Ruyizhai

A sudden male voice completely dispelled Wu Xingchen's idea. He withdrew his hands in a hurry, turned around to find the speaker, and said nonsense: "The painting of this orb is so realistic, I can't help but want to touch it."

The man who spoke was handsome and young. He was wearing a white jacket, black trousers, and an apron. The apron was dirty with various paints. There were many brushes in the front pocket of the apron. Spray Can, a Restoration Artisan outfit.He looked Wu Xingchen up and down, bent his eyes, and said with a smile: "Then you can't go to Cave 254. If you see Bo Xun there, you will be scared to death, and Bo Xun is very realistic."

The young man was joking, but because of his handsome face, there was a smile on his face—there was a hint of kindness in that smile, even if he said it as a joke, because of his smile, it didn’t sound meaningful Whatever is disrespectful or disrespectful, I just feel that what he says has a good and kind intention, and he is caring for others.

Wu Xingchen scratched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed by this kindness, first he thanked him, and said, "Thank you for your advice, we should not visit Cave 254..." He glanced at the restoration craftsman , asked: "Are you a restoration craftsman here?"

Although the young man is dressed as a craftsman, except for his benevolent temperament, he can't find the rigor and meticulousness of a restoration craftsman, so Wu Xingchen has doubts in his heart. Now he is carrying two arrest warrants. Everyone has to be careful.Thinking of his own situation, Wu Xingchen couldn't help touching Pharaoh's face.

The restoration craftsman asked back: "Are you a tourist?"

Wu Xingchen smiled, the restoration craftsman didn't answer his question directly, new humans are not good at talking, or they can't tell lies, lies damage reputation, and also produce feelings of guilt, now Wu Xingchen can casually talk about a few things. To put it bluntly, in the writer's words, it's because his reputation has "fallen to the bottom" and he doesn't care anymore. As for the guilt, he is full of urgency to find Ruyizhai, and he can't find the loss of Ruyizhai. What guilt can I let go of?Wu Xingchen looked at the kind restoration craftsman again, and became more and more confused about his identity. He was so flustered that he didn't want to stay here any longer. He signaled to the restoration craftsman and walked out of Cave 249, but the restoration craftsman followed him .

Wu Xingchen heard footsteps behind him, turned around, saw the restoration craftsman, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The restoration craftsman said, "Which direction are you going?"

Wu Xingchen pointed to the front and said, "321."

The restoration craftsman nodded, and when he approached the bifurcation of the road leading to Cave 321 and Cave 257, Wu Xingchen stopped, squatted down, and pretended to straighten his trouser legs.The restoration craftsman went straight to Cave 321.After he walked far away, Wu Xingchen got up and walked towards the fork in the road leading to Cave 257.When he arrived at Cave 257, he glanced at a Shiva-style column in the center of the cave, full of the style of the Guishuang Dynasty. Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted the restoration craftsman. Wu Xingchen frowned, thought for a while, and went behind the column , waiting there, looking at the shadow on the ground.His own shadow crouched in the shadow of the pillar, and the restorer's shadow approached slowly.It was getting closer and closer, and when his shadow was about to melt into the shadow of the pillar, Wu Xingchen strode out, grabbed the restorer by the collar, cornered him, and asked him, "Who are you?" who?"

He made a gesture of a bird spreading its wings and flying, and a big black bird flew over the wall painted with the legend of the Nine-Colored Deer, hovering over the heads of the restoration craftsmen.

Restorer says: "A Restorer."

Wu Xingchen said: "The restoration work here was completed as early as the 26th century!"

The restoration craftsman said: "Five centuries have passed, and the protective film in some places needs to be replaced." He glanced at the mural and said, "Look at the gold leaf on the nine-colored deer over there. The picture is not coherent."

Wu Xingchen didn't look away, stared at the restoration craftsman, and said: "You went to 321, why are you here again, are you following me? Are you a policeman? Where are your colleagues? Where do you start? Follow me? New York?"

The restoration craftsman smiled, and said in a low voice, "Sir, it seems that you don't need to go to 254 to see Bo Xun. I'll give you something."

The restoration craftsman raised his hands and signaled, "It's in the front pocket, feel for it."

"What do you want to say?" Wu Xingchen said, "Don't beat around the bush! Answer my question!"

He is really tired of the newcomers' way of communicating like charades!

The restoration craftsman said: "Sir, have you heard of a treasured mirror magic weapon of King Vimazhitara Asura?"

Wu Xingchen took a quick breath and said, "You mean the fractal mirror?"

The restoration craftsman's eyes lit up: "Have you heard of it?"

Wu Xingchen lowered his voice: "Although I have never seen this magic weapon in Buddhist scriptures, but..."

