Daming's Bizarre Story: Painted Skin

Unfolding the bamboo slips clearly, I saw a section of self-report on it: I have practiced Taoism for ten years, although I can't overcome yin and yang, the technique of talisman frames, and can't suppress ghosts, but I am good at Buddhist music.According to the Buddha's voice, people in this world are not only divided into ordinary people, but also have two types.One is the opposite, one comes from the past, and the other comes from the future, they are born relative to each other.The second is the phantom person, the phantom person and the past and future people mutually restrain each other, and the phantom person can be replaced by the opposite living person, and the world will be different again.

At the end of the bamboo slips, a line of small characters was added with a red pen: Find the order of the present, the only way out for the living.

(Note: I have practiced Taoism for ten years. Although I am not good at yin and yang, nor am I proficient in talisman and exorcising ghosts, but I can talk to Buddha. To summarize the content of the Buddha's dialogue, there are two kinds of people in this world besides aliens and mortals. Humans, one type is the opposite living, one is the person from the past, and the other is the person from the future, they are born relative to each other, and the second type is the illusory person, the illusory person is born from the opposite They are born together, but they are mutually restraining. The living person can be replaced by the phantom person. If the phantom person replaces the living person, the world will change accordingly. Finding the current time order is the only way for the living person to survive. )

After Zhaoran finished reading the last line, many thoughts turned in his mind. The first thought was that Shen Fangji was deceived by people like the Buddha's mother. If you are a human being, it is impossible to be easily deceived, let alone Shen Fangji's self-reported conversation with Buddha Yin for ten years.

And in such a long time, according to such a smart person as Shen Fangji, he will definitely seek evidence from many sources.

Zhao Ran involuntarily touched the token at his waist, he and Shen Fangji each hold half a token, does it mean that he and Shen Fangji are opposite living.

He couldn't help but look at Jiuru, only to find that Jiuru was looking at Shen Fangji, as if fascinated.

"You...recognize him?" Of course Zhaoran knew that Jiuru recognized Shen Fangji.

Jiuru retracted his gaze and said, "He is Shen Fangji from Luozi Peak."

Zhao Ran still wanted to inquire, but Jiu Ru changed the subject: "After reading the bamboo slips, what do you say?"

"Look for yourself." Zhaoran handed the bamboo slips to Jiuru.

Jiuru took the bamboo slips and glanced at them for a while and said, "To the living? To the phantom?"

"Have you ever heard of these two types of people?"

Jiuru shook his head, closed the bamboo slips and handed them back to Zhaoran: "Shen Fangji has always been meticulous and thoughtful in doing things, I'm afraid it's not in vain, I'll inquire carefully when I get back."

Zhaoran had never heard Jiu Ru praise anyone, so he couldn't help asking sourly, "What about me?"

Jiu Ru glanced at him and gave a faint "hmm" before saying nothing.

The level of his attitude is so high or low that a blind person can see it. It is obvious that his heart feels like he has overturned a bucket of vinegar, and the root of his tongue is sore.

Jiuru said: "There is another layer above, do you want to see it?"

Clearly said: "There is another layer on top?"

Jiu Ru looked at the ceiling and said, "According to this height, it should be like this!"

Before Zhaoran could answer, a footstep voice came from the cave below: "Rong Xian, where are you?"

----

Zhao Ran hesitated for a moment, no matter whether it was suitable for the two of them to know about it, since Shen Fangji was also their senior brother, and had been missing for almost six years, there was no reason not to let them know the news of his death.

"We're on top!" Zhao Ran still responded.

"We found a lot of gold bricks below." Zuyin's tone was full of joy, "What did you find above?"

Zhao Ran said: "You...you will know when you come up and have a look."

"coming!"

Zhaoran suddenly heard a sound behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw Jiu Ru throwing the fire bag on Shen Fangji's body, and Shen Fangji's body quickly burst into flames.

When Zu Yin and Chong Er climbed up from below, what they saw was the raging fire in the coffin.

Zhao Ran was tongue-tied, it seemed that Jiu Ru didn't want them to know that Shen Fangji was dead.

"Why is there a fire in this coffin?" Zuyin wondered.

Zhao Ran had no choice but to pick up the golden mask in his hand and said, "I don't know, we found this in the coffin, and as soon as we picked it up, the coffin caught fire."

"This, could it be the mask of General Taiyin?!" Zuyin said in surprise.

Chong Er covered his nose and said, "Who is in this coffin?"

Jiuru replied smoothly: "It's Hou Jingyuan!"

Zhaoran couldn't help but glanced at Jiuru, and suddenly found that Jiuru could tell lies, and he said it very realistically.

