Who to look for?
Bai Ling woke up with a start.
Panting heavily, he sat up in shock.
On the right hand side, the gentle night light was dimly lit, and he touched the mineral water from the bedside table. The cap of the water bottle was open, and he guessed that the boss unscrewed it for him.He gurgled and drank half a bottle before he sobered up a lot.
The bedside LED light shows that it is already 5 in the morning, and it is almost dawn.
This is obviously a hotel, and the grade is not low, he thought uncomfortably, and troubled Mr. Xie again. I don't know how Mr. Xie came back with him unconscious.
Bai Ling lay down again, closed his eyes, those bizarre pictures repeated again and again, he was still very sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep anyway, so he got out of bed irritatedly.He was wearing a bathrobe, which should have been changed with the help of the boss. This is a big bed room, and there is no Xie Chongsen next to the bed, so it may be in the cubicle.
He took the room card and pushed open the door, probably because he slept too restlessly, and he was always uneasy. After thinking about it, he took the children's watch on the bedside table.
The corridor is very dark, only the LED number plate of each door is halfway up, and it is faintly lit.
His room is 1221, 1223 on the right and 1222 on the opposite.
So where will the boss be?
Bai Ling didn't dare to knock on the door rashly. It's immoral to disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and he felt that it was Xie Chongsen's fault, so he didn't leave a note to tell him the room number, which made him anxious to death.
He simply knocked along.
"Boom, boom..."
1223 did not make a sound for a long time, Bai Ling knocked again, and suddenly a huge roar broke out!
Bai Ling took a step back in fright, the growling sound was extremely strange, it didn't seem like a human could make it, but like a hungry vicious dog, and the foul-smelling saliva dripping between breaths could be vaguely heard.He hurriedly turned around and knocked on 1222, 1222 soon heard a rustling sound, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, when he was waiting for the hero of the world to thank the boss to pick him up, he heard the rustling sound getting closer.
How close was it, as if the source of the sound was right next to his ear.
The hairs on Bai Ling's back exploded in an instant. This strange and unhuman sound made creatures instinctively terrified.He suddenly remembered that not long ago, he had heard this voice...
Human face python?
If it wasn't for the hotel, in the silent corridor at 5 o'clock in the morning, Bai Ling would really be scared to scream.
He tried his best to cover his mouth, recalling the coping method Xie Chongsen said...
Yes, you can't turn back, you can't turn back no matter what, turning back will blow out the soul lamp on your shoulder, and the lamp will go out when you die...
He stiffened his body, pretending not to hear the voice, and forced a step forward.But there are only numbers less than 1221 in front, so he can only ring 1220 hard first, praying that this is it.
Silent.
Impossible, Bai Ling thought desperately, Boss Xie wouldn't leave him and go away by himself, the big boss must be around, and he heard him knock on the door and come out immediately.
He smashed the jar and ran forward all the way.
1219, 1218, 1217...
These rooms seemed to be empty, and there was no movement as the doors were knocked down one after another. He could only hear the muffled sound of his footsteps stepping on the soft carpet, thumping futilely on the chopping board like a dying animal.
"What are you looking for?"
A hand suddenly clamped his arm.
The big hand has great strength, but the movement is very light. The warmth of the palm is continuously transmitted through the cold shoulder.
Bai Ling turned around as if gambling, and saw Xie Chongsen with complex eyes. He seemed to be in a panic when he came out, the skirt of his bathrobe was crooked. This detail did not match his usual perfect image, and Bai Ling was moved spontaneously.
He plunged into Xie Chongsen's arms suddenly, crying: "Where did you go, you scared me to death, I couldn't find you in the middle of the night, I thought I saw a ghost again!"
Xie Chongsen gently comforted his back: "I didn't go anywhere."
"Nonsense," Bai Ling was wronged, "I woke up and I was alone on the bed, so I came out to look for you, but I was followed by a snake..."
"No," Xie Chongsen said seriously, "There is nothing behind you. I was on the balcony, and when I heard you go out, I chased you out."
Bai Ling was stunned: "There is nothing behind me? Impossible, let me tell you, there was a house that brought a dog in, and I knocked on the door and barked, which startled me; Yes, like the human-faced python we have encountered, in short, it is a walking sound like a snake... Did you really see nothing?"
Xie Chongsen nodded.He didn't say anything, but held Bai Ling's cold hand tightly, warmed it in his own, and the two went back to room 1221 together.
Bai Ling knew that he was awake just now and hadn't dreamed.
Was it auditory hallucinations, or the moment Xie Chongsen went out, all the ghosts and ghosts disappeared?No way of knowing.
The series of episodes happened too fast just now, it seemed like a few minutes passed, and it seemed that it was only a few seconds in between, and Bai Ling's memory was also blurred.
He lay down on the side of the bed where he got off just now, and Xie Chongsen slept on the sofa.
Although this is a five-star hotel, the decoration is low-key, luxurious and modern, but the sofa is just a fabric sofa for two people. You can get by with Bai Ling sleeping on it. Xie Chongsen, who is 1.9 meters tall, is too uncomfortable to look at.
Bai Ling glared at him viciously: "Come here! Sleep with me!" Knowing that Xie Chongsen intended to let him go, he threatened viciously: "You scared me just now, if you don't come to sleep with me, I won't sleep Already!"
He vaguely heard Xie Chongsen's helpless chuckle, and the man slowly sat up from the sofa and walked over.
Xie Chongsen's body smelled of pine scent, and with the majestic heat, it wrapped the cold Bai Ling in an instant.