"But have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Wu Xingchen was stunned, in a trance, grasping the restoration craftsman's hands with even greater strength: "Who are you...?"

The restoration craftsman looked around, made a silent gesture, and whispered: "Shh, don't let the eyes and ears of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in this cave hear you, come here."

Wu Xingchen didn't trust the restoration craftsman any more, but when he thought of the fractal mirror, what happened beyond the Six Realms, and Ruyizhai, he still let go of him.The restoration craftsman smiled slightly, and walked out of the cave. Before going out, he took out two things from his front pocket. One was stuffed into Wu Xingchen. It was a mirror, and the other was a scraper. He scraped a Heavenly King's calf with the scraper.A piece of putty fell to the ground.

Wu Xingchen was puzzled: "Why?"

"This is for the craftsmen who restore the stone statues to have something to do." The restoration craftsman said, "The protective film can only protect the mural statues from damage from humidity and light."

Wu Xingchen understood: "Could it be that those gold leafs were also scraped off? To give the painter something to do?"

The restoration craftsman turned his head and smiled at him, hunched over and walked in the aisle. The aisle was five meters high. The restoration craftsman was clearly only 1.8 meters high. I really don’t know why he was bent. Waisted.Not to mention for some reason, Wu Xingchen bent down and walked after following the restoration craftsman.He asked the restoration craftsman: "Where are you taking me?" He looked at the mirror in his hand—an oval shape, ordinary, and the mirror reflected a brown-skinned Egyptian face with a high nose and deep eyes, and Wu Xingchen said again : "This is just an ordinary mirror."

He turned the mirror over and looked at it. It was still a mirror on the back, and the face of Ramses III was still reflected.Ramses III wrinkled his nose and wrinkled his face, half puzzled and half melancholy in his eyes.Wu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, leaned closer to the mirror and looked again, he had never seen such dark, confused eyes, it seemed that there was a thick fog in his eyes, his eyes were suffering from severe drought, and he breathed desperately on the cracked ground As a result, the humid air could not infiltrate their long-disabled lungs.

Wu Xingchen couldn't believe it was his eyes.But he couldn't remember the last time he saw his eyes in the mirror, and what kind of state those eyes showed.He, like all new humans, rarely looks in the mirror and rarely sees it.

The restoration craftsman said: "There is a Buddhist cave that suddenly appeared ten years ago."

Wu Xingchen's heart beat faster, put away the mirror, caught up with the restoration craftsman, and asked, "Have you seen a man in white clothes here?"

The restoration craftsman tugged on his collar and looked at Wu Xingchen. Ramses III was also wearing white clothes. Wu Xingchen was embarrassed for a moment, and quickly added: "He is still very beautiful."

The restoration craftsman continued to walk in the aisle bent over, like a person bent under a heavy load, he said: "Well, you come to find a beautiful person in white clothes."

Wu Xingchen said: "Have you seen it? Ruyizhai is here?"

"You came to see Ruyi Zhai."

"You know him??" Wu Xingchen's excitement was beyond words.

"Oh no."

But this is just a general tone of communication for new humans: affirm each other.Wu Xingchen lowered his head in frustration, and the restoration craftsman asked him, "Is he dead?"

Wu Xingchen shook his head: "Why do you ask that?"

"People who come here looking for people are usually looking for dead people."

"They came to find the souls of the dead?"

"Do you believe that man has a soul?"

"Of course! Perhaps what you want to ask me is, do you believe that the soul will stay in the world after death?" "Then do you believe that the soul will stay in the world after death?"

Wu Xingchen looked around, and there were still only the two of them in the passage.He said: "No, I don't believe it. After a person dies, the soul will die with him. The body and the soul are mutually accomplished, but some people believe that the soul of a person will reincarnate and look for the next suitable body... But if according to this In other words, we are all copies of people from thousands or hundreds of years ago, except for the difference in appearance, don’t we all remain the same?”

"Do you think people today have changed compared to people thousands or hundreds of years ago?"

"Of course, physical diseases are almost gone, which means that mental diseases have gradually disappeared, and people have become healthier." Wu Xingchen asked: "The people you mentioned who came to find the dead, they found Is there something you're looking for?"

The restoration craftsman smiled, and when he passed Cave 272, he stabbed the calf of a heavenly king dressed in a prosperous Tang Dynasty, and some colored clay fell to the ground.He said: "They all went to Universal Studios in the end. The soul they want to find is not here. There is only time within reach."

They came to Cave 332. The restoration craftsman walked in, and Wu Xingchen followed. He found that in the picture of fifty Bodhisattvas on the east wall, there were lotus flowers under the lotus seat of the Bodhisattva. There was a lotus petal missing from the lotus seat of the Bodhisattva. , Wu Xingchen asked: "Why is there a petal missing here? Who dropped it?"

