In Liudao Zhenhuang Temple, Kong Sang and Xiao Cheng shuttled through the temple. Why there was a sound of fighting in the direction of the Five Buddha Hall not far away was beyond the scope of their consideration.

At this time, behind them, the shadow monster with dozens of eyes was chasing after them.
Kong Sang frowned slightly when he saw this. He hurriedly dragged Xiao Cheng away, not because he was afraid of this monster.
It's because Monk Kong Hui said, don't go out when you are young.
He and Xiao Cheng went out and ended up in a temple full of demons.
So on the other hand, if we go back before Zi Shi disappears, can we return to that era again?
“I just didn’t want to waste time!”
Kong Sang suddenly stopped. The soul-suppressing hammer in his hand contained a huge amount of gravity. He turned around and jumped into the air, hitting the shadow monster's head hard.
"Crack!"
The monster's head suddenly split into pieces, and the exploded blood-red eyeballs fell to the ground, dripping and pouring out. The corner of Xiao Cheng's mouth twitched as he watched.
Kong Sang, who was weak and easy to push down before, now feels a bit sluggish?

Kong Sang shook the black substance on the soul-suppressing hammer with some disgust: "Kong has the aura above the red clothes. It turns out that the real combat power is nothing more than this. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so embarrassed just now."
At this moment, the scattered shadows began to squirm and gather together.
Kong Sang frowned: "Can it still heal? Xiao Cheng, let's retreat first!"
Just when the two of them hurried to the door of the guest room, they saw bursts of crying sounds like children not far behind them. The two of them turned around and saw that after the shadows gathered together, they actually condensed into the shape of a stone tower. !It’s just that every “stone” in this stone tower exudes black brilliance.
In the light, under those red eyeballs, human faces gradually emerged! Looking closely, there were children, young people, and teenagers. They all seemed young, and none of them looked more than 20 years old.
At this time, the faces of these people of different ages were like worms floating on these stone towers of flesh and blood. They shed bloody tears one after another, whimpering words such as apologies, as if they were in great pain.
"Is this flesh and blood stone tower the true face of this monster?"
Just as Kong Sang was in shock, he saw that all the faces of different ages were paying attention to Kong Sang.
Immediately, the monster, which obviously had no arms and legs, moved directly over with a "snap" at this moment, extremely fast!
"Damn it, is this a Stormbike?"
Kong Sang pushed Xiao Cheng into the crack, and Kong Sang followed closely behind.
Just when the two of them entered the place where the sliding door cracked, the familiar darkness came over again. After a moment of spinning, Kong Sang and Xiao Cheng had returned to the room.
Kong Sang turned on her phone, and the time displayed on the alarm clock was just past midnight.
"Huh..." Kong Sang looked at the layout of the room: "That's right, we have indeed returned to the past now."
"What should I say now?" Xiao Cheng asked.
"You are not allowed to go out after midnight. But it is already past midnight," Kongsang said.
"..." Xiao Cheng opened his mouth: "I don't think Monk Kong Hui meant this."
"Yes, but... I really want to open the door normally and go out to check the situation." Kongsang explained: "Because, the three monsters that have appeared so far have made me a little uneasy."
Xiao Cheng was startled: "Indeed, whether it is the flesh and blood Buddha or the porcupine monster monk, their Taoism is not weak. However, it should not make you uneasy."
Kong Sang frowned: "That's not it. I remember when I was studying the Hundred Ghost Stories of the island country in college, I vaguely seemed to have heard some stories, but I can't remember them clearly now."
"I want to go to the Five Buddha Hall and the canteen to verify it!"
Xiao Cheng shrugged, indicating his opinion.
Kong Sang took the watch gong in his hand and opened the door. He saw rows of red and white red lotus lanterns outside. The temple still had a quiet and peaceful atmosphere under such light.
As for the monster that was about to break in earlier, there was no trace at this moment.
It seems to have become a real temple, and I feel a sense of peace and tranquility inside.
Kong Sang and Xiao Cheng quickly arrived at the Five Buddha Hall.
Under the fragrance that surrounds the tip of the nose, the Buddhas of the five directions each stand on the golden lotus platform, their treasures are solemn, and there is no problem.
"If you think about it carefully, when you and I first entered the Five Buddha Hall today, Monk Kong Hui used scriptures to divert our attention. Now it seems that he doesn't want us to find out any clues here."
With that said, Kong Sang walked to the incense table.
Looking up at the majestic golden bodies with compassionate faces, they seem to be no different from a plate of Buddha statues.

