Chapter 6: The Village of the Undead

Running out of Laozhaigou Village, the sky suddenly darkened, as if nothing was chasing us, I was shocked, and hurriedly asked Xiaoxue: "What happened?" ”

Xiaoxue was both panicked and puzzled: "There is a place that looks like a small temple at the back of the village, when I control the village chief's mother and son, it may be that the demonic qi fluctuations have alarmed the gods in the temple......"

I once saw a very supernatural goddess statue in Yushan, Fuzhou, with the breath of a god and can launch spells to trap evil demons, so I am familiar with the breath of a god, but I didn't have that feeling of light and holiness just now?

Xiaoxue said: "Everyone's temper is different, and the breath of each immortal is also different, but people are popular, demons have demonic energy, and immortals have immortal energy, but this is the same." The white light that penetrated the sky and the earth just now had a fairy aura, and it was not obvious that Childe was a human being, but it was much more obvious that I was a demon. ”

I really didn't feel the breath of the gods just now, I only felt that Xiaoxue was very scared, and the moonlight in the sky was very scary. Only a super-powerful immortal can make such a big move, and it appears from the temple, so there is a chance that he is an immortal.

I was a little worried that the mysterious immortal would come after me and capture Xiaoxue, so I left the village and walked quickly to the cliff. Xiaoxue was still suspicious, and after thinking for a while, she said to me apologetically: "Childe, it may be that I was too nervous and made a mistake, if it is really a fairy, as long as I blow or flick my fingers, I will be finished, how can I escape?" ”

"It should be that we haven't done anything really bad, that immortal just scared us, and also gave us a dismount, so let's not meddle in things."

Xiaoxue still couldn't let go: "I think about it, I still don't think it looks like an immortal appears, I was using witchcraft at that time, and the white light rose from the temple, so I took it for granted that it was alarming the immortal ......"

I comforted Xiaoxue: "Forget it, we all came back safely anyway, and there is no need to worry about this anymore, no matter what it is." ”

Xiaoxue let out a "hmm", and the uneasiness and doubts in her heart disappeared, replaced by a warm feeling, full of gratitude and love. Just now I fled without hesitation, I only wanted to protect her, but now I care about her and think about her, and she is moved.

She knows my heart, I know her intentions, and when a love fills the air, it feels even more wonderful, so mellow that words are superfluous.

After walking for a while, Xiaoxue suddenly said: "Kompass must be a person with a great background, with unlimited potential, Childe should find a way to keep him by his side, and he may be able to help a lot in the future." ”

"Isn't that good?" I wrinkle my head secretly, in order to use the ability of others to keep them, this is not my temperament, besides, I am a great scourge now, how can I harm the compass?

Xiaoxue smiled: "It's me who expressed some problems, I mean that if you treat him better, he will also be good to you and help each other." He used to give you relics, and now he met here by chance, this is fate! ”

I know that Xiaoxue was not such a person in the first place, and now she has become "selfish" to help me, so I don't blame her, I asked, "What do you mean by saying that he 'has a great background'?" ”

"He is the reincarnation of the first fruit arhat or the second fruit arhat."

I was confused: "What fruit, Luo Han Guo?"

"Hehe......" Xiaoxue daxiao, if she had a body at this moment, she would definitely laugh and tremble, and laughed for a while before saying, "I once overheard an old monk lecturing a few times, and he said that Arhats are also divided into many ranks. When a person cultivates to the realm of getting rid of **, emotion, and utilitarianism, this heart is flat, and does not enter the color, sound, fragrance, and touch the Dharma, even if it is the first fruit arhat, Sanskrit is called 'Sudra Huan'; The second fruit arhat also needs to be reincarnated to continue to practice, and after reincarnation, he still can't remember the things of his previous life, and the third life continues to cultivate the merits of the consummation, which is called the three-fruit arhat, called 'anahan'; the three-fruit arhat is powerful, you don't need to enter reincarnation, even if you are reincarnated, you can also carry the memory and supernatural powers of the previous life, for example, the familiar 'Jigong' monk in the world is the reincarnation of the three-fruit arhat. ”

It turns out that there are so many exquisite, it seems that Buddhism cultivation is not easy, not to recite a few words of Amitabha, sit cross-legged for a few years to become a Buddha and become a saint, to insist on practicing more than three lifetimes to be considered a real Arhat, if you can't continue to practice after reincarnation, you will have lost all your efforts.

Xiaoxue continued: "After the reincarnation of the first fruit Arhat and the second fruit Arhat, although they can't remember the events of their previous lives, they are also a little different from ordinary people, they love theology, metaphysics, are intelligent, easy to become enlightened, and can become outstanding people by focusing on a certain industry. If you continue to be a monk after reincarnation, then you will get twice the result with half the effort and have unlimited potential, and you will definitely be a high monk, and Kompasu belongs to such a person. ”

No wonder Compass looks like a monk at a young age, what kind of insight can he use, dare to lover is the "second generation of monks", the congenital conditions are super good, it really makes people envious, jealous and hateful!

In fact, I have always been very good at the compass imprint, whether he is the reincarnation of an Arhat or not, I will always regard him as a friend. There shouldn't be anyone following us now, and if he is willing to go with me, I can learn some knowledge of Buddhism from him, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to keep the second generation of a senior monk like him.

