Chapter 37: The Spiritual Officer
It was night, and the temple was broken in the mountains.
Yi Baiyu curled up, looking at the ape, waiting for the other party to tell the story of the ruined temple.
He wanted to hear what kind of story happened to this temple, so that this temple could have the effect of surviving the summer solstice.
"Dragon species, listen to me slowly, this obscenity, once enshrined a man-eating demon, this demon has faded from the demon body, refined into a human body, and entered the transformation, such a demon can be called a big demon?"
The ape smiled.
"Naturally."
IPA approved.
Condensing the demon pill, it can be said that it has become a climate, a big demon.
Not to mention the shapeshifting.
The mountain monarch of Dayin Mountain is just the ultimate demon pill, and he can stir up the wind and clouds in a place, and the strength of the transformation can be seen.
"Three hundred years ago, there was a big demon in this temple, but this demon likes to help people, and often does things for the villagers in ten miles and eight towns, and the villagers also trust this demon."
"But the good times didn't last long, three hundred years ago it was also summer to this day, there was a spirit official who paraded here, noticed the transformation of the big demon, and then eliminated the demon, and the big demon did not obey and fought with it."
"Do you know what kind of god the spirit officer is?"
The ape's voice read this, and suddenly paused, and asked.
"Daomen five hundred spirit officials, picketing the world, how can I not know."
Yi Bai used to be a lover of mythology, and he was very familiar with the spirit officer.
Daomen is known as the "five hundred spirit officials", and the legend is that the five hundred people under the command of the Zhenwu Emperor have the duty of picketing the world, checking the good and punishing the evil.
The head of the five hundred Lingguan is the famous Taoist god general, many Taoist Taoist palaces, the first hall of its mountain gate, are the Lingguan Palace, and the folk have more rumors that "go up the mountain and don't go up the mountain, worship the king Lingguan first".
Seeing this, the ape nodded and continued: "The transformation demon is extraordinary, the spirit official will not be able to arrest it for a while, and he will not be able to help the demon if he goes to the sky and the earth, but the battle between the big demon and the spirit official has affected the villagers of ten miles and eight towns, the earth dragon turned over, the fire soared into the sky, and everywhere, there was a lot of misery......
The ape read and spoke, and suddenly fell silent.
In just two or three words, it gave Yi Bai a picture of 'immortals fighting, mortals suffering'.
"And then?"
Eber asked.
And then ...... Then the spirit officer insisted on killing the big demon, but the big demon stopped fighting, and asked the spirit officer with grief and indignation, God has evil gods, why can't the demon have good demons, the spirit officer didn't believe it, and the big demon didn't resist anymore, and cut himself off from the spirit officer. ”
"After the demon was killed, the spirit officer saw that the creatures everywhere were devastated, the people's grievances were boiling, and they had no shame to see the villagers here."
The ape spoke, and his tone was very complicated.
Hear it here.
Yi Bai's erect pupils flashed with surprise, and he already had a guess.
"You said that this temple can hide from the summer solstice, could it be that it has something to do with the spirit officer?"
Yibo asked.
"Yes, according to the legend, the spirit officer who slayed the demon in the past will come to this temple every year to think about the rights and wrongs of what was done in the past, so other immortals will not come here, although this temple is broken, but it is stable."
The ape turned his back to Yi Bai and seemed to be very emotional.
"Then why don't you worry, the spirit officer came to this temple and beheaded us?"
"Don't worry, these are all hearsay, in fact, I hide here every year, how can there be any spiritual officials, but safety is really safe."
"Really?"
"Seriously!"
Yi Bai was relieved to see that the ape was so serious.
After all, he still has a way to retreat, and he can still go to the Red Moon World to avoid the limelight.
"Shan Gong, how do you know this story in such detail?"
Yibai was curious.
He was a little confused.
"This matter, it's a long story, I have a demon friend, and I am close friends with that big demon, so I know more?"
The ape scratched his head, so he made a fool of himself.
Seeing Yi Bai's silence, he was silent for a while.
Making friends out of nothing?
If he didn't mention this, maybe he would have believed it, but if he mentioned this friend out of nothing, what would he believe?
Yi Bai's erect pupils stared straight at the ape, trying to see through something.
No matter how you look at it.
This ape is a youkai that is not much different from his strength.
"Dragon, what do you think I do?"
The ape wondered.
"Nothing."
Yi Bai didn't say much.
But the doubts in his heart have not been dissipated.
"Dragon seed, you can stay in this temple with confidence, there will be no accident."
The ape smiled.
Yi Bai did not refuse, and chose to hide in the temple, as long as he could hide, it would be fine.
But he felt in his heart that the identity of this ape was not simple.
It's not what it seems.
The ape exchanged views with Yi Bai again.
It was still dark.
The ape went into the temple and cleaned up some of the moss with his hands.
Seeing this, Yi Bai didn't ask much.
The apes took care of themselves to clean up the dusty main hall.
Long.
The ape stopped cleaning up, abruptly raised his head, looked at Yi Bai, and asked, "Dragon species, what do you think of this obscene story?" ”
"Not how!"
Yi Bai curled up and shook his head.
He looked at the ape with his pupils, and his heart moved, and he thought of a solution that could solve his puzzles.
"What's that assessment?"
The ape stared sharply at Yi Bai and asked aloud.
"This big demon, how stupid is it,"
Yi Bai said casually.
His erect pupils looked directly at the ape.
When mentioning this big demon, the ape's expression and behavior did not change at all.
Yi Bai continued to speak, and said, "Foolish, this spirit official is not a good god. ”
When he mentioned the 'spirit officer', the ape's expression changed significantly.
The changes are subtle.
But Eber saw it.
He suddenly had a number in his mind.
This one, afraid that the spirit official was there in person, pretended to be a monster and was chatting with him.
As soon as he thought that the ape beside him was a fairy change, his heart couldn't help but tighten.
"The spirit officer in the story is just removing filth and wants to protect more villagers, how can he be considered an evil god?"
The ape asked, scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Indiscriminately, he slashed demons, so arbitrary, how can he be called a good god?"
Yi Bai was flustered in his heart, but on the surface he was stable, and asked rhetorically.
He figured it all out.
This story is experienced by this spirit officer himself, the spirit officer regrets killing demons in the past, and is a little confused about whether the demons have good demons or good demons.
Seeing him escorting Huang Xu to the next county seat outside Jiangshui County, and seeing that he was pure and demonic, he didn't kill him, pretended to be a monster, and wanted to talk to him and solve the confusion in his heart.
Yi Bai knew that most apes would not hurt him, but knowing that there were immortals around him, he still couldn't help but feel a little afraid.
"The spirit officer is wrong, but the starting point is still for the good of the villagers."
The apes still don't seem to understand.
"Are you a demon or a god? How can you still speak for the spiritual officer? ”
Yibai didn't plan to break it.
Since the ape didn't intend to say it, he hid it.
Anyway, after today, this spirit official will leave, so there is no need to hate the other party.
"Of course it's a demon."
The ape smiled and spoke......