"Um?"
Suddenly, Kong Sang frowned.
"Is it my imagination?"
Muttering to himself, Kong Sang walked step by step to the side of the Buddha statue.
"Xiao Cheng, come here and take a look."
Kong Sang pointed to the gap that extended from the canopy above the head to the ankles: "I remember that when making Buddha statues, it is taboo to have such cross-section-like marks."
Xiao Cheng spread his hands and said, "Don't you think it's a little weird if you ask me a direct question about Buddhism?"
"There's something wrong with this Buddha statue." It was Wong Tai Sin on Xiao Cheng who spoke.
At this time, Huang Taixian pushed up his pair of black gold-rimmed glasses, touched his beard and said slowly: "Generally speaking, when making Buddha statues, they must be enlarged and made according to the so-called standards. To put it simply,
That is, the head-to-body proportions must be based on the recorded data.”
"But when you look at the Five Directions Tathagatas, it is obvious that the Golden Lotus Platform is too small, and it is only a first-grade lotus platform. This is not the standard for the Golden Lotus of the Earth to be stepped on by the Buddha."
Koukou 563743675
"Furthermore, don't you think that the bodies of these five Buddhas are too bloated?"
"It doesn't seem to feel anything from the plane, but it's clear when you look at it from the side. The head-to-body ratio is so different! It feels like... something is stuffed inside the body?"
Speaking of this, Wong Tai Sin's expression became a little subtle.
During the battle just now, he also saw the strangeness of the flesh and blood Buddha. It is self-evident to mention this at this moment.
Kong Sang turned to the Buddha's back again, and at this moment, his pupils shrank.
But I saw that the back of the Buddha's head was actually a round mouth! These mouths almost covered the entire back of the Buddha's head, and if you look closely, starting from the outermost circle of the mouth, there are sharp ones one after another.
The teeth extend all the way to the inside like a vortex!
However, even if something strange was discovered, the Buddha statue seemed to have no reaction.
Kong Sang took out an infrared thermometer gun from Hutian's bracelet.
Xiao Cheng was immediately confused: "When you came to the island country, you brought this with you?"
"Who knows what strange things may happen to you? Isn't this the best way to be prepared?"

