This scene made everyone's backs cold, and the hairs immediately stood up!

The thousand-year-old ground niche, the snowy beams, the monk's robe and skeleton, and the rotting corpse ringing bell, these individual pictures alone are enough to be terrifying, and now that the dry bones of the monks have no signs of stopping, a chill immediately rushes from the soles of their feet to their heads, making them walk for a few minutes.

Keli's eyes were quick, and he pulled up his bow and arrows and sent them at the skeleton that rang the bell, only to hear the sound of a rattle, and the skeleton's arm was immediately nailed to the wall, and the bell rang stopped, and the surroundings returned to silence.

It's just that this deathly silence made everyone's hearts even more worried, they had just seen the skeleton ringing the bell, this picture was extremely paradoxical, no matter what, they couldn't forget it, and they only felt a chill when they thought about it.

"You saw the skeleton ring the bell just now, right?"

Seeing that everyone nodded, Song Siyuan pinched her arm, and was relieved to make sure that the pain came, she was worried just now that she had rushed down to the alcove and had been hit by some illusion, and all the people around her had already seen the skeleton ring the bell, which meant that she was not an illusion.

Wang Yuanqi himself is more superstitious, and when he saw the skeleton ringing the bell just now, he was already frightened and took a few steps back, and said in a trembling voice: "Could it be that this monk's soul is not gone, and he continues to ring the bell here for a thousand years?" ”

Thinking of this, he became more and more terrifying, he hurriedly knelt down towards the doorway, folded his hands and prayed: "Sins and sins, although you and I are not the same religion, but in the end we are all cultivators, we people just want to find noisy and strange noises, and we have no intention of disturbing the monk's practice, and we hope that the monk will circle us." ”

"Daoist Wang, if you are really so timid, go up and stay first, knock and bow to a pair of rotten bones, no matter what's going on, you are not afraid of insulting Sanqing's face."

Xu Xiake just wanted to pull Daoist Wang up, but the old Taoist priest was obviously frightened, knelt on the ground and was reluctant to get up, muttering in his mouth: "You don't know, there are many such monks in the Western Regions, and there are indeed monks who are still obsessed with promoting Buddhism after sitting on Nirvana, and will continue to chant and meditate after death, or even go to preach, these are all possible, we delay these monks to preach, it is easy to be entangled by them, and they will not be liberated until they die." ”

Yue Guanchao looked at Keli, and he nodded at everyone: "Daoist Wang is right, there are indeed many ghost monks in the Western Regions. ”

The so-called ghost monk refers to a monk who has died, but is still obsessed with promoting Buddhism.

Before their deaths, these monks are often enlightened monks or devout monks who believe in Buddhism, and when they are alive, they take the promotion of Buddhism as their own responsibility, vowing to let the people of the world worship the Buddha sincerely, not to mention whether the grand wish can be realized, just to make this vow, it has been proved that they are devout Buddhists.

It's just that the beliefs of the people in the world are complicated, and it is impossible to be completely unified by a certain sect, nor can they only believe in a certain sect.

If some monks are open-minded and willing to let go of their obsession with nirvana, they will be made into a golden-bodied Buddha by later generations, or burn out the Buddha's bone relics.

Somewhere between the dead and the living, they could not breathe, they had no pulse, they did not need to eat, they did not know the pain and fatigue, they walked as dead people, they maintained their pre-mortem behavior, and if they met a living person, they would persuade them to convert to Buddhism.

In their own eyes, it is true that the Dharma is being promoted, but if they come across a living person, they will immediately find that the monks are dead, and if the weather is too hot or they have been dead for too long, they can even see the smell of rancid and silverfish shuttling in and out.

Just imagine, when a big living person sees a monk who is about to decay, and wants to promote the Dharma to himself, of course, his fear is greater than his piety, and he will even arrest these monks as monsters.

Whenever these ghost monks go to a place, they will be rejected by the world, like ghosts and ghosts, and over time, they will accumulate disgust and resentment towards the world in their hearts, and begin to attack the living, as long as the living people say that they are not willing to take refuge and believe in Buddhism, they will be hollowed out by the ghost monks, cut off their heads, and turn into skeletons around their waists.

Over time, everyone knows the horror of the ghost monks, but whenever they see a monk who behaves strangely and has no meaning of being a living person, the people will stay away, no matter how bad it is, they will say all the good things, and they will never dare to say anything about not converting to Buddhism, until they are completely out of the attack range of the ghost monks, they can be completely at ease.

When the ghost monk makes the most trouble, it is often when the dynasty is changed, but whenever the dynasty is changed, there must be frequent wars and people's livelihood, this is when the Buddha is born to save people, and the ghost monks are often the most rampant at this time, hoping that the people will take refuge in Buddhism and enjoy peace forever.

In that year, in the first 56 years before the abdication of the previous dynasty, there was a tragic civil unrest in the northwest, and tens of millions of local people died, and countless dead people.

Every time they went to a village, they had to ask people to take refuge in Buddhism, otherwise they would go on a killing spree, and the villages at the end of the Hexi Corridor would be terrified, and every family would accumulate grain on the walls of the high seminaries during the day, and they would stay in the courtyards at night and dare not come out.

It was not until they walked to the boundary of the Hexi Corridor that they were exterminated by the Heavenly Master Daoist sent by the Qinling Mountains in the northwest, and I heard that the costumes of these monks still maintained the style of Tibetan Buddha's robes, and even had obvious patterns of the Tubo Dynasty.

At that time, the plateau monks would not go to the Hexi Corridor to preach for no reason, these heavenly masters suspected that someone was pretending to be a plateau monk, and after a traceback investigation, they found that the identity of these ghost monks was some missionary monks during the period of Tubo rule in the Western Regions.

After their deaths, they became ghost monks, originally buried in some abandoned underground palaces or pagodas in the Western Regions, as human relics, it may be that tens of millions of people in the northwest were killed and injured, causing the underground blood to shake, and they smelled the resentment of the dead, and came out to convert the living to Buddhism.

It's just that, after all, they have been dead for nearly a thousand years, and they no longer know the situation in the world, and of course they are killing people everywhere like headless flies, these ghost monks were finally burned by the Heavenly Master Dao, and the ashes relics were sent to a certain Taoist temple in Qinling Mountains to be sealed over, and then disappeared.

I don't know what the specific truth is, and it has become today's ghost monk asking for his life.

After Keli finished telling the story of the ghost monk, everyone looked at the bones nailed to the wall by bows and arrows again, and there was immediately another layer of shadow on their brows!
