Chapter 4 There are many strange things in the ancient village

Although I was sure that this place or these villagers were a bit weird, I still said calmly and politely: "This monk is my friend. What happened and why did you drive him away?"

Before the young village chief could speak, the villagers yelled and cursed fiercely, saying that Companion was a lunatic and did not know good and evil. More people in the village ran out, including men, women, and children.

It seems that the doll village leader is a puppet emperor who cannot control the villagers at all, and the situation is about to get out of control. If I were alone, I would not be afraid of using force with these villagers. I would beat them all down and they would talk properly, but Compass

, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei are nothing

I was afraid that they would be injured in the chaos. Moreover, this place had a strange aura. Maybe there was something evil controlling the villagers. It was not advisable to take action before I understood the whole story, so I pulled them away by force.

The compass retreats and walks the way back and forth.

When the villagers saw us leaving, they didn't pursue us anymore. They all stood at the entrance of the village and stared at us. I looked back and saw that the faces of the men, women, old and young were all different, but there was something similar in their expressions, which was a kind of indifference.

The feeling of a walking dead. It may not be easy for ordinary people to see this feeling. I have a strong sense of perception and have studied physiognomy for three years. My perspective and level of detail in seeing people are unique, so I can capture this feeling.

Not only that, the village behind them also had a decaying and desolate atmosphere, almost like a dark world in another world... I was startled, rubbed my eyes and looked back, only to see under the blue sky and white clouds.

The ancient villages, the quietly flowing rivers, and the plainly dressed villagers, everything is so harmonious and natural.

Is this a ghost in broad daylight, or am I in a trance? I recited a spell silently, opened my eyes in the sky, and looked back. Everything was normal. The villagers had begun to disperse and walk back. Only the doll village chief was still standing there.

Looking a little confused.

The feeling just now was like a wisp of white cloud drifting across the clear sky, leaving a shadow on the ground. It was not what I actually saw, so it might be my illusion.

Compass also turned back three times with one step, and his arm was grabbed by me and he couldn't break free. He said a little helplessly: "Donor Zhang, the young monk really can't leave. There is something wrong with this village."

Ling Fengpiao rushed to ask: "You just said that they are all dead, is it true?"

I was also about to ask this question, so I stared at Yuan Di, who grinned awkwardly: "Amitabha, I have violated the precept of lying. In fact, I don't know whether they are alive or dead. I just see that they have expired."

, they should all be dead, but they are all still alive, so..."

I was even more surprised: "Are you saying that everyone in this village has expired and is still alive?"

Compass nodded, but quickly added: "That village chief Yilan is different. He has a long life and looks like he is still a baby."

Ouyang Zhenfei screamed: "He must be a master of evil ways. He uses evil methods to suck away everyone's longevity, rejuvenate himself, and live forever!"

Ling Fengpiao immediately said: "Yes, my former master said that there was such an evil method in ancient times. I didn't expect that the secret technique that had been lost for hundreds of years would reappear in the world, and it would definitely cause countless bloody storms!"

Compass was stunned by what the two said, but he actually believed it completely. I said angrily: "Don't believe their nonsense, master, you should start from the beginning, how did you get here, and how did you find out that there is a problem in this village?"

?”

Yuan Luo started from the beginning. He was not very eloquent and it took him several minutes to explain things clearly. It turned out that he returned to the temple with the master's relics three years ago and stayed in the temple to continue practicing until he left the mountain half a year ago.

, travel around, wherever you go.

About half a month ago, Yuan Gui got lost in the mountains. Fortunately, he had a calm mind and took things as they came. The wilderness was no different from the hustle and bustle of a busy city. After eating dry food, he picked wild fruits and drank spring water. He didn't hit Laozhaigou until the day before yesterday.

Outside the village, he noticed something strange about the village, so he went to the village to ask for help. The villagers gave him food and drink, but they refused to stay overnight.

Yuan Gui became more and more suspicious and stayed outside the village and refused to leave. Occasionally, he opened his eyes through magical induction and saw that all the villagers were people who had expired and had a sense of death in their bodies, so he went to the villagers to inquire about them.

Why is he still alive? He has lived in the mountains for a long time

In the ancient temple, he used to follow his master when he went out accidentally, so he didn't know much about human affairs. He angered the villagers by speaking out about his taboos and was kicked out. However, he refused to leave until the matter was clarified, and slipped into the village again, so what happened just now happened

A scene from the siege.

I asked: "Master, apart from the fact that the villagers have expired, is there anything else abnormal?"

Yuan Gui was a little embarrassed: "I'm not a master, I'm a young monk. Donor Zhang, you might as well call me Yuan Gui."

I smiled and said, "I haven't given anything to you, so you can't call me a donor. Why don't we be more direct and treat each other as brothers or friends?"

Yuan Gui also laughed: "Little monk... when there are no outsiders, I call you Brother Xuanming, but when there are outsiders, I can't lose my dignity as a monk."

Ling Fengpiao, Ouyang Zhenfei and I all nodded repeatedly and were in awe of him. We can call him whatever we want in private. In public, a monk must look like a monk. Don't say that as the times have progressed, you can wear toad glasses.

Hua Gezi rides a motorcycle and cannot tarnish the image of Buddhism through his personal behavior.

