Gui Gongzi [Green Snake]

When Jinlong was fighting, he couldn't help but look back at the person and ghost below.

The two of them talked like this, as if they had reached an agreement, and they could actually become happy in this messy cave.

The golden dragon whined.

It is fighting ghosts and the sky is dark, why does the master stand aside and let the battlefield not help?

How important is this? Even the ghosts on both sides don't care?

The golden dragon's resentment was conveyed to its absent master, but it got a look: don't make trouble.

The divine beast wailed and ordered to go to work.

After Xie Xin finished speaking, he turned around and looked at the battle situation above.

On the one hand is the ghost baby who has been sealed in the cave for an unknown period of time, and on the other is the dead soul of the Xie family who has not been relieved for 35 years and has gone through all kinds of hardships. This confrontation feels a bit evenly matched. Xie Xin saw how strong the fighting power of the dead soul is. Feeling a little scared for a while.

If he hadn't used Abyss Hell to control these dead souls, he really couldn't control them by himself. However, seeing that the two sides are so consumed together, he doesn't know when the winner will be determined.

Fa Hai suddenly said: "Golden Dragon, come back—"

"What's the matter?" Xie Xin saw that the other party took off the cassock with one hand, and picked up the bowl with the other hand.

"Xie Xin, avoid it for a while."

Seeing the opponent's situation, Xie Xin decided to take those ghosts in at the end and let him avoid them for fear of accidental injury, so he didn't stay any longer, took a few steps back out of this place, and took away Tian's mother and son by the way.

Standing far away from the battlefield, Xie Xin heard the noise behind him, looked at the woman's smudged face, and said, "Aniang Tian, ​​let me send you out first."

The blind woman heard this, raised her head slowly, and said, "It's Mr. Xie..."

Then, she shook her head slowly: "No, I can find the way, son, are you human?"

Xie Xin thought, the other party should have seen a lot of things before he lost his sight, and it is meaningless to hide these things, so he said, "No."

"Ah, I think so too... How can human beings come and go without a trace." Widow Tian murmured, "Hey, is that master a human?"

"En." Xie Xin didn't understand what the woman wanted to express, so he answered patiently.

"Oh, but his strength is not human-like, if you get too close to him, you might get hurt." The woman murmured, holding the child tightly in her arms, trembling as if afraid.

Xie Xin thought that Fahai probably hurt Nie Ganhai, which made the woman feel scared and didn't pay much attention to it.

Suddenly, the whole grotto trembled violently, and a lot of gravel fell down from the ceiling. Xie Xin blocked it for himself and the woman, and when he turned around, he saw Fa Hai walking out with his usual expression.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that the other party's face is still out of breath, it should be very relaxed.

Fa Hai smiled lightly: "Don't worry."

Xie Xin nodded, and inadvertently swept Fa Hai's trousers.

The white cloth was stained with some mud marks, and Xie Xin's eyes could see the color, which seemed black or bright red.

Fa Hai took down the prayer beads, murmured something, and walked away with the prayer beads.

"What's wrong?" Xie Xin asked.

"Those children are still alive, they are buried under the mud, and they are still alive. I will find the people from the government to rescue them." After speaking, Fahai pulled Xie Xin up and walked to another road.

"I remember it wasn't this way when I came here?" Xie Xin was a little surprised, Fahai had never set foot on this way.

But the monk walking in front said: "If you go the same way, you will meet those officials. Some things are difficult to explain clearly, and it will be difficult for you and me to get out."

Xie Xin thought that the other party was afraid of trouble, and he himself didn't like the set of procedures for interrogation. After walking down to dawn, Xiaoqing would not be surprised if he disappeared in place again, but he might scare those mortals.

So, without saying much, I followed Fa Hai.

Widow Tian was still holding her motionless son and stood there trembling.

Knowing that when Xie Yi led people to rush in, she just stood there stupidly, muttering something in her mouth.

Many officials followed the Buddhist beads into the baby corpse field behind. A soldier saw that the widow Tian was unconscious and thought she was frightened by a ghost, so he said in a good voice: "Ma'am, it's okay, we are here to save you. Come out with us."

With the support of that man, Widow Tian paced forward, muttering to herself as she walked: "I killed someone, I killed someone..."

The official didn't understand either, and sent him out without taking it seriously.

Xie Yi and the others came to the infant corpse site, and the first thing they saw was the swamp that had been blown into a big hole. The stone walls and the ceiling were splashed with mud, and there were small carbon-colored things. Twisting the tip, it felt like a charred bone.

"My lord, there are living people here!"

Some officers and soldiers went down the hole that was blown out, and soon found the missing children. Their eyes were closed, curled up there, their faces were smudged, but they were sleeping very peacefully.

"Rescue him and send him to the medical officer to see if he's injured." Xie Yi calmly directed the officers and soldiers present, but after looking around, he didn't see Fa Hai, nor did he see the man in white that the villagers were talking about.

So he asked again, "What about the saved woman?"

