Chapter Thirty-Seven
"That gifter Ning is a Buddhist, and is very pious. After becoming a monk at Lanruo Temple, before you come, there are very few people who come to Lanruo Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha. She is one of them, and more than once, such a person is destined to be with my Buddha. Besides, you see her warm invitation, if we refuse, wouldn't she be very disappointed?"
"Where did you get so many fallacies? Now we are the master and apprentice here. Master, tell me the truth, is she your illegitimate daughter?" Wusheng said.
"No, is my teacher that old?!" Kongxu suddenly stopped the trail after hearing this.
"Besides, when my master became a monk in Lanruo Temple, she was already over teens."
"Don't be so excited, I just asked casually." Wusheng said.
The master and apprentice were talking all the way, stopping and stopping. Wusheng didn't feel tired. Since his practice, his body has become stronger and stronger, but he has to rest for a while. As the evening approached, they came to Jinhua City. At this point, the pawn shop had closed the stalls and closed the doors. They still had to find a place to spend the night so that they could go shopping for incense tomorrow.
Jinhua City is not small, but there are not many places where they can spend the night with their master and disciple. They came to the City God Temple again. The old temple received them with a smile, but there was still a pot of porridge at night.
After dinner, Monk Kongxu started chatting with the old temple Zhu, and Wusheng listened on the side. As he chatted, he started talking about incense. The old temple Zhu said that there were not many people coming to the City God Temple on weekdays, and they were deserted. Since the view of immortality, there have been much less incense in these places.
"Old man, do you still remember the last time we came?" Wusheng suddenly remembered what happened at night when they came last time and asked.
"Remember."
"When we left the next day, we heard something happened in Jinhua City. The whole family died at home and had no heads, right?"
"It's because of this. Not only did I lose my head, but my blood was sucked dry, but it caused a lot of panic. The Taoist priest of the Longevity View also came over to see it." Lao Miao Zhu said.
"They went too?" Kongxu was a little surprised after hearing this.
"Yes, the dead family has a special identity, and they have some relatives from the officials and servants in the government office. The servants in the county office cannot solve the case. The county magistrate personally took action and went to the Guan Sheng. Then he invited the Taoist who was practicing inside to go and see it. He said that it was a demon who committed the crime, but the demon had gone far away and he didn't know where he went, so he couldn't chase him." Lao Miao Zhu said.
"Then there is nothing we can do?" Wusheng said after hearing this.
"The Taoist said that if the evil evil comes again, the Changshengguan will definitely take action and kill it."
"Beautiful!" Wusheng smiled after hearing this, and anyone would say anything big.
"By the way, there is something to ask." Wusheng said.
"This city god may appear?" Wusheng pointed to the statue of the city god beside him.
Last night, in the night outside, there was a demon in the night sky outside. The city god below was dancing like he was dancing, almost falling down. It should be more than just a coincidence, right?
After hearing this question, Temple Zhu was silent for a long time.
"In the past, the City God could appear. I have encountered it many times, which can drive away evil spirits and disasters and save people from danger. However, the incense became less and less, and the City God appeared less and less. It has been a few years since I saw him appearing." Lao Miao Zhu said.
"Does this city god have a name?"
"It is said that it is called Lu Nomination, and he is also from Jinhua. He was filial to his mother during his lifetime and moved heaven. After his death, he was named the local city god to bless people in the country." Lao Miao Zhu said.
"Who enthroned this city god?" Wusheng asked then.
"I don't know this." Lao Miaozhu smiled and coughed twice, as if he was not in good health.
After chatting for a while, it was getting late, so they each took a rest.
Kongxu and Wusheng were playing on the floor in a corner of the main hall of the City God Temple.
"Master, are there any gods in this world?" Wusheng asked suddenly.
He has seen all the ghosts. Since there are ghosts, there will be demons. Will there be gods?
"Divine Gods? Those outsiders do not care about worldly affairs and are dedicated to practicing. Isn't they just want to become immortals and achieve enlightenment?" Kongxu said.
"Will anyone succeed?"
"How do I know this? However, I have seen someone who is already a hundred years old, but his appearance is not as good as his thirties or forties, he is light and healthy, and he has no trace of walking on the snow." Kongxu said.
"A practitioner outside the square?"
"Yes." Kongxu said.
"It's really." Wusheng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and thought about some things.
"Master, are there monsters in this world?"
"That is the impure of human heart." Hump still said the same thing.
"Why don't you want to admit it? There are practitioners and monsters outside the world. That day, I woke up in the City God Temple in the middle of the night. I saw with my own eyes something like a human head, as big as a lantern, with wings, flying in the air."
"What, did he see you?" When Wusheng talked about the monster he saw, Kongxu sat up suddenly and asked nervously.
"No." Wusheng shook his head, "Master, do you know that kind of demon?"
"I heard someone mention it, it is called flying head twitching, head rudder, ear wings, flying in the sky at night, as agile as a bird, eating human heads, sucking human blood." Kongxu said.
"Master, since you know there are demons in the world, why don't you believe in ghosts?" Wusheng said.
"The so-called ghosts are the impure hearts of human beings, and evil spirits are born and do not dissipate for a long time, and they become ghosts." Kongxu said, "In the final analysis, it is still in the human hearts. If everyone's hearts are pure and the spiritual platform is clear and there is no evil spirit, how can there be ghosts?" Kongxu said.
"You are so biased. All things have spirits. The big snake in the mountains does not grow that big because of evil spirits." Wusheng Dao.
"That's a demon, not a ghost." Kongxu said.
"Stop picking on words." Wusheng said with a smile.
"It's not about judging words, I only believe what I see." Monk Kongxu said.
"Master's eloquence is indeed great. What did you do before?"
"Okay, it's already late, it's time to rest." Kongxu lay on the ground after he finished speaking, but after a while he snored.
With such sleeping speed and such sleep quality, Wusheng can only be amazed and envious.
The night gradually became deeper. In the middle of the night, Wusheng heard another sound from the hall. He got up and went over to see that the statue of the City God sitting high above the hall was trembling.
"It's moving again, what will happen this time?" Wusheng turned his head and looked outside the gate of the City God Temple.
The last time I flew over the night sky, the statue almost jumped off from above. This time it seemed that the range of jumping was significantly lowered, so it should be that it was a little bit worse.
Wow, a gust of wind suddenly broke out outside.
"The sky is dry, be careful of the fire and candle." A sound of beating people came from outside.
Meow, suddenly a cat meowed.
Ah, a scream, a gurgle.
