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 himself in order to cut off his physical skin.
Maybe hanging will make you look weaker? He compared it repeatedly and could only find such an explanation.
At this time, the pictures seen by several members of the "Old Tune Group" returned to normal, leaving only simple furniture and slightly mottled walls around.
Jiang Baimian withdrew his gaze staring forward and said with a self-deprecating smile:
"I used to think that the 'Crystal Consciousness Sect' was different from the monk order, and truly restored the Buddhist teachings of the old world.
"Now it seems that Master Jhanaga is relatively special and compassionate.
"Hmm...... Those scenes just now reminded me of the cults in the old world entertainment materials.
"Think about it, the starry night, the dark and wide hall, the gray-robed monks gathered from all directions, the different visions overlapping each other, the Buddha statues quietly watching all this, and the Zen master who claimed to have achieved the right result but suddenly jumped from the top floor of the temple and fell his head...... Aren't they really worshipping evil gods?"
"Evil Buddha." Shang Jianyao corrected Jiang Baimian's words.
Long Yue nodded and said with emotion:
"Indeed, I panicked when I thought about what happened just now."
Bai Chen recalled:
"Even if the 'Crystal Consciousness Sect' is evil, it is not too evil, it is definitely better than the Monk Order.
"When I was in the original city before, I didn't hear of them doing anything excessive, and the evil should be aimed at the internal members."
Obviously, Bai Chen hated the Mechanical Monk Pure Method, and his evaluation of the Monk Order was extremely low.
Jiang Baimian thought carefully for a while, then exhaled and said:
"Go to sleep.
"If I can't find a chance to escape tomorrow and I'm idle, I will borrow the classics and scriptures of the 'Crystal Consciousness Sect' from the monks who deliver the meal to see how their ideas differ from the monk order and some Buddhist scriptures left over from the old world."
She spoke openly about the search for the escape line, and was not afraid of Jhanaga "hearing" it at all.
Anyway, the "old tune team" said that they had resigned themselves to their fate and were willing to stay for ten days, but no one believed it.
So, Shang Jianyao took the lead in occupying a bed.
Jiang Baimian then glanced at Bai Chen:
"You go to bed first, Xiaohong and I will keep vigil."
She pointed to another empty bed.
Even if they were supervised, even if they were in the Sikaro Temple of the "Crystal Consciousness Sect", they did not dare to be careless, and still maintained the habit of taking turns on night duty.
Jhanaga is compassionate and a good person, which does not mean that other monks are like this.
There is a high probability that some of them are in the wrong mental state, and the evil incident that happened just now made every member of the "Old Tune Group" feel wary.
As for why they were regrouped, it was because Jiang Baimian wanted to ensure that each group of people on night duty had the ability to sense human approach.
"Okay." Bai Chen had no questions.
At this time, the painful and struggling "Garibaldi" reached the limit of his physical fitness and fell asleep again.
…………
Silence all night.
Not long after the sun rose, Han Wanghuo, Zeng Duo, and Gnawa drove out of the wilderness wanderer settlement with an old radio transceiver they had traded, and returned to the black wasteland from the mountains on the north bank.
"There is a small hunter team over there." Han Wanghuo, who was driving, looked into the distance and said, "Shall we go over and ask for directions and leave some traces?"
"Yes." Gnawa, who was in the middle of the back row, answered.
Zeng Duo was a little stunned, because she didn't see any small hunter team at all.
After a few more seconds of travel, she realized that there was a multi-purpose car far away.
His eyesight is so good? Zeng Duo glanced sideways at Han Wanghuo in surprise.
She is not surprised that the intelligent robot Gnawa can distinguish things at that distance, but Han Wanghuo, as an ordinary human, can do such a thing?
Thinking of the whites of Han Wang's yellowed eyes, Zeng Duo thought to himself thoughtfully:
"Does he also have aberrations?"
Soon, Zeng Duo recovered and responded to Han Wanghuo's proposal:
"Yes."
Han Wanghuo immediately drove the vehicle behind a small mound, and while simply disguising, he said to Gnawa:
"You stay here and make a posture of reception.
"We can't let others know that we are only three left, we have to make them think that there are more people hiding here."
Gnava was quite satisfied with Han Wanghuo's easy admission that he was a "person":
"No problem."
When he pushed the door and got out of the car, found a good position to "hide", Han Wanghuo drove a dark black off-road, 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 loudly:
"I have something to ask!"
If you don't say hello in advance and go directly like this, you can easily be regarded as a robber or a part-time robber as a relic hunter.
