Chapter 481 Half a clay Buddha statue! Three corpses! (5k big chapter)
The team then continues on the road.
Because Jin An showed his skills, Ander and others showed obvious respect for Jin An along the way and became a lot more enthusiastic.
They all felt that they must have hired the right guru this time.
I finally understand why Master Tashi was reluctant to bring an exorcism device at first. This is called the demeanor of a master.
He admired Jin An so much that he fell into admiration.
Although they experienced a lot of strange things along the way, fortunately, they finally arrived at their destination safely. And through Master Yiyun's insinuations along the way, they really got a lot of useful information.
Other parents who had been waiting for a long time saw that Ander and the others had successfully invited the guru, and they all hurriedly came out to greet them.
These parents all have one thing in common, that is, they all wear the mask of being inferior to animals.
Maybe it’s because of the masks they wear. No matter how warmly they smile, they always give people a fake smile that is superficial and not smiling. Even the eyes hidden under the mask look like this.
The color of haze.
After a brief polite conversation, Jin An also met the five children he was going to exorcise. Although performing rituals and exorcisms on the dead, there is always an indescribable awkwardness...
When Jin An saw the five children, he frowned. These five children were also wearing masks that were worse than animals. The color was darker than the adults' masks, and the masks were also uglier. It seemed that this Buddhist country was using this kind of mask.
What does the method mean?
Is the human heart hidden under the mask the ugliest and dirtiest?
Jin An could tell at first glance that these children were probably not as simple as Ander said. They just died mysteriously one after another because they had no intention of offending the souls of the dead?
Of course, Jin An will not really exorcise these people. Besides, he doesn't understand the process of performing rituals on the dead to exorcise demons. The main purpose of his trip is to get some information from these Buddhist natives, so he sees
After passing the five children, he said perfunctorily that if he wanted to save people, he had to cut them off at the source. Tonight he would take the five remaining children to spend the night in the temple of the haunted house.
Jin'an's words were conveyed by Mr. Yiyun.
After hearing this, several parents looked embarrassed as expected. They were afraid of avoiding that haunted Buddhist temple, but now they let their children jump into the pit of fire again. No parent would agree.
But Jin An seriously underestimated the respect and confidence that the Anders had in him.
After repeated lobbying by Ander and others, everyone knew about Jin An's deeds of scaring away starving ghosts with just one look. In the end, these parents actually agreed to let the five children stay with Jin An in the temple of the haunted house for one night.
.
Because time was in a hurry, the sky was about to enter the middle of the night, and it would be dawn with half of the night left. These parents were afraid that the night would be long and the children would hang themselves, so they showed very high efficiency, even beating and driving the five children away.
We arrived at the haunted Buddhist temple.
When Jin An followed Ande and the others to the Buddhist temple, he made a surprising discovery. There was actually a clay Buddha statue enshrined in the Buddhist temple.
Although the Buddha's body was covered with filth and his body was in pieces with only half of his body left, it was indeed a genuine Buddha statue.
This is the first time he has seen a Buddha statue in a Buddhist temple in the past few days since he entered the Buddhist kingdom.
The surprised expression on the face of Mr. Yiyun who followed him was no less than that of Jin An. The two looked at each other, and they both saw surprise and astonishment in each other's eyes.
At this time, Ander came over and said, "Master Tashi, I will ask you and your disciples to help us unsatisfied boys tonight."
"One more thing, we originally found the sneaky outsider near this temple. If Master Tashi wants to hunt down the outsider, use their corpses as the secret material of Gabala and Tsa Tsa Buddha.
, I think if the outsider really has other accomplices, they must be hiding around here."
Had he not seen this Buddhist temple, Jin An would definitely have doubted the authenticity of Ander's words.
After all, there are not so many coincidences in the world.
You happen to be asking me to exorcise demons, and then you tell me that the person I am looking for is nearby?
But when he saw the Buddha statue for the first time in the Buddhist Kingdom, Jin An felt that it was most reasonable for Yan Kuan's group and the grassland people to hide nearby.
Originally, those parents also wanted to stay with their children.
Young Master Yiyun looked at Jin An, who shook his head. Young Master Yiyun made excuses for the parents' requests, saying that there were too many resentful souls here to show up, and the fewer people there, the better.
