Chapter 25: The Enemy of a Long Lost Visit
I reacted calmly to the injury, because I was used to being injured.
There is a cut in the head, which is normal!
But in the eyes of the old monk, this is a big deal.
It doesn't matter if I'm hurt or not, the monster under the temple can get me hurt, that's the most important thing.
Breaking my head, the old monk looked at it carefully, and his tone became more and more flustered.
This kind of emotion is not what he should have, at least he is such a ruthless person, he shouldn't be afraid of being like this.
"Town...... I can't hold it back........" the old monk muttered, "How can this be....... It's been calm for so many years....... How can that monster attack a man........ Could it be that the injury has recovered?? ”
As he spoke, the old monk seemed to remember something, grabbed my arm violently, and looked at me nervously and vigilantly.
"How did you find here?! There is a strange noise at the entrance!! Did you make it?!! ”
"Senior, I was about to tell you about this......." I smiled bitterly, "I will fall into this place, all because of those old beasts, they built a Dharma platform above the entrance, specially for live children to make sacrifices, I am here to deal with this matter......."
"They built a Dharma platform outside the entrance?!" The old monk was stunned: "What kind of Dharma platform is it?!" ”
I recalled, and then I drew a virtual picture of the ground with my fingers, roughly in the shape of a pyramid.
"The altar is made of white marble bricks, the inside is hollow, and in the inside of the altar, at the bottom, the entrance that is covered by the copper plate is the one that comes down."
"They made sacrifices on the altar....... Take a living person to sacrifice ........" the old monk muttered, as if he had thought of something, and a trace of remorse suddenly welled up in his eyes: "They have thought of another way....... I shouldn't have stuck here........ I should go out and see it often......."
Hearing the old monk's words, I couldn't help but shudder, and immediately thought of a possibility.
"You mean......." I said with a slight pause, worded, and asked the old monk tentatively: "Those old sect gentlemen, have you thought of a way to save the country?" ”
The old monk didn't pay attention to me, he still stood motionless, in a daze, and the regret in his eyes was almost condensed into substance.
"They're not stupid, they're not people who can do meaningless things, they must have figured out a way." I gritted my teeth: "The sacrifice is real, but it's not the kind of sacrifice that has no substance, those beasts should have found a way to contact the monsters underground......."
"Little donor....... You say......" The old monk patted me on the shoulder, looked at me cautiously, and asked, "Those blasphemous people shouldn't have the ability to help the monster recover from its injuries, right?" ”
I frowned and thought about it, shook my head and said, there shouldn't be.
The levels between living beings are different, the structure of the physical body, and the balance of qi are also different.
Yin and Yang magic, the doctrine of Buddhism, is just a bridge between our two creatures.
It is impossible to use the magic of the afterlife, or some special sacrificial rituals, to restore the injuries of the creatures of the primeval period........
But...... It's not really impossible....... At least the power of the future generations still has a certain effect on those of the past.
The brains are like this, and the Nine Turtle Gods are like this, and it is basically impossible to recover their injuries in one go.
But if it is only a little, partially, it is also possible........
The temple is guarded by old monks, and the people of the old religion want to come down and release the old people, which is basically the same as sending them to death.
If it weren't for this, this temple would have been breached by the people of the old religion eight lifetimes earlier.
For their own beliefs, the people of the old religion are more firm than any religious believer, and for their beliefs, not to mention doing something crazy, they are playing with their lives, and they will not hesitate at all.
The reason why people from the old religion have not come to Supo Temple for so many years can only be one point.
No matter how hard they tried, in this Supo Temple, the old monk was an invincible existence.
Even if they have a chance of winning, I think with their temperament, they will win once.
But the old monk said that they had never been here once........
I'm afraid they don't even have a chance of winning, right?
I have to say that those people in power in the old religion have brains and are calm enough to know that they can't do things that are sent to death in vain, so they simply don't take risks.
"They knew that I wouldn't go out, because most of my strength came from this seated statue of Shakyamuni....... "That's why they dared to build a Dharma platform outside........ I'll just say it's not right at this time....... I feel like the monster underneath is moving........"
"It's moving, so that's why I'm hurt?" I asked, gesturing to the wound on my head that was rapidly healing, remembering that the hallucination I had fallen into at the top of the altar was probably related to the monster under the temple.
And before I walked into the stone gate and saw the temple, I also had some hallucinations in the tunnel, and I heard the voices of many people, and the whispering sound was also brought by this monster nine times out of ten.
The old monk nodded, his expression becoming more and more solemn: "The power of that monster is not something we can imagine, if it really escapes from the suppression, none of us can live, if it is still allowed to escape to the outside world, then it can cause absolutely not chaos, it is a catastrophe!" ”
Hearing the old monk's words, I couldn't help but panic, and looked at the old monk anxiously: "Then what should I do?!! It should be a big array to suppress monsters, right?! Can this big array still be repaired?! ”
"It's a big array, but the big array is complete, it's not bad at all!" The old monk smiled bitterly: "The energy of that monster is too great, even if there is a Supo Temple to suppress it, some of its ...... It should be three souls and seven spirits, right? Those things can escape from the repression, even if only partially, enough to affect the living. ”
"Either it won't be able to break the seal of the Supo Temple, or it will break the seal in one breath and destroy this ancient temple, and we will die at its hands in an instant."
As soon as I heard this, I immediately panicked.
I'm not afraid of getting hurt, but I'm also afraid of death.
Especially when I encounter this kind of mortal situation, let alone let me die here...... It's so fucking worthless!!
With the last glimmer of hope, I looked at the old monk cautiously and asked him.
"According to your words...... If you want to repair the big array, you can't talk about it, so you can only fight hard? ”
The old monk nodded, let's fight, if you don't fight, there is no other way to go.
After receiving this somewhat heroic reply, I was silent for a while, and asked the old monk tentatively, do you have the ability to escape from the ground? There's rubble at the entrance, why don't you take me out first?"
He seemed to know that I was going to say that, smiled and nodded, and said okay.
Looking at his expression, there was no meaning of joking, let alone ridicule.
Although his skin was blackened, and there were many red lines hovering over it, he looked a little hateful, but ....... There was an indescribable kindness in his eyes when he spoke.
"You are still young, you shouldn't have died so early, not to mention that you are also a gentleman, after I take you out, you hurry up and run back to find reinforcements, maybe you can still resist it......." the old monk said, standing up tremblingly.
I knew that the old monk's physical fitness was stronger than mine, and he didn't need my support, but at this time, I still couldn't help it, subconsciously helped him, and slowly stood up straight.
"It's a deep mountain and old forest outside, and it takes a certain amount of time to run out from here." I smiled bitterly and completely suppressed the desire to escape in my heart: "I think that monster will definitely run faster than me if it breaks through the seal and appears in the world, do you believe it?" ”
The old monk was stunned for a moment, grabbed my arm, looked at me very seriously, and saw that I was not joking, and the expression on his face suddenly became complicated.
Relief, helplessness, sadness, all kinds of emotions are entangled together.
I could see that the old monk didn't want me to stay here and die, but now I had no other way to go but this one.
"How long will it be until that monster breaks through the seal?" I asked.
"It can hurt people, it is enough to show that it has the power to break the seal, the short is the work of a stick of incense, and the long is ......."
At this moment, a voice that felt inexplicably familiar to me suddenly came from the darkness deep in the hallway.
"Isn't this the Shen family's little Hades?"
When I remembered who that voice belonged to, I couldn't help but grit my teeth and stare at the acquaintance walking in the darkness in front of me.
"He Xi Gong ?!!"
