Chapter 56 The Gate of Hell

"Meet the general and this layman."

The little Taoist looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, but he is not afraid of life at all.

Lin Dong glared at him fiercely, but he had the courage to look at him.

After the little Taoist climbed out of the pile of dead people, he patted his cuffs, wiped the filth and blood on his face, behaved himself, and turned straight to Lin Dong. Luo Xingyun and the two saluted deeply.

"It's a good eye."

Luo Xingyun didn't want to make trouble, rolled his eyes and said: "Little mage, where are you practicing, where is your master?"

"Reporter, General, Xiaodao Fang Yuanjue is a Taoist priest from the nearby Baiyun Temple. This time he came out to buy rice and met bandits who were doing harm to others. He wanted to rescue the convoy and persuade them to leave, but he didn't expect to put himself in it."

The little Taoist smiled wryly.

Lin Dong couldn't help raising his eyebrows. For ordinary people, even a six-foot-tall man, when he encounters such a vicious thing, his expression will inevitably change. This little guy's words are well-founded, especially because he can tease himself, which is really impressive.

"Your name is Yuan Jue too?"

Lin Dong laughed, feeling unavoidably kind in his heart.

"Dao Dao is profound and quiet, true and always keeps the Taiqing, one Yang comes to duplicate, and the teaching is eternal and bright. This circle is a square circle, a perfect circle."

The little Taoist opened his mouth to chant, and at the same time he was showing his identity and faction.

Lin Dong didn't understand the twists and turns of people in this era, so it can't be blamed that he didn't understand the subtext of these words.

Luo Xingyun at the side immediately interjected: "It turns out that you are the Taoist leader of the Longmen Sect. However, at your age, even if you want to do something good, you should inform the teacher of your family. How can you do such a dangerous thing rashly."

Little Taoist Yuanjue was talking about the branch lineage of the Quanzhen Longmen sect, and Lin Dong understood after listening to Luo Xingyun's explanation.

It was considered a kind consolation at first, but Luo Xingyun was planning to persuade him to return to the Taoist temple, so he continued on the road with Lin Dong, but who knows, the moment he opened his mouth, the little Taoist priest's eyes turned red.

"My master, brother..."

"All dead!"

Wow, crying, Luo Xingyun was a little at a loss, and rubbed his hands together in embarrassment.

Lin Dong put his big hand on the little Taoist priest's head, and was about to say a few words of comfort.

Surprised to find - icy.

Absolutely abnormal body temperature!
The surprise in his eyes disappeared for a moment, Lin Dong smiled and rubbed his hair and said, "Big man, what's the matter with crying?"

Lin Dong glanced at the tattered Taoist robe, and his heart suddenly softened.

"What's the matter with you, can we help you?"

He said softly.

"Yuanjue..."

Luo Xingyun was about to make a noise to stop Lin Dong's outbursts, but he was caught by a fierce light, stared at him like a knife, and immediately shrank his head again.

I can't afford to offend this fierce god.

"According to the normal speed, how long can we reach Hefei? Tell the truth."

Lin Dong asked Luo Xingyun.

"Uh, more than half a day."

Luo Xingyun's throat rolled, he didn't dare to deceive Lin Dong about such a matter.

There is also a long box hanging on the horse's back. There are two knives in the wooden box, a seedling knife and a skinny beauty, and a ghost-head chop that specializes in beheading ghosts. This fierce god can't be offended, offended.

"Time is enough."

Lin Dong nodded slightly, then cast his eyes on the little Taoist, coughed, cleared his throat, and said in a much gentler voice, "Speak, child."

"Can you take me home?"

The little Taoist wiped his eyes and preached.

"But, aren't your master and brother already dead, even if you go back..."

Luo Xingyun originally thought that the child wanted to rely on them.

After all, since he became a Taoist priest, his parents must not be able to rely on him. Now if his elder brother or master died again, he would be no different from an orphan.

If this child is on a normal day, Luo Xingyun is willing to form a good relationship with the word "Quanzhen Longmen".

It is not a lie to say that a Taoist priest in troubled times went down the mountain, a country gentleman like him was born with a three-pointed approach.

It's just that, if you want to be in charge now, how can you bear the turmoil.

If the child relied on them to ask for adoption, it would be difficult. Fortunately, things did not develop as expected.

