We met Hui Gen'er in X County. That place was the place Hui Gen'er and I agreed on because it was close to our next destination, the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
When I saw Hui Gen'er, she was leaning in a grocery store, holding a bottle of Coke in her hand, chewing crispy peanuts on her lips, smiling and talking to a woman in the grocery store.
He looked very happy. After seeing him for a month, his delicate appearance became more and more delicate. He was not as rough as he was when he was eighteen years old. At that time, there would still be one or two pimples, but now there are no more. He has a beautiful face. My son has regained the egg whites he had when he was a child, and this kid will grow in reverse.
The woman he was facing, no, to be precise, it should be a girl, also looked very happy, laughing like silver bells from time to time, and her eyes looking at Hui Gen'er became softer and softer.
Next to him and the girl, there was an old man looking at them helplessly. We couldn't figure out what this magical scene was about.
But Brother Chengxin was standing next to me. When he saw this scene, his face darkened, his eyes flashed under his glasses, and he said to me in a cold tone: "Chengyi, Hui Gen'er is going to fight with me." More charming? He has forgotten his identity as a monk."
Then, a drop of cold sweat flowed down my forehead and onto my face. Brother Chengxin’s perspective on observing things was indeed unique.
Since I couldn't answer the call, I could only lead Brother Chengxin to Hui Gen'er quickly. As for the others who were tired from the journey, I asked them to go to a booked hotel to rest first.
"Brother!" As the distance got closer, Hui Gen'er finally saw me and Brother Chengxin, grinned, ran in front of me, and then hugged my shoulders.
Put your arm around my shoulders? I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. When I was a child, I held his hand, and when I grew up, I held his arms. Why, after not seeing each other for a month, did he hold my arms instead
At this time, I was shocked to realize that Hui Gen'er had not been seen for a month and had grown taller for no reason. Could it be related to that secret technique
However, now is not the time to ask questions, and Brother Chengxin next to me is staring at Hui Gen'er with an expression that looks like he might explode at any moment. I can only smile and say to Hui Gen'er, "Have we been waiting for a long time? Are you leaving now?"
Hui Gen'er said carelessly: "It won't be long, it's just that the matter was completed ahead of schedule, so I arrived three days early."
"Aren't you bored these three days?" Brother Chengxin said in a strange way.
"Haha, it's not boring. I will come here every day to wait for you and chat with the boss's daughter. It's quite fun." After saying that, Hui Gen'er paused and said to me: "Brother, I'm going to have a fight with someone else." Hello, let’s go.”
After saying that, Hui Gen'er ran to the grocery store and said to the people inside: "The person I was waiting for is here. I have been bothering you these past few days. I'm leaving now. If you come here again in the future, I will come back to take care of your business." .”
"Are we leaving now? We...do you remember the phone number of our store, right? We can contact him in the future." A girl's voice came from the grocery store, quite reluctantly.
"Monks are at home all over the world. Everything is predestined. We will meet again in the future if we are predestined." Hui Gen'er said seriously.
"Are you a monk?" The girl's voice suddenly became extremely surprised.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has been a monk for sixteen years." Hui Gen'er chanted a Buddha's name, and then casually took off the peaked cap on his head, revealing a bald head
"You...you are actually a monk, how can you..."
"Daughter, I said, where did you come from? You are so happy chatting with others every day, and you even have your thoughts. I said... Hey, daughter, where are you going?"
There were two voices talking in the grocery store. Brother Chengxin and I felt awkward for a moment, but Huigen'er looked calm and a little ignorant. He put on his hat and walked towards me and Brother Chengxin. .
I coughed and said to Hui Gen'er angrily: "What are you doing, kid? Since you are a monk, why do you mess with girls?"
Hui Gen'er said with an innocent face: "I didn't provoke you. I am calm in my heart. Master once said that you should treat people with sincerity and truth. When I talk to her, everything is sincere, and the occasional concern is also I really care, why have all these interactions between people turned into provocation?”
I couldn't answer it all at once. Do I have to tell Hui Gen'er that there are too many precautions and hypocrisy in communication in this world, as well as too much malice and speculation. Your sincerity and sincerity can easily impress others, especially girls. You have to pretend to be fake with others. Talk a little? As soon as you see a woman, go up and chant a Buddhist name, show your bald head, and tell others that you are a great monk.
After all, it is the problem left in this world!
Not only was I speechless, Brother Chengxin was also speechless. After that, Brother Chengxin could only say to Hui Gen'er with a tigerish face: "Anyway, don't talk to girls anymore. Don't Buddhists know the precepts?"
