Holy Bone

The real owner of this temple...

After the bone shrinker finished speaking, hoo, a gust of wind suddenly poured in from outside the temple gate, and the temple gate was heavily closed.

The whistling wind swirled sharply over the old temple, making a sharp and terrifying howling sound.

All these changes came suddenly, as if this sentence represented some kind of unspeakable existence, which directly violated the greatest taboo.

The sudden gust of wind not only brought the temple gate, but also blew away the moisture-proof cloth covering the dry firewood on the carbon seller's back, revealing a strange scene.

What kind of dry wood is this!
It's a stone statue!
It turned out that Zhang Gao, the carbon seller, was carrying a god statue from the beginning to the end!
The statue is full of potholes and stains left by the traces of time, and it has been weathered so badly for at least hundreds of years of wind and rain.

This statue is carved with a hundred-eyed Taoist statue.

The most treacherous thing is that those hundred eyes on the surface of the stone statue are actually vivid human eyes, blinking evilly from time to time, so dense that it makes one's scalp tingle, with extreme evil.

No wonder Zhang Gao couldn't see which gods and Buddhas were enshrined in the temple before. It turned out that the stone statue of the Hundred-eyed Taoist Lord had been carried on his back all the time, and he became a ghost refined from the stone statue of the Hundred-eyed Taoist Lord, helping the evil spirits and the people. The stone statue of Daoist Lord of Eyes wanders in the mountains, looking for living hearts, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, and eyeballs, and helping the stone statue of Daoist with hundreds of eyes to make up more eyeballs.

If eating a living person according to the trick can make up a pair of eyeballs, the stone statue of the hundred-eyed Taoist monarch in the old temple in the deep mountain has already eaten many people.

The history of this Baiyan Daojun Temple is too long. No one can remember the reason for its construction. Maybe the mountain people don’t want to experience the disorientation like Zhang Gao, so they spontaneously built such a mountain temple in the mountain. Firstly, I hope there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain occasionally, and secondly, I hope that I can see the road ahead and not get lost in the mountains... It's just that time has changed, and nothing is eternal, and the sea can change, not to mention the change of people's mind , no one enshrines the mountain temple, and the mountain temple is slowly abandoned, slowly reduced to a nest of yin-loving snakes, insects, rats and ants, and has become a place for gathering yin. The heart of Baiyan Daojun has also changed. The Daoist Lord who prayed for blessings turned into an evil god who felt resentful after being abandoned by others...

Anyway, who knows what the specific truth is, just like why no one cares about why Baiyan Daojun became black.

As the stone statue of the hundred-eyed Daoist manifested its real body, Zhang Gao, the ghost, also showed his original appearance. Zhang Gao decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally turned into a blackened mummy that had been dead for some years and was covered with mold spots.

Just like every family in the mountains will hang dried bacon under the eaves.

Facing the scene in front of him, the bone shrinker showed no tension or fear on his face. Instead, he asked if anything special happened in the mountains these days?or someone special?
The stone statue of the hundred-eyed Daoist Lord did not speak, only the ghoul stared straight at the bone shrinker with Zhang Gao's eyes, and the eyeballs only had scary whites and no pupils.

The bone shrinker snorted coldly: "Greedy brats are the most difficult to deal with. On the way I came, I happened to meet two robbers who blocked my way. They were under the altar in the hall."

When the ghost Zhang Gao stepped into the temple, he lifted off the faded gray altar tablecloth, and saw under the altar table two big knots, their mouths blocked by cloth, and they were staring at their living sacrifices with horrified eyes. At that time, the ghost Zhang Gao laughed.

The more fearful and terrified the eyes of a living person, the more delicious it is in the world, and it is the most nourishing tonic in the world.

The evil ghost Zhang Gao pounced on the two robbers, screaming in pain and violently twitching their bodies, and the two living people quickly became silent.

As the ghost Zhang Gao stood up, he saw that the flesh of the two people's faces had been eaten to a bloody mass, their eye sockets were hollow, and their eyeballs disappeared.

