Chapter 388
Hearing this, the expression on Grandma Hong's face suddenly became even more ugly.
"How could I not blame him! Isn't it because of him that you accepted the 'Buddha Mother's Blessing' in advance! Do you know how much risk you faced at that time?!"
Qiao Youning didn't explain anything, she just held the old lady's arm and rocked her coquettishly like a child.
After scolding for a while, Grandma Hong lost her temper and finally could only sigh.
In a quiet side room.
For a moment there was only the occasional crackling sound of the burning candle.
"You Ning, do you think what you did for him...is it worth it?"
…
Deep underground in the temple.
Chen Jing has successfully arrived at a huge cave that seems to be naturally formed.
Here he not only saw the "seal" mentioned by Ega and others, but he also saw the mother Buddha in a violent state at a glance.
to be honest.
Before Chen Jing came, he had never thought that things would be so difficult, let alone that he would see such a terrifying scene here... It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Jing felt that he would have nightmares when he returned.
"Are all the monks in the temple crazy..."
Chen Jing held his breath and concentrated to maintain himself in the "state of nothingness".
He looked at the huge figure that kept attacking the seal, feeling horrified and puzzled.
"That group of monks dared to associate the entire Jiju City with this thing... What on earth do they want to do?!"
Chapter 529: The Umbilical Cord of the Buddha Mother (Part 1)
After inheriting the memory of King Huang, Chen Jing's definition of "biological things" in his mind is no longer as rigid as before. At least he knows that some things that have nothing to do with "biological things" can actually be counted as "biological things". within the scope".
But the true nature of the Buddha Mother... really gave him a lot of insight.
The Buddha Mother is a huge cloud-like amorphous substance, perhaps some extremely sticky liquid substance, squirming silently in the huge underground space, suspended in the sky as if it is not affected by gravity.
If ordinary people were allowed to observe the Buddha Mother's true body, the result that might be observed would be just this. There is a layer of black mist on the body that cannot be dispelled, making it impossible to see what it looks like.
But let Chen Jing see it...
That layer of fog is actually the afterimage left behind by the Buddha's rapid transformation of body form.
The body of the Buddha Mother is constantly changing. It seems to be trying its best to simulate the appearance of all living things in the world, whether it is humans or animals, or insects and fish in the water, or even polluted species in the wasteland... everything All the creatures are the objects that Buddha Mother strives to imitate.
But I don't know what the reason is.
Maybe the Buddha Mother is too impatient?
The biological forms it simulates are extremely terrifying to people, and it can only simulate the incomplete appearance of those creatures.
Either it turns into a giant jellyfish with thousands of limbs twisted into a ball, or it turns into an irregular meat ball made up of countless biological organs.
This change is calculated in milliseconds, and only the old descendants with dynamic vision beyond ordinary people can barely see it clearly. What makes Chen Jing shudder the most... is that the Buddha Mother simulated "his" form.
The first time he came to the underground space, Chen Jing noticed the existence of the seal. It was an "air wall" that could not be observed with the naked eye. It roughly maintained an extremely regular spherical shape. The Buddha Mother was shrouded in this Inside the spherical colorless transparent seal.
Chen Jing always kept himself in a "state of nothingness", so he felt that he would not be seen by the Buddha outside the seal.
After all, after being promoted to the sequence, he has become more proficient in the power of hiding and sneaking. Not only can he completely isolate his own aura, but he can also temporarily strip away his own existence from the dimension...
Therefore, it is impossible for the Buddha Mother to discover him.
This is also true.
The Buddha Mother did not find him.
But in the process of constantly changing her biological form, the Buddha Mother suddenly changed into a form that Chen Jing was very familiar with, and in this form... the Buddha Mother stopped.
It was a bloody, swollen and deformed human head.
No matter how you look at it.
Chen Jingdu felt that the appearance of that head was very familiar...
Then isn't it me? !
Chen Jing didn't know why the Buddha had to imitate his own appearance, and the imitation was extremely rough. The swollen and deformed head looked like a giant that had been soaked in water. The dark and white skin was covered with scarlet cracks. The huge The eyeballs are even more dented like deflated balloons...
