[Sword Three Strategies Buddha] Old Ghost in the Mountain

In 742 A.D., Li Longji, the emperor of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, changed the Yuan Dynasty, which was the first year of Tianbao.

In the tenth year of Tianbao, Liu Ganyin, a young soldier of Tiance Mansion, was stationed at the frontier fortress. He was 26 years old.

Young people are full of vigor, so it is inevitable that they will be hungry and thirsty in the middle of the night.Liu Gan woke up every time at midnight, feeling unbearably hungry.I can't get enough to eat during the day, and I'm hungry at night when I'm full.He was in unbearable pain, dizzy, and every night he had a feeling of torture that would make life worse than death.

He was stationed in the city during the day, looking around, there was a large ancient forest below.Inside are all kinds of birds and animals, as well as precious medicinal materials.However, the general strictly forbids them to enter the mountains and forests privately, and offenders will be dealt with according to the military law.The reason is that beasts hurt people.

The veterans in the army said, how can there be any beasts to hurt people.The higher authorities blocked the news and prevented us from entering the forest because there are ghosts in it.Those who went in did not come out alive.

Liu Ganyin was considered obedient, and if he was not allowed to enter, he would starve to death and refuse to enter.

However, after waking up in the middle of the night, his stomach was already screaming so hard that he couldn't die.Thinking that the living can't be suffocated to death by urine, if they are going to die anyway, dying from hunger is better than dying from starvation.

He got up, put on his armor, took a gun in one hand, picked up a bow and arrow in the other, and went out the door when he was ready to go.I thought about hunting a few pheasants and hares, and wild boars, and I grilled them to satisfy my hunger.

Master Liu Xiaojun was lucky, he sneaked out overnight and hunted three pheasants and four hares.Thinking that it would be enough for two nights, I happily found a quiet place to have a barbecue on the spot.

After eating two pheasants, they were full immediately.Satisfied, he took the remaining game and slipped back to the house in the dark.

Relying on these things, Liu Qianyin really lived a good life for two days, and on the second day when he was on duty, his face was full of red, and his spirit was radiant.When the game was almost finished, he got up again in the middle of the night and sneaked into the woods with a rope.

I didn't meet any pheasants or hares that day, but I dragged a wild boar back by accident.He roasted the wild boar, cut up the rest of the meat, packed them separately and packed them back.

Relying on this wild boar, I lived happily for several days.

After a long time, Liu Ganyin felt that this forest is not so scary.Except for the dark night when the people are quiet, it is just an ordinary forest at other times.He has practiced martial arts all year round, and has killed enemies more than a dozen times in battle. He has long been accustomed to the shadow of swords and swords, and he smells bloody all over his body.It is estimated that even if there are dirty things, they dare not get close to him.

While peeing during the changing of the guard, he went to talk to the veteran who had spoken before. This forest doesn't look scary at all.The veteran laughed and said, young man, what do you know.There are monsters in this forest. They have been eating people for 100 years.You can go in and try if you think it's too long.

Liu Qianyin felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill.It is estimated that the above said this because they were afraid that the people below would sneak in to hunt in the middle of the night.Master Liu Xiaojun is already addicted to eating, and how can he be so hungry in the middle of the night without game.It is still important to eat.

So, when the wild boars had finished eating, Liu Ganyin went into the woods for the third time.

This time, something big happened.

The moon was dark and the wind was high that night, and the forest was pitch black.The first two times I came in, I could hear birds chirping, but this time there was nothing.Liu Gan walked inside in the dark, and the more he walked, the more he felt something was wrong.Why can't I see anything?And there is nothing, what can I do, I will be hungry again tonight.

He was getting angry, but he heard the sound of wings shaking in his ears.Turning his head, he saw a pheasant perched on a tree trunk not far away.Dinner can be regarded as settled.He immediately set his bow and arrow, aiming at the pheasant.

At this moment, there was a grinding sound under his feet.Liu Ganyin lowered his head and saw a huge bamboo rat gnawing on the armor at his ankle.He kicked instinctively, and the bamboo rat was kicked away.The pheasant was frightened by the sound, flapped its wings and fled away.

Liu Gan was so angry that he watched the dinner fly away, and wanted to roast the bamboo rat.However, I looked at it privately, and the bamboo rat had disappeared.

What a mess.Liu Gan was so angry that he dropped his bow to the ground.

Doomed to get nothing tonight, he simply went home.I walked deeply and shallowly along the way, and walked for a long time, but found that I spent twice as long as I didn't reach the entrance.

When I looked up, it was pitch black.Calculating the time, it should be dawn, but it happened to be night.

Liu Ganyin panicked a little.He swallowed his saliva hard, thinking about how to die a hundred times in his mind.Heideng walks in a daze, no matter how vigorously he walks, he always turns around in circles.Don't even think about it, it's definitely a ghost hitting the wall.

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly remembered that when a ghost hits a wall, he will swear at people, whatever is ugly.So he was so heartbroken that all the second generations of parents, ancestors, and grandchildren came out.Walking while cursing, the scolding made him furious and arrogance.Cursing and cursing, I saw myself coming to a small cave.

