Chapter 268: Bait
People are already afraid of death. Now that people are dead in the temple, this kind of thing has spread to hundreds of people, and naturally no one dares to come again.
However, even if there were no pilgrims in the temple, the host in the temple did not seem to have expressed much respect for the arrival of Liu Longting and me. He told us about the situation in the temple and said that their temple had a history of hundreds of years, and this evil Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, was enshrined in the center of the Heavenly King Hall, and said that he took Liu Longting and I to see it.
There are also Buddhists or Buddhists in the Northeast, so it is not considered cross-border when we deal with Buddhist affairs. When a few monks took us into the gate of the Heavenly King Hall, they stopped outside the hall. After all, it was rumored that the smiling Buddha laughed at people three times and the person would die. Only the old abbot took us into the hall.
As soon as I entered the gate of the Heavenly King Hall, it was a big hall, but it gave me a very cramped feeling. As the abbot said, a Buddha with a smile on the face of the Maitreya Buddha was enshrined in the middle of the Heavenly King Hall, with a big belly and a smile on his face. There was nothing different from the Maitreya Buddha I saw when I entered the temple. Except for the wide hall that gave people a very narrow feeling, there was nothing unusual.
This is not only me, but even Liu Longting, who was standing beside me, looked at Maitreya Buddha for a long time, but he did not realize that Maitreya Buddha had any evil spirit. Moreover, Maitreya Buddha himself is a laughing Buddha. Isn’t it normal for him to laugh whenever he sees people?
"Master, I heard that the smiling Buddha died after laughing at people three times. How can he smile at people?" I put my hands together, and the scholars greeted the abbot in a way that the monks outside greeted people, and then asked the abbot's question.
The abbot looked at the Smile Buddha, turned around and raised it to me with one hand and said to me and Liu Longting in a plain tone: "The monks in the temple meet Buddha every day, and have never had anything to do. They have seen that the Buddha hurt people. They are relatives of a pilgrim who came three months ago. She said that her husband went home after sucking incense from the temple. After a night of sleep, he dreamed that the Smile Buddha followed him home and smiled at him in the dream. So he was very happy and thought he had received the blessing of the Buddha. After waking up, he happily told his family about this matter."
"Then the Buddha appeared in the dream of the pilgrim's husband?" I asked the abbot again, after all, Buddha blesses people, and in everyone's eyes, they are great kindness and fraternity. How could this kill people? This made me a little curious.
The abbot nodded: "Later, this male pilgrim dreamed of the Buddha twice. When he dreamed of the third time, he woke up from his dream and told his wife about this matter, and then fell to the ground and died. His wife blamed the Buddha for all this matter and came to the temple to make a big fuss. After her fuss, other believers also told the Buddha that the Buddha harmed people, saying that the Buddha used the same method, and followed the pilgrim home and directly killed the pilgrim in his dream."
When he said this, although the abbot's face had a dull expression, when he looked at Maitreya Buddha, a huge sadness appeared in his eyes, as if he wanted to protect something but could not do anything.
Looking at the abbot's eyes, I felt a little distressed and asked the abbot: "This is a temple. There is a matter of Buddha hurting people. Why don't other Buddhas come forward to solve this problem? Isn't it said that the Buddha's magic power is boundless?"
However, before the abbot could answer my question, Liu Longting answered me for the abbot: "Not every temple has a true Buddha. Even the abbot may not have seen the real Buddha appear in this temple, let alone the Buddha will deal with this matter."
Liu Longting said it directly, and it turned out that the abbot's beard was so angry that he said to Liu Longting: "Who said I had never seen the true Buddha? The reason why I stayed in the temple is because when I was a child, the Buddha asked me to dream of me and said that I had the fate of Buddha and asked me to convert to Buddhism. However, all things in this world are under the control of the Buddha. There is a reason why they don't appear. If you can't see the reason, then please come back. I am merciful, and three of them become tigers. I have not experienced such a thing, so I don't believe in this absurd saying."
After the abbot said this, he turned around and left the Heavenly King Hall. Liu Longting looked at the Smiling Buddha in the center of the Heavenly King Hall and told me to go back.
"Go back?" I finally came here, but now I didn't do anything, so I said I wanted to go back? Is Liu Longting playing with me?
However, Liu Longting said that he wanted to go back, and I couldn't stay in this temple alone, so I followed Liu Longting out. However, when I went out, I looked at the Buddha behind me with a little unwillingness. It was all here, and I went back without even finding out any reason. Naturally, I felt a little unhappy, but when I looked at the back of the Buddha, I didn't know whether it was my illusion or the reason. I saw that the smiley Buddha was originally smiling eyes, and suddenly opened as huge as a copper bell, and the pupils in the middle of the eyeballs were a little like plastic marbles!
I was so scared that my mind was blank in an instant. I forgot how to lift my feet up and walk out. Liu Longting probably couldn't pull my hand, turned around and looked at me, and asked me what's wrong?
As soon as he said this, he immediately woke me up in horror. Now he came to his senses and looked at Maitreya Buddha again. He saw that Maitreya Buddha was still the same as before, smiling without any change.
But the hideous look of the smiling Buddha's eyes suddenly opened, leaving a huge terrifying scene in my heart, because in my heart, the Buddha is the incarnation of kindness, and he suddenly became so terrifying that it created a huge contrast in my heart.
"I saw the Buddha who had just opened his eyes." At this time, I didn't play any tantrums and had a quarrel with Liu Longting. After all, this was related to my life and death.
When Liu Longting heard me say this, he didn't say anything. He took my hand and went outside the temple and we went back.
Because Liu Longting didn't give me any explanation, I felt very scared when I was on the road. Now looking at Liu Longting's thick chest, if I had the same relationship with Liu Longting, I would have wanted to pounce on his arms at this time and ask him if I was entangled by the smiling Buddha?
But there is no such possibility now. Even if Liu Longting doesn't mind me holding him, I won't take the initiative to hug him. So I asked Liu Longting and asked him: "Has the Buddha in the temple been occupied by monsters?" Just like the city god in Xiatang County before, because the city god disappeared, it occupied the position of the city god. This kind of thing needs to be controlled by the righteous god.
While driving, Liu Longting turned his head and looked at me, saying no, we should not talk about this matter first, we will naturally know when we go back.
I'm still waiting to go back. If I'm really entangled by the smiling Buddha, he will enter my dream tonight and hook my soul.
Seeing that I was worried, Liu Longting joked with me now: "Didn't you always say that you are not afraid of death? Why are you so scared?!"
At this time, I really don’t know what words I could use to fight back against Liu Longting. He could always see my thoughts at a glance, and then speak out and laugh at me openly. So I was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and said to him directly: "Yes, I am scared, what's wrong, what does it have to do with you."
Seeing me saying such despicable words, Liu Longting smiled, drove with one hand, reached over with the other, held my hand tightly with his palm, and said to me inexplicably: "You can only be a bait with your ability now. Be strong, when you become powerful, I will be your bait."
As he said that, he held my hand and pulled me hard towards him. He turned around and carried me into his arms. The faint fragrance on Liu Longting's body came to me with the beating of his chest, making me feel a little repulsive, but I didn't want to leave his arms. He acted like a few times and then let Liu Longting hold him.
