The scene was a mess, all the monks fell into a coma, and thousands of people were lying on the ground, crimson monks' robes were joined together.

I was the only one standing in the huge courtyard, with snow-capped mountains and misty fog in the distance...... The entire temple seemed to be shrouded in a malicious curse, exuding an unspeakable demonic aura.

What to do? My mind was full of confusion, this scene was unexpected.

I felt at a loss, my body couldn't help but tremble, the burned firewood turned into something like black charcoal, and under the wind, the wreckage turned into a huge black grimace, and the corners of my mouth seemed to be still smiling.

I took a step back, feeling dizzy, and just as I was about to lie down, a hand held me. This arm is extremely powerful and gives me a sense of security at critical moments.

I looked back, Li Qiangmin was standing behind me, his tall body was reflected in the sun, I don't know what was going on, my heart quickly settled down, as if I had a backbone.

"What's going on?" Li Qiangmin asked.

I calmed my mind and described what had happened since he left.

"Lao Li, don't you think this thing is strange?" I said, "The villagers were infected by demons, and the solution given by the temple was cremation and excess, and now this body is also cremated, and there are such serious consequences." ”

Li Qiangmin thought for a while and said: "A corpse is not the same as a corpse, this corpse may be very special." There's a concept called 'Patient Zero', have you ever heard of it? ”

I shook my head.

Li Qiangmin said: "To put it simply, the first person who was infected was called 'Patient Zero', and I suspect that the deceased Banai was." He was the first person to be possessed by a demon, and the corpse is always a little different after death. Master Sanglu had already discovered the clue and told him not to burn the corpse, but these monks did it anyway. ”

"By the way, why are you back again?" I asked.

Li Qiangmin walked to the pile of firewood burned to soot, and I followed.

He was getting closer and closer, and I was about to step forward, when he waved his hand not to come closer. He crouched in front of the firewood pile to check, rummaging through the black ash on the ground with his hands.

"I did go back," he said, "and I couldn't settle down and was upset." Then I figured out one thing......"

He picked up a black piece of firewood and shone it into the sun, and said: "I found that there is no escape from fate, whether I leave here or not, whether I escape from confronting Li Damin, I am in the midst of fate." Then, I made a decision. ”

He tossed the piece aside and walked into the center of the black charcoal "grimace", continuing to rummage through the ground.

"The decision is," he said, "that since I can't avoid it, I'm going to declare war on fate." Fate showed me and Li Damin that we could only live one, and I suddenly figured out that the best way to break this fate was to save Li Damin, and he and I were both alive. ”

I listened in the back with my mouth wide open, what the hell? Li Qiangmin's goal has changed, at first he wanted to kill Li Damin, or imprison him for life to take away his luck, but now the goal is to save Li Damin, and the two are alive together.

The purpose of this is to break the mural proverb of thousands of years ago.

I don't understand what he does, and I don't think it's necessary, for the sake of such an illusory fate, to do all kinds of abnormal things, just to break the fate in it.

But this is his choice, and we can't say anything.

Maybe I haven't cultivated to his level, and naturally I can't understand his state of mind.

Li Qiangmin suddenly said: "Lin Cong, I found something. ”

He walked out of the charcoal fire, holding something in his hand, and the first time I saw it I was covered in sweat and hair, it was a human bone that had not been burned clean, and it was black. And he took it and looked it in the sun, and then he pointed to one of them and said to me, "Look what this is."

Under the sun, there seemed to be something attached to the bones, I rubbed my eyes and looked closely, those things were not big, that is, the size of a snail, like black spots growing on the bones, these black spots showed a very strange shape, it looked like a grimace, with a nose, eyes and a mouth.

"What's, what is this?" My heart chills.

Li Qiangmin blew and didn't blow them off, and then began to wipe them with his hands, no matter how he wiped them, these grimace spots couldn't be wiped off.

He was thoughtful.

"Could it be a legendary demon?" I asked.

Li Qiangmin nodded: "There will be no such thing in a normal corpse, it is likely that some kind of substance has invaded the corpse all the way to the bones." ”

A question suddenly occurred to me, "Could it be that the legendary demon is some kind of virus?" ”

The reason why I had this idea was because I thought of the murals in the cave of the scriptures, which depicted the demon turned into countless black fragments, each of which was a doppelganger of the demon, which, if defined in modern scientific language, resembled a depiction of a virus.

