Day of Imprisonment
#156 - Dark Snake Hiding
"Seventh Brother, by helping him, you can conveniently ask him what he discussed with Manjushri Bodhisattva and why he left without saying goodbye. Don't tell me you're simply doing a good deed?" Behind the Hall of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Poison Scorpion was very puzzled.
Her principle has always been 'profit'. She would be friendly to those who could help her, and stay away from those who couldn't. If killing someone could benefit her, she would not hesitate and would be ruthless to even her closest relatives.
"Does helping others necessarily require a reward?" Seventh Brother asked back, her expression indifferent.
She was mostly like this, as if she saw through everything and didn't care about anything.
"Isn't that the case? You don't really think there are altruistic people in this world, do you? Ha, how naive, this doesn't seem like you, my Seventh Brother!" Poison Scorpion squinted, seemingly gentle, her tone with a hint of coquetry, but in reality, she was already harboring dissatisfaction.
"Of course, I will want a reward, but not now. By the way, including this one, we have already obtained six sign interpretations. Next, if we want to collect seven, we must open the hidden area. Relatively speaking, the Abandoned Well Buddha Hall is more suitable for us, but we need to exchange for the corresponding sign interpretation."
At this time, Seventh Brother took out her six sign interpretations and looked at them.
Several of them were actually supreme good fortune signs.
Obviously, she had good luck.
"There's no need to exchange for the sign interpretation to go to the Abandoned Well Buddha Hall. I have it here." Poison Scorpion smiled charmingly at this time, pinching out a sign interpretation with her fingers: "Let's go together, I'm scared alone."
"You're scared? Heh, am I hearing a joke? But Scorpion, you are indeed afraid, and you're a bit abnormal today. Your soul is a bit shaky, and its color is flickering. You're nervous, why are you nervous?" Seventh Brother suddenly asked at this time.
She was still the same cold and indifferent, all-knowing expression.
Poison Scorpion was stunned.
Then she covered her mouth and smiled: "I forgot, Seventh Brother, you are a soul窥者. Others' strengths and weaknesses, even emotional changes, can't escape your eyes. Speaking of which, your eyes are the most beautiful, like gems, and gems are precious and rare, many people want to possess them. Oh, right, didn't Seventh Brother say you love me very much? So, can you lend me your eyes?"
"What?" Seventh Brother was stunned, and the next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her arm, like being pricked by needles.
She immediately took a few steps back, her eyes filled with disbelief, and even more with surprise.
Opposite her, Poison Scorpion chuckled, her face actually revealing an 'apologetic' look.
"Does it hurt? Seventh Brother, you're actually quite good. I've also been very happy during these few loop days with you, but as the saying goes, people strive for higher positions, and water flows downwards. You love me so much, you definitely won't blame me, right?"
Seventh Brother's expression was painful, she felt that her arm had lost all sensation.
Scorpion venom was spreading rapidly.
Moreover, another Memory Retriever walked over with a sneer.
She glanced at him.
She knew that the other party's nickname was 'Mysticist', a very experienced Memory Retriever expert, said to have preserved memories for more than a hundred loop days.
A hundred-day loop, this is a standard for some real experts to measure their strength, or rather, a threshold.
Only by exceeding a hundred-day loop can they be truly regarded highly and possess the initial ticket to enter the 'expert circle'.
However, she didn't know much about this 'Mysticist' because, judging from the soul strength, the other party's strength exceeded her own. She never took the initiative to provoke people whose strength exceeded her own, avoiding them whenever possible.
Being able to see through the other party's strength is all about 'seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages'.
The current situation was obvious, Poison Scorpion had joined forces with the Mysticist to plot against her.
But the problem was, mutual attacks were not allowed in the Youzuo Temple. How did they do it?
"You attacked me? That's impossible." Seventh Brother's forehead was already covered in cold sweat. Pain and numbness indicated that the scorpion venom she was poisoned with was already very deep.
But if Poison Scorpion attacked her, she would immediately be punished by the gods and Buddhas for violating the rules of Youzuo Temple.
Looking at Poison Scorpion's appearance, she hadn't been punished at all, which meant that she hadn't violated that rule.
"I did attack you, but not in Youzuo Temple, but before entering Youzuo Temple. Oh, Seventh Brother, I forgot to tell you, I have an ability card called 【Paralysis Needle】. I stung you before and applied 【Paralysis Needle】 to you at the same time, so you're only feeling it now. How is it? My ability is very cool, right? Don't you like the cool feeling the most?"
Poison Scorpion was still very gentle, like a virtuous woman being honest with her beloved.
But what she said was vicious and cruel.
"What's going on?" Poison Scorpion and the Mysticist were in a daze for a while, and when they looked again, Seventh Brother was gone.
"Chase, she's poisoned, she can't run far." Poison Scorpion's expression was fierce. This time, she had meticulously planned the poisoning, in order to strip Seventh Brother of all her benefits. If she let the other party run away, not only would she gain nothing, but she would also suffer Seventh Brother's revenge.
