Chapter 102: New Town
Although I felt more and more that I was not too conscious, the doubts in my heart did not decrease, the so-called new city had a thousand ideas in my mind, although it could not really be a city, but it was not like this, it became a reef shrouded in mist.
Although this reef is not small, like the long reef that stretches out like a road, shrouded in fog, it seems that there is no end in sight, but it is not big, just like the place where we landed, the radius is only about 100 square meters.
Is this really the new city? I was dazed and almost asleep, but the emotions in my heart were extremely complicated.
The old man looked at us with a smile, parked the boat spontaneously, tied it unhurriedly, and then Shi Shiran walked over and said: "Arrival is arrival, here is here, no matter what you think, the ship will sail here, and it will not go again." ”
The old man's attitude is definitely not good, and there is no half an explanation, but from the bottom of my bones, I am willing to trust him, and I can't think about where my confusion and sleepiness come from, I just subconsciously asked: "Uncle, what should we do next?" ”
Can't you always stand on this reef? Look at this reef, it is also peculiar, flat and neat, near the middle, there is a simple stove, on which is a pot, next to some unknown weeds, and some things that look like potatoes, and sweet potatoes do not look like them.
Not far from the pot was a futon, and beside it was a very flat rock, on which lay an equally tattered but neat sheet, on which was a thin quilt of similar condition, and a pillow made of several tattered clothes.
Finally, on the other side, there was a stone with a pit in the middle, and in the middle of the stone was some clear water, which was not purple-red.
Everything so simple constitutes the most basic condition for a person's survival, and no more is nothing, just like those who are doing penance in the mountains, real monks, that kind of condition is that you can live, but all your desires are stifled, and the basic desires, such as food, clothing, shelter and transportation, are reduced to the lowest and the lowest.
However, whether it is an ascetic person or a pure cultivator, it is shocking that such a person would live such an ascetic life next to a small hell like this.
The old man let us look at everything here, as if he were just a bystander, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth to my question: "Leave all the magic weapons, and go all the way to that reef, until there is no way, and you will be where you want to be." ”
Leave the artifact behind? What is the requirement? Leaving behind the ritual weapon, aren't we going to die?
Faced with my doubts, the old man lowered his head and scooped a scoop of water, put it in the pot, and began to make a fire with the two stones in his arms, and suddenly asked me, "Do you have any useful tools for making fires, give me some?" ”
I endured the sleepiness and handed him all the lighters on our bodies, and he was not polite, and after taking it, I took out some dry firewood from the pile of weeds and sweet potatoes before saying, "If you don't leave any magic weapons, it's okay to take everything outside your body." I can't bring it in anyway! The real magic weapons are all spiritual, and the magic weapons that don't have the aura in the device can't be used, of course, there are few magic weapons that want to gather the spirit and transform the form, and you are 'rich', there are still so many pieces! I can still bring something in after all! By the way, that little girl is a little troublesome, leave all your bugs, medicine powder, and you can't bring anything in, but fortunately, the natal Gu has already been planted in the body, and the real natal Gu is powerful Gu Spirit, just like the cat spirit, the dog spirit, to the extreme, the gods are also afraid, you have a Gu spirit, so it's not that there is nothing without self-defense, I am too long-winded, you go quickly. ”
The old man did not say a lot, he was busy lighting the fire, and he did not raise his eyebrows when he said this, but what he said was even more inexplicable.
But I don't know why, I just trusted this old man inexplicably, and immediately took off the yellow cloth bag on my body, which was simply my life, and put it next to the old man.
I didn't ask why, he definitely wouldn't say, seeing me put down the yellow cloth bag, the old man suddenly grabbed my wrist and asked me a little mysteriously: "Do you have all the sacrifices in the bag?" ”
"How can I not practice the magic weapons I usually use? It's just some gadgets, it's impossible" Before I finished speaking, the old man seemed to be impatient to listen, and waved at me: "Go, go." ”
With me as an example, everyone did the same, and in the end, only Brother Chengqing and Jueyuan were a little hesitant and refused to step forward, and they didn't know what they were thinking.
