Chapter 136: The Most Respected Monk
After everyone discussed, Yuan Ming took the third master and Zhao Dongliang to the hole on the left, and Yuan Meng took me into the back, before leaving, in order to prevent accidents, I handed over the golden retriever to Zhao Dongliang, in this way, if you really encounter something like a ghost, the golden retriever can at least resist for a while, even if you encounter something that has become a demon, the golden retriever can delay for a while.

Yuan Meng is a good demoman, it can be seen from the scorpion he blew up just now that such a violent explosion can be done so perfectly, and he is much more interesting than Yuan Ming, maybe because he is close to my age, the two of them chatted more harmoniously.
The cave here is getting drier and drier, and after walking for about half an hour, there are no water stains on the ground, and then walking forward, there is already dust, and the strange thing is that the further you go, the more scorpions appear, but they are all dead scorpions, some large and some small, and some of the corpses have rotted to the point that only empty shells remain.
Yuan Meng was carrying a smoking grenade in his hand as usual, and I asked him curiously.
"What is this, it looks like a grenade?"
Yuan Meng smiled and handed it to me under my nose, coughing violently with a strong sulfur smell.
"This is my own invention, it is a smoke bomb made of a bunch of medicinal herbs and sulfur, this smell can stimulate poisonous insects and beasts, and it is the most suitable for insect prevention and insect repellent, otherwise it will be too wasteful to sprinkle medicinal powder."
After speaking, he waved a grenade at me proudly, and I quickly retreated a few steps in fright.
The two of us walked for more than ten minutes, and suddenly, the cobwebs on the cave wall moved.
"Be careful!"
I hurriedly grabbed Yuan Meng, how can there be wind in this place? This spider web can move, either there is a yin wind evil thing, or yes, there should be a relatively large flow of air in front of it, which drives the breeze to blow.
And I opened my eyes, looked forward, and did not find any place where there is yin energy, but can feel a slight warmth, it seems that the yang energy here, but more than anywhere else, this situation is not strange if it is outside, but here, it seems to be a little weird!
Yuan Meng and I carefully leaned against the wall and slowly moved forward, by the light of the flashlight, there seemed to be a half-human tall scorpion blocking the middle of the road in front of us, Yuan Meng took out four or five more objects from the backpack, and when I was about to throw them, I saw that this seemed to be a dry battery thing, and there was a thin copper wire wrapped around it, which seemed to be made by himself.
Just listen to a few explosions of DuangDuang, there is no fire and no smoke, the same way, the scorpion in front of it is torn apart, I pinched the flashlight and walked a few steps forward, and suddenly saw that the exploded scorpion did not have green slime, but a pile of red-green dry shells that were broken into slag, I picked up a piece of dry shell and sniffed Yuan Meng.
"You study insects, does this scorpion also molt?"
"Molting? Scorpions have to molt a total of six times from birth to death! Why is this asked? ”
Yuan Meng walked over as he spoke, and also picked up a piece of dry shell and sniffed it, and finally understood why I asked this, but his brows furrowed, and he seemed to think of something else, and put the dry shell in his hand under his feet and stepped on it and said.
"The scorpion does have to molt, but this shell is not shedding, you see, there is a little bit of air-dried scorpion meat on it, which seems to have been eaten into an empty shell by something!"
I took a closer look at the dry shell in my hand, and it was true that there was a trace of lump on it, but it had been air-dried, and I couldn't see it at all if I didn't look carefully!
"Strange ......"
Yuan Meng was still pulling at the broken dry shell, and when I asked him what was wrong, Yuan Meng looked up and asked me.
"I heard that a half-human-tall rat was found in this temple? Isn't it? ”
At that time, I took Zhao Gang and ran away before the police came, so many people didn't know that I was also involved in killing the rat before, but I didn't know why Yuan Meng suddenly asked this, and wondered whether to tell the truth or a lie, and then this guy seemed to be talking to himself, and without waiting for me to answer, he spoke again.
"Scorpions occasionally eat the same kind of scorpion, but such a big scorpion, it stands to reason that it also eats others, it is impossible to be eaten by other scorpions, if there is a scorpion that eats him, it must be at least twice his size! If the rat found in the temple really exists, it's likely that it did it! ”
"You're saying the scorpion was eaten by a rat?"
"yes, isn't that weird? The natural enemy of the scorpion is the rat at the top of the list! It's easy to eat such a big scorpion with such a big mouse! ”
Yuan Meng was a little strange why I reacted so much, but I was thinking about something else! I know that mouse best, it is indeed a rat spirit who has become a demon, this should be his territory, it stands to reason, if there are some small scorpions, it is understandable and normal, but such a big scorpion was also eaten by him! This, this, this...... My mind was a little confused, and I rubbed my head, and Yuan Meng turned on the flashlight and continued to walk forward.
"Come on! There is a discovery! ”
Just after walking a few steps, Yuan Meng screamed and beckoned to me, his voice trembled a little, and even his legs trembled, as if he saw something terrifying, I hurriedly ran a few steps and stood next to him!
