My monsters are going to heaven

The bell tower is in the east of Jinling Town, and the drum tower is in the west.

Morning bell and evening drum.Reminding people day and night, day and night.Now that the times have advanced, many people have clocks in their homes, but the bells and drums in Jinling Town have never stopped.

Lu Yiming has been to many places, domestic and foreign.But I really feel that there is no place where the bells are as clear and loud as the bells in Jinling Town, and there is no place where the drums are more vigorous and long than the drums in Jinling Town.

Every morning when the bell rang, Kimporo would stare blankly in the direction of the bell.

So Lu Yiming planned to take Kim Poro to the clock tower early this morning.

It was daylight.There are faint stars twinkling in the shadow beside Dongfang Yubai.

On the streets, sporadic people began to come out with burdens to make a living.

Lu Yiming hadn't woken up so early for a long time. While stretching and yawning, he led Kimporo to the East Street.I was thinking about what happened last night in my heart, thinking in a trance, was it a dream?But I also knew in my heart that it was definitely not a dream, but that I really saw it with my own eyes.Sister Chen must not let this matter know, she is tough on the surface, but she is still a little woman in her heart.Do you want to invite Taoist priests to catch demons?For example, the old Taoist Mo looked pretty good yesterday.Don't know where he lives?What is the price?

After thinking about it, what should Ah Jin do?Will the Taoist arrest him too?Forget it, Ah Jin can scare ghosts by himself, and there is no need for a Taoist priest to come to his door.

Qian Jin, a clerk from the cloth shop next door to Lu Ji Drugstore, just came out of the alley, and met Lu Yiming face to face, and was quite surprised: "Oh, isn't this Young Master Lu? You are going to the shop early in the morning? Out west."

Although Master Lu passed away a few years ago, because Lu Yiming was young, people in the town still used to call him 'Master Lu'.

Lu Yiming smiled, "No, I'll take my friend up to the bell tower." Pointing to Jin Poluo, "My surname is Jin."

"Is this your foreign friend?" Qian Jin looked at Jin Poluo secretly, "Hello, Young Master Jin." He had heard about this foreigner before, and had actually met him once before, but it was the first time he was so close bump into.It looks really good, tsk tsk, beautiful and strange, the eyeballs are like colored glaze.

Kimporo didn't seem to hear it, he lowered his head and played with a piece of paper in his hand.Strange symbols were printed on the yellow paper.

Lu Yiming poked Kimporo, pointed to Qian Jin, and said, "Little Qian." He taught Kimporo several times to behave well, but Kimporo always ignored people.It's no wonder, after all, Kim Poro is indifferent to his master.

Kim Poro raised his head and glanced at Qian Jin, and unexpectedly responded with a rare yes.

"Look at the clock..." Qian Jin seemed to think of something, "The old clock in Jinling Town must be hundreds of years old. According to the bell ringer, it is almost mature."

"Have you cultivated human form?" Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing.

"That's not true, the bell ringer said," Qian Jin said in a low voice, "One time, he overslept and forgot to ring the bell, but the bell rang by itself when it was o'clock! It rang neatly for six Next, it’s a lot. Don’t you think this is becoming a fine thing?”

Lu Yiming didn't really believe it, "I guess some fellow kindly rang it for him." He had seen the person who rang the bell before, and he was talking nonsense all day long. , As a result, Lu Yiming lost two shops within a few days.

"Hey, who knows. I won't tell you anymore. I'll go to the shop to get the goods first. See you later." After Qian Jin finished speaking, he trotted away and disappeared.

After Lu Yiming and Kim Poro continued to walk a few steps forward, the bell rang.

Dangdang bells resounded over the small town, a total of six times.

Clear, ethereal.

Lu Yiming raised his head, the night and stars had disappeared in the sky, and a hot red light was rising from the east.

The sound of the bell seemed to drive away the last trace of darkness and bring infinite light.

Before the two of them reached the bell tower, they saw a man hunched over and running past in small steps.

Lu Yiming was taken aback for a moment, huh?Isn't this the old man who rings the bell?

The old man ran to the bottom of the clock tower, took out a large rusty key from his waist, and opened the tiger-head lock on the gate of the clock tower.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but stepped forward and patted him, "Who rang the bell just now?"

The old man was taken aback by him. When he turned around and saw him, he smiled wrinkledly, "Master Lu! Hehehe. I drank too much last night. I was too late! My nephew should have helped me just now." Knocked."

"Is there someone else living in this clock tower?" Lu Yiming was startled, "You locked your nephew inside?"

The old man's face was a little embarrassed, "Hey, the house is small and there is no place to live. He just came here to live for a few days. Anyway, he is quiet and doesn't like to go out. It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, I thought this clock was really smart."

The old man scratched his head, "How could Zhong become a master, Young Master Lu really knows how to joke." After a pause, he saw that Lu Yiming had no intention of leaving, "Is this what you want?"

Lu Yiming pointed to Jinpoluo, "I'll take my foreign friend over to see the clock tower. He's a little interested in Chinese culture. The 300-year-old clock in Jinling Town can be regarded as the light of the county."

