Chapter 31: A Sword Kills Him
Empty streets, silent on both sides.
Except for the whimper of the wind and snow, there was no other sound.
One big and one small, against the wind.
Looking down from the sky, two rows of old wooden houses like "tofu blocks" are narrow at the beginning and gradually widen at the back, like an inverted "eight" figure.
As Ning Yi guessed, this so-called "place of death" is a "shelter" built by the survivors of the human race in the demon race, and the small cabins one by one were all suffering people who "believed" in a certain doctrine back then.
And in the gap of this gathering place, there are one ancient temple after another, large and small, with different appearances.
Red Sakura Niko saw the "gods, Buddhas, ghosts, and monsters" for the first time Although the lonely temple in Xiling looks gloomy, in fact, the Buddha statue in the Buddhist temple is solemn, some abandoned remote temples, there are still residual incense in the drawer that can be lit, and the short kowtow in the Buddhist shrine is worshipped, for people to make such a small wish, in the Xiling of the Great Sui, Taoism occupies an absolute dominant position, although there is a small Leiyin Temple in the Buddhist gate, but the doctrine has been greatly suppressed, most of the Buddhist believers are shrunk in the small Leiyin Temple, almost do not go out to preach, so the lonely temple in Xiling is abandonedIt's just that most of those monks are still kind-hearted and simple-minded, and they still leave some things behind when they leave.
The temple is small and the Bodhisattva is big, and there is a fate to meet.
Buddhism pays attention to "fate", if there is fate, even if life is a hundred years, thousands of miles apart, only need to enter the temple once, you can twist the fire to see the Bodhisattva.
Red Sakura-chan Niko wrinkled her nose.
She looked at the hideous ancient god wearing a tiger helmet and a robe, and felt that the painting style was completely different from what she imagined.
"The gods are depressed. Ning Yi said with a smile: "It seems that it is not only the Buddhist family that is dominant, these believers who were born in the demon clan have gathered together, and there is no way out, it is estimated that they want to ask for all the gods and Buddhas in the sky." If we just opened a few more doors here, it is estimated that we will see not only the teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and other small sects, but also the classics of the first Emperor of Light...... Those guys fled here, barely able to survive together, and could have lived well, but unfortunately what they do every day is not thinking about how to make their lives better, or how to leave. ”
"Rather, he turned to the scriptures that had been invented by men, and begged for different, ethereal gods. ”
Ning Yi felt that this was a kind of sadness.
Nizi pursed her lips.
She thinks so too, but if you think about it, she and her mother escaped back then, and they fled to such a place, where everyone is pious and prays all day long...... So what about yourself?
I'm afraid I'll be the same.
In the darkness, these beliefs are like a faint light and fire.
It's ethereal, but at least it can light a path.
Most people prefer to believe that it is their own reasons and do not reach the end of the road rather than accept it...... This road simply does not exist.
"Rest here tonight for the night. ”
Ning Yi patted Hong Sakura's head, his voice was slightly tired, and he smiled and said, "I'll take you to an interesting place." ”
Sakura blinked, a little curious when she heard this.
Ning Gongzi said that he wanted to take himself to an interesting place?
"It is impossible to verify what these people did when they gathered together, but they believe in 'gods and Buddhas' so much, and so many temples and bell towers have been built here, there must be no shortage of 'that one'. Ning Yi's tone was relaxed, he spoke slowly, and he did not release his divine thoughts, which can be regarded as "respect" here.
In fact, as soon as he stepped here, the "hairs" on his back stood up, and the soft starlight stretched out, enveloping the red cherry blossoms.
Xiao Nizi didn't notice it in the slightest.
Ning Yi has been telling her in a calm tone that there are no "gods, Buddhas, ghosts" in this world, and these people believe in fakes.
But in fact?
He didn't know the bottom of his heart.
This place exudes an "evil spirit", and the temple is carved with more than one "god", which is a big taboo!
Ning Yi raised his eyebrows, his expression was still calm, the people in this place have been dead for an unknown number of years, and according to the years and months experienced in the construction of the wooden house, even if it is Emperor Taizong who lives in it, his soul is scattered.
Dead are dead.
What is there to be afraid of him?
What made Ning Yi feel a little "not good" was the abnormality of the "White Bone Plain" in his body.
Under normal circumstances, the divine pond of the dantian, the water of the pond flows slowly, if it encounters a treasure, it will send out a joyful and cheerful buzz, as well as a strong desire, if the danger is foreseen in advance, it will send out a violent tremor, signaling Ning Yi to leave quickly.
And at the moment.
The water of the Divine Pond in the White Bone Plains was constantly roaring with joy and wailing at the same time, and the two diametrically opposed emotions were transmitted to Ning Yi's mind at the same time.
Everyone in this world has something to fear.
The reason why people believe in gods is because they make people "afraid" in the first place.
And Ning Yi may be a very rare exception.
He did have something to fear, but it was definitely not a hideous-looking evil ghost, or a god or Buddha with a majestic appearance...... Because he has seen the scene of "the destruction of the world", the scene in the ancient scroll of the sword-bearer, which has overcome all horror.
The gods, the immortals, the Buddhas, can they survive after the canopy of heaven tears and the sea pours out?
......
