I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

"Tell me, where did you hide the man?" The man's three-thousand-crow hair was scattered behind him, blowing in the wind.The eyes are red, like magma that is calm on the surface but can swallow everything, faintly revealing the mood of the master at this time.

Just now, Xiaohezi who was standing in front of him suddenly disappeared, and he didn't notice the abnormality a little earlier, which is a great shame to Gu Gu.

But Gu Gu was terrified that he couldn't feel Xiao Hezi's breath, and even the relic, who had a deep connection with him, didn't have a weak response.This is a situation that has never happened before, as if Xiaohezi is no longer in this world and will never come back.

Realizing this possibility, Gu Gu felt a panic in his heart, no, it is impossible, no way, how could Xiao Hezi disappear in a good way, yes, he must have been tricked by the old monk in this temple, he will definitely find him back.

The old monk who was strangled by his neck with one hand said with difficulty, "I, I don't know."

Two people suddenly disappeared in the hall, and the old monk naturally found out.Before he could figure it out, this person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, strangled his neck, and forced him to ask him about the whereabouts of Ji's benefactor, how could he know.

"People disappear in the hall. You brought him to the hall. How dare you deny it. If you don't come here quickly, I will break your bones one by one, making your life worse than death!"

"I really don't know. I just traveled to this temple to make an order. I don't know the secrets of the temple." The old monk felt that he was wronged, and he was just a passerby.

Bone narrowed his eyes, apparently not believing him.Holding his neck with one hand and lifting him up, watching his face turn from red to purple, like a giant dragon that has lost its treasure, he couldn't listen to the slightest explanation, "Hand him over."

"I... really don't..."

Suddenly, Bones paused, as if sensing something, and let go of his hand, the old monk fell to the ground with a snap, rolled his eyes, and passed out.Although he was fainted by fright, but fortunately, at least his life was saved.

Bones looked up at the sky, a light spot appeared there, and then the light spot became bigger and bigger, and turned into a human figure and fell down.

Even though he was shrouded in light and couldn't see his appearance clearly, his bones knew that it was his little Hezi.He stretched out his arms and embraced the man, his arms were like strong chains, tightening little by little, as if he wanted to integrate him into his own flesh and blood, his heart was filled with the joy of regaining what had been lost.His treasure returned to his side again.

The light dissipated, revealing Ji Zihe's exquisite face. His chest was undulating hugely, like a fish out of water, and his temple hair was hanging wet on his face.He was so tired, his eyelids seemed to be heavy, and he couldn't open them for a long time.

No wonder Master Kujue said that only a strong-willed person can escape by using a spell. It is really too painful. If he evaluates it, it must be the most terrifying punishment.Every time he chanted a mantra, the pressure on his body would increase. Ji Zihe felt that his flesh and blood were squeezed into pieces, and then put together again.He thought about giving up chanting the mantra several times. Master Kujue said that as long as he gave up, he could end the pain, but he was unwilling to give up. Outside, Bones was still waiting for him. If he disappeared, Bones would be so anxious!

Ji Zihe was really hurt by being strangled. He wanted to reach out to pat Gu Gu's shoulder to comfort him, but he couldn't lift his arm, so he had to settle for the next best thing, and patted his arm, "It hurts."

Bones seemed to be frightened, and quickly let go of him.Ji Zihe's legs went limp and he couldn't stand still, Bones quickly supported him, and said nervously, "Where did you go just now, I thought..."

Thought I lost you.

When Ji Zihe opened his eyes, he bumped into Bones' pupils with complex emotions. Whether it was joy or fear, those eyes were filled with only him.It's like a calm swamp, people fall into it without knowing it, and can't climb out again.

The golden light of soul flew out from Ji Zihe's robe, like a sky full of stars, beautiful and holy.Under such a beautiful scenery, Ji Zihe only saw the bones in his eyes, no matter how beautiful the scenery was, it was not half as beautiful as the person in front of him.How can the firefly compete with the sun and the moon, others can only be set off by the beautiful scenery, but the beauty of the bones can make the beautiful scenery beautiful because of him.

Time seemed to be stopped at this moment, and Ji Zihe heard his heart beating, not very fast, one after another, the sound was sonorous and powerful, and every beat lingered in Ji Zihe's ears.He knew that at this moment, that heart was beating for the man in front of him.

Ji Zihe smiled, "Sorry for keeping you waiting, I'm back."

"Actually, it didn't take long." Bone said a little uncomfortable. Just now, he reacted too much.

"what?"

"I said you didn't disappear for long, just a few words."

Ji Zihe was taken aback, could it be that the time inside the Wuling Wall is out of sync with the time outside the wall.Then if he studied there for a few more years, wouldn't he make a lot of money when he came out.

But after thinking about it, Ji Zihe dismissed the idea.Wulingbi is not a good place, there is a banshee waiting for him to bring human flesh in there.After finally coming out, he should stop thinking about it and live a good life, wouldn't he?

"Master, you suddenly disappeared just now, you really scared me." Huang Jiulang boldly came over.

"I'm fine now." Ji Zihe looked at him and said.

"That's good, you don't know, when you were away just now, Bones..." After Ji Zihe disappeared, Gu Gu became a different person, really scared the fox to death. ...

