Being too ferocious because of caution

Chapter 458 "The remaining bells of the long night" come into my arms...

Through his evil eyes, Zhao Yi saw the strand of black hair from the meal floating to the corner of the room.

He picked up the hair and looked at it carefully by the candlelight.

The hair is half a meter long.

There is the power of rules above, which blocks Zhao Yi's evil eye observation.

In fact, many places in Hongmu Temple are guarded by the power of rules. They are like means used by the secret realm to interfere with Zhao Yi's sight.

With a gentle tug, Zhao Yi broke the hair.

Half of it was placed on the candle flame and was burned to ashes in an instant. It seemed that there was nothing unusual about it.

"Is there anything wrong with my hair...Am I overthinking it?"

Zhao Yi looked at the burnt and curled hair beside the table and frowned slightly.

…

Heavy rain fell across the forest.

The hurricane came with a tidal wave, causing a mess inside the Redwood Temple.

In the main hall, all the monks sat around and lit three hundred candles, illuminating the hall brightly. The strong wind outside the door blew in, but it could not extinguish a single candle in the hall.

The fire candle is stable.

Twelve monks were sitting around a coffin, with their hands clasped together, reciting the Purana Sutra, and their expressions were solemn.

"Abbot Huifa..."

The new abbot entered the hall and was greeted by several other senior monks. Abbot Huifa said to the other monks:

"Don't be too nervous. I have checked the secret documents left by the previous abbot Master Hongmu. The weirdness in his body has been sealed intact. You just need to make sure not to stop reciting the Purana Sutra and ring the bell forty-nine times every night to ward off evil spirits. , the weirdness in Master Hongmu’s body will not revive, and as soon as Master Nanjia arrives, the problems in Hongmu Temple can be cured.”

The monks promised so.

Abbot Huifa inspected the hall, explained to everyone, and then left.

The sound of chanting continued in the hall, echoing the sound of the wind and rain outside.

The monks kept reciting sutras, and these sutras had mysterious power, all of which were absorbed into the body of Master Mahogany, moisturizing everything silently.

Master Mahogany had been dead for several days. His body was not rotten, but was slightly abnormally pale.

Everything was business as usual, no different from the previous days.

As night fell, the chanting of the monks around the coffin became quieter and turned to silent chanting. One of the monks suddenly felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.

"It's true...there are so many people in the temple, but we monks from the Zen Sutra Hall are always allowed to recite the Purana for Master Hongmu's body..."

He complained in his heart that the number of people in the Zen Sutra Hall was limited, so their turnaround time was tight. This monk was called Hui Pu, and he was Hui Jue's senior brother. He had just stayed overnight for Master Hongmu's body the day before, and today he was guarding it again. Got here.

Because he didn't get enough rest and food, he really couldn't stand it.

Yawning profusely, Huipu looked at Master Hongmu lying in the coffin. He had a peaceful face and no evil spirit on his body.

"It seems that Master Hongmu has suppressed the evil spirits in his body very well... Even if there is one less person chanting sutras, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?"

Huipu was so sleepy that his eyelids clenched and he couldn't open his eyes, but he still couldn't forget this matter in his heart.

"Furthermore, Zishi is the most sinister time. At that time, there will be a grand bell to wake me up. It should not be too late for me to recite the Purana Sutra at that time..."

"Let's take a nap first..."

Thinking of this, Huipu slowly fell asleep...

After he fell asleep, the damp cold wind outside the palace blew into the palace, one wisp, two wisps, three wisps and four wisps...

At first, these weak cold winds only caused the candlelight near the door in the hall to sway. However, soon after, because the air was too moist, a candle actually flickered and swayed... and went out.

The first candle went out, and soon there was a second one, a third one...

In a blink of an eye, nearly half of the candles in the temple were extinguished!

The sinister wind became more and more frenzied, hitting Huipu's back. Huipu, who was originally sleeping, suddenly woke up and felt a cold sweat on his back!

"What time is it..."

Huipu came back to his senses a little and immediately found that most of the candles in the hall were extinguished, but the brothers and sisters around him were not aware of it!

"Brother, wake up!"

"Something big happened!!"

Huipu stood up suddenly and shook the shoulder of the senior brother next to him, but the moment he made contact, a biting coldness came from his fingertips!

That is definitely not a temperature that a living person can have!

Huipu stared, took a few steps back, and immediately went to shake the other brothers. However, except for him, the bodies of all the other monks who were responsible for chanting sutras became like ice cubes!

Huipu screamed in horror, fell back and fell to the ground!

"How could...how could this happen?!"

"Brother, you..."

He was frightened, stood up hurriedly, and ran out of the temple regardless of the heavy rain outside!

However, as soon as Huipu turned around, he suddenly discovered that the palace door was missing!

What was supposed to be the palace gate now turned into a thick white wall.

"Door, where is the door?!"

Huipu groped on the wall in horror, as if unwilling to believe what was happening in front of him.

sough--

The sound of my palms rubbing against the wall sounded so feeble.

But Huipu still tried hard to explore.

It wasn't because he thought there was any mechanism on the wall, but Huipu wanted to use this sound to cover up another sound he heard.

That voice... came from behind him.

"Brother Hui Pu..."

"The abbot has said that we have to chant sutras around Master Hongmu's golden body all night long..."

"Where do you want to go..."

The voice was filled with a strong chill, as if it came from the underworld, causing Hui Pu's joints to stiffen. He lay on the wall like a catfish, crying, and shouting with his eyes closed:

"Don't...don't come over!!"

However, the voices became louder and louder, circling around his ears, and with weirdness and coldness, they were sent to Hui Pu's ears and into Hui Pu's brain.

"Please...don't..."

Hui Pu was so scared that he was paralyzed. At the critical moment, a magnificent and peaceful voice dispelled the coldness around Hui Pu:

"Hui Pu...don't be afraid."

When Hui Pu heard this, his body trembled!

This voice...is Master Hongmu!

Feeling the coldness dissipate beside him, Hui Pu was overjoyed, turned around suddenly, and looked at the coffin...

It didn't matter if he didn't turn around, but when he turned around, Hui Pu's seven souls were scared out of his wits!

In the cold and dark hall, Hui Pu suddenly saw that his senior brother, who was sitting cross-legged next to the coffin, had his neck twisted into a weird angle, staring at him with a resentful and cold smile!

And in the coffin, Master Hongmu, who was supposed to be lying inside, actually sat up at this moment!

His eyeballs disappeared, turning into two dark black holes, and fine cracks all over the edges of his eye sockets, making his originally peaceful face extremely weird...

"Hui Pu... Come to my arms..."

"Hui Pu..."

"Come..."
