Chapter Eighty-Five: What is covered is not necessarily what it is

Early in the morning, the sky had just dawned.

Jiang Sheng, who turned into a black cat, has already appeared on the streets of Xiahe District.

At this moment, it is ready to go to the Duan Bodhisattva Temple.

Ever since I heard the name from the old man's mouth last night.

The black cat's heart has always been difficult to solve.

So he decided to follow the animal's instincts and go to the field to find out. At this time, the drizzle that accompanied it also showed its due function.

That is, as long as the target remains in the rain, it does not need a map to find it.

And the rain brought by the cloud ghost was controlled by him "himself" in an area of about an urban area.

So in this urban area, Jiang Sheng was able to detect almost anything, except for the area covered by closed buildings.

Duan Bodhisattva Temple.

It is located in the southeast of Xiahe District.

There is a Blue Mountain River, and behind the Blue Mountain River is the main hall of the temple.

Originally, Jiang Sheng could have visited in the name of tourists.

However, considering that there are some places where people can't get in, but cats can.

So Jiang Sheng dispelled the idea of going to the temple in the image of a young man.

"Step!"

With the fence on the side of the road, there was a splash of water.

The black cat, which dragged its body with its spiritual power and then made its movements extremely light, ran around the city at full speed.

A police officer patrolling with an umbrella only felt a breeze blowing in his ears.

By the time he turned his head to look, there was nothing left in the drizzle.

As time passed, Jiang Sheng's control of spiritual power became more and more proficient.

After all, there are more than two experienced "teachers" in its body.

Moreover, it will also absorb the spiritual power that has escaped from the two, and even gain some hazy memories from time to time.

Although the content of these memories is mostly empty and long darkness.

But once in a while, ginger can get some useful tips as well.

It's completely random.

However, Jiang Sheng couldn't digest too many memories in one go.

Sometimes, it has to learn to say no, because its soul is still very thin. You need to continue to grow in order to take on more.

The speed of the black cat is indeed very fast, and it only took about ten minutes for it to reach the destination of this trip.

Duan Bodhisattva Temple by the Blue Mountain River.

From the outside, there should be nothing wrong with this old temple.

The architectural style is antique, and the area is not large or small.

In mid-air, there is a faint incense, and near the front is a narrow path in the forest.

But why, do I have a cold feeling in my heart?

Wander around the perimeter of the temple.

The black cat's brow furrowed slightly, and its beard trembled uncontrollably.

The beast's instincts seemed to warn it of a threat ahead.

But as far as the eye could see, Jiang Sheng didn't find anything abnormal.

At this time, the cloud ghost appeared and said faintly.

"Hiss (nearby, there are traces of a circle)."

"Meow (circle)?"

Out of vigilance, Jiang Sheng pretended to be a wild cat.

"Hey (you haven't gotten this information yet, it's normal not to understand)."

As he spoke, the cloud ghost retreated into Jiang Sheng's body.

"Hiss (Don't use spiritual power yet, try to sneak in as quietly as possible.) I'll also inform the raincoat so that she can hide her breath. This place is definitely not a normal temple). ”

"Meow (understood)."

After receiving the cloud ghost's suggestion, Jiang Sheng immediately withdrew the spiritual power around his body.

And with silent steps, he jumped up to the courtyard wall of the old temple.

Almost the moment he entered the temple, Jiang Sheng felt a palpitation in his heart.

It was as if something dangerous was eyeing it.

This taste of being on his back made Jiang Sheng almost turn around and flee.

Luckily, it's seen a big scene.

So much so that he held back the uneasiness in his heart, and learned to be an ordinary wild cat, squatting on the wall and licking his paws.

Unlike the terrifying aura of nothingness, the real scene in the temple seemed extremely ordinary.

In the small courtyard, there is an incense burner.

There is a candlestick on each side, and on it is supposed to be a red candle that the faithful burn.

Probably because of the rain, the temple is a little deserted at the moment.

There were no pilgrims who came to worship the Buddha, only a little girl who looked no more than a teenager, standing in front of the lobby and sweeping the floor.

The girl's hair was scattered and half covered her face.

The temperament should be a little gloomy, but the demeanor is very well-behaved.

When sweeping the floor, I was very attentive and careful, and the corners did not fall.

It may have noticed the arrival of Jiang Sheng.

The girl raised her gaze to look at the black cat.

Then he smiled and waved his hand.

Her movements are a little restrained, but they are kind.

His lips moved, but he didn't make a sound.

Only the face that is half covered by hair may not be very pleasing, and even a little pretentious.

This girl, could it be the girl who was hosted to help?

Jiang Sheng thought about it and ignored the other party. Just jumped and slipped into the temple.

The main hall of the temple is not large, and there is only one Buddha statue inside.

Or rather, the statue of Guanyin.

When Jiang Sheng saw this statue, his eyes tightened unconsciously.

Because this statue of Guanyin has no head, but only an object in its hand, and the object is covered with a red cloth.

If you want to die, this bodhisattva's head will not be held in your own hands.

Are you kidding.

This kind of Buddha statue is also worshipped?

Involuntarily, he moved his gaze to the profile near the Guanyin statue, and Jiang Sheng had a general understanding of the history of the other party.

Legend has it that this Duan Bodhisattva Temple should have been called the Blue Bodhisattva Temple.

It is dedicated to a bodhisattva who once paced in the Blue Mountains.

It was only later, in the war, that the golden statue of the Bodhisattva was destroyed.

The head landed on the hand of the sculpture, killing an officer who tried to dismantle the gem.

Later, the thieves who invaded Lanshan County all died in a plague.

As for the original residents of Lanshan County, they were not affected at all.

So, the people hurriedly offered the Bodhisattva again, and then rebuilt the temple.

It's just that at this time, no one dares to touch the golden body of the Bodhisattva.

Therefore, the residents of Lanshan County can only cover the Bodhisattva's hands with a layer of red cloth.

And changed the name of the temple gate to Duan Bodhisattva Temple.

Until today, Lanshan County has become Lanshan City.

As for the rebuilt Duan Bodhisattva Temple, it has always stood in the Xiahe District and has never changed.

The story is quite normal.

But don't you feel panicked when you worship such a bodhisattva?

He took two steps back, and Jiang Sheng seemed to want to bypass the Guanyin statue in front of him.

However, in the next second, the voice of the cloud ghost sounded in its ears.

"Hiss (jump on it, remove that layer of cloth, there's something wrong inside)."

"Meow (now)?"

Jiang Sheng felt a trace of resistance for no reason.

"Hiss (right now)."

The cloud ghost still wanted to urge.

Unfortunately, at this moment, a footstep was already heard.
