Chapter 895: The Giant God Under the Stars
What's this? Dead people?
Xu Cheng was a little surprised, she saw that they were motionless, all of them were sedentary people wearing red monk robes.
She took Pao Pao's hand and went back to the entrance of the village. Huai Zang had already unloaded all the goods, and he was sitting on the nuclear-powered tricycle, waiting to pick Xu Cheng and Pao Pao out of the village.
"Quack." Xu Cheng waved at Huai Zang, he turned his head and looked at Xu Cheng and Pao Pao with his electronic eyes.
"A lot of people, a lot of dead people!" Pao Pao gestured in surprise, "From the edge of the village to the distant mountains!"
"Are they all wearing red robes?" Huai Zang asked.
"Yes!" Bubble nodded fiercely.
"...Be merciful. Those are elderly villagers who want to save resources for the whole village. In the past six years, everyone over the age of 60 will consciously wear the red monk's clothes sewn by their family members or villagers. Leave the village and go to the distant snow mountain, walk as far as you can, sit down when you are tired from walking, and then leave us." Huai Zang said softly.
Xu Cheng swallowed.
She turned to look at the village. The young people took out the food that Xu Cheng brought from Jialongpo from the warehouse, and took it home to cook.
What they brought made the village a little richer. But if you want to save the lives of those old people, I'm afraid it's not enough.
Knowing the situation in the village, Xu Cheng looked at some people in their 50s. Their faces were wrinkled, their faces were friendly, and their demeanor was calm. Red monk robes were hung on the walls of nearby houses, as if they were waiting for them to go to the village one day. wear.
They want to eliminate themselves to free up resources for the survivors of the village. Xu Cheng felt very strange, but she didn't know what to say.
Once Kojima Yoko reaches the age of 60, will he consciously destroy himself to make room for others? Xu Cheng was thinking silently.
"Are you seeing them off?" Xu Cheng asked Huaizang.
"We send the whole world off," Huai Zang said.
"The world after death is no big deal, people line up to be resurrected." Xu Cheng said. There are still about 4 billion people in line now.
"Be merciful. That's the best." Huai Zang said.
He packed a lot of food in the food box, which was made by the villagers out of gratitude, and used to entertain the messengers from afar.
Now that the goods had been unloaded, the purchase was successfully completed. Huai Zang put all the food boxes on the back of the nuclear-powered tricycle, and invited Xu Cheng and Pao Pao to leave the village and go back to the airport.
"Bye bye..." Xu Cheng climbed into the car and waved goodbye to the people in Budan Village.
They also came to see them off, and among the crowd were young farmers, craftsmen, women mending clothes, women with babies, children, ordinary villagers, villagers with a little respectability, villagers who vaguely came from big cities, joined the Farming students, little girls... They spontaneously gathered at the entrance of the village and waved goodbye to Xu Cheng and the others.
"Bye-Bye!"
"Goodbye! Messenger!"
"Come again next time!"
"Go slowly!"
"See you tomorrow!"
"Bon voyage!" They waved their hands, looking forward to what the messenger would bring to the village next time.
Xu Cheng sat on the back seat of the tricycle, waved to the villagers together with Pao Pao, until Huai Zang drove the car across the corner of the mountain road, and then he disappeared.
But after leaving the village for a while, Xu Cheng could hear the sound of drums and the vibrato of the reed flute coming from the direction of the village. I don’t know who was playing melodiously. He bid farewell to the messengers who struggled through the dangerous area and expressed their gratitude to the villagers.
Xu Cheng closed her eyes, and her thoughts seemed to change with the sound of the flute and the drum, humming slowly to the beat.
As the whistle sounded far away, she smelled the fragrance of grass and trees and the cool air of the mountains. The night gradually came, and the stars above their heads surrounded them, as if they could not escape the shining of the stars.
Huaizang drove the car back to the airport and distributed the food brought by the villagers to everyone on the shuttle.
"The people in the village of Boudin prepared these carefully." Huai Zang opened the food box among them.