Actually, Jin'an was mainly worried about the large number of people and the mixed mouths.
The more people there are, the greater their risk of exposure.
After all, they are all living people who have gone to the underworld. In the eyes of these resentful souls, they are just delicious human delicacies with their heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.
When the adults left and only Jin An and others were left in the Buddhist hall, as well as the five children, Jin An had some free time to look at the abandoned Buddhist hall in front of him.
It is true that as Ander and the others said, this Buddhist temple was destroyed by a fire. Even after so many years, many traces of the fire can still be seen.
Basically, all the earthen walls that can be seen are blackened by the fire, and many of the earthen walls have cracked. At night, the cold wind blows in, and the sound becomes extremely sharp when it passes through the cracks, like countless resentful souls.
Hysterical screams.
At this time, the five children were huddled in front of the main hall. They did not dare to step into the main hall and look directly at the Buddha statue. They asked why they did not dare to look directly at the Buddha statue. Under the masks of pigs and dogs that were darker and uglier than the masks of adults, they were not as good as beasts.
, showing a timid look in his eyes, saying he was afraid of the statue covered in blood.
Jin An nodded.
Ander once said that on the first night these children lived in the Buddhist temple, they encountered the hallucination of carrying gods, slaughtering cattle, sheep, horses and camels, and smearing the statues with blood. This may have left a psychological shadow at that time.
Mr. Yiyun: "Where did you dig up the bones?"
Following the timid fingers of the children, the three Ayimaimaiti people left without waiting for instructions, spat a few times on their hands, and then waved the hoes and shovels that Ander and the others left behind before leaving.
Even children can dig up corpses, indicating that the bones were not buried deep.
Sure enough.
The discovery was made within a few digs.
As Ayimaimaiti and the other three people continued to dig holes, they dug out three corpses one after another, one large and two small.
Jin An frowned and examined the bones, turned his back to the five children, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "The bones of this adult should be an old man about sixty or seventy years old. The arm bones and leg bones of these three bones,
The skull and mandible are relatively large and rough, so it is inferred that all three of them are male."
Ai Maimaiti and the other three all looked at Jin An in surprise, and also said with lowered voices of admiration: "Taoist Master Jin An, you not only know how to exorcise demons, but you also know how to do evil deeds? Taoist Jin An really knows everything about astronomy and geography."
I don’t know.”
"As people age, they will develop osteoporosis, and the bones will become lighter and brittle. This is why people are particularly prone to fractures as they age. For example, the same leg bones, these two smaller leg bones are smaller than
The weight of the adult's leg bones is a good proof." Jin An continued the autopsy as he spoke. He didn't understand these before. These characteristics of corpses are all because he has been exposed to many dead people. Some of them were figured out by himself, and some of them were his.
I specifically found relevant books to study.
Since everyone is here, there are some things that cannot be avoided even if he wants to. He plans to do his best and investigate what is hidden in this Buddhist temple.
At this time, Ayimaimaiti turned to look at the five children who were still huddled together, and said in a lower voice: "Taoist Jin'an, I think those five children have a big problem..."
Benny and Ahqi also nodded.
Even they can see that the pig or dog on the child's face is not as good as the animal mask and is darker and uglier than the adult's mask.
Jin An didn’t even raise his head as he touched the bones and examined the corpse. He said calmly without any surprise on his face: “Oh? What did you see?”
"I think those animal masks should be related to evildoers and human hearts. Anyone who has done evil will have a mask on their face. The more evil they do, the uglier their hearts are, the uglier the animal masks on their faces... I
I’m just curious about what kind of evil these little guys did during their lifetimes. Even after being dead for so many years, they still have their lives demanded by resentful spirits. Ender’s people must be dishonest and they didn’t tell us everything.”
This time, Jin An finally raised his head and glanced at Ayimaimaiti in front of him: "You are very good at what you said. You are basically right."
“There is a saying among us Han people that we know people but don’t know their hearts. Some people do things openly and secretly, wearing false masks on their faces.”
“Haven’t you noticed that whenever these people lie, the masks on their faces will also change color, either becoming darker or lighter.” Jin An mentioned a small detail.
Hearing this, Ayimaimaiti slapped his forehead excitedly: "How come I didn't notice this!"
