The old woods at night are not very quiet, and the silence in the imagination really only exists in the imagination;

The northern wind, like the loud and violent voice of the northern man, kept blowing, like a huge hand, playing this old forest as a string.

There's no rhyme, and there's no reliable staff, but it's so messy. After a long time, I'm actually used to it.

A middle-aged man carrying a box of batteries came to a stream,

He actually regretted it,

Battery,

I bought it a little early.

It's like traveling to a place. It's usually the day before you go back or even the day you go back, just make do with buying some "special products" at the airport or railway station.

How can you buy many specialties on the first day and then keep them in your hands and run around?

Moreover, compared with Goubuli steamed stuffed bun, which Tianjin people don't eat, and zhangfei beef, which Chengdu people don't eat,

Similar to the above two "local specialties" that can only be purchased in specialty stores,

This battery,

Is it hard to buy?

All over the street,

You can buy it at any grocery store.

But since I bought it,

Just take it.

The battery should not be damp,

So the man carefully wrapped several layers with plastic paper and put it on the pile of leaves across the stream.

Immediately,

He walked to the brook,

Squat down,

Scoop up a handful of water,

Start washing your hands,

He washed very seriously, very seriously. Unfortunately, boss Zhou was not here. Otherwise, if he saw it, he might feel sorry for the other party's serious attitude of washing hands.

They are all clean people.

Wash your hands,

Dumped,

The man sat on the ground.

The water level of the stream,

Began to fall slowly,

At a rate visible to the naked eye,

And in the middle of the stream,

Gradually revealed a cornice.

For thousands of years, Chinese people have always had their own persistence and unique aesthetics in housing construction, and they are so meticulous that even the eaves have unique designs.

From the current perspective, everyone in those days actually lived in "works of art", but now, they are throwing themselves into the cage of the apartment, like living in a larger urn in advance;

The difference is that some caskets are the same as those plastic caskets with dried fruit and melon seeds. They are divided into several grids, which leads to the style of two sets of three sets of caskets.

Under the stream,

It is a temple,

I just don't know how many years ago,

The temple was buried and probably collapsed,

Perhaps this cornice, which is still slightly better preserved, has now become its only pride, reminding it of its former glory.

This is a Chenghuang Temple.

The little yellow light began to condense next to the man, and finally condense the figure of a scholar.

The scholar was dressed in yellow imperial clothes,

The whole person looks very tired.

You can clearly feel a breath of decay from him, and there is a little broken in the unobtrusive corner position.

"I thought I'd never see you again."

The scholar said.

The man nodded, "yes."

That year,

Both of them are people from the Central Plains, that is, people from Henan now, and their families are rich;

This is nonsense,

Just like today's childe who is tired of playing with other things and always likes to pursue novel stimulation, with the traffic level of those years, the two can actually travel from Henan to the northeast, which is the Northeast position of the northeast. They really can't do such a thing without money at home.

Just in the same year, he was young, and he was swift and powerful;

"Later, did you pass the exam?" The scholar asked.

"Top of the list."

The scholar smelled the words, showing an angry color, and appeared very indignant, "if it weren't for my illness."

"It's not that you died and stimulated me here. On the contrary, it's because you died and lost such a playmate. Suddenly, you feel that many things are very boring, so you just shut up and study."

"Read and read, and accidentally passed the exam?"

"Sort of."

The scholar laughed,

The man also smiled.

That year,

The two traveled here together,

It was still a market town,

The scholar caught the cold here and didn't make it through. It's gone.

The middle-aged man buried the scholar here.

A thousand years later,

One became a local city God here,

One is the king of hell.

"I've heard a lot about you." Scholar way.

"I know you must know a lot about me."

The scholar nodded.

"I've been waiting for you to come to me." The man said.

"I won't come to you."

"I also know you won't come to me."

The man said,

And the scholar laughed again.

Why don't you come to my house?

Don't agree, I mean it!

Friends of those years have made a fortune,

It's also human nature to find a relationship, change a place and ask for help.

Look at the scholar now,

The incense here has been broken for many years,

The temple was destroyed and almost disappeared. It was buried by dust, and the human smoke was extremely thin. There were no people. Where else to find incense?

The scholar's Dharma body has been broken to this point.

Estimated,

There is less than ten years left.

"I didn't expect to see you before I left."

"I didn't expect myself to come up at this time. By the way, do you know batteries? I bought a lot this time."

