Becoming a Demon [Comprehensive]

Shen Luo watched from a distance, and through the crowd, he could vaguely hear the voice of crying and shouting inside.

"It's so pitiful. I finally got a grandson, but I feel like I've lost my soul." Under the big tree beside him, a middle-aged man with a basket on his back looked at the crowd and sighed.

Shen Luo's eyes moved over. It was a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life. He was wearing a bunt and was carrying a basket on his back. In the basket, the leaves of vegetables could be vaguely seen. He seemed to be a countryman selling vegetables at a temple fair.

The younger man next to the middle-aged man heard this and asked curiously, "Could it be that you know this family?"

"This old woman is from the nearby Xiaowang Village. There is a paralyzed wife at home. Her son was conscripted by the government many years ago, and there has been no news since then. The daughter-in-law couldn't bear the hardship, left the child and remarried, leaving only the old woman She lives with her only grandson. She makes cloth shoes on weekdays and sells a stall outside the temple for a living. Some time ago, her grandson ran off to nowhere and couldn’t sleep after returning home. Not long after, he disappeared. The old lady brought her grandson to the temple to show the master, but unfortunately the master couldn't do anything. I don't know how the old woman got here, I think she must have the idea of ​​committing suicide." After the man finished speaking, Taking another look at the crowd around him, he sighed and left.

These words were not only heard by Shen Luo, but also by many people. A little maid said with sympathy, "This is too pitiful for grandparents and grandchildren. Is there any way to help them?"

"Is there any way? We don't know any high-level people. If Master Shanxing is still there, he will definitely be able to help." The servant girl had obviously seen the old Taoist's methods, and her tone was full of admiration.

"That's right, who let us meet too late."

The maids started talking to each other, Shen Luo didn't speak, Qing He stood beside her with a worried expression on his face, and he didn't have time to discipline these little maids.

When the servant who went to investigate came back, Shen Luo listened to what he had inquired, and it was roughly the same as what he heard just now.It’s just that the family member should be more specific, such as what is the old woman’s husband’s family name, and the monks in the temple are not ignored, but the masters with higher Dharma are not there.

It is said that some time ago, the empress dowager was restless, so she recruited masters with profound Buddhist teachings from various temples to give lectures to the late emperor, including the masters from Daming Temple.It just so happens that this year is the triennial Buddhist seminar, which is related to the ranking of the major temples across the country, so all the masters in the temples who are profound in Buddhism have gone to the capital.

No wonder the old woman had nowhere to ask for help.

"In that case, why didn't the old lady leave? The monk has no other choice but Taoist priests?" Can't you really want to jump into the river?

Shen Luo didn't speak, but the little maid beside him hurriedly asked.

The servant looked at Shen Luo and saw that the lady was also staring at him, so he immediately replied respectfully: "It was an idea from a young monk in the temple to ask the old woman to take her grandson to visit the Qiling Pagoda. The relics of the eminent monks of all ages may be able to solve the problem of the old woman's grandson."

"Why don't you go to the Qiling Pagoda quickly? What's the matter with being blocked here?" Another little maid asked first.

A look of fear flashed in the servant's eyes, "Who said it wasn't, it's just that the grandson of the old woman refused to go any further when she got here, and the old woman couldn't do a deadlift. The child suddenly seemed to have changed his face and looked fierce. Now Everyone only dared to surround him from a distance to prevent him from escaping, and they did not dare to approach him."

Hearing this, Shen Luo looked over from a distance, and sure enough, he found that people approached from time to time, and people left from time to time, but there was no gap in the encirclement.

"Let's go, let's go and have a look." Shen Luo said to Qing He with a relaxed face.

Qing He pulled Shen Luo's sleeve nervously, "Lady, it's dangerous there, let's not go there, shall we?"

Shen Luo pulled out her sleeves, she said confidently: "Don't worry, I'll see if I won't be hurt!"

Seeing that Shen Luo didn't listen to her, Qing He could only hastily recruit the maids around him to follow.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, everybody get out of the way, this is Daoist Sun of Qionghua Temple, let's all get out of the way, let the Daoist take a look." A burly man led a shriveled little old man over and shouted towards the crowd .

Hearing his shout, the crowd was in a commotion for a moment, and even the faint crying of the old woman stopped.

The big man stepped aside, and the little old man came out. He was not tall and only reached the big man's chest. He was wearing a gray shirt and black cloth shoes. His gray hair was tied up in a bun and fixed with a wooden hairpin.

Qionghua Temple is a famous Taoist temple, and Daming Temple respectively dominates the large and small Taoist temples in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Master Shen also mentioned this Taoist temple, and told Shen Luo not to take the initiative to provoke the other party. After all, compared to temples, Taoist temples are better at catching ghosts. Do not provoke or do not take the initiative to provoke.

Thinking of this, Shen Luo couldn't help but slow down a lot.

Sun Daochang was taken over by the big man with a serious face. The people who surrounded him had heard of Sun Daochang's name, and when they saw him coming, they hurriedly let him in.

Seeing this scene, Shen Luo couldn't help being happy, the world is developing so fast now, even Taoist priests can go to temples to grab business?

