Jiajing Spiritual Records

The clatter of horseshoes gradually dispersed in the air, and Su Xian's figure completely disappeared from Ning Huan's vision.The two Jinyi guards beside him were still asking questions, while Ning Huan listened to the village chief's reply in a nonchalant manner.The village was eerily quiet, and there was a faint fishy smell all around. The sound of "tick, tick" just now seemed to be still echoing in Ning Huan's ears.Headless corpse, disappearance, cousin... Ning Huanfang was thinking, when suddenly his back felt cold, and a cold gaze fell directly on him. Ning Huan turned his head suddenly, but there was no one behind him. ...

Ning Huan frowned, then his eyes fell on the treacherous temple behind him.is there?Ning Huan hesitated, he glanced at the crowd.The two guards in Jin Yi were still concentrating on their questioning. The old village chief had a pale face and erratic eyes. Apart from the fear caused by seeing the headless corpse just now, there seemed to be something more. The three of them asked and answered. .Seeing that no one was paying attention, Ning Huan raised his foot and walked towards the temple.

I don't know if it was Ning Huan's illusion, but the temperature around him suddenly dropped by a few points.Ning Huan frowned, he raised his head slightly, not long after noon, the sun was still shining brightly, but Ning Huan shivered as if he was in an ice cellar.

The temple door in front of me was locked tightly, and the four characters "Xi Le Buddha Temple" on the plaque were painted brightly with black paint.The gate, the high walls and the rubble on the top of the temple are all painted with red paint, which is different from the red paint of ordinary temples. The red paint has a bloody ghostly aura, as if a twist of the hand can make the palm full of blood.

The cold wind made a "rustling" sound along the gaps in the temple's white paper.Ning Huan hesitated for a moment, then walked to the window, leaned forward along the finger-thick slit and looked in.

On both sides of the temple hall are sixteen statues of creeping evil ghosts, lifelike, with dry hands stretched out to the center, as if they are struggling.And in the middle there is a statue of Buddha, "Happy Buddha".Ning Huan had seen the Avalokitesvara statue before, and he had also been to the Arhat Hall, but it was the first time he had seen such a "Buddha".One head, four hands, eight legs, the head is divided into two halves from between the eyebrows, half human, half ghost, half kind-hearted, half vicious, looking down at a group of evil spirits below; each of the four hands holds a human head in the palm, The heads have different joys, anger, sorrows and joys; the eight legs are tightly intertwined.

Ning Huan was suffocated, and Zheng Fang wanted to leave, but saw the eyes of the "Xi Le Buddha" turning slightly, looking at him coldly, and with a sound of "click, click, click", the evil ghost below He straightened up slowly, and the red-painted temple door creaked open...

"My lord? Are you okay?" The feeling of being as cold as an ice cellar disappeared, and Ning Huan seemed to have returned to the world. The ground was glued to the top without a single gap.

"My lord, are you alright?" Ning Huan's cuffs were pulled slightly, so he looked down, only to see the boy who had just talked to Su Xian looking at him with worry, "What happened to me in the back just now?" I called you, but you didn't answer, I was worried, so..."

Ning Huan twitched the corner of his mouth: "I'm fine, just now...thank you." Ning Huan took a deep breath, thinking to himself that there really is a ghost in this temple, but unfortunately now that Su Xian has entered the palace, Ning Huan didn't know what to look for for a while. Who to discuss.

Ning Huan stared at the temple in front of him, with a hint of uneasiness on his brows, he turned his head to look at the young man, and asked, "When was this temple built?"

"Just a few days ago." The young man didn't know what to think of, his face changed slightly, he pulled Ning Huan a few steps away, leaned into his ear and whispered, "This is an evil temple." He hesitated for a moment, He added, "Those who worshiped the Buddha of Joy first all disappeared."

Ning Huan frowned, looked at the anxious village chief in the distance, and asked again: "Then why did your village chief build this temple?"

