Chapter 392
"Only these few are left to support you?!"
"That's enough." Erjia smiled, not hiding his true thoughts, and calmly explained to Chen Bofu, "In fact, it's enough to leave me alone. If we really encounter the kind of trouble that even you and I can't solve together, leaving others here is no different from sending them to death."
Chen Jing looked behind Erjia silently, and saw that there were only five elders who stayed with him in Jiridu, namely Sheng, Si, Sha, Wu, and Grandma Hong who had already retired from the elders' seat to enjoy her old age.
Elder Shengbumie still looked kind and amiable, and his attitude towards Chen Jing was obviously more friendly than other elders, but at this moment he couldn't help but look solemn, frowning and looking uneasy.
The armless old man standing beside him was murderous, and he was always staring at the two outsiders with a vigilant look. His thin face was a cruel and cold expression. He was also the only elder among the nine elders of the temple who was not afraid of Chen Bofu.
"Hurry up." The elder who spoke was holding a white bone crutch in his hand. The 108 heads hanging on it were all open-eyed, staring at the ground under the feet of everyone, as if afraid of something.
Among the elders present, Wu Jixing, the fat and big-eared monk, was the calmest. Even though it was the most life-and-death moment, he still held a jar of honey in his own way, staring at the dark clouds in the sky in a daze while throwing candy into his mouth. When he was thirsty, he opened his mouth to catch some rain...
In fact, Wu Jixing was the elder who impressed Chen Jing the most, because this fat man never looked at them straight from beginning to end. It was not that he deliberately despised or provoked them, but simply... a little stupid, right?
He was in a daze when we first met.
He is still in a daze now.
There is no other expression on that slightly silly face, and no one knows what he is thinking.
At this moment.
Grandma Hong was sitting on a stone pier in the distance, holding a red oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and Qiao Youning, who was beside her, saw Chen Jing coming and hurriedly picked up another umbrella and trotted over to greet him.
"You have to hold an umbrella when it rains, otherwise what if you catch a cold..." Qiao Youning just opened the umbrella and saw Chen Jing smiled.
"We are all old descendants, are we still afraid of this little rain?" Chen Jing pointed to the rain curtain that was gradually parting above his head, as if even these cold and biting rain were afraid of him, and took the initiative to avoid Chen Jing's body one meter away.
At the same time, Erjia had already walked to the side with Chen Bofu.
"The seal's eye is right below." Erjia squatted down and pointed at the one-meter-wide black crack in front of him. "He will go down by himself in a while. We can just wait for him outside."
"He's not my grandson, so I can use him with confidence." Chen Bofu said sarcastically.
"Don't think so badly of us..." Erjia was afraid that the old madman would think too much, so he hurriedly explained, "The space below is too narrow. If too many people go there, it will be bad. They have been digging tunnels underground in the past two days. Only one person goes down at a time."
At this time, Chen Jing also came over with Qiao Youning. He first took a look at the eye of the formation that Erjia pointed to, and then looked into the distance along this bottomless crack.
"Youning, is this the holy mark you mentioned?"
"Yes, this holy mark is connected to the space where the Buddha Mother is sealed, and it spreads for hundreds of miles in the mountain!"
Although Chen Jing was mentally prepared for the risk before coming, he couldn't help but get nervous at this moment.
This entrance to the underground seal is too narrow... It's like a random crack in the ground. I don't know how deep it is below, and I don't know if the space below will be narrower.
For someone like Chen Jing who has a bit of claustrophobia, the thought of jumping down with his physical body is also unbearable. He is always afraid that he will be stuck in a corner of the ground halfway...
"How about I go down first?" Chen Bofu looked back at Chen Jing with some worry.
"If I really encounter danger, I can run faster than you."
Chen Jing rejected the old man's suggestion, stood next to the entrance pointed by Erga, took a deep breath, and tried to calm his anxiety.
"Grandpa, you help me keep an eye on her outside."
"Yes."
"Especially her..." Chen Jing gave the old man a look, signaling him to help keep an eye on Qiao Youning, "Youning has a close relationship with the Buddha Mother, and the relationship between the two is deeper than that of others. Once the Buddha Mother escapes and goes crazy... Don't hesitate, just take her away."
Chen Bofu thought for a while with a cigarette in his mouth, then nodded and said, "Okay, what about you?"
