The next morning, Su Ning and the sisters freshen up and change their clothes, and come to the restaurant in front of the hostel to eat.

Qingtong had been waiting for them in his seat for a long time.When he saw that Bai Xian hadn't come, he walked up to Su Ning with a smile on his face.He took out his clothes from his sleeve pockets and presented them to Su Ning with both hands.

"Sister Su Ning, this is a thank you gift to thank you for taking care of me all along." Qingtong said sweetly.

What he was holding in his hand was a bird woven from green bamboo. Qingtong suddenly gave a gift, Su Ning didn't think much about anything else, and took it after thanking him.

"Thank you."

At this time, Bai Xian also came, and when he saw Qingtong and Su Ning talking and laughing, he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart.

"What is this for?" Bai Xian put on a stinky face, Su Ning hurriedly explained:

"Qingtong sent this bird to me."

Bai Xian glanced at the bamboo bird in Su Ning's hand, and then picked up the bird without saying anything.

Qingtong smiled and asked innocently: "Bai Gongzi, do you like it too, or I'll take you over to buy another one later."

Bai Xian snorted coldly, he rudely tugged at the bird's wings, almost tearing it down, Qingtong didn't seem to care, just said lightly: "Bai Gongzi, you can't break it."

Bai Xian didn't notice anything unusual about the little bird for the time being, he shook the little bird, and asked vigilantly, "Why are you so kind, and suddenly give Su Ning a gift."

Qingtong blinked her innocent eyes and replied, "Sister Su Ning has taken good care of me along the way, so I naturally have to express my gratitude."

Bai Xian ruthlessly dismantled the stage for him: "That's a nice thing, the money you paid for this little bird was not given by Su Ning."

Qingtong smirked and confused.Su Ning hurriedly came out to play the role of He Mud.She took the bamboo bird in Bai Xian's hand.Said softly:

"Alright, sit down and have breakfast, we have to hurry."

Only then did Bai Xian obediently sit opposite her.Qingtong watched silently as Su Ning put the bamboo-woven birds into the "Ruyi Bag" on her waist.And the one hanging next to the Ruyi Bag was the Qianling Bagua Mirror.

Qingtong smiled indifferently, and the light in his eyes flashed.

After leaving the hostel, the group continued to catch the car.

After more than ten days of trekking, Su Ning and his entourage were finally able to arrive at the "Yuquan Mountain" on the outskirts of Beijing on 14 July.

There are several small towns under Yuquan Mountain, because the next day is the Zhongyuan Festival, the town is burning incense at this time, every household burns paper, these towns are close to the Baolin Temple on Yuquan Mountain, the people are influenced by the blessings of Lingshan, and they are always good.

Bai Xian and the other demons felt uncomfortable after entering this place because of the clash of demon qi and Buddha qi.

Bai Xian didn't feel at ease and let her act alone.At first, she insisted on accompanying Su Ning.Su Ning couldn't resist him.Let him follow him up the mountain.As a result, Bai Xian didn't reach the mountain gate.He was so dizzy by the Buddha's anger that he almost fainted.Su Ning hurriedly sent him back to the bottom of the mountain.Told Huan'er and Qianwa to wait for good students to take care of him.Only then did he set off again.

Su Ning did not use the dance technique as a sign of respect, but walked up the mountain.

On the side of the road, you can often see white steamed buns, fruits, incense, and ashes of paper money.

Su Ning walked for a while, and suddenly stopped, and she saw a mother and son lying on their stomachs next to a black and stinky meal on the side of the road.

The mother and son were in rags, unkempt, yellow-skinned, and they were lying on the ground, struggling to stretch their necks, trying to eat the pile.

Su Ning was shocked, she hurriedly said something to stop: "This can't be eaten."

The mother and son turned a deaf ear, and continued to arch the rancid food with their mouths like dogs.

"Sister-in-law, you can eat this." Su Ning said, but the other party still ignored her, Su Ning couldn't do anything, and handed the dry food to the child, and the child didn't even take it, they didn't even look at her.

Su Ning saw that the kid finally swallowed a mouthful of food, his throat seemed to be very narrow, and it was very difficult to swallow.

Su Ning was so anxious that she didn't know what to do. she looked left and right, hoping to find someone else to help.

It's just that they didn't seem to notice the poor mother and son, and they all walked past as if nothing had happened.

Su Ning only realized that something was wrong at this time.She looked intently.Finally, she realized where the question was.。 It's daylight, but there is no shadow of the mother and son.

They weren't human at all.Su Ning was startled again.After the mother and son ate the rotten food, they slumped and walked away.Finally, they disappeared into the lush woods.

Su Ning stood still for a moment, and thousands of thoughts surged through her heart.

The mother and son should be ghosts.Su Ning guessed.The Midyear Festival is also known as the "Ghost Festival".Legend has it that this day is the day when hell opens.The deceased ancestors can go home for reunion.So the people should set up a dojo.Put steamed buns for lonely souls and wild ghosts to eat.

