"By the way, you should have heard of an abandoned temple in the southern suburbs of Rongcheng - Luohan Temple, right?"
Liu Xing had never heard of the Luohan Temple mentioned by Deng Yan, but He Rong and others next to him nodded unanimously. It seemed that the Luohan Temple was quite famous, so Liu Xing also wanted to join the group.
I can only nod along.
"What you said, Deng Yan, does that person in Chengdu not know about Luohan Temple? After all, what happened on the last day of 1999 shocked the whole city! My grandparents lived near Luohan Temple at that time, and my place
I happened to be playing at my grandparents' house for a while, so when the accident happened, I went with my grandparents to watch the fun." He Rong said with a smile.
After listening to He Rong's words, Liu Xing knew that the Luohan Temple must be related to the Cthulhu Running Game Hall. It was only recently embodied in the real world by the Cthulhu Running Game Hall, and He modified it.
Rong and other ordinary people's memories, so I, the player, will not know the existence of Luohan Temple.
But then again, this "1999" is now considered a classic meme on the Internet, and it also forms a perfect interaction with the meme "I understand everything".
To put it simply, the "1999" meme is a group of people playing tricks, pretending that if they hadn't stepped forward and fought bloody battles in 1999, the earth would have been destroyed! After this
, in order to allow ordinary people who do not know the truth to continue to live ordinary lives, these people signed a confidentiality agreement and promised not to disclose any relevant information to ordinary people.
Of course, as for why it is "1999", it is because there are various predictions about "the end of the world in two thousand years" emerging one after another, so there were many people who believed in the doomsday prophecies who gathered together to wait for the destruction to come.
, of course, there are also some people with poor psychological endurance who choose to commit suicide in advance. In short, it was considered a big fuss at that time.
As for why it is not the more famous "2012", we have to mention an unfamous law - the lower the pixels of the camera, the higher the possibility of photographing mysterious creatures and UFOs!
Yes, with the continuous popularization of mobile phones and the continuous improvement of mobile phone pixels, the original endless number of sightings of mysterious creatures and UFOs have become less and less, and even if they are photographed, most of them can be explained reasonably, and explanations are coming.
Very fast, because the popularity of the Internet can make these photos known to more people in a short time.
You must know that the first mobile phone with a built-in camera function was launched two thousand years later, so compared to "2012" when smartphones became popular, there were more operations in "1999"
space, and there was no need to worry about "no pictures, no truth", because there really weren't many pictures at that time.
So now, the "1999" meme has been quite complete, and various settings can be added at any time. It can be regarded as a very interesting Internet subculture.
Therefore, it was targeted by the Cthulhu Running Group Game Hall.
After all, the staff responsible for building modules in the Cthulhu Run game lobby are basically human beings, so the same sentence remains - no matter how rich a person's imagination is, it is all based on his own cognition!
For example, the master of craftsmanship has a very rich imagination and has built the colorful world of "Cthulhu Mythos". However, many of the terrifying Old Ones in his eyes have obvious characteristics of marine creatures, or are simply a person.
Large seafood.
Therefore, when these staff write modules, they often base them on some real events, and then add elements such as mythical creatures on top, and sometimes they also play some jokes.
Therefore, Liu Xing feels that it is normal for the Cthulhu Running Team game hall to launch the "1999" series of modules. It may even be a large-scale event similar to the Battle of Public Martial Arts. The main content is in the "1999" series.
In "Nine Years", many mythical creatures stood up and wanted to destroy mankind, and then a group of invisible guardians stood up to protect the world.
If this event has a time-travel element, then the Invisible Guardian has a place for players; if not, then this event is for players to recreate "1999".
However, the problem is that if we really want to recreate "1999", then when this event is assimilated into the real world, it means that the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has begun to assimilate the entire real world! So this is the real end of the world!
Thinking of this, Liu Xing felt a chill in his back.