The restoration craftsman couldn't answer, but Wu Xingchen vaguely had an answer. He looked around, the Bodhisattva on the wall was so dazzling, the paint on the wall was so bright and colorful, lively, it seemed that time had never passed here, Everything here seems to have been perfectly sealed after the last strokes of those unknown painters.

Not a single speck of white can be seen on this wall.

Ruyizhai is not here.

A burst of disgust suddenly rose in Wu Xingchen's heart.He sat on the ground and said, "Maybe there is nothing beautiful in the world, only time is beautiful."

"I felt like I might never find him," he said.

He is hungry again.The feeling of hunger, the feeling of exhaustion came again.He looked up, looked at the Buddha on the wall, the lotus on the wall, the people enshrined in the lotus pond, and all kinds of treasures enshrined by devout men and women. I'm so far away..."

He was confused: "Why is this?"

The restoration craftsman didn't say anything, but just brushed a stroke on the wall with a brush. In an instant, the Buddha's fair skin turned yellow, his black hair faded to light gray, and the clothes on his body were scattered and dilapidated.The Buddha lost his brilliance, but he still smiled, and the smile became deeper.

A precious orb slowly rises from the lotus pond.

The orb is as small as a freshwater pearl, dripping and round, and the orb is so big that it can hold a Ruyi Zhai curled up.Wu Xingchen opened his eyes wide, stretched out his hand to grab the orb, and hit the wall without grabbing the orb. When he was drowsy, he was supported by a restoration craftsman and brought him into another Buddhist cave, where he was arranged to sit down and rest.Wu Xingchen was still dizzy, only felt that a beautiful person flew down from the algae well on the top of the Buddhist cave, he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, and flew to him, singing and dancing.

Wu Xingchen said: "Who are you? Am I dreaming?"

Restoration craftsmen were nowhere to be seen.The beauty said: "Aren't you hungry? Father went to get you something to eat."

"Father?" Wu Xingchen said, "Thank you so much." Immediately, he felt goosebumps all over his body, and became more sober: "I never told him that I was hungry!"

The beauty approached him, and Wu Xingchen could see the beauty's appearance clearly. It looked like Ruyizhai, but it was far different from his expression and demeanor. The beauty put her arms around his neck, and Qian asked him with a smile: "If you have someone else in your heart, just treat the person in front of you as the person in your heart. Do a happy thing. Life is not just about running for happiness." Did you come?"

Wu Xingchen hid to the side, and somehow the mirror that the restorer gave him fell to the ground. He hurried to pick it up, saying: "This is not suitable, it is not suitable."

The beauty didn't say a word, Wu Xingchen looked up and saw Ruyizhai sitting there, not only in appearance, but also in spirit.A wishful vegetarian from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, sat in front of Wu Xingchen.Ruyi Zhai asked him: "To live with you forever, do you want to?"

"Live a lifetime of loving each other, do you think it's okay?"

I really want to nod, I really want to say yes.

Watchman.Hiroki knocked.

Ruyi got up and walked towards him.Wu Xingchen trembled, unable to stand still, and said in his mouth: "You are wearing his skin!"

Ruyizhai smiled, stretched out his hand to peel off the Pharaoh's skin, Wu Xingchen panicked, as if the softest and most vulnerable part was exposed.Ruyizhai said, "Aren't you wearing someone else's skin?"

Wu Xingchen was so angry that he wanted to peel off his skin. He stretched out his hand and touched Ruyizhai's face. No matter how he peeled it off, he couldn't peel it off. This is Ruyizhai!He was born that way!

jingle.

The copper bell rang twice.

This is Maggie!

Wu Xingchen took off Ruyizhai's clothes, and under the white clothes was a snow-white body.

Is it really Ruyi Zhai?

Wu Xingchen fell to the ground, his heart was in turmoil, the person he was looking for was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to admit it, what was he afraid of?He should hold him, kiss him, love him!Wu Xingchen hurriedly hugged Ruyizhai, and the two kissed, inseparable, tender and sweet, Wu Xingchen was very happy, grabbed Ruyizhai, kissed his ear, his face, Ruyizhai Also very happy, from time to time issued a satisfied admiration.Two-phase affection, even those asuras and bodhisattvas on the wall seemed to be infected by their affection, shaking their bodies.

The stories painted on the wall of this Buddhist cave are the stories of the six worlds and beyond. On the wall near them, a group of men and women surrounded the naga cicadas, entangled with each other, their flesh wrapped around their flesh, like snow-white flesh worms.Wu Xingchen glanced at it, shuddered, quickly looked away, continued to kiss Ruyizhai intently, and said in his heart, we are not the same as those who are so open-eyed, I love Ruyizhai, Ruyizhai He also loves me, we are...

