Chapter 429: The Monk's Dry Corpse
The three of us followed the direction of the thousand-feathered spirit beast's cry and moved our eyes to the monk's temple.
The area of this ruined temple is not large, almost forty square meters, except for the broken door in front of it, there is not a single window on the surrounding walls.
The more the Thousand Feathered Spirit Beast screamed, the more excited it became, and it seemed to alarm the quiet valley, and the unknown birds on the branches fluttered and flew wildly.
Zixuan hurriedly covered its eyes with his hands, and at the same time kept whispering to reassure it, and after a while, it stopped.
Liu Kai took the giant sword off his shoulder and pestled it on the ground, and said with some trepidation:
"There are so many corpses, shouldn't there be some monster in the monk's temple? These are the scraps of that monster?"
"No wonder that kid just didn't want to come up......"
I looked back and forth in this valley, except for this monk's temple, it is full of deep forests and high mountains, and there is nothing to explore.
So he gritted his teeth and said:
"It doesn't matter what kind of monster it is, this is the address given by the wolf, you can't hide it!"
After speaking, I touched two ghost fire talismans in the palm of my hand, and told Zixuan not to follow in first, and to grope and grope for myself and Liu Kai first.
After making a decision, I took the lead in holding the ring knife and walked towards the main entrance of the monk's temple.
As soon as I arrived at the door, a cold wind blew out of my face, and it still smelled of earth, which was slightly different from the smell of fishy corpses outside.
The door was made of wood, broken and broken, covered with cobwebs, and must have not been visited for a long time.
Liu Kai hid behind me, squinted his eyes, and asked in a low voice:
"It's so dark, I can't see anything. ”
Indeed, although the sun was shining brightly outside, the inside of the monk's temple was as dark as night, perhaps because there were no windows.
I took a step back, then lifted my sword and slammed the tip against the wooden door.
Suddenly there was a piercing "squeak!", and the wooden door swayed, and after holding on for two seconds, the sound of "bang!" scattered on the ground, smashing up bursts of dust.
I covered my nose to cover the ashes, and quickly threw a ghost fire charm in my backhand.
There was no wooden door to block it, a little sunlight shone in, and the fireball formed by the ghost fire talisman, for a while, the structure of the entire temple was clearly visible.
The temple was more complete than I had imagined, with a very small Buddha statue in the center, a wooden fish in front of the statue, an incense burner, and two burned candle roots.
On the left are wooden tables, chairs, and beds, and even neatly stacked quilts.
This shows that the dog baby did not lie to me, there was indeed a monk living here, but that monk may have disappeared for a long time.
At this point, the ghost fire charm burned out and the light disappeared.
Liu Kai and I retracted our gazes, and he said:
"It's not that scary, it's just an ordinary house......"
Before he could finish speaking, I had already decisively turned on the lighting of my mobile phone and stepped into the temple with it raised.
Liu Kai shouted anxiously at the door:
"What's there to see here......"
As soon as I stepped inside, I felt a chill hit me and the temperature dropped rapidly.
It was like there was a leak in one place, and it was blowing into the house, but it was never blowing in from the valley outside.
It also shows that I have found the right place.
Holding up my phone, I first checked the incense burner in front of the Buddha statue, and the ashes had solidified, including the candles and wooden fish, and a thick layer of dust had fallen.
There was no trace on the ground except my footprints.
It is certain that this temple has not been visited for a long time.
At this time, Liu Kai dragged the giant sword, walked in cautiously, and asked in a low voice:
"See what's wrong?"
I ignored him, turned around and walked to the bedside, the quilt was neatly folded, and there was an ancient book next to the pillow with the words "Diamond Sutra" written on it.
When I lifted my hand and picked it up, the dust on it fell like sand.
Liu Kai leaned over and looked at it, muttering:
"I'll go! "Diamond Sutra", Buddhism's inner family exercises!"
I asked curiously:
"You know the book?"
Liu Kai smiled solemnly:
"Haven't you watched the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story", the hero Yan Chixia defended Ning Caichen from "Diamond Sutra"!"
I gave him a kick with a speechless leg, thinking he really knew something, but it turned out to be nonsense.
Flip through a few pages at random, and it's all densely packed with complex text.
So I asked Liu Kai:
"Do you want this Diamond Sutra?"
Liu Kai shook his head decisively and said:
"I'm going to Wudang Mountain to learn how to draw talismans, where can I have time to watch this monk chanting scriptures......"
In that case, I had to laugh at it.
I have no sect, no matter whether it is Taoist or Buddhist, take it back into the storage ring, and when I have time in the future, I can study and study.
As soon as he took back the ring of the "Diamond Sutra", he heard Liu Kai pointing to the corner and teasing:
"This monk is building a thatched house in the house, isn't he bored?"
I looked in the direction of Liu Kai, and in the right corner of the room, there was indeed a partition blocking the space.
But I immediately felt that this was definitely not a thatched house.
The two of us raised our mobile phones at the same time to take a photo, and instantly realized that what kind of partition was this, it was obviously a black wooden coffin placed vertically.
Liu Kai was startled:
"I'll go, this big coffin ......"
Not only that, but I also found that on the outside of the black wooden coffin, there were many red spell patterns faintly drawn.
As I walked slowly, I saw that the walls next to the coffin were also full of red spells.
I was surprised to raise my phone and go around the wall of the room, I didn't notice it at all, only to realize that the whole room was covered with a red spell pattern.
Based on my experience of learning the formation chapter of "Tiangang Fu Spell Record", this is more like drawing a formation through the house.
What the hell is going on......
I boldly walked towards the coffin, the dust was so thick that I couldn't see the spell on it.
So I reached out and tried to wipe part of it out, but as soon as my fingers touched the coffin, there was a few crisp sounds, and the whole coffin lid was split apart in an instant.
I quickly took a few steps back, and even though the dust was splashing, I kept my sword in my grip and squinted into the coffin.
Xu Zixuan, who was outside the temple, shouted worriedly:
"Li Xiao, what's going on?"
I covered my mouth and nose and responded:
"It's fine!"
At this point, the gray smoke cleared, and I walked slowly forward.
Until the bright light of the mobile phone shines into the coffin again, it is found that there is a body that has been dried inside.
The corpse was shriveled and could no longer see its face, and was sitting cross-legged in a robe, with his hands folded.
Could this be the temple master, the monk?
Liu Kai was hiding far away, but when he saw that the corpse was not moving, he stepped forward and curiously held up his mobile phone to sweep around.
Surprised:
"Is this monk killed here?"
I looked with Liu Kai's light, and found that there were many wooden swords scattered next to the place where the corpse was sitting, at least a dozen of them, and they were all peachwood swords.
And both sides of the coffin are also covered with sword holes and sword marks.
