85. Eighty-fifth talisman
I don't know if it was because the air on the mountain was too good, or the surrounding environment was too quiet, Zhou Tong and Ling Yuan lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
The two of them were covered with a quilt, and one person occupied half of the country, and no one crossed the line.
They all slept very deeply, and in the dream, Zhou Tong had a feeling that he was not awake, he could clearly know that he was dreaming, but he was trapped in the dream and couldn't get out.
This dream is very weird.
The heavens and the earth were grayish.
Mountains and rivers collapsed, walls collapsed, trees toppled, corpses littered the fields, and heavy rain poured down.
It's like the end of the world.
He and Ling Yuan stood among the corpses, facing each other.
Ling Yuan's face was not full of emotion, he was as calm as a lifeless puppet, and his dark eyes were full of indifference.
The next moment, the frost in Ling Yuan's hand pierced Zhou Tong's heart, piercing Zhou Tong's chest, blood flowed out along the blade, staining Zhou Tong's clothes red, but he looked at Ling Yuan calmly, there was no joy or sadness in those eyes.
The dream ended at this point, he opened his eyes suddenly, only to find that at the same time, Ling Yuan had also opened his eyes.
The two of them immediately glanced at each other, with a little panic in their eyes, Ling Yuan was even very unstable, his chest rose and fell sharply, he suddenly sat up suddenly, twisted his body and pressed Zhou Tong's shoulder, looked down at Zhou Tong and said, "That's not me." β
ββ¦β¦ Well. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "I know." β
"Really...... Not me. Ling Yuan looked at Zhou Tong seriously, and a lot of words were eagerly pouring out, but he was stuck in his throat, and it hurt so much that it seemed that even breathing had become extremely difficult, "It's not me." β
Zhou Tong was emotional, looking at Ling Yuan's serious and urgent appearance, his long hair slanted down and hit his side, the soft touch on his cheek almost scratched Zhou Tong's heart, Zhou Tong whispered: "Okay, it's just a dream, what are you afraid of?"
"The only wrong thing I've done in my life is to make him. Ling Yuan said in a deep voice, "The only thing that is wrong. β
"It looks like he's really scary and has so much influence on you. β
"No-" Ling Yuan blurted out, and then after a pause, he pursed his lips and said, "I'm not afraid of him, but ......"
"But what?" Zhou Tong looked at Ling Yuan, his eyes full of inquiry.
"But......" Ling Yuan stammered, but after a long time there was no result, he simply gave up and continued to look at Zhou Tong in silence.
The two looked at each other, Ling Yuan felt it when he looked at it, he slowly sank down, got close to Zhou Tong, and when he was about to get closer, he heard Zhou Tong suddenly say, "Are you because you think my qi is delicious?"
Ling Yuan was confused, this is for sure, Zhou Tong's qi is indeed delicious, but he didn't say that, he vaguely sensed that something would definitely happen if he said this, so he followed his heart and said, "Yes...... But it's not just because of this ......"
Zhou Tong: "What's the reason for that?"
Ling Yuan: "...... I don't want to eat other people's anger. β
Zhou Tong: "So?"
Ling Yuan: "......"
Ling Yuan was forced by Zhou Tong not to speak, the two stopped in a very awkward position, Zhou Tong's eyes were shining, the moonlight shone in from the window, hitting Zhou Tong's side face, the face that was always smiling became extraordinarily bright and sultry tonight, Ling Yuan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Zhou Tong saw his rolling Adam's apple, suddenly stepped forward and gently bit Ling Yuan's lip.
Ling Yuan: "......"
Zhou Tong laughed softly: "It's stupid." β
Ling Yuan roared silently in his heart, lowered his head and bit Zhou Tong's lip fiercely, just when he couldn't help but reach out and touch Zhou Tong's clothes, the sound of chanting suddenly came from outside, and the sound of more than a dozen lamas chanting together clearly entered the house, and the two of them suddenly stiffened.
Ling Yuan's brows furrowed, and he glared out of the window rather dissatisfied, eager to swing out with a palm and kill all those people, at this moment, a little novice knocked on the door, and the boy's crisp voice came into the room: "Master, please get up and meditate." β
As soon as Ling Yuan exerted his strength, he directly pinched out a few cracks in the pillar at the head of the bed, Zhou Tong laughed happily, and he shouted, "I'll come later." β
Ling Yuan said, "It's not dawn yet. β
"Almost. Zhou Tong got up and straightened his clothes and said, "Buddha Gate Holy Land." β
"I don't believe it, I don't have a Buddha in my heart. β
"Then what do you believe?" Zhou Tong asked jokingly.
"I believe in you. Ling Yuan said seriously.
