Infinite Throne

In the interval between the burning of sandalwood, the environment around Lin Yebai suddenly changed. He stood on the golden lotus. Not far in front of him, the huge Buddha statue bowed its head, as if observing the offering.

"What are you asking for?" The Buddha statue spoke.

"I want to leave this world." Lin Yebai observed the Buddha statue that suddenly spoke.

This is no longer Ci'en Temple. There are golden lotuses everywhere. The Buddha statue exudes thousands of feet of golden light, with kind eyes, just like those great Buddhas in myths and legends, with boundless Dharma and universal salvation.

There is only an ordinary wooden Buddha statue in Ci'en Temple, with a layer of gold foil on the surface. Because of its age, the color of the gold foil has become a little dim, and some places have fallen off, and the dark wood color inside can still be seen.

"Put your chips on the scale." The Buddha statue continued.

There is also a scale in front of his knees, made of white jade, hundreds of times larger than an ordinary scale. Even a person of ordinary size can stand on the white jade plate.

After Lin Yebai said what he wanted, the left scale sank quickly, as if a very heavy object was pressed on it.

The right scale was tilted high, and the white jade plate was empty. Lin Yebai needed to fill it with offerings until the two sides of the scale were balanced.

Lin Yebai felt a subtle sense in his heart. In addition to himself, the chips he could exchange included the stones he picked up, a few sweet potatoes, and Ma Zhaodi who was kneeling devoutly in Ci'en Temple. As well as Ma's wife and Ma Ergou.

The most valuable of these was himself. If he stood on the scale and offered himself as an offering, he would get a chance to get out.

But this was meaningless. Even if he stood on the right scale and balanced both sides, would the thing after he got out really be himself?

As for stones, they were the cheapest. Even if a mountain of stones was brought, it would not be possible to raise the left scale much. The balance measures value, not weight.

As for Ma Zhaodi, Ma Ergou, and Ma Saozi being put on the scale as offerings, Lin Yebai speculated that it might be because he disguised himself as Ma Ergou's cousin, and only with this relationship could he use them for sacrifice.

It seems that this Buddha statue doesn't care whether there is a blood relationship or not. As long as a layer of connection is established between people, they can be offered as sacrifices to each other.

If it were just that simple, the village would have been in chaos long ago. Lin Yebai had a hunch that even if all three members of the Ma family were thrown on the scale, the right scale would not drop much weight.

Because his connection with the Ma family was not deep enough. Ma Saozi would definitely get more by sacrificing Ma Ergou, because she and Ma Ergou were husband and wife, and the cause and effect between the two was deeper.

The law of sacrifice has been found, and now only the offerings are missing.

Lin Yebai suddenly thought, if all the villagers in the village were asked to call him dad, and then let them jump on the right scale, would the two sides be equal?

This method seems to have a lot of room for operation. He has learned some hypnosis techniques, and it is still feasible to make them believe that he is their father in a short period of time.

A reincarnation with high charm value has a great advantage in hypnosis, not to mention that he also has the gift of the origin of life, which is an ice-blue pattern under the right eye. It is usually invisible and has the effect of confusing people's minds.

If you look directly at the mark, you will fall into a dream and regard Lin Yebai as the only true god from then on, devoting everything to him.

This is an inherent ability of oneself, just like ice and thunder, which is still preserved in the dungeon world. Although the effect has been weakened countless times, it is still real and effective.

Lin Yebai has not used the ability of the mark in front of people. He always feels that the ice-blue mark is too fancy. Once it is revealed, he will become the center of attention.

"I'll go find a suitable offering."

Lin Yebai doesn't plan to chop off his legs or anything. He wants to throw everyone in the village directly onto the white jade scale to see if the two sides can balance.

The Buddha statue needs long-term belief. The village should be allowed to develop slowly and increase the population. It is bound to not kill all the villagers in the village in an instant. If all the villagers die, this dungeon map will be useless.

Anyway, these villagers are already loyal believers of the Buddha statue. If he has a falling out with the Buddha statue, these villagers will also turn against him, so it is better to take action in advance.

Lin Yebai left this dreamlike space and returned to Ci'en Temple. The incense he had bought before was half burned.

"Cousin..." Ma Zhaodi wanted to ask her cousin what he was praying for, but when she looked up, she was suddenly stunned.

What is on her cousin's face? It looks like some special lines, extremely pure ice blue, like a flower, different from any flower she has ever seen.

Strange, strange, and full of attraction.

"Cousin, let's go home quickly." Ma Zhaodi lowered her head and dared not look at it any more. She was still worried about her father and mother, but she had a strange idea in her heart-if her cousin didn't want to go back so early, she might as well stay here with her cousin for a while.

