Chapter 156
Chapter 156
Jin Man initially refused to bring Wuhou's Mansion onto Meng Qiqi's boat.He knew Meng Qiqi too well, once he got on this thief ship, he couldn't get off easily.
But Meng Qiqi also understood Jin Man, and with just one sentence, Jin Man raised his eyebrows - "People are bullying you, won't Mr. Jin turn him upside down?"
Meng Qiqi smiled lightly, and added: "Or are you afraid that you won't be able to beat him?"
Jin Man hated others using aggressive methods against him, but he was very interested in what Meng Qiqi said, "Turn him upside down".
"What are you going to do?" Jin Man became interested.
So the two conspired, and in order to keep it secret, no third person knew what they were talking about.Even Xiao Yu'er and Qing Gu stood far away, only hearing that when the last two came over, they were still discussing how to carve up.
"I'm six and you are four." Meng Qiqi looked solemn.
"I seven you three." Jin Man sneered.
Meng Qiqi glared at him, "Stop talking, Wuwu!"
Jin Man raised his eyebrows, "Master Chen didn't give you any money."
"None of your business." Meng Qiqi angrily shook off him and walked to the disciples, waved her sleeves, "I'm back."
After returning to the shore, all matters discussed on the island became a secret, as to whether Jin Man told Ruan Kongting about them, Meng Qiqi did not know.
He hastily replied to Shen Qingya, picked up the pen several times, but changed the draft several times, not knowing how to comfort him.In the end, he deleted all those slightly hypocritical words, leaving only the sentence "I believe in you", and then explained the situation in South Island and what he will do next.
Then he wrote two more letters, one to Wang Ziling and one to Chen Boyan.The letter for Wang Ziling was handed over to Qing Gu. Meng Qiqi patted Qing Gu's head and said, "Qing Gu, remember to hand over the letter to Wang Ziling in person. Then you stay there, Remember, if you encounter the situation mentioned in the letter, tell Wang Ziling not to bear it. It is impossible for a person to become a hero all at once. When you can't bear it, you can ask Jiange, Tianmu Mountain, or the Chen family for help. "
Qinggu nodded solemnly, and immediately left for Jinling after receiving the letter.
Looking at her back, Meng Qiqi was a little worried, but relieved.His three apprentices, no matter how old or young they are, are talents who can stand on their own.At this moment, the only ones Meng Qiqi could trust completely without the slightest doubt were them.
Another letter to Chen Boyan, Meng Qiqi handed over to Mu Guinian who was more stable.Mu Guinian is also in the team of disciples this time, but he is usually taciturn, and he came out this time mostly to protect the juniors.
Early the next morning, Meng Qiqi and Jin Man left their troubles to Ruan Kongting and rushed to Futu Temple.Xiao Yu'er was the only person accompanying her, and the three of them finally arrived at Vimo Mountain where the Futu Temple was located at sunset on the second day.
Futu Temple is a temple full of incense, and there is an endless stream of pilgrims. It is said that the incense burner in the temple does not stop day and night, and it cannot burn out the incense offered by the pilgrims.
But in fact, the real Futu Temple mentioned in the fairy gate is the countless monks' houses behind the big temple.Those simple and simple huts are the precious places where countless Buddhist teachings and Zen studies were born.
The secret place of Futu Temple is still safe and sound. The three of them walked up the stone steps, and they could occasionally hear the word "Shuzhong" from the pilgrims walking towards them.
There were sighs and worries in that tone, but it was still very calm.Mount Vimo, surrounded by incense, seems to be still immersed in a peaceful dream. Even a sigh or a touch of sadness will eventually dissipate in the peaceful eyes.Everyone came and went, nodded to each other, said hello, and that's how the day passed.
This made Meng Qiqi, who had seen the tragic scenes in the middle of Sichuan and the bright red waters of the South Island, somewhat unable to adapt for a while, as if he had stepped from the troubled times to the peaceful scenery in one step.
What about monsters?No.
What about blood?nor.
On a long stone path, pilgrims stopped to say hello when they saw three immortals wearing bamboo hats and elegant clothes.Some nodded and passed away, and some delicate girls were still blushing, timidly peeking at them with deer-like eyes.
Disasters in the distance seemed to them to be only a distant event.