You must know that Seventh Brother was not easy to mess with.
"She entered the Hall of Ksitigarbha." The Mysticist was also an expert. If she ran to other places here, it wouldn't be safe, and she wouldn't be able to escape anyway. Then, it was very likely that she took advantage of their daze just now and escaped into the hall nearby.
Wanting to play a trick of hiding in plain sight.
But this kind of trick is worthless in front of real experts.
Only when Poison Scorpion and the Mysticist entered the hall did they discover that there was no one here, only majestic Buddha statues, sculptures, and murals.
Apart from that, there were three huge bronze mirrors placed behind the Buddha statue, said to be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's magical artifacts for supervising hell.
"Could it be that she's really not here?"
"Hurry up and chase, she's poisoned, maybe she'll faint at any time, don't let others take advantage of her."
The two immediately rushed out of the hall.
There is no mobile phone signal in Youzuo Temple.
But you can still see the time. From entering to now, more than forty minutes have passed.
Luo Xi carried the sin of the big-headed monk on his back, occasionally meeting the other party's resentful gaze.
"Does it hurt?" Luo Xi asked, almost subconsciously.
It was just a casual question, but he didn't expect the sin-ridden big-headed monk to actually nod.
"Huh?"
This guy can understand what I'm saying?
This discovery surprised Luo Xi, and at the same time, his curiosity was immediately piqued.
The sin monster formed by the sign interpretation actually has intelligence, can even communicate, can nod and shake his head, maybe, he can even speak.
The newest novels are at 69书吧!
"It hurts, but there's nothing I can do. Who told you to lie on my back? If you didn't lie on my back, you wouldn't have been cut, and you wouldn't hurt. There is a cause, and then there is an effect." Luo Xi muttered. He had now reached the right side of the Buddha courtyard, which was the place of worship for 'Samantabhadra Bodhisattva'.
After worshiping this one, there would be six sign interpretations.
In this way, triggering the worship point of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the back, seven sign interpretations would be considered complete.
It's just that, for Luo Xi, obtaining seven sign interpretations was not the real purpose of his trip to Youzuo Temple this time.
"I came here because of the address hidden in the numbers. The puzzle that guy deliberately left behind wouldn't be aimless. This must be a link in a certain plan, and, he obviously looks down on me, he's testing me."
At this time, Luo Xi looked up, as if in the air, there was a huge eye watching him, with scrutiny, with the kind of gaze that an adult looks at a child.
It was as if there was an invisible voice asking him.
"Can you do this question? I guess you can't do it with your level!"
Full of mockery.
This made Luo Xi very unhappy.
So he had to solve this puzzle, so, what seven sign interpretations, had no attraction or value to him, he just wanted to crack the puzzle.
"The order of clues he left behind is, become a Memory Retriever, and then, after a loop day, let Xu Lin make a bowl of soup noodles that can trigger memory fragments and severe headaches, in order to bring out painkillers, and also, the number password address left on the medicine box, and these point to Youzuo Temple."
"So, either the answer is hidden here, or it's another link in this clue order."
"And no matter which one it is, I must figure it out, otherwise, the entire chain will be broken, and the truth will be hidden."
To be honest, this kind of thing is actually very risky.
The risk Luo Xi was talking about was aimed at the former self.
That is, the 'Luo Xi' who left these clues.
If he ignored any link in the entire chain, then there would be no follow-up, no matter how many ingenious backhands the other party arranged, they would be meaningless.
Of course, this problem can actually be avoided, for example, by setting up multiple clues to link them together.
But the problem is, Luo Xi didn't find it.
Was it that he didn't find it, or that it wasn't set up at all?
Because carrying the big-headed monk's sin, even if Luo Xi was blessed with some powerful state, it was still impossible for him to be as light as a swallow like a normal person, so when he walked to the worship point of the Samantabhadra Buddha Hall, there were already several people here.
You have to queue up to worship the Buddha.
First go to the donation box to exchange for incense and life signs.
When Luo Xi took things, he glanced at the donation box, and then went to queue.
Other Memory Retrievers subconsciously avoided him.
Now, even in the eyes of these knowledgeable veterans, Luo Xi was acting too strangely.
Carrying two kinds of terrifying sign interpretations, he didn't die, and, now he's still alive and kicking, that's not to mention, the most bizarre thing is that this person was able to survive from the 'Who am I?' question of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
At that time, everyone thought, did this person know the correct answer.
But after the analysis, they knew it was impossible.
Because this question has no correct answer at all, and there is no correct answer. The reason why the other party was able to survive was because of other reasons.
This is very evil.
And for evil things, normal people are respectful and stay away.
This time the Buddha worship went smoothly, Luo Xi got the sixth sign interpretation.
A very bad sign, evil thoughts like snakes hidden in the body, once they erupt, they devour people's hearts.