"There's something to eat... woo..." Sha Hua, covered in snow, squatted on the ground and stared at the food box in despair.
"Yo ho! There are free dinners in the world!" Lianhua pressed Shahua's shoulders with both hands, and she was almost riding on her sister's head.
The first food box contains buckwheat pancakes, yak butter, buttered tea, dried yak meat, and rice porridge with butter.
The second food box contains rice noodles in broth, dumplings, sausages, pickled radishes and salty milk tea.
The third food box contained fried wild edible mushrooms, mutton crisps, millet beer, plums, almonds, some kind of fresh stir-fried vegetable root and berries, and grain amaranth noodles.
"Merciful, junior brother will bring the instructions of the new Buddha tomorrow. If it goes well, I will take you up the mountain. It's dark today, so let's make do here." Huai Zang parked his tricycle beside the airport runway and locked it.
"Are we the only ones who will come to Daxue Mountain?" Xu Cheng raised his head and asked.
"You are the first batch of messengers in 3 months. Because the world is folded, other people seldom come here for transit. Only the unique route from Jialongpo to Taixizhou will come to Boudin. Other westbound routes can bypass Xinzan Gus, Nineveh, Honolulu, Chiba City and other places." Huaizang said.
"The snow mountain is awesome." Pao Pao looked around, as if he was looking for a good place to see the scenery.
"This place survived the catastrophe, it is a sacred land." Huai Zang said.
"... Who were you before you became a monk?" Xu Cheng was curious.
Conceive thoughtfully.
"The poor monk used to be the producer of a two-dimensional mobile game, dedicated to bringing the fantasy world and beautiful girls to people." He said, "But after the catastrophe came, the poor monk's tiny happiness was replaced by endless pain and suffering. Torn apart by the catastrophe. In the face of the great suffering encountered by the whole world, the poor monk found that his pursuit of the beauty of the second dimension was not only shameful, but also sad. Therefore, the poor monk converted to Buddhism, only willing to break, break, break... "
"Really?" Xu Cheng couldn't believe it.
Huai Zang took out a poster from under the monk's robe, on which was a 16-year-old middle school girl in school uniform.
With his mechanical fingertips, he pointed at the position between the girl's knee-high white socks and short skirt: "Do you know the absolute domain?"
"I don't know." Xu Cheng shook his head.
"Merciful, who am I going to return to?" Huai Zang lamented, he hid the poster in his monk's robe, sat on the side of the shuttle, chanted sutras and meditated, and stopped talking.
After eating and drinking, Sister Lianhua returned to the shuttle, lowered the seat to transform it into a camp bed, and then lay down on it to sleep soundly, getting used to the harsh living conditions.
Xu Cheng also wanted to sleep, but Pao Pao suddenly called Xu Cheng to go out to watch the stars.
"It's beautiful outside." Pao Pao said to Xu Cheng, and she blinked.
Xu Cheng was skeptical, and walked into the dark mountains outside the airport with Pao Pao.
They walked into the cold and lonely field, carefully distinguishing the slope of the land under their feet, so as not to fall.
The deformed moon ascended to the throne of the blue and dark night sky. Xu Cheng looked up at the sky and at the colorless black forest around him. He felt as if he and Bubble had disappeared into a secret world and could never be found again. way.
The village of Boudin. Xu Cheng recalled the small village where he delivered the goods before.
It itself is as permanent as the snow mountain itself. Xu Cheng looked in the direction of the Daxue Mountain. In the middle of the mountains, the mirror-like iceberg he had seen during the day was still special, like a diamond, like a crystal, reflecting the colorful moonlight, as if it had been dyed with the illusion of nine ghosts from the sky. Dreamlike.
"Quack." Xu Cheng thought it was too dark.
"The best view is at night." Bubble promised, "Trust me."
The rustling of their little shoes on the snow and mud sounded extraordinarily loud, as if they had entered a world of peace, sanctity, and stillness.
