Chapter 3 The third water moon Guanyin

Long Fei couldn't help thinking of some scary legends about demons and ghosts. According to the legend, many of those demons and ghosts appeared in such places, but he did not back down. He didn't really believe in those legends, and he had never seen any ghosts. That weirdo might be the first one. But in any case, he was going to take the risk. The autumn wind is bleak. Rain is still like smoke. Although the courtyard is so quiet, the sound of rain is still not heard, but the presence of rain can be felt. The rain powder felt cold on his face, Long Fei ignored it.Separate and block the branches and leaves of flowers and trees in front, and pass through them carefully.

There were no lights, and the surroundings were dark. Separated a clump of branches and leaves, a rockery appeared in front of Long Fei's eyes. There is a dark mass lying on the rockery. Long Fei caught a glimpse and stopped immediately. The blob didn't move at all. Long Fei didn't move, he kept his eyes on the ball. In the darkness, there seemed to be a pair of eyes staring at him. There is no sound. Suddenly there was a sound. It was Long Fei who was moving his steps. Long Fei moved three steps aside and two steps forward. The thing was still lying motionless on the rockery.

Long Fei took another step forward, although he still couldn't see clearly, he could already tell that it was a gecko lying on the rockery. That gecko raised its head and stuck out its tongue, it was seven or eight feet long. How can a gecko be so huge. Long Fei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he didn't stop walking, and continued to approach the rockery, being careful and careful at every step. four steps, five steps, six steps With the sound of stabbing, the cluster of flowers and trees in front of the rockery suddenly snapped apart, and a mass of black and swarthy things flew out of it, hitting Long Fei's face.

Long Fei's heart jumped in response, and the long sword around his waist was almost unsheathed at the same time! The sword light flashed, passing through the mass. There was a crow cry immediately, followed by a flutter of wings flapping! It's a crow! In an instant, Long Fei's eyes turned back to the gecko. The gecko didn't take the opportunity to pounce and attack, and didn't even seem to move half a point, keeping the original position and lying on the rockery. Long Fei's heart skipped a beat, his long sword shook, and the crow jumped out of the sword point and fell into the grass.

The sound of flapping wings stopped instantly, and Long Fei's figure was pulled up at the same time, flying three feet into the air, flying like a bird into the forest, and falling obliquely towards the rockery. The sword is not in its sheath, and it is ready to go. As soon as that gecko launches an offensive, it will strike head-on! Although the gecko is not a vicious reptile, such a huge gecko must be extremely lethal. The gecko didn't respond at all. He landed beside the gecko like a dragon flying like a bird, and quickly stretched out his left hand, pressing it on the gecko's head.

The gecko remained unresponsive. This is a wood carving at all, and it is not a gecko at all, but a lizard! Black Lizard! The whole lizard is painted black. The carvings are exquisite and lifelike, and Long Fei is intimidated in the dark night. There are ways of martial arts, the old Jianghu sees other people's gestures and gestures, and often immediately knows which school of martial arts is being used. Just as a painter can be identified from a brushwork, a sculpture should also be identified from a knife technique. Although Long Fei didn't know much about carvings, he still felt that this lizard and that wooden beauty were all made by the same person.

What is the meaning of this wooden lizard placed on this rockery? Long Fei also felt strange, and caught a glimpse of the light from the corner of his eyes. The light was weak, and it was misty in the misty rain. It could still be seen that it came from a small building in front. Without thinking, Long Fei jumped off the rockery and walked towards the small building. His footsteps rose and fell, much faster than before.But the vigilance has increased instead. Walking two feet forward was a fence, Long Fei walked right next to the fence and walked three feet to the right, and found a moon cave gate.

After passing the moon gate, the small building appeared in front of you. The small building is in an independent courtyard, facing the Moon Cave Gate. In the courtyard, weeds are also overgrown. There is a bamboo forest inside, and many flowering trees are planted in the west. In addition to the flowering trees, there are several sycamores near the entrance. The sycamore locks in the deep courtyard are clear in autumn. For some reason, Long Fei felt the chill of early winter. At this moment, three meows suddenly came from the small building. Meow! The meowing of the cat was extremely sharp, like a ghost crying, and this place sounded especially scary at this time.

Long Fei was terrified. The meowing continued, and there was a sudden rustling sound from the bamboo forest in Loudong, as if someone was walking. Long Fei's figure shrank naturally, and he flashed behind a sycamore tree. A white figure came out from the bamboo forest immediately and walked towards the small building. The light in the small building shines through the pasted paper, faint and melancholy. Bathed in this kind of light, that person also looked hazy. But almost at the same time, the door of the small building opened inside, and the light shot out from the building, illuminating the person's body.

