One Pillow Huaxu

The reason for the crack is nothing else. A rough soil forest pillar with a diameter of three to four meters has grown in the center. We are now at the bottom of it. This thing directly penetrates the soil layer on the top all the way up. .

There are murals all around, but the paintings here are all about the land of bliss, surrounded by auspicious clouds, birds flapping their wings on the lotus pond, various Buddhist gods standing in it, musical instruments playing in unison, and a school of singing and dancing.

On the wall behind the soil forest pillars, there are also extremely small doors drawn.But here, there are more than a dozen doors on three walls, and there are stone slabs behind them, so it seems that they are all sealed.

I fixed my eyes on those doors, and suddenly heard Li Cu shouting: "Wu Xie, don't fucking stand there, pull this fat man!"

When I came back to my senses, I turned around and saw that the fat man was still stuck at the entrance of the hole.Li Cu and the others seemed to be blocked behind, and there was a lot of cursing at this moment.

But when I turned around, I was stunned again.There are also countless Buddhist relics painted on this wall, which is in stark contrast to the wall when we came in.Among them is a creature with a human head and a bird body, holding a musical instrument and singing among the clouds.

Kalavinka.

The word popped into my head in an instant.I stared straight at the wall until the fat man yelled again, and Poker Face walked up to me and pinched my shoulder. Then I realized that I looked back and dragged the fat man out of the hole together with him.

The rest of the people filed in, all exclaiming at the scene.A guy looked at the back wall: "Why are there so many doors?"

"It's the real entrance." I said, but I felt a little irritated for some reason, and couldn't help taking out a cigarette.The waistcoat leaned over to light it for me, and at the same time asked: "Then there are too many, which one should I go?"

I didn't answer, I frowned and looked around.In addition to earthen pillars, murals and countless doors in this room, there are also a large number of iron ancient weapon remains in the corner, including shields, armor and broadswords, most of which are long swords.

The rest of the guys began to walk around the house. Although the weapons were in good condition, they were stained with rust. They quickly diverted their attention. Someone tried to peel off the reflective scriptures on the wall.In ancient times, the Ngari region was rich in gold, silver and silver. A scripture written with gold and silver juice was found in Tuolin Temple, Zaburang, and Piyangdongga.

"Don't move anything." I watched the man's movements and said coldly.

The man paused, but the knife stopped, and turned to look at me: "I'll save you now and call you Little Buddha Wu."

As he said that, he took a sip: "I coaxed that Qingya to follow your buttocks along the way. The land is already here, and you still want to sit on the handle? I advise you to go back, don't force me to make a fool of myself." .”

"Lao Wu Li, you want to rebel?" Li Cuo's expression turned cold when he heard this.

"I don't dare, the big guys are all rich, who dares to block the way of making money for the master." The man snorted, "It's just Wu Xiaofo, you have to be clear about being a man. Now whether it's a land or something else, Now that you have retreated, there is no reason to sit up again."

He walked to a door, raised his hand, and knocked hard on the stone slab: "This slab is more brittle than Lao Tzu's foot basin. There are only a dozen of them, and I will destroy them all in a few strokes."

While talking, he saw his eyes sweeping aside, found a discarded shovel, and swung it up to smash the door.

I didn't move, I still stood there smoking a cigarette, now I just said in a cold voice: "Vest, let him go."

The vest reacted very quickly, without hesitation, he set up the slingshot, yanked the rubber band and hit the ball into the man's hand.There was only a click, and the other party clutched his wrist and screamed, and the thing in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

"Hit the crack of the door." I took a puff of my cigarette and said again without looking up.

The waistcoat raised his hand again, and the marbles flew over quickly again.This time he tasted the difference in my tone and used a little force.The iron bullet flew directly against the man's face, and hit the door panel with a bang, cracking a small gap.

With the sound of cracking, sand-like things suddenly began to leak from the crack of the door, which was very fine and black in color.It's just that the strength of the waistcoat is controlled just right, the crack is extremely small, and the flow of the hourglass is very slow.

"Poison quicksand!" The man just fell by the door, and the sand almost ran down his face.Seeing this scene, his face turned pale, and he didn't care about the pain in his hands, so he got up quickly and scrambled away from the door.

"Block it." I ordered, and then I walked to the other door and looked around, "If the door is opened by mistake, no one can get out."

After I finished speaking, I looked at Fatty and Poker Bottle.The two knew each other, and walked to my side to guard the door with me.At this time, the surroundings became very quiet, only the movement of quicksand blocking the waistcoat.When I turned around, I saw other people still standing there stupidly with nervous expressions on their faces, and clicked impatiently:

"Work."

