Don't follow the rules

Chapter 63 Four-way Bus (21)

"Little devil?" Chunyu frowned, "You are all... infant spirits?"

The little coal ball snorted and said, "Who do you care about us? Either get out of here quickly, or wait for the master to come and obediently lead us to death."

Chunyu didn't take the threat from the kittens to heart. After all, neither the kittens nor the physical Buddha posed any threat to him. Now he was just following the rules by hiding from the physical Buddha.

But what deserves his attention is that there are so many infant spirits hidden in this small temple?Not to mention those who were hiding and did not show up, there must be at least twenty or thirty of them nibbling on shoelaces at his feet.

But isn't this the Siling Temple of the Four Immortals?How could there be a baby spirit?

He glanced in the direction of the Four Souls Hall.

Could it be that the Buddha incarnate body was originally enshrined here, but was driven out by the Snake Immortal and others who usurped the shrine and offerings?
If this is the case, then this temple may once have been a place specifically used to purify and save infant spirits, but it was occupied by doves and the original owner was left rolling on the ground.

"Don't be in a daze!" Little Coal Ball shouted loudly, "Hurry up and get out! Did you hear that?"

Chunyu wanted to rub the fierce little briquette's cat head in a funny way, but unexpectedly it was stabbed back.He looked at his blackened fingers and said in surprise: "There is actually an evil infant spirit?"

Evil baby spirits are rarely enshrined with ordinary baby spirits. They have deep grievances and are likely to accidentally injure other baby spirits. Just as he was about to confirm it again, he heard a voice not far away:
"Meow - help!"

He turned his head and found that water ghosts crawled into the courtyard at some time, and they melted silently into the mist in the air. When the kitten and himself relaxed their vigilance, he reached out and grabbed a cat on the edge.

The kittens obviously knew how powerful the water ghost was, and they all ran away in fear.

Weak infant spirits are an excellent tonic for wandering ghosts, so there are wild ghosts wandering around the temples dedicated to infant spirits all year round, and this place is of course no exception.

Chunyu Zi would not let these water ghosts harm innocent infant spirits, so he immediately responded: "Suoyi!"

The dense fog where the water ghost was hiding was crushed immediately, it fell down, and was forced to let go of the kitten in its hand, but then it got into another water vapor and disappeared.

Chunyu picked up the frightened kitten and rubbed its head to comfort it.Looking around, I found that the water mist was much denser than before. It seemed that without the physical Buddha, the water ghosts had secretly invaded on a large scale.

……

Outside the gate of Siling Temple, Rao Qian was pacing back and forth holding a flower, plucking the petals and chanting: "Go in, don't go in, go in, don't go in, go in..."

But before he finished counting the flower, he discovered that dewdrops were visibly condensed on the remaining petals.

Rao Qian was startled, and quickly raised his head to look around, only to see clusters of thick fog in the mountains, like a sea of ​​clouds rolling, mixed with all kinds of noisy water sounds, sweeping towards this small Siling Temple.

At this moment, Rao Qian was in a dilemma between the mountain and the temple.He tried to call the headquarters, but found that the smart watch that was fine just now showed that the network was disconnected.

Rao Qian looked at the half flower in his hand, fighting fiercely in his heart...

"You have a scheduled reminder."

Suddenly, the disconnected watch rang a voice broadcast.

"Commander Rao Ying approved senior agent Rao Qian to enter the Siling Temple for emergency escape."

Before it finished broadcasting, Rao Qian had already followed the instructions and quickly entered the gate of Siling Temple.

As soon as he closed the door, the water ghost's hand came out of the churning fog and climbed up to where he was standing.

A close call.

Rao Qian threw away the flowers in his hand, raised his watch to check, and found that his aunt only set this timer reminder and did not give any other explanation.

"She really likes to do things like this." He smiled helplessly.

"The next step is to find Captain Chunyu and hug his thighs... What is this?" Rao Qian was quite shocked, because what he saw in front of him was not the small temple he saw outside the wall, but a burning lantern. of Buddhist temple.

