He was tying the rope tightly to a pure gold lotus lamp, swinging it over his head, aiming, and throwing it towards the hole above...
Ouyang Rong felt that if this was really a prank played on him by someone using a hidden camera to take pictures of amateurs, then the way everyone would get to know him soon would probably be by adding this set of ominous opening words to their meeting.
"I'm telling you, I don't care if it's a vulgar prank, a ghost sleeping in bed, or a real pure land of bliss... No one can stop me from going back to take the postgraduate entrance examination!"
Ouyang Rong squatted on the edge of a lotus stone platform and lowered his head, muttering with dry lips. His eyes were staring at the golden lotus lamp in his hand, and he was carefully tightening the knot.
This is a claustrophobic underground palace, with some faded murals faintly left on the four walls, and a half-meter-high girdle and upturned rosette placed on the ground in the center.
Otherwise it's empty.
The only light source is a circular hole in the ceiling ten meters above it, about the size of a manhole cover.
This seemed to be the only exit from the underground palace. A beam of gray moonlight slanted down from it and fell on the young man squatting on the lotus pedestal regardless of his appearance.
"I have been preparing for the war from 4am to 10pm for a year. I am about to go to the battlefield this weekend. Do you think you can trap me by falling into a well? Not even the Buddha's well! I tell you, it is impossible!"
"Why did the donor insist on going his own way? After finally ascending to this pure land, he did not fall into that Abi Hell again."
Judging from the last few frames in his memory, he probably slipped and fell into a well that lacked a cover in the temple.
At this moment, Ouyang Rong was standing in the moonlight, and the slender girl's slender eyes leaked out from between her arms, watching him silently.
Actually, the question is about the sentence "There are waves that do not drown the mountains and fields... there are evil winds that destroy everything", but, forget it...
finally!
At that time, Ouyang Rong didn't talk nonsense. After downloading it, he turned around and left immediately. The time of postgraduate candidates is precious.
The monk still couldn't bear it, and the Buddha sang a reminder: "Namo Amitabha, donor, if you go up there, you will be eaten by evil things immediately."
He was not alone in this claustrophobic underground palace.
Ouyang Rong scanned the three strange-looking people again. He didn't feel like they were taking the postgraduate entrance examination, but he still couldn't help but mutter: "You really don't want to go out?"
Glancing at the slender girl who remained silent, Ouyang Rong decisively turned his head and began to throw golden lotus lamps into the round hole above.
"Don't go out looking for death." Old Taoist Heyi Qiu also sneered, then paused, "If you want to die, don't take us with you."
Ouyang Rong raised his head, raindrops hitting his blue eyelids.
So that night, Ouyang Rong used a motor, gears, chopsticks and rubber to build a physical connector. He placed it and his mobile phone on the bedside table and started to scan the merits. He leisurely memorized the words and fell asleep listening to the Great Compassion Mantra.
.
Ouyang Rong checked the knot one last time, licked his peeling lips, and jumped up on the lotus pedestal.
There was silence for a long time.
He did some research on the way back and quickly figured out this little application.
"I remember that before I fell, there were two incense burners trying to cheat coins next to me." The young man taking the postgraduate entrance examination analyzed calmly.
A sitting monk, very tall, piled there like a hill.
The posture was a little inelegant, and it made him blush a little in front of everyone, especially in front of the girl in Hanfu.
But what was very strange was that when Ouyang Rong woke up quietly, he found himself lying on his back on the cold and hard lotus seat at his feet.
Donors who don't use krypton gold can only be crazy. Although Ouyang Rong is still hesitant in abandoning the vocabulary in the postgraduate entrance examination, his hands-on ability has been a full-level human since he was a child.
Ouyang Rong was originally a postgraduate entrance examination dog in World War II. The examination was about to take place. When he was diving in a small group called "The Gentlemen's Postgraduate Entrance Examination Group (Girls are not allowed to enter)", he heard from the group friends that there was a Donglin Temple in the suburbs.
The two businesses of praying for marriage are very skilled. Every year, many people come from all over the world to fulfill their wishes...
"Can not Go Out!"
What was trembling... was the entire underground palace, and him.
The thrown golden lotus lantern was 'untied' and slipped back, falling with Ouyang Rong, who was temporarily deaf, and fell back to reality again...
The lotus lamp he picked up now, he didn't know whether it was real gold or painted with gold paint. After weighing it, it seemed to be quite valuable.
If it weren't for this irrefutable proof, I would have almost believed the lies of the withered monk and the old Taoist priest He Cloak Qiu.
When I woke up so early, I saw that I was an old graduate student. I didn't forget to brush up on the questions even after queuing up... Ouyang Rong sighed. Just as he was about to take out his mobile phone, a young monk pinched a QR code between his fingers and poked him.
In front of the nose, ask him to scan it.
"If I fail the exam, it will indeed be hell." Ouyang Rong nodded and turned around.
Is it a pancake, you guys?
Moreover, a circle of white gauze was wrapped around his forehead, as if wiping his forehead, covering a large bruise, which was still aching slightly at this moment.
