Chapter 425: Nine-Leaf Shuttle
Soon, the dim yellow of the green light with a little golden light broke through the thick Liu Yun and the fog, and expanded to a range Chinese of more than ten meters around.
The people who had been abandoned outside the light saw that they were suddenly desperate and immediately approached us, numbering in the dozens, accounting for more than two-thirds.
"It's a great light." The fat man was speechless and said
"Where did you find it, it's definitely a treasure that can break through the barrier."
"Digging out from under the rubble." I replied that it was unbelievable that this thing had gone through so many years and still had lamp oil; I didn't expect it to have such a miraculous effect, even more powerful than my own fire.
Obviously, the flame is smaller than the candle flame, but the light emitted can extend more than ten meters away, and if you don't see it with your own eyes, you can't believe it at all.
"The lamp oil burns with a faint fragrance and smoke, like the legendary nine-leaf shuttle." After a pause, the fat man moved his nose and said again.
"Nine-leaf shuttle?" I don't know why, I have heard of Suo alder, it is a kind of horse chestnut tree, legend has it that this tree has a wisdom root, and has a relationship with Buddhism.
"Nine-leaf shuttle tree is a kind of Buddhist treasure tree, second only to the Bodhi tree, it is said that the seeds of the tree grow like a Buddha's head, and the oil squeezed out is the best lamp oil for the ever-bright lamp, and a can can be burned for hundreds of years." Huang Mao explained, and said
"This kind of tree is very rare, it only grows in the place where the great monk and Buddha preached, and like the Bodhi tree, it is the embodiment of the Tao fruit." I'm amazed that a can of oil can burn for hundreds of years, it's amazing.
If you look closely, you can see that the smoke from the oil lamp has a wisp of milky white smoke, which is extremely ethereal, and when you smell it, there is a faint fragrance.
No wonder this small jar of lamp oil can be stored for so long, not to mention volatilization, and it will burn for dozens or hundreds of years.
As a result, I am more confident that if that thing is afraid of fire, then the green lantern will burn with the light of Buddha nature and divinity, and it will be more able to restrain it.
I held the green lantern high and let it illuminate as much as possible, people have died too much to die anymore, otherwise there will be no one.
Then we moved on, and sure enough, the thing didn't attack again. But I could feel that a pair of cold eyes kept appearing from all corners, staring at me.
Obviously, that thing wasn't reconciled. The time gradually lengthened, and the crowd was a little more relieved.
After that, it was the middle of the night, when a fire suddenly appeared in front of me, and when I got closer, it turned out to be a crowd in front of me, who were sitting on the ground around the bonfire, and the number of people was a little smaller, but not much less.
Strangely, the fog was noticeably thinner and the water vapor was much lighter. It wasn't a gradual change, but when I got close to them, it suddenly faded and the visibility suddenly zoomed in I took a general look and saw that the number of people did not decrease significantly, apparently the crowd was just driven here and did not suffer much damage.
This puzzled me, needless to say, the ferocity of that black shadow, how could so many people not be killed on a large scale?
"What's the matter, that thing is staring at us?" Cao Nan was also puzzled.
"It should be that the yang energy of the crowd here is too heavy, and it is inconvenient for it to move, so it turned to focus on us." The fat man explained, paused and said
"And it is obvious that the more crowds, the lighter the clouds and fog, indicating that yang energy also has a restraining effect on both." Sure enough, it is not useless to have a large number of people, especially when it comes to ghosts and evil spirits, natural yang energy is the best barrier.
This is also the reason why the metropolis is full of ordinary people, but there are no ghosts and evil people who dare to go, they basically stay in the countryside, because there are many people in the city, and the yang is soaring.
The crowd saw us, too, and some cheered at first, but when they saw that we were more than half of the number, they all looked at each other and whispered.
After returning to the crowd, Feng Daniu quickly rushed over with us to meet us, and when we saw that he was fine, we were completely relieved.
"How did you get out so far?" Even though I had already guessed the answer, I couldn't resist asking for it.