"Since the Taoist temple is here, my home is here."

The little Taoist said with a straight face, looking like a grown-up.

"How far is your home from here, if..."

Luo Xingyun wanted to say more.

"Okay! We agreed."

Lin Dong responded directly.

"Since the Taoist priest said it, the Baiyun Temple is nearby, so we don't think it will take us much time."

Lin Dong patted Luo Xingyun on the shoulder and said something more.

"Thank you General, layman."

Yuanjue Xiaodao gave another salute.

Is there any rush to deliver the letter?
Of course in a hurry.

Is it serious that Ma Xinyi changed his job?
Of course it matters.

But it's not that Lin Dong doesn't have time to deal with other things.

Besides...

"Hurry up, we cremated these corpses first, and then send you to the Taoist temple right away. Now that the evil spirits are in the world, we still have to deal with them properly."

Lin Dong started to act while talking.

He poured some more kerosene prepared by the Taiping Army on the corpse. Luo Xingyun knew that he couldn't hold back Lin Dong, and his arms couldn't turn his legs, so he rushed to help immediately.

"The poor Taoist can recite a short section of the Yankou Sutra to save them."

Taoist Yuanjue said piously.

"good."

Lin Dong nodded, and lit the torch.

"Yeah!"

Luo Xingyun almost yelled out loud, his heart suddenly thumped, bang bang bang, his heart was beating fast, he opened his mouth to say something, when the torch fell on the kerosene, igniting the whole pile of corpses with a bang.

And Lin Dong directly waved his hand, grabbed Luo Xingyun's shoulder, and whispered: "I know it all, you don't need to mention it."

Luo Xingyun swallowed a mouthful of saliva, looked at Lin Dong in horror, and wanted to make gestures with his hands, but under the gaze of those unblinking eyes, he swallowed back the words.

"You really know?" Luo Xingyun whispered close to Lin Dong's ear.

Lin Dong had a half-smile on his face, and asked, "Otherwise?"

Luo Xingyun didn't dare to say anything at that moment, but when he thought of the pretty little face he saw in the pile of dead people just now, he secretly looked at the little Taoist priest who closed his eyes and chanted sutras, and couldn't help but shudder.

"If you don't want to go, you can wait for me here, well, anyway, you are fine, just build a grave for these people."

Lin Dong dispatched Luo Xingyun.

Luo Xingyun rolled his eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "That's not okay. We are together, even if we encounter any troubles, we can help each other. Ahem, I'm a little scared here alone."

"Qinghua Hierarch, Taiyi Merciful Venerable... Daqian Ganlumen, attracting the souls of the dead..."

With his eyes closed, he followed the little Taoist priest and murmured a few words, Lin Dong cupped his hands towards the pile of corpses in the flames, as a courtesy.

In the light of the flames, Lin Dong seemed to have seen many dead souls returning their salutes to him.

After finishing a good deed, Lin Dong said happily, "Let's go, Xiao Daoist."

"Shut up, General, let Xiaodao recite a few more lines of this "Complete Collection of Quan Zhen Ji Lian Sazu Tin Pot Food Offering Sutra"..."

The little Taoist said calmly.

"Row."

Lin Dong nodded and waited for him for a while before the three of them set off.

The little Taoist said it was close, but it was not far, "Cross this street, and you will see Baiyun Temple behind you." The little Taoist Yuanjue pointed forward and said slowly.

At this moment, it was just before noon.

When the sun is at its strongest, there is an old saying that before noon, ghosts throw money, and at noon, ghosts kill chickens.

In many villages, at noon, when people's popularity is weakest, some old ghosts and ghosts will come out to wander around.

It's just a coincidence that when Lin Dong and the others arrived, the street was full of ghosts and shadows.

"Ahem, Daoist, why don't we send you here?"

Luo Xingyun said in astonishment.

He raised his head and looked at the gray tiled buildings on both sides of the street that could not be seen at a glance. There were stalls under every house, occupying the compacted loess street area.

At the end of the straight street is a gray mist that can cover the eyes.

On a hot day, the fog fell at the end of the street like a thick and indissoluble gray cloud.

Normal people know that there is a big problem here.

What's more obvious is that - in front of Lin Dong and Luo Xingyun, there is a wooden sign with the words engraved on the iron ruler and silver hook - the gate of hell!
