Anecdotes from Mountains and Seas

Standing at the gate of Jiming Temple, Yu Yuzhou hesitated for a moment, then turned around and said to Su Yan, who looked particularly energetic today, "Why don't you go back to the hotel and wait for our news."

Unsurprisingly, he was rejected by Su Yan.

Yu Yuzhou didn't mean anything else, but the last time he came to Jiming Temple, Su Yan had been ill for almost a week. Although he didn't say it himself, Yu Yuzhou, a man of chauvinism, had no distinction between men and women. , anyway, no matter how you look at him, how distressed he is.Going out this time is nothing more than to inquire about the cat corpse, and there is no danger; even if there is any danger, it is enough for him to bring Li Qing, Lao Jin and Anyang. Speaking of how capable he is, if he suddenly fell ill, it would be troublesome to take care of him.

It’s just that Su Yan seems to be able to pinch and count. They left at eight o’clock. Su Yan was eating the last bite of wonton at the breakfast stand outside the hotel. He even wiped his mouth with a paper towel hypocritically and said hello to them, The wontons on Laifeng Street are really delicious.

Yu Yuzhou, who usually only woke up 10 minutes earlier, swallowed.

Yu Yuzhou probably thought about it, during the time they were together, Su Yan turned off the lights at [-] o'clock every day to rest, got up on time at [-] o'clock, and had three meals a day with comprehensive nutrition, which was evident when his buddy said that he was old-fashioned.

Jiming Temple is still as usual, full of incense and pilgrims, but today is full of good things, as if it will rain at any time.Such weather is normal in Jiangnan.

This time it was not necessary for Yu Yuzhou to call the monk himself, he stood at the gate of the monastery with a gloomy expression on his face, just like the weather.

Anyang approached Yu Yuzhou and said, "Is this monk's expression the weather forecast? Why does he match the weather every time I come to see him?"

Anyang was just joking, but Yu Yuzhou knew very well that the monk was originally a squid, so there was no expression on his face, his expression was just imitating a human being.

Apparently, Monk Bodhi's eyesight is not very good. He frowned and squinted his eyes, and didn't greet the pilgrims who came to offer incense. He just stood there motionless, a bit like a Tang monk who was meditating in Chechi Kingdom and Luli Daxian. .It wasn't until Yu Yuzhou and his group walked in that the Bodhi monk finally responded.

Bodhi wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Yan who was following Yu Yuzhou, and swallowed it back, leaving only a mixed expression of anxiety and disgust on his face.

Yu Yuzhou was amazed that such a complex and layered expression was performed so vividly and naturally by him, that this young fish can become a movie star.In these hundreds of years of walking in the world, I have learned a lot.

Bodhi glanced at Su Yan, and whispered to Yu Yuzhou, "Why is he following you again?"

Yu Yuzhou had no choice but to smile awkwardly, "The ones who are not in the way are all our own."

Yu Yuzhou could tell that Bodhi had a special dislike for Su Yan. For Su Yan, Bodhi even guarded his territory like a dog.As for why, Yu Yuzhou didn't know, and Bodhi didn't say anything, but I told him last time to keep him away from Su Yan, he is not human.

What's the matter if it's not a human being? Bodhi, the civet cat beside him, has also seen it before. He is also not human, and he is very arrogant. This Bodhi didn't say anything!

Although Yu Yuzhou himself didn't know exactly what Su Yan's identity was, he still felt that there was no need to be too wary of him.

With an expression of "not listening to the old man", Bodhi didn't say anything more, and led Yu Yuzhou and his group into the meditation room.As soon as I entered the meditation room, it suddenly rained heavily outside, without any warning or excessive.The pilgrims also dispersed in an instant, each looking for a place to hide from the rain.Yu Yuzhou noticed a middle-aged woman wearing simple but elegant clothes, which should be quite expensive.She was the only pilgrim who did not leave because of the rain. Perhaps there was a wave on her face when the rainstorm first arrived, but at this moment she stood in the rain and paid respects to the Buddha Hall.

"In such a deteriorating world, there are still people who are so devout." Lao Jin sighed.He looks informal, but inside he has a sentimental heart.

Anyang didn't notice that there was another person outside. After hearing what Lao Jin said, he went back to the door to take a look, and then smiled mockingly, "If you don't ask for something, how can you be pious."

Like many rich second generations, Anyang lived in a big and complicated family since he was a child. Apart from his first wife, his father also had countless concubines outside.For money, property, and love, the family is harmonious and warm on the surface, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.People's hearts are something that Anyang can't see through when he pees on his own.

Lao Jin didn't refute any more, just sighed.

Yu Yuzhou's heart was twisted like a towel.People's hearts, there is no right or wrong with this thing at all.

So he borrowed an umbrella from Bodhi, and Yu Yuzhou personally delivered it to the woman in the rain.Su Yan looked at him from a distance, walking in the rain seemed like a lifetime ago, hazy, ethereal and real.He saw Yu Yuzhou's thin lips slightly parted, and said something to the woman.

It was too far away, and there was only the sound of torrential rain in the world, noisy and quiet, as for what Yu Yuzhou said, he couldn't hear clearly, but he knew that after saying this, the woman's eyes turned red.

What did he say?Su Yan couldn't guess.Emotions in the world are really complicated. I'm afraid he still can't fully appreciate or understand what makes the two strangers in the heavy rain instantly have an emotional resonance.