Zhou Tong: "......" When did this wood learn to speak so well?
As soon as the two of them went out, there was a small novice who led them to the front hall to sit in meditation, in the front hall, the golden elephant of the Great Day Rulai Mahavi Lujana stood high behind, the right hand of the Eight Blessings Treasure Wheel, the left hand of the Vajra Bell, the treasure is solemn, the momentum is magnificent.
There are 17 monks sitting below, all with their eyes slightly closed, their hands folded, and chanting Buddhist scriptures in their mouths.
The rest of the Buddhas with poor hearts padded futons outside the main hall to chant.
The sky was just dawning, and the room with oil lamps was solemn.
Zhou Tong was invited to the upper seat, and he was sitting under the big day, which made him feel cramped and uneasy, and the eldest disciple looked at Zhou Tong after performing the Buddha ceremony. Zhou Tong had previously audited a Buddhist class and knew the most basic posture of zazen, and he could fool around by learning the postures of other monks in the temple.
As for what kind of scripture he recited, with a "Great Nikkei" in hand, he can make do with it.
While meditating, he was thinking about finding a suitable opportunity to implement his plan.
After the morning meditation, it is time for breakfast.
As soon as Zhou Tong and the others came out of the hall, they saw Tian Xiaozhen yawning over, Tian Xiaozhen stared at him in a daze and didn't wake up, and said, "Senior brother, I don't know what's going on, I feel very tired, and my head is still a little dizzy." β
"Really?" Zhou Tongguan Tian Xiaozhen's anger on the top of his head seemed to be a little lighter, but it was not a big deal, like his face when he was sick, he touched Tian Xiaozhen's forehead, it was very hot, and said, "You have a fever." β
"......Sure enough," Tian Xiaozhen touched her cheeks and muttered, "I feel like I have a fever, and my body is weak and weak...... Senior brother, do you think there can be medicine here?"
"It's fine. Zhou Tong said, "I'll boil some runic water for you to drink in a while." β
"Good. Tian Xiaozhen smiled, "I haven't drunk this home remedy yet." β
Zhou Tong called someone to help Tian Xiaozhen back to the room, and specially told Tian Xiaozhen to have a good rest.
As a result, as soon as Tian Xiaozhen left, the girl who stole things at home appeared.
Zhou Tong saw that the yang energy on the top of her head was vigorous, and he was a little suspicious that Tian Xiaozhen's illness was caused by her, but it was just an intuition and there was no conclusive evidence.
When the girl saw Zhou Tong, her eyes were covered with black bags under her eyes, but her whole person was scorching, and she said: "Hello master, my name is Ayima, thank you for letting me read the Buddhist scriptures yesterday. β
"Where. Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Do you want to eat something?"
Ayima smiled embarrassedly: "Okay, I'm really a little hungry." β
Ayima followed Zhou Tong into the cafeteria, and immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people, Ayima's theft had already caused their displeasure, and they fought with them in the temple yesterday, and they didn't have a good impression of Ayima.
Ayima didn't mind their gaze, and sat down with Zhou Tong generously, and was very polite when she sat down, watching Zhou Tong sit down first before she sat down, and Zhou Tong moved her chopsticks first before she moved.
These small details did not escape Zhou Tong's eyes, and he became more and more fond of Ayima, and said a few more words to her during the meal. Ling Yuan ate expressionlessly, a little unhappy.
The two of them talked about Buddhist rituals, and later, almost Ayima was talking about his views on Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist rituals, and the monks were fascinated by it, and they all looked at Ayima's smart eyes, as if they were listening to the master's lectures, and they forgot to put down their chopsticks while holding their jobs.
Zhou Tong did it on purpose.
He deliberately guided Ayima to talk about Buddhist rituals among the monks, precisely in order to let Ayima have a place to live here after he left, and if Ayima changed his mind and was unwilling to stay here, he could at least get some preferential treatment from the monks.
The capable are the best, and it is the same in which circle you change to.
Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the eldest disciple rushed out of the door when he heard this, and when he saw the two disciples hurrying over, he asked, "What's wrong?"
"Master Lothar. The monk gasped, apparently running all the way, and he grabbed the sleeve of his eldest disciple Lothar and shouted, "Go and see Zaba, he, he-"
"What's wrong with him?" Lothar was much calmer, and he asked the other person, "What happened to Zaba?"
The man folded together and made a Buddha salute, stepped forward, stretched out his hand to cover up, and Losa, who understood it, put his ear to it, "Really?"
"Yes. β
Lothar's face changed, and he hurriedly said to them, "Take me to see it." β
Hearing this, Lothar followed them elsewhere and did not return until it was time for breakfast.
Zhou Tong didn't have much to do in the temple, so he visited the temple all the way.
