Chapter 22: Kowtow
Location, a galaxy in the constellation Andromeda.
It's about the same shape as the Milky Way, except it's significantly larger than the Milky Way.
This unknown galaxy contains a continent with a similar environment to Earth, and a group of people live on the continent. A group of people with extraordinary abilities, and a lot of strange lives.
Although he didn't know how to stop the quantum spaceship from the road, the spaceship could sense his desire to survive, so the spaceship stopped on the nearest planet that was most suitable for human habitation.
The spaceship landed in a place called "Sacred Mountain". The reason for this name is that it is inhabited by the most powerful human beings on this continent, and people call him "Dao Ancestor".
At this moment, the blue fall was beginning to close, and a bend of the moon leaned sideways against the thin cloud in the sky.
Unlike the moon on Earth, the light it emits is light green, giving people a sense of vitality.
Time passed little by little, about half an hour or so. The moon in the sky turned from light green to crimson, and the light emitted also lost its breath of life, giving people a feeling of burning fire.
Conglu's fingers moved slightly, and the sweat was already soaking through his spacesuit.
After that, every less than an hour, the moon in the sky would change color, and the light of each color would give people a different feeling.
From the road, I felt like a spring breeze for a while, and a blazing flame for a while. It wasn't until the purple moonlight finally stimulated his body like an electric current that he opened his eyes in a daze.
"Where is this, how am I here?" It was the voice of his heart.
There are a lot of things in his mind that are vague, which makes him seem a little confused.
"Are you awake?"
The voice seemed to come out of his head.
"Who?"
From the road, there was a sense of vigilance, looking around.
Suddenly, his heart tightened and his body shook uncontrollably.
Then he realized that he had actually flew. Without the help of any object, he flew out of thin air.
He closed his eyes tightly and didn't dare to look down, and his heart tightened. It wasn't nervousness, it was the feeling of the heart being pinched tightly by an unknown force.
After a few moments, he stopped from the road and stopped in front of an old temple.
In front of the temple stood an old man, who calmly looked at the strangely dressed young man in front of him.
The first thing he did from the road after landing was not to see if there was any danger around, but to take off his helmet and vomit on the ground in a hurry.
After vomiting, he noticed the old man in plain robe in front of him.
"You're talking to me?"
The old man nodded, and said softly, "Hmm! "Yes.
He hadn't forgotten who he was, but he had forgotten all the things that had happened in the recent past and that had broken him.
"What is this place, and how am I here?"
The old man did not answer his question.
"Come with me!"
Although the temple is old, it is quite large inside.
"Step... Trample... Step ......"
The footsteps were clear because the temple was very quiet. The flame of the oil lamp was very steady, as if the air around it was forbidden.
"Get on your knees!"
In front of the statue of the god six or seven meters high was an altar, and there was nothing on the altar except a piece of silk yellow cloth.
Although I don't know which Bodhisattva is enshrined in the temple, I won't suffer a loss if I bow down, and I kowtow to the one who is very obedient from the road.
But after he kowtowed, and just as his knees were about to leave the futon, his legs suddenly sank and he knelt down.
"Keep knocking!"
I don't know the rules here, so I had to knock two more from the road.
This time, when he stood up, he looked a little cautious, for he was afraid that he would be pressed down by an inexplicable force like he had just done. Although there is a futon cushion, the thin layer really doesn't have much effect, and the pain is necessary.
Then the old man led him into another hall, and there was also a statue of a god in the hall, similar in style to the previous statue.
"Get on your knees!"
As a college student who grew up with a modern education, he doesn't believe that there are gods in this world.
It's just that the experience just now is too bizarre, which makes him a little in awe of these fantasy things.
But there was no point in resisting, and he knelt uncontrollably with his legs.
"Kowtow!"
This time there was no resistance from the road, and if the head was pressed down so hard, it would not be able to knock out a big bag.
Continuing to the next hall, he wanted to resist "I'm not leaving, see what you can do with me!" But he didn't want to go, and his legs kept alternating without obeying.
