The layout inside the house is very simple. Beyond the Buddhist niche, there is an incense table and two futons...
The little lama walked into the room and sat on the futon near the incense table.
After sitting down, the little lama raised his hand slightly and made a "please" gesture, and then said to me: "Donor Hu, please sit down!"
I said softly: "Okay." Then, I squatted down and sat on the futon opposite the little lama.
The little lama looked at me, and I looked at him.
After a long time, I took the lead and asked, "Excuse me, what do you call the little master?"
The little lama smiled and said, "You can call me Banren."
I nodded and said, "Little Master Banren, I want to know how you recognize me? Could it be that we have met before?"
Little Lama Banren shook his head and said nothing. Instead, he reached out and took out something from his arms and handed it to me.
I took the thing and took a look and found that it was actually a small ball of paper. The paper ball was in the shape of a long spindle, and it looked like something was wrapped inside.
I looked at the paper ball in my hand, then at the little lama Banren, and asked in surprise: "This... what is this?"
Little Lama Banren said: "A friend entrusted me to give this to you. He thinks that the things in it may be of some help to you."
I asked doubtfully: "Will the things in this help me?"
Although the young lama Panren does not practice the closed-mouthed meditation in Tibetan Buddhism, he still doesn't like to talk very much. Unless necessary, when you ask him something, he just smiles and nods, or shakes his head.
Hearing my question, the young lama Banren nodded slightly.
"A friend asked him to give it to me? That means..." I looked at the paper ball in my hand and thought to myself: "This friend in Ban Ren's mouth knows both me and him, but how can this person Know that I will come here? How do you know that he giving me this thing will help me? Is that guy proficient in the Taoist secrets of Da Liuren? Or can he walk ahead of time? Hey... I don’t want to think about that much, who cares? Won’t you know what it is if you open it and take a look?”
Thinking of this, I opened the paper ball in my hand bit by bit.
As the paper ball was opened little by little, a very strange-looking copper key was revealed in front of me.
The key is about 15 centimeters long and about the width of your little finger. It is made entirely of copper, with two black gemstones inlaid at the end. The reason why the key has a weird shape is mainly because it has a key on one end and a crying human face on the other end. The two black gems are exactly inlaid in the eyes of the face.
In addition, I unfolded the paper that wrapped the key, and was surprised to find that there was an extremely strange pattern drawn on the slightly yellowed paper.
The pattern was very scattered, scattered here and there, and it looked as if a three-year-old child had picked up a pen and scribbled on it casually.
But is this really a waste of money?
No!
It couldn't have been scribbled on randomly.
Because, on a strange pattern, I saw a line of numbers, "Two...seven...four...seven...seven...six..."
When I saw this string of numbers, I was stunned.
I looked at the paper ball in my hand in surprise, then looked at the little lama Banren sitting opposite, and said, "This...who gave you this paper ball?"
The young lama Banren smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry, Donor Hu. This poor monk can only tell you so much. As for other things, the poor monk doesn't know and has nothing to say."
I looked at the little lama Banren and said, "Are you unwilling? Or are you unable?"
The little lama Banren said calmly: "I can't and I don't want to!"
After saying that, the little lama Banren slowly raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation, "Donor Hu, our fate has ended today. Donor Hu, please come back! Your friends are still waiting for you!"
I looked at the little lama who was only a teenager in front of me, and his calm and calm expression, and doubts reappeared in my heart.
Seeing that I didn't move, the little lama Banren smiled and said, "Please come back!"
Seeing that the young lama Banren had made up his mind, I guessed that there would be no clues to escape from him, so I stood up and bowed deeply, then said: "Since the young master thinks that our fate has ended, then today, I’ll take my leave now.”
After saying that, I turned around and walked out of the house. At this moment, the little lama Banren said calmly: "Planting green seedlings in the field with your hands, you can see the sky in the water when you lower your head. The six roots of purity are the way, and retreat is actually forward." ."
I stopped and looked back at the little lama Banren, and said in surprise: "Little Master Banren, are you talking to me?"
Little Lama Panren did not answer me, but smiled at me and slowly closed his eyes. After a while, little Lama Panren seemed to have fallen into samadhi.
I sighed helplessly, then turned around and walked out of the room.
After leaving the house, I first put the paper ball and the key into my coat pocket, and then thought carefully about the poem that the little lama Panren recited when I left the house, "The six roots are pure and the path is the way. Retrograde is the way to go." It's forward...what does this mean?"
I thought about it for a while and found that I had no clue, so I stopped thinking about it.