After he finished shouting, he realized that he was too excited. He quickly shut up and continued to study the three bones on the ground seriously.
Since entering the Buddhist hall, the five children have been huddled together, their bodies trembling with fear. Faced with Ayimaimaiti's sudden excited shouting, they only glanced at it, and then continued to timidly look at the statues in the hall.
Mr. Yiyun: "You have been studying these three corpses, but what problems have you seen?"
Jin'an: "These three people did not die in the fire, but in man-made disasters."
"This old man should be a monk or abbot in the Buddhist temple. His real cause of death was a heavy blow to the head, a fractured shoulder blade, and three sword wounds on his chest and ribs. Based on the angle of the wounds, he should be a highly trusted person, close to him.
He was killed in a sneak attack. The person who was attacked in a sneak attack was not one person but a group of people..."
"...The scene at that time should be that someone took advantage of the old monk's unprepared turn to pick up a blunt object and hit the old monk hard on the back of the head; but the blow was not enough to cause fatal injuries. The old monk was about to
He screamed, and one or two people hugged him from behind and covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting. Then the remaining people pulled out the sharp weapons they had prepared and pierced the old monk's heart. These people planned carefully.
Killed with one blow, they had no intention of letting the old monk live from the beginning, and it must be an acquaintance who committed the crime, and it is not an acquaintance who cannot gain the old monk's trust."
“Even these two corpses were not burned to death by fire. Their backbones were broken and they lost their ability to escape. In the end, they were burned alive by the fire while screaming.”
"There must have been a murder case in this Buddhist hall. A group of people came to the Buddhist hall with a very clear purpose. They first killed the old monk, then broke the backs of the other two monks, and finally destroyed the corpses with a big fire.
Cover up all the truth."
"Taoist Master Jin'an, do you suspect that the people who committed such a heinous crime of murder and arson were those children who didn't look very old?" Aheqi glanced at the five children who were huddled together in fear.
A child happened to make eye contact with him. The five children looked at him timidly, like trembling sheep that had been soaked by the storm. They were weak, helpless, and lonely.
Aheqi looked at the ugly pig and dog masks on the faces of the five children. For some reason, he felt very uncomfortable and turned back.
Well.
As soon as he turned around, he found that everyone was looking at him like he was an idiot.
Ayimaimaiti gave Aheqi a shudder on the forehead and cursed: "Use your brain when you speak. No matter which one of these three corpses is taller than those big kids, a fool can see that these three
People were not killed by those children."
"The deaths of these three people are obviously related to those brats' Apa Ata."
Ayimaimaiti just made it clear that these three people were killed by adults who were several children together.
Aheqi explained aggrievedly: "Just now, my mouth was one step faster than my brain. Of course I know everything you said. I just can't figure out what heinous things those brats did during their lifetime. It was worse than killing people and mutilating corpses."
Are people's hearts even more ugly? Worse than animals?"
His question, of course, no one can answer.
“If you want to know the answer, you can find out after tonight.” When Jin An spoke, he looked at the incomplete clay Buddha statue in the main hall of the Buddhist temple.
He brought five imps to the Buddhist hall today.
If there is anything weird about this Buddhist temple.
Tonight is the best time to do it.
When the time comes, evil people will be punished by evil people.
After talking about this matter, they talked about another matter, Jin An: "Just now, not long after we entered the Buddhist hall, I noticed a total of two groups of people, peeping from two directions, one was in the Buddhist hall
The one in the southeast corner and the one in the northwest corner of the Buddhist hall, just sandwiching the Buddhist hall."
Young Master Yiyun followed the two directions mentioned by Jin An, glanced flatly, and nodded slightly: "It seems like there must be something weird about this Buddhist hall."
Jin'an: "No matter what secrets are hidden in this Buddhist hall, let's get through tonight safely first."
Everyone nodded.
Although they were the last to enter the Buddhist Kingdom, it now seems that the three parties are at the same starting point.
Even.
They temporarily changed their appearance, deceived the ghosts, and occupied the Buddhist hall one step ahead, giving them a temporary advantage.
In fact, according to Jin An's idea, it is safest for everyone to stay in the most spacious hall together, but those five brats refused to enter the hall until they were beaten to death. In the end, they had to find a room that was relatively complete and had windows to observe the outside at any time.
Situation room for overnight stay.
