The scenery in the field of vision was hazy, wrapped in dim light.
In a yurt built by herdsmen,
The ghost mastiff squatted at the door, looking out warily.
On a small bed made of firewood, there lay a child with a pale face and no trace of blood. Su Wu stood next to the small bed, frowning at the child on the bed.
The child's body was already cold and stiff.
No more breathing,
No more heartbeat.
Died on the way to escape.
In fact, his death was foreseeable - he was held by a ghost for an unknown period of time, he was constantly attacked by ghosts, and it is not like young people have a stronger physique... All these factors combined, the child can survive
Being rescued by Su Wu was already a miracle.
Unfortunately, he did not survive to the end.
"I don't know your name, otherwise I can send a message to your family." Su Wu looked at the pale child and sighed.
There is a high probability that this child is a pseudo-Buddhist supported by the elders of the East and West Second Ward, and he is most likely a noble son from the 'Pazola Hutuktu' family;
And the noble son who was supported by the venerable lineage and was born in the Changyun Sect had completely turned into a traitor before Su Wu and the others arrived.
——Finally escaped from the mother of the devil and was chased by the children of the devil,
Su Wu once saw a trickster possessing a child.
That child is most likely a descendant of the Changyun Sect's main family.
Both Buddhist disciples are dead.
It is impossible for him to replace either of the two,
Su Wu's current physique has long exceeded the normal range of a seven or eight-year-old child. No one will believe her no matter how hard she pretends.
Not to mention that the senior officials in the temple have probably seen the appearance of the two Buddhist disciples.
Squatting at the door of the yurt, Su Wu stroked the ghost mastiff's back hair and looked at the hazy sky outside.
Led by the ghost mastiff,
He ran away with the children,
Using the North Star to constantly adjust our position, we ran for most of the night and finally found this yurt on the grassland, where we settled down for the time being.
Su Wu didn't know what area he was in at the moment.
He didn't know who the owner of this yurt was.
There are many herdsmen on the plateau. They live in pursuit of water and grass, but they also have several fixed pastures for grazing, so they built yurts in various pastures.
It is convenient for them to drive cattle and sheep at any time and move their grazing spots.
The yurt where Su Wu is currently staying is probably the yurt that has been temporarily vacant by herdsmen.
It's not completely bright yet,
If you go out now, you don't know what you will encounter.
So Su Wu chose to rest in the yurt first and wait for dawn, then the ghost mastiff would lead the way back to Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
The only way to bury the child's body is to wait until daybreak.
Su Wu's stomach was empty,
A feeling of weakness seeped out from the bones of his limbs and soaked into the flesh and blood of his body, making him unable to muster any strength.
At this time, it would be great if a lone sheep suddenly appeared in front of me...
Even without seasoning, just using the pile of firewood in the yurt, it would be great to make a roasted whole lamb...
Bored, sleepy, hungry and tired,
He can only rely on fantasy to relieve his boredom.
However, the thoughts in his mind were spinning, and God seemed to be echoing his thoughts. In the hazy darkness, a big black sheep suddenly walked out.
The wool of the big sheep is so black that it distinguishes itself from the darkness covering all around.
Let Su Wu see it at a glance!
Oops!
Su Wu stood up suddenly!
When he saw the black sheep coming out of the darkness and slowly munching on the meadow, his first reaction was definitely not to jump out, catch the sheep, peel off the skin and remove the dirt, and use firewood to roast the whole sheep.
Instead, he kept chanting in his heart: "It's weird, it's weird!"
"Woo-woo--" the ghost mastiff next to him made a warning sound.
Its low roar also verified Su Wu's thoughts - the black sheep that suddenly walked out of the darkness was definitely no ordinary sheep!
The darkness behind the sheep squirmed,
In a moment,
A second, third, and fourth black sheep slowly walked out of the darkness. Their fur was distinctively black.
It is distinguished from the real darkness.
Behind the black sheep came the sound of the shepherd waving his whip.
The sheep flooded towards the yurt——
boom!
Su Wu suddenly locked the door of the yurt, piled everything in the yurt at the door, and blocked the door!
However, the yurt itself is just a thick tent.
There is no solid wall itself,
Not to mention that the flock of sheep coming over has a strange origin. Just an ordinary flock of sheep rushing over with a huff and aah might collapse the tent!
But hiding in the tent, I can’t see the outside world.
After all, it can give people a sense of security.
Su Wu hid in a corner, hugging the ghost mastiff, and raised his ears to listen to what was going on outside.
He heard: the sound of sheep trampling the grass and chewing grass stalks;
The sound of the sheepherder's whip;
The sound of a dark wind blowing through the door.
The bursts of sounds mixed together and headed towards the yurt where Su Wu was sitting.
Getting closer, getting closer——
Su Wu's heartbeat quickened and he looked at the child's body on the bed of firewood.
At this time,
A ray of cold and eerie charm seeped in from outside the door of the yurt,
Passing through layers of barriers, lingering around Su Wu.
Outside the door, the shepherd's voice sounded: "It's time to go! It's time to go!"
'His' shouting seemed to have an unknown power, which made Su Wu's 'mind' that came into the young Zhuojie's body tremble, as if he wanted to leave together with the shouting!
"Go away, you idiot!" Su Wu suddenly shouted!
His thoughts were condensed into a string of inscriptions, and the inscriptions suddenly turned into black dragons, spinning in the eyes of young Zhuojie!
