Chen Xi took a deep breath and looked at the headless Buddha statue again, suddenly feeling an indescribable eerie feeling.
In the entire dilapidated temple, the only thing related to Buddha is this headless Buddha statue.
No one could have imagined that the headless Buddha statue that Chen Xi regarded as a life-saving straw and could scare away demons might actually be... a demon!
You know, these three demons turned against each other and fought each other for his flesh and blood.
Now, in the simulation of human skin paper, they are willing to give up their hard-earned flesh and blood because the rain has stopped and the Buddha is about to wake up.
The monster that can make demons so afraid and accept human flesh as offerings can only be an even more terrifying demon!
When Chen Xi thought of this, he suddenly felt cold all over.
Fear gripped his throat, making his breathing quicken.
At this point, even a headless Buddha statue could be a demon. Is there really no way out?
"No, that's impossible. There must be some detail that I haven't noticed!"
Chen Xi forced himself to cheer up and calm down.
The bloodshot eyes kept wandering on the human skin, trying to find the so-called way to survive!
Gradually, Chen Xi noticed something that he had never thought about before.
Since the Buddha statue is headless, it is very likely the "Buddha" they are talking about.
So based on the fact that there is no rain and the Buddha is about to wake up, the headless Buddha statue today should be in a sleeping state.
Since it is in a sleeping state, why are these three demons afraid of the Buddha statue?
Or maybe, what they are afraid of is not the Buddha statue at all, but something else?
The reason why Chen Xi made such a guess was mainly because on the fifth day, these monsters suddenly became unrestrained, which was a very strange behavior.
After all, logically speaking, if you were worried about the "Buddha" waking up, you should have been even more afraid to get close to it when there was no rain on the fifth day.
This can only mean one thing, that is, the reason why these three demons did not approach Chen Xi in the past few days was not because of the headless Buddha statue!
According to the information revealed on the human skin paper, the thing that the demons are really afraid of should be within three meters nearby...
When Chen Xi thought of this, he began to look around.
But for a moment, nothing was found.
Within three meters around the headless Buddha statue, there was nothing else except rubble and puddles caused by heavy rain.
Wait! Heavy rain, puddles?
At this moment, Chen Xi had an idea in his mind.
His pupils shrank suddenly and he looked up!
At this time, it was raining heavily with lightning and thunder.
This just happened to illuminate the hole in the tiles above his head.
Heavy rain continued to flow in through the hole and fell into the puddle beside Chen Xi.
As luck would have it, the three-meter area around the headless Buddha statue was within the splashing range of the rain.
In an instant, Chen Xi was struck by lightning!
In his mind, everything that had happened during this period of time was connected one by one with the information revealed on the human skin paper.
"It turns out that what these three demons are really afraid of is rain..."
At this moment, Chen Xi suddenly realized!
It turned out that the reason these demons killed him on the fifth day was not because the headless Buddha statue had lost its effect.
It was because on the fifth day, all the puddles and stains left by the heavy rain were dried up and drained away...
"No wonder in my memory, since the continuous heavy rain in the past few days, these demons have never gone out. It turns out that they are afraid of water..."
Chen Xi muttered to himself, feeling somewhat regretful that he had only discovered it now.
But at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder about it.
Why are these monsters afraid of water?
With such questions in mind, Chen Xi couldn't help but piece together such a story in his mind...
One monk carries water to eat, two monks lift water to eat, and three monks have no water to eat.
Perhaps these three demons were really human beings in their previous lives, just as they said.
But when they were alive, they were not united, lazy by nature, and unwilling to give more for each other.
Everyone recites their own sutras and beats their own wooden fish, and no one goes to fetch water from the temple anymore.
Until a big fire burned down their temple, but even in this situation, no one was willing to take the initiative to put out the fire.
The three monks died in the sea of fire and became demons.
It seems to be buried in fire, but in fact it died in water.
Thus, the water that they once depended on for survival, the water that the fire desired most, became the demon that they feared.
The story guessed by Chen Xi was pieced together by combining what the demon said and the fable from his previous life.
He didn't know whether this story was true or not.
But for Chen Xi, the truth or not is not important. What is important is that they are afraid of water, and that is enough.
Chen Xi's eyes rolled around and he glanced around inconspicuously.
Because of the long period of rain, puddles of varying sizes had accumulated around him.
Once upon a time, Chen Xi relied on the rain to survive these days.
But I didn't expect that the key to breaking the deadlock had already appeared!
Suddenly, hope resurfaced in Chen Xi's heart.
The road ahead, which was originally dark, suddenly showed a ray of light.
"Do you want to try it..."
Chen Xi suppressed his emotions to prevent the three demons from seeing anything.
But until this moment, when he really wanted to take the risk and take action, he became hesitant.
Now, he only knew that these monsters were afraid of water, but he had no idea to what extent.
If the rain cannot have any substantial impact on these monsters, Chen Xi will definitely die miserably!
Chen Xi is a very cautious person who values life very much. He is not willing to take any possible risks.
Of course, this was also because he was frightened by the way he was eaten alive by the human skin paper.
Death is not scary, what is scary is living a life worse than death.
"Be patient, be patient!"
"I have human skin in my hand, so I can hide as long as I can. There is no need to take risks at all."
Chen Xi took a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his impulsive and anxious thoughts.
The three-headed demon, he still hasn't figured out the whole story.
The fact that they were afraid of water was not enough to make him fight for it!
In order to ensure that everything goes well, Chen Xi must wait until the human skin paper can be simulated again before making any plans.
In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth day.
The heavy rain showed signs of weakening and it seemed that it would stop completely soon.
Chen Xi took a deep breath, bit the scab on his finger without hesitation, and smeared the oozing blood on the human skin paper.
At this moment, the three-headed demon looked at him again, with greed flashing in his eyes.
The scarlet blood words on the human skin slowly emerged...
