Chapter 34: The Ascetics

"Brother Qin, are we still alive?"

Just as Qin Ling and the land lord were interjecting there, Ma Dong's voice suddenly came from behind them.

Looking back, Ma Dongzheng was examining his body in disbelief.

In his memory, in order to protect the dying Su Yun, he had obviously been photographed half to death by the Buddha statue.

Even if he doesn't die, he is estimated to be crippled for life.

But now, he doesn't have any wounds on his body!

"It's a long story, but it's all right now." Qin Ling didn't bother to explain, "It's good to take a short rest, it won't leave you with sequelae." ”

Ma Dong nodded, tried to clench his fist, and the soreness in his muscles was swept away-

It seems that it should be with the help of Qin Ling that the energy in his body has also been restored to the best state.

Looking at Su Yun, whose breathing gradually stabilized, Qin Ling cautiously reached out and gently touched her forehead.

Some hot.

No wonder I haven't seen her wake up for so long, it turns out that she has a fever.

Qin Ling sighed and said, "Brother Ma, I'm afraid I'll trouble you next, take Su Yun out of here first." ”

"What about you?"

"I continued to explore. Rest assured, if there is danger, I will definitely leave as fast as I can. ”

Ma Dong nodded.

That's fine.

With him and Su Yun here, Brother Qin seemed to be restrained, and there was no way to play his full strength.

I'm afraid that if I can't get rid of the enemy, I will be dragged down by the two of them.

"Okay, if you put a hundred hearts, I will definitely take care of the eldest sister and wait for you to come out of it."

Before leaving, Qin Ling took some of the monster's plasma and applied it evenly to the door frame and eaves to ensure that the breath of this ghost thing would not disperse for a long time-

In this way, other strangeness in this temple will not be discovered.

Leaving from the drum tower, Qin Ling ran straight to the deepest part of the temple.

After advancing for about a few minutes, a huge lotus pond appeared in front of Qinling's eyes.

The lotus pond is in the shape of an ingot, with a profound meaning.

But strange to say, Qin Ling found that there were almost hundreds of yellow, blue, and purple token holders in the vicinity through the double pupils strengthened by the system, densely scattered everywhere.

But no matter how he searched, he couldn't see half of the figure except for the system prompt.

"Where have all the people gone?"

Qin Ling looked down and found that the water in this lotus pond was actually blood-red, and it looked like human plasma.

However, this "blood water" is very clear, and it can reflect the moon in the sky and the flowers in the water.

"No, since this water is not blood, why is it dyed red, it looks too abrupt." Qin Ling carefully analyzed, "The appearance of red blood in the lotus pond is either frightening or ......"

"It's giving people some kind of hint."

Qin Ling stretched out his hand and gently poked it at the surface of the water with his fingertips.

The water instantly rippled with microwaves, and layers of ripples rippled out in all directions.

The reflected moon shadow also trembled slightly.

"The flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, is it taken from the mirror flower and the moon in the water?"

Thinking of the special abilities of the evil spirit, and the Zen classics once said: "Buddha nature is like the moon in the water, it is not desirable to see."

Qin Ling instantly realized.

According to Buddhist teachings, if we cling to the illusory as true, it is like looking at the shape in the mirror and fishing for the moon in the water.

In the end, it's just a matter of nothing.

Only by seeing through the mirror can we achieve the realm of "breaking through the red dust".

"I see."

After figuring it out, Qin Ling directly plunged his face into the lotus pond and let the "blood water" wash his eyes.

When he looked up again, he looked around.

Only then did Qin Ling realize that there were actually people standing around him, and they all looked dull and blind, swaying their bodies slightly with the wind, and humming something stupidly.

"I am a tree, guarding the frontier against wind and sand."

"I'm a pig, fat and ready to be slaughtered."

"I'm a ......"

……

Seeing this, Qin Ling suddenly understood something.

Because these guys didn't eat the bowl of "human meat rice noodles", their bodies were eroded by neurotoxins.

When they came to the lotus pond, they happened to be frightened by the blood-red water, which successfully served as a key trigger point for their psychological suggestion.

So...... All of them were fascinated by their minds.

As everyone knows, the real antidote is the insect-like "soul pulling", as well as the extremely rare high-grade medicinal materials that have been put in this pool of water-

"Brown Rhino".

The combination of the two is the complete antidote.

So there is no "exploration of the red dust", it is just a trap.

Qin Ling quickly looted all the tokens from the enemy's body.

Suddenly, Qin Ling noticed that less than a hundred meters away from him, there was actually a sound of steady footsteps.

Someone's coming!

Qin Ling looked at the token in his hand, gritted his teeth, and threw them all into the lotus pond.

And he himself quickly found a place to hide.

"Boy, the other party's strength is not as strong as yours, why do you want to hide?"

The land lord was a little puzzled.

"Since he is not as strong as me, even if the token is in his hand, it will be easy to snatch it back." Qin Ling sneered, "But there are too many dangers ahead, if we don't take the lead in front and act as bait, wouldn't we have to expend a lot of energy to explore?" ”

"If you have a ready-made pathfinder, you don't have to do it yourself?"

After hearing this, the land lord couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's still you kid, I really didn't expect this level of cunning." ”

As he was talking, the baseball cap boy appeared in front of Qin Ling's eyes like a stunned blue.

He looked extremely nervous, his legs shaking.

When he saw the glittering token in the lotus pond, his first instinct was not to take it for himself, but to show an expression like "living a ghost", and ran forward in shock.

This is in the hands of Qin Ling.

He hurriedly followed, wanting him to "clear mines" for himself.

However, before he could get far, the boy stopped.

The next moment.

A thin old man, who was not wearing an inch and covered his sensitive parts with a narrow strip of cloth at most, held a narrow triangular iron fork in his hand, and walked towards the young man with a fierce attitude.

Qin Ling instantly thought of a word.

Fakirs.

Legend has it that this ascetic practiced naked all year round, either without eating or drinking for several days, or standing on top of iron thorns, to punish himself.

The reason why dervishes do not wear clothes is also because they worship Lord Shiva, pursue the primitive state, and stay away from the mundane, and they often smear a layer of ashes on their bodies, symbolizing sin, death, and rebirth.

"You...... Who are you! ”

When the young man saw each other, he was immediately frightened and cried out loudly.

The dervish opened his hollow, eyeless eyes, bared his big yellow teeth, and smiled strangely at the boy.

No one could see exactly how he made the move.

The next second.

The young man's face was hideous, and he fell straight down.

Looking at its bloodless cheeks, it was obvious that the ascetic had sucked the essence, and the dead could not die anymore.

"This ascetic is also an evil spirit."

Qin Ling suddenly regretted it.

If Su Yun is called back now, will she be able to become a big help for herself?

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry!