The young man thought for a while and replied: "A strange man came to the village a few days ago. At that time, Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law got a strange disease. The doctors said it was not good, and she would not live long. But that strange man said that only Wang Mazi If he is willing to worship the Buddha of Joy, his daughter-in-law's illness will be healed naturally. At first Wang Mazi didn't believe it, but later he couldn't help it. Hearing the strange man's words, he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to be cured the next day. Since then, everyone They all began to believe in the Buddha of Joy, and the village chief also built a temple for the Buddha of Joy after hearing what the weird man said."

Ning Huan nodded, pondered for a moment and then said: "So that's the case. Besides you, is there anyone else in the village who hasn't worshiped the Buddha of Joy?" The young man pursed his lips and shook his head.

Looking at the young man, Ning Huan suddenly became curious: "Then why don't you worship the Buddha of Joy? Don't you have anything to ask for?"

The young man blinked, and replied: "I never believed in Buddhism. If there is a Buddha in the world who can save all living beings, why are all living beings still suffering?" There was light in the young man's eyes. After thinking about it seriously, he finally smiled slyly at the boy and said, "I don't believe it either." The boy was taken aback when he heard that.

Ning Huan put away the smile on his face and turned around. He looked at the strange village in front of him, and at the young man's thin body, and said, "It's not safe here, do you want to follow me?" How many days will you stay in the capital?" The young man was silent, and after a while, he shook his head.Seeing that his eyes were determined, Ning Huan stopped persuading him.The two Jinyi guards behind were about to leave for the capital, and Ning Huan hurriedly told him to be more careful.

At dusk, Ning Huan finally returned to Ning Mansion.As soon as Fang entered, the housekeeper Ning Si greeted him. "Hey, young master, where did you go this day? There are monsters eating people outside the capital, why do you keep running outside!"

Ning Huan couldn't help having a headache, and rolled his eyes silently. Ning Huan was taught the housekeeper's nagging faults since he was a child, and he wouldn't stop talking for a while.Ning Huan had no choice but to ask important questions first: "How is my cousin?"

Ning Si slapped his forehead and exclaimed: "But forget about it, Master Tang is back!"

Ning Huan suddenly raised his head and asked, "He's back?" Ning Huan's joy was quickly taken away by the ensuing worries, he frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "Then where is he now? "

Ning Si was puzzled by the young master's reaction for a moment, so he could only say: "Master Tang is of course at the house now, but just now Master Tang sent someone to report his safety and said that he has returned."

Ning Huan thought for a moment, and as if he had made up his mind, he took back half of Fang's foot when he stepped into the house, turned around and said, "Uncle Ning, I'm going to find my cousin now, I don't have to wait tonight. me."

"Young master! Young master!" Ning Si shouted from behind, but saw that his young master left without looking back...

"Huan'er, why did you come here?" Ning Huan's uncle Ning Zhang asked.

Ning Huan arched his hands, and bowed to his uncle who greeted him outside the door: "I heard that cousin Ning Cheng is back, so I ran here because I was worried."

Ning Zhang smiled: "It's hard for you to miss him so much." Ning Sheng is Ning Zhang's only son, who was favored since he was a child. Ning Zhang is also very happy to be able to escape from danger this time.So he waved his hand and said with a smile: "I don't think you should go back tonight. I'll send someone to tell your father, and I will live at my uncle's house."

Ning Huan smiled, nodded in agreement, and because he missed his cousin who had disappeared for a few days and returned home, he exchanged a few words with his uncle, got up and ran to the wing in the backyard.Ning Zhang waved his hand and followed him.At this moment, Ning Huan felt uneasy, with cold sweat on his palms, and the scene he had seen during the day could not help appearing in his mind.Those headless corpses, if the cousin...

