Chapter 150 Incense to Worship Buddha and Lots of Destiny
Luo Xi walked over and took an incense and a lotus from the old monk.
After touching these two things, Luo Xi was slightly startled. He could see that vague words appeared on the two things, which were 'incense to worship Buddha' and 'sign of fate'. '.
What are these two things used for?
Although Luo Xi has determined that Youzuo Temple is a level scene, he does not know a lot of information about it, such as the level and attributes of the scene, which is very critical and related to the response strategy.
There are also scene rules, including how to ‘play’, what is allowed and what is not allowed.
I don’t know any of this.
And judging from the old monk's appearance, he had no intention of explaining at all.
This was the first time Luo Xi encountered this scene.
The middle-aged man should know, but the other party would not tell him for no reason.
"Old man, this is my first time here. What does this stick of incense and the stick of incense mean? What should I do next?"
If you don't understand, just ask.
The old monk pointed to the incense burner over there: "Bow down to the Buddha. In this way, the Buddha will be able to interpret the fortune for you. If you get the interpretation of the fortune, you will be blessed with blessings and misfortune. Buddhism teaches that there are seven emotions, seven sufferings and seven stains. Seven Dharma, if you get the seven fortune-telling solutions, you can come and find me again.”
Ask me again, again.
The old monk gave people a very strange feeling. The other party was like an NPC in the real world that was programmed with a certain fixed program. He could only answer fixed questions mechanically, and the content of the answer was Also fixed.
No further questions will yield any results.
"Old man, what are the attributes and levels of this scene? What are the rules?"
Luo Xi simply began to ask tentatively.
Now that you know that the old monk is an NPC, use the same methods to deal with NPCs, ask various questions, and see how the old monk's answer mechanism will answer.
"Youzuo Temple is the first earth element, the rules have been told to you."
This can be regarded as answering some of Luo Xi's questions.
Because Luo Xi kept asking here, it naturally took some time. The middle-aged man behind him became impatient and started urging.
At this time, a few more people came outside. It seemed that they were all Collectors, and they were senior people with firm expressions and good strength.
"Holy shit, this guy can get ahead of us every time." The few people who came in couldn't help but cursed when they saw the middle-aged man.
"Old Jin, you are really good at scheming. You have taken advantage of this stick of incense and the first stick of fortune many times. It is unethical to do it all the time." A bearded man with a beard said in a bad tone.
When the middle-aged man saw these people, he laughed dryly: "It's not me this time, someone beat me to it."
Of course those people immediately looked at Luo Xi.
Over there, the old monk still responded with the same words he repeated over and over: "You can ask for lots at the incense burners everywhere in the temple, but except for this incense stick, the first lotus is free, and the others are free. You have to spend money, just put the money into the merit box, such as Here, you can get the incense of worshiping the Buddha and the fortune-telling lot. If you go to seek the interpretation of the fortune-telling again, you will get seven fortune-telling interpretations with you, so you can come and find me."
Luo Xi inquired in many ways and from many angles. But no matter how I asked, the old monk kept repeating these words over and over again.
Obviously there is little point in continuing to ask.
Fortunately, we can get a glimpse of the rules of this scene from these few words of the old monk.
What concerns Luo Xi most is the attributes and levels of this scene.
Di Yuan Yi.
Luo Xi knows that the most common attributes of the level scenes in the Day of Confinement are 'Chaos' and 'Yin and Yang'. The former is chaotic and disorderly, which is very dangerous, and the latter is based on the premise of chaos and disorder, increasing It contains unnatural elements of 'weirdness' and 'horror'.
To put it more bluntly, there are ‘ghosts’.
Luo Xi has experienced many similar situations and is very familiar with them.
So what will happen in the scene with the attribute of ‘Di Yuan’?
Luo Xi stepped back from the old monk.
The latter immediately shouted: "Next one."
The middle-aged man Lao Jin immediately filled in.
The few Collectors who came later naturally lined up at the back of the order. Many of them looked at Luo Xi, but didn't say anything. After all, they didn't know each other in the first place, and they were more familiar with this place, so there was no need to look for him. Luo Xi asked for information.
On the other hand, Luo Xi estimated that if he ran over to ask, these memory collectors would not tell the truth.
There is no free lunch in the world.
And the old monk has made the basic rules clear. Use the incense to worship the Buddha, and then ask for the fortune sign. Then continue to search, get new incense and lotus through the merit box, and then You can get the interpretation by praying to Buddha. If you get seven, you can come to the old monk.
The rules are simple and there is nothing to ask.
Then just follow this rule first and see what happens.
As for this stick of incense and stick of stick, the only advantage at present is that it is 'free'.
But whether this is the only benefit remains to be determined.