With that said, Kong Sang pointed the temperature measuring gun at the Buddha's golden body. As forty degrees appeared on the dashboard, Kong Sang immediately took a few steps back.
"I'm afraid there is something inside this Buddha statue! Otherwise, how could the temperature of a golden body be so much higher than the indoor temperature?"
But at this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the entire Buddhist hall. The laughter ranged from old to young, high and low, thick and sharp, mixed in the dark night, and revealed an indescribable weirdness.
color.
"This laughter seems to be coming from behind the Five Buddha Hall!"
Kong Sang and Xiao Cheng looked at each other, and they immediately came to the back of the Buddhist temple and pushed open the wooden door.
The scene that greeted their eyes made the two of them change their expressions.
Because, in front of us are the stone stairs, the two rows of stone walls, and the Ksitigarbha statues covered with moss and tied with red knots.
"This...isn't this the place we just came in?"
Xiao Cheng looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.
But the only difference is that underneath these two sections of stone wall is not a mountain gate, but an ancestral hall. A small ancestral hall not much bigger than a bedside table!
Discussion group Wu Lu彡⑦④彡LU⑦ Wu
The small ancestral hall is also a very old island building structure. Under a simple wooden door, the paper windows have been damaged a lot. What comes into view is also a Ksitigarbha statue.
It's just that the smile engraved on the Ksitigarbha statue looks more lifelike. Moreover, the Ksitigarbha's cassock is missing a corner!
Kong Sang murmured to himself: "Missing a corner, cassock, monk, Ksitigarbha..."
Kong Sang seemed to have thought of something, and kept saying these words over and over again.
"I see!"
Just when Kong Sang seemed to be thinking of something, Xiao Cheng suddenly felt something tugging on his clothes.
"Um?"
Xiao Cheng turned around subconsciously, only to see a Ksitigarbha statue that looked like a seven or eight-year-old child standing there. He opened his mouth slightly, as if he was laughing heartily.
Xiao Cheng didn't know why, and just when he was about to take action, Kong Sang immediately said: "Xiao Cheng, tear off your clothes and give them to him!"
"What?"
ID card - Wu Lu彡⑦④彡鲁⑦五
"quick!"
The Ksitigarbha statue seemed to have no reaction when it looked at Xiao Cheng, and its smile began to turn ferocious. The hostility exuding from its body suddenly increased dozens of times!
Even its seven orifices began to bleed continuously!
Seeing this, Kong Sang immediately rushed forward, with a trace of blood mist in his hand, and cut off some of Xiao Cheng's trouser legs like a sharp blade. The Ksitigarbha statue immediately took the piece of clothing in his hand and ate it. Then he shook it After shaking his body, he returned to the group of Ksitigarbha statues nearby and placed one on the ground, gradually turning into a stone sculpture.
"This is..." Xiao Cheng still didn't react.
"Go out and talk." Kongsang whispered.
After the two left the Five Buddha Hall, Kong Sang looked around and saw that there were no monsters, so he said: "I know!"
"Know what?"
"What on earth are those flesh and blood Buddhas!" Kong Sang said solemnly: "I have always been wondering why the Buddhas of the Five Directions recited the Medicine Buddha's Heart Mantra."
"Actually, these five Buddhas are not the Five Buddhas, they are the laughing Ksitigarbha!"
First published: Tower & Reading Novel
Xiao Cheng scratched his head in confusion: "What kind of monster is this?"
But Huang Taixian on his shoulder seemed to know something, and couldn't help but look at Kong Sang: "So, you just asked Xiao Cheng to tear off his clothes..."
Kong Sang nodded:
"Yes, the smiling face hidden in the island country's mythology is a very famous strange story. It's not that this monster is very powerful, but that it represents ominousness and curse."
"According to legend, Laughing Ksitigarbha specializes in eating the land gods of island countries. After they take the power of the land gods into their own, they can become more powerful. At the same time, Laughing Ksitigarbha is not a statue that channels spirits, but makes people alive. Into a statue!”
"In other words, the core of every Laughing Ksitigarbha statue is actually a living person whose limbs have been severed!"
"After their death, their resentment was not extinguished, so they let the laughing Jizo use Kaitan to become a monster that cursed others. The laughing Jizo itself was not very lethal, but they would tear the sleeves of travelers in the dark. ."
"If a traveler turns back, he must tear part of his clothes and give it to him as an offering."
"If you turn around and don't give him your clothes, he will eat you. Or, he will leave a curse on you."
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng understood immediately.

Although Laughing Ksitigarbha is the image of Ksitigarbha statue in Kaidan mythology, as the power of the miraculous god itself increases, its deception will become stronger.
Therefore, it is not impossible to retain the power of Laughing Ksitigarbha but evolve the body of the five Buddhas.
"So... Jiuhu Taro died quietly, it is very likely that..."
Kong Sang glanced at Xiao Cheng and nodded immediately: "According to our previous investigation, the island country's strange powers and chaos gods are better at the original power brought by curses and strange stories. The power is truly cultivated through the resentment and hostility in the later stage.
, on the contrary, it is uncommon.”
"And, I can be sure of one thing now!"
"At night, the Five Directions Buddha Hall in the temple here is the territory of the smiling Ksitigarbha. And during the day, they will turn into the smiling monks we see in the cafeteria, full of smiles!"
"Xiao Cheng, don't you think that when those smiling monks looked at us, their expressions were very similar to those of the smiling Ksitigarbha?!"
A little knowledge:
Laughing Jizo is a very famous monster in the island country's ghost stories.
The earliest version of this monster was called Kasogiri Ksitigarbha. It is said that one day, a samurai passed by the mountain gate and suddenly felt that he was being followed by something.
Kou Kou five six three seven four three six seven five
The samurai was very keen and immediately drew his sword and struck, but found that he had only cut off a few pieces of clothing.
The samurai was very surprised. On the way down the mountain, he suddenly saw a statue of Ksitigarbha with a smile on his face.
The cassock on the Ksitigarbha statue is missing a corner.
Later, the version of the story of Laughing Ksitigarbha was extended to include a monster that squeezed the monks into the statue alive. Therefore, although Laughing Ksitigarbha looked smiling, he was actually a very resentful monster.
Here, Tongshan combines the original ghost story of Laughing Ksitigarbha with another monster from the island country whose origin is less detailed, called the Little Monk.