The sky was getting dark, and the cold white moon rose, the only remaining moonlight was covered by the dense branches in the courtyard, and the darkness was so dense that it was suffocating.Only my cousin lived in the backyard, which was the case many years ago, because Ning Sheng had the habit of getting up early to practice martial arts, so Ning Zhang followed him, but occasionally Ning Huan would stay in his cousin's courtyard for a few days.

So when Ning Huan rushed to the backyard in a hurry, there was no one in the backyard, only the candle lamp was still burning in the wing room where his cousin lived.Ning Huan took a deep breath and walked along the dark corridor.

The door of my cousin's house was closed tightly, and under the dim candlelight, a long figure was projected on the door and window.There was a slight crack in the window lattice.Ning Huan approached slowly, but he saw his cousin was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, his long hair was hanging down, but the imposing eight-foot man was painting his eyebrows and makeup in front of the mirror like a woman, showing a touch of coquettishness from time to time...

"Who?" A sharp female voice came from within, and Ning Cheng turned his head abruptly.Ning Huan's footsteps faltered, he took a deep breath, and tried his best to suppress the pounding heartbeat in his heart.

"It's me! Ning Huan" His right hand was inserted into the wide cuff, which contained a stack of talisman papers that Su Xian had stuffed for him earlier.Ning Huan pushed open the door generously, "I heard that my cousin is back, and my younger brother is worried, so I came to visit."

Ning Cheng put down the wooden comb in his hand, he stood up, but without making a sound, he had already walked in front of Ning Huan, his fingers lightly brushed the broken hair by Ning Huan's ear, and there was a feminine look in his gestures. Qi: "Cousin really has a heart." He leaned against Ning Huan, his black eyes turned white for a moment, but soon returned to normal, and he asked in a serious tone, "Just now, cousin Have you ever seen anything?"

Ning Huan's back was drenched in cold sweat, he shook his head, "What did you find?" Ning Huan said in a relaxed tone, "Could it be that my cousin Jinwu Zangjiao is hiding something that my younger brother can't see?"

"Hiding..." Ning Cheng's voice slowly elongated, suddenly a cold hand strangled Ning Huan's neck.

"Cousin, what are you doing?" Ning Huan's right hand pinching the talisman tightened slightly in his sleeve...

"Eldest Young Master, Tang Young Master!" A servant ran in panting, interrupting the dignified atmosphere.Ning Cheng's hand suddenly let go, and the servant couldn't help being stunned when he saw the young master's heavily made-up face: "Master, this is..."

Ning Huan is now very sure that the person in front of him is not his cousin.Just what does he want to do?where is his cousinNing Huan's eyes flashed, even if he did it now was not the perfect time.Ning Huan could only hold him steady, smiled and said: "It's nothing, I'm just joking with my cousin."

The young man answered in a low voice, "Old... the master said that the banquet can be held."

"Understood." Ning Cheng sullenly turned his eyes to look at Ning Huan, "Cousin, please go first."

During the dinner, Ning Cheng didn't show any difference, but was a little silent, which made Ning Huan even more confused about what this person wanted to do.Ning Zhang saw that the two brothers were cold-hearted, so he could only smooth things over and said to Ning Huan, "Huan'er, don't blame your cousin, he is like this because he was frightened."

Ning Huan nodded, expressing his understanding.He lowered his eyes and glanced at the expressionless "Ning Cheng", and the ghostly black air became more and more intense.Those headless corpses in the house, people who died tragically, people who suddenly appeared after disappearing... Ning Huan's heart tightened, and he had to find a way to restrain him first.

It was night, and the watchman had finished beating the gong for the third watch.Ning Huan lay on the bed with his clothes on, eyes open.Ning Huan has sent someone to secretly send a message to Su Xian, if he leaves the palace, he will know everything that happened today.

The night is quiet, the candles have died down, leaving only the broken moonlight all over the ground.Ning Huan nestled under the blanket, panting lightly, holding the talisman in his left hand, and the knife in his right hand...

"Hahahaha", at this moment there was a sound outside the door, the latch was unlocked, and the door was gently pushed open...
