Chapter 12: A Ghost in the Middle of the Night
If people don't speak, Yan Xi will say that no matter how much he says, it will be in vain.
Yun Zhu stood aside, and when he saw that Mu Ci was completely immersed in his thoughts, he shook his head at Yan Xi.
"Let's go back first. ”
"......Go back?" Yan Xi hesitated for a long time, turned his head to look at Mu Ci, and finally had to give up.
"That's it. Since she didn't want to say it, who could force it? But ...... Mu Ci, do you really want Wu Qing to accompany you to death? He is a filial son, but he also loves you very much, when these two things can't be both, will you not know his choice?"
After saying this, Yan Xi and Yun Zhu walked straight out of the cell.
Mu Ci's eyes in the dark were blurred, and tears came out of his eyes and fell down his cheeks, drop by drop, eroding the heart that he thought would not hurt anymore.
"Brother Qing, what should I do?"
Lian Hua, who was at the door, saw the two of them coming out with a disgraced face, and knew that things were not going well without thinking about it, so he didn't open his mouth to ask again.
The group went around and around for a long time, but it was still not enough to get clues.
In the end, Yan Xi excused himself to have something to do, and asked Lian Hua to take Taoyao and Taozhuo back to the inn first. She and Yun Zhu went to another place to check.
At this time, Lian Hua suddenly felt that Xiao Er's words were right, and he dared to love him, and he was a dignified true monarch, who specialized in helping the young master and his wife take care of the children.
However, he can be angry with anyone, but he doesn't have a trace of anger at Yun Zhu. Just think he's paying off his debts.
Before Lian Hua left, he gave Yun Zhu countless hintive glances, asking Yun Zhu to seize the opportunity, but unfortunately Yun Zhu ignored his hints. Helpless and sad, Yun Zhu Zhenjun had no choice but to take the two little girls back to the inn.
"Lian Hua Zhenjun seems to care about you very much. ”
Yan Xi looked at Lian Hua who was walking away and spoke appropriately.
Yun Zhu turned around, without a trace of emotion, "Some things, what has passed is in the past." ”
The two made their way to the largest temple in the city.
That's right, this temple is Yan Xi's own temple. At the beginning, she went down to cure the cannibal plague, and by the way, she used a little means to let Le Xu win and unify the three kingdoms. The purpose is to reduce human casualties and fulfill God's destiny.
The people who never thought that Lexu spontaneously set up a statue of a goddess for her after the war, and worshiped it every day, and the incense continued.
In just a few hundred years, Yan Xi's followers in the mortal world have spread all over the world, and his cultivation has also improved a lot.
Carved beams and painted buildings, green smoke filled, and several blooming crape myrtles around the temple add a lot of style to the entire temple of the goddess.
As soon as he entered the gate, the temple owner greeted him with a smile.
"Two, Shang Xiang? or ask for a signature?"
The owner of the temple was an old man in his fifties and sixties, with half-white hair, leaning on crutches, and speaking in a slightly hoarse voice.
Yan Xi stepped forward and arched his hand towards the old man, "Trouble, incense." ”
"Why are you so polite, come with me. ”
Walk up the stairs to the temple of the goddess.
The statue of the god is huge, the golden body is molded, dozens of zhang high, and several zhang wide.
Thin clothes and skirts, light gauze half-hidden, a pair of eyes half-closed, like contemplation and compassion. Stand on a high place and look down on all beings.
It was the first time for Yan Xi to look at his statue up close like this, and he couldn't react for a while.
The believers next to him come and go to burn incense and pray.
"Donor, this is the place where the incense is served, if there is nothing else to do, the old man will retreat first. ”
Yun Zhu expressed his gratitude. The old man walked out on crutches.
"What's wrong? But what did you find?"
Yun Zhu felt that Yan Xi's state was not quite right, and opened his mouth with a little worry.
"Nothing. ”
It's just that there are so many believers, and she really can't shirk her responsibility.
"It's strange to see your own statue so closely. Yan Xi smiled awkwardly.
"By the way, we're here to testify. I'm afraid this temple is not as simple as it seems on the surface. ”
At 10 o'clock in the evening, the temple of the goddess is closed.
Yan Xi and Yun Zhu hid their bodies and hid in the shadows, peeking at everything about this statue.
Suddenly, the lights around the statue of the goddess went out. A bell sounded from the statue of the goddess, empty and inexplicable, with a heart-devouring evil intent.
Immediately afterwards, the door of the temple of the goddess was opened through a crack. The moonlight outside shone in, and with heavy footsteps and the sound of coughing, someone walked in against the light.
It's to see the old man during the day, but the old man at this time can't be regarded as a human being to be precise. His eyes were slightly protruding, his skin was loose, his tongue was falling out, and his body exuded a thick ghostly aura.
He has clearly been dead for a long time, and his ability to move is completely driven by the ghost energy on his body.
The old man stepped into the temple of the goddess step by step, then put down the crutches in his hand and knelt on the futon. The tongue that fell out kept moving, and I didn't know what he was talking about.
Yun Zhu used his divine sense to transmit the voice, suggesting that Yan Xi would not move first and see what he was going to do.
The old man finished muttering, and suddenly reached out to his chest.
Relentlessly penetrated, five fingers hit his heart. Dark black blood slowly flowed out, soaking the clothes.
The old man didn't hurt, and he pulled his whole heart out with a hard pull. It fell to the ground, bloody and stenched.
Even though Yan Xi had seen a lot of dead people, the shocking and moving scene in front of her still made her sick.
"Ha, ha, ha......"