Bone suddenly turned his head and gave him a warning look.Immediately, Huang Jiulang's back turned cold, like a prey locked by a big devil, his heart was beating extremely fast, but his face turned pale.He wanted to escape, but he was afraid that the hunter would grab his throat if he moved, so that his whole body was as stiff as if he was nailed in place.

"What happened to the bones?"

"He, he, he is worried about you." Huang Jiulang stammered.Boss, don't worry, he will definitely not talk nonsense.The monk on the ground fell by himself, he didn't know anything!

Bones looked away in satisfaction, and Huang Jiulang let out a sigh of relief.It's too scary, he's just a little fox, why should he bear so much pressure, it's so difficult for a fox to live.

"I'm just afraid that you will be lost. You are so weak, what will you do if you are eaten by monsters without me?" Bones looked nonchalant, and he didn't know what to think of. He pretended to be angry and asked ferociously, " Don't bother me, just say, where did you go just now?"

Ji Zihe was not afraid of his bluff at all, but he still gave a brief account of what he saw and heard in Wuling Wall.

At the end, Ji Zihe couldn't help sighing, looked at the painted wall and said, "Master Kujue said that this wall was built by the previous dynasty. I thought it was only a few hundred years ago, but who would have thought about the time outside the wall?" There is such a big time difference from the time inside the wall, I really can’t imagine how long they stayed in the Wuling Wall. How much courage is needed to endure this loneliness and keep this persistence.”

"Then the lights that radiated from your clothes just now are the ghosts of those people who were made into Biki?" Bones asked.

"Yes, they all left the Wuling Wall, but Master Kujue and those eminent monks did not leave. The Wuling Wall is a prison. They say that if the Wuling Wall is not empty, they will not enter reincarnation."

"Amitabha, good, good. I've been in this temple for so long, but I didn't realize that this painting wall has such an origin." The old monk who fainted on the ground didn't know when he woke up, and he didn't know how long he had been listening. Suddenly said.

Bones stared at the old monk for an instant. The old monk pretended to be quite similar, but he didn't even notice when he woke up.He started to fight Xiao Jiujiu in his heart, what should he do if this guy complains to Xiao Hezi, what should he do to kill him before he speaks...

But fortunately, the old monk didn't mention why he fainted, but calmly said, "The benefactor is worried about how to solve this matter of painting the wall?"

"Yes, master. I promised Master Kujue that I would tell others about the danger of this wall painting, but I'm afraid this method may not be useful."

First of all, people might not believe it, even if Ji Zihe put up a sign here, it would be of no use.Even if you believe it, there are always good people who face difficulties and go ahead. It’s better if you don’t tell him. The more you tell him about the danger, the more he will try.

Not everyone can get out of the wall on their own like Ji Zihe. Presumably the reason why there is no one in this temple is also affected by the painted wall.Just imagine, how could there be incense in a temple where pilgrims always disappear without reason, and how could monks stay without incense.After all, hundreds of years have passed, and even the country has been updated. How many people will know the story about the painted wall, and naturally no one will stick to it anymore.

"Amitabha, I am not talented, I would like to do my part for this." said the old monk.

"Master wants to stay?"

"The old monk will stay for a while, lest someone stray into the wall and be unable to come out. Previously, the old monk traveled around and met many eminent monks who have attained the Tao. The old monk will send a letter to them, asking them to recommend a host to come here. Until now There is a new abbot in the temple, and I will leave to continue traveling." The old monk clasped his hands together and said.

"Then thank you, master." Ji Zihe thanked, and passed the mantra that Master Kujue told him to the old monk, and told him the way to save people.

It was getting dark quickly, and there were many empty rooms in the temple. Ji Zihe's whole body was sore, as if he had moved bricks and stones for a day, and fell asleep without eating a few bites.

At midnight, Ji Zihe suddenly felt very comfortable, his whole body was warm, like a trickle flowing into his limbs, washing away his fatigue of the day.He opened his eyes, and saw small bright lights floating from nowhere, entering his body one after another and disappearing.

"Hey, bone, is this merit?" Ji Zihe sat up and asked in surprise.

"You forgot, you didn't rescue those ghosts from Wulingbi before. Those things that they did before and after death are so pleasing to the gods, each of them has great merit, and their souls are all shining with gold. You helped them so much. Do me a favor, won't God give you some merit?" Gu Gu said while lying on his side, propping his head on his arms.

"Then why didn't I shine? I remember the last time I got merit, the time before my college entrance examination, I was wrapped into a ball of light."

"It may be that these ghosts did not go to the underworld immediately after they came out. Some went early and some went late, so all the merits came in at once. The amount was not large enough, so there was no vision."

"So that's the case." Ji Zihe nodded, as expected that time was a special case.

With the merits entering his body, Ji Zihe felt that his waist was no longer sore, his legs were no longer hurting, his head was refreshed, and his condition couldn't be better.Then... I couldn't fall asleep.

If you can't sleep, there's no point in lying on the bed. Ji Zihe just got up and read a book for a while, and then it was dawn.Stay up late for a while, dawn crematorium.

When he left the temple the next day, Ji Zihe was like a wilted cabbage, dozing off like a chicken pecking rice.However, the back of a donkey is really not a good place to doze off. Ji Zihe cried and swore secretly that if he stayed up all night, he would be a dog!
