Chapter 2 – Is your heart sincere?


Under the shroud of dark mist, the entire Dragon Zen Temple seemed like a ghostly place.

 

Dang! Dang! Dang!

 

The sound of the wooden fish became more urgent.

 

Each strike felt like it was hitting Lin Baici and Jin Yingzhen's chests, making their heart rates increase rapidly, almost to the point of sudden death.

 

"I ask you, is your heart sincere?"

 

This suddenly appearing mysterious statue of Buddha lowered its head, looking down at the two of them expressionlessly, with crimson light flickering in its eyes like the flames of hell.

 

The divine taboo had arrived!

 

Jin Yingzhen instinctively tried to run, but her right wrist was suddenly grabbed by a large hand, and when she turned around, she saw the statue of Buddha holding the wooden fish up towards her.

 

As long as she ran, the wooden fish would definitely smash her head.

 

Cold sweat instantly soaked her back, making her underwear damp.

 

Gulp!

 

Jin Yingzhen trembled and swallowed with difficulty, her gaze falling on the face of the boy who, if he debuted, could become a top idol based on his looks alone.

 

She knew that if it weren't for him pulling her back, she would have already died.

 

Lin Baici looked at the Korean girl and shook his head slightly.

 

They couldn't run, or they would die!

 

That was what the mysterious voice said.

 

"You can't run, show your sincerity to the Buddha, otherwise your head will be smashed into a bloody fireworks display by the wooden fish!"

 

Jin Yingzhen dared not speak and used her eyes to ask Lin Baici, what should they do?

 

Lin Baici looked up at the statue of Buddha.

 

It was reddish-brown all over, like the color of coagulated blood, about three meters tall, and was carved from a single piece of giant rock.

 

Every detail was lifelike, even the most outstanding master craftsmen could not create such a perfect work.

 

The expression, breath, and texture of the statue of Buddha were like those of a living person.

 

It held a wooden fish in its left hand, resting it on its chest, and a large stone hammer in its right hand, striking it steadily, making a clear sound.

 

The statue of Buddha noticed Lin Baici's gaze and immediately stared at him.

 

"I ask you, is your heart sincere?"

 

This was the third time it had asked, and its patience seemed to be wearing thin. At the same time as it asked, the wooden fish in its hand was raised high.

 

From the looks of it, if Lin Baici didn't answer, or answered incorrectly, his head would be smashed to pieces.

 

"Fuck, I'm dead!"

 

Jin Yingzhen wanted to live, but her mind was a mess and she had no idea what to do.

 

"Delivery arrived, thanks for the offering from the gods, let's start eating!"

 

"Delivery? From this statue of Buddha?"

 

Lin Baici wanted to curse, clearly he was the one at the bottom of the food chain in this situation."Why aren't you eating? Don't like the taste?"

 

"Even with iron teeth and copper teeth, I can't bite it!"

 

Lin Baici shouted in his heart.

 

What exactly is this Buddha statue?

 

What does that sentence mean?

 

Does it mean that as long as I am sincere, I can survive?

 

Lin Baici looked at Jin Yingzhen, wanting to ask if she had any ideas.

 

The Korean girl blinked her eyes, looking at Lin Baici with hope, as if this Oppa was her last straw.

 

Lin Baici took a deep breath.

 

It's over, can't rely on this woman!

 

I have to rely on myself.

 

Lin Baici prepared to worship the Buddha, and when he was trying anything to save his life, the mysterious voice sounded in his mind again.

 

"Worship the Buddha and offer tribute, but not too little, otherwise it will be very angry."

 

"You are insincere, damn it!"

 

After the Buddha statue finished speaking, the stone hammer in its hand fell and hit Lin Baici's head.

 

"May the Buddha bless me. My heart is as sincere as a mirror, and the world can see it!"

 

Lin Baici shouted anxiously, took out his wallet, and took out 150 yuan, his cafeteria card, and ID card: "All for you!"

 

Whew!

