Ah Luan was frightened by this sound.

"What's the matter, it's scary. It's time to wake up! ”

The mountains and seas wiped their sideburns, and they were all sweat. As soon as I sat up, I felt that the joints of my whole body were hurting, and I must have caught a cold.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this coolness that he recalled his childhood. The dream was so real, so real that he felt in a trance even when he woke up. It's not easy to wrestle in the swamp of memories, after all, they're too heavy for him. Especially the last voice of Jiyue-kun, it seemed that it was himself whispering in his ear.

What a nightmare.

Early in the morning, the old man went out and told him about the exorcism, and the neighbors all gathered at the door of Chen's butcher's house. When the mountains and seas squeezed through the crowd, they saw a little ghost tied to the tree at the door like a dog.

It looks a lot like the one I saw yesterday, but it's not quite the same. The hungry ghost was smaller, covered with a layer of rough and unkempt hair, with a distorted face and a fierce expression. It is like a vicious dog, grinning at everyone, if it were not trapped by the rope, I am afraid that it would have jumped up and bitten people.

A group of people formed a large circle, and the mountains and seas were drawn in a circle with rune water, and the damp toon wood was placed in the array, which seemed to be placed in a special pattern. He ignited a yellow spell and reached out to let it drift into the pyre. Then, he waved the whisk and said something in his mouth.

His memory has always been good, and he has memorized all kinds of spells passed down by his master in those years.

Ah Luan was on the side, fanning the black smoke rising from the wet wood to the hungry ghost.

The clearing was full of smoke and fog, and everyone covered their noses, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in this Taoist gourd. But after a while, the hungry ghost, who had been dancing in the black smoke, was a little quieter, as if a thunderous dog had seen meat, and it pounced on the smoke, constantly grabbing the air and sending it to its mouth.

Everyone else was dumbfounded.

This spell can teach the smoke to become food to swallow in the eyes of the hungry, and although it cannot overtake them, it can relieve their pain.

The little imp ate the smoke for half an hour, and the group of people just watched in amazement. Finally, it seemed to be full, lying horizontally in the center with a round belly. Chen Butcher walked over and pulled its rope, but it didn't resist, and just dragged it like a dead dog for some distance.

People are talking a lot, and they are all boasting about the long way and the profundity. But Shanhai was still sweating, and he didn't know if methods like this would be effective for the evil child. Just thinking about this kung fu, a middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf rushed forward, knelt at the feet of the mountains and seas, crying, and said something slurred.

He understood that this must be the widow in the old man's mouth. What she said must also be a matter of plugs.

He also half-knelt down and persuaded the bolt mother.

"I've heard about your son. But I'm not completely sure, so I'll just give it a try. Besides, I came in a hurry and didn't make any preparations. I'll have to go back to my lodgings, get some tools, get some stuff and come back. ”

"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, you are your words, you must come back...... Definitely! ”

It took a lot of effort for a group of people to convince the bolt mother to let go of the hem of Shanhai's clothes. Someone borrowed an old horse from them to go back to the city, but the horse was indeed old, and it was going to rest and graze again. From the southwest to the Yu'an restaurant in the northwest, it took them twice as long.

I didn't have a good rest in itself, and coupled with the early morning charity, the mountains and seas really hurt a little vitality. Ah Luan could see that he had been taking the initiative to carry the burden of mountains and seas, which made him feel a lot more relieved. Back at the restaurant, he led Ah Luan up to the third floor and knocked on the door of Pei Yuanwai's residence.

The house is still full of flowers.

Shanhai and Ah Luan's faces were not very good-looking, but Pei Yuanwai obviously didn't see it. While drunkenly beckoning the two of them to sit down and drink, he boasted to the two flowery girls about how powerful the Taoist chief in front of him was.

Cultivators don't speak vulgar words, the mountains and seas persuade themselves in their hearts.

He reported to Pei Yuanwai what he had seen and heard, and what he had done. He and several girls sometimes looked frightened, sometimes surprised, listened to books, and coaxed at every turn.

Ah Luan couldn't stand it anymore, and frowned and looked at the mountains and seas. He tugged at the corner of her dress under the table and motioned for her to be quiet.

"Then hungry ghost, why can't you eat people?" A girl stuffed Pei Yuanwai's mouth with a snack, and he asked with his cheeks puffed.

"There are many reasons. What we see is that because of the karmic karma of previous lives, food becomes something that they can't eat in front of their eyes or in their stomachs. ”

"Can I eat cigarettes?"

“…… Sort of. ”

"Can the immortal chief demonstrate on the spot and teach us to open our eyes!"

Ah Luan was just about to reach out and pull the corner of Shanhai's clothes, but he took the first step to clasp his fists and salute, and stood up from the stool, his wooden legs rubbing on the ground with a clicking sound.

"I need to go there again tomorrow, I need to make some preparations, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, so I will retire first."

