Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 169 Temple Xiao "Great Demon Wind"

Although the temple is small, it seems to be more particular. It is not built directly with adobe, but with some adobe bricks on three sides, and the small roof is also covered with a few pieces of gray tiles.

As for why it is a clay bodhisattva instead of a land god, it is because the statue in the temple is sitting cross-legged on the ground with hands clasped together.

At this moment, Chu Hang woke up Yang Bencai in the car, and the two of them got out of the carriage and were moving their hands and feet over there.

The coachman saw Yi Shuyuan observing the small temple, so he also came over now, and joined hands to worship the Buddha statue in the small temple several times beside Yi Shuyuan.

"Brother, which Bodhisattva is this?"

The coachman answered Yi Shuyuan only after he finished his worship.

"I don't know which Bodhisattva it is. Anyway, there is always one. I passed by and rested. I pray for peace."

Yi Shuyuan nodded his head, the car dealer didn't know, so he could only be an unknown Bodhisattva for the time being.

Hui Mian also looked at Xiaomiao through Yi Shuyuan's hair, whispering in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

"Sir, this is not an empty temple, but it's so weird"

Of course Yi Shuyuan knew that although the temple was small, the Buddha statue had been enshrined in a serious way, but he didn't know who it was enshrining.

As for the weirdness in Hui Mian's mouth, it's because there is an owner sitting in this temple, yes it's just sitting like that.

Ordinary Buddha statues may be related to Bodhisattvas, but there are few real gods sitting in them. The so-called incarnation is just a rhetoric to connect with god statues, unless you are really lucky, and the other dharma body just happens to wander here.

But even if he could see it, Yi Shuyuan didn't want to disturb the other party, after all, the other party didn't check out at all, as if he sealed himself in the statue.

"Oh, there is such a small temple over there!"

Yang Bencai's voice came, and he soon walked over with Chu Hang.

"Come, come, let's worship too!"

Yang Bencai joined hands and bowed together very naturally, and Chu Hang also followed suit, chanting words.

"Where in the barren mountains and wild mountains, the Lord of the Land blesses you!"

"Brother Chu, this is not Earth Lord, this is obviously a Buddha statue, don't blame the Bodhisattva, don't blame the Bodhisattva!"

Yang Bencai bowed again and again, and Chu Hang hurriedly said, "Don't blame the Bodhisattva."

After the coachman finished his obeisance, Yang Bencai and Chu Hang also did obeisance, but Yi Shuyuan stood by alone and did nothing, which seemed a little weird.

"Mr. Yi, don't you want to pay your respects?"

When Yang Bencai asked this question, Yi Shuyuan shook his head.

"Visiting the gods and Buddhas in the temple is just to seek psychological comfort. If your own virtue is not enough, how can the gods and Buddhas bless you? If your own virtue is enough and you have a clear heart, why do you need to pray to gods and worship Buddha?"

Yi Shuyuan found a reason for his behavior, and the others thought it made sense.

There were two houses over there, one was dilapidated, half of the roof collapsed, and the old horse that had been unloaded was tied up by the driver in the dilapidated house.

One room is still solid, but the door is half broken, and the oil paper on the window is all torn, but it is not a big problem to rest for a night.

Everyone cleaned up the house casually, then picked up some firewood from around and came back, and then lit a bonfire.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect. After the bonfire was lit, it felt like the sky was getting dark very quickly.

Although the weather has turned warm, it is still a bit cold at night, and after all, it is at the foot of the mountain. The bonfire not only brings warmth, but also brings some sense of security.

The coachman was bragging and chatting with three guests while baking some steamed buns.

"I heard that in the past when there was chaos, there were many ferocious beasts in Yanshan, including wolves, tigers and leopards. I heard that there were also monsters!"

Yang Bencai felt nervous when he heard this, and Chu Hang felt even more nervous, but Yi Shuyuan asked with great interest.

"Oh? What kind of monster is that?"

"Uh, for example, vixen spirits, tiger spirits, and mountain ghosts!"

Yang Bencai was already superstitious, so he was shocked to hear this.

"There are so many? Aren't we very unsafe?"

"That was in the past! Some people with low luck may have been lost when they encountered ghosts hitting the wall when they entered the mountain. Later, the imperial court vigorously rectified it. They asked the celestial master and other experts to clean up the mountain. I followed Tell me."

The coachman spoke clearly and logically, and made up some parts if he couldn't remember them.

And Yi Shuyuan listened with great interest, although he spoke very plainly, he could still imagine some things.

Some stories are not fake. The monsters are difficult to deal with when they are really mature. When they are not mature, although they are scary to ordinary people, some warlocks and mages may not be impossible to get rid of.

"Sir, wouldn't it be something that Kid Qi did when he was young?"

Hui Mian whispered something in Yi Shuyuan's ear, Yi Shuyuan's lips moved slightly, and the murmur came into Hui Mian's ear and replied.

"I don't know, but it should be from the same era."

Qi Zhongbin studied the Fa very early. He came out of the mountain at the age of 21 to venture into the world. Dayong would be in chaos. He was already famous when he was less than 30 years old. He was named one of the guardians of the country by Emperor Huai of Dayong decades ago. The title is from the fifth grade, but there is no salary.

It seems that the people in the car dealership are more talkative. The driver chats while baking the steamed buns, and continues talking after the steamed buns are baked, without taking a sip of water.

"Woooooohoooooohoo"

The old horse outside the courtyard neighed, and the coachman stopped immediately, stood up, walked to the door, and looked at the broken house not far away. The old horse inside shook its head and snorted, and he looked at the carriage frame again. The location is somewhat unclear.

The coachman turned his head and said to the three of them.