At a glance, Long Fei was dumbfounded! Because that man was actually dressed as Guanyin! Water Moon Avalokitesvara! Avalokitesvara is a bodhisattva, whose real name is Avalokitesvara. In the Tang Dynasty, he avoided the taboo of Emperor Taizong, and he was called Avalokitesvara for short, and he was also known as Avalokitesvara. According to the records in the Lotus Sutra: All living beings who are in distress, call the name wholeheartedly, and the Bodhisattva will immediately observe its voice, and all will be liberated, so it is named Avalokitesvara. There is also such a record in the Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra: Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, when practicing the deep Prajna Paramita for a long time, sees that all five aggregates are empty.

According to the general door of the Lotus Sutra, Avalokitesvara has shown thirty-three kinds of incarnations, and the secular book has published thirty-three Avalokitesvara images such as willows, dragon heads, scriptures, round light, white clothes, fish baskets, glass, and one leaf. Shuiyue Guanyin is one of them. The rain is still so misty, and under the light, it looks like fog and smoke. The door opened suddenly, the light was bright, and the Water Moon Avalokitesvara seemed to appear suddenly in the grass. It's more like flying clouds and fog, flying from outside the sky, so the clouds and mists have not dissipated. Holding a lotus flower in her hands, she lowered her head to look at the water and the moon, and walked towards the door there. The lotus flower seemed to be carved out of white jade, with one flower and two leaves, both jade and pure white, shining faintly under the light. Her face, her hands, the headscarf and even her clothes seemed to emit a bleak light, and her whole body seemed to be carved out of white jade. White jade was originally a symbol of purity, and Guanyin, who is merciful and compassionate, was originally a kind bodhisattva. But that Shuiyue Guanyin gives people an evil feeling. Long Fei even felt that it wasn't a bodhisattva or a person floating there, but a cloud of monster energy. The white clothes fluttered, and the Shuiyue Guanyin quietly floated into the small building. The door of the small building was closed immediately. Long Feilian turned out from behind the tree, and under the cover of the flowering tree, flew towards the small building like a swallow. He was originally a very curious person. Besides, he had never encountered such a strange encounter. There is a window to the right of the door. Long Fei landed in front of the window like a swallow, and the civet cat leaned under the window like a low body, listened quietly for a while, then stood up, dipped some saliva with his fingers, and poked a small hole on the window paper. A ray of light shot out from the window and hit Long Fei's face. Long Fei faced the light with his right eye, leaned close to the window hole, and peeked inside. He has never done this kind of thing before, but now he is like a thief ancestor, all movements are so proficient and natural. Even he himself felt strange. At that moment, he seemed to be possessed by a demon, and all his movements were completely involuntary. There is a bead curtain at the entrance of the small building. There is a delicate little hall behind the bead curtain. In front of the wall opposite the door, there is a screen with a very strange colored picture painted on it. A monster with a human upper body and a lizard lower body writhed in the flames in a strange posture, holding a naked middle-aged beautiful woman tightly with both hands. The middle-aged beautiful woman was flying like black snakes. Her naked body was entangled with the monster's body like a snake. The expression on her face was both painful and happy. Her head was split open, and the blood and brain marrow surged wildly, but it didn't flow downwards, but flew upwards, hitting the monster's lips like an arrow. Blood red marrow white, shocking! That monster's face turned out to be exactly the same as that strange man Long Fei met today. The painting is exquisite, the expressions are vivid, and the colors are intense and realistic, which has reached the limit, especially the blood and brains, which are so vivid and intense that it makes people feel chilling at first sight. Although Long Fei knew it was just a painting, he still couldn't help but feel chilled after looking at it a few more times. This painting is not only strange, but also strange. The Water Moon Avalokitesvara sits cross-legged three feet in front of the painting, with her head still down. In front of her is a low table with a five-string guqin on it. The woodcarved beauty who resembled Zizhu was impressively placed on the left side of the piano table, leaning against the wall, facing the Shuiyue Guanyin. The strange man was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he was originally the spirit of the thing in the painting on the screen, once he entered this small building, he disappeared into the painting and continued to suck the blood and brains of that beautiful woman. Long Fei was thinking about what action to take when Shuiyue Guanyin suddenly put down the lotus plant, pressed down on the Guqin with both hands, and played it slowly. The sound of the zither, Cheng Cong, is very pleasant, but after listening carefully, it