7. Emperor Bell
Su Wu opened his eyes and saw the three pure gods sitting majestically in the dark hall, as well as the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on both sides who looked a little shy.
Candlelight flickered on both sides of the hall, and the lights were bright.
While here, he felt an inexplicable chill lingering around him.
He lowered his head and looked around. The light was dim at the moment, as if he were in the main hall at night. All the furnishings were the same as before, but there was no sign of the Taoist priests from Yunlong Temple.
Don’t know what time it is now?
Su Wu touched his pocket and found the cell phone and a palm-sized notepad in his pocket.
Since experiencing the simulator, he has strengthened his habit of taking notes and is determined to continue this good habit, and the notepad will never leave his side.
It seems now that my future self still retains this habit.
Su Wu felt slightly relieved.
Through the notepad, he can understand what he has experienced in the past period of time and what has happened in the outside world.
Just when he was about to open his notepad and read through it, crimson light suddenly shone in from outside the three open doors of the main hall, enveloping the clay statues in the hall and Su Wu kneeling on the futon.
what?
Are the lanterns outside the temple lit?
Su Wu raised his head and suddenly saw that under the crimson light, the paint on the face of the clay statue 'melted'...
Drops of colorful viscous liquid slipped from the face of the clay statue.
Each clay statue has a single, pitch-black eye on its peeled-off face.
The eye seemed to be moving, slowly focusing on Su Wu.
Su Wu shuddered and didn't care to look through the notebook. He grabbed the notebook and turned around to run away——
The moment he stood up, layers of darkness as thick as mud spread from the feet of the clay statue, covering up the crimson light and flooding Su Wu himself!
He suddenly froze in place.
Half-turning around, he saw blood-red 'lanterns' rising in the dark sky outside the gate of Taoist Temple. The lanterns were like a river of stars, covering the short mountain where Yunlong Temple was located.
Covering the dimly lit Mingzhou City in the distance.
It's not safe outside the door!
Su Wu's last thought flashed through his mind.
Thick darkness flooded the entire hall, and the sound of chewing bones resounded in the darkness.
…
"you are dead."
"This simulation is over."
"Rating: None.
Comment: If you don’t seek death, you won’t die.
Reward: None. "
"The following items can be brought out of the simulation game this time. You can consume a certain amount of Yuan Yu to choose to bring out certain items."
Option 0: Lottery tube.
Option 2: Unsign the book.
Option 3: Incense candles and paper money.
Option 4: Merit Box.
…
"Skip it."
Su Wu exited the simulator, with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
He originally thought that if he started the simulation in another place, he would have a different, perhaps better, starting point for the future.
But I didn’t expect that the future simulated in Yunlong Temple would be even more terrifying!
In the simulation scene at that time, the clay statue in the temple gave him a feeling that was dozens of times more sinister than the shadow.
If he really chooses to stay in Yunlong until something strange happens in the world, he may die without even knowing how.
And outside Yunlong Temple, the 'red lanterns' that wander in the sky and seem to cover the entire Mingzhou City are not good either.
I wonder who is scarier, the ‘Red Lantern’ or the statue in Yunlong Temple?
In the simulated future, I have to find a way to survive in Ping'an Garden, so I don't want to risk my life and experiment everywhere.
Drink tea to calm down.
A day spent in the simulator only lasts two or three minutes in reality.
It wasn't until Su Wu finished the cup of tea that the young Taoist priest came belatedly holding a long brocade box.
He handed the brocade box to Su Wu: "Here you go!
Just leave it there for a while and then take it back when you feel better. "
"Okay, okay!" Su Wu hurriedly took the half-old brocade box and opened it, revealing a copper bell lying on red silk inside.
The copper bell is covered with green rust, obviously it has some age.
This copper bell is the imperial bell, a magical artifact that Su Wu and the young Taoist priest had been arguing with each other before asking for it.
The Imperial Bell is an important magical instrument in Taoism, also known as the Sanqing Bell. Generally, Taoist priests need to use this magical instrument to exorcise evil spirits and subjugate demons, and to worship gods and invite saints.
Of course, we don’t care about this now. The young Taoist priest brought this over because Su Wu wanted to buy a magic weapon that could calm the mind at Yunlong Temple.
Whether it is useful or not depends on Su Wu taking it to the simulator to verify.
"This is something from my master's box. It hasn't been taken out for a long time. Please use it carefully and send it back to me in a while." The young Taoist priest warned, but he didn't seem to care.
Although he didn't care, he was a great help to Su Wu.
Su Wu couldn't ignore it.
Thinking of what he had experienced in the simulator, Su Wu reminded him with the intention of repaying his favor: "Taoist Master, I think your Taoist temple is too biased and a bit spooky.
You two masters and apprentices live here, so you should pay more attention to it. "
The young Taoist priest looked at Su Wu amusedly: "Then do you want to tell me about Feng Shui?"
"I can't tell you this." Su Wu shook his head, took out his mobile phone, showed the QR code for joining the fishing group, and said with a smile, "In a few days, let's go fishing together at night, and the Taoist leader will join the group. Bar."
"Fishing at night? Okay!" The young Taoist priest's eyes lit up, he immediately scanned the QR code and said as soon as he entered the group, "Hey, my master is also in your group!"
Su Wu was a little surprised: "Really? Then we are quite destined.
Let's go night fishing together in a few days."
"Sure, sure." The young Taoist priest responded repeatedly.
Su Wu said goodbye to the Taoist priest and took a taxi back to Ping'an Garden.
Today, Monday, he was supposed to go to work, but he skipped work directly, dragged all the company supervisors and colleagues into the blacklist, and simply quit the work group.
Anyway, last month's salary has been settled, and it doesn't matter if there are seven or eight days of salary.
Compared to working in the company, he has more important things to do during this period.
Sitting at the desk, Su Wu turned on the simulator.
The moment the dial appeared, an electronic sound also sounded in the dark: "Welcome to the perfect life simulator!"
"Your wallet Yuanyu balance is 6, and the personal life simulation consumes 1 Yuanyu. Do you want to consume it?"
"Yes."
"Do you want to consume Yuanyu and bring real items into the simulation game? ”
Items appeared around the dial one by one.
Option 0: Your body (because your personal talent has improved, if you choose to experience the simulation game in person, it will consume 12 yuanyu).
Option 1: Mysterious copper-clad skeleton.
Option 2: The ancient Emperor Bell.
Option 3: Orpha infrared night vision goggles.
…
"Take option 1 and option 2 into the game." Su Wu directly selected two items, and his eyes did not stay on other things at all.
His Dark Walker (green) talent can already allow him to see in the dark, and the effect is almost the same as wearing infrared night vision goggles.
In this way, wearing night vision goggles into the game is a waste of yuanyu.
As for other items, such as voice-controlled light remote control and main switch box key, there will be some in your room in the future, so you don't have to bring them deliberately.
Last time, Su Wu did not find any trace of Gangdong in the room. To be safe, this time he also chose to bring this magic weapon and the "Emperor Bell" with the same properties as this object.
"The choice is successful. "
Two screens appeared in front of Su Wu.
In the first screen, he sat at the desk, frowning and staring at the empty palm. It was the future he had simulated several times before.
The second screen was completely black, representing the past of the owner of the relic Gangdong, which required 500 yuan of jade to open.
Su Wu focused his eyes on the first screen.
In a trance, his consciousness was sucked into the screen.
