Mortal Bones

The crazy monk chuckled, then put the handful of soil into his arms like a baby, and then quietly said to the girl:

"You don't understand, it's delicious!"

The girl looked at the boy next to her with some unbearable eyes.

The young man rubbed the girl's head, then raised the bag of grain in his hand and said with a smile:

"You offer incense to the Bodhisattva here, and I'll cook porridge for you and the little master!"

The girl heard this and asked cautiously:

"Brother, can you put... a few dates in the porridge?"

The young man grinned and said:

"good!"

The girl clapped her hands and said happily:

“I can finally eat dates today!”

At this moment, the two of them seemed to have never experienced the danger just now, and the smiles on their faces were happy and sincere.

After seeing his brother go to the dining hall to cook porridge.

At this time, the girl carefully took the bundle behind her, took out the incense candles from the bundle, and placed them carefully on the altar.

The mad monk, who was leaning beside the girl, smiling happily, suddenly became clear and clear when he saw the girl respectfully displaying the incense and candles.

Then, he put his hands on the ground, slowly moved to the side of the altar table, picked up the worn-out wooden fish on the ground, and while tapping it, recited the scriptures devoutly, his demeanor was solemn, completely different from before. people.

For a while.

A young man who cooks in the dining room of a side house.

For the crazy monk chanting sutras at the table.

And the little girl kowtows devoutly on this old futon.

In this small ruined temple, an indescribable scene of peace and tranquility is woven.

At this moment, both Xu Taiping and Zhong Ling were watching silently, as if they were afraid of making any noise and ruining the scene in front of them.

At this time, after the girl knelt down and worshiped the Clay Bodhisattva in front of her, she suddenly put her hands together, looked at the Clay Bodhisattva in front of her with extremely pious eyes, and prayed:

"Bodhisattva in heaven, please bless my father and mother to be reborn in bliss. In the next life, they will be reincarnated into a good family and a good place. They will no longer have to live such a precarious life, being chased by monsters and wandering around."

"If possible, please tell them that my brother and I have obtained the qualifications to enter Jade Soul City under the recommendation of Uncle Qi."

"Next, Uncle Qi will help me find some men in Jade Soul City to work, and my brother will participate in the recruitment of Jade Soul City Guards."

"Father, mother, you can rest assured in heaven, my brother and I will be able to take good care of ourselves."

When she said this, the girl's eyes rolled, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment, she took a deep breath and whispered:

"Bodhisattva, there is one more thing, which is my private matter."

"Although my brother said that the monster that killed my parents and uncles in the village may not be able to deal with it even if the city lord comes."

"But if possible, I still want to know what it looks like. Even if I can't get revenge in this life, I will let my children remember its appearance in the next life, and then pay back for my parents. There are uncles in the village who want to take revenge.”

At this moment, a hand patted the girl's shoulder gently with a "pop" sound.

The girl looked back and saw that it was her brother.

The young man frowned and said with some displeasure:

"Mei, didn't I tell you? Don't think about revenge again!"

The girl said a little stubbornly:

"Brother, if we forget, wouldn't it be too pitiful for my mother and uncles in the village who are buried at the foot of the mountain?"

"Now, now we are the only ones left, and we still remember them!"

The young man's eyes heated up when he heard this, he turned his head away, then stretched out his hand to hold the young man's head and said:

"I won't forget it, but with your brother and me here, you don't have to worry about things like revenge!"

"After I enter the city guard, I will definitely find a way to join the Jade Soul Army and go to the battlefield to fight to the death with the monsters of Jiuyuan!"

When the girl heard that the boy was going to join the Jade Soul Army, her eyes suddenly showed a panicked look.

But just when she was about to say something, the crazy monk suddenly shouted:

"Smells, smells so good, smells so good!"

The two siblings turned around and saw that the crazy monk was holding the stove with both hands, trying to reach out to scoop up the hot porridge in the pot.

When the young man saw this, he immediately patted the girl on the head and said:

"Mei, let's eat porridge first."

The girl nodded "Yeah".

At this moment, Zhong Ling turned to Xu Taiping and asked:

"Taoist Master Taiping, how do you feel? If it doesn't work, I will take you to the Jiuyuan territory to have a look."

Xu Taiping withdrew his gaze from the young girl, then shook his head and said:

"If you don't want to read it, just leave it here."

Zhong Ling asked in surprise:

"It's not very, very appropriate to put the only Buddhist inheritance in Shangqing on such an inconspicuous hill, isn't it?"

Xu Taiping frowned and said:

"Although I don't know how to explain it, I just feel that the Buddhist inheritance and the Buddha statue should be placed here."

Being touched by the brother and sister was only one of the reasons why he made this decision. The most important reason was because he inexplicably felt that it would be very suitable to place the Buddha statue here.

At this moment, the brother and sister and the crazy monk were sitting under the nameless clay Bodhisattva statue, each carrying a bowl of hot gruel and a futon.

Then I saw these three people, as if they had some kind of tacit understanding.

You drink a sip, I drink a sip, I drink another sip, and we take turns drinking the porridge in the bowl.

After a round, the three suddenly looked at each other and laughed.

Although the brother and sister were pale and thin, and their clothes were worn out, the crazy monk's disabled body was so thin that only skin and bones were left.

But when they looked at each other and laughed, Xu Taiping and Zhong Ling felt a vigorous vitality that even the great monks in the Jingtian realm and above had never had.

At least at this moment.

The vitality of these three people is more vivid and powerful than all the monks in this world.

For a moment, Zhong Ling, who was originally surprised at why Xu Taiping chose this place to place the power of Buddha, suddenly understood a little.

She stared at the three people who looked at each other and laughed again, and murmured:

"Perhaps, this place is indeed the most suitable."

And at this moment, the two of them suddenly moved their hearts and looked at each other.

Then Zhong Ling frowned and said:

"A group of Nine Abyss Demon Cultivators are approaching this place."

At this moment, Xu Taiping, whose soul sensing ability was equal to Zhong Ling's, also sensed a group of demon cultivators with a number of about 300 riders approaching this hill.

And the cultivation level of the demon cultivator in the lead was at least the Demon Emperor Realm.

Xu Taiping was a little suspicious:

"Could it be that Nine Abyss has deduced the place where the power of Buddha's fate is placed in advance?"

Zhong Ling's face sank when she heard this and said:

"It is indeed very likely."

She explained:

"Among the Nine Abyss Demon Cultivators, there are many demon cultivators who are good at predicting and deducing. Several plans of the Xuanhuangtian Army over the years have been broken in this way."

Xu Taiping suddenly fell silent.

Zhong Ling glanced at the three people eating porridge under the clay Buddha statue, and then suggested to Xu Taiping:

"Master Taiping, how about we change the location?"

After thinking for a while, Xu Taiping finally shook his head and said:

"If they really have such a powerful deduction ability, we will still be discovered even if we change the location."

At this point, Xu Taiping looked at the three people in front of him, and then said solemnly:

"In this case, it is better to leave it all to the Buddha statue to decide."

"If he is willing to stay in this mountain, he will definitely not watch this mountain being destroyed by Jiuyuan."

When saying this, Xu Taiping's eyes fell on the three people again.
