Chapter 59: Yama Statue
After the exchange just now, Juekong seemed to have unloaded some thoughts, and his expression was obviously much more relaxed than before.
We were a little curious, but no one asked.
Because we also know in our hearts that the reason why Juekong's expression has changed so much should be related to the fate of his vein, he has been backlogged in his heart for many years, and today he finally got a channel to vent, so he will naturally vent the depression in his heart to a certain extent.
Therefore, everyone did not ask about this matter, but honestly followed the pace of Juekong, because we had already made a choice, so in the process of marching everyone was unusually quiet, for a while, only the sound of footsteps could be heard in the ears, other than that, there was no sound.
Because our goal was not this Nine Shadow City, we naturally didn't need to stay too long, and Juekong, who was familiar with the route, led the way, so we quickly passed through this Nine Shadow City.
And just after we left the Nine Ghost City, in the eyes of everyone, we saw the first fork in the road.
Forks in the road in the normal population generally point to only two or three roads, but the forks in the road that appear in our eyes today are very different from the forks in the general sense.
Because, the fork in the road that appears in our eyes today actually points in nine directions.
Each of these nine passages has a statue, and at the same time, there is also a statue next to us.
After careful identification, it is not difficult to find that these ten statues are all human figures, and on the backs of these ten statues, there is a strange text engraved on them.
After some observation, everyone could only reluctantly admit that no one could read the text on the back of the statue, so we had to look at the shape of the statue again.
The first statue depicts a man with leopard-like eyes, a lion-like nose, a long beard, a crown on his head, and a wat on his chest with his right hand.
The second statue depicts a man with a short face, but a slightly wider mouth than an ordinary person, a crown on his head, a plain robe, and a wat on his chest, but with a left hand.
The third statue does not seem to have any overly obvious features, but the man is glaring with angry eyes, holding his hands in front of his chest, as if he is angry.
At the fourth statue, the person carved on it, though not as angry as the previous statue, seemed to have the same discontented expression, frowning and glaring, with long manes in his ears, holding a wat in his right hand and a rosary in his left hand in front of his knee.
The fifth statue has a white face, wearing a crown on his head, hanging incense bags on both sides to protect his ears, wearing a ruffled lapel and wide-sleeved robe, boots on both feet, holding a wat in front of his chest, sitting upright, his expression full of indescribable majesty.
The sixth statue has its eyebrows up, its face full of murderous intent, a tiger's head and a golden helmet, a pair of chain armor, a girdle, riding boots, and hands arched in front of its chest, looking like a warrior about to go to battle.
The seventh statue is a change from the previous heroic, with a collapsed nose and a concave face, but it is not embarrassed, wearing a square crown on its head, and its hands are shrunk in its arms, and it also holds a wat at .
The eighth statue is the image of an old man with a long mane on his face, a square crown on his head, a robe, and his hands in his sleeves, not holding a wat but holding a flute board in his arms.
……
I was sure I hadn't seen these 10 statues before, but for some reason, the more I looked at them, the more I felt that they looked a little familiar. Pen in Chinese
"Brother Chuan, why do these ten statues look so familiar, they don't seem to be different from the statues I saw at the temple fair before."
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Hearing what Shen Lang said, I finally knew where that inexplicable sense of familiarity came from.
It's true that I haven't seen these ten statues, but I do
Because these ten statues are carved with the legendary Ten Palaces of Yama!
Speaking of this, Juekong's emotions slowly converged, and he turned to look at us, with a faint expectation in his eyes.
"If we want to accomplish our purpose and break the fretting shackles of fate in this vein, then we must complete the plan arranged by Guiguzi's predecessors, and now it seems that the hope of completing this plan is now falling on the benefactors."
"Therefore, no matter what choice your donors will make and what kind of place you will go, I will never hesitate, because I know that only if you can succeed, then the descendants of my lineage can be truly free."
Unconsciously, Juekong no longer calls himself a poor monk, but calls himself by the word I as an ordinary person, and from this small change, it is not difficult for us to see his emotional excitement at this time.
"Master Juekong, we understand."
Since Juekong is so honest with us, then naturally we will not fail to respond to what he said, and after seeing Juekong's expectant gaze, I couldn't help but take a step forward and make a serious commitment to Juekong.
"Although we can't guarantee that we are the legendary people of chance, and we dare not easily promise that we will be able to break the fate of your vein since ancient times, we can guarantee that we will do our best to ensure the success of this plan."
"Amitabha, the donor doesn't need to make any guarantees to the poor monk at all, in fact, the poor monk is in love."
After hearing my answer, Juekong's emotions gradually calmed down, but now he didn't look like a monk at all, only to see Juekong arch his hand to me quite emotionally, and he couldn't help but feel a little weird.
"As the so-called intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows, the donor should also know that sometimes, if you want to complete something, you may not necessarily get the results you want."
"However, if you relax and don't think about your ultimate goal for the time being, as long as you take every step with your heart and go with the flow, you may one day get unexpected gains."
After speaking, Juekong didn't give us much time to think about the meaning of his words, he turned his back to us again, and at the same time took a solemn outward step under his feet.
"I believe that all the donors have already understood the possible dangers in the Black Rock City, so the poor monk will not repeat it too much, since the choice has been made, then please follow the steps of the poor monk, and we will go to the mysterious Black Stone City."
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at each other, and no one spoke, but only gave each other a look of encouragement.
And although Juekong didn't look back, he seemed to have a clear idea of what we were thinking in each other's hearts, so even though none of us responded to him, he still took his own steps resolutely.
