At this time, they have walked to the open space in front of the palace gate, although the palace in front of them is not as graceful and gorgeous as in the portrait, but when you approach it, you will find that every brick and tile of it has been covered with traces of time, which is the expression of vitality, which the painter can not imagine and cannot depict, and can only be felt with the senses of the body. It exudes a dark and dreary smell, and if you close your eyes, you can even smell the damp and cold smell of the late autumn rainy season, which is due to the fact that the sun is not seen all year round.

"Do you still need air in hell?, do you still need air in your soul?" Looking at it, Luo Ying suddenly had this thought for some reason.

"Of course, there are not only ghosts in hell, such as Jizo-sama and Meng Po, they are not ghosts, they are all lives with blood. ”

"So, are there any youkai?"

"Yes, otherwise, how could a little fox sneak in? I heard others say that it is still an adult green fox. ”

Speaking of the green fox, Luo Ying immediately remembered that when she first met Meng Po, Meng Po had a jade pendant in the shape of a green fox hanging from her waist, but Luo Ying believed that Meng Po would not be a fox, let alone a thief. Besides, what treasure could be hidden in Jizo's dormitory, worth the little fox's adventure to rummage through all night?

"Is there any treasure in the Jizo?" she asked bluntly.

"There are a lot of treasures, but no one can know. ”

With that, the Grim Reaper pulled out an oval hand carved from black jade, and she held it and stopped cautiously in the center of the door. Luo Ying saw that in the middle of the decaying bronze door, there was a huge black snake head, the snake's eyes were red, the skin on the top of the head was uneven, the blood mouth was wide open, and the four sharp teeth seemed to be able to kill people at any time. The god of death put the jade plaque lying flat into the mouth of the snake, and the mouth of the snake slowly closed, and poured out the jade pendant again, and in an instant, the bronze door opened automatically.

With the sharp grinding sound of the copper door being opened, a gust of cold wind, carrying layers of red leaves on the ground, swirled from the courtyard and rushed towards him.

The smell of incense, mixed with the cold wind, exudes a cold breath, Luo Ying inhales sharply, and the tongue coating can't help but feel bitter. She stuck out her tongue and had an expression of bitterness that she couldn't say.

"This is Jizo's favorite Buddha incense, called 'water bamboo', if the fragrance is strong, it means that Jizo is set to rest in the temple today. ”

"Doesn't he often come back?"

"Yes, as long as it's not a break, no one can find him, and even if he's resting, he will inevitably be disturbed, aren't we going to disturb him now?"

The Grim Reaper said, "Don't look at the height of this building, in fact, it is only three floors, the first floor is the meditation house for burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, the second floor is the study and couch of the Jizo, and the third floor is the treasure pavilion." ”

"What counts as a treasure to be included in the Treasure Pavilion?"

"How do I know this, I haven't been able to go in and have a look until now!"

Can't you even go in?" Looking at the sad look of death, Luo Ying couldn't help but think, what kind of treasure is hidden in the treasure pavilion, I must go to see it in the future, she flattened her mouth and looked up at the pavilion in front of her divinely.

The house is clean and spotless. There is a sandalwood burner on each side of the altar, the incense mist is curling, refreshing, it seems that he has become accustomed to the bitter taste, Luo Ying feels that now all that is imprinted in his heart is the fragrance.

The two of them jumped up the wooden ladder on the left, and the furnishings on the second floor were greatly reduced, making it look empty and far away, with a much wider view. On the window side, Jizo is sitting on his lap, carefully flipping through the scriptures.

His back, glowing gray and yellow in the reflection of the wooden tools.

"Didn't they all say, 'Isn't Jizo not a Buddha?' Why does he still have to study the Dharma?" asked Luo Ying quietly.

"Don't speak. The Grim Reaper immediately made a silent gesture.

After Jizo had taken in the yellow scroll he pointed to, he put the book away and stood up. Although he did not turn around, he said to the two of them quite seriously, "If there is anything, let's go downstairs and talk about it!" and with that, he disappeared like a gust of wind.

Luo Ying followed the god of death and ran downstairs again, only to see that on the square table, a pot of hot tea had already been prepared, and in the tea cup, the green water was swaying, and there was a steaming hot mist.

"Please be seated!" Jizo gestured to sit down, looking generous and polite, quite sage-like.

Luo Ying saw Death sit down, so he sat beside her silently. The Grim Reaper said refreshedly: "I have submitted the work report, do you have anything else to instruct?"

"No, it's not bad. Jizo's voice was low, and his eyes were deep, so that there was no end in sight, as if there was no end.

"I came to you for something. Death paused, glanced at Luo Ying beside her, and then she said, "I want this girl to stay in hell." ”

"Because of what?" Jizo took a sip of tea, not looking at Luoying.

"Because, she refuses to go to reincarnation, and I can't convince her, so I can only come and beg you to let her stay. ”

"There are many people who don't want to be reincarnated every day, haven't you gone to Meng Po to see it? No one is destined to pay for other people's mistakes!"

"I know. Death lowered her head, her breathing a little strained, but she retorted righteously, "But isn't it my job to make their souls go better?

Seeing that the Grim Reaper was so stubborn, Jizo glanced at Luo Ying angrily, he really didn't understand what was so good about this little girl that he could let the Grim Reaper intercede for her. He put away the anger in his eyes and said gloomily: "The Treasure Pavilion has been coveted by demons many times recently, let her stay and help me guard it for the time being, if it is meritorious, I will arrange it." With that, he walked away, leaving only the cold air of the meditation house.

As soon as Jizo left, the Grim Reaper immediately jumped with joy like a kite with broken strings, and even Luoying had never seen her so excited.

"Hey, did you hear that? Jizo told you to stay and guard the Treasure Pavilion!"

"Isn't that boring?" Luo Ying was confused, looking at the Treasure Pavilion, is it the same as looking at the gate, she suddenly remembered Uncle Niu who used to watch the gate in the Bai family, so she pursed her mouth and looked at the god of death with concern.

"Where are you bored, this is the first step for you to settle down in hell, if you want to find your husband Abao, you have to think long-term, do you know?

"But I'm watching here every day, even if I wait until the earth is barren, I can't wait for Bao!"

"Who said, I haven't even entered the Treasure Pavilion, it can be seen how important it is, if you really make a meritorious service, maybe Jizo will take the initiative to help you solve the problem!"

Luo Ying looked at her eyes earnestly, her lips squirmed, and she was a little tempted.

"Of course, you can work here well, if you don't go to reincarnation and don't have an ordination, you will soon become a lonely ghost and be bullied. ”

Luo Ying knew that the Grim Reaper did not scare her, and she sometimes felt that her soul was fluttering, because it did not intersect with this space. With a job here, and a connection with other people, there is no need to be a lonely ghost, she nodded, and agreed as if she didn't understand.
