Ring of Seven [Online Version]
Chapter 17 Breaking the Temple in the Rain
It was almost ten o'clock when Fat San arrived at Chen Hao's house, there was a traffic jam on the road, and the distance was very long.There was a lot of delay.As soon as he entered the room, he felt three pairs of complicated eyes staring at the novel.Suddenly he also felt an unbearable strange mood.
The four of them didn't say much, they just greeted each other with their eyes, feeling a bit like drug addicts, they only need to make a gesture, and the same kind will know that he is borrowing a syringe.
Zhou Jue flipped through the book again, and the rough texture and the faint smell of blood began to spread again, just like opening a miniature gas tank, and the gas flowed out bit by bit.
The story continues grotesquely:
Republic of China:
In the end, Lin Xu and Cuiniang moved forward almost like the zombies by instinct.But Lin Xu knew very well in his heart that as soon as he delivered the things to that place, Cui Niang would meet those so-called people who would reconcile, and he would be able to take the burden off his shoulders.Thinking of this, he actually had a slight hesitation in his heart, he didn't know if he would meet Cuiniang again in the future.What kind of occasion will I meet her, and will China get better at that time.At least you can take her to stroll along the Qinhuai River when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming...
But this was just a passing thought, Lin Xu didn't have the physical strength to dream, he had to take this woman to a place he had never been to, and meet a group of people he didn't know the details of.
Along the way, they always walked along the most desolate places to avoid the flames of war.Fortunately, they had a gun with some bullets in it. Lin Xu was sure to kill a wolf, but he didn't have the confidence to save their lives from a row of devils.They seldom eat, and if they are really hungry, they will catch some small animals. Animals are like thieves in winter.But their luck was good. On the way they caught a wild boar-like animal, and they might be alone.Anyway it got the two hungry refugees down.
That night, the winter night began to rain heavily again.The south is different from the north. It is not easy to snow when it is cold, and it is extremely easy to rain.There are also ice particles caught in the rain, which is very painful when hit on the face.
Lin Xu wiped his face and said, "We can't go anymore, let's find a place to hide and leave during the day."
Cuiniang gritted her teeth and said, "No, we're almost there, just a little short. There's a ruined temple ahead, let's go there first."
Lin Xu shook his head, he was completely out of touch with this woman, but the rain in the sky seemed to warn Lin Xu not to move forward again, and the rain intensified violently.Cuiniang looked up at the sky, her eyes seemed to be begging for something, she silently looked at the dark cloud-covered night sky, the only light was the flashlight in Lin Xu's hand, but the light began to dim.
After running around in the storm for several hours, Cuiniang took Lin Xu to hide in that unknown small temple.After getting into the temple, they took a heavy breath. As soon as their tense nerves relaxed, they felt cold, an unbearable cold.
Cuiniang's lips were already purple from the cold, she covered her chin to keep her mouth from shaking too much.Lin Xu immediately searched for all the things that could be burned. He first set fire to the cloth, and then chopped off a low stool as firewood.
Cuiniang looked a little lost, and Lin Xu felt that she might have caught a cold.Sure enough, Cui Niang started to sneeze one after another, and her body shook even more violently. He quickly took out a few cold medicines from the medicine box and told Cui Niang to eat them quickly, and then he gave Cui Niang a baby alone. He built a fire, and made a curtain out of rags and said, "Miss Cui Niang, you have to take off your clothes and dry them, otherwise you will catch a cold. Then you won't be able to travel."
Cuiniang didn't respond, Lin Xu shook her hands, Cuiniang nodded unconsciously, she stood up unsteadily, got into the curtain, and began to undress.Lin Xu stood guard at the door. He was afraid of the cold wind coming in, so he erected the door panel that had fallen to the side.
The rain outside was hitting the door panel, and the sound seemed like someone was trying their best not to hit the door panel.Lin Xu felt his head start to swell, and he knew that he was almost reaching his limit.Cuiniang is on the other side of the curtain, and he can see Cuiniang's shadow on the wall from this side.The woman's figure is very good. Although she feels a little thin, the line of her neck is very beautiful.Cuiniang crouched by the fire with her back folded, as if secretly crying again.