Five or six meters in front of him, a narrow cave one meter high above the ground appeared on the cave wall on the left-hand side, only about four or five square sizes, very irregular, the cave was very dry, and the entrance was full of white cobwebs, if you didn't look closely, you would think it was just a wall full of cobwebs.
Around the entrance to the cave, I found more than a dozen hollowed out scorpion shells, each about the size of half a man.
"Be careful!"
Yuan Meng whispered to me, and then, picking up a broken stone from the ground and throwing it into the hole, the broken stone tore the cobweb, revealing the mystery inside.
By the light of the flashlight, the first thing that appeared in the cave were two skeletons sitting cross-legged side by side, these two skeletons did not know how long they had been dead, the clothes on their bodies had been severely weathered, and they could only be roughly seen to be yellow monk's robes, only the patched places were slightly better, and they could still be recognized.
The ground in the cave was littered with thumb-sized beads, and the two skeletons were looking at each other with their hands folded, and I followed their empty eye sockets to look, not far in front of them, a huge scorpion corpse was lying there quietly, the scorpion tail was still raised high, as if ready to attack, and the two monks were stalemate.
Yuan Meng used a long strip of stone to pick up the spider web at the entrance of the cave, the two of us walked into the stone cave, I used a flashlight to take a careful photo, there were several black things thrown on the ground, because it was full of dust, I kicked one of the things with my foot, this thing rolled for a while, revealing its true face, picked it up and looked, it seemed to be a magic weapon used by people in Buddhism to subdue the pestle.
"What is this?"
Yuan Meng was behind me, and he also picked up something in his hand, it was black, it seemed to have rusted, and it looked like a bronze mirror.
I took it in my hand and wiped it on the back with my sleeve, and the back was twisted and engraved with a demon word!
"This is a demon mirror!"
"Looking in the mirror? Isn't this something in the list of gods? ”
Yuan Meng is a little incomprehensible, let alone him, I don't fucking understand it, the demon mirror mentioned here is not a thing in the god list, but a magic weapon imitated by Taoists in later generations, its role is somewhat similar to the function of breaking the charm, ordinary people will occasionally hang a mirror on the door of the shop or residence, which is learned from the demon mirror, and its main purpose is to ward off evil spirits.
In addition to warding off evil spirits, the demon mirror also has another miraculous effect on dealing with things that have become demons, such as a fox that turns into a human body, and generally becomes a beautiful woman to seduce a man to suck ** blood.
What I don't understand is that these two skeletons are obviously dressed as monks, why are there both Buddhist vajra and Taoist demon mirrors?
"Intelligent, ordained at Bodhi Monastery in 1982......"
I was thinking about the contradiction when I suddenly heard Yuan Meng reading something, turned his head, and he took out a palm-sized booklet from the skull's weathered coat pocket!
I leaned over to see that this booklet turned out to be the precepts of people in Buddhism, and after reading the precepts, my heart suddenly felt like a storm! This skeleton turned out to be the intelligent master of Bodhi Temple! I hurriedly rummaged through the other skeleton's coat pocket! I also flipped out a booklet, opened it, and it said Jihyun!
I was struck by lightning, and I looked at the two in front of me in a daze, these are the monks of the original Bodhi Temple that I have been looking for for a long time, the two senior brothers of Zhiguang, and the two apprentices of Master Kurong!
Unexpectedly, the two of them would have passed away a long time ago! What I was holding in my hand was the ring of the two of them, just like the identity of ordinary people, and then looking at the magic weapon and the huge scorpion corpse in this place, I sighed deeply, I didn't have to think about it to know what was going on at that time!
"This ...... It seems to be ......"
My two masters bowed, and just wanted to stuff the ring back, when I heard Yuan Meng's puzzled voice behind him, and turned around, he was standing behind the scorpion, looking at the ground with his waist bent, not knowing what he found!
I hurriedly went over to see that Yuan Meng was stepping on a two-meter-long furry thing under his feet, with the thickness of his arms and the black hair on his upper body.
Yuan Meng wrapped a handful of black hair in toilet paper, carefully shone it with a flashlight, scratched his head and said.
"It's like rat hair, but...... But ......"
"Don't you think it's a little long?"
"Yes, according to the length of this hair, then this mouse's body must be at least more than a meter long, isn't it...... Is it true that the discovery of giant rats in Bodhi Temple? ”
Poor Yuan Meng, it seems that the dwarf winter melon called him to help, but he didn't tell him anything, and thanks to this kid's love of gossip, he heard about the discovery of big rats in Bodhi Temple in advance.
Thinking of the tail of the rat, and then looking at the giant tail of the rat, my eyes began to narrow slightly, and an idea immediately came to my mind! At this moment, a gust of yin wind blew in the dry stone cave, and a large amount of yin qi began to condense in front of my eyes! (To be continued.) )
