"The obsession on [Xin Zi Thirty-one] does not come from any Buddhist monk, but from an executioner. He started chanting Buddha's name in his later years because he felt that he had killed too many people and was worried that he would go to Abi Hell after death, so he I thought of a way to save people and atone for their sins.
"Unfortunately, something went wrong when he met the first person. The person who listened to his explanation recognized him as the person who executed his father, so he made an excuse and left for a while. When he came back, he was in his arms. There was a sharp knife hidden in it, and he stabbed the executioner in the chest while he was unaware.
"However, perhaps because he was too nervous, the knife was slightly off by half an inch. It did not kill the executioner immediately. Instead, it aroused the ferocity in his heart. The executioner picked up the cloud board on the side and smashed it into the sneak attack. He hit the opponent's head seven times in a row, smashing the opponent's head to pieces, with red and white splatters all over the floor.
"However, the executioner was seriously injured in the first place, and now he has torn the wound again after some actions. It seems that he will not survive. He took only three steps out of the cloud board and fell down in front of the temple. He died."
The man paused and continued, "So the most important thing when facing [Xin Zi Thirty-One] is not to leave the temple in the middle of its sermon, otherwise it will immediately anger it and make it go crazy.
"Of course, you can't stay there, because after it finishes teaching the Dharma, you will have nowhere to go except its Buddha. This is why most people who encounter [Xin Zi Thirty One] cannot survive. The reason is that the only person who survived was a Taoist priest."
"Because he can't believe in Buddhism?"
"No, it's because he saw through the true identity of the old monk in the hall. In that hall were not only the Golden Buddha and the Bronze Arhat, but also the ring-headed knife that the old monk used when he was an executioner, but it was divided into seven parts. copies, hidden in different places, if you can find all seven fragments and put them together.
"Then the old monk will discuss with you and agree to send you out of the hall, on the condition that you cannot tell others about the discovery of the Huanshou Sword after you leave, otherwise it will affect his ability to save people and accumulate merit."
Kui's heart moved, "So you made up a lie in advance to trick Lu Jing into covering his eyes?"
The man nodded and admitted readily, "Although that knife is really hard to find, to be on the safe side, we helped [Xinzi Thirty-One] seal its only weak point."
After saying that, he smiled again, "I know what you want to do. You want to get a way to deal with [Xin Zi Thirty-One] from me, and then go and save that kid.
"It's a pity that you have to beat me on the chessboard first. Our chess skills are evenly matched, but now you are doing two things. The more you try to save people's hearts, the more chaos you will have and the more flaws you will have.
"But don't worry, even if I win you, I won't do anything to you. I will just play you again. And when the academy disciple named Lu Jing dies, no matter whether you are willing to be my companion or not , I will let you go."
"You don't understand me," Aoi said. "Although you have investigated my life experience and past, you still don't understand me. I will not be a companion with someone like you."
"Really?" The man pointed to the chessboard noncommittally, "It's your turn."
…………
Lu Jing listened to the old monk's sermon in the main hall for a while, but unfortunately he didn't hear anything special.
Basically, they are all easy-to-understand contents, and they are repeated over and over again to persuade people to practice Buddhism.
So after a while, Lu Jing took another step. He did not continue walking out of the hall. The teacher in the academy had said before that after accidental contact with strange objects, it is best not to run away immediately.
Because each monster has a unique behavioral logic, hasty actions taken without sufficient understanding of the monster may be counterproductive.
Although for now, this weird thing was quite polite to him, and it was a Buddhist weird thing and didn't seem to be offensive, Lu Jing still remained cautious.
He walked around the main hall first to test that he was indeed still in the destroyed temple before and had not gone anywhere else.
The golden light and grand Sanskrit singing before were more like a filter and background sound. He could still feel the gravel and ruins under his feet, and he almost tripped over something when he was just walking on the road.
When Lu Jing returned to his original position, a paper crane flew from outside the hall and landed on his shoulder. Then the paper crane opened its mouth and made Gong Hao's voice.
"How about, can you lure that thing out?"
Lu Jingdao, "I'm still thinking of a way."
"Okay," the paper crane paused for a moment and then said, "But if you really can't think of a good way, you can also run out directly. As long as you can run into my formation, you will be safe. With your martial arts , this distance should only be a matter of breaths."
Lu Jingdao, "I understand, oh by the way... Master Gong, did you hear the Sanskrit singing just now?"
"What kind of Sanskrit chant?" Gong Hao asked.
"What about the golden light? The golden light from before was so dazzling that you could feel it even if you were blindfolded."
"I didn't see any golden light either. These should all be illusions created by that strange thing. You must be careful inside and don't get caught in its ways." Gong Hao warned, "No matter what it says , especially remember not to take off the black cloth on your head."
"Don't worry, these conspiracies and tricks can't fool me... Master Gong, I plan to go to the place where the golden light shines. If I don't gain anything, I will come out. Please be prepared."
At this time, Gong Hao had already taken off the black cloth blindfolding his eyes and was staring closely at Lu Jing in the temple.
He hesitated after hearing this. He didn't want Lu Jing to run around in the temple anymore, but considering the role he played now, there seemed to be no reason to stop Lu Jing from investigating, so he could only say, " Be careful with everything.”
In the end, he was afraid of what would happen. He saw Lu Jing climbing up to the ruins on the west side of the hall, reaching out his hand as if he wanted to touch something.
Gong Hao didn't know what kind of illusion Lu Jing had seen. Anyway, in his eyes, Lu Jing was just scratching at the air.
And forget it was just a blind grab, Lu Jing's body suddenly froze, and then he shouted excitedly, "Guangming! So this is the light! I caught it, I caught the light!"
After saying that, his body tilted again, as if he had lost control, and rolled down the ruins, without any movement again.
When Gong Hao saw this, he couldn't help but feel worried and happy at the same time. He was happy that it seemed that Lu Jing had been eliminated by the monsters in the temple without him taking any action. What was worrying was that Lu Jing's fall made him fall to death. In that pile of ruins.
He could no longer see Lu Jing's figure now.
