Chapter 281: Poison Sacrifice: The Weird Buddhist Temple
Lu Zhanfeng glanced at Tang Yejue: "I actually fainted?"
"Otherwise, do you still think you can hold on until I carry you to the Great Buddha Temple?" Tang Yejue curled his lips, "Forget it, since you are trying to save me, I won't argue with you."
As he spoke, he handed a bowl of extremely unpleasant-tasting medicine to Lu Zhanfeng, "Drink it."
Lu Zhanfeng frowned, extremely disgusted with the taste of the medicine, but after hesitating for a moment, he took the bowl and drank it in one gulp.
This medicine did not have the bitter taste of ordinary traditional Chinese medicine, but the taste of something strange mixed with something that could not be described at all. Lu Zhanfeng coughed immediately after drinking it. Tang Yejue found it funny and stretched out his hand to pat his back.
Lu Zhanfeng asked unhappily: "What did you give me to drink?"
Tang Yejue shrugged: "Various medicinal herbs mixed with snake venom."
"What?!" Lu Zhanfeng's expression changed drastically.
"Huh, that's all, Young Master Lu." Tang Yejue raised his eyebrows, "Can a little bit of snake venom scare you like this?"
"..." Lu Zhanfeng was speechless for a moment, but he glanced at the copper basin aside. He found that the copper basin was not pure water, but blood. In addition, there were a few needles made of strangely made colored glaze, "That's
What? Why is there so much blood?"
"You discovered it." Tang Yejue said, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. In order to save you, I found a way to refine the snake king venom, injected it into the blood of the horse, and then extracted the horse's blood to make
Understand the medicine. Of course, there is your blood and my blood here. Of course, most of it is my blood. After all, my blood can detoxify. Since you saved me, it doesn't matter if I bleed some for you."
Lu Zhanfeng didn't say anything. He stared at the copper basin and said after a long time: "It's not because you had to lead us to change the way that we met the Snake King."
Tang Yejue said disdainfully: "If I had taken you the way you came, you would have died in the poisonous miasma, wouldn't you? Besides, we are not sure whether there are corpses in the poisonous miasma now. You have to know that when you
When the caravan was brought to Taoxian Village, there were already people infected. We have no way of knowing whether anyone else was infected before that."
"I guess what you said makes sense - cough cough..."
"Hey, hey, hey," Tang Yejue quickly helped Lu Zhanfeng lie down, "Although your remaining poison has been cleared, you still need to have a good rest. Don't worry, I won't laugh at you. Anyway, we are two ants on the same rope.
Just a grasshopper."
Lu Zhanfeng lay down, glanced at Tang Yejue, and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Tang Yejue waved his hand: "You can rest, I'll stay here tonight."
Lu Zhanfeng asked: "Isn't this the Great Buddhist Temple? Why is there a night vigil? Just go and rest."
Tang Yejue didn't say anything, he just snapped his fingers and extinguished a few glass lamps.
"Don't worry about it, it's a doctor's duty," he said.
Lu Zhanfeng hummed and didn't reply. Because he was too tired, he quickly fell asleep.
Seeing the person in front of him sleeping, Tang Yejue stood up. The atmosphere of this great Buddhist temple at night was completely different from that during the day. During the day, the temple was shining with golden light, but at night... he had never seen a temple that was so gloomy.
.Even, it is filled with miasma invisible to the naked eye.
Why is there miasma in Buddhist temples?
Moreover, since he entered the temple, apart from seeing a few monks, he did not even see Huba, the commonly known elder presiding here.
Is this normal?
Tang Yejue had been sitting in front of the bed until late in the night, when an unusual crow came from the air. He stood up, opened the door, and found that the entire temple courtyard had been covered by thick fog, and he could not see anything clearly.
"As soon as it gets light, you can leave." A child's voice sounded at the door. Tang Yejue lowered his head and saw that it was the little novice monk from the daytime.
The little novice monk raised his head and asked: "You used snake venom to catch the snake king during the day, but you were actually injured, right?"
Tang Yejue said vigilantly: "It doesn't matter to me. None of those poisons can hurt me."
The little novice monk took a look at Tang Yejue's legs. The legs were wrapped with a layer of gauze, but they were covered by clothes and were difficult to detect.
"You have noticed the situation here," said the little novice monk. "This place becomes extraordinary at night... In fact, what you see during the day is an illusion. This great Buddhist temple is the home of the first generation of Dai kings.
The temple that was built..."
"The first generation?" Tang Yejue had never heard anyone mention this matter, "But the first Dai King was a thousand years ago..."
"Yes," said the little novice monk, "so the Great Buddha Temple is an ancient temple and also a ghost temple."
A cold premonition suddenly arose in Tang Yejue's heart: "What...means?"
The little novice monk smiled: "Your master is Yougu, right? The reason why Yougu told you that the monks in this great Buddhist temple have weird personalities and should not be approached by strangers is because he didn't want you to wander in here by mistake. This place was burned down seven hundred years ago. Now you can
What I saw were naturally the demons and ghosts wandering around here."
The strange and inexplicable fluorescent light reflected faintly in the little novice's eyes.
Tang Yejue seemed to be frozen, even his pupils were motionless. After a moment, he asked: "What about you? Who are you?"
The little novice monk thought for a while and said: "Me? I am also a monk who is stuck here and can't leave. I have been a Buddhist since I was a child. The reason why I am here now is because I can't find the body, so I can't be reincarnated."
The cold light in Tang Yejue's eyes flashed: "Why should I believe you?"
The little novice said: "Because I saved your friend, isn't that enough? When you came back during the day, you saw that I protected your friend well and didn't let his poison spread, right? Do you still want to ask,
Why should I save him?"
Tang Yejue stared at the child in front of him.
The little novice monk said: "It's very simple. I have been wandering in this temple for hundreds of years. I want to reincarnate and leave here. So, I need your help."
Tang Yejue pinched his fingers and made a clicking sound.
"I don't understand. Since there will always be people here who don't want to break in, why didn't you find those people to help you reincarnate earlier? Why did you have to wait until now?"
"Because none of them can do it." The little novice monk said, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed ahead.
A slightly stiff skeleton wearing monk clothes is moving slowly towards here. The little novice monk said: "This place is occupied by a very resentful priestess. No one can survive from her, including the Snake King.
They are just her subordinates..."
"Priestess?" Tang Yejue seemed to understand something, "You mean... the priest who served the King of Dai back then was actually a woman?"
Before the little novice monk had time to speak, the sound of a glass lamp breaking suddenly came from the room behind Tang Yejue. Then, he heard Lu Zhanfeng's painful "Oh" sound.