Lin Xu felt a little obscene, but he thought it was because of dizziness, Cui Niang didn't speak, and he didn't have the strength to talk to him.Gradually, Lin Xu felt that his body began to sink, as if his soul began to descend.
He first felt cold, and secondly felt his body become hard and heavy.He was afraid that he would just fall asleep like this and maybe die.So he tried desperately to concentrate himself.He bit his tongue and clamped his nails on his arm.
But he still fell asleep, and he entered a dream in which there was only one spot of light besides the darkness.Lin Xu approached that inexplicable and mysterious light spot.He discovered that the point of light was a candle—a candle that was burning out.
In the darkness, there was only one candle.Lin Xu picked it up, the candle was not warm at all.It seems that the flame is also cold.
He began to look, but it was still dark where the light fell, and he began to walk forward with the candle, but found that he could see nothing but the light of the candle.His eyes widened and he wanted to touch his surroundings. He walked four or five steps and felt as if he had come to an end.He wanted to touch with his hands, to be sure by perception.He stretched out his hand into the darkness suspiciously.After touching it, he found that what he touched was actually...a large handful of black hair!The hair hangs down like a curtain, enveloping this weird space.And Lin Xu is in the center of the black hair.
At this moment, the candle in his hand snorted and went out.
His hair began to tremble and made rustling noises. Lin Xu could only tightly hold the candle in his hand. At this time, he found that besides his hand, there was another hand covering his hand, holding the candle together. Extinguished candles.That hand was obviously not human, and Lin Xu's scalp was numb due to the coldness.He staggered back in fright, but only now did he realize that those hairs had moved closer to him, and this hand was protruding from those hairs.He immediately wanted to slap that hand, as if feeling Lin Xu's attacking consciousness, that hand retracted into his hair in the next second.Lin Xu kept turning his body, wary of the hand in the black hair.
With only darkness left around.Lin Xu's forehead was covered with sweat, and he could only tell by his voice.He told himself he had to wake up.This dream cannot be repeated.The hair was still rustling harshly, and then he felt another person approaching him.He instinctively stretched out his hand to resist, and when he touched the person's face, he felt that the person's face was covered with liquid, whether it was blood or tears.Because he can't see it.
Then he felt that there was a person leaning against him behind him, and that person stretched out his hands from behind him, and slowly placed them on Lin Xu's eyes.Lin Xu only heard a voice that didn't sound like a human being at all. He felt his hair start to twitch uncomfortably again, and Lin Xu's range of movement became less and less. It was very difficult for him to even turn around in the end.He understood, and the hair began to surround him.He felt it was difficult to breathe, as if he was getting tangled in the hair.
He began to feel anxious, he knew it was a dream, but when will he wake up from this dream?That's the scariest thing, you know it's unreal, but you can't shake it off.
Then Lin Xu felt these hairs began to approach his body, and he still felt that hard person behind him.He began to shout, and as a soldier, he would not shout unless he was confronted with unbearable fear.Even if a bullet passes through his brain, if discipline prevents him from screaming, he will not make a sound.But at this time, Lin Xu felt that he was back when he was a 12-year-old child. He was lost, so he started crying, he wanted to find his brother.But he couldn't find it. In the end, under extreme fear and weakness, he saw his brother holding a lantern and his hair was covered with sweat. His brother looked for him all night, and he missed him all night.
In this world, what he loves the most is his elder brother, and the last thing he wants to think of is this elder brother.Lin Xu understood that he did nothing wrong and that killing him was necessary, but there was another voice in his heart, that voice belonged to that 12-year-old child, and the grown-up Lin Xu killed the only dear one of that 12-year-old Lin Xu.This point, Lin Xu felt more painful than anyone else.
Lin Xu's nightmare began when he killed his brother, maybe when the Japanese entered China, or when he found out that his brother was treasonous.Maybe... when he realized he was alone.
Hair wrapped around him, and he couldn't breathe.The person behind him was stuck to his back like a coffin board.Wrapped in layers of hair together with him.
He heard a very familiar and gentle voice behind him: "Xu'er, don't be afraid of the dark, the lights are always on..."