Liu Qian knew that the ghost hitting the wall was led to such a place, and it was definitely the ghost's lair.But he was out of breath at the moment, and he was not afraid of death anyway, so he went in to see what the hell was causing the trouble.If he was pretending to be a ghost, grandpa, I'll kill him with a single shot.

Uncle Liu swaggered and kicked the gravel at the entrance of the cave, and went in with a gun in his hand.

Then he realized that this isn't really a cave at all, the roof of the cave has collapsed, it's just a stone pit.

The moonlight shone down bluishly, illuminating a large area in front of my eyes.His ferocious face appeared in the moonlight like a mourning star, looking around fiercely.

What kind of place is this?Where is the ghost?

There is only an open space in front of me, a bit like an altar for doing rituals, the surroundings are clean and there is nothing.It's just that in the middle of the altar there's a big censer, ridiculously big and rusty.

Liu Ganyin looked around in surprise, but found nothing.He exhaled, turned and left.This place is weird even if there is nothing, I don't want to stay longer.

Just before he turned around and took two steps, there was a coughing sound behind him, creaking, like an old man suffering from asthma.

Liu Ganyin stopped in his tracks, thinking that this ghost still coughs?This is probably a human being, pretending to be a ghost.

"Who is it!" He turned around and yelled, drawing his gun and pointing, "Don't play tricks, get out of here!"

"Young man..." An old voice came from the big incense burner, "Please... pass me the thigh bone at your foot..."

What thigh bone?Liu Ganyin looked down, and saw a big white bone stick at his feet.

He picked it up in surprise, and there was a layer of dust on it.Liu Ganyin frowned, shook the bone, and threw it into the incense burner.

"Lack of crutches, old man?" he sneered.

"Of course not." The old voice continued to cough, followed by a click.

The censer fell silent, and after a while, Liu Qianyin heard the sound of friction, a bit like bones hitting the censer.

He was very surprised, what kind of dregs would crawl out of this stove.

The moonlight above the head moved slowly, gradually approaching the big incense burner.Liu Ganyin held his breath and watched carefully, and he also clenched the gun in his hand.

No matter who you are, if you dare to scare me, I will kill you!

The moment the moonlight illuminated the edge of the incense burner, a bony hand slowly stretched out, pressed on the edge of the incense burner, and grasped it tightly.Immediately, a pale skeleton emerged from the furnace, with a spine with no flesh underneath.

Liu Ganyin stared dumbfounded at it standing up from the stove, glowing blue in the moonlight.

The skeleton was wearing an old tattered cassock, the cuffs and neckline were tattered, and three Buddhist beads were missing from the diagonal straddle. It could barely be seen that it was a white cassock, and it was probably outdated.It has no good spots all over its body, and its clothes are not so rotten that it can't be worn. It's already a face.

With its slow movement, the dust was blown everywhere.

"Ahem..." The skeleton in cassock began to cough again.Its voice was old and ugly, so it stretched out its bony fingers to cover those big white teeth, and straightened the bones of its jaw with a click.

Liu Qianyin stared at it dumbfounded, completely stunned.

"Ah, ah, ah." The skeleton tried to speak again, just like a sound test.Now, its voice is not so old, it sounds like a... young man... although it still has a bone texture...

It adjusted the timbre for a long time until it was satisfied, and then it noticed the dumbfounded military man next to it.

Although it has no expression, it can be seen from the action that it is also taken aback.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Skull asked in surprise.

"You...what kind of joker..." Liu Qianyin lost his tongue.

The skeleton looked at him, then at himself.It took out a string of broken prayer beads on the bone's wrist, hung it on the finger tiger's mouth, and saluted.

"Amitabha. The poor monk is a monk."

"Fuck you! Monk is being treated like a skeleton!" Liu Qianyin reacted and was furious, "What kind of a joke are you? If you can't explain today, grandpa will make you eat and walk around! "

"I'm really a monk." The skeleton said seriously, "Listen to me—"

It held on to the stove and was about to come out, but it lost its balance and fell to the ground with a crash, immediately throwing itself all over the ground.

Liu Gan was speechless because he stared at the bones on the ground, his first reaction in his heart was—won't he fall to his death?

"Hey, people are old and useless. Osteoporosis." Skull sighed desolately on the ground.

Then those bones began to roll on the ground, and slowly gathered around it, the finger bones pieced together one by one, and they put themselves back together in pieces.

"It's kind of scary like this." The skeleton said shyly.

Liu Ganyin stared at it, not knowing what to say.Then he opened his mouth with widened eyes.

Because the monk skeleton walked into the moonlight.

With his movements, it seemed like flesh and blood reunited, slowly merging into a seemingly real body.It waved its hand lightly, and its face was restored to its original shape like a broken mirror, following its movements to restore its original appearance.

"How about this?" it said.

Liu Ganyin could only sigh, he had never seen such a handsome monk.This monk is really... so handsome, he is so handsome that he doesn't look like a real person.

No, he wasn't human in the first place!
