Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 160 The Monk's Decision

temple.

In a small temple, sandalwood is lingering, and the sound of wooden fish is unhurried.

A woman in a white skirt ran into the temple panting, as if there was something urgent.

"Guanhu, you're back...then that onmyoji has already left Qinghe town?"

The monk who was sitting in front of the Buddha knocking on the wooden fish did not turn his head, his eyes were still closed, and his voice was not loud when he spoke, as if he was talking to himself.

"Master, you guessed right, that Onmyoji has already left."

The woman in the white dress gasped slightly.

This woman in a white dress was transformed from the white fox that the monk sent to monitor Chen Beibei.

"Since he left, I had no choice but to go."

"Where is the master going?"

"Qinghe Town, stop those ghosts from entering..."

The candlelight in front of the Buddha flickered gently, and the light shining on the monk's face was bright and dark.

"Then... what about it?"

A woman in a white dress points to a Buddha statue and asks a monk.

"Guanhu, the night is extremely dark today. The ghosts hovering around Qinghe Town have been waiting for this day. Once they enter Qinghe Town, it will be difficult to get them out."

"But if he breaks through the seal, it will be very troublesome."

The woman in white walked up to the monk, then knelt down, and continued: "Our task is to maintain the power of the seal and prevent him from escaping. This has been the case for generations, and the ancestors have fulfilled their duties It has been nearly 1000 years now. Does the master want to be negligent at this time?"

The monk still knocked on the wooden fish unhurriedly, without showing a trace of anxiety.

Don't be surprised, everything is empty.

It seemed that nothing could really disturb the wooden fish in his hand.

"Guanhu, stop talking about it. It has already been sealed. As for when it will break through the seal, no one can be sure. Now that the people in Qinghe Town are in dire straits, do you want me to sit idly by?"

The monk slowly stopped knocking on the wooden fish, and there was a little excitement in his tone.

The woman in the white dress looked worried: "Master, I'm still a little worried..."

"If that's the case, then you can stay here. You still keep an eye on the seal and don't let it escape, and I will go to Qinghe Town to protect the residents of Qinghe Town. Is that okay?"

After the monk finished speaking, he got up and left the temple, blending into the dark night.

And the woman in the white dress stared intently at the Buddha statue in front of her.

The Buddha statue, which was originally made of wood, seemed to show a strange smile at a certain moment.

"No way? The master has left now, don't make any problems..."

The woman in the white dress prayed in a low voice.

……

early morning.

The air in Sanquan Village is very good, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan got up very early.

The two walked around together, looking at familiar places.

"Chen Beibei, something seems to have happened in Luoying City..."

When Chen Yan picked up the phone, he suddenly said it, making Chen Beibei a little unresponsive.

"What happened?"

"There's more than one dead person, and there seems to be more than one. Chen Beibei, look at the chat records in the group..."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Beibei and said to him.

Chen Beibei took out his mobile phone, and clicked on the Luoying City chat group.A lot of news came out, mixed with many pictures.

The black night sky, the flowing river, dark corners, amidst the bustling crowds, some translucent figures are everywhere.

Chen Beibei was too familiar with this kind of figure.

After all, Chen Beibei had seen many of them before, and those translucent spirit bodies were undoubtedly ghosts.

However, ordinary people can't see ghosts, let alone take pictures of them with their mobile phones, so Chen Beibei still has some doubts.

"These pictures are not fake, are they?"

Chen Beibei asked in the Luoying City chat group. Although Chen Beibei knew it was not very good to ask, in order to get an answer, Chen Beibei asked directly.

"You may not be in Luoying City, how can people in Luoying City still ask if the picture is fake?"

"Yeah, yeah, even those photos with translucent silhouettes look fake. But what about the photos of the accident scene? Are the bright red blood and dead people fake too?"

Apparently, some people in the Luoying City chat group were angry at Chen Beibei's questioning.

That's understandable, though, if they're suffering.

"Chen Yan, it seems that something may have happened in Luoying City."

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said slowly.

Chen Yan let out a long sigh of relief: "That's right, something happened just after we left Luoying City. It's really dangerous."

But on Chen Yan's face, there was no sign of being happy for having escaped this catastrophe.

On the contrary, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan are both very worried now.

After all, they have lived in Qinghe Town for so long, and they are very familiar with Luoying City. It is indeed worth worrying that such a thing happened in a familiar place.

But this time I really remembered that monk.

The night before he left, the monk who appeared at his home.

The monk told Chen Beibei something that he had never thought about, but now it seems that the monk did not lie to Chen Beibei.

Although something happened in Luoying City now, something must have happened in Qinghe Town, which is so close to Luoying City.

"Chen Yan, how about...I'll go back and have a look."

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.

At that time, the monk asked Chen Beibei not to leave Qinghe town, saying that once he left, the town would be invaded by those ghosts, Chen Beibei didn't believe it at all.

Because in his opinion, many ghosts actually have the same kind thoughts as humans.

Moreover, Chen Beibei really had a bad impression of that monk.

"Go to Qinghe Town?"

Chen Yan asked.

"Yeah, if Qinghe town is invaded by ghosts, I might be able to help if I go there."

"Wouldn't it be dangerous to go there now?"

"I have some talismans, as well as Snow Girl and Guhuo Bird. They can protect me, so there should be no problem."

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you finally come back for a new year, so don't go there. It should be enough to have me and the shikigami."

Obviously Chen Beibei didn't intend to let Chen Yan go with him.

After all, the situation in Qinghe Town is still unclear. How many ghosts are there, and how powerful are those ghosts?
They don't know anything about these Chen Beibeis, so going to Qinghe Town now is still very risky.

