Rat 14
As the flames on the corpse burned, the person in the burning flames looked like a monk who had completed his practice under the worship of the dead. Everyone also knelt down and worshiped the "monk" in the flames who had completed his merits.
"Will someone else die and become a living Buddha tomorrow?!" Fang Yu asked in a low voice.
The other three were kneeling at this time in order not to attract attention.
Nan Yu said: "It seems to be the case."
The flames burned the dead body, making crackling sounds, which did sound a bit uncomfortable, but fortunately everyone had experienced the cremation of the Living Buddha yesterday, so they had some experience this time.
"Brother, how do we find out the truth?" Fang Yu looked at the other three people, and it seemed that he was the only one who was anxious.
Nanyu turned around and said to him: "Don't ask so many questions, just wait."
"Then how long do we have to wait?" As time was running out, the progress of helping those dark shadows to seek justice was very slow. Fang Yu had already written his last words in anxiety and fear, but he wanted to die in such a strange place. It was estimated that in the end his body would become ashes like the one before him.
But at this moment, Yan Ke seemed very comfortable, and really looked like a Buddhist believer who was paying homage. He clasped his hands in front of his chest, closed his eyes, and prayed devoutly like the many pilgrims and travelers in front of him.
Gao Xu closed his eyes at this time, and didn't know what he was thinking about writing, but the anxiety and fear in his heart always lingered in his heart. For Gao Xu, the experiences of these days completely overturned his three views. As a scientific researcher, his work and life were completely different from everything in front of him, so that after many deaths occurred, his nerves were always tense. Now he can only follow Yan Ke and the others. Yan Ke looks difficult to deal with, but he is not a so cold-hearted person.
The reason is that Yan Ke can tolerate Fang Yu's nagging and his own hindering behavior. After seeing Yan Ke's skills, Yan Ke feels that Yan Ke is either a well-trained retired special forces soldier or a hermit master, and Nan Yu must be a martial arts master.
The flames continued to burn, but everyone's thoughts were flying in the rare quiet moment.
Yan Ke was observing his surroundings at this time. It seemed that the process was exactly the same as yesterday. This meant that he knew how the bodies of those who died at the beginning were dealt with. If the front yard kept repeating the scene of a certain day, it meant that the bodies of those people were most likely cremated.
However, Yan Ke was not in a panic at this moment. Instead, the truth was right within reach, but he could not find the key clues. This included the identities of the deaf monk, the acting host Xuankong, and even Miss Bai. His subconscious told Yan Ke that if he knew their identities, he would be close to the truth.
A gust of wind blew and the flames disappeared. The cremation ceremony was nearing its end. Several people dressed in monk's clothes came and picked out the relics from the ashes in full view of everyone. Seeing this, everyone continued to kneel down.
Gao Xu spoke up at this time: "Although I don't really want to say it, it won't burn into ashes, at least a lot of human bones will be left, and the outdoor combustion is not complete."
Nan Yu said at this time: "This won't pass the trial, so you are right. How could the relics be burned out? This is a question I didn't think of yesterday."
After the ceremony, everyone dispersed and fewer and fewer people stayed.
Yan Ke said at this time: "Do you still remember those pagodas under the Buddha Mother statue? The pagodas are full of relics. These relics may have come from this."
Yan Ke's words reminded everyone, and they instantly felt a creepy feeling. The relics here were actually burned in this way.
However, these pilgrims and tourists who appear every day have no idea the true origins of the relics they are worshipping. They are the wronged souls and resentful ghosts who died in the temple.
He has no idea what the so-called efficacy is now, but this is not important to them now.
At this time, several people want to find Xuan Kong to see what he is doing and what his identity is.
So they came to the hidden corridor behind the Future Buddha Temple again. This was the only place where tourists were marked as not allowed.
The dark truth beneath the green lights and red tiles was about to be revealed, but what no one expected was that when they arrived at this small room, they were stunned by the scene before them.
Because no one has been in the house for many years, it is already full of cobwebs. A corpse has already decayed and emits a foul odor. Whose corpse is this?
Nan Yu frowned, and Yan Ke did not move forward. Gao Xu and Fang Yu were stunned. They had seen dead people before, but this was the first time they had seen a corpse that was so badly decayed. After a while, the two of them staggered out and leaned over the railing to retch.
"The clue is broken?" Nan Yu put on his black mask again at some point, and Yan Ke covered his mouth and nose with his hands to signal him to go out first.
Nanyu nodded, and the two of them left the narrow and cramped room one after another.
"Why is there a body?" Nan Yu was extremely confused. Did those people change the clothes of Wang Zihan and Wang Qiang who died here? What about the spider webs and dust here?
