The Mysterious Recovery of the Forgotten World

Chapter 101 Kerosene Lamp

At this time, Jiang Hao also lit up several candles arranged in the temple.

In an instant, several candles illuminated this not-so-large temple.

Afterwards, Jiang Hao held a candle and said to Gu Li and Li Leping, "You guys wait here for a while, I'll go to the utility room to get things."

"Okay, you are busy."

As if returning to his own home, Gu Li directly found a futon and sat on it without caring whether there was dust on it.

Then, he patted the futon beside him, and said to Li Leping: "You're welcome, come, sit down and rest for a while before we talk."

Li Leping was not as casual as he was, nor did he sit down to rest. Instead, he glanced at Jiang Hao's leaving figure, and then turned his gaze back to the small temple.

The interior of this temple is much cleaner and neater than Li Leping imagined.

Although the outside of the temple looks very decayed, the inside of the temple is well-organized. There are a few simple tables and a few futons that are clean and free of dust.

There are also traces of cleaning in the corners of the temple. Although the floor tiles at the bottom of the feet are inevitably eroded by the years, there is no dust on them.

The air in the entire temple is rather fresh, without that musty smell of decay.

Taking a closer look, Li Leping looked at the most conspicuous Buddha statue in this temple.

He is not a member of the sect, and he doesn't have a deep understanding of this kind of gods and Buddhas, and he doesn't know what kind of Buddhas are enshrined in this temple.

However, you can see that there is an incense burner on the table in front of the Buddha statue, which is full of incense ash and incense roots left after the incense is burned.

"There is only monk Jiang Hao in this temple?" After looking around, Li Leping looked at Gu Li who was sitting on the futon.

But he found that Gu Li really regarded this place as his own home, and now he was still in the mood to pull out his smartphone and keep swipe his fingers across the screen, obviously swiping the news feed.

"what?"

Immediately, Gu Li was a little dazed, with the sluggish appearance of holding the phone and the look of looking at Li Leping, he was completely like a student who was suddenly called by the teacher to answer when he was absent in class.

"Oh, do you think Jiang Hao is the only monk in this temple?"

Fortunately, his memory is not bad, at least much better than Li Leping.

"Yeah, he is the only monk in this temple, you don't even think about it, this place is poor and remote, who would come here for nothing?" Gu Li replied.

"You also know that normal people don't come here, so why would he come?" Li Leping asked retortly.

It's not that he is suspicious, but that such a dilapidated temple suddenly sits in a place where there is no village in front and no shop in the back, which really makes people think too much.

I don't know if this ruined temple has the right to operate...

"I'm not sure about this, and it involves other people's privacy. He doesn't want to say it, and I'm too embarrassed to ask."

Gu Li turned his attention back to his phone, and at the same time he did not forget to answer Li Leping's question.

Li Leping always felt that Gu Li knew something, but he didn't want to tell him.

This is also normal.

It boils down to one sentence.

Who are you holding?
"Benefactor, I am here, naturally there is a reason for me, it's just not convenient to reveal."

suddenly.

A voice came from outside the door.

Jiang Hao, whose face was half covered by a King Kong mask, returned.

He stepped over the stone steps, still holding something in his hand.

After walking in, under the light of the candle, Li Leping could clearly see what he was holding in his hand.

It was a kerosene lamp that is rarely seen nowadays.

But when Li Leping saw the kerosene lamp clearly, his eyes shrank suddenly.

The kerosene lamp in Jiang Hao's hand is generally black in color, and looks like a gourd with a thin waist and a big belly.

But in the glass cover in the middle of this kerosene lamp, there is a terrifying thing.

In an ordinary kerosene lamp, the lamp base will be filled with kerosene. You only need to ignite the cotton rope and cover the lamp tube, and the oil lamp will light up.

However, in the kerosene lamp in Jiang Hao's hand, there was no kerosene injected into the lamp socket, or there was no kerosene at all.

Some are just a blackened palm.

A palm that seemed to be cut off by something and was burned as black as coal.

Vaguely, Li Leping smelled a stink.

The smell came from the liquid spilled from the blackened palms, and it smelled a bit like corpse oil.

"Light the cotton thread, and the corpse oil on this hand will start to burn, and the oil lamp will light up with a dark green light. Within the range covered by the light, people will not be killed by ghosts, and they will be in an absolutely safe state."

Jiang Hao lifted the kerosene lamp slightly so that Li Leping could see more clearly.

Ok?
"Why does it sound a bit like a ghost candle?"

Li Leping's expression moved slightly, thinking in his heart.

Sensing the change in his face, Jiang Hao seemed to have misunderstood what he meant, thinking that he did not believe that kerosene lamps had such an unreasonable ability.

"It's normal if you don't believe it. I can only say that this thing has been tested by several supernatural events. Whether it works or not, I know very well. If you don't believe me, then I will put it away."

Li Leping hurriedly said: "No, I believe it."

"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This oil lamp has such an unreasonable ability to evade supernatural powers. It must be accompanied by a terrible price when used."

The more outrageous the ability of a supernatural item, the more terrifying price will always be accompanied.

"There must be a price." Jiang Hao said calmly.

"Sometimes, the palm in the glass cover will lose control after being ignited for a period of time. I don't know the exact time. If you are lucky, it can be 10 minutes, or 10 minutes. If you are unlucky, it may be just lit. How long did it take to get out of control?"

"At that time, the light will turn black, and the black light will attract ghosts to attack people within the range of the light."

"If there are no ghosts around that can be attracted to attack you, then the black light will also make the ghosts in your body restless and speed up the recovery of ghosts."

Isn't this the red and white ghost candle?
Li Leping looked at the kerosene lamp in Jiang Hao's hand and thought so.

"How did you extinguish the lit flame?" Li Leping asked, looking at the familiar kerosene lamp.

"Take a golden lampshade, unscrew the cap on the oil lamp, and then put the lampshade down, so as soon as you see signs of losing control of the oil lamp, throw the lampshade in quickly. It won't be that serious."

Gold will be melted by high temperature, but the lights generated by supernatural power cannot affect gold.

Although Jiang Hao looks like a kind monk, the method he gave is very direct and effective, and at the same time very simple and rude.

Li Leping stared at the kerosene lamp in Jiang Hao's hand: "Okay, Gu Li should have told you in advance that I need to borrow this thing for five days, so you can make a price."

A lot of things are clearly priced, and they are not your parents, so can they be borrowed for you?
But at the next moment, Jiang Hao clasped his hands together, like an eminent monk who has no desires or desires: "You don't need to give me anything, I'm a monk, if I spend so much time on greed, then my four years of college will be in vain." Yes, take it away if you need it, and return it to me on the day it is returned."

"However, I have another bad news. Someone ordered this oil lamp with me in advance, and someone will be sent to pick it up in two days. Monks don't lie, so you have to discuss it with that person."

Hearing this, Gu Li interrupted with some displeasure: "No, Lao Jiang, who is so awesome, give me his phone number, and I'll talk to him, I don't believe it anymore. Can you be so anxious as to save a life?"

Jiang Hao glanced at Gu Li, who had no serious appearance, and slowly said three words.

"Wang Xiaoming."