Turn into a dark vortex!
The unknown force that pulled Su Wu's mind suddenly bounced away as if he was electrocuted!
outside the door,
The shepherd drove the sheep, turned around, and left slowly.
And in this huge herd of black sheep, at some point, there was an extra lamb.
The child's body on the bed of firewood is decomposing rapidly,
The smell of corpse gradually spread in the yurt.
Su Wu listened to all the movements outside the door and disappeared in an instant.
He looked at the ghost mastiff in his arms,
The ghost mastiff winked at him and wagged its tail.
never mind……
Su Wu let out a breath.
…
Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
All the death ceremonies were carried out in an orderly manner.
The monks of Jinglunyuan surrounded the pagoda of the deceased abbot, recited sutras, and covered the white pagoda with pieces of snow-white silk;
The old yak that was born on the same day as the abbot was slaughtered. The monks in the monastery wrapped the pieces of the yak carcass in tsampa and threw them to the vultures circling in the sky.
In the main hall of the temple where the ‘Great Sun Tathagata’ is enshrined,
The elders of the two deans on the east and west sides were lined up on the left and right.
The first-discipline monk Guangfa and other great monks lined up in sequence below the elder monks.
Accepting gifts from farmers under the jurisdiction of the temple;
Worship by monks sent from other monasteries with whom we have contact;
The officials of Changyun Zongfu were already waiting in the main hall, waiting to record the new abbot of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple - when the two groups of people fighting in Xionghu decided the winner, the Buddhist who first stepped into the temple,
He is about to inherit the authority of the abbot of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple.
Guangfa moved his lips and recited scriptures in a low voice.
He has a thin face and high cheekbones, and looks stern and rigid.
However, at this time, the great monk, whose authority was only under the elders of the East and West dean, had a somewhat worried look in his eyes, and he looked up at the door of the main hall from time to time.
He and the elders of the East and West Houses are all vying to support different "Buddha Sons" to inherit the title of Venerable.
However, the elders of the East and West Houses seemed completely unaffected by this matter.
However, this great monk frequently looked at the door, his expression far less calm than that of the elders of the East and West courtyards.
Just when Guangfa looked at the door for the unknown number of times,
Suddenly there was a noise outside the door,
follow closely,
A strong young monk ran in!
The moment he saw the young monk, Guangfa's expression relaxed a lot, but as soon as his thoughts changed, his expression became serious again.
The young monk glanced at the high-level monks who were all looking at him in the main hall, and finally looked at Guangfa and called out: "Master!"
The identity of this young monk is self-evident.
Naturally, it’s Guangfa’s new disciple ‘Zhuo Jie’—also Su Wu!
"Tianhai." Guangfa said with a sullen face, waving to Su Wu, gesturing for him to come closer.
Upon seeing this, the elders of the East and West deans in the main hall calmly invited the monks from the temples and officials sent by the Changyun Sect to rest for the time being.
Not long after,
Only the senior monks of Wuxiang Zunneng Temple were left in the temple.
All the monks turned their attention to Su Wu, the uninvited guest from outside the temple.
"Why wasn't the Buddha brought back?" Guangfa asked the question that is the most concerning to all the monks at the moment.
Su Wu looked frightened, and after hearing the sound, he quickly replied: "Master, there is a strange mother on the side of Xiong Lake! Guang Hai, Guang Quan and other mages were all parasitized by the offspring of the strange mother.
Even Buddhists are not spared!
All dead!
I borrowed the light of the ghost mastiff and the help of the noble son of the 'Pazola Hutuktu' family, and finally used the lotus meat offering to stabilize the mother and son, and escaped all the way!"
"Where is the Buddhist disciple of Pazola Hutuktu's family now?" The discipline elder of the East Courtyard asked with a sharp look in his eyes as he stared at Su Wu.
The lineage of the elders of the East and West two abbots advocated supporting the descendants of the 'Pazola Hutuktu' family to become the abbot of the temple.
Now they see Su Wu coming back,
But he did not bring that noble son back,
I very much suspected that Su Wu had done something to kill the noble son to prevent him from inheriting the position of abbot.
"It's just outside the hall. I asked my fellow disciples to take care of it." Su Wu immediately replied.
Before he finished speaking,
All the monks walked out of the temple.
Guangfa glanced at Su Wu, shook his head, sighed, and walked out of the hall without saying anything more.
At this time, Su Wu said anxiously: "That noble son is dead!
I only brought back his body!
The Trickster held him hostage, and when I rescued him later, he was already dead. When we escaped from the Trickster Mother and the Trickster,
He died."
The joy on the faces of the 'presbyterian monks' who had not yet had time to restrain their expressions of joy froze when they heard this.
Guangfa's expression became obviously much more relaxed.
The president of the west school turned his head and stared at Su Wu coldly: "As long as his body is here, I will know how he died after taking a look!"
Having said that, if you don’t stay any longer,
He led a group of monks out of the temple and cheered.
Guangfa, who was walking at the end, looked at Su Wu with a calm expression and just said: "Don't be afraid. Just follow me. No one can touch you."
"Yes, thank you, master." Su Wu replied in a low voice.
He once again felt the care hidden in Guangfa's calm tone.
Why does the other party care about ‘Zhuo Jie’ so much?
Su Wu couldn't find the answer for the time being.
