Yanshan Records

It has been rainy in Rongzhen recently, and the whole town has become increasingly cold and humid.

Di Chie lit incense in front of the patriarch's statue, and a draft gust blew in, making the stack of yellow paper under the black paperweight rattle.He originally wanted to ignore it, but the voice of Master Ban calling him was vaguely heard from inside the room. Di Xie was taken aback, suspicious of hallucinations, but still stood up and walked to the bedroom at the back.

Master Ban has been in a bad mood these past few days, dozing off all the time, just after dinner, taking advantage of the rain to stop today, Master Du E went out for a walk with Rhubarb.The majestic and mighty two old dogs did not have the usual vitality. When the boss returned to his room and lay down, they would lie on the door of the boss and doze off.

But not long after Master Ban's voice fell, he heard two dogs barking again.Di Jie quickened his pace, and saw two dogs running towards the closed door, their ears and tails raised, very vigilant.

Di Xie pushed open the door, and was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to react.Ban Ye sat on the edge of the bed, looked over calmly, and waved: "Ah Chi, come and meet the two Master Wuchang."

Hearing this, Di Xie looked into the house, and there was a small wooden tea table against the wall, with a chair on the left and right, and two "people" were sitting on the stool.

Those two, one "person" dressed in black and the other "person" in white, looked at him with expressionless faces.

"Master..." Di Chie realized that Master was really awake, black and white came, presumably it was a flashback before his death, his eyes turned red, big tears were in his eyes, and the mole on his eyebrows was dimmed , "Master, are you leaving?"

Master Ban's complexion changed, he was about to yell, he held back, and said angrily: "These two are old friends of your master and me, you have something important to tell me, what are you thinking about!"

Di Que choked up and held back his tears.

How can this be his fault, black and white impermanence, except for seductive, never casually run to other people's house.What's more, since he came back, everyone he saw was in a daze. When he regained his composure, could he stop thinking about that?

Hei Wuchang has a good appearance. Although he has no expression, his tone is much softer than it looks: "Sit down first. You saw us when you were young, have you forgotten?"

Bai Wuchang glanced at Master Ban, and said coldly: "The Yin envoy threw himself into the endless hell, and no one can save him. You are a mere mortal, and your time is short, what else can you do?"

Master Ban showed a wry smile: "Then what do you mean? Since I am useless, why don't you let me die in a daze. Anyway, when I arrive in the underworld, I still have to drink Mengpo soup."

Bai Wuchang's face was cold, Hei Wuchang said: "You and I don't want to see the Yin Envoy fall into such a field, so we have to find a way to see you here."

Di Chai was full of suspicion: "Master, who are you talking about?"

Ban Ye let out a long sigh: "That junior brother of yours is actually an emissary under the King of Reincarnation."

Black and White Impermanence briefly narrated what happened afterwards, hearing that the younger brother was cheated away and fell into the endless hell, the blood all over Di Chi's body was cold.

He sat there blankly, only blood debts left in his heart.

"But there is also a reason for this."

There are two envoys of yin and yang under the revolving throne, and the envoys of yang are served by former Shizong disciples. They travel around the yang world and are ordered to do things that are inconvenient for the underworld.Master Ban has already stepped into the coffin with half a leg, and this Yang envoy is Di Chai.

The Yin Envoy is a ghost from the underworld. Even Black and White Wuchang only knows that this Yin Envoy has been in the underworld for more than 1000 years.

More than 20 years ago, a living person trespassed into the underworld.

In the past, people who were still in the yang world entered the underworld cautiously. This person was so bold that he not only entered the underworld, but also rushed into the reincarnation hall, demanding to meet the king of reincarnation.

It was a Taoist, the ghost official pressed him into the palace, and saw the reincarnation king.

Not only did he behave boldly, but his thoughts were even more shocking. He even asked the reincarnation king to give his wife a child.

The judges and ghost officials present were all dumbfounded, who among the ordinary people didn't know that they should go to worship Guanyin to send their children?It's just that the fate of having no children is something that can't be changed even by praying to God and worshiping Buddha.

This was the first person to take a slanted sword, and everyone present felt that he was thinking of his own life.

The Lunzhuan Wang laughed back angrily, and almost picked up the Yin-Yang Book to deduct his yang life, but who knows, the Yin Envoy abnormally interceded for that person.

No one knows what kind of conversation they had, only that the reincarnation king finally agreed to the mortal, giving him three years to let a sinful soul be reborn in his wife's womb.

