It was dark. There was no light in the dark night. Even the white of the steamed buns could not withstand the erosion of boundless darkness. Coupled with the rendering of autumn rain, the night became increasingly invisible.
If you want to reach the end, you must have a way. Lin Luo looked at the tide in front of him and shook his head helplessly at the monk behind him. The Lanhe River rises in water every year at this season. According to the folk saying, the sea god is going to find a husband for him again. The rise of water is to tell the people that they must prepare several strong men to come quickly.
After hearing Lin Luo's muttering, the monk tore a piece of chicken in his hand, rubbed the rainwater on his forehead, and couldn't tell whether it was rain or oil in his palm, so he took the steamed buns in his hand and put them straight into his mouth.
"It's so fragrant, this is the most delicious thing in the world." When Lin Luo walked to the single-plank bridge not far away, half a chicken and three white-floured buns had already entered the monk's Wudian Temple. The stream was very wide and jumped off the wood. Under it was a blue flower. Lin Luo's cloth shoes stepped into the bushes, and he felt the coldness of autumn rain. The blue flower that the monk stepped on turned purple in the night rain.
"Boy, hold on. It's raining now. Look at your slimming body. I just asked you to put on that dress and still have a stubborn mouth."
Lin Luo turned around and looked at the monk's colorful women's clothes and said, "The Buddha is really good-looking. If you wear this women's clothing, you can't tell that the Buddha is a man. After going to the underworld, perhaps the judge will be fascinated by the Buddha's beauty, and you can still be able to adapt and extend the Buddha's life for a few years."
Lanhexi was at the foot of Fengzhu Mountain, saying it was a mountain peak, but it took only a while to be at the foot of monk and Lin Luo. This was the second time the monk came to this mountain. Although he was choked by Lin Luo's words just now, he kept talking to Lin Luo on the way.
The two of them entered the Taoist temple, and the monk looked up at the plaque above his head. He sighed: "Things of the world are unpredictable. I never thought that monk, I will live all my life, but when I am at a depressed Taoist temple, I am hiding from the rain and waiting to die."
The monk jumped onto the altar, moved away the statue of Sanqing Daozun, knocked on a dark brick with his left hand, took out a package inside, and threw it to Lin Luo under the Fangzhu.
The monk watched Lin Luo count the things and took out half of the roast chicken from his arms.
"Eat, you haven't eaten for a day. I'll ask you for something before my death. I'll treat this money as a reward. Seventy percent of it will be given to you, and the remaining 30% will be given to the hero who saved me just now. He has a hard life in prison, and some money will be at least not hungry."
"Don't worry, although I don't read much, I know the principles of the saints. I'm entrusted by others to be loyal to others." Lin Luo started to tear off half of his clothes, cleaned up the wound on the monk's right shoulder again.
"This money is all my income from being a common cause in the town. The day before I was imprisoned, I put it in this Taoist temple. I thought I would never set foot anymore, thanks to you boy and that knight."
"Monkey, you don't have to thank me. I heard from the storyteller in the town that the people you have killed in the past few years are all extremely vicious people. You were imprisoned that day, and I wonder how many heroes and heroes want to save you."
The monk's face turned rosy because of his big laughter, and he suddenly coughed: "Hahaha, boy, don't stick gilds to my face. I, the monk who kills life, enters the world, not for fame or profit, but for just to prove a Buddha's heart."
Lin Luo scratched his head awkwardly, and a smile appeared on his dark-skinned face: "Monkey, do you want me to do?"
The monk raised his hand to interrupt Lin Luo's words, sat at the base of the wall, and signaled Lin Luo to sit over, "Actually, it's nothing. Although I am very skilled in martial arts, I can't beat four hands with both fists. I was captured by the Heyang County Magistrate and forced me to drink poison. I relied on my true energy to fight and suppress the poison in the fetal field, so that I can bury my body in the bamboo forest on the mountain."
When Lin Luo heard the monk's name, he changed from a bad boy to a donor, and thought that there was something big to him to do.
"That's it?"
