soul shifting

Chapter 22

Although this temple is dilapidated, its area is not small. The incense burners, incense tables, wooden pillars, curtains and other utensils in the main hall are all very exquisite in workmanship. I think it used to be a large temple with a lot of incense, but now no one cares about it. The face was hidden by the spider web.

In the small cabinet, Shen An found two incense candles that were almost drowned in dust, lit them and put them on the incense table, bowed to the Buddha statue twice, and nonsensely said: "I will use candles instead of incense to pay my respects." You, please borrow the censer, thank you for your kindness, long live, long live, long live." After speaking, he took the censer and planned to use it as a bowl to boil medicine for Elder Shen.

"Both of you, go to the backyard to see if there is a well, get a bucket of water, and pick up some firewood." Shen An said.

A gust of gloomy wind blew past and lifted the rags hanging from the back door. The backyard was astonishingly dark, making one wonder if he was blind.Han Xiuyu and Jue Ming glanced at each other, and at the same time took a step towards the main entrance.

"Haha..." Jue Ming laughed a few times: "Brother Xiu Yu, go fetch water, I'll collect firewood."

"I'll pick it up," Han Xiuyu said, pushing Cassia Ming a bit: "You go fetch water."

"You should go..." Pushed.

"You go." Push.

The two pushed and shoved and played Tai Chi, and neither of them would enter the backyard. Shen An sighed, and took out a small bottle from his bag: "Whoever you two come over to feed the glutinous rice balls, I'll fetch water."

An adult still needs to act like an adult, although Shen An is actually quite afraid of the dark.

The backyard was overgrown with weeds, and it was uneven after a few feet, and I didn't know what I stepped on.There was a well next to the base of the wall, Shen An said to himself, "Don't come up with dirty things", while throwing the bucket down, the hairs on his body stood on end, and his heart beat like a drum.

"Tangyuan, come here quickly, I don't need you as a pillow today." Han Xiuyu's voice came from the temple, and Tangyuan hummed feebly. After being tired for several days, it was almost starving.Shen An took a deep breath, and her heartbeat slowly slowed down.

People's fear of the dark is really amazing. The quieter the surroundings, the more they feel that there are ghosts and ghosts everywhere; if they hear some human voices, they feel safer.

After the bucket was brought up, there was something floating on the water surface, it was white and could not be seen clearly, so Shen An fished it out and held it up to his eyes for a closer look.

a skeleton.

Shen An: "..."

He felt that he was completely out of his mind from fright, so he didn't scream on the spot.

Hope the water is still drinkable.

Shen An threw the skeleton to the corner of the wall, and there was a "dang", in addition to the muffled sound of the bones falling to the ground, there was also the special vibrato when the metal was shaken.He returned to the ruined temple with the bucket in his hand, and boiled the water three times in the incense burner before he dared to use it to decoct medicine.

After taking the medicine, Elder Shen finally woke up, and asked in a weak and hoarse voice: "The people from the Promise Sect...are you getting rid of it?"

"Don't worry, we're out of danger," Shen An said, "I want to head towards Lanxi and seek shelter from Xianyunmen."

Elder Shen nodded.

"Would you like to sleep a little longer? Or eat something?" Jue Ming asked, taking out a meatloaf from his bosom.He hadn't eaten all day, so he shared two meatloaf for one person, but he didn't expect that he could keep one.

"Don't sleep anymore," Elder Shen said, "I've been sleeping for several days."

Jueming carefully helped Elder Shen up, and poured some hot water for him with the incense burner.Shen An and Han Xiuyu stared at the meatloaf and swallowed silently—they hadn't eaten for another day today, and there was no way there was any food in this ruined temple.

Shen An took out the asafoetida that he bought yesterday from his bosom, and asked Han Xiuyu in a low voice, "Can this be eaten?"

Han Xiuyu rolled his eyes, shook his head, and silently handed over the nectar of the glutinous rice balls.

Shen An: "..."

Han Xiuyu: "I just drank it, and it tastes okay."

"I said that the glutinous rice balls look a little wronged." Shen An said, but still took a few sips.

Tangyuan fell beside him and watched sadly, the tentacles pulled down, looking even more aggrieved.

It was cold at night, and several people gathered around the campfire.Elder Shen looked at the incense burner used as a cup by the light of the fire, and there were two small characters "Putuo" printed on the foot of the burner.

"This is the Putuo Temple?" Elder Shen was a little surprised. He took out a firewood from the bonfire, held it up and took a look at the surroundings and the roof: "It really is."

