long night fire

He kept his sitting posture unchanged, pinched his temples on both sides ritually, and entered his own spiritual room.

Above the "Sea of ​​Origin", Xiaochong's gap is still deep and silent, as if frozen in time.

In "Soul Corridor", in room "102", a giant bird flies over the sea like it never stops.

Shang Jianyao exited the "Soul Corridor" in disappointment, picked up the walkie-talkie, and reported to Jiang Baimianhui:

"It's all normal."

Jiang Baimian frowned, and after reconfirming that everything was as usual, he asked Long Yuehong and Bai Chen to return while walking under the old locust tree.

Soon, the four members of the "Old Tune Group" surrounded the assembled skeleton, and Bai Chen and Long Yuehong carefully did not disarm.

"What should we do next?" After a moment of silence, Long Yuehong asked.

Jiang Baimian thought for a while and said:

"Although no abnormality was found in the last Buddhist holy place, the corpse itself can also 'talk'.

"Go back and get some instruments, bring Old Ge, and measure the age of this corpse and how many years ago it died, to see whether he died before the destruction of the old world, or when the old world was destroyed, or the old world A long time after destruction.

"He is suspected to be the incarnation of 'Zhuang Sheng'. Clarifying these issues will help us investigate the truth of the destruction of the old world."

Jiang Baimian was very cautious, and did not completely equate this corpse with Du Shaochong and "Zhuang Sheng" incarnate body painting.

"Why don't you just put it in the trunk and take it to Weed City to find Lao Ge?" Long Yuehong asked puzzled.

Looking at the corpse, Jiang Baimian said:

"Hey, the shadow of the cruise ship that I experienced tells us that the things that are closely related to themselves left on the dust by the strong in the 'New World' may form nodes connecting the 'New World' and bring various dangers. Probability works too.

"If this is really the bones of the incarnation of 'Zhuang Sheng', if we keep it around for a long time, maybe all of us will suffer from 'innocent disease'."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

That's right... Long Yuehong was taken aback in horror, a little bit scared of running around with the broken bones on her back.

Fortunately, this only lasted for a day and a night.

The "Old Tune Group" was more inclined that the incomplete bones and breastplates brought by the three relic hunters were fake.

"Yeah." Bai Chen agreed with the team leader's disposition, "Leave the badge here too, and I'll let Lao Ge identify whether it's fake or not."

Jiang Baimian looked at Linhe Village, which was sunk in darkness, nodded and said:

"Then bury the skeleton with the breastplate.

"We gray earth people pay attention to a person who can be buried in the ground."

"But I have to dig it out later and let Lao Ge test it." Shang Jianyao said truthfully.

Jiang Baimian glared at him:

"At this time, at this time, at this time."

Shang Jianyao didn't dare to say any more, honestly put the bones and breastplate into the hole dug earlier, then called Long Yuehong to fill up the soil one by one.

It didn't take long for them to bury Du Shaochong's body, which was suspected to be complete.

Shang Jianyao picked up the "Six Consciousness Pearl", stood beside the land under the old locust tree, and recited the Buddha's name with a compassionate face:

"Nan Wu..."

As soon as he uttered two words, out of the corner of Jiang Baimian's eyes, he suddenly saw yellowish or pure white lights lit up not far away.

They all belong to Linhe Village, which is sleeping in the dark.

Chapter 12

Jiang Baimian had seen too many abnormalities, but his pupils were slightly dilated, so he kept calm.

She suppressed her voice and said to Shang Jianyao and others:

"Look over there."

Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Shang Jianyao followed the prompts and looked sideways at Linhe Village.

That little light reflected into their eyes at the same time.

This looks very warm, like waiting for someone returning from the night, but compared with the whole environment and the previous dead silence, it is so creepy.

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

This directly dispelled all kinds of fears in Long Yuehong's heart.

"It turns out that the anomaly can only be triggered if the bones are returned to their integrity and buried in the ground." Shang Jianyao said in a tone of sudden realization.

He then wondered to himself:

"But Buddhism doesn't all talk about the skin of the flesh, isn't it best to burn it clean? Why does Shi Zi Zai Tathagata want to bury the remains intact?"

"After all, he is still the 'Zhuang Sheng' of Taoism." Jiang Baimian simply replied.

Bai Chen looked at Linhe Village, which was lit up with lights, and instinctively put on a defensive posture.

At this time, she thought about it and said:

"Does the abnormal occurrence mean that this corpse really belongs to Du Shaochong, the incarnate body of 'Zhuang Sheng'?"

"Not necessarily." Shang Jianyao replied honestly, "What if this bone comes from the incarnation of 'Bodhi'? It can also inspire abnormalities in Buddhist holy places."

Jiang Baimian nodded:

"Although there are other possibilities, but the matter has developed to the present, this bone belongs to Du Shaochong, and the probability of belonging to the incarnation of 'Zhuang Sheng' is over 90.00%."

This basically confirms two things:

One, this pieced together complete skeleton belongs to Du Shaochong;

Second, Du Shaochong is indeed the incarnation of "Zhuang Sheng".

——In the previous dream of Taicheng No. [-] High School, because everyone is the manifestation of a certain personality of "Zhuang Sheng" and has the same past, the "Old Tune Group" is still not completely sure that Du Shaochong is "Zhuang Sheng" ", after all, he may be a certain personality of "Zhuang Sheng" playing a certain past classmate.

The reason why the "Old Tune Group" tentatively equated Du Shaochong with "Zhuang Sheng" incarnation was because he was indeed a motivating point, and someone they met before was called Xiao Chong.

