But the reality was far crueler than they imagined. The distance they walked this time was shorter, only about 1/4 of the original distance. Then the weird Buddhist temple appeared in front of them again, and the sound of chanting inside, and The scent of incense is clearer.
Now, the three people in Jiangcheng also understand that they are sandwiched between the Buddhist Hall and the Merit Hall, and the distance is still shortening.
If they don't choose either one, the final result will be that the Buddha Hall and Merit Hall press against 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 take 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 easier to just climb the trees."
Jiang Cheng was not prepared to explain to him any more. He just said something perfunctory, "I can't trust these 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 with strange eyes, as if they were not trees, but corpses disguised as trees.
Without any 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 and death, but even if the fat man straightened his body, they were not tall enough, and they were still at least one meter tall.
"Miss Ye, step on us." Jiang Cheng urged quickly.
Ye Qiutang looked at the fat man. Before she could speak, Jiang Cheng spoke first, "Don't worry, he's fine."
Ye Qiutang's skills were pretty good. She wasn't the kind of spoiled girl. She 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 at the wall. outside.
"hiss--"
Hearing Ye Qiutang's strange gasping sound, Jiang Cheng probably started thinking, "What did you see?"
"Walls, one after another, densely packed walls." Ye Qiutang's tone became strange, 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 this? You should explain it more clearly."
"There are walls outside us, one next to the other, endless, with no end in sight." After calming down a little, Ye Qiutang explained, "The outside is not a temple, nor is there any Taoist temple, there are only walls, one layer surrounding the other. .”
After hearing Ye Qiutang's description of Jiangcheng, he roughly had a picture, which was similar to what he had thought at the beginning. Since the other party was setting up a trap here, they would 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 Buddhist Hall is not grand, and even has a hint of weirdness. 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 and said, "It's not a Buddhist temple, so what does it look like to you?"
"It's more like a wild immortal temple. I heard that some evil sects cannot blatantly worship wild immortals, 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 explain.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng frowned, "This statement is untenable. First of all, this kind of thing cannot be hidden. Sooner or later, word will spread and attract officers and soldiers."
[In view of the general environment,
"Also, building a wild immortal temple in Buddhism is also disrespectful to the wild immortals. Is this eating Buddhist incense or letting the Buddha eat his own incense?"
Facing Jiang Cheng's inquiry, Ye Qiutang just shook his head, "I don't know about this. I only heard my father's subordinates mention this. He
I once led troops to conquer a large stockade in southern Xinjiang. The stockade was divided into several villages. These barbarians were very evil. Not to mention they dressed up in bloody and weird ways. They also offered sacrifices to evil spirits. The most terrifying thing was that we opened a You can't even imagine the secret passages under the villages. There are actually all clay figures in there. They are not the kind of clay figures you think of. They are real clay figures, people wrapped in mud. These people even have Some of them were still alive, but their bellies were very big, and there were things squirming inside. My father's men had never seen this battle, so they ordered these people to be temporarily guarded. "
"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, and the superiors specially allocated a lot of money for pensions. Finally, we found a few talented people to work together to settle the matter. , the entrance of the cave was also dug down and sealed permanently.”
Jiang Cheng noticed that Ye Qiutang's eyes had changed slightly, and then lowered his voice, "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. Their evil skills It just allows a man to give birth to a child, and that child..."
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 important!"
Ye Qiutang was also startled when Jiang Cheng grabbed his wrist, "That's all I know, you... what are you doing, let go!"
Now Jiang Cheng has determined 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 escaped. He came to Heishui Village in the mountains, that hell on earth.
"Um?"
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... that was the Hall of Merit!
Merit Hall 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 Tong Kong shrank violently, "Mr. Song...Mr. Song!"
