、、、、、、、

Thunder, lightning, wind, and rain seemed to be whistling in my ears all the time, and the confusion in my mind was so chaotic that I couldn't tell who I really was.

There seemed to be someone talking beside him, and the voice was quite unfamiliar, and it sounded a little anxious, and I faintly heard: 'He seems to be a little wrong, can you take a look?'

A cold hand swam over him to inspect it, and after a moment he was stunned and said, 'Why is he so badly injured?'

The man next to him said angrily: 'Nonsense, he is under the sword of the Immortal, do you think ......'

He didn't hear the rest of the words clearly, because at this moment a wave of dizziness hit his head, and he almost fainted, and in a daze, he only vaguely felt that the sky was still roaring, thundering.

The person next to him seemed to be taken aback, and hurriedly checked, the cold breath on his hand made him sober up for a moment, and heard the man say urgently: 'Oh no, his forehead is hot, I'm afraid he has a high ......fever'

Do you still have a fever?

That was Ghost Li's last thought, and after that, he fainted again, unconscious.

There was a roar that woke him up from his unconscious, and his first reaction was that he thought it was still thunder from the sky. But somehow, although the person was somewhat awake, it was still dark in front of him, and he tried his best to open his eyes and look around, but he was stunned to find that his eyelids were still closed, and he couldn't open them.

Then, a sharp pain came, not from his badly injured chest, but from his throat, and he subconsciously moved his mouth, and screamed hoarsely and slightly: 'Water......

There seemed to be no one around, except for him lying alone and helplessly on the ground, the thirst in his throat getting worse and worse, like a fire. His lips moved slightly, and the strength in his body moved slightly, and the consciousness in his mind seemed to be more awake.

'Ah!' Suddenly, a voice came from the side, this voice was different from usual, but it seemed to be familiar with what it had heard before, and there was a bit of surprise in the tone of the voice, and said, "You are awake, senior brother, come here, he is awake......

There was a sudden silence around them, and immediately after a moment, a footstep quickly approached and walked in front of Ghost Li. Ghost Li struggled to open his eyes again, but somehow, this time, the strength of his whole body was completely gone, and he only vaguely saw two figures squatting beside him, and behind the figures, there seemed to be a few black shadows. As for the faces of these people, he couldn't see any of them.

'Water......' he whispered again.

This time, the people around him understood.

'Quick, get water, hurry.' ’

Footsteps hurried, running back and forth, and after a while, someone came running, and then a cold hand carefully lifted his head, and a bowl-like thing rested against his lips.

The cool water, touching his chapped lips, moved the muscles on Ghost Li's face, and he opened his mouth with great effort, and drank the water in one gulp. The clear water entered the throat like a sweet spring into the dry land, and immediately relieved the burning pain.

Ghost Li's heart was relieved, and he immediately felt tired, and fell asleep again.

The people next to him were taken aback, and immediately someone came over to press the pulse of the ghost, and after a while, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's not in the way, he is too seriously injured, and he has a fever, and his physical strength is exhausted, and he is not worried about his life at the moment." ’

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding figures seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then, it seemed that someone looked at the ghost and sighed softly.

I don't know how much time has passed, during which the ghost has woken up several times, but all of them are awake for a moment and then immediately fall asleep, in his impression, he only remembers that there are always people waiting beside him.

In a trance, he saw many people, his parents when he was young, the innocent and beautiful sister, the unforgettable Baguio, Lu Xueqi who was about to leave, and many people, all flashed in front of him one by one, and once, he even felt that he saw the Dharma Xiang and the Dharma Brothers of Tianyin Temple ten years ago, who were sitting beside him chanting the Buddha for him.

He smiled bitterly at that time, but even he didn't know whether his wry smile could be shown on his face, perhaps, it was just a dream after all.

It's like, this upside-down life is like a dream!

Why do you chant for me?

What is the use of chanting the scriptures?

When Ghost Li woke up for a moment, he thought about it quietly in his mind, and then, he fainted again.

'Boom...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......'

It seemed to be a low bell echoing in the sky, coming slowly, waking him up from a deep nightmare, the heavy bell, from far and near, slowly, seemed to knock into his heart.

For the first time, he didn't have the urge to open his eyes, so he just lay quietly, not thinking about it, not caring about where he was and what world was outside his body?

In the vast world, only the muffled bells are left at this moment.

'Boom...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......'

The bell is melodious, as if it will never stop, and it keeps ringing. He listened intently, his breathing was slow, and all his spirit was absorbed in the smooth timbre, and he never wanted to leave.

It had been the first time in a long time that he had been lying so undisturbed.

Does anyone know how many burdens they carry and what kind of pain it must be?

