Chapter 17: Not Like a Human
Yu Mo didn't tell that story before, firstly, because he was not sure of the credibility of that story, and secondly, because this story was really weird, and telling it would inevitably make everyone even more uneasy.
Seeing that they were going to continue moving forward this time, Yu Mo had to say it.
There was a patch of grass at his feet, Yan Luo put down his bag, spread it on the ground with a piece of cloth, sat down, and put on an expression that he was willing to hear about it.
In front of her, there is the bottomless Grand Canyon, and behind her, there is a dead end that can never be walked out, and it seems that there is nothing worse than now.
Just listen to a story.
At this moment, no matter how serious and unusual Yu Mo's expression was compared to before, Yan Luo didn't have that nervousness.
Perhaps, there is nothing more terrifying than being in a no-man's land, where everyone around you has their own secrets, and only you are normal, right?
Once the emotions just now eased down, Yan Luo became calmer.
"Do you remember the monk in the deserted temple?" Yu Mo asked suddenly.
I don't know why, when he heard the monk, Yan Luo noticed that Jiang Yan's face changed.
Yu Mo didn't ask this question to wait for them to answer, but just to remind them that this story was still related to that high monk.
"In the days of living in the temple, at the beginning, there was not much incense, and the temple was deserted, with only one old monk."
"That high monk - he was not a high monk at that time, it should be called Xu Ruyi." Yu Mo thought of the jade pendant, and thought that there would be items related to the love between men and women in the room of the temple, and it was most likely the monk's: "When he first fled to the mountain, the old monk saw that he was panicked and discouraged, so he didn't ask anything, and went to the well to fetch a basin of water and let him wash his face. ”
Xu Ruyi's whole expression was blank, and it wasn't until the old monk wrung the towel and handed it to him that some emotions appeared in his eyes.
"With the kindness of the old monk, Xu Ruyi stayed."
"The old monk could have barely survived on the gruel exchanged for meager incense, but after Xu Ruyi came, the bowl of gruel was not enough. The old monk would rather be hungry himself, but also give Xu Ruyi an extra spoonful. ”
"Xu Ruyi decided to go down the mountain to change fate."
"He was born with a beautiful appearance, and he looked like a fool, and even the old monks said that he had Buddha roots. Naturally, it is not difficult to turn into a relationship. ”
"He can have a full meal with the old monk. The old monk taught him to read the scriptures and teach him peace of mind, and he also stayed in the temple honestly, as if he had forgotten the past. ”
"Three years later, that little official was promoted to the magistrate, and he wanted to pass through the foot of the mountain, and he made a temporary move to go up the mountain to worship."
"Xinzhi County was proud of the spring breeze, hugged the beauty, and was carried up the mountain by a sedan chair, and happened to collide with Xu Ruyi head-on."
"Chen Yimei can make Xu Ruyi so desperate, it is indeed full of fatal attraction to men, and she is a stunner who seduces people."
"In the past three years, I have been favored, and there is a faint momentum to compare the main room, and at this moment, she is standing next to Xinzhi County with the main room left and right, but she obviously sticks her body to Xinzhi County, leaving the main room next to her, and her demeanor still shows the rules that the main room should have, but her face is very ugly."
Chen Yimei saw Xu Ruyi, no one knew what she thought in her heart, was she guilty? Or disdain? ”
"Nobody knows. I just heard that when Xinzhi County ordered to catch Xu Ruyi, Chen Yimei suddenly hit her foot, and an exclamation interrupted Xinzhi County's unfinished order, giving Xu Ruyi a chance to escape. ”
"It's really a foot that has hit it, and it's red and swollen. Chen Yimei was picked up by Xinzhi County, wrapped her hands around Xinzhi County's neck and coquettishly, and when Xu Ruyi was caught, he must be divided into five horses and thrown into a mass grave. ”
"I don't know if Xu Ruyi heard this sentence when he ran away."
When Xu Ruyi came back again, it was a year later that he climbed up from a canyon that was bottomless, like a crack leading to hell. Some villagers went to the canyon to see, but there was no road, and it was impossible to climb up with manpower alone. ”
"So, there are rumors that Xu Ruyi has become a devil, from hell, and this time he returned to the world to take revenge."
As soon as Xu Ruyi returned to the temple, the monk who had treated him well had been tortured to death. There are spies from Xinzhi County who have been waiting here in the temple, and when they saw Xu Ruyi appearing, they immediately reported to Xinzhi County. ”
"Xinzhi County has been arrested again with people."
"This time, Xu Ruyi did not escape, he stood at the door of the temple, waiting for the magistrate."
"No one knows what's going on on the mountain, because the magistrate and everyone he brought with him are crazy. When the magistrate returned to the government, he kept crying about his crimes, and was finally imprisoned in a dungeon and executed. ”
"I heard that the crime was so heinous that it was dismembered by five horses and thrown into a mass grave."
"A few months later, there was a bold man, desperate, who came to the mountain to seek Buddha."
"It worked."
"After that, someone went up the mountain to make a wish, and the wish came true."
"It is said that as long as the wish does not hurt nature and reason, it is not too outrageous, and it can basically be realized. What these little people want is nothing more than a few more money, or an early birth of a precious son or something like that. No one has much ambition, and naturally they will not come to seek Buddha if they want to harm others, and naturally most people's wishes have come true. ”
"Slowly, one by one, the fame of the temple became bigger and bigger, and the radius of a hundred miles was known. Xu Ruyi also became a monk. ”
"He carved a statue of Buddha in the likeness of an old monk and placed it in the center of the temple."
"Xu Ruyi thinks that the old monk didn't repay him anything during his lifetime, so let him receive more incense."
"Xu Ruyi also accepted a few disciples, and those disciples were very strange, not like people who were going to the Buddha."
"Occasionally, the disciples would be seen climbing up that ravine, and no one knew how they did it."
"It wasn't until later that someone noticed something was wrong."
"Those who have made wishes are starting to become different from what they used to behave incorrectly."
"They still have the same face, the same interests, and even the tone of their voices, but in some places, they are all weird."
"For example, there is an aunt Zhang, she hopes to have a son, but after the birth of her son, she ignores him."
"One night, his son was snatched away by a weasel."
"I didn't see her sad, his husband was grief-stricken, his emotions were out of control, and he angrily reprimanded her."
"Every night after that, when his husband woke up, he would see her standing by the bed staring at him motionlessly, and she didn't pay attention to what her husband called her, and that look was creepy."
"It's not like a man, it's like some kind of beast."