Three years later, the king of reincarnation took back his soul as scheduled, but the woman went back on her word. She even stole the book and enforced the forbidden law after learning that "Yanshanlu" recorded a forbidden book that could bring people back to life.

"Yanshanlu" is a taboo of the king of reincarnation. The Fu family enforced the forbidden law recorded in "Yanshanlu", which caused turmoil in the underworld, ghosts escaped, and the king of reincarnation was already furious. Su Yu's actions were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire .

When "Yanshanlu" was dug out from the ground, King Lunzhuan asked Master Ban to find it, but he returned without success.Fortunately, the mortal who got the book did not act rashly, so the reincarnation king turned a blind eye.

But now someone is really trying to resurrect the dead, and the king of reincarnation immediately ordered Master Ban to go to get the book back, and escort back the souls who violated the forbidden law.

The Yin envoy pleaded for the woman again and again, but hit the knife edge of the king of reincarnation. The king of reincarnation became very angry for a while, and shouted: "If you plead for her again, you will also go to the endless hell."

The Yin envoy was not afraid, and only said: "Miao Xian once fought with his life to save me. If I can repay this favor, so what if I go to hell. I only hope that His Highness can let Miao Xian die. .”

The king of reincarnation was surprised at his firmness. He was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "I'm not unreasonable. She still has 30 years to live in this life. Since you said that what she wants is only a child, then you go to this world." Be her child, watch her die, and she will behave out of line, you understand."

He didn't say what the consequences of failure would be, but everyone knew it wouldn't be a good result.Even though he knew that if he said these words, the previous convenience would be irreversible, but the Yin envoy still complied.

When Master Ban found out, he beat his chest and stamped his feet to stop the Yin Envoy from doing stupid things, but the Yin Envoy's intention to go was already decided, and he was powerless.

Since then, there has been no Yin envoy in the Hall of Reincarnation.

Master Ban said with regret on his face: "If I had snatched the book back then, this kind of thing would not have happened!"

Bai Wuchang said: "It's too late."

Hei Wuchang shook his head: "It's hard to say. Although you are also negligent, banned books cannot enter the underworld, and even the King of Hades has no way to keep them properly. Even if you snatch them back, those who have seen the banned books will kill you, and I am afraid that you will be imprisoned." His life, buried in the ground for thousands of years, was dug out."

Di Xie shook uncontrollably, looked at Master Ban with guilt, and immediately lowered his eyelids to look elsewhere.

He is also one of those who are deluded by banned books.

He still remembered his thoughts when implementing the forbidden law, but it was just because he couldn't bear it, he didn't want to see life die before his eyes.He just thought so, so he did it.

Di Xie was startled suddenly: "Didn't that book be taken away by the King of Reincarnation?"

Ban Ye rolled his eyes upwards, revealing a large area of ​​white, and stretched out his finger to point to the roof above his head: "I have been here all these years. The King of Hades does not allow anyone to remember the forbidden curse. When you got into trouble, I had no choice... Don't blame me."

Di Chie vaguely understood in his heart that these words should be his last words, and he felt so sad that he couldn't speak.

There was a dog barking outside the door, and Black and White Wuchang said: "We can't stay long, even ordinary ghost officials will not go to the Infernal Hell. To save the Yin Envoy, you can only find someone who is willing to go to the Infernal Hell to bring him back."

Di Xie thought of himself first, but he was afraid that he would be lost in hell without even seeing his junior brother.

The master is even worse, not far from his end.

Fu... Di Chi hesitated, even though he was a fierce ghost who escaped from the underworld, but one size counts for another size, it wasn't him who caused the younger brother to go to hell, but the greedy woman.

The dog outside the door barked again, Black and White Wuchang's expression became a little subtle, and he sighed softly: "I found you."

It was someone who had gone up the mountain, majestic and mighty smelling the breath of a stranger, and the deliberately suppressed threatening barks conveyed uneasiness.

Di Jie stood up: "I'll go out and have a look."

He walked to the door, realized something, and glanced back.Black and white impermanence is no longer in place, Mr. Ban is lying on the bed, breathing long, everything just now is like a dream.Di Chie's eyes gradually became firmer, and he walked out of the bedroom with his head held high.

The old man guarding the parking lot was sitting on a recliner, with his eyes closed and his head slightly shaking as the opera played from the small tape recorder.

A few drops of water hit the steel roof heavily, and then the sound of loud and noisy rain became one piece, and a heavy rain came unexpectedly.

Suddenly there was the sound of glass windows being knocked in my ears. The old man opened his eyes in a drowsy state, and glanced out of the window. There was a black car parked in the empty parking space in front of him. car.

