Beipai Tomb Raiders Notes

Chapter 264 Meeting an Old Monk in a Barren Mountain

There are several ways to go up Nanshan Mountain. For example, you can go up directly from the big steps built in Kaiyuan Square.

At that time, there was no Kaiyuan Plaza, and there was only one way to go up Nanshan, and the car could only drive to the foot of the mountain.

As for that path, it was built by the apple farmers on the mountain themselves. I imagine how remote Nanshan was at that time.

On the night road we took, the driver Hu Liqun drove for more than an hour to reach the foot of the mountain.

On the way, I saw a taxi going back and passing by our car with a license plate number ending in 27.

When the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, the driver said, "Do you have a flashlight and no brother? How do you see the road in the dark?"

I said I really didn't have one, and I didn't bring it with me when I went out.

"Then you use mine."

He took out a flashlight from his pocket.

"Then thank you Brother Hu, how can I pay you back? How about I give you 100 yuan and treat it as if I bought it."

"Hey, what are you buying or not? Are you going back or not? It's clean here, and I'm a little sleepy after working two night shifts. I'll squat at the foot of the mountain for a while, waiting for you."

I said yes, I will return later.

After saying hello, I closed the car door and started up the mountain with a flashlight.

Not only is it cold at night in winter, but there is also a lot of moisture on the mountain.

This mountain path is overgrown with weeds, and when I walked halfway up the mountain, there was a faint mist. I looked back at the halfway up the mountain with my hand on the power station, and felt that here and Xianyang City under the night were two worlds.

"Hold on, have you fallen asleep yet?"

"Yunfeng, I just lay down. There have been too many things recently, and I can't sleep well. How is it with you?"

I glanced at the top of the mountain and said, "Hold on, it's just as you guessed, Grandma Baiyanqiong may have a problem, I'm going to talk to her for two days to see what's going on."

"Well, be smart. I missed one thing before. Tian Sanjiu may find out. If he finds out, maybe he will go ahead of us in the next step. Now it's a race, we have to be fast."

"What are you talking about?"

"Hey...."

Sighing his head, he said: "Wang Xinggui is not afraid of death, he would not open his mouth even if he died, but I ignored one of his weaknesses. According to the news, Tian Sanjiu may be looking for where Wang Xiaoqin is buried."

"Based on Tian Sanjiu's method, if he found it, he would dig out Wang Xiaoqin's skull and use it as a bowl... Do you think Wang Xinggui would speak up?"

My scalp felt numb after hearing this, I knew Tian Sanjiu really dared to do such a thing.

"Hold your head, hold your head?"

While talking, my mobile phone suddenly turned off with a black screen, and when I turned it on again, it showed that there was only a little battery.

Putting away my phone, I continued to walk up the mountain with a flashlight. When I passed by the apple field, I saw a few straw men planted in the field. The scarecrows had white plastic bags on their heads, and they were blown by the night wind, whirring.

Climbing the mountain is very tiring, and my physical strength is not as good as that of Brother Yu. I sighed at the moment, this old lady has too much physical strength, and she came to climb the mountain in the middle of the night at such an age. I don’t know if she flew up from the foot of the mountain thinking about her toes.

When I went up the mountain, I saw a small temple not far from the north. There might be no electricity in the temple. The two broken doors were closed, and it was dark and quiet.

When I walked to the temple gate, I was just about to reach out to knock on the door, but after a second thought, I withdrew my hand.

I went around the small temple, chose a place, climbed over the wall and turned in.

There are two rooms in the temple, one is slightly larger and the other is slightly smaller. The larger room is bright, probably because candles are lit in the room.

I leaned over lightly and peeked into the room secretly.

There are two people in the room.

Two candles were lit in front of the statue of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva. The old lady was kneeling on the futon. Beside her stood a very old monk. The old monk had his eyes closed and was very short. Wearing a cloth hat.

The old monk closed his eyes and said in an old voice: "Hui Lan, this is the last incense stick before the year."

"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, my Buddha is merciful, I can't bear to see all living beings suffer, the door of Buddhism has been opened for you."

The old lady knelt on the futon, clasped her hands together, and looked up at the clay sculpture of Wei Tuo reflected in the flames.

After a few minutes, a smile appeared on the old lady's face.

"Master, you are right, I saw the gate of my Buddha."

