Chapter 10: Day 2 (3)
Is it because I have had some special experiences before, so I am so afraid of loneliness?
Tang Xuan seemed to be able to feel her thoughts, he felt that they were the same kind of people, after a certain special experience, a certain obsession gradually formed in his heart, so he had this unique sense of loneliness, and in some ways it can be called persistent.
"I'm much better......"
At this time, Tang Xuan's mind flashed the face of another girl, and he gently pushed Wang Ling away and said, although he was still a little unable to exert his strength, this push was still extremely resolute.
Wang Ling was with tears in the corners of her eyes at the moment, and when she was suddenly pushed away, she was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly wiped away her tears and smiled unnaturally: "Are you okay?" It scared the hell out of me, and all of a sudden you were like you'd be in a frenzy, and it was terrifying......"
Tang Xuan only felt weak and weak, but compared to the pain of death before, he only felt as if he was in heaven at this moment, and he smiled bitterly: "Thank you so much, just now I am fortunate that you have been ...... Keep helping me breathe, or I'd have suffocated a long time ago, if I had been suffocated in that case...... I guess I've been a corpse by now. ”
Wang Ling's expression had also returned to normal, and she said gently: "Actually, I just want to thank you, if you hadn't saved me, I really don't know what would have happened to me...... What just happened? Is it some kind of illness for you? ”
Tang Xuan shook his head, he didn't know how to describe the situation just now, at that critical juncture of life and death, he only felt that there was some kind of restraint in his body that had been unlocked, the kind of will that transcended the physical body, every bit of strength was used to the limit, and there was no wild instinct of pity and fear, if he had to describe it as a phenomenon, it was very similar to an animation called "seed" that he had watched, and at the most critical moment, he exploded the "seed".
Just this sequelae......
Fortunately, this pain came and went quickly, Tang Xuan felt that his strength was gradually recovering, and at the same time, that wild feeling was gradually leaving him.
Standing up and looking at the pedestrians pointing around, Tang Xuan hurriedly pulled Wang Ling up in desperation, and helped each other to a small path next to him and continued to walk up.
"Looks like there's something in this temple." Letting Wang Ling help him towards the top of the mountain, Tang Xuan's face began to smile bitterly.
Wang Ling nodded a little silently and looked at the top of the mountain.
As they got closer, the complete appearance of the temple gradually came into view of the two. The whole temple is not dilapidated, but it is full of a quaint charm, which is a feeling of age.
Walking into the main hall, they carefully observed the gate and the top pillar, but unfortunately Tang Xuan and the others did not see anything famous. But I inexplicably have some confidence in my heart.
Something like ghosts and weirdness should be better dealt with by an ancient inheritance. Although those things in the real world are feudal superstitions, when they come to this place where ghosts exist, the two can't help but associate with the rumors.
Wang Ling reverently found the presiding officer of this temple, but unfortunately, the presiding performance of this temple was no different from that of the masters in the previous four shrines and temples - there was no trace of the two of them being entangled in curses and grudges, but instead they recited scriptures to them.
Watching the time gradually pass, the mood of the two became more and more incomparably worse.
Impossible, if there is nothing special here, then how can the pink pajamas retreat in the mountain gate?
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Tang Xuan's mind, and he suddenly asked, "Master Presiding, may I ask if there are masters with profound Buddhism here, or capable people, or any objects they have left behind?" ”
The presiding officer also looked like a kind old man, he pinched the white beard at his chin, thought for a moment and replied a few words, and pointed to a wooden sword hanging from the door with a red rope and sighed.
"This ancient temple was originally built by local residents a long time ago. However, due to the war in the early years, many ancient books have been lost. As the donor can see, after the economic development trend in recent years, this place has long been dilapidated, and there are few people. But if you want to talk about people who are different...... Well, there is really a person, he is a Taoist priest, but he came here a year ago and said some strange things, and left a mahogany sword claiming to be looking for someone destined......"
Tang Xuan hurriedly asked again: "Then host, dare to ask where that Dao Leader is now?" Did anything strange happen there at the Kaizi Mountain Gate? ”
"The Taoist chief is no longer alive, and it is said that he offended the local underworld force Yamaguchi-gumi, and his limbs were twisted when the body was sent. That's a miserable look, it's completely human. However, when it comes to the open word mountain gate below, there is indeed a strange thing, which is also related to the Taoist chief at that time. For some reason, the chief insisted on burying his body here. Now, his ashes are buried under the gate of the open word. ”
The host couldn't help but sigh again when he said this. And Tang Xuan and Wang Ling glanced at each other, they already understood what was going on, what kind of underworld forces did this! It seems that the Taoist is indeed a person with real skills, even his ashes can restrain the weird, and even he himself has already fought with the curse body, although he missed a move and lost, but after defeat, he still has the means to send his body out. It's just that this made Tang Xuan's initial hope half dashed.
The two of them also sighed a few words with the host, and then Tang Xuan stepped forward and said straight to the point: "Host, may I ask how the peachwood sword left by the chief can be regarded as fate?" ”
Coughing lightly twice, the host recited a Buddha name meaningfully, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, all living beings have a fate with the Buddha, but there is a definite number of dependent origins and extinctions." ”
Tang Xuan was just about to continue to ask, but Wang Ling reacted first and asked first: "Hello host, since we have fate, we are going to offer some incense to the Buddha, I don't know how much incense is needed to make up for this last bit of 'fate'?" ”
The host rubbed his hands with a smile: "The donor has a heart, since this is the case, then the old man will temporarily turn the fate for the Buddha and make up for this little defect." The donor only needs to put 88,888 yen into the merit box. ”
This...... And so it was......
While breathing a sigh of relief, Tang Xuan's face also had a crying and laughing expression, and then he quickly exchanged a gold bar worth 50 points and handed it over.
This was discovered when the bank exchanged points for the currency of this world, and the in-game currency could be exchanged directly for rare ores that could be valuable in any world. And because of the value conversion formula, the economic value of some rare ores can far exceed the cash directly exchanged for game currency. For example, in the world of grudges, 50 points can be exchanged for 90,000 yen, but the gold bars can be worth at least 120,000 yen.
Not surprisingly, the host's attitude immediately changed after taking the gold bar and biting it lightly with his teeth, and after the weight of his hand was turned upside down, the originally indifferent look on his face instantly became pleasantly surprised, and he hurriedly called a small novice to bring an envelope over and handed it to Tang Xuan, inside was a copper coin tied with a red rope.
"This is another relic left here by the Taoist master at that time, and it is said to have the function of warding off evil spirits...... Since the two of you are related to the Buddha, you might as well bring this back as well, and maybe you can get some blessings as well. ”
The copper coin looked like it had cracks of all sizes, and the gossip notches on the copper plate had been eroded by time to the point where they were almost invisible. But the moment he got his hands on this copper coin, a strange warmth spread to his body, and at the same time, he felt that the repressive feeling of being targeted in his body became extremely light, as if it was weak and inaudible.
Tang Xuan turned his head, his gaze collided with Wang Ling, and his eyes became firm.
"We can live, we can!"
