There are many ghosts on the road of alms

Chu Liu and his grandfather and grandson chatted while walking, but Chu Liu avoided the topic of Luoyan Mountain.

When going out in the morning, Li Hengqiang specifically told the sixth day that she must not say that she came down from Luoyan Mountain.

After all, Luoyan Mountain has a dangerous reputation and can easily scare people.

After about one stick of incense, the three of them arrived at Sunshine Park.

There was no opportunity to help the grandmother's grandson on the sixth day of the sixth day, so I had to continue to follow, paying attention to the surrounding environment while walking.

From the outside of the park, the park is a regular square, extending along the north and east, and then the park is surrounded by flower beds, allowing tourists to enter and exit freely in places without flowers and plants, and it is open to the public for free.

But even if it is free to open, very few people come to the park for a walk, and the park itself occupies a large area, which makes people feel more empty.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, they came in from the east gate. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw a lush and tall banyan tree in the west direction. They could only see a piece of green, but not the trunk.Moreover, there are many flowers and plants along the way, and their growth is extremely conspicuous, a bit like those trees planted on Luoyan Mountain, which made Chu Liu feel a lot more friendly.

Chu Liu was really fascinated when he got to the wishing tree.

The branches and leaves of the old banyan tree covered an area of ​​more than 100 square meters. Even though the old lady said that the old banyan tree looked lifeless, it still shocked Chu Liu.

The original concrete street became the original land within the area covered by the old banyan tree, and even a very gentle small mound appeared, making the old banyan tree higher than the ground level.What's even more amazing is that 81 white textured stone bricks are laid around the roots of the tree.

The circumference of the tree is seven meters, and the old banyan tree with a height of about 18 meters seems to be covered with a white armor, which can be pulled out of the ground at any time.

And in the city center full of yang, to be able to grow like this is really a fine thing.

Everyone who cultivates the Tao knows that it is the most difficult thing for plants to become refined, and there is no room for rudeness on the sixth day.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, she politely returned the fruit bag to the grandmother, then put the clothes she just bought at her feet, tidied her clothes from head to toe, clasped her hands together, silently recited Amitabha, and bowed to the old banyan tree.

As the breeze blows by my ears, the leaves of the old banyan tree rustle, as if welcoming her.

Feeling the kindness of the old banyan tree, Chu Liu smiled slightly.

Pick up the clothes you just bought and look around.

On the sixth day of the first day, I found that the stone bricks on the ground near the old banyan tree had some raised lines.These lines pass through the altar 9 meters east of the tree roots, forming three vortexes.

And in the vortex is a futon made of stone. Chu Liu was very curious and silently remembered these lines in his heart.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, I turned around and saw the old lady take out fruit and put it on the altar, and took one from the pile of wishing cards hanging beside the table, and knelt on the futon with her grandson.

The old grandma closed her eyes and held the wishing card tightly with both hands. After a while, she held the wishing card in front of her body with both hands and bowed her head on the futon.

After a while, the old lady got up and wanted to hang the wishing card on the tree.On the sixth day of the lunar calendar, he was worried that the old man would be inconvenient and wanted to come forward to help.

"Don't interfere, let the old man do it himself."

"who?"

When Chu Liu heard the sound, she quickly moved away, and she didn't even notice that there was someone behind her.

Seeing Chu Liu startled, the man in the gray hoodie covered his mouth and laughed.

But the little boy who had finished kneeling, heard Chu Liu's cry, thought it was calling him, and ran over.

"Master, are you calling me?"

Seeing the man's belly laugh, Chu Liu couldn't help rolling his eyes, then patted the little boy's head, and said, "Hey, I'm talking to the brother next to me."

"Brother? Where is brother? Are you playing hide and seek?"

Hearing this sentence on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the whole person froze, and could not help cursing in his heart: "The ghosts in the city still have such fashionable clothes these days? forming."

The ghost benefactor in a gray robe squatted down on the ground happily after seeing Chu Liu's froze.

"Come here, little bald donkey, see who I am?" The gray-robed ghost suppressed his smile, took off his hat, and revealed his appearance.

Chu Liu looked at that face and remembered who it was.

It was the big ghost I met when I was at Li Hengqiang's house.

"First, don't call me bald donkey. My name is Chu Liu. Second, what's your name? Why didn't I notice your aura just now?"

"Oh, the sixth day. Then you can call me Haozi." The big ghost rolled his eyes and continued, "As for why you couldn't find me, of course I can't tell you."

After the big ghost finished speaking, he stopped near the sixth day, just standing on those textured stone bricks.

Chu Liu thought that the big ghost was going to attack her again, so he immediately concentrated his mana on the palm of his hand and slapped it.However, this blow not only failed to gather mana, but also did not harm the big ghost.

"There are a lot of things that need to be paid attention to in N City. Letting you, a little nun with little experience in the world, come out alone, your master is also very serious." The big ghost patted his clothes and said leisurely.

"I've never been a teacher, and I'm not a nun either." Chu Liu saw that he couldn't hit Haozi, so he withdrew his hand and covered his whole body with inner strength again.

The big ghost froze for a moment and said: "Forget it, don't you want to help that old lady? Hurry up, that old man has already hung up the wishing card, just in time, you can help his grandson solve it while the old man is not paying attention. body problems."

