Dream Journey from Shaolin

Chapter 116: Visiting Lanruo Temple at Night

"Little monk, here are your beef noodles!"

The waiter impatiently threw a bowl of beef noodles in front of Jiang Ming, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled back by Jiang Ming,
"Xiao Er, what I want is not beef noodles!"

"What, you mean I made a mistake for you?"

The waiter angrily pulled out the short knife pinned to his lap, and stuck it on the table where Jiang Ming was, with a vicious look on his face.

At the same time, the shopkeeper who settled the accounts over there also pulled out a machete from under the counter and shouted loudly:

"What's going on? Who dares to make trouble, I'll hack him to death, is it you, little monk! Your meal and room expenses are doubled!"

Jiang Ming couldn't help raising his brows, he pulled out the short knife that the waiter inserted into the table, twisted it lightly, and instantly twisted the short knife into a twisted shape,

"You are limited to serve my food and wine within fifteen minutes, otherwise you will end up with this knife!"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Hurry up and take the noodles away, and hurry up and bring up the wine and food that our guest officer ordered!"

The shopkeeper saw that Jiang Ming twisted the dagger into twists with bare hands, and knew that he had encountered a master, so he immediately put away the machete and confessed, the waiter also changed his face immediately, and took the noodles away while bowing and apologizing.
Businessmen in troubled times have the most winking eyes. When they should be ruthless, they can be ruthless, even to the point of inhumanity. In this troubled world, most of the well-behaved businessmen are already dead.
Jiang Ming threw the twisted short knife casually, and didn't pursue anything further. The world of A Chinese Ghost Story is like this, there is no need to worry too much, otherwise you may have to kill more than half of the people in the county to relieve your anger.
Because in this world, there are still very few normal people with kind hearts!

After eating and drinking,
Jiang Ming walked away from the inn, intending to wander around Guobei County and inquire about the situation of Lanruo Temple. Before leaving the inn, he faintly heard the innkeeper murmur,
"Where did the wine and meat monk come from? Could it be a fake monk!"

A fake monk is really a real one. Although Jiang Ming shaved his head and wore monk robes, he looks like a monk on the outside, and he has been out of the house twice in a serious manner, but in his heart, he has never admitted that he is a real monk. ,
As Jiang Ming, who received nine years of compulsory education and grew up in modern society, it is absolutely impossible for him to believe in gods and Buddhas wholeheartedly.

In Jiang Ming's view, gods, Buddhas, and immortals are just more powerful living beings than the current self, but they are not beliefs.

The reason why he became a monk and became a monk was not because he believed in Buddhism, but because he wanted to gain more power and survive. If he was really a Buddhist follower, then he would not have joined Xuanmu Sect.

So the shopkeeper said that he is a fake monk is right, Jiang Ming is not a real monk in his heart!

In the evening, Jiang Ming sat cross-legged on the bed in the inn room, and quickly made a seal with his hands:

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

A shadow clone exactly like Jiang Ming appeared in front of Jiang Ming, and then the shadow clone continued to form a Yin seal, and used the transformation technique to transform himself into a scholar,
The scholar-like shadow clone nodded to Jiang Ming, jumped out of the paper window, and landed on the extremely deserted street that was already under curfew.

The shadow clone, Jiang Ming, stood in the middle of the street, turned his head to look around, moved his feet, and rushed towards the direction of Lanruo Temple that he had inquired about in the county during the day.

That's right, Jiang Ming is going to visit tonight, this so-called Lanruo Temple, to find out what level the ghosts and monsters in this world are probably,
After all, he will stay in this world for a year, during which time he will inevitably have to deal with ghosts and monsters, so the first time he comes to this world, he has to feel their bottoms, which can be regarded as seeing his current state. Strength roughly refers to where you are in this world,
Of course, in order to avoid overturning the car, he did not let the main body go to take the risk himself, but used a shadow clone, and also specially used the transformation technique to change the appearance of the shadow clone, so as to prevent the tree demon grandma from recognizing him later. ,
The shadow clone, Jiang Ming, left the county town and galloped all the way towards Lanruo Temple. After passing a forest and kicking to death a few wild wolves who dared to sneak up on him, he finally saw a dilapidated piece of wood on a forest trail. huge stele,

He walked slowly into the stone tablet, only to see the three characters Dou Da engraved on the stone tablet - Lanruo Temple!
But at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up, blowing up the fallen leaves all over the ground, and there was even a strange laughter from the tower forest next to it,

Jiang Ming hastily turned his head and looked towards the tower forest. It turned out that it was not a ghost or ghost, but an owl standing on the top of the tower forest, hooting towards him.

To be honest, Jiang Ming's hands are now covered with blood, and he has killed quite a few people, but he still feels a little uncomfortable with this ghostly atmosphere.

This is mainly due to a psychological shadow when he was a child in his previous life. I remember that he was a seven-year-old young lady, because his parents were busy with work, he was once sent to his cousin's house for two days.

His cousin is a person who loves to watch horror movies. At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now. Everyone went to the video store to buy discs when watching movies. If they couldn’t afford it, they rented discs and then went home. Use a VCD player to connect to TV to watch,
It was that year, when he was still seven years old, he watched the first real horror movie in his life, "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" from Hong Kong. Since then, Jiang Ming has left a deep shadow, so that When he was in his 30s, he didn't watch any other horror movies, and he still remembers the plot of that movie, and the ghost hand floating in the river at the end,
At the same time, he is also fortunate that his illusory system did not throw him into the world of any horror movie from the very beginning, otherwise he would probably give himself a cool song for the first experience in the dream world.
It is also thanks to the fact that he chose to go to the battlefield with Li Shimin to hone his training in the world of Shaolin Temple. In countless bloody battles and among the sea of ​​corpses, his courage was greatly sharpened, and he was only slightly uncomfortable facing the current situation. It will not affect his combat ability,

Passing over the steles, scattered porcelain altars, and gravel and weeds all over the ground, slowly approaching the dilapidated temple behind the stele,
Due to long-term unoccupied people, only half of the gate of the temple remained, so Jiang Ming walked directly into the temple without pushing the door.
The dark and dim ancient temple, the dilapidated Raksha Buddha statue with hideous face, and the spider webs that can be seen everywhere form a strange and inexplicable picture under the moonlight.
