The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 803

Chang'an City, Yongle Town, in the dilapidated Earth Temple.

"You're making trouble for yourself again."

Sitting on the beam not far from the altar, Xiaoqing stared at Pei Wende below from an almost overlooking perspective.

It's not that Xiaoqing likes this kind of condescending perspective, but that Pei Wende is reciting scriptures with his eyes closed at the moment, so he has no time to pay attention to her at all.

"Namo Amitabha Ye..."

"Dotakata Night..."

Even though the rebirth mantra was louder than one, it was still ringing, but Pei Wende kept frowning, showing no sign of stopping.

Because the object that Pei Wende wanted to save has never been saved, but appeared in the "vision" of ordinary people in a posture he had never imagined.

"Duo Di Ye..."

Within three feet of Pei Wende's body, two masks, one large and one small, were quietly floating and turning, and they tended to turn faster and faster with the sound of the rebirth mantra.

hum!
It's like the whisper of an evil ghost, or like the vibration of a mask...

When Pei Wende's chanting voice reached a certain critical value, the two masks, one big and one small, finally materialized completely and were exposed to Xiaoqing's eyes.

hum!
The big mask looks like a ghost, with frowning brows and sunken eye sockets, and two strange horns extending from the top of the head.

From a distance, it looks like a ferocious ghost, staring at his big copper bell-like eyes, and showing a terrifying and strange smile to outsiders.

The small mask on the other side is only about one-third the size of the big mask.

But the weirdness and horror it showed were not inferior to that big mask with blue face and fangs.

Because this small mask is like a face without facial features.

There is only a little vermilion outlining a smile, and the eyes and eyebrows that seem to be painted at will make it look extraordinarily charming.

"Amitabha!"

Almost at the moment when the two masks were formed, Pei Wende also opened his eyes.

It's just that compared to Xiaoqing who looked at the lively expression on his face, Wen Wende's expression was a little helpless.

"I just said, you are wasting your time!"

As early as when Pei Wende chose to stay in Yongle Town, Xiaoqing once said that it was a waste of their time.

Because the resentment left in this earth temple is not human resentment at all.

Or to be more precise, the evil ghost who left this resentment has long since disappeared, and what is entrenched in this earth temple is just a lingering resentment.

The evil ghost's resentment persisted, but the main body disappeared inexplicably.

The evil ghost has most likely lost its soul, and the remaining resentment is only left by chance and coincidence.

"How can this be a waste of effort?"

Rolling his eyes angrily, Pei Wende's thoughts are different from Xiaoqing's.

"Even if the resentment here no longer has the willingness to actively hurt others, it is a potential crisis after all."

"In case someone accidentally activates the grievance here, they are not capable of dealing with this kind of thing."

What Pei Wende said was the truth. Ordinary people have no good way to deal with evil spirits, let alone this kind of resentment that is more invisible than evil spirits.

"This resentment has not been activated here for more than ten years. You are purely worrying."

Xiaoqing is different from Pei Wende, she never thinks that anything is bound to happen.

These grievances have been quietly staying in this earth temple for more than ten years. If it weren't for Pei Wende's arrival, I'm afraid no one would activate them after waiting for more than ten years.

"Don't be afraid of [-], just in case, and get rid of some hidden dangers as much as possible."

Faced with Pei Wende's remarks, it was Xiaoqing's turn to roll her eyes this time.

"So, that's what you mean by 'remove'?"

Pointing to the two masks floating around Pei Wende's body, Xiaoqing said loudly.

"You are just transferring the 'trouble' to yourself."

These grievances were originally entrenched in the Earth Temple, but with Pei Wende's death curse, they were transferred from the Earth Temple to Pei Wende.

For the people living in Yongle Town, this naturally means the eradication of these "troubles".

But for Xiaoqing, Pei Wende just transferred the "trouble" to himself, and did not fundamentally solve these grievances.

"These grievances are troubles for Yongle Town, but they are not troublesome for me."

Words denied Xiaoqing's statement, Wen Wende just slightly raised his brows, and then explained unhurriedly.

"Usually speaking, resentment is transformed by the unwillingness and anger of mortals in life. It must be attached to the earth soul to be able to incarnate as an evil ghost and cause harm to the world."

"However, these resentments accidentally remained on the statues of the Earth Temple after the evil ghosts died."

"The statue of the land god is enshrined with incense all the year round, and it is quite spiritual. Being contaminated with these resentments will only make it degenerate into an evil god."

"Now that I have peeled off these resentments, even if this statue of the land god becomes a refined form in the future, it will no longer be affected by resentment and become corrupted."

After a slight pause in tone, Pei Wende continued.

"As for me?"

"Do you think that mere resentment can affect my mind and make me go crazy and fall into evil ways?"

Silently looking at Pei Wende, Xiaoqing naturally knew that what the other party said was true, because the resentment that could affect her mind in this world might not have been born yet.

But if you know it, you know it, but it doesn't prevent Xiaoqing from complaining about Pei Wende's reckless behavior.

"The hole of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest."

"Who knows when these resentments will become the last straw that breaks the camel's back?"

"Now you have the confidence to suppress these grievances, but what about the future?"

"Can you guarantee that you will never be weak, that you will never be eroded by resentment?"

This is not some unfounded speculation, but an established fact.

One day Pei Wende will grow old, and one day he will be unable to suppress this resentment.

At that time, no one knows whether this resentment will really be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

"I'm not a fool, of course I won't let that happen."

Hearing what Xiaoqing said, Pei Wende suddenly felt that she always seemed to belittle herself in some aspects habitually.

This may be Xiaoqing becoming more and more humane, and it is a manifestation of her growing closer relationship with Pei Wende.

But from Pei Wende's point of view, it is clear that Xiaoqing thinks that he is a reckless man in his heart, a person who does things regardless of the consequences.

"Once an ordinary creature is enlightened, it can be called a 'spirit'."

"The dead thing possesses intelligence by chance and coincidence, and it will be called a 'monster'."

"And when a living creature dies and regains life for some reason, it is a so-called 'ghost'."

"For example, these two 'Prajna Masks' in my hands now!"
