Chapter 1689 The Dead Man Worships the Buddha
But the reality is far crueler than they imagined. The distance they walked this time was shorter, only about 1/4 of the original one, and then the weird Buddha appeared in front of them again. The temple, and the sound of chanting and the smell of incense inside became clearer.
Now that things have happened, the three people in Jiangcheng also understand that they are sandwiched between the Buddhist Hall and the Merit Hall, and the distance is still shrinking.
If they don’t choose either one, the final result will be that the Buddhist Hall of Merit and Virtue will press on them at the same time, and the consequences will only be more tragic.
But it was impossible for Jiang Cheng to give in so easily. Jiang Cheng patted the fat man's arm and pulled him close to a high wall. "Put up a ladder and send me up to have a look."
The fat man looked at the two rows of trees by the wall and blinked in confusion, "There's no need to go to such trouble. It's much easier to just climb the trees."
Jiang Cheng didn't plan to explain to him more, but just scrawled a perfunctory sentence. , "I can't believe this "Some trees."
The fat man didn't understand it at first, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he suddenly became frightened and looked at the nearby trees again, as if they were not trees, but a tree. There are corpses disguised as trees.
No more nonsense, the fat man squatted down, patted a broad shoulder, and motioned Jiang Cheng to step on him.
Jiang Cheng was not polite at the moment of life or death, but even if the fat man straightened his body, they were not tall enough and were at least one meter tall.
"Miss Ye, step on us." Jiang Cheng urged quickly.
Ye Qiutang looked at the fat man, and before she could speak, Jiang Cheng from above spoke first, "Don't worry, he's fine."
Ye Qiutang's skills are pretty good, she's not that kind The pampered girl pressed Jiang Cheng's shoulders with both hands, jumped up, and put her knees on Jiang Cheng's shoulders. The remaining height was just enough for her to stick her head out and look outside the wall.
“Hiss——”
Hearing Ye Qiutang’s strange gasping sound, Jiang Cheng probably started to think, “What did you see?”
"Walls, one after another, densely packed walls." Ye Qiutang's tone became weird, and you can imagine the shock to her.
The fat man who was pressed at the bottom couldn't understand, "Miss Ye, what kind of wall is it? You should explain it more clearly."
"There are walls outside us, one by one. It's endless, there's no end in sight," Ye Qiutang explained after calming down a little. , "There is no temple outside, and there is no Taoist temple. There are only walls, one layer surrounding the other."
After hearing Ye Qiutang's description of Jiangcheng, he probably had a picture, and it was similar to what he had thought at the beginning. , since the other party has set up a trap here, they will naturally block their escape route.
After the two came down one by one, Jiang Cheng let Fat Ye Qiutang rest for a few minutes, and then the three of them moved towards the newly appeared Buddhist temple while being vigilant.
As the distance got further and further away, the full view of the Buddhist temple slowly unfolded in front of the three of them. Jiang Cheng was certain that he had never seen such a Buddhist temple in the Holding Precepts Temple.
The Buddha Hall is not grand, and even a little weird. Moreover, under the Buddha Hall, the three of them did not feel any respect for the Buddha. On the contrary, there was a cold and cold feeling.
“The style of this Buddhist temple is so strange. It doesn’t seem to be a Buddhist temple.” Ye Qiutang was the first to speak.
Jiangcheng didn’t have much research on the architectural style. He looked at Ye Qiutang, “It’s not a Buddhist temple, so what does it look like to you?”
“It looks like a wild fairy temple, I heard. It is said that some evil wild immortals cannot be worshiped blatantly, otherwise they will be strangled by the government, so the locals will build a temple first, and then build a wild immortal temple inside the temple," Ye Qiutang explained.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned, "This statement is untenable. First of all, if this kind of thing cannot be hidden, sooner or later it will be spread and attract officers and soldiers."
"Also, building a wild immortal temple in Buddhism, this It is also disrespectful to the wild immortals. Is this eating Buddhist incense or letting the Buddha eat his own incense?"
Facing Jiang Cheng's question, Ye Qiutang just shook his head, "I don't know. , I have only heard my father’s subordinates mention this. He once led his troops to conquer a large village in southern Xinjiang. The village was divided into several villages. These barbarians were very evil and dressed in bloody and weird clothes. Not to mention, we also offered sacrifices to evil spirits. The most terrifying thing is that we opened a secret passage under a village. You can't even imagine that there are actually all clay figures in there. They are not the kind of clay figures you think of. The people are real clay figures, people wrapped in mud. Some of these people are even still alive, but their bellies are very big, and there are things squirming inside. My father's subordinates have never seen this battle, so The order was given to temporarily keep these people under guard. "
"But who would have thought that something happened that night. He didn't say the details, but later I found out that many officers and soldiers died that time. A lot of pension money was allocated on a special trip, and finally some experts were asked to work together to settle the matter. The entrance of the hole was dug down and sealed permanently. "
Jiang Cheng noticed that Ye Qiutang's eyes changed vaguely, and then. He lowered his voice and said, "Later I heard that the evil sect in that village was very powerful. They respected women and even captured many of our soldiers to give birth to their children."
Hearing Ye Qiutang's words, Jiangcheng Fatty was stunned for a moment. They immediately thought of the world mentioned by Yao, Shunyu, and Li Bai.
"What else do you know about that village? Come on, this is very important!"
Ye Qiutang was shocked when Jiang Cheng grabbed his wrist, "That's all I know. What are you doing, let go!”
Now! Jiang Cheng has been able to confirm that the village Ye Qiutang mentioned is the world of Li Baiyao and Shunyu. However, judging from the time, Ye Qiutang's information is not completely accurate. At least the village was not completely wiped out, and some remnants slipped away. Blackwater Village in the mountains, that hell on earth.
“Huh?”
The sound of chanting nearby became more intense, and as Jiang Cheng turned around, he actually saw a ray of light in the distance. That was the Hall of Merit!
Gongdetang came to find them.
The three of them no longer hesitated and walked into the door of the Buddhist temple together. The door was pushed open and the first thing they saw was a huge screen.
The screen is clean and the material is very thin, just like a piece of paper.
The sound of chanting sutras and worshiping Buddha came from behind the paper screen.
The fat man suddenly had the courage to poke a hole in the screen. Through the hole, he saw the scene behind him. Six monks were kneeling in front of a wall with their backs to them, knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras.
Looking at the backs of the six people, the fat man felt more and more familiar, but he couldn't match the impression he had of the monks in the temple.
Until he caught a glimpse of another monk walking out of the shadows on one side.
The next second, the fat man's breathing stopped, and his pupils shrank suddenly, "Mr. Song Song!" (End of this chapter)
