Chapter 152: Amitabha Buddha, touching his head for a monthly pass]
Gawa hesitated for less than a second before being pulled down by the rope around her waist.
The instructor had planned to ask everyone to untie the rope, but before he could tell it, the rope saved Gawa in the burial pit, so he simply never mentioned it again. Anyway, the remaining amount between them was enough, which did not affect their activities, but instead felt an inexplicable sense of security.
After Gawa fell, the instructor and Li Kuiyong also jumped down one after another.
During the fall, Li Kuiyong kept collecting the rope. When he fell into the water, he finally grabbed Gawa's arm. Before he could slap his body, he raised his head out of the water.
The Dapu ghost insect seemed to know the power of the lake. It only wandered two or three meters away from the lake surface, and did not dare to rush down to attack, making the lake surface crystal clear, like a illusion.
The remaining three people rushed to the water one after another, revealing their heads to breathe.
The custom of Tibet is not allowed to go to the lake to take a bath and swim. Although Gawa was forced, he still felt guilty. He held Li Kuiyong's arm and recited scriptures in a nagging manner, begging the Buddha to forgive his sins.
The five people gathered together. It was early spring and the plateau was still cold. But I felt that the groundwater was not cold, but I felt a slight warmth on my body. I guess it was a warm water lake formed by geothermal heat.
Li Kuiyong reminded:
"Everyone lowers your head and be careful of the bugs rushing down!"
After reading the scriptures, Ga Wa was grinning with a big mouth. Soon his smile froze, because thousands of fireballs shining with blue light were gradually gathering, forming a huge blue flame, and rushed down with a shout!
Hu Bayi scolded:
"Li Kuiyong, you really are a crow's mouth when you step on the horse!"
Everyone quickly got back into the lake water. Li Kuiyong took a breath and was about to go down. When he saw Gawa next to him, he was shocked. He was born to be afraid of the lake water. He was passive just now, and now he didn't dare to dive any more. Li Kuiyong had to force his head into the water and dragged his arms to swim deeper.
The diameter of the large fireball reached dozens of meters. As soon as it touched the lake, it would make water vapor evaporate. However, although the fireball was large and the lake water was wider, the suicide attack method of the suicide squad could not work, and the Dapu ghost insects drowned in the water one after another.
The bottom of the lake was originally dark, and at this time, it was reflected by the firelight above, so you could barely see the environment more than ten meters under the water. There were countless big fish swimming slowly in the depths of the water. The beards were extremely long, which looked like salmon. Because they lived in a dark environment, their eyes had deteriorated and only two white dots were left.
Gawa was kicking his hands and feet, and he couldn't stop his breath anymore. He wanted to struggle to slap up and breathe, but the bottom of the lake suddenly darkened. Li Kuiyong guessed that the insects were almost dead, so he pulled Gawa to swim onto the lake.
There was a layer of ladybug corpses floating on the lake. Without the light of fire, there was a dark area everywhere. Li Kuiyong took out a flashlight and could still shine. Everyone gathered in the light.
There must be more Dapu ghost bugs, but they did not launch a second pursuit, perhaps thinking that the previous one was enough to destroy the enemy.
After all, this is just a bug!
Everyone pulled each other and climbed up the shore. They felt tired and hungry, and they no longer had the energy to move. They hadn't eaten for more than ten hours, let alone Luo Ning, Li Kuiyong couldn't bear it.
He untied the rope, grabbed Gawa's waist and jumped into the lake, stabbing two big fish back.
He was scraping the fish scales and said casually:
"Everyone goes and see. Since this place has been built with wooden towers, there should be scattered wood. You should be able to eat some hot things now, which is better than anything else!"
The instructor nodded, and each person arranged a direction. Everyone scattered with flashlights. Not long after, Luo Ning screamed in surprise. Several people came over and carried over a dead tree that was more than one person thick and more than three meters long.
The wood was already very rotten. Gawa picked up the knife and slashed hard, and soon there was a pile of firewood.
When the bonfire was lit, everyone felt warm.
Li Kuiyong and Hu Baya picked up a big fish on a bayonet and roasted it, and the fragrance gradually spread.
Gawa hid in the dark with a bitter face, and Tibetans did not eat fish.
According to Li Kuiyong's plan, if you delay this for a while, you might be able to set out after the volcanic earthquake and walk along the underground river, and you don't have to worry that someone will fall into the cracks...
But if we don’t break through the ground, the road in this underground corridor should be very long. Gawa is so hungry. I wonder if he can hold on?
Then he handed the bayonet to the instructor, and hugged Gawa's shoulder and asked in a low voice:
"Gawa, if you entered the water today, will the Buddha blame him?"
Gawa's face was full of guilt and said sadly:
“Yes.”
Li Kuiyong said:
"Gawa, you jumped into the water to save your life. The Buddha is compassionate and will not bear to watch you be burned to death by ghost insects. He will forgive you!"
Gawa said uncertainly:
"Really?"
Li Kuiyong asked back:
"Then have you ever repented?"
Gawa looked devout:
"I read it, and when I was in the water, I read it."
Li Kuiyong said affirmatively:
"Then it's no problem. The Buddha will definitely forgive you. The key to this practice is in the heart, not in the form, do you know?"
Ga Wa pointed to the heart thoughtfully, and Li Kuiyong nodded.
"Gawa, since Buddha can't bear to be burned to death by the Dapu ghost insect, does he have the heart to make you starve to death?"
Gawa looked at the grilled fish in a tangled manner, swallowed and said:
"I may, maybe, can't starve to death."
Li Kuiyong said seriously:
"Gawa, let's walk along this underground river. No one knows when we can go out. Maybe there is only food in this lake. If you faint from hunger, I will have to carry you on my back. If you slip, you will be killed by you..."
Gawa shook his hand anxiously and said a lot of Tibetan words.
Li Kuiyong didn't understand, pretending to be very hurt and said in a sad way:
"Gawa, do you want to harm me?"
Gawa was even more panicked, and Li Kuiyong took advantage of the victory to pursue:
"Gawa, you should recite the scriptures first, and tell the Buddha that the fish that Gawa ate is the same as jumping into the lake just now, and the Buddha will understand!"
Gawa had no choice but to recite the scriptures with his eyes closed.
It was not until he finished reading that Li Kuiyong pulled him back to the bonfire.
The fish had been grilled and was cut into pieces by the instructor and distributed to everyone.
Li Kuiyong tasted it and the meat was very delicious and not very fishy. He stared at Gawa while chewing it, and looked like "If you don't eat fish, it's a harm to me."
Gawa had to stuff the fish into his mouth. Although he was full of fragrance, he almost vomited it out. He forced himself to chew it for a few times and swallowed it.
Under the supervision of Li Kuiyong, Ga Wa swallowed half of the fish like he was tortured, and knelt on the side with tears in his arms and went to recite scriptures.
The remaining one and a half were soon gone, but everyone was still unsatisfied, so Li Kuiyong swam into the lake and touched three baked pieces. The four of them were soaked in their mouths that even Luo Ning was overwhelmed!
Chapter completed!
