Start from Liaozhai to brush the gods and demons alone

Chapter 21 The old monk wants to save this benefactor tonight

Xu Ran's fingers pointed to the four directions of the crowd one after another, which turned out to be the four corners of the room.

People followed what he expected, and saw four ordinary young men sitting there. They were all dressed in muslin, with the same style and fabric. They seemed to be in the same group, but they were not sitting together.

People who have no reason to come together should sit apart, because if something weird happens, there must be a demon.

Surround us?

People who were skeptical at first couldn't help but believe a little more.

The people nearby quickly moved away from the four of them and left them empty.

Then Xu Ran pointed to a richly dressed scholar in the crowd, "And you, you are the leader of the monster!"

Everyone looked over and saw that it was the scholar who had just publicly competed with Mr. Chang for Xiao Chunhong, and they couldn't help being in an uproar again.

At this time Xu Ran discovered that he could clearly see the blood streaks on everyone's heads. The difference was that most of the people, including the old bustard and Xiao Chunhong on the attic, had extremely short blood streaks on their heads. These are ordinary people.

Only those four people, the scholar, and the old Wang next to him had blood bars on their heads, which were the same as what they saw when they brushed monsters in the system.

The brocade-clothed scholar kept looking at Xu Ran and Lao Wang, seeing that there were no mana fluctuations on the two of them, so he walked over with peace of mind.

He waved the paper fan and said contemptuously: "It's weird, you have slandered us as demons for no reason? Who are you?"

The four young men in common clothes also surrounded them, tacitly forming a siege with the scholar.

Xu Ran and Lao Wang looked at each other, and said to the scholar: "I don't need to explain to you murderous monster..."

As soon as the word "explanation" came out, the old Wang next to him suddenly showed a bronze demon-subduing pestle in his hand, aiming at the scholar's forehead all at once.

The scholar was shocked. He thought that the two parties had to report their names and exchange some greetings, but they didn't expect the other party to go straight to the guy.

A cloud of black air surged up from his body, gathering into ghost hands above his head, grabbing at the Demon Subduing Pestle, and at the same time, he had a shining paper knife in his hand, trying to push away the Demon Subduing Pestle from bottom to top.

Bang.

The demon pestle shattered the ghost hand and the paper cutter one after another, and finally landed on Xiucai's forehead, because the collision was so fast that people only heard a single sound.

The scholar didn't even hum, his body exploded like a broken ball.

Everyone thought that there would be a war of words between them, testifying and slandering each other, but they didn't expect to attack so quickly.

Hitting someone on the head with a pointed iron rod directly made them cry out in unison, and the timid ones had already closed their eyes.

In the end, there was no scene of blood and brains splattering. When the scholar's body exploded, it turned into fine paper scraps and bamboo sticks, scattered all over the ground.

It really is a monster!
It really is a monk!
Everyone cheered and rushed towards Xu Ran and Lao Wang.

Those four youths in common clothes were smashed to pieces by the monk when they saw the leader face to face, they were so frightened that they turned into a cloud of black smoke and wanted to run away.

Retardation!
With a thought in Xu Ran's mind, the four of them felt their feet stagnate, and even the speed of the demon's magic slowed down a lot.

Lao Wang felt that he had never been so tough.

Feeling refreshed, he swept the magic pestle around, and the four young men in civilian clothes were smashed into a pair of confetti like scholars.

Suddenly, on the five piles of confetti, five shadowy figures stood up, hazy and surrounded by black air.

The temperature in the hall suddenly dropped, and the weather in July suddenly had a chilly feeling.

The people who came up trembled and looked around, but they couldn't see the five phantoms at all, and didn't know what happened.

"High...high monk..."

They had no choice but to seek help from Lao Wang who shot and killed five monsters. Lao Wang looked around and asked suspiciously, "Ghosts? Are they ghosts?"

Now everyone was even more frightened, looking around in a daze, trembling with fear.

The five innocent souls knelt together and kowtowed to Xu Ran and Lao Wang. Their expressions looked extremely painful, as if they were being tortured by something.

Xu Ran whispered, "Can you see them too?"

The old king said: "Yes, my eyes can see very clearly, but I can't do anything about them. There is a scripture that says that the hostility of this kind of wronged soul will torture them day and night. If the hostility is not removed, it will change. Become a vicious soul, cause harm to the world, and never enter reincarnation."

"You can't do it?"

