I raised monsters in the Song Dynasty

There is a temple at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain. This temple is not very big. It is used by the people in the nearby villages to worship Buddha and burn incense.

Although the scale is small, there are quite a few that should be there. There are many people who believe in Buddhism in the village, and there are constant incense on weekdays.In front of the temple stood two wooden pillars with exquisite and unique patterns, which were specially made by the most prestigious old man in the village and invited famous masters from other places.

And on a good day, a young woman and a child came to the temple to worship Buddha and burn incense. Both of them were dressed plainly and plainly.In front of the Buddha, the young woman put on the steamed buns and fruits that had been prepared for worship, and then pulled her children to kneel down together.

"Buddha, there was a severe drought in the village a few years ago, and there was no harvest. My family and I came to worship you specially, but this year we couldn't finish the food. Thank you, thanks to your open eyes, you bless our family. Starved to death..." The woman was chanting words, but her face was radiant, and it seemed that what she said was true, this year's harvest was really good.

The child knelt for a while and couldn't sit still, his body was staggered, but he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of the Buddha, he just asked the woman in a crisp milk voice: "Mother... when will it be good! Xin'er is so hungry... ..." After speaking, he turned his attention to the offering.

Seems to be really hungry.

The woman frowned, and gave a soft "shh" with her mouth. The child immediately knelt down and straightened her back, because she knew that when her mother looked at her like this, it was a sign of anger.

The woman took her time and kowtowed three times piously before pulling the child to get up and leave.

The child was clever, except when he knelt down to pray to the Buddha and looked listless because of boredom, the rest of the time he was alive and kicking.

While the woman was talking to a nun in the temple, she followed a butterfly to a remote path, but the butterfly seemed to hang her on purpose, flying unhurriedly, and just when she was about to give up, she flew again. Stop on a petal.

"Butterfly, don't run!" the child gasped, staring at the creature.

Gradually, one person and one butterfly are farther and farther away from the temple.

Seeing her follow, the butterfly flew higher and higher, faster and faster, and finally rushed into the sky while the child was still panting for breath, without a trace.

The child chased for a long time, looked up and looked around, but the butterfly had long since disappeared.

"Butterfly, where are you?" The child searched around for a while but couldn't find it, so she wanted to go back, but only then did she realize that she had never been to this place.

The child was terrified and didn't know the way. There were too many strange-shaped plants in this forest, and the more she looked at it, the more terrifying she looked. She walked several times but couldn't find the original path. Finally, she couldn't help crying out with a "wow".

The child cried for a while, but seeing no one responded, even though she felt aggrieved and afraid, she could only find a way out by herself. After groping around, she saw a cave.

The entrance of the cave was covered by thorns, and most people could not see what was going on inside.

The child got closer, wondering what was inside, but heard the sound of chains coming from inside, followed by constant echoes.

"Xiner! Xiner!" A woman's voice came from not far away.

As soon as the child heard someone calling his name, he hurried towards the voice, "Mother, I'm here! Mother!"

The woman came to find her, and when she saw that her child was intact, she scolded with red eyes, "You damn child, where did you go, I'm so anxious!"

"Mother, there... there is a cave there, and there is a voice inside...", Xiaoxin saw her mother was really anxious, and her voice was timid, "It seems that someone is there!"

"What nonsense!" The woman followed the child's finger, but did not find the cave in her mouth, and shook her head, "You child, why are you running around? If you get lost, how should I go home and deal with your father? Let's go, this place is very damp, and it's easy to get sick if you stay for a long time."

Xiaoxin said "oh", and was led by the woman to go home obediently. Before she left, she looked back and found that the cave covered in thorns just now had disappeared without a trace.

Maybe it's an illusion!

The child turned his head and followed the woman obediently. The two gradually disappeared into the impenetrable forest.

And after the two left, the cave that just disappeared without a trace slowly appeared!Thorns also began to grow, and the sound of chains could be heard from time to time in the cave.

And on that chain, tied a woman.

Day two.

The sun was shining brightly, another group of people ushered in this forest, upon closer inspection, they were Li Banxi and Lian Shuo.The giant was still sitting on Li Banxi's left shoulder, and at some point, Xuanxuan also began to climb onto Lian Shuo's shoulder, maybe it was influenced by the giant, but it was not as lucky as the giant.

"Hey, old man," Lian Shuo pulled down the monkey that was jumping up to him, "Don't push yourself too hard! I've already given you wine, and you don't even have to walk, you're good enough!"

"What?" After being put down, Xuan Xun tirelessly jumped on Lian Shuo again, with a look of scorn, "I'm your half-master anyway, the master can't walk anymore, can't the apprentice help me? "

Lian Shuo rolled his eyes at it, too lazy to bother with it, and seeing the eerie, damp and sticky environment around him, he asked Sa Qingniang suspiciously: "Goddess...does she really live in this kind of place?"

Sao Qingniang was leading the way for half a day, she nodded sideways, and said: "She has been here for a year, and she has been wandering around the world before, but she was afraid that her people would be harmed by her, so she found such an inaccessible place .Combined with the suppression of temples and fairy locks, this place is not as severe as other places.”

"Immortal lock?" Li Banxi raised the bamboo basket and asked, "Are there any locks specially used to tie immortals?"

Seeing him lift the bamboo basket up, Lian Shuo took the initiative to unload the bamboo basket and said, "Let me carry it!"

Li Banxi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, there's not much stuff inside, I'm not tired."

Seeing this, Lian Shuo withdrew his hand without any further force.

Xuan Xun secretly shook his head aside, this kid, when did he become so cowardly?And this boy Banxi, when will he be enlightened!

An old man sees it and is anxious in his heart.

