Manor Romance

Chapter 44

The temple was not big, and under Yunli's leadership, he quickly found the target. In the open space in the backyard, a half-person-high iron tree stood abruptly there, surrounded by sparse grass, which was very conspicuous.Not far from the right side of the iron tree, there is a rotten tree head. It seems that there was another old iron tree here before, but it has been dead for a long time. I don't know if it was destroyed in that catastrophe.

At first glance, this old iron tree is not much different from other iron trees in the village. The trunk is straight and the branches and leaves are scattered evenly. Most of Iron Tree's lower body was covered.

But from the gaps, it can be seen that the trunk of the old iron tree is dark red, which is very different from the brown-black color of ordinary iron trees. Yunli estimated that this old iron tree is at least five or six hundred years old, which is very rare. , Judging from the feedback information of the electromagnetic force, it is very suitable for cultivation.

It was a surprise to meet this old iron tree, but it took a lot of work to transport it back to Xiaolu Mountain, not to mention whether the little old man was willing to let him dig the tree away. Resolutely opposed, and it is not easy to use force, although it is not too difficult for him to snatch this old iron tree.

While Yunli was pondering, Lin Changqing couldn't wait to go and take a closer look. When he was walking in the middle of the courtyard, his heart suddenly skipped a beat, and a feeling of extreme uneasiness welled up in his heart. In an instant, the ground he was standing on suddenly sank. , Before he could react quickly, the whole person fell with the ground.

"Ah..." When Lin Changqing came to his senses and cried out, he didn't fall down with the ground as he imagined, and he vaguely felt his right foot was being firmly grasped by something from the information conveyed by his nerves , because he was too frightened, he could only cry out like a conditioned reflex.

"Brother Lin! Brother Lin!" After being confused for a while, Lin Changqing recovered a little bit, recognized Yunli's shout, turned his head to look up, and it turned out that Yunli saved him.But now the situation is very critical, Yunli also fell into the big pit, holding Lin Changqing's ankle with one hand, and the other hand is pulling a strap of the backpack, and the other strap of the backpack is wrapped around the buckle in the pit on a rock outcropping.

"Brother Lin, calm down, put your body on the wall of the pit, find a strong point to grab it, and stabilize your body first." Seeing Lin Changqing recovering, Yun Li immediately reminded him.I saw him straddling his horse sideways on the wall of the pit. Since he didn't have a suitable point of support, he was struggling with both hands, veins burst out on his arms, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

He noticed something was wrong earlier than the person involved, Lin Changqing. Between the lightning and the flint, relying on the energy burst out of the electromagnetic force, he caught Lin Changqing in a very short time, and found a grip to stabilize his figure.

Realizing that he had recovered a small life, the ecstasy of surviving the catastrophe instantly replaced the fear, Lin Changqing immediately followed Yunli's request, clinging to the wall of the pit, and hurriedly groped with both hands, looking for a support point.

Lin Changqing's recovery relieved Yunli's burden a lot. He observed the surrounding situation, except for the rock that was entangled by the buckle of his backpack, there was no good grip.

Since he didn't have one, he created it by himself. The feet of the straddling step gradually closed together, his back was pressed against the wall, and his feet slowly pushed out towards the soil on both sides, gradually forming a shallow path to provide support points for his feet. .

Lin Changqing didn't understand what Yunli was going to do, but at a critical moment, he didn't dare to make a sound to disturb him, so he could only watch Yunli's every move intently, but when Yunli kicked the soil with his feet, a small amount of sand fell into his mouth His nose made him very uncomfortable, but he had to resist to keep his body still, and tears and snot flew together for a while.

After the feet were fixed in the shape of a straight horse, Yunli's current posture is a standard "cross" shape. From a distance, it looks like a cross nailed to the wall of the pit.After having enough force points, Yunli began to exert force, slowly pulling Lin Changqing up until he was halfway up to his waist, Lin Changqing was finally able to turn around, and under Yunli's instructions, step on the Climbing up with his body, successfully escaped from the deep pit.

Without the burden of Lin Changqing, Yunli retracted his feet, relaxed his sore muscles and bones a little, and returned to the ground after a few climbs, extremely calm.

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Lin Changqing was still in shock. He lay on his back on the rocks at the entrance of the backyard, panting heavily. Just sucked a few mouthfuls of mud and sand.

"Brother Yunyun, if it weren't for you, my brother's life would have been lost. I don't know how to thank you for such a great kindness." After recovering a little bit, Lin Changqing sat upright and looked at Yunli sincerely. Said.

