Mortal Bones

Evening.

Because it was the fourth time to come back, everything went very smoothly, from finding the demon spies in the temple, to repairing the magic circle, to seeing the birth of the Buddha child.

Of course, everything Xu Taiping did was almost a miracle in the eyes of the monks such as the abbot Huiming.

Every monk looked at him with piety and awe.

"Lord Tianhufa, I asked my disciples to prepare vegetarian food. If you don't mind, you can go to the dining hall with me."

After naming the Buddha child, Xu Taiping and the abbot Huiming left the courtyard together and prepared to go to the dining hall for dinner.

Last time, Xu Taiping wanted to know the situation of the demons outside, so he accepted the invitation of the abbot Huiming.

But tonight, he had to go back with Sister Lingyue and Daogui to discuss how to take on the axe of the Heavenly Wolf King in two days, so he didn't plan to go.

"Abbot Huiming, tonight I..."

"Dharma protector, if you haven't eaten, come eat with us!"

At this time, the father of the Buddhist, the honest farmer, rubbed his hands and walked out of the yard.

"No need..."

"The old monk's soup is bland, nothing delicious. I made a pot of chicken soup and stewed meat for my wife, all delicious."

Before Xu Taiping finished speaking, the man pulled him aside and whispered in his ear.

"Come on, come on, come on, let's go into the house, the dishes are ready!"

Without giving Xu Taiping a chance to refuse, the man pulled Xu Taiping into the house.

"Abbot Huiming, you go back first."

Xu Taiping looked back at Huiming helplessly.

"This..."

Looking at the Heavenly Protector who was pulled into the house, Abbot Huiming wanted to go forward and invite him again at first, but just as he took a step, his heart skipped a beat and he said:

"Wait a minute, although this couple is the parents of the Buddha, if they were just ordinary village women and men, the Heavenly Protector would certainly not be so polite. Could it be that they are also the reincarnations of great monks?!"

The more Abbot Huiming thought about it, the more frightened he became.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

"Amitabha, good, good, fortunately, I have never neglected this couple."

The sweaty Abbot Huiming took up his sleeve to wipe the sweat, and then walked back briskly.

...

"Little Protector, eat meat, eat meat quickly."

In the meditation room where the parents of the Buddha were.

The man smiled and put a piece of meat that was as big as a palm and greasy and bright red into Xu Taiping's bowl.

"Little guardian, I see you've been absent-minded, but what's wrong with you?"

The village woman who was feeding the little Buddha looked at Xu Taiping with some distress in her eyes.

"No, no."

Xu Taiping was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head at the two of them.

He was just thinking about the details of the battle with the Wolf King in two days, and he was a little distracted.

"Well, this meat is stewed so fragrant."

He picked up the meat in the bowl and took a big bite. The big meat that had been stewed for a long time was very tender and not greasy at all.

"Then eat more, after all, it's the pig raised in the temple, it's free, hehe..."

The man smiled and picked up another piece for Xu Taiping.

Unlike Zhenwutian, the monks in Youyuntian, especially the martial monks, can eat meat, so pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks are also raised in Pilu Temple.

"Little guardian, I see you are not too old. If you can't deal with those demons, don't force yourself. There are those monks, and they are more in number!"

Perhaps as a mother for the first time, the village woman's mind is much more delicate than that of a man.

Xu Taiping, who was eating, was stunned after hearing this. Apart from the brothers and sisters of Qifeng, this was the first outsider who cared about whether he was tired.

To be honest, before hearing this question, Xu Taiping didn't feel tired.

But for some reason, the woman's words seemed to open a gate in his heart. The fatigue of dying four times and running around for five or six days instantly invaded his whole body.

Xu Taiping took the wine gourd of dragon gall wine and drank a sip.

The pain that burned his soul made his fatigue dissipate all at once and he was completely awake.

For some reason, after releasing this fatigue, he always felt that his body was much lighter.

"Sister, I didn't force it."

Xu Taiping smiled at the woman again.

This time, there was no trace of fatigue in his smile.

"Ye Lai is a Buddhist child. When he grows up, he can save countless people from the suffering of being slaughtered by demons."

He then glanced at the child in the woman's arms.

"I don't want him to be a Buddhist child!"

The woman curled her lips.

"What do you know, woman? A Buddhist child is the reincarnation of Buddha. When he grows up, he can bring honor to the family!"

The man rolled his eyes at the woman.

"You are the only one who knows? I feel sorry for our Wangcai. Look how tired the little guardian is after working all day!"

The woman glared back at the man.

While eating, Xu Taiping happily watched the two quarreling. There was no matter of dealing with the Heavenly Wolf King in his mind.

"However, if Wangcai is really so promising in the future and is willing to go out to exorcise demons like the little guardian, I won't stop him."

At the end of the quarrel, the woman shook Ye Lai, who was already sleeping soundly in her arms, and sighed.

"Sister, aren't you worried about the danger?"

Xu Taiping, who had already eaten four large bowls of rice, asked the woman curiously while enjoying the last of the gravy.

"People can't be so selfish."

The woman looked at Ye Lai in her arms lovingly, then raised her head and looked at Xu Taiping with a look full of resentment:

"We country folks have suffered so much. My father, my brother, and my little sister who is only one month old were all eaten by demons. The big men in the city don't care about our lives. Want to catch demons? You need money! If we are prosperous and can kill demons in the future as the old monk said, I won't let him charge a penny!"