It's just that this small world, after all, can't last, and a burst of footsteps from far and near walked towards the place where he was, disrupting his train of thought.

The bell that had been striking in his heart suddenly seemed to be far away from him, and suddenly it was far away from the sky.

Silently, sighing......

Slowly, he opened his eyes.

Buddha!

This was the first thing he saw.

A big 'Buddha' character, hanging high on the roof, around this Buddha word, surrounded by a circle of golden patterns, and then along the periphery, a circle of finely carved five hundred Arhat statues, and form a large circle. All the arhats are of the same size, but their expressions and bodies are all different, and they are arranged in rows, and they are extremely upright. Then, on the periphery of the large circle is the ceiling with a blue background and black edge, two feet higher than the middle Buddha circle, and the painting style on it is different, it is a square grid, each square is one foot square, with gold piping, and there are Buddhist auspicious beasts such as unicorns, phoenixes, golden dragons, goats, etc., these patterns are the same in each square.

Although he is not good at carving buildings, he only takes a glance and knows that this is a ghostly handiwork. On the roof, in the inner circle around the Buddha character, two golden chains hang down, and an ever-bright lamp hangs upside down, looking from the bottom up, it is roughly a copper basin three feet large, which is filled with lamp oil.

Ghost Li frowned, turned his head and looked around, only to see that this place looked like a meditation room in a temple, the room was quite spacious, the four corners were red lacquer pillars, blue brick paving, the door was made of paulownia wood, and a window was opened on each side, which was also painted with red lacquer, which looked very solemn. On one side of the wall hangs a picture of Guanyin Master holding a water purification jade dew vase, and below is a pair of incense tables, on which are four plates of fruits, namely pears, apples, oranges, and oranges;

On the other side of the wall, there is the ghost power. There is a wooden bed here, simple and sturdy, without more decoration, I think the monks do not care about such things, and the room is also plain, except for the above things, there is only a round table in the middle, and four round stools around it. The table is all black, and there are teapots and cups on the table, which are plain porcelain.

At this time, the footsteps had already reached the door, and the door of this meditation room 'creaked', and someone pushed it open from the outside, and a person walked in. Ghost Li looked at him, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but it was a strange young monk who had never seen before, holding a wooden plate in his hand and a new kettle on it, and he didn't look at Ghost Li when he walked in, but walked directly to the table in the room, and swapped the teapot on the table with the one on the wooden plate in his hand.

'You...... Who is it?' Ghost Li asked, but before he could say a word, he suddenly felt a pain in his throat, although it was not as intense as the fire that he had last time when he was unconscious, but it was also extremely uncomfortable, and his voice suddenly became hoarse.

Even so, it also startled the little monk, and immediately turned around to see, in a hurry, he almost knocked over the wooden plate in his hand.

'Ahh ’

As he spoke, he was about to run out of the door, but the ghost turned at his back and asked in a hoarse voice, 'Little Master, may I ask where this is?'

The little monk smiled back, his face was quite innocent and delicate, and he smiled: "This is this, of course this is Tianyin Temple!"

Tianyin Temple!

Ghost Li froze suddenly, as if he had been struck by thunder. The little monk trotted away all the way, thinking that he was going to call people, but only the ghost was left to lie back on the bed, and his heart was extremely chaotic.

Tianyin Temple......

His heart was uncertain, but somehow, there was another bitter meaning, which flooded from the depths of his heart.

Tianyin Temple...... Tianyin Temple...... GENERAL WISDOM ......

There was a faint sound of talking in the distance, and at the same time a few footsteps were walking towards the meditation room, and someone seemed to ask the little monk in a low voice, the little monk was obviously not very old, innocent and lively, and kept answering with laughter.

Somehow, listening to those questions and answers, Ghost Li was out of his mind for a while, not thinking about his current situation, nor thinking about his past grudges, at this moment, he suddenly envied this ordinary little monk for no reason. Like him, he is so innocent and lively, maybe he doesn't know that there is also pain and hatred in the world, right?

Young and ignorant, but on the contrary, we have been the happiest days in many years?

The footsteps stopped abruptly, and just outside the door, someone said to the little monk: "You don't have to go in, why don't you go to the backyard now and report to the abbot master, that is, Zhang Xiaofan's benefactor has woken up." ’

The little monk smiled and said, "It's okay." However, Senior Brother Faxiang, you have said that you will teach me to practice the Great Brahman, and you can't go back on this. ’

The man outside the door smiled and said, "Little fellow, you are greedy, go quickly, I promised you, and naturally I will not regret it." ’

The little monk was obviously very happy, smiled, and jumped away. The wooden door opened, and in the creak, it seemed as if someone had paused outside the door, took a deep breath, and then walked in.