However, except for Shen Luo who was still thinking about it, everyone else was busy opening their eyes wide to see how Daoist Sun would show off his skills. This was much better than the juggling tricks outside the temple!

With the help of the servant girl, Shen Luo successfully squeezed into the encirclement.

Ignoring the white eyes of the surrounding people, Shen Luo didn't look at Daoist Sun and the old woman's grandson first, but instead focused on the old woman first.

When the old woman saw Daoist Sun, she knelt down and kowtowed as if she was seeing a lifesaver, "Please also ask Daoist to save my child's life."

Shen Luo's eyes stayed on the old woman's face for a short while, she frowned inadvertently, and then she turned her eyes on the old woman's grandson. The child wanted to run when he saw the Taoist priest coming, but unfortunately he was caught by Daoist Sun.

Sun Daochang grabbed the old woman's grandson's wrist with his right hand, and pressed the child's life gate with his thumb, keeping the child motionless, making a "scare" sound from his mouth, and the next second his harmless face was replaced by a fierce look at Sun Daochang .

Sun Daochang pretended not to see it, stretched out a talisman and did not know when it appeared between his fingers, Sun Daochang patted the talisman, and the talisman was firmly attached to the child's forehead.

The child tore off the Taoist talisman with his other free hand, but the talisman did not budge.

Now even ordinary people can see that something is wrong with the child, and the big guy looks at this scene with fear and excitement.

Shen Luo shook his head, lamenting that this group of people really did not want their lives. The thing on this child obviously has a history, and it is also a very dangerous thing.

Whoever gets close is unlucky, she just glanced at it casually, and the faces of the few closest people had a trace of black lines wrapped around their faces, obviously tainted with filth.

Those who are light will definitely wrestle and see blood, and those who are serious will suffer a serious illness, so it is not hard life, it is better not to join in some excitement!

"Do you think this little thing can stop me?" The child suddenly said, his voice hoarse, as if there was another person talking in his body.

The people leaning in the front row were startled, and suddenly scattered back. Some timid ones had escaped from the encirclement and stepped back a hundred steps to watch from afar.

Soon, the encirclement became loose, and Shen Luo was left with only the maids who were protecting her.

Sun Daochang flicked the whisk, put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together in front of his mouth, closed his eyes and began to chant the mantra.

Soon the runes on the talisman paper began to glow red, the child's face was distorted, but he laughed, glared at Daoist Sun fiercely, and said: "It's useless, if you can do it, you can't force me out! "

Sun Daochang obviously also noticed this, he opened his eyes and frowned, his eyes were full of dignity.

The old woman on the side cried loudly to her grandson: "What do you have to blame me for? Don't hurt my grandson, he is still a child!"

The child glanced at the old woman, and there was hatred and bloodthirsty pleasure in that look.If it wasn't for the talisman paper on his forehead, he might have rushed over long ago.

Everyone obviously noticed that two young men ran over and pulled the old woman back, and said in their mouths: "Grandma He, please avoid it first, don't block the way of the Taoist priest." Mother-in-law is very close.

In the open space in the middle of the encirclement, only Daoist Sun and the child were left. Although the old Taoist caught the child's life, he couldn't do anything with the things in the child's body for a while.

That thing might have noticed it too, and yelled strangely: "Use any other means, now I am fused with this child's soul, if you want to force me out, you have to be prepared for the child's soul to fly away. "

Sun Daochang didn't say a word, obviously aware of the situation.

Instead of doing anything else to irritate the thing, he asked, "Why are you pestering this child?"

The child gritted his teeth, let out a low growl, and glared at the old woman with hatred, "Who let this old woman destroy my real body, of course I will pester this child, and make her feel the same pain!"

The people around were in an uproar. They thought it was the child who provoked the dirty things, but they didn't expect that the old woman did it herself, and now the retribution is on her grandson.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the old woman quickly shook her head and explained: "No, no, I have never done it. I am only at home on weekdays. How could I do such a thing!"

People who know the old woman think about it too. The old woman has a paralyzed husband in her family, and she can't live without him on weekdays. I really haven't seen her acting strangely.

Daoist Sun asked, "Have you encountered any weird things in this month?"

The old woman thought for a while, and then said: "There are indeed strange things. A few evenings ago, I was cooking porridge at home, and a long worm fell into the pot from the beam of the house. When I found out, the long worm had been boiled, and the pot The clear porridge turned into meat porridge. My grandson smelled the meat and was so hungry that his stomach croaked, and the pot of meat porridge went into my grandson's belly."

The child was fixed there, shouting: "That's me, it's me, and I'm not a worm, don't compare me with that low-level stuff. I'm..."

Before the child finished speaking, he heard a voice of Buddha from outside the crowd, "Amitabha, please make way, Tanyue."

After a moment of commotion among the crowd, five or six monks in yellow gowns and a dozen gray-clothed novice monks were seen standing outside the crowd.

The caller was a young monk in his twenties. Seeing that everyone moved out of the way, he thanked him, and then walked into the encirclement with the monks behind him.

Shen Luo took a step back and hid herself in the crowd. Seeing this large group of monks coming in to confront Daoist Sun, she knew there was a good show to be had.
