Chapter 166: Banquet at Guanyin Temple

"Pooh!"

The fat monk looked disdainful:

"Your weapon can kill people, but how can it kill ghosts?"

After that, he took out a small stone from the package and put it into Zhou Kao's hand:

"I'm giving you something to protect yourself. If you die later, you can't blame me."

Zhou Kao looked down and saw that the stone had a faint golden luster and exuded a faint aura of peace.

"what is this?"

"They are my master's bones."

The fat monk said confidently:

"It can ward off evil spirits."

"You actually gave your master's bones away?"

Zhou Kao was shocked.

"My master has achieved the status of a golden-bodied arhat."

The fat monk grinned:

"Rather than wasting it in the temple, I'd rather let this old monk take it out to exorcise demons and accumulate merit. Even the Buddha cut off his flesh to feed an eagle, so how can a monk care for a pile of bones?"

He paused, and his tone suddenly became serious:

"After I die, my golden body will be placed on that ghost well in western Sichuan to suppress those ghosts and monsters so that they cannot leave the well for the rest of their lives. Since monks receive offerings from the people, they should naturally give back to the people after death. How can they come empty-handed and leave empty-handed?"

When Zhou Kao heard this, his heart moved, and his original contempt for the monk immediately subsided a little.

"So, the monk does have a compassionate heart."

"That's natural."

The fat monk was very proud:

"But... I gave you this golden bone to protect you, but you have to pay me back eight or ten taels of silver and treat me to three meals of wine."

He blinked and said, "Since you are a connoisseur of goods, I will give you a lower price. If it were someone else, they would not even think about it if they did not have 20 taels of silver."

"..."

The slight bit of respect that Zhou Kao had just felt disappeared in an instant.

How can this be a gift? It's clearly a sale!

If it was really a gift, it would be considered a noble monk's demeanor; but to put such a high price on it, and even use one's own master's golden statue to exchange for the wine...

"That's too heartless."

As he was thinking, the fat monk suddenly twitched his nose and his eyes lit up:

"Hey, what a delicious smell of wine and meat! The banquet has started here, I have to go quickly."

Before he finished speaking, he seemed like a different person, and rushed out nimbly, his speed was completely different from his clumsy appearance just now.

Zhou Kao also smelled the aroma of wine and meat coming from afar. Because he was little Tai Sui, his sense of smell was much sharper than that of ordinary people.

In addition to wine and meat, there is also a strong yin energy mixed in!

He frowned slightly and followed the scent.

"Is there a party in this yard today?"

He explored the surroundings while moving deeper into the cave.

After passing through a forest, he looked around and saw a large hall, but found that there were no other statues enshrined in the temple.

In a large hall, there is only one statue, the statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth.

The Guanyin was three meters tall, with a golden body, a kind face, lowered eyebrows and eyes, dressed like a woman, and holding a baby in her hands. She looked lifelike, as if she would speak at any time.

However, just as he was passing by the release pond, he suddenly saw a series of strange bubbles emerging from the water.

I thought it was just an ordinary bubble, but when I looked closely, I saw a pale little face emerging from under the water.

It's a baby's face.

It was impossible to tell the gender of the person, his face was pale, his lips were black and blue, his empty eyes were staring at the water surface, and bubbles were gurgling out of his mouth.

Seeing Zhou Kao approaching, it seemed frightened and suddenly sank to the bottom of the water and disappeared.

Zhou Kao paused, his eyes suddenly turning cold.

That was obviously not a living baby, but the ghost of a wronged baby.

Looking closer underwater, densely packed little heads gradually emerged.

Three or four month old babies, one or two year old children, five or six year old children, and even the ghosts of women in their twenties or eighteen or nineteen years old...

They hugged each other tightly, stacked up layer upon layer, there were at least hundreds of them!

“Haha… that’s great!!”

Zhou Kao laughed in anger:

"Another evil temple! Is this a killing pond?!"

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and murderous intent filled his eyes.

Not far away, a magnificent palace stands in the garden.

Bright lights.

Looking through the window, I saw that the hall was filled with banquets and guests were like clouds. There were many beautiful women and charming ladies coming in and out.

There was constant laughter and cheers, it was truly a grand banquet.

"Go over and have a look."

