I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 112 This is the title
Are they all body Buddhas?
Gu Yao grabbed Wu Shuzhu who shrank her head and hugged her chest and trembled behind her, and it took a lot of effort to make her loosen her clothes: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, what did you see?"

"Flesh Buddha, it's all inside!"

After comforting her a few times, Gu Yao approached the door and looked into the crack of the door.

It was very dark inside, only a faint light shone through the paper window, illuminating the inside.

Facing the door was a large pitch-black jar, placed on several pieces of piled wood, suspended in the air, and a golden lotus flower was painted on the altar.

On the top of the altar, there is a lotus lantern, but the candle flame has been extinguished, leaving only half a blackened red candle.

Gu Yao tried to look to the side, but he could barely see that there were other black jars around.

He withdrew his gaze and asked, "I only saw a few big black jars. Where is the body Buddha you mentioned? Why didn't I see it?"

"On the far right, there is a broken jar on the far right, and there is a Buddha in the flesh inside the jar." She grabbed Gu Yao's clothes again, "Let's get out of here, this place is so scary."

Gu Yao patted her hand, and the qi turned into a warm current and poured into her body: "Don't be afraid."

Looking over again, he swiped hard to the right, feeling that his eyes were about to turn into squints, and then he managed to see the body Buddha Wu Shuzhu was talking about.

On the far right, a piece of the upper part of a black jar was broken, and a dark golden head happened to be exposed. At first glance, it was exactly the same as the body Buddha in the Golden Buddha Hall.

But when Gu Yao took a closer look, he shuddered.

Although only the head of this flesh Buddha was exposed, his face was tense, as if he was gnashing his teeth hard, and his cheeks were bulging.

Looking straight ahead with open eyes, Gu Yao looked over like this, as if he was looking at him.

The head's expression was neither kind nor calm, but revealed a sense of madness.

At first glance, even though Gu Yao was mentally prepared, his heart paused in shock.

He retracted his gaze, took two steps back, and took a calm breath.

Seeing him like this, Wu Shuzhu stretched out his hand to caress his back and said, "Isn't it scary? There's something wrong with this temple, maybe there's something terrible about it, let's get out of here quickly, and go to Jing Yesi in Guangling Mansion. .”

After his breathing calmed down, Gu Yao used the technique of opening the secluded world, and approached the crack of the door again: "Wait for me to see it again."

Looking at the Flesh Buddha again, with Tongyou's magic, the golden color on the Flesh Buddha's body lost its color, but turned into blood red instead, covering it like a cover.

A vague soul-like existence exists, struggling and twisting in the body, as if trying to break free from it.

It's just that every time he wants to break out of the shackles of the body, a swastika will appear between the brows of the flesh Buddha to suppress it back.

In addition, the biggest peculiarity is that this body Buddha does not have the slightest sense of peace and brightness, but is full of gloom like the corpse of an ordinary person.

Gu Yao scanned the room carefully again, and looked away after finding no other abnormalities.

That should be a man-made false Buddha.

If it is said that all jars contain this thing, what is the purpose?
The Buddha in the flesh cannot deceive people.

"Let's go first, go find Xiyan, and then find out what's going on?" Gu Yao said.

"Ah? No escape?" Wu Shuzhu was disappointed.

"Like I said, there is at least a real flesh-body Buddha here. Other places may not be as safe as the Golden Buddha Hall."

The dream last night was broken and incomplete, perhaps because of the protection of the Buddha in the flesh, so I didn't fall into it.

Of course, it is also possible that it is the other way around. It is the physical Buddha who is guiding him into a dream, and wants to let him see something.

Gu Yao was thinking about the incomplete dream of last night, and at the same time thinking about the fake body Buddha just now.

Walking out of the yard, I saw two monks standing at the door holding wooden sticks.

"Masters, are you preventing outsiders from entering here?" Gu Yao asked curiously.

One of them said: "Almsgiver, this is the holy place of our temple, pilgrims and outsiders are not allowed to enter without permission."

"Then why was there no guard last night?"

"In the last month, at the end of Youshi, I will go to the Kufo Temple on the west mountain to practice, and I will come back at Mao the next day, so the benefactor did not see me last night."