"Palace of Rebirth?" He looked up at the plaque, "Isn't it Siling Temple?"

Walking into the hall, Rao Qian was surprised to find that neither statues nor tablets were enshrined here. The tall shrines were filled with densely packed small pottery figurines, roughly hundreds of them.

They seem to be kneaded and baked from yellow mud. Although the workmanship is very rough, they are all made into smiling faces. Some are standing and playing, some are sitting and lying down, with different expressions and vivid expressions.

There is a small name tag in front of the little pottery people, which records the information of these little pottery people during their lifetime.

Rao Qian looked at them one by one and found that most of the famous brands only recorded the year of death.

"It's the baby spirit..." His throat tightened a bit.

This is because they died before they were born, so there are only children in the death year.

Rao Qian looked all the way along the shrine, and inadvertently tripped over his foot and almost fell.He looked at his feet and found that there was also a little pottery figure under the shrine.

"Did it fall?" He squatted down, picked it up, and examined it carefully under the light of the ever-burning lamp.

This is a black pottery man, his hands and feet are tied tightly with straw ropes, and even his eyes are covered with cloth strips.

There is no name tag in front of it, and Rao Qian did not see its empty seat on the shrine.And hold it in your hand, you will feel cold after a while.

Rao Qian turned it over, only to find blood on its back.Rao Qian hurriedly looked at his hands. Fortunately, the blood should be old blood stains, and it was not stained on his hands.

He wiped it lightly, revealing a name under the blood: Zhaodi.

The ever-burning lamp flickered gently, and the room was filled with shadows, and the pottery people seemed a little unreal.

Rao Qian looked at the door and window. He was very sure that there was no draft.

"Are you an evil spirit? Child." He asked softly.

……

Under the patio of Siling Temple.

"Damn it." Chunyu smashed a water ghost with one palm, but the remaining limbs quickly melted into the mist and reassembled.

"It's impossible to kill them all."

Not only could they not kill them all, but the water mist that passed over the wall continued to bring a large number of invading water ghosts.

In fact, Chunyu really wanted to summon a thunderbolt to kill the group of water ghosts directly with AOE, but the baby spirits were far more fragile than the water ghosts, and a little carelessness might knock them out of their wits, so he could only attack one by one. He didn't even dare to use the fire wall technique.

The water ghosts continued to join the carnival, and Chunyu could only do his best to protect the kittens running around.In addition, the kitten itself did not trust Chunyu, which made his protection work even more difficult.

"Meow!" In a corner that Chunyu couldn't care about, the water ghost successfully caught the little orange cat running around.

"Oranges! Let go of the oranges!" The little briquette yelled. It rushed to bite the water ghost's heel, but was easily caught by the water ghost.

The water ghost caught two cats at once and was ready to leave the temple with satisfaction, and then find a quiet place to enjoy it alone.

Chunyu witnessed this scene and wanted to go to the rescue but was unable to do anything.

There were too many kittens running around here. If they didn't get together, he wouldn't be able to protect them by himself.

Just when he was at his wit's end, there was a violent knock on the door of the Four Immortals Hall behind him.

·【Water ghosts are afraid of Buddha statues】

·[Water ghosts will not enter the Four Immortals Hall]

By the way, how could I forget the body Buddha.

He ran to the door of the Four Immortals Hall, pulled out the branch stuck on the door knocker, and opened the door in one go.

Chunyu leaned behind the doorpost to avoid the front of the physical Buddha, and shouted loudly toward the door: "Master, I will leave this courtyard to you, I will go find Xiaoju and the others!" After that, he jumped up and chased the kidnapped little bird. The cat's water ghost is gone.

The physical Buddha was still blocked in the Four Immortals Hall by the threshold, and could only emit soft Buddha light from the open door, burning the arrogant water ghosts until they howled and hurriedly retreated from the front line.The kittens were bathed in the Buddha's light and gradually calmed down from their anxious state.