Zhou Kao said in a cold voice, stepping forward without any hesitation.

"Meow!!"

A cat's meow pierced the night sky.

A kitten suddenly jumped out from the bushes and blocked Zhou Kao's way.

"Master, the Guanyin Temple here is so lively! The great goddess Huagu is stationed here, and her skills protect this area."

"Oh? Little Tai Sui, why did you come in? Didn't I tell you to wait at the door?"

"Hahaha, Master, this slave, isn't this just thinking about sharing the burden for you?!!"

Zhou Kao raised his eyebrows and said calmly:

"Oh, okay. Then what's Hua Gu's background?"

"Master, this Hua-gu..."

Before he finished speaking, tsk!

A cold light flashed by like a flag in the forest!

Zhou Kao swung the long sword in his hand without any hesitation!

He slashed directly at the kitten that was trying to climb onto his shoulder.

With one slash of the knife, the little kitten's head fell off and rolled to the ground!

But the strange thing is,

After the cat's head fell to the ground, its body staggered back to its feet, staring at Zhou Kao with its broken body, its tone full of sarcasm:

"You even want to kill your own raccoon? You're truly a born devil..."

"idiot!"

Zhou Kao snorted coldly, his eyes as sharp as a knife:

"Your mouth is such a flaw, and you still dare to play tricks on me here! It seems that my reputation is not big enough, and any cat or dog dares to block my way and plot against me."

He stopped talking nonsense, raised his right hand, and a small seal suddenly appeared in his palm!

"boom!!"

The copper seal turned into a stream of light and hit the cat's head directly!

Wherever the small seal passed, the air exploded and the negative energy dissipated!

Before the cat's soul could react, it was completely pierced by the bronze seal and instantly turned into a ball of black mist, disappearing into the night.

"Ah--"

Zhou Kao sneered, his eyes grim:

"When has Little Tai Sui ever called me Master? What a bunch of brainless people!!"

He stood there, looking around, a sinister smile on his face:

"If you dare to tease me... then you will all die!!"

Just entered this hall.

Zhou Kao saw that the seats were full of guests and the scene was extremely lively.

In the hall, there were scholars and talented men who were talking eloquently, reciting poems and composing couplets with great joy;

There are charming and incomparable beauties, with swaying figures and fragrant scents;

There are also wealthy merchants who dress elegantly and behave magnanimously;

There were also gentry and officials wearing black hats and brocade robes...

People of all kinds gathered together, as if all the people in the world had gathered here.

On every table were delicacies and fine wines. Everyone was toasting each other, and it was so lively!

Chapter 167 The Headless General

If ordinary people saw this scene, they would definitely think that this was an elegant banquet held in Guanyin Temple.

But in Zhou Kao's eyes,

How can this be some kind of grand event?

It's clearly a gathering of demons and monsters!!

His eyes were like lightning, scanning the surroundings:

I saw a woman in a gorgeous dress, her face as pale as paper, her lips bluish, her body as stiff as a puppet, and when she opened her mouth, a cold air blew out, like a gloomy wind from hell!

There was also a seemingly elegant scholar, but his body was floating and unstable, as if it would be blown away by the wind at any time. Even his shadow was blurry, and it was obvious that he was a ghost.

There was also a huge black bird, dressed in human clothes, sitting on a seat and chatting and laughing with others, and there was even a bit of elegance in its words!

"This is clearly a gathering of demons and monsters."

Zhou Kao sneered in his heart:

"What a refined taste."

He searched among these monsters, but unexpectedly found that

The fat monk was hiding in the corner, occupying a seat alone, eating and drinking voraciously, his mouth full. He had almost eaten up all the dishes on the table, leaving no bones!

Looking at this, they don't look like demon slayers at all, they just eat and drink for free.

Just as he was looking at her, a beautiful woman in a red dress walked slowly towards him, twisting her waist, looking very charming, with a seductive smile on her lips.

"What is this young man doing standing here alone?"

Her voice was soft and somewhat provocative:

"Is it because this is your first time here, you are unfamiliar with the place, and you have no one to accompany you? Come, I will accompany you."

After saying that, she took the initiative to lean towards Zhou Kao, her fragrance blowing in the air and her posture extremely seductive.

however,

Just when she was about to get close to Zhou Kao's arms!