"Master, what is the Kufo Temple? Why have I never heard of it before?"

The monk patiently explained: "The Kufo Temple was established 20 years ago to store scriptures and Buddhist collections. Every once in a while, young monks are asked to go to the Kufo Temple to practice. Because it is not open to pilgrims, it is not well-known. "

Gu Yao clasped his hands together and saluted, "Thank you, Master, for clarifying the confusion."

The monk returned the courtesy and said: "The benefactor is very polite. The master uncle has something to say. I will do my best to meet the three requests in the temple. By the way, the other female benefactor is eating in the fasting room at the moment. If the two of you are looking for it, follow the This road comes to an end."

Another benefactor, did you say Xi Yan?
I thought it was the Gu mother.

After Gu Yao thanked him, he took Wu Shuzhu and walked towards the fasting room.

After a closer look today, I realized that the Golden Buddha Temple is extraordinarily large, and there are extraordinarily many monks.

On this road alone, there are four courtyards, and in each courtyard, there are many monks, either practicing martial arts, or reciting scriptures, or cleaning monk's robes, doing chores.

All the way to the end, there is another row of houses.

"This row is all fasting rooms, right?" Gu Yao looked at the two rooms and said, "I don't know which room Xiyan is in."

Wu Shuzhu raised his head, sniffed his nose, pulled Gu Yao's sleeve and said, "Come with me."

Just smelling it like this, she came to a house and opened the door.

A fox was lying on its back in the middle of the table, with its round belly facing up, and its tail was helplessly sweeping across the table.

"You still have this function?" Gu Yao was surprised.

Wu Shuzhu snorted proudly: "We used to be in the mountains, because there wasn't much food, so the nose, ears and eyes were excellent."

After Gu Yao praised her for her good nose, she walked towards Xiyan: "Xiyan, why did you come here just like a fox? Are you so courageous?"

Xiyan groaned and waved his paw, not knowing what it meant.

"Eat so much?" Gu Yao couldn't understand, rubbed the fox's head, played with her ears, sat down and looked at the dishes on the table.

They are all vegetarian dishes, but the portions are large and various, and the tables are full, and many plates are already empty.

"How did you become so edible all of a sudden?" Gu Yao was a little surprised, picked up Xiyan and turned it upside down, "You're like a little pig, you can't fit it in a pot."

Xiyan groaned in dissatisfaction, and swiped his paws.

"Okay, okay, you're not a pig, you're just a fat fox."

Putting Xiyan back, he sat down with Wu Shuzhu, ate some stuff to fill his stomach, and was about to leave.

"Aren't you going?" He took two steps, but when he realized that Xiyan hadn't moved, he turned around and asked.

Xiyan shook his head, indicating that he wanted to stay here.

"why?"

There was a wave of unknown meaning.

"Okay, then you stay here, don't run around, I will come back to pick you up later, if you can't wait, go back to the place where you rested last night."

Seeing her nodding, he glanced around the room and saw a Chinese cabbage under the table, Gu Yao's eyes changed, and he pulled Wu Shuzhu away quickly.

"What's the matter? It's so urgent."

"Lu Baihou." Gu Yao said in a deep voice.

"The one who wants to arrest us and you?" Wu Shuzhu was taken aback, "How do you know?"

"A Chinese cabbage under the table was bitten twice, and Xiyan refused to leave with me."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"Then she is not very dangerous?"

"She won't be in danger if we're not here." Gu Yao took her to the main hall, where there were people coming and going, and the incense was strong.

The monks who were trembling and cursing at each other last night were all smiling now, serving the pilgrims attentively.

Gu Yao searched around and found his target at the door.

Zong Yuan was standing at the door with a smile on his face. While saying hello to the pilgrims who came in, he brought in a monk who wanted to go out and drove him back.

Seeing the monk walking back into the hall dejectedly, Gu Yao leaned over.

Before he could speak, Zong Yuan said first: "You found something wrong? Then I won't let you leave. When everything is over, think about leaving again."

As he was talking, his eyes suddenly locked on the Buddhist bead on Gu Yao's left hand: "Why did Master Uncle give you the bead?"

Gu Yao lowered his head, raised his hand, and asked tentatively, "You obviously came first?"