Walking to the cliff, Ling Fengpiao, Ouyang Zhenfei and Compass hurriedly greeted me and asked me how things were. I told me what had happened, and all three of them were surprised and looked at each other.

"We didn't see the moon or the white light just now, are you hallucinating?" Ling Fengpiao looked at me suspiciously.

Ouyang Zhenfei and Compass both nodded, indicating that they did not see the moon and white light.

I said, "That's not the point, the point is that there are no gods and demons here, and we don't have to meddle with any more things." ”

Ling Feng said: "It seems that we all mistake Feng Jing for Ma Liang, it's not that ghosts and evil spirits are playing games!" ”

I was about to reprimand him, but Ouyang Zhenfei said again: "I know, these villagers are the descendants of a certain immortal, so the immortal cheats to make his descendants immortal!" ”

I had no choice but to take out the majesty of the senior brother in charge, and shouted angrily: "Shut up for me, don't talk nonsense, we'll leave after dawn." ”

Compass shook his head: "I'm not leaving, I won't leave until I figure out what is going on here." ”

I smiled bitterly, the second generation of senior monks is the second generation of senior monks, the perseverance is extraordinary, and the head is broken and bleeding and cannot leave, there is no reason to meddle or not to leave. I have self-knowledge, such a "wise and courageous" person is not something I can convince, but I am not too comfortable to leave him here alone, and I want to invite him to go with me.

Ouyang Zhenfei and Ling Fengpiao didn't dare to say more, but they winked at Compass, hoping that he would open his mouth to persuade me to continue the investigation. In fact, I'm also very curious, mainly for everyone's safety I want to give up, if it's just me, I will continue to investigate.

Xiaoxue suddenly said to me: "The gods in the village temple generally only protect the village, and he doesn't care outside the village, so we can wait for the little village chief to come out and ask about it." ”

This method is good, at this time Ling Fengpiao also put forward an idea: "You don't have to enter the village, there must be a cemetery nearby, I can recruit an old ghost to ask, not only can I know what is happening now, but I can also dig out their old bottoms." ”

This is also a good idea, and it can be done immediately, I agree, Kompa probably does not agree with it, but there is no objection to it.

In the afternoon, I had already looked at the feng shui pattern in the vicinity, and although I didn't see the cemetery, I already had a good idea of where the cemetery could be. The four of us walked down the canyon again, except for me, no one else had night vision, and did not dare to light a torch, so we carefully felt the darkness and descended the cliff, and Xiaoxue and I began to look for the cemetery.

Things were more troublesome than I thought, and I took a quick trip through the places that could be used as burial grounds, but I didn't get anything. I didn't give up, I searched all over again, and finally found a few tombstones in a very inconspicuous little place, and a grave bag that had almost turned into flat ground. The reason why I didn't find it the first time was that there was almost no yin qi gathering in this place, and Xiaoxue and I didn't sense it at all.

The handwriting on the tombstone has been blurred, and it is simply written that someone's tomb was buried in the year and month of a certain cadre, and most of them died in the same year and month, but it is impossible to infer which year it is. Only the largest tombstone has the year name written on it, but it was from the last year of the Ming Dynasty.

I looked at it again from the beginning, there were a total of eight tombstones, and six of them were from the same year and month, how could so many people die at the same time in a small village? And the dead may not all be buried here, some cemeteries have disappeared due to soil erosion, but I am afraid that the number of people who died at that time was far more than that!

These tombs are hundreds or even hundreds of years old, and there is not a single new grave near the village, which means that no one has died in the village for such a long time, which is impossible! There were many people in the village who died at the same time, and Kompasu said that all the villagers were people who had reached the end of their lives, and there was only one possibility to combine these two points - the people in the village had already died, and none of the people were human now!

My heart is pounding, if they're not human then what? They obviously have a heartbeat, body temperature, and flesh, and they talk and act exactly like normal people, and they are real people. But to say that they are human, how can it be that no one has died for hundreds or even centuries? This fact is so unbelievable!

If you are not a human or a ghost, then you can only be a god, and I think of the gods in the small temple in the village. Xiaoxue said: "There are two possibilities, one is what Xiaofei said, a certain ancestor of the villagers became a god and secretly sheltered these villagers from immortality, isn't there a saying that 'a person who has attained the Tao and a chicken dog ascends to heaven'?" Chickens and dogs can ascend to heaven, and of course relatives and friends can too; The second possibility is that everyone in the village died, but there was some special event that made them still alive like real people. ”

I nodded, the first possibility is not very likely, the master of the stone boiling man can't save my mother's life, not to mention the life and death of hundreds of people, what a rebellious move is this? Absolutely no immortal would dare to mess around like this. The second possibility exists, maybe this is a place like an illusion, which ordinary people can't see, and only a reincarnated arhat like Compass can see. This place is very remote and inaccessible, and the villagers have not done any harm, but they are afraid that God will also ignore this little trouble. If this village is really an illusion, then the gods in the village are not real immortals, and everything becomes reasonable.

I brought Compass, Ling Fengpiao, and Ouyang Zhenfei over, but as I expected, both Compass and Ling Fengpiao were sure that there were no ghosts near the cemetery, so it was impossible to catch an old ghost to interrogate.