In an instant, Lin Xu opened his eyes suddenly, and he found that he finally woke up from this dream.He felt that his body was still very cold, and his hands and feet were numb from the cold.He touched his forehead with a cold hand, and he realized that it was himself who caught the cold.This way is more difficult.
He started to cough a little, and found it very difficult to breathe. He is a doctor. At this time, he knew that he needed to drink water, but where did he get the water for him to drink?He thought of Cuiniang and wanted to see how she was doing.He whispered to the curtain: "Miss Cuiniang, are you awake?"
Cuiniang in the curtain did not move, but nodded slightly.Lin Xu couldn't go in, so he nodded reassuringly.Then he wanted that kettle to put some rainwater outside and boil it for drinking.When he dragged his tired body, Sheng Shui came back and found that Cuiniang was no longer behind the curtain.His heart trembled, and he quickly put down the kettle and rushed behind the curtain.Cui Niang has disappeared.He anxiously shouted Cui Niang's face, it was raining heavily outside, and only these two piles of firewood in the ruined temple barely kept the temperature.Lin Xu braced himself and rushed into the rain.But it was pitch black outside the house, let alone a person, even a group of people he might not be able to see.
When he thought of this, he found a woman's laughter coming from the darkness. This sound was like a dry roar after being hoarse. It was completely trembling from the throat. The voice was high and low, and Lin Xu couldn't be sure. source of this sound.But he couldn't find Cuiniang, just when he decided to chase after the voice, suddenly a figure came out from behind him.The speed of the movement was unbelievable. Before Lin Xu could react, he felt his body being pulled back.The whole person fell backward into the ruined temple, climbed over the threshold, and fell directly into it.
Lin Xu felt a buzzing sound in the back of his head, almost blank for a few seconds, and he struggled to get up.Looking back, I found a person wearing the same shroud and a red belt.This person is very young, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes are full of coldness.
Lin Xu got up slowly, and the boy just took a step back.He watched Lin Xu stand up awkwardly with cold eyes.Lin Xu covered his forehead and asked, "Who are you?"
There was still no trace of emotion in the boy's eyes, and he slightly opened his lips: "One of the seven."
Lin Xu finally started to cough, he knew he had a cold.The boy still looked at him expressionlessly, as if his life and death had nothing to do with him.Lin Xu had no choice but to ask again: "So... who are you? My head hurts, my head hurts."
Lin Xu got to the side of the fire, opened his medicine box, took out a medicine from it, and swallowed it without water.The young man was already sitting in front of him silently: "My name is Liu Fei. People call him Liu Ziyan."
Lin Xu didn't know Jianghu's name, so he tilted his head and waited for him to say the following, but the young man didn't understand his strange attitude and said, "Aren't you a person of the Tao?"
Lin Xu felt that the words of these people were all slang, and few of them could be understood clearly.Lin Xu tilted his head even more.This made the boy's expressionless face finally show a hint of surprise.He said: "Since you are not a person of the Tao, how could Brother Hu let you replace him?"
Lin Xu sighed helplessly, the boy's face darkened, and he said, "How do you know them?"
Lin Xu smiled wryly several times, and told the boy how he met these two people, and how Hu Zi was seriously injured and died.Liu Fei heard that Huzi was dead.Can't help but be shocked.It was the most amazed and exaggerated expression that could be expressed on his delicate face.He clenched his fist and said to himself: "Brother Hu is actually dead... I thought you were replacing Cuiniang, so... the previous agreement is true..."
Liu Fei didn't wait for Lin Xu to speak, and shook his head directly: "A person like you can't do it at all, and you can't do the next thing." We will still fail.
Lin Xubie was a little annoyed by what he said. After all, a yellow-haired boy who is several years younger than him keeps repeating that he can't do it. This is a very embarrassing thing.
Lin Xu said in a rough voice, "Why do you say that?"
Liu Fei frowned and looked at him and said, "You don't know what our group of people do?"
Lin Xu said angrily, "Didn't you fight backwards!"
Liu Fei was amused by Lin Xu, squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "No, I am a Buddha."
Although Lin Xu didn't understand the secret language of Daodou, he used to be a soldier after all.So he understood that Liu Fei was actually a gentleman.
