Chapter 153 Luo Xi's Experiment
Chapter 153 Luo Xi's Experiment
Among all the people present, Luo Xi and the man with two knives stuck in his body were the most unlucky.
One of them was carrying the sins of a big-headed monk, weighed down and having difficulty moving; the other one had two knives piercing his chest, like a performance artist.
This man also has a nickname, 'The Immortal'.
It seems that the nicknames of the Memory Collectors here correspond to their occupational cards, but it is not known whether it is actually true. For example, the 'Immortal' in front of him, Luo Xi believes that the other party cannot be really immortal.
That would be tantamount to violating the basic rules of the Day of Confinement.
That is, death, cycle, and the inheritance of memory.
Although it is impossible to be truly immortal, one must be more resistant to death than normal people. Just like the fact that he is still alive and kicking after being pierced by two knives, it speaks volumes.
"Tell me, why are we so unlucky? We encountered the two worst interpretations of the fortune. You were burdened with sins, but I, oh, was able to avoid the bloody disaster. I turned back and practiced cultivation early. I was on guard against everything, but I never thought that I would still be stabbed twice. I am really speechless."
It can be seen that the undead has a look of helplessness on his face and is full of complaints.
"Well, if I get your interpretation, will I definitely get stabbed?" Luo Xi asked.
"Of course. The interpretation of the divination is bound to happen. It is a destiny, that is, it is determined by fate. So coming here has great benefits, but also great risks. Every time you worship Buddha, you have to pay for the card. If you can't make it to the last step, all the expenses will be wasted." After the undead finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Luo Xi: "I remember that the last few times I came here, I got the interpretation of your divination now, and it finally killed me. I suggest you give up, at least you can stop the loss in time."
"Then what will happen if I get seven interpretations and go to see the old monk?" Luo Xi asked at this time.
He was very curious about this matter.
“Haha, you don’t think that you can get seven solutions easily, do you? I see, this is your first time here, and you feel that the first few solutions are easy to obtain. You believe that even a monk carrying sins can persist until you get seven solutions. But I want to tell you that the truth is impossible. After three bells ring, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to get through the first one.” There was a hint of mockery in the eyes of the undead, but thinking about his own situation, he guessed it would be the same, and sighed again.
"The echo of three bells?" Luo Xi knew that this might be the key point in Youzuo Temple.
"Well, since neither of us can make it, I'll tell you about it. It's my way of helping the poor." The undead smiled, and perhaps because of his wound, his mouth curled up. After a while, he said, "There are actually only five places to worship Buddha in Youzuo Temple. That is to say, under normal circumstances, it is impossible to gather seven interpretations of the divination sticks. If you want to gather enough interpretations of the divination sticks, you have to find some hidden places to worship Buddha here. It is said that there is one hidden in the fog of Mihun Mountain."
Luo Xi knew this.
He had just walked out of the mist of the Mihun Mountain, and he had already triggered the Buddha worship point there.
"And to trigger the Bewildering Mountain Fog, you must have a corresponding interpretation, which is called: Zhongping, the clouds and fog cover the road in front of the mountain, and evil spirits hide in it. However, there are many types of interpretations for this fortune, and whether you can get this one depends on luck. But getting it is not a good thing. Once you enter the Bewildering Mountain Fog, it will be difficult to get out."
After a pause, the undead changed into a more comfortable posture, looking like a dying person.
"In addition to the bewildering mountain fog, there is another fortune telling that allows you to enter a hidden area, which seems to be a dry well. However, I have never been there. I have only heard that going down there is a high risk of death. Even if there is a place to worship Buddha below, it is best not to go. However, if you get the fortune telling, I am afraid you have no choice but to go."
"There are three bells ringing, and the first bell will ring soon. At that time, the weather will change, and the Buddha statues in the temple will come out and force the nearest person to exchange fortunes. Remember, they force them to do so. In addition, they may ask a question, and you must answer it truthfully. So do you know why experienced people stay here when the first bell rings? Because this is the place of Manjusri Bodhisattva, and this deity has a relatively higher survival rate. Do you understand now?"
How could Luo Xi not understand, and he knew that this information was extremely valuable.
I guess the other party knew that the two of them had absolutely no chance in this round, and felt sympathy for each other, so he said that.
"Thank you, Immortal Brother, for the reminder." Luo Xi thanked him and changed his posture, but it obviously did not do much to relieve the huge pressure on his back.
"No need to thank me. I've been here three times and haven't gained anything. Everyone knows that if Youzuo Temple is well maintained, we can make a fortune. I seem to have heard that there are clues to hidden professional cards here, but I haven't seen anything. I've lost money every time. Sigh, I won't come next time."
It can be seen that the undead is a little discouraged.
"Not really. Maybe things will turn around." Luo Xi said at this time.
This is based on his usual style of doing things.
Even if the King of Hell said he wanted to kill him, Luo Xi would find a way to fight back.
Never sit still and wait for death.
"Turning point? Ha, how about you exchange the fortune with me? Take my two knives in exchange?" The undead man pointed at the two sharp knife tips on his chest and asked with a smile.
"Sure." What the undead never expected was that Luo Xi actually nodded in agreement.
The other party was stunned.
After looking at Luo Xi for three seconds, he smiled and said, "Stop it."
"No kidding, would you really let me trade with you?" Luo Xi said sincerely.
At this moment, the immortal's face straightened, and then he looked at the big-headed monk behind Luo Xi: "If you use this to exchange with me, there is no point. Sin and blood disasters are recognized as death. Is it meaningful for me to exchange from one death to another?"
