Chapter 127 Buddha Fire Roasting Spider
At 4 ., the sky cleared.
While the dense forest was still in a drowsy state, Pinggong Qianye left the cave and continued along his own path.
As for the skeleton in the cave, he simply dug a hole for the skeleton to rest in peace.
Otherwise, it was difficult for him to do anything.
If he had arrived at the cave earlier last night, the man would have a good chance of being rescued, but things can't always happen by coincidence.
As we walked through the dense forest, the white fog gradually increased, and it became so white that it was difficult to see the road ahead.
Pinggong Qianye could only focus on the road ahead and move forward slowly.
About an hour after leaving the cave, he came across another area covered with spider webs.
It was the crown of a camphor tree, where a thick spider web had formed a cocoon in the shape of a human.
Pinggong Qianye opened his diamond eyes and looked around, seeing the situation inside clearly through the outer layer of white cocoon.
It was a person, also a man, who had also been dead for not long, probably last night.
Man, spider, death, it seems that something is gradually becoming clear.
Pinggong Qianye used the Buddha fire in his palm to burn away all the spiders and spider webs. He struck the ground with his Zen stick, creating a pit so that the body would not be exposed in the wilderness.
After finishing these things, Pinggong Chiye continued on his journey.
During the two hours along the way, Pinggong Qianye encountered areas covered with spider webs three times. Each time, he found the corpse of a man, and the time of death was last night.
This made Pinggong Qianye guess that these dead men should know each other and escaped from somewhere together last night.
Unfortunately, they did not escape safely, but died tragically one after another.
The man who escaped to the cave should be the one who ran the farthest among them.
Because along the way, Pinggong Qianye didn't meet anyone.
Spider spirit.
Maybe we can find a Pansi Cave nearby.
Pinggong Chiye slowed down his pace so as not to miss any suspicious places nearby.
It rained heavily last night, and the dewdrops shone golden under the shining sunlight.
It’s like the Buddha’s light is shining everywhere.
……
“I don’t know whether Mizushima and the others have escaped. I hope the Buddha will bless them.”
"I believe Mizushima will lead them to escape."
"Yeah, that's all we can hope for."
In a cave covered with white spider webs, four cocoons were connected by spider silk, hanging in the air, with only their heads exposed.
Their lower bodies are kept in cocoons and are used as backup food by spiders.
Among the four people, one had been completely sucked dry and eaten by the spiders that burst out of his stomach, leaving only a shriveled head sticking out.
Layer upon layer of spider webs were like prison doors, locking their hopeful gazes inside the cave.
When a white-bellied, black-striped spider that was obviously larger than the other small spiders fell from the spider web in front.
The chatter stopped, and there was unconcealable fear in their eyes.
Every time this black-striped spider, which is as big as a millstone, appears, someone is brutally killed.
Last night, many people died tragically because of this black-striped spider.
It seemed to be able to perform some magic that allowed it to plant spider eggs into a person's abdomen before it even got close to the person.
After a while, the person's abdomen will begin to hurt severely, then swell up, and finally small black spiders will burst out of the person's abdomen and eat the person whole.
When they were afraid, the black-striped spider seemed to be able to smell the fear emanating from them.
It crawled over slowly, and glanced at them one by one, deliberately making them remember its terrifying face.
Then it went around behind their heads and seemed to sniff the back of their necks.
When spider hairs come into contact with the skin, the slight itchy sensation brings the deepest fear and makes people shudder.
If they could choose a way to die, they would rather be eaten by the black-striped spider right in front of them.
Instead of being like now, always having to bear the dual contradictions of the possibility of death and the possibility of temporary survival.
Afraid of his own death, he hoped that the black-striped spider would choose the other two people.
Even though he knew he couldn't escape from the cave, he still hoped that he could live longer.
bad.
What a bad and natural thought this is!
The black-striped spider sniffed the complex smell of their approaching death.
It is so sweet and fascinating that no other taste can compare to it.
Unfortunately, several of them escaped last night, although they all died on the way.
But there are still a few fewer participants in my game.
In the end, the black-striped spider chose the person who was most afraid of death and had the darkest heart.
Since he is afraid of death, then grant him death.
As for not being afraid of death?
It’s okay. Just stay here for a few more days and no matter how strong your psychological defenses are, they will be broken down.
It quietly waits for that day to come.
After crawling to the man's head, it searched with its eyes, then went around to the man's front and let him see with his own eyes how its chelicerae pierced through his abdomen and implanted the spider eggs.
Although it does not need to be so close to cast its magic, it prefers to get close, watching the fear on its prey's face while slowly letting it enjoy its final death.
