Gu Zheng felt the rapid flocculent chaos of the surrounding atmosphere, and the originally calm sky was covered by yellow clouds again. He didn't know that the violent dust storm was coming.
Looking at the pale face and a desperate little monk, Gu Zheng moved in his heart. He had no time to think of other problems. He winked at Xiaoying and pointed to him.
Xiaoying nodded reluctantly, still emitting a green light in her hand. In the twinkling of an eye, she surrounded the little monk, like a zongzi.
Being pulled by Xiaoying, the whole person quickly approached this side.
"Pay attention!" Gu Zheng looked up at the coming storm and said subconsciously.
At the next moment, a strong golden light rose in place. At the same time, a yellow tornado through the world rose, and the golden light was submerged in the blink of an eye.
After the time of burning incense, an equally huge quicksand pit is left in place, but the golden light in the middle has disappeared.
"Bah, bah!"
In a tall sand dune, a smaller figure rises from the air and spits out the sand in his mouth.
At the same time, two figures burst up below, slowly floating on the sand dune.
"I want you to wait for me. It's a loss." Gu Zheng looked at Xiaoying spitting on it and couldn't help saying.
"Who could have thought of being buried under it? It's so hateful." Xiaoying finally removed the sand from her body, and then said.
Then he turned his head and looked around. He was surprised and pointed to the far side.
"Mr. Gu, look, is that Shahai city?"
Not far away from them, a magnificent city came into their eyes. It was built of huge rocks, hundreds of feet high, which seemed to block the wind blowing in the air all the time.
The sand particles brought up by the strong wind flew towards the city, but at this time, a yellow barrier rose and was blocked out one after another.
"Yes, since we can't find it, let the sandstorm give us a ride, but the distance is closer than expected." Gu Zheng looked at the surrounding hills dozens of feet high and felt that if they continued to rise, they could surround the Shahai city into a valley.
Originally, Gu Zheng thought he would have to walk a long distance, but he didn't expect to send it directly to his home.
"And this little monk, what shall we do?" Xiaoying asked, pointing to the little monk still surrounded by green light. "Otherwise, just throw him out and dry him for three days and nights to let him stop us from coming in."
"Forget it, let him go. The other party doesn't want us to come in, just for fear of harming us." Gu Zheng shook his head and stopped Xiaoying's suggestion.
"Well, it's cheaper for him." Xiaoying murmured and said reluctantly.
Gu Zheng was puzzled. He looked at Xiaoying and glanced at her from beginning to end. He didn't find any problems. He felt that the other party seemed a little grumpy, but he still obeyed his own words and took a closer look when he had time back.
Her child's character is easily disturbed by the outside world. She should teach herself well and can't take the wrong route.
"Who are you?" Gu Zheng watched Xiaoying release each other. When he came back, he saw a loud cry behind him.
Gu Zheng turned his head and saw that several people in monk robes were flying here from a distance.
"Elder martial brother Liao, they came to see the master from outside. The other party also saved my life. As a result, there was a sudden dust storm and was rolled back again." the little monk behind saw four people flying in the distance and said quickly.
"So it is. I'm sorry, benefactor. We misunderstood!" the four monks here, who looked like fighting, heard the little monk say, and the head brother Liao put away his killing intention and said apologetically.
The three behind him also put away their weapons and bowed their heads slightly apologetically.
"Nothing. But why is it like this now? Is there any foreign invasion?" Gu Zheng waved his hand and then pointed to the outside protection.
"It's hard to say, but now that you're all here, go back with us to see the master, and younger martial brother Qing, come back together. The other younger martial brothers have failed, and we're still worried about you, so you'll come back." the elder martial brother Liao sighed, and everyone can see the sadness in his eyes.
"Thank you." Gu Zheng nodded and followed each other towards Shahai city.
As soon as you enter Shahai City, Gu Zheng can feel the fear emanating from the whole city. There are only a few people scattered in the whole spacious street, and they are in a hurry. They look around and seem to be worried about something.
Through more than half of the city, you can see that there are still many people here, but now it looks like a depression. It feels that the whole city will be abandoned.
Their destination is the temple at the north end of the city, which is also the only temple here, covering a huge area.
When they came back, many pilgrims came in and out. Although they were much better than those who looked outside, they were also alarmed. It seems that they did not get spiritual comfort here.
Entering the temple, a faint sandalwood filled the nasal cavity, and even many places were surrounded by layers of white fog. Except for some drought resistant trees, I didn't even see a flower.
However, on the eaves and trees, there are some colored cloth strips and red lanterns, which look like a festive scene.
The whole temple has no buildings with more than three floors. Houses are connected in a row, and most of the houses are built on rocks, which looks very simple.
Instead of going ahead, they made a circle from the side.
"Two benefactors, the conditions are a little rough. I have informed the master in advance. Please wait a moment."
Elder martial brother Liao separated them when they entered this not magnificent temple, and elder martial brother Liao led them to a side room and apologized to them.
