The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 442 Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva

"This is the main hall."

Leading Pei Wende straight all the way into the hall, the girl who didn't say much all the way pointed to the dark Buddha statue in front of her, and said indifferently.

"Burn a stick of incense for the Bodhisattva, and then you can find a place to sleep by yourself..."

"Just remember not to go to those rooms where people live."

After saying this sentence, the girl quietly left the hall without waiting for Pei Wende to react.

"A room where someone lives? A Bodhisattva?"

Watching the departure of the mysterious girl, until Pei Wende focused his gaze on the giant Buddha in the hall.

Only then did I understand why the other party kept saying that the emphasis was on "burning incense sticks for Bodhisattvas" instead of "burning incense sticks for Buddhas".

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?!"

Looking up, Pei Wende was shocked to find that the one enshrined in the center of the hall was not the Buddha Sakyamuni, but a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on a lotus throne with a Zen staff in his left hand and a wish-fulfilling jewel in his right hand.

"Mountain temples, headless Wei Tuo, and now there is another Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva..."

Pei Wende was unable to complain about what he had seen and heard along the way.

Judging from the current situation, anyone who dares to say that this temple is a normal temple will be in a hurry with anyone.

"Is it because I'm afraid I don't know there's a problem here?"

However, complaining about it, Pei Wende still followed the girl's instructions, honestly took out a few sticks of incense from the desk, and planned to light them for Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Although everything here is unspeakably weird, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is real.

As one of the four major Bodhisattvas often enshrined in Buddhism, although few people specifically enshrine Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the main hall, it is not a demon or heretic.

"Don't blame Bodhisattva, this disciple is only here to find traces of evil spirits, and didn't intend to disturb you."

He bowed respectfully to the statue of Ksitigarbha in the main hall. Pei Wende did not believe in the so-called "gods and Buddhas", but this did not prevent him from respecting this Bodhisattva who had made the great wish of "swearing that the hell is not empty and you will not become a Buddha".

"If you really have a spirit, then bless the disciple to find the trace of the Demon Buddha as soon as possible, so as to prevent him from harming other people in the temple!"

"Dan Chenzi?"

The lantern like a will-o'-the-wisp swayed in the dark night, and the girl who was walking towards the backyard didn't pay attention to Pei Wende's low moans.

"I think I've heard the name before?"

Muttering with a dazed expression, the girl was not sure if her feeling was wrong, because this was not the first time she had a similar situation.

"elder sister?"

Just when the girl walked to a certain room in the backyard, an immature child's voice suddenly came from the room, and a huge black shadow could be vaguely seen flashing past.

"True clean? You haven't slept yet?"

Hearing the call from inside the house, the girl came back from her trance in an instant, with a majestic look on her brows.

"Sister... I'm hungry..."

Obviously very afraid of the girl getting angry, but after a short silence, the child's voice in the room said in a crying tone.

"I'm so hungry... Sister, I want to eat!"

Hearing this, the majesty on the girl's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a wordless sadness.

"Zhenjing, you are a good boy, stick to it all night!"

"Sister will find you something to eat tomorrow."

Without saying anything more, the girl quickly walked towards the deeper courtyard after briefly comforting Zhenjing in the house.

Because she knew that Zhenjing's hunger was not a special case, and there were other hungry children in the other room.

It's just because Zhenjing is too young, and her patience is not as strong as other people, that's why she stopped herself in the middle of the night.

"Sister, where have you been?"

Walking towards her house step by step, the girl looked at the quiet and dark room along the way, and felt a faint sadness in her heart.

You must know that it was not a girl who was taking care of these children at the beginning, but a real adult woman who was taking care of the children in the temple.

It's a pity that after the "big sister" disappeared inexplicably, the girl who was also a member of the "taken care of" had to shoulder the burden of taking care of these children.

This is also the reason why the girl was the first to go to check when she heard someone was outside the mountain gate.

Because the children in this temple, except for the girl, don't have the ability to take care of themselves, let alone communicate with outsiders.

"Eldest sister... have you abandoned us?"

When the girl pushed away the room that once belonged to the "big sister", the crystal tears could no longer hold back and slid down the corners of her eyes.

No one knew how much psychological pressure the yellow and thin girl in front of her was under to appease the children living in the temple one by one.

The girl only knows that she is close to her limit, and she will soon be unable to hold on.

"elder sister……"

As if aware of the girl's sadness, childish voices were heard from the rooms she passed by before.

"Sister, don't leave me behind!"

"Sister, I'm not hungry anymore!"

"Sister, do you intend to be like the elder sister?"

"Sister, I will be obedient, don't abandon me!"

"elder sister……"

Although those voices were of different ages and genders, they begged this girl not to abandon them without exception.

For these children who have been abandoned once, there is nothing more hopeless than being abandoned again.

"Shut up! Big sister won't abandon us, and eldest sister certainly hasn't abandoned us either!"

Just when the complicated voice overwhelmed the girl, a slightly younger voice suddenly shouted, suppressing all the pleading for a while.

"Everyone go back to sleep honestly!"

Listening to the boy's voice echoing in the corridor with tears all over her face, the girl immediately wiped away her tears and said as if she had received some comfort.

"It's all about brother, the eldest sister will come back sooner or later, and I will wait with you for her return."

Hearing the girl's promise, those noisy voices calmed down one by one, and stopped talking.

"Girl, it's really hard work for you."

After a long time, the boy's voice came from a certain room again, and the words were full of self-blame and pain.

"Brother Jue, I'm not working hard!"

A smile could not help showing at the corner of her mouth. Hearing the boy's voice, the girl suddenly felt that her persistence seemed not to be completely useless.

At least the teenager can understand his inner pain and is willing to support his persistence.

"Girl, take good care of your younger brothers and sisters tonight, and tell them not to provoke that guy in the hall..."

Staring silently at the girl outside, the boy inside just murmured softly.

"That guy...is not human."
