In the Buddhist hall, there is a Buddha that Jiang Zhou has never seen before.

But it's not surprising.

Everything in this world is very different from what he knows.

He recognized none of the Buddhas and Taoists enshrined in temples and temples he had seen.

Under the compassionate and solemn Buddha statue, there are twenty or thirty dark coffins.

The whole hall was filled with candlelight, which was extremely bright.

But it still makes people feel a little bit eerie.

"Donor Xu and other donors, you have all seen it."

The old monk Kurong pointed to the Buddhist temple: "Lao Monk has just told all the donors."

He said to both sides: "People from neighboring villages and counties, there are many families where someone in the family has died, but they have no money to bury or save their ancestors."

"I can't bear it in my heart. There are still some incense offerings in Yuhao Temple, and there is a sweet-scented osmanthus forest behind the temple, which is quite spacious."

"So we simply use this sweet-scented osmanthus forest to bury the dead, and let those who are inconvenient at home send their ancestors to our temple."

"These coffins were sent by those families and were parked here. After the old monk performed rituals for his salvation, they were buried in the sweet-scented osmanthus forest behind the temple."

"In this way, others will benefit from it, and I will also feel at ease."

When the old monk Kurong said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "But it is precisely because of this that there are many rumors about evil in our temple."

He looked at the coffin in the Buddhist hall: "That's what happened. All the donors have seen it. These are poor dead people. I really can't bear to expose their corpses in the wilderness. If the donors are not taboo, they can stay here."

"

Jiang Zhou sighed: "Master is really compassionate and has immeasurable merit."

"ha!"

A man with a beard said in a loud voice: "What are we talking about? They are just dead people!"

"I'm not afraid of living people, so why should I be afraid of dead people?"

"Old monk, needless to say, where is the guest room? Take our brothers there quickly. We have traveled for a few days, but we have to be well fed for a few days. We have good wine and meat ready. You will never be short of money.

of."

"Amitabha, sin, sin, sin."

Ku Rong said quickly: "It's convenient for others. I don't dare to ask for the donor's property. It's just a pure place in Buddhism. It only has vegetarian food and no meat or wine."

"What? No meat or wine! I said this old monk..."

"Lao Qi!"

The bearded man was furious, but was scolded by a burly man.

Then he said apologetically: "Old abbot, please forgive me. My brother does not know the etiquette and has offended me."

The old monk Kurong said quickly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Then he looked at Jiang Zhou and the group of men and women: "Do you still want to stay, the donors?"

Jiang Zhou smiled and said: "Xiaosheng has been reading the books of sages since he was a child. He doesn't talk about strange powers and chaos. They are just some coffins. What's the taboo?"

"So you are a nerd, and you still don't believe in ghosts and gods? If you really see evil spirits, don't be so scared that you pee your pants."

Among the group of men and women in Jade Sword City, one of them suddenly laughed.

Jiang Zhou looked at the laughing person.

She is a beautiful woman.

He remembered that this person was the one she asked about about Huagu Temple in the tea shop, and he also tried his best to encourage everyone to come to Huagu Temple to "conquer demons" and accumulate merit.

When talking about people's merits and demerits in person, when Jiang Zhou saw that, not only did he not feel guilty, but he slightly raised his smooth chin.

He didn't take Jiang Zhou seriously.

"Hey, this girl said something wrong."

Jiang Zhou said with a serious face: "Scholars just don't talk about strange powers and don't get close to ghosts and gods. It's not that they don't believe in them."

"As long as you read thousands of books, understand the meaning of the saints, and strengthen your faith, even ghosts and gods will stay away."

He raised his head and raised his chest: "Xiao Sheng Yang has so much righteousness in his chest, why should ghosts and gods be afraid?"

"Pfft~"

Several young girls couldn't help laughing.

"What a nerd."

The beautiful and arrogant woman curled her lips: "You are the only one who still maintains Haoran's righteousness?"