is not difficult to find that it is a little different from the general qin sound. Feidu is a little different, and a little weird, and what he plays is not an ordinary tune. Long Fei had never heard this tune before. Isn't this the tune of the world? Long Fei listened intently, his heart gradually became confused, and unconsciously, he fell into a state of ecstasy. At the end of the song, Shuiyue Guanyin quietly stopped her hands and raised her head slowly. Her appearance is exactly the same as the middle-aged beautiful woman painted on the screen. The only difference is the pupils of the eyes. Although her eyes were also lifeless, they were like glass, and there were two crystal clear and bewitching cold lights shining under the light. He was looking at Long Fei. Is it because she is facing this way or has already discovered the existence of Long Fei? When Long Fei's eyes met those two points of cold light, it was as if two arrows made of ice and snow had been shot into his pupils, and his whole body was shocked as if he had just woken up from a dream! He was about to see Shuiyue Guanyin's face clearly when his clothes rustled, and a person suddenly appeared in front of the window opening, cutting off his sight. That person appeared really suddenly, like a ghost, even though Long Fei's eyes never left the window, he didn't know how he appeared. He turned his back to the window, and the place he stood was no more than four feet away from the window, Long Fei could only see his body behind the shoulders. He was dressed in indigo embroidery, and from his figure and clothes, he should be a man. As soon as he appeared, he said: Xianjun, do you miss me to death? It was a man's voice, deep and hoarse, trembling violently for some unknown reason. Before the words fell, his body moved forward. At this moment, the lights suddenly went out! When Long Fei's eyes suddenly went dark, he heard a muffled groan! A sharp female voice sounded immediately! Long Fei's heart trembled. A strange sound like a wolf howling immediately erupted in the darkness! It didn't sound like the man in blue at all. Where is the third person in the small building? Could it be that the monster painted on the screen appeared again? Long Fei couldn't bear it any longer, and shouted: What are you doing?Slap on the window! With a bang, the window shattered. Just as Long Fei was about to jump in through the window, a puff of white smoke gushed out from the building through the window, rushing towards him! With a soft scold, Long Fei turned upside down and rolled down in mid-air, already in the grass three feet away! He has a keen reaction and a strong figure. Even though the white smoke is poisonous, it is not enough to fascinate him in this instant. There is no poison in the white smoke, and there is no conspiracy, but it spreads very quickly. As soon as Long Fei fell down, the place where he stood just now was completely surrounded by white smoke. The white smoke continued to spread, pouring out of the yard, tumbling, and quickly rising into the sky. In the dark night, the white smoke was even more eye-catching. Therefore, according to old legend, no matter whether a monster or a god appears and leaves, most of them will turn into a puff of white smoke. Is that white smoke the Shuiyue Guanyin or the incarnation of the monster on the screen? Long Fei stared at the white smoke, and suddenly felt an impulse in his heart. An urge to stab the white smoke with a flying sword! But after all, he didn't fly and stab out with a sword, and his eyes didn't blink for a moment, and he stared steadily at that side. No matter who wanted to walk out of that small building under the cover of that white smoke, it would definitely be difficult to escape his eyes. The white smoke finally dissipated. No one came out of the small building. What happened during this time? Long Fei was about to walk over when he suddenly heard footsteps coming from behind him. who? Long Fei hurriedly turned his head, his eyes were everywhere, a black shadow rushed in from the moon cave door! In the dark, he couldn't see that person's face clearly, and that person couldn't see him clearly, but he saw the shining edge of the sword he held in his hand. The man immediately shouted, saying: "Who is it!What are you doing here with a sword? Could this be the owner of the manor? Long Fei naturally explained: Don't get me wrong, I just That person's mind was also quite flexible, he immediately stopped Long Fei's words and said: Aren't you from this manor? I'm not.Long Fei did not deny it. The man shouted sharply: "Then what are you doing here?" Long Fei blurted out: You are not from this manor. The man shouted, "Answer my question!" Long Fei sneered, and said: Judging from your tone, you sound like a member of the government! Hearing that Long Fei didn't answer his question, the man roared: At this time, stealing into other people's manor with a weapon is either rape or robbery! Long Fei just sneered. The man roared with one finger and continued: "If you don't put down your weapon, you will be captured without a fight!" Long Fei suddenly said: I seem to have heard your voice somewhere? The man let out an oh, and said, "Dare to commit crimes, fight!" With a sound of beating, choking, an iron chain was thrown in his hand, and he strode forward, and the iron chain swept across his waist! With