What Chen Jing couldn't accept the most was that amidst a sticky squirming sound, the head that looked very similar to his split open without warning... Although he had already been mentally prepared to see it continue to swell. The trend is like a balloon that keeps blowing up. Sooner or later it will burst.
But the moment I saw it falling apart.
Chen Jing was still shocked.
Because after the swollen and deformed head split, countless bowl-sized heads poured out like insects and ants.
They all have faces very similar to Chen Jing's, and they keep making sounds similar to babies' laughter, and occasionally make meaningless noises.
Even though Chen Jing had horrifying scenes from the old days stored in his mind, and had seen those weird polluted species in the wasteland, he still felt an inexplicable palpitation when he saw countless faces similar to his own.
It was a feeling so disgusting that I shuddered.
What on earth does the Buddha Mother want to do? ?
Why do you want to simulate what I look like? ?
Chen Jing's mind was filled with questions.
And while those heads were surging like a tidal wave and constantly hitting the "wall of air", Chen Jing vaguely saw some strange "threads"...
They are much thinner than hair, and even Chen Jing can't tell their color. Even though his visual ability has exceeded that of most ancient descendants, he still can't see it if he doesn't look carefully.
Those threads are divided into two ends.
One end is connected to the split heads of the Buddha Mother.
The other end extends upward...
Chen Jing didn't know where the other ends of these threads went at first, until he heard the prompt in his mind and slowly lowered his head to see... There happened to be such a "silk thread" on his left chest.
It seemed to be rooted deep in Chen Jing's heart, penetrating his body and transcending the seal.
…
When Chen Jing returned to the guest room from the underground space, Chen Boxu was still lying on the bed sleeping, snoring loudly.
The moment he sensed Chen Jing's breath, the old man turned over very smoothly, rested his face on his hands, and opened his eyes lazily.
"How's the situation?"
"Something's not quite right."
Chen Jing lowered his head as if searching for something on his chest. From time to time he would raise his hand and make a few feints, with an indescribably solemn expression on his face.
"Why are you so fussy...are you getting prickly heat on your chest?"
"Grandpa, can you see a thread here?" Chen Jing pointed to the location where the thread was rooted, and felt his scalp was numb. "Besides the seal of the Buddha Mother underground, I can see it... but when I come out, I can see it. Gone."
Upon hearing what Chen Jing said, the old man suddenly became interested, but more worried.
He was afraid that something might happen to his only good grandson, so he hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Jing check it, but after searching for a while he couldn't find the thread he mentioned.
"No...what on earth did you see?"
"I found the Buddha Mother underground before..."
Chen Jing briefly told the old man what he saw and heard underground, and the old man was quite surprised after hearing it, especially when Chen Jing mentioned the threads extending from the ground...
"How do you know those things are connected to the people in Jizhou City?" Chen Boxu couldn't understand this.
Hearing the old man's question, Chen Jing couldn't help but be stunned.
How to say this?
You can't just say it's the result of analysis by "him" in your mind, right?
"breath."
Suddenly, "his" voice sounded in Chen Jing's mind.
"As I told you before, those threads have different biological breaths. They are strong or weak. They are completely different from the breath of the Buddha Mother. Most of them are even the breath of ordinary people..."
Chen Jing repeated it to the old man according to "his" explanation.
The old man fell silent after hearing this, with a puzzled expression on his face. He seemed to be analyzing the reason why the Buddha Mother did this... Let the Buddha Mother's body be connected to the residents of Jiju City, and even outsiders like Chen Jing Everyone is being treated like this, so have you also been tricked?
Thinking of this, Chen Boxu raised his hand and touched his chest, and the look in his eyes became more and more dangerous.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Two distinguished guests, the time has come. Lord Ega asked me to invite you to the [Buddha Mother Hall] for a banquet..."
