Being fooled by fierce beasts to travel through the beginning is fleeing famine

Chapter 256 The Demonic Monk (Please subscribe and vote monthly)
After hearing Qingyan's words, Chou Chou directly sent his spiritual consciousness to Lingguang Temple in Pingyuan County.

Although it doesn't know much about birth dates and horoscopes, it has heard that some ghosts have grown to a certain level and will attack people with special fates.

The so-called special fate can be seen through the birth date and horoscope.

If there is something wrong with Lingguang Temple itself, it can explain why so many children have died but there is no ghost spirit.

Even if the child's soul is pure and it is not easy to be resentful, the basic ghost energy still needs to be there. Even if it dissipates or the soul returns to the underworld, it will take time. This is something that happened recently, and it cannot be traced away so quickly.

If these were all done by the monks from beginning to end, then there would be nothing impossible. They could send the souls away, or they could use magic weapons to imprison them.

Soon, Chou Chou made a discovery, and he sent a message to Qingyan: "Guess what I found in Lingguang Temple? There is an underground altar there!"

Qingyan: "Isn't it the same old ghost from Qinian Village who did it?"

Chou Chou: "No, it's not a cemetery, and there are no monsters or old ghosts in it. It's just a man-made altar. It's not that old, just a few decades, and it's incomparable to how long the Lingguang Temple has been around.

The Lingguang Temple should have been built during the Tang Dynasty. It has much more heritage than the Qingyuan Temple. However, there are some problems with the monks inside, especially the abbot. The altar is under the abbot's Zen room. "

Upon hearing this, Qingyan felt even less sleepy and asked curiously: "What's the problem? Is it a demon monk?"

He secretly made an altar. It couldn't possibly be an enemy's spies to collect information. It must be some mysterious and mysterious thing.

Chou Chou: "It's true, that abbot is a half-demon."

Qingyan: "Half-demon!"

Is it the kind she understands?That is really a demon monk worthy of the name.

"Yes, he is a half-demon born from the union of a human and a demon, but his demon bloodline is already very rare. He is probably not the first generation. I don't know how many generations later he is.

Even so, he still has the unique habits of the demon clan in his body, and he likes to eat people.

Just like humans like to eat animals, humans are also the best blood food for the demon clan, and they can even extract energy from it. "

Qingyan was silent for a while and then said: "The abbot took out the hearts and minds of those children? Just for food?"

Chou Chou: "Not only that, after those children were buried, the bodies were secretly dug up by the so-called eminent monk. There were several fresh children's skeletons in the altar, which are probably those children."

Qingyan couldn't help but take a breath, she didn't even spare the corpse.

Then she asked with some confusion: "Then why didn't you just take those children away from the beginning? The families of those children who just disappeared can still be found. What does it mean to deliberately leave the bodies missing their hearts and livers?"

Chou Chou: "We need to check this. It is said that half-demon can eat people without having to do all these chores. They can just eat them directly. There must be some other purpose behind all this trouble. I'll take a closer look."

Qingyan: "Then keep an eye on it, but it's best not to let it harm others. If possible, just kill it before it harms others."

No matter what, she still felt that human life was at stake, and no matter whether the cause could be found out or not, she could not let other children suffer again.

Chou Chou nodded, "I know, now that I have discovered it, I will definitely not give it another chance to do anything."

Although it cannot rely on merit to cultivate, it does not exclude doing good deeds. This has no impact on it, but it is good for Qingyan.

With meritorious deeds, the world will welcome her more, and her luck will get better and better.

Qingyan asked curiously: "What is the demonic form of that half-demon?"

Chou Chou: "It's the Moon Night Wolf, a type of wolf that lives here. It should have been cultivated into a human form by fate, and then it combined with humans to have offspring."

Qingyan: "Then do you think the Moonlight Wolf Demon is still there? Could it be that the altar was built to resurrect the ancestors again?"

Chou Chou: "It doesn't seem like the altar was used for resurrection, because there is nothing about the wolf demon in it. To resurrect, even if there is no corpse, there should be a soul body.

The altar seemed to be used for refining something, but there was nothing seen there, so it must have been put away.