Wu Xingchen stopped his movements suddenly, does Ruyizhai love him?

No, he doesn't love him.

Wu Xingchen suddenly calmed down, lowered his head, and caught a glimpse of the mirror not far away.The mirror reflected Ruyi Zhai who was coming up, and the passion and love that he wanted to see on his face, but he had never seen before.

Wu Xingchen crawled over and punched the mirror, the mirror shattered, Ruyizhai shouted, Wu Xingchen looked back, Ruyizhai turned into a pile of bones.At this time, the restoration craftsman came in from the outside, holding roast chicken and duck in his hands, a bag of fresh melons and fruits hanging on his shoulders, and wine in his hand, and a luminous cup. Seeing Wu Xingchen, he hurriedly stepped forward to care :"what happened to your hand?"

Wu Xingchen picked up a shard of mirror, pressed it against his neck, and asked, "Who are you?"

The restoration craftsman said: "Could it be that you met a witch?" He looked at Wu Xingchen, "Ah, you are the person on the mural..."

Wu Xingchen touched his face, his Egyptian skin was piled up with the white bones.He continued to ask: "Witch? What witch?"

The restoration craftsman pointed to the Jia Chan on the wall: "This is the follower of the witch who was born to King Asura and the daughter of Bo Xun! These people have harmed so many people here!"

"What do you mean?"

The restoration craftsman said: "This witch practices evil methods in order to induce people to degenerate, and the degeneration of others can nourish her soul!"

Wu Xingchen said: "How is this possible!"

The restoration craftsman said: "Why is this impossible? Some people believe in reincarnation, so don't some people believe that seducing people to degenerate can nourish their souls? Besides, people on the murals can walk off the murals..." He Rolling his eyes, "Is this person your ancestor?"

When the restoration craftsman looked at him, his eyes were full of speculation. Wu Xingchen was also dubious about him. He said, "Then what kind of trick is this white bone? And she became..." Wu Xingchen swallowed, not waiting for him After finishing speaking, the restoration craftsman pointed to the mirror on the ground and said, "Did you break the mirror?"

As he spoke, he put down the food and packed up the mirror fragments.Wu Xingchen looked at the food all over the floor, moved his index finger, grabbed the roast chicken and bit off a chicken leg, grabbed a peach, took a big bite, and looked at the restoration craftsman.A fractal mirror on the mural behind him suddenly lit up, illuminating Wu Xingchen, showing his distressed appearance.Wu Xingchen turned his head away and didn't know that there was still the figure of the fractal mirror on the other wall - it was held in the hands of Medicine Master Bodhisattva, and the mirror was still shining!Looking elsewhere, he still saw the precious mirror, and he still saw himself in a state of embarrassment. Suddenly, a dozen of Wu Xingchen who were in a state of embarrassment surrounded him, as if they were laughing at him, as if they were mocking him.Wu Xingchen couldn't bear it anymore, rushed over, punched the mural, and with this punch, the mural shattered, revealing the turquoise background, and it looked like something was painted - there was another mural under the mural!

Wu Xingchen's hairs stood on end, but he was curious. He swallowed the food in his mouth, and peeled off the mural on the top floor. He saw that the mural on the top was the Buddha practicing under the bodhi tree. Bo Xun sent his two daughters Came to seduce the Buddha, and the Buddha saw through the two of them, and they immediately became old and ugly.The Buddha descended from the devil.

Wu Xingchen hurriedly called out to the restoration craftsman: "Look!"

The restoration craftsman came over, and the two huddled together. Behind Wu Xingchen, he touched the mural of the story of conquest of demons, and the mural of the story of conquest of demons was also broken.It was dark behind the wall, and some light could be seen vaguely.The wall is like a crack.

The restoration craftsman murmured: "This place... can't go... can't go... go in, everything is over... it's over..."

Wu Xingchen asked him: "Do you know where it is?"

The restoration craftsman kept shaking his head and kept stepping back.

Wu Xingchen stared at the darkness.He thought of the dream he had had.The black dog stood in front of the black cave, and he followed the dog into the cave, but he couldn't remember what was in the cave.he does not know.

Wu Xingchen pushed aside the wall and got into the darkness.

After he entered, he saw Ruyi Zhai, half of his face was covered with light, and the other half was hidden in darkness.

Ruyizhai also saw him, and got out of the darkness, his whole body was full of light.He was very surprised: "How did you find this place?" He then added, "I want to give you a new look." His tone was not without sarcasm.

This is Ruyi Zhai as if it were fake.Wu Xingchen laughed and wiped his hands: "Where is this place?"

Ruyi Zhai seemed a little surprised by his reaction. He didn't answer immediately, but just looked at him up and down, then pointed behind him after a while, and replied: "This is the gap."

"What gap?"

"The gap between the books."
