Chapter 1344: Silent Village
It got dark very quickly.
It was time for dinner.
Lin Chen came to the table and saw that the meal was a little richer tonight.
There was an extra dish of fried carrots and meat.
Lin Chen glanced at the old monk. It seemed that he still cared about Lin Xiaohuo.
He probably planned to train Lin Xiaohuo to be the successor of this temple.
Tonight, Lin Xiaohuo ate two large bowls of rice before he was full.
"By the way."
After dinner, Lin Xiaohuo took Lin Chen to the hall.
"To thank Brother Lin for giving me candy."
"I want to pray for Brother Lin."
He lit a stick of incense, then handed it to Lin Chen and said, "Brother Lin, put it in quickly."
Lin Chen put the incense in.
It went out.
"Strange."
Lin Xiaohuo took the incense down, lit it again, and then handed it to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen put it in again.
It went out again.
Lin Chen thought: "What if the Buddha doesn't dare to accept my incense?"
"Waiting online."
"Very urgent."
Lin Xiaohuo took the incense down, looked at it, and scratched his head.
"It's really strange."
He couldn't figure it out.
"Forget it."
He lit the incense and inserted it himself.
He then took out a bamboo tube with many bamboo sticks in it.
"Buddha bless you."
"Bodhisattva bless you."
"Please give Brother Lin a good fortune and bless Brother Lin."
He began to shake the bamboo tube, trying to make a bamboo stick fall down.
Half a minute later.
Clatter.
A large piece of bamboo sticks fell down.
More than one!
"Ah?"
Lin Xiaohuo was stunned.
This was the first time he had seen this situation.
"Did I do something wrong?"
He tried again.
As a result, half a minute later.
Clatter.
Another piece of bamboo sticks fell down.
This was because the Buddha didn't want him to count.
He deliberately made a large piece to stop him from counting.
Lin Chen said beside him: "I have received your kindness, don't count it."
You can't count it.
Lin Xiaohuo scratched his head awkwardly and stood up.
"I'm sorry."
"My cultivation is too shallow."
Lin Chen said lightly: "It's not your problem."
Don't talk about Lin Xiaohuo.
Even if his grandfather came, the result would be the same today.
"When I become stronger in the future, I will pray for Brother Lin again."
Lin Xiaohuo grinned.
Lin Chen said: "It's up to you."
"It's late, it's time to take a bath and go to bed."
Lin Chen returned to the room.
Very soon.
It was late at night.
It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Click.
The door of a room slowly opened.
Lin Xiaohuo poked his head out and looked around, but didn't see the old monk.
Then he moved out of the room quietly and walked into the hall of the temple.
Bang.
He bent his legs and knelt on the mat.
Then, he picked up the bamboo tube and bamboo sticks.
"Buddha is above."
"Bodhisattva is above."
"If I can go out, please give me a good sign."
He began to shake the bamboo tube.
Half a minute later.
Crash.
A bamboo stick fell down.
Lin Xiaohuo hurriedly picked it up and saw: a bad sign.
He was stunned for a moment.
Does this mean that the Bodhisattva is unwilling to let him go out?
"Bodhisattva, please."
Lin Xiaohuo said sincerely: "I want to find my parents in Xinghua Village."
"Give me a good sign."
He closed his eyes and shook the bamboo tube again.
Crash.
Another bamboo stick fell down.
Lin Xiaohuo looked down and saw another bad sign.
"How could this be?"
He did not pick up the bamboo stick and continued to shake it.
Snap.
A bad sign.
A bad sign.
Still a bad sign.
After twenty times in a row.
"Bodhisattva, please, give me a good fortune."
"I just want a good fortune."
Swish.
Another bamboo stick fell down.
This time, Lin Xiaohuo picked it up and was stunned.
A bad fortune.
The bad fortune in the bamboo tube has been used up.
Now the bad fortunes began to fall.
"Why?"
"Still refuse to give me a good fortune?"
"I've asked for more than 20 times."
Lin Xiaohuo picked up all the bamboo sticks and put them back into the bamboo tube.
He took a deep breath and looked up at the Buddha and the Bodhisattva.
"Buddha."
"Bodhisattva."
"For the last time."
"If you really don't want me to go out, please give me a good fortune."
After saying that.
Swish.
He shook the bamboo tube and a bamboo stick fell down immediately.
Lin Xiaohuo picked it up and looked at it with trembling hands.
A good fortune!
Buddha and Bodhisattva really don't want him to go out to Xinghua Village!
Lin Xiaohuo lowered his head and looked at the bamboo sticks and was silent.
After a long while.
He suddenly raised his head and stared at the statues of Buddha and Bodhisattva.
"I want to go."
Lin Xiaohuo stood up, walked to the statue, stretched out his hand to pull out two command flags, picked up another fire order, turned around and ran to open the door.
He inserted the two command flags into his collar at the back, then took the fire order and carefully pushed the door open.
The moon was high in the sky, and the stars were sparse.
He closed the door carefully.
Da Da Da.
Lin Xiaohuo quickly ran out of the temple and ran towards Xinghua Village.
Huh——
At this time, large dark clouds suddenly came from the sky and slowly blocked the bright moon.
The sky gradually darkened.
When he is gone.
Lin Chen stood on the tiles of the temple and calmly watched Lin Xiaohuo's back slowly disappear into the distance.
"Children these days are so brave."
brush.
Lin Chen's figure disappeared.
when it appears again.
He has arrived in front of Xinghua Village.
"It will probably be daybreak by the time he gets there."
The galaxy turns upside down!
Lin Xiaohuo didn't know how far ten kilometers was, so he kept running forward.
I ran for half an hour.
He was sweating profusely and could hardly stand on his feet.
suddenly.
He felt dizzy.
When you can see things clearly again.
Bang.
His foot tripped on a piece of wood and he fell to the ground awkwardly.
"Oh!"
He lay on the ground for a while before slowly getting up.
"It hurts so much."
He raised his head and looked around.
Lin Xiaohuo was surprised to find that he had arrived in a village.
"This must be Xinghua Village!"
He stood up happily, but the next second he felt something was wrong.
The entrance to Xinghua Village was sealed with wire.
It seems that outsiders are prohibited from entering.
Then in front of the door, there are several dishes with some fruits in them.
There is incense on the ground in front of the fruit.
It seems that someone has offered incense at the entrance of the village.
Lin Xiaohuo looked back at the village.
It's so dark.
Only a faint starlight falls here.
There was not a soul to be seen on the road.
The surrounding houses also had no lights at all.
The whole village was silent.
Huhuhu——
Only the bone-chilling wind was blowing.
Lin Xiaohuo's body trembled three times, feeling that something was not right here.
"You're not in the wrong place, are you?"
He looked to the side and saw a tin sign.
There are three big characters written on it.
Xinghua Village.
"You're not wrong."
He shrunk his neck and walked forward cautiously.
"Is anyone there?"
Lin Xiaohuo shouted.
Whoops!
Only the evening breeze responded to him.
Lin Xiaohuo took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to move forward.
The further inside I went, the more I felt something wasn't right.
The weeds on both sides of the road were too tall.
Higher than the knees.
I don’t know how long it’s been since I took care of it.
It's almost like a deserted village.
After walking a few dozen meters, Lin Xiaohuo suddenly saw lights dancing in a two-story building.
"Eh!"
Lin Xiaohuo said in surprise: "There is someone!"
He hurriedly quickened his pace and walked towards the lighted house.
