Although the temple is small, it seems to be relatively elaborate, not directly built with adobe, but with some adobe bricks on three sides, and the small roof is also covered with a few gray tiles.

As for why it is a mud bodhisattva and not a land lord, it is because the idol in the temple is sitting cross-legged on the ground with his hands folded.

At this time, Chu Hang woke up Yang Bencai in the car, and the two of them had already gotten out of the carriage and were moving their hands and feet over there.

When the coachman saw Yi Shuyuan observing the small temple, he also came over and bowed several times to the Buddha statue in the small temple next to Yi Shuyuan.

"Brother, which Bodhisattva is this?" The coachman replied to Yi Shuyuan after bowing.

"I don't know which Bodhisattva it is, anyway, there has always been, passing by to rest, pray for peace. Yi Shuyuan nodded, the car dealer didn't know, so he could only be a nameless bodhisattva for the time being.

Gray Mian's eyes also looked at Xiao Miao through Yi Shuyuan's hair, and whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear. "Sir, it's not an empty temple, but it's weird....."

Of course Yi Shuyuan knows, although this temple is small, the Buddha statue has been lit up, but it is not clear who is enshrined.

As for the strangeness in Ash Mian's mouth, it is because this temple has a master sitting, yes, just sitting.

Ordinary Buddha statues may be associated with bodhisattvas, but few true gods sit in them, and the so-called incarnations are just a kind of rhetoric for connecting gods, unless you are really lucky enough to travel here in the right body.

But even if he saw it, Yi Shuyuan didn't want to disturb the other party, after all, the other party didn't probe outward at all, as if he was sealed in the statue.

"Alas, there's such a small temple over there!"

Yang Bencai's voice came, and he quickly walked over with Chu Hang.

"Come on, come on, let's bow too!"

Yang Bencai bowed very naturally, and Chu Hang followed suit, and there were words in his mouth.

"Barren mountains and mountains, the land is blessed!"

"Brother Chu, this is not the land lord, this is obviously a Buddha statue, don't blame the Bodhisattva, don't blame the Bodhisattva!" Yang Bencai bowed again and again, and Chu Hang hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva, don't blame." ”

After the coachman finished worshipping, Yang Bencai and Chu Hang also bowed, and Yi Shuyuan stood alone on the side and didn't move, which seemed a little weird.

"Mr. Yi, don't you want to bow down?"

Yang Ben just asked, and Yi Shuyuan shook his head.

"Visiting the gods and Buddhas in the temple is just asking for a psychological comfort, if your own virtue is not enough, how can the gods and Buddhas bless you? If you are virtuous enough and have a clear conscience, why do you need to ask God to worship the Buddha? ”

Yi Shuyuan found a reason for his behavior, and others also felt that it made sense.

There were two rooms on the other side, one of which was more dilapidated, with a roof half collapsed, and the old horse who had unloaded the cart was chained to the broken house by the coachman.

One room was solid, except that the door was half broken, and the oiled paper on the window was all tattered, but it was not a big problem to rest for the night.

The group cleaned up the house casually, then picked up some firewood from the surrounding area, and then lit a bonfire.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, after the campfire was lit, it felt like it was darkening very quickly.

Although the weather has warmed up, the night is still a little cold, and after all, it is at the foot of the mountain, and the bonfire brings not only warmth, but also some security.

The coachman roasted a few steamed buns while bragging with the three guests.

"I heard that when there was chaos in the past, there were a lot of fierce beasts in Yanshan, jackals, tigers and leopards, and I heard that there were monsters!"

Yang Bencai's heart tightened when he heard this, and Chu Hang's heart was even more furious, but Yi Shuyuan asked with great interest. "Oh? What kind of youkai is that? ”

"Well, let's say fox spirits, like tiger spirits, and mountain ghosts!" Yang Bencai is superstitious, which will make him frightened.

"So much? Aren't we safe? ”

"That was before! Some people with low luck may have been lost when they encounter ghosts hitting the wall when they enter the mountain, and then the imperial court vigorously rectified it, and invited the heavenly master and all the masters to clean up the mountain, I tell you......"

The coachman talked about the Tao at the head, and some places he couldn't remember and made it up.

And Yi Shuyuan listened with relish, although he spoke very simply, he could also imagine some things.

Some stories are not fake, monsters are really difficult to deal with when they become climate, and when they are not climate, although they are terrible for ordinary people, some warlocks and mages may not be able to get rid of them.

"Sir, it can't be what Qi Xiaozi did when he was young, right?"

Gray Mian whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear, Yi Shuyuan's lips moved slightly, and he replied in Gray Mian's ear with a murmuring voice.

"I don't know, but I think it's the same era."

Qi Zhongbin studied the law very early, at the age of twenty-one he went out of the mountains to break into the world, that Dayong was more chaotic, less than thirty years old already has some fame, decades ago by Dayong's Emperor Huai as one of the protectors of the country, there is a title and from the five products, but there is no Lu.

It seems that the people in the car dealer are more talkative, and the coachman chats while baking the steamed buns, and after the steamed buns are finished, he continues to say, and he doesn't take a sip of water.

"Woo Ai Ai Ai...... Poof....."

The old horse outside the courtyard neighed, and the coachman immediately stopped, stood up and walked to the door and looked at the dilapidated house not far away, the old horse inside shook his head and snorted, and he looked at the position of the carriage again, and he couldn't see clearly.

The coachman turned back to the three.

"I'm going to see the horses and chariots, and maybe a snake is startling the horses."

So saying, the coachman drew a burning stick from the campfire and walked out. "Snakes?"

