Chapter 387
It was as if the air had condensed.
The depressing atmosphere made everyone present feel quite uncomfortable, especially the elders sitting behind Erga. Many of the grumpy people were ready to lift the table, because the provocative meaning of Chen Jing's words was much greater than before. Chen Bofu's crazy taunts were much more powerful, not to mention that Chen Jing's words were directly addressed to the leader of the temple, Erga.
"We are not those beasts from the Monastery, nor are we the iron-headed alchemists from the Hanging City... there are some things we cannot do." Erga didn't have any anger in his heart, but showed a curious expression towards Chen Jing, It seemed that he didn't expect that the child Qiao Youning would have such weight in his heart.
threaten?
Or a warning?
Erga looked at Chen Jing with interest, the smile on his face was still so kind and kind, like an elder who doted on his children.
"Lord Erga, I believe you."
Chen Jing suddenly smiled, and the depressing aura on his body disappeared without a trace, as if he had returned to his normal appearance in an instant, with his slightly green face still looking so harmless.
"I'm just worried about the influence of the Buddha Mother on You Ning. After all, she has a very special status in your temple, so I have to think more about it..."
"Are you worried that we will use her as a sacrifice to the Buddha Mother, or are you worried that the Buddha Mother will assimilate her?" Ega asked with interest.
"Both." Chen Jing replied with a smile, without any cover-up.
Erga hummed and fiddled with the rosary beads in his hand.
The kind and kind face was full of smiles, as if he was thinking about something, and he spoke again after a moment.
"We have never used her as a pawn, but I can't guarantee whether she will be assimilated by the Buddha Mother in the future... Just like we ourselves are not exempt from this risk, the more power we borrow from the Buddha Mother, the more we need to pay The price will be higher, you should understand this.”
"As long as I'm here, she doesn't have to do anything, but if I'm not with her, I hope you can help me watch her." Chen Jing said with a smile.
"If she is really given to the Buddha one day..." Erjia looked at Chen Jing and asked calmly.
But before he could finish speaking, Chen Jing suddenly interrupted him.
Under the flickering lights.
Chen Jing silently looked back at the seated statue of the Buddha on the altar, his calm eyes not showing much emotion.
"If she really had an accident because of the Buddha Mother, then your temple may have to change its beliefs."
"presumptuous!!!"
"You are too arrogant!! Do you know what you are talking about?! You are just a resuscitator in deep space..."
"Do you have any objections?"
Just when the elders were furious, Chen Bofu, who had been holding a cigarette in his mouth and remained silent, spoke.
Although the old man still looked lazy, smacking his lips with his chin on his hand, half-opening his eyelids as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment... But the moment he opened his mouth, a chilling energy aura suddenly appeared. It quietly poured out of him.
It was a tide of energy visible to the naked eye.
The energy from the disaster sequence turned into liquid, and the blackness spread in the hall as sticky as ink.
In the blink of an eye.
The splendid Buddha Hall was covered with a thick layer of black mucus, and even the seated statue of the Buddha changed color at this moment.
Accompanied by a weird and sticky sound, countless pairs of eyes slowly opened on this layer of black water, as if there were tens of thousands of weird creatures hiding in it...
Being stared at by them with such vicious and crazy eyes, the other elders except Oga only felt a little shuddered, as if the malicious eyes were like a virus, silently infecting them all. It invades the bone marrow and even spreads deep into the cells, completely cutting off their connection with the Buddha Mother.
"Although I really don't want to be the one who disturbs the situation, I really can't stand your attitude towards my grandson, not to mention looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face. This saying has been spread from your temple... You have all forgotten ?"
Chen Boxu's body was constantly twisting, as if it had been deformed by this invisible energy tide. In an instant, he lost his human form and was just like a wandering gloomy thick fog.
"You scolded my grandson in front of me. I think you are all tired of living..."
At this moment, the elders suddenly remembered what happened back then. It was the year when Chen Boxu fought fiercely with the temple. The psychological shadow he left on everyone has not been eliminated yet... The moving humanoid natural disaster is an unknown source of disaster.
