Chapter 125: Grass Heart (8)
"This ...... Where is this?" Erhei only felt that there was a silver in front of him, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived at a dark place, and now it was the time when the dark clouds covered the moon, and there was basically no light, just by feeling, he knew that the woman next to him was still breathing, lying on the ground, and falling asleep.
"Oh, it stinks!" Erhei was in the dark, smelling a pungent stench, and his legs and stomach trembled, so he struggled to stand up, and seemed to touch a lot of tables and chairs around him, and he couldn't help but feel strange in his heart.
After a while, his eyes began to adapt to the dark environment, and he could barely see the general outline of the surroundings, and he couldn't help but step forward, found a door, and pushed it with his hand, only to hear a "squeak" door, and as soon as he raised his legs, he went out of the door.
"Huh, this is ......" At this time, Erhei stood outside the door, raised his head and looked around, slightly surprised, it turned out that this was not another place, it turned out to be a ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, everywhere was ruined tiles, weeds and dead trees, plaques hung obliquely on the beams, and thick dust could be seen everywhere. But this place is familiar to me, and I often came here to play when I was a child.
"How did you get here?" Erhei muttered to himself, but he was still secretly happy in his heart, at first he thought he had arrived somewhere, but he didn't go far, and he could still know the way home.
Actually, it's not that the ice dance is useless, but the ice dance really can't go far, after the body is polluted, the spiritual power in the body stagnates, and seeing that Erhei's life is in danger, he held on to his last breath and forcibly took him away. But after all, the body is already at the end of the strong crossbow, the aura is exhausted, and he can't go far, otherwise this trick "Broken Ice Starlight" is an exclusive secret technique, and if you don't want to fight for your life, you can directly escape back to Shushan.
"Oh, it's not good!" Erhei patted his head, remembering that there was still a monster lying in the temple, and quickly turned around to escape, but then he pondered carefully, he couldn't go back to his home, and the city was now in turmoil.
After thinking about it, Erhei gritted his teeth and decided to go back to see how the so-called banshee was, to see if there was any movement, and was making plans, so he set a torch on the spot, lit it with the flint in his arms, and walked into the temple step by step.
At this time, Ice Dance still fainted to the ground as always, and his consciousness couldn't distinguish things, Erhei walked over boldly, and saw that Ice Dance's hat veil was still on his head, covering his face, and he thought about it in his heart, and decided to take this opportunity to see what the true face of the monster was, after all, he had never seen a real monster in his life, and he was too curious in his heart.
If Bing Wu knew about such an idea, he would have to cut him with a sword, but who made her unconscious now, so she had to let Erhei herself. Erhei pinched his nose and endured the stench, while still complaining: "Why does this monster stink so much, could it be that it ran out of the dung pit?"
A wooden stick found out of nowhere in his hand, gently picked off the hat veil, revealing the true face of the ice dance, the aura in the ice dance's body was polluted, and he couldn't maintain the illusion of the Taoist technique, this time, against the background of the torch, the face was undoubtedly revealed.
"Oh, Mom, is this a monster?" Erhei was dumbfounded on the spot, and Bingwu's resolute face was carefully looked at by Erhei, and he was blindsided on the spot. Erhei was born poor, and he has seen the most beautiful girl in his life, but she is just the daughter of the county master, and when she was incense at the temple fair, she hid in the crowd and saw it from afar, but it was not as good as such a heroic woman like Bingwu.
"It's a pity that such a beautiful girl is a monster, if she is an ordinary person, how good it would be to be my daughter-in-law!" Erhei muttered to himself, at this time, he hadn't forgotten about marrying his daughter-in-law, but he couldn't help but sigh that Erhei was lucky, Bingwu fainted and fell to the ground, otherwise if Bingwu was sober, then I am afraid it would not be a matter of killing him with a sword.
After thinking about it, Erhei always felt that something was wrong, because when he saw the fourth uncle just now, the fourth uncle's face was really terrible, and Bing Wu finally saved himself, who was good and who was bad, he couldn't tell for a while, after thinking about it, he decided that since there was no way to go now, it was better to wake up Bing Wu first and ask for an understanding.
Since there is a plan in my heart, I will do what I say, looking at the stench of Ice Dance's whole body, Erhei vaguely remembered that there seems to be an old well in the backyard, and you can carry a bucket of water to wash Ice Dance clean, so I came to the backyard with a torch, and saw the old well in my childhood memory.
The well has been abandoned for a long time, the bucket is lying on the side of the ground and falling ashes, Erhei put the torch, picks up the bucket, hits a bucket full of well water, and then carries it back to Bingwu, looking at the Bingwu lying on the ground, without hesitation, it poured out, "bang", all poured on her.
No one is to blame, as soon as this big bucket of water washed away those dirty things, Bing Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and Erhei thought she was awake, but after waiting for a long time, there was no response, so he fetched another bucket of water and poured it on Bing Wu again.
"Click-click-click-" The well water poured on Bingwu's body began to form a thin layer of cold ice, and in the dark night, you can see a trace of cool air, Erhei looked more curious, and hurriedly went back to fetch water, so repeated one after another, and when Erhei was tired and panting, Bingwu's body was already covered with a thick layer of white ice.