Gray Mian's spirit perked up, and he rushed out all of a sudden, it was too fast, and no one except Yi Shuyuan found it at all.

Just listened to the coachman Kan Dashan, and then he suddenly went out because of the movement, Chu Hang and Yang Bencai felt a little hairy, and the former asked carefully.

"Mr. Yi, there's nothing wrong, right? I always feel that there is a lot of yin qi....." Yi Shuyuan deliberately looked at Chu Hang with surprised eyes.

"You see that?" "Is there really yin?"

Yang Bencai also asked, and Yi Shuyuan grinned and shook his head. "There's no yin qi, don't scare yourself."

There is no yin qi, but there is some demon qi, and it has always been, Yi Shuyuan is not referring to gray Mian.

Outside the house, the coachman protected a little fire with his hand, and first went to the broken house to look at the old horse, he took pictures up and down, and saw no snakes and insects, so he went to the position of the carriage to look, and naturally there were no thieves.

"Oops, I forgot to feed some night grass!"

The coachman quickly took down a sack from the back of the carriage, took some hay from it into the broken house, and placed the hay in front of the old horse.

"Eat, eat, let's go tomorrow." "Poof....."

The old horse snorted, lowered his head and began to graze.

The coachman looked at it for a while, and then returned to the house with the stick, which was now extinguished.

In the corner where the ruined house had collapsed, a little gray sable came out with a snake in its mouth, looked up at the old horse grazing, released its mouth and pressed the snake with its two paws.

The snake was as thick as two adult fingers, and its whole size was much larger than that of a mink, but it could not move when it was pressed by two small claws, and only its tail could flick a few times.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

Seeing that the horse was eating well, Gray Mian suddenly asked in a low voice, and the old horse's body shook suddenly, and he screamed in horror.

"Woooooo

The driver rushed out at once, shouting as he ran.

"What bastard would dare steal my horse—we're quite a few—"

Yi Shuyuan and the others also came out together, the coachman led the way with a wooden stick in his hand, and the four of them looked around the broken house for a while, and then walked around the courtyard again, but they didn't see anyone.

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief, went to the broken house, checked the old horse, and stroked it a few more times. "Are you alright?"

Chu Hang asked, and the coachman smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you for the three of you coming out together!"

"Oh, I said, brother, can you not be surprised?" "yes, I'm going to be scared to death by you tonight!" The driver apologized slightly in embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, please forgive me..... "Okay, it's okay!"

Yi Shuyuan said this, glanced at the old horse again, and then went back to the house with the three of them.

When the four of them had returned to the house, the gray man with the snake in his mouth came out again, and the old horse's face was nervously aimed at the mink in the corner.

"Can you not be surprised? Surprise me! ”

Ash Mian complained, gnawed off the snake's head in one bite, and puffed out his cheeks and chewed in his mouth. The old horse snorted, and the horse's head turned to the left and to the right, and there was obvious surprise in his eyes.

Gray Mian puffed out his cheeks, holding the snake that was headless but still twitching, the horse's head turned to the left, Gray Mian chewed a few times and turned his head to look at the horse's face, the horse's head turned to the right, and Gray Mian chewed a few more times and turned his head to the horse's face.

"Gollum~"

The head of the snake was swallowed, and Ash Mian "crunched" a large mouthful of snake meat, still puffing out his cheeks and chewing while looking at the horse.

"Crunch squeak, squeak, squeak...."

Under the sound of chewing, the scene is quite funny, but the smaller one is calm and can still be distracted from cooking, and the big one is always nervous, and the grass can't take care of eating.

"I see, you've never seen other youkai, have you?"

Gray Mian's voice was thin, but clear, and the old horse's eyes widened, and there was no superfluous reaction. Gray Mian looked down at the snake body that was still half left, and picked up the snake body that was still dripping with blood with both claws. "Would you like to taste it?"

After all, I like to eat vegetarian things after I become fine, and I feel that Ma Chengjing may not be able to open meat "poof~~~"

After a snap, the horse's head shook from side to side.

Gray Mian held the snake and took a bite again, it seemed that he could understand human words, indicating that he did have spiritual wisdom. But it's a pity that this horse shouldn't have refined the horizontal bones yet, so he can't speak at all.

Gray Mian talked to Ma while eating, and when he finished eating, he said hello and went back to the house, whispering in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

Soon the night was getting deep, and the people in the house, covered with hay and bedding, fell asleep one after another, and fell asleep peacefully.

At night, some of the animals in the depths of the mountain seem to be moving.

Outside this deserted courtyard, some animals appeared one after another, including foxes, wild deer, and bobcats, and they entered the courtyard one after another, and came to the vicinity of the small temple, and the night owls flapped their wings and fell.

The old horse in the dilapidated house easily loosened the reins and walked out of the dilapidated house with its hooves, but instead of going to the small temple at once, he went outside the well-conditioned house.

"Poof~~~~" The old horse snorted.

After a while, Gray Mian poked a mink out of the hole in the window and looked out, and whispered. "Are you calling me?"

The old horse shook the reins and nodded, and Gray Mian came out of the window and jumped on the horse's head at once.

When the old horse also arrived in front of the small temple, Gray Mian sent a lot of small animals here, and the old horse also crawled down in an empty place, and all kinds of animals were safe.

The mud bodhisattvas in the small temple were still sitting there with their hands folded, as if looking out with a kind face. Time passed for a while, and some voices seemed to appear in the small temple.

Gray Mian listened carefully and found that it was actually some Buddhist scriptures, as if the Bodhisattva in the temple was chanting the scriptures in a low voice.

Some people died, but not completely......