These names seemed to have been given to him by these elders.
at this time.
Suddenly a clear bell rang in the hall.
Before everyone could find the source of the bell, they saw that the black liquid covering the surface of the hall began to fade away, especially the black substance covering the layers of the seated Buddha statue. It disappeared almost instantly, revealing the golden light. The radiant true form of the Mother Buddha.
"Although I remembered that you were small-minded, I didn't expect that after so many years, you really haven't become more big-hearted at all..." Erga said helplessly, "Can we not fight..."
With that said, Erjia suddenly stood up and walked to Chen Jing.
Chen Jing also stood up and looked at the kind old man with a smile on his face.
"Do not worry."
Erjia extended his right hand to Chen Jing and said in a serious tone.
"Whether You Ning is your friend or not, the temple will not let her be wronged, let alone let her become a part of the Buddha Mother... Just like you said, we will keep a close eye on her and will not allow her to If you misuse the power of the Buddha Mother, you will not be easily assimilated by the Buddha Mother.”
"Then we are our own people." Chen Jing held Ega's hand tightly, feeling that it did not look like an old man's hand. The skin was indescribably delicate. "I will try my best to solve the problem of the Buddha Mother. But the premise is that you have to tell me how the entire sealing ritual works, otherwise I can’t do anything.”
"certainly."
Erga said with a smile, looking back at the elder.
"Take these two distinguished guests to the guest room to rest. The banquet will be postponed until midnight for the time being. I will go to the Sutra Pavilion to make a copy of the ritual drawings."
"yes."
…
When leaving the Buddha Mother Hall, Chen Boxu was still a little unhappy.
Because he felt that these monks were not the kind of people who were sensible and good-looking. If the good grandson hadn't been there to persuade him, he would have fallen out with Erga at that time...
"If you ask me, these guys just don't need a lesson. How dare they show off to us!"
"never mind."
Chen Jing supported the old man and walked outside a secluded courtyard of the temple. He had a gentle smile on his face and did not take the attitude of the elders to heart.
"If nothing else, at least they are treating Qiao Youning well so far. Let's forget it for her sake."
Chapter 528: The first light of the lantern·The moth flies into the flame (Part 2)
Since "he" appeared.
Chen Jing suffered from a heart disease that was difficult to heal on his own.
At first, Chen Jing was just worried that the old man and the others would die, but after surviving the disaster in Yongye City, the targets of his worries became Li Mobai and Qiao Youning.
One will die at the hands of the alchemist.
One died at the hands of the Buddha Mother.
Although these all happened in the parallel world, Chen Jing knew very well that if "he" hadn't intervened forcibly, I'm afraid this time and space would have perfectly replicated everything "he" had experienced... By then everyone would have died. Except myself.
so.
Chen Jing has been racking his brains to change all this.
The thing that troubles him the most now is Li Mobai. At present, that kid can no longer be contacted. He must be under house arrest in the digital space by Turing. If his name hadn't been on the candidates' ranking list, Chen Jing would probably have to I wonder if he was secretly killed by Turing...
As for Qiao Youning, Chen Jing felt that after cooperating with the temple, she would no longer be in any danger.
…
"Actually, there are only two dangers she may face. One is that the temple uses her as a human body to house the unconscious Buddha Mother in order to completely control the unconscious Buddha Mother. The other is that she cannot do things on her own and keeps borrowing the Buddha Mother to help you. The power leads to one's own assimilation..."
…
Thinking of what "he" had said, Chen Jing counted on his fingers... He felt that neither possibility was too great.
Let’s talk about the latter possibility first.
At present, her strength has been soaring, and she does not need any help from her. Even if she encounters a problem that cannot be solved, the old man and Gu Shenxi will help her. Her little strength is not enough to fill the gap between her teeth...
As for the former possibility.
The temple uses her as a body to house the Buddha Mother?
Maybe this group of monks had this intention before, but after today, if they still want to do it...unless they don't want to hang out anymore.
