Chapter 14: Killing on a Rainy Night
When this guy named Jin Can said this, the wind suddenly rose, and a cold wind blew in, blowing the ashes on the altar in all directions, and then only heard a bang, and the door of the Niangniang Temple outside was directly kicked open, and the iron door shook and collided violently with the stone wall, resounding in the silent night.

"Who is it?" Bai Ze muttered in his heart, afraid that the incense ash would be blind, so he covered it with his hand while looking at the door, and a thin shadow stood at the gate of the temple in the dark night, but he didn't come in.
Jin Can stood up at this time, and when he turned around and saw the shadow at the entrance of the temple, his eyes were full of surprise, and he was about to shout, but suddenly the electricity in the temple was connected by someone who didn't know who connected it, and the lights were bright in an instant.
Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly hid in the narrow corner behind the statue.
"Lin Yu, is it really you?" As soon as the lights were turned on, Jin Can was a little dazzling, and he tried to squint his eyes to finally see that the door was indeed the person he had been thinking about, and he couldn't help but shout out. At this moment, Jin Can, who was carried away by some emotion, didn't think about who turned on the power at all, so he subconsciously wanted to run to the gate of the temple, but as soon as he walked to the door of the inner hall, he was stopped by two people.
"Who are you? The staff in the temple? Trouble Jean, it's not right for me to come here at this time, I'll pay you ten times the price if I break something......" Jin Can still has the bad habits of the second generation of the general rich, and subconsciously thought that the man and woman who stopped him were the staff of Niangniang Temple, and tried to run past them to the Lin Yu at the door.
Jin Can didn't know who this man and woman were, Bai Ze who was hiding in the shadows knew too well, this was Lin Xi and Zhang Danian. Sure enough, the next moment, the irascible Zhang Danian snorted coldly and punched Jin Can, but he didn't have Bai Ze's good luck, and Zhang Danian's punch hit Jin Can's face directly.
Hitting people without hitting people in the face may be because Bai Ze's disgust was too heavy last time, and Zhang Danian, who has a habit of cleanliness, has already had a shadow on beating other people's stomachs these days, so Jin Can is unlucky.
Bai Ze knew that Zhang Danian's fist was hard, and after a punch, Jin Can, who had become weak these days, lay down directly, and the gold wire glasses were knocked off.
"How do you beat people, I will sue you." Maybe there is a subconscious effect that lovers can't lose face when they are present, knowing that they can't beat it, Jin Can endured the pain and jumped up and threw himself at Zhang Danian, but the result was still unsatisfactory, and he was knocked down by Zhang Danian with a punch again.
"You're M, I'll kill you......" Jin Can's face was broken, and his anger came up, and he wanted to rush again...... Bai Ze saw it in his eyes and shook his head, he knew at a glance that this Jin Can would not fight, and his movements and postures were not right, and he was simply delivering food to Zhang Danian, of course, Bai Ze was very red when he saw that Zhang Danian was also an enemy. He was frightened last time, of course, he couldn't beat Zhang Danian if he was really alone, so he lowered his head and found a stone behind the statue, picked up the big hard one, and secretly held it in his hand.
Zhang Danian didn't take Jin Can seriously at all, and it was the same as the disdainful look he had when he looked at Bai Ze that night.
Lin Xi on the side did not speak from beginning to end, but hugged his shoulders and looked at Lin Yu, who had stood at the gate of the temple in such a daze when he came.
Zhang Danian kicked Jin Can's chest, pounced on Jin Can's collar again, snorted, and was about to fight, when suddenly a rumbling thunder sounded in the sky.
"Enough! Let him go, he's just an ordinary person. Lin Yu at the gate of the temple finally moved, stepped into the Niangniang Temple, as soon as she came in, the rain from the temple gate to the leaky courtyard in the middle of the inner hall floated directly, and looked at the inner hall floating, directly to Lin Xi and Zhang Danian who were standing at the door.
Lin Xi seemed to have been prepared, and took out an oil-paper umbrella from behind him and opened it at once, blocking it. Zhang Danian was not so lucky, and after being drenched in the rain all over his face, he threw the golden can in his hand aside and snorted vigorously.
"I didn't expect this generation of rain girls to be an infatuated species, we thought you would be a **** like the previous generation of rain girls, but I didn't expect you to be a fool, you are really here." Lin Xi lifted the oil-paper umbrella and smiled at the approaching Lin Yu.
"Let him go, since you want to find me, tell me what you want." When Lin Yu walked to the middle of the courtyard, Bai Ze finally saw her face clearly, she was wearing a gray wide robe, her skin was fair, her figure was petite, but she was not beautiful, she spoke hoarsely, she stood barefoot in the rain, giving people the feeling that she had come into contact with all the loneliness in the world. At first, he listened to Jin Can's crazy blood, and thought how beautiful Lin Yu was, but it seemed that he was too vulgar, and this Jin Can was not as superficial as he thought.
"Happy, I just wanted to see if your Prayer Stone was what we were looking for?"
"I know that you are known as the Taoist Academy, but you are serving the leaders of mortals, our Yudie clan has no intention of interfering in the war of the laity, and has been guarding the one acre and three points of land in the ancient town for thousands of years, and the well water has always not interfered with the river water, your request is obviously to start a war with us?" Lin Yu still didn't have any mood fluctuations when he said this, and it wasn't Lin Xi who was looking at him, but Jin Can, who was lying on the ground with a sluggish expression.
PS: In ancient Chinese legends, there is a goddess of Wushan, who acts as clouds in the morning and rain in the twilight. Expanding the scope a bit, the "Rain Girl" recorded in the book "Hundred Ghosts Night Walking" is also of its kind. This is something slightly higher and more sacred than the Yokai level. There is a saying about the rain god in China:
The name of the rain god in the Shennong era was red pine nuts. Red pine nuts took Bing Yu Powder and passed this recipe to Shennong's family. It is said that with this technique, you can walk into the fire without harming your body. Red pine nuts live in Kunlun Mountain most of the time, and inhabit the goddess (according to the "Legend of the Immortals", the goddess refers to the Queen Mother of the West. In the stone chamber, riding the wind and rain to and fro between heaven and earth. At that time, the young daughter of the Shennong clan followed him, also learned immortal arts, and finally disappeared with him. A few years later, the red pine nut once again came to the world as the god of rain.
Rain is a gift from nature. If there is no rainfall, crops will die. Therefore, Japan has a tradition of praying for rain since ancient times. This practice is also inseparable from the folk beliefs in various places. In Higashizukuma-gun, Nagano Prefecture, there is a stone called the "Rain Stone", which is a red color with a smooth surface, and the part that protrudes from the ground is the size of two tatami hats (about 3.24 square meters). If the stone is moved, it will rain for 60 days. A man once wanted to move it home as a garden stone, and after just a few digs, it rained for more than three months. Aomori Prefecture also has a saying that "rain falls on the ground". If you throw the stone Buddha into the river, there will be a heavy downpour.
It can be seen that some scholars believe that the rain girl not only belongs to the so-called monsters, but also has elements of folk beliefs.