With that, he turned and walked away. Ah Luan paused for a moment and looked at Pei Yuanwai, who was dazed, as if he didn't know why the mountains and seas were so angry. She hurriedly chased after her, leaving Pei Yuanwai and the girls who accompanied the wine to look at each other.

Why not minced meat?

The mountains and seas leaned on the railing, looking at the people coming and going downstairs. The men's commotion and the women's laughter were endless, and he frowned, but he didn't know what to say about it.

Maybe there are some things he doesn't have to say. That's the way of the world.

Ah Luan gently tugged at his long hair behind his head, and he didn't look back.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hard work."

"If you're really not happy to do this, forget it, no one blames you."

“…… But I'll blame myself. ”

Rin Shanhai really can't live without heart and lungs. He is so easy to be soft-hearted, and the suffering in the world has been listened to in his heart since he was a child, and when he grows up, he also sees it in his eyes.

His master, who is also the ancestor of Ah Luan, the master of the Heavens Temple, has a young friend. He was dressed in a blue and black robe, always holding a Zen staff and a Buddhist bead hanging from his other hand. But if he is a disciple of Buddhism, he has long hair like a waterfall under his old hat, which is really a strange person.

When he had nothing to do, the man often came to the temple to talk to him. At that time, the mountains and seas were still small, that is, they did the work of serving tea and delivering water. When I walked out the door, I occasionally heard the whispers of my brothers.

"The false monk is here again."

"Yes, I don't see that I am sincere to the Buddha, what do I do when I go to our Taoist temple."

"Don't say that, I heard that he and Master are New Year's friends."

Children are naturally straightforward and fast-talking. These words were in his ears and in his heart. Finally, one day, when he had the opportunity, he asked the master about the monk.

"The Buddha's path is different, but the path is the same. I think that the Buddha and the Tao are not superior or inferior, but should seek common ground while reserving differences. This is true of everything in this world. Although your uncle has led the cultivation, he has already implemented the truth of heaven and earth, and there are some things that I still want to ask him for. ”

Originally, I thought that asking such an unreasonable question would cause the master to be dissatisfied. I didn't think about it, and the master was not annoyed, but unexpectedly put down his serious face in the past, and reasoned with him kindly and calmly.

Speaking of which, the hexagram that he hadn't finished explaining to the disciple of the Snow Yan Sect was so different and seeking common ground.

He still remembers that when he was a child, he asked Master like this.

"That'...... What's the difference? ”

"Buddhism redeems the world with its body, aiming to purify all sentient beings and help the world; I am a Taoist who cultivates self-cultivation and cultivates nature, and if you want to cross people, you must cross me first. ”

"Together and together—"

"The avenue is invisible, and all living beings are suffering."

All living beings are suffering.

Thinking of the light of hope in the eyes of those ordinary people, Rin Shanhai had to force himself to cheer up. He took a deep breath, pinched the bridge of his nose, and straightened up again.

Ah Luan walked around to his side, blinking his eyes, as if he had something to say to him.

"If you want to say anything, just say it."

“…… Ah, nothing. It's just that I just heard Xiao Er chatting and said that there is a Jacques upstairs, and he was there a few days ago. He said that he was not interested in beautiful girls and fine wine, and called the top geisha, but he just played the piano for him all day long. Listening to the location, it looks like it's right next door to our house......"

Rin Shanhai didn't say a word, three steps and two steps and ran upstairs. Ah Luan wanted to divert his attention and let him stop thinking about what he had and didn't have, but he never thought that he was actually interested in this kind of news. She chased after her, and found that Shanhai had pushed open the door of the neighboring house uninvited, and she followed in.

Immediately, Ah Luan was stunned at the door.

At the head of the room sat a young woman who was frightened by the interruption of her performance, and there was also someone she knew well.

The man was dressed in a light white robe, with blue ribbons embroidered on the corners. The placket of the shirt is black silk embroidered with dark stripes, and the inside is lined with pure blue.

Although the outfit was not quite the same as before, she would never be wrong about that face.

"Jiyue-kun?!"

Luan exclaimed.

He didn't wear the black curtain in front of him, but his eyes were as clear as she thought.

Jiyuejun waved her hand, and the woman who played the qin bowed, carried the qin out of the house, and closed the door.

"Why do you keep staring at me, I can't let go."

He said with a smile, and his eyebrows curled up. It's just that his pupils are very light, with a blue, non-green brilliance, which makes her feel very unnatural. What is even more bizarre is that between the pupil and the whites of the eyes, there is a trace of arc-shaped golden traces, uneven in thickness and uneven, and it has never completely closed at the end of the slender ring—like the three days and moons.

She swung her palms desperately up and down in front of him, as if to verify that he was really blind.

"Don't shake, he really can't see."

Shanhai said gloomily, sitting opposite him, and poured his tea.