It was only then that the people in Changsha Handicap came to their senses and began to look around for hidden mechanisms to open the door.The rest of the people seemed to be surprised by my tone, and looked at Li Cu hesitantly.Li Cu frowned and looked at me, and finally said: "Listen to him."

A group of people began to grope around in the cave, and the flashlights flickered in disorder.As I walked, I scanned the surrounding murals, and suddenly found that some of the patterns seemed to be connected together.For example, the extra stroke on Kalavinka's tail corresponds to the border of the scriptures on the other wall.It's a bit like a jigsaw puzzle, broken into countless places.

I realized that there might be some kind of information hidden, but I couldn't find a switch around any of the doors, where the information was used.

Until Poyouping seemed to find something, he raised his head to observe for a while, and suddenly climbed up the wall and climbed onto the soil forest pillar in the middle.

Fatty and I followed him to the bottom, saw him climb to the middle, stepped on the wall continuously by digging the cracks in the rock, turned around the soil forest pillar, then took out the dagger and plunged into the soil wall, stopping at a certain position.

Poker bottle said: "One more person."

The fat man squatted down and gave me a wink.I climbed onto his back and he slowly stood up and pushed me up.

Poker Bottle didn't climb very high, and when I climbed a few meters, he grabbed me and carried me to my side with one hand.I put my arms around his waist and fixed myself there, asking: "What?"

He raised his chin forward, and I found that there was a large slit tens of centimeters wide, probably in a blind spot of vision, and could only be seen when he came up.I held up the flashlight and took a look inside. The inside was not empty. It was not so much a seam as a large piece of soil outside had fallen off, exposing what was underneath.

The surface of the stone under the soil layer was black, and it was full of narrow and long square holes that were one finger wide.

Poker bottle quickly hugged me, and I didn't care that I almost fell down just now, so I started to scrape the soil layers with a knife.All I saw below was this kind of stone wall full of long and narrow holes, and the square grooves were all over the pillars, as if something poked it into a sieve.

I suddenly understood something, looked at Poker Bottle, he also nodded at me.The fat man below seemed to be waiting impatiently, and shouted: "You two, don't talk about it, what's going on."

I lowered my head and shouted, "Throw a sword up."

The fat man clicked his tongue, and yelled "Get out of the way" to the onlookers, went to the other side of the weapon pile to pick out one, and was just about to instruct Li Cu, but found that his coat was gone, turned his head and said to the waistcoat: " Clothes off."

Not daring to ask more questions about the waistcoat, Ma Liu took off his coat.The fat man wrapped the sword tightly under his clothes, then raised his arms, swung it around a few times, and shouted: "Be careful with the knife edge, let me go!"

The fat man's head was very good, Poker Bottle pulled me, and I caught it when I fished it down.Then I raised the long sword, aiming the point at one of the square slots.

I didn't push it in, but I knew it was a perfect fit with just one head movement.

I turned my head and met Poker-Face's eyes, and the two said one word in unison: "Pirate Barrel."

Notes on slang (cutting): Bud: young people.Dipper handle: leader.Puffed up: Turn your face.Zan'erliang: I understand the rules of the world.The spring point is clear: know the current affairs.

(Eight)

The most difficult thing to find the entrance is to find the location and decipher the rules.Once these two things are determined, the next step is a matter of time.

The earth forest pillar just broke through the rock formation, and we climbed out directly from the crack on the top, and found that this place is in the very center of the earth forest group.The gap is surrounded by yellow sand and covered rock formations, mixed in various shapes of soil forests, if you don't come out from inside, you can't find it at all.

Li Cu took out the walkie-talkie and asked the people from the camp to move here.I don't need to take care of the next thing. There are people in the Xiaohua team who are better at doing follow-up work than me.

Their efficiency was very high. After gathering the personnel and equipment, it took less than a day to open the entrance without losing a single person.

It was already midnight of the next day, and Li Cu had not closed his eyes for two days. He washed his face with cold water, and quickly picked out a group of people to follow him down.

I stood at the entrance and watched him squatting there with a serious expression to pack his equipment, without saying a word, I threw a cigarette over.

Without raising his head, Li Cu reached out to catch it, then stood up without saying a word, looked at me for a few seconds, lit the cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Finally he turned, with his back to me and a wave of his hand, leading the guy to the dark door.