The old man didn't urge, he didn't speak, he just looked up at the two of them, and continued his 'great cause of igniting fire', he was also skilled, and after a while, the firewood really burned.
It was me, and I couldn't help but ask Brother Chengqing and Jueyuan: "You guys? ”
"I must carry this lamp, Chengyi, there is no way to do this." Brother Chengqing said it very directly.
Jueyuan also said: "It's okay for the rest, my string of prayer beads must also be worn, I have to wait for one hundred and eight Buddha beads to light up." ”
Faced with Brother Chengqing and Jueyuan's statement, I don't know what to say, didn't the old man say that he couldn't bring it in? But what about this situation?
The old man finally put down what he was doing, walked over, and couldn't help but take the rosary in Jueyuan's hand and look at it, his eyes showed a little exclamation, and said: "You put down this rosary, even if you put it down, it's still there." ”
After speaking, the old man looked at Jueyuan, as if there was some 'magic power', Jueyuan was slightly stunned, and he simply put down the rosary in his hand on the spot.
The old man walked up to Brother Chengqing again, and without saying anything, he took down Brother Chengxin's yellow cloth bag, took out a lamp, and looked at it carefully, but the surprise in his eyes was even worse than seeing Jueyuan's prayer beads.
He didn't comment much on the lamp, but said: "It's already a thing of creation, and the real spirit has long been passed down from you, and to light this fire, it's not an ordinary fire!" In the ordinary world, cast spells with lanterns, and in the uncommon world, cast spells in a special way. What must you be obsessed with? ”
When Brother Chengqing heard this, he seemed to be contemplating and pondering, and after a while, he put down the yellow cloth bag on his back and said thank you to the old man.
The old man went to guard his pot of water again, and no longer bothered us.
It was no fun to stay any longer, and he had already guided him, so I took the lead and saluted the old man, and then walked towards the reef, and everyone followed behind me, and did the same, and walked towards the reef together.
The long reef is really like a road, and it is very neat and fast, just like the bluestone road in the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not more than two meters wide, and walking on it is like walking on a narrow bridge.
On both sides of the lake is the purple-red water, where the water is no longer motionless, but with a slight fluctuation in the breeze, the lake water from time to time rushes up to the reef under your feet, and then churns down again
The entire reef is shrouded in a misty scene, with a smoke-like mist drifting and occasionally revealing a purple-red sky.
I didn't look back, but I walked weakly, every step I took, I had the urge to sleep, I said loudly: "Master, I want to sleep, it makes people feel so sleepy here, does it have any effect?" ”
"Master, aren't you called uncle?" The old man made a rare joke, and then said: "Don't get in the way, don't look back on Huangquan Road." There was silence.
On the whole road, there is a sentence on the Huangquan Road that does not turn back, which makes people tremble, is this really the rhythm of going to hell?
But the old man said that if it is not in the way, then it will not be in the way, and I will let myself walk like this with sleepiness
As I walked, I found that the reef shrouded in mist seemed to have reached the end, and next to the end, there was a small stone monument, and there was no word on the stone monument, and I barely supported myself to the side of the stone monument, and then stepped over without hesitation
At that moment, as if I had experienced the vicissitudes of life, I felt that I had lost my mind, and the pain came from my body in a trance, but it disappeared quickly!
Then the next miraculous thing happened, I suddenly got rid of the predicament that could not be dissipated just now, and my mental state returned to a peak, there was almost no road in front of me, after all, there was only a reef less than two or three meters long left behind the stone monument, but now there was a wide black road spreading into the depths of the mist.
In the depths of the fog, there is a faint outline that looks like a building, what is this?
And in my trance, everyone came to my side, and at the same time saw the place in front of me!
Is this the real new town?