"I don't need to exchange this with you, don't worry." Luo Xi took out a lottery and handed it over: "I'll exchange it with this."
The undead man's eyes lit up when he saw it.
What Luo Xi took out was not the one that was plagued by sins, but another one. Although it was a bad sign, it was not the one that was generally recognized as the worst.
It is a bad fortune. You get treasure in the dream but nothing is there when you wake up. You think that the South Mountain is just a hoe.
Relatively speaking, it is much better than the average fortune he has, which means avoiding the disaster of bloodshed and turning back to the right path and practicing cultivation as soon as possible.
At least there is still a chance.
"You really want to trade with me?" The undead was a little bit unbelieving, wondering if this guy had a problem with his brain. He was already doomed to death by his sins, and now he even wanted to suffer a bloody disaster.
If he wasn't mentally ill, why would he be so determined to commit suicide?
"I just want to see what happens when the two worst interpretations of the fortune are put together." Luo Xi looked serious, but in the eyes of the undead, this guy is really sick, and his illness is not mild. But why not change?
If the other person is sick and looking for death, what does that have to do with you?
Moreover, no matter how the undead think about it, they will not lose anything as long as they make an exchange, but will actually make a profit.
At least I can get rid of this annoying 'Blood Disaster', so I still have a chance this time.
"Okay, you said it, don't go back on your word." The undead nodded.
Luo Xi smiled innocently: "Come, give me a hand."
The undead stepped forward, helped Luo Xi climb down from the tree trunk, and then walked towards the cushion over there trembling and shaking.
The actions of the two naturally attracted the attention of the people around them.
"What are they going to do?"
"I don't know. This pair of brothers in distress are really unlucky. They each got the worst interpretation. Could it be that they agreed to commit suicide?"
"Ha, no matter what it is, let's just watch the fun."
"But that undead is quite capable, and his strength is not weak."
Under the curious gaze of the crowd, the immortal helped Luo Xi walk to the Buddha worship point, and then each of them took out a fortune stick.
"Are they planning to exchange signatures?" Someone immediately saw the clue.
"They're all fucking dead, why are you still exchanging balls? Isn't that like taking off your pants to fart?"
"You say, are they going to exchange sin and blood?"
"Does that make sense? Changing from one way of dying to another?"
The actions of the two successfully attracted the attention of all the people present, and everyone gathered around and watched curiously.
"No way, what the undead handed over was really a bloody disaster, but what about that person? Wasn't he exchanged for his sins?" Old Jin was very surprised when he saw this. He felt that Luo Xi was crazy.
"Ha, I understand. The undead must have made this exchange with other costs, and the young man knows how to make up for the losses. I guess they reached a compensation agreement in private. The undead paid more cards in exchange for the other party taking over the interpretation of the bloody disaster. After all, we are going to die anyway, so what does it matter if there is one more way to die? We can also make a small profit, so we won't lose anything anyway." A smart man immediately thought of the most likely possibility.
"Indeed, that is the only explanation."
Everyone suddenly realized.
At this time, Luo Xi had already completed the exchange with the undead.
Luo Xi used the worst fortune, he got a treasure in his dream but nothing happened when he woke up. He thought that Nanshan was just a hoe, in exchange for the other party's medium fortune. The bloody disaster was avoided, so he turned back and practiced cultivation as soon as possible.
As a result, there were no worse fortunes in Luo Xi's hand, only medium and best fortunes.
After the Undead and Luo Xi exchanged fortune sticks, the two knives on the Undead's body disappeared without a trace. This naturally made the Undead ecstatic, and he felt as if he had been saved from a desperate situation.
"Brother, no matter what, I recognize you as my friend. Next time you need help, just tell me." The Undead said happily, and Luo Xi was also very satisfied: "You said it, you can't lie in front of the Buddha."
"Ha, of course, of course." The undead man was just being polite, but he didn't expect the other party to take it seriously. However, he also knew that he couldn't just promise others things blindly in this place, otherwise, he might really shoot himself in the foot.
And the next moment, Luo Xi was affected by the interpretation of the blood disaster sign.
Two knives suddenly appeared from behind him and stabbed down fiercely.
The effects of the fortune-telling cannot be avoided or evaded.
Of course, Luo Xi never thought about hiding.
With two "swish" sounds, the knife pierced into the body.
But it didn't stab Luo Xi, but stabbed the body of the big-headed monk Sin.
Because this big-headed monk was lying on Luo Xi's back.
In addition, this guy has a big head and a big belly. Because of the position, the two knives stabbed directly into the opponent's head and belly.
But none of them pierced.
The knife is not long.
Luo Xi had just observed carefully and estimated that they were two short knives with blades no longer than one foot.
As the big-headed monk had committed many sins, his head was big and his neck was thick. Luo Xi estimated that even if he could pierce his body, the blade that could pierce him would not exceed a few centimeters, so it would not be a big problem.
At worst, use an anesthetic to relieve the pain.
For Luo Xi, adding two kinds of death-predictions together at the same time is an interesting experiment.
He wanted to know whether Bloody Disaster's knife could pierce the sinful Big Head Monk, and whether the Big Head Monk would be stabbed to death by the knife.
Of course, there is another reason, which is because he had obtained the fortune-telling interpretation at the future Maitreya Buddha worship point when he was in the confusing fog.
A very good fortune, good times are just around the corner, a gentleman is coming out of the mountains