"It's all right. We'll just wait here." Gu Zheng doesn't mind these chairs with some peeling.
"Childe, I don't like it here at all. I feel it bothers me." Xiaoying, sitting aside, twisted her body and said to Gu Zheng.
"We're not going to stay much time. Just bear it." Gu Zheng thought it was Xiaoying's physique, so he felt uncomfortable.
Even if the leak is picked up here, it is also a place presided over by an eminent monk. Naturally, it has natural restraint against some ghosts and evils.
"Well, I really want to go back to the picture." Xiaoying murmured, still sitting on it, but twisting from time to time. It looked very uncomfortable.
I didn't wait much time. I didn't have enough time for a cup of tea. One looked very young and couldn't give in to Gu Zheng. He came in from the outside wearing a red cassock.
"Master Wuxiang!" Gu Zheng stood up and said to him.
Although he also saw Wu Xiang for the first time, this mysterious breath of height looks equal to his cultivation. I think it's him.
"You're welcome, benefactor. I don't know what's the matter with me? You also see some changes here. I can't pull myself away now." master Wuxiang folded his chest and said to Gu Zheng.
He doesn't have to come in to feel the ancient struggle. Since the other party comes here, he is looking for something for himself.
"Just call Gu Zheng. This is my Lingtong Xiaoying." Gu Zheng first introduced himself, but he was a little embarrassed, because the other party didn't look like an easy thing to solve.
"No, no, master, the younger martial brother who just came back suddenly went crazy and seemed to be possessed by Yin evil." at this time, a frightened cry came from outside and ran here from far to near.
When the sound fell, a young monk of the same age came to the door of the house and looked inside breathlessly.
"There's something urgent here, benefactor Gu. I'll leave first and look for you later." master Wuxiang changed his face, apologized to Gu Zheng, and then turned to the little monk who just came.
"Qicha, take the two benefactors to the back first to have a rest and entertain each other."
"Yes, master Wuxiang!" the little monk who started tea immediately nodded and said.
Master Wuxiang hurried away and left them.
"Two benefactors, please go to the back wing to have a rest. When master Wuxiang has time, he will naturally inform you." qicha came forward and said to Gu Zheng.
"Please lead the way!" Gu Zheng nodded.
"By the way, why do you call him master Wuxiang, while others call him master!" on the way, he suddenly opened his mouth silently to Gu Zheng, who was on his way behind, breaking the calm.
"I'm just an ordinary monk here, and those senior brothers are disciples of master Wuxiang. Of course, their names are different." the qicha immediately replied.
"Can you tell me what's wrong here? I'm wearing festive clothes around, but I find that everyone here looks sad. What happened?" Gu Zheng continued to ask.
"This matter is known to all here, even serious enough to have begun to discuss. Everyone will leave here completely." qicha thought for a while and decided to say it. Anyway, it's not a secret thing, and basically everyone knows it.
"A few months ago, we prepared the Buddha's birthday ceremony here. Everything was the same as before. It was also a grand event here every ten years, but suddenly a lot of strange things happened. Some people disappeared for no reason. Later, even our martial brothers disappeared for no reason, but even master Wuxiang didn't know."
Qicha sighed and continued.
"Since then, people have been missing in the whole city. Almost every day, at least one person has disappeared, causing panic. While master Wuxiang stepped up to inquire the truth here, on the other hand, he sent people to rescue outside. As a result, the people who went out will not die, or they will be rolled back. Now someone has proposed to give up here completely."
"It's so serious that even master Wuxiang can't find out the truth. What demon dares to make trouble here." Gu Zheng is also very strange. Some said to himself in a quiet voice. No wonder he came in with this face. It's a little difficult.
"Well, in the evening, you send me the basic scriptures, and I'll show it to Lingtong. What do you think?" Gu Zheng decided to stay here for a few days and ask directly if it was necessary.
"This little thing is OK. It's just ahead. Usually, many pilgrims will specially live here to help the sacrifice, but after these things, they have gone home and are very quiet."
Here, they have come to the rows of houses next to each other. Gu Zhengzheng, the leader of qicha, came to a slightly larger room in front of them, and then hurried away.
Although this room is smaller, it has two rooms inside and outside. It seems convenient for people to sleep separately. It is also intentional.
In the evening, qicha brought some scriptures, but there was no news from master Wuxiang. It seemed that he was still treating people later.
After Gu Zheng thanked, he began to let Xiaoying look at it carefully.
"I don't want to read it. It's so boring. It's annoying to look at it." after only reading it for half an hour, Xiaoying threw the book aside and shouted.
"Why can't you read it? These are just basic scriptures. Just calm down and read it slowly." Gu Zheng picked up the book and glanced at it. It is basically used to meditate and understand the foundation of Buddhism.
"I don't want to, I want to sleep." the little Ying said stuffy, with her head buried in the brand-new bedding.
"Take a rest today and watch it tomorrow." Gu Zheng thought for a moment and didn't force her. Then he went directly into the inner room and meditated and rested.
