Did it just fly out of my sea of knowledge because it saw that my physical body was about to die and automatically came out to protect me? I have a bold guess again.
Sure enough, after seeing the soul of big cousin disappear into the shrunken version of the blood sea, that shrunken version of the blood sea "whoosh..." flew back to me in an instant, like a child who had just eaten candy, spinning around my body.
I really have no interest in the smell of the shrunken version of the blood sea.
"If it weren't for the fact that I uncontrollably absorbed the entire blood sea, I wouldn't want this thing, even if it's powerful, I still wouldn't want it, hmph!" I said to myself in a very arrogant manner.
"Cough cough... If Grudge-bearing woman knew what I was thinking right now, she would definitely cough harshly and then angrily roar, 'You little jerk, stop pretending to be innocent. If you don't want it, just tell me. I have plenty of ways to strip it away from you.'
Cough cough... I've gone off topic..."
However, I didn't foolishly express these inner thoughts. After all, blood sea saved my life, so I had to endure the discomfort and gently touched the miniature blood sea to show comfort.
Unexpectedly, the miniature blood sea seemed ungrateful and suddenly, as if angry, sucked me into the miniature blood sea, making me face the cold, slippery blood water and mantis shrimp again. This made my heart sink. Could it be that I was being counter-attacked by blood sea? It can't be true. Is it so tragic that I just escaped the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf's den again?
However, it doesn't seem like a backlash. I just feel a little numb on my scalp right now, and there's no particular discomfort. If there is any discomfort, it's just because of excessive blood loss, causing dizziness. What exactly does this miniature version of the blood sea want to do?
No, it can't be called a miniature version of the blood sea now. It has regained its vast scale in my eyes, and being in it makes me feel as tiny as a grain of sand in the boundless sea.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
At the bottom of the blood sea, it seemed to be boiling, violently emitting a series of bubbles, instantly exploding as if I only felt a burst of red light in front of me. The temperature in the blood sea also became colder and colder, making me feel numb. If it weren't for a force in the water supporting me, I might have had to lie down in the blood sea and take a few sips of blood.
This eerie phenomenon has made my heart even more unsettled, and I'm so nervous that my heart feels like it's about to jump out of my chest.
By the way, didn't big cousin stab my heart with a hair, why can't I feel the pain now? Could it be because of the blood sea?
What makes me even more nervous is that this situation didn't last long. Suddenly, the blood sea in front of me changed. I saw a huge water column forming around me, and then it rose directly into the air, revealing the underwater world of the blood sea.
The seabed of this blood sea did not reveal rocks like it did when I first drained it, but instead I saw a lonely temple appearing in front of me. Before I could see clearly what kind of temple it was, the scenery suddenly changed, and I found myself on a bustling street, and I overheard passersby saying that this was City S.
City S is a place my friends and I have visited many times. We are quite familiar with the streets of City S. It is the capital of our province. It doesn't make sense for a rural dirt road to appear here. Even in the villages on the outskirts of the city, the roads are paved with asphalt. But now, the road I'm walking on is like a yellow sand-covered dirt road.
It doesn't seem like this is a remote rural area near City S. In front of me are newly built buildings. What makes me feel scared is that my feet are not obeying my commands and are heading straight towards a bridge. The bridge doesn't seem scary on the surface, just a regular overpass, but it also doesn't have asphalt pavement.
I couldn't control my body, so I could only carefully observe the surrounding environment to see if there was any danger. Unexpectedly, at a glance, I was shocked and my face turned pale again. Each of these people was hurriedly walking forward with incense and paper money, as if they were going to sacrifice to their ancestors.
I cautiously asked a couple walking beside me, "Excuse me, what place in City S is this, and where are you all going? Are you heading to a cemetery ahead?"
The woman glanced at me, looking quite frightened, and quickly hid behind the man with a "whoosh." The man didn't hide, but he seemed wary and said, "Sorry, we're not locals and we don't know where this place is. When we passed by, we saw many people buying yellow paper to worship their ancestors. My wife and I also bought some paper money and wanted to follow them to pay our respects."
"Oh, I see. Can I be so bold as to ask if you two have any objections, or do you find me very scary? Your expressions seem a bit off when looking at me," I said, feeling uncomfortable with the way this couple was eyeing me like I was a thief, but I asked politely.
"Yes, sorry, we don't have it. Wife, let's go, catch up with those people ahead." I didn't expect that as soon as I finished speaking, the couple seemed to be scared and ran away.
This left me speechless. It's a pity that I don't have a small mirror now. Otherwise, I really want to see what I look like now, scaring a honest couple like that.
I am really so scary, so logically, when this couple first saw me, they should have been scared away, which is the most puzzling part for me.
I really don't understand the consequences of this couple's actions, so I asked several people who were also chasing me from behind. They all looked at me with the same guarded expression. Some casually replied a few words, and some completely ignored me, as if avoiding a plague, so after asking many people, I still didn't find out where City S is, which is the most frustrating part for me.