The white utility vehicle also stopped, and a man wearing an old-world cowboy hat walked out of the passenger seat.
He was wearing a white shirt and an open brown vest, with a revolver pinned to his waist and a sharp dagger in his hand.
The man with rough skin and traces of rain and wind looked at Han Wanghuo in the distance for a few seconds, and responded loudly:
"Come and talk about it, it's too hard to shout like this."
He had pressed one hand to the revolver around his waist, indicating that he was not unguarded.
Han Wangduo observed the man and did not start the car immediately.
At this moment, Zeng Duo frowned slightly and said:
"He should have just entered the wasteland for a few days."
This is the judgment made by a relic hunter who has been living in the wasteland all year round.
The water, food, and environment here are quite harsh, and as long as humans enter, no matter how well prepared they are, after five or six days, they will become "dirty" and tired, and they will not be as energetic and clean as the other side.
Han Wanghuo accepted Zeng Duo's judgment and nodded lightly:
"The one closest to this side is the original city, they must have seen our bounty from the original city, and with our current 'disguise', it is impossible for him not to recognize us."
Speaking of this, Han Wanghuo paused:
"Since they recognized us and let us pass, it means that they are certain to deal with us, well, before our 'receiver' arrives."
"Hmm." Zeng Duo glanced at the man wearing the cowboy hat a few more times, and felt that his attitude was indeed suspicious.
Han Wanghuo no longer hesitated, stepped on the accelerator and hit the steering wheel, so that the deep black off-road turned directly to the small mound where Gnawa was "hiding".
The man in the cowboy hat saw this scene and sighed in disappointment.
He immediately took out a walkie-talkie and said in a deep voice:
"Target found."
…………
The sixth floor of Sikaro Temple.
Jiang Baimian looked at the young monk who brought a number of oatmeal bread and clear water, and asked with a smile:
"Zen Master, after last night's events, we have become very interested in your teachings, I wonder if we can borrow a few scriptures to take a look?"
The young monk hurriedly lowered his head and proclaimed the Buddha's name:
"This is exactly the original intention of our religion."
Jiang Baimian was waiting to thank him, but Shang Jianyao by the window suddenly turned around and asked:
"Why are so many monks out today?"
"The chief has entered the Pure Land of Bliss, which is the new world that you ordinary people call it, so we will send people to the five holy places to hold corresponding ceremonies." The young monk replied calmly.
"The Five Holy Lands?" This is the first time Jiang Baimian has heard this mention, "What are the five major ones?"
The young monk shook his head slightly embarrassedly:
"The Buddha said: Don't say, don't say.
"The poor monk can't lie, but he can not answer."
"Why can't you say this?" Jiang Baimian asked suspiciously.
The young monk explained simply:
"The five holy places are all related to my Buddha Bodhi and the Tathagata of World Freedom, or the place where they died, or the place where they came to the world, or where they preached the Dharma in the ancient times of the old world.
"In order to prevent outsiders from destroying the holy place, we have kept the corresponding situation as a secret."
Speaking of this, the young monk smiled and said:
"Actually, I don't know which five holy places they are, I only know a little about them.
"In our sect, only monks who have opened the sixth consciousness can have concrete contact with the things of the holy place."
"Okay." Jiang Baimian exhaled regretfully.
She didn't let Shang Jianyao go up 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 jhanaga is blackened?
Not long after Jiang Baimian and others finished breakfast, the young monk sent several books of "Crystal Consciousness Teaching".
While the four members of the "Old Tune Group" were flipping through one by one, Long Yuehong suddenly snorted:
"There is a piece of paper in it."
Jiang Baimian, Shang Jianyao, and Bai Chen all looked over.
Long Yuehong took out the piece of paper curiously, and said with a smile as she unfolded it:
"It's quite 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 doubtfully and blankly:
"What is written above is the situation of the five holy places......"
This...... Jiang Baimian and others squeezed next to Long Yuehong at the same time and set their eyes on the paper.
On the paper is the flower red river text, and the first row reads:
"Five Holy Places:"
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 of painting is too wrong, isn't it?
Is this the so-called holy place?
Is your holy land a second food company?
Jiang Baimian also had a similar idea, his eyes quickly moved down, and he looked at the third row:
"2. Changhe United Steel Plant."
Changhe United Steel Plant? Jiang Baimian suddenly turned his head sideways 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 met the mechanical monk in the Black Swamp Wilderness?
Isn't it a coincidence that the mechanical monk purification method appeared there?
