The ghosts of the good-for-nothing miko

After talking for a while, Yu Sen nodded, appeased the monk, and then left him in the guest room for another night.

When the monk entered the guest room, Lin Yiyi stretched out his hand to form a seal, covering the room. The blue light immediately enveloped the entire room, then slowly shrank and entered the monk's body.

And that monk seemed to have dreamed of some terrible nightmare.

His face was pale, and a red light erupted from his body, about to fight against the blue light.

Lin Yi muttered words and formed seals again, then suppressed the red light bit by bit.

Bai Zexuan stepped forward and wiped the sweat from her forehead:

"It's just a residual evil spirit. It's already so powerful."

After listening to Yu Sen's detailed explanation, I realized that this monk passed through various mountains, from east to west, starting at sunrise and ending at sunset. He had to walk on his own legs for three years before the experience was over. .

According to what he said, one month ago, he stepped into a misty mountain. Such a place is not uncommon. Usually it is because the mountain is high and the water vapor condenses into fog. As long as the sun shines, By the time we reach noon, we’ll be able to take a walk...

However, that place was very strange. The monk walked until sunset, and the fog was still very thick, and he could only see clearly two or three meters in front of him.

He didn't pay much attention at first, he just wanted to find a farmhouse to stay overnight and leave the next day. After all, the place he just passed through had a lot of mountains and fields, so there must be people living here.

So he started walking towards where Yamada was, and it was at this time that the accident happened.

It only took ten minutes, but the place was already completely black, and in the firelight, there was the shrill sound of a baby crying.

The monk was compassionate, pushed away the fire, and headed towards the crying baby. He kept chanting Amitabha in his mouth, hoping that the baby would persevere.

But when he came to the center of the disaster area and stood in a field, he realized that this was a circle of scorched circles spreading outward. Not to mention plants here, not a single ear of wheat was left, let alone a baby. …

The monk was wondering, and it was chilly on his head. He looked up and saw that there was a huge monster crying on top of his head. The monster was huge, with an animal body and human appearance, and its eyes were under the armpits. It was blinking at him. .

This frightened the monk half to death, but he was an enlightened ascetic and had great concentration in his heart. He immediately sat cross-legged and chanted sutras...

He didn't know if this scripture had any effect, but the monster circled three times above his head and finally flew away.

The monk continued on his way. He wanted to follow the monster and recite scriptures, but his feet could not match the speed of the monster.

So along the way, all we saw was a devastation of life. The people had finally exhausted the fields, fruits, and even the fish and shrimp in the river that were about to be harvested.

The monk felt sad and continued on his way. Unexpectedly, he encountered the resting monster. At this time, he had suppressed his fear, raised the wooden branch on the side, and wanted to go and deal with the monster.

He believed that this was a test given to him by Buddha.

Without hesitation, the wooden branch hit the monster. Of course, there was no reaction at all. Instead, it seemed to be tickling the monster. It unconsciously scratched its neck from left to right, tilted its head, and asked the monk to change positions and hit him~

The monk was stunned for a moment, then put down the branch and started chanting the sutra.

The holy words of Buddha are really useful.

The monster was so suffocated by the noise that it raised its claws, its eyes under its armpits suddenly opened, and the monk immediately fainted.

When I woke up again, there were no monsters around, and even the fog had completely dispersed.

The monk drove the road again and found that there was only a barren mountain, and even the trees were sparse and half-dead, with only a few lonely leaves left.

How could there be mountains and fertile fields in a place like this?

There are no fertile fields, no farmhouses, no rivers, and no monsters with eyes under their arms.

It all seemed like a dream, but the reality was horrifying. The monk suddenly felt a stinging pain in his palms. When he lowered his head, he saw that his palms were covered with raised red marks...

This is?

If everything was a dream, would the scratches left by my hard work against that monster still be so clear?

He couldn't figure it out for a long time, but he could only continue to practice asceticism. However, every time he went to a temple, he would always stay one night to talk to the abbot inside, but no matter how many times he asked, he could not answer his doubts.

I just thought he was having a dream because he was tired from traveling.

The strangest thing is that he started to have headaches and became more and more resistant to the temple, as if he would feel weak if he approached it.

This symptom is getting more and more serious, which is a very heavy blow to a practitioner.

But he was unwilling to give up and continued walking, and then he came to the entrance of Sanyuan Hall.

As soon as he knocked on the door, a steel nail seemed to be hammered into his head, making him unable to stand upright in pain. Just then, Yu Sen came back from outside and gave him a hand. The monk suddenly felt refreshed.

So I pulled Yu Sen and told the whole story.

Speaking of this, Bai Zexuan nodded:

"No wonder he, a mortal, can make the bell ring. The main reason is because of the evil spirit of gluttony in him. And it is this evil spirit that prevents the monk from getting close to the temple and suffering from headaches. I'm afraid if he hadn't met Yu Sen today, He can’t come in either.”

"Then this monk really saw Taotie and is still alive. He is really lucky."

"The master is right, he is lucky enough, but Taotie is famous for his cruelty. If he didn't eat the monk at that time, I'm afraid it's not that he didn't want to, but that he simply couldn't do it."

"Can't do it?"

Bai Zexuan nodded:

"Monsters can enter the human world, but in fact people can also enter the demon world. Even if they don't have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth like the master, there is still a way to enter. "Wandering" is rare, but it is not without precedent. Human beings The stories in ancient books are actually more or less true."

"But this time we encountered a Taotie, and its escape from the Endless Tower will definitely bring disaster to the party. This matter is really serious."

After saying that, Lin opened the door to the guest room one by one, looked at the monk's condition, and immediately covered his mouth. He pointed at the monk and asked Bai Zexuan and Yu Sen to see it.

I saw that the monk's originally restrained red light was now condensed into a red, glutton-like patch, entrenched on half of the monk's face, and the red patch...

Still stretching!