"Ah? This..." The old man showed embarrassment on his face, "You want to come here as usual, I'm sure you two are welcome to visit, but today... I haven't packed it yet. Actually, this broken clock, Nothing to see."

Lu Yiming hesitated for a while, then took out a piece of ocean and stuffed it into the old man's hand, "We just like to look at this broken clock. It doesn't matter whether you clean it up or not, at most it's just a little dust, we don't dislike it."

The old man, who usually sees Qianqian openly, hesitated for a while, but he still stuffed Dayang back, "Hey! Young Master Lu, I really can't do it today."

"Hehe, do you think it's too little?"

"How can this be? This clock tower does not belong to my house, it belongs to the town. It is free to enter and watch for free." The old man paused, "Just, to tell you the truth, don't laugh at me, my nephew, he is afraid Meet strangers."

Lu Yiming laughed, "Tsk, what's the matter. We went in to look at the clock, not the people, so we won't disturb anyone." He handed the money to the old man again.

The old man accepted the money with a complex expression, and put it in his arms, "Hey, then... okay, I'll go up and tell him first, let him avoid you for now."

The two waited under the bell tower for half a quarter before being invited up by the old man.

There is really nothing to see in the bell tower.Only one column of the rotating ladder soared up.

The old stair treads creaked, and the vermilion paint on the handrails was peeling.The corners are full of spider webs.As he walked faster, the dust on the steps above his head fell in a rustle.

The old man smiled shyly while brushing away the spider webs with his hands, "No one usually comes and doesn't take care of them, hehe."

It was not until the top of the building and the rooftop that the landscape was completely different.

Once out of Yuntai, the sky and the earth are wide.

As one of the two tallest buildings in the town, the Bell Tower can overlook the entire Jinling from the rooftop, and you can even see the Drum Tower facing each other if you look west.Good view.

The big clock hangs in the pavilion in the center of the roof. It is as tall as a person and can only be embraced by three or four people.A thick layer of green embroidery floated on the body of the bronze clock, through which the inscriptions and animal patterns could be faintly seen.

Although Lu Yiming had gone up to the bell tower before, that was a few years ago. At that time, he didn't pay attention to the bell at all. He was only interested in the row upon row of buildings overlooking the entire Jinling, overlooking the green mountains in the distance.At that time, I laughed with my friends and said that the whole Jinling Town looks like a dragon head.He also pointed to his own house and said, there is Lombok, what a good Feng Shui!

Now that I am older and my mind has settled down, I am interested in the inscription on it. I want to read it carefully but find that it is not printed in Chinese characters.It doesn't look like seal script either.There are all crooked talismans, which look like ghost talismans.

"This is Chongwen." The old man said with a smile.

"Chongwen?" Lu Yiming had never heard of it.

"Chongwen is the word used by our ancestors in Jinling Town before. After being accepted by the Han people, our ancestors gradually intermarried with the Han people and used Chinese characters. The descendants naturally gradually became Han people, and gradually there were no people. Let’s use Chongwen again,” the old man sighed, “it’s been lost for a long time. I can’t understand it either. I just read these from the notebook in the clock tower.”

"It's a pity." Lu Yiming had never heard his grandfather and father mention the old things in Jinling, and perhaps they knew very little about it in their generation.

He lightly stroked the inscription on the clock face, and the rough tingling sensation came from his fingertips, as if the old clock was trying to tell him something.

It may record a glorious history, it may sing the praises of a great figure, or it may be a hymn or a lesson...

But now, no one can understand.

Lu Yiming let out a barely audible sigh.

How lonely it must be.

Turning his head, he found that Kimporo was concentrating on the inscriptions and patterns on it, as if he could understand it, and walked around the clock slowly, walking several times.

Lu Yiming looked amused at his rare serious appearance, and wanted to ask him if he understood, but before he could speak, he heard the commotion of the crowd under the clock tower.

Looking down, I saw a police car heading southeast, followed by a team of uniformed policemen with guns and batons also trotting southeast.

Followed by people in the town, there are about five or sixty people in a rough count.

Looking at this battle, something big happened.

Far away, listening to the noise of people, I don't know what the big event is.The three hurried down.

When they got to the side of the road, Lu Yiming grabbed a girl who was running slowly and asked him a question.

The girl he recognized was the maid of the boss Lu's house in Qinhang. She was crying and said, "Next door, the Chen family next door, be, be, be, be!"

"Have you been robbed?"

Next door to Boss Lu is the Chen family of the pawn shop. Although Boss Chen came from a wealthy family, he is low-key and kind-hearted.

The girl shook her head like a rattle, and softly said three words: "The family is destroyed."

He heard Miemen Lu Yiming's head buzzing.

...Mie, door?How to destroy, what door to destroy?Is it the Miemen that popped up in his mind?

There are at least fifty people in the Chen family.How could it be destroyed.

The author has something to say: Chong: Yin Tongcong

In order to show that this is a tall and lost text, I specially used a rare word, wow haha
