Be a Social Cow In An Infinite Game

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu are paying attention to the movements in the main hall.

After the monk sent the note in, the door was closed, and everything was silent.

They didn't know whether the name they used to fool around would be successful, so they all breathed lightly and waited intently.

Hope it works out.

This monk didn't even reject it, so it should be possible to get past it...

After a while, the heavy red door of the main hall was opened.

The monk walked out from the inside, looked ahead, and announced with confidence: "The holy Buddha parade—"

The two were overjoyed.

Well done, one point for the garden baby!

The monk looked around and said, "Amitabha, there are so many people today that it is inconvenient to travel here. Please go back to the town and wait. The Holy Buddha will come later."

After he finished speaking, the townspeople who were dazzled by joy obediently turned around and walked out.

For them, the monk's words are the will of the half-faced holy Buddha, which must be obeyed.

What would they be dissatisfied with being protected by the grace and protection of the half-faced holy Buddha?

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu just watched them leave the Supreme Buddhist Temple in an orderly manner.

Once again, they clearly realized that the people here admired this Buddha almost to the point of obeying.

Jing Ruyu turned her head and glanced at the majestic hall.

The monk stood in front of the closed gate and watched the townspeople leave, calmly, like a supervisor sent by God.

She frowned for a moment and looked away.

Xiaoxiong also waved the flag and led her tour group away from the Supreme Buddha Temple and back to the small town.

On the way, Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu walked at the end of the team again, keeping some distance from Wei Chuchu.

The townspeople who ran past them all had excited smiles on their faces, as if it was New Year's Eve.

They stood silently outside this joy, so calm that they were out of place with their surroundings.

"That monk feels very strange to me."

They suddenly heard Wei Chuchu who was walking in front say so.

Feng Jiqiang clasped his arms around his chest and nodded his head: "Well, maybe it's not the Buddha who controls this place, but these monks, and the Buddha is also an illusion they fabricated."

Wei Chuchu nodded solemnly: "The ghost king is probably among them..."

Feng Jiqiang nodded: "That may not be the case."

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu listened to their analysis quietly, feeling that it made sense.

In the new world, demons and ghosts and other anti-scientific things have come out, so why is it impossible for a group of monks to swindle and cheat in the name of saints and Buddhas?

If this group of monks happens to have some spells and can really help the townspeople realize their wishes, that's another matter.

The two looked at each other silently, and tacitly expressed reservations about this.

It's been less than a day since everyone entered the dungeon, and it's too whimsical to dig out the ghost king in one day—not every ghost king is as direct as Zhou Xiuxiu!

Xia Zhiyi sincerely hopes that the ghost king can learn like Zhou Xiuxiu.

Be sincere, avoid routines and guesses, and expose yourself directly to benefit everyone.

The townspeople have already gathered at the entrance of the town in the south, old and young, looking forward to it.

Little Xiong saw a large group of people blocked here, and they couldn't get through, so he simply asked everyone to wait and see here.

In this highly anticipated atmosphere, the players gradually became nervous.

Xia Zhiyi stared intently at the greenery in the distance.

She suddenly became curious about the appearance of the half-faced holy Buddha, how big and heavy he was, and how many people would be needed to lift and push him out.

It doesn't feel like a small project, so does it take time for him to come out?

In other words, He will have a different way of appearance?

Just as he was thinking, a large cloud of white mist suddenly gushed out from the mountains and forests, rushing towards the entrance of the town like a ferocious beast out of its cage!

Players have been caused by the white mist PTSD by the new world. The first reaction when seeing the white mist is to run back, save your life!

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu also thought so.

They retreated instinctively, but the enthusiastic townspeople swarmed forward, like waves in the sea, wave after wave, menacing and unstoppable.

They were even dispersed by the crowd, pushed and wrapped by the crowd and turned to both sides.

Amidst the passionate anticipation, they couldn't hear each other's voice, let alone return to each other's side.

At this time, the half-faced Buddha came.

The cheers of the crowd suddenly rose.

Following their expectant eyes, the two turned their heads to look—

Amidst the solemn bells, the hazy white mist envelops the entire emerald green, like a fairyland descending.

In the mist, a face is looming.