"I'm going to check on the horses and chariots, maybe there are snakes startling the horses."

As he spoke, the coachman took a burning stick from the campfire, and went out.

"There are snakes?"

Hui Mian cheered up, and rushed out at once. It was so fast that no one except Yi Shuyuan noticed it.

Just now I heard the coachman talking about the mountains, and now he suddenly went out because of the noise, Chu Hang and Yang Ben felt a little nervous, and the former asked carefully.

"Mr. Yi, is there anything wrong? I always feel very cloudy."

Yi Shuyuan deliberately looked at Chu Hang with surprised eyes.

"Have you seen this all?"

"Really sinister?"

Yang Bencai also asked, and Yi Shuyuan grinned and shook his head.

"There's no such thing as yin, don't scare yourself."

There is no Yin Qi, but there is some evil Qi, and it has always been there. Yi Shuyuan is not referring to Hui Mian.

Outside the house, the coachman protected a little light with his hands, and first went to the dilapidated house to look at the old horse. He took photos from top to bottom, and saw no snakes or insects, so he went to the carriage to look again, and of course there was nothing. What a thief.

"Oh, I forgot to feed some night grass!"

The coachman hurriedly took out a sack from the back of the carriage, took some fodder from it to the broken house, and put the fodder in front of the old horse.

"Eat, eat, let's hurry up tomorrow."

"Pfft."

The old horse snorted, lowered its head and started grazing.

The coachman looked at it for a while, and then returned to the house with the firewood that had been extinguished.

In the corner of the dilapidated house, a little gray mink came out with a snake in its mouth, looked up at the old horse that was grazing, let go of its mouth, and pressed the snake with its two paws.

This snake is as thick as two fingers of an adult, and its overall volume is much larger than that of a mink. However, it cannot move under the pressure of two small claws. Only its tail can shake a few times.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

Seeing that the horse was eating well, Hui Mian suddenly asked in a low voice, the old horse's body shook suddenly, and it neighed in horror.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

Now the coachman rushed out, shouting as he ran.

"Which bastard would steal my horse—there's plenty of us—"

Yi Shuyuan and the others also came out together later, the coachman led the way with a wooden stick in his hand, the four of them looked outside the dilapidated house, and then circled around the courtyard, but they didn't see anyone.

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the dilapidated house to check on the old horse, and stroked it a few times.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Hang asked, and the coachman smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you three for coming out together!"

"Oh, brother, can you stop being surprised?" "Yeah, I was scared to death by you tonight!"

The coachman was a little embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.

"My mistake, please forgive me."

"Okay, it's fine!"

After Yi Shuyuan said this, he took another look at the old horse, and then went back to the house with the three of them.

When the four of them all returned to the house, Hui Mian came out again with the snake in his mouth, and the old horse's horse face nervously pointed at the little mink in the corner.

"Can you stop being surprised? Surprise me!"

Hui Mian complained, gnawed off the snake's head in one gulp, and began to chew with "creak creak" in his mouth with puffed cheeks.

The old horse snorted, the horse's head turned to the left and then to the right, and there was obvious confusion in his eyes.

Hui Mian puffed his cheeks, holding the headless but still twitching and struggling snake, the horse's head turned to the left, Hui Mian chewed a few times and turned to look at the horse's face, the horse's head turned to the right, Hui Mian chewed again He turned his head a few times and aimed at the horse's face.

"Guru~"

The snake head was swallowed, and Hui Mian "crunched" a big mouthful of snake meat again, still looking at the horse while chewing with puffed cheeks.

"Crack creak creak creak."

Under the sound of chewing, the scene was quite funny, but the smaller one was calm and able to be distracted from cooking, while the bigger one remained tense all the time, and didn't even bother to eat grass.

"I see, you've never seen other monsters, have you?"

Hui Mian's voice was very thin, but very clear, the old horse's eyes widened, and there was no unnecessary reaction.

Hui Mian looked down at the remaining half of the snake's body, and picked up the bloody snake's body with both claws.

"Want to try it?"

After all, after he became refined, he also liked to eat vegetarian food, so Hui Mian felt that he might eat meat when he became refined.

"Pfft~~~"

After a snort, the horse's head shook from side to side.

Hui Mian held the snake and gnawed it again, it seemed that he could understand people's language, which meant that he did have spiritual wisdom.

But it's a pity, this horse probably hasn't refined its bones yet, so it can't speak out at all.

Hui Mian had a conversation with Ma while eating, and after eating, he said hello and went back to the house, whispering in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

The night soon became deep, and the few people in the house covered with hay and bedding fell asleep one after another, and their minds were peaceful, and they slept deeply.

At night, some animals in the deep mountains seem to be active.

Outside the deserted courtyard, some animals appeared one after another, including foxes, wild deer, and bobcats. They entered the courtyard one after another and came near the small temple, and night owls flapped their wings and landed.

The old horse in the dilapidated house easily let go of the rein and walked out of the dilapidated house, but it didn't go to the small temple immediately, but walked out of the intact house.

"Pfft~~~~"

The old horse snorted.

After a while, Hui Mian poked out a mink's head from the hole in the window to look outside, and said in a low voice.

"Are you calling me?"

The old horse shook the rein and nodded, Hui Mian came out of the window and jumped onto the horse's head.

When the old horse also arrived in front of the small temple, Hui Mian realized that there were many small animals here, and the old horse also crawled down in an empty space, and all animals lived in peace.

The clay bodhisattva in the small temple is still sitting there with folded hands, looking out with a benevolent face.

After a while, there seemed to be some voices in the small temple.

Hui Mian emptied his mind and listened carefully, and found that they were some Buddhist scriptures, as if a Bodhisattva in a temple was chanting scriptures in a low voice.