Bai Ling blushed inexplicably, and he rubbed against the edge of the bed unobtrusively, leaving nearly four-fifths of the vacant seat for the man.He patted the soft pillow: "Go to sleep, you can still sleep for a few hours."
In the darkness, he clearly saw the soft piece of the mattress, and Xie Chongsen's tall body that gave people a sense of security cast a huge shadow, and then covered that piece, including Bai Ling.
"Why are you so far away from me? Be careful not to fall."
Bai Ling explained dryly: "I'm very cold, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health."
This is true, Bai Ling is not a living person after all, he just has a human form, without any heat.When a normal person gets closer to him, he will feel the cool air escaping from his body—the dead air.
Xie Chongsen always likes to keep his little hand in his big hand to keep warm, which makes Bai Ling always have the illusion that he still has warmth.
"It's okay," Xie Chongsen shook his head, "I'm hot, come here."
"Oh……"
After Xie Chongsen said that, Bai Ling had no choice but to move closer.He was in a mess, thinking that there was nothing to be shy about the two men, and he also felt that it was not good to be so close to a gay guy. He moved it 1cm away, and then moved it back 0.5cm secretly. I am practicing.
How could Xie Chongsen fail to realize that the child was awkward again, and suddenly he put a big hand on Bai Ling's little head, and the latter dared not move as if he was frightened.
"Go to sleep," Xie Chongsen said softly, "It's getting late."
The air was filled with the light rosin brought by Xie Chongsen, as well as his steady and long breathing.
Bai Ling listened quietly, his consciousness gradually drifting higher and farther.
On the second day, Bai Ling knew that the woman who committed suicide yesterday had been rescued. After a series of education at night, it was said that she had returned home safely, which made Bai Ling heave a sigh of relief.
But he still couldn't figure it out: "Her face, sir, have you seen it? It's just like wooden... Is she a wooden person?"
Xie Chongsen shook his head.
Bai Ling didn't know whether he meant "didn't see it" or "not a wooden dummy".
When Xie Chongsen was silent, Bai Ling always felt that he was unpredictable.What he didn't want to say, he kept silent no matter what, which made Bai Ling very uncomfortable.He himself has a temper of saying one thing and saying another. Once someone hides something from him and doesn't tell him thoroughly, he feels that he is not considered a friend.
He was irritated and annoyed for a while, and then asked: "What does she mean by what she said... Go in? In the tomb?"
He felt that he had found the key point: "Could she also be possessed by the dirty things in the tomb, tricking me into it? It's the same as pretending to be the wooden man Lin Qiming?"
Xie Chongsen suddenly stared at him closely: "What do you think? Are you going to the grave?"
"It's definitely not going down," Bai Ling said without hesitation, "I'm not stupid. In the novel, the protagonist group just goes in as soon as they are fooled. If I go in with my combat power, I'll give it away."
Bai Ling asked him again if Xie Chongsen had investigated anything after he fainted.
Xie Chongsen said that after the woman was suppressed by the police, the entire overpass was blocked.He put Bai Ling in the hotel first, and then went to the police station to follow up on the woman's situation. The woman quickly sobered up and changed her mind under the education. The trip ended at about eight o'clock in the evening. He was worried about Bai Ling, so he went back to the hotel directly.
Early the next morning, the two returned to the overpass.
Affected by public opinion, many people would rather take a detour than go to this evil place. In the morning, the crowded and noisy work place, the overpass is still deserted.
Two or three small street stall owners seized the opportunity to sell things on the bridge while the urban management was not at work.
There is an old woman who sells tenderloin sandwiches, a middle-aged woman who sells bunnies and hamsters, and an old man who sells fancy souvenirs.
This overpass is far away from the airport, but it is close to the high-speed rail station. Almost all the people who dare to cross it now are foreigners who don't know the situation.Grandpa's small souvenir business is good, just because Bai Ling and Xie Chongsen stood there for five or six minutes, no less than ten people patronized the business.
At the beginning, Bai Ling looked at everyone very seriously, feeling the "aura of heaven and earth" like Li Xuewen, and then felt the intense aroma of the tenderloin sandwich.
Xie Chongsen saw the child struggling to hold back, sighed, and took out a few tickets from his pocket: "Eat what you want."
In fact, the two had just had breakfast at the Xiaolongbao shop, and Bai Ling ate three buns alone.He was very embarrassed and wanted to save his image as a dick, wandering between image and food for a long time, grabbed the ticket and ran away.
After running two meters away, he came back obediently: "Boss, are you eating?"
Xie Chongsen shook his head amusedly: "Buy your own."
So Bai Ling, who came to investigate the case, became the one who came to support the business of the black traders on the overpass.
He bought Juhu a luxurious version of tenderloin sandwich: two slices of tenderloin, fried eggs, sweet ham, and spicy strips, almost a sesame seed cake.He was eating, and his hands were not idle. He went to the pet stand and watched the little hamster running on wheels for a long time. Xie Chongsen was very suspicious that if he had no place to raise it, he would definitely buy it.
No matter how cute the little hamster was, he couldn't keep it, Bai Ling reluctantly went to the old grandfather's souvenir shop.
The old man is very warm and hospitable. The old man who sells things all the year round is very good, and he yelled loudly: "Young man, I will give you a cheap price for whatever you want to buy!"
When Bai Ling heard "It's cheap for you", he revealed OvO!expression.
Xie Chongsen thought that when he went back, he would get a good education. It doesn't matter if he was cheated out of money. I'm afraid that someone will abduct you if you are like this.
On the old man's stall were bracelets, pendants, small wooden carvings, and porcelain vases for the children to play with.But Bai Ling has never played, he likes everything he sees, and wants to buy everything he sees.If Xie Chongsen hadn't stood there very seriously like a lookout on the border, he would have called over to be a staff officer.
