Chapter 121: Back to the Temple
While the three of them were talking and laughing, the cannibal had already opened the curtain and came out of the back room, carrying a roast chicken wrapped in oil paper and a pot of bronze wine in his hand, and stuffed it into Lu Lie's hand with an almost flattering smile: "It's all right, guest officer." Don't want money, don't want money, next time I'll ask Liu Laosi, this bastard, to ask for it. β
Lu Lie and Su Wen bowed to the cannibal and prepared to leave. Li Yuan also leaned over to Lu Liewei: "If we don't see each other if we don't see each other, we will say goodbye." β
Although Lu Lie and this Li Yuan met for a short time, they had a very happy conversation. After leaving this time, a monk like Li Yuan, who has traveled all over the world, will probably never see each other again in his life. He was a little reluctant, and also made an arch to Li Yuan, so he had to walk out of the blacksmith shop under Su Wen's urging.
The two of them hadn't walked far from the blacksmith shop, Lu Lie turned his head, and saw that in the light of the fire outside the blacksmith shop, a shadow like Li Yuan fell the football-sized fruits on his back basket to the ground one by one. Then another figure who seemed to be a man-eater raised the shovel in his hand and slashed down with a knife on his headβ
"Save Me ......"
The unusually poignant woman's cry came again, piercing half of the pitch-black sky, and shaking the eardrums of Lu Lie and Su Wen. If it weren't for what they had seen with their own eyes, they were afraid that after hearing such a terrible and miserable scream, those who were as bold as Lu Lie would have been shocked, not to mention the timid and suspicious Su Wen.
"I really can't imagine that there is such a strange fruit in this world......," Lu Lie laughed dryly, "After being stabbed, there will be a woman-like scream." After the old man entered the curtain before, and that muffled snort came from behind, I really thought something was going on......"
Su Wen touched his nose, still palpitating: "I don't know why, I always think that old man has a problem, you said that in the middle of the night, which blacksmith shop will be open at this time...... and that Li Yuan, it is also strange that with a basket of fruits that are so big and screaming, and he also says some strange things that are not dreams and people, and his mouth is full of confusion...... I was scared when I heard it. β
Lu Lie just sighed and didn't say anything. Looking at the deep night sky, I don't know what is going on in my heart.
The two walked side by side for a long distance, until the faint spark behind them was completely consumed by darkness. I don't know how long it took, they finally returned to the Blood Buddha Temple where they set off, the entrance of the temple was still dark, as if something was hidden inside, looking at Lu Lie and Su Wen who were walking towards them. But when Lu Lie squinted his eyes and tried hard to see the darkness at the entrance of the temple, he found that there was nothingness again, nothing.
Su Wen raised the roast chicken wrapped in oiled paper above his head, and shook it every three steps, as if he was holding some magic weapon to subdue demons and subdue demons: "Liu Laosi, hey, come out, Liu Laosi, we brought what you wanted, but why did you shrink in the temple and keep silent?......
She shouted hard for a long time, but the only thing that responded to her was the cold wind all over the sky. Su Wen felt that she had been left out and was very angry, but she would never dare to let her enter this strange temple with blood-colored Buddha statues again. I could only wait outside the temple and stomp my feet, hoping that Liu Laosi in the temple would oversleep, smell the fragrance of sesame roast chicken, and get out by himself.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Lu Lie behind her let out a low exclamation, and that exclamation was a point of curiosity, three points of fear, and six points of incredulity. Su Wen turned his head, but saw Lu Lie staring at a large open space, in a daze as if he was facing a great enemy. The flat bluestone floor was reflected in Lu Lie's pupils, and it became a giant beast in the wilderness.
Su Wen couldn't help but laugh: "What's wrong with you? Looking at a vacant space where there are no debris, can you see your hair stand up?"
Lu Lie's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of incredulity: "It's because there is nothing that I feel strange...... Su Wen, do you remember that the blood Buddha statue that Liu Laosi threw at us just now was pushed apart by me in the general direction, right?
"It's just that, where are the detriments of that place running away now? Why did we go to the east entrance of the village to buy a roast chicken, this Liu Laosi, and a piece of debris, all disappeared clean and without a trace?"
After Lu Lie's reminder, Su Wen had just come back to his senses. She was still smiling as if she had found a treasure before, and the next moment, looking at the empty earth, she threw away the roast chicken and sat directly on the ground, her little face was so pale that she was almost dripping into the water.
Yes, where did all the fragments and Liu Laosi who was hiding in the temple go?
Could it be that after the two of them left, Liu Laosi rushed out of the temple with lightning speed, completely cleaned up the fragments of this place, and left here like lightning after doing all this, arranging a scene where nothing had happened?
Ordinary people can understand the absurdity and ridiculousness of the logic even if they think about it with their toes.
But if it weren't for Liu Laosi's ghost, how could he explain this clean and freshly paved earth? How could the fragments of this bloody Buddha statue disappear by itself, no one took care of it?
If such strange things happened in the Giant Tree World, it would be normal for Lu Lie to be commonplace. But now that I have woken up from my dream and returned to the real world without ghosts and gods, how did I encounter this strange thing that contradicts common sense?
Perhaps, this blood Buddha statue itself is a form of life existence......
Such a ridiculous conclusion was immediately rejected by him as soon as it popped into Lu Lie's mind.
He looked at the moonlight on the earth like mercury, and only felt as if countless buzzing strange laughter were lingering in his face, and one head was better than two people. Lu Lie stood in place, was silent for a long time, and said, "Su Wen, you wait for me outside for a while, I will enter this broken temple, and I will come when I go." β
Su Wen was already frightened at this moment, and grabbed Lu Lie to the ground: "You are crazy! This temple is abnormal, it must be abnormal at this moment! Who would worship this kind of evil god statue in the temple, and who would clean up so many pieces in such a short time......
"If you insist on going on an adventure, it's better to wait until dawn and bring a group of friends over to check it out, so it's safer......"
"No, I can't. Lu Lie didn't even think about it, and categorically vetoed, "There are many dreams at night." If I had waited until dawn, I don't know what had happened in this temple, and by then, the clues I was looking for might have been cut off long ago. To go, you have to go in now. β
What happened this night was simply more than the things that Lu Lie had encountered in the month since he woke up. However, the ferocity in his bones was stimulated, and he had a premonition that there was a secret hidden in this temple that might be what he wanted. And once he decides on something, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, he will have to go forward.
