"I wonder why this centipede is wrapped in the evil wind with so many wild vegetables, fruits, hares and wolves. It turns out that it is really used to feed the hungry."

In Wanhua Temple, Yan Qing was talking to the abbot.

In the yard, the centipede was hovering at low altitude, seeming to enjoy flying as a game.

The neighing sound it makes when flying is somewhat like the sound of gongs and drums, or the sound of monks singing, but it is a bit sharper.

Two-quarters of an hour ago, Yan Qing encountered this centipede monster outside the city. The monster also noticed the unusual aura on his body, became very nervous, and kept neighing.

Fortunately, Yan Qing was careful, thinking about all the things in the city, and then looking at the things wrapped in the evil wind, he made some guesses, took the initiative to restrain his aura, and did not make a move.

The abbot was thin and bald, but there were a few sparse white hairs on the back of his head. Holding a glass of water, he said: "I would also like to thank the benefactor for saving my life. Otherwise, by the time the Centipede comes back, I'm afraid we would have suffered too."

At the hands of those thieves."

The abbot knows what abilities the centipede has.

It is not possible for the centipede to make all the thieves on horseback freeze like wooden stakes.

If Yan Qing hadn't taken action in time, when the centipede flew back, he would have seen not just corpses on the ground, but the appearance of the monks being boiled in a large pot.

Yan Qing nodded slightly and said that he was living in seclusion in the mountains. He had recently left the mountains and came all the way to inquire about the local situation from the abbot.

The abbot of Wanhua Temple has some knowledge and knows that the country they are in is called Weiguo. Although it has only been established for a hundred years, it has already had seven emperors, and its relations with several surrounding countries are not good. Listen,

It is said that they are often attacked by troops, and they have to cede the city in order to survive.

The largest country in the world today seems to be called the Wei Dynasty. Although the names are similar, the population of Wei is said to be more than a hundred times that of Wei. It has been more than two hundred years since the founding of the country, and only five emperors were changed.

Just asking where the Wei Dynasty was, the abbot couldn't tell.

Yan Qing asked him again about the famous strange people and strange things in the world today.

The abbot became interested and immediately started talking about it. It is said that there was a Jinshan Temple on the southern border of the Wei Dynasty. It stood along the river and was built on the mountain. Emperor Taizu of the Wei Dynasty visited Jinshan in his dream and personally inscribed the name "Dragon" on the Jinshan Temple.

"You", so some people call it Longyou Temple.

It is said that the eminent monks in Jinshan Temple have supernatural powers. In the past, when the gate of hell was wide open and evil ghosts were causing trouble, the eminent monks in Jinshan Temple were able to subdue the evil spirits and protect the peace of the place.

"gate of hell?"

Yan Qing asked doubtfully, "Does it mean that on July 15th every year, the gate of hell opens?"

But the abbot shook his head and said: "When the gate of hell opens on July 15th, all that come out are the newly dead ghosts. They go home for a visit and will return to the underworld before dawn."

"But sometimes, on days other than July 15th, things will suddenly open up in certain places."

"Most of the people who broke out during that time were vicious ghosts. There were even cases where the ghost gate would be opened during the day and the sun would not be seen for a month. Within a thousand miles, all humans and animals would die and become haunted by ghosts.

.”

Yan Qing frowned and asked more questions about this matter.

According to the abbot, he had never seen the door of hell open before, but had only seen it in many classics.

However, when he was young, he met several refugees who fled to Weiguo, saying that their hometown had encountered a tragic disaster.

There are too many relevant records in the classics, and many refugees agree that this matter is probably true.

But if they are all true, then ghosts and ghosts are causing trouble too frequently in this world.

Yan Qing keenly felt that perhaps he could start from these things and find out more quickly what was strange about this world.

He planned to go to the capital of Weiguo to check the historical records there, and then inquire about the location of the Wei Dynasty.

Before Yan Qing said goodbye, the old abbot made a request.

"The layman Centipede has been in our Wanhua Temple for many years."

The old abbot said, "When my master was still alive, layman Centipede already had some magical powers. According to the master, the monks in our temple are just ordinary mortals who are sheltering in the temple. They are just trying to make a living, and they are not truly determined."

, people who have enlightenment and have the opportunity to practice Buddhism.”

"On the contrary, layman Centipede has good luck, determination, and understanding. He should have a Dharma name."

"It's just that we are all mortals, so how can we give the layman Centipede a Dharma name? I just hope that a real practitioner can show mercy and give the layman a Dharma name."

Yan Qing said: "I am not from Buddhism."

The abbot said: "Donor Yan is a truly virtuous person, which is rare in a hundred years. In our land, we have to wait for another great monk with righteousness to come. I don't know how many years it will take."

Centipede understood what they were saying, and stopped flying and circling at this time. It landed on the ground, tilted its head, and looked at Yan Qing eagerly.

"Actually, you don't have to wait too long. Among the idle people on the Han side, there are some who also practice Buddhism..."

Yan Qing muttered, but she thought that she didn't know when she would be able to truly find out the details of this world and let the big boss solve the hidden dangers smoothly.

