Chapter 162: Another Cheated

"Hide over there!"

Lin Qiqi winked at Luo Xi at this time.

When the bell rang, all the Shiyi people were trying to find ways to hide. It was not that they would be safe by hiding in places where there seemed to be no Buddha statues, because these Buddha statues were very fast and could run as fast as a 100-meter champion.

And every time the bell rings, the effect is different.

When the bell rings for the first time, a relatively safe place is the worship point near Manjushri Bodhisattva. This is the experience that the people of Shiyi have continuously explored and summarized in the past.

Because when the bell rings for the first time, those big Buddha statues will not move beyond the area and will only move in a fixed area. That is, in one place, you can only encounter fixed big Buddha statues.

But from the second the bell rang, things were different.

The big Buddha statue is now available for you to visit.

This is definitely not a good thing for the Shiyi people, but there is no way, the rules are the rules. Because the benefits of collecting seven fortune sticks are huge, the Shiyi people will come even if it is dangerous.

The buzzing sound of the bell had an eerie charm, and many people could be seen moving away from the wellhead and the dilapidated wooden pagoda over there.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of small Buddha statues crawled out of the well.

The small ones are as big as a palm, and the larger ones are about as high as a human thigh.

"Why are there so many small Buddha statues down there?" It was the first time that Luo Xi saw such a scene and he was quite surprised.

Lin Qiqi was obviously not surprised: "You will know what's going on when you go down, but don't worry, most of these Buddha statues don't have mouths, eyes, or even facial features, so there is no way to ask questions."

Luo Xi suddenly realized.

If according to his previous understanding, all the Buddha statues can be used for "exchanging fortunes", "begging for alms" and "asking Buddha for answers" during the ringing of the bell, then if that were the case, with so many small Buddha statues, it would probably not be enough for all the people who came to collect memories this time.

In addition to the Buddha statues of various sizes crawling out of the well, something also came down from the wooden pagoda over there.

After a closer look, even Luo Xi was stunned.

It's a dragon!

Carved from wood.

But there was no doubt that it was a dragon.

"It is said to be one of the eight heavenly dragons. It is a auspicious beast. Whoever can meet it can make a fortune." Lin Qiqi said as he looked at the wooden dragon swimming down.

"What do you mean?" Luo Xi asked.

"This wooden dragon can only do one thing, asking for water or praying for rain. It carries water on its body. If you give it a bottle, you will get a fixed card, [Dragon Roar], which can scare away evil things, but it requires [mana] to activate it."

As Lin Qiqi spoke, she took out two bottles of water from the backpack on her back and handed one to Luo Xi.

It can be seen that she was well prepared.

The other people who recalled their past also looked at Mu Long eagerly, hoping to become the lucky one.

But at this moment, the ground shook, and then a Buddha head emerged from the dry well, followed by the body of the Buddha head, which looked like a giant centipede.

A giant centipede with a Buddha's head.

This combination is so weird that it makes your scalp tingle.

"Be careful, this is a Worm Buddha. This is the thing enshrined in the Buddhist temple underground in the well. Hide from it and don't let it target you." Even if Lin Qiqi didn't say the reason, Luo Xi could guess it.

Extremely dangerous, anyone who touches it will die.

But other places in Youzuo Temple are no safer than here.

Luo Xi could see another huge Buddha statue walking out in the distance. As the bell rang, there were even flying stone bats. It was as if when the bell rang, the originally solemn and dignified place suddenly became a horrible place with demons dancing wildly.

The scene at this time was quite chaotic, and even the most experienced memory collectors could only leave it to fate.

Some people are spotted by the little Buddha statue with a mouth, and they either beg for alms, seek answers, or exchange fortune sticks.

Luo Xi glanced at the position below, where several Shiyi people were running up in fear, and behind them was a two-headed, four-armed Vajra with a terrifying aura.

There is no safe place where the bells ring.

It’s just that Luo Xi was very curious.

"If there is a bell, there must be a bell, but where is the bell?"

During this journey, he had strolled around most areas of the Youzuo Temple. Luo Xi was different from the others. He did not just rush through the place. He observed every place and every detail and remembered them in his mind.

Some people may ignore and forget some things.

But he won't.

So it can be 100% certain that he has never seen the bronze bell along the way.

Without a bell, how can we explain the echoing sound of the bell?

