I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Favored by the evil god, the sickly me became the White Skeleton Bodhisattva Author: I really don’t drink tea

Summary:

Inside the Bone Temple, a young monk in a grey robe bowed down in worship to the great being on the twelve-petal lotus platform.

"In this world, ghosts and monsters are everywhere, and demons are rampant. Does the Bodhisattva have a good way to save the world?"

It's a rare opportunity for me to go home and visit my sister, and suddenly I was asked some very profound questions.

On the lotus platform, the little girl scratched her head in confusion, and finally decided to ask for him.

"wait me back!"

After a hundred years, the mortals in the temple had become nothing but dry bones. But on this day, amid the roars of dragons and tigers, the White Bone Bodhisattva finally returned.

The little girl knocked the skull on the ground with the wooden fish stick twice.

Two ghostly lights flashed, and a strange figure wrapped in a tattered gray robe slowly stood up.

"There is a country in the East, named [Ju Tang]."

He took out two boxes of wordless scriptures, and summoned a violent ape, a big-bellied man, a monk who had broken his vows, and a centaur.

"This time when you go east, you must go through 81 difficulties before you can promote my religion and save the people."

"May I ask the Bodhisattva, what is the name of my religion?" the demons asked in unison.

"..."

"Let me think about it!"

Chapter 001: Temple Keeper

Dongdongclang, dongdongclang, dongdongclang dongdongclang—

Accompanied by the festive sound of gongs and drums, the dilapidated door of the woodshed was creaked open.

The hostess led a few rough women into the room, and they gathered around the simple wooden bed with a smile on their faces.

"Tangtang, get up and change into new clothes."

"It's a happy day. You can't stay in bed today."

Everyone was talking at once, but their hands were busy. They quickly helped the little girl change into new clothes and washed her face.

"Oh, Tangtang is so beautiful!"

When praised, the little girl blinked her big round eyes on her fair face.

She was a little confused now. The old ladies were usually very mean to her, but today they suddenly became friendly for some reason.

Maybe it’s a festival, but what festival is it?

"It's not a holiday, but today is indeed an important day for you."

In response to the little girl's curious inquiry, the hostess, Tangtang's aunt, answered with a wry smile.

"Important day?"

"Yes, your uncle discussed it with the elders the day before yesterday and decided to let you be the temple keeper of our Baishi Village."

There is a Yaoshan Mountain near Baishi Village. There is an old temple on the top of the mountain. In the temple, there is a stone Buddha named Shoushan Buddha.

This temple used to be quite popular, but a few decades ago, a disaster struck! Not only did it smash through the old temple, it also smashed the Buddha's head, turning the mountain-guarding Buddha into a headless Buddha.

People regarded it as an ominous sign, so the temple on the top of the mountain was soon abandoned.

Today, it is really strange and bizarre that someone suddenly wants to send his poor six-year-old niece to the mountain to be a temple keeper.

"Tangtang, you can't just run down the mountain, okay?"

Qin Lian emphasized this point first, and then continued: "Don't worry about food, someone will deliver it every few days. I will also prepare a few more blankets for you, Tangtang, just live there with peace of mind."

"kindness!"

Hearing this, the two braids on the little girl's head shook, and she actually looked very happy.

The woodshed at her uncle's house is narrow and dark, and there is usually no one to talk to her. It would be best for her to live with her sister in the mountains!

"When are we leaving? Tangtang wants to go to the top of the mountain to play with her sister early."

The rough women looked at each other, but Qin Lian sneered with a hint of mockery in her eyes.

She hated Tangtang for two reasons: first, the little thing was the daughter of that vixen; second, the little thing helped her husband to play tricks.

She would be seriously ill on the last two days of every month, and then 'Sister Wanzi' from the dilapidated temple on the top of the mountain would fly to the woodshed and suck the disease out of Tangtang's body, so that she would be well again on the first day of the next month.

Many foolish women in the village actually believe such nonsense!

If she hadn't spread the word that the little thing was helping her husband in acting, the temple might have become very popular again.

With a mocking and all-seeing expression, Qin Lian grabbed the little girl's wrist and walked out.

She used so much force that she left several red marks on her little niece's wrists in just a few steps.

Fortunately, the people carrying the sedan were already waiting at the door. Qin Lian did not dare to do anything excessive in front of everyone, and she silently let go of her hand.

"go"

Glancing at the pitiful little girl, Qin Lian forced a smile: "Everyone will miss you."

............

Amid the deafening sound of gongs and drums, the sedan chair carrying Tangtang circled the village.

When passing by the village chief's door, the little girl waved to the people standing at the door: "Uncle, village chief grandpa, Tangtang has gone up the mountain!"

Tangtang's uncle responded with a smile, but the old man next to him had a blank expression on his face.

After watching Tangtang leave, the old man finally spoke: "Although she is not your brother's biological daughter, he repeatedly told you to take good care of Tangtang before he went to the battlefield. Li Xin, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing this?"

"It is Tangtang's blessing to serve the Buddha for the rest of her life. Others can't even ask for it." Li Xin clasped his hands together and said a few words devoutly, then suddenly said seriously: "Since the temple keeper is from my family, the land on the top of the mountain should belong to my family, right?"