Yu Yuzhou was already drenched when he came back from the outside. Su Yan didn't know what made him willing to get wet to deliver an umbrella to a stranger, so he took off his coat and handed it to him, "Put it on."

Su Yan's tone was never to be questioned, and Yu Yuzhou really felt cold and impolite, so he took it and put it on on his body, only to realize that he was about the same size as Su Yan, and his clothes fit well.

Bodhi asked the little monk in the temple to bring some cups of hot tea.The humidity in the south is heavy, and northerners will not be used to it. The monk didn't know when he learned so carefully and prepared hot tea.Yu Yuzhou drank it all in one gulp, while Su Yan took a sip politely.

Bodhi waited for them to warm up before saying, "If you're done being hypocritical, shouldn't you listen to me?" It can be seen that he didn't want to say it in front of Su Yan, but because of Yu Yuzhou's insistence Trusting Su Yan, he had no choice but to speak.

"You should listen to me first." Yu Yuzhou felt that his business was more urgent.

Bodhi thought about it for a while, "Okay then, you talk first."

Yu Yuzhou was about to speak, but Li Qing, who followed him silently all the way, suddenly reminded him, "Keep it short." He knew Yu Yuzhou well enough that it would be no problem for him to tell stories or put children to sleep.They came here for business today, but they didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.

So Yu Yuzhou quickly integrated it in his mind, and summarized a suspenseful short story into one sentence: "A cat came to the hotel yesterday, and it smelled like incense from the temple. Before he—" Yu Yuzhou pointed with his chin. After a moment, Su Yan said, "I fucked in his room."

"So you just wanted to ask the cat?"

"Correct."

"Then what I want to say is probably the same thing as what you want to ask. Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the yin energy was at its peak. I went down the well to fill Yan'er's long-burning lamp. After I went down the well, it was dark. Wait until I relight the long-burning lamp." Only then did I realize that it was someone—or something—that knocked over the ever-burning lamp." Bodhi said, with a serious expression.

"You mean, the one who overturned the lantern and dipped it in the chalk was the cat in my bed?" Yu Yuzhou wanted to confirm further.

"I can't be sure, but according to what you said, I'm afraid it is."

Li Qing listened to it, frowned and said, "Cats don't know how to wade in water. Even if the cat is unusual, it is impossible for them to dive into the well water connected to the Yellow Spring just to get some chalk powder."

What Li Qing said is correct, but anything that is angry will not take the initiative to approach the underground world. To use a popular saying, it is driven by the desire to survive.That's true for people, let alone extremely perceptive cats.

"In other words, maybe the cat didn't dive into the water to steal the magnesium powder, but came down from the water and accidentally knocked over the long light." Yu Yuzhou suddenly thought that civet cats also looked like this, because they are nocturnal animals. In the dark, the pupils tend to dilate extremely, and the magnesium powder burns not only with high heat, but also with high brightness. This kind of light intensity is completely enough to blind a cat that just came out of the underworld.

Li Qing still frowned, "It still doesn't make sense. First, how could the cat come from the underworld? Now that the management system of the underworld has been fully upgraded, there is no chance for ghosts to escape, let alone a cat; second, if it really came from the underground , Is it unreasonable to attack Brother Hu Yang directly?"

Li Qing deliberately didn't say "Black Impermanence", but replaced it with his real name. I don't know what he was scruples about.

Bodhi clasped his hands together, bowed slightly and said, "This poor monk doesn't know anymore."

Lao Jin, who had been closing his eyes all the time, suddenly opened his eyes, "What are you talking about! Go down and take a look, and you will know everything."

Yu Yuzhou thought so too, sitting here for a meeting, why not go and see for yourself.After making the decision, Yu Yuzhou turned to look at Su Yan again.

"I'll go with you." Su Yan said.

Yu Yuzhou didn't want him to go at first, after all, Hei Wuchang went on a business trip to catch little ghosts, and Bai Wuchang went home to recover from his injuries, so no one took care of Su Yan.But he couldn't stop him anyway, Yu Yuzhou didn't even struggle lazily, "Li Qing, you are responsible for taking care of President Su today."

Compared with Anyang who is warm on the outside but indifferent on the inside and Lao Jin who is careless, Yu Yuzhou still trusts Li Qing more.

Li Qing was a little reluctant, but finally agreed.Su Yan did not reject Yu Yuzhou's kindness this time either.

"You can't see anything so fucking. Didn't you say that there is an ever-burning lamp below? Where's the lamp?"

Anyang volunteered to go down first, and Yu Yuzhou didn't stop him. Although he was just an ordinary person, there shouldn't be any strong characters in this well. Anyang's fists and kicks are pretty good, so he should be able to handle any emergencies come.

The main reason is that I don't want Su Yan to go down first, so it's a bit partial.

"Maybe the candlestick was broken yesterday, go down and take a look." Bodhi called from above.

Fortunately, it was a rainy day, otherwise there would be people coming and going here all year round. If they climbed into the well, they would probably be taken away by the police uncle.

"I can't see anything!" Anyang replied.

Yu Yuzhou couldn't wait, and followed Anyang down.The remaining few people naturally followed closely behind.

When all the group of people entered the well, before Yu Yuzhou could react, it was suddenly dark behind him, and the last ray of skylight from the mouth of the well was gone, and the well was truly invisible.

In the dark, Yu Yuzhou scolded, "Fuck, that bastard tricked me."