 

The stone hammer stopped in front of Lin Baici's forehead, and the wind it brought up scattered his bangs.

 

Jin Yingzhen covered her mouth with both hands, panic in her eyes, almost screaming.

 

"Is it not enough?"

 

Lin Baici felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat. His heart rate was definitely over 200 at this moment. He didn't dare to delay and quickly took out his phone.

 

"This is also for you!"

 

After Lin Baici finished speaking, he quickly took off his T-shirt and jeans.

 

The Buddha statue looked at the "tribute" Lin Baici offered. Its originally terrifying face showed a satisfied smile.

 

"I, the Buddha, know that your heart is sincere!"

 

"You can live!"

 

The Buddha statue opened its mouth wide and took a deep breath.

 

Lin Baici's wallet, phone, and clothes were directly sucked into its mouth, chewed a few times, and swallowed.

 

Whew!

 

Lin Baici breathed a sigh of relief.

 

Is it okay now?

 

The Buddha statue didn't leave, but turned its head and looked at Jin Yingzhen, its smiling face turning fierce.

 

"I, the Buddha, ask you, is your heart sincere?"

 

Jin Yingzhen was very clever, imitating Lin Baici, took out her wallet, phone, removed her watch, hesitated for a moment, and then took off her jeans and tight-fitting shirt, offering them to the Buddha statue.

 

Lin Baici couldn't help but glance at her.

 

Her figure is really good!

 

Is this what they call a cow?

 

The Buddha statue opened its mouth and sucked up the tribute Jin Yingzhen offered, then knocked on the wooden fish and disappeared into the dark mist.

 

It's safe now!Jin Yingzhen, who escaped death, hugged Lin Baici excitedly.

 

"We made it! We passed! Oppa, you're amazing!"

 

Mua!

 

Jin Yingzhen couldn't help but kiss Lin Baici on the cheek.

 

"Do you know what that is?"

 

Lin Baici pointed to the strange Buddhist statue.

 

"Divine taboo!"

 

Jin Yingzhen explained, "This is a type of thing that appears in God's Ruins. It cannot be explained by existing scientific theories. The authorities define them as divine taboos, meaning they are forbidden things even the gods fear!"

 

"These divine taboos possess supernatural rule power and can cause rule pollution. For example, that statue just now, I think if we couldn't prove our sincerity, we would have been killed!"

 

Jin Yingzhen still felt scared when she thought about it.

 

She was so panicked just now that she couldn't think.

 

Thanks to this boy!

 

He was calm enough to come up with the idea of offering tribute to prove their sincerity.

 

Otherwise, they would have died for sure.

 

"Oppa, you're my superhero!"

 

Jin Yingzhen looked at Lin Baici admiringly.

 

Although she was now only wearing underwear, Jin Yingzhen did not complain. She even thought about taking it off and offering it up just now. After all, no one knew how much the bottom line for tribute to that statue was!

 

If it wasn't enough, they would be killed.

 

"How many divine taboos are there in a God's Ruins?"

 

Lin Baici felt overwhelmed and felt like he was going to be in trouble.

 

"I don't know!"

 

Jin Yingzhen suddenly noticed that besides being handsome, Lin Baici also had an amazing body with well-defined muscles that made her want to touch them. "Do you work out often?"

 

This was obviously a very self-disciplined man!

 

Jin Yingzhen found another good quality in Oppa.

 

"I don't like exercising!"

 

Lin Baici shook his head and looked around.

 

"Huh?"

 

Jin Yingzhen's gaze fell on the eight-pack abs on Lin Baici's lower abdomen, feeling surprised. Did they grow by themselves?

 

Lin Baici knew Jin Yingzhen's confusion because he was also confused.

 

Since he was young, his body had been very healthy, especially after entering high school, his body began to become as if he had been exercising for a long time.

 

"Given this situation, will we encounter other divine taboos?"

 

Lin Baici changed the subject.

 

"Definitely!"

 

Jin Yingzhen looked pitifully at Lin Baici. "So, Oppa, we rely on you!"