A middle-ranking officer and a thief were sitting face to face in the ruined temple at this time. It was raining heavily outside, and both of them were wearing a set of shrouds.
Liu Fei sensed Lin Xu's entanglement with his identity, so he broke the silence first, and said, "Then Brother Hu's part belongs to you?"
Lin Xu nodded and touched the hard object in his arms, a suspicious and inexplicable emotion flashed in Liu Fei's eyes."Have you opened it?" he asked again.
Lin Xu thought to himself: I was running around almost all the way, not to mention opening the package, and I rarely even had a chance to breathe.Lin Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, they both said at the same time, "How did you get involved?"
As soon as the words were finished, both of them laughed, which relieved the atmosphere between the two parties a lot.Liu Fei shrugged helplessly and said: "Fleeing, those little Japanese dogs said they wanted to massacre the city, so I followed my master from the north to the south. I didn't expect to go to the south, and found that there was no need to be strong in the northeast. In the end, the master died, and I went with him alone." They escaped with Daliu, but ended up with Brother Hu and the others."
"So what happened to you?"
Liu Fei seemed to be recalling a very terrible nightmare. He stroked his forehead, his body trembled slightly, and his voice trembled, and said: "The devils are chasing us. Some of us were beaten to death by the devils. Seeing that we are also He was about to die, Brother Hu said there was a robbery hole in the tomb. We entered that tomb, and what happened after that was beyond your imagination, we..."
Lin Xugang breathed a sigh of relief, ready to ask further questions.He heard Cuiniang's weak cry from outside the door.The two got up quickly and rushed to the door. Cuiniang could not be found in the darkness, and the voice disappeared at this moment.There was only the sound of heavy rain swishing, Lin Xu tried to shout a few times.The sound was sucked away by the heavy rain and became very powerless.
Lin Xu's body began to heat up, and he took a few steps forward with difficulty.He fell backwards, and Liu Fei quickly blocked him with his hands.At this time, they heard Cuiniang calling again, but this time the voice came from behind them. They turned around and found Cuiniang leaning against the dilapidated gate, looking at them worriedly.
Liu Fei helped Lin Xu back to the ruined temple, and he asked, "Cui Niang, why did you come out of it?"
Cuiniang nodded and said: "I found a secret passage in this place. There is a small secret room inside. There is also a dead person."
After speaking, the three of them followed Cui Niang to the temple. The Buddha statues in the temple were already crumbling and dilapidated, and the head of an arhat had even fallen to the ground. Master Huineng once said: Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand.There is nothing, where is the dust.The ruined temple at this time seems to be more able to confirm the true meaning of this poem, the Buddha is in the heart, not in the appearance.The heart cares not in the pagoda.Although Lin Xu didn't believe in Buddhism, he still put his palms together respectfully and bowed to the four-faced Buddha statue.
When he raised his head, he suddenly found that the glaring Arhat's head turned over for some reason, facing the inside direction, with the back of his head facing Lin Xu.
Lin Xu thought suspiciously: "The front is clearly facing me..." After he finished speaking, he opened the head portrait, and found that the head portrait was not an arhat at all, but a dead man's head, with staring eyes and open mouth. It seems that he has maintained the panic when his head was cut off.The dead man moved his mouth, and said in a voice like a woman's throat was stuck: "Run away..." Lin Xu was so frightened that he took a few steps back and bumped into Liu Fei behind him.Liu Fei looked at him and asked him what he found, he pointed at the head, and Liu Fei followed the trend.He said disapprovingly: "It's just the Buddha's head. It's rare for you to be as timid as a soldier."
Lin Xu closed his eyes and found that there was indeed a Buddha head.
Liu Fei ignored Lin Xu, and followed Cui Niang to open the altar. There was a huge black hole under the Buddha statue. Cui Niang motioned them both to pick up the torch.Then they went in with him. The passage was not very long, and it ended after ten steps. They also understood why Cuiniang's voice came from the door. She must have screamed after seeing the corpse in shock.
At the end is a secret room with four walls of bricks and tiles. There are no decorations in it, only piles of scriptures and scrolls.Some are rotten into a pile.It looked like a mess of rags.
