Chapter 4 There are many strange things in the ancient village and there are many things to be added to
Although I was sure that this place or these villagers were a little strange, I still said quietly and politely: "This monk is my friend, what happened, weishenme is going to drive him away?" ”
Before the young village chief could speak, the villagers shouted and cursed again, saying that Kompasu was a madman and did not know what to do, and more people in the village ran out, men, women and children.
It seems that this doll village chief is a puppet little emperor, and he can't stop the villagers at all, and the scene is about to get out of control. If it were just me, I wouldn't be afraid to use force with these villagers, and I would be able to talk well if they all lay down, but Compass, Ling Fengpiao, and Ouyang Zhenfei didn't have any fighting ability, and I was afraid that they would be injured in the chaos. And there was a strange smell to this place, maybe there was something evil controlling the villagers, and it was not advisable to do it until I had figured out the ins and outs of the matter, so I forced the compass to retreat and walked the way I came.
When the villagers saw us leaving, they did not chase after us, but they all stood at the entrance of the village and stared at us. I glanced back, and the men and women, young and old, had different faces, but there was something similar in their expressions, which was a feeling of insensitivity and walking corpse. It may not be easy for ordinary people to see this feeling, but I have a strong sense of perception, and I have studied the art of face reading for three years, so I am able to capture this feeling because of the different angles and details of people.
Not only that, but the village behind them was also shrouded in a decadent and desolate atmosphere, almost like another shijie's gloom**...... I was taken aback, rubbed my eyes and looked back, only to see the old villages under the blue sky and white clouds, the quietly flowing river, and the villagers in plain clothes, everything was so harmonious and natural.
Is this hell in broad daylight, or am I in a state of flux? I silently recited the mantra and secretly opened the eye of heaven and looked back, everything was normal, the villagers had begun to disperse and walk back, only the doll village chief was still standing in place, looking a little dazed.
It was like a white cloud drifting through the clear sky, leaving a shadow on the ground, and it wasn't actually seen, so it was really my delusion.
The compass also turned back three times in one step, and my arm was grabbed by me and couldn't break away, and I said helplessly: "Master Zhang, the little monk really can't go, something is wrong with this village." ”
Ling Fengpiao hurriedly asked, "You just said that they are all dead people, is it true?" ”
I was also about to ask this sentence, so I stared at the compass, and the compass grinned awkwardly: "Amitabha, I have committed a false speech, in fact, I don't know if they are living or dead, but I see that they are all dead, they should all be dead, but they are all still alive, so ......"
I was even more surprised: "Are you saying that everyone in this village is still alive after all their lives?" ”
Compass nodded, but quickly added: "That village chief Yilan is different, he has yang longevity, and it looks like he is still a baby." ”
Ouyang Zhenfei screamed: "He must be a master of the evil way, he used the evil method to suck away everyone's yang longevity, and he rejuvenated himself, and his longevity is boundless!" ”
Ling Fengpiao immediately said: "Yes, my previous master said that there was this kind of evil method in ancient times, and I can't imagine that the reappearance of the peerless learning that has been lost for hundreds of years will definitely set off countless bloody storms!" ”
Compass was stunned by the two of them, but they completely believed it. I was angry and said, "Don't believe their nonsense, master, you still say from the beginning, how did you come here, and how did you find out that there is something wrong with this village?" ”
Compass began to start from the beginning, he was not very eloquent, and it took several minutes to explain things clearly. It turned out that he returned to the monastery three years ago with the relics of his master, and he stayed in the monastery to continue his practice, and it was not until half a year ago that he left the mountain and traveled everywhere.
About half a month ago, Kompasu got lost in the mountains, but fortunately he was calm, and he was at peace with the encounter, and there was no difference between the barren mountains and the hustle and bustle of the city. Outside the village, he saw that the village was a little strange, and when he entered the village, the villagers gave him food and drink, but he resolutely refused to stay overnight.
Kompasu felt more and more suspicious, stayed outside the village and refused to leave, and by chance, he sensed that he opened his eyes and saw that the villagers were all people who had reached the end of their lives, with a dead breath on their bodies, so they asked the villagers to inquire that they were still alive. He has lived in an ancient temple in the mountains for a long time, and he used to follow the master when he went out by chance, so he didn't know much about human accidents, and he angered the villagers by bluntly saying that he was jealous, and he was kicked out. But he didn't get things out and didn't leave, and slipped into the village again, so the scene that had just been besieged happened.
I asked, "Master, apart from the fact that the villagers have reached the end of their longevity, is there anything abnormal?" ”
Compass was a little embarrassed: "I'm not a master, I'm a little monk, Master Zhang still calls me Compass." ”
I smiled: "I don't give you anything, and you can't call me a donor, why don't we be straightforward and be called brothers or friends?" ”
Compass also laughed: "Little monk...... When there are no outsiders, I call you Brother Xuanming, but when there are outsiders, I can't lose the dignity of a monk. ”
Ling Fengpiao, Ouyang Zhenfei and I all nodded again and again, in awe of him. You can call it in private, you have to look like a monk in public, not to mention that the times are progressing, you can wear toad glasses, wear a lattice, ride a motorcycle, and not ruin the image of Buddhism because of personal behavior.