After finishing the tenderloin pancake, he burped a little and hesitated while pinching the two strings of bracelets in his hands.
On the left are shimmering green emerald beads, and on the right are sea blue beads with stars and sequins; the left is elegant and grand, and the right is gorgeous and noble.
It's really hard to choose!
Seeing him, the old man wanted it all, and he flickered enthusiastically: "Ten yuan each, boy, let me count you fifteen!"
"Really?" Bai Ling thought to himself that this old man is really kind, so he took a fancy to a golden transparent one, like a cat's eye, "Then...then can I ask for three or five yuan?"
……
The old man thought to himself that I lost, and I thought you could make a fortune by looking stupid, but it turns out that you are a deep-seated bargaining talent.
The old man smiled and said, "I'm at a loss for the purchase price of five yuan! If you give you three for twenty, you can't miss it!"
Bai Ling flashed his big eyes: "I don't have twenty yuan, so take a step back, ten yuan!"
"Grandpa's business is very difficult," the old man showed a troubled expression, "How about this, little friend, I see that you and I are destined, I will give you three at fifteen, no less!"
Bai Ling pouted and stood up: "I bought it for fifteen, and my mother would definitely scold me. If I don't sell it for ten yuan, I won't give it up!"
He thought to himself that I don't even know who my mother is, so let me tell you first.
"Okay, here you go!"
The old man showed a pained expression, and waved his hand in distaste, signaling Bai Ling to take it and go quickly, so as not to shake him around and provoke him.
Bai Ling won the first bargaining battle, and the happiness he gained in his heart was far more than twice that of the things he bought.
No wonder Brother Xuewen likes to bargain for everything!Bargain shopping is a great way to relieve stress!
Bai Ling joyfully put the three glittering bracelets on his hand, feeling very happy in his heart, he didn't feel that the color scheme was weird and straight.
He caught a glimpse of several small wooden sculptures in the corner of the old man's stall. There are several famous temples in Xuxuan City. The small wooden sculptures include Buddha statues, Bodhisattvas, and some with hideous faces that cannot be named.
He picked up one with interest. The small wooden carving was not as big as the palm of his hand, and the carving was simple, but the facial expression was vivid and lifelike, with angry eyes and roaring like a king kong; three eyes and eight arms, the right hand held a bell, arrows and a long sword; Hold high the three-pronged halberd, strange bow and chain rope; the two hands without weapons are double orchid fingers, and the little fingers are hooked together.
The craftsmen are obviously used to assembly line manufacturing, and the simple carvings grasp the essence of lines and are lifelike. Bai Ling couldn't help but ask, "How much is this?"
The old man glanced at it casually: "That's worthless, you can take it if you like."
A few wood carvings were randomly piled up in the corner, and they were still dusty. It seemed that they could not be sold for a long time.
Also, tourists who want to buy religious souvenirs buy them in temples. They feel that they have been opened up there and are more spiritual, so naturally the roadside stalls cannot be sold.
Bai Ling thanked him sweetly, he had to walk away when he got a bargain, and bought two skewers of grilled squid from the new stall, and went to Mr. Xie to please him.
"Boss, I'll eat it for you."
The big squid exuded the aroma of sauce and cumin, and it was oily. Xie Chongsen would not have glanced at it before, but he couldn't help but take it from Bai Ling's bright eyes.
Unexpectedly, it is very fragrant.
The grilled crispy squid meat is fresh and mellow, and the sweet sauce and cumin intensify the aroma of seafood.
Seeing Xie Chongsen's relaxed expression, Bai Ling smiled happily: "Isn't it delicious!"
"Ah."
Bai Ling raised his wrist obediently again: "I bought it, does it look good?"
Emerald green, sea blue, and transparent gold, the three colors were randomly mixed together. Xie Chongsen suddenly remembered that when Xie Yihai was three years old, he also liked to buy shiny things. Hit downstairs and scolded him for being playful.
He softened his tone: "It looks good, it suits you."
Bai Ling took out a small wooden carving from his pocket as if offering a treasure again: "Boss, what kind of Buddha is this, it looks so amazing."
Xie Chongsen took over the woodcarving, and the angry King Kong with copper bell eyes reflected the luster of killing under the sunlight.
His thumb twitched the double orchid fingers with strange handprints: "Jing San Shi Ming Wang. One of the five Ming Kings in Buddhism, he can subdue all living beings of the third world, that is, past, present, and future greed, anger, and ignorance, so it is called Jiang San Shi He and Fudo Mingwang have the same wrathful appearance, the latter can cut off all evil spirits; the former can cut off all karma. In the northwest, there are many monks who have entered the Tao by killing people to practice the Mingwang method."
"It's amazing!" Bai Ling couldn't put it down and looked at it over and over again, "If I take him, can it protect me from having nightmares?"
Xie Chongsen really wanted to say, what you have in your hands is just a modern handicraft with no magic power, but he nodded: "Take it with you."
The wrathful Buddha with its teeth and claws stomped on two heads. Xie Chongsen said that it was the Dazizaitian couple, namely Moxi (xi) Shura and Umofei, expressing the meaning of eliminating karma, demons and great troubles in the world.
Bai Ling didn't understand: "Da Zi Zai Tian, I know, the Hindu Shiva, isn't he a high status? Can he be stepped on?"