And if the dead man hadn't been reminded by Cui Niang, if he didn't pay attention, the person who saw it would really be scared and sick.This corpse doesn't look like an eminent monk who died in a golden body, it feels like someone killed him here.He fell into a pile of scriptures, and he didn't know whether it was the special material in the golden book or some other reason, but the corpse turned into an embalmed mummy.
But except for Cuiniang, who is a novice in fighting, the other two men are people who are used to watching life and death, and they didn't show much surprise.They turned the corpse over and made him face the three of them. At this time, they found that the corpse was wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, which were very similar to their current shrouds.After all, the shrouds were made according to the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there was a custom of wearing full clothes for life and Ming clothes for death.
So if it wasn't for the braids on the corpse's hair, it would be really hard to say what dynasty the corpse was from.
After Lin Xu looked at the corpse carefully, he gasped and said, "He's just like us..."
Cuiniang tilted her head and looked at him, but Liu Fei who was beside him immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but let out a surprise.Lin Xu looked at Cuiniang and said: "This corpse belongs to the Qing Dynasty, but everyone knows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and implemented the policy of "shaving hair and making clothes easy". After that, there was a policy of 'leave your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head'." '. So if he was from the Qing Dynasty, how could he wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty openly? And the people in the Qing Dynasty had to wear Ming Dynasty clothes in only one form, and that was the shroud. The dead are eligible to wear the clothes of the Han people themselves .”
Liu Fei added: "Look, look, there seems to be something in the mouth of this corpse..."
The author has something to say: I finally climbed up with difficulty! !After the painful price that WORD gave me this time, I understand that copycats are just unreliable, whether I believe it or not, Brother Chun!So I used WPS without hesitation!free!And it’s still genuine...Long live the domestic production~ Now this chapter has finally returned to the content of the book. Some friends complain that there are too few stories in the book. Let me explain this here, because my theme is to talk about the story of the ring of seven , this book is a medium, if I focus on this story, then a lot of content will not be able to be developed later.Because the foreshadowing in front will not be enough.And this story is actually an attempt by me. Two different stories finally intersect and unfold through one event.It's a bit difficult, but it's still fun
Also, there is a newcomer in this chapter, I really like this kid... I designed him to be the kind of person who is very cold and arrogant~ and there is a small advertisement here~ One of the nonsense episodes "Quilt" The radio drama will come out soon~ Hehe, if you are interested, you can pay attention to it.Okay, not much nonsense~ Take your time, and I may not update it once a week on time, blame me...go curse the copycat version of WORD...I really have no stock! !
The four of them didn't say much, they just greeted each other with their eyes, feeling a bit like drug addicts, they only need to make a gesture, and the same kind will know that he is borrowing a syringe.
Zhou Jue flipped through the book again, and the rough texture and the faint smell of blood began to spread again, just like opening a miniature gas tank, and the gas flowed out bit by bit.

Lin Xu felt a buzzing sound in the back of his head, almost blank for a few seconds, and he struggled to get up.Looking back, I found a person wearing the same shroud and a red belt.This person is very young, with a handsome appearance, but his eyes are full of coldness.
Lin Xu got up slowly, and the boy just took a step back.He watched Lin Xu stand up awkwardly with cold eyes.Lin Xu covered his forehead and asked, "Who are you?"
There was still no trace of emotion in the boy's eyes, and he slightly opened his lips: "One of the seven."
Lin Xu finally started to cough, he knew he had a cold.The boy still looked at him expressionlessly, as if his life and death had nothing to do with him.Lin Xu had no choice but to ask again: "So... who are you? My head hurts, my head hurts."
Lin Xu got to the side of the fire, opened his medicine box, took out a medicine from it, and swallowed it without water.The young man was already sitting in front of him silently: "My name is Liu Fei. People call him Liu Ziyan."
Lin Xu didn't know Jianghu's name, so he tilted his head and waited for him to say the following, but the young man didn't understand his strange attitude and said, "Aren't you a person of the Tao?"