As soon as the two sides reported their age, the compass turned out to be the same age as me, he was picked up by his master, I don't know the specific month and day of birth, anyway, "Brother Xuanming" was called like this.
It seems that I am a bit vicissitudes now!
After laughing for a while, the conversation returned to the quirky village and its villagers. Compass only saw that the villagers were still alive after their longevity, and they seemed to have the breath of a dead man; I can only intuitively see that the villagers are numb, the village has a ** atmosphere, and we don't sense that there is evil and evil in the vicinity, it doesn't look like demons and monsters are doing it, so what's going on?
Xiaoxue and I didn't know what Koabasu thought of demons, and I didn't want to lose Koabasu as a friend, so Xiaoxue was quiet for the time being and didn't communicate with me, for fear of being sensed by Koabasu and causing unpleasantness.
We walked to the top of the cliff and looked down from the heights, the villagers were carrying cattle in and out, there were people plowing the fields, and there were people washing clothes by the river, which looked orderly. I looked closely at the feng shui pattern of the village, the direction of the entire Grand Canyon and the topography of the nearby mountains and rivers, and I didn't see anything special. However, the water, soil and mountains here are completely different from the south I am familiar with, and I am not very proficient in feng shui, so I am not too sure.
I was a little surprised that Kompasu could see that the villager's yang life was over, so I asked him, "Kompasu, take the liberty of asking, what can you see with the heavenly eye of Buddhism?" ”
"Heavenly Eye?" Compass scratched his scalp: "Some people see some light and shadow when they meditate, and they say that they have opened their eyes to heaven, but in fact these are all illusions or the aura around them. People who have really cultivated the Heavenly Eye can see gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters, and some can also see thousands of miles away, and even other shijie and other planetary things, different people have different practices and karma, and the Heavenly Eye is also slightly different. ”
I know that most of the supernatural powers of Buddhism are cultivated by oneself, which is different from the Taoism and Yin-Yang families to learn magic, but I still have some questions: "Then what is the matter with the Wisdom Eye that you are talking about, which is more advanced than the Heavenly Eye?" ”
Compass shook his head, didn't know how to express it, and thought for a while before saying: "I can't say which one is more advanced, I can only say that the eye of heaven is easier to cultivate, and the eye of wisdom is more difficult to cultivate, this is the liliang of precepts, concentration, and wisdom, the wisdom of the eye of emptiness, the equality of the Dharma eye, the compassion of the Buddha's eye, the later the more difficult it is to cultivate, but it is only the realm of different ......"
I was not familiar with these magical powers of Buddhism, and I was not interested in listening to a tirade at this time, so I interrupted him: "Then can you look at it with other eyes now?" ”
Compass's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed: "Tianyan and Huiyan are actually both naked eyes, and they can't be replaced, but the liliang of the fear is different, so ...... So sometimes I just have a discernment, I don't want to use it, sometimes I suddenly realize, and I see it. ”
It turned out that he was like Ling Fengpiao, his performance was unstable, but Xiaoxue couldn't help it at this time: "Childe, he actually has a discerning eye, it's amazing, could it be that he is the reincarnation of an Arhat?" ”
Compass immediately sensed the demonic aura and looked at me with some surprise, so I had to say, "I adopted a fox fairy spirit, she is kind and will not harm people." ”
Compass said "oh" and didn't ask any more, but Ouyang Zhenfei said: "I guess there is a well in this village, and if you drink the water in it, you can live forever, so their yang life is all over and they are still alive." Wow, if we sneak in and take a sip, can we live forever? ”
Ling Fengpiao immediately said: "It makes sense, but it may not be a well, maybe it is a certain kind of grass or soil, I have heard that there is a kind of immortal soil that can cure all diseases, and if you eat it every day, you may be immortal!" ”
I couldn't laugh or cry, these two guys were whimsical and suspicious all day together, but there was often a certain amount of truth, and I couldn't bear to erase their imagination, so I had to endure the torture of their whimsy.
Xiaoxue said in my mind: "Childe, what Xiaofei said has a certain truth, it is really possible that this is a village of immortality, and there will be no major changes in three hundred years." You don't know that the Big Dipper Receiving Method can only be used in the Year of the Monkey, and the effect of using it may not be good, if you can find the method of immortality here, it will be appropriate! ”
I am also a little moved, the Big Dipper Command method is unstable, the success rate is low, and the best can only extend the life span by twenty years, which is far from enough for me. Who wouldn't want to live a few more years? What's more, I have someone I love who needs me to stay with me for a long time...... But is there really a village of eternal life? These people lived for three hundred years? This idea is ridiculous!
I asked Kompasu, "Have you ever been in the village and have you noticed anything strange or someone special?" ”
Compass immediately said: "Yes! The village chief named Yilan is different from others, he has a longevity, and he can't tell how old he is. When I looked at him with discernment, he looked like a newborn baby, and to the naked eye he looked like he was in his twenties, but Ren intuitively felt that he was over thirty. His attitude towards me was a little different from that of others, and, more, ...... I can't say the specifics, in short, he is different from others! ”
I also feel that something is wrong with this village chief, as the village chief, he doesn't have any power and prestige, if he doesn't pretend to be controlled, this matter must have something to do with him, and I want to find a breakthrough from him!
"I'll go into the village alone tonight to investigate!"
