I will bury the gods

Chapter 266 Ghost Buddha
As night fell, Lin Shouxi and the others packed their bags and set off towards the boundless mountains that stretched for thousands of miles.

The sound of autumn is bleak.

When walking into the mountain road, Lin Shouxi met an old woodcutter. The woodcutter pushed up some straw hats, saw Lin Shouxi's face, and was shocked. He dropped the large bundle of firewood on his back and was about to run. Lin Shouxi picked up the firewood, I caught up with him and asked why.

I saw the old woodcutter knelt on the ground, put his head in his hands, and shouted: "I have an old man and a young man, the weather is too cold recently, I want to stock up more firewood, so I forgot the time when I went to the mountain to chop firewood today. Daxian forgives..."

"We are not monsters." Lin Shouxi said.

After he explained seriously for a while, the old woodcutter got up suspiciously and asked, "You... aren't you Huang Daxian?"

"Huang Daxian, who is it?" Lin Shouxi asked.

"Since you are not Huang Daxian, why do you still go into this mountain?" The old woodcutter was even more confused when he saw his blank face.

Lin Shouxi pondered for a while, and made up a reason, saying that he was from a family of medicine, and the herbs that could save his life were only found in this mountain, so he came here to look for them.

"Picking herbs? You are dying!" The old woodcutter was surprised and terrified when he heard this.

"Fate? Is Huang Daxian a monster that eats people?" Lin Shouxi asked.

Only then did the old woodcutter explain to the stranger, he said that this mountain was originally called Tianlong Mountain, but it also had another name, Wanku Mountain. The monster has been taken over by it. This monster is extremely terrifying. It can call wind and rain, and it can also set off hurricanes and sandstorms. Many monsters in this forest are its minions, especially a yellow fairy. There are countless people killed by it. If you still dare to collect firewood in the forest after the mountain falls, you will probably be killed by this Huang Daxian.

"This Huang Daxian usually likes to dress himself up as a handsome young master. When I saw the young master, I thought I ran into a big monster." The old woodcutter said.

It turned out that there were mountain goblins making trouble... Lin Shouxi knew it well.

He escorted the old man to leave Wanku Mountain. When he left, the old man gave him thousands of warnings, advising him not to go into the mountain. That Huang Daxian eats people, but there are no bones left.

"The herbal medicine I'm looking for only blooms and glows at night, and it's no different from weeds during the day. It's a life-saving medicine, and I have to find it no matter what." Lin Shouxi said.

After hearing this, the old man stopped persuading him, and hurriedly left the place of right and wrong with a large bundle of firewood on his back.

After the old man left, Xing Yu put his hands on his hips, looked at the black and vast mountains, couldn't help but sneered, and said: "Huang Daxian? You don't seem to be a powerful fairy by the name, my dragon clan is the leader of a hundred scales, and in the demon world, it is even more powerful than Taishan Beidou." Ordinary existence, bumping into me this time, can be regarded as a thief who ran into a big black dog when he ran into the hospital, let's go, let's meet this king of ten thousand skeletons!"

Lin Shouxi and Gong Yu looked at each other, not sure whether the silly dragon girl was praising or scolding herself, so she just followed her footsteps and walked boldly into the mountain.

Then, Xing Yu was disappointed.

They climbed mountains and ridges, walked for more than half an hour, Xing Yu even opened his throat, and shouted in the forest for a long time, but the mountains and forests were quiet, not to mention monsters, they didn't even meet some ordinary beasts.

However, because few people came to this mountain, many precious herbs really grew there. When Lin Shouxi saw them, he picked them and put them in the package.

Seeing this, Gong Yu smiled lightly: "Do you really regard yourself as a family of medicine?"

"I have a cauldron of alchemy in my body, so I can barely be considered a doctor?" Lin Shouxi asked back.

"What kind of doctor is a stove that can only heal itself but not others?" Gong Yu said.

"It can also heal people."

"How?"

"Well... If Master is interested, you can ask Chu Chu. If you have to, I can let Master have a try." Lin Shouxi's eyes were meaningful.

Gong Yu frowned, vaguely guessing something, sneered at the frivolity, and said: "Your cauldron has been repaired for so long, and you got a wife early, but now, you haven't even refined the purple fire, and you are also a medical doctor. I?"

"you……"

Lin Shouxi was indeed hit by a sore spot. Since he built the cauldron, he has always been accompanied by peerless beauties, but the fire of the cauldron did not rise. It is a shame. He did not want to argue with his master, but replied: "It doesn't matter, it is enough in this world. Just use it."