"It's like a handover." The fat man next to him said with a sigh, "Damn it, time has really passed."

I patted him, turned around and climbed up: "You still want to leave early and go up to work the night shift."

The fat man said "hey" and followed behind my buttocks: "You are sending the Buddha to the West, and you will pay the debt to the end. Fatty will accompany you. I will ask Ah Hua for overtime pay later."

The fat man said so, and within a few hours of sitting, he collapsed at the mouth of the tent, snoring loudly.I shook my head and walked over to try to drag him into the tent. When I crouched down, I saw the phone lighted up and a WeChat message box popped up.

The name of the note is Uncle Zhang, and the other party said: I bought it for you, Hong Kong goods, and I will send it tomorrow at the wholesale price.

I thought to myself, why did I get in touch with Zhang Haike, and then I saw the message box popped up, Zhang Haike said: Are you sure Wu Xie needs Haowife Oral Solution?Is there something wrong with his brain or something wrong with your brain.

My movements stopped, and I also recalled that the fat man said that he was shopping online.After a long silence, I took the fat man's hand to unlock the lock screen expressionlessly, and sent a sentence to Zhang Haike: Send it to your mother, I don't need it.

Zhang Haike was silent for a long time before he gave a reply: Wu Xie, you can't just keep your word in business.

I sneered, and typed out a line of words: If you dare to send it, I will ask your patriarch to stuff it with his own letter of repatriation and return it together.

After posting, I changed Zhang Haike's note on Fatty's WeChat to "stupid" and blocked him.Then I turned off the fat man's cell phone, looked down at the fat man smacking his lips and scratching his stomach, and almost kicked him, but finally held back, cursed and dragged him into the tent.

I went back to the bonfire, Poker Fase was still sitting there, saw me coming over with an ugly face, and asked what was wrong.I held back and held back, sat down next to him, and only said: "If Zhang Haike sends something over after I go back, I will refuse to accept it."

Poker bottle raised his eyebrows in confusion, I looked up at him, and added resignedly: "I'm in menopause, and I'm sick."

Hearing this, there was a kind of helplessness in his eyes. Seeing that I was still muttering there, he stretched out his hand and pulled me closer, got up and changed places with me, and even put his coat on me.

I felt the weight on my shoulders, stopped moving, and shut my mouth involuntarily.

Poker-Face didn't make a sound, but raised his hand to stir up the bonfire even more.He sat directly at the air outlet. At this time, it was already night on the Gobi, the temperature dropped sharply, and there were gusts of icy wind blowing around.I turned my head to look at his side face in the firelight, then turned back, wrapped the coat tighter, and buried half of my face in it.

Poker bottle also turned his head to look at me, seemed to think for a while, and said, "Why did you come here?"

I heard the words, lowered my eyes to look at the fire, thought for a long time, and then replied: "I don't remember clearly, the photographer just wants to travel all over the country."

In fact, I didn't quite understand for a long time before, what kind of mood I was when I became "Gugen".If I become a "Guangen", can I temporarily escape from the "Wu Xie" at that time?I have traveled many places with my camera, why I set foot on these lands, and what I was thinking at the time.

The clothes on my body carried the body temperature of a stuffy oil bottle. I smelled the cold air on the Gobi, and felt that familiar smell was very close to me. I continued: "I probably stopped by to experience a pilgrimage and practice in advance. one time."

As I said that, I looked at the endless Gobi, and the mountains in the distance were rolling.The Zada ​​Earth Forest is located between the Gangdise Mountains and the Himalayas. There is a mountain called Gang Rinpoche near here. The peak traverses the plateau, and the peak is covered with snow all the year round. The locals call it the sacred mountain.

I have actually been to other so-called holy mountains, but I am not a qualified believer.Whenever I go to these places, I know I'm just doing it to prepare for what's next.

That's where I end up and where I must go.

Fortunately, this end has long been over.Thinking of this, I took a long breath and saw the white air dissipating in the cold air, accompanied by those heavy past events.

Poker-Face listened quietly, and then suddenly said: "Tibetan Buddhism believes that Kailash is the residence of Shengle Vajra, which represents immeasurable happiness."

I turned my head, and he was looking straight at me, his expression soft in the warm yellow firelight.I couldn't help but smiled and said, "That's good, let's go around after get off work."

Poker bottle said "hmm", I felt relaxed for a while, stretched a lot, and leaned directly on him with a crooked body.He raised his hand naturally and placed it on my shoulder.

