Su looked at his own shadow on the ground again, and suddenly understood its weirdness: it was a little higher than normal.

The raised part is slightly lighter than his own shadow, and at a glance, it seems to be a faint penumbra around the edge of the umbra.

But upon closer inspection, the outline of this "penumbra" did not match Su's, like a person with disheveled hair, elongated and swaying by the candlelight.

Su's hand habitually and quietly reached towards his waist, but found nothing.Only then did he remember that the saber he was carrying was left in the carriage and left outside the monastery.At that time, he never imagined that the temple would be so uneven.

Su didn't move, and didn't look back.

There is a folk legend that there are three lamps on a living person.One on top of the head and one on each shoulder.These three lamps are people's yang energy, which can drive away ordinary ghosts and keep them from approaching.Therefore, when walking at night, you can't turn your head back. Once you turn your head, a lamp will be extinguished, and the yang energy will be weak, and ghosts will easily get on the body.

In the original world, Su didn't care much about ghosts and gods.However, in this world, it is impossible not to believe.

It is certain that the thing behind him is not a human being.With Su's martial arts cultivation, it is absolutely impossible for someone to come within ten meters of him without being noticed by him.

If it's a ghost... then it must be not an ordinary ghost.

You know, this living room is adjacent to the Buddhist hall, and the lights and cigarettes of the Daxiong Hall can be seen from the corridor.Lonely souls and wild ghosts can't hide in time, so how dare they make mistakes.

In retrospect, when I met the abbot in the abbot's room, there seemed to be an imperceptible panic flashing across the abbot's face.If it was an ordinary evil thing, the abbot probably would have transcended it at that time.However, not only did the abbot not do that, but he also used the hidden acrostic method to convey information to himself, which showed that he was not an easy character to deal with.

What could it be, and why would it haunt me?Could it be the remnants of the seven evil spirits?

Su suppressed all kinds of doubts in his heart, slowly straightened up, pushed the door open and took a step outside.No matter what is going on behind my back at this moment, it doesn't seem wise to stay in this room.

However, when his gaze swept outward, Su's raised foot was quickly retracted.

It was only a moment before he entered the door, and the scene outside had completely changed.The brightly lit Buddhist halls and Buddhist houses are all missing, and there are no shadows of the bell and drum towers and the glazed pagoda.As far as the eye can see, there is only a piece of dark and barren mountains.

At this moment, there is not even a trace of the fragrance of lilacs in the courtyard.There is a slight smell in the night wind, and a thin moon hangs slantingly in the clouds on the top of the mountain, showing a faint blood red, like a squinting eye.

Su immediately retreated into the room, and bolted the door.He once heard people say that if you encounter such a situation, don't go outside casually, otherwise you will get lost in nowhere.

In modern terms, the room he is in now looks like a moving elevator car.If he goes out when he shouldn't, he may never find his way back once the elevator leaves.

At this time, a thin voice sounded behind him.

The voice was very soft, a little hoarse, "Xu...Xu..."

The conversation was divided into two parts. Zen master Pindao used some vegetarian food and took a rest in Yunshui Hall early. He wanted to go out over the wall in the dead of night and find the poor monk and Taoist priest to play with.

It is said that Su and his party were all accepted by the abbot, but the poor monk was kicked out by a group of monks who guarded the courtyard, and asked him to find another place to live.

The poor monk and Taoist priest were distraught: "Why? Is it because I am a Taoist priest that the temple doesn't allow me?"

"No." The headed monk changed his face, "You are a Taoist priest, we don't mind, just treat it as a layman. But you are actually a poor monk, we have to suspect that you defected from Buddhism of."

The poor monk and Taoist priest were even more indignant: "What about the poor Zen master? Don't you suspect that he is an undercover agent sent by Taoism!"

Wu Monk: "Obviously, Zen Master Pindao escaped from Taoism, turned to the light, and took refuge in the Three Jewels. We naturally welcome such people. - Get out, dare to say more, the stick in my hand will beat you all over the head !"

The poor monk and Taoist priest had no choice but to pick up the small pink cloth bundle that was thrown out, and went to live in a private house outside the mountain gate.Zen Master Pindao bid farewell to him and made an appointment to look for him in the middle of the night.

Zen master Pindao had just been lying on the bed for a while, when suddenly a visitor came and asked him to see the abbot as soon as possible, there was something urgent.Zen master Pindao didn't dare to neglect, put on his paddy field clothes in a hurry, and rushed to the abbot's room.

The abbot blows the lamp with the dharma trumpet. He also traveled around in his early years and was well-informed.

As soon as Zen Master Pindao stepped into the room, Zen Master Chuandeng immediately asked, "Tell me the truth, has something happened to that young gentleman recently?"

Zen master Pindao saw the other party's serious expression, and had a premonition that the situation was not good, so he quickly explained the matter of the seven evil spirits locking the soul formation.

"...What? The seven evil spirits lock the soul formation!" Upon hearing this, Chan Master Chuandeng couldn't help but change his expression. I can't even understand it!"

Helpless, they had to send a few monks to find the poor monk and Taoist priest.The three of them talked for a long time in the abbot's room before they finally figured it out.

"This is terrible." Zen Master Blowing Deng's eyes were slumped, "Could it be that my Lanruo Temple can't blow the lamp and pull out the wax like the temple in the past?"

As mentioned earlier, the place where the pavilion is located is a natural gathering place, and the lonely and wild ghosts near the capital will be attracted here.

It was nothing.Ordinary ghosts actually have very limited abilities. Generally, they can only frighten people in dark places, and cannot do particularly evil things.

However, in the war 200 years ago, the capital was captured by the vassal king, and countless people died.These people died violently, with deep grievances, and they cannot be saved.This is what people usually call a ghost.

In the decades after the war subsided, the temple was gradually abandoned.The reason for the outside world is that the incense is not strong, and the donations are getting less and less.But in fact, the temple was built by the emperor and allocated funds from the national treasury—in modern terms, it enjoys state subsidies and will not go bankrupt easily.

The real reason is only known to a few people: the monks frequently ran into ghosts and killed them.I don't know how many rituals have been done, but it doesn't work. Even the incense candles in the Daxiong Palace will suddenly break.In the end, the monks couldn't stay any longer, so they had to blow the lamps and wax.

Later, the temple was converted into a pavilion, which is actually a way to fight poison with poison: use the evil spirit of the sword to suppress the evil spirit.

Unexpectedly, such a method of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor has actually achieved results-the pavilion a hundred years ago is much more bloody than it is now, and there are countless murderous evil spirits on the sword of each pavilion master, which is actually in harmony with those silted up in the world. The grievances here restrain each other and reach a delicate balance.

This balance has been maintained for nearly a hundred years, until the "Seven Evil Soul Locking Formation" not long ago.
