Chapter 271: Wei Zheng
There are many temples in the world. In these temples, except for Buddhist temples, there are monks in charge. Most of the rest have good men and women as temple blessings. Take charge of the incense money in the temple. Responsible for repairing houses and depicting idols of gods.
I know the existence of the temple zhu, but I never thought that the temple zhu of Wei Zheng Temple was actually a demon cat.
I looked at Mr. Lu and asked, "Is this cat a human or a demon?" β
Mr. Lu thought for a while and said, "I heard that after a person dies, he can be reincarnated. Merely. Will forget jΓ¬ηεδΈqiΔ. However, there are thousands of people in the world, and there are always one or two mistakes. Be able to remember the events of your life. This cat, perhaps, is in this case. β
"According to my analysis, after it was reincarnated, it still remembered that it was a human being, so it did not eat or drink, and died on hunger strike. It was only after his death that he found out that it was not so easy to reincarnate. He wanted to borrow the corpse to return the soul, but the soul had become a cat soul, but he couldn't get on the human body. I had to attach myself to the wild cat, wait for the opportunity, and reincarnate. β
Xue Qian said strangely: "Mr. Lu, how do you know so much about this matter?" Sounds like you've been there. β
Mr. Lu laughed dryly. Waving his hand, he said, "How could I have experienced it?" It's just that there are more classics to spend on. I've seen similar records before, so I'll just keep it in my heart. β
I said, "Why isn't the temple here a human, but a cat?" β
Mr. Lu laughed and said, "Now there are some years and a little scale of the temple. All of them have been developed into attractions. Tourists are weaving, in and out, where do you still need a temple? Those who buy tickets at the ticket booth can be regarded as temple blessings. β
Speaking of this, Mr. Lu put away the righteous indignation on his face, and then said: "It's just that this Wei Zheng Temple, those temples only dare to take care of the daytime. During the day, it is the living who visit this place. At night, the dead took possession of it. Therefore, it is natural that you need to be a demon all the time to make temple blessings. β
I just nodded.
The demon cat has been gone for a long time and has never returned. I heard the evil spirits outside howling from time to time, and they seemed to be fighting for food.
Xue Qian asked, "Mr. Lu, those hungry ghosts shouldn't come back and eat the three of us, right?" β
Mr. Lu smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, I have a big knife in my hand, and Zhong Kui behind you, they don't have that much courage yet." β
After a while, a strong wind suddenly picked up outside. After this gust of wind blew, all the ghosts in the temple suddenly disappeared. The outside became clean and empty.
Mr. Lu hurriedly pressed me. I was on my knees again.
A few minutes later, I felt a dark cloud drifting into the house. Although there are candles lit on the offering table. But the candlelight didn't illuminate the darkness of the place.
After a few moments, I heard a majestic voice: "You caught the blind dragon?" β
Then, it was Mr. Lu's voice: "That's right, the two of us caught the blind dragon and specially escorted it to you." β
I was bold and slowly raised my head. I saw a black mist appear around Wei Zheng's clay statue. These black fogs obscure the mud statues. The clouds and mountains are covered in fog, making it impossible to see his true face.
Wei Zheng pondered for a while. Then he said, "Not bad." The blind dragon is indeed inside this man. I already feel it. β
Then, he asked very kindly, "Little brother, what is your name?" β
I fell to my knees, afraid to answer. At this time, Mr. Lu kicked me gently: "My name is Zhao Mang." β
Wei Zheng said: "Zhao Mang, Zhao Mang." Is there anyone else in your family? β
I wondered in my heart, "Aren't you trying to kill me?" Why do you keep asking these nonsensical questions? β
I had the intention to lie, but after thinking about it, these demons and evil people were very good, and I was afraid that they would be able to find out where I came from, so I honestly replied: "My parents are still alive at home." β
Wei Zheng nodded and said, "Little brother, you can die generously and sacrifice your life to save the world." This is a great good deed, a great merit. Even I admire it very much. You don't have to kneel, just stand up and talk. β
I thought to myself: This Wei Zheng is not bad. Doesn't sound like a vicious person. It's just that, listening to what he meant, he doesn't seem to have any intention of letting me go.