......
Ning Yi led Xiao Nizi and circled between several ancient temples located here, these gods are distinct, as if they really have a manifestation, although they are taboo, but the distance between them is still enough, and it can be regarded as "well water does not violate river water".
Red Sakura muttered in a low voice: "Those people who live here, obviously the environment is difficult, and they can only live in dilapidated wooden houses and ancient buildings, but they want to build brick temples for these non-existent 'immortals' to easily shelter from the wind and rain, I really don't understand what they think?"
Ning Yi smiled dumbly.
Xiao Nizi thought that Ning Yi was laughing at her childishness, so she puffed up her breath and asked angrily: "If there are really immortals, where do you need them to build ancient temples and shelter themselves from the wind and rain?"
These people are stupid.
Ning Yi led the red cherry blossoms to stand in front of an ancient temple, indeed, compared to those dilapidated ancient wooden houses the size of "tofu blocks", this Bodhisattva temple was built extremely atmospheric, and with care, many years have passed, the plaque was frozen by the wind, and the approximate handwriting is not real, the first step behind the threshold has long been stepped out by believers, and the threshold is still clean, which shows the degree of care...... These people are truly "believers" through and through.
It's not cold inside the temple.
Compared with the thin wooden board of tofu blocks, this is indeed a better "residence", but when you step into the temple, you will see an extremely magnificent "Bodhisattva statue", a lotus throne, wearing a Pilu crown, wearing a robe, holding a jewel in one hand, holding a tin staff with the other hand, the robe is frozen and solidified, and a lion-shaped monster lies on its side.
Tiger head, single horn, dog ears, dragon body, lion tail, unicorn foot.
Ning Yi bowed his head slightly.
The first time Sakura saw the "Buddha statue", it could be seen from her eyes that Xiao Nizi was shocked by this statue of about three or four feet tall, and muttered, "This is?"
Ning Yi didn't rush to answer, but said softly: "The golden tin in your hand will shake open the gate of hell, and the pearl in your palm will take the light of the world." ”
Xiao Nizi was even more distracted.
Ning Yi stood in front of the vast Buddha statue and said with a faint smile: "The 'Dizang King Bodhisattva' on the eastern side of the Great Sui Dynasty, although it is a bodhisattva fruit, has cultivated the thirty-two great heavenly and human appearances, specializing in the ghosts and ghosts, in the ancient legends of Buddhism, he suppressed hell alone, so even if there is a so-called 'powerful ghost', you can rest assured that resting in this temple will not be able to entangle you." ”
Sakura rubbed her face and whispered, "You just said that there are no ghosts......"
Ning Yi smiled: "Isn't it better if there is none? If there really is a hell, then there is this Bodhisattva, think about it, is this the truth?"
Xiao Nizi thought about it, nodded, and then shook her head desperately.
"That's the truth. But even if there are ghosts, I'm not afraid. ”
Ning Yi sighed, squatted down, and asked, "Why? Have you heard of 'Jizo' before?"
She looked at the Buddha statue and said with emotion, "I didn't know this Bodhisattva before, of course...... He didn't know me either. ”
Hong Ying smiled and said, "But Ning Gongzi is here, with you, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
Ning Yi was stunned.
He also smiled: "Yes, with me, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”
......
......
The wind is getting lighter outside.
Ning Yi arranged talismans in the temple, this ancient temple is very well built, almost no wind leakage, so there is no need to worry about staying overnight here, Xiao Nizi's body can't withstand the wind and cold, he put the "soundproof talisman", "breath-holding talisman", and some defensive talismans, all hanging on the temple door, these talismans are the first layer of protection.
Ning Yi has lived in Xiling for ten years, and he has encountered strange things like "evil" since he was a child, but his boldness is outrageous, after all, he is a ruthless person who dares to go to Qingbai City in the middle of the night to rob the tomb.
That time I met the "Snow Spider Demon" in the temple, it was really a psychological shadow.
Scary is secondary.
That thing looks really infiltrating, transforming into the appearance of a girl, I didn't practice at that time, and the level of my soul is extremely unstable, and I almost fell into the way of the snow demon.
When Ning Yi arranged the talisman, Xiao Nizi followed him, "running around" with him, and quietly being a fart in the temple, although she didn't say a word, Ning Yi still saw her nervousness from the silence of the red cherry blossoms.
After pasting the talisman, Ning Yi dragged out several big futons from under the Buddhist shrine, patted the dust clean, and made a simple "small bed", which was enough for the red cherry blossoms to lie on their sides.
Xiao Nizi was extremely well-behaved, sitting on the futon, hesitating, but still asked.
"Childe...... Isn't this place too clean?"
When he heard this, Ning Yi turned his back to the red cherry blossoms.
He smiled and shook his head, and sat down, tucking the snow across his lap.
Ning Yi looked at the temple gate silently, not closing his eyes, but recuperating his spirits.
"Put 10,000 hearts. ”
He said calmly: "Immortals and Bodhisattvas, demons and monsters, no matter who comes, I will punish them with a sword." ”

(Today's chapter was written for a long time, and even later, but the effect is still satisfactory, and it seems to be ...... today.) There will be a big chapter during the day tomorrow...... Before five o'clock in the afternoon. )