"For so many years, whenever the night is quiet, I have been feeling guilty and blaming myself. I started to eat vegetarian food, chant Buddha, and do good deeds when I was 40 years old. Now I am 71 years old. 31 years ago, I let go today."

Although the old man still had his eyes closed, there seemed to be a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Amitabha...."

"Hui Lan, the fate between you and Bai Benefactor is over in this life. Although you are strangers, you can still grow old together. There is only one chance, and when the chance comes, we will know each other in the next life."

Hearing this, the old lady showed a smile on her face.

The old monk lit three sticks of incense with the flame of a candle, and raised his hands and inserted them into the incense burner in front of the statue of Wei Tuo.

Seeing that he turned his head to come out after finishing the incense, I hurriedly hid in the corner.

"Squeak..."

The old monk pushed the door out and closed the door again, leaving the old lady alone in the room.

I was afraid of being discovered and dared not look outside.

Just then, I suddenly heard a voice say:

"Benefactor, don't hide."

"Benefactor? Who is it called?"

"You're not calling me, are you?"

Before I could react, the old monk suddenly walked up to me and was startled.

"Almighty, it's cold, you might as well come into the house with me to enjoy the fire."

Now that I have been seen, I am no longer hiding.

I gave a salute and said, "Well, master, I'm here to find Grandma Zhang," and I pointed to the hut after I finished speaking.

The old monk shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't bother her. If you have any questions in your mind, I will help you answer them."

I glanced at the hut with the closed door, and went to another room with the old monk.

There is no furniture, the decoration is very simple, only a water tank, a pit, a table and a few chairs.

There was a fire in the room, and it was brighter than the light outside, so I could see the old monk's face clearly.

In addition to being short and wrinkled with closed eyes, I also noticed that the old monk had two small eyes under his earlobes.

I couldn't help but ask: "Well..... I take the liberty to ask the master, are you male or female?"

Realizing that my words might sound harsh, I hurriedly added, "Don't think too much, I'm just asking casually, you don't have to answer."

"Hehe...it doesn't matter."

The old monk smiled and answered me: "What about a man, what about a girlfriend? A man has a female body, and a female has a male appearance, just like the Wei Tuo Bodhisattva in the house. , there is no need to divide."

"Stop talking about Huilan, benefactor, let's talk about you."

"Talk about me? What can I talk about? You don't seem to know me?" I didn't understand this.

The old monk nodded and continued to say, "I don't know you, but I can see that you are burdened with karma and sins. My Buddha said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Donor, if you stay in my Wei Tuomiao, Can escape the calamity of this life."

"what?"

I understood it this time, so I quickly waved my hands and said forget it.

Good guy, you old monk made me, Xiang Yunfeng, a monk to become a young monk.

That's okay, a person should live a life of chicness, I'm not married yet, and I haven't spent so much money in my card, forget it, forget it, let's pull you down.

After hearing what I said, the old monk smiled and shook his head, as if he had expected that I would say that.

After roasting for a while, he suddenly said: "The time has come, let's go see Huilan."

Follow him out, to the door, the old monk stopped outside the house for 2 minutes, and slowly pushed open the wooden door with both hands.

The candles lit in the house did not know when they were extinguished, and they could not be seen in the dark, but the burning fragrance in the room could be smelled.

I stretched out my hand and said, "It's too dark, master. Is there a light? If there is no light, just light a candle."

A cluster of flames lit up in the darkness, and the old monk struck a match casually.

He lit a candle with a match, and the room gradually became brighter.

"I!"

The moment I just lit the candle, when I saw the scene in the room, I immediately backed away in fright, my face turned pale!

A thick rope was hung from the beam of the house, and it was tied in a knot. The old lady's neck was looped, her hands were drooping, her head was turned to one side, and her face was white and purple!Hanged...

"Save... quickly save people!"

I came to my senses and ran over to save him.

The old monk stopped me, he said: "No need to be a benefactor, it's already too late."

I stared blankly at the hanged old lady.

The hanged person can't stick out his tongue, and his eyes are closed, but his face is purple.

"donor."

At this time, the old monk reached out and took out a piece of paper from his clothes, which was folded into small squares.

He stretched out his hand to me and said, "Hui Lan has seen it, everything is over, she has nothing to do with this thing, so I will leave it to you."

I took the note and opened it to see that there were two lines of small characters written like this on it.

"The Iron Buddha is here."

"South Factory Area, Old Textile Room, Basement 6, Warehouse No. [-], Cotton Pile."