But Zuyin suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that the princess mansion is connected to the cemetery. Li Mo took the golden mask and dedicated it to Wang Zeng, the son-in-law. Wang Zeng didn't present the mask to the emperor, but secretly used it on his father." , since the Taiyin General's uniform can bring the dead back to life, it must have the effect of reversing the flow of time, but unfortunately this item is not complete, so it is no wonder that the time is lost."

He seemed to be very concerned about this thing, but after all, he discovered it clearly, and he couldn't open his mouth, so he just asked: "It's pretty good, do you want this thing?"

Zhao Ran looked at Jiuru: "My friend discovered this...you have to ask him."

Jiu Ru shook his head lightly, and whispered in his ear, "As you wish."

General Taiyin's uniform can bring the dead back to life, such a treasure, if Jiuru says he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it, and he is not interested in it at all, so he clearly admires it.

Zuyin whispered: "What does he mean?"

"What he means is...he doesn't care, we can figure it out."

Zuyin flipped over the mask of General Taiyin and said, "Only my master has studied this thing... You trust me, so I'll show it to my master first."

Clearly unwilling to let Jiuru take it lightly, he casually threw it to Zuyin and said, "There is nothing unbelievable about this, show it to your master."

Zuyin thumped his shoulder and said: "Brother saw you right, I fell in love with you as soon as I saw you."

Looking at the golden mask in his hand, Zhao Ran felt pain in his heart, thinking that even if it is fake, this craftsmanship is worth a lot of money, but he forced a smile on his face and said: "Children of the Jianghu, let's talk about love and not bargain!"

Foot voice said loudly: "That's right!"

Zhaoran glanced at Jiuru, who knew that Jiuru only looked at the fire in the coffin and didn't even glance at him, so he couldn't help being a little discouraged.

The fire burns quickly, but it seems clear in the fire that it has been sucked into another memory.

A young man in white bowed slightly to Jiuru: "Sir, the homework that the student handed in recently has improved."

Jiu Ru smiled and said, "Ah Xian has made great progress, and his writing is very good."

The young man in white smiled and said, "Master Yang Wan gave me a nickname, Fang Ji, sir, you can call me Fang Ji from now on."

Jiuru nodded and said, "Alright."

Zuyin patted Zhao Ran on the shoulder and said, "Hey, let's take a look again, it's impossible for only one corpse to be hidden in the main tomb."

Zhao Ran suddenly came to his senses. When Zhao Tianci was dying, he also saw the memory. At that time, Su Jing, who was very similar to Jiuru, commented that Zhao Tianci was crazy, but in Fang Ji's memory, Jiuru was right. His appreciation is beyond words.

And is he more like Zhao Tianci, or more like Shen Fangji?

Obviously, he knew the answer without asking, and Zhao Ran was so annoyed that he wanted to chew a piece of meat too.

----

Just as Zuyin was about to start walking, Jiuru suddenly said to Zhaoran, "Tell him to stop."

"Stop!"

Zuyin turned his head and said, "Why?"

Chong'er pricked up his ears and said, "There's something coming from the next door!"

Just as they were talking, they saw the wall start to thud, and within a few thuds, the wall was broken, like a broken shell, and many huge dog heads came out of the hole. They had pangolin-like bodies, and their movements Get out of the hole quickly.

Zuyin screamed: "Oh my god, what the hell is this!"

"Let's go!" Jiuru shouted, surrounded by dog-headed pangolins coming out of the wall, he stomped hard, and the surrounding floor cracked and collapsed, and below were the two statues of fixed soul corpses.

Jiuru shouted: "Go down!"

Zhaoran quickly jumped onto the corpse statue and climbed down. Fortunately, those cloth strips were not difficult to climb. The footsteps and accents also jumped onto the corpse statue one after another. Jiu Ru waited for everyone to leave, then stomped his feet again The surrounding bricks flew out, and several dog-headed pangolins fell directly to the lower floor with the coffin.

Flesh and flames splattered.

Jiuru jumped down, and when he passed by Zhaoran, he grabbed his arm and jumped down. Zhaoran saw the dog-headed pangolins crawling extremely fast, and was almost catching up with the last footsteps, so he quickly shouted: "Save them!" !"

"Hold on firmly!" Jiuru placed Zhaoran on the corpse statue, and came to Zuyin and the others, took off Chong'er's belt, rolled him up and threw him off the statue: "Let's go! "

Chong'er who landed had no choice but to run with his trousers in his hands, and the sound of his footsteps was lost. Chong'er said angrily, "Why do you use my belt?"

"Because your belt is the longest!" Zuyin didn't forget to strike Chong'er at this time.

The two wanted to go to the gold brick box on the ground behind them, so they shouted clearly: "I don't want the gold bricks anymore! Run!"