He put his feet on the ground suspiciously, stood up and took a closer look, it wasn't his eyes that were dazzled.

Going to the front of the car and writing down the license plate number, the old man walked back with the book, and there was a hundred-yuan bill on the small square table under the window.

strangeness.The old man picked up the money, walked to the exit and looked on both sides of the road. There were no pedestrians in the rainstorm, but from a distance, he seemed to see a man in a black raincoat walking towards the back of the town.

The footsteps of "patta pata" came, and the monk in the old monk's clothes hurried past the entrance with a dog. The old man greeted: "Master, I have an umbrella here!"

Monk Du E hurriedly stopped, turned around and hid under the eaves, smiling kindly: "That's kind, thank you benefactor, I will send it back to you tomorrow."

The old man smiled and waved his hands: "No rush."

While waiting for the old man to take the umbrella, Monk Du E took a look around. The sky was already gloomy, but the space enclosed on three sides became darker and darker, with a mild musty smell mixed in with the damp water vapor.

Rhubarb whimpered twice, and Monk Du E said, "That's right, the sun is covered by dark clouds, and any dirty thing dares to run out."

"Master, take it well." The old man came out with the umbrella and handed it to the monk Du'e. The monk Jishou saluted and rushed to the back mountain with the dog.

The umbrella in the heavy rain was struggling to support, but after going up the mountain, the wind blew up, and the rain hit the body from all directions, and the wind that lifted the umbrella almost flew away with people.Monk Du E simply put away his umbrella and braved the wind and rain to move forward.

Walking through a bend, there seemed to be pedestrians at the end of the road ahead. Monk Du E sped up his pace to catch up. The man in the black raincoat was getting closer, but his pace slowed down.

There is some familiar yin, which is very similar to what was left in the parking lot just now.Monk Du E frowned, raised a hand and twisted the prayer beads on his chest tightly.

The person in front stopped and looked back, pausing for a moment as if to recognize: "Master just came back."

Monk Du E did not make a sound, walked past him without stopping, and rushed to the front.

Di Xie was already waiting at the door. Monk Du E walked under the eaves, lifted up his clothes and sleeves, and wrung out a wave of water. Rhubarb shook the water with all his strength, and jumped happily into the house .

It's just that the man in the black raincoat is still standing in the rain, waiting for an invitation to come in.

Ban Ye's confinement in the past is no longer effective, and the "evil" that was forcibly separated has merged with the soul again.In Di Xie's eyes, he was filled with the coldness brought out of hell, and the hatred and resentment melted into his bones and blood.

Di Chi asked, "What do you want, Your Excellency?"

Fu Zongming's voice came from the wide hat: "Is he back?"

The voice was calm as usual, as if he didn't know anything yet.He took off his hat, revealing that handsome face, the rain was pressing down on his eyelashes and overflowing into his eyes, so he had to blink to squeeze out the rain, but he couldn't hide his sincerity.

Di Chi hesitated for a moment, then said, "He didn't come back."

"Really." Fu Zongming looked a little disappointed, the sky seemed to be more gloomy, and the drenched Monk Du E suddenly shivered from the cold.

Di Xie stared at his every move, and said slowly: "Maybe, I will never come back."

Fu Zongming's gaze was fixed on his face, he didn't care about anything else, he just bit the word "possible" to death: "Where should I go to find him?"

Di Xi made up his mind, but he still asked, "What do you want from him?"

The other party was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand under the large black raincoat, holding a bronze sword in his hand: "I want to return the sword to him."

The rainwater slid down the edge of the sword and fell into the puddles. The sudden torrential downpour exhausted the dark clouds above the head. It was getting late, but the sky suddenly became much brighter.

Di Xie turned his body sideways: "Please come in."

Monk Du'e chanted Amitabha, seeing that the owner of the house had spoken, he went to do whatever he should.

Di Xie packed some things, paid homage to the patriarch the next morning, and entrusted Master Ban to the monk Du E, saying that he would definitely come back as soon as possible.

Monk Du E is like a bright mirror in his heart. This is probably a difficult and dangerous event. He said in his heart that your junior brother said the same, but he never came back. Now Master Ban is left with you as the only seedling who inherits the sect. If you want to go back What to do?

Mr. Ban went to bed early yesterday, and woke up early today. He sat at the door and saw Di Xie carrying his bag, and said with a smile, "Ah Chie, are you going out? Come back earlier!"