At this time, Luo Xi walked to the incense burner in front, lit the incense in his hand, held the incense in both hands, and waved it in the direction of the Main Hall in front. There was a futon in front, and words engraved on the floor next to it: Kneel down and ask for a sign!
So he worshiped Buddha.
The bamboo stick Luo Xi got before had nothing on it, but after praying to the Buddha, words slowly appeared on the bamboo stick.
“When I sign a lot, I will find a treasure in my dream and wake up with nothing. I say that Nanshan is just a hoe.”
The next moment, the words on the bamboo stick are brilliant and exude some kind of invisible magic. Power, Luo Xi felt like this thing was like a weird and strange mark hitting him.
"Does this mean I got a solution? It's not difficult." Luo Xi thought in his mind.
But this is just the beginning, and we have to wait and see what happens next.
According to what the old monk said, there are many merit boxes and incense burners in Youzuo Temple, so you need to find them.
Luo Xi did not waste time. The advantage of the Touzhu Xiangtou lottery is not only that it is free, but also that he can go to other places to get the lottery as soon as possible.
Without any delay, Luo Xi immediately walked around from the side to the back and walked through a corridor. He saw a merit box and an incense burner in front of him, corresponding to a Buddha statue.
Go up and look carefully. It says on the merit box that if you invest more or less, you will be blessed.
In other words, it all depends on you as to how much you stuff in.
This is the most deceiving.
If you stuff a lot of things into it and get a good sign, then this thing will become a bottomless pit.
Of course it is said to be a merit box, but in fact it is not enough to stuff it with money, it has to be stuffed with ‘cards’.
Luo Xi also asked the old monk about this.
What’s interesting is that card cards are not limited to types. The most basic [Memory] can be carded, as can high-level functional cards.
But at this stage, what Luo Xi has the most is [memory].
So I inserted one.
Under the merit box, an incense stick and a lottery ticket immediately fell out.
Take it and take a closer look.
The incense is the same as before, and the sign is also bare and wordless. It can only be revealed by worshiping Buddha and asking for answers.
Then seize the time and worship Buddha. Luo Xi raised his head and glanced at the Buddha statue.
It is different from what I saw at the Main Hall.
This is normal. Generally, temples enshrine different Buddha statues. Many believers or non-believers worship the Buddha when they see it. However, they don’t care what Buddha they actually worship, as if they just want to worship. , you can get shelter and get what you want.
The Buddha Luo Xi saw in front of him should be the 'Medicine Buddha', the Lord of the Eastern World. He is depicted holding a medicine pot, representing the healing of all living beings
"In the Mahavira Hall is Sakyamuni Buddha, then does worshiping different Buddhas have an impact on the interpretation of your fortune?”
Luo Xi thought.
He feels that this possibility is very high, but it is obvious that this is a hidden rule and needs to be explored by the memory collector himself.
“The interpretation of the fortune I got last time was to draw a fortune. I woke up with nothing in my dream and thought that Nanshan was just a hoe. Drawing a fortune is a sign of bad luck, which means that all efforts are made with a bamboo basket. Water, mirror, flower and moon, all the work is in vain.”
“The signature here is unlikely to be just a worthless text, it may actually have a corresponding impact.”
Luo Xi guessed in his mind.
If this is really the case, then this signature is actually some kind of terrifying debuff.
“Bad luck is just one kind, there may be more serious ones. In this way, seven kinds of blessings must be blessed in the body. If you are unlucky and get a blessing similar to death, won’t you die immediately? Fall?”
Luo Xi began to understand the danger of this scene.
He looked at the bamboo stick he had obtained before, and then tried to throw it away.
But he soon discovered that no matter how he threw it, the thing would eventually appear strangely in his hand.
"If you can't throw it away, it shouldn't be damaged."
Luo Xi said this, but he moved faster. He broke off the stick and threw it into the incense burner.
The result was almost the next second. Looking at my hand again, I still held the lottery ticket.
“Sure enough!”
The obtained signature cannot be thrown away or destroyed.
In addition, Luo Xi also discovered that after he received the incense to worship the Buddha and the fortune sign, he could not leave the five meters around the corresponding incense burner and merit box. If he walked forcefully, he would hit the wall of air.
"In other words, you cannot accumulate lots and ask for the solution in the end. This rule is reasonable, but it blocks all possibilities of opportunism."
Luo Xi made a calculation in his mind. Quite a few.
As a result, he found that the middle-aged man Lao Jin had already rushed over in a hurry. Seeing that Luo Xi was still there, he sneered and quickly stepped forward and stuffed the two cards into the merit box.
If you put two cards in, you will get one incense and one lottery.
Then without any hesitation, he burned incense and worshiped Buddha to seek the fortune teller. Then he glanced at Luo Xi and left immediately.