"Let's go." Lin Yebai was about to go back to test the effect. Ma Zhaodi was still a little girl, so there was no need. At present, it seems that the influence of the mark has been weakened by many layers, and Ma Zhaodi has not been affected much.

"What changes have I made from before?" Lin Yebai asked.

"My cousin seems to have become more handsome." Ma Zhaodi thought about it, and was a little afraid to look up at Lin Yebai's face.

After looking at him for a few more times, she felt like she was being sold. She would listen to whatever her cousin said, and she would do whatever her cousin asked her to do.

Of course, she would not say such words. This change only occurred after her cousin burned incense. Could it be that her cousin used stones as offerings and moved the Buddha, and the Buddha made her cousin more handsome?

I really want to try it.

Ma Zhaodi longed for it, but she didn't have the courage to really try. My cousin was already very good-looking before, maybe Buddha had a preference for him. Ordinary people try it because they think they won't die quickly enough.

Ma Zhaodi walked slowly, and Lin Yebai deliberately slowed down. He could still talk to people in the village when he met them.

"It's so late, why are you still outside?" Lin Yebai asked the strong man passing by.

"Hey hey hey, I'm going to have an affair with Widow Sun, the head of the village." The strong man looked into Lin Yebai's eyes and told the truth by accident. After saying that, he realized something was wrong and slapped himself in the mouth again, and said with a smile:

"I'm just joking, don't take it personally."

"Actually, I went to the east end of the village to look for something. I dropped two copper coins while walking there during the day."

"So that's it." Lin Yebai nodded slightly and continued to give him hints with his eyes, I am your father and you are my son.

These villagers were not normal people at all, and their personalities were much weaker than those of living people. The strong man stared at Lin Yebai and continued to be lost in thought. What is going on with this young man? Why does the more he looks at him, the more he looks like his father who has been dead for several years?

"Forget it, I won't look for it when it gets dark. I'm going back, dad..." the strong man blurted out and scratched his head. Why do I call him daddy?

"Go back early." Lin Yebai nodded and continued walking back with a confused Ma Zhaodi.

The strong man was puzzled. He stared at Lin Yebai's back and couldn't help but confess:

"Dad, it's getting dark, please slow down and be careful where you step."

When Ma Zhaodi heard this title again, she slipped and fell. Is there a word in my cousin's name that sounds the same as "father"?

Lin Yebai picked her up and shook her. A few sweet potatoes fell down, and Ma Zhaodi's stomach growled.

"I'll wash them. Let's eat them raw. It's too late to make a fire to roast the sweet potatoes now." Ma Zhaodi went to the stream on the roadside to eat the sweet potatoes.

Wash the potatoes and hand the biggest one to Lin Yebai. Holding the small one, he first gnawed off the sweet potato skin with his front teeth, like a little hamster.

The two of them met another person on the road. Lin Yebai exchanged a few words with the person. The person called out "Dad" loudly. He also picked two cucumbers for Lin Yebai in his vegetable garden and asked him to pickle them for a drink. .

Ma Zhaodi was so curious that she was both curious and confused. She asked, "Cousin, is there a word for dad in your name?"

"Yeah." Lin Yebai admitted directly.

[Mistake was made in the melon field]: Too much grass

[Looking at the crotch cat]: Zaizai became an old father at a young age

[Super Rich Orange]: Even if we are fathers, we are still very good at it.

[Class Representative]: I’m afraid I can’t even imagine the Buddha statue.

"It's so good that you got this name. It would be great if my father named me like this." Ma Zhaodi was filled with envy. Why wasn't her name Ma Dad?

"You can change your name." Lin Yebai suggested.

"I don't dare, my father will beat me to death." Ma Zhaodi was timid.

"Don't be afraid. When you go back, you might not have a father anymore." Lin Yebai comforted him.

"..." Ma Zhaodi was stunned.

Inexplicably, I feel that what my cousin said makes sense.

They came and went without wasting much time, because Sister-in-law Ma cooked a few dishes at home, and also served Shuanzi with wine that Ma Ergou was usually reluctant to drink, and was eating at the moment.

"Why are you back so soon?" Sister-in-law Ma asked in surprise.

Ma Zhaodi was able to speak freely in front of Lin Yebai, but she felt a little intimidated when she saw Sister-in-law Ma. Not to mention that Sister-in-law Ma's tone was a bit accusatory. She lowered her head and shrank.

"Come back and be a father." Lin Yebai said confidently.

"What a mess..." Shuanzi was eating when he saw Lin Yebai and couldn't help but frown, fearing that this good-looking young man would ruin his good deeds.

He was attracted to Lin Yebai for a moment and stared into Lin Yebai's eyes. The more he looked at her, the more intimate and excited he became. His eye circles were red and he couldn't help but say: "Dad..."

Shuanzi stood up and was about to help Lin Yebai.