Xu Cheng felt like she was walking in a dream, and the tranquility penetrated into her bones, washing away her tension and fear. This kind of fear has always been there since the catastrophe, and until now, its threat has gradually faded in the soothing of nature.
It is very quiet, only the chirping of birds that come out at night can be heard, and the stream is gurgling and rushing against the rocks.
She took Xu Cheng to sit on the hillside at the edge of the forest, several kilometers away from the airport runway, the village and the monastery.
"Come." Pao Pao sat with Xu Cheng. This is the place with the widest view, and the scenery is better than other places Xu Cheng has been to during the day.
The snow-capped peaks shone brilliantly beneath the sea of stars, and the sky was so low that it seemed as if the stars were about to crash onto the planet, and the constellations shone like frozen fireflies, almost ignited from within by some kind of celestial fire. .
"Isn't it pretty?" Bubble smiled and turned to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng looked around, but it was empty.
"I didn't see anything," she said.
Pao Pao looked at Xu Cheng, squeezed Xu Cheng's fingers, and looked at Xu Cheng's face tenderly.
"I saw everything." She looked at Xu Cheng, her eyes were full of Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng didn't understand what Bubble meant. She opened her mouth and turned her head.
Inspired by Bubbles, she focuses more on interacting with the world around her, and wants to see more and more things.
Xu Cheng closed her eyes, she was very inspired, at this moment, she seemed to be able to hear the breath of the mountains, an ancient, sleeping soul rising and falling here, long before humans carved their imprints on the stones here, it has occupied This land exudes an air of mystery and eternity. Some beauty cannot be possessed, but can only be temporarily borrowed by the human eye to give the mortal soul a glimpse of immortality.
"How is it?" Pao Pao said to Xu Cheng.
"Ah Gua, Ah Gua." A thought like a spark or meteor flashed in Xu Cheng's mind. She suddenly had a conjecture that she wanted to confirm.
"What, what's wrong?" Pao Pao was at a loss, she regretted what she said to Xu Cheng.
"Porphyrin!" Xu Cheng knelt down and tapped the ground with his hands, "Come out!"
"What? What's coming out? What are you doing?" Pao Pao was frightened by Xu Cheng's actions.
"Giant God!" Xu Cheng bouncing around, she pointed to the distant ice and snow mountains, that weird, crystal-like mountain was even more eye-catching at this time. oops! This is another brother who fell from Yanduo, just fell into the snowy mountain and slept peacefully until today! It is also its power that prevents Daxueshan from being covered by fog, making it a huge safe zone!
She has no way to start the machine to check now, so she can only wait for tomorrow. Thinking that he might find a brother of Yanduo and wake it up from the snow mountain, Xu Cheng was very happy, and hurriedly took Pao Pao's hand back to the shuttle to rest.
"Cuckoo..." Xu Cheng lay on the army green bed sheet and fell asleep soundly. Bubble helped Xu Cheng cover the quilt, tuck the corners of the quilt, set the hot milk for tomorrow morning with a timer heater, and quietly cleaned the shuttle before going to bed.
The next day, Xu Cheng woke up and found that the milk itself was warm. She was very happy. There was still a lot of sensible milk in the world. While she was drinking, she saw Ming Gao, the junior monk of the monk Huaizang, coming down the mountain.
Huai Zang explained a few words to Ming Gao, they used a data cable to exchange information, and soon Huai Zang walked over.
"Can we enter the monastery?" Xu Cheng asked.
"No, the new Buddha said that your fate is not here." Huai Zang said.
"Quack." Xu Cheng was not happy.
"Be merciful, but the new Buddha gave us other orders. It seems that you are going to Taixi Continent? It is already full of vampires and their servants." Huaizang said solemnly.
"En!" Xu Cheng nodded. The package must be delivered to Qianmeng. But Taixizhou is the home of vampires, which is very troublesome. It is said that they are super powerful.
"In that case, you must first learn the combat technique called 'breathing technique' and release sunlight ripples before you can defeat the vampire." Huaizang nodded, "We are willing to teach you such a technique!"