"Grandpa, are you still worried that I can't run faster than you?" Chen Jing smiled.
After saying that, without waiting for Chen Bofu to ask anything else, he jumped from the entrance of the crack in the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly surrounded them, and even the stupid fat monk ran over.
In the bottomless crack in the ground, everyone couldn't see Chen Jing's figure clearly. They only vaguely heard a sharp sound of wind whistling underground, and then saw a little golden light suddenly appear, like a golden bean emerging out of thin air in the darkness...
This increasingly dazzling golden light spread rapidly in the darkness.
It took only a few seconds.
The "holy scar" within a few miles was completely illuminated by it.
The dark space was as bright as day.
It was like a golden sun suddenly appeared from the ground!
At this moment, Erga placed his right hand on the ground without warning, pinched his fingers with his left hand and whispered two spells, and the red rope wrapped around his hand suddenly broke away from his wrist and expanded at a speed visible to the naked eye...
Under Chen Bofu's vigilant eyes, the red rope had twisted its body and drilled into the crack in the ground, just like the foam glue used by renovation workers to fill the gaps. It began to increase its volume at an extremely terrifying speed, silently filling the vacant holy marks... and completely sealed the entrance to the underground space.
"Give an explanation." Chen Bofu said calmly, his turbid eyes as calm as dead water, "Otherwise I will throw all of you down now to play a big adventure with my grandson."
"The energy tide caused by the Buddha Mother's escape is not something that mortals in Polar Day City can resist. I just made a safety back-up." Erga explained.
Chen Bofu frowned and said nothing. His eyes moved away from Erga's face and glanced at the rest of the people present, but he didn't see any flaws.
"It's going to rain heavily."
The silly elder who had been silent all the time suddenly spoke, opened his mouth wide and took a big mouthful of rain, and swallowed it into his stomach with a gulp.
Chen Bofu glanced at him, then looked up at the dense and continuous dark clouds, and saw lightning flashing in the clouds, but it never made any sound.
"A Jing seems to hate rain."
Hearing Qiao Youning's sudden words, Chen Bofu nodded subconsciously and said that it was true. The child seemed to dislike rain since he was a child. It might be that he was psychologically traumatized by the heavy rain during the Sacrifice Moon Period in Yongye City...
"Don't worry too much, old man, A Jing will be fine."
Qiao Youning turned his eyes away from the dark clouds, then looked at the old man who was sighing with worry on his face, and couldn't help but comfort him softly.
"Don't worry, old man. He will be fine."
Chapter 537 Three Thousand Buddhas Sitting and Lying in the Temple (Part 1)
During the days when the elders of the temple were preparing, Chen Jing was not idle. Every late night, he would secretly go underground to observe the movements of the Buddha Mother, so he was also very familiar with the space where the Buddha Mother was... It was dark and lightless, like a desolate vacuum universe.
But at this moment, Chen Jing found that the place he was in was not quite right. It was different from the dark space he had seen before.
After falling down thousands of meters in the cracks in the ground.
Suddenly.
Chen Jing felt that he fell into the water.
It was like taking a hot spring bath.
The initial feeling was indescribable warmth, even more comfortable than all Chen Jing's bathing experiences in reality.
Compared with the sticky but refreshing touch that seemed to be at two extremes, Chen Jing felt that the strangest thing about this liquid that wrapped himself was the temperature.
Yes.
The temperature was very strange.
The temperature of this water area is very clever, as if it has found the "point" that can make you feel the most comfortable. The temperature is neither high nor low, and it will only make you feel refreshed and relaxed from the soul when you soak in it... Even Chen Jing himself doesn't know this temperature point, and it seems that it cannot be adjusted by human power.
When did this pool of "hot springs" appear under the holy mountain?
Chen Jing couldn't figure it out.
Gradually.
He felt that his consciousness became a little fuzzy, just like he gradually began to feel dizzy after soaking in the hot spring for a long time, but unlike the previous discomfort, this dizziness was a kind of light and indescribable comfort, as if all his limbs were completely relaxed at this moment, and every cell in his body was yawning and ready to have a good sleep...
Sleep.
Chen Jing felt that there was only this thought in his mind.
Even if he was in the cave of the holy mountain.
Only an inch away from the seal of the Buddha Mother.
But his subconscious mind was still urging him to sleep. It was too tiring to live awake in this world. It would be better to have a good sleep and never wake up again until the end of time...