Chen Jing feels that his attitude has been very obvious. Once anything happens to Qiao Youning, he will come to the temple to give an explanation as soon as possible, and this explanation is definitely not asking them for an explanation...
Either kill the Buddha Mother.
Either the temple will be wiped out.
Chen Jing will only choose one of these two options.
Or do both together.
Anyway, he has no feelings for the monastery. The reason why he has the patience to talk about cooperation with them is because of Qiao Youning's face. After all, this child is too soft-hearted. He has been bullied by others for almost the first half of his life. It is not easy to find some existence that is like a family... …
"Grandpa, you go to bed and lie down for a while. I'll go down and take a look."
"What the hell?"
Chen Bofu had just taken off his shoes and sat on the bed, complaining about how uncomfortable it was to sleep on such a wooden bed, when he saw his sweet grandson already standing in the corner of the room, jumping up and down and doing warm-up exercises.
"Where are you going?" Chen Boxu asked doubtfully.
"under."
Chen Jing stepped on the ground with his feet, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
"Actually, I don't have full faith in the people in the temple. They asked me to help release the Buddha Mother. I'm afraid it's not that simple... I'll go down and check out the seal first."
"Just you?" Chen Boxu was a little worried.
"It's more convenient for me to be alone, otherwise I would have worries when I take you away..."
After saying that, Chen Jing's figure gradually disappeared from the old man's sight.
"I'll be back in a few minutes, don't worry!"
…
In the side room next to [Fu Ling Hall].
Grandma Hong was looking at the figure writing at the desk with a frown.
"You Ning, what are you writing?" Grandma Hong couldn't help but ask.
Ever since Qiao Youning came back from the [Buddha Mother Hall], she had been writing on a piece of white paper, pausing from time to time and laughing innocently.
"There are travel plans..." Qiao Youning was so busy that she didn't even raise her head, "Ajing and the others won't stay in Jizhou very long... I want to take him to eat some local specialties... and also check in some on the way. Attractions...Grandma, what do you think of the Little Red Temple under the Holy Mountain? The scenery there is great, right?”
"Do you really think of them as tourists?" Grandma Hong sighed.
"This is my hometown..." Qiao Youning continued to plan her travel plans for the next few days on paper, "I like Jijudu very much... I also want A Jing to like..."
"I heard that he almost had a falling out with Mr. Ega today?" Grandma Hong sat cross-legged on the bed, looking through the half-open window at the inner city of Jiridu City in the distance, where it was like a prosperous scene with the lights on. "That old man The madman almost beat up the Ninth Elder?"
"Um!"
"Well, shit, I see you are happy..." Grandma Hong was helpless and said to herself that she didn't know what you, this girl, was thinking. She kept saying that the temple was her home, but she didn't hesitate at all when turning her elbows outward.
At the same time, Qiao Youning finished writing the last line.
She picked up the densely written white paper and placed it in front of the candlelight, admiring the perfect strategy she had made for the Extreme Day City.
"Actually, I never thought he would talk to the elders like this... The terms of the negotiation were actually for me... It's like a dream..."
"Isn't it good that he has you in his heart?" Grandma Hong asked.
"Of course that's fine, but just..."
Qiao Youning stared blankly at the beautiful handwriting on the white paper, feeling that everything that happened in reality was as unreal as the flickering candlelight behind the white paper.
"I never dared to expect him to think about me in his heart... As long as he doesn't hate me..."
"Is it because of him that you are working so hard to improve the sequence?" Grandma Hong asked in a bad tone.
"I can't fall too far behind him, otherwise I won't be able to help. After all, there are so many people who want to kill him..." Qiao Youning looked serious.
"You have done so much for him, what has he done for you?" Grandma Hong sneered, "I just suddenly thought of you today. When you were suffering and suffering in the temple, he didn't..."
"I didn't say anything to him because I didn't need him to do anything for me, and I didn't need him to repay me with a repayment mentality."
Qiao Youning put down the white paper, walked to Grandma Hong, and gently took the old lady's arm.
"Grandma, all this is just wishful thinking on my part, don't blame him!"