Gong Yu wanted to say a few more words, but was interrupted by Xing Yu raising his hand. The little Qinglong couldn't help but said, "What are you yelling about? You are obviously a master and a student, but you are fighting with each other like an enemy every day. What is the plan? what?"

"Miss Xing is right." Lin Shouxi nodded in agreement, gave Gong Yu another look, and said, "Look, other girls are more sensible than you."

"Teaching me again?" Gong Yu did not back down, she said: "Aren't you and your real master Chu Yingchan also fighting with each other day and night?"

"I'm in harmony with Chuchu's master and apprentice. When will..." Lin Shouxi was taken aback for a moment, realizing something, and didn't continue.

Gong Yu saw that his ears were reddish, and was amused by his shy and embarrassing appearance. She couldn't help laughing, trembling, she still didn't let Lin Shouxi go, and continued to ask: "Why didn't you say it? Lips, guns, tongues? Is something missing?"

Lin Shouxi glared at her, recalling the past, his cheeks felt a little hot.

He originally thought that he would be able to deal with the changes calmly, but after spending these few days with his master, he realized that Jiang was still old and spicy.

He didn't understand why Shizu always teased him like this. If he asked her, she would give a lot of answers, or the attitude of playing with the world, or she would say it was helping Xiaohe test your loyalty, or she might say it was just Seeing that your apprentice is so beautiful, if you want to tease him, don't say you are a teacher, it is clearly your apprentice's fault for being beautiful.

But these answers are somewhat far-fetched.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing him lost in thought, Gong Yu approached him with a smile, and asked with a smile: "Could you remember the time when you were with Chuchu again? Xiaohe also told me some things, tsk tsk, this girl Chuchu has become like this, Maybe it’s because I’m not enough grains of salt for being a master.”

"No." Lin Shouxi thought that her obedience in the afternoon was really a way to delay the attack, so he couldn't help but shook his head, "Master Zu, if you continue like this..."

"Ok?"

"never mind."

Lin Shouxi found that the punishment he thought was a reward for the master, and he couldn't think of any threatening words, so he simply ignored her, just carried her on his back, buried his head on the road, and let her say nothing. .

Xing Yu frowned, she couldn't understand the complex communication of human beings, and she didn't bother to delve into it, and she focused on finding the big monster hidden in the mountains.

The night is getting darker.

The forest was quiet, and the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves became the only noise. Looking up through the slanting branches, one could see the pale moon, full of moon in the sky, extremely bright, so bright that people could not see the pits and hollows on the moon clearly.

Xingyu searched for a long time, but only caught one weasel. She asked the unlucky weasel where their boss was. When he went back, the frightened weasel ran up the big tree like a squirrel, and disappeared without a trace.

When Xingyu was bored, Lin Shouxi suddenly pressed her shoulder.

"Ah..." Xing Yu thought it was a sneak attack, and exclaimed, seeing that it was Lin Shouxi, he couldn't help asking: "Why are you touching me all of a sudden? It's a surprise..."

"Did you hear anything?" Lin Shouxi lowered his voice and asked.

"Sound?" Xing Yu was also taken aback.

She listened intently, only to hear the howling of wolves in the distance and the wind like howling thousands of people, but there was no other sound.

"Can't you hear it? The sound of gongs and drums..." Lin Shouxi asked.

"Beating gongs and drums?" Xing Yu was stunned, and said, "How can there be people in this deep mountain and wild forest? Lin Shouxi, don't scare the dragon."

Lin Shouxi didn't speak, he was reciting the palace language, and walked forward quickly, following the direction of the voice, Xing Yu frowned and followed behind, but his heart couldn't help beating.

For some reason, she, who has always been lawless, has a trace of fear.

This inexplicable fear made her feel ashamed, she quickly calmed down and followed.

Going around the long mountain road, there is a valley below. Standing on the rock and looking at the valley bottom, there is a faint light. The source of the light is a dilapidated village.

Lin Shouxi didn't lie, there were not only people in this deep mountain and old forest, but also villages!
The sound of gongs and drums, the sound of clappers, the sound of erhu... It seems that someone is holding a funeral in the village. When the various sounds reach the ears, they are indistinct, but the mixed and babbling singing can still be heard inside.

Xing Yu's eyes narrowed, and his body shrank involuntarily.

The valley is not very wide, and it is surrounded by high mountains on all sides. If there is a slight flash flood or earthquake, the village will be easily destroyed, let alone the creepy Huang Daxian and Wanku live here. King.

Lin Shouxi was about to go down the mountain road to find out, but Xingyu grabbed his hand.

