Speaking of this, the village chief sighed, and then said: "There is a good saying, a monk has water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, three monks have no water to drink, and he is left in the temple."

"Zhicong"

Hearing this name, Bai Wei frowned slightly.

When the old village chief saw it, he hurriedly asked, "Master, you shouldn't be suspicious of Monk Zhicong, right?" He is a good man, and every once in a while he goes to our village to buy groceries and do funeral rituals.

"Yes, yes, yes, they all like him!" The nosebleed man also nodded his head next to him and said: "Don't talk about others, just say that Yang Lao Er and his daughter-in-law in the east of the village are all fascinated by him, every time Zhicong goes down the mountain to buy vegetables in our village, his daughter-in-law sends dumplings over."

"What? When? ”

As soon as the nosebleed man spoke, he saw a tall and thin man coming out of the crowd behind him, glaring at the nosebleed man fiercely, as if he wanted to stare out his eyes

When the nosebleed man saw it, he immediately looked embarrassed, and he smiled and said, "Yo, Yang Er, you are also there"

The tall and thin man didn't have time to be polite with the man with nosebleeds, and the expression on his face twisted all over the place for a while, and finally he turned around and rushed down the mountain with a fierce glare

"This loser even hooks up with a monk! I'm going to fight with her! ”

As he spoke, the tall and thin man Deng Deng Deng rushed away without a trace.

This was a small episode after all, and everyone didn't care, so they continued to walk forward, who knew that it was a coincidence, seeing that everyone had followed Bai Wei and us to the halfway up the mountain, the paper crane fell impartially in front of the steps of a dilapidated temple in front of them, and at this moment, everyone was stunned

I heard the old village chief muttering timidly: "My mother, shouldn't that black hand really hide in the temple, is it possible that something happened to the monk Zhicong?" ”

Bai Wei ignored it, took a few steps forward and walked to the front of the steps, first took the paper crane back into the magic bag, and then began to knock on the temple door with a bang.

After a while, I heard a response from inside

"It's coming, who's going to let people sleep in the middle of the night?"

Immediately after that, I heard a squeak, the temple door opened, and a bright head stretched out of the door first, it was a big monk in his thirties with stubble on his face, it looked like the five big and three were simple and simple, obviously the monk Zhicong in the temple, as soon as he showed his head, he was frightened by a group of villagers gathered at the gate of the temple

"You guys, what are you doing here?"

When the old village chief saw it, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Monk Zhicong, don't be afraid, let's go up with this master to catch ghosts and pass by."

"Catching ghosts? Come to me to catch ghosts? ”

Hearing this, the monk Zhicong was stunned, and hurriedly looked up at the plaque hanging above the temple gate, and after confirming that he was indeed in the temple, he smiled and said: "Everyone, look at what kind of place this is, this is a place where gods and Buddhas are sheltered, how can there be ghosts?" ”

The old village chief smiled after hearing this, nodded and said: "That's right, that's right, we also told the master so, but the master's bird just landed in front of the gate of your temple, there is no way, I can only bother you, come and have a look."

"Birds? What bird? ”

After hearing this, Zhicong turned his head and looked at Bai Wei, first looked back and forth on Bai Wei, and then scratched his head in surprise and asked, "This must be a master, right?" Are you mistaken, how can there be ghosts in the place where the gods and Buddhas are sheltered? ”

Bai Wei snorted coldly after hearing this: "If you have dates and no dates, you won't be able to hit three poles."

As she spoke, Bai Wei wanted to rush to the temple gate, but she was stopped by the great monk Zhicong, and said in a panic: "This female master, you can't break in blindly!" If you disturb the tranquility of the gods and Buddhas in the middle of the night, no one can afford it."

As soon as Zhicong's words came out, the villagers who came with him also turned their spears to persuade Bai Weilai, and pleaded in a panic: "Master, you can't break in!" This is a temple! Breaking into the temple in the middle of the night, what kind of system is this! ”

Bai Wei smiled coldly after hearing this, and replied, "Heh, then if that female ghost is hiding in the temple, is it possible that I will wait until the morning to arrest her?" ”

Hearing this, Zhicong frowned, hurriedly retreated two steps to the side, made a way out in front of the temple gate, and frowned and said to Bai Wei with a slightly angry face: "Girl, your words are a bit blasphemous, okay, since you have to say that there are ghosts hidden in our temple, then I have nothing to say, even if you go in and search, but if you can't find the ghosts, you will come to disturb the gods and Buddhas in the middle of the night, you have to take full responsibility!" ”

"Okay, I'm responsible!"