a shake of Long Feijian, the iron chain was swept away. The man roared angrily: "What a bold thief, you resisted arrest!"The iron chain flew up and down, hitting the top with snowflakes, and hitting the roots of old trees down. Long Fei dodged to dodge! The man shouted: "Look at this trick again, the immortal guides the way!"The iron chain shot straight at Long Fei's waist and abdomen! Long Fei stepped back. The man chased three steps in a row, the iron chain clanged and flew three times, and it was still the immortal who guided the way! Long Fei stepped away one by one, and said with a quick smile: "I haven't seen you for three years, I never thought that your iron chain has been practiced so well!" The man's iron chain failed several times, and he was shocked by Long Fei's martial arts. Hearing what Long Fei said, he couldn't help restraining himself, and said lightly: "Which one are you?" Long Fei!In response, Long Fei took out a fire bag from his bosom, and inspected it brightly. Although the flame was weak, it was enough at this distance. The firelight illuminated him and the man's face. His eyebrows are like a paintbrush, his face is like a black dress, his beard is like a halberd, and his eyes are like a tiger. That person is exactly like Zhong Kui who catches ghosts in Wu Daozi's works, but he is actually wearing a yamen headhunting costume. He saw Long Fei clearly, put away the iron chain, and said in surprise: "Why is it really you?" Long Fei put his sword into its sheath, and said: "It can't be faked." The man paused and said: You know it's me, why didn't you stop me? Long Fei laughed and said: If you hadn't covered the roof with snowflakes, and entangled the roots of old trees, and then used an immortal to guide the way in the middle, I still can't believe it was you, the iron tiger, who came here! Tiehu wrapped his iron chain around his waist, giggling loudly and said: With my three moves, I don't know how many thieves I have knocked down, but before you, a great swordsman, it can't work at all. Long Fei said: Fortunately, otherwise, even if my head doesn't bloom, I'm afraid my two legs will be determined. Tiehu laughed endlessly. It was three years ago that he knew Long Fei. At that time, Long Fei had helped him twice and arrested thirteen thieves who committed all kinds of crimes. In Long Fei, it was just passing by by chance. He was a knight-errant who would draw his sword to help when the road was rough. Tie Hu made Long Fei his friend, and Long Fei was also happy to have Tie Hu as his friend. Because Tiehu is also a tough man. Although he looks ugly and has a bad temper, he is not afraid of power. No matter who commits a crime, he treats it equally and handles it fairly. For hundreds of miles around, there is no second person who is as dedicated and honest as he is to catch the head. Don't make such friends, but make that kind of friends? They rarely meet. Long Fei is a knight-errant in the rivers and lakes, his whereabouts are erratic, and Tie Hu hunts down thieves, and he also travels here and there all the year round. Tonight is the first time they have met in three years. As soon as the laughter fell, Tie Hu was about to ask Long Fei what, but Long Fei had rushed in front of him and asked: How did you come to Phoenix Town? Tie Hudao: This is also the place under my jurisdiction. Unless there is a case in other places, I will stay here for these three days every month. Long Fei showed admiration in his eyes, and said: There are not many headhunters in charge like you. Tiehu laughed and said: "Eating the king's salary, taking care of the king's worries, the real job is, how can we be negligent." Long Fei said: Three years are like one day. Tiehu said: Seven years are like a day. It has been seven years since he entered the palace. Long Fei said: In the past three years, have you still had that temper? Tie Hu replied: There is an old saying, you must have heard Long Fei interrupted and said: Jiangshan is easy to change, but character is hard to change? Tiehu gave a haha, and said: Exactly! Long Fei shook his head and said: With your hard work and dedication, you could have become a very successful headhunter, but it's a pity that you have become a little irritable. Tie Hu said: Otherwise, how could we have fought that fight just now? Long Fei said: "Did you see those white smoke, feel very strange, so come in to see what's going on?" good.Tie Hu stared at Long Fei.Just now I passed by the back door of this manor house and saw the back door was wide open. I wondered why this family was so negligent, so I saw white smoke billowing here. Long Fei said: This manor is obviously uninhabited, it has been vacant for quite some time. Tie Hu said: It seems that it is indeed the case. This was originally the manor of that? Not sure. You don't seem to understand anything. There are thousands of households in this Fenghuang Town alone. Unless there is a crime in that household, I will not go to investigate at all. It is really impossible to find out one by one. Makes sense. What the hell is going on with that white smoke? Long Fei smiled wryly and said: I also don't know, so Tie Hu turned positive, and said: Why did you come here again? Long Fei pondered and said: I believe I can't save this kind of lip service. Tie Hu said: Well, you should know my style. Long Fei nodded and said, "Before I say