"What's going on?"

Huang Shaohong was a little confused. Didn't he always open a new world every month? "Discover a new world"? What's going on?

He communicated with the system in his mind, and the latter's answer to him was that the system opened a new world by consuming energy to actively search for the coordinates of the Small Thousand World.

In this Thousand Buddha Hall, the system has detected the new coordinates of the Small Thousand Worlds, so it can save energy and omit some unnecessary steps.

"Can the coordinates of the Small Thousand World be detected here? So this is where space and time are chaotic?"

Huang Shaohong's eyes moved and he sensed it carefully. No, that's not right. With his Supreme Mage's ability, if time and space are chaotic in the Thousand Buddha Hall, how could he not feel it?

However, everything about landing in the new world should be put aside for now. Huang Shaohong has other things to do.

He clearly remembered that before he left the "Liao Zhai World" last time, "Shifang" saw the Thousand Buddha Hall and was so happy that he went in to pay homage to the thousands of eminent monks and arhats worshiping in the hall.

After the 'Ten Directions', another scholar and his boy also entered the Thousand Buddha Hall.

Then there was another man who looked evil and not like a kind man, and followed the scholar and the boy into the Thousand Buddhas Hall.

Finally, there was a short, fat and kind monk who called himself "Unmoved" and entered the Thousand Buddha Hall.

That means that before he entered, there should be at least four people in the Thousand Buddha Hall.

But looking around now, apart from those Buddha statues, Huang Shaohong was alone in the entire temple.

He asked the system in his mind: "We'll talk about logging in later. Do you know where the people who entered these palaces went?"

But what he didn't expect was that the system suddenly went silent, and no matter how he called, there was no response.

Finally, in desperation, Huang Shaohong wanted to see if the system wanted to ignore him or for some other reason. He thought that logging into the world would lock in the time for his return, so he would not delay finding someone, so he said to the system in his heart:

"I want to log into the new world!"

But still no response!

"I'm going..."

Huang Shaohong called a few more times and finally determined that the system had lost contact. He called Po Tong a few times, but there was no response. The guy was probably still asleep.

Huang Shaohong raised his eyebrows. Is this a system failure? I have never encountered such a situation before!

He tried to contact both parties again, but there was still no response from the system. Huang Shaohong had to give up temporarily. He knew that it was useless to worry. At this time, he could only wait for the system to contact him, or wait for Po Tong to wake up from his slumber.

During this period of time, everything could only be done by himself. Fortunately, he had confidence. Now, even without the system and broken copper, he could still find ways to strengthen himself and find a path of his own.

Huang Shaohong did not leave the Thousand Buddhas Hall immediately, but started walking around in the hall. It looked like he was taking a tour, but in fact he was exploring the mysteries of the Thousand Buddhas Hall.

It doesn’t matter whether he goes to Xiaoqian World or not, but Shifang is one of our own, so we can’t just let him disappear and ignore it!

The Thousand Buddha Hall is said to enshrine thousands of Buddha statues, but this is not the case. There are not only Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, King Kongs, but also statues of some eminent monks and great virtues in this world.

It is said that these statues all have kind-faced and peaceful faces. When one is among these thousands of statues, coupled with the dim light, it will always give people a creepy feeling.

Huang Shaohong was a man of great skill and bold, without any fear in his heart. He glanced back and forth among the thousands of Buddha statues.

I remember seeing a crime story in modern time and space. It was said that after killing someone, it was made into a statue in a short period of time to deceive others and hide the crime.

Huang Shaohong was thinking in his heart, whether those people who came in before were...

Ahem...Of course he is just thinking wildly. Not to mention other people, Shifang is the civil judge under him, the City God. With the blessing of the divine power, how can the evil spirits dare to get close to him, let alone in a short time?

Time has been harmed by others, so let's turn it into a statue.

Huang Shaohong was looking around when suddenly someone patted him on the back from behind, and at the same time a somewhat familiar voice asked:

"Donor, what are you looking for?"

Huang Shaohong was really shocked. With his current strength, even if he couldn't use his true energy, he still had five senses that were stronger than the Golden Saint. How could someone silently walk up behind him and touch him?

Touched his body.

Doesn’t this mean that if someone uses a knife, it can now be inserted into his back!

He suddenly turned around and saw a short, fat and kind monk. He was the same short, fat monk who was among the few people who entered the Thousand Buddha Hall after Shifang entered the Thousand Buddha Hall before.

At this time, the smile on the short and fat monk's face did not change. He looked at the shocked Huang Shaohong and asked again:

"Donor, what are you looking for? The poor monk wants to see if he can help the benefactor!"

Huang Shaohong looked up and down the monk and found nothing wrong. He suddenly smiled and said, "Master, you scared me. Why didn't I see Master when I came in just now?"

He seemed relaxed on the surface, but in fact he was on guard inside, and even prepared to take action at any time. The monk in front of him was anything but simple!

The short and fat monk chuckled: "The poor monk just put some lamp oil behind the Buddha statue!"

As he spoke, he shook the thing in his hand, which was a delicate metal oil can. As he spoke, he turned and walked behind a Buddha statue, where a World War I oil lamp hung on the wall.

The monk added some oil to the oil lamp and fiddled with the wick. The light emitted by the oil lamp instantly became brighter.