"In Hinduism, Shiva is the founding god of the universe, the lord of the three thousand realms, that is, the Allah of the Form Realm; after being incorporated into Buddhism, the Form Realm is just a large plane of the planes," Xie Chongsen patiently explained, "Religion and Religion I always love to make you inferior and I am superior, and I am true to you; different geographical locations and cultural origins have different levels of belief. Christianity believes that God is the only true God, and the only true God in Eastern European Christianity believes that 'the title The snake is the border and limit of the entire material world, and God is only his spokesperson... Ouroboros entered Hinduism and South America, and gave birth to different status.”
Bai Ling was dizzy: "So...there are different expressions of the same god under different observation points? For example, when I am in an island country, the flood god is an evil god; in an inland country, the flood god is a lucky god?"
Bai Ling's understanding was still a bit off, but it was almost the same.
Xie Chongsen's point of view is the theory of minority factions in religious culture: All religions describe the same location and different gods, but they are all one. There are only deviations in the image, but when we go back to the observed events and time, we can find common ground.
Bai Ling couldn't put it down even more for the little woodcarving: "My King Jiang III is the strongest! Not only manages one plane, but also the entire universe and the world!"
His expression and tone are very similar to those of elementary school students who get the ultimate weapon with a drop rate of 0.1% in a game.
He touched the rough little orchid finger carved in wood, and suddenly fell silent.
The sun is not so hot yet, it's just dazzling golden, like fried soft cheese pancakes.And the autumn rain in the distant city of Yanjing should be dripping now.
He raised his head, met Xie Chongsen's eyes with a melancholy stare at him: "Boss... Will nothing happen if you enter that tomb?"
Xie Chongsen reassured him in a low voice: "No."
"Don't fool me," Bai Ling lowered his head uneasily, "I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. But when I think of Lin Mingwan, who is about to die, and how many people who jumped off the building will die in the future, I feel uncomfortable."
"I'm not fooling you," Xie Chongsen patted his head patiently. "You should trust me more. You always say that good friends should trust each other, but you can't do it."
"It's not that I don't trust you," Bai Ling stammered in embarrassment, "I'm afraid something will happen to you. I remember clearly, the first time I saw you, you fell on my grave bag, and something happened So much blood..."
He closed his eyes, the red blood bubbling in the dark cemetery still hurt his eyes.
"That time was an accident," Xie Chongsen said in a deep voice, "My injury was caused by human factors."
He added: "Then, I need you to accompany me even more. Xuewen and Haizi are not capable enough. If I were alone, I would not be able to take care of everything. It is because of you and your help that I can be confident. "
Bai Ling's heart was touched.
He raised his head anxiously, and tried to find himself in Xie Chongsen's eyes. He looked at the shrunken and ignorant self, and felt that what Xie Chongsen said was true, and he needed him very much——
That's great.
Bai Ling held the small wooden sculpture tightly, and the small weapon in the small Buddha statue's hand stabbed his palm with pain, but he didn't notice it at all: "I want to go to the grave with you!"
Just leave as soon as you say, when passing by the old man, the old man still raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's go?"
At this moment, the traffic was less, and the old man squatted on the small bench and fell asleep. Bai Ling was surprised that he felt it, and turned his head and smiled: "Yeah."
It's just that the old man who looked back didn't even smile at all. His slender old face stared at Bai Ling expressionlessly, as if he wanted to catch up and say something.
Bai Ling's back felt cold when he was watched, he subconsciously squeezed Xie Chongsen's hand tightly, but the grandfather smiled enthusiastically again, Xie Chongsen stopped in confusion: "Huh?"
"It's okay..." Bai Ling rubbed his eyes, "I saw it wrong."
Fortunately, as soon as October passed and November was approaching, air tickets were very easy to buy. In the afternoon, the two took a flight to Shenqing City, a city on the border between Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia.
The Great Fentian Ridge is located next to Shenqing City, and most of it is located in Inner Mongolia. There are the Great Fentian Mountains, the Small Fentian Mountains, and the Small Fenxian Mountains.The mountains are not high. The highest peak, Yuqi Peak, is only 100 meters high, but it is extremely steep and rugged. The name comes from folklore. Di Jun, the son of Emperor Jun, tried to climb the peak, but fell halfway up the mountain, and turned into a little burning fairy. mountains.
The economy of Shenqing City is backward and there is no airport, so the two transferred to the nearest county town, Ricuo County, by ordinary train.
At this time, the sunset was slightly slanting, and the roads in Ricuo County were mostly dirt roads with extremely high slopes. Taking a taxi was like a small roller coaster, and Bai Ling was motion sick.The two first went to the hotels around the entrance to the ridge to stay overnight.
It is said to be a hotel, but a B&B with better conditions has a good environment, and the boss enthusiastically recommends delicious restaurants, but there are cement walls and water pipe connections everywhere, which look nondescript.
Bai Ling got motion sick and lost his appetite, he just wanted to lie down comfortably for a while.
It didn't matter whether he ate or not, so Xie Chongsen was asked to eat first, and he was left alone.Xie Chongsen insisted on waiting for him, so he said he wanted a cold drink to refresh himself, but he would faint without a cold drink, so he ordered people out indiscriminately.
Because he clearly felt...
The woodcarving is moving.
At first, he just felt that his lying position was wrong, but when he got up, he turned over, and the strange feeling continued to come.
He should be afraid, or he called Xie Chongsen, but at that moment his body was out of control, and he pulled out the wood carving.
The woodcarving didn't move anymore.
Under the poor-quality chandelier in the living room, there was a cheap and nervous white light, and the wrathful face of King Jiang III was full of shadows.
He suddenly thought, I should go.
He put King Ming III in his pocket, put on his shoes, got out of bed, and quietly opened the window facing the alley. The moonlight outside the window was just like in a dream, bright and frightening. The wind came.
