Chapter two hundred and fourteen the death of the temple
The sky is bright.
Li Xiuyuan just walked out of Zhang's house with Monk Han.
But at this moment, the streets and alleys of Hua County are filled with a burning smell, mixed with the smell of sulfur and charcoal fire, as if there was a fire somewhere in the county last night.
In fact, there was no fire in Hua County last night, only thunder that sounded for almost the whole night.
The thunder was sometimes loud and sometimes dense, which shocked countless people in the county and woke them up at night. Some people's huts and firewood sheds were damaged by the thunder, splitting the roofs and leaving a mess inside.
The young people were all frightened, fearing that the thunder and lightning from the sky would accidentally fall on their heads and kill them too.
But after a full night passed, the God of Thunder disappeared, and no one in Hua County was killed by lightning.
So many snakes, insects, rats, and ants that walked through the county at night were killed, and some houses that had been unoccupied for a long time were smashed and collapsed. Other than that, everything was as usual.
"Master Li."
At this time, a general-like figure wearing armor and riding a black horse ran out of the morning mist, came to Li Xiuyuan, stopped, and gave him a fist.
"It's the Ghost General with a Long Sword. How's the matter?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The ghost general with a long sword said: "We have captured all the ghosts who tried to escape from Huaxian County according to Mr. Li's instructions. The Yin soldiers have been escorted to the underworld, but there are still a few high-level ghosts and evil spirits who have escaped. Let us break it."
Lost some Yin soldiers."
After saying that, he returned the Ghost King Bag to Li Xiuyuan.
Li Xiuyuan took the Ghost King's bag and frowned, "Do you know where the escaped ghosts went?"
"I don't know. Their skills are so high that even I can't control them. They should have been here for thousands of years. After escaping, I don't know where they went. I only know that they went north." The long-sword ghost said.
Will said.
"There's nothing we can do about it. Not only are there a lot of demons and ghosts that appeared this time, but they also have higher moral standards than the last. Hua Gu, the biggest demon in Hua County, is so powerful that she can kill the Thunder God in the sky. If I hadn't left the
You really can't win this battle with one hand." Li Xiuyuan shook his head.
"Now that the matter has been settled, you can go back to Guo Beicheng. When I go to the underworld, remember to thank the Ghost King for me."
The long-sword ghost general nodded and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I know how to do it. In addition, according to the instructions of the previous ghost king, eight hundred Yin soldiers should be left to Mr. Li. I have already activated the Yin soldiers."
Li Xiuyuan said: "The eight hundred Yin soldiers can be placed in the City God's Temple and let Tieshan receive them."
The long-sword ghost general nodded, saluted, and then quickly disappeared into the morning mist on his ghost horse, leaving this place.
"You even borrowed the Yin soldiers from the Ghost King of the Underworld?" The silly monk looked at him again with wide eyes.
Li Xiuyuan said: "The world is in chaos, and the underworld is also in chaos. This time the Ghost King betrayed my face, I will naturally help him next time."
"For example, Aunt Hua has suffered a great loss and escaped from here. The demons and ghosts summoned by Aunt Hua have also been destroyed. I wonder where you plan to go next, monk?"
The silly monk grinned: "How many meals and drinks do you still owe me?"
"You come with me to Guobei County, and I will serve you with good wine and meat." Li Xiuyuan said.
Monk Han has the ability to enchant Xi'an, and he is also a monk with extraordinary martial arts. If he can stay, it will be of great help to him.
The silly monk said: "Then you have to pay for these few meals and drinks, and I still have to practice meritorious deeds. After cultivating three thousand meritorious deeds, I will become a golden Arhat. Then I will no longer be afraid of any monsters."
"I see. Since you, monk, want to practice, you can't be delayed by worldly affairs. I won't invite you. I will return to Guo Beicheng after today. Then you and I will have to part ways, and I won't necessarily be there in the future.
I will stay in Guo Beicheng, and it will not be easy for you to find me then." Li Xiuyuan said.
The silly monk said: "If we are destined, we will meet again."
Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement.
"Hey, are we going the wrong way?" the silly monk said suddenly.
"No, I want to visit the Guanyin Temple." Li Xiuyuan said.
When the two came to the Guanyin Temple again, they saw many pilgrims gathered here. However, the plaque in the Guanyin Temple fell to the ground and was scorched black, as if it had been struck down by lightning. And in the treasure hall of the Guanyin Temple
Inside, the three-foot-tall golden statue of Guanyin was missing, and a huge hole was broken in the roof.
It seemed as if the golden body of Guanyin flew away on its own.
But what everyone is talking about is that on the ground inside the Guanyin Temple, there is a line of huge characters. The writing looks like it was struck by lightning. It is three-thirds of the way into the floor tiles and is burnt black. It smells like sulfur.
"Counterfeiting Guanyin and bringing disaster to the common people should be struck by lightning."
Twelve big characters fell on the ground, and everyone was so shocked that they didn't dare to step into the hall. They just talked about it outside the hall.
"Could it be that Guanyin is really a fake monster?"
"Yesterday, the divine thunder in the sky kept ringing. Some old people said that this was the God of Thunder slaying monsters. I think this is probably true, and Guanyin may really be a monster."