She shook her head, turned her head away, and stopped looking at him.

It seems that he doesn't bother to argue with Jiang Zhou and loses his status for nothing.

The old monk Kurong said hurriedly: "Since all the donors insist on staying, Daokong, Daosheng, and Daoyin, you can take the donors to the backyard to rest."

Several monks behind him stepped forward and said, "Yes, abbot."

Before everyone left with a few monks, a girl who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old among the disciples of Jade Sword City turned back to him and said:

"Nerd, if you bump into a ghost at night, don't pee your pants, hehe."

Jiang Zhou puffed up his chest and said, "How can it be so? A young man who has read thousands of books, knows the meaning of the saint's scriptures, and knows the way of the saint, how can he be afraid of mere ghosts and gods?"

"Don't you hear that it is the joy of a gentleman to look up to heaven and bow to the earth without any shame, to act in a way that is not to be ashamed of others, and to stop without shame in the heart?"

"A gentleman has no shame, how can he be afraid of evil spirits?"

"Don't you smell..."

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The little girl's eyes turned around and her head was dizzy when she was read by this nerd. When she realized that he wanted to read again, she quickly covered her ears with her back and interrupted with a crisp voice.

He glared at Jiang Zhou, turned around and left in a hurry, not daring to stay.

Jiang Zhou secretly smiled in his heart, but his face was blank. He stretched out his hand and shouted: "Xiaosheng hasn't finished speaking yet, girl, don't leave!"

The little girl stumbled and almost slipped.

The proud woman rolled her eyes at her: "Why do you care about that nerd? Do you know you were wrong this time?"

The little girl's face was still frightened: "Who knew he could speak so well? Senior Sister Qiu, are all these scholars so scary?"

"Master seems to ask me to memorize some of the words he said on weekdays, but I only read two sentences and my heart was full of demons, and I couldn't help it..."

"Senior Sister Qiu" rolled her eyes: "Pfft! What do you call an inner demon? Are you still in a state of mind? You are distracted and sleepy!"

She shook her head and added: "There are still many powerful people among scholars. Not to mention those great scholars, even our master has to be respected."

"There are many talented people in the younger generation. They are as beautiful as dragons and winds in the jade capital, with dragons carved from Buddha's heart, and phoenixes spitting pearls. They are all listed in the Jade Dragon Book. I heard they are not inferior to my sister and our senior brother Lin."

"In Yangzhou, there is also Xiao Li of the Yueyang Xiao family, who is also extraordinary."

"And the banished immortal who shocked the world half a year ago, isn't he also a scholar? Do you think he is powerful?"

The little girl covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise: "I've heard of that banished immortal! I heard that he used three swords to cause chaos in the world. How powerful is that!"

"These three swords are not the other three swords...forget it, you are right."

"Senior Sister Qiu" shook her head. She really didn't know how to explain clearly to a junior sister like herself who was a bad student.

"Anyway, remember, there is no harm in reading more, but don't read to death like that nerd. Then you will become the same nerd!"

The little girl opened her eyes wide and shook her head in horror.

She doesn't want to be like this!

Not long after, he suddenly said worriedly: "Senior Sister Qiu, you said he is so stupid. If he is really evil, wouldn't he be easily killed?"

"Senior Sister Qiu": "..."

A handsome man who had been laughing and listening turned around and said, "You little thing, stop talking about others, take care of yourself, and don't bother you, Senior Sister Qiu, anymore."

Don't mention their conversation.

Jiang Zhou put down his hand with some unfinished thoughts and looked at the group of Jianghu guests.

Several people were looking at him blankly.

When she saw him, she quickly shook her head and avoided looking at him.

The bearded man cursed: "Damn it, that nerd, don't open your mouth. I like to beat people when I have a headache."

He raised his fist as big as a casserole and threatened Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou shook his head with regret.

"smell good."

Several monks came to the backyard.
