Chapter 0031 Headless Bodhisattva
I was startled by her sudden action and called out "Baoer". I saw that her expression was still blank and her eyes were empty, but one hand was raised flat, like a human compass, pointing firmly in one direction.
I looked towards the northwest, picked up Baoer, and walked towards the northwest.
However, she suddenly struggled in my arms with such great strength that I was caught off guard and failed to hold her, and she fell to the ground.
As soon as she landed, she stood up straight, turned around, and still pointed her left hand towards the northwest.
I was extremely surprised to see her pale, expressionless face, black lips, and a rather eerie look. I stretched out my hand and put it on her shoulder, ready to forcibly take the little girl away from here.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fingers touched her shoulder, she suddenly ran away and rushed into the fog.
I was shocked and hurriedly chased after him.
But after just a few steps, I was dumbfounded. Baoer was a little girl less than five years old, with short arms and legs, and she was thin and weak. But when she ran, she was surprisingly fast!
The terrain in this mountain is extremely complex and uneven, and there is heavy fog, so it is difficult for ordinary people to walk normally. But when this little girl runs, she is as fast as a rabbit.
My third uncle has been training me since I was ten years old. I often run fast in the intricate piles of rocks. I can say that I have been used to it. However, no matter how hard I try, I can never catch up.
I was fully focused and didn't dare to relax for a moment. Due to the influence of fog , sometimes I could only rely on sound to capture Baoer's position. Fortunately, she was running in the northwest direction, otherwise I would have lost the target long ago.
When I was halfway through my run, I cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" I thought to myself, could it be that the fake Qin Ran had done something to Bao'er? If this continued, I would be trapped.
I took a deep breath, accelerated my pace, and took a few leaps. Seeing Bao'er right in front of me, I swung my hand and grabbed her shoulder.
But just as I was about to grab her hand, she suddenly ducked and dodged away mysteriously. Her small body moved here and there incredibly fast, and I lost sight of her in the blink of an eye.
I was very anxious and chased after him quickly, but the fog was so thick that I could no longer see Baoer.
After chasing for a while, my strength gradually weakened and my speed became slower and slower. I had no choice but to stop dejectedly, gasping for breath.
But at this moment, the fog rolled and Baoer's thin figure emerged from the fog again.
I was surprised and happy, and hurried over. I saw the little girl standing there straight, with her left hand raised, pointing straight to the northwest.
I found it strange and walked cautiously behind her. Just as I was about to reach out to pull her, the little girl ran into the fog again.
I cursed inwardly and had to chase after him as fast as I could.
But this time, I hadn't been running for long when I suddenly realized that the terrain under my feet was becoming flatter and flatter. Before I could think about it, I suddenly saw Baoer stopped.
I hurriedly stopped, grabbed her arm, and looked around. As far as I could see, the ground was covered with dark soil, but there was not a single blade of grass or tree.
Not a blade of grass grows!
Baoer suddenly pointed forward with his left hand again.
I picked her up and walked forward. After about ten steps, I saw a dilapidated temple vaguely emerging in the pink mist.
My heart was pounding so fast that I took a few steps back, squatted down and grabbed a handful of mud on the ground.
The soil was black with a hint of blood. No grass grew within the area, and all snakes and insects were extinct. It must be an extremely yin place.
From the perspective of Feng Shui, this kind of place is extremely dangerous and it is normal for anything to happen. The best strategy is to run away!
I stood there for a while, let out a light breath, and walked towards the temple gate with Baoer in my arms.
No one knows when this temple was built. It is in great ruins, with cracked tiles on the eaves and charred beams.
The temple door was ajar. I reached out and pushed it open. As soon as I stepped into the temple, I felt a gust of cold wind blowing over me. It was like I had stepped into an ice cellar, and it was freezing cold.
At this time, it was getting dark, and with the rolling fog, the light in the temple was very dim. I could vaguely see a headless Buddha standing in front.
I turned on my phone and looked at it in the light. The Bodhisattva in front of me was much smaller than the one in the He family. It was only about two people tall. It looked like it was made of clay. Its posture, clothing, and gestures were exactly the same as the one in the He family.
In front of the Bodhisattva, there was a broken altar and a worn-out cushion on the ground.
I squatted down and looked at the feet of the Bodhisattva, and sure enough, I saw a line of small words: "Make offerings to me, and you will be blessed with peace and happiness."
All of this is exactly the same as what He Dong recorded in his letter. Back then, he must have knelt on this cushion and kowtowed to the Bodhisattva and prayed.
I looked around. This temple was actually very small. At a glance, I saw that the entire temple was empty, except for the headless Buddha and some broken tiles that had fallen from the roof.
I reached out and touched the walls and pillars, and sure enough, there was not a speck of dust, and not a single cobweb could be seen in the entire temple.
I tried to light a fire, but it wouldn't light up at all. I took out a "Resurrection Talisman", held it between my fingertips and shook it, the talisman collapsed straight in the air and then ignited without wind.
But the flame was extinguished as soon as it was lit.
I was secretly shocked, because this showed that the location of the ruined temple was absolutely extremely sinister and dangerous from the perspective , and that all life was extinct!
In desperation, I could only rely on the light from my mobile phone for lighting.
At this time, Baoer finally put down her raised hands and lay softly in my arms. A five-year-old child should have been pink and tender, but she was skinny and light as a piece of paper.
I felt so distressed watching her, so I carried her to the futon, wondering how to resolve the evil consequences of the He family. To be honest, I had absolutely no idea.
How about letting Baoer kneel down and kowtow to the Bodhisattva like her ancestors did?
I thought about it over and over but couldn't come up with any idea. I could only pick up Baoer and run to examine the headless Buddha inch by inch. Unfortunately, after looking around, I didn't find anything special.
In fact, there is another way, which is to use physiognomy to calculate the mysteries in this temple, but this temple looks extremely dangerous. The biggest possibility is that I will not be able to calculate anything, but instead I will die in it.
But now that things have come to this, I have no other choice but to grit my teeth and give it a try.
At this moment, there was a strange sound of wind suddenly coming from outside the door, and then I saw several figures flashing in from the door, and several bright lights pierced my eyes.
I turned to the side to avoid the bright light, and only heard the fake Qin Ran's voice chuckling, "You run fast, brat!"
The strong light of the flashlight was shining on me. I squinted and saw that Boss Liao and his group were all there, as well as Luo Ziang and his two fellow apprentice brothers.
I was shocked. How did these people get here?
The fake Qin Ran snorted coldly, "That old man surnamed He really did hide something. Haha, luckily we had already done something to this little girl, otherwise we would have been fooled!"
It suddenly dawned on me that something had been done to Baoer, and that was why these people had followed him here.
But they thought that Master He Jiu had deliberately concealed some key points from them, but they didn't know that I actually found this temple by accident by following Baoer.