The sky gradually brightened, and only the last of the twenty-seven statues in the temple remained.
Through the morning light, I could see the face of the last idol from the road. He unconsciously opened his mouth wide, and the statue in front of him actually looked exactly like the old man beside him.
This time he worshiped very seriously, and he was also very nervous in his heart, because he regarded the old man in front of him as a god in the temple.
"That's it! From today on, you will be the twenty-ninth generation of our religion. ”
"What?!"
From the expression of the road, it is called a rich.
When he has nothing to do, he also reads novels, in which the protagonist always has to go through a tragic life first, losing his most important family and friends. Later, the protagonist made up his mind to become stronger, so he trekked through mountains and rivers to go through many difficulties and dangers, broke through many tests, and finally became a famous gardener, responsible for sweeping the floor and fetching water, and was bullied by his senior brother by the way......
But when it was his turn, he just bowed unwillingly and became the heir of a church. And when you hear the name "state religion", and then look at the inheritance of the "twenty-ninth generation", it is obviously a very valuable identity.
While the road was still in a daze, the old man suddenly disappeared. This inevitably made him a little afraid of the idol in front of him, so he kowtowed a few more times.
"From today on, I will be your master, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me!" The voice was still coming out of his head.
Walking out of the main hall from the road, the sunlight was already spreading throughout the old temple.
"Whew! ~"Taking a deep breath, the air is exceptionally clear, making people feel that their brains have become flexible.
After walking around the old temple for a long time, he realized that there was no one in the temple.
"Goo! ......" stomach protested.
But he had rummaged through dozens of rooms, but he didn't find anything to fill his stomach.
There's no way, there's only one trick.
"Master!"
"What?"
"I'm hungry!" The voice was a little astringent.
I don't know if it's because I'm a little embarrassed to call the master for the first time, or because I can't say anything when I ask others what they want to eat.
"There's water in the well!" The old man's answer was not mocking.
"Huh?!"
Now I was a little silly from the road, "I'm talking about I'm hungry, what does this have to do with the water in the well, and I'm not thirsty." ”
"I was asking you, is there anything to eat here?"
The old man repeated impatiently, "There is water in the well." ”
I couldn't help it, so I couldn't continue to ask from the road, so I walked to the well on the side and took a sip.
Then he walked out of the temple, thinking that he could always find something to eat on the mountain, and even if he couldn't catch game, he could always find some fruit.
But when he stepped out of the temple gate, he found that there was no road outside the temple. The edge of the front yard is an abyss, and there is nothing to see to support the old temple. It was as if the old temple was suspended in the air.
I walked back from the road, but I had a puzzle in my heart, so I naturally wanted to ask.
"Master! Shouldn't you teach me something? Like how you made me fly yesterday. ”
"Realize it yourself!"
"Holy! If you don't say anything, I'm going to take something to understand. He didn't dare to say what was in his heart.
But the old man replied as if he could hear it, "There are classics in the courtyard." ”
Hearing the master's words, Conglu thought of the martial arts cheats in the novel, so he looked for it.
As soon as he thought of the famous stunt in the story, his steps became a little eager.
After about half an hour, he finally found the "Missionary Hall" where the temple used to store books.
Seeing the countless cheats in the store, don't say how excited I am from the heart of the road. But after opening a thick bundle of bamboo slips, he was not happy.
Because of the mess of words that look like earthworms, he can't read them at all.
"Master! Can you help me translate the translation? ”
"Realize it yourself!"
"Holy! Can this be comprehended? If he didn't think that the master could know what he was thinking, he would definitely scold in his heart, "You old fellow is not a psychopath." ”
Realize for yourself that it is impossible, and continue to stay here from the road for fear that you will starve to death. So he asked, "Master!" Can you send me down? ”
"You want to go down?"
Hearing the master's still calm voice, he looked forward to it, "Yes, yes." ”
But the master's answer made him desperate.
"Memorize all the books in the temple, and you can go down the mountain."
Standing in the mission hall from the road, looking at the endless bookshelves in front of him, it was as if he had been hit by something.