I can ask Lin Qiqi about this question. She comes here often and should know some inside information.

As a result, Luo Xi pulled Lin Qiqi to ask questions, and the latter shook his head: "I don't know either. I haven't seen it. Speaking of the problem you found, others have raised it before, and some even came to look for it specifically, but no one has ever found a bell in Youzuo Temple."

"This is clearly not right."

"Yes, but here, there are many things that are wrong, and not every one of them can be answered." Lin Qiqi has obviously gotten used to it.

But Luo Xi, who suffers from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't stand this.

If you find a problem that is obviously critical and you don't try to find the answer, or if there is no irresistible force preventing you from finding the answer, then you must find out.

"Seven seven!"

"You said."

"How much do you know about the contents of the fortune?"

"A lot. What do you want to ask?"

"Is there any interpretation about sound, about bells and bell sounds?" Luo Xi knew that no matter how powerful the level scene was, it was designed by the 'administrator', and the core principles of designing the level scene were 'rationality' and 'fairness'.

That is to say, if you design a mechanism, then there must be a reasonable explanation and provide 'clues' for the memory collector, or the player of the scene.

The administrator cannot design a puzzle that has no solution at all.

The bell is a mechanism, and currently, it is used to reduce the number of people who are collecting memories in the scene.

Not to mention the Buddha statue monsters that were awakened by the bell, just talking about the bell sound, since it was designed, the sound could not have appeared out of thin air.

And the thing called "clock" must be crucial.

Because if it is not important, there is no need to "hide" it.

This is somewhat similar to the meaning of "there is no silver here", and even deliberately "hiding" the clock prop is already clearly telling the people who come here to recall the past that the "clock" is very important, so I hid it. If you want to find it, you have to spend some time to find it.

Lin Qiqi said that there was indeed content about bells and bell sounds in the interpretation of the divination, and she remembered some of it.

"The best fortune: the evening drum and morning bell are a place of peace of mind, and the spirit of Zen drifts into dreams; the average fortune: the sound of the bell in the ancient temple can predict good or bad luck, and fortune and disaster are interdependent in one thought; the worst fortune: the evil spirits are the source of six thieves who demand your life, and your chance of survival lies in the person who rings the bell. These are the three interpretations of the fortune: the bell and its sound are related." Lin Qiqi said with certainty.

Obviously, she had thought about exploring the bell sound from the fortune interpretation, and might even have actually explored it, but obviously to no avail.

"I have only heard of these three interpretations, but I have never actually drawn any of them myself." Lin Qiqi meant that it was simply unrealistic to figure out the secret of the bell sound at this juncture.

Luo Xi naturally knew what she meant.

But it is best to obtain the interpretation of the fortune so that you can actually understand the specific effects. But even if you have never obtained it, you can still get a glimpse of the true meaning from the content of the interpretation of the fortune.

Otherwise, why bother designing these complicated words to describe the interpretation of the fortune?
"Dream field? There are dreams in Youzuo Temple? Good or bad, when the bell rings, everyone thinks it's a bad thing, a great disaster, but there are also good and good things hidden in it. As for the person who rings the bell, he may be a 'character' here, or he may be the one who collects memories."

Luo Xi was quickly analyzing the three-sentence interpretation.

Because he was too focused, he didn't notice the changes in the surrounding situation at all.

"Be careful." Luo Xi felt someone pulling him.

It’s Lin Qiqi.

After she pulled Luo Xi away, she moved and switched positions with Luo Xi, and almost at the same time, a huge centipede body with a Buddha head on top appeared behind her.

Lin Qiqi felt tremendous pressure. She glanced at Luo Xi and pinched the back of Luo Xi's hand.

"What are you daydreaming about? Go!"

After saying that, he pushed Luo Xi.

The terrifying pressure brought by the huge centipede Buddha head scared all the Shiyi people away. They wanted to get as far away from it as possible. They obviously thought that the short-haired girl was dead.

Because in the past, all the people who were caught by this insect-Buddha had no chance of survival.

Not only that, the way of death is also extremely terrifying. Even though people know that they can be resurrected on the next cycle day after death, no one is willing to try to be killed by this insect Buddha. It can cause an indelible psychological trauma to people.

Lin Qiqi turned around and faced the Insect Buddha.

She had no choice but to face it.

