Book 4: Chapter 79: Mental Problem

Wen Binghui quickly explained to us, "In Bonism, not just anyone can be used to feed the gods. Its written in the Ghost Sutra that in ancient times, it was necessary for mages to choose who would be eaten since the ancient gods didnt eat sick people. If the ancient gods chose you and you happened to be sick, they would cure you first.

"As a result, people with incurable or chronic diseases who couldnt stand the pain would use this scripture to invite the gods to eat. If the ancient gods answered, your illness would improve every time you recited the scripture."

After he said this, I asked him, "How do you know so much?"

"Ive read all the existing Bon scriptures and even translated many of them. The texts state that the Luozeng Sutra doesnt use actual words but is a mix of many ancient dialects. These dialects are as old as the Stone Age. In fact, there are some very ancient dialects in many religious scriptures. If you encounter this kind of scripture, its basically considered the Luozeng Sutra."nove(l)bi(n.)com

I nodded before asking, "Then what about this scenario: When my illness is almost better, but Im not completely cured, I blacklist the ancient gods and burn the scriptures. Will I be fine in this case?"

Wen Binghui looked at me and said, "I don't know. After all, youre not all that delicious. It may not want to eat you."

I glanced at Xiuxiu. I had personally seen Huo Xiangu's dead body back then. Although I knew that I wasnt responsible for her death, outsiders seemed to think that I had killed her faster than any old immortals who wanted to collect her soul.

Xiuxiu continued to fiddle with the satellite phone. We heard a faint noise and then a new round of incantations started up.

"This is a timed broadcast," Xiuxiu said. "The black stones here can reflect the signal. This isnt a supernatural phenomenon; someone's satellite phone is playing this."

If that were true, then it was very possible that things could go in a direction that I didnt even want to think about.

Based on the current cultural system, all the gods in those days could be considered evil gods.

So, Black Glasses must have experienced something completely unexpected. He didn't die, but he didn't escape unscathed either.

"The analysis should be complete, but don't rush to get an answer." As Xiuxiu said this, I saw Ming Er Nagqu come up from the hot spring. Fatty went to help pull her up, but she smacked his hand away.

"Ok, let's walk through it one more time, I said to Xiuxiu. I heard Black Glasses voice before, and he was trying to lure us in. Assuming that the satellite phone he was holding at that time was A, then the satellite phone thats emitting a signal now is B. Are A and B the same phone?"

"Is that important?" Wen Binghui asked.

It is, I said to myself. If its the same phone, then were now in extreme danger. Because it's probably a trap.

As I was thinking this, I noticed that something was wrong with Ming Er Nagqu. She was soaking wet, but instead of going to dry off, she went straight to the box that was holding the ancient costume.

Wen Binghui wanted to call out to her, but I quickly stopped him. Then, I saw her suddenly start dancing her way towards the costume box as if she were possessed.

"Big Brother, can you hurry up and tell us your analysis?" Xiuxiu asked me.

I shook my head. It was too late to say it. We had played the scripture at least three times, so if the legend was true, something was going to happen here.