"Have you been here before?" Shen An asked.

"Yeah, I also had a relationship with 'Ice Warrior' here."

"Ice Hero? The mysterious knight who defeated Luo Yuxuan?" Shen An was a little sleepy at first, but he immediately became energetic after hearing this. Hey Ice Hero, a legendary knight, this kind of excitement and freshness is just like what he heard when he was a child Saying that my grandma has met Gazi feels similar: "Tell us about it!"

Elder Shen stroked his beard: "Okay, I will tell you about my glorious deeds."

So the three of them sat around the bonfire and listened to Elder Shen talking about the past.

More than 20 years ago, Elder Shen was still a bloody knight wandering all over the world. One evening, he passed by a small courtyard of a hunter's house in the mountains. He came to ask for a bowl of water. With a sad face, he asked her what was the problem.

The woman told him that her husband went to the Putuo Temple at the foot of the mountain to burn incense last month, and he has not returned home until now. He went to the temple to ask, but the gang of monks threw her out arbitrarily, insisting that he had never seen it. Her husband is coming.As a weak woman, she didn't dare to ask any more, and she really didn't know what to do.

Elder Shen felt something was wrong when he heard it, but the monks who were supposed to do good deeds were arrogant and unreasonable. Could this be some kind of decent temple?So she took the initiative to help her to go to the temple to ask for clarification. The woman was very grateful and grateful.

After it was completely dark, Elder Shen finally arrived at the Putuo Temple.This temple is very imposing, the temple door is polished and the tiles are bright, the vermilion paint is fiery red, there is not a single trace of bumps, it must be painted frequently to be like this.Elder Shen knocked lightly on the temple door: "Is anyone there? It's getting late, come and stay overnight."

"Benefactor, please wait a moment." Immediately there was a voice from the temple, and when the door opened, a plump young monk said with a smile on his face, "Please come in, benefactor. There are bedding in the back hall. Go and rest first. The poor monk will send you some fasting food in a while."

"Then I would like to thank the eminent monk." Elder Shen said, and went to the apse.

The Buddha is enshrined in the apse, and incense candles are lit all over the room, and the lights are brightly lit.There was a person lying in a slightly darker corner of the wall, probably a real guest, the quilt was pulled up to cover his head, only a few strands of hair were exposed, but the bottom was exposed to the knees, wearing black boots on his feet.

"Benefactor, use some fast food." A young monk brought a bowl of porridge.Elder Shen took it and smelled it, and smelled the smell of sweat medicine.

This temple is really weird.

"Thank you very much." Elder Shen said, raised his head and drank the porridge in one gulp.

He didn't have the good habit of taking Mongolian sweat medicine antidote first when he went out. He just had the pure self-confidence.

After the little monk left, Elder Shen took the quilt and pretended to be asleep, and listened carefully to the movement in the temple.In the middle of the night, all the joss sticks in the hall were burned out, and the surroundings fell into darkness. Those monks who harbored evil intentions were finally ready to attack.

"Hush! Take it easy! Yuheng, Yuming, you two deal with that tall one. Yujue, you mess with that newcomer with me, finish it with one knife, and hit it right!"

Elder Shen listened to the words exactly, and said angrily: "Okay you fake monks, I will send you to heaven today." He secretly practiced his kung fu under the quilt, and his inner power traveled through the meridians several times, Wash away the effectiveness of the Mongolian sweat medicine to nothing left.

One monk lifted the quilt of Elder Shen, and the other held a steel knife, aimed at his neck and chopped it off.Elder Shen suddenly opened his eyes, grasped his saber, and with the power in his palm, it broke it directly.

"Fuck!" the monk yelled, and wanted to slash with half of his knife again, but Elder Shen kicked him in the crotch, and the force was so strong that he knew it must be broken, and he kicked him dead .

"The monk doesn't need this." Elder Shen said coldly, picked up the other with one hand, threw it out and hit the wall.

The "tall man" over the corner is also a strange person, he is still sleeping with his head covered when there is such a commotion in the room, and the monk's steel knife is about to chop off his head.

"Hey! Wake up!" Elder Shen shouted while running towards him.

The man finally reacted and stretched out a hand from under the quilt.

With a light "ding", he flicked the blade of the steel knife lightly, the monk let out a strange cry, and the tiger's mouth was shaken so that blood flowed out.Looking at the blade again, it was already gaping.

"It's so noisy." The man half sat up with his arms propped up under the quilt, brushed his long messy hair, revealed a handsome face, and raised his long eyebrows: "It's not yet dawn, why are you so noisy?"