 

To be honest, this girl was very beautiful, with a very explosive figure, even better looking than the top girl group members that her friend Li Wei liked, but Lin Baici remained calm.

 

Because he was hungry.【Bring her along, can be used as a backup food source, recommended cooking method: charcoal fire!】

 

The mist dissipated a bit, and the visibility was about twenty meters.

 

"Oppa, let's hurry and find the god corpse?"

 

Jin Yingzhen felt dizzy and nauseous, as if she had been on a roller coaster for half an hour. "With this situation, we can't hold on for long. Even if we don't go crazy, our bodies will give out!"

 

"Let's go!"

 

Lin Baici didn't want to wait any longer.

 

Otherwise, he felt that he would starve to death before being contaminated into a pile of unconscious dead flesh by the god corpse.

 

"Is that the Daxiong temple over there?"

 

This was the largest building in Long Chan Temple, and Lin Baici decided to try his luck there.

 

"Not necessarily. The God's Ruins that were born after the meteorite fell can cause changes in the original terrain and create some incredible places!"

 

Jin Yingzhen was completely open and answered everything.

 

"Okay!"

 

Lin Baici had taken only three steps when the voice suddenly reminded him.

 

【There is a big meal over there, but with your appetite, you won't be able to finish it. It is recommended to avoid it for now.】

 

"What are you?"

 

Lin Baici stopped. Although this voice was inexplicable and mostly related to eating, it did help him just now.

 

There was no answer, and the voice fell silent.

 

"Can you tell me how to get out of this God's Ruins?"

 

Lin Baici didn't give up.

 

【Go to the right. This is your hunting ground, and your appetite is already starving and impatient to start eating.】

 

"To the right?"

 

Lin Baici turned around and decided to try it.

 

Jin Yingzhen followed.

 

The two of them cautiously moved forward in the mist.

 

Lin Baici's calmness gradually infected Jin Yingzhen, making the blonde girl much calmer.

 

"Be careful!"

 

Lin Baici suddenly crouched down.

 

Jin Yingzhen didn't stupidly ask what was wrong, but quickly crouched down and followed Lin Baici's gaze.

 

More than a dozen bodies were lying around in disarray not far away.

 

"Let's run!"

 

Jin Yingzhen grabbed Lin Baici.

 

【Hey, a group of unlucky people who died in the hands of the Buddha of Merit. Are they unwilling to donate tribute even if they die?】

 

It seems that the Buddha statue just killed these people.

 

By the way, is that monster called the Buddha of Merit?

 

Lin Baici estimated that these people didn't refuse to donate money, but didn't know how to prove their sincerity.

 

【You're in luck, you've hit the jackpot. You can go lick the bag!】

 

"Let's go!"

 

Since the voice said so, there shouldn't be any danger.

 

Lin Baici boldly walked over.

 

All nine men and seven women had their heads smashed."Search and see if you can find anything useful!"

 

Lin Baici walked over to the body of a young man who was about his height and took off his Manchester United jersey.

 

The jersey was stained with blood, which made Lin Baici uncomfortable, but he was even more uncomfortable wandering around in just his underwear.

 

After all, Lin Baici wasn't a pervert.

 

The relics of these corpses were untouched by the merit Buddha. It seems that they were not tribute offered by tourists voluntarily, so it refused to accept them.

 

Lin Baici found a Rolex watch.

 

He wasn't after the small gain, but he wanted to know the time to confirm how long he had been in this God's Ruins.

 

In addition, he also picked up a backpack, two lighters, more than 600 yuan, and three mobile phones.

 

If he encounters the merit Buddha again, he can give these things to it.

 

"Oppa, we don't have any weapons!"

 

Jin Yingzhen changed into a pure cotton skirt and put on a white sun protection shirt.

 

"Let's go!"

 

The two continued to move forward and after about ten minutes, they saw a gate of the Moon Cave, which looked like the eye socket of a monster that had been gouged out, standing not far away.
