No one could answer Shang Jianyao's question, only Long Yuehong seriously thought about why the old monk chose to jump off the building instead of hanging in order to cut off his body.
Maybe hanging will make you look weaker? He repeatedly compared and compared, only to find such an explanation.
At this time, the pictures that several members of the "Old Tune Group" saw in front of their eyes returned to normal, except for the simple furniture and the slightly mottled walls around.
Jiang Baimian retracted his gaze and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"I thought that the 'Crystal Consciousness Religion' was different from the monk order, and truly restored the Buddhist teachings of the old world.
"It now appears that it is the master of Jannaga who is relatively special and compassionate.
"Well... those scenes just now reminded me of the cults in the old world entertainment materials.
"Think about it, the starry night, the dark and deep hall, the gray-robed monks gathered from all directions, the overlapping horizons, the Buddha statues quietly watching all this, the self-proclaimed Zhengguo but suddenly from the top of the temple The Zen masters who jumped off their brains out of their heads... Are they really not the evil gods they worship?"
"Evil Buddha." Shang Jianyao corrected Jiang Baimian's words.
Long Yue nodded and said with emotion:
"Indeed, I panic when I think about what happened just now."
Bai Chen recalled:
"Even if the 'Crystal Consciousness Religion' is evil, it won't be too evil, and it is definitely better than the monk sect.
"When I was in the first city before, I didn't hear that they did anything too much. The evil should be aimed at the internal members."
Obviously, Bai Chen hated the mechanical monk's purification method, and even had a very low evaluation of the monk order.
Jiang Baimian thought about it for a while, and sighed:
"Go to sleep.
"If I can't find a chance to escape tomorrow, I'll be fine when I'm idle, I'll borrow the books and scriptures of the 'Crystal Consciousness Cult' from the monks who deliver the meals, and look at their ideas and the existence of some Buddhist scriptures left over by the monk sect and the old world. What a difference."
She spoke of the search for an escape opportunity in an open and honest way, and she was not afraid of "hearing" it by the Zenaga.
Anyway, the "old tune group" said that they had accepted their fate and were willing to stay for ten days, but no one believed it.
So, Shang Jianyao preemptively occupied a bed.
Jiang Baimian then glanced at Bai Chen:
"You go to bed first, Xiaohong and I will keep watch."
She pointed to the other empty bed.
Even if they were being watched, even if they were in the Sikalo Temple of the "Crystal Consciousness Cult", they didn't dare to be careless, and still maintained the habit of taking turns at night.
Jannaga is compassionate and a good person, which doesn't mean other monks are the same.
There is a high probability that some of them have a wrong mental state, and the evil incident that happened just now makes every member of the "Old Tune Group" vigilant.
As for why the group was regrouped, it was because Jiang Baimian wanted to ensure that each group of people on duty at night had the ability to sense the approach of humans.
"Okay." Bai Chen had no doubts.
At this time, the struggling "Garibaldi" reached the limit of his physical strength, and fell asleep again.
…
Silent all night.
Not long after the sun rose, Han Wanghuo, Zeng Duo, and Genawa took an old radio transceiver they had traded, and drove away from the wilderness homeless settlement, returning to the black wasteland from the mountains on the north bank. .
"There is a small team of hunters over there." Han Wanghuo, who was driving, looked into the distance and said, "Should we go over there to ask for directions and leave some traces?"
"Yes." Genova, who was in the middle of the back row, replied.
Zeng Duo was a little stunned, because she didn't see any small hunter team at all.
After the vehicle drove for a few more seconds, she noticed that there was a utility vehicle far away.
His eyesight is so good? Zeng Duo looked sideways at Han Wanghuo in surprise.
It's not surprising to her that the intelligent robot Genava can distinguish things at that distance, but Han Wanghuo, as an ordinary human, can actually do such a thing
Thinking of Han Wanghuo's yellowed eyes, Zeng Duo thoughtfully said to himself:
"He also has aberrations?"
Soon, Zeng Duo recovered and responded to Han Wanghuo's proposal:
"sure."
Han Wanghuo immediately drove the vehicle behind a small mound, and while simply disguising, said to Genova:
"You stay here, make a gesture of response.
"You can't let people know that there are only three of us left, you have to make them think there are more people hiding here."
Genova was quite satisfied with Han Wangsuo's easy admission that he was a "human":
"no problem."
After he pushed the door to get out of the car and found a good place to "hide", Han Wanghuo drove the dark black off-road vehicle, carrying Zeng Duo, and approached the white utility vehicle.
When there was still a long distance between the two sides, Han Wanghuo took the initiative to stop, leaned out, waved his hand, and shouted:
"I have something to ask!"
If you don't say hello in advance, just go there like this, it is easy to be regarded as a robber or a relic hunter who is part-time robber.
