Walking was really too slow, so Xu Ming bought a carriage. Tang Jinling sat in the carriage, and Xu Ming was in charge of driving as a groom.

When Xu Ming was in high school, he thought that he would go on a road trip after the college entrance examination, but he was too lazy to move after learning his driver's license, so he lay at home with his driver's license and fell into ashes. Unexpectedly, now he has fulfilled a small wish in another world.

There are actually not as many immortal cultivators in this other world as imagined, or the immortal cultivators are not willing to show up in the mortal world, and along the way, Xu Ming even feels that he has traveled back to ancient times: the carriage travels through the fields, stops among the pink walls and tiles, chats with the old farmers in the fields, and sings a few small songs in the stands. Life is comfortable and comfortable.

From time to time, you can see one or two monks in blue and white robes on the streets of the town, some with swords, some with dust, living like ordinary people. Monks are more of a profession than a noble status in this world.

The heavy rain in summer is always caught off guard, and as soon as the carriage drove out of Tianshui City, the sky was overcast, and the faint sound of thunder heralded the arrival of heavy rain.

"It's a bit unlucky. Xu Ming was a little anxious to drive the horse, and there was still some distance from the next foothold.

Tang Jinling next to him rolled his eyes: "If you hadn't just watched other little girls sing songs and didn't leave, we would have arrived in Jinling by now!"

Xu Ming was not convinced: "What do you still say! If you didn't have to eat the marshmallows on South Street and asked me to line up to buy them for you, maybe the Ziyang Sect would have arrived now!"

"Boom" A burst of thunder like a cannon interrupted the daily lifting of the bar by the two. "Find a place to hide from the rain!"

It was destined to have such a ruined temple. When Xu Ming saw the temple in front of him, he actually had a sense of relief of "finally seeing you". There is also a dilapidated horse shed in the temple, Xu Ming found some thatch and repaired it briefly, and put it to use. He himself went to the main hall with the cat in his arms.

The main hall has been dilapidated, the Buddha statue in the middle is missing two, only two bases are left on the left and one right, but the one in the middle is not lost, although it is full of dust and cannot see clearly, but it is still sitting there well. There was only one stove full of ashes left on the incense case, and two futons in front of the case were also missing, and there were also traces of two circles, one on the left and one on the right. Xu Ming knelt down on the remaining futon in the middle and kowtowed respectfully three times.

"Come here, you can bow too!" Xu Ming greeted Tang Jinling, who was wandering around the hall as soon as he entered the hall.

Tang Jinling proudly "meowed" twice: "The old lady is not as feudal and superstitious as you!"

Xu Ming walked over and picked up Tang Jinling, pressed her on the futon and kowtowed three times: "We have just come out of this world, how can there be no ghosts and ghosts if there are immortals? Moreover, this kind of small ruined temple in the mountains is very dangerous, and it is easy to have accidents!" Tang Jinling was extremely unwilling to bite Xu Ming's fingers: "Do you want some stories to happen! Nie Xiaoqian or a fox spirit?"

Xu Ming ignored her, went to find a few pieces of cloth to wipe the incense case futon, and found some dry firewood and thatch, and lit a fire in the hall.

"It's raining heavily, and today we have to spend the night in this temple. Xu Ming looked at the gloomy sky outside through the window where the paper had fallen and the raindrops were the size of beans and said, "You will sleep later, and I will keep vigil." ”

"Forget it, just your guts, you will faint first if there is any movement, what does it make if you keep vigil or not. Tang Jinling expressed his doubts about Xu Ming's ability, "Have you ever seen a cat sleeping at night, I'll keep vigil." ”

Xu Ming was very unconvinced: "I'm a monk who has built a foundation, and I still have a little combat ability, and you didn't sleep more than me that night, and you still talk about me!"

"What else do you do besides being able to read minds? Have you practiced for a day in the past two months?

"Combining work and rest, do you understand the combination of work and rest, how can the monk's affairs be said to be lazy?" So the two quarreled until the end and decided to keep vigil together at night.