Then, the huge stone body was blown away by the white mist, revealing the true face of Lushan Mountain.

This is a Buddha statue with one body and four arms, either holding flowers or making seals, with upper garment and lower skirt, gold and stone rings on the arms, pearls and jade on the waist, and the treasure looks solemn.

In addition, He has an incomparably complete face—only the appearance of the two faces is different.

The smoke spreads across the clouds, and the half-faced Buddha moves forward silently under the protection of the white mist and the monks.

The townspeople voluntarily made way for him.

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu were also wrapped and retreated to the side.

In the sound of the wooden fish beeping, they saw the giant Buddha coming in front of them.

Xia Zhiyi raised his head, and the compassion of the giant Buddha jumped into his eyes.

He is like a bodhisattva with compassionate eyes, his slightly lowered eyebrows contain compassion for all things in the world, and the flowers twisted in his hands are like willow branches that can influence all living beings, compassionate and beautiful.

Jing Ruyu saw a King Kong with glaring eyes.

The flushed face and fluttering short red hair seemed to herald His fury of thunder, and the tip of the Vajra raised high was facing forward, as if facing demons and monsters, and as if facing His mortal beings, screaming People's hearts were shocked when they saw it, and they dared not be disrespectful.

They suddenly understood why it was called Half-faced Buddha.

What's more, at a certain moment, they seemed to see the eyes of this lifelike Buddha statue... move.

The lofty gaze suddenly fell, and the feeling of oppression followed like a shadow.

However, when they came back to their senses, they didn't feel anything, even the eyes of the Buddha statue didn't move at all, as if they had an extremely short dream in this vast mist.

The half-faced Buddha gradually went away, and the townspeople spontaneously followed the Buddha statue, and the surrounding gradually became deserted.

Some players followed involuntarily, Feng Jiqiang and Wei Chuchu also followed - they planned to follow along to see if there would be anything different in this parade.

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu stayed where they were, not rushing to follow.

Looking at the black human head and the huge stone statue of half-faced Buddha in front of them, they only felt that they were surrounded by a strange and untraceable feeling.

Xia Zhiyi didn't like this feeling, so she rubbed her arms to break the silence: "Do you have any weird feelings?"

Jing Ruyu nodded: "Yes."

Xia Zhiyi pursed her lips and said, "So this is the Half-faced Buddha... I don't think the name is appropriate."

Jing Ruyu turned to look at her: "Then what do you think it should be called?"

Xia Zhiyi pondered for a moment, then suggested: "Two half-faced Buddhas?

"I think this one is very vivid and appropriate."

"..."

Jing Ruyu smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "It's a good idea, but I don't think people from the Supreme Buddha Temple would agree to adopt this name."

Xia Zhiyi felt sorry for this.

Seeing that the people around them were about to disperse and Xiao Xiong was not there, the two decided to follow the parade after much deliberation.

The sound of wooden fish and chanting were intertwined, and the half-faced holy Buddha walked silently, as if he was going to circle the town and return to the Supreme Buddha Temple.

When Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu caught up, he happened to pass by the hotel where they lived.

The ground was covered with clouds and mists, making them suddenly think that they accidentally broke into the sea of ​​clouds in the sky.

At this time, they saw a couple who did not catch up with the parade.

They were standing in front of their house, and the husband was receiving a huge bright red lantern from the monk of the Supreme Buddha Temple. On the lantern was written a large golden character: Buddha.

Both husband and wife looked extremely happy.

This should be the family where the Buddha was chosen.

The two couldn't help but stop and watched the whole process quietly.

The benevolent monk clasped his hands together, and said in a calm tone, "Fortune has come, congratulations to both of you.

"Tonight at twelve o'clock, I will come to take away the Buddha, and please wait here on time, don't be late, the Holy Buddha does not like people who have no sense of time.

"As for your wishes, after the Buddhist disciples enter the temple to practice, the holy Buddha will realize it for you, so don't worry.

"Since the blessing has been delivered, the mission of the little monk has been completed, so I will not disturb you two. Please cherish the last time with the Buddha, Amitabha, farewell."

The monk turned his head and walked calmly towards the direction of the parade.