"Wait, wait, how about we wait and see?" Xing Yu asked cautiously.

"Are you scared?" Lin Shouxi asked in surprise.

Xingyu prides herself on being invincible, but when she was young, her sister told her a few ghost stories when she was taking her to the gate of hell, which frightened her out of the shadow of her childhood. At this moment, the scene of sporadic lights in a barren mountain and isolated village awakened her Xingyu's hands and feet trembled uncontrollably.

"Afraid? How can I, the mighty Dragon King, be afraid!" Xing Yu yelled a few words to strengthen his courage.

"It's okay to be afraid, you can wait for me here, I'll check the situation first," Lin Shouxi said.

"It's okay, the deity will help you as the queen." Xing Yu leaned towards Gongyu.

"I'll go with you." Gong Yu looked at Lin Shouxi and said.

"You don't have cultivation base, so you won't be able to help if you go there," Lin Shouxi said.

"The cultivation level is gone, but at least the knowledge is still there. Don't worry, I have a measure." Gong Yu said, "Why? Because you have rich experience in voyeurism, you don't need to help the teacher?"

At this moment, there was no enchanting and charming expression on the cheeks of this Taoist fairy, even if she was teasing, she still spoke coldly and seriously, like a well-trained killer.

Lin Shouxi nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Gong Yu was about to be snatched away, Xing Yu hurriedly followed, and said in a low voice: "I think about it carefully, and I still think it's better to go with you..."

All the way down the hillside, through the semi-dry stream to reach the village.

Looking closer, the village is far more dilapidated than imagined. The walls here are made of earthen walls, which have been disintegrated by green grass. If you push them with your hands, they will collapse. The houses here are also dilapidated. There is no roof, and the pillars supporting the house are either dilapidated or crooked, and the furniture placed inside is covered with cobwebs. The spiders here are black and big, and they seem to be eaten by humans.

Where is this village? It is clearly a site that has been abandoned for many years. Even if it once prospered, it is unknown how many years ago it was.

It is impossible to imagine how people can live in such a place...

Xing Yu cat leaned on her body and walked slowly through the weed-covered road. Suddenly, she saw a dark object. Because it was a person lying down, she was startled. When she took a closer look, it turned out to be a head. The stone lion, she poked her head out and went around, but felt even more creepy. This stone lion seemed to have been tortured. The curly hair was shaved off, the eyes were hollow, and the face was rotten. Only the mouth was intact, revealing a strange laugh.

What frightened her even more was that behind the stone lion, there was something staring at her.

She plucked up her courage and went closer to have a look. A fox sprang out from behind the stone lion, and darted into the bushes beside it.

Xing Yu had no time to quarrel with these small animals that frightened her, and the clear and bright cymbals suddenly sounded, making her spine stiff.

He raised his head, and behind the high courtyard wall in front of him, there was obviously a fire.

Lin Shouxi and Gong Yu had already walked over.

The courtyard wall is very high, but it has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is covered with cracks. Through the cracks, you can see the scene behind the courtyard wall.

Lin Shouxi stood behind a crack, his eyes pressed against the wall, concentrating on it, while Gong Yu was beside him, leaning down and looking closer to the lower crack.

When the two looked towards the yard, they stiffened unconsciously as if they saw something terrifying.

Seeing this, Xingyu was even more frightened. She said in her heart, "Guanshiyin Bodhisattva blesses the infinite heavens and honored sons without confusing words and powers." Then she found a crack, boldly approached it, and looked over.

She too was shocked.

people.

A dense crowd of people.

The courtyard, which does not look spacious, is full of people. These people are all dressed in official clothes, holding candles in their hands, sitting shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip, sitting upright, meticulous, with straight eyes. Gougou stared at the front, so focused that he wanted to pull his eyeballs out.

In front is a stage.

This stage is very large, occupying half of the yard. This stage is very spacious and bright. It is a newly built three-sided viewing stage. The sounds of gongs, drums, copper cymbals, erhu, and suona come from here. ... Singing.

The spectators in the audience looked at the big stage attentively, crying sometimes, laughing sometimes, in uniform.

And the weirdest thing was that there was no one on the stage at all.

What the hell are they looking at? !

Xingyu just felt creepy.

When she was young, the ghost stories told by sister Hongyi squeezed into her mind like ghosts, like knives cutting swords, making her teeth tremble. She is the daughter of a powerful dragon king, but no matter how powerful a life is, when facing the unknown , There will always be instinctive fear.

