Mysterious world, I have special understanding

Chapter 32
"The road of life is like a long dream.

The road is wind and frost, and the wind and frost are blowing dry.

In the red dust, there are many directions for beautiful dreams."

This can be said to be Ji Que's first long trip.

Dressed as a scholar, he rode on a yellow horse, looking at the vast grass and wild forest beside the road, he couldn't help but hum this song.

The sky was gloomy, far from the county seat, and all eyes were desolate.

On both sides of the road are either lush trees or half-human-high weeds. From time to time, some strange-looking statues stand on the side of the road, and there are some burned out incense candles in front of them.
Such pictures always give Ji Que the illusion that he has entered the world of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

From Sangshui County to Tianren City, it is said that there are thousands of miles away, but Ji Que estimates that after walking less than forty miles, something happened.

The Huang Pyu horse was originally running well on the road, but as Ji Que's riding skills became more and more skilled, it just felt like the unity of man and horse.

In the end, the yellow horse stepped into a hidden mud pit. If he hadn't been good at it, he might have fallen from the horse in a dog-biting posture.

The most depressing thing was that the horse's leg was still swollen, and after coming out of the pit, it limped.

"No way, so unlucky?" Ji Que couldn't help but sighed.

Sure enough, once he left the area of ​​Sangshui County, bad luck struck again.

But it was unfortunate, and seeing the comprehension bar, which had not moved for a long time, suddenly moved, it gave him some comfort.

He bought this horse for 80 taels of silver, seeing how it was limping, Ji Que couldn't help feeling sorry for the silver.

If this leg is really useless, even if it is sold again, I am afraid it will not be able to sell for a price.

So, after a while, there was a scholar walking with a horse on the road.

Huang Pyu Ma was carried on his body, with a look of fear and anxiety on his face.

It has lived for more than ten years, and has never been ridden by people, and has never been treated like this.

With the true energy flowing in his body, it is not a problem for Ji Que to carry a horse for walking, but this thing, like the schoolbag he used to study in his last life, is a burden after all, so he can't help but complain: "I originally bought you to save time and effort, but I didn't expect to buy it. An ancestor."

Walking and walking, Ji Que took a step and suddenly realized that he had stepped on shit.

Also stepped on horse shit!

So there was a beautiful picture of a scholar carrying a horse scraping horse shit beside the road.

Ji Que walked on the road with his horse on his back, looking at the thicker lead clouds in the sky, he couldn't help but say, "Why does it look like it's going to rain."

As soon as he finished speaking, a raindrop fell on his forehead.

Ji Que couldn't help but be even more surprised, and said, "The rain will come as soon as you say it, but fortunately, the rain in this season can't be too big."

As a result, after a dozen or so breaths, the showers crashed down.

"Fuck!"

Ji Que was immediately smeared by the rain, and he couldn't help but complain.

The showers in autumn are really painful.

Ji Que and Ma were quickly soaked, and the ground became muddy.

The rain was normal rain, but it was freezing rain.

He can withstand it even if he has the infuriating body protection, but I am afraid that this horse will not be able to bear it.

Really bought a grandfather.

Ji Que let out a breath of white air and could not help speeding up his pace.

There were many bushes on both sides of the road ahead, which looked like wobbly ghosts in the rain.

At this time, Ji Que's eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw that in the shower, a ramp that was sloping upwards led to a higher place, and at the end of the ramp, there was a faint outline of a building.

Finally found a place to shelter from the rain.

Ji Que carried the horse all the way up, and found that there was a temple on the slope, which seemed to be abandoned.

The red walls were mottled, and a lot of green moss had climbed up, like the face of a skin patient in the rain.

Seeing that the yellow horse was shivering, Ji Que didn't think much, and carried the horse directly into the temple.

As soon as he entered the temple, he saw a cluster of firelights, it should be someone lighting a fire inside to keep warm.

The rain is so freezing.

Ji Que came under the dilapidated eaves and put the horse down.

The yellow horse shook his body and shook off countless rainwater.

Ji Que led the limp and walked towards the place where the fire was made.

He didn't want to disturb others, but the temple was in disrepair and was badly damaged, so the two rooms were well preserved.

As soon as Ji Que approached what should be the main hall, he saw a man and a woman sitting by a bonfire, and two coffins next to them.

At this time, the pair of men and women also looked at him.