Sure enough, it was the Fa Xiang, and behind him was the tall monk Fa Shan.

Dressed in a moon-white monk's robe, with a white face, holding a rosary in his hand, the appearance of the Dharma looks as if there has been no change in the past ten years. I saw him slowly walking towards the wooden bed where Ghost Li was lying, and when he walked to the bed, his eyes met Ghost Li's gaze, and the two of them had no words.

The atmosphere in the room was a little strange for a while, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Fa Xiang's mouth, and he saluted the ghost and said, "Master Zhang, are you awake?"

The corners of Ghost Li's eyes twitched, and he suddenly said coldly: "I don't have a surname Zhang, I have long forgotten that name." ’

Fa Xiang's face remained unchanged, he only looked at the ghost, and after a while, he said softly: "What name you use is naturally your own will, but if you don't even want a surname, have you ever thought about being worthy of the parents who gave birth to you and raised you back then?"

Ghost Li's face changed, he snorted, but didn't say anything more, turned his head away, and didn't look at him anymore.

Fa Xiang didn't blame him, he and Fa Shan, when they looked at this demon who was spurned by the righteous path of the world, their eyes were completely kind. Fa Shan moved two chairs from the round table behind him, placed them beside the bed, and whispered, "Senior brother, please sit down!"

Fa Xiang nodded, sat down in the chair, looked at Ghost Li, and said, "How do you feel now?"

Ghost Li didn't need him to ask, in fact, he had already secretly checked his body, the ribs that had been severely injured to the point of fracture in his chest had been completely connected, and he was tied with a thick bandage at the moment, obviously to help fix it, as for the many skin wounds on his shoulder, they were all bandaged well, although there was pain in the wound from time to time, but there was a faint sense of coolness, obviously the wound was dressed with excellent wound medicine, so there was such an effect.

Seeing that he didn't answer, he didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "When you were unconscious, I had already helped you connect the broken bones, and the other skin injuries were not serious, but your internal organs were severely injured, and you had to be carefully conditioned to be intact, and it was also a loss to your strong body, otherwise even if you were a person with profound cultivation, under such a serious injury, I am afraid that it would be inevitable." ’

He paused for a moment, and then said, "My little junior brother also told you just now! This is Tianyin Temple, and no one in the world knows about you here except for a few people in our temple, so it is very safe." You just have to live and recuperate here......

Ghost Li suddenly interrupted him, looked him in the eye, and said, 'You saved me?'

The smile on Fa Xiang's face froze for a moment, as if he was a little hesitant, and he turned his head and glanced at Fa Shan, who lowered his head and gently recited the Buddha's name.

Fa Xiang turned his face back, no longer hesitated, nodded, and said, "Yes." ’

Ghost Li snorted and said, "Don't tell me you don't know, if your actions like this are known by Qingyunmen, what will be the situation?"

Fa Xiang said lightly: "I naturally know. ’

Ghost Li sneered, "In that case, why do you still carry the division commander behind your back to save me, a demon sect demon?"

Fa Xiang glanced at him, but somehow, there was something strange in his eyes.

Ghost Li frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"

Fa Xiang smiled and said, "How do you know that I must have come to save you behind the back of the division commander?"

The ghost was stunned and said, 'What?'

Fa Xiang said leisurely: "The first seat of the Seven Veins of Qingyunmen back then was not an ordinary person, and all of them were extraordinary. Feng Hui Peak's first seat Zeng Shuchang is also one of them, and when I fought with him that day, I wanted to entangle him and not expose my Dao method in a short period of time, this kind of skill, I asked myself if I could do it. ’

The ghost stared at the Fa Xiang for a long time, and the Fa Xiang was calm and right, and his smile did not change. After a long time, Ghost Li suddenly closed his eyes and stopped looking at his face.

Fa Xiang nodded and said, "You are seriously injured and have not recovered, so you still need to rest more." ’

Ghost Li closed his eyes and suddenly said, 'Why did you save me?'

Fa Xiang was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I can't answer this question. ’

Ghost Li took a deep breath and said, 'Why?'

The Dharma Minister whispered a Buddha name and said, "You don't have to worry, when you are well injured in a few days, someone will tell you." ’

Ghost Li opened his eyes and frowned, "Who?"

The corners of Faxiang's mouth moved, as if he hesitated again, but finally said, "It's okay to tell you, it's my mentor, Master Puhong, the abbot of Tianyin Temple!"

Ghost Li was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he looked at the face, and knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he simply let out a sigh of relief and lay down.

The melodious sound of the bell in the distance came again.

'Boom...... Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......'