One night speechless, Gu Zheng came out early the next morning, looked at Xiao Ying sleeping in bed, and put the book on the table again.
"Can you look at it later? It doesn't have any effect these days. I don't understand anything." Xiaoying, who couldn't fit here, raised her head and pretended to be pathetic.
"No, look at it now!" Gu Zheng said with a straight face, with a look that you have to show if you don't look at it.
Xiaoying had no choice but to float over with a sad face, sat on the only leak picking table again, looked at the spread scriptures and shouted.
"I can't understand it at all!"
"I can't understand. I can give it to you!"
Before Gu Zheng spoke, a clear voice came from the outside. Then the figure without phase pushed open the door and came in.
"I've packed up there, so I'll come to you first." Wu Xiang said with a smile at Gu Zheng without looking tired.
"I don't know how. If I can help, please don't mention it." Gu Zheng stood up to greet him.
"It's all right. He just needs to rest for a few days. You took some scriptures yesterday. It seems that you are interested in our Buddhism?" Wuxiang smiled, pointing to the scriptures on the table.
"My spirit boy is a little grumpy in recent days. Show him some scriptures to calm down." Gu Zheng pointed to Xiaoying instead.
"I don't want to learn, I don't want to learn at all." Xiaoying shook her head and expressed her dissatisfaction.
"Little benefactor, when I saw that the spirit was excellent, I saw at a glance that I felt destined for our Buddhism. Here is a string of Buddha beads. Take it with you to ensure everything smooth and beneficial." the Wuxiang hehe smiled and said like the vendor. He took out a string of Emerald Buddha beads, which reflected the green light. It was very beautiful.
Gu Zheng feels familiar when he hears such familiar words. He always feels that the Buddhist school depends on who has fate with whom.
"I don't want to, I don't want to learn!" here Xiaoying's head twisted bigger and looked very resistant.
"The Buddha beads only have the effect of meditation. Don't worry, they won't hurt you!" how can this Wuxiang not see Xiaoying's identity. Raising the Buddha beads in his hand is mainly for Gu Zheng to see and reassure him.
After a pause, Wu Xiang threw the Buddha beads forward and covered Xiaoying's head.
Xiaoying immediately flew from the bench to the side, trying to avoid the string of Buddha beads.
But the Buddha beads turned flexibly in the air. When Xiaoying saw a flower in front of her eyes and felt her neck cool, she found that the string of Buddha beads had been hung on her neck.
Originally, some broad Buddha beads are also shrinking accordingly. In the blink of an eye, they just hang around her neck, making her look more beautiful and dazzling.
"I don't want this thing, I don't want it!" Xiaoying grabbed both sides with both hands and wanted to take it down again, but she found that she couldn't take it down, as if she had been imprisoned on her neck.
The whole man ran towards Gu Zheng, shouting at the same time.
"Childe, the other party wants to catch me! Come and save me!"
Gu Zheng didn't ask Xiaoying's cry, but looked at Wu Xiang suspiciously, because the other party couldn't do it innocently.
At this time, his face was relieved, and his face was full of fatigue, which was completely different from his previous energy.
At this time, Xiaoying, who suddenly rushed towards Gu Zheng in mid air, suddenly became stiff, turned her eyes, even fainted, and her illusory appearance disappeared, revealing her true body again.
However, as the light flashed at the edge of the room, the ghost gas on Xiaoying didn't radiate out.
"Almsgiver Gu, please sit down and talk. You will know later. Don't worry. I will never hurt your spirit boy, but when the other party comes here, she is also unknowingly invaded with her special physique." the Wuxiang looked at Gu Zheng and said sincerely.
Gu Zheng nodded and took a few steps to the side, but his eyes looked at him for fear that he would take Xiaoying away.
This Wuxiang stepped forward to Xiaoying's side, grabbed Xiaoying's arm with one hand, stood up in front of her with the other hand, and solemnly began to sue on her face.
The Golden Buddha patterns continued to spit out from him, slowly gathered in front of him, and finally synthesized into a golden lotus.
The lotus flower was gently pushed by him and slowly flew over Xiaoying's head, and then didn't enter. At the same time, the green Buddha bead flashed suddenly.
The next moment, the Golden Lotus paid again on Xiaoying's head, but on the petals that were originally golden and full of Buddha light, they were soaked by black fog.
Only a small part of the whole lotus remains unchanged, emitting an evil smell.
"I didn't expect to accumulate so much in each other's body. Fortunately, it's more timely."
At this time, Wuxiang breathed a sigh of relief, loosened Xiaoying's body and waved the lotus into pieces in the air.
"Your spirit child itself belongs to the ghost spirit body. When she came into this sand sea, she had been infected. I found out yesterday that if this continues, the other party has to become a fierce ghost. There is really no cure at that time, so I made an ordinary Buddha bead overnight to suppress the evil spirit in her body."
At this time, Wu Xiang explained to Gu Zheng.