While the pudgy monk was working on it, he said to Huang Shaohong without looking back: "The light in this hall is not good. There are only three lamps. If you add some lamp oil from time to time, it will become even darker!"

Huang Shaohong felt relieved when he saw that the monk did nothing else. Now after the monk said this, he realized that the light in the hall was indeed so bad. It was obviously because there were too few lamps.

Although there is still sunshine outside, the windows are closed and the hall is deep. Just relying on these three oil lamps still seems to be too dark.

Huang Shaohong said casually:

"Then add more lamps. Master, you can't solve the problem just by adding oil. No matter how much oil you add, there will be a limit to how much light you can illuminate!"

The fat-loving monk suddenly sighed: "One Buddha and one lamp. There are only so many Buddhas, so how can we add more lamps!"

"Master is joking, isn't this the Thousand Buddhas Hall?"

As he spoke, he walked behind the Buddha statues, and sure enough he saw an oil lamp on the wall behind each Buddha statue, but most of them were covered with dust and had no lamp oil or wick.

Huang Shaohong said with a smile: "Master, look, there are so many oil lamps, why don't you just add some oil to them? When thousands of lamps are lit together, this hall will be magnificent, why do you need to make it so spooky?"

The fat monk shook his head again: "There is lamp oil, but without a wick, what's the use? Thousands of lamps share the same light... It's been a long time since this poor monk has seen this!"

Huang Shaohong felt that the monk had something to say. Just when he was about to ask, he heard the monk say: "The donor was distracted just now and looked around blankly. But what could have been lost in this temple?"

"The poor monk is responsible for taking care of the Thousand Buddhas Hall. Donor, you might as well tell me what you are looking for. Maybe the poor monk can help the donor, who knows!"

Huang Shaohong originally wanted to ask what the other party was saying, if there was anything worthwhile, but when the other party said this, he thought that Shi Fang hadn't found it yet, and what he was concerned about other things, seemed to be a bit off topic.

He shook his head and smiled bitterly, then asked:

"I wonder, Master, when you came in just now, did you see a young monk? He is my friend. He has not been out since he came in just now, but now he can't be found here..."

"By the way, a scholar and his boy also entered the Thousand Buddha Hall after him, and a sinister-looking person also followed them!"

The short and fat monk shook his head: "The poor monk has seen too many people. Even if he sees them, he may not remember them..."

Huang Shaohong said with a smile: "But as soon as they came in, Master, you walked into the Thousand Buddha Hall. It took less than a stick of incense to move your front and back, how could you not have seen it, or even not remember it after you saw it!"

The short and fat monk suddenly rolled his eyelids: "The poor monk is old and has a bad brain, okay?"

This is where he starts to act rogue.

Just as Huang Shaohong was about to use some means to see what the monk had up his sleeve, he heard the short and fat monk laughing:

"Forget it, I'm just joking with you..."

Huang Shaohong thought he was going to tell the whereabouts of Shifang and others. Unexpectedly, the monk's voice changed and he talked about something else:

"Some people say that when people come to this world, they are looking for things. Some people are looking for people, some people are looking for things, and some people are looking for themselves..."

"But some people can find what they are looking for, but some people go in the wrong direction, running counter to the goal they are looking for, getting further and further away. No matter how hard they try, they are destined to never find what they are looking for in their lifetime.

Looking for something…”

Huang Shaohong found it funny at first, thinking that the monk was talking like a tongue twister, but after a closer look, he found that what the other person said seemed to make sense...

Suddenly Huang Shaohong shook his head and laughed, and then he came to his senses: "Master, I want to find someone, and you just say you don't know and that's it. What are you talking about about Buddhist philosophy and Zen!"

The monk also laughed: "It's an old problem, and some of it can't be changed. Let me show you these murals. Maybe you can find the answer in them!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Huang Shaohong's consent, he lifted up the oil lamp he had just refueled and shined it towards the mural on the wall.

Huang Shaohong remembered that the monk said that there were only three Buddhas and three lamps left. He subconsciously wanted to see which oil lamp behind the Buddha statue and Bodhisattva was.

I couldn't help but be startled when I saw it. The Buddha statue in front of the oil lamp was a statue of a boy with a green face and fangs.

There are seven buns on the top of the head, braided hair hangs down on the left shoulder, the left eye is closed, the lower teeth bite the upper lip, showing an angry look, carrying a raging fire on the back, holding a sharp sword in the right hand, although the face is fierce and angry, but there is a strange and solemn look.

Revealed.

Huang Shaohong's understanding of Buddhist things was limited. As for the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism, he only knew the few that appeared in Journey to the West.

He recognized Sakyamuni Buddha and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, as well as Maitreya Buddha, and Manjusri and Samantabhadra when they were standing together, but when presented separately, he couldn't tell who was who.

Such a novice in Buddhism would naturally not recognize the green-faced and fanged boy statue in front of him. He was looking closely at it, guessing which Buddhist master it was, when he suddenly saw the Buddha statue's narrowly closed left eye suddenly open, and then blinked at him twice.

, seems naughty and making fun of him.

"Eh...this..."

Huang Shaohong pointed at the Buddha statue and was about to speak when he heard the short and fat monk beside the wall say:

"Donor, come this way... no one will talk to you over there at the wooden and clay sculptures!"