"Master." Seeing Meng Qiqi suddenly stop, Xiao Yu'er tugged at the hem of his clothes.
Only then did Meng Qiqi regain her senses, then shook her head, "It's nothing, let's continue walking."
The three of them didn't go into the temple, they bypassed the Futu Temple and walked directly to the monk's house at the back.The monk's houses were scattered like pearls, mostly in secluded places, Xiao Yu'er picked one at random and knocked on the door, and the clear and youthful voice called out, "Excuse me, is there anyone?"
No one answered inside, maybe the owner just wasn't there.
The three of them were about to switch rooms and continue knocking when they heard a familiar voice behind them, "Brother Meng? Mr. Jin?"
Meng Qiqi turned her head and saw Monk Yi Nian walking over with a bucket.With one hand upright in front of him, a gleam of joy appeared in his eyes, and he said, "Amitabha, don't come here without any problems."
Meng Qiqi clasped his palms together in return, and Xiao Yu'er also followed suit and recited "Amitabha". As for Jin Man, he put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the fence in front of the monk's house, leisurely like a grandson.
"You guys, please follow me." Yi Nian welcomed the three of them into his monk's house, and poured the water from the bucket into the big vat in front of the door.Only now did Meng Qiqi see that there was a golden koi in the tank.
Yi Nian looked at it with compassion as always, and explained: "I picked this up on the road last month, and I don't know who tied it with a rope to the side of the road."
It was only then that Meng Qiqi saw that the scales on the fish's body were incomplete, and the body was still tainted with the aura of Buddhism, presumably it was a thought of magic power that healed its wounds.So he said with a smile: "One thought that Master has the virtue of loving life. It is also the fate of this fish to meet you."
He smiled at a thought and stopped talking.
Meng Qiqi looked at the wild flowers blooming on the fence behind him, looked at his calm and gentle face, and listened to the sound of fish splashing in the water.
Afterwards, Meng Qiqi explained the purpose of coming to him.
Monk Yi Nian pondered for a moment, and said: "There is no crack in the secret realm of Futu Temple. If you want to enter, the elders of the temple must work together to open the entrance to the secret realm. I'm afraid it will not be easy."
Meng Qiqi understood that now that something happened to the secret realm, it was too late for everyone to close it, and no one was willing to take the risk to open the secret realm at this time.What's more, it takes a lot of time to open the secret realm, and it will take a lot of talking and talking to persuade the masters of Futu Temple to do what they want.
"You don't have to worry about master, Mr. Jin and I can figure out a solution for this matter, you just need to guide us." Meng Qiqi said.
He didn't say any more, he had also been to Tianmu Mountain, and knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he took them to find the elders of the master without sitting down to drink.
"Master went out yesterday and is not in the monastery. I will take the three of you directly to Master Uncle Wuming who is in charge. Please come with me."
Master Wuming lived in a monk's house further down the mountain, and the three of them walked all the way in along the mountain path, and it took about a stick of incense to reach their destination.
However, when he got outside the fence, Yi Nian stopped, bent down and bowed, and said: "The poor monk has been sent here. There is a family at the foot of the mountain where a young child died. I promised him that I will do a ritual for him. Please Forgive the poor monk for not accompanying me."
"It's okay, master, walk slowly." Meng Qiqi naturally stepped out of the way.
At the same time, within the secret territory of the South Island.
Yao Guan has been fleeing for two full days, and when another sunset came, he seemed to hear the sound of death approaching.Fortunately, the first day, he was frightened by the scene of the landslide, and he didn't dare to approach the mountain, so no white mask found his whereabouts.He can kill some monsters at most, just find a place to hide.
But hiding all the time is not an option.
In this secret realm, there are a large group of white masks.
They all gathered on the other side of the collapsed mountain, not knowing what they were doing.The monsters will not attack them, and they will even be driven by them.
On the second day, Yao Guan hid in the distance to spy, and found that the mountain had been dug out by many monsters in the prototype of a huge sinkhole.The excavated bodies were piled aside, and they continued to dig down, not knowing what else could be dug up.
In the secret realm, it was still raining lightly.Yao Guan's hands and feet were gradually numb from the cold, and he didn't bring any food with him. Only a piece of ten thousand year vine dug up by luck last night could restore his physical strength to the maximum extent.