As for letting the prey enjoy the final pleasure?
That's not what spiders of its species are supposed to do.
For it, only reproduction, continuous reproduction, and the birth of more and more spiders can make it happy.
When the black-striped spider was laying eggs and preparing to leave, it smelled the aroma of barbecue.
It floated in from outside the cave.
At the same time, there was the smell of a living person, and new prey had arrived.
No, why does the smell of this barbecue seem so familiar?
It smells like roasted spider!
The damn prey actually dared to kill the children it had raised with so much effort!
The angry black-striped spider quickly moved along the spider web, ready to hang up the prey outside personally and make it bear children for it.
But before he went out far, flames, golden flames spread along the spider web.
The fire was raging, and little spiders died tragically in the sea of fire.
The fire shone brightly, illuminating the dark cave.
Let the three people trapped in the cocoon see the light, the light of hope.
They also saw a figure coming along with the raging fire.
He wore a bamboo hat with water droplets dripping from it, a dark grey cassock, and came with a staff and an alms bowl.
This is a monk who travels around the world.
She's just a little young, and looks like she's less than 20 years old.
The black-striped spider also saw clearly the evildoer who was burning its cave. It hissed a few times and a black smoke spewed out of its mouth.
However, this highly corrosive poisonous fog was purified by the spreading golden flames before it even got close to the monk.
The black-striped spider retreated a distance, and used magic to transform its magic power into spider eggs and injected them into the monk's body.
Hey, did it succeed?
Before the black-striped spider could feel happy, it clearly sensed that its demonic power was being purified, and at the same time it also attracted the monk's attention.
With just one glance, the black-striped spider knew it should run away. This was not a monk it could defeat.
escape!
Run away!
If you don't escape, you will die!
While fleeing in panic along the spider web, the black-striped spider clearly smelled a sweet scent.
Oh, that's the smell of fear on my body!
Suddenly, it felt that its body was unable to move.
There is a strong suction force behind me, sucking me in. No matter how I struggle, I can't escape.
It also saw the little spiders it had cultivated being sucked away continuously.
Soon, it could no longer hold on, and its body flew up and flew backwards at a high speed.
Only then did it clearly see that the source of the powerful suction force was a Dharma bowl, which was now emitting bursts of golden light.
Those little spiders that sank into the Dharma bowl were left with only wisps of black smoke floating out.
This is not a Dharma bowl at all, but an incinerator in a crematorium!
When its body was also put into the Dharma bowl, the fragrance induced by fear became even sweeter and intoxicating.
It seems to like the smell.
As a thick black smoke dissipated, the entire cave returned to calm, and the fire that spread to the cocoons that wrapped the three people also quietly went out.
"Master, you are truly a master monk who can subdue demons and monsters!"
"Master, come and save us!"
"Wow... I can finally leave here alive..."
Seeing the black-striped spider being taken away and dissipating into black smoke, the people trapped in the cocoon began to shout excitedly.
Soon, they were let down, the cocoons wrapped around their bodies were cut open, and their bodies were completely free again.
thump!
After regaining their freedom, the three desperate people knelt down and worshiped devoutly.
"Get up. Now that I have encountered this, I will not sit idly by."
Pinggong Qianye asked the three of them to stand up, looked at one of them, stared at his abdomen for a while, then swung the Zen stick in his hand and hit his belly accurately.
The magic power flows, dispersing the demon eggs formed by the demonic power in the man's body.
If these demon eggs are not dealt with cleanly, after a period of time, the demon eggs will absorb enough of his essence and then grow out of his stomach.
Give birth to a lot of little spiders.
Those men who died on the road before should have died in this way.
As the magic power flowed, the man's bulging abdomen gradually dissipated, then he vomited a large mouthful of black pus, and his face gradually returned to normal.
"How did you get to this place?"
Pinggong Qianye was very curious about why they appeared here.
The spider that could cast magic just now did have some magical powers, but only a little.
It must be these people who broke into the cave first, which is why they were trapped by the spider and captured in one fell swoop.
The three of them looked at each other, bewildered, as if they didn't know how to start.
Obviously, the purpose of these large groups of men coming to such a place was not simple.
Even what happened in the meantime.
And they are obviously not just victims.
Pinggong Qianye just looked at them quietly for a few seconds, and finally one of them changed color and sighed.
"Since the monk wants to know the whole story, there is no need for us to hide it any longer."
"To be honest, this disaster was caused by our own sins and greed, which led to this outcome."
"The story begins seven days ago."
The man did not hesitate any longer and began to tell the whole story.