This is the speed of a journeyman. Luo Xi is still exploring the scene, while the other party has already started to speed pass.
“It seems that in front of every incense burner and Buddha, the action of worshiping Buddha and asking for a fortune must be completed.”
Luo Xi could only burn incense and worship Buddha, and this time he got a fortune. The text is: Winning lottery, red wheel falls in the west, rabbit rises in the east, yin is long and yang is short, everything is prosperous
The meaning of this sentence can be simply classified as: Yin is beneficial to women and not suitable for men.
In other words, if this lottery is obtained by a woman, it is a good thing and everything will go smoothly, but if it is a man, it is different.
After clearing the sign, Luo Xi can leave here.
So he continued to move forward, and when he passed the front, there were two forks on the left and right, going in the same direction but in different places.
Because it was his first time here, Luo Xi had no experience to draw from, so he could only choose randomly.
"Men are on the left and women are on the right. Since I am in favor of women, should I go to the right?"
Luo Xi took two steps to the right, but his foot slipped and fell directly to the ground.
That was such a shock that Luo Xi was stunned.
He looked carefully and saw that he had stepped on moss on the ground. The moss was slippery, which made him fall.
But the situation is obviously not that simple.
"I was walking very carefully, but I still slipped. Could this be related to the signature I was holding?" Luo Xi thought this possibility was extremely high.
Be careful when walking next.
He now has two interpretations, one is low and the other is average, and the average number is still 'yin is long and yang is short', which means that he is still riddled with bad luck and everything is unfavorable.
Walking through this section of road full of gloomy plants, there is a small courtyard in front, and there is also a Buddhist hall with a merit box, an incense burner and a Buddha statue for worship.
Look carefully, it is Guanyin Bodhisattva.
"The plants here are lush, moss is everywhere, and there is a small bamboo forest, which is quite appropriate."
In a short period of time, we have already encountered the third merit box and incense burner. At this rate, we have to get all seven signatures. , doesn’t seem to be difficult.
Luo Xi stepped forward and inserted a piece of [Memory], got the incense stick, and then prayed to Buddha to ask for the answer.
But this time, the content of the signature is: Zhongping, the clouds cover the road in front of the mountain, and the demons and monsters are hidden in it.
Just by looking at this content, you know that it is not a good thing.
Sure enough, Luo Xi looked up again and found that the road ahead was really uphill, but the fog from nowhere completely obscured the road ahead.
"So, should we go or not? Or go back?"
Luo Xi thought about it in his mind, looked back, and laughed helplessly.
Because the road he came from was also shrouded in fog.
This is done.
Unless you just stay here and never leave, you will have to enter the area shrouded in clouds and mist, and according to the interpretation, there are monsters and monsters inside.
Of course, it may not be possible to meet it.
Maybe you'll be lucky enough to get through safely.
But the problem is, judging from the autographs Luo Xi has obtained so far, his luck can be said to be very bad, so the possibility of encountering monsters is almost 100%.
To go or not to go?
For Luo Xi, this is not a multiple-choice question, because he never stops because of threats.
At this moment, Luo Xi frowned.
The splitting headache came back.
Actually, he felt something was wrong just now. Apparently, the painkillers he had taken before started to wear off.
A headache is not a good thing in this situation.
He was already riddled with bad luck. If his ability to think about problems weakened again, he might actually die here accidentally.
Took out a few more painkillers and stuffed them into his mouth.
Bite it into pieces and swallow it.
While waiting for the medicine to take effect, my head was buzzing, I had double images of everything I looked at, and the screen tearing was very severe. For example, I turned my head to look in another direction, but the picture I saw in between was still there. , there is an overlap between the two, which looks very weird.
In addition to the trance of vision, hearing also changed in pain.
Luo Xi actually heard some strange sounds.
Someone is chanting sutras.
Some people are whispering, some are laughing wildly, and some are crying
“Hey, I’m calling you!”
In that kind of trance that makes people collapse, Luo Xi heard a voice that stood out from the many noises. The noise and the out-of-body feeling quickly dissipated amidst the other party's continuous shouts.
Luo Xi looked up and saw a woman looking down at him, her brows furrowed and a hint of disdain in her eyes.
"Have you come to your senses again? Did this guy have some illness just now? Otherwise, he was frightened." Next to the woman, there was another woman with short hair, a tattoo on her neck, earrings and lip studs One of them has fair skin, but wears many weird rings and tattoos on his fingers.
Compared with the woman who woke Luo Xi before, she has two styles, one is normal, and the other is extremely different.
"Newbie? You probably haven't collected all the professional cards yet, why did you come to Youzuo Temple?" The long-haired woman who looked normal asked, but before Luo Xi could answer, an unusual person appeared next to her. The short-haired woman smiled and said, "Why else? You are overestimating your abilities. It's not like I have never seen such a person before."
