"Is that really what they told you?"
The young man's face was surprised, but his tone was resolute and resolute, which made the stall owner involuntarily rise in awe.
"That's exactly what they said," he stammered, and a flattering smile appeared on his face again, "Childe, looking at your conversation, you should also be a prince's heir, you can also tell me, a flat-headed people, what our court wants to do, why do groups of people come here one after another to burn the street?"
” The young man glanced at him and sneered from his nose, "I'm afraid that someone has a thief's heart and has a covetous heart for things that don't belong to him." ” The stall owner was completely confused now, he didn't understand the connection between the two things, and now, when a person was involved, it was even more like falling into the clouds.
He touched his chin and stood there thinking about it for a long time, but he still couldn't sort out the mess in his head.
And the young man, while he was trying to think hard and earnestly verify, quietly flashed into the dilapidated courtyard next to him, and with a slight wave of his robe, he locked the courtyard door.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and the debris and broken tiles on the ground covered a barren well in the corner.
He looked at the mess in the courtyard and sighed, "This walk is decades, and the old mansion that hangs on my lips every day is already so dilapidated, if I come back to live temporarily in the future, what should I do?"
” Thinking of this, he pinched the trick and recited the mantra, and when his lips moved, a gust of wind flowed by, tithing the tiles on the ground one by one, but in an instant, the wind dissipated, and these things smashed to the ground one after another, making the yard even more messy.
Seeing this, he closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, opened his eyes again, and looked at his hands helplessly, "What, the spell is much more complicated than this, and I can cultivate it casually, no matter how many years of cultivation this cleaning and cleaning kung fu is, it will always not, no matter how many years of cultivation, I will go to the market in a while to find a few people to renovate this courtyard." ” At this point, he seemed to suddenly remember something, walked quickly to the west side of the courtyard near the courtyard wall, picked up a wooden stick, squatted down and dug in the muddy ground for a while, but he saw that he was about to dig three feet into the ground, but found nothing.
He tilted his head and thought for a while, then muttered, "Strange, my brother said that he buried a stone horse here when he was a child, why can't he find it?"
Was it dug up?
” Thinking so, he rolled his eyes, and a sly smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and the tips of his fingers drew a slight circle in the air, and a small stone horse appeared out of thin air, and he carefully buried it in the deep pit that he had dug out, and then he used a wooden stick to pluck it a few times to fill in the pit, and then he stood up with satisfaction, patted the soil between his palms, and walked towards the courtyard door.
The setting sun finally removed its last rays, and the entire Song Palace was shrouded in a starless night sky, making it seem more and more lonely and frightening.
A breeze blew by, blowing the lanterns hanging on the eaves of the temple to shake slightly, and even the gloomy shadow of the temple swayed with it, like a few giant beasts hiding in the darkness.
Li Guangqian, the general of the left guard in front of the palace, accompanied the monk Shihai along the ramp in the direction of the palace gate, along the way, the senior monk from the Great Xiangguo Temple was silent, did not say a word, and shook his head from time to time and sighed, as if he had encountered a rather difficult problem.
Seeing this, Li Guangqian finally couldn't help it, he bowed slightly, and asked, "Master, is there really a monster in the palace?"
That's why you're so struggling?
” Monk Shihai glanced at him, sighed deeply again, and then said softly, "Yesterday, I took my apprentices to recite the Lengyan Sutra in the Zichen Hall for a whole day, hoping to drive away demons and ward off evil spirits, and restore stability to the imperial city, but last night, there was still a palace maid who was killed by demons, it was really sad, sad."
Li Guangqian pondered for a while, and then asked Monk Shihai, "Master, what is this harmful thing?"
Do you have a judgment in mind?
” Hearing this, Monk Shi Hai's two sparse and slender white eyebrows drooped listlessly, and he shook his head and said, "The general doesn't know, it is precisely because I haven't found any trace of this thing until now, so I am very anxious in my heart."
The invisible thing is the most terrifying, the Buddha said: no phase is chaos, the sky is not the sky, the earth is not the earth, the heaven and the earth are difficult to distinguish; There is no up, no down, no up and down; There are no edges, no corners, no form.
Its whereabouts are uncertain and there is no trace to be found, so it can harm people invisibly in this huge palace city. ” Li Guangqian rolled his eyes and lowered his voice, "Master, but they all said that this thing was formed by Zhu Wen's resentment, he was killed by his own son, and he died unwillingly, so he did evil in the palace." ” Monk Shihai waved his hand again and again, "Then Zhu Wen has been dead for almost a hundred years, why didn't he come out early or late, but at this time?"
What's more, if he is really unwilling to die, then he shouldn't have found the palace city of the Great Song Dynasty, time has changed, how many dynasties have passed, didn't he find the wrong person?
” Li Guangqian grinned, "Xu is that Zhu Wen is old and confused, he has been dead for too long, and he doesn't even know what dynasty it is now." ” Hearing that he was so taboo to speak, Shi Hai's heart shrank suddenly, and he quickly recited "Amitabha" several times silently, and then accelerated his pace and walked towards the direction of the city gate.
Linhua Gate was surrounded by a hazy darkness, and from a distance, only the vague silhouettes of the guards guarding the gate and a few red lanterns on the city tower could be faintly seen.
Li Guangqian accompanied Shi Hai to the city gate, and shouted softly at the soldier standing straight on the left, "Why don't you open the door yet, what are you doing stupidly?"
Can't even General Ben recognize it?
” Hearing his shout, the soldier remained motionless, his eyes staring straight ahead, overlapping with the two equally stiff gazes on the other side.
Seeing that his subordinates did not respond to his orders at all, Li Guangqian couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and cursed a few words in his mouth, and his short and fat body slammed up, and slapped the childish face.
With a "tom", the armored body fell straight to the ground, bringing up a cloud of smoke, but his eyes were still wide open, staring at the ethereal night in the distance without blinking, like a soulless sculpture.
"General" Monk Shi Hai's voice was gently shaken by the night wind, he timidly glanced at the soldiers opposite, and walked quickly to Li Guangqian's side, "General, the two of them seem to have been sucked out of their souls."
