Chapter 156: Hiding Snake
Chapter 156: Hiding Snake
"Seventh brother, since you helped him, you can go and ask him what he said to Manjushri Bodhisattva, and why he left without saying goodbye? Don't tell me you are simply doing a good deed?" In front of the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Hall at the back, Duxie was very puzzled.
What she has always valued is "benefits". If someone can help her, she will get close to him, otherwise she will stay away from him. If killing the other person can benefit herself, she will do it without hesitation and will not recognize any relatives.
"Do we have to get something in return for helping others?" Brother Seven asked back with an indifferent expression.
She is like this most of the time, as if she sees through everything and doesn't care or pay attention to anything.
"Isn't it? You don't really think there are such niceties in this world? Ha, it's childish, but that's not like you, my seventh brother!" The Scorpion narrowed his eyes, looking gentle, with a coquettish tone, but in fact he was already dissatisfied in his heart.
"Of course I will ask for a reward, but not now. By the way, including this one, we have obtained six interpretations of the fortune sticks. If we want to collect seven, we must open the hidden area. Relatively speaking, the Dry Well Buddhist Hall is more suitable for us, but we need to exchange for the corresponding interpretation of the fortune sticks."
At this time, the Seventh Brother took out her six fortune sticks and looked at them.
Surprisingly, several of them got good luck.
Apparently, she was lucky.
"You don't need to change the fortune sticks for the Dry Well Buddhist Temple. I have them here." The Poison Scorpion smiled charmingly and pinched out a fortune stick with his fingers: "Let's go together. I'm afraid to go alone."
"Are you scared? Ha, did I hear a joke? But Scorpion, you are indeed scared, and you are a little abnormal today. Your soul is a little swaying, and the color is flickering. You are nervous. Why are you nervous?" Seventh Brother suddenly asked at this time.
She still had that cold and indifferent expression that seemed to see through everything.
The scorpion was stunned.
Then he covered his mouth and smiled: "I forgot, Brother Qi, you are a soul peeper. Others' strengths and weaknesses, even their mood changes, cannot escape your eyes. Speaking of which, your eyes are the most beautiful, just like gems, and gems are precious and rare, so many people want to possess them. Oh, by the way, Brother Qi, didn't you say you love me very much? So, can you lend me your eyes?"
"What?" Brother Seven was stunned, and the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his arm as if it were pricked by a needle.
She immediately took a few steps back, with disbelief and more surprise in her eyes.
On the opposite side, the scorpion laughed, and there was an "apology" look on his face.
"Does it hurt? Brother Qi, you're actually pretty good. I've been very happy these past few days with you, but as the saying goes, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. You love me so much, you definitely won't blame me, right?"
Seventh Sister had a painful expression on her face, and she felt that she had lost all feeling in her arms.
The scorpion venom is spreading rapidly.
And there was already another person who was thinking of memories walking over with a sneer on his face.
She took a look.
I know that the other party's nickname is "Mystic", a very senior master of memory recovery, who is said to have preserved memories for more than a hundred cycle days.
A hundred-day cycle is a standard used by some true masters to measure their strength, or it can be said to be a threshold.
Only when you have completed the cycle for more than 100 days can you be considered truly worthy of their attention and have the initial ticket to enter the "circle of experts".
However, she did not know much about this "mystic master" because judging from the strength of his soul, his strength was greater than hers. She would never take the initiative to provoke someone who was stronger than herself and would avoid them if possible.
Being able to see through the other party's strength is all about "seeking benefits and avoiding harm".
The situation is now very clear. The Scorpion has teamed up with the Mystic to plot against me.
But the problem is, in Youzuo Temple, attacking each other is not allowed, so how did they do it?
"You attacked me? That's impossible." Cold sweat broke out on Brother Seven's forehead. He felt pain and numbness, which showed that he had been deeply poisoned by the scorpion venom.
But if the poisonous scorpion attacks him, he will be immediately punished by the gods and Buddhas for violating the rules of Youzuo Temple.
Judging from the look of Scorpion, she was not punished at all, which means that she did not break the rule.
"I did attack you, but not in Youzuo Temple. I attacked you before entering Youzuo Temple. Oh, Brother Qi, I forgot to tell you that I have an ability card called [Paralysis Needle]. I stung you before and blessed you with [Paralysis Needle] at the same time, so you can only sense it now. What do you think? Isn't my ability cool? Don't you like cool feelings the most?"
The Scorpion is still very gentle, like a virtuous woman who is honest with her loved one.
But what she said was cruel and vicious.
"Oh, by the way, my poison, combined with the mystic's [Marionette], can make you dig out your own eyes. How about that? We have perfectly circumvented the rules of Youzuo Temple, and you, not to mention that you have no ability to resist, even if you did, would you dare to do it?"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense with her, and don't wait for others to come and ruin our good deeds." The mystic smiled. The other party was a gloomy young man with narrow eyes and a hint of ferocity.
As he said that, he took out the card.
But at this moment, the short-haired girl, Brother Seven, suddenly activated a card.
