Chapter 2 Downhill Part 2

Xie Fengshu made a decisive decision, turned his head to look at Ming Ke and said, "Look, I told you to eat less snacks."

He held the posture of a fairy king, but also showed a little helplessness, a worried look.Ming Ke wished he could jump up and pinch Feng Shu's neck, but the shameless person in front of him was his own fairy after all, he was a fairy boy who knew the general situation, so he could only endure the humiliation and replied: "Got it, Xianjun."

Pei Yu didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he chuckled and threw back the melon seed shell in his hand, and said, "Then don't disturb Immortal Ling Heng's cultivation."

He paused, and then said in a cold voice: "The current situation is very serious, it is better for immortals with low spells not to go out."

Xie Fengshu had already hanged up and beat him thousands of times in his heart, and he nodded with a smile on his face: "I won't send it off."

When the figures of the two were getting further away, Ming Ke threw herself on Xie Fengshu and said angrily, "Who eats snacks, you can tell me clearly!"

"The situation forced me, I was wrong, I was wrong." Xie Fengshu begged for forgiveness while tearing him off, "When I come back, I will bring you a sugar man, and I will find you some novelty toys. "

Ming Ke was furious: "Who wants your sugar man and—"

He didn't realize something was wrong halfway through the speech, and suddenly raised his head. "You want to go down the mountain?!"

"Heaven is in trouble, how can I sit idly by." Xie Fengshu said righteously, "You guard this Wuming Mountain and wait for me to come back. I will go down to earth to do justice for the heavens."

Ming Ke frowned, his face wrinkled into a ball: "Master Fu Guang said that he is not allowed to go out."

Xie Fengshu couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his little face: "He's talking about a fairy with low spells, am I?"

He pretended not to see the disdain on Ming Ke's face, retracted his hand and coughed lightly. "Anyway, you obediently guard the fairy mountain. Don't run around. It's not the same as before. Be careful to be eaten by monsters."

Ming Ke was unmoved, just let out a "tss", and followed Xie Fengshu through the courtyard to the front of the mountain gate.

Between the mountains and the sea of ​​mist, Xie Fengshu's figure in front of him was half hidden and half visible.Seeing that he was about to leave, Ming Ke took two steps forward, hesitated for a while, and whispered: "Then remember to come back early."

Xie Fengshu turned his head, revealed a little smile amidst the heavy mist, and replied solemnly: "Understood."

After finishing speaking, Xie Fengshu frowned slightly: "East Yu—"

He was talking about the place where Si Ming Tianjun was attacked.Seeing his uneasy expression, Ming Ke pricked up his ears to know what he was thinking of, and then heard Xie Fengshu muttering to himself: "Where is it from?"

…………

Ming Ke's white eyes finally rolled out.

As far as this virtue is concerned, he is still doing justice for the sky, and the sky will cry if he knows it.

Xie Fengshu said it high-soundingly, but it was actually because of that Fu Guangjun Pei Yu's arrogance and contempt for others, which was really annoying.In addition, he has been staying in Wuming Mountain since his ascension, and he is already tired of staying there. It would be best if he can retrieve his horoscope, if he can't, he should go to the human world to practice.

Different from the boundless sea of ​​Nanming, the eastern corner is mountainous and stretches endlessly.The mountains are full of lush ancient trees and vines, and the peaks and ridges of the mountains are in four directions, and the peaks are so magnificent that they extend for thousands of miles.Because it was already winter, the trees in the mountains were covered with thin snow, and at a glance, it was a vast expanse of whiteness, with only a few dark pine greens showing in a few places.

Xie Fengshu looked at the continuous mountains in front of him, wishing he could turn around and leave.

Pang Yuanzi only said that Immortal Si Ming had lost his Xingluo mingpan in Dongyu, but he didn't explain where it was. Do you want to go mountain by mountain to find it?

——Whether he has the leisure to say, Xie Fengshu looked up at the sky.

It was not too early when he went out, and since Nanming was a hundred thousand li away from Dongyu, he traveled east and west along the way, even though he was riding on the wind, he wasted a little time, as the sky is already dark and the moon is rising from Dongshan. .

Xie Fengshu let out a long sigh—forget it, let's think about where to spend the night.

He walked slowly forward among the mountains, while turning his head to look around.