"Hey, monk, you haven't finished speaking yet?" Lin Luo was alone, and in this dilapidated Taoist temple, he was not afraid. He watched the skin of a living person gradually turn pale. If other teenagers of the same age in the town encountered this situation, they would probably have been so scared that they were so scared that they were wet. However, Lin Luo had suffered a lot since childhood and was not unfamiliar with this dead person.
The rain outside became heavier and Lin Luo stayed at the monk and sat in a drowsy middle of the night. The silver in his arms made Lin Luo's heart beat, and he gradually gained some vitality.
The autumn sun shines through the hills and passes through the bamboo forest. The remaining half of the wisp falls on Lin Luo's head from the window lattice. Lin Luo pats his cheeks, trying to make himself more awake, and looks at the series of incredible things that happened yesterday.
Lin Luo dragged the monk's cold body to his back, walked past the threshold and walked into the bamboo forest. After walking for more than half an hour, he found a slightly flat place.
Lin Luo took off the set of women's clothes that the monk wore from the yard last night, and said to himself: "I have never seen such a monk. Before he died, he went to a brothel and a brothel. His bloody broken limbs were heard by the old madam, and the girl fainted."
The geology of this place is relatively hard, so Lin Luo had to use the hatchet he carried with him to dig slowly. After digging for more than half a day, he finally dug out a three-foot-long and half-foot-deep concave.
Lin Luo also took off the monk's underwear. The ancients said that it was safe to fall into the ground, but this body of wisp seemed a bit unethical. However, the monk was a person outside the world and could not care about so much.
There was also solidified blood on the monk's underwear. Lin Luo was afraid that the blood would attract foreign objects in the soil and erode the monk's body. Although his body was buried underground and would eventually turn into dust, Lin Luo didn't want the monk to fall into a broken body on the mountain, let alone a hand had already dropped.
"Hey, what is this?" Lin Luo touched the monk's waist and encountered a hard object.
Take out this object, and under the golden sunlight, it emits a faint green light. It is the size of a palm, square, cool and clean, and see what kind of beautiful jade texture looks like.
Lin Luo knew that this might be the monk's close friend, so he was going to put it back on the monk's waist. After all, he took the other person's money, and now he is not short of these silver and white things. The world is great, but death is great.
The autumn wind passing through the bamboo forest stirred Lin Luo's robe that was not suitable for his body, revealing several shocking whip marks on his arms. Sweat seeped into the wound, making it look a little bright red in the sun. Lin Luo panted and pushed the monk's strong body into the pit, and then covered the loess around him little by little.
How long does it take for one person to bury another?
The wind suddenly became strong. The gust of wind was mixed with a trace of murderous aura, as if even the bamboo forest was frightened, and hurriedly bent southward.
Lin Luo hugged her waist and squatted in a small pit. There was a pile of clothes next to her, and there was a person lying in the pit. Lin Luo stared blankly at the group of officials who suddenly appeared behind.
Everyone looked at each other, and a clever soldier reacted first, and stepped forward and whispered to Old Man Zhang, "Tou Lu, this is not your adopted child, why?" Old Man Zhang understood what the soldier had not said in his heart. This killing monk is a specialist in robbing the official house and is also famous in Heyang City. If he hadn't been on guard early this time, he would have really not been able to deal with this rash monk. But now
Lin Luo looked at Old Man Zhang and planned in his heart.
"Get out and go back later and get rid of you, and say, what's going on?" Captain Zhang shouted sternly.
"Last night, the adopted son had finished his food for the prisoner early, and wanted to go back to his house to rest early. He didn't want to be captured by the mad monk in the gatehouse. After the mad monk came here, he coughed up blood and died before dawn." Lin Luo thought about it, but he still felt that it was more appropriate to use the words of the nine true and one false to answer his "adoptive father". However, he erased the money that the monk gave him.
The constables stepped forward to check the body, and after they found out that they were in good condition, they reported it to the old man Zhang who was thinking.
"Zhang Tou, this monk has been dead for a long time. It must be because of the medicine given by the master. However, this monk is also a fierce man. With just one breath of true energy, he can actually go so far."