As the ruins of Swamp No. 1 are confirmed to be Dajiang City, and Yingcai Junior High School is located in the street next to the "Urban Smart Network Control Center", the possibility that Du Shaochong will be like Xiaochong when he grows up, and the incarnation of "Zhuang Sheng" will become more and more likely. bigger.

Even more so now.

During the communication between teammates, Shang Jianyao looked at the little lights in Linhe Village and said eagerly:

"Would you like to explore?"

"It's too dangerous." Long Yuehong immediately objected, "If, like Taicheng No. [-] Senior High School, you fall into the dream of 'Zhuang Sheng' after entering, and play someone, there will be no Lao Ge to save us this time. .”

Shangjian Yao gave a plan with confidence:

"Two people go in, and two people stay outside. If something is wrong, immediately go to Wild Grass City and ask Lao Ge to save the scene."

"It normally takes ten days and a half months to go back and forth, and those who fall into the dreamland will definitely not last that long." Bai Chen chose to stand by Long Yuehong's side.

Jiang Baimian let out a "hmm":

"Don't worry, let's take a look.

"It's not like Taicheng No. [-] Senior High School. From the outside, everything looks normal. We can find something wrong when we stand here."

While talking, Jiang Baimian picked up the binoculars and brought it close to his eyes.

Shang Jianyao and others followed suit.

With the help of the yellowish or pure white lights, they saw figures of people in many houses in Linhe Village, full of smoke and fire.

Those people were old and young, men and women, watching TV, swiping their mobile phones, or forming a table, playing cards or mahjong, and each window presented a different scene.

"Is this the scene before the destruction of the old world?" Long Yuehong whispered to herself.

This is beyond doubt, the point is only how many days, or how many months, how many years before the destruction of the old world.

Jiang Baimian thought for a moment and said:

"This should be Linhe Village around the Chinese New Year in a certain year."

"Why do you say that?" Long Yuehong blurted out.

Jiang Baimian simply explained:

"I have studied a lot of humanistic materials and local folk customs in the old world, and many of them mentioned one point:

"In most gray-earth villages, there are fewer and fewer young people due to the absorption and aggregation effect of the city. Only around the Chinese New Year can there be such a lively scene of family reunion."

Clap, clap, Shang Jianyao clapped his hands.

It makes sense... Long Yuehong felt more and more the gap between herself and the team leader.

In the same scene, the team leader can see more details and infer more information.

"I remember that the old world was destroyed a few days before the Chinese New Year in a certain year." Bai Chen thought for a while.

This is justified, and the memories of Tian Erhe in Shuiwei Town at the time also confirmed this point.

Jiang Baimian was about to nod his head when he suddenly saw many children coming out of a certain shop on the largest and only street in Linhe Village, holding fireworks sticks one after another, happily playing with them.

They are not very old, and the only ones they can buy are the safest ones. The fireworks erupt weakly and little by little, still bringing a dreamlike beauty.

"Xiao Chong!" Shang Jianyao suddenly said.

Long Yuehong and the others then saw that the leader of the group of children looked very similar to Xiao Chong, with a fleshy face, wrapped in a black padded jacket.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baimian thought about it and said:

"It's very similar to Xiao Chong, but it seems to be younger, only five or six years old."

Xiao Chong, whom the "Old Tune Group" knew, was about seven or eight years old, and sometimes when he spoke, he felt like he was ten years old.

"I understand!" Shang Jianyao held a telescope in one hand and patted his face with the other, "This is Xiao Chong's childhood!"

When Xiao Chong was a child... Xiao Chong was equal to Du Shaochong. Du Shaochong had studied in Taicheng No. [-] High School. Now this scene was many years before the destruction of the old world...Jiang Baimian has a new judgment based on this.

Long Yuehong and Bai Chen also had similar thoughts at almost the same time.

They continued to observe the situation in Linhe Village through the binoculars, focusing on the group of children.

The kid suspected to be Xiao Chong led his friends, bouncing towards the entrance of the village, setting off fireworks along the way, very happy.

Suddenly, with a grunt, he turned and walked towards the dark place at the entrance of the village.

Jiang Baimian judged from the shape of his mouth that what Xiao Chong said should be "go pee".

Of course, she didn't understand lip language very well, so she wasn't sure that was the case.

When she was hard of hearing, she used to combine lip movements, body language, and environmental factors to judge the specific meaning when faced with a scene where she couldn't hear clearly and was embarrassed to ask.

Soon, Xiao Chong found a place, pulled off the zipper of his pants, and peed.

This confirmed Jiang Baimian's judgment.

And Xiao Chong's partners all followed, regardless of gender, they all lined up with him, standing or squatting, or pulling their zippers or taking off their pants to urinate.

"Isn't this too tidy?" Long Yuehong wondered to herself.

Shang Jian Yao laughed out loud:

"It's normal to go to the toilet together at such a late hour, and it's only courageous to be together."

It's normal!Jiang Baimian began to slander.

Even if the group of children really wanted to go to the toilet together to strengthen their courage, they couldn't all go. There would always be a few who didn't want to pee, and there were a few little girls among them.

Bai Chen then said:

"It's quite normal if there are only three or four people, but here are eleven or twelve."

During the discussion of the "Old Tune Group", Xiao Chong finished urinating and pulled up the zipper.

He immediately yelled at his friends.

Because the voice was louder this time, and they had already walked out of the village, not too far from the old locust tree, so Jiang Baimian and others heard it clearly:

"How did you keep learning from me?

"I didn't think about it before, but as soon as I said I wanted to pee, I came to pee."

The other children responded eagerly:

"I suddenly thought about it."
