Chapter 79: The Red Mist Is Like Blood, The Mountains Are Crazy
On the seventh day after Abbot Kongkong retreated, Wu Sheng got up early in the morning and found that the mist in the temple in front of him was actually a light red color, and there was a very special smell in it. If he smelled it carefully, it looked like the smell of blood.
How is this going?
He hurriedly left the temple and went to the surrounding mountains and forests. He found that the fog around him was also the same, with a light blood red color. He used his method to look at the mountains in the distance and found that the fog on the top of the mountains in the distance was white. The closer he got, the white.
The blood red color of Lanruo Temple became more and more intense, and even if there was sunshine in the sky, the mist did not dissipate at all.
When I returned home, I found Brother Wunui who was chanting sutras. I felt a little relieved after learning that the abbot was in the same situation in the past when he was in retreat. When I asked him why he was like this, he just shook his head and didn't know. Wusheng found Monk Kong and asked him about it.
, he also shook his head.
More than an hour after the red mist appeared, Wu Sheng suddenly felt that his energy and blood were boiling fiercely, and he felt inexplicably irritated. With a little stimulation of his magic power, this feeling immediately disappeared.
"Why is this? Is it because of the red mist?"
After he stood in the yard for more than an hour, sure enough, that irritating feeling came over him again. This time, the magic power in his body started to work on its own, and the irritating feeling was soon dissipated.
Sure enough, it has something to do with the red mist.
Could it be that the red mist is poisonous?
"No life, no worries." The empty monk in the main hall shouted towards the courtyard and called the two of them into the main hall.
"The red mist has arisen, and the wild beasts outside the temple will soon become restless. The two of you will go to the forest more often in the past few days. Don't let those wild beasts get close to Lanruo Temple."
"I understand, Master."
"Yes, uncle."
"Also, try not to kill unless absolutely necessary." Kong Kong warned again.
"yes."
After coming out of the main hall, Wu Sheng discovered that some of the leaves of the originally green Bodhi tree in the yard had begun to turn yellow, while the several Ginkgo trees in the backyard that had golden leaves that had not yet fallen off a few days ago, at this time
But the leaves are falling one after another, like falling rain.
This red mist is really poisonous!
Wu Sheng and Wu Nu went to the forest outside the temple and separated. Lanruo Temple occupies a very large area. Over the years, there have been few monks and not many pilgrims going up the mountain. The trees outside the temple are unmanaged. Naturally, it is
The longer it grows, the more lush it becomes. When two people look at such a large forest, it is inevitable that some fish will slip through the net.
Wu Sheng braced himself up, mobilized his magic power, looked at the six directions with his eyes, and listened to all directions.
The forest was very quiet, shrouded in red mist, and the grass withered to the ground. Wu Sheng waited for about two hours, but no animals or beasts approached Lanruo Temple. After thinking about it, he decided to take the initiative and walked deep into the forest. It was not far away.
Hearing a whispering sound, he looked down and saw several rabbits with red eyes. They didn't run away after finding Wu Sheng. They were stunned and ran directly towards him.
"Well, what's going on?"
After a rabbit came close, it jumped up suddenly, opened its three-petal mouth and was about to hit it, but was slapped by Wu Sheng and fell to the ground.
Rabbit bites people, are you worried?!
The other two also jumped up, Wu Sheng grabbed them with his hands, and then threw them out. They flew a hundred feet away and fell into the woods, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
He reached out and picked up the one on the ground, shook it vigorously, and woke it up. The rabbit had just woken up, and when he opened his eyes and saw Wu Sheng, he opened his mouth to try. There was a crisp sound, and the two white front teeth were broken.
The lifeless palms were covered with a faint brilliance. The rabbit's mouth was bloody, and it kept biting it, as if it didn't know the pain. But after a moment, a burst of red heat evaporated from the rabbit's body and floated into the air.
Then the rabbit stopped biting and looked at Wu Sheng with a pair of confused eyes.
"Be good." Wu Sheng touched its head and refused to let it go. He put away his magic power and held it in his hand.
After about less than a cup of tea, the rabbit started to go crazy and started biting his fingers. As usual, Wu Sheng used magic to expel it, this time in a shorter time than the last time.
Wu Sheng then repeated the test several times, and soon the rabbit in his hand was dying. After the test, he was able to determine that the mist would make the beasts in the forest become manic, lose their minds, and become bloodthirsty and crazy. Moreover, under the red mist,
The longer it stays, the more serious this negative state becomes. At the same time, this red mist will have a relatively strong destructive effect on the bodies of these beasts. This rabbit will not survive long even if it regains consciousness.
When will this fog dissipate? Wu Sheng thought as he looked at the red fog on the mountain.
He patrolled back and forth in the mist, and all the beasts he saw were thrown away.
After the eighth day, the red mist became more intense, especially around Lanruo Temple.
In front of the main hall, a raging flame was lit. The flames could evaporate the red mist, and the fire would make a strange sound when it encountered the mist. This was also the purpose of the pile of firewood that Wunu had prepared a few days ago.
The senior brother patrolled the mountains and forests outside the temple, and Monk Kong was adding firewood to the temple.
The fire was burning very brightly.
The day passes and the night falls.
"Junior brother, you go back to the temple and take a rest. I'll watch from outside." Wu Nu came to Wu Sheng's side and said.
During this day, the two brothers and sisters were in the mountains and forests outside the temple, without eating or drinking.
"It's okay, I can still hold on." Wu Sheng said.
"I don't know how long this red mist will last, so why don't we take turns and take a break?" Wu Nu said.
"That's okay. Senior brother, please go back to the temple first. I'll keep an eye on you from outside," Wu Sheng said.
"Okay, be careful and yell if something happens." After explaining, Wu Chu returned to the temple.
About an hour later, he came out again.
"You go back and take a rest, I'll keep an eye on you."
Wu Sheng returned to the temple and found that the meal had been prepared, and the master was still chanting sutras in the main hall. In front of the main hall, there was a blazing fire. He went back to the kitchen to eat something and then left the temple again.
After nightfall, the number of wild beasts in the forest increased significantly compared to last night. There were mountain wolves that ate meat, rabbits that ate grass, goats, and snakes that wandered around. The mountains and forests were lush. When these wild beasts encountered each other, they started to fight.
Wu Sheng saw with his own eyes that a goat took the initiative to attack a wolf, not with its horns, but with its mouth. The courage was commendable, but the result was tragic. It was also crazy. The sheep were naturally not as crazy as the wolves. They were originally a group.
The mountain wolves also fought and bit each other, their skins were torn and their flesh was torn, and their blood was flowing. In this red mist, they were no longer close companions, but enemies.
But in one night, there were many dead beasts in the woods, filled with a strong smell of blood, and the red mist seemed to be thicker.
Wu Sheng squatted on the ground and looked at the carcass of a goat. Its neck had been bitten off, its belly had been torn open, and its internal organs had flowed out. The blood had not yet dried up. Upon closer inspection, the blood that had flowed out was steaming upwards.
The blood-colored mist blended into the surrounding red mist.