The husband and wife stood at the door, watching each other eagerly.

"Master, go slowly!"

"We'll be on time!"

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu watched them hang up the lanterns after they sent the monks away.

The large and luxurious "Buddha" characters are adorned on the red lanterns, hanging high on the pole head, standing out from a row of ordinary red lanterns, looking very grand.

The husband and wife were very satisfied and went back to the house happily.

Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu stayed where they were, looked at the house, and then at the location of the hotel.

Coincidentally, this street is the street facing the window of their room.

"It seems that we have something to watch at night." Jing Ruyu said.

…

The half-faced Buddha parade is almost a whole day long.

They thought that the half-faced Buddha would go back after swaying once, but they swayed more than once, and stopped and stopped the second time for the townspeople to offer incense and pay respects.

The two of them walked around the whole town with the big army, but they didn't hear any strange sound of water.

However, it is uncertain whether there is really no one, or whether it is covered by the noisy sound at the scene and cannot be heard clearly.

Even if it is the former, they are not surprised. It is not difficult to understand that the New World wants to hide this crucial pass for a longer time.

The parade was over, and the Holy Buddha returned to the Supreme Buddha Temple in the mist of smoke.

At this time, the sun was sinking and the sky was full of twilight, which made the players tired from shopping—those who didn’t know thought they were really here to travel!

Before they knew it, it was time for dinner, and Bear took them back to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

At the dinner table, Little Bear introduced the next arrangement to them while eating.

"You are tired after a day of shopping, there are no activities arranged tonight, whether you want to rest or go to the night market, it's up to you.

"However, the night market here will close on time at eleven o'clock. After eleven o'clock, the whole town will become very quiet, so I advise you to come back as soon as possible and don't stay outside for too long."

She put her cheeks together and smiled.

"After all, it's kind of scary when the whole world goes quiet, right?"

There was silence at the table.

Little Bear poked a piece of meatball into his mouth indifferently, chewed it twice, and said with a smile: "I hope you can sleep well, recharge your energy, and continue to appreciate the customs with me when you get up tomorrow morning, so that you I won’t come here for nothing~”

Xia Zhiyi: "..."

I get it, I'll be fine if I sleep honestly again.

In the end, since this was the first day of the new dungeon, and Jing Ruyu had a weakness buff, the two decided to stay in the room to rest, and to sleep honestly when they were sleepy.

It's okay to listen occasionally.

…

After returning to their room, Xia Zhiyi and Jing Ruyu checked the bathroom.

Wherever hair and blood would appear in horror movies, they didn't let go, even the big mirror in the bathroom was checked by them.

Thankfully, nothing came out, it was normal like in a real world hotel, there was even nice hot water.

They decided to take a bath to clear away the heat of the day.

Wash separately and do not lock the door to avoid accidents.

Fortunately, nothing happened, and it was safe and sound.

When Xia Zhiyi came out of the shower, she found that Jing Ruyu was already lying on the bed by the window, covered with a thick quilt, and the window was naturally half open.

Xia Zhiyi made sure the doors were closed before going to another bed and sitting down.

She was thinking about how to persuade Jing Ruyu to sleep on another bed, focus on rest, and leave the outside affairs to her.

Hearing the movement, Jing Ruyu slowly turned to face her, her gentle eyes went back and forth between her and the other bed, and finally raised her hand to lift the quilt off her body.

"..."

Xia Zhiyi watched the invitation and couldn't help but remain silent.

After a while, he bent down and got in, and lay down beside her as if resigned to his fate.

Looking at Jing Ruyu's beautiful eyes, she couldn't help but say: "I want you to sleep in that bed..."

Jing Ruyu asked, "Why?"

Xia Zhiyi said: "I want you to have a good rest, anyway, it's just for a look, it's okay, just leave it to me."

Jing Ruyu suddenly smiled: "Yeah, it's just to take a look anyway, it doesn't matter."

This smile was as gentle as water, and Xia Zhiyi was almost dazzled by her beauty.

Xia Zhiyi hurriedly shook her head, and just when she was about to continue, she saw her suddenly leaning down into his arms and hugging his waist.

"Zhiyi, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while, okay?"

The words are very light, and there is a little pathetic.

