Chapter 46: The Secret of Linhu Village 17
"Since the things cannot be recycled, why do you still want to clean them?" Su Qingyun asked Xu Xinghe while standing by the pool.
Xu Xinghe wiped the water stains off the bowl and said to Su Qingyun, "I like cleanliness. I feel uncomfortable looking at the bowls left unwashed after eating. Even if we have to throw them away in the end, we still need to use them now."
He looked at the bowl in Su Qingyun's hand.
Su Qingyun, "..." She squatted by the pool and washed herself obediently.
The sun had risen completely, making the lake water sparkle.
Su Qingyun poured the water in the bowl further into the pond, and under the countless lights and shadows, she seemed to see a fish.
Su Qingyun has a colorful koi, but it is kept in a small glass bottle. It is very small, about three inches long. It usually does not move, but is particularly active at night. It is said that it feeds on devouring other people's dreams, and night is its feeding time.
Of course, this colorful koi is also one of Su Qingyun's many offerings. Now, Su Qingyun knows that her colorful koi will spit out a blue bead every seven days, but she doesn't know what other uses it has.
She keeps it as an ornamental fish.
Now a small fish less than three inches long appeared in the pond. Su Qingyun's first reaction was whether it was the same species as the colorful koi.
Because their scales are glowing.
"Little fish!" Su Qingyun splashed the water in the bowl into the pond again. She wanted to attract the little fish over.
But the fish still swam in the same place, neither swimming towards Su Qingyun nor being scared away by the sound of water.
"Are you hungry?" Su Qingyun said to herself. She took out the bread that she had not finished eating last night from her bag, tore off a small piece and threw it into the water.
The little fish swam over, then surfaced, opened its mouth and swallowed the bread.
Su Qingyun saw that its gills were bulging, like a human face.
"It's a strange fish! It's a strange fish!" Su Qingyun exclaimed.
Xu Xinghe was tidying up the tent. When he heard Su Qingyun shouting, he hurried over.
"What strange fish?"
"Look at the gills of the strange fish mentioned in the county annals."
Xu Xinghe squatted down to look, and saw that the little fish was still eating the bread slowly.
After eating, he didn't rush to leave but wandered back and forth between Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe.
"Is it telling us some information?" Su Qingyun asked.
"Maybe, but I don't understand the language of fish." Xu Xinghe stood up, looked at the little fish thoughtfully, then went over and carried the prepared tent on his back.
He urged Su Qingyun to leave quickly.
"Don't forget that this copy has a time limit."
"Seven days, I know." Su Qingyun put the washed bowls into her bag, "Today is the third day."
The secret of the forest fairy has been found in the county annals obtained by Xu Xinghe. Now they are trying their best to find the monster in the center of the lake.
"Could the monster in the center of the lake be this fish?" Su Qingyun pointed at the water and asked Xu Xinghe.
"On what basis?"
"I think it's weird."
"What's the secret?"
"Maybe it's a fish that eats people's dreams."
Su Qingyun's words were pure nonsense, but unexpectedly Xu Xinghe did not argue with her.
Instead, he said that the seven days were up, and if they hadn't found the answer, they would just use Su Qingyun's answer to get by.
Speaking of handing in the task, Su Qingyun asked, "The system asked us to find the secret of Linhu Village and gave us clear directions, but it doesn't seem to give us a way to submit it?"
Then it dawned on her, "So we haven't triggered the key information yet."
Xu Xinghe didn't say anything.
Su Qingyun felt that he knew it very well.
A newcomer who just entered the dungeon knows more than her, an old one.
He was in absolute control of the entire process.
The executives of Fanxing Group are indeed extraordinary.
Su Qingyun thought again of Ye Jian's words to be careful of him. Perhaps being careful of him was the warning Ye Jian really wanted to give.
Su Qingyun threw all the bread in his hand into the pool, then clapped his hands, took out a pen and paper, and marked a direction on the longitude and latitude.
She showed the paper to Xu Xinghe.
Xu Xinghe nodded and turned to go into the woods.
Su Qingyun looked at his back and felt inexplicably relieved.
She felt there was hope for her to return home.
The phone still has no signal, but it is fully charged and the green grid looks vibrant.
Su Qingyun also walked with vigor, his hair was tied up, the zipper of his windbreaker was zipped up above his neck, and the black rattan stick was carried on his back, giving him the demeanor of a great hero.
At noon, the two men were still wandering in the woods, and it was not until dusk that the path changed.
A temple appeared in front of us.
A lonely temple.
Su Qingyun had walked through the Lonely Temple dungeon alone before, but compared with the previous Lonely Temple, the temple in front of him was obviously better.
It's not that run-down.
The blue bricks, green tiles and vermilion lacquer are a little mottled but still thick, and the plaque hanging high above the door is free of cobwebs.
The floor tiles are also very flat and solid. If you look closely, you can even see the scene of pilgrims coming in an endless stream during the period of prosperity.
"Chuiling Temple." Su Qingyun read out the words on the plaque, thinking that there was another scene that was scary just by looking at the name.
The five-star interwoven copy of the Skeleton Swamp - Chuiling Temple, and Linhu Village really brings together the elements of all strange events.
Which scene is this that has been contaminated? Is it from the movie? The script? The novel?
Or the culmination of all.
Su Qingyun shook her head, walked around the incense burner in front of the temple, and headed towards the main hall.
The system voice sounded: [Rules for entering Chui Ling Temple...]
Su Qingyun closed her eyes and listened quietly with a pious attitude.
There are ten rules in total. Su Qingyun raised his wrist to check the time. It was five forty-seven in the evening.
There are still thirteen minutes until the temple is banned.
Su Qingyun picked up three incense sticks from the incense table, lit them on the eternal lamp, fanned them out, put his hands together, and offered the incense.
Xu Xinghe came over and did the same.
The bells in the temple rang loudly, dang-dang-dang, three times.
Su Qingyun lit the incense and stepped into the main hall without distraction.
The door closed behind him, and rows of candles lit on the shrine.
A temple priest in a brown monk's robe walked out from behind the Buddha statue. He bowed to Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe and asked, "Two donors, are you here to offer incense or worship the Buddha in the evening?"
"Excuse me, we're tourists visiting Linhu Village. We got lost in the woods and came here because we saw a temple. It's getting late now, and we're cold and hungry. We'd like to stay here for one night and try to find our way through the woods tomorrow."
"I see. But if you want to stay overnight, you have to get the consent of our abbot." The temple keeper made a gesture of invitation to the side, asking Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe to follow him to the monks' quarters at the back.
The two of them went.
The monk's quarters were not big, but were kept very clean. The temple keeper reported quietly in front of a meditation room, and soon a thin old monk came out.
"Two benefactors, would you like to stay overnight?"
"Yes." Su Qingyun replied and said that she would donate some money for incense.
"Amitabha, well done, well done."
As soon as he finished speaking, the temple keeper took out an incense tray and asked Su Qingyun to put the incense money into it.
Really, fast.
Su Qingyun took out a hundred-yuan paper money from her bag and put it on the paper.
The old monk chanted the Buddha's name again, and then asked the temple warden to take the two of them to the dormitory in the back to rest.
In the backyard, there are two dormitories, one in the east and one in the west.
The temple keeper handed each of them a candle and left.
Su Qingyun and Xu Xinghe looked at the candles in their hands without saying a word. When the courtyard door closed, they both let go of the candles at the same time.
