At the end of the note, Master lamented the difficulties of being a disciple of Maoshan. He described his mood at that time in the form of self-questioning.
"Why? Why can't we, as a Maoshan disciple, have a complete family and a perfect love? Are we destined to be lonely until old age after learning the Maoshan method?..."
Looking at the affectionate words, I almost wanted to shed tears.
I think the master at that time must have written this diary with tears in his eyes. Yes, he did write it with tears in his eyes. I saw that the paper on that page seemed to have been soaked with water, and the pen on it
The characters are also slightly off-inked, with traces of spreading in all directions.
"Oh! It's so touching." Ziyue shed tears from the corners of her eyes when she saw this.
Big tears fell on the paper. I had no choice but to close the book and force out a smile: "Okay, I'm done reading."
Ziyue wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes with her hand, glanced down at the notebook, and immediately began to mutter: "Maoshan Notes."
I was shocked and immediately put the notes away and prepared to put them in my French cloth bag.
After all, this is what Master left to me. The Dharma is not taught lightly, and the things of this sect cannot be learned casually.
At this time, Ziyue asked me: "Qiao Yang, is this a novel you wrote? It's so touching. Can you lend it to me?"
"That's not possible. I have many secrets hidden here." I smiled and said to Ziyue.
"The stingy guy won't read it if he doesn't want to." Ziyue rolled her eyes at me angrily, and then sighed: "Qiao Yang, I want to give you a suggestion, whether you can write the protagonist better next time. This
It’s too miserable! To have to look for summer insects twenty years later! It’s so sad.”
"Okay, I'll revise it later!" I put the book into my French bag.
"Yeah! After you've made the changes, show me a look. Later, I'll help you contact the publisher. I think this book should be published. The story is very attractive. It's called "Maoshan Notes" and the sales volume will be good."
Ziyue answered me seriously.
"Okay! Let's talk about this later. Let's first think about how to get out of this enchanted formation. No matter what, sitting here will definitely not work. Let's set off now and find a way out!"
I said to Ziyue.
I thought that this beauty's feet were healed, so instead of sitting here waiting for death, she might as well try her luck. Maybe she would actually get out of the formation, it was hard to say.
"Yeah! Okay, I'll listen to you." Ziyue nodded, and then she held her belly with her hand in embarrassment and said, "But can you wait for me for two minutes? I, I want to relieve myself.
.”
"Go for it!"
"Don't follow me."
Ziyue glared at me as a warning, then turned around and walked behind a big rock.
Looking at the girl's figure disappearing behind the stone, an idea suddenly came to my mind, that is, to summon the ghost fairy. I decided to ask Ji Yuanyuan to see if she could crack this.
Ecstasy. After all, she is a ghost and has supernatural powers.
I put my hand on the soul urn on my waist, and silently chanted "Ji Yuanyuan" in my heart, and said softly: "Ghost Fairy, Ghost Fairy, come out quickly! The young master is in trouble and needs your help."
As soon as I finished speaking, I clearly felt a biting cold air coming from my palm. Suddenly I saw a red light burst out, and after a while, a flower girl wearing a floral cotton-padded jacket stood in front of me.
"Master, what's wrong?"
Ji Yuanyuan gave me a maid salute very politely, which made my heart feel warm.
I cooed at her and said, "Here! Do you understand the ecstasy array in front of you?"
Ji Yuanyuan looked around, frowned slightly and said: "It's a bit complicated. However, it seems that this formation is laid out based on the restraints of the twelve zodiac signs."
"Really?" This girl didn't say anything, and I really didn't think about the twelve zodiac signs.
My eyes fell on the stone array in front of me again, and I looked carefully. The stones in front of me were really composed of the twelve zodiac signs. There were monkeys, roosters, dragons, snakes, etc., but at the same time, there were some stone figures interspersed in the middle.
Inside.
What's even more strange is that after looking at it for a long time, I didn't see the two zodiac signs of dog and rabbit.
"Strange, why are there not two zodiac animals, rabbit and dog?" I asked Ji Yuanyuan.
"Yeah! I noticed it too." Suddenly Ji Yuanyuan turned around and looked at me and said, "Who do you belong to?"
"Dog!" I said.
Ji Yuanyuan and I were talking when I suddenly saw a figure flashing out from behind the stone. I looked forward and saw that it was Ziyue coming out from behind the stone.
When the girl's eyes fell on Ji Yuanyuan's face, she froze there, with her mouth wide open for a while before she nodded towards Ji Yuanyuan and said, "Hello!"
"Hello!" Ji Yuanyuan also nodded to Ziyue, and then asked her: "Girl, who do you belong to?"
"rabbit!"
Ziyue answered instinctively, and then asked: "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"
"Nothing." Ji Yuanyuan smiled and walked forward slowly, pinching her fingers at the same time. Looking at the girl's expression, I knew she must be calculating something.
It seems that this girl has improved a lot recently. She seems to have developed magical powers and even knows how to use her fingers to predict hexagrams.
"Hey! Qiao Yang, where did this woman come from?" Ziyue asked me with a suspicious look on her face.
I didn't want to scare this girl, so I smiled and explained to her: "Like us, she is also a girl trapped in this ecstasy, and she bumped into us accidentally."
Ziyue's eyes widened, and she said to me with an exaggerated expression: "This woman can't be trapped in this enchantment circle since last winter, right? Look, she is still wearing a cotton-padded jacket! It's obviously winter.
