The three people walked around the statue of the Ghost Mother, but did not find the ten-direction ghost-burning lantern that Empress Feng mentioned, not even anything that looked like a lamp.
Then they searched this layer carefully again, but still found nothing. For a while, the three of them even began to doubt whether the so-called Shifang Ghost Lantern really existed.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zijing couldn't stand it at first. If that thing didn't exist, they wouldn't be able to find it even if they turned the place upside down. If they couldn't find it, it would be Wu Dazhi's life.
"Uncle Hu, there is no way for us to continue searching like this. In your opinion, where will that thing be?"
Wu Dazhi also felt guilty. After all, in such a ghost place, if you wait a second longer, the danger seems to increase.
"It seems we have to find that Xie Rusi first!" Hu Xue stared into the dark distance for a while, then sighed and said, "I guess she took away all the seven treasures of the Ghost Mother!"
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing looked at each other. It was clear that what Hu Xue said was very clear, but they just couldn't understand it. Why did Xie Rusi take those things away? What good would it do to her?
"Let's go!"
Ignoring the doubts of Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing, Hu Xue stood up and walked towards the dark distance. In fact, he didn't know what was waiting for them ahead.
The three people walked forward in silence. No one wanted to break the silence first. When things got here, everything became extremely obvious. Xie Rusi's arrival was basically to resurrect the ghost mother.
What the three of them did together before was just to help her complete this task faster and better.
"Shit!! That stinky bitch, don't let me see her. Next time I see her, I'll beat her every time!" Zhou Zijing finally couldn't accept that he had been tricked by a woman and started to curse loudly.
Wu Dazhi looked back at Zhou Zijing, feeling a little helpless. He naturally felt bad after being tricked by others, but what really made him feel bad was that he was actually helpless against the person who tricked him around.
The deeper they went, the brighter it seemed. Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing couldn't help but look at it twice. It didn't matter, it really shocked them.
"Hu Xue, this is... what is this?"
Zhou Zijing pointed to the two rows of human figurines standing like maids in the corridor.
"Maybe it's a pottery figurine, maybe it's similar to the flying apsaras in the temple..."
Hu Xue glanced at the various human figurines and spoke lightly. But before Hu Xue finished speaking, Wu Dazhi, who had just stepped forward to check, shouted loudly.
"This is not a pottery figurine!"
"Not a pottery figurine?"
Zhou Zijing and Hu Xue both frowned. It seemed that things were worse than they imagined.
Not daring to think too much, Hu Xue and Zhou Zijing hurried to Wu Dazhi's side and carefully observed the "pottery figurines".
All these pottery figurines had their eyes slightly closed, as if they were asleep. Each pottery figurine had a satisfied smile on its face, as if they were waiting for something happy to happen.
The body hair and skin of the "pottery figurines" are not rough soil at all, but extremely elastic skin.
Hu Dazhi touched the skin of those pottery figurines and then touched his own face. A kind of fear suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.
At first, the "pottery figurines" the three of them saw were men. As they went further, the "pottery figurines" turned into women. After that, they were shaped like children. Finally, at the end, they turned out to be women holding hands.
Holding the baby.
Wu Dazhi and the three of them looked at each other in confusion. What on earth does this mean? The shapes they had seen before were related to the Ghost Mother, but they were all ferocious and terrifying existences.
But what you see in front of you gives people a feeling of rebirth. Hu Xue stood in front of the "pottery figurines" for a long time and stared at them. Suddenly he shouted something bad, which frightened Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing.
They were about to ask Hu Xue what happened, but before they could say anything, they saw Hu Xue dashing forward.
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing didn't have time to think about it, so they quickly followed him.
I don’t know how long I ran, but Hu Xue in front finally stopped. Strangely enough, he was obviously in a cave, but what appeared in front of everyone was a forest.
Although they only took one glance, Wu Dazhi was already sure that walking through this forest was where the hot spring they were looking for was located.
This underground forest is indeed very different from forests in other places. The trees are unusually tall. They don't seem to grow in a place without sunlight like underground, but rather like they grow in a place with plenty of sunshine and abundant rain.
To be honest, if this forest didn't grow in this place, it would really give people the feeling of an ancient and sacred tropical rainforest. Surrounding the forest is a circle of bright light.
There was no natural light coming into the Ghost Mother's dojo, and the three of them tacitly understood that this mysterious light should also be a "miracle" created by the Tantric spell.
The three people walked slowly toward the forest, but with every step they took, Wu Dazhi could feel that the forest seemed to be rejecting him, and a mysterious force seemed to be constantly pushing him out.
Wu Dazhi glanced at Hu Xue and Zhou Zijing. Both of them also looked suspicious. It was obvious that they had also encountered such a problem.
"What's going on?" Zhou Zijing shook his fat fish-like head and transformed into a hundred thousand whys.
Wu Dazhi ignored Zhou Zijing and continued to move forward. The further he went, the more he could feel the "qi". However, it was different from the things he encountered in the Ghost Mother Dojo before. This time, he could clearly feel
, although this forest is resisting itself, it is not malicious.
Just when Wu Dazhi hesitated, a purple light shone faintly in his pants pocket, which was almost negligible compared with the twinkling light of the forest.
But this tiny light did not escape Hu Xue's eyes. He stared at Wu Dazhi's trouser pocket for a while, then suddenly walked to him and took out the purple crystal from Wu Dazhi's trouser pocket.
Hu Xue just took out the purple crystal, and the crystal seemed to be alive, slowly floating in the air little by little.
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing looked at everything that happened in front of them with their mouths wide open. Although everything they encountered since they came here can be described as a miracle, what happened in front of them was still beyond their acceptance range.
Neither Wu Dazhi nor Zhou Zijing, not even Hu Xue, have ever heard of such a existence in Buddhism. If a Westerner were brought in from outside, he would definitely say loudly, wow! Look at our magical Western magic.
, your Eastern magic is extremely weak.
After a long time, when the small purple crystal completely merged with the light of the forest, Hu Xue came back to his senses.
"I heard before that the Jesus of Western Catholicism is worshiped as an Arhat in Tibetan Buddhism and Esoteric Buddhism. Now it seems that it is true. Those Western magics probably came from Esoteric Buddhism."
Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing nodded. They had also heard about Hu Xue's statement. It was said that Jesus did travel to Nepal and Tibet, and that Catholic teachings did contain many Buddhist ideas.
Doctrine can be used for reference, and magic can also be learned secretly. Thinking of these, Wu Dazhi couldn't help but sigh at the greatness of the ancients.
When the light of the purple crystal completely disappeared, Wu Dazhi felt that the resistance of the mysterious forest had disappeared.
"Go in and have a look!" Hu Xue was the first to enter the mysterious forest without waiting for Wu Dazhi and Zhou Zijing.