A terrifying chuckle, accompanied by the sound of bells, and the thick ghostly aura around it. For a moment, Yan Xi felt that they were already in the Infernal Hell.
The statue of the goddess suddenly became bloody, red blood tears flowed from her eyes, her half-closed eyes slowly opened, and a terrifying aura emanated.
Yan Xi watched his idol turn into this weird, demonic appearance. It took a lot of effort to resist the urge to go out and tear the ghost in half.
"Goddess. The old man shouted in a low voice.
"Little ghost, what are you looking for ghosts? ”
Female voice, the voice is sharp and evil, full of arrogance.
"Goddess, Mu Ci's matter has been destroyed, do we have to re-plan?"
"Planning? The one who wants to find the ghost has come. ”
When the words fell, Yan Xi and Yun Zhu appeared at the same time, and for a while, the immortal aura and spirit overflowed, and most of the ghost qi was dispersed.
"Are you the ghost Guanyin?" Yan Xi said with a little playfulness, not knowing whether he was happy or angry.
"Yes and what, and what is not?"
"If so, I'll beat you so that you don't even know you. If not, I want you not to be a ghost. Do you pick one?"
Ghost Guanyin smiled, "The goddess is really impulsive, but it's a pity that the ghost is not interested in accompanying the two of you today." However, the ghost has prepared a big gift for the two of you, and I hope you will enjoy it. ”
After speaking, the ghost spirit disappeared, and the sound of the bell disappeared. The temple of the goddess was restored to its original appearance and was sacrosanct.
The old man lost his heart, and because the ghost energy disappeared, he fell to the ground and lost his life.
"Ghost Guanyin, what did you mean just now? How could she know that I went to the mortal world, except for everyone in the fairy world, no one knew about it. Yan Xi was puzzled. "And what is the gift she said? You and I are here, but she doesn't do it, is it because she can't beat us, and she plans to pick up the soft pinch?"
Yun Zhu, "Lianhua." ”
"Could it be that the ghost Guanyin sent someone to the inn, intending to capture Lian Hua and the two children alive?"
"It's possible. ”
Yan Xi thought for a moment and asked Yun Zhu to go back to the inn first to take care of the situation of the other three. Although the mana of the three is not low, the ghost Guanyin is obviously not a good type. It's not good if something really happens.
She herself stayed at the temple of the Goddess and had something to deal with.
Yun Zhu knew what Yan Xi meant, so he didn't ask much, and left after saying a word of caution.
His goddess statue was possessed by a person in the ghost world, and even the temple owner became a puppet in the ghost world. If she said this, she would definitely become the laughing stock of the Three Realms.
The more Yan Xi thought about it, the more angry she became, but this was always her negligence, and she didn't know how many bad things Ghost Guanyin had done with her Guanyin statue?
The oracle descended, and immediately dispelled the ghost energy around the temple of the goddess, and the boundless divine energy poured in, adding to the sacred*. After dispelling the ghost qi, Yan Xi specially added a magic circle on the periphery, as long as the evil demon wanted to get closer, he would be incinerated by the red lotus karma fire of the magic circle.
The old man only felt that he had slept for a long time, and he didn't remember anything else.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a woman in white standing beside her.
"Girl, are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you wake up. ”
"What happened, do you remember?"
The old man held his head and thought for a long time, "I only remember that in the middle of the night, I heard the bell like the goddess, pushed open the door and entered to check, and then I couldn't remember what happened after that." ”
"It's good if you can't remember. ”
Yan Xi helped the old man up. "When I entered the door, I saw you sleeping in the doorway. I went forward to check and found that you had been infected with the soul disease spread on the rivers and lakes, so I took action to call your soul back. ”
After hearing this, the old man bowed to Yan Xi, "Thank you, girl, thank you." ”
Yan Xi hurriedly held the person up, "It should be that I thank the temple master." ”
Look at the idol for me, and sustain the believers on all sides.
"By the way, has the temple master heard of a miracle doctor named Mu Ci?"
The old man thought slightly.
"Mu Ci, the one who practices medicine and saves people?"
"Hmm. ”
How could the old man not remember that when she was a child, she often came to the temple of the goddess to offer incense, and prayed with the goddess, hoping to become a doctor who was even more powerful than her father. Treat the sick and save people, and benefit the world. ”
At first, everyone laughed at her. said that her father's half-baked medical skills can also heal a cat and a dog, and other people dare not let him be a doctor even if they have a life. To say that Dr. Mu's medical skills are not bad, it's just that when his wife was sick, he drank alcohol, diagnosed the wrong symptoms, and staggered the medicine. As a result, the day after taking the medicine, he lay down in bed because of the rush of qi and blood. From then on, Dr. Mu practiced medicine again, and everyone didn't dare to believe him. When Mu Ci was a child, he saw that his father was pointed out by thousands of people, and he was scolded by thousands of people, and his heart was more or less affected. ”
The old man remembered that when she was young, she often went to the temple of the goddess to ask the goddess to give her a body of medical skills to save the people in the world who were suffering from illness. Day after day, year after year. During this period, her father also advised her many times to stop clinging. It's a pity that Mu Ci can't listen to anything, and still comes every day. ”
Until one day she came to me and told me that the goddess had promised her that she could become a generation of famous doctors and treat everyone. The old man was also very strange at that time, the goddess was a statue, how could she appear? ”
What is puzzling is that the later Mu porcelain has indeed become a world-famous miracle doctor, with excellent medical skills. He cured a lot of incurable diseases and did good deeds to save people. ”