Di Xie's eyes were slightly red: "Yes, Master." He made a big salute and went down the mountain with Fu Zongming.

Monk Du E watched them walk away, then turned to stare at Master Ban: "Old friend, you are really confused."

Ban Ye raised the crutch in his hand: "You are the one who becomes a potato!"

Monk Du E shook his head: "I can't tell you."

Master Ban curled his lips: "You stinky monk is the one who 'tells you not to go'!"

Monk Du'e moved a low stool and sat next to him. You and I spoke the wrong words, interspersed with a few barking dogs, which was very harmonious.

After an unknown amount of time, Monk Du'e stopped talking, poured two cups of tea, and sat down with Master Ban to enjoy the beautiful scenery.

A young man suddenly appeared on the top of the mountain. He ran towards the old house, with a smile on his face, and called Master Ban to master.

Monk Du E took a look at him, his face was very strange, he guessed that he came from outside to seek help, and said: "The master is away, this benefactor, please come back, come back another day."

Seeing that Master Ban ignored him, the young man looked at Monk Du E suspiciously: "This master, my surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Yunzhang. I used to be a teacher here when I was a child, and stayed here for a year. Later, my family immigrated and moved away. Master Ban is my master, where are Brother Di Que and Xiao Su? Where are they?"

Monk Du E suddenly realized that Master Ban had mentioned such a person to him when he lamented the small number of people in the sect before, but he was just a verbal disciple he accepted casually, not even a member of the Taoist sect.Master Du'e got up and moved a chair for him: "The poor monk's name is Du'e, Ah Chie has something to go out, Xiao Su went to another place, but he never came back, Ah Chie went to find him."

Jiang Yunzhang looked at Master Ban and asked, "This is my master?"

Monk Du E casually replied: "The old man has dementia, and now he doesn't recognize people."

Jiang Yunzhang showed regret, and quickly said: "Master, there is no need to move the chair, I will just take a look." He said, and walked into the ancestral hall.

In my memory, the ancestral hall full of portraits of the patriarchs seems to have suffered a catastrophe. The hangings on the wall are incomplete, and more than half of the incense sticks on the incense burner have been burnt. The place left for the master is not a painting, but a photo .Jiang Yunzhang walked to the back of the house according to his memory, and when he came to the door of Master Ban, he turned around and shouted: "Master, can I go into Master's room to have a look?"

Monk Du E came over, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "There's nothing inside, just take a look."

Jiang Yunzhang responded, stepped over the threshold and walked in.The furnishings in the house are exactly the same as many years ago, but the traces of years of wind and frost are obviously old and yellow.

He walked to the table and saw a group photo of four people on the table.The person in the middle of the photo is Ban Ye, and a thin man is standing on his left. Jiang Yunzhang recognized Di Chai by the mole on his eyebrow.The facial features of the person standing behind Master Ban were very similar to the Xiao Su in his memory, and Jiang Yunzhang had an intuition that he was Xiao Su.

But who is the fourth person?

Monk Du E suddenly said: "The person you don't know in the photo is Xiao Su's friend, Mr. Fu. I heard from Xiao Su that he received a lot of care from Mr. Fu in other places, and it was Mr. Fu who sent Xiao Su and Ah Chi back. .”

Jiang Yunzhang looked at the photo carefully, and always felt that the man was a little strange.

Monk Du E went on to say: "However, two months ago, Xiao Su left with that man again. She said she would come back in a few days, but it has been so long... Ah Chi is going to find Xiao Su. He just left not long ago. It's just that small, you two missed it."

"Then where did they go?" Jiang Yunzhang asked, "I won't be here long after I come back, I just want to see Master, Senior Brother and Xiao Su."

Monk Du E thought for a while, took out a piece of paper with a phone address from the drawer, and showed it to Jiang Yunzhang: "No accident, they should have gone to Mr. Fu's residence."

Jiang Yunzhang smiled when he saw the address: "I am familiar with this place. I have an uncle there, so I can visit it. Master, do you mind if I take a picture?"

Amitabha, the monk who crossed the evil, said: "Please feel free."

The young man named Jiang Yunzhang stayed in the old house for one night, and left after breakfast the next day.Master Du E was cleaning up the house, and suddenly found that the framed photo on Banye's desk had been taken away, and there was a stack of hundred-yuan bills under the frame.

"Amitabha." Monk Du'e walked out of the room and said to Master Ban, "You haven't done anything good in your life, but the disciples you recruit are all kind and righteous."

Master Ban raised his ears: "Ah? Nonsense, how can there be mice in the quilt?"
