afternoon. I will lead him up the mountain tonight. You must be traveling to the mountain, right?"
It’s better to go up early, there are many wolves in the mountains at night and it’s not safe.”
Wolf? That thing dared to run wild in Meishan, but Chen Lei also had good intentions, so I nodded.
Chen Lei looked at the time, stood up quickly and said, "It's getting late, I have to go to Chengdu to pick up the police comrade."
After saying that, Chen Lei walked out of the temple gate.
As soon as Chen Lei left, Brother Lu smiled and said: "Uncle Liu's calculations were really accurate. He asked you to rescue his apprentice. I didn't expect that his apprentice would actually come."
"Otherwise, you think Liu Boqing's reputation is just blown out?" I rolled my eyes at Brother Lu, thought for a while and said, "Since Wu Jiu is coming, let's wait for him to arrive nearby."
"You really want to complete the task assigned to you by Liu Boqing." Brother Lu looked at me and asked, "When did you become so responsible?"
"You know nothing." I rolled my eyes at him. I wanted to ask Liu Boqing to help me find the "Fate" book. If his apprentice really encountered any danger and died, Liu Boqing would help me find the "Fate" book.
I was too lazy to talk to Brother Lu. Anyway, according to Chen Lei, I would not be able to pick up Wu Jiu until the afternoon, so I just lay down on the mat on the ground and continued to sleep.
I don't know why, I guess it's just a habit. I want to sleep whenever I'm bored.
When I was half asleep, Brother Lu woke me up.
"Hurry up, have we been deceived by Chen Lei? It's almost seven o'clock, and Wu Jiu and Chen Lei haven't come yet."