After receiving the sacrifice, the stone statue of the Hundred-eyed Daoist, who was satisfied, spoke through the mouth of Zhang Gao, the ghost under his seat. It was a hoarse and dry, sinister voice: "You...should...help me practice faster...as long as I cultivate to the thousand-eyed state... ...to get out of this place...to help you more..."

"Isn't that...the reason why you keep coming to the temple...to find me...Jie Jie..."

The ghost Zhang Gao spoke intermittently, looking very difficult.

Or to be more precise, the stone statue of the Hundred-Eyed Daoist Monarch had been silent in the deserted temple for too long, had little communication with the outside world, and was not good at speaking.

The bone shrinker frowned, and hummed in dissatisfaction: "We have our own discretion in how we do things, and we don't need you, an evil god, to talk to us."

"Ha...ha...hahaha..." Zhang Gao, the ghost, wanted to open his mouth to laugh, but the laughter was dry and harsh, worse than the croaking of jackdaws perched on the century-old trees around the mountain temple.

"Except for you...anyone who is close...has already sacrificed to the...belly of this Taoist Lord..."

"You guys...haven't come to my place for many days...stayed here...you said last time that you were looking for a bone picker to go to Guimo Mountain...to pick up bones for someone...this is the last time I saw you...I still miss you...Of course every time It's better to bring sacrifices every time you come... Did you help people pick up bones this time, Jie Jie..."

The bone shrinking master said in a deep voice: "Hmph, you are too much in charge, help me with something, call Boss Liu and the others to gather in the temple."

Zhang Gao, the ghost: "Sure enough, you are looking for me...and asking me to do hard work..."

The bone shrinker's voice became deeper and dissatisfied: "Are you going to do it or not?"

"I didn't say I wouldn't help... Did you... encounter something... Suddenly you are so irritable... Unlike you in the past..." Zhang Gao, the ghost ghost, can also be said to be the stone statue of the hundred-eyed Daoist Monarch curiously asked.

However, the one who responded to it was the bone shrinking master who stared coldly, Zhang Gao, the ghost, stopped talking, and quickly said: "Jie Jie... I will cast a spell right now... call for you... as long as you remember to bring me a sacrifice every time... just It's easy to say..."

Zhang Gao, the ghost, entered the temple with the stone statue of the hundred-eyed Taoist on his back, looked down at the two corpses on the ground, and stood in front of the altar and began to cast spells.

Just like killing a pig, it grabs the ankles of the corpse that has not fully ossified after death, lifts it upside down, cuts the throat and lets the blood out.

When enough blood was gathered on the ground, Zhang Gao, the ghost, threw away the corpse, and then turned his back to the blood on the ground, that is, turned the stone statue of the Hundred-eyed Taoist Lord on his back to face the blood on the ground, and began to chant obscure spells.

Following the chanting of the mantra, the stone statue's eyes shot out streaks of cold light, shining into the bloody water on the ground.

Ripples appeared in the bloody water, and several images emerged, including an old man who was practicing cultivation, a secret room with ghostly aura, a prostitute in a flower tea house, and a coffin in a cemetery...

Just when the images of these people emerged from the bloody water, these people all made the same movement at the same time, looking up as if in response.

This is the powerful Taoism of the stone statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Lord. As long as there is a relationship once, you can see it even if it is thousands of miles away, and there is nothing to hide.

In order to reduce the risk of exposure, the bone shrinkers and the others would not get together at ordinary times, and would only use the stone statue of the Hundred-Eyed Taoist Monarch to contact them when there were important matters.

However, this Dao method also consumed a lot, and it didn't last long. As the blood on the ground dried up, the Dao method also ended.

"When you... went to Guimo Mountain to pick up bones... did you meet a martial arts immortal..."

"... I heard from a few fellow Taoists in the underworld...Ghost moth mountain is not peaceful recently...a very powerful martial arts immortal came...I haven't heard this legend for a long time..."

"More than ten years ago...the battle where the masters of the divine way besieged and killed the immortals of the martial arts...I can feel the earth-shattering battle of that battle in the old temple deep in the mountains..."

On the way, the stone statue of Baiyan Daojun asked the bone shrinker curiously again.
