Chapter 45: The Atonement
Although he was scalded by hot water, the old monk's expression never fluctuated at all, as if there was no pain.
"Zhiyuan old thief, I'm not joking with you, if something really happens to my daughter, believe it or not, tear down your broken temple?" Nan Ting's eyes widened, with a desperate posture.
Listening to Nan Ting's roar, Master Zhiyuan finally raised his eyelids, reached out and grabbed the boiling kettle, and rushed into the teapot, his movements were skillful and natural.
"Okay, with your character, if you really think it's serious, you won't come to me."
Nan Ting's angry expression froze, and then he sat down dejectedly.
"Sure enough, the ancient temples in the deep mountains are easy to practice, and several of the great magical powers of the Buddhist family are probably all cultivated by you, right?" A hint of complexity flashed in Nan Ting's eyes.
"Divine powers are just branches and leaves in cultivation, so there is no need to care too much." Master Zhiyuan said lightly.
"Okay, then I'll tell you another thing, they found it, you say what to do." Nan Ting drank all the tea in the cup and said directly.
Master Zhiyuan's movements froze, and then returned to normal, but the teacup in front of him rippled in circles.
"When you had to bring things out, you should have thought that there would be such a day." Master Zhiyuan raised his head, looked at Nan Ting and said seriously.
"Can I be blamed for this? If I didn't bring that thing out, it would be better for me to die, and I would have no choice. Nan Ting couldn't help but retort.
"He is the cause of the day, the effect of the day, if you are really worried, just give them something." Master Zhiyuan said.
"To put it lightly, it's about ......" Nan Ting was obviously taboo about something, and forcibly suppressed the words when they came to his mouth.
"Anyway, the matter started because of you, you have to solve it, and, don't blame me for not reminding you, this time I found a kid who came to the door, even I can't see through it, it's very evil, I have a hunch, he will definitely come to you, when the time comes, you be careful, don't show your feet." Nan Ting continued.
"Sin." Master Zhiyuan folded his hands and his face was full of compassion for the heavens.
"Okay, no one blames you, that is, you can't get out by yourself, you have to hide here to atone for your sins, hurry up and open the Buddha beads for me, my wife and daughter are still waiting for me to go home for dinner." Nan Ting impatiently took out the string of Buddhist beads.
Master Zhiyuan stretched out his hand to take it, put his hands in his palms, closed his eyes, and began to recite the scriptures.
Nan Ting, who was originally impatient, calmed down all of a sudden, and didn't make a sound, just waited quietly.
It took half an hour for Master Zhiyuan to open his eyes and put the Buddha beads on the table.
It's just that compared to before, the Buddha beads can't see any changes.
At this time, a leaf fell on the top of the head, which was originally irregular, but when it reached the top of the Buddha beads, it suddenly stopped, and then swirled down, which was the central position of the Buddha beads.
"This person, he still can't be too good, otherwise having a girl will be different." Nan Ting grabbed the Buddha beads, put them in his pocket, and didn't mention the opening fee, Shi Shiran got up and left.
Master Zhiyuan's originally calm expression froze.
When Nan Ting left, Master Zhiyuan reached out and picked up the leaf that fell on the table, and because of the angle, the sleeves of the wide monk's robe were also lifted up, revealing an arm full of red hair.
On the other side, after Su Heng and the others replenished their energy, they set off again.
Out of the canyon, the fog dissipated at once, revealing the true face of the deep mountains, the beauty is breathtaking, but it is a pity that this beauty is destined to belong to a very small number of people.
However, Su Heng did not relax at all, because not far away, a river happened to block their way.
If he remembered correctly, Tian Lao's father had written in his diary about a river full of dangers, and it was very likely that it was the one in front of him.
Although the road ahead may be wrong, at least when they get here, they can basically get on the right track, and maybe it won't be long before they can find the so-called ruins of Nanting, which is also the place where the horrors happened back then.
"Captain, this should be the river, right?" Gao Xiaojun also read the notebook, so when he saw the river, he immediately thought of it.
"Hmm."
Su Heng nodded and came to the river to take a look.
The river is not very wide, only seven or eight meters, there is no source in sight, there is no place to go, the river is full of strange rocks, and there are no plants on the beach.
This river alone was not enough to stop Su Heng's footsteps, and even he could jump over it completely, but it was limited to him, and the rest of the people couldn't do it.
"It's so deep." Gao Xiaojun also came to Su Heng's side, and threw a stone inside, waiting until a series of slightly turbid bubbles rose, and then he was speechless.
Originally, I thought it would be two or three meters at most, but in fact, it was far more than that.
He could have swam across a normal river, but the problem was, according to the notebook, that it was dangerous.
"Do you want to go into the water?"
Han Wen estimated the distance and felt that it was unrealistic to want to jump over.
"I said Lao Han, you can give it a try, but there are monsters in this river, and they will be dragged away when the time comes, don't blame me for not reminding you." Gao Xiaojun said directly.
"What monster?" Han Wen was startled and asked.
"How do I know?" Gao Xiaojun rolled his eyes, he hadn't gone down again, how could he know what monsters there were?
Han Wen angrily wanted to kick Gao Xiaojun down, but fortunately, his years of self-cultivation prevented him from making such a low-level move.
"Captain, look over there, it should be the previous exploration team used to cross the river." Tang Jiu Ge pointed not far away, only to see that there was a thick wooden bowl there, the length of which was just over the width of the river.
It is estimated that after the exploration team ran out, it deliberately pulled to the other side, so that even if someone followed, it would not be able to use the log to cross the river, which shows that it was cautious.
Originally, Su Heng still wanted to cut down the tree and put it on the river, but with this log, it also saved a lot of time.
I saw him take two steps back slightly, and then jumped hard, and the whole person took off directly.
Next to him, Han Wen opened his mouth wide in surprise, this height, this width, it is estimated that if you go to the Olympics, you can easily get a championship back, right?
However, Tang Jiuge and Gao Xiaojun looked as a matter of course, if they couldn't even jump over this width, why should they be the captains of the trick team and let them worship them so much?
After Su Heng landed easily, he quickly carried the log over and found a suitable place to stand it.
Then, Tang Jiuge and the others began to step on the wood and carefully cross the river.
Su Heng held the dagger and stared at the river, and even the eyes of reincarnation were in a state of opening at any time.
Tang Jiuge and Han Wen crossed the river very smoothly, and when it was Gao Xiaojun's turn in the end, his face was relaxed, this single-plank bridge was too pediatric for him.
But when he reached the middle of the river, his expression changed suddenly.
At the same time, Su Heng took a step forward with a dagger and fell into the water.
