Chapter 50 Cutting meat to feed the eagle
When Li Sheng and Zhou Zhihu met.
The two who were supposed to be enemies were extremely jealous when they met.
But under the influence of this temple, the two of them couldn't bear much hostility and caution when they saw each other.
Both reluctantly told each other the whole story.
Zhou Zhihu, like Li Sheng, relied on his own ability to get rid of the temple's brainwashing.
But if most of the elite men are killed, even if they escape, they will never be able to hang out in this sea area in the future.
Originally, even though he had been injured before, his vitality was severely damaged.
If we lose the last group of people, the forces that we have offended in the past will be able to skin them, tear them apart, and eat them alive.
The two looked at each other, and after a moment of discussion, they finally decided to temporarily join forces in this temple.
"If this ghost place is really a weird place, then there must be a way for him to survive."
"We must find out the rules here before we have a chance to escape from here."
Anyway, with the temple's ability to brainwash, the two of them could barely maintain hostility.
Betrayal, sneak attacks, killings, etc. are impossible.
So there is no need to worry about what the other party will do.
Moreover, their mood has become brighter, and they naturally have more trust in other people.
So the two hit it off and started searching in the temple.
And those monks just looked at them with smiles, showing no signs of stopping them.
Let them go in and out of any place in the whole temple, and he will tell them everything about their problems.
Li Sheng even asked them if there was any way for them to get rid of the influence of the temple and return to their original personalities.
When the abbot and abbot heard this, he rarely showed a trace of sadness:
"It's so good, those donors have suffered so much in the world, why not find peace in a pure place."
“How can one say that it is good for them when the benefactor forcibly brings them into a sea of suffering?”
“As for the so-called character of mind... they just brushed away the dust in their hearts and saw their true nature clearly. , why talk about brainwashing?"
Zhou Zhihu cursed:
"What nonsense are you talking to this hairless turtle? Go and search quickly to see if there are any clues."
The two had no choice but to search every room in the entire temple, refusing to leave out every detail.
It was not until evening that the two reunited.
The most unusual thing about the entire temple is the Buddha statue in the main hall and the inaccessible tower.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Li Sheng saw from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be golden tears dripping from the corner of the Buddha statue's eyes.
Li Sheng, who noticed something strange, studied the Buddha statue for a long time before he saw a line of small characters flashing across the belly of the Buddha statue.
[Sandalwood hell: the false combination of the five aggregates, self-grasping of birth and death, ignorance of the six paths, and separation of aggregates is the self]
The high tower was visited by Zhou Zhihu to investigate.
With such a conspicuous building, anyone would suspect that there is something wrong with this tower.
Zhou Zhihu took out a key and said with a proud smile:
"I ran to ask the bald donkey how to get into the pagoda. He said that one needs to have great compassion and benevolence to cut meat to feed the eagles before he can enter the fragrant sandalwood pagoda."
"I cut off a piece of meat from my thigh and stuffed it into it. It went into the mouth of the bald donkey abbot."
"After he ate the meat, he vomited the key."
Li Sheng thought for a while and decided to take it. While the brainwashing in Xiangtan Temple is not yet deep, quickly enter the tower to investigate.
If you see that the situation is not good, it is best to retreat in time.
"Then let's go." Zhou Zhihu said with a smile.
But Li Sheng insisted on making a special trip back and brought Chen Tianfu with him.
Li Sheng was really worried about leaving him here alone.
As for the others, no matter how Li Sheng explained or persuaded them, they all seemed to lie flat, unwilling to follow Li Sheng into the fragrant sandalwood tower. Li Sheng no longer pressed, and together with Chen Tianfu and Zhou Zhihu, used the key to unlock the door of the Xiangtan Tower.
The moment they opened the door, the three of them felt their eyes blur, and then they appeared inexplicably in the tower.
Before they could react, the door behind them closed again with a bang.
"Cough cough cough...what's the smell in this tower, why is it so raging."
Zhou Zhihu cursed angrily, and then coughed repeatedly.
The other two people were also very uncomfortable. As soon as they entered the tower, they felt an extremely strong smell of burning sandalwood.
It goes straight to the nose and makes the person choke and unable to breathe.
The three of them thought that was all, but the next moment, little sparks suddenly appeared from the ground.
Like countless burning Buddhist incense sticks, it burned several people after breaking out of the ground.
Although one or two of them are alone, it is not a pain at all to them.
But the burning Buddhist incense is endless and spreads throughout the entire tower.
The three people were so hot that they gritted their teeth and screamed again and again.
And this tall tower is empty and empty, with no steps, no second or third floors.
There is only the bare floor and the endless burning Buddhist incense.
“This damn ghost temple is trying to turn me into bacon!”
The three of them had nowhere to escape and no way to hide.
They tried to break open the door, but the door seemed to be welded with fine iron. No matter how hard the three of them smashed it, it would not budge.
If we don’t escape, I’m afraid all three of them will die alive here.
At this moment, Li Sheng suddenly found that his appetite seemed to be recovering.
And the malice in Zhou Zhihu's eyes gradually overflowed, and there was even a faint murderous intention to attack the two of them.
As for Chen Tianfu, he was also waking up from a dream and couldn't help but cursed:
"Have I been possessed by evil spirits these past two days? How could I not want to leave this ghost place?"
As their desire returned, the three of them found themselves hanging in the air.
As if being repelled by the ground, it floated a few feet above the ground.
This also allowed several people to escape from the burning of part of the Buddhist incense, but the smoke from the burning Buddhist incense still choked the three of them in great pain.
"Could it be..."
At this moment, Li Sheng had an idea and understood the riddle of the pagoda and how to solve it.
"It's emotions and desires. As long as we return to the state before entering the Buddhist temple, we can float high enough!"
After Li Sheng's reminder, Zhou Zhihu glared at the two of them and tried his best Recalling the hatred and murderous intention towards the two people, as well as the greed and tyranny in his own heart.
Li Sheng no longer hesitated and bit his palm violently.
A large amount of delicious and fragrant blood flowed from the palm of his hand. Li Sheng only tasted it and felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever seen in his life.
No wonder those weird monsters like the taste of their own family’s flesh and blood.
"It is truly the most delicious feast in the world."
During the excitement, Li Sheng's desire quickly recovered, and he rose to the top faster and faster.
After a while, the three of them reached the highest level, which was a large suspended platform.
On the top floor, there is no burning incense or suffocating smoke.
The three of them fell to the ground and kept breathing heavily, feeling grateful that they finally survived.
If you were suffocated to death by such a large incense burner, that would be the worst way to die.