Zuyin looked at the box of gold bricks and had to give up, but he couldn't bear it after all, stuffed three or four pieces into the bag in a hurry, Chonger was about to pull up his trousers, his ears turned red with jealousy.

The four of them ran back and forth, and the passageway behind them was covered with dog-headed pangolins. They were already running slowly, but they took three or four gold bricks with them, and ran even slower. They were soon overtaken by a dog-headed pangolin. Furious, he took out a gold brick and smashed it on the dog's head: "I'll let you chase after his grandma's!"

Unexpectedly, when the dog opened its mouth, only half of the gold brick in his hand was left.

Zuyin opened his mouth wide, watching the dog's head rush forward, and saw a light feather shoot out, sinking into the dog's head's forehead like black smoke.

Jiu Ru turned around and shot an arrow, the shock to Zuyin was no less than that of a dog's head: "Luo, Luomo bow."

"Run!" Zhaoran said to the footsteps who were rolled up by the belt again.

No matter how reluctant he was, Zuyin had no choice but to polish the gold along the way, and Jiuru kept using the Falling Demon Bow to stop the pangolin's attack.

The four of them ran to the entrance of the cave they came in first, and Jiu Ru threw them upwards forcefully.

At this time, pangolins had already attacked them like a blanket, and even though Jiuru was superb in martial arts, almost all of them were dog-headed pangolins under their feet.

Zhaoran moved his hands and feet to the top of Chong'er.

Chong Er carried his trousers and ran no slower than anyone else, but when it came time to climb the wall, he was in short supply. Seeing that the dog-headed pangolin was about to catch up, he had to give up his trousers and choose to escape.

Those pangolins who were chasing after Zhaoran were also attracted by Chonger. Zhaoran had a bone, and it was extremely slippery, and it was hard to eat, but Chonger was different, not to mention his bare white butt, which was as attractive as a white steamed bun. .

The pangolins chased and bit Chong'er's buttocks, Chong'er was so angry that his teeth were itching, he was helpless, when he suddenly saw a belt hanging down from it, he stretched out and grabbed the belt with great joy, and pulled Chong'er out of the hole with force. The two fell off their backs together.

Jiu Ru jumped out of the cave at last, and pressed the switch quickly with his footsteps, but at the moment when the screen wall closed, another dog-headed pangolin jumped out and fell in Zhaoran's direction. Jiu Ru blocked Zhaoran and hit the dog's head with a punch , the pangolin was knocked out, and when it landed, everyone realized that its head was almost punched into the chest by Jiuru.

Zuyin swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and the few people were shocked for a while, but then they heard a loud bang.

"The bottom has collapsed!" Zhao Ran shouted, and they quickly retreated out of the yard.

Sure enough, the ground cracked in an instant, the house collapsed, and it was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

The few people looked at the brick walls that kept collapsing, and they felt a little terrified. If they slowed down for a while, they might also be crushed under the rubble together with those dog-headed pangolins.

The last four got the mask of General Taiyin.

Zuyin glanced at Jiuru, honestly took out the golden mask, and offered it with both hands.

Jiu Ru glanced at the mask and said, "Take it."

Zuyin hurriedly said: "Subordinates dare not hold such an important thing."

Chong'er said angrily: "But didn't you just say that Buddha's martial arts are not as good as Li Mo, a mere little devil?"

"When did I say that!" Zu Yin wanted to bite Chong'er.

"You have! You told the owner of the inn when you went out this time that Buddha's practice is unclean. A few days ago, he was injured because he was competing with others for the oiran of the art workshop, so he hid in the National Teacher Pagoda to recuperate!"

Zhao Ran couldn't help but look at the sound of footsteps in admiration.

With a roar from Zuyin, he rushed forward and wrestled with Chong Er and the other two, Zhao Ran was about to step forward to persuade him, but Jiu Ru held him back, and saw that the two brothers fought farther and farther away, and suddenly the two of them He jumped into the distance, and after a few jumps, there was no trace, not even the golden mask left behind.

"This...really..." Zhao Ran was speechless.

In fact, Zuyin ran far away, and looked behind him a little guilty, "We ran away, what should we do with Rong Xian?"

Chong'er pulled a piece of meat and took a bite, angrily said: "That kid, it's probably not a good thing!"

----

The moon was sinking, they walked towards the way they came from, and as they walked, they saw that the muddy path under their feet was replaced by a bluestone road, and the sound of birds and insects chirping on the streets at dawn made them feel peaceful, and they yawned clearly, wandering their eyes. I looked around to see what was delicious, I was really hungry this evening.

However, he turned his head and saw Jiuru was looking at the sun, so he stretched his neck to have a look: "What are you looking at?"