this, I have a question, I would like to ask you first." Tiehu said: What's the problem? Long Fei said slowly: Do you think there are so-called gods and ghosts? Tie Hu was stunned, and said: Although many people speak with certainty about the existence of immortals, gods and ghosts, I personally absolutely do not believe it. He paused and continued: This is probably because I have never seen the so-called gods and ghosts. Long Fei said: I am also like this, because I have never seen the same before today. Tie Hu asked with a smile: Could it be that I saw you just today? Long Fei said: Exactly! Tie Hu became curious and said: What did you see? Long Feidao: I almost collided with a carriage on the road this afternoon. The carriage was carrying a coffin. The lid of the coffin was shaken off, revealing the inside Tie Hu cut in and said: A dead body? Long Fei shook his head and said: A wooden statue of a naked beauty. Tiehu said: Can you see clearly that it is really wooden? Long Fei said: It's very clear. A wooden beauty is carried in a coffin.Tiehu stroked his beard.This is undoubtedly very strange, but what does it have to do with gods and ghosts. Long Fei said: But that beauty would groan in pain, and even begged not to do that when she was driving the handlebar to cover the coffin lid back, let her breathe, and even yelled for help! Tiehu was surprised and said: Is there such a thing? Long Fei said: At that time, I suspected that the coffin had two layers, and the person calling was not the wooden beauty, but a woman who was hidden in the second layer of secret compartments. Tie Hu said approvingly: "It's wonderful to have doubts." Long Fei said: It is very possible that that woman is hidden in that wooden beauty. Tie Hu said: This means that the wooden beauty is a hollow wooden statue? Long Fei said: Of course this is just suspicion. Tiehu replied: Of course you will pursue it. Long Fei nodded and said: Because of this, he can clearly see the face of the handlebar under the cover of the bamboo hat. Tiehu said: What kind of person is he? Long Fei said: No eyebrows, short nose and pointed eyes, lips cleft to below the ears, and dark green snake scales all over his face.The hands are also like that, covered with snake scales. Tie Hu frowned and said: How can people behave like this. Long Fei said: "This monster's skill does not seem to be inferior to mine. Tie Hu couldn't help being startled, he knew what Long Fei's skills were. Long Fei continued: Even if I, Jin Huan, still can't stop him from driving away. Tie Hu said: You must be chasing after him. Long Fei said: In the end, he chased him to the back of this manor house. Tie Hu said: Could it be that weird person walked in here? Long Fei said: I saw him push the door in from afar, but when I pushed the door in, he was already at a loss, and then, he saw lights in the small building in front of him. Tie Hu turned his eyes and said, "Lighting? Long Fei said: I was about to go there, when a Guanyin appeared in the bamboo forest over there. Tiehu was stunned, and said: What! Long Fei repeated word for word: Guanyin! immortal? I am talking about Guanyin Bodhisattva.Long Fei sighed and said: That Guanyin is exactly the costume of Shuiyue Guanyin Tiehu said: Is it here to guide you? Long Fei sighed and said, "Just pointing out the maze, but with the appearance of that Shuiyue Guanyin, things are more complicated and weirder." Tiehu said: What happened again? Long Fei said: "Water Moon Goddess of Mercy walked all the way into that small building. I went over and broke the window paper and saw that she was playing the piano in the small building, but she was playing a tune I had never heard before." Tie Hu asked: Then what? Long Fei said: After the song ended, a person suddenly appeared in front of her. who is it? I don't know, judging from his body shape, it should be a man. He is turning his back on you. It's strange that I don't even know how he appeared. Is it another fairy, god and ghost? Afterwards, the lights suddenly went out, and there were muffled groans, screams and strange laughter one after another. I couldn't help but shake open the window with my palm, and a puff of white smoke gushed out of it. So you retreat here. It is not impossible that there is some kind of poison hidden in the white smoke. The white smoke dissipated when I entered. good.Long Fei's eyes flashed.I was just about to walk over to see what happened, when you big catcher rushed in. Tie Hu didn't speak any more, and looked Long Fei up and down several times. Long Fei waited for Tie Hu to stop looking at him, then said: I know what you are thinking. Tiehu said: Oh? Long Fei said: Aren't you wondering if something is wrong with my head? Tie Hu was stunned, giggled and said: You are not the roundworm in my stomach, how do you know what is on my mind? Long Fei smiled bitterly and said: No matter who heard what I said just now, I believe it is inevitable that they would think so. Tie Hu asked repeatedly: Is there something wrong with your head? Long Fei said: There are no problems. Tiehu said: "Isn't it vertigo?" Long Feidao: It may be dizziness once, but several times in succession He paused and continued: Didn't you also see the white smoke? Tiehu fell silent. At this time, Huozhezi's light had gradually weakened, and finally went out, and the surroundings fell into darkness again.
