After Gao Ying heard these words, he began to look carefully at Jiao Chaoming in front of him.
"That's right..." He suddenly felt that he had no way to refute Jiao Chaoming.
A month ago, there was almost no word "trouble" in his life. In everyone's eyes, Gao Ying is an undoubted winner in life. He is proficient in various subjects and can speak fluent English. His college entrance examination choice is the journalism department of Fudan University. His life was full of shining light. At that time, death was such a distant word from Gao Ying, as far away as the distance between the earth and the sun.
Frankly speaking, for a person like Gao Ying who has hardly experienced any major life setbacks, it is not easy for him to survive such a sudden change until now without breaking down. Even so, between life and death, he did gradually become numb to the danger of death. The glorious years of being a top student seem to be something from a previous life, like... the distance between the earth and the sun. The only thing that really supports him now is the path to eternal life.
"Do you long to live forever, Tall Shadow?"
Seeing Gao Ying's silence, Jiao Chaoming suddenly raised this somewhat nonsensical question.
Gao Ying was taken aback, he didn't quite understand what Jiao Chaoming meant.
"you… "
"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Gao Ying and Jiao Chaoming scanned all the furnishings in the house.
This room obviously has a lot of furniture, not to mention the tables and chairs, there is also an ink painting on the wall. Gao Ying noticed that the brushwork of this painting is by no means a novice's work, it should be someone with a lot of painting skills affectation.
But... If you look closely, you will find that there are some yellow talisman papers pasted on the four corners of the walls, including the ceiling of the sky. It was not the first time Gao Ying had seen such a picture.
But soon... His gaze suddenly noticed... a standing... cabinet in the room!
When Gao Ying saw this cabinet, Gao Ying immediately became short of breath!
"It's...it!"
Fill in the blank first question!
The big scarlet chest...
At this time, the moonlight shines in through the window, reflecting on the lock of the cabinet... a lifelike dragon is embroidered impressively!
A lock with a dragon pattern! The scarlet chest! This is exactly the same as the first question of the fill-in-the-blank question!
Jiao Chaoming also looked in the direction of the cabinet, obviously, he had noticed this too.
For the fill-in-the-blank questions, you need to... fill in what is in the cabinet!
(There's... what in it!)
Gao Ying swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Although there was a lock on the cabinet, the lock had basically fallen off at this time, and there was no problem in opening the cabinet. As long as you open the cabinet, you can know what is inside. But the problem is...
Just open the cabinet like this, what will be inside? ?
Gao Ying was not sure that he could answer the test paper quickly after seeing the things in the cabinet!
So... what to do
Gao Ying and Jiao Chaoming exchanged glances. Although the two did not speak, the meaning was self-evident.
Open the locker? Still don't open the cabinet
If the door of the cabinet is opened, at such a close distance, if there is a vicious and cruel terrifying devil inside, then... the consequences will be disastrous!
Gao Ying stared at the cabinet in front of him at this moment, and couldn't help thinking, what should he do
Jiao Chaoming glanced at him, and suddenly said with a playful look: "You dare not?"
Just as Gao Ying was about to say something, Jiao Chaoming waved his hand.
"The first time I saw you, I knew... You are a completely different type of person from me. You have completely failed to see clearly the price of the so-called eternal life."
"It's two different things..."
"Actually, I don't want to live forever, but... For me, living is also a very luxurious thing."
survive
extravagant thing
Gao Ying watched Jiao Chaoming carefully. Could it be that he has some kind of hidden disease, which will cause him to die soon? But if this is the case, he should be treated in the hospital. Why do he still have to take the college entrance examination
Jiao Chaoming walked towards the cabinet in front of him step by step, without any hesitation in his steps!
At this time, the most sensible thing for Gao Ying to do is to stay where he is and enjoy the benefits. As long as Jiao Chaoming opens the cabinet, he can immediately record the answer. If there is really a terrifying devil inside, he can escape immediately. later.
"Wait, no!"
Gao Ying suddenly felt that it was inappropriate to just open the cabinet door like this, so he walked forward quickly in two steps in three steps, and grabbed Jiao Chaoming's wrist!
"What do you say can't do it?"
Jiao Chaoming turned his head, still with a calm expression on his face, and asked.
