Chapter Twenty-Four: A Chinese Ghost Story
After searching the inn, Fahai found mountains of grain, many of which had not yet been processed.
"Prajna Pa is empty. ”
He pinched the mantra and whispered the incantation, and the grain floated up from the ground and flew out the window.
In the whole Nan'an town, it rained a valley.
Many yellow-faced and thin-skinned people heard the noise, and opened the door curiously, and saw countless ears of wheat falling from the sky.
"What a miracle!"
Some praise the gods.
"Thank you to the Bodhisattvas of great compassion for saving the suffering. ”
Some people are grateful to the Bodhisattva.
Pushing open the door of the inn, the old woman stood stupidly in place, and Fahai said gently: "Old man, look, I said that I will find a way to deal with food, right? Xiaohu is still so small, he is home alone, and it is not safe. ”
When the old woman saw Fahai come out, her legs weakened and she wanted to kneel, "Thank you, Master. ”
The others didn't know, and she still didn't know, where did this batch of food come from?
Fahai hurriedly hugged the old man, and said with a somewhat apologetic expression: "You're welcome, this place is plagued by demons, and it is my duty to kill demons and demons, in the end, it's my duty to let you suffer for so long, don't blame me." ”
The old woman tried several times, but she couldn't kneel, so she gave up, and after hearing his words, she stood up and said, "Master, you can come to the rescue, it is already a great mercy, how can I blame you?"
On the streets, cheers rang out one after another.
Fahai looked up, and the whole city was no longer lifeless at the beginning, and was full of life.
Nearby, apart from him and the old woman, there was a handsome scholar who didn't understand what was going on.
The scholar came to Fahai, first saluted, and then asked curiously: "Xiaosheng Ning Caichen, this master, do you know what is going on here? Why are so many people elated?" Also, the grain in the sky seems to have floated out of the inn at the back, right?"
As he spoke, he wanted to go in and find out.
Fahai hurriedly raised his hand to stop him.
The corpse in the inn has not been disposed of yet, and there is an embarrassing demon among them, so that this scholar can see it, and he must not be scared to death?
"Just call me Fahai. ”
The name Ning Caichen, of course, Fahai will not have heard of it.
Speaking of which, since he came to this world, he has experienced the plots of "Green Snake", "Painted Skin" and "Jigong", is it possible, and now he has to add "A Chinese Ghost Story"?
Thinking of this, he said tentatively: "Ning Caichen, seeing that you are carrying your bags, you are also going to travel far away, where are you going?"
Being interrupted like this, Ning Caichen forgot about the inn and smiled embarrassedly.
"I'm going to Guobei Town to collect the debt, master, what about you?"
"Me. Fahai smiled and said: "Walk the world, travel through this great river and mountain, and by the way, kill demons and demons." ”
"Are there really demons in this world?"
Ning Caichen's body trembled when he heard this, if there were demons, how dangerous would he be along the way?
"Naturally, there is. Fahai nodded and said meaningfully: "Maybe, you will have a chance to see it in the future." ”
Born in this era full of demons, the scholar is also called Ning Caichen, saying that he will not encounter ghosts in the future, who will believe it?
Seeing Ning Caichen's panicked and forcibly calm appearance, Fahai couldn't help laughing: "Are you going to Guobei Town?
Of course, the scholars who were frightened by the demonic statement agreed.
After saying goodbye to the old woman, Fahai didn't have the heart to get involved in the aftermath, so he went on the road with Ning Caichen.
......
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
"Whew. ”
Ning Caichen wiped the sweat on his head, looked at the stone tablet in front of him, and said a little tiredly: "It's finally here." ”
In this era, it is really difficult for ordinary people to leave their homeland, on the one hand, the transportation industry is underdeveloped, and poor people like Ning Caichen have no money to buy horses, so they can walk on two legs in the wilderness and mountains, how many miles can they walk in a month?
Also, not to mention demons and monsters, whenever he encounters a wild wolf and tiger on the road, it is enough for him to eat a pot.
Fortunately, I was lucky this time and successfully arrived in Guobei Town.
Naturally, he didn't know that there were originally many jackals and beasts staring at him, but Fahai leaked some breath, and those beasts fled with their tails between their legs.
After all, the instincts of wild beasts allow them to clearly distinguish which ones can be used as prey and which ones will become prey themselves.
The sky was overcast at some point, gray, and a rain cloud drifted in the distance, blocking the scorching sun.
"Master, it's going to rain, let's go to the pavilion in front to take shelter from the rain?"
Ning Caichen asked Fahai's opinion.
"Good. ”
The summer showers came quickly and urgently, and as soon as the two of them arrived at the pavilion to rest, they turned from a light rain to a pouring rain.
In the distance, the sound of ping-pong fights could be heard.
Fahai closed his eyes and recuperated, not caring about it, but Ning Caichen's face turned three points pale, and he cautiously approached Fahai's side and whispered: "Master, nothing will happen, right?"
As he spoke, a fierce man appeared, slashed the thief who had stolen his money bag with a sword, and then went to the pavilion to eat dry food.
"Who is this man...... Swordsman Xiahou?"
Fahai thought for a moment and got up and walked towards the man.
Ning Caichen suddenly became nervous, wanting to block the man's gaze, and when he hesitated, Fahai had already walked in front of the man.
He said succinctly: "Are you Xiahou?"
The man's eyes sank, and a murderous aura arose, his left hand was still holding the steamed bun, but his right hand was already pressed on the hilt of the sword.
"I have no ill will towards you. ”
Fahai reassured.
The man was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
Also, what malice can a monk have towards himself? If you want to say that you are afraid, it is also that you are afraid of yourself.
Xiahou said coldly: "If you want to persuade me to put down the butcher knife, you should not open your mouth." ”
Fahai shook his head, his face was compassionate, the monk's robe was white and unstained, but the words he said were full of demonic nature: "Now in this world, right and wrong are reversed regardless of good and evil, and killing is not a great way, how can I persuade you?"
(To be honest, today's update is a little less, and it's later than usual, mainly because I forgot the code word when I ate melons everywhere, forgive me)