Luo Xi shook his head at this time.
It still hurts.
But it is much weaker than before. It is obvious that the painkillers have played a role.
Painkillers only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and as the frequency of use increases, the body will definitely develop drug resistance. Not to mention the side effects on the body, the pain relief effect will be greatly reduced.
“I suggest you give up. Now you have just solved the lottery three times and it is like this. As the number of lottery solutions increases, various negative effects will be added. By then, it will be difficult to feel comfortable and die. Diyuan This is not how the attribute scene works."
The long-haired woman said, and then changed the topic: "But before you leave, you can exchange signatures with us. I just saw that you have something here. A signature is suitable for us. ”
Luo Xi knew what the other party was talking about.
The one who wins the lottery, the red wheel falls in the west and the rabbit rises in the east, and the yin is long and the yang is short, and everything is prosperous.
“Can the signatures be exchanged?” Luo Xi asked at this time.
"Sure enough, this is your first time to come to Youzuo Temple." The long-haired woman smiled slightly: "The signatures can be exchanged. In addition, direct attacks and snatching of other memories from other memory collectors are not allowed here. Things, including any finances and signatures, can only be exchanged."
Luo Xi guessed this.
If it weren't for this rule, he would probably have to have his pants removed by now.
"I can exchange with you, but I want to know the various rules of Youzuo Temple." Luo Xi said.
The long-haired woman over there said: "Actually, there are not too many rules. Apart from what the old monk told you about collecting the seven kinds of fortune telling, it is what I just said. You cannot attack or rob during this time. If you violate it, you will be seen by the many gods and Buddhas here and punished, and then it will be gone."
" What about the solution?”
“There are many types, but they are generally written very clearly. They are divided into three types: upper, middle, and lower. Each type has many different interpretations. It seems that there are There are good and bad, but in fact, it just depends on who is right. For example, the 'yin long and yang short' in your hand is a bad sign for you, but it becomes a good sign for us. "
Luo Xi also agreed with this statement.
"Okay, what kind of signature do you want to exchange for?" Luo Xi agreed. For him, that signature did not do him any good.
“See if this works.” The long-haired woman smiled, took out a stick and showed it, which read: Zhongping, the news from the horizon is difficult to understand, so don’t force it.
"If you don't understand, I can help you answer it. This sign The solution means that movement is worse than stillness, and all efforts are in vain. If you are more conservative, maybe there will be a turn for the better, right?"
Obviously, the long-haired woman is right, as for Luo Xi. The interpretation of "yin is long and yang is short" is better than that of a woman with long hair.
At least it's not a negative effect.
Luo Xi had no reason to refuse.
"Okay, let's exchange."
"Come, exchange in front of the Buddha, as a proof." The long-haired woman walked to the Guanyin statue and knelt on the futon. Luo Xi also came over, The two said that the exchange of signatures was voluntary, sincere, and they would never regret it.
Then there is mutual exchange.
"Is that enough?" Luo Xi asked while holding the other party's money.
"Then what else do you want? This is cumbersome enough." The long-haired woman was very happy. She was a woman, and Luo Xi's signature was indeed of great benefit to her.
After changing the signature, the long-haired woman stopped talking to Luo Xi.
Obviously, after achieving her goal, she was too lazy to say another word to Luo Xi.
On the other hand, the short-haired alternative woman looked at Luo Xi and kept urging: "Let's go before you die. Without strong enough abilities and means, you can't get any benefits here. You know, just If you want to get the seven-sign solution, you have to pay at least seven cards. If you are unlucky, not only will you die, but the seven cards will also be wasted. Why bother?”
"Brother Seven, why are you talking to him so much? Let's go. It has nothing to do with us whether he continues or not." The long-haired woman was completely different from before. Before, she was trying to get Luo Xi to agree to exchange signatures. Now her purpose was achieved. , that’s not a good look at all.
On the other hand, the short-haired woman named 'Seventh Brother' looks different and abnormal, but her eyes do not have the disdain and indifference of the long-haired woman.
"That's right. I don't know you either. Why bother to say so much? You may not listen to me." She laughed at herself and stood up to leave, but after thinking about it, she turned back and said: "There is also a mutual conflict between the interpretations. If you exchange more with other people, you may be able to get a solution that suits you. If there are some particularly bad interpretations, you can use other money solutions to neutralize them."
said After finishing, he waved his hand coolly and left quickly.
She is really cool, cool to the core.
Luo Xi watched the two people leave, then stood up and moved his limbs.
In his eyes, the passages in front and behind were still shrouded in fog. Since he couldn't escape, he just faced it directly.
"If you don't encounter monsters, forget it. If you do, you will be unlucky!"
Luo Xi stepped forward and walked into the mist.