"As the afternoon approached, the light deteriorated, and there was a dark shadow constantly attacking the crowd, and everyone was panicking, so they ran here, and lost a total of seven." Feng Da Niu said.
I nodded, it was similar to what I had guessed.
"Why have you been here for so long, and we still hear the bell, is it from your side?" Feng Daniu asked.
Huang Mao nodded, and then talked about what happened on our side. I began to count the heads.
When they came down, there were almost two hundred and thirty people, and they were lost and lost, and there were about two hundred and one left.
The ruins of the temple were found later, and about eighty people went in, and those who came back alive at the moment were about thirty, and the loss was more than fifty.
The total number of people should be more than 150 or so. But when I looked closer, I found that there were more than 130 people in total, nearly half of the total number of people lost, and more than 20 people were missing.
I think it should have been running over when I was running away, or I was killed by a black shadow when I was behind, I had a kinship, so I tossed and turned, and more than 100 people died or disappeared.
But no matter what, the crowd reunited and was finally safer. After that, we also returned to the campfire, this day's running, tired and afraid, long tired, ominous in the last night, not suitable for rushing, so choose to rest.
There is no sunlight under the abyss all year round, and when I move, I don't feel it, but once I calm down, I immediately feel the cold, which makes people get goosebumps.
After the initial curiosity of the crowd, they began to be drowsy, more and more people lay down, the iron-headed Buddha saw this, and discussed with Jinhua Granny and others for a while, and divided the people into four shifts, each class kept an hour, and the rest rested to recuperate.
Our people were chosen to start, so we had to keep our eyes on patrol, and wait for an hour to pass before we lay down and rested.
I looked at the green lantern that was still burning, and I felt a little sorry for the lamp oil, so I wanted to blow it out, but Hu Lai stopped me, he said
"Don't extinguish, it's ominous at night, it's safer to be on." I thought about it, so I didn't extinguish it, and lay down in my hand.
It didn't take long for my eyelids to start fighting, and when I entered the temple ruins, my energy consumption was very large, because every step was like walking on thin ice, trembling, highly concentrated, and consumed a lot, plus I was in danger in the small hell later, it was a double consumption of energy and physical strength, and I couldn't bear it.
Soon, I fell asleep. …… I don't know how long it has been, I feel some pain in my cheeks, and when I open my eyes, the fat man's slightly anxious face is a little pale, and he shouts at me
"Wake up, something happened!" I shuddered, sat up suddenly, and when I looked at it, I felt a chill down my spine.
The crowd is gone! There were only a dozen or so people left, still with their eyes closed. The five of us are here, Hu Lai is being woken up by the fat man, Huang Mao, Cao Nan and Feng Daniu haven't opened their eyes yet, Xiong Da is holding the merit box and flowing Ha Lazi, in addition to five or six other people, most of them are gathered around him, and there are also new joiners.
When Hu Lai woke up, he was also startled, and hurriedly kicked Huang Mao. Hu Lai also kicked Cao Nan awake, and the fat man went to call Xiong Da and the others.
"What's the situation?" I asked the fat man, and he was the first to wake up.
"I don't know." The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said
"I woke up like this, and no one was gone."
"Holy." I cursed and hurried to the side to look, only to find that the campfire had clearly been trampled on by the panicked crowd.
The feet were on the ashes, and they were imprinted on the ground, revealing many very messy footprints. It was clear that something had happened to the crowd in the second half of the night, and they hurried away, leaving us behind, and there were still obvious blood stains on the ground, and there were casualties.
"What's going on with Nima?" Cao Nan's face was ugly.
"It seems that the attack is not over, and that thing reappeared in the second half of the night." Huang Mao stepped forward to observe it, and his face was ugly.
"Then why didn't we wake up, the movement must not be small?" Cao Nan asked.
"That thing must have tried to kill us in some way, but for some reason it didn't work, we didn't die in a dream." The fat man's voice came from behind.
