no soul

(Note 1)

Lin Hong glanced at the two of them, thinking they were just talking about Yin Guang.

Lin Hong thought about what questions he still had, "By the way, what was the 'opportunity' you mentioned last night?"

"You will have catastrophe." Yin Guang said.

Lin Hong:? ? ?

Glancing at him, Lin Hong realized that he was not talking to him, but following his gaze, it was an old lady who came to worship.

The aunt was wrapped in a kerchief, her body was bloated, her face was oily, when she heard this and saw who said it, she immediately became angry-everyone who came to worship knew about Yin Guang.

"What unfavorable words are you talking about! I just worshiped the Buddha and begged him to bless you!" The aunt held the basket in her arms, her eyebrows like willow leaves were crossed, and she was about to yell.

Yin Guang was a little sad, why did he feel that everything would be fine if he asked Buddha Nan to bless him?What kind of superstition is it that you don't even need to work hard?Don't you know how to practice yourself?Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds, Buddha blesses good people.

Lin Hong got a headache when he heard him talking, why did he say this to others again, didn't he have a long memory, "Hey, don't be angry, ma'am."

The aunt looked at him, "Why don't you get angry, it's too unlucky!"

"Eh... this Master Yinguang is actually a good fortune teller. He calculated that your life is smooth, everything goes well, and your appearance is also a sign of great blessing." Lin Hong said nonsense.

Yin Guang also looked at him.

"Then what does 'big catastrophe' mean?" The aunt's attitude softened a little.

"Listen to me first, but—there may be a little bit of trouble in the near future, just like the tribulations encountered by the Buddha during his cultivation. After overcoming it, it will be smooth." Lin Hong said with difficulty.

"What is it?" The aunt obviously lost her temper and began to ask.

Lin Hong looked at Yin Guang.

Yin Guang said to the aunt, "The family runs a slaughterhouse, right?"

The aunt was shocked when she heard it, "Master, please tell me."

Yin Guang was called "Master" for the first time, and he frowned unaccustomedly, "I owe too much life."

"Then what to do," the aunt was anxious, "I also know that killing is not good, and my heart is not at ease, so I often come to pray to God and Buddha, hoping that the Buddha will bless me."

"Master, please help me, I can give you money." The aunt put her hands together and begged him.

Yin Guang shook his head, "You misunderstood, no money will be charged. But do good deeds."

After saying a few more words, Madam please leave.

Yin Guang looked at Lin Hong, "When did I tell you about her blessing?"

Lin Hong shrugged, "I am a layman, and you are an eminent monk. If you don't lie, I will lie for you."

Yin Guang's cold expression melted a little, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

"Let's go, it's time to eat, I'm hungry." Lin Hong stood up, completely forgetting that he had asked a question that had not yet been answered.

Yin Guang looked at the two of them and said, "You... don't separate."

Lin Hong:?

Wan Guchuan:?Is this monk still a matchmaker...

"The speeding ghost should be coming towards you, it is still afraid of the Buddha." Yin Guang looked at Wan Guchuan, pointed to Lin Hong, "He has a Buddha spirit on him, you don't want me to find out, so I don't know the reason, Just don't separate for now."

Wan Guchuan: Oh.

Lin Hong frowned, "What Buddha spirit? I thought it was 'blessing' when I heard it just now. I know I am blessed."

Yin Guang: "..."

"Isn't it afraid of Master Shandao?" Lin Hong asked.

Yin Guang shook his head, "Brother Shanshi is indeed pious, but he is just a mortal like me."

The two walked out of the hall.

Lin Hong looked at Wan Guchuan and teased, "Although I don't understand why, but if you hear me, follow me closely."

Wan Guchuan raised his eyebrows, "Then Lao Lin will cover me."

"It should be."

The two jokingly walked towards the dining hall.

"Fuck!" Lin Hong woke up suddenly, "He hasn't answered my 'chance' yet! And the abbot didn't ask what's going on. He just forgot when he was interrupted..."

"Ask later." Wan Guchuan said.

After lunch, they had nothing to gain this afternoon.

I couldn't find Yin Guang, and the abbot didn't come back.

I did meet Shan Dao, but I could get too few clues from him.

I can't keep pulling people to ask repeatedly: "Are you really really sure that the one you saw eating flowers was Yin Guang? Think about it again, are you really really really sure?" That would be too annoying... …

It was night, and the two returned to the house.

Throughout this afternoon, Wan Guchuan was a little absent-minded, not knowing what he was thinking.Sitting at the table at the moment, clasping the table with his slender fingers, he looked distracted.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Hong sat across from him.

Wan Guchuan looked at him and was silent for a while, "Speed ​​ghost."

"Don't worry, we should be fine together." Lin Hong actually had no idea.

"And what is the bad luck on your body? What is Buddha Qi?" Wan Guchuan asked.

He also expressed Lin Hong's worries. They already believed what Yin Guang said. What is going to happen to the bad luck?What is the reason for the Buddha Qi? Can it really prevent the speeding ghost?

Both were silent.

Lin Hong had a dream.

It was still the Ksitigarbha Palace that day, and the fire was still burning fiercely in the torrential rain.

Standing in front of the door was the tall, inhuman figure, holding a titanium fork in one hand and a human head in the other.

Lightning tore through the sky.

White light illuminated the figure.

Grim face.

The head in his hand is...

Wan Guchuan.

Booming thunder!

Lin Hong woke up suddenly, his heart beating so hard that his entire chest was shaking, and the person in the dream was lying quietly beside him facing him at this moment.

The outline is as sharp as a knife, the tall roots connect to the eyebrows, the eye sockets are deep, the eyelashes and eyebrows are thick black, and the long hair is scattered on the pillow.

In the dream, the blood-dripping head lingered.