We didn't say anything after that, just sat there, looking at the night sky of Gobi through the warm light and flying sparks.On the boundless dark sky, the scattered stars converged into countless long rivers, which flowed straight into the distance.

I saw the stars all over the sky, like rain.

Pokerfing's hand was just around my neck, and I seemed to suddenly recall something, and said casually, "I seem to have dreamed that you were not good at needlework in that dream a while ago."

When Pokerfing heard this, he lightly brushed the scar on my neck with his fingers, and after a long while, he said calmly, "I will never need it again."

I laughed out of my nose, and realized at this moment that I had already finished that destination, and at the same time I also fulfilled a promise that must be fulfilled.

And the person I made an appointment with is now by my side.

After sitting in the middle of the night, I fell asleep directly by the campfire. Later, I was moved into the tent by the oil bottle, and I didn't go out until the sun rose the next day.Poker bottle sat at the mouth of the tent, saw me come out and handed me a bottle of water.

I wiped my face and heard him ask how I was resting.

I looked at the yellow sand flying all over the sky in the distance, then turned my head and said with a relaxed smile:

"I had a great dream."

Miscellaneous Supplements

1. A summary of some of my own writing ideas and understanding of characters

The foreshadowing of "One Pillow" is slightly detailed and requires some understanding of local folk customs, whether it is Kalavinka or Lite and so on.For example, the Buddha appeared twice, the first time was a reflection of escape, and the second time was a guide for the way forward.The gesture of the Buddha is specially described here, which is the seal of fearlessness.This handprint expresses the Buddha's great compassionate wish to save all living beings. It is said that it can make all living beings feel at ease and fearless, so it is called Shi Wuwei.The emergence of the Buddha can be said to be an illusion, and it can be said to be the reflection of Wu Xie's heart. The fearless seal alludes to the strength Wu Xie gained from Zhang Qiling's company during this journey, and his determination to move forward ten years later.

And the setting of Dream Village has two layers: exterior and interior.It shows that a group of people lose their five senses through some transformations in order to avoid physical or psychological diseases.They put on Bam masks and kept searching for a dream, trying to reach the world of Kalavinka (Bliss).

Inside is Wu Xie's heart.Mengcun was born out of escape, and also out of Wu Xie's original heart.During those ten years, would Wu Xie want to give up?My understanding is no, in order to save himself, his friends who were dragged into the water by him, and to reach Zhang Qiling's side, he will not give up.So when facing Zhang Qiling's transparent vest, he will consider whether the plan itself will change, and he will be more cautious.But at the same time, this is also the person he has wanted to see for so many years.What I dreamed of, I was even more afraid of waking up from the dream.

During the ten-year sand sea, he was determined enough not to give up, but many force majeure will bring pain, fear, and escape.Mengcun is the reflection of all this. The villagers gave up suffering. They think that Wu Xie is a kind of person, and they are asking him to stay.But Wu Xie won't stay.Although this place was born because of him, with Zhang Qiling's company, it has also become a place to rest and breathe a sigh of relief.Rest well and continue on the road.

Nada's design is deliberate.Before designing Nada, I specifically searched for the Tibetan language of "innocence", and asked a friend to ask Tibetan classmates.Nadasuming is a transliterated homophony of the Tibetan word "innocence". Here we refer to some techniques in "The King of Fishing". "Fishing King" uses Lei Benchang to express some of Wu Xie's thoughts, and Nada does the same.I try to rely on his character and behavior as much as possible, including the metaphor of lung disease.All of Nada's pain and all of Nada's evasions are Wu Xie's reference.Through Nada's mouth, Wu Xie expressed Wu Xie's inner struggles over the years.He is like a walking shadow, making Wu Xie seem to see himself in the past.But he is just a shadow, Wu Xie looks directly at him, will not escape, and will continue to walk.

As for whether Wu Xie remembered this experience in the end, there is a more obvious explanation in Fanwai [-], but for me this is more like an open ending. The timeline of "Annual Rings" followed by "A Pillow of Huaxu" probably happened in August of the second year after the two entered the bronze gate together.Perhaps because of Zhang Qiling's thoughts, the Bronze Gate made the two of them experience this dream at the same time as if it had happened in reality.In fact, whether this happened in real life or just a dream, I personally think it is not too important.In essence, this book is also my dream come true. During Wu Xie's most difficult period, Zhang Qiling accompanied him.

He got strength from it, and remembering it or not, it was enough.

——Ten years is extremely long, and the long night will finally break the dawn.They will definitely meet again.