Lin Xu felt that the words of these people were all slang, and few of them could be understood clearly.Lin Xu tilted his head even more.This made the boy's expressionless face finally show a hint of surprise.He said: "Since you are not a person of the Tao, how could Brother Hu let you replace him?"
Lin Xu sighed helplessly, the boy's face darkened, and he said, "How do you know them?"
Lin Xu smiled wryly several times, and told the boy how he met these two people, and how Hu Zi was seriously injured and died.Liu Fei heard that Huzi was dead.Can't help but be shocked.It was the most amazed and exaggerated expression that could be expressed on his delicate face.He clenched his fist and said to himself: "Brother Hu is actually dead... I thought you were replacing Cuiniang, so... the previous agreement is true..."
Liu Fei didn't wait for Lin Xu to speak, and shook his head directly: "A person like you can't do it at all, and you can't do the next thing." We will still fail.
Lin Xubie was a little annoyed by what he said. After all, a yellow-haired boy who is several years younger than him keeps repeating that he can't do it. This is a very embarrassing thing.
Lin Xu said in a rough voice, "Why do you say that?"
Liu Fei frowned and looked at him and said, "You don't know what our group of people do?"
Lin Xu said angrily, "Didn't you fight backwards!"
Liu Fei was amused by Lin Xu, squinted his eyes and smiled and said, "No, I am a Buddha."
Although Lin Xu didn't understand the secret language of Daodou, he used to be a soldier after all.So he understood that Liu Fei was actually a gentleman.
A middle-ranking officer and a thief were sitting face to face in the ruined temple at this time. It was raining heavily outside, and both of them were wearing a set of shrouds.
Liu Fei sensed Lin Xu's entanglement with his identity, so he broke the silence first, and said, "Then Brother Hu's part belongs to you?"
Lin Xu nodded and touched the hard object in his arms, a suspicious and inexplicable emotion flashed in Liu Fei's eyes."Have you opened it?" he asked again.
Lin Xu thought to himself: I was running around almost all the way, not to mention opening the package, and I rarely even had a chance to breathe.Lin Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, they both said at the same time, "How did you get involved?"
As soon as the words were finished, both of them laughed, which relieved the atmosphere between the two parties a lot.Liu Fei shrugged helplessly and said: "Fleeing, those little Japanese dogs said they wanted to massacre the city, so I followed my master from the north to the south. I didn't expect to go to the south, and found that there was no need to be strong in the northeast. In the end, the master died, and I went with him alone." They escaped with Daliu, but ended up with Brother Hu and the others."
"So what happened to you?"
Liu Fei seemed to be recalling a very terrible nightmare. He stroked his forehead, his body trembled slightly, and his voice trembled, and said: "The devils are chasing us. Some of us were beaten to death by the devils. Seeing that we are also He was about to die, Brother Hu said there was a robbery hole in the tomb. We entered that tomb, and what happened after that was beyond your imagination, we..."
Lin Xugang breathed a sigh of relief, ready to ask further questions.He heard Cuiniang's weak cry from outside the door.The two got up quickly and rushed to the door. Cuiniang could not be found in the darkness, and the voice disappeared at this moment.There was only the sound of heavy rain swishing, Lin Xu tried to shout a few times.The sound was sucked away by the heavy rain and became very powerless.
Lin Xu's body began to heat up, and he took a few steps forward with difficulty.He fell backwards, and Liu Fei quickly blocked him with his hands.At this time, they heard Cuiniang calling again, but this time the voice came from behind them. They turned around and found Cuiniang leaning against the dilapidated gate, looking at them worriedly.
Liu Fei helped Lin Xu back to the ruined temple, and he asked, "Cui Niang, why did you come out of it?"
Cuiniang nodded and said: "I found a secret passage in this place. There is a small secret room inside. There is also a dead person."
After speaking, the three of them followed Cui Niang to the temple. The Buddha statues in the temple were already crumbling and dilapidated, and the head of an arhat had even fallen to the ground. Master Huineng once said: Bodhi does not have a tree, and a bright mirror is not a stand.There is nothing, where is the dust.The ruined temple at this time seems to be more able to confirm the true meaning of this poem, the Buddha is in the heart, not in the appearance.The heart cares not in the pagoda.Although Lin Xu didn't believe in Buddhism, he still put his palms together respectfully and bowed to the four-faced Buddha statue.
