What Chen Xiaoqiu said is not unreasonable.

Rather than letting others discover my abilities, talking to the people of Aoba is the best way to do so far.

I contacted Wu Ling and made an appointment to meet her in the evening.

The meeting place was, of course, at the hotel where they were staying.

The thin man didn't come along.

According to Chen Xiaoqiu's thinking, this is not a "negotiation", but a "communication". When everyone is there, the atmosphere is not right.

After I got off work, when I arrived at the hotel, Wu Ling and the others had already ordered room service and brought dinner.

Gu Mo played the game at a critical moment, and he didn't even have the kung fu to turn his head, so he directly said "ahh

Looking at this Gu Mo's energy to play games without blinking, it really makes people feel a little scary.

Wu Ling and Nangong Yao looked surprised, handed me a set of tableware, and beckoned me to sit down to eat.

The dishes on the table had not been touched, and they were still hot, and they had calculated the time accurately, and it seemed that they were waiting for me to come.

"You said you read the file yesterday and had a dream?" Wu Ling asked.

I tried to relax as much as I could, and while eating, I told me about the file and the dream.

The incident of "High Monk Falling into a Dream" occurred before Gu Mo's disappearance, and all the members of Aoba were there. I don't need to go into detail about the whole incident. Just mentioning the name of the file, Wu Ling and Nangong Yao remembered it.

Talking about dreams, they also know very well the origin and purpose of those ghosts.

Wu Ling's expression had always been thoughtful, and Nangong Yao was calmer.

"The monk you are talking about may be a virtual Buddha." Wu Ling said suddenly.

"Void Buddha?" I didn't understand the name for a while. It doesn't sound like a common legal name, either.

"Hmm. He was a monk who had been famous for a long time and vowed to become a Buddha. It's just that the method of Buddhahood he pursued was somewhat different. The kind of situation you see, that's what he's capable of. Wu Ling said, "He has several abilities, but they are not the same as those of us. ”

Wu Ling said, pointing to himself, "My birth is different, and I belong to the ability created by man. Director Chen and Miss Chen were also born different, but they were not artificially created, but born naturally. You also have a birth that is not quite the same as ordinary people, but this birth is the result of evil deeds in previous lives. The Void Buddha completely relied on his own willpower and possessed strength beyond ordinary people. ”

I was stunned.

What I didn't expect was that the monk turned out to be a well-known guy.

On the one hand, he is not afraid of destroying Buddhist cultural relics, and often helps those cultural relics dealers to identify the authenticity, analyze the situation, and make profits from it. He never touched the artifacts with aura and thoughts. But that's not because he's afraid that things will attack him, or that his conscience will find out. It's that he can absorb the power of those artifacts. That's exactly what I saw in my dreams. This is another aspect of the Void Buddha's fame. He had dealings with antiquities dealers in order to get in touch with as many antiquities as possible.

"After absorption, strengthen yourself?" I asked.

Wu Ling nodded and shook his head, "You can say that, or you can say no." He didn't want to become stronger, he wanted to become a Buddha. The history of the religions, and the versions that survive today, are similar to myths, legends, and historical events. There is an opinion in our circles. Gods and Buddhas may have existed, and there may really be heaven and hell and Western bliss. It may be a unique kind of alien dimension, carved out by the first person with that kind of great power, and welcoming the latecomers who meet the conditions to be able to enter that alien dimension. No one can prove this, it's just a conjecture. Another way of thinking that coexists with this conjecture is that there are no gods or Buddhas. The limits of what religion can create are the limits of the human mind. Spells can kill ghosts and confuse people, which is the usual effect of this kind of thought, and furthermore, the so-called limit may be the spirit. ”

I came back to my senses a little, and continued to listen to Wu Ling while eating.

Gu Mo finished the last game, walked over with a refreshed face, and sat down at the table.

"Oops, today's dish has been renewed." As he spoke, he picked up the chopsticks, and seemed uninterested in what Wu Ling said.

I don't know if he's really engrossed in the game, or if he's paying attention to the conversation on our side.

Nangong Yao was silent and ate the food by himself.

Wu Ling continued: "The Void Buddha believes in the former, he vows to become a Buddha, and chooses to absorb the thoughts and souls remaining on those cultural relics. I haven't met him, but I've heard that his abilities are very strong, and he doesn't blindly absorb those powers, but also makes a screening. After all, not all the remnants of those artifacts were good, and not every remaining soul was like-minded with him. ”

"What about the doorbell?" I asked.

This can explain what happened in the grotto, but the doorbell can't have that kind of residual Buddhist thoughts, right?

"Probably just a medium. I've only heard about him, and I don't know much about him. Perhaps, he could do other spells. Wu Ling took a sip of his drink and rubbed the cup for a while, "I heard rumors about him when I was in the Wu family. My grandfather told me about this and said that he had lived for more than 100 years. ”

My outstretched chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

Gu Mo was surprised: "Doesn't that have to be one hundred or forty years old?" It's no different from a physical Buddha, right? ”

"Maybe it's older." Wu Ling put down the cup, "When the Wu family heard about the Void Buddha, it was their great-grandfather's generation. At that time, it was rumored that he had become a Buddha. It's just that Western Bliss doesn't exist, so he can only stay in the world. Meaningless to live and unable to die. ”

I moved my chopsticks again, and I always felt that what Wu Ling said did not match the monk I saw.

"Later, he collapsed in despair and sat down." Wu Ling said again.

Gu Mo said "Hey, hey, hey" twice, his eyes widened, "If it's really dead, this kid won't be the one he saw, right?" ”

I want to "hey, hey, hey" too.

"Not necessarily. I heard about this from my grandfather. His situation, you should be clear. Wu Ling looked at me.

It dawned on me.

The old man of the Wu family doesn't seem to be very reliable, and he doesn't know much about supernatural things. It is not surprising that he wants to spread falsehood.

"Originally, this person had nothing to do with us, but I listened to him casually when I was a child, and I didn't inquire about the situation of the Void Buddha. Well, I'll ask someone later. If the Void Buddha really lives to the present, or another Void Buddha emerges, then someone must know. His fate was changed, and someone else would find out. There is a big problem with such a celebrity, and there must be someone in the circle who can't sit still. Wu Ling finally turned into a self-talk, "If you want to inquire......"

She seemed to be thinking about how to find out the news of the Void Buddha.

Just as Chen Xiaoqiu was worried, rashly inquiring about the Void Buddha might backfire and attract evil wolves. We don't know how to do it, but Wu Ling must be measured. There are still Liu Miao and Ye Qing in the Aoba Spiritual Office who have not been rescued, and they will not put me in danger.

As I ate the food, I noticed the expressions on the faces of the three of them.

Wu Ling clarified his thoughts, his eyes were focused, and he looked at me.

"You said that in the dream, Shao Xiu and the Void Buddha both decomposed?"

"Yes." I thought to myself, this is to the point.

Wu Ling didn't attribute the decomposition of the two to the special circumstances of the Green Tea House and the ability of the Void Buddha, which seemed to be a good start.

I stared at Wu Ling, wondering what she would say next.

Sorry, there are only two shifts today. _(:3」∠)_

Good night everyone~