In words,

With a little show off tone to old friends,

Very naive,

Also very pure.

"Times are different." The scholar sighed.

The middle-aged man frowned,

He didn't want the topic to turn in that direction,

Simple reunion of old friends,

Bad?

"My place is sparsely populated, and there is no incense, but the city gods everywhere are basically the same now."

Speaking of which,

The scholar looked at his old friend.

The City God was under the jurisdiction of the Yin division. They were detached and basically served as local heroes.

Their existence, their continuation, and their prosperity and decline cannot really be measured by simple incense.

This is a general trend,

One is deliberately indulged, and the other is artificially created.

A City God, a king of hell,

Like a general guarding the border,

Ask the current cabinet elder,

Why did the imperial court cut off the pay of the border troops?

Don't the court know that if this goes on, the city god system will collapse and the building will collapse?

But in fact,

As we all know,

Everyone knows it, everyone knows it.

Lawyer an and Feng Si'er, this kind of patrol inspection at the middle and lower levels can see that the ship is going to sink, not to mention other people sitting higher?

The higher a person sits, the clearer the tremor he will feel once the foundation begins to be unstable.

The middle-aged man didn't speak.

"The order of yin and Yang cannot be changed." The scholar continued to sigh.

The middle-aged man sighed and said:

"Before going down this time, I will go back to our home to have a look. I heard that your former house has now become a cultural relics and scenic spot and has been preserved."

"In the old days, it was just a swallow in front of the Wang Xie hall." The scholar looked at the middle-aged man very seriously, "no matter how bright and beautiful the empty shell is, what's the significance of it?"

"It's better than leaving nothing."

"Do you know why you can inherit everything left by Mount Tai so smoothly after the last generation disappeared?"

The middle-aged man pursed his lips and closed his eyes. His impatient expression was very clear.

He is not good at hiding his emotions,

First, there is no need,

In this world,

People who need him to flatter deliberately, pretend to close his emotions and face,

There are really not many,

Even the Bodhisattva,

At most, it can only be counted as half.

What's more?

It is easy to open your heart when your friends meet again when you are young.

The scholar actually saw it, but the scholar pretended not to see it, but continued:

"Because you have inherited everything, the pattern and system of Mount Tai.

The mansion is gone,

One becomes another,

ha-ha,

In other words,

One becomes ten of you,

It really doesn't matter.

What's the difference between sitting in the top chair with one person, ten people or a hundred people for the crowd below?

Anyway,

I can't sit on it again. "

At this point, the scholar laughed again, but this time the middle-aged man didn't laugh.

"In fact, I'm really unwilling." The scholar stretched out his hand, and a cup appeared in his hand. The cup contained stream water, substituting water for wine, and took a sip, "I'm really not reconciled. If I knew today, how could we have been......"

The middle-aged man coughed and said:

"It's meaningless to say this now."

At the beginning, you didn't stop it, or you acquiesced.

Now?

what is done cannot be undone,

It's useless to say anything else.

For thousands of years,

What really made the middle-aged man feel a little strange and curious was the head hound who dared to speak out in the silence of the crowd.

"This is the general trend. Under the general trend, you can't stop it, nor can I."

The middle-aged man sighed.

"The question is, have you blocked it? Have you tried it?

Or,

You're out of the way,

Even standing behind and pushing? "

"In what capacity are you talking to me?"

"The City God and the king of hell? Were they friends who traveled together in those days? What do you say?"

The middle-aged man was silent.

"As a City God, as a minister of yin and Yang, do I have the right to criticize?

As an old friend, in the face of former like-minded partners, can we have the responsibility of exhortation and mutual encouragement? "

The middle-aged man remained silent.

The scholar began to burn,

"I still have ten years to live. So far, I didn't expect you to come, but I've been looking forward to your coming.

Right now,

Now that you're here, I'll tell you one thing with the rest of my ten years.

great mansion on the point of collapse,

The higher you stand,

The worse you fall! "

"Boom!"

The scholar's body burst,

The terrible yellow fire began to rage out.

The middle-aged man sat there motionless,

A black aperture appeared around him,

Completely block this raging karma,

outside,

The flames are surging,

But he was at ease.

He looked up,

Looking up at the dark night sky,

Even if the karma fire continues to burn outside,

He laughed,

He laughed and said:

"The building will collapse, the building will collapse,

ha-ha,

Who told you,

I'm still upstairs? "