No!
Can't fall asleep!!!
In this "extreme comfort" that cannot be described in words, Chen Jing suddenly opened his eyes wide, and his body, which was almost in a deep sleep, also moved at this moment...Those cells in his body that were yawning and ready to sleep forever were being stimulated by deep space energy to enter an active state.
In the endless darkness.
Chen Jing almost turned into a human-shaped phantom composed of golden holy light.
The deep space energy in his eyes continued to burn like a flame, and like a spark in the wilderness, these lights fueled by deep space energy gradually illuminated the darkness underground...
That was the moment Chen Jing woke up.
He suddenly found that he had left the comfortable unknown liquid.
Without any signs and sensory feedback.
Chen Jing came to the deepest part of the underground.
This was a space he had never touched in his previous explorations. He even doubted whether the scene he saw was real or fake. Could it be an illusion created by the Buddha Mother?
"Where on earth is this..."
Chen Jing sat paralyzed on a withered grass. When his palms gently brushed the withered and yellow weeds, the information fed back by the touch was so real that he could even smell the smell of soil mixed in the breeze.
It was like Sentinel Hill before the rainstorm.
The hometown that held countless memories for him.
"So something went wrong..." Chen Jing sat cross-legged on the grass and rubbed his temples with his index finger, trying to alleviate the overwhelming dizziness. "The results of several previous detections were the same... Under the Holy Mountain is an independent space...like a vacuum universe swallowed by darkness...but now everything has changed..."
Chen Jing couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone what those transparent liquids floating in the sky and surging like an ocean were...
certainly.
What was most difficult for Chen Jing to understand was the barren mountains and mountains he was in.
There is air, there is breeze, there are plants, there is soil...
Judging from the temperature, it should be around 27 or 8 degrees.
You can still vaguely hear the noisy chirping of cicadas coming from the nearby mountains and forests.
"Could it be that I was ejected by the Buddha Mother's seal... and teleported to another place inexplicably..."
"No...if I am forcibly teleported away...the deep space will give me a reminder...the coordinates of the space where I am should not change..."
While Chen Jing was thinking, he slowly dissipated the deep space energy in his body, spreading it in all directions at an almost unobservable speed. At the same time, he suddenly summoned the deep space splendor, like mink velvet wrapped around his shoulders. Be on guard for him.
soon.
Through the feedback data obtained from deep space energy detection, Chen Jing gained a new understanding of the space he was in.
It's not as big as it looks.
Although the surrounding environment seems to be very similar to the outside world, the area here is actually only about ten square kilometers. The space outside the mountains is just a "map scene" and is not real.
If you want to break out of this mountain, you will only hit the invisible wall of air. That must be the method of the Buddha Mother, which even blocks the detection of dimensional coordinates in deep space... In other words, Chen Jing cannot leave here.
After he received the feedback from the deep space energy, he immediately tried his own escape method of pressing under the box. Unfortunately, this space was like a cage that completely imprisoned him. Deep space jumping became a useless power here. It can't be used.
Fortunately, the path back to deep space is not blocked. Once he encounters an irresistible danger, he can jump directly back into deep space... But this can only be done. If he wants to return to the outside world from deep space , then he can only appear at the coordinate point where he disappeared.
If you're lucky, nothing might happen.
If you are unlucky enough to meet the kind of person who likes to guard corpses, it will probably be a lot of fun.
"It's really weird... Even Turing's digital space can't stop me from performing deep space jump... That's a place more complicated than two-dimensionalization... Even the dimensional rules there can't restrict me... This damn place is Can trap me!"
Chen Jing patted the grass clippings on his trouser legs, stood up with a puzzled look on his face, looked up at the sparkling sky, and then walked deeper into the mountains without looking back.
According to the feedback data from deep space energy detection, there is a unique building in this space hidden in the mountains.
That might be the answer he wants.
"It seems that the Buddha Mother is not just trying to break the seal..."
When Chen Jing came to the building, he felt that the breeze in the mountains suddenly stopped, and the realistic and noisy cicadas disappeared without a trace.
It was a dilapidated ancient temple.
The golden plaque in front of the door had already fallen to the ground and shattered into pieces. Chen Jing could only vaguely distinguish an ancient text from the remains of the golden plaque, which was a common font in the old days...
"Buddha?"