The spiritual power of Su Ning has reached a certain height, and it is often possible to see some things that mortals cannot see with the naked eye without using the "Clear Eyes and Clear Heart Mantra".

Su Ning used to seek Taoism in Qiongke City, and I saw some "Zhiyi" that recorded strange things in the folk. It mentioned that after death, people go to different places, some will go to the underworld, some will quickly reincarnate, and return to the world again, and some will die unjustly or those who cannot get excess, will stay in the world, and become lonely ghosts.

For example, the resentful spirits she saw in the mansion of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and the mother and son just now.

Su Ning remembered the "Six Paths Vajra Mantra" she learned when she helped the Marquis of Dingyuan.It is said that this spell can save the evil ghosts.She used it to surpass the animal spirits is quite effective.I don't know if it can also have this effect on human ghosts.

Su Ning followed the winding stone steps and finally came to Baoling Temple.

In the temple, but see the treasure pavilion treasure building, the pearl palace Ruique, the auspicious light five colors, the rui haze thousand heavy, and smell the Buddha name, the wooden fish bronze bell, the holy and solemn, simple and melodious.

In front of the Emperor's Palace, there was a smoke of incense, and it was densely packed with worshippers, and they each offered incense or tribute, and their mouths were whispering and chanting, some praying for their own blessings and longevity, some for the ancestors to eliminate their sins, some with the old and the young, and some came alone.

Su Ning carried the letterhead entrusted to her by Bai Ying in her arms, and she cautiously walked through the crowd, hoping to find a monk in the temple to help spread the word.

Su Ning searched all the way from the Tianwang Hall along the Jizo Hall and the Medicine Master Hall to finally see a temple priest wearing a silk robe in the Daxiong Treasure Palace.

Su Ning hurriedly walked over and asked the monk about it, and the monk also replied with a salute and said "Amitabha".

Su Ning asked:

"Master, the Minnu is entrusted by a friend of Master Zhihai to forward a letter to him, can you please ask the Master to convey it for the Minnu?"

The monk said, "The female benefactor is preaching the Amitabha Sutra in the Dharma Hall, and the donor can go to the Dharma Hall to find him."

Su Ning thanked the monk and went straight to the Dharma Hall.

Crossing the vermilion threshold, Su Ning came to the Dharma Hall, and it was also full of good men and women who came to listen to the scriptures.

Su Ning quietly found a corner, and knelt down to listen to the scriptures quietly.

Master Zhihai sat on the altar, he was about fifty years old, he was dressed in a gold-threaded robe, his face was white and beardless, his ears were hanging down his shoulders, his eyes were like spring, and he was amiable.

Master Zhihai preached the "Bon Sutra" without hurrying or hurrying, and he spoke in simple terms, and the believers listened to it with relish, and they were fascinated.

Su Ning also listened attentively.Last time in the Hou Ye's mansion, she listened to the "Dizang Sutra".Mainly about the law of cause and effect.The "Bon Sutra" is to cultivate filial piety and encourage the disciples of the Buddha as the will.

Some of the believers were so engrossed in hearing that they wept and wept bitterly.

Master Zhihai's lecture has been delayed for a while, and some believers have left one after another, and some have come forward to offer sesame oil money, and there are also those who humbly seek to learn from Master Zhihai.

Su Ning also offered a piece of silver, and she waited patiently on the side, until Master Zhihai finished answering the questions of the believers and was about to leave.

"Master Zhihai." Su Ning made an interrogation salute, Master Zhihai saluted back and called the Buddha's name, Su Ning took out the letterhead, presented it to him with both hands, and explained respectfully:

"Master, this is the Tu Shan Clan's White Shadow entrusted to you by the Minnu."

When Master Zhihai heard Bai Ying's name, his eyes lit up, and after he took the letter, he smiled kindly: "There is a labor almsgiving......

Before Su Ning read the letter, she also conveyed Bai Ying's message: "Mr. Bai said that he deeply regrets that he failed to complete his sentence, and he hopes that the mage will forgive him."

Master Zhihai clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha, my Buddha is merciful, the white shadow benefactor can wash his heart and change his face, change his evil and return to righteousness, cultivate benevolence and righteousness, accumulate virtue and goodness, and God has a spirit, and he will definitely be given another chance to reform himself."

Su Ning also folded her hands and said, "Amitabha, thank you, Master."

Master Zhihai also said: "Donor, tomorrow, this temple will hold the 'Bon Festival' flame opening ceremony on the Mengshan Mountain, and the donor can participate in it at that time."

Su Ning immediately agreed: "Thank you master for the point, the folk girl will definitely come to participate."

Su Ning respectfully said goodbye to Master Zhihai and went down the mountain along the road.

Before she knew it, it was evening, but when she saw the red wheel falling westward, the light had been closed, Su Ning met some villagers and lonely souls on the road, and most of those lonely souls passed by Su Ning's side quickly.

Su Ning walked for a while, and saw several old women standing in the forest, holding rice bags in their hands, and sprinkling rice in all directions while chanting mantras.