"Oh, He Rong, can you tell me what happened at Luohan Temple that year? I only saw some relevant information on the Internet, but my father-in-law found a few scriptures from a monk before Luohan Temple was abandoned.
They all seem to be quite precious, and they are said to be related to the incident that happened at Luohan Temple. After I heard about this incident, I also asked my father-in-law about it, but my father-in-law didn’t know why, so he was not interested in that incident.
He always puts things in perspective, as if he doesn't want to tell me the truth about the matter." Deng Yan asked curiously.
He Rong nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, the information on the Internet about that matter is pretty much the same, but there are some discrepancies in the details! First of all, we have to know the history of Luohan Temple before we can understand these details.
Differences; the first generation abbot of Luohan Temple was named Jinlun Dharma King, which sounds like a character in a martial arts novel, and his deeds back then could indeed be written into a martial arts novel! This Jinlun Dharma King was named Li Shen,
He was born in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty and is a native of Chengdu. His father was a famous textile industry boss in Chengdu at that time, so Li Shen was born with a silver spoon in his mouth."
"As the saying goes - the rich in literature and martial arts are poor. Li Shen has been fond of practicing martial arts since he was a child, and soon became the eldest brother among his peers. However, he is also a person who likes to be unconventional, so I don't know where he got it from.
A pair of golden wheels with sharp serrations were used as weapons, and this golden wheel came from the ancient country of Tianzhu, with a very interesting name - Chakra; Li Shen, who got the Chakra golden wheel, quickly became the invincible player in Chengdu, but in the same year
His mother suddenly died of a serious illness, and Li Shen was away competing with experts and did not have time to see his mother for the last time. Therefore, Li Shen, who blamed himself, decided to become a monk and build a Luohan Temple to pray for his mother."
"Of course, this Li Shen can't be said to have become a monk halfway, because he is just an ordinary person wearing a monk's robe, and he proclaimed himself the abbot of Luohan Temple. Of course, this Luohan Temple was also built with full payment by Li Shen's father, so from then on
In a sense, this Luohan Temple is not a normal temple. I personally prefer to call it a temple of the Li family. And after the construction of Luohan Temple was completed, because there was no ultimatum, the Luohan Temple was actually a temple.
Even monks don’t have it. At the same time, Li Shen has always called himself Jinlun Dharma King at this time, and he still eats and drinks what he should eat, and he has never tabooed anything."
"As for the daily maintenance of Luohan Temple, it was still the servants of the Li family who were responsible for it. Therefore, the Luohan Temple at that time was really non-mainstream and attracted the dissatisfaction of all nearby temples. After all, this kind of behavior is selling dog meat at the head of a sheep.
It is easy to affect these merchants who really sell dog meat; so these temples came to ask Li Shen to make a choice, either to change the name of Luohan Temple to Li Palace, or to really abide by the rules and precepts in Luohan Temple. In the end, Li Shen must be
I chose neither of them, so I took my monks, or servants, to beat up the representatives of the temples, and then I even said harshly that unless I could beat him, I shouldn't come to him to talk to him."
"We modern people all know that long-term vegetarianism will lead to a decline in body function. After all, the high-quality protein in meat is very important for building muscles, so there is a saying that the poor in culture and the rich in martial arts, because whether it is ancient martial arts or modern people practice
Building muscles requires spending a lot of money on food; therefore, the temples around Chengdu could not find a monk who could defeat Li Shen, so Luohan Temple continued to exist in its own way, but Li Shen later
I started to truly practice Buddhism, and eventually I became quite accomplished, so the surrounding temples finally recognized the status of Luohan Temple."
"However, after Li Shen's death, Luohan Temple has always maintained the theme of "wine and meat" and the Buddha's heart. It has not become a real temple for hundreds of years. Therefore, although it has been recognized by other surrounding temples, these
Temples do not allow their own lay people to approach Luohan Temple, so Luohan Temple has always had four prominent characters - mavericks, and there are often some heroes in Luohan Temple who cut their hair and become monks without caring about worldly affairs; therefore, in Luohan Temple,
There are many magic weapons and martial arts secrets in it than classics. In 1999, a bold decision was made to turn Luohan Temple into a real scenic spot.