Just now at the place closest to the entrance of the cave, he not only heard the roar of mountain torrents and the howling of strong winds, but also faintly heard... the wailing of many people.
"Knock the electronic wooden fish, accumulate cyber merits, receive mechanical blessings, ascend to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, and meet the Mecha Buddha, right? I'm familiar with this." Ouyang Rong was quite confident.
Not far behind him, the haggard monk with a calm expression made another gesture of pointing one finger to the ground and the other to the sky.
Ouyang Rong was frightened and quickly hugged the rope in his arms tightly.
Not long ago, he tried shouting for help, but he didn't know whether it was because the underground palace was too deep or because it was dark and no one was around, so there was no movement outside.
Ouyang Rong's upper body was still hugging the rope tightly without letting go. He raised his head and stared at the round hole that was as big as a manhole cover.
Click on this merit tower, which mainly contains an electronic wooden fish and a blessing clock.
There is no hole that cannot be dug out, only postgraduate candidates who can climb it!
However, Ouyang Rong did not act immediately after taking the chicken blood injection.
His mobile phone and down jacket were all gone, and he couldn't find them even after searching the underground palace. They were replaced by an unfamiliar white sweatshirt.
There was also a girl who hugged her knees and buried her face. She was already slender, but she was wearing an ancient Chinese skirt, which made her look even thinner.
At a distance of about ten meters, someone was like a little earthworm climbing the wall, "arching" upward one by one.
"All kinds of evil things are everywhere on it, and all kinds of evil karma are clustered there. There are waves that drown the mountains and fields, there are fierce fires that fill the ten directions, poisonous gases fill the heaven and earth, and there are evil winds that destroy everything..."
"Why?"
Ouyang Rong is actually materialistically skeptical about this, but is it possible that the anxiety among young people today is really so great that even Buddha knows about it? Buddha actually took over this business...
Early the next morning, he was indignant and went to Donglin Temple again, trying to reason with them... Well, actually he wanted to pretend to be innocent and try to see if the seal could be unsealed.
As a result, halfway through the trip, the postgraduate entrance examination group that I had previously enjoyed diving in had a very upright name, and another member of the dog group sent a picture of Zhang Haoran's uprightness.
This Donglin Temple is quite user-friendly, allowing donors who have no time to queue up to ring the bell directly online without leaving home. It is true that the care for donors has reached the prostate of all temples across the country.
Just think of it as sincere and sincere.
He suddenly turned around and said hello to the darkness behind him: "Hey, come here and help me. I will rescue you when I go up."
This is also the quietest one in the underground palace.
He held back, swallowed his words, and shook his head.
At this time, the withered monk clasped his hands together and looked sad:
The gray monk's robes were in tatters, his face was withered, and his age could not be seen.
Ouyang Rong was about to speak but stopped.
When he was a child, as long as he picked up a slightly straight wooden stick, there would not be a flower or plant as high as his waist within ten miles of his home; every dog passing by would have to get two sticks; if he was given another thread to hang, there would not even be a single flower or plant in the pond.
Don't even think about saving the tadpole.
This is a bit convoluted.
…
Fortunately, I only hit my forehead and not my face.
Ouyang Rong raised his head and suddenly spoke without looking back.
He changed directions twice more midway.
"Don't be so verbose." Hehuo Qiu Lao Dao changed his sitting position to cross-legged meditation, and at the same time moved a little further away from Ouyang Rong. He said impatiently: "Good words can't persuade a damned person. Great mercy will not save people."
.”
But soon, it was discovered that it was not the case.
Ouyang Rong stood on the lotus seat and wiped the rain off his face.
The third time, I changed direction and missed...
The rain falling from left to right changed from falling from top to bottom.
It's a pity that it came from hitting the ground hard on the butt.
The whole person was huddled in a wide black-feathered crane cloak like a water monkey, with his arms tightly wrapped as if he was afraid of the cold.
In broad daylight? Ouyang Rong subconsciously double-clicked to zoom in and take a look, but it was this greedy glance that made him not pay attention when he first turned the corner. He stepped on the ground and his eyes went dark...
I don’t know how long it took, but everything suddenly became quiet again.
As for the most important thing, the blessing bell that can make wishes come true requires accumulating 10,000 merit points before ringing it once.
But...what the heck, even cultural relics are useless. The lives of the people and postgraduate entrance examinations are more important, and the 'people' have expropriated them!
Then came the sound of water from outside. Different from the ebb and flow of the sea, to Ouyang Rong's ears, the sound of water was like the roar of a train approaching from far away. It seemed to be coming from the end of the horizon.
, all the flowers, birds, animals, and mountains and forests along the way were swept away, and the whole world trembled.
Does the moon also shiver? This was the first reaction in Ouyang Rong's brain in the first three seconds.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the round hole looked like the mouth of a manhole cover - the mouth of the well that made him lose his footing and fall.
Ouyang Rong sat on the cold and hard ground of the underground palace, his whole body wet.
Boom——
Weak individuals are not worth mentioning in the face of this kind of power...the same goes for postgraduate entrance examinations.