He stared fixedly at the bright moonlight, and then flipped out.
Bai Ling woke up with a start.
Panting heavily, he sat up in shock.
On the right hand side, the gentle night light was dimly lit, and he touched the mineral water from the bedside table. The cap of the water bottle was open, and he guessed that the boss unscrewed it for him.He gurgled and drank half a bottle before he sobered up a lot.
The bedside LED light shows that it is already 5 in the morning, and it is almost dawn.
This is obviously a hotel, and the grade is not low, he thought uncomfortably, and troubled Mr. Xie again. I don't know how Mr. Xie came back with him unconscious.
Bai Ling lay down again, closed his eyes, those bizarre pictures repeated again and again, he was still very sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep anyway, so he got out of bed irritatedly.He was wearing a bathrobe, which should have been changed with the help of the boss. This is a big bed room, and there is no Xie Chongsen next to the bed, so it may be in the cubicle.
He took the room card and pushed open the door, probably because he slept too restlessly, and he was always uneasy. After thinking about it, he took the children's watch on the bedside table.
The corridor is very dark, only the LED number plate of each door is halfway up, and it is faintly lit.
His room is 1221, 1223 on the right and 1222 on the opposite.
So where will the boss be?
Bai Ling didn't dare to knock on the door rashly. It's immoral to disturb people's sleep in the middle of the night. The more he thought about it, the more wronged he became, and he felt that it was Xie Chongsen's fault, so he didn't leave a note to tell him the room number, which made him anxious to death.
He simply knocked along.
"Boom, boom..."
1223 did not make a sound for a long time, Bai Ling knocked again, and suddenly a huge roar broke out!
Bai Ling took a step back in fright, the growling sound was extremely strange, it didn't seem like a human could make it, but like a hungry vicious dog, and the foul-smelling saliva dripping between breaths could be vaguely heard.He hurriedly turned around and knocked on 1222, 1222 soon heard a rustling sound, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, when he was waiting for the hero of the world to thank the boss to pick him up, he heard the rustling sound getting closer.
How close was it, as if the source of the sound was right next to his ear.
The hairs on Bai Ling's back exploded in an instant. This strange and unhuman sound made creatures instinctively terrified.He suddenly remembered that not long ago, he had heard this voice...

He stiffened his body, pretending not to hear the voice, and forced a step forward.But there are only numbers less than 1221 in front, so he can only ring 1220 hard first, praying that this is it.
Silent.
Impossible, Bai Ling thought desperately, Boss Xie wouldn't leave him and go away by himself, the big boss must be around, and he heard him knock on the door and come out immediately.
He smashed the jar and ran forward all the way.
1219, 1218, 1217...
These rooms seemed to be empty, and there was no movement as the doors were knocked down one after another. He could only hear the muffled sound of his footsteps stepping on the soft carpet, thumping futilely on the chopping board like a dying animal.
"What are you looking for?"
A hand suddenly clamped his arm.
The big hand has great strength, but the movement is very light. The warmth of the palm is continuously transmitted through the cold shoulder.
Bai Ling turned around as if gambling, and saw Xie Chongsen with complex eyes. He seemed to be in a panic when he came out, the skirt of his bathrobe was crooked. This detail did not match his usual perfect image, and Bai Ling was moved spontaneously.
He plunged into Xie Chongsen's arms suddenly, crying: "Where did you go, you scared me to death, I couldn't find you in the middle of the night, I thought I saw a ghost again!"
Xie Chongsen gently comforted his back: "I didn't go anywhere."
"Nonsense," Bai Ling was wronged, "I woke up and I was alone on the bed, so I came out to look for you, but I was followed by a snake..."
"No," Xie Chongsen said seriously, "There is nothing behind you. I was on the balcony, and when I heard you go out, I chased you out."
Bai Ling was stunned: "There is nothing behind me? Impossible, let me tell you, there was a house that brought a dog in, and I knocked on the door and barked, which startled me; Yes, like the human-faced python we have encountered, in short, it is a walking sound like a snake... Did you really see nothing?"
Xie Chongsen nodded.He didn't say anything, but held Bai Ling's cold hand tightly, warmed it in his own, and the two went back to room 1221 together.
Bai Ling knew that he was awake just now and hadn't dreamed.
Was it auditory hallucinations, or the moment Xie Chongsen went out, all the ghosts and ghosts disappeared?No way of knowing.
The series of episodes happened too fast just now, it seemed like a few minutes passed, and it seemed that it was only a few seconds in between, and Bai Ling's memory was also blurred.
He lay down on the side of the bed where he got off just now, and Xie Chongsen slept on the sofa.
Although this is a five-star hotel, the decoration is low-key, luxurious and modern, but the sofa is just a fabric sofa for two people. You can get by with Bai Ling sleeping on it. Xie Chongsen, who is 1.9 meters tall, is too uncomfortable to look at.
Bai Ling glared at him viciously: "Come here! Sleep with me!" Knowing that Xie Chongsen intended to let him go, he threatened viciously: "You scared me just now, if you don't come to sleep with me, I won't sleep Already!"
He vaguely heard Xie Chongsen's helpless chuckle, and the man slowly sat up from the sofa and walked over.
Xie Chongsen's body smelled of pine scent, and with the majestic heat, it wrapped the cold Bai Ling in an instant.
Bai Ling blushed inexplicably, and he rubbed against the edge of the bed unobtrusively, leaving nearly four-fifths of the vacant seat for the man.He patted the soft pillow: "Go to sleep, you can still sleep for a few hours."
