Chapter 46 Returning Home (Thirteen)
Let me explain the current situation on the field: the three members of the Zong family have been completely wiped out and are now quietly sleeping on the open space next to them.
Ah Li and Lu Ren stood side by side, their faces solemn, like two warriors preparing for a life-and-death battle. If it weren't for the Qilin cub who kept rubbing his head against Lu Ren, the two of them would have looked murderous.
The Qilin cub hadn't seen Lu Ren for a long time. It was extremely excited to see Lu Ren at this moment. It rubbed its head against Lu Ren and kept muttering, "Ah Ren! Ah Ren!" Now it was so big that even Lu Ren, an adult, could not stand steadily because of it. He could only stagger and keep serious.
On the other hand, although the mountain ghost standing on the side looked aggressive, he used Qi Yu's body, and Qi Yu was just a high school student, only about 1.7 meters tall. How should I put it? He looked like he had "Wait for me to jump up and hit your knee" engraved on his forehead, and he didn't look like he had any killing power at all.
Our camp looked like it was about to lose before the fight even started.
Fortunately, the evil Buddha did not have any intention of being a regular army. Apart from the evil Buddha himself, most of his followers were old, weak, sick and disabled. In order to chase the Qilin cub, many of them had fallen behind on the mountain road. The remaining ones now began to sit in groups of three or four to rest, and even massaged each other's waists and legs, lamenting that time was unforgiving.
Very good. If a fight really breaks out, the opposing camp will look like they will fall to the ground at the touch of a finger, and Lu Ren’s savings of so many years will be wiped out.
This evil Buddha has such a vicious heart!
Naturally, it is impossible for the mountain ghosts to really go to war with humans, and it is impossible for Lu Ren to really fight with the old, weak and sick. What's more, there are still one or two young people with fighting ability on the opposite side, so it is still unclear whether they can win.
At the critical moment, Ali still had a way. She clenched her right hand into a hollow cylinder and blew air out through the cylinder. As she moved, a breeze blew up from the mountains, mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees. The believers not far away fell asleep at the same time when they smelled the smell.
The situation on the field has now become three to one. If we only compare the number of heads instead of the number of hands and feet, Lu Ren's team currently has an absolute advantage.
The Buddha Head didn't seem to be the least bit anxious because he was outnumbered. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the mountain ghost, commenting, "He has quite a few tricks."
The Buddha's head stretched out a skinny finger and raised it from bottom to top. Then, ghosts emerged from the ground like shadows, howling and standing around the Buddha's head. There was not a single piece of good flesh on the bodies of these ghosts. The rotten flesh flowed down their cheeks like melted wax. Their green eyes stared at the two people and one beast opposite them, as if they were looking at a delicious dish on a plate.
Ready to go.
Ali quickly formulated a battle plan based on the situation on the field. She told Qilin cub, "You take care of those ghosts, and I will entangle the Buddha's head." Then she said to Lu Ren, "You are responsible for destroying the reclining Buddha statue. Remember! If the evil Buddha comes after you, never look directly into the eyes on the evil Buddha's head."
Lu Ren nodded, but the Qilin cub didn't seem to take A Li's words seriously. It was still concentrating on "sucking" Lu Ren, muttering: "Ah Ren! Ah Ren!"
Lu Ren said to Qilin cub helplessly: "Be good and listen to Sister A Li. When this matter is over, I will make you something delicious." Qilin cub's ears moved when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he did not give up rubbing his head against Lu Ren. So Lu Ren took advantage of the situation and said, "It tastes better than stewed eggs!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Qilin cub jumped out with a "woop", as excited as a Tibetan mastiff seeing meat.
The ghosts were very afraid of the Qilin when they saw it going into battle. This was not surprising, as the Qilin was a sacred beast that was not something that these little minions could deal with. However, since the evil Buddha had issued a death order, these ghosts could only hold out for a while.
Speaking of the ghosts, they are also very pitiful. They were originally human beings, but they were killed by the evil Buddha, and the causes of death were even more bizarre. When they were human beings, after blindly believing in the evil Buddha, they began to listen to the evil Buddha's fabricated teachings. Some died of not eating or drinking in the hope of becoming immortals; or some blindly believed in the statement of the chief priest Lu Guoqing that he could cure all diseases, and died of not going to the hospital when they were sick but hiding at home drinking talisman water.
If you are not smart when you are alive , how can you make waves after you die?
Now he has become a ghost, being used as cannon fodder by the evil Buddha. Since he is already a ghost, he cannot die again, but when he is really beaten, he still feels as painful as if he is still alive.
Speaking of which, they were the ones who were digging around the windows of Zong Nian and Yang Guan on the first night. They had originally wanted to help the evil Buddha find out, but who knew they would run into a tough guy. Yang Guan's wind blade directly cut off one of Gui Yi's arms, and the broken arm instantly turned into a pool of rotten blood after falling into the mud. Poor Gui Yi couldn't pick it up even if he wanted to. Now the half sleeve is still empty, with only the sleeve hanging in the wind.
