I'm afraid it's not a fake hero

The temple on the outskirts is a Buddhist temple dedicated to Shakyamuni Buddha. There are a group of monks living in the temple, some old and some young, living in poverty.

Occasionally, pilgrims come to worship and donate some incense money. This is all the source of income for the temple.

A large vegetable garden has been opened in the backyard of the temple, and the foot of the mountain on the other side of the wall is full of food.

These monks usually not only eat fast and chant Buddha, but also go to the fields to farm. In such a self-sufficient life, pilgrims come and go in the front yard, and the back yard is isolated from the world.

Jie Luo and Tomioka Yoshiyuki wandered around here all day, but they didn't find any clues.

"It's strange..." Jie Luo murmured, her brain was running fast, but she still got nothing.

Yoshioka Tomioka ran around with her, but he never got any information, and couldn't help sullen.

Just at this time, the letter crow brought him a new task, so he had to say goodbye to Jie Luo regretfully.

In his heart, Jie Luo's strength is very strong, even in the face of the ghost who is on the string, he will never be unable to deal with it.

Calculated in this way, he is useless here, Tomioka Yoshiyuki said goodbye to Jie Luo, and left in a hurry.

When night approached, Jie Luo asked the abbot of the monastery to stay overnight. The abbot was a kind-hearted old man, and he agreed without asking her why.

In the past, some young people who were on their way often passed by here and wanted to stay overnight. The abbot regarded Jie Luo as that kind of situation, and entertained her with a vegetarian meal.

At night, the monks were carrying water and washing clothes by the well, after Jie Luo locked on a monk in his forties, she went to inquire about the news.

If there are ghosts, someone will definitely disappear, so she used this as a breakthrough point to ask the monk.

The monk put down the laundry in his hands and patiently answered Jieluo's question.

"If you look back at the history of this temple, it is hundreds of years old. I converted as a teenager and lived in the temple for more than 20 years, but I have never heard of the fallacy of missing monks."

Jie Luo frowned, and asked again: "What about the pilgrims? Are there any pilgrims missing?"

The monk shook his head.

"Then I don't know."

There are so many pilgrims who come and go every day, except for a few familiar big families, it is really hard to remember.

Not getting the answer she wanted, Jie Luo returned to the guest room where she lived.

Fortunately, the monks never heard anything outside the window, which was why Jieluo had such a place to stay.If they saw Jie Luo's arrest warrant, they would have to turn her over to the police station.

There is electricity in the temple, all kinds of old utensils are used, and the lamps are also oil lamps.

The dilapidated wooden bed, the dim lighting, such a room, subtly overlapped with the room that Jieluo lived in the shrine in Heiankyo.

People tend to be sentimental at night, and Jie Luo is no exception. Although her status is already inhuman at this moment, those strange emotions are still menacing.

I don't know, how is Tamamo-mae now...

And Ebisu...

That old god who took care of her and taught her in every possible way... would be very sad if he learned of her death.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly.

She sat at the table, poured a glass of cool white water, and swallowed it whole.

In the dim oil lamp, the tongue of flame danced, stretching her shadow long.

Suddenly, she paused, and cast her eyes out of the window hesitantly.

I don't know if it's her illusion, but I always feel like I'm being spied on at this moment.

She got up, walked to the window, opened the window, and poked her head out to look around.

In the dark night, the bright moon hung high, and the moonlight poured down like water. A black crow hovered and landed on the window eaves and called twice at her.

"What... so it's you..." She chuckled and moved her body away to let the crow fly in through the window.

This is the letter crow assigned to her by Miyashiki, and she has to rely on this crow to send messages when there is any trouble. These days, when she is running around, the crow flies in the air and stares at her.

Jie Luo smiled and stretched out her hand towards the crow, and the bird obediently rubbed her hand with its head.

"So cute."

The room where Jieluo was located was at the very edge of the temple, separated by a road, and not far away was a lush forest.

In the woods was a thick old eucalyptus tree, and a man in a black coat was sitting lazily on the trunk.

His white oak-colored hair was covered with the silver light of the moonlight, and his eyes passed through the layers of branches and leaves, and fell on the dimly lit hut.

Tong Mo returned to his base camp before dawn, and the ghosts couldn't see him. Therefore, a magnificent underground palace was built under his base camp.

He waited all day in the underground palace, but he couldn't wait for the girl who came to inquire about his life.

Unexpectedly, he was amputated by the nearby temple.

Tong Mo waited for a whole day, his heart itching to wait, and he ran out just after nightfall, intending to find that member of the Ghost Killing Squad named Jie Luo.

Unexpectedly, when passing by this temple, he smelled the aroma that made his heart tremble again.

You see, they are really destined!isn't it?