"What's going on?" The Scorpion and the Mystic were stunned for a moment, and when they looked again, Seventh Brother was gone.
"Chase her! She's been poisoned and can't run far." Poison Scorpion had a ferocious look on her face. She had poisoned him this time deliberately in order to strip Seventh Brother of all the good things. If she let him run away, not only would she lose everything, but she would also be retaliated by Seventh Brother.
You know, Brother Seven is not someone you can easily mess with.
"She entered the Ksitigarbha Hall." The mystic was also a master. It was not safe for them to run to other places, and they could not escape. So, it was very likely that the other party took advantage of their trance just now and escaped into the hall nearby.
I want to play a dark game.
But this trick is nothing in front of a real master.
But when the Scorpion and the Mystic entered the hall, they found no one there. They only saw majestic Buddha statues, sculptures, and murals, which were dead objects.
In addition, there are three huge bronze mirrors placed behind the Buddha statue, which are said to be the instruments used by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to supervise hell.
"Is it really not here?"
"Hurry up and chase her. She has been poisoned. She might faint at any time. Don't let others get away with it." The two of them rushed out of the hall immediately.
There is no mobile phone signal in Youzuo Temple.
But I can still check the time. More than forty minutes have passed since I came in.
Luo Xi bore the sins of the big-headed monk and would occasionally meet his resentful eyes.
"Does it hurt?" Luo Xi asked for some unknown reason.
It was just a casual question, but I didn't expect the sinful monk to actually nod.
"Hey?"
Can this guy understand what he is saying?
This discovery surprised Luo Xi and immediately aroused his curiosity.
The sinful monster formed by the fortune sticks turned out to be intelligent. It could even communicate, nod and shake its head, and maybe even speak.
"It hurts, but there's nothing I can do about it. Who told you to lie on top of me? If you didn't lie on top, you wouldn't get the surgery, and you wouldn't feel the pain. There's a cause for every effect." Luo Xi muttered. He had now walked to the Buddhist temple on the right, which was the place for worshiping Samantabhadra Bodhisattva.
After worshipping this, there will be six interpretations of the fortune.
In this way, you can also trigger the worship point of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the back, and all seven interpretations will be complete.
But for Luo Xi, obtaining the seven interpretations of the fortune sticks was not the real purpose of his visit to Youzuo Temple this time.
"I came here because of the address hidden in the numbers. The puzzle that guy left behind wouldn't be without purpose. This must be part of a plan. Moreover, he obviously looked down on me and was testing me."
Luo Xi looked up at this time, and it was as if there was a huge eye in the air looking at him, with scrutiny, like the look an adult looks at a child.
It was as if an invisible voice was asking him.
"Can you solve this problem? I don't think you can do it with your ability!"
Full of sarcasm.
This made Luo Xi very unhappy.
So he had to solve the puzzle. Therefore, the seven-log solution had no appeal or value to him. He just wanted to solve the puzzle.
"The clues he left behind were in the following order: he became a memory collector, and then after a cycle, he asked Xu Lin to make a bowl of noodle soup that could cause memory fragments and severe headaches, thereby leading to the painkillers. In addition, there was a digital code address left on the medicine box, and these pointed to Youzuo Temple."
"So, either the answer is hidden here, or it's another link in the sequence of clues."
"No matter which one it is, I have to figure it out. Otherwise, the whole chain will be broken and the truth will be hidden."
To be honest, this kind of thing is actually very risky.
The risks that Luo Xi was talking about were directed at his former self.
That is the 'Luo Xi' who left these clues.
If you ignore any link in the entire chain, then there will be no follow-up, no matter how many ingenious back-up plans the other party has, it will be meaningless.
Of course, this problem can actually be avoided, for example, by setting up multiple clues to be connected in series.
But the problem is that Luo Xi didn't notice it.
Either it was not discovered, or it was not set at all.
Because of the sins committed by the big-headed monk, even if Luo Xi was blessed with some powerful state, it was still impossible for him to be as light as a swallow like a normal person. So when he walked to the worship point of the Samantabhadra Buddha Temple, there were already several people there.
You have to queue up to worship Buddha.
First go to the merit box to exchange for Buddhist incense and fortune sticks.
When Luo Xi went to get the things, he took a look at the donation box and then went to queue up.
The other people in Shiyi subconsciously avoided him.
Now, even in the eyes of these experienced and experienced people, Luo Xi behaved too strangely.
The fact that he was not dead despite bearing two terrible fortune-tellings and was still alive and kicking was beyond description. The most bizarre thing was that he was able to survive the fatal question of "Who am I?" from Manjusri Bodhisattva.
What everyone was thinking at the time was whether this person knew the correct answer.
But after analyzing it later, I knew it was impossible.
Because there is no correct answer to this question at all, and the correct answer does not exist. The other party was able to survive because of other reasons.
This is very weird.
Normal people stay away from weird things.
This time the worship went smoothly and Luo Xi got the sixth interpretation.
Bad luck, evil thoughts are like snakes hiding in the dark, once they break out, they will bite people's hearts
