Rain?

Wei Yang looked up at the sky, although the sun was not blocked at the moment, it was still a blue sky, and it didn't look like it was going to rain.

Lin Ye saw Wei Yang's puzzled expression, but he didn't explain, but looked to the left, and on the mountainside, there was a dilapidated and deserted temple.

"Let's go over there and take shelter from the rain."

Lin Ye took the lead and walked towards the mountainside on the left, although Wei Yang was full of doubts, but Lin Ye was gone, so he had to follow.

From the top of the mountain to the mountainside, in just a quarter of an hour, Wei Yang looked at the ruined temple in front of him.

It is said that it is a broken temple, but in fact it is more like a small stone house built of stone for people to rest temporarily, and there is a stone Bodhisattva in the house, judging from the style of the sculpture, it is not the common appearance of the temple on weekdays.

"This should be a local Buddhist Bodhisattva sculpture, which is a little different from the Sinicized Buddhist Bodhisattva in our country."

When Wei Yang saw this Bodhisattva Buddha statue, he recognized it as a local Buddhist Bodhisattva at a glance, and explained to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye glanced at this Bodhisattva and retracted his gaze, Buddhism on this side of Helan Mountain is different from Buddhism in the southeast and north, most of the Buddhism in China is mainly Zen Buddhism, but not on Helan Mountain.

"Advisor Lin, there are many idols enshrined like this on the mountain, but most of them are deserted."

"Since it's deserted, and this is a stone body, then give us the place to hide from the rain."

Lin Ye stepped forward and moved the stone-bodied Bodhisattva out of the stone house, and Wei Yang was dumbfounded.

Since he joined the laboratory, he has seen supernatural energy, and he is very in awe of this aspect, Consultant Lin is a stranger, so it stands to reason that he will change his awe of these, how can he dare to move the Bodhisattva's stone body?

Thundered!

Just when Wei Yang was confused, there was a sudden sound of rolling thunder in the sky, which startled him, and when he looked up, he found that the original blue sky was covered by dark clouds.

The rainstorm is coming.

The rain like beans poured down from the sky, and there was a stone house shelter but it was not wet by the rain, looking at the dense rain curtain outside the stone house, Wei Yang somewhat agreed with Advisor Lin's actions.

It doesn't matter if it's disrespectful, at least you don't have to get your clothes wet, and with a stone house to block the rain, you can enjoy the rain scenery of the mountains and forests comfortably.

Wei Yang looked back, this look was a little stunned, Advisor Lin was sitting cross-legged in the position where the Bodhisattva had been placed before, his eyes closed, and his expression was somewhat similar to the stone carving Bodhisattva.

This...... It's too disrespectful to the Bodhisattva.

Even if Advisor Lin is not a disciple of Buddhism and occupies the position of the other Bodhisattva, there is no need to sit in the position that the Bodhisattva did before.

Could it be that this Advisor Lin has grievances with Buddhism?

Just as Wei Yang was thinking wildly, the rain suddenly stopped, the dark clouds dispersed in an instant, and the sun appeared in the sky again.

It took only five minutes.

Wei Yang was a little stunned, in Helan Mountain over the years, of course he knew that the weather in the mountains often changed when he said it, but it was rare for a rain to disappear after five minutes.

Hearing the sound of drums, Wei Yang looked at the direction of the foot of the mountain, and when he saw a team of red centaurs there, he said to Lin Ye: "Consultant Lin, we are really coincidental this time." ”

"How?" Lin Ye asked curiously, and he also saw the red team at the foot of the mountain.

"I actually ran into Taishou out on patrol!" Wei Yang explained faster: "Helan Mountain has had many wars due to historical reasons, and many soldiers and generals have died in Helan Mountain, among them, not long ago, there was an ancient official who died in battle The soul awakened, this is the ancient Taishou, after waking up, he did not go to the underworld to reincarnate, but imitated the ancient city god, recruited a group of dead souls who also died in battle, and sealed an area as a jurisdiction, and every once in a while he would patrol this area with many dead souls. ”

"Your laboratory doesn't care about this?"

Lin Ye looked at Wei Yang, the laboratory just let this ghost Taishou continue to develop his power?

"This ghost Taishou was recorded in history during his lifetime, and the local local chronicles recorded that this Taishou once led soldiers to kill hundreds of enemies and protect the people in the frontier from being violated, and the team leader had contact with this ghost Taishou, and the other party made it clear that he would not go out of Helan Mountain."

Lin Ye understood the meaning of Wei Yang's words.

Ghost Taishou was a national hero during his lifetime, and he promised not to go out of Helan Mountain, so the laboratory thought that more things were better than less, and chose to stand by and watch.

This is already the depths of Helan Mountain, there are no people living there, this ghost Taishou wants to live a handful of Chenghuang Ye's addiction, then let him be, and even the laboratory hopes that this ghost Taishou will expand his territory and recruit all the dead souls to his command, and there will be no dead souls running out of Helan Mountain to make trouble.