There are things on the stage, dirty things, these people can see them, but I can't see them!
The sound of playing music came from the grass troupe around the stage. They continued to ring, and they were loud and clear in the silent night. The rain's claws couldn't help but dug into the earth wall. She turned her head, looked at Lin Shouxi, and tugged on his sleeve , asked in a very soft voice: "Can you see it?"

Lin Shouxi shook his head.

"What about you?" She looked at Gong Yu again.

Gong Yu also shook his head.

"Then what are they looking at, are they crazy?"

Xing Yu wished he could manifest his real body directly, and crashed into it, smashing this strange scene to pieces.

Lin Shouxi looked at Gong Yu with a questioning look.

Gong Yu unwrapped the package, took out a candle, and signaled him to light it.

Everyone in the yard was holding a red candle, maybe it was the key.

Concentrating his true energy, Lin Shouxi touched the candle wick, and the candle wick was quickly burnt. He held the candle and looked at the stage again, but he still saw nothing.

This is simply an empty stage, and the people sitting below are either lunatics or not human at all!

Just when Lin Shouxi was about to climb over the courtyard wall to find out, the half-squatting Gong Yu grabbed his wrist.

"Meditate, try to meditate." Gong Yu said.

Lin Shouxi showed a puzzled look.

"What are you meditating on?" Xing Yu asked directly.

"There may indeed be something on this stage, but there is no way to see it with the naked eye." Gong Yu thought for a while, and suddenly asked a seemingly insignificant question: "You should know the myths, such as Chang'e Flying to the Moon, Dayi Shoot these at the sun."

The two nodded.

"These myths have no real source, but everyone in the world knows it, because it is a kind of work, a work created subconsciously by people all over the world. This kind of organized collective imagination is powerful. If this power is strong enough, Mythology may even become a direct history." Gong Yu explained seriously, she paused, looked at Lin Shouxi, and said: "You know the Twilight Sea, it is a sea of ​​spirits, it is the collective meditation of ancient gods. The field is the pinnacle of the collective imagination."

Lin Shouxi was at a loss at first, then, he thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he realized: "You mean, there is indeed no one on this stage, but the spectators below imagined a scene together?"

Gong Yu nodded.

Xing Yu was stunned when he heard that, "This...how is this possible..."

When she was a child, she did hear a story told by her sister about a little girl who sold candles. She couldn’t sell a single candle. She lit candles to keep warm when she was about to freeze to death. When the last candle went out, she passed through The curling white smoke saw the god smiling at her. That night, all the people who froze to death saw the same scene.

Xing Yu didn't take it seriously at the time, but when he thought about it now, he felt a little bit of terror.

Lin Shouxi had already obeyed his master's instructions, held a candle, stared at the stage meticulously, and his consciousness penetrated into the sound of gongs and drums, humming and trembling non-stop.

Lin Shouxi felt like he was walking in a dark corridor. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the light. He rushed out as if he was jumping out of the water. With a bang, the picture of the courtyard was clear again.

On the stage, there were a few more ghost figures.

It was a play, the long-sleeved and dancing girl was wiping her tears, and the handsome white-faced boy was pitying himself. They held hands, came to the temple, bowed to the big Buddha, and prayed for marriage, but this is not a Buddha, it is clear It is a pink meat mountain full of wrinkles and granulation, which is almost indistinguishable from the 'thousand-armed-thousand-eyed' Buddha seen in Niechi.

When staring at the Buddha, Lin Shouxi also felt the gaze.

The gaze from the back of the head.

Behind this drama condensed by collective consciousness, something is staring at the back of his neck!

Lin Shouxi's heart trembled, and he was about to cut off his consciousness, but before he could make a move, a woman's coquettish voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and his fragile imagination was invaded by noise, and he collapsed as quickly as he woke up from a dream.

The voice is from Gongyu.

When Lin Shouxi was holding the candle, he had already lost his mind, a few drops of wax oil dripped, Gong Yu couldn't dodge it, and a few drops of red wax dripped on his snow-white shoulders and wrists, as bright as plum blossoms.

This soft whistling disturbed the whole dream.

The people in the yard also woke up.

They all turned around and looked at the uninvited guest behind the courtyard wall.

It was only then that Xing Yu discovered that these people had no eyes at all, their eyeballs had already been cut off, leaving only a hollow with withered flesh and blood.

Not only that, but they are not all human.

Among them was a monster with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks wrapped in a robe. It was a yellow skin, its eyes were gone, and it was full of maggots of various colors, but it seemed to be able to see who was coming, and opened its sharp mouth. He said in a sharp, opera-like tone: "Dare to harass the Golden Buddha, the crime is unforgivable, take your life—"

　I wish the senior three students all the best in their exams~