"Well, put away the criminals' belongings, take the body, and let's go back to the city." After saying that, he glared at Lin Luo fiercely and cursed loudly: "Little bastard, why are you still standing there? Take care of your skin."
Lin Luo followed everyone, and the monk hanging on the constable on the sky seemed to smile in the sun. After returning to his residence, the teenagers in the yard stopped their work and asked Lin Luo where he had been that night.
The noise of the crowd chattering was heard from Lin Luo, who was watching flowers in his dreams. The teenagers in these courtyards were picked up by Old Man Zhang from the pile of dead people. Two years ago, the mountain was drought severely in the south of the mountain. Lin Luo followed everyone along the way to Heyang, a land of fish and rice. However, the troubled times were coming, and this place was not a good place.
Night is approaching. An old man is sitting in the middle of the hall, clattering his cigarette pot in his mouth, and the long knife on the table has sheathed out. Lin Luo is standing under the hall, in the swaying candlelight, one old and one young, one standing and sitting.
a long time.
"I brought you back, not to let you cause trouble for me. I also hope that after you grow up and become a talent, I will respect my old man. I will not care about you, the senior brother, this time, and save the children below the house panic. What about the money, you keep 10% of the money. In a few months, it will be the spring exam. That little money will be your money."
Lin Luo turned back to the residence, took out the silver from the shop, and counted out 30% of it carefully. He placed the remaining silver on the table and stood back to his original place.
"It's night, I'm old and easily sleepy. I'll punish you today and I'll give you the elixir tomorrow."
Lin Luo did not sleep. He was thinking about how he could escape from the tiger's mouth. He had no money anymore. There were still some silver cakes to be given to the knight in prison. The monk was able to escape last night. The knight told the monk the tunnel he had dug for several years.
Not for money, he admires the monks who kill them, all of them are corrupt officials
Heyang is adjacent to the East China Sea, and Yangyun River flows through this county. Every year around August 15th, the river water will rise. The water rise in Lanhe River yesterday also belongs to this water system. If it is not managed, the tide will swallow up fertile fields and cause the water to flood the whole county. I don’t know when it will start, and I don’t know who said that the water rise is because the sea god is furious. Only by contributing three young men can you avoid disaster.
In the first two years, no one believed that the water was growing bigger and bigger every year. In addition, the harvest in this wealthy land was not very good for more than ten years. Since the flood flooded Heyang County ten years ago, three strong men happened to be missing in the county. Now, people can't believe it.
This year, this custom is the ninth year, and no family can bear to let their children die. In the past few years, everyone paid for it to buy some slaves from the Nanman. In the past two years, because refugees are wandering around, every family will adopt some refugees in case of needs at this time.
Lin Luo felt more restless when he thought about this. He carefully picked up his clothes, picked up his shoes, left the house, closed the hospital door, and went straight to the morgue of the county government.
Old Man Zhang saw Lin Luo's figure flashing through the window paper, knocking on the smoke pot in his hand and said, "This kid is not honest this year's offering, you have to shave this thorn head so that the remaining kids can stay at peace."
"What you said is that in another year, these more than a dozen babies will be formed into mortal weapons. You and I are both Yinshamen in the lower realm, so it is better to be careful. If the world master knows that we are so chaotic in this realm, we will probably not escape from heaven." A man hidden in the darkness was wearing a black robe, with a circle of white clouds embroidered beside his robe, and his voice was indescribable, as if the creaking sound of a knife cutting a stone.
"Oh, it's too difficult to refine this talisman weapon. I have only formed ten of them in ten years. If I can safely send these people to the gate in the lower realm this time, you and I can enter the inner door and learn the method of entering the holy. In that way, I can extend my life for several years. It's better to leave this ghost place, the spiritual energy in the lower realm is useless to you and me." Old man Zhang shook his head and sighed.
"Empress, please look at this thing?" As he said that, Old Man Zhang took out a piece of jade from his sleeve and handed it to the man in black.
The man in black looked at the object carefully and saw that the front of the object was crystal clear and green, but the word "金" with a fly-headed seal script engraved on the back. Seeing this word, the man in black suddenly looked shocked and said quickly: "Zhang Gu, where did you get this object?"