After I stood up, Wei Zheng said slowly: "Don't worry, after you die, your parents will not suffer in the world." I will arrange for someone to take care of them. β
I secretly cried out in my heart: "I was going to cheat to death. If you arrange for someone to take care of them, won't it all be exposed? β
Fortunately, at this time, Mr. Lu took the initiative to stand up. He said sincerely: "Senior Wei, Zhao Mang's relatives, just take care of them by me." They are old, and I am afraid that they will not see the people in the netherworld. β
Wei Zheng snorted and said, "Not bad." We ghosts, it's not suitable to come out and be scary anymore. Well, I'll leave this to you. β
Then, he sighed and said, "This little Taoist priest, you are very angry. I remember when I gave the token to my descendants. Why did the person who escorted the blind dragon over today become you? β
Mr. Lu has obviously already thought of the answer. He spoke eloquently and replied, "Senior Wei, more than a thousand years have passed since you threw the token back then. Your descendants have also been buried in the loess. It's just that he didn't complete the task, he was obsessed, and he couldn't be reincarnated for a long time. Then I met him and was determined to help him fulfill his legacy. β
Wei Zheng sighed: "Unexpectedly, you are also a righteous man. β
Mr. Lu cheekily said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." In my life, I am upright, and the person I admire the most is Senior Wei. Since you want to kill the blind dragon, it must be right. β
Wei Zheng hummed lightly, but did not speak.
At this time, Mr. Lu asked in a low voice, "When are we going to do it?" β
Wei Zheng said: "Wait a little longer, the hour has not yet come." β
Mr. Lu said: "Since we don't kill Zhao Mang now, we are idle, there is one thing I feel very curious about, and I want to ask Senior Wei." β
Wei Zheng said lightly: "What do you want to ask?" β
Mr. Lu said, "What is the origin of this blind dragon? Why did the old-timer spend thousands of years of work, and he must be killed? β
Wei Zheng was silent for a while and said, "I shouldn't have said this matter in the first place. However, since you have captured the blind dragon, it can be regarded as a great achievement, so I will sue you. β
When I heard this, my brain suddenly jumped. I glanced at Mr. Lu suspiciously. His face was full of anticipation in the light of the candlelight. Stay for every brother.
As soon as my heart sank, I immediately thought: The reason why Mr. Lu went to great lengths to get me here. I'm afraid it's not just to save me. Instead, they want me to use me as bait to find out the origin of the blind dragon.
It feels bad to be taken advantage of, but I can't debunk Mr. Lu. I'm a grasshopper on the same line with him now, and if he wears a goof, I won't survive.
Mr. Lu seemed to know that I was watching him. He squeezed his eyes at me, revealing a smug expression, which seemed to say: Zhao Mang, I just used you, what can you do to me?
I looked at Xue Qian again, Xue Qian looked like she had nothing to do with herself and just wanted to watch the play.
I sighed and stood aside silently.
And Wei Zheng had already begun to speak slowly: "Since you are a Taoist priest, you should know that more than a thousand years ago, there were people who tried to refine the elixir, wanting to live forever, and even soar in the daytime. β
Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I heard this matter from the tutor. Moreover, I heard that there are really people who have practiced the elixir. β
Wei Zheng said slowly: "The immortal trail is ethereal, no one has seen it. The so-called ascension to immortality is even more nonsense. The original Taoist should not have been an immortal. It's something else terrible. Although its power is huge, the danger is not small. β
Mr. Lu's voice trembled a little: "What is that thing?" β
Wei Zheng pondered for a while and said, "That Taoist first refined a pill. After this pill is taken by someone, his power can be greatly increased and he will become a generation of masters. But this person was not satisfied, and wanted to refine the second one. His purpose may be to be the overlord of heaven and earth. It's just that the second one hasn't had time to be refined. The world's heroes have already gotten the news. I want to capture him while he hasn't succeeded. β