Lin Hong looked at him and put his hand on his neck.

Under the palm, the pulse is firm and strong.

Lin Hong closed his eyes again.

It was bound to be a sleepless night.

Lin Hong was awakened by the sound of something breaking.

This time when he opened his eyes, he met a pair of deep eyes, and caught the fleeting surprise in between.

A little closer, the hand that he had attached to his neck just now was being pulled by him.

It was still night, the dim light was dim, and the handsome face in front of him was somewhat unreal.How many times have I woke up with this face in my eyes, and the visual impact is still so great.

Lin Hong looked away and rubbed his eyes unintentionally, "What happened?"

Wan Guchuan let go of his hand, and retreated a little, "I saw Yin Guang walking past the window, and then there was the sound of something breaking."

Lin Hong said, "Go and have a look."

The night outside the house was in silence, there was no sound anymore, and they couldn't tell in what direction things happened.

Lin Hong suggested: "Go to the place where the needle-mouth ghost appeared last night."

"it is good."

From far to near, the sound of chanting can be faintly heard, and the closer it is, the sound becomes clearer.

"It's Yin Guang's voice." Lin Hong whispered to Wan Guchuan.

At that time, Jinguang Dasheng!

Just behind the house in front of you, a gentle golden light blooms like a lotus flower, each petal is soft.Alone and bright in the night.

Wan Guchuan grabbed Lin Hong and hid in a place, avoiding the obstructed room in front of him and looking over.

Yin Guang was still dressed in a snow-white cassock, standing there with his palms folded, wrapped with Buddhist beads, eyes closed, and was reciting scriptures.

And opposite him was that blooming golden light.

Lying under the golden light is a needle-mouthed ghost covered in pitch black!

Yin Guang was still reciting Buddhist scriptures, and the golden light became bigger and brighter.

The Needle-Mouth Ghost stood up in the golden light, his dark skin faded away bit by bit, and his figure slowly returned to normal, becoming slender.

A handsome young man stood in the golden light, looked at Yin Guang with a smile on his face, grabbed his robe, knelt down, and worshiped Yin Guang.

"I have been used to hunger for three hundred years, and I have long forgotten what it feels like to be full."

"The Bodhisattva fed me with blood. Only then did I know that full food is sweeter than hunger. Only then did I realize that the good way is sweeter than the evil way. Today I am greatly awakened, and I thank the Bodhisattva." (Note 1)

The handsome young man paid homage again.

"Amitabha." Yin Guang clasped his hands together, and the cold expression on his face seemed to be somewhat compassionate.

The young man is freed from the realm of hungry ghosts and dissipates in the golden lotus. Where will he go in this reincarnation...

The golden light disappeared, and the surroundings were shrouded in darkness again.

Yin Guang spoke in the silence, "I saw you."

Lin Hong: "..." Damn that bad luck...

The two went out.

Lin Hong said: "Is this a success?"

"Well," said Yin Guang, "one more thing to go. There should still be a chance."

"What chance?" Lin Hong felt that he must get an answer this time.

Yin Guang said: "I made a vow that I will save one hundred and eight hungry ghosts in this life. If I don't save them all, I won't see the Tathagata."

"This is the one hundred and seventh one, and there is one more."

Lin Hong was taken aback, "Then why did you say 'opportunity'?" It seemed that he was about to lose his chance, why?

Before Yin Guang could answer, the surrounding houses suddenly caught fire!

The three were startled.

The flames wrapped them tightly!Half of the darkness dissipated immediately, and a heat wave swept in!Countless screams of pain came from all around!

Like being in hell.

Suddenly Wan Guchuan's heart rang, and he stretched out his hand to grab Lin Hong, and pulled him to the side of Yin Guang, "You follow Yin Guang."

Before Lin Hong had time to call him, Wan Guchuan's eyes froze, he drew out the long sword at his waist, and raised his hand to collide with the titanium fork that was coming from behind him!

There was a loud bang!

The ghost on the opposite side is tall and hideous.

With a twist of Wan Guchuan's wrist, the sword edge slid down the titanium fork, withdrew his strength, and moved the battlefield away.

The speeding ghost was faster and had already circled in front of him.

"Wan Gu Chuan!" Lin Hong's heartbeat rose sharply.

Yin Guang reached out and grabbed him.

The shiny sword fluttered in the light of the fire, Wan Guchuan's black clothes and black hair could still capture the real shape, but the speeding ghost was only a phantom.

Lin Hong heard the sound of the sword colliding with the titanium fork, and the slender figure in front of him was like a fleeting glimpse.

Chess meets opponent.

He didn't know how Wan Guchuan kept up with the speed of this ghost.

He had never seen such Wan Guchuan.

He forgot that this is Yan Luo, who killed and killed on the battlefield, this is Asura who has stepped over mountains of corpses and crossed rivers of blood, and can still swing his halberd without changing his face. This is the god of war who wants to create legends.

His eyes were colder than Jianmang's, and the glacier in the extreme north was also three points inferior; his body was like electricity, and his sword was like electricity.

The titanium fork can quickly become a phantom, and the long sword can still carry the flames in pursuit.

To kill groups of bandits, Wan Guchuan didn’t have too many moves. He raised his sword and fell with a leisurely expression; in the casino, the crowd with knives surrounded him, and the crossbow on the second floor was pointed at him. Such as strolling in the garden.

But, but, how can mortals compare to ghosts and gods?

This time, he met [-] enemy troops, and he was alone.

Lin Hong clenched his sleeves tightly, his eyes locked on the figure, but he said to Yin Guang who was beside him, "Didn't you say that we will be fine together?!"

Yin Guang remained silent, looking at the battlefield to press his lips into a line.

The author has something to say:

Note 1: Jiuyuanjie: a long, long time ago