"Looking at it is another new day." Jiu Ru said.

Zhao Ran hurriedly replied, "What a beautiful morning sun!" But his stomach didn't think so, and it let out a "goo".

Jiuru turned to look at him, so Zhaoran had no choice but to ask: "Would you like to eat salted duck eggs? I know a stall that sells them. It goes with rice porridge. It's delicious." (Note: Salted duck eggs, Zhaoran saw the sun and thought It's salted duck egg yolk)

"En." Jiuru still replied with the same sentence.

----

Zhaoran returned home a little depressed, saw that Aning had brought something over, it looked like a piece of human skin, and pointed at it quickly: "What is this?"

Aning whispered: "The onion is shedding its skin."

"This kid has grown up again?"

"It's only grown a little taller than last time. I think the Skypython clan will either not grow up, or they will grow up very fast. This is why they need to shed the old skin and grow new ones, so that it will be easier to grow up. .”

Zhao Ran pointed at the skin and said, "Then don't throw it away, the first time you shed your skin is very memorable."

Aning smiled and said, "That's what I said too, but Onion insisted on throwing the bark on top of the tree."

Zhao Ran sneered mercilessly: "He's a short guy, even if he hangs his skin on the top of the Tongtian Pagoda, he won't grow tall."

----

He entered the room, closed the door, and took out the token without hesitation for a moment. Just as he was about to remove the token, he saw that there was an ancient seal script on the token. He touched it subconsciously, and the next moment he Appeared in Li's cemetery again.

"How did the time of this token become the cemetery of the Li family?" Zhao Ran was really scratching his head in anxiety. He still didn't know how Shen Fangji disappeared from the back of the Buddhist hall and was buried in Li Mo's cemetery. of.

He studied the token repeatedly, and inadvertently moved the ancient seal script up a notch. Suddenly, he returned to the back of the ancient Buddha burning lamp on Luozi Peak.

He took out the token and pushed it upwards, and when he pushed it to the top, there were three squares, and he appeared behind a rockery.

"What kind of place is this?" Zhao Ran thought to himself.

"Shan Zhang, you see, I donate a lot of silver to the academy every year, can't I have a degree?"

Zhao Ran looked from behind the rockery, and saw an old man and a businessman coming, the old man sighed and said: "The little sage accepts students, who he wants to accept and who he does not accept, the academy cannot be his master." Yes. If your eldest son is talented, you might as well go and have a try, the little sage said that he only accepts the smartest people in the world."

"Only accept the most intelligent people in the world!" Zhao Ran gritted his teeth, "Which person who doesn't have eyes is so loud!"

At this time, a scholar with a long white robe came, and the old man hurriedly greeted him: "Little saint, are you satisfied with the students today?"

The scholar said: "Thank you, Dean He, for your concern. The Axian sent by the homeless class today is not bad. I'm still looking at the rest."

Zhao Ran opened his eyes wide, this scholar is not Jiu Ru.

Dean He said: "Don't worry, my Bailu Academy is a well-known academy in Baoding Prefecture, and now you are accepting students, Little Sage, and there will be more boys coming for you to choose in the next few days."

Jiuru bowed slightly and left.

Dean He said to the merchants: "You see, the little sage accepts all kinds of students, even the children of theatrical troupe. This money will definitely not impress you."

The merchant had no choice but to sigh.

----

Zhao Ran waited for them to leave, and came out from behind the rockery, thinking: "A Xian from the homeless class, isn't that the nickname in Shen Fangji's memory. Could it be that today is the time for Shen Fangji to worship Jiuru as his teacher. "

Thinking in his heart, he went out of the academy, and saw an old man leading two boys in front of him. The girl wore two buns, raised her head and said in a clear and clear voice: "Brother A Xian, I told you that the little sage will take you in." As a disciple, you are the smartest person in the world."

The boy said with a smile: "Heaven is beyond the sky, there are people beyond people, no one can say that he is the smartest."

He has handsome eyebrows, an easy-going smile, and a clear and uncluttered voice. Even though he is a boy, he already has a convincing demeanor.

Zhao Ran couldn't help his teeth becoming sour for a while, and suddenly his body became transparent, and he was attached to the boy A Xian almost the next moment.

I just heard the old man say: "It's a great joy to have the little sage accepted as a student today, let's go to the town and have a good meal."

"I want to eat haggis!" The little girl said immediately.

The old man said: "Your Brother Axian doesn't like to eat haggis."

Axian smiled and said, "I will eat haggis."

The little girl happily said: "Go eat haggis."

The three talked and laughed and walked forward.

Zhaoran was startled and twisted desperately, but he couldn't help walking forward with the boy.