After all, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll give it a try."

Yan Qing was pacing in the courtyard. The heads of the old monk and the giant centipede turned at exactly the same angle, and their eyes followed Yan Qing's figure closely.

"There are many poems left by monks in my heart, but they are just deliberately seeking elegance, but they are vulgar."

Yan Qing smiled and said, "Well, I think although you are kind-hearted, the dark wind and mist during the flight made you look a little too good. It is inevitable that the people will be frightened when they first see you."

"I hope you can make further progress in your cultivation as soon as possible, and that you can be surrounded by auspicious light and white clouds, so that your skin can match your kind heart."

"From now on you will be called Baiyun."

Yan Qing reached out and touched the big centipede's head, "Baiyun layman, Baiyun Zen master."

The big centipede shook its head and tail, rejoicing and feeling very happy.

Yan Qing heard his neighing sound, which was like Zen singing. He must be very talented in the magical power of music. He was really destined to be with him. While stroking the centipede, he used his divine will to teach it a method of practicing music.

This technique can be practiced by anyone, whether human or demon.

The big centipede was even happier. When Yan Qing left, it gave Yan Qing more than ten miles of land and was still reluctant to leave.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "You centipede, you are not young, but your mind is like that of a child. Go back quickly and take good care of the people in the city. We will see you again in the future."

As he spoke, he kneaded the gold leaves in his hands and twisted them into a flute. He played a tune with concentration in the wilderness outside the city.

In a radius of hundreds of miles, despite drought and famine, the water vapor in the land has recovered a lot recently, but everyone has no seeds and no energy to cultivate.

After Yan Qing finished playing this song, it was like the earth was returning to spring, with many buds sprouting from the ground and growing rapidly.

If something unexpected happens again, it can also relieve the immediate worries of the people nearby.

The big centipede saw the green color everywhere, suddenly thought of something, and screamed at Yan Qing.

"Oh? You're saying that you have to fly far away every time to find food. Once you met two snake spirits. They also knew some spiritual practice. They also rescued woodcutter and mountain people who fell off the cliff."

Yan Qing was slightly surprised, "The place where they live is also a cave opened by an unknown generation of predecessors. There are many books in it?"

The big centipede suddenly trembled, and a palm-sized carapace fell out from nowhere. It was swept by a stream of air and sent to Yan Qing. There were some patterns carved on the hard shell.

The big centipede couldn't read, but he had a good time chatting with the two snake spirits. Taking this piece of shell over would let them know that Yan Qing is a friend.

"Thank you very much."

Yan Qing put away the hard shell, turned around and left, playing the flute all the way.

Half a day later, he saw the two snake spirits. They turned out to be a green snake and a white snake.

In the cave, there are indeed some classics left by an expert a hundred years ago.

That expert mainly practiced swordsmanship, illusions, and water-shaped magic. He also loved to collect books and books. The things mentioned in them were much more detailed than what the abbot of Wanhua Temple knew.

Although after so many years, a lot of the information may have become outdated, but the things recorded in it about the door of hell being opened made Yan Qing strengthen his judgment.

The strangeness of this world must have something to do with these frequently opened ghost doors.

Yan Qing stayed here for two days, reading ancient books and playing fairy music.

Although this cave was opened by predecessors, the two snake spirits can also be regarded as the descendants of the old owner of the cave. Since their conduct is acceptable, they might as well repay them.

Yan Qing practiced martial arts since childhood and also loved music. Later, he entered Liangshan and received the guidance of Master Lin Lingsu, and also practiced the immortal music of Shenxiao Big Thunder Lang.

It is used to attack the enemy, including silent thunder, frightening thunder, fairy palace fantasy, five thunders blasting from the top, and other divine powers. It is used to relieve suffering and promote good deeds, but it also has many wonderful functions of rejuvenating all things, purifying the heart and soul, and purifying the blood and marrow.

The two snake spirits help him, and their cultivation has improved in recent days.

The two of them are much older than Centipede, and their cultivation level is also much higher than Centipede's.

If they are willing, they can already transform into humanoid heads and shoulders, but they are still used to swimming with snake bodies. Now with the help of the fairy voice, if they take advantage of the situation, they can transform into half a human body, which is extraordinary.

It seems that in a few years, they will be able to transform into complete human forms.

………………

Water Margin world.

Yan Qing's true form opened his eyes and relayed everything he had experienced recently to Guan Luoyang, especially the story about the Gate of Hell.

After Guan Luoyang finished listening, his attention was a little off, and he said: "You said that there was a pattern on the back of that centipede, just like the Golden Tathagata, and then you named the centipede Baiyun?"

Yan Qing said in confusion: "The big leader thinks there is something strange about the centipede."

"That's not true. I trust your judgment after personal contact."

Guan Luoyang smiled and said, "It's just a coincidence that you chose this name. I'm a little curious about whether the centipede will have a beard or no beard when it turns into a human form in the future."

Yan Qing thought quickly and said after hearing this: "So, just like our world, it can be called Water Margin, and the big boss has seen stories with similar backgrounds to that world."
