Doom Roar

After the rattling sound of the lottery, a bamboo stick jumped out of the stick and landed on the green brick floor with a pleasant crisp sound.

"This time it's the Nine Continent lottery."

The bamboo stick jumped into his hand as if he was being attracted by waving his hand. Fa Hai glanced at it casually, turned around and took out the corresponding stick paper from the wooden stand next to him and handed it to Xu Mo.

There are still twelve characters on it.

The meaning is close at hand, but the love is far away, [

"Zen Master Fahai, can you untangle the lottery for me?"

After the last lottery, Xu Mo had completely given up on his IQ in guessing puzzles.

Fa Hai took a look at the signed paper, then smiled slightly and said, "What do you want to ask, Master Xu?"

"I want to ask about the whereabouts of the two of them."

Fa Hai returned the lottery paper to Xu Mo, folded his hands together and proclaimed the Buddha's name, saying: "Benefactor Xu, if you are looking for someone, this lottery is a lottery. The master is fierce. If the benefactor doesn't find it, just return it. If you insist on looking for someone , I am afraid that the moment you find the person you are looking for will be the time when Yin and Yang will be separated forever..."

Xu Mo was stunned: "Zen Master Fahai, are you serious?"

"Monks don't lie."

Xu Mo remained silent for a long time. Although theoretically speaking, such a fatal situation should not occur in this illusion, he couldn't help but believe Fa Hai's powerful words.

It was getting late, Xu Mo declined Fa Hai's invitation to stay overnight, went down Xizhao Mountain alone, and returned to his home in Qiantang County overnight.

Li Gongfu and the other three daughters were always worried that Xu Mo would be made things difficult by Fa Hai, and they were even aggressive. When the sky was dark, they waited in front of the house. Only when they saw Xu Mo's carriage from a distance did they let go of the big stone in their hearts, and hurried forward to take Xu Mo away. Mo welcome into the door.

"Sir, have a bowl of white fungus pear porridge to warm your stomach. Sister Pan'er has already cooked it at noon, and it has been heating on the fire." Li Gongfu stirred the spoon to blow off the heat on the surface, and carefully handed the soup bowl to Xu Mo Holding it in his hand, he asked urgently: "Master, is there any gain from going to Jinshan Temple this time? How did you talk with Fahai? Will he let Xiaobai and Xiaoqing go?"

Chatted with Fa Hai for a whole afternoon, filled a lot of tea, but didn't eat any serious food, Xu Mo was indeed hungry, took a few mouthfuls of the sweet rice porridge in the bowl, wiped his mouth and said: "This Shuimanjinshan is the hole that Fahai dug for Bai Suzhen. It took a lot of effort to arrest Bai Suzhen. How could he let him go with just a few words from me? I went this time just to test Fahai's understanding of this matter. Bottom line..."

"What did Fa Hai say?"

"Fahai will keep Bai Suzhen and Cen Biqing under the Leifeng Pagoda forever, and never leave the Pagoda, unless the Leifeng Pagoda falls and the West Lake dries up."

Gu Pan trembled when he heard the words, the tray of porridge almost fell, and said in a voiceless voice: "Leifeng Pagoda has gone through a hundred years of wind and rain and is as strong as ever, and the water of West Lake has existed for thousands of years and has never dried up. Didn't Fahai want Xiaoqing and Is Xiaobai imprisoned until he dies? It's too vicious!"

Xu Mo let out a long sigh, and suddenly punched the tea table down, and the empty porridge bowl was also knocked over and shattered into several pieces, his expression full of annoyance.

"Don't worry, Mr. Fahai, why don't we fight with that Fahai! Anyway, the Leifeng Pagoda can suppress monsters but can't do anything to us. As for that Fahai, the law of the Song Dynasty is like a mountain, how dare he kill people in broad daylight? No?" Li Gongfu said indignantly.

Xu Mo smiled wryly and shook his head, if only things were as simple as Li Gongfu said.

As a generation of Buddhist eminent monks, Fahai's biggest weakness is that he should not prescribe the precept against killing indiscriminately. But Nai Fang's Dharma is profound and powerful, and Bai Suzhen's monstrous water from the East China Sea can be stopped outside Jinshan Temple. Mere mortals? [

When everyone was at a loss for rescuing the green and white snakes, Yan Wan repeated the two words left by Fa Hai, as if she had caught something in her heart.

"Okay, sir, don't you always say that there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain? There will always be a way." Gu Pan saw that the atmosphere in the room was getting heavier, so he hurriedly changed the subject, "Master, didn't you say Did you go to Jinshan Temple to ask for a lottery? Are there any whereabouts of Lin Yijing's other two spiritual projections?"

"The signature has arrived, just so you can take a look."

Xu Mo took out the lottery from his bosom, and handed it to the three girls to pass it around one by one. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang. Maybe Li Gongfu and others can see some clues to the poems that they don’t understand. .

"The meaning is close at hand, but the love is far away... what does this mean?" Li Gongfu raised her head in confusion.

"Yeah, it's close at hand, it seems to say that it can be found, but it's far away, it seems that it can't be found... Does this sign mean that it can be found or not?" Gu Pan is obviously no better than Li Gongfu. where to go.