In the east corner, there are many mountains and dense forests, and the population is barren.A few days ago, there had been several heavy snowfalls, the trees were covered with a layer of white, and the snow on the ground was about a finger deep. Xie Fengshu walked in it, and he could still hear the sound of the snow crushing dead branches from time to time.

The night is dark and windy, suitable for haunting.

The next moment Xie Fengshu heard the baby's cry, he was even more convinced of this.

Intermittent cries came from the front left of him, quite ear-piercing, mixed with a woman's murmur, it was quite creepy in this forest in the middle of the night.

Xie Fengshu was not afraid that it would come, but he was afraid that it would not come, so he immediately walked over to the place where the cry came.

He walked dozens of steps, and the crying disappeared in an instant. When he walked further, a woman in red suddenly appeared on the snow in front of him.

The other party was wearing a red dress with gorgeous makeup, which was really eye-catching in the snow, but her complexion was pale and her eyes were full of tears.

Looking up to see Xie Fengshu, the other party straightened up from the snow, and said, "Master, have you ever seen my child?"

In the middle of the night, looking for children alone in the deep mountains and snowy seas?

Her tone was like weeping, and she sounded pitiful, but Xie Fengshu had ascended to become a saint, his eyes had been opened, and he had clearly seen the soaring devilish energy on the opponent.

"Never seen."

The other party walked a few steps towards Xie Fengshu, and said in a gentle voice: "Your son is naughty, I don't know where he has gone, can you please trouble your son to help me find it?"

Just now the baby's cry clearly came from here. Xie Fengshu recalled in his mind the fairy books and classics he had read in Wuming in his spare time, and wanted to know what kind of evil it was, but unfortunately he couldn't remember it for a long time.

Tsk, I really shouldn't be lazy on weekdays.

The woman in front of him was still waiting for his answer, Xie Fengshu put his hand on the handle of the knife, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Coincidentally, I also lost something. May I ask the girl if she has seen it?"

The other party looked up Chuchu, waiting for Xie Fengshu's words.Xie Fengshu continued: "A black horoscope."

The face of the other party suddenly turned cold, and he said in a drawn-out tone: "It turns out that he is a fairy."

There were still tears on her face, but she smiled strangely at Xie Fengshu, showing her white teeth. At the same time, the shrill baby crying sounded again.

Xie Fengshu's brows moved slightly, and he realized that the crying sound came from the abdomen of the woman in front of him.

His eyes fell on the other person's waist, and the next moment, Xie Fengshu saw a bloody hand protruding from the woman's abdomen to support her waist, and then struggled to free his wet head and upper body.

The cries became more and more clear, and within a short while, a bloody baby broke open the belly of the woman in red and came out directly, lying on the woman's waist and looking around.

The woman didn't seem to feel any pain, and walked closer and closer to Xie Fengshu's direction.The baby on the waist looked around, saw Xie Fengshu, stopped crying, raised its head and gave Xie Fengshu a wicked smile.

He was full of demon energy, and his laughter was rough and unpleasant, as piercing as a knife scraping iron.

Seeing this, Xie Fengshu suddenly realized, and shouted: "Ah!!"

His sudden cry made the two evil spirits, one big and one small in front of him, probably startled by his sudden yell, and they actually stopped on the spot and looked at Xie Fengshu with a somewhat confused expression.

Xie Fengshu looked at the two monsters, one big and one small, and finally called out the scientific name of this mountain ghost.

"Mother ghost."

After he thought about it, he tilted his head uncertainly, and asked the female ghost, "Is that right?"

The other party probably felt that he had been fooled, so he shouted angrily, one big one and one young one rushed towards Xie Fengshu one after another.

Xie Fengshu also drew his saber out at this moment.

His knife is named Feng Yuan, and the handle of the knife is densely wrapped with half an inch of red thread. The knife is a small dark silver nine-fold lotus flower, which cannot be closed halfway. The carving is rough and looks a bit weird.The knife is three feet long and half a finger wide, with a straight blade and several strings of Sanskrit characters engraved on it.Only the tip of the knife has a slight curvature, which narrows neatly, revealing a chill in the ice and snow.

Xie Fengshu went to the woman in front of him first, and when he turned around, he saw that ghost baby also pounced on him, he conjured a piece of talisman paper out of thin air with his left hand and threw it out, softly shouting: "burn."

