I've been here for so long that I forgot that I came here to get morning dew.
"Taoist Master, can I stay here with this friend for one night? I want to pick some morning dew tomorrow morning?"
"Of course it's possible. I'll order you to arrange two rooms for you soon."
I looked at Taoist Ran Deng, nodded and said,
"Um!"
Then Xuan Lei and I came to the courtyard of the pavilion with Taoist Randen and Master Taiyi. Taoist Randen asked Xiaoji to arrange a room for us. The two old men sat in the courtyard and played chess again.
.
"Taiyi, look at me winning this time and you will be convinced."
"Don't be afraid of flashing your tongue when you speak big words. Watch how I pluck out your eyebrows, you little thief."
We followed Xiao Yize to the side of the pavilion, which is a house specially designed for guests to live in. It was also the house where I, Lord Ji Kao and Di Xin lived before.
Xiao Yi looked at us and said,
"You two, these houses are all vacant, so please choose whichever one you like."
Xuan Lei and I chose the two rooms facing each other on the outermost side, then looked at Xiao Yi and said thank you.
"Well, if there's nothing else to do, I'll take my leave now."
Xuan Lei and I looked at Xiao Yi, nodded, and said,
"Um!"
After Xiaoji left, Xuan Lei and I went into the room. Just when we were about to lie down and rest for a while, Xuan Lei came over and knocked on my door.
I opened the door and looked at him,
"If you don't sleep, you will have to get up early tomorrow to collect dew. If you are late, you will have to wait until the day after tomorrow."
"Isn't it still early? I can't sleep either! Besides, this place is so wonderful and fun, why don't we go for a walk?"
Let’s take a walk. To be honest, in this world of flowers, I have only wandered around on the streets, and other than the entrance to the cave. Apart from this iris, I really haven’t been anywhere else. It’s still early anyway.
?I can’t sleep either, so I might as well go shopping with him.
I also looked at Xuan Lei,
"I'm not familiar with this place. Don't we get lost?"
"How could this happen? Don't worry, I, Xuan Lei, will never get lost with you."
In this way, Xuan Lei and I left the pavilion of Taoist Ran Deng and came to the street. At first, the street was no different from when we came. When we reached the end of the street, we left again.
A very long way.
We came to a mountain, which was full of green and various plants, but these plants were all very tall. The lowest ones were as tall as Xuan Lei and I.
I looked at Xuan Lei,
"These plants can't be cannibals, right? Otherwise, why would they grow so tall?"
"Where can there be so many man-eating plants!"
As we were chatting, Xuan Lei and I came to a waterfall. This waterfall was unusual. There was still some distance between the waterfall and the mountain. Behind the waterfall was a piece of dry land without any trace of water. I
I vaguely saw a cave behind the waterfall. The entrance of the cave was a door, which was tightly closed. I pointed to the cave behind the waterfall and said,
"Isn't this a cave that leads somewhere?"
"I don't know about this either? Why don't we go in and take a look?"
"Isn't this... bad? After all, we are on someone else's territory. It might not be appropriate to enter without permission."
"Hey! When did you become so verbose? You were not like this before?" Xuan Lei took my hand, and we imaginary wings crossed the waterfall and came to the cave.
I saw on the small closed door that it was written that non-members of the Chan Cult were not allowed to enter.
Xuan Lei and I looked at each other,
"Are we still going in?" I asked.
"I'm afraid that I've come here, so what if I go in?"
I saw a round yin and yang diagram on the small wooden door. Xuan Lei went up and twisted it a few times, and the door opened by itself. He looked at me proudly,
"How about it, am I awesome?"
"Okay, okay, you're good, right?"
The two of us walked into this cave**. It was so dark inside that we couldn't see anything clearly. Not only that, it was also so cold that I shivered.
"Xuan Lei, why don't we leave quickly! I think it's so gloomy here and I'm scared."
"With me, there is nothing to be afraid of."
I just felt that when we were talking, we had reached the end. I used the faint light from the entrance of the cave to look in front of me. There was a stone wall blocking our eyes. I reached out and patted it. The sound seemed very strange.
Hollow, could there be something behind this wall? On the left and right sides of the stone wall, a stone lion was holding a hand. The lion also had a stone ball in its mouth. Xuan Lei stepped forward and touched the stone.
The lion's eyes suddenly shook.
"Hey Xuan Lei, what did you do? Don't move around, otherwise this place will collapse and we will be buried alive."
"Oh! I know! I just touched the stone lion. Why did you have such a big reaction?"
"Stone lion?"
"yes!"
I walked towards the lion on my right and looked carefully up, down, left and right. I put my hand into its mouth and turned the ball. Unexpectedly, the stone door in front of me suddenly moved up. The stone wall
The oil lamps inside were lit by themselves, illuminating everything. Xuan Lei and I walked in. It didn't matter what we saw. There were countless coffins scattered around inside.