"Wan'er, what do you think?"

Among the three girls, Yan Wan had the highest IQ and literary accomplishment. Xu Mo could only place his last hopes on her.

Yan Wan stared at the short sentence on the sign paper, pondered for a long time, and said: "I have never unwrapped the sign, and I don't know if there is any code word in it... I just think that this sentence seems to be a reminder that the other two Lin Yijing's avatar does not need to be searched for, it will appear naturally when the time comes, if you take the initiative to look for it, you will miss this two people by mistake."

"Huh? It seems to mean that... Mr. Xiang, I think what sister Wan'er said makes sense."

Gu Pan and Li Gongfu nodded in agreement.

Xu Mo also nodded secretly, Yan Wan's analysis coincided with Fa Hai's solution.

But for some reason, Xu Mo vaguely felt that the meaning of these two sentences was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

Since he couldn't think of a way to rescue the green and white snakes for a while, and he couldn't take the initiative to find Lin Yijing's spiritual projection, Xu Mo had no choice but to take Li Gongfu and other three women to settle down at home first.

Since they want to stay here for a long time, everything in the house needs to be rearranged.

The original quilts were already unusable after being soaked in the flood waters, and even washing and drying them in the sun could not get rid of the musty smell with the weird stench, so they were all discarded and replaced with new ones.

Most of the paper is also soaked in water and needs to be torn off and reattached.

Although the furniture was somewhat deformed, it was not realistic to replace all of them. Except for some that were washed away by water and could not be repaired, most of them were carried to the yard to ventilate in the wind, but they could barely continue to be used.

The things to do seem to be few, but they are extremely trivial, and they cannot be completed in a short period of time with a lot of strength, especially the remodeled Xu family's old house is no longer the small courtyard with only three tile-roofed houses. The finishing and renovation of a large or small house requires a lot of manpower.

In the past, Xu Mo only needed to spend a small amount of money to hire some part-time workers, but now Qiantang County is not only empty, but a flood has also reduced the population by nearly half, and almost every family is busy. For a funeral, it is almost impossible to find a hired worker.

Naishmo and the others had no choice but to rely on their own efforts. After nearly a week of tossing and tossing, the house was basically restored to its original state.

On this day, Li Gongfu and the three girls went to Fangshi early in the morning to choose fabrics to make quilts and clothes for the winter, while Xu Mo squatted on the roof to repair the missing tiles one by one, getting up from time to time and looking at the streets in the city. The stream of people lamented the power of human recovery. [

As soon as the last roof was repaired, Xu Mo suddenly heard the creaking sound of the door shaft sliding from the courtyard door facing the street, but there were no footsteps, as if someone hadn't entered from the outside door.

Xu Mo couldn't help feeling weird.

When he was at home, the gate of the courtyard was never barred. If Li Gongfu and other wives and concubines came back, they would often enter the door directly; ...Not that stupid enough to walk through the door directly.

But it was the first time that the door opened but no one entered.

Xu Mo didn't bother to guess, he jumped off the roof, walked through the main room and walked into the front yard. He wanted to see who was playing tricks at the door of his house.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Xu Mo saw that half of the main entrance facing the street was fully opened. A pretty girl in a pure white gauze skirt was cautiously looking into the courtyard. color.

Although the body and appearance have undergone earth-shaking changes, the familiarity and intimacy that are connected by blood cannot be erased by time.

It's Xu Xian'er.

She finally returned from her studies after nine years away from home.

"Big... brother?"

Although he had already seen Xu Mo walking out of the main room, Xu Xian'er at the door seemed afraid to recognize him, so he hesitated for a long time before asking.

She was taken to Longhu Mountain by her master to practice for nine years, and Xu Xianer was not allowed to go down the mountain to worship until recently. She followed the map given by her master to find the hillside where Xu Mo was buried that day, but when she arrived, she found that the place had already been washed away by the flood It was beyond recognition, and it was impossible to find Xu Mo's grave.

In desperation, Xu Xian'er had no choice but to burn some joss sticks and paper money on the spot, and paid homage hastily.

After that, Xu Xian'er wanted to go back to Longhu Mountain directly to follow her master to continue her practice, to stay away from the mundane world and not to care about worldly affairs, but she still couldn't let go of the brother-sister relationship with Xu Mo in her heart.

It is difficult to concentrate on cultivating the Tao after being cut off from the secular world. In order to make an end to her past self, Xu Xian'er decided to take a trip to Qiantang County, and take a last look at the home where she lived for nine years.

Nine years later, Xu Xian'er thought that the former home should be dilapidated, and maybe even only a piece of ruins remained, but she didn't expect to see a huge mansion with a garden again.

Xu Xian'er was instantly furious.

Although the old house was dilapidated, it was after all the only inheritance left by their parents to their brothers and sisters. The land deed in black and white was still on file in the yamen. Unexpectedly, after nine years of absence, the only fetter in their hearts was replaced by a strange mansion.

She wants to see who is so bold as to destroy her last memory of her brother.

Xu Xian'er was about to smash the plaque on the gate, but the word "Xu Mansion" shimmering in gold made her subconsciously stop her hand.

Because she remembered very clearly that they were the only family surnamed Xu in the entire Qiantang County.