Tonight is a bit special, and it has already entered the second half of the night, and it will be dawn soon. Everyone is not going to sleep, and they have decided to stay vigil together until dawn.
Although the five children had been frightened all the way since they entered the Buddhist hall, they were all a little exhausted after struggling for so long. As the night fell and people were in a quiet environment, waves of sleepiness came over them, and their eyelids
It became heavier and heavier, my head bit by bit, and then I couldn't resist the deep sleepiness and fell asleep.
In the dark room without a bonfire for lighting, Jin An closed his eyes and glanced at the direction where the five children were sleeping. He closed his eyes again and meditated, letting go of his six senses. In this state, his six senses were the most acute.
When alertness is highest.
The night is dark.
Feeling more sleepy.
“How much is this?”
“How much is this?”
“How much is this?”
Rob is one of the only five children left. In his daze, he heard a childish voice repeatedly, repeating the same sentence in his ear, as if there was a person with black eye sockets who was almost face to face with him.
Stand together, and the other person raises a few fingers for him to count.
He opened his eyes in a daze, and when he was about to see clearly who was standing in front of him, he found that the other person was gone.
He suddenly woke up, and then hurriedly pushed to wake up the others, only to find that the others were fast asleep.
Even Master Tashi was fast asleep. No matter how hard he pushed and shouted, he couldn't wake everyone up.
The face wearing a mask that was worse than a pig or a dog seemed to be so scared that his pupils were trembling. He tightly grasped an amulet hanging around his neck, and then jumped out through the dilapidated window that had been burned by the fire.
He ran desperately outside the earthen wall of the Buddhist hall.
He knew that coming here was the biggest mistake. This place had hated them for a long time, but they couldn't do it because they would die sooner or later! But he didn't expect that the master Tashi invited this time was so unreliable.
He was so easily captivated that he couldn't even sleep.
At this time, he was running desperately, clutching the amulet tightly in his hand, holding on tighter and tighter, even though his neck was in severe pain from being strangled, five people had already died back then. He didn't want to die, so he could only hold on to the amulet desperately.
run.
There was something wrong with the wall today. He usually climbed over the earth wall easily, but today he couldn't climb over it. He was so anxious that he jumped over and over again.
At this moment, a completely unfamiliar man's voice rang in his ear: "It turns out that ghosts can also strangle themselves to death. It's true that evil people will have their own troubles."
This sentence was said in Chinese, and Rob couldn't understand it, but it was like a slap in the face, waking him up from his hallucination.
When he opened his eyes, he found that he was still in the house and had not escaped by jumping out of the window at all. His previous jumping over the wall was actually his constant kicking before death. He pinched himself tightly with both hands.
Because his hand was too strong, his neck was broken by him, leaving only a little bit of skin still connected.
If he wakes up a little later, he will end up separated from his body and head.
Rob straightened his neck, which was about to fall off. There was black blood flowing out from the broken neck. He glanced in the direction of Master Tashi in confusion. The person who spoke Chinese just now seemed to be the closest Master Tashi to him?
But before he could think too much, Master Tashi did not bring a Gabala instrument or a Tsa Tsa Buddha. Instead, he actually brought a long sword with a red scabbard and slashed toward the window sill menacingly.
Boom!
The window sill, which was blackened by the fire and was already abandoned and dilapidated, could not withstand the force of the sword's sheath and exploded into pieces. There was someone hiding behind the window sill at some point, and he was caught off guard by the knife and flew to the ground.
But this thing was very fast. As soon as it hit the ground, it disappeared on the spot, causing Jin An to crash out from behind the window sill and chase after him.
With a thud, several pieces of earth and rocks fell from the second floor, smashing into powder on the ground.
Jin An narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the clay Buddha statue in the hall in front of him. He snorted and chased after him.
As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he felt that his vision was blurred. The incomplete clay Buddha statue in front of him actually gave birth to Buddha's light in the gloomy underworld. In the Buddha's light, he seemed to see the present sutra, as if he saw the past sutra, and saw what happened thousands of years ago.
The unknown truth in this Buddhist temple.
He saw sadness, he saw anger.
Seeing the pain,
I saw animals that were inferior to pigs and dogs.
If the Buddha also has anger.
This Buddhist country will die if it dies, which is not a pity.