The medicinal mountain in Baishi Village is really a treasure mountain. Not to mention the common medicinal herbs, there are also many rare ones in the mountain!

Just for this mountain, several wealthy families in the village have been fighting for three generations.

However, ever since Li Xin married the daughter of Ruihe Pharmacy and received great support from his father-in-law, this medicine mountain has gradually been named after Li.

The village chief thought he had found Li Xin's weak spot in the temple keeper incident. If he dared to send someone from the same tribe up the mountain, wouldn't the elders of the tribe be in chaos?

Unexpectedly, he was so cruel as to push the little girl out.

"As long as Tangtang guards the temple, the land on the top of the mountain will belong to you."

Hearing the old man's words that seemed to indicate he had admitted defeat, Li Xin laughed and was about to say something, but at this moment, a few sedan chair bearers in the distance encountered trouble.

"You can't go up the mountain. There are man-eating ghosts living in the temple. You can't go up the mountain. There are so many eyes. Don't look at me. There are so many eyes!"

The dirty beggar blocked the sedan bearers' way. He shouted neurotically and stretched out his hand to pull the little girl out of the sedan.

"What are you standing there for?"

Li Xin recognized his brother-in-law. His eyes were evasive for a moment, but soon he showed annoyance.

"Hurry up and take care of the Second Master back home."

After he gave the order, several servants around him rushed towards the beggar.

"Second Master, go home and rest."

"Let's go back and talk about it. We can talk about it slowly when we get back."

After the men carried the crazy beggar away, Li Xin glanced at the old man beside him with a dark face. The old man looked like he was enjoying the show, and Li Xin was furious when he saw it.

"Excuse me, goodbye!"

Li Xin clasped his fists towards the old man and walked angrily towards his own house.

...............

The man beating the gong went halfway up the mountain and then turned back. Several sedan bearers carried the little girl to the front of the dilapidated temple and quickly left, as if there really were some man-eating evil ghost inside.

Tangtang was not afraid. She pushed the door open and ran in like the wind.

"Sister Wanzi, Tangtang can live with you from now on!"

The headless Buddha, strictly speaking, actually has a head.

Because the disaster star (meteor) that smashed the Buddha's head was right embedded in the stone Buddha's body, the previous head is gone, but with this one in its place, we can still worship it.

The little girl's eyes were not focused on the Buddha, but on the disaster star.

Obviously, the Sister Wanzi she mentioned was referring to it.

Well, this star is round and chubby, and at first glance it does look like a fried meatball.

Chapter 002 Feeding Buddha with one's body

The dilapidated temple was filled with dust and, more importantly, it was leaking air everywhere.

Tangtang talked happily with Sister Wanzi for a while, and then she felt a chill.

Rubbing her hands, the little girl ran out the door.

My mother said that we must wear more clothes when the weather is cold. It is very cold on the top of the mountain, so we need to cover ourselves with more blankets.

The bag was carried out of the dilapidated temple along with Tangtang. The little girl was so anxious to talk to her sister that she didn't pay attention to it.

"Blanket, blanket."

There wasn't much in the bag, just some food and two blankets. Even after wrapping herself in the two thin blankets, Tangtang still felt very cold.

She couldn't help feeling a little worried, and the two little braids on her head drooped down.

After staying outside for a while, Tangtang returned to the temple with her head down.

Huh?

Originally there was thick dust piled up in the temple, but now when I came back, all the dust was gone.

Not only did the dust disappear, it was also very warm inside, as if the wind outside could not blow in at all.

"Sister is so nice——"

The little girl stretched out her hands and wanted to hug her sister, but unfortunately her sister was too tall and she was too short, so she couldn't hug her at all.

"Sister, eat!"

After dividing half of the food in the bag and placing it in front of the stone Buddha, Tangtang happily began to eat the steamed buns.

Having a warm house and having family to eat with her, this is the happiest life in the little girl's heart.

.............

"Clear water, lotus, Buddha lamp, incense, candles, and tribute fruit. Are you going to go up the mountain to worship Buddha?"

Seeing the servants busy preparing these things, Qin Lian, who had just comforted her younger brother, couldn't help but frown.

"kindness"

Li Xin nodded slightly, then said with an unhappy look: "How did he get out this morning? Couldn't you have kept a close eye on him so I could have been more careful?"

"Save some energy?"

Qin Lian's tone suddenly became sinister: "My brother is dead, so you can rest assured?"

To be honest, Li Xin did think so, but he would never admit it.

"Nonsense! This time I went up the mountain to worship Buddha mainly to pray for my brother-in-law. I hope he can get better soon."

Li Xin's words failed to calm his wife, but instead greatly angered her.

In Qin Lian's mind, her brother's madness was closely related to the headless Buddha on the top of the mountain.

"That evil Buddha harmed my brother, can he still bless him to get better now?"

"Shut up!"

Li Xin suddenly looked terrified and covered his wife's mouth with his hand.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lian bit him hard. Li Xin cried out in pain and took his hand back.