."
"As we all know, scenic spots like Shaolin Temple are still dominated by temples. When tourists visit, they will not affect the monks' normal practice. However, such a change to Luohan Temple is equivalent to turning itself into a theme park, so
Naturally, it caused dissatisfaction in Chengdu and even the entire Shu temple. After all, Luohan Temple was about to become a thousand-year-old temple. But now it wants to turn itself into an amusement park. How can this not raise the blood pressure of those monks?
?However, Luohan Temple is still so maverick and does not listen to the advice of its colleagues at all, so it attracts denunciation from surrounding temples. One of the abbots even before his death, would rather go to hell than curse the destruction of Luohan Temple.
once."
"Here, I believe many rumors on the Internet mentioned that this host also said that the first ray of sunshine in two thousand years could not be seen in Luohan Temple, so Luohan Temple would have an accident on the last day of 1999; anyway, on that day
, Luohan Temple has completed the preliminary transformation work, and has allowed tourists to visit freely in the temple. If they are willing, they can also spend money to rent a set of clothes, and then follow the monks to do various activities, but this is not important, the important thing is Arhat
The temple is planning to hold a martial arts conference and display the various magical weapons stored in the Shenbing Pavilion, which are the weapons left by the martial arts practitioners who became monks in the past dynasties."
"What happened next was almost the same as what was recorded online, that is, Luohan Temple held a martial arts conference on the last day of 1999, and put all the weapons on display in various places in the temple, because these weapons were probably
Jiudu had become rusty and dull, and even sheathed weapons like swords could no longer be pulled out, so not many people were arranged to take care of them, and they were just placed on the weapon rack. As a result, at about four o'clock in the afternoon,
A large number of tourists had gathered in Luohan Temple, and then suddenly someone said that there was a word in the sky - kill! So for some reason, someone suddenly picked up those weapons, and the rust on these weapons fell off one after another, becoming
Extremely sharp... What happened next can only be described as tragic, because those holding weapons became red-eyed and began to use knives and guns on the people around them..."
"In the end, it was said that the entire Luohan Temple was red everywhere, and dozens of fire trucks came to clean the Luohan Temple! And when my grandparents went over to join in the fun, they saw many trucks waiting at the door, and people were constantly carrying people
A bag dripping with blood came out of it, so my grandparents took me back when they saw this. On that day, Luohan Temple was closed directly and has never been opened since. And I heard that after the incident,
During the inventory, it was found that among the weapons, only the pair of golden wheels had disappeared. As for the scriptures and other books, they were all taken away by the monks who saw that the situation was not good. Therefore, the manuscripts collected by your father-in-law, Deng Yan, should be authentic.
of."
Hearing this, Liu Xing thought of the "Farmhouse Incident in a Certain Place", because many details of this incident were consistent with what happened at Luohan Temple. First of all, they all had accidents while holding activities, and the incident happened
The introductory words are all about a word appearing in the sky, but the word "kill" appears in Luohan Temple, and the word "worm" appears in the farmhouse! The most important thing is that both incidents resulted in casualties!
Therefore, Liu Xing has reason to suspect that the "Luohan Temple Incident" is based on the "Farmhouse Incident"!
If this is the case, Liu Xing can be sure that something may happen to the abandoned and closed Luohan Temple in the recent period. For example, some adventure bloggers who like to commit suicide will go to the Luohan Temple to investigate...
At this moment, Deng Yan suddenly said: "By the way, I remember that an adventure blogger recently posted a notice saying that he would travel to Chengdu in two days, and during this period he would go on an adventure somewhere in Chengdu!
There should be Luohan Temple somewhere here, right?"
Sure enough.
Without even thinking about it, Liu Xing knew that there was a high probability that something would happen to this adventure blogger, and then it would be the player's turn to appear.
