Xiong Lake.
Under the night cover, the lake completely turned into a deep black, like the eyes of the earth. No light could penetrate the lake.
Under the cover of this dark lake, no one can guess what is hidden under the water.
Looking at the majestic lake, one immediately has a feeling that oneself is also soaked by the lake water and is about to suffocate.
The lake is surrounded by lush water and grass,
There are some tower houses scattered in the distance, and near the lake, you can see the tents set up by shepherds.
Su Wu led the horse and walked by the lake. The horse walked all the way and felt a little thirsty. From time to time, it wanted to stretch its head to drink the water in the lake.
He pulled the horse closer and closer to the lake.
Guang Quan in front turned his head, saw Su Wu's movements, and immediately shouted in a low voice: "Don't go near any water source at night, even a small puddle!"
Upon hearing the other party's warning, Su Wu immediately grabbed the horse's reins and pulled the horse away from the lake.
Then Xiang Guangquan asked: "Why, what is in the water source at night?"
"You were also born in the Hidden Realm, and you don't know this?" Guangquan glanced at Su Wu doubtfully, looked him up and down, curled his lips, and said, "It seems that your parents took you for granted.
It's so well taken care of that it makes you forget where you actually live.
After the creatures in the Secret Realm died, some of their flesh and blood were picked away by the vultures in the sky, and their souls also ascended to the sky and became clouds in the sky;
Part of it is deposited in the soil and gradually decays,
Their souls return to the lakes and water sources everywhere.
I don’t know how many people’s souls have accumulated in such a big lake. If you go to the lake to drink water, the souls at the bottom of the lake will watch you.
During the day, the sun's light covers everything,
They dare not come out from under the lake,
It's different at night,
You're lucky, just someone reaches out from the lake and touches your ankle,
Unlucky, some soul wants you to play with it, so it grabs your ankle and drags you completely into the lake.
You will be dead!"
The lake water contains the souls of countless creatures?!
Su Wu looked at the pitch-black lake in front of him, which even light could not penetrate, and suddenly felt a refreshing feeling in his heart.
The suffocating feeling is even stronger!
He saw Guangquan swearing these words, and even though his rational mind still felt that this statement was extremely ridiculous, he thought of the current hidden realm, which was an abnormal world, so he kept his maximum concern for the lake water at night.
vigilance.
“On March 7th in the Year of the Yin Wood Snake, the souls in the lake water will float.
At this time, all the weirdos everywhere will be restless.
——The abbot’s trick was found and tied up on this day.
Calculating the time, there are only two years until the next Year of the Yin Wood Snake. By then, if you are still alive and if you are not afraid of death, you can lie down by the water tank and observe." Guangquan added.
A few sentences.
It mentioned that the deceased Venerable was tied to the sheep-headed female body, with its abdomen split open and its intestines dragging the ground. This was the day when the soul floated in the lake and the strange creatures in the secret realm were restless.
Found and tied to completion!
Su Wu listened to Guangquan's words,
I feel like I can no longer look directly at any water basin or water tank.
Who knows if there are a few souls submerged inside, looking at their ignorant and ignorant self across the water?
"We have arrived at Xiong Lake,
Where to go next?" Su Wu asked Guangquan and directly changed the topic.
"Go to the front."
Guangfa stretched out his hand and pointed forward. Following the point of his arm, you could see the outline of a tower house in the darkness. He said: "The Venerable's confidant, the Discipline Monk Guanghai, has already taken a step ahead of us and arrived near Xiong Lake."
Zhawa Village went to find Buddha.
The elders of the East and West Houses will also send people to the villages near Xionghu Lake to look for fake Buddhist disciples.
When Guanghai finds the Buddha, he will send it to us immediately, and we will take the Buddha back to the temple. He will stay here to intercept the people in the east and west courtyards.
As long as we take the Buddha back to the temple, everything will be settled."
Buddhist disciple, or false Buddhist disciple is just a title.
Whoever is sent to Wuxiang Zunneng Temple first will be the future sage, and the other one will be a bold hypocritical Buddhist!
At present, the elders of the East and West Houses and the powerful figures of the Venerable line maintain a superficial balance to prevent the internal fighting from becoming too fierce and causing the overall strength of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple to weaken.
They each sent out their confidants to compete,
Once the intensity of competition exceeds the limit, the leaders of both factions can stop it in time to prevent the situation from deteriorating further.
And because the result of such a competition is the result under the rules jointly established by both parties, there is no real winner or loser, and everyone can accept this result.
only……
Su Wu frowned and said, "Wouldn't the people from the East and West Second Academy take action to intercept Master Guanghai first?
What should we do then?”
"Even so,
Guanghai will also send us signals.
We can still go to his aid in time." Guang Quan obviously considered this and nodded.
Hearing what he said, Su Wu felt relieved.
Su Wu's role in this matter was not big. He only assisted Guang Quan, Guang Hai and the others. If something unexpected happened, he would definitely run away first if he saw that something was wrong.
He has set himself the goal of this simulation - to learn as much as possible about the situation of the various factions in Wuxiang Zunneng Temple, so as to pave the way for him to re-enter this dungeon later and compete for the position of Buddhist disciple of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
.
You can even spend a few more simulation opportunities to experience the life of a monk with different roles and gain a huge amount of 'knowledge'.
Be sure to understand all aspects of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple,
Make sure that after you become a Buddhist disciple of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple in the future, you can smoothly take back the authority of the abbot, allowing you to set foot on a higher starting point and get the opportunity to enter the Snow Mountain for further study!
The two led the horses and approached the blockhouse wrapped in darkness.
The outside of the blockhouse is painted white, which is not the black paint seen from a distance.