Xia Zhiyi's ears went limp, and she forgot how to refuse.

Forget it, she's so uncomfortable now, it's okay to let her go...

"Go to sleep," Xia Zhiyi helped her cover the quilt, "have a good rest, I'm here."

"Um."

Jing Ruyu was tired after walking for a day, and she really fell asleep when she said she was going to sleep.

With Xia Zhiyi by her side, she would sleep better.

After an unknown amount of time, she woke up in a daze, and Xia Zhiyi was not by her side.

She immediately opened her sleepy eyes and looked around for her, only to find that her ex-girlfriend was lying by the window like a kitten, quietly looking out.

The lights in the room have been turned off, only a little moonlight outside the window gently falls on Xia Zhiyi's face, illuminating her star-like eyes.

Sensing movement around her, she turned her head to look and found that Jing Ruyu had woken up.

"You're awake," she said in a low voice, "the person hasn't come yet, why don't you sleep for a while?"

She heard Jing Ruyu smile softly, as if an ambiguous breath swept past her ears, making her heart itch.

In the blink of an eye, Jing Ruyu has already leaned over: "If you sleep again, you won't be able to see."

Her dear ex-girlfriend would definitely not obediently call her up.

"I know, what time is it?"

"It's almost twelve o'clock."

"That's fine."

Jing Ruyu wrapped the quilt around the two of them: "It's cold at night, don't catch cold."

They have done the act of nesting in a quilt countless times, and Xia Zhiyi has already formed a habit, and she didn't refuse, just wrapping herself in the quilt quietly.

All her attention is now outside.

Looking down from the window of the room, I happened to be able to see the selected family.

There were no lights on the silent street, only the silvery white moonlight, and the red lanterns swaying in the night wind, which was a bit strange in the long street where no one passed by.

The word "Buddha" engraved on the red lantern is particularly conspicuous, and the big golden characters are like an indelible brand.

"Out!"

Xia Zhiyi lowered her voice and stared at the family.

In the daytime, the couple opened the door and came out. There was still a babbling child in the woman's arms.

Jing Ruyu followed and looked into the distance. A monk in red came out of the darkness, stepping calmly on the cold moonlight and appeared in the field of vision.

When the couple saw the monk, their faces showed joy, and they even wanted to go up to him.

The two sides met, 00:00, not bad.

Because they were too far away, they couldn't hear what the two sides said, so they could only judge from their body movements.

The selected couples were obviously very happy, nodding and bowing their heads, showing great respect for the monks.

The monk was still like that, clasping his hands together, taking his time.

He spreads his hands, palms up—he wants children.

The couple knew that this was probably the last time they would meet their child, and they felt very sad, so they couldn't help but give the child a deep hug as farewell.

The child rested his head on his mother's shoulder, quiet and well-behaved, without making any noise.

The couple cherished and carefully handed over the child to the monk.

The monk took the child, carried it skillfully into his arms, and looked down at the child.

At this moment, the child who was not crying or fussing suddenly burst into tears, loud and piercing.

The couple's expressions were moved, but they seemed to be used to it, they just stood there and didn't intend to bring the child back to coax them.

The monk turned a blind eye to the child's crying and didn't say any more nonsense. He turned around and walked towards the Supreme Buddhist Temple with the child in his arms.

The children's cries resounded through the sky, heart-piercing, and lingered on the long street for a long time, showing a sense of horror for no reason.

Under the dark night, the figure of the monk in red became extremely gloomy, until the darkness once again covered his figure.

The couple watched the child and the monk leave, and finally turned back reluctantly and closed the door of the house.

The two people in the room quietly looked away.

Xia Zhiyi closed the window conveniently, but it still couldn't stop the intermittent crying of the baby.

Jing Ruyu suddenly asked: "Zhiyi, have you ever heard a saying?"

Xia Zhiyi: "What do you say?"

Jing Ruyu said with a serious face: "Children can see unclean things."

Perhaps the child was not afraid of strangers, nor did he perceive parting, but saw something different the moment the monk bowed his head...

Xia Zhiyi: "..."

Thank you, goosebumps have risen.

The author has something to say:

What is the difference between this word count and double!

No!