Yan Ke said at this time: "We seem to be getting closer and closer to the truth. We can't find any trace of Xuan Kong, so we shouldn't waste time on him. Miss Bai's behavior doesn't look like a human, but more like a weird one. The little monk hasn't appeared since he led us into the temple. Now only the deaf monk and those who carried the corpse can provide us with some information."
"Those people only change into monk robes when they come here every day. Putting on casual clothes and blending into the crowd is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Clues are hard to find, and the backyard is shrouded in fog. How can we get there?" Nanyu expressed people's thoughts.
Gao Xu and Fang Yu were now lying weakly on the railing, as if they were under a lot of negative energy.
"Anyway, there are only about thirty hours left, so there is no need to take risks. But there is still a clue. She must have received some hint before, but we don't know. Let's go find Tian Yixin."
Yan Ke said firmly.
"Yes, the pendant of the Buddha statue is still in the girl's hand. I went to find her now. She told me that the condition for passing the level is to help those strange black shadows to seek justice. The magnetic field here is even disordered, so it is very likely that the pendant of the Buddha statue can give me clues in my dreams." Fang Yu quickly added at this time.
"It's not in vain that I read those novels and comics of yours." Gao Xu said to him sincerely.
"Yes, I have relied on the experiences in novels to get to where I am today." Fang Yu said with some pride.
"But you forgot that Tian Yixin separated from us yesterday, and we didn't see her this morning."
Nan Yu pointed out the crux of the problem, which is that now they have no idea where Tian Yixin is.
"In fact, if she intends to avoid us, we won't be able to find her for a while. The key is that at night, strange things will appear, so we can't move freely at night. Now our time has to be reduced by half." Gao Xu said.
"Then we can only wait, but we can go to the Buddha Mother Temple and wait. Since the clue is the Buddha Mother statue pendant, then the Buddha Mother statue in the main temple must be one of the key clues. Let's go and wait for Tian Yixin to show up." Yan Ke expressed his analysis at this time and was recognized by everyone.
At this time, Nan Yu looked at Yan Ke. This person was really smart, bold and careful. He was able to extract the most effective information when everyone was panicking, and he did not abandon the survivors Fang Yu and Gao Xu. This showed that this person had a cold exterior but a warm heart.
Nanyu looked around casually, but did not get Yan Ke's attention. The haze covering the temple seemed to have dissipated a little.
"In fact, I've wanted to say this a long time ago. [Bajie] won't restrict our actions. As long as we abide by the rules here and help those dead souls after getting clues, this level is not that difficult. The complexity now is that we encountered someone who didn't cooperate at the very beginning and wanted to take the reward for himself. I never thought that human greed and desire could be so limitless." Fang Yu said to Gao Xu when he came to his senses.
Gao Xu raised his eyes and said, "Actually, I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of people."
Yan Ke said to Fang Yu: "People also change, but being young is good. You've adapted so quickly, that's good."
"Ah!!" When will this kind of life end? Fang Yu roared in his heart. He missed his room, his parents and friends, fried chicken, hamburgers, malatang, hot pot, and gold medal private dishes.
Now he doesn’t know when he can get out, maybe he will never get out. If he had known this would happen, he would have finished the remaining half bottle of happy water.
Nanyu followed Yan Ke, took a look at the surrounding environment, and then continued to follow. In fact, he didn't like this place. There was only such a small place here, which was too small for Nanyu. He liked freedom. For example, he liked to lie in the grass in spring and bite the newly grown grass branches and leaves, then catch butterflies and run freely. He had long forgotten how long it had been since he had lived such a free life.
Just like the statue of Buddha Mother Prajna sitting in the Buddha Mother Temple, he is confined to a limited place and has to endure the harassment of all kinds of people. He is very annoyed, but at this moment he looks at the clear blue sky in the distance because of the rain. Reincarnation and death are the laws of time.
Separation and pain are also the norm in life. The countless creatures living between heaven and earth are bound by various rules and laws. But is it really good to linger in the world after death? However, there are many things in life that are worth lingering on. Whether it is love, hate, anger, ignorance, or resentment, hatred, and separation, they are all reasons that bind the soul and are unwilling to leave.
But when you are bound by these emotions and become an irrational, murderous and weird monster, will you regret your persistence?
Nanyu understands all these emotions, but he has never experienced most of them. He is always a bystander watching the world's various situations, joys and sorrows.
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Buddha Mother Hall. This was the many times that everyone had come to the Buddha Mother Hall. However, the Buddha Mother statue with four faces and eight arms, standing on a lotus, always looked down with compassion at the praying beings.
Will Tian Yixin really come to the Buddha Mother Temple at this time to get clues?
