I thought that even if these monks didn't bring out something from Buddhism, it had to be something that matched their identity as 'ghosts'.

But I never thought about it.

It turned out to be a bone.

A strange bone with an entire body like ice crystals.

"What the hell?"

I took the bone and asked in confusion.

The middle-aged monk said lightly: "This thing is the bone of the city god, and it is the bone remnant of a city god after the fall. ”

"You just have to hold it, and you can easily smash the statue of the city god."

"City God's Bone?" My eyes widened and I asked with some confusion, "Isn't Chenghuang a god?" Why are there still bones? ”

Another monk replied, "This is not a real ......."

"Hmm......" The middle-aged monk glanced at the monk.

Seeing this, the monk directly shut his mouth.

Middle-aged monks are also Taoist; "Just do it, don't ask more about other things that shouldn't be asked, it's not good for you."

"After the statue of the city god, you can go."

"Okay." I nodded, put the bones away, and set off for the City God Temple.

As for smashing the statue of the city god, just fool them.

Even if I were to do it, it wouldn't be now.

Everything has to come first, come first.

I first promised the old man to bring those monks to the City God Temple for him, then this matter must be done first, and after this is done, I will consider the matter of smashing the City God statue.

Soon I came to the City God Temple.

The first thing I saw was the old man sitting at the temple gate, as he had seen at night before, with an unfathomable expression, but to my annoyance, the lame dog was there.

As soon as I had an accident, I slipped away as soon as possible.

After that, it was nowhere to be seen.

"No conscience!" I glared at it, then sat down directly next to the old man and said, "Those monks, let me smash your statue." ”

"What do you think about this?"

"Then you'll smash it." The old man spoke lightly, as if he didn't care about it at all.

"What?" I was stunned for a moment, "What's the difference between smashing your statue and destroying your temple now?" ”

The old man said disapprerovingly: "After the beheading sacrifice began, I no longer relied on the idol, and now this idol is dispensable to me. ”

I touched my chin and said, "That way, it's easy to do." ”

"They shouldn't know about you."

"That's why I smashed your idol."

"When I smash your idol, they should come to you for trouble."

"By then, I'll have done what you said, right?"

The old man looked at me, then smiled and said, "Do you really think that they don't know what you think?" ”

My eyes narrowed slightly.

A wave of uneasiness came over me in an instant.

"You mean, from the very beginning, they were already planning to use me?"

The old man didn't answer me, but took out a picture from his bosom, and there were only three words on the picture: Five Ghost Pictures.

"These five ghosts are different from the ordinary five ghosts, they represent the five desires of human nature."

"Greed, stupidity, anger, lust, anger."

"Eighteen years ago, they were suppressed here by Zhang Huaitian, and they wanted to use the power of incense to wipe out their consciousness, but Zhang Huaitian is not a member of the Dao Sect after all."

"No matter how good he is, it's just a sacrificial wine, and it's still a line away from becoming a great sacrificial wine."

"So although these five ghosts were reluctantly suppressed by him, he also gave them a chance."

"And because I have reached the time when the oil has run out, although I know the intentions of these five ghosts, I can't stop them, so I can only let them bewitch five people, and disguise themselves as Buddhist monks, and build five temples in this Baiyun Town."

"Those five temples respectively attracted the incense from the five directions of Baiyun Town, and the five elements were endless, cutting off the incense here."

"Without the incense, Zhang Huaitian's power to suppress them at the beginning will also dissipate."

"It's just that because their true bodies have been pressed here, they can leave here, but they can't have real strength, unless I die."

"That's why they're desperate to smash your idol?" I frowned and asked, "But there's still something I don't understand. ”

"They are free now, and there are so many people who believe in them, if you want to smash your statue, you can let those people do it."

"As long as they tell the people that there is a problem with this City God Temple here, and they don't need to say what the problem is, someone will naturally come and do these things."

"You know human nature very well?" The old man looked at me in surprise.

I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Human nature is good. ”

"It's normal for human nature to be evil."

"People are selfish, especially ordinary people, who have their own interests in mind."

"Then do you think that Zhang Huaitian is doing so much for you?" The old man was silent for a while, looked at me and asked.

I was stunned.

With a wry smile: "To be honest, I'm not sure." ”

"But one thing I know for sure is that he did so much because he actually wanted me to embark on the path of the Great Sacrifice Wine."

"It's just that what he did made me willing."

"It doesn't matter to me whether he wants me to be the Grand Sacrificial Wine for himself or for me."

"He raised me for more than ten years."

"This kindness is enough for me to repay with my life."

Speaking of which, I looked at him and said, "So, what do you think I should do now?" ”

"You're not afraid that I'm going to hurt you too?" The old man looked at me with a smile.

"It's just a death." I didn't think about it: "And you are a dignified city god, you really want my life, there is no need to talk so much nonsense with me." ”

"So I prefer to believe that you didn't intend to kill me in the first place."

"At a young age, he is clever." The old man got up with a smile, then handed me the picture with only three words left, and walked towards the temple at the same time.

"If the blood of the five ghosts is dripped on it, the five ghosts will no longer be a threat."

"Before that......"

When the old man said this, he directly picked up the incense burner on the offering table and smashed it at the statue of the city god.

With a crisp sound, the statue of the city god shattered.

Then the old man knelt directly in front of the broken statue of the city god, and his already old body instantly had a strong sense of death.

"Put that bone in my body."

"This guillotine sacrifice should officially begin!"

My eyes narrowed slightly.

Shocked in my heart.

It turned out that he knew everything, understood everything.

"Aren't you going to die?" I asked.

The old man smiled and said, "It's just a piece of the bones of a false god, and it won't kill me." ”

"False gods? What's that? "I'm a little confused.

But the old man did not answer me again, and at the same time, the nine coffins began to tremble violently.

The corpse inside seemed to be coming back to life.

I swallowed, hesitated and walked over to him, then stabbed the bone into his body.

Blood splattered me at the same time.