"Click-" There was another sound, Erhei sat on the side to wipe his sweat, heard the sound and looked back, only to see that cracks began to appear on the ice surface, more and more, bigger and bigger, and finally, a piercing sound of breaking the ice came.
"Huh......" Bingwu sat up from the ice pile, gasped for hot breath with difficulty, his cheeks were red and red, and he supported the broken ice on the ground with his hands, and finally regained consciousness.
"This is ......" The first thing Bing Wu did when he regained consciousness was to raise his eyes and look around, and when he saw Erhei on the side clearly, he put his mind at ease and opened his mouth to Erhei and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"Are you awake?" Erhei cautiously asked, he didn't know the bottom of his heart, whether this was a human or a monster.
"Yes, wake up. Bing Wu nodded, straightened up, leaned against the wall, and asked, "What time is it?"
"The time has just arrived. ”
"Damn. Ice Dance said hatefully, "When the time passes, when I recover my mana, I have to completely eradicate this group of rats." ”
"You're a monster indeed. As soon as Erhei heard this, he hid behind the pillar in fright on the spot, "Don't kill me." ”
"Whoever is a monster, I will kill you to do anything. Bing Wu looked at him angrily, "I'm saving you, otherwise I'll splash all my dirty things on you, and then you will become a fish to be slaughtered." ”
"Help me?" Erhei hid behind the pillar and shivered, "I see that you look quite standard, but you are still a monster who loves to lie, a beautiful girl, what is wrong with it, you have to be a monster." ”
"I've said I'm not a monster, how many times do you have to say it before you believe it?"
"Then why do you freeze?"
"Ice?" Bing Wu was slightly stunned, looked down at the ice slag on the ground, and couldn't help but wonder, "What's going on with all this ice?"
"Just now I saw that you were covered in dirt, so I fetched water to help you rinse it, but the water turned into ice all over you, tell me yourself, is it a monster casting a spell?"
"Oh?" Bing Wu frowned, picked up the ice cube and took a closer look, his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did you get this water?"
"Huh? ”
"It's not good, take me to see it. Ice Dance struggled to get up from the ground, as if she had discovered something terrible.
If you want to ask why Bing Wu is so shocked, there is also a saying in this, Bing Wu himself was born in the Shushan Sword School, and his "Ice Dance Shadow" swordsmanship is famous all over the world, and he practices the exercises of the cold ice lineage. Tonight, the twelve reincarnations, the gods and Buddhas all close their eyes, so at this time, the body is polluted by the things of reincarnation, and it is not simply washed off and it will be fine, but it will be okay to wake up after half an hour of coma, and after half an hour of weakness, it will be until midnight to recover the mana, this is the only solution, there is no shortcut.
But Bing Wu found that he woke up after being washed away by the well water, and couldn't help but feel strange, although the mana has not yet recovered, but why are these well water still combined with his own exercises, reflecting each other, turning into cold ice, and maintaining himself?
There is also an allusion here, when the incense here was prosperous, it was a Buddhist temple, every day there were monks meditating and practicing, educating the world, it was said that one day, the little monk who went down the mountain accidentally found that there was an old mussel in his vegetable basket, and he was not surprised, so he returned to the temple and asked the abbot whether he should release the life back into the river, and the abbot closed his eyes for a long time before he asked: "Why do you want to release the life back into the river?"
The little monk then replied: "Mussel, born in water, and live in water, today this mussel came to my Buddhism, it is the opportunity for us to accumulate virtue and do good, release back to the river, to show the benevolence of my Buddhism." ”
"Then let me ask you, if you put it back in the river, will this mussel surely survive?" asked the abbot again.
"However, mussels are born in water, and it is natural that it is better than becoming a plate of delicacies on the table of the laity. ”
"No, if you let it go back to the river today, you don't know that tomorrow it will be fished out by others and sold again, and in the end it will not be able to escape the cycle of cause and effect, and it will become the fate of a mouthful thing. The abbot sighed, "It would be a blessing to put it back in the river? It must be a disaster if it is fished out? ”
The little monk who said that his whole body was sweating like rain, and he understood it for a long time, and he didn't know the essentials of good and evil, so he finally gave up, so he asked: "Dare to ask the master how to deal with it?"
"Well, coming to my Buddha Gate is the fate, my Buddha is vast, open the door of convenience. The abbot sighed and asked the little monk to put the old clam into the well in the courtyard to leave it alive.
In the days to come, the monks chanted the scriptures every day, participated in Zen and enlightenment, let the old clam swallow the sun and moon in the well, listen to the teachings, and finally distinguish yin and yang, and open up the wisdom. Later, the war between the two dynasties broke out, the temple was destroyed, and the monks fled, but the well was still there, and the old mussels in the well still existed, day after day, year after year, over time, the well water was not used by people every day, and was gradually assimilated by itself, dyed with a faint layer of cold and damp air, which is why it will reflect each other with the ice dance itself.
When Bing Wu and Er Hei were talking, a faint cool air began to emerge from the wellhead, and it turned out that Er Hei was drawing buckets of water one after another, which finally alarmed the old clam ......