The so-called possession of a demon is actually infected by a virus.

It can now be determined that this thing is capable of eroding the flesh, burrowing all the way in, attaching to the surface of the bones, forming some kind of grimace spots.

Li Qiangmin and I were talking, and suddenly we heard a loud roar not far away, we followed the sound and looked over, and a person stumbled from a high place, it was Gatso.

Gyatso had been down the mountain all night to find me, and he had injuries on his body and face, so I left him in the village to rest, and I walked first to the temple.

After such a long time, so many things happened in the middle, he almost forgot about it, and he only remembered it when he ran over.

"Gatso." I shouted his name.

Gyatso stumbled over, looking at the unconscious monk everywhere, the whole person was about to collapse, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", trembling all over, crying loudly. After shouting for a while, he began to chant and kowtow, and his head hit the ground, and blood came out of the top of his head.

I hurried over to stop him, but Li Qiangmin grabbed me, shook his head, and signaled not to disturb.

Gyatso kowtowed, his face covered in blood, and he staggered to his feet, and he grabbed me and asked me what was going on.

I told the whole story, and Gyatso's throat moved, and he suddenly looked at me and knelt on the ground with a "poof".

I hurriedly hugged him, "What are you doing?" ”

"Lin Cong," he cried, "please accompany me to the Demon Cave!" ”

He began to kowtow. I pulled him up, "You make it clear." ”

"To save these people in the temple, you must find the demon and destroy it!" Gyatso cried and said, "You are the chosen one, a warrior who slays demons, I beg you, please come with me!" ”

"Go, definitely going to go." Li Qiangmin came over and said.

"You!" It was then that Gatso noticed him.

He didn't ask why Li Qiangmin came, but said anxiously: "The situation is critical now, we have to leave now, and we must come back within three days, otherwise the whole temple will worry about their lives." ”

I asked if the place was far away.

Gyatso told me that the place was in the back mountain, and it was a cave for monks in the past, and it was about half a day's trip.

Looking at the unconscious monks all over the ground, I knew that the situation was urgent, so I said, hurry up and go.

Gyatso was still carrying my hiking bag, and before leaving, he simply took some equipment and food and drink in the monastery, and the three of us set off.

We followed Gyatso down the back mountain, and no one said anything on the way, and in the afternoon we arrived at the cave.

Gyatso told us about the origin of the cave. The monks of Tibetan Buddhism generally have a tradition of cave cultivation, which is relatively strict in the early days, and the practitioner enters the cave, and then the entrance of the cave must be closed, leaving only a small mouth for food and water, and the practitioner meditates in the cave to practice Buddhism, and does not interact with the outside world, which is similar to the practice of other sects in the Central Plains, which is called retreat. Sometimes it's days, sometimes it's days, it's weeks, sometimes it's years.

Gyatso told me that a martial arts star once came to their mountain monastery a few years ago and went into retreat under the guidance of his guru for three years. He also disappeared from the public eye for those three years and only recently appeared.

When he reappeared, he had been reborn and looked like an old dragon.

Nowadays very few people practice in caves, and temples have special practice rooms, and of course, if there is a special need, or if the teacher feels it is necessary, he still has to go to the cave.

The place where Li Damin and Banai went was the cultivation cave, and they went deep in the cave until they went underground, where they entered the spirit world and brought back demons.

"There's a question I'm confused about." I said to Gatso, "The demon town is in the mountains, and it has been for thousands of years, so why should a cultivation cave be set up in such a dangerous place?" ”

Gyatso sighed and said, "It's because there are demons in the mountains that this place is set up as a cultivation cave. There are two advantages to practicing in the cave, the first is that you can more or less feel the interference of demons when you practice here, and in the process of cultivation, you can practice by fighting against the spiritual invasion of demons, and you can improve rapidly. ”

Li Qiangmin nodded: "It makes sense, it is equivalent to being next to the virus and slowly producing antibodies." This is similar to entering into delusional cultivation and cultivating in vain. ”

"The second advantage is," Gyatso said, "that you can gather the wishes of all the monks and become a dharma realm that guards demons." Every monk who practices here, their wishes, whether large or small, have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been condensed together to form a huge enchantment circle. ”