"I heard that Zhang Yuan's wife gave birth to a son last night. Didn't the Bodhisattva say that no child will be born in the Zhang family?"
The people talked a lot, but gradually they believed in the words left by Lei Gong.
Compared with Huagu's apparition, Lei Gong's apparition is more upright. With the power of thunder, it not only kills evil spirits, but also conquers people's hearts.
Compared with the Bodhisattva in the temple, the majesty of the Thunder God in the sky is more convincing.
However, Li Xiuyuan didn't care about this, because as soon as the time came, they would soon discover that they could have children without asking Hua Gu, a fake Bodhisattva.
So Li Xiuyuan doesn't have to do anything, everything will come to light.
"Go in and have a look."
Li Xiuyuan secretly entered the Guanyin Temple, then bypassed the main hall and went to the garden behind.
When passing by the Freeing Pond, he saw that there were no more innocent souls gathering in the Freeing Pond. The water in the Freeing Pond was extremely clear, and the white lotus flowers grew luxuriantly and bloomed overnight. A quiet fragrance filled the air.
Come, smell it and it will make you feel that your troubles are gone, your worries are gone, you are indescribably relaxed and at ease, and even your mind is much clearer.
You must know that this is autumn, and the lotus blooming season has passed.
"My Buddha is merciful. A real Buddha must have come here last night to save the wronged souls."
Seeing this scene, the silly monk who was following him couldn't help but clasped his hands and shouted the Buddha's name.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "How do you know he is a real Buddha and not a god?"
The silly monk pointed to the ground in the corridor and said: "Look at the dust on the ground, does it take on the shape of a lotus? This is the trace left by the Lord Buddha's travels."
"It seems to make some sense, but it is also possible that he is not a Buddha, but a Bodhisattva." Li Xiuyuan said.
"It must be Lord Buddha." The silly monk said.
"I think it's a Bodhisattva."
The silly monk stared and said, "Try saying Bodhisattva again."
"Just try it, I'm afraid you won't succeed." Li Xiuyuan said.
...
After the two of them walked around the Guanyin Temple, they found that there was no one in the temple.
Li Xiuyuan went to the room full of paintings of female ghosts, but found that the paintings in that room were completely blank, and there was no female ghost inside.
The dissolute nuns in the temple were also at a loss and didn't know where they were going.
"Is Yingning missing too?"
This name suddenly appeared in Li Xiuyuan's mind.
"But... this should be a good thing. At least she didn't disappear for no reason."
Although the temple is empty when people go there, Li Xiuyuan believes that everyone should have their own place to go, and he doesn't need to worry so much.
After walking around for the last time, Li Xiuyuan finally left the Guanyin Temple after confirming that there was really a ghost here and not a single nun was gone.
After walking out of the temple, Monk Han said goodbye to Li Xiuyuan, saying that he was going to cultivate three thousand merits. There were no demons and ghosts here anymore, so he should go to another place to continue practicing. The world is so big, and there are always demons and ghosts somewhere.
Li Xiuyuan naturally watched him leave.
No matter what kind of person the silly monk is, just because he wants to conquer demons and eliminate demons in the world and achieve three thousand merits is enough for people to respect him.
After the separation, Li Xiuyuan returned to Qiao Mansion.
He was also preparing to bid farewell to Master Qiao.
However, when he first returned to the courtyard where his guest room was located, the two guards at the entrance of the courtyard were yawning and sitting on stools, leaning against the wall as if they wanted to sleep but did not dare to sleep.
"If you two don't go back to sleep, what are you doing sitting here?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The two guards woke up immediately, stood up and said, "Young Master, you are finally back. Are you okay?"
"What can I do? Didn't I tell you that I had to do something last night?" Li Xiuyuan said: "Why, seeing that you don't even dare to go back to the house, is it because of something evil?"
The two guards looked at each other and nodded.
"Where is that thing?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"It's in the eldest young master's room." The guard pointed to a room with a closed door and said with a look of fear on his face.
"I'll go take a look." Li Xiuyuan said.
The guard hurriedly said, "Young master, please be careful. That monster is very powerful. The younger two wanted to get closer, but they couldn't get in after wandering around in the yard for an hour. If it hadn't been for a bolt of thunder suddenly falling from the sky and flying into the house, the younger one would have been alone."
I'm afraid I'm still trapped in the yard. I think I encountered a ghost and hit the wall."
"Since there are thunder and lightning flying down, it means that the monster has been killed. You should not be afraid." Li Xiuyuan said.
There were a lot of monsters and monsters in the county last night, and it was not impossible for one of them to escape into his own house.
The guest rooms of Qiao's house are not popular in the first place, and only recently did I have a guest stay there.
The guard said: "Young master, the younger one thought the same way before, but when he wanted to go over and take a look, two stools flew out of the room and hit the younger two on their heads."
"Oh, this is interesting. Even the thunder from the sky can't kill this evil spirit? Then I'm going to have a look." Li Xiuyuan became a little curious and immediately walked to the guest room.
Just as he was about to open the door and enter, a series of laughter suddenly sounded in the bedroom.
"Giggle."
The voice is pleasant and moving, revealing the sweetness and charm of the woman, making people feel the urge to burst into evil flames as soon as they hear it.
