1, the polluted Buddha statue
Cold moon, no light.
The wind was very loud, and it blew into the old Buddhist temple, causing the flames on the oil lamp to sway.
A young monk with a pretty face, lowered his eyebrows and sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha statue that looked hideous because of the dimness, without saying anything, as if he had accepted his fate.
A slender figure standing in front of the young monk sucked the last breath of yang energy on the monk with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on the too-skinned almond face.
The misty woman's laughter suddenly sounded faintly in the Buddhist temple and spread out, but suddenly the howling wind sounded and no one could hear it.
Rumble!
A deafening thunder came, and the lightning light suddenly became brighter in the Buddhist temple.
The pale light shone on the beautiful almond face, and she suddenly showed a little timidity, and then she hurriedly turned around.
Suddenly, her figure was hazy, as if it was empty, and when the wind blew, it disappeared from the Buddhist temple.
I don’t know how long it took, but at the moment when the sound of rain finally sounded outside the Buddhist temple, the young monk who had been dead for a long time suddenly opened his eyes as if he was struggling!
However, looking at the scene in the Buddhist temple, the young monk who should have been used to it was at a loss at this moment.
"Shenxiu!"
His eyes were dull and muttering to himself, the pictures that kept popping up in his mind also made Yu Yan understand intermittently what was going on.
He traveled through time.
And it seems to be resurrecting the soul through corpses.
Just thinking about the scene just now, the laughter seemed to be wandering in the heart, which made Yu Yan suddenly burst out from his heart, and his body trembled.
That woman... seems to be a ghost.
"ghost?"
Yu Yan couldn't continue to calm down, there was actually a ghost here!!!
∑(?Д?ノ)ノ
And it was a ghost who ran into the Buddhist temple to harm people.
Is this ghost a bit too much? If you don’t look at the monk’s face and the Buddha’s face, his forehead will be shiny now!
But then, Yu Yan was stunned for a moment.
"What's this?"
In front of him was a broom leaning against the corner of the Buddhist temple.
This is not to be explained.
What Yu Yan was puzzled at this moment was that when he unconsciously saw the broom, a strange square bracket suddenly ran out of his field of vision.
[Broom: It is a skillful old woman, woven from bamboo branches. She wanted to sell it to subsidize her household income and buy a dose of fake medicine from a famous old quack doctor in the farm. As a result, she believed the words of her old best friend next door and sent the broom to the Buddhist temple.]
"Famous old quack doctor..."
“Fake medicine…”
"Old best friend..."
Yu Yan, who was full of complaints for a moment, subconsciously looked to the left.
There is a table.
After staring for about three seconds, a square bracket ran out and crossed his sight.
【Wooden table: plain, weathered wooden table.】
This introduction is relatively short.
However, Yu Yan finally confirmed that this was not the illusion that he had a mental illness through time and had lost his mind.
"It looks quite amazing! I'll look at something else."
Murmuring, out of curiosity, Yu Yan looked at an oil lamp on the ordinary wooden table.
[Oil lamp: The old oil lamp that has been worshipped in the Buddhist temple for many years, in addition to working diligently and hardworkingly, she also watched the 404 scenes of female ghost seducing young monks and squeezing young monks out of their minds.]
Yu Yan wanted to complain, but he felt that he should be terrified before complaining.
Then, Yu Yan thought about a question seriously: "If you throw this oil lamp away, no one will notice it, right?"
So he stood up, reached out and grabbed it, and threw the oil lamp out directly.
Bang bang!
The oil lamp spins on the floor tiles outside, and the flames go out.
This is the ending that I know too much.
Then, he turned his head and looked at the hideous Buddha statue behind him.
This person worshipped was a Bodhisattva of Heaven, but because Yu Yan was not familiar with the Bodhisattva Arhats of Buddhism, he could not recognize them.
The familiar square brackets ran out again.
【Polluted Buddha statue: The stone statue of the Emperor Rakshasa Heavenly King worshipped in Lanxing Temple has been contaminated for many years, but it has been polluted. The Buddha nature has faded and the evil nature has grown. Meditation and practice under the Buddha statue can attract ghosts to the temple.】
Yu Yan was stunned for a moment.
Then he rubbed his eyes and took a look at the Buddha statue again.
No change.
The square brackets are still the same, and the Buddha statue has not had plastic surgery, and it still looks like it is so scared that the child cannot become a Buddha.
Yu Yan opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, and he was speechless.
But he finally understood why the monk Shenxiu who was resurrected by his corpse was gone!
It turns out that this monk is not serious, but this Buddha statue is not serious!
"But, speaking of this, isn't the pressure to use Shenxiu as a magic number?" Yu Yan thought of this. He was afraid that he wanted to go to heaven with this magic number!
"Can I go to the abbot and discuss changing the magic number?" Yu Yan began to think about this possibility, and then he gave up in less than three seconds.
Because of this...no way.
When he went to find the abbot, the abbot would probably only give him a look of a fool, and then give him his usual money to ask him to see a well-known old quack doctor in the village.
Of course, the money was not given for nothing, and it had to be deducted from the annual offerings handed over to the temple at his home.
Because monks in this world, whether Taoist priests or monks, enjoy worship and do not serve as birth, the court issued a clear rule a few hundred years ago that all monks and Taoist priests must know literacy and be able to interpret Taoist Buddhist scriptures, and then they can get the monk certificate from the yamen and officially become a legal monk!
Only monks who have a monk's certificate can only eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name without having to go to the field to work, and be exempted from taxes and labor service.
Those who do not have a certificate of becoming a monk are "wild monks and scattered cultivators"!
You are not allowed to enter the temple, you cannot enter the city, or ask for sacrifices. Once you find out, you are detained in the official field for three months and then expelled. The crime will be arrested and imprisoned again, and then paraded in the streets and displayed!
This strict law directly led to... this monk became the first choice for poor families to evade taxes.
At least Yu Yan's predecessor, Shenxiu, was born like this.
His family was made by his father's fortune in his early years. Although Shenxiu was the eldest in the family, Shenxiu's father married several beautiful wives after he became rich, and these rooms all gave Shenxiu's father a fat son, which made Shenxiu's father not very fond of Shenxiu.
Because Shenxiu's mother was a rural peasant woman, Shenxiu's father always felt that this was embarrassing.
So, Shenxiu's mother was so angry that she was pissed to death by his father ten years ago.
Since then, the relationship between father and son has become extremely stiff.
Later, after hearing that his father was going to send him to Lanxing Temple to become a monk, Shenxiu, who was only eight years old at the time, agreed without hesitation.
After studying Buddhism for a period of time, he also successfully obtained a certificate of becoming a monk. Naturally, his family's fields and shops were all under his name by his father to avoid taxes.
In this way, Shenxiu ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name in Lanxing Temple, and his family handed over annual offerings every year. This money was not owned by Shenxiu, but was just a hush money his family gave to Lanxing Temple.
It's a transaction.