Zhang Gu was stunned by the name of the man in black. In the lower realm, they rarely called each other's names. Zhang Gu said in his heart: "The envoy, how dare you ask what this is? I am so surprised by the envoy. This object was found from a monk yesterday. This monk called himself a murderer. In the Daxia Dynasty, he slaughtered corrupt officials and robbed money. I pretended to be a wizard and used magic to subdue the monk. Otherwise, the puppet of Heyang County Magistrate would be killed by him sooner or later."
Lin Luo held the candle in both hands and searched back and forth several times, but could not find the monk's body. It was really strange that the monk's body would have to be left for at least three days before he could be thrown into the mass grave from the government. Could it be that the monk could still survive? However, on the wall of the morgue, Lin Luo saw two words in the candlelight - Taoist temple
Of course, mortals cannot be resurrected from the dead. Lin Luo thought about it over and over again, and felt that this was very strange, so he decided to go to the Taoist temple on the mountain to explore it. After sleeping for a while in the day, Lin Luo was not sleepy, but his future was not determined and he was worried about his life, so he couldn't help but walk slowly.
The rain was thick yesterday, but the moon was sparse tonight. The Taoist temple was different from the cold wind yesterday. At this time, the lights were lit and the light was extremely bright. Lin Luo was shocked and suspicious. Before he entered the door, he heard the monk laughing heartily and said, "Boy, I knew you would come again."
Lin Luo opened his mouth so much that he could swallow an egg. After a long time of a day, he didn't say a word. He was shocked and took a few steps back and said, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The monk shook his right hand and smiled, "Is it a ghost or a human? I am neither a ghost nor a human, but a person who is a transcendent. I have to thank you, a little guy, if you hadn't given me the opportunity to fulfill my long-cherished wish last night, I wouldn't have been able to break through the world." Lin Luo was confused when he heard this. Although his mind was firm and mature than that of an ordinary child, this matter was too shocking.
The monk also saw Lin Luo's doubts and said loudly: "Come on, come on. Let's sit down and listen to me slowly."
After hearing this, Lin Luo asked, "I don't believe it. What a lie that I am destined to be with you. Monks don't lie. Tell me honestly, why did you pull me up the mountain yesterday and even play a good show for me?"
"Haha, boy, I'm not a monk. Look at me wearing monk's robes, but I don't have a Buddha in my heart. So why are I a monk? Actually, I am a free monk."
After hearing this for half an hour, Lin Luo finally figured out the whole story. Although it was a bit difficult to accept, there were many bizarre things in this world. How could everything be reasonable if you were serious? Moreover, what these legendary "people" do are no longer something that ordinary people can measure. When they hear that the monk can resolve the cold poison he suffers every day, Lin Luo couldn't wait to say, "Then what do you want me again this time?"
"The Nine Yin Talisman Soldiers of Yinsha Sect are extremely vicious and vicious. They are so fed up with three years of cold poison. At this point, those who condense mortals can use magic power to refine them into puppet Talisman Soldiers. I don't know if they have Talisman Soldiers in their hands. It would be easier to deal with without this. I just need to report the old man's whereabouts to me every day, and you will do the rest as usual."
"Come on, I will remove the cold poison for you first so that you will not suffer from this torture day and night. Although the pill given to you every day can relieve the pain of cold poison, this pill is originally another poison to stimulate your body to condense. It can be said that there are many harms but no benefits."
The saint said: I am disgusted with the strange power and the gods. This theory of gods and ghosts has been around for a long time, and people in the world are greedy for life and fearful death, so they have the words of the Infinite Ghost Realm and the Pure Land.
For a secular young man like Lin Luo, he himself had longed for the first-class immortals who could fly to the sky and escape from the earth in the plays, but this was just his youthful dream. When Lin Luo saw this monk in front of him, Lin Luo could not be so calm after seeing him die but resurrected, Lin Luo could not be so calm. The distant hope began to rekindle at this time.
This is the beginning of Lin Luo's journey as a warrior. At this time, his memories became clearer, and the entanglements of his previous life seemed to gradually emerge.