The talisman paper turned into a raging flame in an instant, as if it had eyes and quickly moved towards the ghost baby.

The monster seemed to be very afraid of fire, and retreated quickly, with a long and shrill howl.But here, Xie Fengshu slashed at the ghost mother, the blade's intent broke through the wind, and rolled up layers of snow, scaring the ghost mother back a few steps.

The opponent couldn't make a single blow, probably because he saw that the situation was not good, he turned his head and ran towards the mountains.

Xie Fengshu slid his heels up and walked quickly through the snow.

The snow on the trees along the way kept falling because of this movement, but the forest was vast, and the evil creature was obviously more familiar with the forest than he was. Xie Fengshu gritted his teeth and chased him for a long time, but the distance was getting farther and farther.

In the end, the woman turned her head and let out a stern laugh, accompanied by the baby's ear-piercing cry, and disappeared in the night for no reason at the next moment.

Xie Fengshu had to stop, frowned and looked around, temporarily retracted the knife and continued walking forward.

Xie Fengshu originally thought that the monster might have been hidden nearby, but he couldn't find it anywhere.His sense of direction was extremely poor, and he walked forward for about a quarter of an hour without thinking, when the road turned around, and a courtyard suddenly appeared in the depths of the pine forest.

Xie Fengshu approached a little closer, and with the help of the moonlight, there was a temple in front of him.

He slowed down and finally stopped about four or five feet away from the temple.

The temple is located in the middle of the dense forest, and it doesn't look too big surrounded by towering ancient trees all over the mountains.Quite a bit of the ancient temples hidden in the mountains, the meaning of Wansong washing the vulgar dust.The red walls and brown tiles of the temple are probably old and some are old and faded. There is a huge ancient tree in front of the temple gate.

The ancient tree is towering, with a frighteningly thick trunk, entrenched at the entrance of the temple, and the branches and leaves on it are towering and extending inside and outside the temple, almost covering half of the temple.Xie Fengshu looked up, and all he could see was a thick white, shining coldly under the moonlight.

At first, Xie Fengshu thought it was the frost and snow covered the trees, until a faint fragrance hit him, and he looked carefully under the moon for a while, only to find that the trees were actually covered with snowy flowers.

This is a perennial spring.

Wanguchun has a peculiar habit, the longer the growth period, the longer the flowering period.Wanguchun, which has grown for thousands of years, can bloom once in a few decades, and the flowering period lasts for tens of hundreds of years, so it is called Wanguchun.The flower has nine petals, because the flower is white like snow, the shape of the flower is like a lotus, and it is undefeated for a long time. It is also one of the sacred flowers of Buddhism.

The eternal spring flower in front of me has deep roots and is estimated to have lived for thousands of years.

Xie Fengshu looked away, but suddenly saw a figure in front of the temple.

His nerves were already tense, and he immediately wanted to draw the knife, but he stopped abruptly.

With the moonlight, Xie Fengshu could see the person in front of him clearly.

It was a - er, monk.

The other party was dressed in a plain white monk's robe, holding a simple lamp in his right hand, and the hazy candlelight illuminated a corner of the night.There is a string of black sandalwood beads hanging on the wrist of his left hand, other than that, there is nothing else, it looks quite plain and thin in the snowy night.

But the other party didn't seem to feel the chill, he just stood in the snow in front of the temple and turned his head to look at Xie Fengshu.

He didn't know how long he stood there, his expression was neither sad nor happy, his eyes fell on Xie Fengshu, the coldness was like the snow on the highest part of the east corner of the mountain, and Xie Fengshu was so cold.

Xie Fengshu bowed his hands and said, "This..."

He paused, not knowing how to address it properly, and finally said after deliberation: "This cultivator, has he ever seen a woman in red and a child?"

The other party didn't answer, but stood on the steps in front of the temple, looking at Xie Fengshu from afar.

The monk in front of him has no demonic energy, and his robe is not stained with dust when he brushes the snow, let alone the severe cold. He is probably a practitioner who has lived in the mountains for a long time.

Xie Fengshu thought so, so he simply threw his hands away and declared himself a family.

"I am Immortal Lord Lingheng, thank you Fengshu."

Hearing this, a moment later, the monk in front of the temple said to Xie Fengshu, "Come in."

After finishing speaking, regardless of whether Xie Fengshu heard it or not, he turned around and opened the door and walked in.