I don't know if the soul missing an arm during reincarnation will affect the physical body in the next life. What if the right hand is born with congenital hypoplasia? According to the modern people's habit of doing prenatal check-ups, the baby may be forced to reincarnate again when it is just formed in the mother's womb.
However, as a lackey of the evil Buddha, it is impossible for him to escape from the battlefield, so he can only bite the bullet and fight.
The ghost Yi was indeed an extremely unlucky person. This time, he mixed in with the ghosts and wanted to fish in troubled waters, but he was hit by the Qilin's tail sweep, which directly knocked off his left arm. The ghost Yi looked at the two bare arms under his shoulders, and felt that happiness also melted into the mud along with his left arm.
The life of the despised henchman Yi.
Of course, for Qilin, dealing with the minions was a piece of cake, but the number of minions under the evil Buddha was so large that it was impossible to completely clear them out in a short time. So although these minions could not cause any harm to Qilin, they still firmly tripped Qilin up.
At this moment, Lu Ren was standing at the back of the battlefield. In front of him to the right was a mountain pond, and on the other side of the pond was the reclining Buddha statue. Lu Ren only needed to walk to the right, and he could reach the reclining Buddha statue through the somewhat rugged mountain road and destroy the spirit gathering array. The Buddha head obviously knew his plan.
As soon as Lu Ren moved his feet to the right, the Buddha's hands and feet swung over like whips and rushed towards Lu Ren. Just as the hands were about to touch Lu Ren, Ali stepped forward and fought with the evil Buddha again. Lu Ren, who was protected by Ali, did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly cherished the precious time that Ali had bought for him and began to climb along the mountain road to get closer to the reclining Buddha.
Thanks to Lu Ren's excellent physical fitness, climbing the slightly sloping mountain road was quite smooth, and soon he arrived at the foot of the reclining Buddha.
He remembered Ali saying, "If you want to destroy the reclining Buddha statue, you need to use this magic weapon to destroy the statue's eyes."
Lu Ren unwrapped the black cloth that wrapped the instrument, revealing a vajra forged from pure gold. The vajra was heavy and shone brightly in the sunset.
Lu Ren took the vajra in his hand and walked closer to the eyes of the reclining Buddha.
But at this moment, Lu Ren heard a muffled groan from Ali on the other side of the river, followed by the Buddha's voice: "If you don't turn back, you will not see the last of this mountain ghost."
If Lu Ren looked back, he would see that Ali was being held by the Buddha's head by the neck. As a mountain god, even if he was just a small god, Ali had stayed in Qi Yu's body for too long. Qi Yu's body could not withstand the power of the god and began to show signs of collapse, which slowed Ali's movements. As expected, Ali was caught by the Buddha's head and became a bargaining chip to threaten Lu Ren to turn back.
But Lu Ren did not look back. He even thought that Buddha's head was in a bad mood: Are you kidding? If you smash the reclining Buddha, everything will be over. Who would turn around and fall into this obvious trap?
The vajra decisively pierced into the reclining Buddha's eyes, and before that, Lu Ren heard a loud noise behind him.
Originally, the Buddha head was confidently pinching the mountain ghost, waiting for Lu Ren to turn around and give him his head. Who would have thought that before Lu Ren turned around, the mountain ghost in his hand suddenly went limp.
The Buddha frowned and thought, "I didn't use much strength." Then he saw the hair of the boy in his hand slowly turn from white to black. Only then did the Buddha realize that the mountain ghost had left the boy's body. Before he could take any action, a powerful roundhouse kick hit his head from behind, sending the Buddha flying and taking away the boy's body.
The Buddha's head was kicked several meters away. He looked fiercely at A Li, who was standing opposite him and hugging the sleeping Qi Yu. He was about to get up and fight back, but suddenly he felt that his originally abundant strength was gradually disappearing. So he turned his head to look at the other side, only to see that Lu Ren had already poked the reclining Buddha's eyes with his vajra.
The barrier like a transparent film covering Fengxu Village was gradually disappearing from top to bottom - the spirit gathering formation was broken.
Lu Ren, who was still holding the vajra in both hands, breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the matter was over, but he heard the Buddha head behind him chuckle. He said, "Do you think you are saved?"
Lu Ren hadn't realized what the Buddha head meant. At this moment, the stone wall with the reclining Buddha statue began to crack, and countless cracks appeared out of thin air. Countless black tentacles stretched out from the cracks.
Lu Ren had seen these tentacles before. These were ruins.
At the same time, the fierce voice of the Buddha head came from behind: "Fengxu Village is actually Fengxu Village. There are many passages in the human world that connect to Guixu, and there happens to be one behind the stone next to you. Now that you have destroyed the spirit gathering formation, you have also opened the road to Guixu, hehe." There was some gloating in the voice of the Buddha head, "We will meet in hell."