"My lord, she is unconscious now, she was sent out of the cave, and she is resting outside." An officer and soldier immediately reported.

"Stay here and watch, I'll go ask that woman." Xie Yi thought for a while, and then walked out with an order.

I talked well with Fa Hai before, why did this person leave suddenly, and Xie Xin disappeared together, and then looked at the messy scene inside, those children were fine, but what happened to the original troublemaker? No trace at all.

Xie Yi always felt that something was wrong.

He took the torch and tried to walk out along the stone path. Originally, he should have no problem walking by memory, but as he walked, the sounds of the busy people around him seemed to be separated by a layer of water. It turned out to be more chaotic and indistinct. When he raised his head again , but found himself standing alone in the stone path, all the voices were far away, and occasionally saw a person walking by, but found that there was a layer of black veil between the other party and himself, the official seemed not to see himself Yes, hurry over.

Xie Yi raised his hand, wanting to touch that "black gauze".

"My lord, wait a minute."

There was a sudden sound in his ear, Xie Yi was slightly startled, he stopped his hands, and when he looked again, he found a head growing on the rock wall.

A head wearing a tall white hat was struggling, and after a while, it stretched out a hand to support the stone wall, and forcibly "drilled" out.

Yes, this movement can only be described as a drill, but Xie Yi saw that behind the young man in white was just a complete stone wall, not even a hole.

"What are you?" Xie Yi had seen too many strange things, and his first reaction was that the other party was not human.

"Officer Xie, Bai Wuchang, of course, you probably don't remember me anymore." Xie Bi'an bowed respectfully to Xie Yi, then turned around, and frantically pulled at the stone wall, pulling out another man in black.

"Hei Wuchang, I have met you." Fan Wu was not as smooth as Xie Bian, he dropped his hat on the ground, first saluted Xie Yi, and then hurriedly picked up the high hat and put it on for himself.

Xie Yi looked at the inscriptions on the two hats - "holding the hand of the son" and "fangzhizichou".

……

"You used to be the officer in charge of life and death in the underworld, and Mr. Gui recommended you. We also cooperated with you back then." Xie Bi'an briefly talked about the past relationship with Xie Yi, and then said with a serious face randomly, "Officer Xie, you Have you seen Young Master Gui? It’s the one in white with a purple crown and a folding fan..."

Fan Wujiu mouthed silently: "Tell the key points."

Xie Bi'an immediately added: "The one who looks really good-looking."

"Is that Xie Xin?" Xie Yi responded, "I don't know, he should have been here before, but I didn't meet him, and Fa Hai disappeared."

Bai Wuchang rolled his eyes and patted his thigh: "Oh! It's still a step too late!"

"What's wrong with him?" Xie Yi also became nervous. Black and white impermanence is a ghost messenger, and Xie Xin is a ghost. Something must have happened to the other party to alarm the ghost.

"Young Master Gui's wish has been fulfilled, it's time to go with us!" Xie Bi'an said, and the soul-gathering lock in his hand glowed coldly, "Fa Hai, is he really not afraid of death?"

Xie Yi heard Bai Wuchang explain the origin of this, as well as the physique and limitations of ghosts, and gradually understood the reason.

"This place has been affected by mana for many years, and our ghosts can't enter. I just saw the monster that caused the trouble. The souls that were bombarded were all scattered. It is said that the Buddha's heart is compassionate. Fahai's action is not like a monk. It's like a ferocious god, leaving no room for it."

Xie Yi listened to Bai Wuchang's description, and then thought about the tragic situation at the baby corpse site just now. Fa Hai saved those children, but he did kill them.

"Then I'll go to Jinshan Temple immediately after I've dealt with this matter. If I can meet Master Fahai or Xie Xin, I will have a good talk with him." Xie Yi promised.

Two days later, things here eased up a bit, and Xie Yi finally took the time to rush back to Jinshan Temple overnight.

It was the eve of the rainstorm, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. Xie Yi was led by the monks to temporarily hide in a temple. When he entered with his front feet, the sky poured down with rain and thunder bursts.

When the rainstorm came suddenly, the monks who were walking around the temple quickly found the nearest building to shelter from the rain.

There were five or six monks scattered in the hall where Xie Yi was. Everyone looked at the rain outside from time to time, hoping that it would subside soon.

A monk was wiping the water droplets on his body, and inadvertently, he heard a small sound of tearing and peeling amidst the rolling thunder.

He looked up strangely, momentarily stunned.

"Golden Buddha, Golden Buddha is crying..."

The monk pointed at the golden Buddha in the hall tremblingly, Xie Yi turned around, and saw the Buddha with a compassionate face sitting upright silently, strips of golden paint peeled off his cheeks and fell on his body and the ground.

The sacred and dignified Buddha suffered this calamity.

Xie Yi could only feel an inexplicable sense of panic welling up in his heart, like a small hand clutching his heart.

That night, the Buddha statues in all halls of Jinshan Temple were peeled off and their faces were mottled.

But Fahai never returned to Jinshan Temple.
