Chapter 32: The Bodhisattva Organ
The stone portraits on the path are none other than those of the Buddha. These stones form a portrait of a Buddha or Bodhisattva using the lines that connect them in pairs.
"No, rest for a while!" The pig's head panted and turned to look at me: "What about you?" ”
I pointed to the stone on the ground and said, "Hey, pig's head, look here!" It is a portrait of a bodhisattva! ”
"Portrait of a Bodhisattva?!" The pig's head was stunned for a moment, and moved to my side with heavy steps: "Where is it?" What is the portrait of a bodhisattva? Why can't I see, you're tired of hallucinating, aren't you? It's just a pile of broken stones, and what kind of Bodhisattva statue does it make you see? ”
This idiot! No wonder the Seventh Master let him go so happily.
"Here, this is it!" I pointed to the Bodhisattva statue in front of me and said anxiously.
"Cut!" Still unconvinced, the pig's head stepped aside, thinking about resting against the tree behind him for a while.
I was even more anxious, and I stretched out my foot and pointed to a square stone directly below the statue of the Bodhisattva: "Look, this is it! ”
As my foot stepped on the stone, I felt that my toes were weak, and I stepped on the stone.
And all around us, except for the stone of the Bodhisattva statue, slowly rose up as the stone under my feet was stepped on, and the pig's head was a little sluggish, and he stepped on it with one foot and stepped on several stones......
Neither of us dared to move. I stood on tiptoe against the stone, while the pig's head stood motionless on his feet, one behind the other.
"What's wrong?!" The pig's head glared at me and asked.
"Alas......" I was a little speechless from his torture: "It seems that we both stepped on the same trap." ”
"Mechanism?!" The pig's head looked at me, and then at his feet, and then pointed to the stones that were lying quietly on the ground and did not move, and said, "Look! Not to mention, it's really a Bodhisattva statue! How could there be such a bodhisattva statue in this place?! ”
"Big brother, if you had seen it earlier, we wouldn't have to be as passive as we are now!" I said speechlessly, "It's good now, we don't understand what this mechanism is, and if we act rashly, no one knows what the consequences will be." ”
"What then?" The pig's head looked at me innocently.
I'm really speechless, whether this person is here to help or is he dragging his feet! I now finally understand the mood of Liang Ruoyi or the Seventh Master when I dragged my feet before!
"If I'm not mistaken, only one of the two of us can go, and the remaining one will either die on the spot or wait here to die." I scared the pig's head.
"You mean......" the pig's head pointed to the raised stone under his feet and the stone I stepped on, "or I die, or you die?" ”
"Yes." I nodded weakly.
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the pig's head quickly lift his feet up with lightning speed, and jumped backwards, extremely agile!
When I saw the pig's head fall steadily, I looked at him, and both of them were stupid: the stone that the pig's head had just stepped on bounced again, but he was not dead, and I was not dead.
"That...... I thought, you stay here for a while, I'll go to the Seventh Master and they will find a way to save you! The pig's head hurriedly explained: "You know, I'm so fat, standing here and not moving, I will be physically exhausted in a short time, you wait for me!" Don't move! ”
The pig's head turned around and ran forward, although it looked a little funny, but the speed was much faster than before!
"! Bastard! "I came back to my senses and yelled twice at the back of the pig's head!
What a bastard! If this mechanism had been like I said, and only one person could leave, I'd be dead by now! The pig's head is the one who survived! This person is not stupid, he didn't give me time to think about it at all, he didn't even say hello, he just let go of the mechanism and jumped out! How nervous you are for your own life!
I'm afraid of death, but I won't leave others alone at a critical moment! You're good......
I was watching the back of the pig's head gradually disappearing and scolding in my heart, when I suddenly saw the fat fat man's body shake and disappear on the path in an instant!
Hey?! What about people?! I rubbed my eyes: the fat man was indeed gone!
Retribution is coming too soon! I swallowed, looked at the Bodhisattva statue at my feet, folded my hands and bowed twice: "Amitabha, don't let me die......"
While praying, I slowly let go of the toe that was stepping on the stone, held my breath, and watched as the stone I stepped on slowly returned to its original shape with the toe I left.
"Whew......" I let out a long breath and was about to move forward to find the pig's head, but I heard a crisp sound of "pop" under my feet, and then my body lost its center of gravity and fell hard!
There was a muffled "pop", and I fell heavily to the ground.
"Alas...... "I was very painful when I fell before, and I haven't eased up at this time, but this time I came again, and I suddenly felt like I was going to be broken in half."
It was dark all around, and I gritted my teeth and endured the pain, took a flashlight from my backpack, lit it, and looked around.
It's a road. All four sides are made of black bricks, one zhang wide, one zhang high, there is nothing special, there is no end in sight before and after, it is dark.
I stood up, the pain in my lower back made me stumble, and I hurriedly turned around and leaned against the wall to the side, gasping for breath, I don't know how the pig's head is now? Could it be that he also fell into this road?
Subconsciously touched the back of my head, there was no cold, I put my mind at ease and called "pig's head" twice, but I didn't get any response.
Damn, the mechanism above my head is now closed, and I'm so stunned that I don't even know which way I'm going!
I glanced at the time, and it was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. It's time for lunch......
I sat on the ground with a somewhat decadent ass, staring straight ahead in a daze.
This operation, from the very beginning, revealed a trace of weirdness. If I said that when I went out before, I still felt that no matter what happened, my second uncle was my strong backing, but now I don't have any bottom in my heart.
The matter of the iron box and the dragon carving jade plate, coupled with the second uncle's attitude towards the Qingyue Taoist, made me always feel that the second uncle is now a smiling tiger. Before, I thought that Liang Dong was the operator, controlling our every move; And the second uncle, now I feel like a chess player, including Liang Dong, everyone is his pawn, at his mercy.
I really can't imagine what would happen if one day, the second uncle got all the dragon carved jade plates and opened the iron box.
The change of the second uncle in my heart, as well as the change of Su Xiao's attitude towards me, made my heart instantly bottomless, and after I came out, I even felt that I was a homeless person.
And at the beginning of this operation, the sudden departure of the toad made me feel a little strange. Although the toad almost died and suffered a lot of injuries in two consecutive actions, when the old clam retreated, the toad also left suddenly, which always made me feel that there was something strange in this.
There is also the cloth bag monk, since this operation, there are also some abnormalities. The pig's head that the Seventh Master found is useless now. From the death of Mazi at the beginning, to the injury and retirement of the old clam, and then to the sudden departure of the toad, the people in this team come and go, which makes me feel insecure.
Besides, Chai Lao Wu and they didn't look for trouble this time, but the old woman from Lotus Mountain followed, I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional.
After getting the skirt armor in the Han armor last time, Xu Zeming didn't move there, and all these subtle abnormalities made me feel that it was the tranquility before the storm.
Maybe it was a mistake for me to agree to join this team from the beginning.
"Alas-" In fact, in the end, what I was most worried about and feared was whether Su Xiao would leave me.
I leaned my head against the wall, put my flashlight on the ground, looked around, reached into my backpack and took out bread and water, and ate slowly.
There was a smell of earth in the humid air, a little strange. I sniffed a few times with a wrinkled nose, didn't feel anything unusual, tore the bread and stuffed it into my mouth, and poured water into my mouth with a cup in my other hand.
Soon, a loaf of bread and a bottle of water got rid of me, but I still felt a little hungry, and my mouth was dry, and I was very uncomfortable.
I shrugged, reached out and pulled another loaf of bread out of my backpack and stuffed it into my mouth......