In the darkness, he clearly saw the soft piece of the mattress, and Xie Chongsen's tall body that gave people a sense of security cast a huge shadow, and then covered that piece, including Bai Ling.
"Why are you so far away from me? Be careful not to fall."
Bai Ling explained dryly: "I'm very cold, I'm afraid it will be bad for your health."
This is true, Bai Ling is not a living person after all, he just has a human form, without any heat.When a normal person gets closer to him, he will feel the cool air escaping from his body—the dead air.
Xie Chongsen always likes to keep his little hand in his big hand to keep warm, which makes Bai Ling always have the illusion that he still has warmth.
"It's okay," Xie Chongsen shook his head, "I'm hot, come here."
"Oh……"
After Xie Chongsen said that, Bai Ling had no choice but to move closer.He was in a mess, thinking that there was nothing to be shy about the two men, and he also felt that it was not good to be so close to a gay guy. He moved it 1cm away, and then moved it back 0.5cm secretly. I am practicing.
How could Xie Chongsen fail to realize that the child was awkward again, and suddenly he put a big hand on Bai Ling's little head, and the latter dared not move as if he was frightened.
"Go to sleep," Xie Chongsen said softly, "It's getting late."
The air was filled with the light rosin brought by Xie Chongsen, as well as his steady and long breathing.
Bai Ling listened quietly, his consciousness gradually drifting higher and farther.
On the second day, Bai Ling knew that the woman who committed suicide yesterday had been rescued. After a series of education at night, it was said that she had returned home safely, which made Bai Ling heave a sigh of relief.
But he still couldn't figure it out: "Her face, sir, have you seen it? It's just like wooden... Is she a wooden person?"
Xie Chongsen shook his head.
Bai Ling didn't know whether he meant "didn't see it" or "not a wooden dummy".
When Xie Chongsen was silent, Bai Ling always felt that he was unpredictable.What he didn't want to say, he kept silent no matter what, which made Bai Ling very uncomfortable.He himself has a temper of saying one thing and saying another. Once someone hides something from him and doesn't tell him thoroughly, he feels that he is not considered a friend.
He was irritated and annoyed for a while, and then asked: "What does she mean by what she said... Go in? In the tomb?"
He felt that he had found the key point: "Could she also be possessed by the dirty things in the tomb, tricking me into it? It's the same as pretending to be the wooden man Lin Qiming?"
Xie Chongsen suddenly stared at him closely: "What do you think? Are you going to the grave?"
"It's definitely not going down," Bai Ling said without hesitation, "I'm not stupid. In the novel, the protagonist group just goes in as soon as they are fooled. If I go in with my combat power, I'll give it away."
Bai Ling asked him again if Xie Chongsen had investigated anything after he fainted.
Xie Chongsen said that after the woman was suppressed by the police, the entire overpass was blocked.He put Bai Ling in the hotel first, and then went to the police station to follow up on the woman's situation. The woman quickly sobered up and changed her mind under the education. The trip ended at about eight o'clock in the evening. He was worried about Bai Ling, so he went back to the hotel directly.
Early the next morning, the two returned to the overpass.
Affected by public opinion, many people would rather take a detour than go to this evil place. In the morning, the crowded and noisy work place, the overpass is still deserted.
Two or three small street stall owners seized the opportunity to sell things on the bridge while the urban management was not at work.
There is an old woman who sells tenderloin sandwiches, a middle-aged woman who sells bunnies and hamsters, and an old man who sells fancy souvenirs.
This overpass is far away from the airport, but it is close to the high-speed rail station. Almost all the people who dare to cross it now are foreigners who don't know the situation.Grandpa's small souvenir business is good, just because Bai Ling and Xie Chongsen stood there for five or six minutes, no less than ten people patronized the business.
At the beginning, Bai Ling looked at everyone very seriously, feeling the "aura of heaven and earth" like Li Xuewen, and then felt the intense aroma of the tenderloin sandwich.
Xie Chongsen saw the child struggling to hold back, sighed, and took out a few tickets from his pocket: "Eat what you want."
In fact, the two had just had breakfast at the Xiaolongbao shop, and Bai Ling ate three buns alone.He was very embarrassed and wanted to save his image as a dick, wandering between image and food for a long time, grabbed the ticket and ran away.
After running two meters away, he came back obediently: "Boss, are you eating?"
Xie Chongsen shook his head amusedly: "Buy your own."
So Bai Ling, who came to investigate the case, became the one who came to support the business of the black traders on the overpass.
He bought Juhu a luxurious version of tenderloin sandwich: two slices of tenderloin, fried eggs, sweet ham, and spicy strips, almost a sesame seed cake.He was eating, and his hands were not idle. He went to the pet stand and watched the little hamster running on wheels for a long time. Xie Chongsen was very suspicious that if he had no place to raise it, he would definitely buy it.
No matter how cute the little hamster was, he couldn't keep it, Bai Ling reluctantly went to the old grandfather's souvenir shop.
The old man is very warm and hospitable. The old man who sells things all the year round is very good, and he yelled loudly: "Young man, I will give you a cheap price for whatever you want to buy!"
When Bai Ling heard "It's cheap for you", he revealed OvO!expression.
Xie Chongsen thought that when he went back, he would get a good education. It doesn't matter if he was cheated out of money. I'm afraid that someone will abduct you if you are like this.
On the old man's stall were bracelets, pendants, small wooden carvings, and porcelain vases for the children to play with.But Bai Ling has never played, he likes everything he sees, and wants to buy everything he sees.If Xie Chongsen hadn't stood there very seriously like a lookout on the border, he would have called over to be a staff officer.
After finishing the tenderloin pancake, he burped a little and hesitated while pinching the two strings of bracelets in his hands.