The white utility vehicle also stopped, and a man in an old-world cowboy hat stepped out of the passenger seat.
He was wearing a white shirt and an open brown vest, a revolver around his waist, and a sharp dagger in his hand.
The rough-skinned man, full of traces of rain and wind, looked at Han Wanghuo in the distance for a few seconds, and responded loudly:
"Come here and talk about it, it's too laborious to shout like that."
He had pressed one hand on the revolver around his waist, indicating that he was not unguarded.
Han Wangwen observed the man, but did not start the car immediately.
At this moment, Zeng Duo frowned slightly and said:
"He should have just entered the wasteland a few days ago."
This is the judgment made by a relic hunter who has been in the wasteland for many years.
The water source, food, and environment here are quite bad. As long as humans enter, even if they are fully prepared, they will become "dirty" and tired after five or six days. They will not be as energetic and clean as the other side.
Han Wanghuo accepted Zeng Duo's judgment and nodded lightly:
"The closest one is Primal City. They came from Primordial City and must have seen our bounty. With our current 'disguise', it is impossible for him not to recognize us."
Having said this, Han Wangshou paused:
"Since they recognized us and let us go over, it means that they have a certain degree of confidence in dealing with us, um, before our 'responder' arrives."
"Well." Zeng Duo glanced at the man in the cowboy hat again, and felt that his attitude was indeed suspicious.
Han Wanghuo no longer hesitated, and turned the steering wheel while stepping on the accelerator, making the dark black off-road turn directly to the small mound where Genova was "hiding".
The man in the cowboy hat sighed in disappointment when he saw this scene.
He immediately took out a walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice:
"Target found."
…
The sixth floor of the Sikalo Temple.
Jiang Baimian looked at the young monk who brought several loaves of oatmeal bread and water, smiled and asked:
"Zen master, after what happened last night, we have a lot of interest in your teaching. I wonder if we can borrow a few scriptures to have a look?"
The young monk hurriedly lowered his head and proclaimed the Buddha's name:
"This is the original intention of our teaching."
Jiang Baimian was waiting for his thanks when Shang Jianyao by the window suddenly turned around and asked:
"Why are there so many monks going out today?"
"The chief passed away and entered the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, which is the new world that you ordinary people call the new world, so we will send people to the five holy places to hold corresponding ceremonies." The young monk replied calmly.
"The five holy places?" Jiang Baimian heard this formulation for the first time, "Which five are they?"
The young monk shook his head slightly embarrassedly:
"The Buddha said: You can't say it, you can't say it.
"Poor monks can't lie, but they can't answer."
"Why can't you say that?" Jiang Baimian asked in confusion.
The young monk explained briefly:
"The five holy places are all related to my Buddha, Bodhi, and the Tathagata of the World, or the place where they passed away, or the place where they came into the world, or the place where they taught the Dharma in the ancient times of the old world.
"In order to prevent outsiders from destroying the Holy Land, we have hidden the corresponding situation as a secret."
Having said that, the young monk smiled honestly:
"Actually, I don't know which five holy places they are, I only know a little bit about it.
"In our sect, only monks who have opened up the sixth sense can have specific access to the Holy Land."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian sighed regretfully.
She didn't let Shang Jianyao go to "make friends". After all, people are under the roof, how can they be so arrogant
At that time, what should I do if the jhana is blackened
Not long after Jiang Baimian and the others finished their breakfast, the young monk sent several books of "Crystal Consciousness Teaching".
The four members of the "Old Tune Group" were flipping through the reading room one by one, and Long Yuehong suddenly let out a loud noise:
"There's a piece of paper in here."
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen all turned their attention to the past.
Long Yuehong curiously took out the piece of paper, unfolded it and said with a smile:
"It's pretty new."
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Baimian and Bai Chen got up and walked towards Long Yuehong, and Shang Jianyao jumped over directly.
Long Yuehong came back to her senses, and said in a puzzled and dazed way:
"What it says above is the situation of the five holy places..."
This... Jiang Baimian and the others crowded beside Long Yuehong at the same time, and turned their attention to the piece of paper.
On the paper is the red river script in flower body, and the first row reads:
"Five Holy Lands:"
The second row is the specific name:
"1. Tieshan Second Food Company."
"..." Long Yuehong didn't know how to slander for a while.
This style is so wrong, isn't it
Is this the so-called holy place
Your Holy Land is Second Food Company
Jiang Baimian also had a similar idea, and his eyes quickly moved down to the third row:
"2. Changhe City United Steel Plant."
Changhe City United Steel Plant? Jiang Baimian turned his head suddenly and looked at Shang Jianyao and Bai Chen.
Isn't this the original name of the old world of the ruins of the steel factory where they encountered the Mechanical Monk Purification in the Black Marsh Wilderness
Isn't it accidental that the mechanical monk's purification method appeared there