After another thought, I realized that Xiong Ming was still waiting for me at the previous place. It took me 20 minutes to come back and forth, and this kid was probably going to die of anxiety.
So, I took a quick step and trotted back along the oncoming path.
When I came back, Xiong Ming was smoking a cigarette depressedly and arguing with Li Guilin.
It seems that Li Guilin refused to let Xiong Ming smoke in the temple, and was scolded by Xiong Ming.
I just heard Xiong Ming shouting: "You girl, go and play. I am very depressed now. My brother has been away and hasn't come back yet. I don't know if he was plotted by others. Let me tell you, you If you mess with me again, believe it or not, I will break your neck?"
Li Guilin laughed and said: "This leader named Xiong, please don't twist off my head. If I twist it off, how can I lead you? Also, smoking in the temple is a sign of disrespect to the Buddha." Being disrespectful will damage your blessings! That’s a serious matter!”
Xiong Ming curled his lips and said: "Repaying the blessing, I really don't believe it..."
When Xiong Ming said this, the green brick suddenly fell from the wall he was leaning on.
Li Guilin had quick eyesight and quickly pushed Xiong Ming when he saw this. Xiong Ming couldn't stand and flopped on the ground, and the brick hit the place where he was squatting.
Upon seeing this, Li Guilin shouted: "Leader named Xiong, look at it, don't you believe it? The real world report is coming! The current world report is coming!"
Xiong Ming didn't care about Li Guilin, who was jumping and shouting at the side. Instead, he stood up quickly and shouted to the roof: "Who? Who came here to hit me with his head?"
And I happened to run back at this time, and just when I saw Xiong Ming falling down, I also happened to see a figure flashing past on the roof.
Seeing the figure flashing past on the roof, I couldn't help but froze for a moment, muttering to myself: "This...how is this possible? How did he get here?"
After Xiong Ming shouted twice and saw no response from the roof, he turned around and saw me, so he ran towards me in large strides and asked, "Hu Tian, why did you come back? Did you see that guy up there just now?" Who is it? The smash was so damn accurate, I was so surprised that I gave it to Mr. Xiong."
I looked at the roof where the figure disappeared, and it took a while before I managed to speak: "I didn't see his shadow clearly, but that figure is very familiar to the two of us..."
Before I could finish my words, Xiong Ming continued in surprise: "You mean... the one who turned his head and hit me just now was the one who led us into Biluo Village..."
I didn't let Xiong Ming finish what he said. After all, there were outsiders present at this time, and it was difficult to explain many things clearly, so I said decisively: "That's right! The figures look very similar."
Xiong Ming said in surprise: "But that guy looks like an eight or nine-year-old child. How could he follow us here? Also, how did he know that we would come here?"
I shook my head and said, "How do I know? I'm not his father!"
Xiong Ming said: "Then what should we do now?"
I frowned and said, "Let's go back first! As for other things, let's wait and see what happens!"
Xiong Ming nodded and said: "Now it seems that this is the only way."
After saying that, the two of us urged Li Guilin to lead the way towards the place where we got off the bus.
When we went back, everyone was already there waiting for us.
Li Qiang was the first to come over, looked at me with a hint of sarcasm and said, "Do you two know what you are doing here?"
I glanced at Li Qiang and said nothing, but continued walking forward.
Li Qiang became even more excited when he saw that I was silent, and he said loudly: "You two are here on a mission, not for tourism. Are you two embarrassed to let everyone wait for you here?" Good guy, you even visited the scenic spot, do you think..."
Before Li Qiang finished speaking, he was lifted up by Xiong Ming.
Xiong Ming didn't say anything, and stared at Li Qiang with a pair of angry eyes.
Li Qiang also looked at Xiong Ming, gritted his teeth and asked, "You...what do you want to do?"
Although he still spoke forcefully, no one was stupid and could hear the slightly trembling tone in his voice.
Xiong Ming looked at him and said word by word: "I don't want to do anything. I just want you to shut up."
After saying that, Xiong Ming exerted force on his arms and threw Li Qiang to the ground with a "pop" as if he were throwing a chicken.
The guy who claimed to be a doctor from the Department of Archeology of Northwest University had never seen such a posture before. He was thrown to the ground by Xiong Ming, and the second half of the sentence he wanted to blurt out was stuck in his throat. speak out.
After Xiong Ming threw Li Qiang to the ground, he clapped his hands, pouted, and said to the people present: "I'm sorry for our lateness. I hope you can find us two brothers."
As he spoke, Xiong Ming looked around at the people present. Seeing that no one said anything else, Xiong Ming curled his lips and said with a smile: "I know you are reasonable people. So, what are we going to do next?"
