Before I could speak, Jin Shengshui was next to me and said, "Big brother, isn't this the old man outside?"

I said, "Yes, it's the old man."

Jin Shengshui said, "Didn't the old man say that he had worked hard for many years and had reached the level of a great ghost here?"

"How can there be a statue of him here?"

"This old guy, I'm afraid he has long said that he is at the Buddha level, this guy is quite modest, what about playing with us on a private interview?"

Me: "......"

I was a little speechless and said to Jin Shengshui, "Brother, how do you understand?"

Jin Shengshui said, "Otherwise?"

I said, "There's obviously something wrong with that."

"This old man is obviously the boss here, but he pretends to be a lonely ghost, obviously trying to trick us over."

Jin Shengshui: "Huh?"

He stared at the Buddha statue in surprise for a while, and then said to me, "Big brother, this kid tricked us over, he ...... What is he trying to do?"

I shook my head, "I don't know."

"But I don't think it's a good place to stay for long, so let's leave first."

The seventh master disagreed: "My daughter is nearby, I want to see him."

Jin Shengshui grabbed his arm: "You see a fart, now you are exactly the same as your daughter, you can go home and look in the mirror."

Ji Yansheng and I also said to the Seventh Master, "Let's find out what's going on here first, and then come back when it's safe, we won't delay you for long."

A few of us dragged the seventh master and hurriedly walked outside.

As soon as we reached the gate, we saw an old man with a smile on his face.

The old man looked stupid and stunned, and said curiously, "Masters, why do you want to leave all of a sudden?"

I said coldly, "Of course I'm leaving, if I don't leave, I'm waiting to be killed by you?"

The old man waved his hand again and again, and said with a dry smile, "Oh Yo Yo, Oh Yo Yo, where did the master say?"

"No matter how bold I am, I don't dare to harm the master."

"No, it's good, why should I harm the master. It doesn't make sense."

I hid the jade dagger in the palm of my hand and said, "Aren't you a lonely ghost? How can there be an idol of your god in this?"

The old man was stunned for a moment and said, "You don't know?"

I said, "Why do I know?"

The old man said, "Ahem! Master, it's all a misunderstanding."

"We low-level imps, big ghosts, corpse fairies...... What we dream of is to climb to the top, to be able to do nothing, to enjoy the offerings at the bottom."

"But it's so hard, we've worked hard all our lives and we haven't been able to do it."

"Later, I didn't know which smart person had a very active brain, so I thought of a way at once."

"He became the form of a Buddha. This Buddha is actually the enlightened monk back then."

"After becoming like him, we can comfort ourselves when we look in the mirror. It's as if we've become the upper echelons of the world."

"In essence, it doesn't help us, but at least psychologically, it makes us feel better, doesn't it?"

Me: "......"

Good guy, I've seen a lot of vain people, but it's the first time I've seen someone like this who wants to be a god and be so vain in this kind of place.

Jin Shengshui said, "Old man, now that you are free, don't you return to your original appearance?"

The old man sighed and said, "There is a good saying, if you wear a mask for a long time, you can't take it off."

Ben looks like this, and I'm used to my current face."

"So...... I'll just make do with it."

The old man looked absent-minded, casually explained a few words, and then asked us curiously, "What about your people? Did you find it?"

The Seventh Master shook his head: "I haven't found it yet."

He said to the old man, "You have been here for a long time, and you are familiar with this place, where do you think they are hiding?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "You are stumped by this, and I didn't hide them, how do I know where they are?"

The Seventh Master laughed and said, "I naturally know that you didn't hide it."

"I'm just asking you where they might be."

The old man said, "It depends on what they're here for."

"If you come to burn incense and worship the Buddha, then you have to go to the Buddha statue to find it."

"Which god do they believe in?"

The Seventh Master said, "They are not here to worship the Buddha, they are here to hide from the enemy."

The old man sighed and said, "That's what happened."

The Seventh Master said, "What? Got eyebrows?"

The old man said, "I have a little bit of an immature idea."

"Since they are here to hide from the enemy, then they will definitely go to some hidden places."

"And at the Temple of the Ten Thousand Buddhas, there aren't too many hidden places. If I had to look for it, I would know a place."

"If I were them, I'd probably be hiding inside."

The Seventh Master was overjoyed and said, "Take us to see it."

The old man agreed, leading the way.

We walked around the idols and ended up in a small building at the back of the temple.

Jin Shengshui said, "Is this small building the legendary Scripture Pavilion?"

The old man smiled and said, "No, in fact, this is the ladder to the sky."

Jin Shengshui: "Huh?"

The old man said, "You see, this building actually has only the third floor, not the first or second floor."

"These two floors are all fake, with some broken wooden boards nailed to the shell, and some doors and windows painted."

Jin Shengshui said, "Then how do you get to the third layer?"

The old man smiled and said, "So it's a ladder to the sky. Isn't it just a castle in the sky where the gods in the sky want to live?"
