Chapter 77 The White-haired Man and the Black Buddha Statue



The Buddha statue is covered in mycelium, which, like delicate veins, adds a mysterious aura to the statue. Perhaps they are traces of time, or perhaps they are the work of nature, blending seamlessly with the statue, imbuing it with a sense of life.

In this misty wonderland, the Buddha statue stands like a sage, quietly guarding the land. Its smile seems to contain endless compassion and wisdom, bringing a sense of tranquility and peace of mind.

The sun shone through the clouds, shining on the Buddha statue, making it even more dazzling. At this moment, time seemed to stand still. They were shocked by the solemnity and beauty of the Buddha statue, and a sense of awe surged in their hearts.

The Buddha statue on this cliff was perhaps not only a work of art, but also a symbol of faith and spirituality. However, when Lu Nanyao and the other three looked at it, they felt it looked familiar, as if they had seen this face somewhere before, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

In short, if you stare at it for a long time, you will feel a bit of evil, and you don’t know what the purpose of this thing is.

The fog began to dissipate visibly, which might have been related to the appearance of the sun. Blore even felt that the Buddha statue was smiling at him.

The path along the cliff was like a winding ribbon, tightly wrapped around the steep mountainside. The eight people lined up in a row, carefully following the wall. Their pace was slow. Given the current situation, there was no time to rush, especially for Blore, who was at the front. After all, no one knew if the path would collapse halfway through their journey.

On one side of the path was a bottomless cliff, on the other a towering mountain peak. A thick white mist enveloped the entire cliff face in a mysterious atmosphere. A gentle breeze whipped the mist around, bringing a chill down on the air.

I was lucky enough not to encounter any strange things blocking the road, nor did the road collapse. Although it was a bit difficult to walk on and took a long time, I didn't encounter any major accidents.

Finally, Blore reached the end of the road. He breathed a sigh of relief and slumped down on the ground, breathing heavily. He looked back and saw that the road was really steep from below, with rocks falling from time to time.

"Huh, I finally got down. But do you know what that Buddha statue is? I don't know much about it." Ma Tuan also followed Blore and simply lay down beside him.

"I haven't seen it either. Anyway, it seems that few people where we live believe in this." Nan Song wiped his sweat, wiped the stone, and couldn't sit down.

"What about Bai Di? It seems like you live in a big city." Ma Tuan turned over and looked at Bai Di.

"I'm not sure, but I don't think anyone outside would carve mycelium in front of a Buddha statue." Bai Di recalled it, but he didn't have any impression of it.

Now we are finally in a safe place, and we can finally say what we didn’t dare to say before.

"It looks familiar to me." Cyclamen also found a stone and sat down.

"Is it true?" Ma Tuan didn't quite believe that there really was such a strange-looking Buddha statue out there.

"No, don't you think it looks a little familiar?" Jiu Yizhi also felt strange.

"Forget it, forget it. Maybe we met somewhere by chance? What about Weijun? Do you have any impression of him?" Lu Nanyao asked him.

Lu'e shook her head, suddenly stood up and walked towards Blore.

At the same moment, Blore stood up and took in the beautiful view. Below the cliff lay a dense forest, lush green trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers. Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of light on the ground. He took a deep breath, taking in the beauty of nature.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. It feels like there is a paradise down here." Ma Tuan also noticed the beautiful scenery in front of him.

"I have no idea what's going on now. I don't know how we got here. What should we do next?" Nan Song looked ahead and found that there were large clusters of mushrooms in the forest ahead, some of which were even half the height of the trees.

"I'm not quite sure, but there seems to be something under that mushroom?" As he said that, he pulled Blore and ran straight towards the target.

Blore was in a daze when he was suddenly pulled by Ma Tuan and almost fell. Fortunately, Bai Di, who was next to him, helped him, and the three of them ran away together.

"Where have you been?" Xiankelai suddenly saw three people running away and became curious.

"They will be back. I'll tell you when they come back." Nan Song said perfunctorily.

"Xiaojiu, do you want to leave?" Xiankelai deliberately prolonged his voice and slowly looked at Jiuyizhi.

“………” Jiu Yizhi said that he didn’t want to say anything.

"If you want to see it, go ahead." Lu Nanyao said indifferently.

"Forget it, let's wait for them to come back." Jiu Yizhi suddenly didn't want to go anymore.

So the three of them stumbled forward.

The forest was incredibly dense, a blanket of emerald green. However, beneath the treetops, a different scene unfolded. Mushrooms of all sizes dotted the landscape like stars, seemingly the masters of the area, filling every inch of shade.

These mushrooms aren't the usual colors, but rather a lifeless gray with a hint of metallic texture. They range in size and shape. Some are covered in black spots, and even more astonishingly, these spots appear to grow and spread on their own.

Beneath some mushrooms, a tiny black figure sits cross-legged. This figure is incredibly small, barely the size of a thumb, sitting quietly beneath the mushroom, seemingly blending in with its surroundings. Even more bizarre, its body is covered in white mycelium, making it appear even more eerie and mysterious.