Chapter 530: The Umbilical Cord of the Buddha Mother (Part 2)
Chen Boxu originally planned to fall out directly, because after listening to Chen Jing's story, he suddenly felt like he had been tricked by these thieves.
Although Chen Bofu had always thought highly of them, at least he felt that these monks were quite shameless and couldn't do things like stabbing people in the back...
"You don't necessarily want to harm us." Chen Jing finally persuaded the old man who was about to get angry. "We can just ask Erga directly during the banquet."
Facts have proved that the old man still listened to his good grandson. At least for the time being, he was persuaded by Chen Jing.
However, Chen Bofu's vigilance has reached an unprecedented height, and it seems that he no longer has any trust in the temple.
When following the elder to the [Buddha Mother Hall] for the banquet, Chen Jing was also chatting quietly with the old man, expressing that he did not understand the customs here in Jizhou City.
It is possible to hold a banquet and have late-night snacks in the middle of the night, and the place for late-night snacks can actually be placed in the main hall of the temple dedicated to the Mother of Buddha...
Think about it.
Both Chen Jing and the old man felt that the purity of this group of monks' faith was too low, and could not even compare to the group of monks in Yongye City.
After all, judging from Chen Jing's understanding of the monks, if someone dares to say that they want to go to the church where they worship Gheluo for supper, it is estimated that those monks will turn against you directly.
Arrive at the banquet hall.
Chen Jing found that it was even quieter than during the day.
Except for Ega who was sitting in the main seat, the other elders did not show up...
"Where are your younger brothers?" Chen Bofu walked in first without hesitation, and while asking questions in a rude tone, he carefully looked at the environment in the hall, as if he was wondering whether the temple was planning an ambush and a sneak attack, "I haven't even eaten yet. If you don’t come, where will you die?”
"They are getting ready." Erga smiled and warmly greeted Chen Jing and the others to take their seats.
Hearing the dull sound coming from behind, Chen Jing subconsciously glanced back before sitting down, only to find that the palace door had been closed.
Compared with the last time they came here, the [Buddha Hall] seemed darker at this moment. Only the candle in front of the seated statue of the Buddha was still swaying silently, and the other ever-burning lamps had been extinguished.
After taking a seat.
Chen Jing smelled the aroma that hit his nose, lowered his head and took a casual look, only to find that the delicacies in the temple were very similar to Chinese dishes in the real world, and the exquisite presentation was almost as good as a state banquet...
“The meat is good, quite fresh.”
Chen Bofu was already using his chopsticks at this moment. He picked up a piece of meat as thin as a cicada's wing and had a scarlet color, then put it into his mouth and chewed it carefully.
"This meat still has some residual energy...where did it come from?"
"Picked from the tree," Erga replied with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Boxu's chopsticks immediately stopped in mid-air, but he quickly put it on the plate, took a piece, and continued to eat slowly.
Only Chen Jing didn't move his chopsticks and looked at Ega in surprise... Picked from a tree?
"I have heard before that there are many strange things growing on the holy mountain of your temple. Among them is a strange tree that can grow 'human fruit'. The fruit is three feet long and two feet wide, and looks like a fat man. Like a doll..."
As he spoke, Chen Bofu paused, and a mocking smile suddenly appeared on his face.
"Not to mention, this thing looks meaty but is actually vegetarian. Your temple's vegetarian diet is really a way to become a monk..." Seeing that Chen Jing didn't move his chopsticks, Chen Bofu took the initiative to pick up a piece of fried scarlet for him. Pulp, "Egah, aren't you a little rude if your disciples and grandsons don't come to keep you company?"
"Actually, I didn't let them come." Erga sighed, "It's enough for me to accompany you to talk about business."
"Well... Speaking of which, I just have something to ask you." Chen Bofu was not afraid that these bald donkeys would poison his food, so he ate and chatted on his own, "My grandson went to meet me underground in Jiju City before. As for the Buddha Mother, he found something strange about the Buddha Mother..."
Chen Boxu spoke in an extremely relaxed tone, as if he was chatting with an old friend about trivial matters. He recounted the scene Chen Jing saw in a few words.