"In fact, it's not just this ghost Taishou, there are many ghost forces of all sizes in Helan Mountain, just Shan Yu and Khan, there are several, these ghost forces fight each other, continue the war of the year, our laboratory persuaded a few times, but these ghosts don't listen, and we don't want to interfere in their battles, after all, they are all a family now."

Wei Yang smiled, but this smile was a little vain, Lin Ye estimated that there was indeed a reason why he didn't interfere now, but I am afraid that the Helan Mountain Laboratory also had the idea that these ghosts would fight each other and lose both.

"Consultant Lin, I remembered, this stone carving Bodhisattva may be placed here by the ghost Taishou, the local chronicles record that when the ghost Taishou came here to take office, because the local aborigines have not yet been civilized and disobeyed the discipline of the government, the ghost Taishou is to introduce Buddhism, build temples in the jurisdiction, and then let the local aborigines slowly believe in Buddhism, and he is a self-proclaimed Buddhist protector, relying on this method, so that the people and the government are united, when there were enemy troops to besiege the city, they insisted on holding the city for three months, and finally the enemy army could only retreat."

"Oh, such a powerful person, why is it not recorded in the history books?"

Like this kind of guarding the frontier, but also guarding the city for more than three months, so that the enemy army returned in vain, it will generally be recorded in the history books, to put it bluntly, the emperors of various dynasties hope that they can be praised by future generations after their deaths, as long as it is a good thing will be recorded by the historian.

This matter can be regarded as a plus point for the emperor.

"This is not clear, probably because of the inconvenient transportation at that time, after all, this is too far away from the center of the ancient dynasty, and it may be that although the enemy army failed to break through the city at that time, it blocked the surrounding official roads, and the information could not be transmitted to the court, and it is also recorded in the local chronicles that this Taishou died of illness within a few years."

What Wei Yang explained was also the result of their inference.

"Consultant Lin, our laboratory has dealt with this ghost Taishou, and this ghost Taishou will not embarrass us, but should this Bodhisattva stone statue be put back first?"

In Wei Yang's opinion, the ghost Taishou was afraid of their appraisal, and under normal circumstances, he would not deal with the people in the laboratory, but Consultant Lin moved the stone statue of the Bodhisattva away, for fear that this ghost Taishou would be mad because of this.

"No, I'm a little curious about this ghost Taishou."

Lin Ye rejected Wei Yang's proposal, and the team at the foot of the mountain had already reached the mountainside while speaking, and the first to arrive in front of Lin Ye and Wei Yang were the twelve ghost riders.

Dressed in shabby armor, holding a spear, and with cold eyes, he stared at Lin Ye and Wei Yang.

"We're from the laboratory!"

Wei Yang immediately showed his identity, and at the same time he was a little surprised in his heart, the last time he saw the ghost Taishou with the team leader, there was no ghost riding at that time, and now it is only a year, and the power of the ghost Taishou has increased again.

The twelve ghost riders just stared at Lin Ye and Wei Yang with cold eyes, and did not make a move, behind them, the sound of drums came, and the twelve ghost riders were separated, but the position they were standing in was exactly to enclose the stone house, no matter which direction Lin Ye and Wei Yang wanted to break through, they would be blocked by a ghost horseman.

As the ghost rider moved out of the way, several bands with long flags, gongs and drums appeared.

The band stood on either side, two groups of well-armored soldiers, with long knives at their waists.

In the back, there is a chariot.

Four handmaidens stood in front of the chariot.

Behind the chariot were still two teams of ghost riders, with no less than 100 people.

This scene, even if it was an ancient Taishou patrolling, it was nothing more than that.

"This official Helan Mountain is too guarded, why don't you kneel when you see this official?"

A majestic voice came from inside the chariot, and the twelve ghost riders raised their spears, full of murderous intent for a moment.

"Lord Taishou, we are from the Helan Mountain Laboratory, this time we are passing by here, I don't know if you are on patrol, please forgive me if you are offended."

Wei Yang opened his mouth to explain the reason, and at the same time lowered his posture, which was also the usual attitude of their laboratory towards Helan Mountain, the leader of the ghost force.

"Someone from the laboratory? Since you are a person from the laboratory, you should know the agreement between the official and the laboratory, why do you want to move the Bodhisattva enshrined by the official! ”

"This ......"

Wei Yang didn't know how to answer, and looked at Lin Ye, but Lin Ye said lightly: "Just because it's raining, it just so happens that this stone house can shelter from the rain, but the stone house is narrow, so I can only ask the Bodhisattva to give up a place, and I won't blame the Bodhisattva for being compassionate!" ”

"The Bodhisattva's compassion will not be blamed, but if you are disrespectful to the Bodhisattva, how can the official be spared, read that the two of you are the laboratory, and the official and your boss can also be regarded as having some friendship, which is a small punishment and a big commandment, and the two of you can kowtow to the Bodhisattva stone statue and apologize."