Tie the horse to the stake next to the fort and small temple,
Guangquan took out the key from his pocket and opened the temple door.
The two mastiffs following behind them rushed into the dark temple. After a while, the two mastiffs came out of the temple, and nothing unusual was seen.
"Go in, the temple is safe." Guang Quan looked at the performance of the two mastiffs, nodded, and walked into the temple.
He blew a fire starter and lit the oil lamp in the temple.
He added a few matches to the furnace built next to the wall, lit a small stick on the oil lamp, and stuffed it into the furnace.
The firewood slowly burned,
The temple is getting warmer.
Su Wu sat down against the furnace wall, and the black and red ghost mastiff that rarely made any sound lay down next to him. This mastiff gave off a fishy smell that would make people sick to their stomach.
I don't want to have any more contact with it.
Ghost mastiffs are dogs that look for ominous things.
In addition, it always smells fishy, who would be willing to have more contact with such a dog?
But Su Wu saw Guang Quan sitting opposite, stretching out his hand to scratch the chin of the snow-haired mastiff. The snow mastiff stuck out its tongue and licked Guang Quan's face from time to time, making Guang Quan laugh.
Looking again at this ugly dog leaning carefully against Su Wu with calm eyes,
He sighed and hesitantly reached out and patted the ghost mastiff on the head.
The ghost mastiff seemed to sense his kindness and rubbed his forehead against Su Wu's palm, making a sound of enjoyment.
He is a dog that is easily satisfied... Su Wu thought to himself.
The hot flames in the furnace gradually warmed Su Wu's stiff hands and feet, and dried the dew on his clothes.
Baked by the warm breath,
Guang Quan was a little dazed. Soon he would pick up the water bag and take a sip of water, and soon he would go to the toilet outside.
——Based on his relatively thin body shape, as well as his polydipsia and polyuria, Su Wu judged that Guangquan might have diabetes.
But this is just his guess,
There are no modern instruments for confirmation.
This time, not long after Guang Quan drank the water, he patted the head of the snow mastiff lying on his lap, motioned it to move its head away, then stood up and said to Su Wu: "I went to the toilet outside, if anything happens, you can
Call me."
"Yes." Su Wu nodded lightly,
Watching the snow mastiff go ahead, he led Guang Quan out of the small temple.
A gust of cold wind blew into the temple, mixed with the moist atmosphere of the lake nearby.
The faint sound of water sounded in the darkness. Covered by vegetation, the large lake not far away seemed more peaceful and mysterious.
The sky outside the temple is dark blue, and I don't know when it will get dawn.
Su Wu looked at the dim temple outside,
There is no need to close the door of the small temple just because cold wind blows in from time to time outside the temple.
When Guangquan went out to use the toilet, he would open the temple door and observe what was going on outside. If something bad happened, he would respond immediately.
In the distant grass, the snow mastiff barked fiercely for a while.
This dog barks often. It seems that something in the grass has startled it again.
The barking stopped within half a minute.
There was a rustling sound coming from the grass.
Guangquan's tall and thin figure emerged from the grass, with the snow mastiff leading the way in front of him.
call!
A man and a dog approached the temple gate, and a gust of wind suddenly blew over them.
Su Wu couldn't help but tremble all over.
"Woo--" The snow mastiff stood at the entrance of the temple, its back hair slightly raised, staring at Su Wu and the ghost mastiff who got up, showing a rare unfriendly attitude.
what happened?
Su Wu frowned and looked at the ghost mastiff in front of him.
He moved aside calmly.
Something's wrong with the ghost mastiff?
Looking at the snow mastiff's warning eyes, Su Wu secretly guessed.
But as he moved his position, the Snow Mastiff turned towards him again, making a low threatening sound from its throat.
——This dog doesn’t seem to recognize him and the ghost mastiff anymore?
"Awang, what's your name?!
Don’t you recognize him?” Behind the snow mastiff, Guang Quan scolded him.
The mastiff relaxed after hearing the sound, walked into the small temple angrily, and curled up next to the stove instead of lying down in its previous position.
Guangquan sat down next to it,
Then he stood up again and took back the water bag from where he originally sat.
Looking at the movements of the man and the dog, Su Wu was thoughtful.
"Master Guanghai." Su Wu suddenly spoke and called out to Guangquan.
"Um?"
Guangquan turned his head when he heard the voice,
looking at him,
After a moment, he frowned: "Did you shout wrong?"
"Why,
I'm too nervous.
I have been thinking about assisting Master Guanghai, but I called your name by mistake.
Uncle Guangquan." Su Wu said apologetically.
"Don't be too nervous." Guang Quan smiled and said, "When the time comes, you just need to follow me."
"Yes, uncle." Su Wu nodded in response.
But my heart sank.
He had always called Guangquan his uncle before, and he acquiesced to this title.
But now he calls him uncle, and he doesn't react at all!
Even just now,
When he was called 'Master Guanghai', he was stunned for a moment before he realized that he had called him by his Dharma name!
Guangquan was stunned for a moment,
His face was full of smiles in response to the title of ‘Master Guanghai’!
He actually couldn't remember whether he was Guangquan or Guanghai?
There is something strange in this!
Su Wu's thoughts were racing in his mind, but he remained calm on the surface.
He approached the ghost mastiff beside him.
The muscles all over the Ghost Mastiff's body were tense. Su Wu looked at it for a moment and saw the fear in its eyes!
——This dog also noticed something was wrong,
it is very smart,
No on-the-spot barking reminder!
In comparison, the Snow Mastiff just showed that it didn't recognize him and the Ghost Mastiff. I'm afraid it was no accident!
