Super Thrilling Live Broadcast Chapter 454: The coffin
Chapter 454 Carrying the Coffin
"Do you want to leave early?" Master Wang's experience in the past few years has made him develop an extremely cautious character. At this time, the three of us have been exposed. environment, always prepare for the worst.
"Wait a little longer, without the guidance of the locals, we will only get lost in the wild even if we leave the village." After knowing the reason for the formation of the village, I was not in a hurry to leave.
Seeing that Feng Minglong and I had no intention of leaving, Master Wang opened his mouth and said, "Leaving the village is just a stopgap measure. We will stay around the village in case of accidents. When the sun rises, we will naturally be able to tell the direction clearly. Escape from the mountains."
"Your method is indeed sound, but you made a critical mistake." I was a little helpless: "How do you know that the sun will rise in this place? What if it is always in the dark?"
Obviously, Master Wang didn't consider similar situations. The basis of his thinking was based on the premise that this is Yangjian.
"Then we just hide here and wait for death? Leave life and death in the hands of others." Master Wang replied unwillingly.
"You can't say that. In fact, even if we want to leave, we may not be able to leave the village safely. The team that greeted the gods just now is probably the living people in the village, but in addition to the living people, the dead also occupy the village. Think about the coffins in those houses, let alone the old lady in the stone building. Surrounded by so many dead bodies, can we escape safely?" Said it out: "Welcome to the God is very important to this village. If we act recklessly and destroy the ceremony of welcoming the God, I'm afraid the end will be even worse. So it's still the same sentence, wait and see what happens, and the soldiers will cover it up."
While I was talking with Master Wang and the others, there were new changes in the village. The team of welcoming the gods suddenly stopped when they were about to leave the village, and the sound of beating gongs and drums gradually weakened, and only the shrill suona sound could be heard Hovering over the entire village.
Then something that no one expected happened, Lu Shan, who was dressed in a different way, was kicked out of the team, and four or five thick women walked back with her.
"What happened?"
They quickly came to the gate of the stone building and shouted some local dialects into the stone building.
"Can you understand what it means?" Feng Minglong looked at Master Wang and me: "From the tone of my voice, I guess we are not welcome."
I frowned, and used my judgment to see that the child who was left behind was hiding behind a few women and mixed in the team, obviously he was the one who informed.
"I don't know what they are talking about, but only a few peasant women came over, and the men in the village did not come, which is a bit strange, and the matter has not yet reached the worst point." The double-faced woman was led into the house by two women. She was the only one in the welcoming team who did not wear a mask.
"There are few men in the village, and the clan elders want you to carry the coffin in the temple with the team welcoming the gods." Lu Shan's words flickered, as if he was hiding something on purpose.
"Carrying the coffin? Aren't you going to welcome God? Why are you involved with the coffin again?" No matter how I asked, Lu Shan refused to speak, but the peasant women occasionally said a few words that they couldn't understand at all. It doesn't look like a good thing to analyze their dialect only from their tone of voice.
After a stalemate for a few minutes, the three of us outsiders chose to compromise, and we had to bow our heads under the eaves.
Several peasant women put on brightly colored robes for us, and then led us to catch up with the procession of welcoming the gods.
After we merged into the team, the Xuanle troupe walking in front began to beat gongs and drums again. The shrill sound combined with the ups and downs of the red and white soul sedan was particularly strange.
"What's this called? Forced to carry the coffin, causing bad luck." The three of us outsiders walked with Lu Shan, out of tune with the silent dancing crowd around us.
The long procession of welcoming the gods quickly left the village, climbed up the rugged mountain road to the middle of the mountain, and finally stopped in front of a Buddhist temple.
Short and dilapidated, gloomy and damp, mottled moss grows on the walls, and the roof is covered with blue tiles, which looks antique. This temple is estimated to have existed longer than the village at the foot of the mountain.
"Weeds are overgrown, and the temple is dilapidated like this. It is obviously lacking in maintenance. It can be seen how much the local people attach importance to welcoming the gods. It seems that this dilapidated temple has a high status in their hearts. Revere the temple, but let the temple run down and not take care of it?" The attitude of these people in the village towards the temple made me a little puzzled, and I couldn't figure out what they really thought.
