Chapter 10 Leaving the team, batteries, black cats
............
I woke up.
In front of me is the familiar tent roof. I am back.
It seems that Yanshi is not deceiving people, and the pollen of the giant flower is indeed the key to leaving the Source Prison.
"You're awake." As soon as I got out of the tent, I saw the team leader chatting with the others.
"Hmm." I answered.
"I told you just now that you didn't wake up, and I'm worried about whether I'm sick." The team leader nodded: "It looks like it's fine." ”
Almost something, actually.
I slept in the tent and I had a sore back, and I don't know if it was the reason for going in and out of the source prison. I'm missing the steel bed in my cabin a little.
"Subodhi!" The route mage who stood on the side and talked all night. "Since it's okay, why don't you start here?"
It seems that they couldn't wake me up, and they were going to ask the routing mage to help - the routing mage is really busy.
So we packed up our things and said goodbye to the small electric music temple.
In the early morning, before the cold had all dissipated, we wandered aimlessly in mid-air, and we lined up in a long row and continued our march towards the Holy City.
According to the team leader, if you go faster, you may be able to reach the outer city of the Holy City tomorrow.
I was still at the back of the line, holding the black cat. The routing mage was also at the end of the line, still silent.
"Routing Mage." I accosted, "You have a one-night discussion with that Buddha, can you gain anything?" ”
"Nature." It says. "Yu is called the bodhisattva's benevolence, and the poor monk's Dharma experience is some, and the poor monk has been satisfied."
Well...... Sounds like nothing to gain.
"By the way," I asked again, "have you ever heard of 'Source Hell'?" ”
The Routing Master paused, then resumed his journey: "Where did the donor hear about this?" ”
"In a dream." I replied honestly.
"Oh, no wonder." Master Lu was silent for a moment and said, "The Source Hell is actually a wrong and biased statement. To be precise, it should be the 'Source Boundary'. The poor monk learned from the Buddhist scriptures that the source realm is the source of life in all worlds. There is a way: at the beginning, the origin of the spirit, there is a spirit to be born, absorbing all things; Later, the spirit came out of the source realm, traced all over the thousand worlds, and lived endlessly. However, extraterritorial ......"
The route mage suddenly fell silent, and forcibly stopped talking.
To be honest, I didn't understand it.
But I felt that I might understand later, so I secretly wrote it down.
The black cat yawned, jumped out of my arms, flipped into my backpack behind my back, and fell asleep on my stomach.
I heard that cats can sleep twenty-four hours a day, but I don't know if it's true.
I did see black cats sleep almost all day when it was raining, though. Is this a racial talent? I usually can't sleep when I want to, when I'm not sleepy.
The route mage seemed to have something to say to the leader, so he quickened his pace and went to the head of the group.
Around noon, the team stopped for a break.
The team leader told everyone that Venerable Lu had some insights after listening to the Dharma, and was recommended by the Buddha master of Xiaodianyin Temple, and planned to leave the team and go to another Buddhist holy place to study, and then go to the holy city for further study after completing the study.
Everyone expressed their understanding, after all, although the routing mage gave everyone a lot of help along the way, after all, it was only a peer relationship, and it was very reasonable to leave the team to seek a better future.
The main thing is that if you think about it, the routing mage seems to - in fact, he didn't help everyone......
Oh, that's fine, let's go.
So the mage left the group and headed in the other direction, while we continued on to the Holy City after a short rest.
However, there was a slight downside to the departure of the route mage - no one could provide accurate orientation when approaching the Holy City.
Because the routing mage is a robot, it can receive signals from nearby temples to locate them. It is said that in the holy city is located one of the sacred places of Buddhism, Daiden-ji Temple.
The small electric sound temple is its branch temple, and it belongs to is.
Master Lu gave me a book before taking it away, and the cover seemed to be "Diamond Sutra", but the pages were worn and damaged, and the content was difficult to distinguish.
Master Lu said that it had already obtained an electronic version from the Ushu Bodhisattva, so the physical version was useless, so he gave it to me, and it should be given to someone who is related to the Buddha as a souvenir.
What do I have to do with the Buddha, do I dream of a fight between a monk and a plant in a dream?
However, I still put it in the side pocket of my backpack, and if I ran out of hot water and firewood at night, it would be in a hurry, wouldn't it?
Diligence and thrift are worthy of me.
Continuing to walk, on the way, I encountered a large wild battery bush, stretching for dozens of miles, and there were green batteries all the way.
Because they are wild, most of the batteries are half-baked, and everyone is too lazy to pick them. And this thing is too common, and the quality of the wild is not good. Most of them are a little deformed, and the electrical appliances are happy to use it.
But they were a little too luxuriant, and the wires that made up the rhizomes stretched out, and a small battery from the top bent over - a bit of a way to obstruct the view.
And it's easy to dangle and pump our faces.
I'm starting to envy the doctor, he has a mask, and he looks very good.
I don't know where the doctor is now.
After walking a little further, I noticed something was wrong.
Hey...... Where's my black cat......
Because the clutter of the battery cluster was so annoying, I didn't notice that my backpack was lighter for a while.
"Where's the black cat?" I didn't leave the team to find the black cat, because I knew that the black cat might find me if it got lost, and I wouldn't be able to find the team if I lost it.
Did you go foraging?
To be honest, I don't know what the black cat eats every day, and the recipes seem to be all over the wasteland, from shadows to fires, from black smoke to points of light, as if anything strange can enter her mouth.
But she never touches the water that ordinary people drink, and she doesn't seem to be interested. And I don't like to go out on a rainy day, and I seem to hate the feeling of wet hair on my body.
Why is that? As an animal, how can you survive without drinking water?
This is probably the unsolved mystery of the wasteland. Although I have never seen sheep, big-eyed beads, or butterflies drinking, I think they live by drinking water.
Well...... Are big-eyed beads considered animals?
After a while, we crossed the road that covered dozens of miles of battery thickets, and finally saw the open wasteland again. Just then, the black cat appeared, sprang out of the battery bush next to me, and joined me.
Sure enough, they can find me.
I was very wise in my decision not to leave the team to find her.
I saw some red scum on the side of her mouth, which looked like tiny fragments of something. What is it?
The black cat scurried up to me, and I picked it up and brought it to my face, intending to take a closer look.
As a result, the black cat noticed my movements, quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his paws, and then licked his paws - the unknown traces disappeared.
Not...... Very suspicious.
"Everyone!" At this time, the team leader shouted loudly in front: "The front is about to cross the cloud stream!" Let's find a flat place to set up camp, let's rest for the night first, and then set off tomorrow! ”
Ah, before you know it, it's getting dark.
My companions and I worked together to set up the tent while pondering about the black cat.
Saying...... What is Yunjian?