Bai Wei said that she was going to the temple again, how did she know that she had just crossed the threshold in one step, and suddenly stopped again, rolled her eyes, withdrew her feet from the temple gate, and smiled coldly at the Zhicong monk and said: "What you said reminded me, that female ghost is not alone, there is a mastermind behind the scenes, how could he let us find the female ghost so easily?" ”

Speaking of this, Bai Wei turned her head and looked at me again, smiled coldly and said, "Little Liuzi, it's time for you to behave."

This time, without waiting for Bai Wei to explain, I had already reacted, so I also smiled, took out the box containing the sacrificial vessel from my body, opened the box, and directly took out the copper kettle to swallow a hundred ghosts.

Seeing that I seemed to have opened her mind, Bai Wei nodded with satisfaction, and I didn't hesitate, I used my thumb nail to cover the belly of my index finger and lightly swiped it, squeezed a few drops of blood into the swallowing ghost, and sat cross-legged on the ground and began to recite the mantra silently.

The curse was recited three times, only to feel a gust of wind and grass in the mountains, with the gusts of yin wind blowing stronger and stronger, in the surrounding swaying mountains and forests, there were first bursts of birds and beasts screaming, and then listening to bursts of strange cries and strange cries and small to big, and weak to strong, undoubtedly the ghosts hidden in the mountains and forests have reacted because of the copper pot swallowing a hundred ghosts

The atmosphere in the mountain changed suddenly, and the villagers who came up the mountain were all frightened, and they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and sweated, and they trembled and looked left and right in anticipation and swallowed spit

While I was concentrating on meditating and chanting mantras, a faint, slightly trembling voice came from my ears

"The Immortal Spares His Life, the Immortal Spares His Life"

Hearing that voice, I was stunned for a moment, and then I felt a sudden dizziness in my mind, obviously closed my eyes tightly, and it was pitch black in front of me, but in a moment, my body rose like a cloud, through a chaotic cloud, and was in a lush forest sea

I raised my eyes and looked ahead, and I saw a group of men, women, and children cowering behind the trees in front of them

Seeing that the men, women, and children were pale and their feet were not touching the ground, I could recognize at a glance that they were not ordinary people, so I was also extra vigilant and pulled out the boning knife from the back waist, and shouted angrily in front of me: "What are you doing? You're welcome not to come out again! ”

"Immortals spare their lives! Immortals spare their lives! ”

Listening to my roar, an old man hiding behind the tree begged for mercy, and then walked out from behind the tree tremblingly, and as soon as he appeared, he immediately fell to the ground in a panic, and said tremblingly: "There are no evil spirits in the mountains, and please spare the lives of our old and young."

Hearing this, I paused again and hurriedly asked, "You get up and speak first, I haven't even understood it now, who are you?" And what do you ask me to spare my life? ”

"Returning to the immortals, we are the wandering spirits of the mountain to escape from the world," the old man said timidly: "I originally lived in seclusion in the mountains and had no quarrel with the world, I don't know where I offended the immortals, the immortals actually used sacrificial vessels to condemn the small ones, the small ones were really at a loss, and I had no choice but to ask the immortals to show up, there is something to discuss, something to discuss."

As soon as I heard this, I understood, it turned out that these people who were hiding and hiding were all wandering ghosts and wild ghosts hidden in this mountain, and my sacrificial weapon devouring a hundred ghosts was the supreme treasure of collecting ghosts and subduing demons

As soon as I figured this out, I settled down, so I quickly put the knife back on my waist, waved my hand to signal the old man to get up, and then smiled and said, "Why, do you recognize me?" ”

The old man nodded in fright, and said in a panic: "The spiritual light on the head of the immortal is the reincarnation of Cao Guan, a heavenly man, and the little ones can recognize it at a glance."

"Heh, even if you know each other, then let me ask you, you said that you have no quarrel with the world, but there is obviously an evil ghost in this mountain that harms people, how do you explain this?"