I took a step back in fright and patted Xuan Lei on the back.
"Go quickly, I think this is the place where the corpses of the disciples of the Chan Sect are preserved, which is also the tomb of the disciples of the Chan Sect. This is very disrespectful!"
Xuan Lei took my hand, turned around and ran forward in long strides, only hearing from behind,
Squeak—squeak—
The sound seemed like the sound of opening a door normally, but where is there any door here? I was sure it was the sound of the coffin lid being pushed open. I strode forward, but the corner of my back clothes was pulled
.How is this possible? It is possible that these corpses have become the weather.
I clasped my hands in front of my eyes and prayed,
"Amitabha, don't be surprised!"
"This is Taoism. How big are you, Amitabha!" Xuan Lei turned back and looked at me.
"Oh, that's right! Immeasurable Life Buddha, the supreme deity!"
"What did I think was wrong? It turns out that a corner of your body scraped onto the coffin."
I closed my eyes and shouted,
"Then if you don't help me pull it away, I'm almost scared to death."
Xuan Lei walked up behind me and tugged at the corner of my clothes.
"No, it can't be torn apart."
"Hurry up, hurry up."
"oh oh!"
I heard a sizzling sound and my corner was torn, and I was finally free.
"Okay, let's go!"
Just listen to the squeak--squeak--clang--
There was a sound of a wooden board falling to the ground. When I turned around, I saw that the idiot Xuan Lei had scraped his sleeves onto the wooden board. He brought the wooden board down with all his strength. The coffin was already very tattered due to its age.
and solidity are not side by side.
Xuan Lei just stood there motionless, staring blankly into the coffin. I looked at him,
"Why don't you leave? If someone finds out later, neither of us will be able to leave!"
"This...,,," Xuan Lei pointed at the coffin, unable to say a whole sentence. He seemed to be frightened.
I strode forward and took Xuan Lei's arm.
"Hurry up and leave! A person who has been dead for so long must be completely unrecognizable. Otherwise, do you think...,,?"
The skin of the person in the coffin showed no sign of decay. This is not the most bizarre thing.
The person lying inside actually had the same face as me. It should not be said that everything was the same as mine. Even the very small mole on my chin was exactly the same.
"What's going on? When did I die? Why don't even I know?"
"This is not you, but it is still you. In short, she is your previous life, maybe the previous life."
"But, I didn't become a saint!"
"I don't know this either." Xuan Lei looked at me and replied.
I walked to the coffin, lowered my head, and looked at my former body. I poked it with my finger, but I didn’t expect that it was soft and waxy and had bullets like a living person. I looked at the people in the coffin.
Dressed in red, her head is covered with various gold, silver, and jade headdresses. One of the beautiful red pieces hangs down between her eyebrows, making the person in the coffin look even more fairy-like. Her bun is pulled back loosely, and her feet are
The last pair of red shoes with golden silk threads, I don’t know what kind of material they are. These shoes are as transparent and bright as jade, and they feel smooth to the touch, as smooth as a woman’s skin. They look a bit silky but not silky.
. There seems to be a light makeup on the face, and the lip color has obviously been applied, and the red color is very gorgeous. The skin on the face is as white and tender as snow.
"Don't get so close to her!" Xuan Lei shouted.
"Why?"
"You and her share a soul. Your soul is reincarnated and your body is still there. Your soul is naturally inexplicably attracted to this body. Once she inhales the aura of your soul, she will be resurrected through it."
"Is there such a thing?"
"It's just that after resurrection, she only has a body that can walk."
"Isn't that a zombie?"
I guess people at this time still don’t know the word zombie! Well, don’t touch it if you don’t want to.
"Then why don't we close the lid of the coffin and make her feel more comfortable inside, so that she won't be bitten by mice or corroded by dust?" I looked at Xuan Lei and asked.
"Just stand aside and I'll do it! You'd better not get close to her."
Xuan Lei properly closed the coffin lid that fell on the ground.
Then he took me and we strode out of here, passed the waterfall, and came to the front of the mountain again.
I looked at Xuan Lei,
"Let's go back! Get some rest early and come out to collect the morning dew tomorrow."
Xuan Lei nodded to me, and we headed back the way we came.
When we returned to the courtyard of Taoist Ran Deng's pavilion, we saw Taoist Ran Deng and Master Tai Yi still playing chess. Xuan Lei and I walked up to them and said hello to them, and then turned around to go back to the room.
.Randeng Taoist shook the dust into his arms with one hand and turned to look at me.
"Why should we keep the sins of our past lives in this life to pay for them? Why not just be ourselves and forget about our past lives, and live a freer and happier life."
I was confused by what Rendeng Taoist said. Forget it, maybe he wasn’t talking about me!
Xuan Lei and I walked silently back to the resting room next to the pavilion.
It's already dusk now, and we just have to wait for tomorrow morning. After collecting the morning dew, we can go back to the Dragon King Temple.
