Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game: Chapter 53 Group travel thirteen
Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu had never seen the inside of the main hall, let alone thought that the ferry would be hidden inside.
If the ghost king is a half-faced Buddha... the danger is doubled.
The door of the main hall was closed tightly, and the leading monk raised his hand and slowly pushed the heavy door, and the magnificent and magnificent scene inside the hall jumped into view.
Two rows of red lotus lanterns are lit in the hall, and the silent and bright candlelight illuminates every corner of the hall.
Several monks in red cassocks sat in front of the lamp, closed their eyes and chanted, making way for a wide and clean road in the middle, which leads to the largest and most conspicuous statue in the hall—half-faced holy Buddha.
This is the second time they saw the half-faced holy Buddha.
Half compassionate and half glaring, it's no different from the first time I saw it, and the huge sense of oppression remains the same.
Most importantly, they didn't see the ferry.
The sound of swaying water was clearly in their ears, and then they didn't even see the shadow of the lonely light at the ferry, as if they had hallucinations and heard it wrong.
Others have the same doubts.
why? Could it be that there are other exits hidden here, waiting for them to find out? ? ?
Jing Ruyu and the two began to look at every wall and every tile of the hall, looking at every corner, but they still found nothing, not even a shadow of a door.
Xia Zhiyi saw two wide red cloths hanging on both sides of the half-faced Buddha, as if they were blocking something, she unconsciously took a step forward.
The monks in the hall who closed their eyes and chanted Buddhist scriptures suddenly opened their eyes, their gazes were like nails, nailing her in unison, nailing her in place, not daring to move any further.
The guiding monk also turned around and looked at her: "In front of the Holy Buddha, please don't move rashly, so as not to offend the Holy Buddha."
Xia Zhiyi: "..."
She was honest now, and gave the monk an "OK" and please gesture-okay, okay, she didn't move.
At this time, a wild dog suddenly ran in from the outside, ran straight to the little monk who was feeding it, rubbed and acted like a baby beside him, as if it wanted to play with him.
It even ran to the half-faced Buddha statue and lay down, sticking out its tongue innocently, looking at everyone in the hall, as if it was the spiritual pet under the seat of the holy Buddha, and everything should be done as it should.
None of the monks were angry with it.
The leading monk asked the little monk to take the dog out with a good temper.
Xia Zhiyi watched one person and one dog leave in harmony, and looked back at Jing Ruyu with emotion—humans are not as good as dogs.
Jing Ruyu gently shook her hand, expressing sympathy.
The leading monk went forward, lit a few sticks of incense, and then returned to distribute them to them, asking them to offer incense to the holy Buddha in pairs, and reminded them to be pious.
Even Little Bear had a share, but her attitude towards offering incense was not very pious, she stepped in, and then stood aside to watch them offer incense, without caring.
The guiding monk dared not say anything to her at all.
Little Bear doesn't care about these messy rituals.
Their quest NPCs are on an equal footing with the Ghost King. Naturally, they are not afraid of anything in the dungeon, without any restrictions, and don't have to abide by every rule in the dungeon.
Cao An was in her group, not daring to be perfunctory like her, so he bowed devoutly and hurriedly gave way to the people behind.
Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu followed with incense sticks.
They put the incense into the incense burner calmly, and looked up at the big Buddha.
The majestic momentum of the mountain seems to be toppled down at any time, making people unable to turn over, and the solemn and solemn eyes seem to stay on the person's body all the time, following him like a shadow, making people have nowhere to hide.
At this time, Jing Ruyu suddenly saw the corner of the mouth of the great Buddha slightly raised at a distorted and sinister angle.
She even heard a voice whispering in her ear: "Your secret will have nowhere to hide."
This voice is composed of countless voices, solemn, sacred, and full of unknowns and mysteries, like ancient gods predicting the future.
Jing Ruyu couldn't help being startled, and suddenly regained consciousness.
Looking at the Buddha statue again, the face was still the same, the curvature of the corner of the mouth was still the same, it hadn't changed, as if she had just had a very short dream.
Confused, she and Xia Zhiyi walked away, still looking at the huge Buddha statue from time to time.
Feng Jiqiang and Wei Chuchu followed Shangxiang.
Feng Jiqiang looked up at the holy Buddha, frowned for a moment, then returned to normal, and walked away without any change.
They can't do anything except offer incense and pay respects to the face of the holy Buddha. Their every move is under the supervision of the monks and they cannot move freely.
After offering incense and worshiping the holy Buddha, the leading monk explained the history of this hall, and then led them out of the main hall.
Walking out of the main hall, he began to arrange for people to go in to do the cleaning work every night.
Xia Zhiyi watched the monks walking in with buckets and mops unhindered, as if they wanted to clean the entire main hall inside and out.
If it wasn't for the fact that the giant Buddha couldn't turn over, they probably would have to wash the base for him.
Xia Zhiyi came up with a plan, and immediately volunteered, raising her hand: "I want to help clean up too!
"Free, no money!"
Seeing this, everyone responded one after another.
Looking for a ferry in the name of cleaning, it's perfect!
Seeing them actively serving the Holy Buddha, the monk couldn't help feeling relieved, smiled kindly, and said, "We appreciate the kindness of the benefactors, but this matter is left to us, and we don't bother you to do it."
It means nothing to let them take over.
Xia Zhiyi sighed regretfully.
The plan failed.
This is the end of today's night travel activities. This trip seems to be deliberately telling them that the ferry is here, trying to test how much courage they have to come here to find it.
