Chapter 344: The Road Back to the Mountain
"Amitabha!", all the monks said the Buddha name in unison, and then, with a heavy heart, everyone raised their legs as if they had been filled with lead, and walked forward step by step.
Although the corner of the hill was only about 100 meters away from the crowd, they walked more than three minutes before they reached the first body lying on the side of the road.
This person, an older old man, thought about it in his mind for a while, and immediately recognized that this was also one of the farmers he met when he came to the Atlantis continent for the first month.
He was supposed to live a long life of 200 years, and he could have children and daughters when he was old, and he enjoyed his old age in peace, but he actually died here.
And because no one cleaned up for a long time, and no one dared to approach the Golden Cicada Temple, because the numerous corpses had rotted and were crawling with maggots, emitting a foul smell.
At this moment, behind Ikyu and the others, there were many shouts of people, and immediately after, everyone saw the black crowd rushing towards them with many hemp rope baskets.
Ikyu was instantly alert, thinking that someone was going to attack him, and immediately put on a defensive knowledge, and the two groups of people were beating each other.
Suddenly and miraculously paused, and an old man came out of the crowd opposite, and it was Brother Hao who squinted his eyes and asked in shock.
"It's Master Ikyu, are you back?"
Ikyu hurriedly stepped forward, took her hand that was trembling with jealousy with excitement, and replied seriously.
"Yes, the poor monk has returned. ”
As soon as these words came out, about 100 or so people cried with joy, and Brother Hao continued to tremble his hands, and said with red eyes.
"You finally came back, I heard my son say that you and your masters were framed and taken to the border to serve as soldiers, and then my son was arrested and will never see you again. ”
The more he said that there was more and more a sad atmosphere in the crowd, Yixiu was very moved, but now he was pretending to be strong, he could only pretend to be happy or sad, and picked up Brother Hao, who was almost crying and fell to the ground, and let Hu Qingniu take care of it, and he just planned to continue to go up.
Ikyu didn't want to let these people die innocently, because people continued to expose corpses in the wilderness, and he wanted to find a home for these people.
But Ikyu looked up from the foot of the mountain, and there was a mountain about 3,000 meters high, and a staircase about 45 degrees angled from the mountainside to his feet.
At this moment, there are basically one or two people upside down every step or three steps, and there are too many of them, and no matter how great the strength is, he can't control so many people.
At this time, the second wave of helpers also arrived at the scene, in addition to the villagers of Yiyi New Village who had just been rescued, there were also a large number of believers who rushed to hear the news.
In an instant, the foot of the mountain was surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three layers.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet," Ikyu said in a deep voice.
"I believe everyone has seen it, and these days also know what happened to the Golden Cicada Temple, and some of you are still the people who were implicated in this incident, but the poor monk failed to save the endgame, and I feel ashamed, here, the poor monk confesses to you. ”
Ikkyu bowed deeply to everyone, and the monks also folded their hands, followed by Ikkyu and bowed deeply, this bow with Ikkyu's full apology to everyone.
The listeners were moved and said that none of this matter mattered of rest.
Yixiu can't be so ignorant, he still remembers this matter in his heart, and at the same time he still remembers a big thing to do in front of him, so he said to everyone with a cheeky face.
"Now the poor monks still have one more thing to trouble everyone, to help carry these suffering corpses, go to the mountains, the poor monks and the monks of the Golden Cicada Temple hold a transcendent ceremony, so that they can ascend to the Buddha country as soon as possible. ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes lit up, because Ikyu has the ability to exceed, everyone knows it, but no one has followed Ikyu to the battlefield, and those who have been to the battlefield have not been put home for the time being because of the special period, and they have not told others about Ikyu's miraculous deeds in Handolo City.
As a result, many people have never seen Ikyu at all, and coupled with the special emotions in everyone's hearts that are stimulated by Ikyu, no one refuses Ikyu's request.
But seeing that Ichiyu slowly lowered his body, opened his hands, and picked it up, the old farmer, who had already died, walked towards the mountain.
Seeing this, the golden cicada and the others followed, and each of them picked up one person, and followed the first one to the mountain.
The others were silent when they saw this, and followed behind them, and every time they saw a person lying on the side of the road, no matter how smelly and dirty his body was, everyone treated them equally, hugged them, and walked out of the pilgrimage steps towards the top of the mountain.
Originally, it didn't take a few cups of tea for Ikyu, but this time he walked up the mountain and took people for a full hour.
The scene halfway can almost be described as shocking, halfway up the mountain, Yixiu turned a corner again and walked towards the new village of Jinchan.
Because the number of people who died there according to intelligence was not at all less than those on the road, and even more so.
When he arrived at the place, Yixiu Danfan was prepared, but he was still startled by the scene in front of him.
I saw that the originally orderly village had already been demolished, and it seemed that a fire had been set to burn down most of the houses, and at a glance, the whole village was in ruins.
Many, many people died, and were burned beyond recognition by a fire.
Seeing this scene, Yi Xiu was so angry that his teeth itched.
"How many merit points do I still have in the system, I want to make all the dead present be exceeded. ”
The system answers: "Your current skills have been adjusted, and you can't carry out a wide range of excess activities, and there is a time to use skills, but if you want to exceed the degree at one time, you can let the excess person live in a space as much as possible, and at the same time, there are a large number of excess people in the space, and my energy consumption will also increase, and your merit points will be deducted by 5,000, may I ask if the host agrees?"
Ikyu didn't answer immediately, but took it himself, removed a large wooden stake blocking the entrance of the village, and walked towards the village.
At the same time, Ikyu didn't forget to turn around, pointing to a large open space that had been burned beyond recognition, so as to say to the people behind him.
"Excuse me, please let the deceased into it, and be sure to watch your step. ”
The reason why Ikkyu specially proposed to be at his feet was because in the houses where he was burned, there might be people lying down.
So before that, Ikyu naturally took someone up to clean up the ruins.
So the process took nearly ten minutes, and after the completion of the process, a circular field of about 150 people was cleared.
In the process, they found more than 300 corpses that had been roasted to charred corpses, plus those who were about to collapse, lying next to the houses, and the corpses carried by the people along the way, as well as those who continued to walk up the mountain and carried them down from the mountain, a total of 2,111 people!!!