Not long after, an old man said a few words to Lu Shan, Lu Shan nodded to understand, and then brought the three of us outsiders to the gate of the temple: "The clan elder asked you to go in and carry the coffin, be careful, Don't disturb the gods."
"Only the three of us?" I was stunned, and the welcoming team was crowded outside the temple, forming a circle. They were wearing bright clothes and paper masks, and they just watched us three outsiders quietly. Interviewer: "Okay, let's go."
The temple is not big, but the threshold is very high, and the mountain is steep. There are seven stone steps arranged outside the temple.
"There are no thresholds for the houses in the whole village, but this dilapidated temple has one?" I somewhat understand why the temple is dilapidated and lacks care. This place is probably not accessible to ordinary villagers.
Step up the steps and enter the temple. Inside is a small courtyard of more than ten square meters. The ground is paved with blue bricks and weeds are overgrown on both sides.
Continue to walk in, pass through the small courtyard and enter the main hall. Compared with the outside, it looks more dilapidated. The tiles on the roof are incomplete, there are big holes leaking, the wall skin is cracked, and there are shocking cracks everywhere.
In the depths of the main hall stands a Buddha statue, which is born with two faces. In front of the Buddha statue is an altar, on which stands a tablet with three ancient Chinese characters - Good and Evil Buddha.
"Is this the real name of the double-faced Buddha? He's called the Buddha of Good and Evil?" I picked up my phone and recorded all of this. After so long of dealing with each other, I didn't know the real name of the other party until now: "Good and evil are relative, What is the meaning of this name? Or is it just a name made up by the villagers themselves?"
"Mr. Lu, it is disrespectful to take pictures with your mobile phone in the temple, and you will bring disaster on yourself."
"No. 12, hurry up and help me. I feel uncomfortable in this ruined temple, as if I'm being watched all the time."
Wang Shi and Feng Minglong found behind the Buddha statue the coffin that Lu Shan mentioned. It has a large front end and a small rear end, in the shape of a trapezoid. It looks like a half log.
"How do you carry it? I heard that carrying the coffin is also very particular."
The coffin was placed obliquely behind the Buddha statue, with a thick layer of dust on it, and I don't know how long it has been thrown here.
"The two of you carry the head of the coffin, and I alone carry the tail." I practice Miaozhen Fa and Bengquan, and my physical fitness is far better than ordinary people, so I am in charge of one end of the coffin alone.
"Just carry it?" Feng Minglong and Wang Shi looked at the wooden coffin on the ground and were unwilling to do anything. In their eyes, the coffin was very unlucky, and it was an incredible thing to stop the coffin in a deserted temple.
"The wall of the Buddhist temple is low, why don't we just jump over the wall and escape? This place is beyond the scope of the village, and the opportunity is rare!"
Master Wang said to me in a deliberative tone, and I was also a little moved. I was about to discuss the feasibility of the plan, when the mobile phone in the underworld show in my hand rang softly.
"Ding!" A text message was sent to the mailbox of the mobile phone at this time.
"Wait a minute." I opened the mailbox and looked through the message, and there was only a short line of words in it - "Optional task 3: Steal good and evil relics, reward ten points for successful task! Get a live broadcast immunity!"
"Good and evil relics?" The rewards of this optional task are extremely rich, almost comparable to the task of killing Lu Xing in the eighth live broadcast. , but it was released after we entered the temple, could it be that the good and evil relics are hidden in the temple? Is it because Lu Xing tried so hard to take the train just to come here to get the relics?"
On the tablet of the double-faced Buddha, there are good and evil Buddhas written on it. This good and evil relic must also be related to the double-faced Buddha.
"Mr. Lu, whether to leave or stay, I should say something." Both Feng Minglong and Wang Shi looked at me anxiously. After a long delay, they were afraid that it would arouse the suspicion of the villagers outside.
"No hurry, I want to find something here first."
