Usually Nie Xiaoqian is always dressed very plainly, but today she covered a layer of red yarn over a soft white dress, this red yarn is woven from what material, and it seems to have a faint brilliance under the moonlight.

This dress was prepared for her by the Hu lady next to the ancestor, and she was going back to Lanruo Temple today, so she simply changed into this dress. In addition to the clear charm, it is even more beautiful.

Grandma has always been afraid of power and morality, and only recognizes clothes but not people. As a "caring person" by her grandmother's side, she knows when to dress up to please her the most.

This is the first time she has gone down the mountain since she was given to the Black Mountain Ancestor by her grandmother.

When Grandma saw Xiao Qian, she said very kindly: "Xiao Qian, you are really ruthless, it took so long to come back to see Grandma after marrying the ancestor. 」

Nie Xiaoqian saluted delicately, and then hugged her grandmother: "Grandma, it's not strange, I finally got free to come back. 」

Grandma looked at the red yarn on Nie Xiaoqian's body, her eyes flashed, and she said, "When Xiaoqian got married that day, grandma wanted to say that red clothes are more advantageous to you than white clothes. Is this what the ancestor picked for you? Or does the ancestor have a good eye. 」

Nie Xiaoqian said in her heart that you can't help but despise the ancestor too much, the ancestor is not close to women, how can you waste your mind on this. It's just that when this is said, grandma will never believe it.

She raised her sleeves and tilted her head, as if ashamed, and said, "Where does Grandma want to go? 」

When she said this, she made her grandmother confirm her guess.

Grandma clapped her hands happily: "Although this marriage has a little twists and turns, fortunately, my little Qian is angry. 」

It was rumored before that the Black Mountain Ancestor was no longer good, so she believed the lie that I don't know who had spread it, and the marriage that had been discussed was almost abandoned halfway. Although she immediately sent Xiaoqian over after learning that the ancestor was safe, she was always worried that the ancestor would hold a grudge against the matter.

Fortunately, Old Ancestor didn't do much to investigate.

She looked at Nie Xiaoqian with relieved eyes: "Among so many of my daughters, you are still the most caring. When you leave, my heart will be empty. 」

Nie Xiaoqian said, "I naturally know that my grandmother loves me the most. 」

Grandma asked, "Does the ancestor know about your return?"

"Grandma doesn't know, it was the ancestor who asked me to come back, and the ancestor asked me to take my bones to the mountain. 」

She said ambiguously, and grandma thought that she was taking the bones to the ancestor.

Grandma has long been mentally prepared for this, after all, for such a thousand-year-old demon, of course, the person next to the pillow must be controlled by herself. I held the bones in my hand before, just in case Xiaoqian was dissatisfied with marrying the Black Mountain Ancestor and didn't want to marry her, which ruined her big thing.

However, Grandma did not agree immediately, but said, "Good Xiaoqian, you accompany Grandma in Lanruo Temple for a few days, Grandma misses you, and it is not too late to bring the heavy bones with you when you leave." 」

Nie Xiaoqian: "Even if Grandma drives me away, I won't leave. 」

Grandma was completely relieved.

Lanruo Temple was lively, but the deepest part of Nie Xiaoqian's eyes was always cold.

For these demon slaves and ghost servants on the mountain who don't remember to eat, Qiao Heng is really a little distressed.

He thinks that he is much more lenient than the real old demon of Montenegro, he has always been good at managing the emotions he expresses, and he will never casually punish his subordinates for some inconsequential trivial things, let alone take people's cultivation and swallow their souls.

But obviously, the demons and ghosts on the mountain will not change their temperament because of his leniency and become a good gentleman who stresses five stresses and four beauties.

Qiao Heng thought about it for a while, and simply ordered them to recite Buddhist scriptures all day long until they repented and reformed.

After hearing this, Hu Niangzi couldn't help laughing.

But after laughing, she felt that something was wrong, and she saw that the expression on the ancestor's face seemed to be serious.

She had been watching it for a long time, and the ancestor looked at her suspiciously.

Hu Niangzi exclaimed, "But Ancestor, the demons and ghosts in this mountain have always been at odds with Buddhism, and they will probably only disobey the yin and the yang. 」

Qiao Heng also knew this: "It doesn't matter what they think, at least I'm still here, they can only be honest

Ground ginseng Buddha chanting scriptures. 」

He had long since discovered that the farther away he was from the mountain, the weaker his control over the important things on the mountain. It's not an ethereal conceptual sense of control, but a real ability to manipulate it into a puppet in its hands, or should it be said that the genius of the old demon of Montenegro.

So when he said this, he really commanded them to read the scriptures day and night until they came to their understanding.

Hu Niangzi really couldn't find the slightest sign of joking on the face of the ancestor, and the uneasiness that had been hidden in her heart when she hadn't returned to the mountain surged up again.

After returning to her room, Mrs. Hu frowned slightly. She was not only afraid of the old ancestor's indifference, violence, and moodiness, but also irritated that she couldn't understand the old ancestor's current thoughts.

A long time ago, there was a rumor on the mountain that this lonely mountain was the mortal fade of the ancestor when he stepped into the cultivation. These demons and ghosts living in the mountains are born because of the mountains, and they are enlightened because of the mountains, just like climbing vines that live because of big trees, and they all rely on the breath of the ancestors to live. The Evil Spring Yin Acupoint, which they regarded as a treasure, was nothing more than an abandoned thing that had inadvertently escaped from the Ancestor's cultivation.

But rumors are just rumors, and no one dares to ask the ancestor if this is really the case.

But she remembered one thing.