It’s time to come in.”
"It's possible!" This girl's words made me want to laugh.
"I figured it out. I figured it out!" Cui Yuanyuan suddenly shouted with excitement.
"What's wrong? What did you figure out?" I asked Yuanyuan.
"I figured out where the birth gates of this formation are. Did you see that the only twelve zodiac signs here are rabbit and dog? But there are many more stone men, and some of these stone men have faces like dogs, and some have faces like dogs.
Like a rabbit."
As he spoke, Cui Yuanyuan pointed to the mouth of one of the stone figures and said: "Did you see that this stone figure is a woman, but if you look carefully, this woman's mouth has a hare lip. Look at this man's head and nose.
It looks like a dog’s nose!”
Looking in the direction of Ji Yuanyuan's finger, I actually saw a man and a woman whose heads looked like rabbits and dogs. Then I looked carefully at the other stone men, and found that without exception, in every stone man
There are some dog-like or rabbit-like expressions on their faces.
"It is true that these stone figures look like dogs and rabbits, but what does this mean?" Ziyue asked at the side.
"Yes! It means that the dog and the rabbit are the zodiac signs in this formation. In other words, the two people who broke into this formation, the man is a dog and the woman is a rabbit. Their soul consciousness has been absorbed
The twelve zodiac animals fit the scene here exactly. Therefore, you can’t find stone portraits of dogs and rabbits in the stone array of the 20 zodiac animals.”
After hearing what Cui Yuanyuan said, I suddenly realized that this was really the case. No wonder I couldn't find rabbits and dogs no matter how hard I searched.
I could understand what Cui Yuanyuan said, but it confused Ziyue.
She asked Cui Yuanyuan: "Then what do you belong to? Why is there no zodiac sign for you here?"
"I..." Cui Yuanyuan opened his mouth and put his hand on his head, as if he was remembering something: "I, I don't know who I belong to."
After hearing this, Ziyue glanced at Cui Yuanyuan with some suspicion, then walked to my side and whispered: "Qiao Yang, be careful. I think there is something wrong with this woman's brain."
"Understood! I will pay attention to this matter." I agreed to Ziyue helplessly.
I know that Cui Yuanyuan is not having a brain problem, but that her memory is not very good. She cannot remember many things in her life. Moreover, she is a ghost, and ghosts are both Yin and incorporeal bodies. The twelve zodiac signs in the formation are
Her soul consciousness was not taken into it, which was normal.
Cui Yuanyuan fell into deep thought. It looked like the girl was in pain. She was probably thinking about what happened during her lifetime.
I was afraid that something would happen to this girl, so I walked over and interrupted her train of thought.
"Yuanyuan, you just said that you have found the birth gate in the formation. Where is the birth gate?" I asked her, not only to get out of the formation early, but also to divert her thoughts.
My trick really worked. Cui Yuanyuan immediately came to his senses and replied to me: "You and this girl's zodiac signs are rabbit and dog. Among the twelve zodiac signs, they happen to be Mao and Xu, and Mao and Xu are in conjunction with Liu.
After combining, it becomes fire. The southern Bingding fire, since the twelve zodiac signs here all show your natal images, it means that this formation has opened a door for you."
I had heard the word Shengmen before when I was hanging out with Uncle Yuan. It was from Qimen Dunjia.
It is said that there are eight formations in Qimen Dunjia, namely the opening gate, the rest gate, the life gate, the injury gate, the Du gate, the scene gate, the shock gate and the death gate. If you break through the injury gate, you will definitely be injured, and if you break through the death gate, you will most likely be injured.
To die.
The safest thing is to find the exit gate and escape from the exit gate of the formation, then everything will be fine.
Regarding the Ecstasy Array, it may not be a big deal to break into the other seven gates, but the whole person will be trapped in the formation and cannot get out. Only by finding the Shengmen Gate can you have a chance to escape.
"Okay, since the south is the birthplace of the formation, let's give it a try!" I walked toward Cui Yuanyuan and prepared to walk south.
At this time, the moon has risen.
I inadvertently glanced behind Cui Yuanyuan and couldn't help but be startled. I saw the shadow behind the girl with a pair of long horns, but there was no human figure at all.
Fortunately, Ziyue didn't see this scene, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
It seems that we have to find an opportunity to put this ghost fairy into the soul urn. Leaving her exposed for a long time will also consume a lot of her physical strength.
Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly saw Cui Yuanyuan walking towards me. She gently supported her head with her hands and looked a little tired.
"Master, I'm a little sleepy. How about you carry me on your back?"
In order not to scare Ziyue, I decided to carry this girl on my back first, and then find a suitable opportunity to take her into the soul urn.
Cui Yuanyuan is a shadow ghost, and it doesn't weigh much on my back at all. And in this way, I can better conceal her identity as a ghost.
After all, Ziyue and I are not very familiar yet. Who knows that this girl will treat me as some kind of monster after knowing Cui Yuanyuan's identity. It would be bad if she hurt Cui Yuanyuan.
"Okay! Come up!"
I winked at Cui Yuanyuan and the girl immediately lay on my shoulder.
Ziyue looked at Cui Yuanyuan behind me and sighed helplessly: "Qiao Yang, it seems you are very busy tonight."
Obviously, she mistook Cui Yuanyuan for a mentally retarded woman. She never knew that she was a ghost with magic powers.