No matter how outstanding the ghost's five senses are, he cannot see through the wall. Tong Mo can vaguely see a graceful figure through the window.

With just one glance, his heart started beating loudly.

Tong Mo held his breath subconsciously, feeling the trembling sensation coming from his heart, as if he had an illusion that he had become a human being again.

"Jieluo..." He whispered the name, his voice was low and gentle, with a sweetness like honey.

Just looking at her figure, she looks like a [-]-year-old girl, but she just doesn't know what she looks like.

It would be bad if he had an ugly face.

He has always only eaten women, and among these women, if they are more beautiful and can win his favor, Tong Mo is willing to keep them for a longer time, even if they play tricks on every occasion to coax them, and give them a treat when they are dying. Dreams are not impossible.

If this Jie Luo was ugly, he would grab her on the spot and swallow her alive. If she was lucky enough to be integrated with him, it would not be in vain for her to come to the world and give him such a wonderful experience.

At this moment, the window was pushed open, and a girl in a long white dress (Butterfly Shinobi's clothes) leaned out her upper body and looked around.

Tong Mo regained his spirits immediately, and stared at the girl unblinkingly with colorful eyes, and what came into view was a fair and beautiful face.

Her facial features are exquisite, her thin lips are cherry-colored, her nose bridge is high, her nose is small and round, and the most beautiful thing is her pair of black eyes, like the night sky with a bright moon hanging high in this scene, filled with bright lights. Xingzi.

—Plop, plop!

His heart beat violently again, and the blood flowed all over his body at an accelerated rate. Tong Mo opened his eyes wide in astonishment, staring blankly at the girl not far away.

"So that's how it is..." He murmured, his handsome face was full of madness and blush.

"Is this what love feels like?"

That's unbelievable, Kellogg!

I really want... I really want to tear her apart and eat her right now, not a single bone, not a single drop of blood, not a single hair left!

As he was thinking this way, the golden folding fan was half-opened to cover half of his face, revealing a pair of pupils full of utter madness and an undisguised idiot.

"No, it won't be fun if you eat it now." He murmured, squinting his eyes intoxicated, and said with longing and anticipation: "Come find me quickly, my little Jieluo."

When the time comes, I will reward you to integrate with me and live forever with me.

Jie Luo rested in the temple, and the monks thought she would leave the next day, but they didn't expect this strange girl to stay for several days, and she had no intention of leaving at all.

I don't know if it's Jie Luo's illusion, but at night, she always feels that there is an uncomfortable sight spying on her, and she always sees her raven when she turns around, so although she has doubts, she only treats it as It was because she was not used to having more birds following her.

Even after staying in the temple for a few days, she still didn't find a trace of ghosts, so she had to start wondering if her judgment was wrong.

On this day, there are still many pilgrims who come to the temple to worship. This century-old temple has a high prestige in the hearts of believers. There is an endless stream of people coming every day, even those who come here specially from other places.

Jie Luo thoughtfully watched the believers enter the temple to pay homage after buying incense candles.

There is also a lottery solution business in the temple. The believers will go to the side hall to find the old monk to solve the lottery. If they get the answer they want, they will donate a large sum of money. Dissatisfied, but will still leave a few plants of money to chat.

Jie Luo took out the guard that she was carrying with her, and observed it carefully in her hand, hoping to get a little bit of information through it.

Suddenly, she paused, frowned and opened the guard, and turned the inside out.

The inner lining is embroidered with two large characters in gold thread.

— Bliss!

She suddenly thought of something, ran towards the side hall, and asked the old monk who unwrapped the lottery: "Among so many believers who came, why didn't anyone buy a royal guard?"

The old monk froze for a moment, put his palms together and recited the Buddha's name.

"This temple has never sold omamori, and all the believers know about it."

What he said made Jie Luo startled, she subconsciously handed over the guard who had been turned inside out by her.

"You mean, you don't sell omamori here? Then where did this omamori come from? A girl named Mahiru disappeared after visiting here. This is what she brought back that day."

After the old monk took it with doubts, he took a closer look and said, "I don't know what you said, but it's really not something in our temple."

After saying that, he paused, looked at the word bliss inside the shou and said, "As far as I know, there has never been any temple or shrine that embroidered the word bliss inside the shou."

His words made Jie Luo's brows furrowed tightly, and the clues that she had finally found were cut off like this, and the path was so crooked that it was unbearable to look at, which made Jie Luo's mood unbearable.

However, the old monk's words were not finished yet.

"But...seeing the word bliss, I suddenly remembered..."

"A long time ago, there was a sect called the Bliss Sect in the deep mountain behind the temple..." When he said this, the old monk seemed to have mentioned something disgusting, and his face became ugly.

"That sect only accepts women as followers."