Just now, Yunli had exhausted himself a lot. He took a few deep breaths, waved his hand and said, "What, if it wasn't for my business, Big Brother Lin wouldn't be in such a dangerous situation, as long as he is fine, Don't mention thank you."

"Although I was born in Laos, the blood flowing in my body is Han people. The kindness of a drop of water will be repaid by the spring. If there is anything I need in the future, just ask me." Lin Changqing patted his heart and assured, with a look The appearance of perseverance.

Seeing that he was so stubborn, Yun Li no longer forced himself, nodded his head, and then observed the surrounding situation.

The middle part of the backyard has basically collapsed. The old iron tree that Yunli cares about the most is just on the edge of the big pit. He could easily dig out the whole old iron tree, which saved him a lot of effort.

Surprisingly, the roots and hairs of the old iron tree, like the trunk, are all dark red, which is quite strange. I don't know if it is the reason of lightning that made it mutate, or it is really like what the villagers said, it is the result of a monk who died in vain in a Buddhist temple. Resentment.

The collapsed crater was about ten meters deep, and the surrounding ground was very loose, and there was still danger of further collapse, so Yunli and Lin Changqing did not dare to get too close. Because the collapse was too loud, many people from the village had already rushed over. But due to the intimidating power of the rumors, they dare not step into the Buddhist temple to see what happened, so they could only gather around the gatehouse and discuss non-stop. The village chief who took the lead was even more anxious. rushed in.

After waiting for a long time, the two outsiders came out. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were all right. Some put their hands together and said some words of blessing, and some even knelt down and faced the direction of the west. worship.

If the two of them had an accident, it would bring unimaginable trouble to Fruit Village, especially if one of them was a foreign tourist. No matter which country this kind of thing happened in, it would attract a lot of attention.

When I told about the Buddhist temple before, I thought it was to scare the two of them, and told them to quickly choose a cycad tree and collect money to see them off, but I didn't expect that the two were really not afraid, which made the little old man feel uncomfortable again. Annoyed and angry, simply ignore them.But he never expected that not long after the two went up, there would be such a big commotion, which shocked him so much that he hurriedly summoned the villagers to come up to see what happened, already scolding Yunli and Lin Changqing in his heart.

As soon as he saw the two people coming out, the little old man, the village head, went up to hold them back, chattering loudly, as if he was afraid that they would slip away from him again.

Lin Changqing whispered a few words to the little old man, then raised his hands, made a quiet gesture, and said loudly to everyone in Lao language: "The situation is like this. Just now when we two brothers went into the temple, we met the souls of the monks. They said they wanted to go back to the Buddha, and they didn't want to be trapped here and cause trouble for everyone."

"What was the loud noise just now? Could it be the souls of the monks rushing out?" someone in the crowd asked.

With an idea, Lin Changqing took off the string of Buddhist beads on his wrist, showed them in front of everyone, and said loudly: "That's true, just now we recklessly broke in and awakened the souls of the monks. I made a big pit and buried my brothers in it. Fortunately, both of us are devout Buddhist believers, and we had to be instructed by an eminent monk in the early years. This string of Buddhist beads is the token left by the eminent monk back then. The soul of the monk saw this After reading the prayer beads, he stopped and asked us to leave."

"Then how will they leave? Will they bury the village too? I don't know if our prayer beads will work or not." Someone in the crowd raised a question again, causing everyone to panic.

Lin Changqing raised the Buddha beads again, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, everyone, we just discussed with the monk's soul, we will definitely not embarrass you, they will live in the old iron tree in the backyard, and we brothers To transport the old iron trees and send them to famous Buddhist temples to save them, now we need a cart, a shovel, and some thick ropes.”

At this time, the village head of the little old man also spoke up: "I listen to the guests, and prepare the things quickly."

The little old man's words were still very useful, everyone discussed it, and someone went down the mountain to carry tools. Taking advantage of the gap, Lin Changqing gave Yunli a wink, indicating that things were going well.

Although he couldn't understand what they said, Yunli knew the general content. Lin Changqing's remarks were made up temporarily to fool the villagers after the two discussed it.If they didn't do this, it would definitely not end well if the two of them made such a big noise, so they simply told the matter where they were most taboo, and thanks to Lin Changqing's wit, he followed their concerns and talked about things vividly and successfully. Fool them.

During the whole process, Yunli stood aside and handed over the stage to Lin Changqing to perform. At the same time, he was also ready for the villagers to turn their backs, but seeing the expressions of conviction on the faces of the villagers, he knew what was going on. It went well.