The big ghost actually followed Chu Liu early this morning, and since he escaped from Chu Liu's hands that day, he went to the ghost market and bought an invisibility cloak to cover up the yin energy on his body.

So far it looks good, but the price is a bit painful.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, she saw that the old man was packing up her things and was about to take her grandson away, so she had no choice but to do what the big ghost said first, ignoring how the big ghost knew that she was going to help the old man.

Chu Liu silently focused his thoughts on the palm of his left hand, ready to grab the back of the little boy, and grab the ghosts that were shrunk in the boy's body.

Just at this time, the little boy heard his grandma calling him home.

Just as he was about to run over, he felt a stir, and then there was a pulling force from behind, grabbing him off the ground, and then gently putting him down again.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, when the little boy wanted to turn his head to see what was going on, he put his left hand behind his back, secretly made a seal with his right hand, patted the little boy on the back, like dusting his clothes, and told him to go to grandma quickly.

The little boy thought it was Chu Liu's little master who supported him, so he bowed to Chu Liu and said "thank you".

With this thank you, a ray of merit entered Chu Liu's body.

Chu Liu smiled and waved to the little boy.

After the grandma left with her grandson, Chu Liu frowned as she looked at the ghosts in her left hand.

This kind of little ghost has no mind and only knows to feed on human essence and blood. How can he be saved?

"Oh, don't you know what kind of place this is?"

The word "helpless" was clearly written on Haozi's handsome face.Looking at Chu Liu's blank expression, Haozi knew that Chu Liu was either from a foreign city or a monk from Ye Luzi.

A long time ago, the location of the old banyan tree was the city gate of the underworld, but I don’t know which dynasty’s authorities insisted on building the city and expanding the land here, disturbing the order of the underworld, causing frequent wars here, and the people were miserable when they were alive. You have to travel long distances to the city gate elsewhere before you can enter the reincarnation of the underworld.

Later, a recluse master couldn't stand it any longer, and came to Buzhen here to let the power of people's prayers protect the ghosts who want to go to the underworld, so that they will not be burned by human yang, nor by monks. The banyan tree spirit was also placed here to practice, so as to suppress the strong yin energy of the city gate.

Therefore, it is also called the place of prayer by the monks.

Haozi said that he was a little thirsty, took the bottle out of his clothes, sat on the ground, and continued: "This place of prayer is very famous in the practice circle of N City, and it can even be said to be famous all over the country. , because this is a place where humans, ghosts, and demon cultivators coexist. Here, humans and ghosts do not invade each other, and they can use exercises to defend themselves, but they cannot attack each other, so it is a place that makes people feel at ease."

Haozi pointed to the sixth day, and then pointed to himself, "There are many monks like you, and ghost cultivators like me, sitting on the floor with people from different sects, drinking tea and discussing Taoism, and learning about Taoism. There are also many demons. Build in the garden, build a nest and settle down, and reproduce.”

"Every summer solstice and winter solstice, colorful lanterns are centered on the old banyan tree, radiating toward the southeast, northwest, and four directions. People, ghosts, and ghosts use human appearance to sell food and treasures from all walks of life on the streets in the four directions. "Haozi looked at the sky lazily, and recalled the past while talking, "Everyone can wander in the streets in any direction. If you get tired of walking, you can come to the old banyan tree to drink and revel."

For practitioners, the place of prayer is both the human world and the paradise of peach blossoms.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, one can imagine how prosperous this place was during its heyday, and how carefree the monks were.

However, everything in front of me...

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's useless to tell you little girl. The little ghosts in your hand, either you chanted sutras to save them, or put them on the stone bricks with textures, the banyan tree spirit will naturally Send them to the underworld." Haozi changed back to his previous foolishness.

Seeing that Haozi changed the subject on the sixth day, he swallowed his doubts.

"By the way, how is that golden retriever? Did it leave or stay?" Haozi shook the wine bottle, pretending to be indifferent and asked.

When Xiaojin was mentioned, Chu Liu's eyes still showed sadness. After all, Xiaojin was the first creature she rescued. "I fulfilled its wish, and then rescued it."

"Oh, my wish is fulfilled, I think it's very happy to come here." Haozi poured the remaining wine in the bottle on the ground, then got up and touched Chu Liu's bald head, "Since you're not a nun, let's hold on to the long hair. "

After Haozi finished speaking, he waved his hands and ran away quickly, fearing that Chu Liu would fight back.He still remembers how he was beaten black and blue on the sixth day of the lunar new year.

Chu Liu gritted his teeth, seeing that he couldn't catch Haozi, let it go, and put a few little ghosts on the stone bricks.

As dusk approached, the sun slanted on the old banyan tree, and the leaves were shining brightly. Unfortunately, no one else could see this scene except the sixth day of the day.

The sixth day was inexplicably sad, facing the setting sun and leaning against the old banyan tree, closing his eyes and meditating.

On the sixth day of the sixth day, he recalled the scene described by Haozi in his mind, imagined the brilliance here, and slowly settled down

At this time, on the sixth day of the lunar new year, the plain clothes on her body were dyed golden red by the afterglow of the setting sun, and a warm smile gradually appeared on her delicate face.

She felt a sense of familiarity.

As if, she spent a long time here.

Here, there are her emotions, and her important memories, but she seems to have forgotten something.

"Wow".

The sound of leaves shaking awakened Chu Liu, her bright eyes looked clear and deep under the setting sun.
