When he came to the crowd, he circled inside and out, and Bai Zhengxi stood on the outermost side, and he couldn't see anything inside. I thought about leaving, I didn't have the leisure to know this, I thought so in my heart, but the behavior was just the opposite, desperately squeezing in. The onlookers were all people nearby, most of them knew each other, and when they saw Bai Zhengxi, an activist who criticized the fight, they all took the initiative to get out of the way, and everyone was afraid of being targeted by him.

Soon squeezed into the center, I saw a person lying on his side on the ground, his whole body was filthy and emitting a foul smell, the person was motionless, he should have died, from Bai Zhengxi's angle, he just looked at his face clearly. However, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, it was enough for Bai Zhengxi to be shocked, the clothes on the person on the ground were too familiar, even if they were full of filth, he still immediately recognized the same as the old man was wearing, even if the clothes were the same, they could be worn with the same width on the body, the same pants, and the same hat he wore, and the chance of this coincidence was basically zero. Could it be that the people on the earth are the old men they seek?

Bai Zhengxi tried to tell himself not to think about it, how could the old man leave so well that it could immediately become like this, the filth on his clothes was accumulated over a long period of time at a glance, and the clothes worn by the old man were very clean and immediately polluted, and it was impossible to reach this level. The chaotic heart can't be calmed for a long time, no matter what, you have to see what happens, squatting down, trying to turn the person over, and seeing the face clearly, you can determine whether it is an old man. I was really nervous, my hands were shaking all the time, and I was really afraid that it was the old man, and when I flipped the person over, I subconsciously closed my eyes and didn't dare to look at it.

"Kiko, are you alright?"

"It's crazy, I don't even spare the dead."

The surrounding voices came and went, which made Bai Zhengxi's heart even more chaotic, he didn't refute or roar like he did with the day, he opened his eyes "calmly", the appearance of the person in front of him was exactly the same as the old man, Bai Zhengxi could be sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person. How so? Bai Zhengxi kept asking in his heart, why did the person die just now, and it looks like he has wanted to die for a long time, and he can smell the smell of corpses when he gets close.

"People have been dead for two days, it seems to be the great monk of the White Horse Temple, Xizi, you will accumulate some yin virtue, don't get other people's corpses." The onlookers next to him were "kind" and couldn't help but "beg" Bai Zhengxi. It's just that how do you really accumulate yin virtue, why are people dead for two days, they are still in place, and no one cares? Just because the other party is a monk and a cow, a ghost, a snake and a god, do you have to avoid it?

Bai Zhengxi heard the other party's words, his mind exploded, his heart was shattered, broken into countless pieces, Bai Zhengxi didn't care whether the other party really had a good heart, but the other party said that the White Horse Temple, the monk, has been dead for two days, every word, confirmed the identity of the old man, and at the same time brought Bai Zhengxi into the weirdness again. If the old man has been dead for two days, then who is the old man who met just now and told him the secret of the Buddha statue? Is it a ghost? Or is it another hallucination? If it's a ghost, assuming it really exists, can you see it in broad daylight? If it is a self-hallucination, I have never seen an old man before, and even a monk is rare, how can there be such a real hallucination? If such a real experience is still an illusion, then what else is true in this world?

Whether it is a ghost or a self-hallucination, at this moment, many things can find answers, such as the reason why the quilt was re-covered, such as the reason why the old man suddenly disappeared, in the face of weirdness, it is not surprising what happened. It's just that Bai Zhengxi doesn't understand why all the weird things have come to him, one after another, and he doesn't even have a chance to breathe. According to the old man, he is a destined person, but Bai Zhengxi would rather not have this kind of destined person, but why is there no choice?

"It's really a lack of morality, how did the Bai family have such a person."

"Dead people will not be spared, everyone should be careful in the future."

…… When Bai Zhengxi's thoughts were in turmoil, the surrounding discussions appeared one after another, basically accusatory, but no one really cared about the dead old man. Not to mention burying him, at least cover him with a straw mat so that he will not be exposed to the scorching sun.

"Ah......" Bai Zhengxi roared angrily, roaring at the sky, Bai Zhengxi didn't pay attention to the discussion at all, he just wanted to vent, vent the pain that others couldn't understand. It wasn't until this moment that Bai Zhengxi discovered his pathetic, always criticizing bullfighting ghosts and snake gods, when he really encountered it, he couldn't find anyone to tell him, and he could only bear it alone. Is this retribution? Since the sins are so great, why are you still destined for the Buddha? Isn't that a big joke? Is this the best interpretation of the fact that good people don't live long and disasters last for thousands of years?

Bai Zhengxi suddenly picked up the old man's body, broke through the crowd directly, and then ran towards the White Horse Temple, the old man was dead, he should be buried, whether it was inheriting the other party's ethereal inheritance, or to atone for his sins, this is the only thing Bai Zhengxi wants to do now. He doesn't care how incredible and talked about the people behind him, even if he sees him as the remnant of the bull ghost snake god and criticizes him to death, he will not hesitate to do so.