Xie Fengshu was worried that he had nowhere to stay, and regardless of the attitude of the other party, he followed them into the temple.

He pushed the gate of the temple and entered, and the first thing that caught his eye was a courtyard with bluestone pavement and dense bamboo on both sides, revealing a touch of green in the snowy night.

It was icy and snowy outside, but the ground inside the temple was dry and there was no snow at all.Not far in front of the courtyard is a dharma hall, with a faint light shining through it.

Seeing the monk in white walking non-stop into the Dharma hall, Xie Fengshu paused, and followed in cheekily, coughing lightly: "Passing by the treasure land, excuse me—"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Fengshu subconsciously stopped talking when he saw the scene in the hall.

This Dharma Hall is huge and strange.

Unlike other temples that offer golden Buddha statues and burn lamps and incense, there is no statue in this Dharma hall.Apart from the two doors and windows of the Dharma hall, the other three walls are all gray and white stone surfaces.Compared with the temple hall, it is more like a stone room.

If it's just like this, of course it's nothing - on the three stone walls, there are actually countless reliefs of Buddha statues carved.

The reliefs are uneven, and the Buddhas are different.Some sat on the clouds and lowered their heads, as if looking down on all living beings;

There are densely packed Buddha statues on three sides, laughing or cursing or sitting or lying down, and there is no repetition of gestures and movements.

Xie Fengshu had stayed in the Immortal Realm for hundreds of years anyway, so after looking around, he had a general idea.

One Thousand Buddhas in the Free Heaven, One Thousand Buddhas in the Colorless Heaven, and One Thousand Buddhas in the Great Brahma Heaven—three thousand Buddhas in three days in the Buddhist school are engraved on the three walls.

Xie Fengshu looked at the temple from the outside as a bit shabby, but when he came in, he knew there was another world, at least this Dharma hall was very mysterious.

But apart from the room full of reliefs, there are too few things in this room.

Xie Fengshu withdrew his gaze from the stone wall and landed in front of him.

There is a black altar table under the opposite wall, in front of the table are two plain tufted cattails, and in the center of the table is an ever-burning lamp, which is exactly the one held by the other party just now.

The Buddha lamp is very small, about the length of a palm, the whole body is as white as jade, without any decoration on the lamp body, simple and simple, the lamp base is a nine-petaled lotus flower, with a bunch of reddish flames dancing in the center, making the room even more empty.

Buddhists believe that the lamp can be enlightened in the right mind, and those who seek liberation use their body as a lampstand and their heart as a lamppost to add fuel to their precepts.Therefore, the Dharma halls of various Buddhist temples have always offered many lamps, even hundreds of them, in order to illuminate the darkness and ignorance.

But there is not even a stick of incense offered in this dharma hall, only this lamp is offered. The candle light is weak, which is really incompatible with the majestic image of the three thousand gods and Buddhas.

Xie Fengshu only felt that everything was weird since he entered Dongyu, including this mountain wild temple.The person in front of him has already sat on the futon, closing his eyes in a meditation posture.

Forget it, since it's here, it's safe, it's a Buddhist temple anyway, although the monk in front of him has a cold attitude, but he is dressed in a monk's robe and bones, and he doesn't look like some evil spirit.

Xie Fengshu thought so, and planned to sit down together.Just as he took a step, he suddenly heard a hoarse and low roar.

"Jiang Chen, do you regret it?!"

The sound was like thunder, and Xie Fengshu was caught off guard. Like a cat with a fur, he was immediately frightened and stopped, holding the handle of the knife and turning his head to look at the source of the sound.

He thought there were other people there, but he could see everything in the house, except for him and the monk, there was not even a living thing.

Xie Fengshu hesitated and was about to look away, but saw the head of a stone Buddha statue moving in the relief on the left wall.

The stone Buddha is only half an arm high, holding a vajra against its back, stepping on a white-fronted tiger, with bare feet and bare chest.The body was still a stiff and cold statue, but the head turned slowly, making a piercing "cracking" rubbing sound, and the muddy and pale stone eyes also moved little by little, until they saw the white-robed monk in front of him.

The head of the stone statue finally stopped, staring at the monk in front of him, and drank again in a rough voice: "Jiangchen, do you know that you regret it?!"

Xie Fengshu: "..."

Even Buddhist temples can be haunted, what kind of world is this?
