Monument of Life and Death

  Chapter 650 Longevity

  The bread in the fool's mouth was sprayed out.

   "Why do you think so?" The fool laughed, "Fu Shen, you are dead!"

  Ah, that’s how I felt when I heard this.

  Shen Fu muttered depressedly, "Don’t you let anyone fantasize it?"

  The two finished eating the bread in their hands, and the fool looked around with his waist on his hips.

  Today's weather has changed from the dullness of the past, it is clear and refreshing, and the white clouds are scattered on the clear blue sky, making the mountain look like it has changed.

   "Where are we going next?" Shen Fu asked, looking at the fool.

  The fool was looking for something in his backpack. Hearing what he said, he stopped.

   "Where are we going?" the fool said, "I won't go anywhere else today, we will camp here."

  Baomu nodded quickly, and also found his backpack. It seemed that the two thoughts coincided again.

   "Do you want to camp now? There will be some time before dark." Shen Fu asked.

"Encamp? Oh, no, we are not preparing to encamp..." The fool smiled shyly, raised his arm, and grabbed a fluffy pink ball from his bag. "Uh...we want to feed our pet. Eat, inside, let’s introduce, this is a rabbit, and that is a child of light..."

   Baomu took the Son of Light out of his backpack, looked at the shocked Shen Fu, and said, "Don't worry, they are all very well-behaved... Do you want to touch it?"

  ***

  The door is completely dark.

  Dao Chang made a gesture, Luo Jiutian turned and closed the back door, and the creaking sound of closing the door echoed in the silence.

  The two walked into the house.

  There is no sound in the room, even the breathing sound is not audible.

Moonlight shines on the interior furnishings. This house was also affected by the fire, but the impact was negligible compared to other houses. The conditions of this family should be better. Many of the bookcase furniture is made of rock, except for the furniture. Except for the darkening, it does not seem to be damaged.

  There are several closed doors on both sides of the corridor. Seeing that there is no one in the living room, the two believe that the owner of this house should be "sleeping" in the bedroom at this time.

  Tao Chang on his toes, walked directly to the rock bookcase placed in the center of the living room.

  The three sides of the bookcase are gray rock, only the front has a glass door, which can be used as a bookcase and a hallway.

  The leader gently opened the glass door and checked the book collection in the cabinet.

  The magic is that the books here are basically intact.

  Several books on the side of the window were blackened to the spine, but all the books survived the fire.

Dao Master drew out two books and looked at them. Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Luo Jiutian standing in the corner of the living room, so he looked up at him.

  Luo Jiutian stood at a table set against the wall, crouching, looking at something on that table.

   "Nine days?"

   "Daoist," Luo Jiutian just waved at him, "Come over and take a look at this thing."

  Daochang walked over with the book in his hand.

   "What is it?"

   "It's the idol enshrined by this family," Luo Jiutian leaned over, revealing the items on the table, "but I think this idol is a bit strange. Have you seen it?"

  The road leader approached.

  Sure enough, there is a palm-sized stone sculpture on the blue-white jade table. At first glance, it looks like a god, Buddha, and Bodhisattva standing in a lotus.

"this is not……"

  "Not a Bodhisattva," Luo Jiutian interrupted after guessing what Dao Master wanted to say, "Master Dao, look carefully. This person is wearing a mask. No Bodhisattva wears a mask."

Dao Chang squinted his eyes and looked carefully. As expected, there was a mask on the face of the statue. A few groups of lines were simply outlined on the mask, which suddenly became solemn.

  The statue of the **** is slender and thin, with a slightly curved back and not long hair. This person is wearing a full-length robe, with one hand behind and standing in front of him with a fist, standing quietly in the middle of a blooming lotus flower.

   "This is the image of an ordinary person," the Taoist said, "Is it the **** worshipped by Lianshui Village?"

  Luo Jiutian pointed to the statue, "Could this be the fire lotus?"

   "I don't know..." Dao Chang shook his head, "There may be books in this area in the bookcase. Come here, let's look for them."

  The two took out the book series in the bookcase and looked through it.

  One by one...One page after another...

  Luo Jiutian shook his head and put the book in his hand back to its original position. He frowned and scanned around, focusing on the three books on the top of the bookcase.

  He stood on tiptoe and took out one of the books.

  The edge and spine of this book have turned black, and the content cannot be seen. When you turn it over, the title page is mostly blackened with smoke, leaving only the half of the lower part of the page to be faintly discernible.

   seems to be the word "knowledge".

  What do you know?

  Open it again.

The pages inside    are free of smoke and dust, and the words are clear.

  Luo Jiutian read with the moonlight patiently, his brows gradually condensed and gradually dispersed.

  After reading the first page, he shouted out almost excitedly, "Master! I found it!"

  The book in Dao Master's hand was almost frightened.

  "Found it?" The Taoist chief closed the book in his hand, and leaned forward, "Is it Fire Lotus?"

   "No...this should be about the statue," Luo Jiutian said, comparing the thickness of the book in his hand, "the two above should be the same, you should look at the two, the master."

Daochang nodded, raised his hand and took out the remaining two books.

  The title page of the second book is still black, and the content of the title page of the third book is much clearer.

  "The Prophet of Longevity," the Taoist chanted out the four words on the title page, "Is this the name of the statue?"

   "Yes, the book says that this is the prophet they enshrine," Luo Jiutian replied while scanning quickly, "It's an adult man, he should be talking about the statue."

  The Taoist turned to the first page and read it.

"I've finished reading this book," Luo Jiutian reached out to grab the third book. "The first book is an overview, that is, there is a person who can live forever in the village, and the villagers hope to get the power of longevity from him. , And also described the appearance of the immortal, which is the appearance of the statue."

"The second book is about the life of the immortal," Tao Chang said while watching. "When the immortal was born, the astronomical phenomenon was abnormal, and the immortal was talented since he was a child, and he was elected as an adult. The village chief, the village is in order under his management, and then he..."

  The words of Dao Master suddenly stopped.

  Luo Jiutian raised his eyes from the page, and saw that Daochang’s face was a little pale.

   "Master, what's the matter?"

   "Ah, he...the longevity..."

   "No, I asked you what's wrong?"

  Luo Jiutian stared at him with bright eyes.

   "I'm a little surprised," the Taoist commander dodges his eyes and continued, "After that, the immortal gained the power of the prophet in an accident and became the eternal prophet of the fire lotus village... Fire lotus village?"