Fortunately, as I walked towards under the bridge, I was able to control my feet, but I didn't turn back because I saw that many cars were passing on the road under under the bridge, which was also covered with yellow sand.
I reached into my pocket to check if I had any money. I thought to myself that if things didn't work out, I could take a taxi to a place I'm familiar with, like City S. Unfortunately, when I checked my pocket, I was dumbfounded. There was only a little over a hundred yuan in my pocket. It seemed quite remote here, and if I were to go to a place I'm familiar with, perhaps even a hundred yuan wouldn't be enough. The starting fare in City S now is 8 yuan, and if the car stops at a red light for more than three minutes, it seems that it costs an additional yuan. So I estimated that my money wouldn't be enough.
Alas, it would be great if there was a bus. Sighing, I have already walked to under the bridge, planning to see if there is a bus transport station. If there isn't, I'll take a taxi and go wherever I can with the money I have in my pocket. After calculating my money again, I made a decision.
Oh! There's always a way out. Not far ahead, there are six or seven people seemingly waiting for a bus. Upon closer inspection, there is indeed a bus transport sign there. Feeling delighted, I immediately ran towards the bus transport sign.
I had just arrived there when I heard someone shout, "The 104 bus is coming..." Sure enough, not far away, I saw a green bus slowly approaching the small station. I quietly took out two dollars from my pocket to prepare to board the bus. It didn't matter where the bus was going, as long as I could get on. The driver on the bus would definitely know how to get back to the city.
Just as I had just withdrawn two dollars, the bus also stopped. I quickly took a few steps, planning to squeeze onto the bus. Unfortunately, as soon as I lifted my foot, a large group of people suddenly appeared from nowhere, about forty or fifty people, all seemingly students, swarmed onto the bus, pushing me to the back. It's unstoppable, students are really energetic.
In an instant, the bus was full and no one else could squeeze on. Including me, there were still five or six people left behind. The bus driver was not like the bus drivers I usually encounter in X City. He didn't ask the people at the front door to move back, or tell us who didn't get on to put coins in the front and board from the back. The driver was blocked by those students. I didn't see his expression, but I only knew that as soon as the bus was full, the doors closed and it left us in the dust.
Watching the bus transport gradually disappear, I could only sigh and wait for the next bus transport or a taxi. However, after waiting for a long time, no other vehicle came. It seemed like the bus I saw on the bridge was just an illusion. It seems that only the 104 bus comes here, and the five or six people waiting for the bus did not increase. These people did not seem to be in a hurry, all silently staring at the people walking on the street with paper in their hands.
The more I looked at this scene, the more frightened I became. Similarly silent and afraid to speak, I moved away from the bus stop. I planned to go and see where those people were going with their incense and paper money to worship, while also observing the surrounding environment.
I didn't walk far when I turned around and immediately saw a temple that I had never seen before arriving at this unfamiliar Space. I saw people holding incense, candles, and paper money walking into that unknown temple one after another. What was strange was that no one who entered the temple came out. To confirm this fact, I watched for a long time and still didn't see anyone come out.
The unknown temple, from the outside, is actually quite small, only about the size of two 20-square-meter rooms. It looks somewhat like a local earth god temple. Um! When I describe it this way, I mean the kind I've seen on TV. I haven't seen a real earth god temple, I've only been to the City God Temple.
Looking around, feeling somewhat numb, and seeing the strange five or six people still waiting for the bus, I decided to go into the temple to take a look. Um! Actually, I went to pay respects to the gods and seek their blessings.
Moreover, I was brought here by the blood sea, so there must be a reason for it. Even if it's extremely dangerous inside, I've accepted it. Otherwise, I might be trapped here for the rest of my life. After realizing this, I took a step and walked into this seemingly small temple.
I originally thought that after entering the temple, it would be like what some books describe, a hidden paradise. But in reality, it's not like that at all. The size inside matches the size outside. What surprised me even more is that this is actually a temple, where the main hall enshrines Buddha. And this small temple has a back door. I saw that these people didn't worship the Buddha at all, but instead went straight through the back door and disappeared after turning a corner.
I thought to myself, maybe the place they want to worship is back there, and this is a shortcut. But I don't need to worship anyone. I'll just pay my respects to the Buddha and Bodhisattva and ask for guidance.
Kneeling respectfully, I kowtowed three times and knocked my head nine times, muttering, "May Buddha bless me and help me leave this haunted place as soon as possible."
After my sincere prayer, I slowly stood up, intending to ask the abbot in this temple what kind of place this was. When I entered, I saw a meditation room next to the Buddha statue. Through the window of the meditation room, I could see a monk wearing golden robes and covered in golden paint meditating.
I didn't expect that as soon as I walked up to the window and before I could ask the monk, he stood up first and aggressively said to me, "The ticket is fifty per person, hurry up and pay."