This temple is not big, there are more than 30 monks and monks living in total, and it takes less than an hour to finish, he is turning in the small garden, and suddenly sees a strange wisp of evil qi floating in the air, Zhou Tong followed the source of the evil qi to find it, and finally found the backyard where the junior monks rested.
Several monks were huddled together, probing their heads to look into the room, and Zhou Tong stood outside, looking at the closed door.
It was from inside the door that the evil breath came.
The screams came from inside the door, and Zhou Tong pulled a small novice and asked, "What's wrong in the house?"
"Ah, Guru. Several little novices were busy performing the Buddha ceremony, for fear of being blamed, and they didn't dare to speak, Zhou Tong smiled and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, what's going on inside?"
Zhou Tong smiled kindly, and several little novices let go of their worries a little, they glanced at each other, and one of the little novices said, "Senior Brother Zaba has been entangled by demons." β
"What?" Zhou Tong didn't understand for a while.
The little novice said in fear, "Iβwe can't talk about it...... Guru, Guru go and ask Master Lothar!" After saying that, a few of the little novices ran away.
The door was opened at this time, and Lothar walked out, and he saluted Zhou Tong, saying, "I hope that Master can surpass Dhaba." β
"I'll see. Zhou Tong stepped into the house, and there was a strong rancid smell mixed with the fragrance, forming a very strange and disgusting smell, Zhou Tong endured the smell and walked to the side of the bed to see that a monk was lying on the bed, struggling in pain.
He lay naked on the bed, blood running down his body, and the flesh on his body was torn off in many pieces, barely an inch intact.
He groaned and called out to the Buddha, shouting loudly to relieve the pain.
Next to it was a basin of water, red with blood, and on another tray lay a few pieces of freshly cut carrion, and next to it lay a razor, the edge of which was still bloodshot.
Zhou Tong understood the current situation at a glance, but in just a moment, new carrion grew from the place where the carrion had been stripped off of the person's body, and the pungent stench suddenly mixed with the smell of blood.
It was from these carrion that the evil qi came out, and the carrion was beating on Zaba's body as if it was alive, as if it was full of large and small blood vessels, and it was extremely vigorous.
"He's under a curse. Zhou Tong said, "Do you know the source?"
Lothar shook her head blankly, and Zhou Tong asked the others, "Who of you are familiar with him on weekdays?"
Several monks glanced at each other, and it wasn't long before the two of them stood up tremblingly.
Zhou Tong asked, "Where has he been? How did he get this curse, it should be within five days." β
"......" The two monks clasped their hands together, hung their heads and closed their eyes tightly, so frightened that they couldn't say a word, and they kept trembling.
"If you have concealed it, if he dies, then you have committed sins and entered reincarnation, and you must know better than me where the guilty person is going. Zhou Tong warned in a deep voice.
The two monks shook violently and hurriedly said, "Go...... He went to Mount Agha. β
"Agashan?!" the eldest disciple Lothar was furious, he glared at the two people fiercely, and said, "It is a forbidden place, and I warned you not to go there from the moment you entered the temple!
"Master Lothar atons for his sins!" the two monks knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
Zhou Tong said: "What's in Aga Mountain?"
"It used to be the place where the evil monk Mahassura fell into the sky, and it is said that the spirits of the dead gathered there, and it was the birthplace of all evil. Lothar explained to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong said: "What did he meet there and what did he bring back?"
The two disciples recalled the incident five days ago and said, "We didn't mean to go to Aga Mountain that day, Dhaba said that there were no demons hidden in Aga Mountain, but some were Aga Jade, he confused us and wanted to take us to the mountain, when we got to the mountain, we got lost, and accidentally walked to a cave, and there was a dried corpse sitting at the door of the cave, and it was holding a relic in its hand......"
The other monk continued, "The relic is black, and we both have something strange about it, but Dzhapa thinks that it is an auspicious image given to them by the Buddha, and they want to take the relic with them...... When we refused, we kept persuading Zhaba, and Zhaba didn't take the relic with him. β
"He really didn't take it with him?" Zhou Tong asked rhetorically.
"I don't know......," the monk said in a trembling voice, "halfway he said that he had a string of Buddhist beads that had fallen, and he went back to look for it, and we waited for him for half an hour before he came back......"
Lothar's face turned pale.
Zhou Tong looked around, walked into the room, his eyes fell on a box on the bookcase, he opened the box, and sure enough, he found a relic inside, Zhou Tong took the relic out, showed it to the rest of the people, and asked, "Is this one?"
"Yes. The two monks looked up in fear and nodded.