Walking on the road, I couldn't help but recall the situation of meeting the old man, and I felt the distance like the end of the world, and the ethereal voice, isn't it some kind of foreshadowing? And when the old man told the secret of the Buddha statue, the first sentence was: "I am the only one who knows the origin of the Buddha statue, I thought that no one would know it again, but from tomorrow, only you will know the secret of the Buddha statue, I hope you can do it yourself." "Didn't understand it at the time, and now think about it as the most obvious hint. There is also the reluctance of the old man when he leaves, not only for the Buddha statue, but also for the nostalgia of life!

Thinking along the way, tears couldn't stop flowing, for the unspeakable pain, for the loss of the old man's life, and for the realization in his heart, but it was too late, if he had seen through it earlier, many innocent people would not have died because of his criticism, and died in pain. In fact, before killing Li Xiong and the others, his hands were already stained with blood, but he didn't want to admit it, and he thought he was a good son of the country. Maybe this is the fault of this era, individuals in this specific environment, can only choose to give in, if they don't give in, they will be abandoned by the times, many people explain it this way, but if human nature is really full of goodwill, I believe that everything will be different, it can be said that this particular era is just to magnify and stimulate people's evil infinitely, so that people lose their nature, but after all, there is evil in nature, so they will be lost.

Finally arrived at the White Horse Temple, Bai Zhengxi kicked the door hard, perhaps because of his grief, kicked the door open, even if he began to believe that the Buddha really existed, he still broke into the door directly. Go directly to the main hall, put the old man under the mutilated Buddha statue, and then pick up the hoe from the side, and prepare to dig a pit under the main hall and bury the old man in it, so that the old man will never have to leave the White Horse Temple again, leave the place where he will still be concerned after death.

I kept digging down, and I dug to the position of the slate, which had already been broken, and some fragments had been planed, and the bottom had already been filled, and the soil had been in the soil for a long time, and I continued to dig down with manpower and a hoe, and I didn't know when I would be able to dig to the location of the secret room. At this moment, Bai Zhengxi has long been thinking about whether the secret room exists, the secret room has not been opened, and where did the Buddha statue come from, does the Buddha statue have a wall piercing technique? Bai Zhengxi knows that the more he thinks, the more doubts he has, after all, he is just an ordinary person who can't see through the mysterious existence.

Originally, I wanted to bury the old man's body in the secret room, but now I had to change my mind, the old man's body had begun to decompose, and if it was not buried, it would decompose faster. Although people are buried in the soil, they will also decay, and in the end there is a pile of white bones left, but after death, people pay attention to leaving completely, and only when they are complete can they enter the soil for peace. Bai Zhengxi will dig out a space that can accommodate the elderly at the current depth, and the depth is already about one meter, presumably the main hall will not be excavated so deep when it is repaired again in the future. He put the old man in the dirt pit, brought a basin of water, and washed his face, which would still be dirty for a while, but at least it was clean at this moment. Bai Zhengxi knelt on the side and kowtowed respectfully three times, no matter what, he is the successor and should perform the junior ceremony.

After kowtowing, Bai Zhengxi immediately filled in the soil, and buried not only the old man, but also wanted to be buried with this memory, but the memory is buried in his heart, everything he has experienced, even if he is willing to tell others, others will think he is crazy, except for the Buddha statue, there is no evidence that can prove the existence of this memory, but the Buddha statue, Bai Zhengxi will not let anyone know its existence, unless his future inheritor, do not know that from that moment, this idea will appear firmly in Bai Zhengxi's heart, from this point of view, become a destined person, not without reason. There are many people who only ask for it, take it for granted, but never think about what they need to give and what they must pay when others give it.

After burying the old man, Bai Zhengxi found a few broken incense sticks from the temple wing, inserted incense, and kowtowed respectfully again. Suddenly, Bai Zhengxi heard a voice, it was the sound of chanting scriptures, and there was a familiar feeling. After going through all this, I will no longer easily think that it is an illusion, close my eyes and listen carefully, maybe this is the sound of the Buddha, which can transcend the world and completely calm the mind. Listening carefully, Bai Zhengxi knew why there was a familiar feeling, when the old man was chanting prayers in front of the Buddha statue, wasn't this the voice? Maybe people are the real Buddhas, but there are too many people who wear the cloak of the so-called "Buddha", so the real "Buddha" is covered up and then disappears in the long river of history.

Bai Zhengxi didn't stay at the White Horse Temple, if he could, he didn't want to come back at all, if he could, he wouldn't have come to the White Horse Temple to spend the night, obviously he had a home, why did he have to come here, he couldn't understand what he thought at the time, maybe this was fate, and he couldn't avoid it. It's just that for the future, Bai Zhengxi was confused for the first time, the sun was shining, but he still couldn't see the road ahead.