"I understand, Brother Chengxin, I just saw that this place is close to that lake, so I wanted to ask about that lake when I had nothing to do." Hui Gen'er said with an aggrieved look.
"Did you find out anything?" I asked casually, not wanting to dwell on this issue forever.
"There's something strange going on. I heard that strange murders happen every year or every two years in this county. I don't know if it's a coincidence or it's related to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts..." Hui Gen'er began to ramble.
Under the setting sun, the three of us gradually faded away, and a new journey was about to begin.
--------Dividing line--------
The strange death cases in the county that Hui Gen'er mentioned did not attract much attention from Brother Chengxin and I. After all, some of the situations he mentioned were man-made cases that had already been solved.
Besides, in this land of China, many murders occur in every city every year. It makes no sense to reluctantly connect the events in this county with the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
We have just heard of these exaggerated private cases mentioned by Hui Gen'er as anecdotes and sighed a few times.
Everyone got together to have dinner, and then went back to their rooms to rest. Some of the things they decided to hear about Gray Eyed Man before departure were also decided to be postponed for tomorrow. After all, they were a little too tired from running around these days.
But I didn’t forget to tell Xiao Chengqian that the reason why Hui Gener disappeared for a month was because of the blood tattoo on his body.
Speaking of which, it was a blessing in disguise because of the kid incident. Hui Gen'er was seriously injured that time and lost a lot of blood, but it somehow promoted the fusion of the blood tattoo on his body with him. This incident has not happened many times in the history of Buddhism. times, so it didn’t attract everyone’s attention at first.
It wasn't until more than a month ago, a few days after we set out, that Hui Gen'er suddenly showed fever all over his body, and sometimes he started to feel a little confused and said that his strength seemed to have increased a lot, which attracted our attention.
These symptoms were originally very similar to those of a fever, but Brother Chengxin, as the inheritor of medical pulse, rejected this possibility after taking Huigen'er's pulse. However, he could not find the cause, so he could only seek help through certain contact methods. Hui Gen'er's uncle.
As a result, after a lot of trouble, we found out that the blood tattoo on Hui Gen'er's body was further integrated with him. No wonder when he was talking nonsense, he said that the nature of the soul's nature was recognized, and the opportunity came or something.
Obviously, this kind of thing attracted the attention of Hui Gen'er's master. The next day, they sent someone to pick up Hui Gen'er. They said that this kind of situation is rare in almost three hundred years. If the integration goes smoothly, Hui Gen'er can Through the secret method and receiving another blood tattoo, Hui Gen'er will really be the real fighting Arhat monk who could only appear in the mysterious temple for three hundred years!
It sounds very miraculous. This Buddhist method of improvement really makes me, a Taoist boy, envious! Speaking of which, it's not that Taoism doesn't have methods of rapid improvement, but it's just that they all tend to be 'evil ways' and can easily have unstable foundations. How can there be a method of improvement like Hui Gen'er that can lead to uprightness
In fact, the conditions are extremely harsh. Hui Gen'er just meets the conditions for blood tattoo inheritance. Even Uncle Hui can't do this!
The night was quiet. Hui Gen'er was the type who fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow. I didn't know if I was too tired from the journey and had some insomnia. I couldn't fall asleep. I could only get up and look out the window. Start to stay.
It was dark outside the window, but the crescent moon was not bright. It looked a little blurry, but it reminded me of the first time I saw Li Fengxian possessing my second sister in the cemetery when I was a child. Seed Moon.
Looking at this, I couldn't help but feel a little funny. Because we are close to the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, how much does the moon here seep through
The Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts, this lake is very famous in the circle, but ordinary people may not know about this lake. They often think that this lake is a big lake where a certain gathering of innocent ghosts happened. This is actually a wrong statement.
Ghosts like water. Someone once said that if there is a space like hell, or if it coexists with the world of living people in which we live, then should we consider that it is actually in the water? After all, 70% of our planet is covered by water. Even if humans invented various ships, there are still many places in the water that are restricted to us.
It is not surprising that the innocent souls gathered in Lake X, triggering various speculations and rumors among the people. There were too many people who died unjustly in that era. There is a large lake there, and ghosts like water. It is not surprising that nothing happened.
Even in an ordinary city, many ghosts and ghosts like to gather in the water. Therefore, there is a small taboo, that is, don't play in the water or swim at night. It is easy to get into trouble and see things you shouldn't see.
But the Lake of Ten Thousand Ghosts is not something that can be explained simply by ghosts loving the water. Thinking of this, my heart felt a little heavy and I couldn't help but light up a cigarette.
He didn't even notice that a light inexplicably lit up in the darkness not far away, followed by screams, and then the noisy sounds of life.