On the left are shimmering green emerald beads, and on the right are sea blue beads with stars and sequins; the left is elegant and grand, and the right is gorgeous and noble.
It's really hard to choose!
Seeing him, the old man wanted it all, and he flickered enthusiastically: "Ten yuan each, boy, let me count you fifteen!"
"Really?" Bai Ling thought to himself that this old man is really kind, so he took a fancy to a golden transparent one, like a cat's eye, "Then...then can I ask for three or five yuan?"
……
The old man thought to himself that I lost, and I thought you could make a fortune by looking stupid, but it turns out that you are a deep-seated bargaining talent.
The old man smiled and said, "I'm at a loss for the purchase price of five yuan! If you give you three for twenty, you can't miss it!"
Bai Ling flashed his big eyes: "I don't have twenty yuan, so take a step back, ten yuan!"
"Grandpa's business is very difficult," the old man showed a troubled expression, "How about this, little friend, I see that you and I are destined, I will give you three at fifteen, no less!"
Bai Ling pouted and stood up: "I bought it for fifteen, and my mother would definitely scold me. If I don't sell it for ten yuan, I won't give it up!"
He thought to himself that I don't even know who my mother is, so let me tell you first.
"Okay, here you go!"
The old man showed a pained expression, and waved his hand in distaste, signaling Bai Ling to take it and go quickly, so as not to shake him around and provoke him.
Bai Ling won the first bargaining battle, and the happiness he gained in his heart was far more than twice that of the things he bought.
No wonder Brother Xuewen likes to bargain for everything!Bargain shopping is a great way to relieve stress!
Bai Ling joyfully put the three glittering bracelets on his hand, feeling very happy in his heart, he didn't feel that the color scheme was weird and straight.
He caught a glimpse of several small wooden sculptures in the corner of the old man's stall. There are several famous temples in Xuxuan City. The small wooden sculptures include Buddha statues, Bodhisattvas, and some with hideous faces that cannot be named.
He picked up one with interest. The small wooden carving was not as big as the palm of his hand, and the carving was simple, but the facial expression was vivid and lifelike, with angry eyes and roaring like a king kong; three eyes and eight arms, the right hand held a bell, arrows and a long sword; Hold high the three-pronged halberd, strange bow and chain rope; the two hands without weapons are double orchid fingers, and the little fingers are hooked together.
The craftsmen are obviously used to assembly line manufacturing, and the simple carvings grasp the essence of lines and are lifelike. Bai Ling couldn't help but ask, "How much is this?"
The old man glanced at it casually: "That's worthless, you can take it if you like."
A few wood carvings were randomly piled up in the corner, and they were still dusty. It seemed that they could not be sold for a long time.
Also, tourists who want to buy religious souvenirs buy them in temples. They feel that they have been opened up there and are more spiritual, so naturally the roadside stalls cannot be sold.
Bai Ling thanked him sweetly, he had to walk away when he got a bargain, and bought two skewers of grilled squid from the new stall, and went to Mr. Xie to please him.
"Boss, I'll eat it for you."
The big squid exuded the aroma of sauce and cumin, and it was oily. Xie Chongsen would not have glanced at it before, but he couldn't help but take it from Bai Ling's bright eyes.
Unexpectedly, it is very fragrant.
The grilled crispy squid meat is fresh and mellow, and the sweet sauce and cumin intensify the aroma of seafood.
Seeing Xie Chongsen's relaxed expression, Bai Ling smiled happily: "Isn't it delicious!"
"Ah."
Bai Ling raised his wrist obediently again: "I bought it, does it look good?"
Emerald green, sea blue, and transparent gold, the three colors were randomly mixed together. Xie Chongsen suddenly remembered that when Xie Yihai was three years old, he also liked to buy shiny things. Hit downstairs and scolded him for being playful.
He softened his tone: "It looks good, it suits you."
Bai Ling took out a small wooden carving from his pocket as if offering a treasure again: "Boss, what kind of Buddha is this, it looks so amazing."
Xie Chongsen took over the woodcarving, and the angry King Kong with copper bell eyes reflected the luster of killing under the sunlight.
His thumb twitched the double orchid fingers with strange handprints: "Jing San Shi Ming Wang. One of the five Ming Kings in Buddhism, he can subdue all living beings of the third world, that is, past, present, and future greed, anger, and ignorance, so it is called Jiang San Shi He and Fudo Mingwang have the same wrathful appearance, the latter can cut off all evil spirits; the former can cut off all karma. In the northwest, there are many monks who have entered the Tao by killing people to practice the Mingwang method."
"It's amazing!" Bai Ling couldn't put it down and looked at it over and over again, "If I take him, can it protect me from having nightmares?"
Xie Chongsen really wanted to say, what you have in your hands is just a modern handicraft with no magic power, but he nodded: "Take it with you."
The wrathful Buddha with its teeth and claws stomped on two heads. Xie Chongsen said that it was the Dazizaitian couple, namely Moxi (xi) Shura and Umofei, expressing the meaning of eliminating karma, demons and great troubles in the world.
Bai Ling didn't understand: "Da Zi Zai Tian, I know, the Hindu Shiva, isn't he a high status? Can he be stepped on?"
"In Hinduism, Shiva is the founding god of the universe, the lord of the three thousand realms, that is, the Allah of the Form Realm; after being incorporated into Buddhism, the Form Realm is just a large plane of the planes," Xie Chongsen patiently explained, "Religion and Religion I always love to make you inferior and I am superior, and I am true to you; different geographical locations and cultural origins have different levels of belief. Christianity believes that God is the only true God, and the only true God in Eastern European Christianity believes that 'the title The snake is the border and limit of the entire material world, and God is only his spokesperson... Ouroboros entered Hinduism and South America, and gave birth to different status.”