But it was obvious that the Insect Buddha was targeting Luo Xi. She saw it, so she exchanged positions with Luo Xi at the last moment.

It was obvious that he was planning to die in his place.

Of course, Luo Xi couldn't just stand by and watch.

He stepped forward almost instantly and pulled Lin Qiqi back forcefully.

"Stop arguing, just go together." A strange voice came from the head of the Insect Buddha.

When Lin Qiqi heard this, she looked at Luo Xi angrily, and her expression almost overflowed with the words "Are you sick?"

Before, it would be enough for one person to die, but now, two have to die.

Luo Xi smiled and pulled her behind him.

In the moment when Lin Qiqi was stunned, looking at Luo Xi's back, she had an unprecedented feeling. It was hard to describe this feeling, but it made her heart beat faster.

I couldn't help but smile, a mixture of surprise, emotion and self-confusion.

Because in the past, she was the one who protected others, and no one had ever protected her.

This is the first time.

"It's pretty cool to die like this!" This is the only thought in Lin Qiqi's mind now.

At this time, she noticed that Luo Xi was holding a card in his hand behind his back, and the next moment, the card disappeared.

Activated!

"What is he going to do? Attack the Insect Buddha? It's impossible for him to succeed. Or is he trying to use some other ability? But any ability is ineffective in front of the Insect Buddha. It's just a waste of resources."

At this time, Chongfo's question had already been asked.

"You two tell me, how can I become a Buddha?"

This question is almost a fixed one.

Why is it said that being caught by the Insect Buddha means certain death? It is because the question it asks every time is the same, which is "How to become a Buddha?"

Become a Buddha? Who the hell knows?

If he knew, he wouldn't have to suffer in the human world and would have been reincarnated on the day of imprisonment.

Many people have said the answers in the past, from different angles, containing Buddhist principles, some profound Buddhist scriptures, and some people even brought out the Taoist practice formulas.

Trying to fool the insect Buddha.

But the end was the same without exception, a tragic death, one more tragic than the other.

When a worm-Buddha kills someone, it does not kill him all at once. It will first bite him, paralyzing the person so that he cannot move. However, the person still has feelings, can think, see, speak, and even shout, but he cannot move.

Afterwards, it will drag the person back to the Buddhist temple underground and eat him or her bit by bit.

It is said that the venom of the Insect Buddha has a very strong paralyzing effect. A person who is eaten will feel his body being bitten to pieces bit by bit. Even a person with a strong mind cannot bear that feeling.

Anyone killed by Chongfo, even if he has not gone mad or mentally ill, may never dare to come to Youzuo Temple again.

Lin Qiqi has already started waiting for death. She knows how she will die. She may say that she is not afraid, but in fact, she is scared to death.

But the next moment, Luo Xi said a few words to Chongfo.

"Hey, hey, listen to me and don't be obsessed.
There are no shortcuts on the road to Buddhahood, and mantras are just jokes.

Close your eyes and meditate, and let go of your worries between breaths.
Do one good deed every day to accumulate merit, and you will be content if you love Buddha in your heart.

Don’t be entangled by greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt. Let the light of wisdom illuminate your heart.
All things are empty but not empty color. Only when you realize the truth can you find freedom.

Reflect on yourself in the morning and evening, and save the world with compassion.
If the mantra really has miraculous effects, there would be no need for ascetic monks in the world.

Remember, hahaha, the purpose of cultivation is to achieve a higher level of enlightenment.
Let go of your obsessions and your heart will be at peace. You will be able to take each step firmly on the road to becoming a Buddha. Don’t forget to laugh and recite the mantra 80,000 times in your mind!

When Lin Qiqi heard this, her legs went weak and she thought to herself, Brother Xi, you're about to die and you're still making up this jingle to fool this insect Buddha. You simply don't know how to write the word death.

She had even imagined the scene of the Insect Buddha becoming furious.

Thinking of the pain and despair brought by having her body eaten bit by bit, even she felt her whole body tremble.

As a result, the next moment, the centipede Buddha actually asked: "Really?"

"With your wisdom, can I scare you?"

"That's true!"

"Always, just trust me, remember, smile, smile!"

“Haha. Hahahaha~”

Lin Qiqi was dumbfounded, her mind went blank at the devilish laughter of Chongfo.