Sao Qingniang naturally also discovered the interaction between the two, but the topic did not lead to it. It responded to Li Banxi and said: "This fairy lock was specially used to tie up the immortals who committed crimes. Ordinary people are no different, they lose all their magic power, but if they are placed here, the advantage is that they cannot dry the land, and the disadvantages...there are too many disadvantages."

When Sao Qingniang said this, her face was full of distress, her eyes were moist and she said: "After the fairy lock is tied, my body hurts like ten thousand ants eating my heart..." Sao Qingniang couldn't hold back anymore, big drop big Tears fell down, "I don't know how she got here in the past few years... If I knew it was so painful that I couldn't even walk, I shouldn't have listened to her and helped her go to the Earth Temple to ask for a fairy lock... ... woo woo..."

Li Banxi wanted to comfort her, but this time he really didn't know what to say, should he say, don't cry, after a while the goddess will not feel it?

It was too cruel, he couldn't say it, but he had to face this scene.

"Is that the cave in front?" Lian Shuo had good eyesight, and he could see the cave hidden by thorns from a long distance.

Sao Qingniang nodded, stopped crying and sighed: "I don't know if this method... will it work?" Yesterday afternoon, after the sun went down, they began to return to Li Banxi's house, busy with Li Banxi's method .

"It should work!" Li Banxi replied, "I tried so many times yesterday, if there is no accident, it should be..." In fact, he didn't have the confidence, after all, he had never even seen the face of the goddess. There is only one way to do this, which is not a solution.

After all, when everyone feels that there is not much hope, he can't follow suit.

"You have to give it a try." Lian Shuo felt the weight on his shoulders being too heavy by the monkey, and stretched his muscles a little. Are you locked? The fairy lock has been tied to your body for so long, it should be taken back."

Although Lian Shuo spoke directly, it cannot be denied that what he said was true.

"Let's go." Li Banxi supported the branch growing from an ancient tree next to him, and also saw the dark cave.After a while, they came to the cave.

Xuan Xuan jumped off Lian Shuo's shoulder, her tone was not joking like usual, she said seriously: "This cave is too dark, Sao Qingniang and I will lead the way, you two will follow behind, don't get lost."

Then it looked back at Li Banxi: "If you get lost, you may die."

Lian Shuo rubbed his arms and shivered a little: "Why is this cave so cold? The goddess has always lived in this place, she is also a fairy, so choose a good place to live!"

Li Banxi felt that Xuanxuan's eyes were unusual, but he couldn't tell what was different.Regarding the cold that Lian Shuo mentioned, he didn't feel the yin energy of the cave at all, which may be the reason why this body is not afraid of the cold.

A group of people entered the cave.The road was very narrow, and only one person could pass through. Li Banxi followed behind Lian Shuo. It was extremely dark here, except for the sound of water drops and the sound of chains.

"Is the sound of the chain coming from the fairy lock?" Li Banxi was the first to speak. The sound passed through the stones above his head and the surrounding walls, and kept echoing in the cave, which was quite creepy.

Sao Qingniang stopped suddenly when she walked somewhere, and suddenly the cave was lit up. It turned out that it lit up the fire lamp that had been placed here before.

"That's indeed the sound of a fairy lock," Sao Qingniang continued to lead the way when she saw that the cave was lit up, "Ba is right ahead, let's go first, I'll go find her in a while, you guys find a place and fix things... ... After all, this method needs it, and the terrain is the key."

"Okay." Li Banxi agreed, this time he finally saw the whole picture of the cave clearly, only to find that although the outside of the cave is a dense forest with all kinds of strange plants, but the inside of the cave is bare, either stones or loess, no grass grows.It may be that the ability of the goddess to cause severe drought is only mostly restricted by the fairy lock.

After walking for a while, the light of the fire in front gradually faded, and Li Banxi could only discern the way out from the gap on the roof of the cave, and if he was not careful, he would bump into Lian Shuo.

"It's alright."

Li Banxi couldn't see Lian Shuo's face clearly in the darkness, so he just said, "It's all right. Are you coming soon?"

"Well, it's here." Sao Qingniang also stopped and turned her head, and said to Li Banxi, "If you follow your method, the position where you are standing is the best. After a while, I will say 'Yinglong is coming', That's the beginning."

"Okay." Li Banxi put it in the bamboo basket and took out the contents. He didn't know if this method would work. Now that the maiden is in front of him, he can only give it a go.

Sao Qingniang flew forward alone, there was no way, the cave was too dark, according to Sao Qingniang, there was a pool of water around where the goddess was, and ordinary people couldn't get through it, besides, it was the only one who knew the way the most, so it was the easiest way for it to go alone. It couldn't be better.

"Bao," Sao Qingniang crossed the water and heard the chain, "Are you okay?"

"You're back." The voice was clear and translucent, with the frailty of a woman, not like someone who was about to die.

The cave was too dark, and Li Banxi could only see one person lying on the ground. He couldn't see his figure or appearance clearly, but just by listening to the voice, he could deduce from the fact that the goddess Ba was beautiful, wise, and not lacking in wisdom and courage. He secretly clenched his hands bottle.

"Where's Ying Long? Have you found him?" Tiannv's hearing and eyesight were greatly impaired at this time, except for Sao Qingniang, she didn't feel the existence of Li Banxi and the others. She just continued to ask Ying Long's news, although the voice was weak. , but full of anticipation and eagerness.

"Here we come." Sao Qingniang gently comforted her: "It's not far away!"

Tiannv struggled to get up and looked out: "Why didn't you see it?"

Sao Qingniang continued: "He's here, but he feels ashamed of you and doesn't want to come to see you, he just wants to watch you quietly outside."

After speaking, he shouted to one party: "Ying Long is here."

This is the code.

For a moment, the cave was filled with soft light, and the light hit the wall, carving out a vague outline.

It was the shadow of Ying Long.