When the two sides told their ages, it turned out that Compass was the same age as me. He was picked up by his master. He didn't know the specific month and day of his birth. Anyway, he was called "Brother Xuanming".

It seems that I have gone through a lot of changes now!

After laughing for a while, the topic returned to the weird village and its villagers. Compass could only see that the villagers were still alive after their longevity, and they seemed to have the aura of the dead; I could only intuitively see that the villagers looked numb, and the village had a ** atmosphere.

None of us sensed any evil or evil energy nearby. It didn't look like monsters were causing trouble. So what was going on?

Neither Xiaoxue nor I knew what Yuangui thought of monsters, and I didn’t want to lose Yuangui as a friend, so Xiaoxue stayed quiet for the time being and did not communicate with me, fearing that Yuangui would sense it and cause unpleasantness.

We walked to the top of the cliff and looked down from a high place. The villagers were leading cattle and carrying burdens in and out. There were people farming in the fields and people washing clothes by the river. It looked very orderly. I took a closer look at the Feng Shui pattern of the village.

There is nothing special about the direction of the Grand Canyon and the nearby mountains and rivers. However, the water, soil and mountains here are completely different from the south I am familiar with, and I am not very proficient in Feng Shui, so I am not too sure.

I was a little surprised that Yuan Gui could tell that the villagers' yangshou had expired, so I asked him: "Yuan Gui, I would like to ask, what can your Buddhist eyes see?"

"The Heavenly Eye?" Yuan Gui scratched his scalp: "Some people say they have opened the Heavenly Eye when they see some lights and shadows while meditating. In fact, these are all illusions or the aura around them. People who have truly cultivated the Heavenly Eye can

When you see gods, Buddhas and ghosts, some of them can see things thousands of miles away, even in other worlds and other planets. Different people have slightly different eyes due to their different practices and karma."

I know that most of the magical powers in Buddhism are achieved through self-cultivation, which is different from Taoist and Yin-Yang schools, but I still have some questions: "Then what about the Wisdom Eye you mentioned, which is more advanced than the Heavenly Eye?"

Yuan Gong shook his head, not knowing how to express it. He thought for a while and then said: "I can't say which one is more advanced. I can only say that it is easier to cultivate the heavenly eye, and it is more difficult to cultivate the wisdom eye. This is the power of precepts, concentration, and wisdom. The wisdom eye

Observing the sky, the Dharma eye is equal, and the Buddha eye is compassionate. The later ones are more difficult to cultivate, but it’s just that the realms are different..."

I was not familiar with these magical powers of Buddhism, and I was not interested in listening to a long lecture at this time, so I interrupted him: "Then can you look at it from the other eyes now?"

Yuan Gong's face turned red, and he was a little embarrassed: "The Heavenly Eye and the Wisdom Eye are actually physical eyes, and they cannot be replaced. It's just that the power of determination is different, so... So I only have the Wisdom Eye sometimes, and I can't use it whenever I want.

, sometimes I suddenly realize it and see it.”

It turned out that like Ling Fengpiao, his performance was unstable. Xiaoxue couldn't help it at this time: "Master, he actually has a keen eye. It's amazing. Could it be that he is the reincarnation of Arhat?"

Yuan Gui immediately sensed the evil spirit and looked at me with some surprise. I had to say: "I adopted the spirit body of a fox fairy. She is kind and will not harm others."

Compass said "Oh" and didn't ask any more, but Ouyang Zhenfei said: "I guess there is a well in this village. Drinking the water in it can make you immortal, so they are still alive after their life span. Wow, what if

If we sneak in and take a sip, can we live forever?"

Ling Fengpiao immediately said: "It makes sense, but it may not be a well, it may be a certain kind of grass or soil. I have heard that there is a kind of fairy soil that can cure all diseases. If you eat it every day, you may live forever!"

I couldn’t laugh or cry. These two guys were just having wild and wild ideas all day long together, but they often had a certain truth to them. I couldn’t bear to kill their imagination, so I had to put up with all their whims and whims.

of torture.

Xiaoxue said in my mind: "Sir, what Xiaofei said makes sense. It's possible that this is a village of immortality, so it hasn't changed much for three hundred years. I don't know that your Big Dipper fortune-telling method can only be used in the Year of the Monkey and the Moon."

, the effect may not be good even if you use it. If you can find the method of immortality here, it will be great!"

I was also a little moved. The Big Dipper method is unstable and has a low success rate. Ideally, it can only extend my life span by twenty years, which is far from enough for me. Who doesn’t want to live a few more years? More

Besides, I have someone I love deeply who needs me to stay with him for a long time... But is there really a village of immortality? These people have lived for three hundred years? This idea is too ridiculous!

I asked Compass: "Have you ever found anything strange or special people in the village?"

Yuangui immediately said: "Yes! The village chief named Yilan is different from others. He has a long life, and I can't tell how old he is. When I looked at him with my wisdom eyes, he looked like a newborn baby. With my naked eyes, he looked like a newborn baby.

He seems to be in his twenties, but I have a gut feeling that he is over thirty years old. His attitude towards me is a little different from others, and, and... I can't tell you the specifics, but in short, he is different from others!"

I also feel that something is wrong with this village chief. As a village chief, he has no power or prestige at all. If he is not pretending or is under control, this matter must have something to do with him. We need to find a breakthrough from him!