Tang Jinling, who said that he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, was hiding in Xu Ming's arms at this time, poking out his little head and looking outside. Xu Ming was so happy to see her like this: "What do you say, you are only willing to keep vigil, but I will attack with a heavy fist if your mouth is stink?" Tang Jinling ignored him, Xu Ming just smiled and did not continue to speak.

The sound of raindrops falling on the eaves was crisp, but Xu Ming's eyelids were fighting when he heard it. At this time, Tang Jinling had already fallen asleep in Xu Ming's arms, and her little nose shrugged off the ground, which was very cute. "Stinky sister, I still want my brother to protect you!" Xu Ming took a deep breath, pinched his face, and cheered up to continue the vigil.

Xu Ming said that he didn't know when he fell asleep, maybe when the fire was extinguished, or earlier, and the last picture in his memory was that the flames shrank little by little, and finally everything returned to darkness.

Xu Ming was awakened, not a nightmare, but a kind of uneasiness and fear emanating from his bones.

When I woke up, it was not yet dawn, but the rain had stopped, and the light of the moon was bleak and cold—this could also be the cause of the fire being extinguished. A strong sense of uneasiness made Xu Ming sit still. Many experiments have proved that animals and people alike are alert before disaster strikes, which may be a small gift from God to mortals.

Xu Ming didn't care about thinking about this, he woke up Tang Jinling.

Tang Jinling was woken up from a good sleep, and was about to get angry, but when he saw Xu Ming's serious eyes, he remembered their situation in the temple again, and instantly woke up.

In an instant, the wind was blowing, and a dark shadow suddenly broke through the door of the main hall and rushed in. The situation that has happened so far is exactly what Xu Ming expected, but the situation behind is what Xu Ming did not expect.

The shadow crashed in and kicked up a huge amount of dust, and when the dust settled, the black shadow gradually took on its original form - it was actually a wolf! The hair glowed an eerily bright silver in the moonlight, the tail was raised high in an offensive stance, and a pair of blood-red eyes glowed, looking very penetrating.

But the wolf's eyes were not aimed at Xu Ming and Tang Jinling, the target of his attack was actually the Buddha statue.

"Could it be that the Pleasant Goat is enshrined here?" Xu Ming looked at the wolf in front of him who was eyeing the Buddha statue.

It didn't seem that this wolf was here to trouble them, so Xu Ming hugged Tang Jinling and shrank into the corner, quietly waiting for what would happen next.

Unexpectedly, but very reasonable, the wolf actually said: "Today is the night of the full moon, and it is the time when my strength is the strongest, and at this time, just after the end of the hour, the day is rising in the east, which is the weakest time for ghosts." I'm going to get you back today!"

The more I listen to this, the more it looks like what the gray wolf said. Xu Ming looked at the scene in front of him, and was in a fog, could it be that this wolf wanted to move this Buddha statue back?

"You haven't come out yet!" the wolf suddenly burst into flames, "Could it be that you really want me to smash this broken temple!"

"Don't, can't I come out!" A shadow floated out from behind the Buddha statue, a little Lori with a ball head.

Little Lori has no legs, suspended in mid-air, looming, like a ghost. "Hell, this is the first time I've seen a living ghost!" Xu Ming was afraid of Tang Jinling in his arms, and was a little excited: "Look at you, you can still move and talk!"

Little Lori was crying, looking at the wolf innocently. Brother Wolf's arrogance suddenly withered by half, and he said with some flattery: "I have no choice but to scare you, otherwise how would you come out!"

"Woo woo!" Little Lori still couldn't hold back her crying, and Brother Wolf, who was still domineering just now, instantly became cowardly, and obediently walked over to admit his mistake: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I won't dare next time!"

"You're going to murder me!Say, where have you been these days, why don't you come to me!" Brother Wolf obviously doesn't coax girls, and hurriedly circles next to Little Lori.

"It's called the straight man of steel, no, the straight wolf. Seeing Xu Ming's thoughtful comments on the obedient and flattering Brother Wolf, Tang Jinling really wanted to write a big word "dish" on his face.

After listening to the conversation between Brother Wolf and Little Lori for a while, Xu Ming finally understood a little.