Let's wait and see if it will come to use the altar, and we will probably know by then. "

Qingyan nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. We estimate that we will stay here for two more days. If nothing is discovered during this period, we can go directly to Pingyuan County. We have to go there anyway."

Now that he knows that the problem lies in Lingguang Temple, Chou Chou no longer needs to pay attention to Shanggang Village, and can just put his spiritual consciousness in Lingguang Temple.

Chou Chou: "Okay, I will watch. You go to sleep first. I will tell you if there is any situation."

Although Qingyan still didn't feel sleepy at this time, after all, she had just learned such a big secret, but it was not good to go to bed too late, lest she would not be able to get up tomorrow morning. It was not good to get up too late at someone else's house.

I closed my eyes and turned over to find a comfortable position, counting sheep and forcing myself to fall asleep.

Not to mention, this method was really effective for her, and she fell asleep in a short while.

The next morning, she was woken up by having money licked her. When she opened her eyes, she saw this guy holding her hand on the pillow and licking it.

He stretched out his hand and brushed the thick soft fur on its body, then looked up in the direction of the door. The doors and windows were over there. You could tell at a glance whether it was bright or not outside.

It was already a bit bright outside, and you could tell without looking at the watch that it was probably seven or eight o'clock. There was no sound outside, and Zhang Mancang and his wife probably hadn't gotten up yet.

She was too lazy to stand up, so she turned over and continued lying down with the money in her arms, preparing to wait for them to get up before she got up with them.

"Chou Chou, are there any new discoveries over there?"

I couldn’t sleep anyway, so I just chatted with Chou Chou.

Chou Chou: "No, no one entered the underground altar at night. The abbot has been meditating in his meditation room. He looks like he is practicing."

Qingyan complained to Chou Chou: "It seems that Buddhism in this world is not very good. Such an evil half-demon is in the temple, right under the nose of the Buddha, and has not been discovered."

Chou Chou laughed out loud when she said this, "Buddhism was very popular during the Tang Dynasty. Although it was a foreign sect, there were still some eminent monks who had attained enlightenment at that time. After entering the troubled times, many capable Buddhists disappeared without knowing it. Are they focusing on cultivation, or are they simply not wanting to be involved in dynasty changes and avoiding the world? Anyway, most of the ones left are those who deceive the world and steal their reputation, without any real ability, just to defraud money.

Anyway, many people burn incense and pray to Buddha just to seek peace of mind. Sometimes what doesn't work is just a psychological effect, and not many people really investigate it, so many temples still exist and are still full of incense. "

Qingyan: "Then it's widely spread here that the monks of Lingguang Temple exorcised ghosts from the magistrate's house. Could it be that they directed and performed it themselves?"

Chou Chou: "I don't know about that. I can't see anything at the magistrate's house now. It means there are no clues. I can only go there and take a look."

Having said that, Chou Chou also felt that Qingyan's statement was quite possible.

The demon monk of Lingguang Temple may be trying to establish a good relationship with the new county magistrate. Even the county magistrate admires him. Lingguang Temple's foothold in Pingyuan County will be more stable, and it will be more convenient to do what he wants to do.

Therefore, there is a high probability that the play was directed and acted by oneself and was presented to the county magistrate, as well as to the people of Pingyuan County.

And once something happens next, or if everyone encounters any unnatural phenomenon, the first thing that comes to mind will be to seek help from Lingguang Temple.

As for the murderer who did these things, he would not think of Lingguang Temple.

This is people's inherent thinking. Most of them will not think that the person who saves them is the person who harms them.

Of course, there are conspiracy theorists, but they are still very few.

After all, if there is a conspiracy theory, it must be profitable for the other party. And whether the monks of Lingguang Temple help people exorcise ghosts or perform rituals, they don't charge money when they come to Shanggang Village. Have a vegetarian meal at the villagers’ homes and let them entertain you.

If someone like this comes to help you almost free of charge, would you think that they are the ones who harmed you?No, so this is also their best protective color.

Qingyan actually thinks so too. It doesn't matter whether she says it or not. They are not judges anyway, so they don't have to ask for any evidence, so as long as they think like this, they can be more careful when the time comes.

As for telling the county magistrate or the people in the county, it is actually completely unnecessary.