But what made Yao Guan most anxious was not the weirdness in front of him, but his loneliness.He didn't know if he could go out, and he couldn't tell anyone, he didn't know what to do.
He is willing to believe that the second and third brothers will find a way to save him, but he doesn't know if he can live until then.
do not care.
Yao Guan moved a little further, carefully avoiding the monsters, and even wiped some dirt dug from the monsters' lairs on his body.The stench made him want to gag.
Finally, he slowly approached.
The smell of soil covered up his own smell, and he slowly crawled forward in the grass, finally reaching the outside of the pile of corpses.The pile of corpses surrounded the tiankeng like a small slope, like a natural protective belt, blocking his sight.If he wanted to see clearly the situation in the sinkhole, he had to climb over the pile of corpses.
But this is just disgusting and horrible.
Yao Guan remembered very clearly that these corpses, which had been sealed up in the mountains for an unknown number of years, were still intact when the landslide occurred—as if they had just died.But not long after, the corpse had already begun to rot.
The remains of severed fingers, carrion and insects.
No, what is that?
Yao Guan looked suspiciously at a certain place in the pile of corpses, as if he saw someone's clothes.He hurried over, endured the smell of the corpse, grabbed the clothes and pulled it out desperately, and pulled out a human corpse.
This was undoubtedly a human corpse. The corpse was relatively complete, with no missing arms or legs.
But the moment Yao Guan saw the real face of the corpse, cold sweat broke out on Yao Guan's back.
"Ancestor..." He exclaimed in a low voice, because this is really his ancestor, the patriarch of Wuhou Mansion!Yao Guan was led to kneel and kowtow three times and nine times in front of the portrait of the patriarch when he entered the Wuhou Mansion. He would not be mistaken, it was this face!
Mom, mom...
Yao Guan was so shocked that his calves couldn't help trembling, he hurriedly searched for the things on the corpse, whether it was a jade pendant or a saber, everything that could prove his identity!
Suddenly, he paused, and stiffly lowered his head to look at a piece of jade pendant in his hand—although this jade pendant was different from the waist card of the Wuhou Mansion today, the pattern on it was the same.
"How is this possible!" Yao Guan threw the jade pendant away, as if holding some hot potato.What a powerful person Patriarch is, and he was born thousands of years ago, how could he appear here?
How could he be sealed up in the mountain with so many monsters?
This is impossible, impossible!
Yao Guan was about to go crazy, but his angry shout directly exposed his whereabouts.
"Someone! Catch him!" The white mask shouted in the distance, and someone rushed over immediately.At the same time, the sound of the flute sounded, and the nearby monsters also roared and ran towards Yaoguan.
Yao Guan came back to his senses immediately, he couldn't control the body of the patriarch anymore, so Yu Jian ran away.
run!
run!
run!
Yao Guan rushed all the way into a dense forest. In the dense forest, he could not control his sword, but it also reduced the possibility of exposure.But the monsters are still following them like a shadow, and there are too many of them, so many that Yao Guan's scalp is numb.If it was replaced by a timid person, I am afraid that he has lost the courage to escape.
He was out of breath from running, because he knew that no one could help him, so he dared not relax in the slightest.
At a critical moment, Yao Guan rushed into a cave.He sensed that a white mask was chasing him, so he planned to ambush at the entrance of the cave and lay an ambush.
It would be much easier to kill this person first, and then deal with the monsters with no intelligence.
"Huh..." He breathed a sigh of relief, then held his breath and concentrated, clenched the long sword in his hand.Let the rain fall from the corner of his forehead into his eyes without wiping.
The footsteps are gradually approaching, slowly, slowly... approaching!
Yao Guan rushed out immediately, this blow was a desperate effort, the surging killing intent hit people's faces straight.However, before the light of the sword fell, he heard the other party's exasperated shouts.
"It's me, me! We are all friends, don't do anything!"
At the critical moment, Yao Guan deflected the point of his sword an inch to the side.With a click, a big tree in front was split in half and fell to the ground.
The visitor hurriedly took off the hood and mask, revealing a shiny bald head and a bearded face, "Damn it, you almost killed me!"
