Chapter 96 Incense Money(1/2)
"Put your head, I'm leaving."
He leaned on his head with a crutch and told me, "Go and go back quickly."
I nodded and walked away quickly with my bag on my back.
I believe in my intuition, this trip only has one word:
"quick!"
Xiaoxuan is in a coma, unable to eat or drink, and cannot take care of herself at all ages.
I want to go back soon, I want to find the can of copper coins and bring them back!
.....
One day later.
"Hello."
"Young man! Young man! Wake up!"
I opened my eyes.
The fat sister who sold tickets and collected money said, "I'm going to Tianguangdong Village soon. Don't you want to get off the bus?"
"Oh, I'm here, thank you sister."
The eldest sister shook her head with her bag on her shoulder: "Young man, you haven't been sleeping for a few days. You're so tired. I'll say more. Your body is the capital of revolution. Don't get tired of yourself."
I opened the door and got out of the bus, and the bus with black smoke exhaust gas walked away.
When I returned to Tianguangdong Village again, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity and a sense of change in things.
The owner of the village convenience store, the old man sitting under the tree, hurt the snake landlord Li Eryuan, and the pregnant wife of Tang Gui...
The house is still there, the trees are still there, and these people are gone.
Passing by Xiao Tang's door, there was a bicycle parked at the door. I hesitated for a few seconds and didn't come forward to knock on the door.
When I arrived outside the house I lived in before, I put down my bag, turned my head and saw that there was no one on the left and right, and climbed over the wall and entered.
Everything is as usual.
What we looked like when we left, but there was a layer of fallen leaves in the courtyard.
I found a leather bucket in the corner of the yard wall, and there were two sets of second-hand diving equipment I bought.
I took it out and wiped it, sat in the yard, waiting for the night to come.
At around 10 o'clock in the evening, I took my things to the wall and walked out sneakily to the Guizailing pond.
Guizai Ridge has already been covered with iron wire walls. Lao Hu lives in a small house with a locked door. The room is pitch black and people don’t know where they are going.
I changed into my wetsuit, checked it quickly, and did not hesitate, turned on the headlight, and jumped into the pond with a thud.
The water quality was turbid, and there were no fish or shrimps. I saw a few aquatic plants shaking in the water. The corpse of the dragon monkey disappeared. When I saw the big hole at the bottom of the water, I swam over hard.
The sound of breaking water.
I floated up and swam quickly to the shore.
The reflective sign on the limestone wall is still there, so I took off my cover and walked along the cave to the depths.
It's very dark here and the surroundings are quiet.
Apart from the sound of my own footsteps, I can only hear the sound of ticks.
"who!"
I held up the flashlight and turned my head suddenly.
No one, I'm too nervous.
Walking to the wet and slippery slope, I tied the rope and slid down the wall.
I found the hole in the wall, and the hole in the wall was empty.
Slide to the bottom and loosen the rope, and a few minutes later, I found the broken jar and the old copper coins scattered all over the floor.
I picked up all of them without leaving them, and turned around and left.
Soon I stopped and went back.
With my memory, I walked around for nearly two hours and found the secret room.
In the secret room, the broken yellow canvas are still hanging on the top of the cave.
The flashlight shone downwards and saw a dead skull, which was connected to the straw body.
I squatted down and said, "Master Chen, I'm back to see you."
The skull's eye sockets were two black holes, staring at me, as if I wanted to talk to me.
"Master Chen, I have got the copper coins you have hidden in the cave, thank you."
As soon as I finished speaking, the skull suddenly fell down by itself, dripping and rolling aside.
Close your eyes and a picture appeared in my mind.
Two hundred years ago, a female Taoist priest with sword eyebrows and starry eyes burned incense and chanted scriptures here.
The green smoke rose into the air. There were copper coins on the tribute table in front of her, and three pillars of incense were inserted into the manger stove.
Those are the money for incense that has been opened up.
The most yang thing in the world is the incense money passed down from generation to generation.
When I opened my eyes, I returned to the ruined scene.
I recalled another thing.
That day we also picked up a manger copper incense burner imitating Xuande from Guangxu.
Now, the stove should be used by Chen Meiqing to burn incense. After the incense money was consecrated here, she took the money jar and accidentally fell off one.
More than 190 years later, Douyazai picked up this copper coin here.
And it was this copper coin that guided me to return here again.
All of this is like there is God's will in the dark.
“Huh?”
Is there something?
I raised the flashlight and saw something hidden on the wall of the tribute table that was in dirt.
I quickly went over and thought to myself, thinking that Chen Meiqing had something hidden in the wall again?
I poked the flashlight in reverse and I poked it hard on the wall a few times.
It collapsed, revealing a hole of not small diameter.
I bit the flashlight and reached in and dug it out.
Very deep...
Suddenly! I felt a lot of living things crawling on my arms!
He pulled his hand out suddenly!
Fuck!
All live veins!
There are at least dozens! I crawled all over my arms!
I shouted, jumped, and slapped the crooked snails on my body.
There are more and more dense windings! They are all crawling out of the holes in the wall.
Seeing this, I hurriedly ran away with my bag on my back!
This is not a treasure cave, there is a huge winding nest on the wall!
I was bitten a few times on the back of my hand and it was swollen. I couldn't see the bitten wound, but it was indeed red and swollen.
Two hours later, I surfaced and swam quickly to the shore to change my clothes.
At this time, the sky is getting brighter and the copper coins have been obtained. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time.
My back of my hand was very red and swollen, and blisters were caused. The blisters were painful and itchy after being scratched. The blisters were toxic, but I knew that they would not kill people, so I simply washed them with clean water and detergent.
I found a place without a person in the village, so I lit the diving suit and burned it.
Passing by Xiao Tang's door again, I stopped for a few seconds, stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Here you come!"
"Brother Xiang?"
Xiao Tang opened the door and saw me, and was obviously surprised.
I smiled and said, "Is your grandma at home? I'll take a look at her."