Bear dutifully took them back to the hotel.
Before leaving, she smiled mysteriously and said: "There are no arrangements for the whole day tomorrow, you can feel the customs of the people here freely.
"And... when needed, I will appear."
After finishing speaking, I left. Not a single word was explained.
Cao An was at a loss: "What does she mean by that? What does it mean to show up when needed?"
Xia Zhiyi shook her head: "I don't know, the free mission NPC has a free soul, right?"
Cao An sighed deeply: "I'm really envious, I also want to be so free, I can find a place to hide for a while, otherwise I have to face those little devils again at night..."
Xia Zhiyi patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.
Jing Ruyu didn't participate in their conversation, and Feng Jiqiang was watching the conversation.
They didn't know what they had agreed on. After nodding, Feng Jiqiang turned around and walked along the way they came back, as if planning to go to the Supreme Buddha Temple again.
Jing Ruyu glanced at his watch.
22:25, thirty-five minutes until eleven o'clock.
Counting the time to come and go, it is really time-consuming to go to the Supreme Buddha Temple.
Since Feng Jiqiang and the others are bold and skilled, let them go.
After all, with their temper, no one else can stop them.
Jing Ruyu didn't intend to follow, there was still some time, she and Xia Zhiyi were going to visit the night market, anyway the night market closed at eleven o'clock.
The night markets here are no different from those in the real world.
The whole street is full of food, people come and go, it is very lively.
Especially in the familiar smoky room, it can make people relax enough to produce an illusion that they have returned to the real world.
It is a pity that they have no money and cannot buy things.
The vendors could tell that they were tourists from other places, and they enthusiastically provided free samples.
Xia Zhiyi didn't refuse, and Sheniudi took this opportunity to get acquainted with the owner of the fried noodle stall, and started chatting to get information.
She thought of the little monster last night, and asked, "Sister, are all the Buddhas here only one year old?"
The boss replied casually: "That's right, once you're one year old, you can go to the temple to receive blessings."
The tone is relaxed, the attitude is calm and there is no fear, obviously they don't know what will happen to the Buddhist disciples.
Jing Ruyu and Xia Zhiyi looked at each other and asked, "No one over one year old?"
Hearing this question, the boss stopped what he was doing, thought about it seriously, and a vague memory appeared in his mind.
"If you ask that, it seems that there is a..."
She tried hard to remember, and finally remembered: "Oh, I remembered, there was a family whose child was raised by extra gifts until he was three years old and then sent to the temple. I remember it was a little girl.
"But the child disappeared later, and her family couldn't find it no matter how hard they looked.
"Someone said that they saw the child running into the woods over there by themselves, and the family suspected that Grandma Luo had stolen it.
"Grandma Luo, do you know? She is an old woman who is often crazy here, and she was caught stealing a child before!
"The family wanted to go in to find the child, but it was easy to get lost as soon as they entered, and they didn't know where it was. When they pressed Grandma Luo, she just calmly said that she didn't steal it, and laughed at them for not looking down on her child. This Will not be crazy again, do you think it is annoying?
"If it weren't for the fact that she is an old man, the family would probably do something about it."
Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu didn't expect this to happen at all.
Xia Zhiyi asked, "Then what happened after that?"
The boss said: "Later, the child was never found. The forest is so big that adults can get lost in it, not to mention the child. If the child has been swallowed by the tigers and beasts inside, most of the people are gone.
"Later, that family was kicked out of the town and not allowed to live with us."
Xia Zhiyi asked in surprise, "Why?"
The boss smiled, and said as it should: "They promised that the Supreme Buddha Temple will raise the child well and then send it to the temple to practice with the holy Buddha, but in the end they looked down on the child, causing the Buddha to disappear and lose faith in the holy Buddha.
"The Holy Buddha blamed them and refused to protect them anymore, so of course he drove them away."
The two fell silent for a moment.
They discovered that the logic of human behavior here revolves around the holy Buddha. If the holy Buddha says wrong, he is wrong. If the holy Buddha says right, he is right. It seems that he has no three views of his own.
And whether this holy Buddha is real, or whether it is the ghost king, they still don't know yet.
"Oh, I didn't expect to chat for so long. It's getting late. It's time for me to close the stall and go home."
Seeing this, the two took the initiative to step forward to help.
After helping the stall owner clean up, they went to the hotel.
Before leaving, the stall owner warmly welcomed them to come back next time.
On the way back, they saw several four- and five-year-old children playing games.
They held hands, formed a circle, and sang the nursery rhyme in circles.
"Little Buddha, grow up quickly. One year old, leave your parents, and you will end your relationship with the world;
"Little Buddha, send blessings here. My son goes to the temple, and Enze comes to the house;
"Little Buddha, don't hold any grudges. If you cultivate for a thousand years, you will be with the body of the Buddha every year!
"Little Buddha, grow up quickly..."
In the lonely night, the immature children's voice gave this nursery rhyme a strange color, which made them unconsciously recall the appearance of the little ghosts who appeared by the bedside every night, and felt that the singing was creepy.
Soon the singing was interrupted.
The parents came out and told them not to make noise at night, and then urged them to go home and sleep.
"..."
It turns out that nursery rhymes can also be heard in this way.
The two continued to walk to the hotel.
The moment they stepped into the hotel, the sound of the radio suddenly rang in their ears—
[Congratulations to the player for finding the ferry and unlocking the opening day reminder.
[Reminder: The ferry will open on time at 8:00 p.m. on the last day of the journey, and the opening time will be three hours. 】