"I can't do it, my Buddha-nature is not powerful enough to perform this kind of Buddha-dharma."

Xu Ran nodded and signaled everyone to disperse, "Everyone, please disperse, please keep quiet."

"My immortal master, why is it so cold in the room?"

Seeing that the master who killed the five monsters was whispering with Xu Ran, as if he was the one who had the final say between the two, someone asked tremblingly.

"There are five ghosts here."

Xu Ran signaled everyone not to be afraid, "With this master here, there will be no problem, everyone, don't panic."

After appeasing everyone, Xu Ran remembered the skill called [Duhua Huiguang], which can eliminate the hostility of wronged souls and make their souls enter reincarnation and gain merit. It is a non-upgradable skill.

He then consumed a free skill point and learned how to transform Huiguang.

Pointing to one of the wronged souls, a pale golden Buddha's light descended from the sky and submerged into the spirit of that wronged soul.

[System: Get rid of the anger of a wronged soul and get 15 points of merit. 】

The cold air in the room suddenly weakened a bit.

The pained expression on Wrong Soul's face also disappeared, and the black light covering his body dissipated, revealing a phantom of a dignified middle-aged woman.

Xu Ying knelt down on the ground, kept kowtow, and cried out in pain, "Save my child, save my husband..."

Xu Ran pointed at the other ghosts one by one, four golden lights flashed, and there appeared a middle-aged man, three teenagers, two men and one girl, and the four ghosts embraced the woman, crying silently .

After a long time, they stood in front of Xu Ran and Lao Wang hand in hand, and bowed three times together.

Xu Ran said: "Who harmed you?"

The five ghosts shook their heads one after another.

"You are being manipulated, where are you planning to go?"

The five still shook their heads.

Xu Ran waved his hand, signaling them to go, and the phantoms of the five people bowed again, then became fainter and fainter, and finally dissipated into the void.

Looking at the 60 points of merit prompted by the system, Xu Ran sighed.

Who was it that killed their family of five?
And seal their souls in paper figurines, and become puppets who work for tigers?

It seems that when I go back, I will check the Wangxiang Zhacai shop immediately.

……

As the five ghosts fell into reincarnation again, the temperature in the room rose sharply and soon returned to normal.

The old bustard was the first to realize that if these two hadn't appeared, there would have been fatalities in the store today. Most of the people present were either rich or expensive, and she, a woman, couldn't afford to take care of anyone who made a mistake, so she hurried over.

With a smile on his face, he said: "Thank you to the two masters for your rescue, please take your seat!"

The guys and girls also recovered, prepared the best seats for them, and brought tea, snacks and fruit plates.

Xu Ran glanced at the people who were still in shock, and said with a smile: "It's all right, everyone eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, and play what you should play."

As a result, the crowd hesitated, and most of them still refused to sit down.

The old bustard said anxiously: "You guys, why are you still standing there? There are two masters here today. Yichun Courtyard is the safest place in Changqing County. If you go out, you may encounter something!"

wow.

Everyone quickly took their seats, regardless of whether they were in their previous positions or not.

The old bustard couldn't hide the joy on his face, he lowered his head and smiled and said, "Have you asked about the dharma names of the two masters yet? Which treasure temple are you practicing in?"

Old Wang took a sip of tea: "Those who wander in the clouds, you can just call me Master Wang."

Xu Ran smiled slightly: "You just need to remember Master Wang."

"Give some vegetarian wine and vegetables to the two masters?"

The old bustard silently wrote down the three words of Master Wang, and winked at the clerk beside him. The man understood, and hurried to the accountant to get a bag of money.

This kind of living Buddha is not common in the world. Places like brothels are inherently sinister. The old bustard has been doing prostitution for a long time in his life. The number of injustices in his hands is beyond count.

Handed over the silver bag and said: "Small meaning, not a respect, please accept it from the two masters."

Just as Xu Ran was about to pick up the silver, Lao Wang took it first. He opened the cloth bag and glanced at it. There were about 30 taels of silver ingots, big and small.

He pushed the silver bag back to the old bustard, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, the poor monk has received the heart of the benefactor."

The old bustard's complexion changed, did he feel less disgusted?
"Ma'am, don't get me wrong..."

Lao Wang raised his eyes to admire Xiao Chunhong who was leaning over the fence of the attic and looking here curiously.

He smiled and said, "I want to save this female benefactor tonight, and I hope you can make it happen."

　It's time to test the waters, let's count the votes
