Chapter 66: The Son of Yama
Actually, even I don't believe the explanation I am saying at this moment, but since the Chunting transmission is secret and I deliberately conceal it, then I can only make up an explanation that sounds roughly reasonable in a hurry.
But to my surprise, after hearing my explanation, Shen Lang thought about it and seemed to really believe the explanation I came up with in a hurry.
Seeing Shen Lang's thoughtful appearance, I hurriedly sorted out my thoughts, endured the guilt of Shen Lang's deception, and continued to add to him while the iron was hot.
"Shen Lang, think about it, Juekong has already said just now that these ten hall Yama statues can only allow everyone to enter an illusion at most, for this unique opportunity, he is naturally worried that we will have something wrong, so what he just hid from us is actually understandable."
Perhaps out of trust in me, Shen Lang really believed my flawed explanation, only to see him nod slightly, as if he had sorted out the reason for the matter, and no longer continued to question.
Seeing Shen Lang's current appearance, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly looked at the Spring Pavilion again, although I seemed calm at the moment, but in my mind it was already like a speeding speed.
There is no doubt that when I returned to reality from the illusion just now, I knew when I saw Chunting's reaction that Chunting must have known something about what Juekong had done, so he didn't stop it in the first place.
And although Shen Lang deliberately lowered his voice when he asked me a question just now, this group of people was not ordinary people, so naturally everyone heard the conversation between me and Shen Lang.
That is to say, the reason why Chunting asked me to make up a reasonable explanation was not necessarily to deliberately hide it from Shen Lang, but to hide it from all those who heard this exchange.
It is for this reason that Chunting will signal to me, and its purpose is to make everyone less curious about this matter through my mouth.
Not only that, but after hearing the secret transmission from Chunting Fangcai, I suddenly had a bold guess.
That's what Juekong did just now, Chunting is not just knowing, and I even have reason to suspect that the reason why Juekong has hidden the truth from us is very likely to be secretly instructed by Chunting.
Although it sounds a little unbelievable, only such speculation can reasonably explain Chunting's obviously abnormal behavior at the moment.
But what is this for, why would Chunting do such an incomprehensible thing?
Our group can be regarded as friends in life and death, and we should have been close to each other before, and there are no secrets to speak of.
But Chunting's actions now are clearly telling me that he has already taken precautions against everyone in his heart.
Could it be that Chunting has made any new discoveries?
Before I knew it, I felt like I was sinking deeper into a state of confusion.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we can move on."
Just as I racked my brains to guess Chunting's thoughts, Juekong watched us speak slowly, and there was already a meaning between the words to let us move on.
"These ten statues of Yama are actually just signposts for the ten cities, but because this statue is made of ice stones, the poor monk thought of using this thing to let the benefactors know the past, know right from wrong, and increase the resistance to the demons."
"And since all the benefactors have now entered into the hallucination, and have recounted their own life experiences in the hallucination, the purpose of the poor monk has been achieved, and there is no need for us to stay here any longer."
It can be seen that Shen Lang didn't have too many doubts about the reason I made up in a hurry just now, and after hearing Juekong's words, he immediately put the question just now behind him, and looked at Juekong with interest and asked.
"Master Juekong, then which passage should we choose, and how did these ten hall Yama statues stand here as signposts?"
"As you already know, there are ten cities in this secluded capital, and these ten Yama statues are said to have been cast by the ancestral dragon's order, and each Yama statue refers to the specific location of one of the cities."
Shen Lang's appearance at this time was really like a child who was eager to know everything, Juekong couldn't help but smile knowing when he saw this, only to see him wave his hand to signal Shen Lang not to be in a hurry, and then explained it seriously.
"As for which city each Yama statue refers to, in fact, the answer lies in the text on the back of the statue, but the donors don't know it."
Hearing Juekong's explanation, everyone looked at each other, their faces full of helplessness.
As early as when we first saw these ten statues of Yama, we had already discovered that on the backs of these ten statues, there was a strange shape of writing.
However, after some observation, no one could recognize the true meaning of this text, and even the most well-informed Chunting did not express his opinion on it.
It is precisely because we do not recognize these strange words that everyone will turn their attention to the appearance of the statue, and will unconsciously fall into that inexplicable hallucination.
And Juekong had just explained to us, he said that these ten characters are actually not the words used in the past dynasties of Shenzhou, but the words used in the netherworld, since none of us have ever been to the legendary netherworld, then we will naturally not know a word about it.
Therefore, although we know that these ten words are the signposts that point to these ten cities, we still have no choice but to look at Xiang Juekong with helpless eyes, waiting for him to reveal the final answer for us.
As we became more familiar with each other, the emptiness of the present day is no longer what it was when we first met us.
By now, Juekong's gestures are becoming more and more like Chunting, especially in the face of our doubts, he is no longer as outspoken as he was at the beginning, but has played dumb riddles with us.
"Amitabha, I don't know that in the cognition of the donors, the most well-known Yama in these ten halls of Yama should be which Yama?"
"Although everyone in the world knows that the Ten Halls of Yama are one, in fact, most people can't accurately say the specific names of these ten Yamas, at most they only know one or two of them."
After hearing Juekong's inquiry, Shen Lang fell into serious thinking, and seemed to want to speed up our progress, so before Shen Lang could give an answer, Xue Nan on the side replied directly.
"And when it comes to the degree of well-knownness, the one at the top of the list is undoubtedly the legendary Yama Heavenly Son."
