Chapter 68: Poisoning
Xiao Hongchen saw that everyone was unresponsive for a while, obviously acquiescing to Master Kong's words, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He said so much, and he searched his body and turned the salute, but in fact, he just wanted to divert everyone's attention and approve his words from the other side. What he just said seems to be reasonable and well-founded, but in fact they are all circumstantial evidence, reasoning, and assumptions, none of which are real evidence that can prove that Qingxue did not kill anyone.
Fortunately, fortunately, no one thought of this, and if it was brought up, it would be hard to say. Perhaps, it's not that no one thought of it, but the people who saw it were also deliberately biased?
It's all this Xiaofei, if he hadn't come out, he wouldn't have stood up, this is good, it can be regarded as completely offending Xiangjiazhuang.
Xiao Hongchen was afraid in his heart, and he didn't dare to show it on his face. Quietly glanced at the people present, huh? What about chess pieces and operators?
After looking carefully, I found that they were taking something from the Buddha statue, some distance away, and in the dimness, they could see what it was.
How can this be stopped? I just offended the two of the Xiang family, and now if I speak again, will I make too many enemies at once?
Xiao Hongchen coughed unconsciously, and everyone looked up at him, only to find that he was staring in the direction of the Buddha statue.
"What's going on over there? Is there anything out of the ordinary? Murong Ke walked over there first.
"Hehe, it's nothing, we just see that this Buddha statue is well shaped, come and see"
"It's nothing, we're just going to take a look" The chess piece and the operator shook their heads together.
"Oh" Murong Ke nodded, is there anything special about this Buddha statue? "The word 'special' was bitten very hard, and Murong Ke meant something.
The operator continued to smile and said, "This Buddha statue is very poor, there is nothing, only a broken pocket is still strong, it just so happens that my burden is broken, so I will borrow it"
Having said that, Murong Ye had nothing to say, and after looking around, there was really nothing special. The matter of winglessness, this is the only way to do it now, go out and solve it themselves. The top priority now is to continue to move upward.
"Let's rest on the spot, let's continue to walk up" Murong Ke beckoned everyone to eat something and take a rest, but he walked to Leng Lone Star and discussed with him in a low voice how to go next.
The section of stairs leading to the fourth floor was unusually smooth, making everyone who had broken through the formation all the way very uncomfortable. Coming all the way, how did you get here and be fine?
"Is this to show that Maitreya Buddha's big belly can be accommodated?" The image of Maitreya Buddha is known to almost everyone, always smiling, with a big belly and a big pocket. It looks like the image of a good old man, so it is not surprising that Shen Yuan said this, but it is the voice of most people.
I'm afraid it's not, Qingxue secretly shook her head in her heart. As far as she knew, Maitreya Buddha was not yet a Buddha, and as predicted, he would be born in the future world of Sampa. The opening here Maitreya, and the pocket, is not the future Maitreya Buddha.
Legend has it that Maitreya Buddha had an incarnation in this world, and he often used a stick to pick a bag and make a walking monk to go to the fate. Whatever others gave to him, they put it in a bag, but they never saw him take anything out of it.
Someone asked him to solve his puzzles, what exactly did this say, Qingxue couldn't remember. In any case, he replied in verse, and if he didn't understand and asked, he laughed and walked away. This person has the nickname 'Budai Monk', and the person enshrined on it should be this one.
What should be the meaning of such a person who likes to use verses to save people, and what is it? On the first floor is the reality of the Buddha, there are crossbow arrows, mechanisms, if it is to remind us that the world is sinister, we must be more careful, step by step; The second floor is the Buddha burning lamp in the past, the phantom array, the Buddha sound, and the emptiness, that is, to make people firm in their will and not to be confused; The third floor, the third floor, empty, by the way, this is a suspicious strategy, in this way, it is to see if the people who come in, after so much, will lose their courage and not move forward.
Of course, these are just Qingxue's thoughts, she doesn't want to say it, in case it's wrong, won't be laughed at to death? It's just that if she guesses correctly, then what to try next, she has already calculated one or two in her heart. Because it is Manjushri Bodhisattva who is enshrined here, the Bodhisattva who is known for his wisdom, as long as he has read Journey to the West and seen the brave lion mount, he can understand it.
"Wow, this lion is so majestic, what kind of Buddha is this?" Shen Yuan asked curiously as he looked at the majestic green lion statue.
"This is not a Buddha, it's a bodhisattva. This is Manjushri, one of the eight great bodhisattvas, the left attendant of the Buddha. It is a symbol of wisdom, you see that he holds a sword in his left hand, a sutra in his right hand, and a green lion on his mount, which is a symbol of his wisdom and courage and unstoppable. Xiao Hongchen explained to Shen Yuan with a smile.
Master Likong recited a Buddha name and added, "Although Manjushri Bodhisattva is not a Buddha, he has attained the Buddhahood in his cultivation, and he only retreats from the Bodhisattva position for the sake of purifying sentient beings."
"Oh, that's right, then this Bodhisattva is really a good Bodhisattva" Shen Yuan nodded, looking at the Buddha statue with reverence.
Xiao Hongchen sighed helplessly, there is another guy who is more simple than Long Yunfei, this is just a myth and legend, religious belief!
"Also, have you seen the list of gods? Do you know that this lion also has a great background" Long Yunfei also came up and said, Shen Yuan was very interested, so the two hid in the corner and talked.