Listening to the words of the ghost Taishou, Wei Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, just kowtowing to the Bodhisattva stone statue and apologizing was nothing, the ghost Taishou was indeed giving face to his team leader.

However, when he saw that Lin Ye was still smiling and groaning, he felt a sigh in his heart, he was nothing, but he forgot that Advisor Lin might not necessarily accept this punishment.

Consultant Lin dared to move the stone statue out of the stone house before, obviously because he was not interested in the Bodhisattva.

"Consultant Lin, there are many of them......"

Wei Yang muttered in a low voice, which meant to let Lin Ye be soft first, even if you are an alien, you may not be afraid of this ghost Taishou outside, but this is Helan Mountain after all, and you have also seen this ghost Taishou's people and horses, so many ghost rides, it is not something that the two of them can deal with.

"Kowtow to the Bodhisattva, I'm afraid the Bodhisattva won't be able to bear it."

Lin Ye said meaningfully, and then without waiting for the ghost Taishou to reply, he turned to the stone statue Bodhisattva, and did not kneel down but bowed.

"You dare to accept this gift!"

After bowing, Lin Ye suddenly let out a loud shout, and the stone statue Bodhisattva actually cracked, and the crack expanded rapidly, but in a few breaths, it shattered into more than a dozen pieces and fell to the ground.

Wei Yang was stunned.

What shocked Wei Yang even more was that Advisor Lin's shouting was not only the shattering of the Bodhisattva's stone statue, but also the horses under the feet of those ghost riders seemed to be frightened by something, and they raised their hooves to throw the ghost riders off their horses, and then turned into a cloud of ghost mist and dissipated.

Hundreds of ghosts rode and fell off their horses, that is, because they were ghosts, they would not feel any pain, otherwise they would have wailed in pain at this moment.

But even if these ghost riders didn't wail, the majestic momentum of this ghost guard's patrol also dissipated.

"You...... Who are you and whom! ”

There was the voice of the ghost taishou from the chariot, but this time Wei Yang heard it, and the voice of the ghost taishou was not coercive before, but full of horror.

"Without the approval of the Heavenly Dao, without the forgiveness of the Yin Division, and dare to call himself a ghost Taishou, follow the Yin Division City God to go out on patrol, what a great courage!"

Lin Ye's tone was cold, the curtain of the chariot was lifted, and a middle-aged man in an official uniform walked out of it, the man's expression was terrifying, and when he saw Lin Ye, his body began to tremble.

"Yin ...... Yin Si, the little Li Qian has seen an adult! ”

The middle-aged man got out of the car in a hurry, and even fell off the chariot without stepping on his foot properly because he was too panicked, but even so, he still knelt on the ground and kowtowed for the first time.

The soldiers and ghost riders looked at the middle-aged man blankly, obviously not understanding why the adults in their eyes would do something that only they would do before.

"Li Qian? Isn't your name Chen Qian? ”

Wei Yangxian was surprised, according to the investigation of their laboratory, this ghost Taishou was named Chen Qian, and he was the Taishou of Helan Mountain during the Han Dynasty.

"That'...... That's the adult's name that the villain served before his death, and the villain has stolen the adult's name......"

Li Qian felt the aura of Yin Si on Lin Ye's body, and knew that it was impossible to hide it from Lin Ye, so he directly chose to confess, Wei Yang was stunned when he heard Li Qian's words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Li Qian, was the staff of Chen Qian, the Taishou of the Han Dynasty stationed in Helan Mountain, after Chen Qian died of illness, according to the instructions left by his own adult, Li Qian, as a staff member, was buried in Helan Mountain with the body of his own adult, and he himself was sick within a few years, so he also chose a cemetery near the tomb of his own adult to bury himself.

Ten years ago, Li Qian's ghost suddenly woke up, at first he was guarding the grave of his own adult, but after a few years he was fed up with this boring life, the most important thing is that he found that Helan Mountain buried the souls of many soldiers, thinking of the majesty of his own adult, he also moved his mind, entered the tomb of his own adult, and found the official uniform and official seal worn by his own adult.

Then he pretended to be the name of his own adult, relying on some of the soul-conjuring techniques he learned before his death, and summoned the souls of the Han soldiers buried in the mountains.

But these remnant souls maintained some consciousness before their deaths, and when they saw Li Qian's official uniform and official seal, they obeyed Li Qian's call.

"I've only heard of the impersonation of the living, and I haven't heard of the impersonation of ghosts." Wei Yang couldn't help but mutter.

Lin Ye listened to Wei Yang's words, but said with deep meaning: "The official uniform and official seal are not so easy to replace. ”

PS: On the first day of the first lunar month, I wish you an early year and wish you all a happy Year of the Rabbit!