"Sit." Lin Yebai pointed at the chair and Shuanzi sat back down.

"What's going on?" Sister-in-law Ma was completely confused. Why would Shuanzi call his cousin daddy? Then wouldn't she be Shuanzi's grandma?

"My cousin's name is Dad. Uncle Shuanzi may have seen my cousin and remembered what happened in the past." Ma Zhaodi explained.

"So that's it..." Sister-in-law Ma nodded. In fact, she had no impression of this cousin. She felt that everyone in the village seemed to know Lin Yebai. It seemed that Ma Ergou really had such a cousin. She believed it and never doubted it again. .

"Then let's eat together and get down to business after eating." Sister-in-law Ma greeted and asked Ma Zhaodi to bring two more bowls. Lin Yebai still refused, but Ma Zhaodi was full.

Ma Ergou was lying on the bed, tears streaming down his face. What kind of sin did he do to deserve these terrible things? The adulterer Shuanzi is here, and his legs really can't be saved tonight.

Finding a familiar yet unfamiliar person standing in front of the bed, Ma Ergou couldn't help but look over. He gritted his teeth at first, and his eyes soon turned to admiration.

Wuwuwu, daddy, please help me...

I am your precious son Ma Ergou!

father! ! !

Ma Ergou quickly fell, and his psychological defense was simply vulnerable. Lin Yebai reinstalled the previously removed joints, including the removed chin.

"Dad, you are so good, woo woo..."

"Dad, Shuanzi bullied me, and my mother-in-law bullied me too..."

Ma Ergou cried so sadly, and kept talking. Lin Yebai wanted to cut his jaw off again, it was so annoying.

"Why did the head of the family sit up again?" Ma's wife came in with a kitchen knife and was suddenly startled.

"You vicious woman!" Ma Ergou's eyes widened with anger.

"I'm doing this for our Ma family to have an heir as soon as possible!" Ma's wife said this sincerely and from the bottom of her heart.

"You lied, you are in collusion with him, I will kill you..." Ma Ergou picked up the stick at hand and was about to start.

"Put it down." Lin Yebai glanced at him, how could he waste his energy now?

"You are brothers, you should be united."

"Dad is right..." Ma Ergou looked at Shuanzi hatefully, he didn't want such a brother!

Shuanzi also looked at Ma Ergou with contempt, this kind of brother is simply a coward, he didn't want it either!

The two of them stared at each other, Ma's wife was afraid that they would fight, and finally the two of them snorted viciously and didn't do anything.

"I listen to my father and won't argue with you." Ma Ergou sneered.

"Oh, I don't think you dare, I am the most filial son of your father." Shuanzi said sarcastically.

"Don't make a fuss, bring a few people you are familiar with." Lin Yebai wants to develop more sons.

The connection between father and son should be deep enough, maybe it can balance the two ends of the scale. But it's hard to say, you have to be prepared for all the villagers to rebel.

"Okay, Dad, I'll go now." Shuanzi ran away.

"I'll go too, I'm the most filial!" Ma Ergou also ran away.

"What's wrong?" Ma's wife's foot injury has not healed yet, she limped and looked confused. If Lin Yebai's name was really Dad, they would never be so filial, could it be a resurrection?

Is Ma Ergou and Shuanzi's father the same person? Ma's wife thought more and more scary, is the ghost on the body the old man of the Ma family or the old man on Shuanzi's side?

"You two can just ignore everything." Lin Yebai glanced at Ma Saozi and Ma Zhaodi again. He always spared the old, weak, women and children when they were not threatening.

"Anyway, my cousin is my cousin." Ma Zhaodi accepted it faster.

"Whatever you want..." Ma Saozi didn't understand, so she didn't think about it. Anyway, one day is one day, if you really die, it's just a bad fate, why bother with other things?

Soon Shuanzi came with a few acquaintances. He said there was something good. Lin Yebai looked at them one by one, and soon, a series of voices calling dad appeared.

"Humph, I still bring more people." Ma Ergou brought eight people with him, with an arrogant attitude. He is the son that his father uses most, and Shuanzi, an adulterer, can't shake his position in his father's heart at all.

Lin Yebai hypnotized the subsequent people one by one, and today he had more than a dozen sons at once.

When hypnotizing the last two people, Lin Yebai felt a little dizzy. It seems that he can't hypnotize all the people in the village at once, and he has to do it several times. Perhaps the Buddha has already noticed something, and I wonder what method He will use to stop it.

"Each of you bring another person tomorrow." Lin Yebai ordered.

"Don't worry, Dad, I will definitely bring it."

"Me too."

"Dad, this is the silver I saved..."

These hypnotized villagers are very filial and eager to show their faces in front of Lin Yebai. ,Please remember:,