"Huh, what's strange?" Shangguan Xie muttered strangely.
"What's wrong," Hibernation, who was standing next to him, asked.
Shangguan Xie pointed to the sword in Manjushri's left hand and the sutra in his right hand, and said, "Look, the Buddhas below are all holding real objects in their hands, you see this Bodhisattva, the sutra in his right hand is true, why is his left hand holding a sword made of stone?" Even if it's not good, it's good to find an iron sword to recharge."
"That's just as well. However, even if it is a stone sword, the Bodhisattva will not care, this is just a form" Hibernation said nonchalantly, and ignored him.
Shangguan Xie continued to stare at that book very curiously, I don't know what kind of book it is? By the way, take it down and take a look?
Just thought of it, Shangguan Xie Fei took down the book, held it in his hand and looked at it, he couldn't understand any of the words on it? Just when he felt bored and wanted to put it back, Master Likong snatched it up, muttering in his mouth, ecstatic.
Everyone is inexplicable, what's wrong?
After brushing the dust off the book, he bowed respectfully before picking up the book and studying it carefully.
Shangguan Xie muttered, "Could it be that this is a martial arts cheat?" Ah, didn't I miss the opportunity to become a peerless master? ”
"Okay, look at it like that, it should be a Buddhist scripture, I guess it's a rare scripture, Master Likong will be like this" Shushu patted him late and interrupted Shangguan Xie's words.
"Oh, that's right, I thought I missed the martial arts cheats" Shangguan Xie raised his hand and patted his chest, looking like he had palpitations. However, halfway through his hand, he exclaimed, "Ah, what's going on?" My hand? ”
"What's wrong?" Shushu looked at his hand suspiciously, and saw that Shangguan Xie's hands were black, as if they were dyed with ink, "Did you touch something dirty, how do you look like you are dyed with ink?" ”
"No, I didn't touch anything? Ah, by the way, I just took that book" Shangguan Xie pointed to the book that Sora was reading.
The two of them looked into the sky together, and the hands he was flipping through the book were also jet black, even worse than Shangguan's, and his hands were full of black gas, but he was too attentive to notice it.
"It seems that there is something wrong with this book, how are you? Is there any sense of abnormality" Shushu saw this late and hurriedly asked Shangguan Evil.
"It's nothing unusual, it doesn't hurt or itch" Shangguan Xie felt it carefully and felt that there was nothing unusual.
"But I look like I'm poisoned?" Shushu urged at night, "Quick, go and find Miss Mo to see, why are you stunned here?" ”
Originally, when Shangguan Xie went up to get the book just now, everyone paid attention to this, but it seemed to be just a Buddhist scripture, so they didn't care too much, some found a place to close their eyes and recuperate, and some looked around.
Qingxue found a place to sit cross-legged, while calming down, while looking at the stone sword in Manjushri's left hand, she couldn't figure it out, she always felt that the stone sword was strange.
When Shangguan Xie and Shushu came over, they saw that she was looking at the stone sword for a moment, and they didn't bother to bother, so Shushu Wan hurriedly said, "Miss Mo, can you please help me to see if his hands are poisoned?" ”
Qingxue was startled, and then she realized that someone was calling her, and asked a little stunned, "What's wrong?" ”
"Could you please help me see, what's going on with his hands?" Shushu said it patiently again in the evening, and pushed Shangguan Xie to the front.
Qingxue took out a handkerchief and put it on it, looked carefully at Shangguan Xie's hands, frowned and asked, "Have you ever touched anything special?" ”
"No, it's, it's that book" Although Shangguan Xie couldn't see the look on Qingxue's face, just looking at her frowning brows, he knew that it was not good, and replied nervously.
"Books? What book? "Qingxue has been paying attention to that sword, and she didn't pay too much attention to what happened just now.
"That's the one" Shangguan Xie pointed to Master Kong's side, "It's the one Master Kong is holding in his hand, I took it from the Buddha statue with curiosity for a while."
Qingxue looked over there, and saw that the black gas on her empty hand had spread into her sleeves, which was much more serious than Shangguan Xie's side, "You wait a minute, I'll go and see the master's side, his hand seems to be more serious than yours."
Qingxue walked straight to Sora and called him, but Sora didn't respond. Shushu Wan and Shangguan Xie, who came after Qingxue, also stepped forward to call him, but there was no response. Qingxue couldn't, so she had to use a silk scarf to pad it, and directly stepped forward and grabbed his left hand to observe.
Startled, he realized the strangeness of his hands, and his face changed slightly, "How can this be?" ”
Qingxue said apologetically, "Your black qi has spread to your arms. Master, offended, I'm going to cut your skin for blood"
"It's okay, Miss Mo, you can do it."
"Okay, that Qingxue is offended" After speaking, he took out the dagger, held the empty left wrist through the handkerchief with one hand, and cut the skin on the arm with the dagger with the other. Out of nowhere, he took out a small bowl and filled it with empty blood, which was also black.
Picked up the small bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, he felt a fishy smell, Qingxue nodded, "It seems that it is really poisoned, and this poison is quite fierce, I will first seal the acupoint with a silver needle for you to stop the spread of poison"
"Okay" nodded empty, but he didn't show panic, he deserved to be a person who had seen the world.