When he raised his head, he suddenly found that the glaring Arhat's head turned over for some reason, facing the inside direction, with the back of his head facing Lin Xu.
Lin Xu thought suspiciously: "The front is clearly facing me..." After he finished speaking, he opened the head portrait, and found that the head portrait was not an arhat at all, but a dead man's head, with staring eyes and open mouth. It seems that he has maintained the panic when his head was cut off.The dead man moved his mouth, and said in a voice like a woman's throat was stuck: "Run away..." Lin Xu was so frightened that he took a few steps back and bumped into Liu Fei behind him.Liu Fei looked at him and asked him what he found, he pointed at the head, and Liu Fei followed the trend.He said disapprovingly: "It's just the Buddha's head. It's rare for you to be as timid as a soldier."
Lin Xu closed his eyes and found that there was indeed a Buddha head.
Liu Fei ignored Lin Xu, and followed Cui Niang to open the altar. There was a huge black hole under the Buddha statue. Cui Niang motioned them both to pick up the torch.Then they went in with him. The passage was not very long, and it ended after ten steps. They also understood why Cuiniang's voice came from the door. She must have screamed after seeing the corpse in shock.
At the end is a secret room with four walls of bricks and tiles. There are no decorations in it, only piles of scriptures and scrolls.Some are rotten into a pile.It looked like a mess of rags.
And if the dead man hadn't been reminded by Cui Niang, if he didn't pay attention, the person who saw it would really be scared and sick.This corpse doesn't look like an eminent monk who died in a golden body, it feels like someone killed him here.He fell into a pile of scriptures, and he didn't know whether it was the special material in the golden book or some other reason, but the corpse turned into an embalmed mummy.
But except for Cuiniang, who is a novice in fighting, the other two men are people who are used to watching life and death, and they didn't show much surprise.They turned the corpse over and made him face the three of them. At this time, they found that the corpse was wearing Ming Dynasty clothes, which were very similar to their current shrouds.After all, the shrouds were made according to the clothes of the Ming Dynasty. When the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there was a custom of wearing full clothes for life and Ming clothes for death.
So if it wasn't for the braids on the corpse's hair, it would be really hard to say what dynasty the corpse was from.
After Lin Xu looked at the corpse carefully, he gasped and said, "He's just like us..."
Cuiniang tilted her head and looked at him, but Liu Fei who was beside him immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but let out a surprise.Lin Xu looked at Cuiniang and said: "This corpse belongs to the Qing Dynasty, but everyone knows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and implemented the policy of "shaving hair and making clothes easy". After that, there was a policy of 'leave your head but not your hair, keep your hair but not your head'." '. So if he was from the Qing Dynasty, how could he wear the clothes of the Ming Dynasty openly? And the people in the Qing Dynasty had to wear Ming Dynasty clothes in only one form, and that was the shroud. The dead are eligible to wear the clothes of the Han people themselves .”
Liu Fei added: "Look, look, there seems to be something in the mouth of this corpse..."
The author has something to say: I finally climbed up with difficulty! !After the painful price that WORD gave me this time, I understand that copycats are just unreliable, whether I believe it or not, Brother Chun!So I used WPS without hesitation!free!And it’s still genuine...Long live the domestic production~ Now this chapter has finally returned to the content of the book. Some friends complain that there are too few stories in the book. Let me explain this here, because my theme is to talk about the story of the ring of seven , this book is a medium, if I focus on this story, then a lot of content will not be able to be developed later.Because the foreshadowing in front will not be enough.And this story is actually an attempt by me. Two different stories finally intersect and unfold through one event.It's a bit difficult, but it's still fun
Also, there is a newcomer in this chapter, I really like this kid... I designed him to be the kind of person who is very cold and arrogant~ and there is a small advertisement here~ One of the nonsense episodes "Quilt" The radio drama will come out soon~ Hehe, if you are interested, you can pay attention to it.Okay, not much nonsense~ Take your time, and I may not update it once a week on time, blame me...go curse the copycat version of WORD...I really have no stock! !