When little Lori was a child, she mistook the dying wolf brother for a poor stray dog, and went up the mountain every day to send something to it to eat, and then the wolf brother rescued a shaman of the witch clan by chance, and the shaman blessed it and opened its spiritual wisdom, and since then he has embarked on the road of cultivation. Until he was able to speak and was only one step away from turning into a human form, he couldn't wait to come back to his savior.

When he returned, all that was left was ruins, and only the dilapidated temple on the hill remained.

Brother Wolf accidentally found the ghost of Little Lori hiding behind the Buddha statue when he was hiding from the rain in the temple on a rainy day, and later Brother Wolf often came to the temple to accompany Little Lori, he wanted Little Lori to walk out of the broken temple with him, take her to the outside world to have a look, and said that he wanted to reshape her body, just like the Qingxu Immortal. (So the story of the tall and strong has been spread across races, and sure enough, the cultural transmission is the most terrifying) But the little Lori couldn't comply, she said that she stayed here with a mission and purpose, although she had forgotten what she wanted to do. And then the current scene happened.

"We can put down this matter, go out for a walk, and think slowly, it's not too late to come back when I help you reshape your body!And there is a reason why I left these days, listen to me explain it to you later!" Brother Wolf looked like a dog at this time.

Little Lori shook her head: "No, no, no!"

"Believe it or not, I use the strong one?"

"You can try!"

Brother Wolf pretended to be forced for less than three seconds and immediately coaxed: "How dare I!"

"Sure enough, love can not only cross life and death, but also race?" Xu Ming looked down at the cat in his arms, Tang Jinling rolled his eyes and said that he hadn't heard anything.

Xu Ming looked at the arrogant little Lori and the anxious wolf brother in front of him, and walked out of the shadows: "Ahem, I said two, there are still people next to you." ”

"Oh, I didn't see it. "Little Lori's mouth is really poisonous! Xu Ming suffered a dark loss, but still smiled and said, "I almost understand the story of the two. I can give you some advice. ”

"What advice?" Brother Wolf silently walked in front of Little Lori, faced Xu Ming, and blocked Little Lori behind him. It's really a calf protector.

Xu Ming smiled: "Brother Wolf, have you ever thought about why her body is dead, but her soul is still alive, and her soul has not been reincarnated?" Although Brother Wolf has opened his spiritual intelligence, he probably wouldn't have thought of this stubble with his intelligence, and Little Lori is kind-hearted (?), innocent, and naturally won't think of these things.

"And why is that?"

"There are only three situations in which a person's soul does not disperse after death: first, there is a matter of unresolved affairs, second, there is a grievance or concern for the person who hates him, and third, there is a powerful hand to protect his soul. "Xu Ming has just finished reading "Troubleshooting on the Road to Cultivating Immortals", and he is just learning and selling. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth.

"So what's on your mind?" Brother Wolf asked Lori back. Little Lori puffed up her cheeks and thought about it: "It seems so, I can't remember."

Brother Wolf asked again: "What kind of grievance is that, or who do you want?" Little Lori puffed up her cheeks again and thought about it: "It seems that it is, I can't remember." ”

Brother Wolf asked again: "Is there a great immortal who has stepped in to protect your soul?" Little Lori puffed up her cheeks again and thought about it: "It seems so, I don't remember." ”

Xu Ming looked at the two repeaters in front of him speechlessly: "You are really a couple." Please, if she can think of it, she will have to wait until you come back? If she does, she won't tell you when you come back?"

"Kind of makes sense. Brother Wolf nodded, and asked Little Lori: "Did you tell me something?" "I just really can't remember!"

"So never talk nonsense with people in love or wolves or even dogs, they don't have brains. Tang Jinling lay on Xu Ming's shoulder and gloated "meow meow".

Xu Ming patted his forehead and cheered up: "It stands to reason that although Xiao Lori has a pure heart, her mind is not yet complete, and it is entirely possible to be led astray by some lonely ghosts or some negative emotions and turn into evil things like ghosts." Xu Ming looked at the wolf and the ghost who were a little out of tune, and his voice was a little heavy: "So, there must be someone behind this who is controlling all this." ”

Xu Ming raised his head and looked at the Buddha statue in the middle of the main hall. The face of the Buddha statue also fell a lot of dust, and its face could not be seen clearly. But there is an indescribable weirdness.