Chen Beibei has shikigami to protect him, and he also has various talismans exchanged from the system, so he has no problem dealing with ordinary ghosts.

Chen Yan is different, she is just an ordinary girl.

If you encounter evil ghosts, you may not have the ability to resist.

So Chen Beibei would not let Chen Yan go no matter what.

"Chen Yan, just wait for us here. I will rush back after I finish dealing with the matter over there."

Chen Beibei looked at Chen Yan and said to her.

Chen Yan nodded: "Okay, I will listen to you this time."

Chen Beibei never expected that Chen Yan could hear his words so easily.

After all, Chen Yan in the past was mischievous and mischievous, and never listened to himself.

"Okay, if that's the case, then let's go to your house as soon as possible, so that I can take all the monsters there."

"Well, then let's go."

Soon, Chen Beibei and Chen Yan returned to Chen Yan's home.

The monsters are also playing in the room.

In Sanquan Village, monsters can only play in Chen Yan's house and cannot go out, lest they be seen by others.

This was the rule Chen Beibei set for them, and they all followed it seriously.

"Snow Girl, Guhuo Bird, Yingcao, Tubi, Nightmare-eating Tapir, come back to Qinghe Town with me."

"Master, what's the matter?"

Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

"Ghosts in Qinghe town have invaded, I want to help them..."

"Is that so? Follow the master's orders!"

Firefly said seriously.

"Master, why is there no my name? Don't you need me to go with you?"

Zashiki Doji asked aggrievedly.

Xiaoluo's bride lay on the Zashiki boy's palm, and looked at Chen Beibei with wide eyes, with a look of grievance on her face: "There's me, there's me! Big brother, you forgot about me too..."

"Zashiki Doji, Xiaoluo, you two are not fighting monsters, so it's better not to go. After all, the current Qinghe town may be very dangerous."

Chen Beibei patted Zashiki-douji's head and said softly.

Zashiki Doji had suffered too much during her lifetime, and Chen Beibei was unwilling, and she was still fighting for herself now.

What's more, Zashiki Doji doesn't have much fighting power.

The main function of Zashiki Doji is to make people around him luckier and richer.

Such a monster should stay in a relatively peaceful environment.

"Master, what about me?"

Xiaoluo Bride continued to ask.

"You, don't you like staying with Zashiki Ware the most? So you should stay too, and have a good time with Zashiki Ware for a few days. We will be back soon."

"Okay, master..."

Xiaoluo Bride replied.

After Chen Beibei arranged for Zashiki Boy and Xiaoluo's bride, he said goodbye to his family and left Sanquan Village with the Shikigami.

I never thought that I would leave so hastily.

After all, it had only been a day since Chen Beibei returned to Sanquan Village.

But anyway, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown.

……

Qinghe Town!

A monk in a red cassock walks along the river in the small town of Qinghe.

The monk's eyes were fixed on the clear water, and in the river, there were faint reflections of people everywhere.

"The spiritual energy revives, and a hundred ghosts come to court. It's really a rare spectacle in a hundred years."

The monk raised his head, there was not a single ray of light in the dark night sky.

The black figure covering the sky and the sun has completely covered up the moon and the stars.

But the river water can still be seen very clearly, and even the stones at the bottom of the river can be seen through the clear water.

As if the whole river itself, with a faint light.

"Umibozu, come out!"

The monk slowly flowing the river, said lightly.

Then, a fat fish-head monster appeared in the middle of the river.

"I'll leave the east side to you."

"Ah."

After the monk finished speaking, he didn't stay, but went to the back mountain of Qinghe Town.

The back mountain of Qinghe town is the place where the dead are buried.

In the middle of the night, no one usually goes there.

Especially this kind, weird night, there is no light at all.

The two small towns of Qinghe fell into a kind of dead silence.

The monk just walked slowly, without a lantern or candle in his hand.

The illuminated thing is a red lantern ghost floating in mid-air.

Or something that guides the way. After all, the monk doesn't seem to need to look at the road under his feet, but keeps walking with his eyes on the front.

In the middle of the night, if someone walks into the forest, some sensitive birds will usually be frightened and make a cry.

But, not this night.

Not only are there no birds chirping, there is not even the barking of dogs in the alleys.

After the monk came to the back mountain of Qinghe town, he walked around the back mountain of Qinghe town, chanting something all the time.

Finally, came under a maple tree.

The maple trees in winter have withered to only the trunk and branches.

The monk gently stroked the trunk of the maple tree with his hands, the branches of the maple tree shook slightly, and then fiery red maple leaves grew out.

"Do not touch me!"

A woman's voice sounded, with a hint of displeasure.

"Hongye, I will leave the west to you."

"Yes!"

The monk did not stay as before, but left immediately.

This time the monk headed towards the south of Qinghe town, and the southernmost part of Qinghe town was the peach grove.

Soon the monk came to the peach forest.

The monk came to a clearing, then squatted down, and dug up the ground with a stick, as if looking for something that had been buried.

The red lantern ghost quietly floats in the air, illuminating the monk.

I don't know how long it took.

The lantern ghost's flame suddenly brightened up, but it returned to normal immediately.

The whole night was still silent.A large hole has been dug in the open space.

The monk brought out a coffin from the hole.

It was originally just a flat ground, not like a tomb at all, but a coffin was dug out by a monk.

It was as if the monk knew from the beginning that the coffin was down there.

The lantern ghost's firelight shone on the coffin, and it could be seen that the coffin was not big, it should not be that of an adult.

The monk opened the coffin.

Inside lay a man with a purple complexion, or a boy to be more accurate, because the boy in the coffin was only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

The monk said some incomprehensible mantras to the boy.

Then, the child's eyes opened.

"Brother Tiaotiao, the south is in your hands..."

"Well!"
