Folk custom: At the beginning of the wedding, the bride takes off her painted skin

Li Daoxuan's ears were still stuffed with cotton, so he didn't hear what he said.

In the end, it was Zhou Yaya who relayed it to him.

"Okay, go do your thing first."

Li Daoxuan was not afraid either. He spoke casually and even looked around, trying to find a chair in the side room.

But after looking around, I found that there was only a cushion under the ghost who was beating the wooden fish, and there was no other place to sit.

But he couldn't just ask them to leave, so he could only sit on the ground.

This ghost with a Buddha on his head turned around and continued to recite scriptures after hearing Li Daoxuan's words.

Zhou Yaya stood behind Li Daoxuan at this time.

For a moment, the only sounds in the side room of the main hall were the thumping of wooden fish and the chanting of scriptures.

The sound kept echoing in this dim room, which seemed a little weird.

However, Li Daoxuan could not hear anything because he had blocked his ears with cotton wool. He could only see the Buddha's head shaking continuously.

Compared to the fighting outside, it seems quiet in here.

Li Daoxuan also took advantage of this opportunity and relied on the boiling blood and energy in his body.

This lasted about a cup of tea.

Li Daoxuan didn't hear any sound, but saw the Buddha's head turning around.

When he saw this, he knew that the scripture had probably been recited to the end.

He raised his hand and took out the cotton wool from his ears, and this time he really didn't hear the annoying sound of knocking the wooden fish anymore.

The wooden fish ghost who was chanting scriptures while beating the wooden fish put down the wooden fish in his hand, then put his hands together and bowed to Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya, chanting Buddhist names.

"Amitabha, good, good, good."

As he looked up, the corners of the Buddha's mouth curled up again, revealing a smile, "Welcome to the Zunfo Hall."

Li Daoxuan was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master, may I ask if there is anything special about this Xuankong Temple?"

"Particularity? Life is full of particularity." The wooden fish ghost laughed.

This wooden fish ghost started to make a witty remark, which made the reckless Li Daoxuan a little annoyed.

He wanted to draw his sword again.

Zhou Yaya then asked, "Why did the ghost we met at this door disappear?"

"Do you want to kill it?" asked the wooden fish ghost who was sitting cross-legged.

The room fell silent, and Li Daoxuan even put his hand on the handle of the butcher knife.

He looked like he was ready to draw his sword if he disagreed with something.

"It wants to kill us."

Li Daoxuan answered seriously.

After hearing this, the wooden fish ghost lowered his head and chanted the Buddhist name, "Amitabha."

"Please be merciful and do not kill any living beings in this Xuankong Temple. This way you can live longer. Good, good, good."

After the wooden fish ghost finished speaking, he looked up, and the Buddha head on his head smiled again. While pulling the corners of his mouth, the smile seemed... sarcastic.

Li Daoxuan didn't know if it was his illusion, but when he saw the expression of the wooden fish ghost, he also laughed.

Then he said slowly:

"Don't kill, and hatred will never end."

Zhou Yaya, who was standing by, heard this and turned around, facing him with her bleeding neck. She didn't seem to expect that Li Daoxuan could say this.

"The ghosts outside are trying to kill me. Are they allowed to kill me but not me?"

The wooden fish ghost then said, "They don't have the ability to kill the donor. When they see that they can't kill the donor, they will naturally give up. The donor naturally understands this."

Li Daoxuan listened and sneered, and Zhou Yaya's voice rang in his mind.

"No matter if they are humans or ghosts, all Buddhists have this virtue. Some monks in the middle nine worlds even feed ghosts with their own bodies."

"If you can't reason with them, they are just a bunch of lunatics."

Li Daoxuan replied "I know", and then continued to say to the wooden fish ghost in front of him: "As I said before, if you don't kill, the hatred will never end."

"If you keep on talking nonsense, old monk, I will chop you to pieces too!" After saying that, Li Daoxuan took out the butcher knife from his waist... no, to be precise, it should be the coffin nail.

When the wooden fish ghost saw this, he did not dodge or avoid it, and there was no fear in his eyes.

It raised its head and looked at Li Daoxuan. "There are tens of thousands of ghosts in this Xuankong Temple. Even if you kill this poor monk, what's the point?"

"There are so many ghosts in this temple?" Zhou Yaya asked in surprise.

Judging from the route the two have traveled so far, there are indeed many ghosts in the Xuankong Temple, but in fact... it's just that.

After passing through this Buddha hall, you will reach the Main Hall, and then the monks' rooms on the left and right.

There are no more scripture-repository, firewood room, and kitchen at the back. Even though there are many ghosts at the back, there should only be about a hundred of them.

But the ghost in front of me actually said there were... thousands and millions?

The wooden fish ghost raised one hand, "Monastic ghosts do not tell lies."

"You actually know that you are a ghost." Li Daoxuan sneered, but that was all. It was rare to meet a ghost with whom he could communicate normally, so he should take this opportunity to find out some information.

Zhou Yaya was still waiting for an answer.

The wooden fish ghost also said again: "There must be quite a few grain eaters who came in with you two. Haven't you ever thought about where they are going?"

Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya had already discussed this when they first entered the door.

Now the wooden fish ghost asked the answer again.

Zhou Yaya also quickly replied: "Master, what do you mean... a den of ghosts?"

The wooden fish ghost clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and then slowly said: "To be precise, it should be a folded ghost den."

“You are here, and they are here too.”

"You can't see them, and they can't see you, but you and they are both here."

What the wooden fish ghost said is a bit confusing.

But Li Daoxuan and Zhou Yaya also understood.

Folded ghost cave... Li Daoxuan’s understanding is folded multiple spaces?
Everyone has come here, but now they are separated from each other, so it seems that this is the only possibility left.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously looked up and looked around.

I don't know what kind of strength is needed to break through this folding ghost cave?

Or in other words, how can we meet?

But when he looked up, he found that the side room, which he could still see a little bit, seemed to be swallowed by darkness and slowly disappeared...

Weird, it appeared again!

The wooden fish ghost also said again: "The break in the morning class is over, and now it's time for the afternoon class."

"I would like to give you two some advice."

"Master, please speak." Zhou Yaya said hurriedly.

The wooden fish ghost had already picked up its wooden fish, "First, after passing this Buddha Hall, do not enter the Great Hall, otherwise with your strength, you will die miserably."

When he said this, he also looked at Li Daoxuan carefully.

"You will, too."

Li Daoxuan would not be so stupid as to jump out and argue at this time, but listened carefully, "Secondly, the abbot will not attack you, and if you really encounter a situation where you are defeated, you can go find him, and he will save you, but there is only one chance."

"Third... let's go."

Li Daoxuan had also noticed long ago that the darkness was rapidly engulfing the entire side room.

"go!"

Without saying a word, he led Zhou Yaya out of the side room and returned to the previous Buddhist hall.

But at this moment, he felt that what he jumped into was not... a Buddhist temple.

But in a pool of lake water.

Do not!
This is not lake water!
This is blood!
The entire Buddhist hall was filled with blood. It was the ghost that the two had met outside the temple before.

Attack again! (End of this chapter)