As a scholar, he has always been polite and said, "It's raining heavily, and I want to borrow a place to shelter from the rain. Is it inconvenient to ask?"

At this moment, the man beside the bonfire stood up and asked suspiciously, "Ji Que, is that you?"

Ji Que didn't expect that someone in the ruined temple in this barren mountain would know his name, so he could not help but get closer.

"Li Sankai?" Ji Que looked at the face beside the bonfire and wondered.

"It's really you." Li San said with a smile.

Li Sankai used to be Ji Que's classmate. If Tang Yi and him were young, this classmate Li would be the third person.

However, he should be quite self-aware. After reading for a year and a half, he realized that it was not for reading, so he resolutely went home and inherited the family's coffin shop, unlike Ji Que and Tang Yi.

Li Sankai's coffin is very famous. It is said to be a century-old shop. When Sangshui County was still a town, his coffin shop was there.

Barren Mountain Yeling met an acquaintance, and it has to be said that it was fate.

Li Sankai didn't know about Ji Que's special unfortunate later, and he was close to him, so he hurriedly greeted him to bake the fire.

Ji Que was also welcome and sat straight over.

Apart from studying for exams, Ji Que has always been self-aware.

He concluded that although he was unlucky, he was not a Lonely Star in the traditional sense.

Whether it is stepping on shit, encountering a kitchen knife or brick that suddenly flew over, or encountering a tiger encountered on a green walk, they basically hit him with precision and rarely hurt others.

When he accumulated his comprehension, it seemed that there was a magnetic field around him that would bring bad luck. Whenever he walked, it would bring bad luck.

In the words of Xue Zhaotou before, there is an accident wherever you go.

This can't help but remind him of a certain elementary school student in a certain anime in his previous life.

It's just that the primary school students make others unlucky, and Ji Que is himself.

In short, he won't hurt others easily, and he bears all the pain, which is why Ji Que dares to be bold and get close to Tang Yi.

He felt that those classmates were avoiding him, obviously making a fuss.

He's not that scary, really.

When I met a tiger on a trip, the tiger was not just staring at him and chasing him, without looking at other people.

It's a pity, except for Tang Yi, other classmates have prejudice against him.

After the horse was settled, Ji Que sat by the bonfire and quickly communicated with Li Sankai.

It turns out that the Li family coffin has a good reputation because of its exquisite craftsmanship and exquisite workmanship and selection of materials, so that many large families in other towns come here to order coffins.

No, a wealthy old woman in Liuhuai City was terminally ill, and the doctor made it clear that she would not live well for half a year.

The old woman was still conscious, thinking that she was about to die, so she confessed to her children that she must order a Nanmu coffin from the Li family in Sangshui County, and two pairs at a time. .

So after the coffin was finished, Li Sankai and his sister Li Mei came out to deliver the goods. Who would have thought that the freezing rain would suddenly fall, and those who could not go to the village or the store would have to go to this temple to avoid the rain.

"I didn't expect you and I to be so destined to meet you." Li Sankai said with a smile.

Beside her, Li Sankai's younger sister Li Mei saw Ji Que's handsome appearance. She used to walk outside a lot, and she was quite proud, but she felt a little embarrassed.

After chatting for a while, Ji Que couldn't help but observe the surrounding environment.

This room is not small, it should be the main hall in the temple, and there is a dilapidated Guanyin statue on the altar.

The facial features of the Avalokitesvara statue are very vague, with some cobwebs sticking to it. In such weather, there is no sense of solemnity, and it looks ghostly.

The temple has a front yard and a back yard.

There is a pond in the backyard, the water is turbid, and there are dilapidated duckweed floating.

And the lying pine tree in the middle of the pond has long since died, like an old corpse, and some red cloth strips that pilgrims used to hang on to worship and make a wish can vaguely be seen on it.

In a rainy day and a barren temple, this kind of environment really tastes like "A Chinese Ghost Story".

When Ji Que went to see the Guanyin statue again, he felt more and more strange.

The shoulders of this Guanyin statue are too wide, and when compared, the head and lower body appear to be small and deformed.

The mud tire itself is quite rough, and there are no traces of paint, as if it was left unfinished.

In short, after a few more glances, my heart is not very comfortable.

At this time, Ji Que raised his brows and looked outside.

In the rain curtain, some shadows appeared at the gate of the barren temple.

Someone again?