Bai Ling was dizzy: "So...there are different expressions of the same god under different observation points? For example, when I am in an island country, the flood god is an evil god; in an inland country, the flood god is a lucky god?"
Bai Ling's understanding was still a bit off, but it was almost the same.
Xie Chongsen's point of view is the theory of minority factions in religious culture: All religions describe the same location and different gods, but they are all one. There are only deviations in the image, but when we go back to the observed events and time, we can find common ground.
Bai Ling couldn't put it down even more for the little woodcarving: "My King Jiang III is the strongest! Not only manages one plane, but also the entire universe and the world!"
His expression and tone are very similar to those of elementary school students who get the ultimate weapon with a drop rate of 0.1% in a game.
He touched the rough little orchid finger carved in wood, and suddenly fell silent.
The sun is not so hot yet, it's just dazzling golden, like fried soft cheese pancakes.And the autumn rain in the distant city of Yanjing should be dripping now.
He raised his head, met Xie Chongsen's eyes with a melancholy stare at him: "Boss... Will nothing happen if you enter that tomb?"
Xie Chongsen reassured him in a low voice: "No."
"Don't fool me," Bai Ling lowered his head uneasily, "I'm really afraid that something will happen to you. But when I think of Lin Mingwan, who is about to die, and how many people who jumped off the building will die in the future, I feel uncomfortable."
"I'm not fooling you," Xie Chongsen patted his head patiently. "You should trust me more. You always say that good friends should trust each other, but you can't do it."
"It's not that I don't trust you," Bai Ling stammered in embarrassment, "I'm afraid something will happen to you. I remember clearly, the first time I saw you, you fell on my grave bag, and something happened So much blood..."
He closed his eyes, the red blood bubbling in the dark cemetery still hurt his eyes.
"That time was an accident," Xie Chongsen said in a deep voice, "My injury was caused by human factors."
He added: "Then, I need you to accompany me even more. Xuewen and Haizi are not capable enough. If I were alone, I would not be able to take care of everything. It is because of you and your help that I can be confident. "
Bai Ling's heart was touched.
He raised his head anxiously, and tried to find himself in Xie Chongsen's eyes. He looked at the shrunken and ignorant self, and felt that what Xie Chongsen said was true, and he needed him very much——
That's great.
Bai Ling held the small wooden sculpture tightly, and the small weapon in the small Buddha statue's hand stabbed his palm with pain, but he didn't notice it at all: "I want to go to the grave with you!"
Just leave as soon as you say, when passing by the old man, the old man still raised his head and said with a smile: "Let's go?"
At this moment, the traffic was less, and the old man squatted on the small bench and fell asleep. Bai Ling was surprised that he felt it, and turned his head and smiled: "Yeah."
It's just that the old man who looked back didn't even smile at all. His slender old face stared at Bai Ling expressionlessly, as if he wanted to catch up and say something.
Bai Ling's back felt cold when he was watched, he subconsciously squeezed Xie Chongsen's hand tightly, but the grandfather smiled enthusiastically again, Xie Chongsen stopped in confusion: "Huh?"
"It's okay..." Bai Ling rubbed his eyes, "I saw it wrong."
Fortunately, as soon as October passed and November was approaching, air tickets were very easy to buy. In the afternoon, the two took a flight to Shenqing City, a city on the border between Shaanxi Province and Inner Mongolia.
The Great Fentian Ridge is located next to Shenqing City, and most of it is located in Inner Mongolia. There are the Great Fentian Mountains, the Small Fentian Mountains, and the Small Fenxian Mountains.The mountains are not high. The highest peak, Yuqi Peak, is only 100 meters high, but it is extremely steep and rugged. The name comes from folklore. Di Jun, the son of Emperor Jun, tried to climb the peak, but fell halfway up the mountain, and turned into a little burning fairy. mountains.
The economy of Shenqing City is backward and there is no airport, so the two transferred to the nearest county town, Ricuo County, by ordinary train.
At this time, the sunset was slightly slanting, and the roads in Ricuo County were mostly dirt roads with extremely high slopes. Taking a taxi was like a small roller coaster, and Bai Ling was motion sick.The two first went to the hotels around the entrance to the ridge to stay overnight.
It is said to be a hotel, but a B&B with better conditions has a good environment, and the boss enthusiastically recommends delicious restaurants, but there are cement walls and water pipe connections everywhere, which look nondescript.
Bai Ling got motion sick and lost his appetite, he just wanted to lie down comfortably for a while.
It didn't matter whether he ate or not, so Xie Chongsen was asked to eat first, and he was left alone.Xie Chongsen insisted on waiting for him, so he said he wanted a cold drink to refresh himself, but he would faint without a cold drink, so he ordered people out indiscriminately.
Because he clearly felt...
The woodcarving is moving.
At first, he just felt that his lying position was wrong, but when he got up, he turned over, and the strange feeling continued to come.
He should be afraid, or he called Xie Chongsen, but at that moment his body was out of control, and he pulled out the wood carving.
The woodcarving didn't move anymore.
Under the poor-quality chandelier in the living room, there was a cheap and nervous white light, and the wrathful face of King Jiang III was full of shadows.
He suddenly thought, I should go.
He put King Ming III in his pocket, put on his shoes, got out of bed, and quietly opened the window facing the alley. The moonlight outside the window was just like in a dream, bright and frightening. The wind came.
He stared fixedly at the bright moonlight, and then flipped out.