It's not that they want to help the tyrant do evil, help cover it, but what they want is that as long as they find that he is doing evil, no matter whether other reasons can be found out, they will just kill him.

As long as the monks from Lingguang Temple who participated in the evil deeds were dealt with quietly, it would be better than telling the world and publicly executing them.

People still need to have faith, especially ordinary people living at the bottom. Because their lives are difficult, they most like to place their spirit on faith.

If these crimes are made public and let them know that the monks in these temples are all evil-doers, then they will lose their trust in the gods and Buddhas of the temples.

Before a new belief emerges, these people will be at a loss as to what to do and will despair when encountering something.

Having no spiritual sustenance is not a good thing for them, and will also greatly reduce the prestige of Pingyuan County Magistrate in the eyes of the people.

At least according to what Zhang Mancang and the others said, the county magistrate was considered a good official and not a corrupt official. It was better not to torment such an official away.

As for giving justice to those children or people who died, how can I put it, the dead are dead, and the dead cannot be resurrected.

Don't call her cold-blooded. People still have to look forward while they are still alive. If they get rid of the culprits, it can be regarded as avenging them. Even if the evil deeds are made public, so what?Not only will they not be able to survive, they will also receive no compensation from their families.

Since those people have already concluded that their children died in the hands of ghosts, which is actually correct. There is not much difference between dying in the hands of half-demon and ghosts, so just let them continue to think so.

In addition, the so-called eminent monk came up with a "solution" for them, and he would definitely not do anything to them again. This gave them hope in their hearts, and their lives would only be more stable in the future.

When the rooster crows outside and the cave house next door rustles, Zhang Mancang and his wife must have gotten up.

Qingyan looked at Zhang Chunhua, mother and son, who were still sleeping soundly. She stood up as gently as possible, put on the clothes on top of the quilt, and got off the bed with Youyouqian in her arms.

Now there is no residual warmth on the kang. After all, no one got up to burn it in the middle of the night, and the fire in the stove below has long been extinguished.

However, it's not cold inside the cave, it should still be around ten degrees Celsius. The sealing of this cave is quite good.

He opened the door softly, quickly came out and closed the door behind him. Then he shuddered and stared at the scene outside with his eyes wide open.

She was just chatting with Chou Chou and didn't put her consciousness outside, so she didn't know that it was snowing outside again.

She looked at Meng Mengliang before, probably because of the reflection of the snow, so it should have been earlier than she expected, so Zhang Mancang and his wife didn't get up.

And even now, the sun doesn't look like it's about to be born. It's probably only seven or eight o'clock now, because the snow outside makes it look much brighter than usual.

At this time, the door of the cave dwelling next door was also opened, and Zhang Mancang and Sister Zhang walked out of it.

At a glance, he saw Qingyan standing at the door and hurriedly whispered: "Sister, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's still early now. Just wait until I finish making breakfast and call you. It's very cold outside. Go back to the house quickly." .”

Then I saw the scene outside, "Yeah, it's snowing again. I saw it was quite bright outside, and I thought it was getting late. But I didn't expect it was snowing again. It's getting colder day by day. .”

Qingyan took a few steps forward, walked up to them and said, "I went to bed early yesterday, but now I can't sleep. Will Brother Zhang have breakfast before going to work in the town?"

"Yeah, it's just the right time to go after breakfast."

Zhang Mancang nodded and said, he usually goes to town in the morning after breakfast with his wife and children. There is no use if he goes too early. Very few people come to the carpenter's shop early in the morning.

He went to catch up on the work he had taken on before, and he couldn't go too early. The master slept in the shop. Going too early would disturb his rest.

Qingyan continued: "We happened to be driving to the car at that moment, and I happened to be going to buy some things. If I can make a sleigh board today, I might be able to try it out on the carriage when I come back. "

When Zhang Mancang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Yes!No matter how good the words are, no matter how exquisite the drawings are, you still have to give it a try to know if it works.

It just happened to snow today, and it hasn't stopped yet, and there are still snowflakes floating. From the looks of it, it should continue to snow for a while. The snow will definitely get thicker in the evening, so it's a good time to try it.

If it was possible, he would also make a sled that would slide on his feet, so that he would not have to step on the snow with one foot deep and one shallow while going out.