"If you want to live, why are you so reckless?"
For more than a month, Gao Ying has fully experienced the despair of struggling to survive and dancing with the god of death. Many times he missed a move and would go to the underworld like Xu Yudan and Hou Mingbo. Here, every step you take, you have to walk on thin ice and solve problems, which is unlikely to be so simple and rude.
"Yes, I... want to live."
Jiao Chaoming chewed the word like he was babbling, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the word.
"You said, you have encountered something more terrifying than the devil? No matter what it is, if you want to live, you can't be reckless!"
In fact, Gao Ying couldn't say that it was entirely for Jiao Chaoming's sake. After all, he didn't know what was inside the cabinet after it was opened. If a devil is really released, and this devil will kill them, even if he escapes, how safe is he really? So he stopped Jiao Chaoming's recklessness, and it was also for himself. Otherwise, if it is really just Jiao Chaoming's own life and death, then he can be responsible for it himself.
"If we don't open the cabinet, and we don't have X-rays for our eyes, how can we know what's inside?"
Gao Ying looked at the cabinet, thought for a while, and said, "Continue to explore this room, I think we can find some clues!"
Clues... yes! clue!
On the surface, opening the cabinet is the safest way, but it is also the most dangerous way. Frankly speaking, Gao Ying felt that it was not advisable. However, the exam will definitely give the examinee a safe way to solve the problem (for example, Han Xiaoyan's exam paper was directly sent to his face before), then the clue is very likely to be in the room!
He wants to find that clue!
After hearing Gao Ying's words, Jiao Chaoming seemed to think it made sense, so he was also convinced.
"Then... let's look for clues here."
Next to the cabinet is a door. After opening the door, there is an inner room, and the room is quite spacious. Inside, there is also a bookshelf with several books on it.
Gao Ying walked up and took a closer look... These books are actually...
"Biography of Feng Shui Theory", "History of the Rise and Fall of Zhengdao", "Hundred Demon-Repelling Talismans of Ming and Qing Dynasties", "Funjin Dingxue Dafa", "True Explanation of Maoshan Nine Dao Techniques", the most exaggerated thing is that there is actually a copy Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio.
Most of these books were related to feng shui, exorcism, and Taoism, and Gao Ying roughly flipped through them... Although he didn't have much research on Taoism, it was obviously nonsense. What is the true explanation of Maoshan Taoism? At the beginning of the book, it says "The way of heaven is more than enough to damage and make up for what is not enough. Therefore, the emptiness wins the reality, and the deficiency is more than enough. Its meaning is broad, its reasoning is profound, its interest is deep, and the image of heaven and earth is divided." , the sequence of yin and yang, the appearance of change, the sign of death and life"... It seems to be true, but for Gao Ying, who has an unforgettable memory, he can see at a glance that this is "Nine Yins" compiled by Jin Yong. The content of the Bible! Then there are the five elements, the five ghosts transporting technique, and all kinds of messy content...
However, although the content of the book is absurd, no one can guarantee that there are no clues here. So, Gao Ying came to the window and looked carefully at the moonlight. Of course, at this time, let Jiao Chaoming watch the wind, after all, there is a cabinet that may have a devil outside, and no one dares not to take his own life seriously at this time.
Gao Ying flipped the pages of the book lightly, carefully examining the words on it. When I turned to a certain page, some comments and notes appeared on it.
(Could the curse suffered by this village be related to this? Is there really some kind of Taoism in this book, and when the villagers practiced Taoism, they attracted monsters?)
Frankly speaking, Gao Ying was also confused, but he always felt that it was not that simple, so he continued to check.
The content of the comment is "Things that damage the yin will inevitably damage the life of the yang", "If you want to crack it, you must take the road of cultivation."
Monasticism
Gao Ying sneered in his heart, if he really succeeded in cultivating the Tao, how could the whole village be wiped out, and no one survived being killed by this curse? But when it comes to superstition, he doesn't dare to assert, isn't the devil also superstitious
Whether cultivating the Tao is real or not, let’s not discuss it for now. What Gao Ying cared more about was the "damaging things".
What is a bad thing
The third one is here! Ask for the first order!
There will never be a plot of cultivating Taoism in this book, so you can rest assured!
