Chapter 150 Mud Plow Purgatory (5)
Feng Shenzheng watched carefully, but Lu Ban felt anxious.From the moment he entered the palace, he felt a little timid in his heart. Seeing how lifelike the statues were, he couldn't help being startled.After being shaken by the incense mist, the clay statue is full of brilliance, especially the big black and white eyes, which seem to be alive. No matter where Lu Ban turns his head, he can feel the chill on his back, like a light on his spine, like an ice paste touch.

After staying for a long time, Lu Ban only felt his chest was oppressed, and he couldn't help feeling numb.He hurriedly turned his head and turned his face away, instead of looking at those horrific statues, his eyes fell on a few busy yellow-clothed monks in the corner.

Several yellow-clothed monks were busy with their hands, adding mud and filling paste to a statue that had just begun to take shape according to the tracing powder book.As soon as Lu Ban looked together, he naturally paid attention to the rough clay statue.The head and face of the clay statue have not been smoothed, the surface is lumpy and lumpy, and it is impossible to tell what is being molded. Just looking at the big appearance of the protruding skull and bulging belly and waist, it must not be a good god.

The embryonated mud is mixed with grass straw and cotton wool, and is wrapped in the dark ocher mud layer, which looks like broken meridian veins attached to rotten minced meat, making the whole statue seem to be covered by Shocking as if peeled off.

Suddenly, the statue's neck seemed to move.Lu Ban thought it was his own dizziness, but when he looked closely again, the statue's head and neck were indeed tilted a few inches more than before, and there was a sharp gap between the neck, and a lot of half-dry clay and fine sand fell down.

"Ah! It's really fucking alive!"

The hair on Lu Ban's head stood on end immediately, and his scalp exploded with a "buzz". He took out the short gun hidden in his arms, and was about to fire it on the spot.

Seeing Lu Ban's head rushing towards the muzzle, the expressions of several yellow-clothed monks changed drastically.Before they could react, Hongzhi, the supervisor, rushed forward.

"What is the leader going to do!?" Hong Zhi's face turned pale, and he held Lu Ban's hand tightly, "Buddhism is a pure place, you must not use a knife or a gun!"

"Return to a clean place?" Lu Ban was sweating profusely, "Didn't you see that this temple is full of demons? You hurry up and let go, I have to destroy that evil statue!"

"Where is the evil image coming from?" Hongzhi pleaded, "Let's put down the gun first, don't blaspheme the gods!"

Seeing this, Feng Shen knew something was wrong. "Brother, don't worry, what did you see?"

"Brother, you don't know," Lu Ban was still in shock, his finger still daring not to leave the trigger. "That Lao Shizi seems to be alive!"

"Alive!?" Several yellow-clothed monks shuddered at the same time, "Don't scare us, my lord... This statue is made of mud, how can it be revived?"

"It can move!" Lu Ban said anxiously, "I saw it clearly, it definitely turned its head just now! Don't talk nonsense, you guys also help, and while this evil image is not in the air, let's smash it to pieces together, so as not to waste it." suffer from it!"

"Brother is not busy," Feng Shen said calmly, "Wait for my younger brother to step up and check!"

"Brother, what are you looking for?" Lu Ban nodded, "The seam on the neck is still there! Something must have happened!"

Feng Shen didn't say yes or no, and walked towards the depths of the group of portraits.How can Lu Bantou rest assured?He had no choice but to keep up with the short gun.Worried that Lu Bantou would go his own way regardless, Hongzhi also followed suit, lest he be too far behind.

The three of them came to the statue with three thoughts.Several yellow-clothed monks were at a loss, looking at Hongzhi with fear on their faces. "Senior Brother Supervisor...Look at this..."

"What are you panicking about?" Hongzhi shouted at the yellow-clothed monk, "My Buddha's magic power is boundless, what ghosts dare to haunt this solemn hall?"

"What's the use of just talking about it?" Lu Ban was still on guard, "Isn't it? The base is covered with dirt, it must have fallen when it turned its head!"

"Scum?" Hongzhi looked at the crack, and then came to his senses, "Hey! The poor monk finally knows what's going on!"

"Oh?" Feng Shen was dubious, "But why?"

"Benefactor Ma doesn't know something," Hongzhi said, "Before this statue, the bones have to be erected and piled first, and then the mud is applied layer by layer. Perhaps the pillars of this statue are not standing firmly, and the head is heavy and the body is light." .”

"Why doesn't it fall if it's head-heavy?" Lu Ban questioned, "Why does it only turn its neck?"

"Leader, let's look here." Hongzhi pointed to the neck of the statue and said, "This statue is intended to be a 'Shuishuipo Lilan'. It has a wide head, a huge belly, round arms and thick limbs, but the neck is thin and short. Unbearable. Team leader, think about it, the neck connects to the body, which already bears a lot of strength. In addition, when the two first entered the palace, all the juniors stopped working for a while, which made the pressure between the neck insufficient and the stickiness gradually lost. This is when the neck is split and the head is tilted, as if the face has been twisted."

Lu Ban glanced at the statue, and felt somewhat convinced. "It's...it's ours, isn't it?"

"Don't dare, it's because poor monks and juniors are not skilled enough." Hongzhi turned to the yellow-clothed monks, "Why don't you fix it quickly? Try to finish it off before the evening class."

Just as the monks were about to move, Feng Shen walked around the statue quietly and looked closely.He poked to the left and tapped to the right, and after confirming that it was definitely a mud embryo, he nodded slightly. "It seems to be a false alarm."

Hearing what Feng Shen said, all the monks in yellow breathed a sigh of relief, they all glanced at Lu Ban's head, picked up the brackets, and continued to add mud.Although they didn't say anything, there was a bit of complaint in their eyes. Lu Bantou knew that the monks made a fuss on his own, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem," Lu Ban coughed a few times, blushing and put away the short gun. "Well...brother, it's so boring here, I'll wait for you outside the hall!"

"Okay," Feng Shen said, "I'll take another look, and I'll be here in a moment."

Hongzhi hurriedly asked: "Then the poor monk is going to call an intellectual to accompany the team leader?"

"No, no, no! I'll go out to get some air, you can just stay here!" After Lu Bantou finished speaking, he strode away from the hall.

As soon as he arrived outside the hall, Lu Ban felt a little dark above his head, and saw a huge black shadow casting on the open space in front of the hall.Startled, he quickly turned around and looked up.Through the raised eaves, one can see that there is still a towering pagoda standing in the courtyard in the distance.