Probably more than 100 years ago, there was a beast demon who caused an incident in the name of the ancestor of Montenegro. The beast demon claimed to be under the command of the ancestor, and he was quite appreciated by the ancestor.

When the Ancestor learned of this, he said contemptuously, "How can you appreciate a silk seed that is not even as good as a fly with a tail?"

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this rumor might be true.

If the Ancestor wanted them to do something, a thought would be enough.

Hu Niangzi sighed.

Little by little, the sun hid into its shape, and the sky gradually darkened. Whenever this happens, it indicates that it is time for the mountain monsters to be active again.

But this day was different.

As soon as the time came, many powerful ghosts and monsters seemed to hear the sound of a clear pipa in their ears.

Then it was as if an invisible force had restrained their souls, and the familiar and terrifying demonic power had taken control of their bodies. They were horrified to hear their mouths reciting Buddhist scriptures, but their bodies did not react at all as they struggled.

This scripture is a genuine Buddhist scripture, and the scripture flows through the mouth and tongue, as if boiling oil in the mouth.

After reciting the Buddhist scriptures several times, a powerful ghost actually dispersed into a pure aura in place after a scream.

There is a tiger demon who controls ghosts, and every time he recites a Buddhist scripture, there is one less ghost around him. In the end, the aura of the entire demon withered, and it could no longer maintain its human form, and its body shape continued to change between tigers and humans.

"Mrs. Hu, what's wrong on the mountain?" a fox girl asked.

The person who spoke was a good sister that Hu Niangzi had met before, this fox girl fell in love with a scholar, but unfortunately she was recognized by a monk, and her cultivation was lost. After asking the ancestors, Mrs. Hu took the other party to the mountain for refuge.

As a result, before Hu Niangzi could catch up with her little sisters, she left the mountain with her ancestors.

Since this fox girl suffered under the hands of the monks, she has never seen the monk again, let alone heard anyone chanting Buddha.

"Didn't the monks attack the mountain. She asked in a panic.

Hu Niangzi explained: "Don't be afraid, this is the monster and ghost on the mountain that has made the ancestor angry, and the ancestor is punishing them. Don't worry, you are not a monster on the mountain, and the ancestor will not punish you. 」

But she herself is a red fox in the forest, and Mrs. Hu broke out in a cold sweat.

When Mrs. Hu went to ask to see the ancestor, she saw that the ancestor was holding a pen and ink to depict a statue of a goddess with wonderful sounds.

She didn't dare to open her mouth to disturb, so she stood aside.

She sat on a lotus flower with a pipa in her arms and looked at the worldly beings outside the painting peacefully. When a little cinnabar is finally brushed on the lips of the goddess, the whole painting seems to come to life, and the corners of his lips are softened with a smile.

Hu Niangzi said softly, "I know that the ancestor blames the ghosts on the mountain for being restless, but now that the punishment has been punished, the ancestor still receives the supernatural powers

bar. 」

She didn't kindly intercede for them, but she was just trying to figure out the ancestor's intentions. Could it be that the ancestor really wants to believe in Buddhism from now on?

Qiao Heng put down his pen: "I can manage it for a while, but I can't manage it for a lifetime. If you don't solve it all at once, you will get into trouble in the future, and it will be too late. 」

He really didn't want to care about the bad debts left by the old demon of Montenegro.

In fact, he can directly order them not to cause trouble from now on, regulate their words and deeds with super-modern morality, and manipulate their words and deeds like a puppet show. But once he leaves the mountain, the demonic power that controls their bodies and souls will become weaker and weaker, and he can't spend his whole life on this mountain in order to maintain this demonic power.

In that case, it's better to do it once and for all.

Qiao Heng sensed Mrs. Hu's uneasiness, and he said, "Don't be afraid, I won't even leave the only person to talk to me. 」

Mrs. Hu was so frightened by these words that the cold hairs on her neck stood up, and she asked, "Didn't Old Ancestor want to kill the ghosts on this mountain?"

Qiao Heng glanced at Mrs. Hu in surprise.

"How could it be? If there is someone who is already dedicated to goodness, or who is willing to turn back after being influenced by Buddhist scriptures, this supernatural power is useless to them. 」

He stared at the Hu Niangzi for a while, then lowered his head and gently rolled up the statue of the Heavenly Maiden of Miaoyin that he had just drawn.

When he first crossed over to this body

What fills the nose is a rich bloody breath, what catches the eye is the white bones of the unjust souls hidden in the corner, and what I hear in my ears is the screaming and crying of the heavens and the earth without a door.

This was his first impression of the world. So at that moment, he described himself as a "monster". No one can survive here except monsters.

However, despite the fact that he uses the body of a monster, from beginning to end, everything he thinks and does is from the standpoint of "human".

The joys and sorrows of people are not connected, and there is a moat between humans and demons.

Hu Niangzi said in her heart: How many clean monsters can there be on this mountain? This is simply an impossible condition. How many monsters and monsters will survive on this mountain?

Didn't the ancestor know the consequences of doing this?

Maybe.

Even if she didn't really intercede for them, but now thinking about this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little creepy.

She suddenly had a bold idea: "Ancestor, don't you like ......?"

"What?" Qiao Heng glanced up at her.

Hu Niangzi didn't dare to say her guess.

What's even more absurd is that at that moment, when she looked at the ancestor's eyes that were faintly full of Buddha nature, perhaps it was an illusion, and she actually sensed a compassion brewing in peace.

At this time, Mrs. Hu finally reacted, and the ancestor really thought that this was a good way for everyone.

For a moment, she couldn't tell whether he was merciful or cruel.