But when he arrived at the place, he saw the familiar long queue again, so he went straight up the mountain to see if there were any other doors through which he could go.
This is not the same outfit he was wearing before he fell off.
Only a pointed head is exposed, with a childish face and white hair, and the Taoist Hunyuan scarf covers his head covered with silver threads.
He was holding on to the rope with one hand and holding the heavy golden lotus lamp with the other hand. He looked up and stared at the 'well mouth' that he had long wanted to see.
Only seen.
When Ouyang Rong had just woken up, Ouyang Rong talked to her, but the girl didn't say a word, just a pair of eyes like autumn water flashing through the gap between her knees and thin arms.
By the way, there was actually an option in the lower right corner of the app to ‘donate money and exchange merit for a limited time’, but Ouyang Rong simply ignored it, maybe next time... never mind, maybe next time.
Ouyang Rong took a look and found that he had scanned the QR code to download an APP called 'Gongde Tower'.
The sound of rain above his head suddenly became louder, the wind became stronger, and the rain falling from top to bottom became diagonally falling from left to right.
"..." Ouyang Rong.
Sure enough, we were still in the temple! Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
The second time, I hit it and threw it out!
But he pulled it and slid back out of the cave.
After asking around again, it turns out that there is a century-old wishing tower in this temple, and there is also a blessing bell inside. After you have accumulated enough merit, you can ring it to get blessings and your wishes will come true.
"Um, what did you just say?"
Ouyang Rong finally understood the true meaning of the words "the earth shook and the mountains shook" and "the sky and the earth changed color".
In the dark place not illuminated by the moonlight, there are three dark shadows scattered vaguely:
There is a huge flood outside, at least a flash flood that roars for hundreds of miles, or it may even be similar to the world-destroying flood of Jehovah in the Old Testament.
Behind him, the haggard monk, the Taoist priest in the crane cloak and the slender girl were all staring at him intently.
So early that morning, Ouyang Rong took a taxi to Donglin Temple with a critical eye. When he arrived at the place, he saw that, good guy, Mo Daojun left early, and even more early, and the queue to enter the temple was all lined up.
When we reached the foot of the mountain, there were all his peers in front of him, looking down at their mobile phones in the cold wind.
Sure enough, those who still believe in religion in this era are a bit arrogant, and they are not as good as the girls in the Hanfu circle.
As a result, his account was banned the next day.
There was half a broken lotus lantern on the ground beside him, and the other half flew to the corner of the wall. There were various beads and stones scattered on the ground.
Moreover, he was very familiar with his own face. Although the underground palace was pitch black and there was no mirror to be found, after a rough touch, he found that it was 80% correct, unless he was reborn as Hu Ge or Guan Xi.
But he got three looks like he was looking at a fool.
Suddenly there was a faint sound of thunder outside the underground palace, and before anyone could react, the night rain began to fall.
An old Taoist priest was leaning against the wall, sitting on the ground with his legs spread like a dustpan.
He looked happy, wiped his face vigorously, spit out the muddy water in his mouth, and began to hold on to the rope and climb up regardless of his appearance.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that the moon above, which was half blocked by dark clouds, was trembling.
But the dog’s life is at stake. We’ll decide whether he’s handsome or not until he lands ashore.
The first time, I missed and hit the ground.
"..." Can't you afford it?
Ouyang never expected that this small outsourcing APP would have an anti-cheating mechanism.
On the tenth throw, the golden lotus lantern thrown out of the hole was not pulled back by him again, and a steady resistance was transmitted from the straight rope to Ouyang Rong's skinned tiger's mouth.
"Donor, this place is the Lotus Pure Land, and above it is the Infinite Hell!"
The electronic wooden fish can be clicked manually to ring, and the merit will be +1 if clicked. There is also a warm counter above.
Ouyang Rong no longer bothered with the clothes on his body, and after hesitating for a moment in the rain, Ouyang Rong continued to throw.
Hearing the word "go out", the gaunt monk seemed to have just been fished out of the North Sea under the ice, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.
Moreover, he really needs these two projects, which really hit home.
"We can't put it off any longer, I haven't finished memorizing the words yet."
Soon, Ouyang Rong climbed up most of the way despite the rain. At this time, he could touch the rocks at the mouth of the well with his hand, and his nose suddenly smelled a familiar scent of sandalwood.
Ouyang Rong remembered that he had seen a wild survival video when he was working. In it, a man who fell into a deep pit tied a heavy object with one end of a long rope, then threw it out of the pit and wrapped it around a tree trunk, and was successfully rescued.
.
The young man who was about to take the postgraduate entrance examination suddenly froze up and looked down silently. He was wearing an unfamiliar Confucian robe that he had been deliberately ignoring.
What's even more devilish is that this APP actually comes with the background music of "The Great Compassion Curse", which can't be turned off...
The withered monk pointed one finger to the ground and the other to the sky, "This place is the pure land of lotus, and above it is the endless hell!"
A young man who was taking the postgraduate entrance examination for materialism turned his head seriously and asked sincerely: "What is your surname, the eminent monk?"