Zhou Tong said: "This is not a relic. Zhou Tong threw the fake relic on the ground and immediately shattered into slag, "It's just a parasite." There is a ghast on it, which you have brought back, and his curse has been transferred to this man. β
"Is Zaba still saved?" asked Lothar pleadingly.
"Find the ghast and be saved. "But it's a bit tricky, he's very good at hiding his tracks." β
After Zhou Tong returned to the house, he wrote a talisman and handed it to Lothar, asking Lothar to distribute it to the monks, Ling Yuan said: "It's really funny that you give the Taoist talisman to some monks. β
"Whether it's Taoism or Buddhism, what is easy to use is Zhengjia. Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I guess they don't recognize the words on the spell, so it's okay." β
At night, the night watchmen walk in the small secluded garden.
During the day, the news of Zhaba spread word by ten, and almost all the monks of the temple knew about the invasion of the temple by a ghast, and the guards at night were even more cautious, carrying oil lamps and weapons, and carefully and carefully checking the situation in the garden.
Suddenly, there was a movement in the grass, and the two monks who were on night patrol immediately stopped vigilantly, and one of them raised his weapon and shone the oil lamp close to the grass for a moment, and the blades of grass showed a grayish yellow-green color under the reflection of the oil lamp, and the leaves seemed to have just grown, and the stems and veins were clear.
The two monks looked at it and were relieved.
One of them said, "Don't scare yourself, that master doesn't look like it's real, it's so young, it's idle all day long, and it's not as good as that girl." β
The other person immediately said with concern: "I think so, I doubt that there is really the master's will, the talisman sent today does not look like an orthodox spiritual object, and many people have lost it." β
"Hey, I lost it too, did you lose it?"
"I, I, I, I lost ......," he said hesitantly, looking at the other party tacitly, reaching into his pocket and grabbing the yellow talisman given by Zhou Tong.
However, just as the two of them were about to walk with their lanterns, a flash of yellow jumped out of the grass, and the man pounced with great speed, knocking both of them to the ground at the same time, and then grabbed one of them by the throat like a wild beast, and quickly leaned over and bit it, taking the major artery of one of them.
"Ahh
The two monks were so frightened that they crawled from the ground to get up, and just about to run, they saw that the monster seemed to be a monk in the temple, and they couldn't help but stop, and one of them took a closer look with a lamp, and asked, "It seems to be Ye He." β
"Goo-" A strange low roar came from his ears, and the hairs on the man's back stood on end, and as soon as he turned the direction of the lamp, he saw his companion who had been cruising with him grinning and rushing at him.
"Ah!!" screamed, not from him, but from the monster that pounced on him, the monk subconsciously grabbed the yellow talisman in his pocket and held it high above his head, and the monster that touched the yellow talisman screamed and retreated, manipulating the monk's body and slamming into the tree, and suddenly his head broke and bled out.
The corpse of the monk fell to the ground along the trunk of the tree, and the living one was stunned with fright, and after a moment, he cried out, "Helpβ"
The moment he shouted, the backyard was in chaos.
The possessed monk circled around the small courtyard, and the other monks surrounded him with torches, chanting Buddhist scriptures to expel evil spirits, and the monster was stimulated by the Buddhist scriptures to become more and more frenzied, and the sharp pain in his body made his eyes red.
"Roarβ" A beast-like roar made the monk who was chanting the scripture tremble, and at this moment, he seized the opportunity to pounce on the place where there was no yellow talisman breath.
At that moment, a figure rushed out.
Ayima hugged the monk who was leaned over by the monster and pressed him to the ground hard, Ayima's strength was terrifying, more domineering than the monster in the rage, and he directly twisted his backhand mercilessly, unloading one of the monster's arms.
"Do you want to make noise? With another effort, Ayima removed his other arm, and the monster that had lost both arms was ridden under Ayima, staring at Ayima but unable to move.
Ayima looked down at the monster condescendingly, pursed his lips and snorted coldly, the monk's eyes suddenly became confused, and he fell to the ground unconscious, Ayima felt as if his consciousness had been hit by something, and there was a momentary blur, and his mind was suddenly confused, and his consciousness was squeezed out of his mind, and something squeezed in instead.
"Hum!ma!??!
"Go. Zhou Tong snorted lightly, the rune paper came out of his hand, and in the ethereal mid-air, the flames of the fire phoenix spit out, burning the fleeing ghast to the slightest, and by the firelight, the great miracle of the Buddha Mother appeared behind Ayima, and Bai Tara smiled quietly with flowers, and sprinkled the rain on the monks.
"You're putting all the credit on her alone. Ling Yuan said, "Some of them didn't take you seriously, and the spells were torn. β
"Hmm. Zhou Tong smiled and nodded, "What I want is that they don't take me seriously." β
