Chapter 24

"Hmph, you are sincere!"

Qi Jingzhi saw that this guy's life was only for a moment, but he didn't have the slightest intention of repentance, so he also snuffed out the sympathy in his heart, and asked a second question: "What's the matter with this idol in the temple?" ?”

Maybe it's because people are about to die, and they don't have the slightest scruples, the young monk opened his eyes again, but he knew everything.

"That Taoist is not all deceitful. After the little monk turned into a tiger, his five senses and state of mind changed drastically. He did have some extraordinary skills. He could see many things that were invisible before, and he could even turn dead spirits into ghosts. Come to drive it at will. A few days ago, the little monk encountered a strong enemy and escaped by chance, because the tiger skin was a little damaged, and finally recovered a little sanity."

"Relying on this sliver of wisdom, the little monk escaped from Nangang and entered this temple by mistake. At that time, the closer I got to the main hall, the more disgusted and fearful I felt, as if there was my natural enemy nemesis inside. My At that time, I hadn’t eaten a human for several days, and my human nature got the upper hand, so I came up with the idea of ​​getting rid of the tiger’s skin.”

The young monk lying in the pool of blood narrated softly, with a look of reminiscence flashing in his eyes: "So, the young monk walked into this hall without hesitation. As expected, the divine power left in the statue in this hall can indeed suppress the tiger's skin! "

"Afterwards, I suffered in this temple for several days, and the skin finally began to fade away. At this critical moment, the benefactor was attracted here by the old fox. Alas, after all, it was the little monk who committed too many crimes. Bad karma is entangled, and once the calamity arrives, there is nowhere to hide!"

Qi Jingzhi nodded and was about to speak when there was a crisp "click" sound behind him.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, countless "clicks" sounded into pieces, converging into a deafening roar.

Qi Jingzhi jumped off the altar without hesitation, and then turned around to look.

I saw countless shocking cracks appearing on the headless statue!
These are densely packed like spider webs, and the silver light that originally covered the statue flickers on and off like a candle in the wind.

The young monk also noticed the changes in the statue, his complexion changed several times, and he looked quite complicated, with regret, guilt, fear, and a trace of resentment that he tried his best to conceal.

"When the little monk found this main hall, the two hall doors were as clean as new, but they became dilapidated after just a few days, and now even the statue can't be kept! Alas, after today, this magnificent temple will be completely destroyed In the depths of the mountain. The sins committed by this little monk cannot be redeemed by ten thousand deaths!"

"Do you know which god is enshrined in this temple?" Qi Jingzhi asked immediately.

Hearing this, the young monk shook his head slowly: "Young monk, I don't know."

"Tch! The one on the altar is obviously not a Buddha or Bodhisattva, maybe he is an evil god. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed. What kind of idle mind are you, a monk?"

Qi Jingzhi didn't bother to talk to this guy any more, he just raised his head and watched the changes quietly.

In just a moment, the headless statue quickly lost its original bright color, and dense and ugly mildew spots appeared, and then it fell apart in an instant, and scattered into countless fine and rotten pieces of wood. thick layer.

"Huh? What is that?"

In the sky full of smoke and dust, Qi Jingzhi suddenly caught a long black object.

He put the sharp knife back into its scabbard, jumped onto the altar again, rummaged through the pile of rotten wood with both hands, and found a long knife with black sheath and black handle after a while.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes lit up, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, and pulled it out slowly with force.

"Zheng..."

The knife and the sheath were separated inch by inch, and there was a long and pleasant trembling sound.

The knife is more than three feet long, black and green in color, shaped like a goose feather, with scale-like dark golden textures all over the spine of the knife, the sharp edge is cold and bright, and the light can be seen.

The young man raised the saber to his eyes, took a closer look, and saw that there was a six-character inscription on the saber near the handle.

"The blue sky is high, the yellow ground is thick..."

He read aloud, then turned the blade over, and saw that there was indeed an inscription on the other side, but it was eight characters: "The moon is cold and the sun is warm, come to fry life..."

"The blue sky is high, the yellow earth is thick, the moon is cold and the sun is warm, let's fry life!"

Qi Jingzhi savored these fourteen characters carefully, and understood that it was lamenting that time is fleeting and life is short.It's just that he was just a young man, so he really didn't understand deeply, so he just read it once and didn't take it to heart.

He held the knife in his hand, and waved it casually twice, but seeing the golden scales soaring into the air and the cold light shining brightly, it was extremely smooth.

Acquiring this sharp weapon by accident, Qi Jingzhi was also a little bit happy, so excited, he casually slashed at the pile of wood in front of him.

I don't know if the blade is too sharp or the wood is really rotten, but the long knife swung down without any sense of stagnation, almost leading the unprepared boy somersault.

"It really is a good sword! You have been hidden in the idol for many years, and I couldn't wait to be born as soon as I came, which shows that our fate is not shallow!"

Qi Jingzhi read the inscription on the knife again, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "From today on, you will be called...Jian Renshou!"

After finishing speaking, the young man jumped down from the altar contentedly, and saw that the young monk had already struggled to support half of his body, and was turning his head to look in the direction of the hall door.

He had a ferocious expression on his face, and besides the horror, there was even more gnashing of hatred, and he murmured: "They are coming...they are coming..."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi frowned and asked aloud, "Who's here?"

The young monk was still staring at the direction of the hall door, and said two words with a dismal smile: "Ghost!"

"Huh? Didn't you say that they were all burned to death?"

"It's not the ordinary dead spirits driven by the little monk's transformation, it's...the real ghosts! As soon as the divine power in this hall dissipated, they found me!"

"I just praised you for your sincerity. I didn't expect you to hide a lot of tricks without saying it. You really deserve to die!"

Qi Jingzhi cursed, leaned the scabbard on the altar, held Jian Renshou in his right hand, and arrived at the entrance of the main hall after a few steps.

Under the stone steps in front of the hall, at some point, people were silently standing there.

Among them, there are those who wear official uniforms and hold official seals, those who wear Taoist robes and hold whisks, those who wear iron armor and hold steel knives, and those who wear costumes and hold pipas...

There are more than a dozen shadows, old and young, men and women, tall, short, fat and thin, but they all have dark complexions and cold expressions, and they don't look like strangers.

What is even more horrifying is that the ghosts these young monks call are actually standing in broad daylight, not to shy away from respecting this living person.

As soon as the boy with the knife appeared at the entrance of the hall, they suddenly raised their heads and looked over in unison.

Pricked by dozens of cold gazes, Qi Jingzhi's scalp tightened, and goose bumps appeared on his back.

However, soon, he keenly realized that these ghosts were not looking at himself, but the fried life in his hand.

"We are outnumbered, we must not be blocked in the hall by these ghosts!"

Qi Jingzhi settled down, stepped across the threshold without hesitation, and walked to the platform in front of the hall.

As soon as he moved, more than a dozen ghosts outside the hall also moved.

I saw them flashing to the two sides, revealing two short figures standing at the end.

They were two boys in green clothes, less than three feet in length, although their facial features and stature were human-like, they were green and full of evil spirits.

The two boys are holding a ferocious tiger skin together, the scorched black area on the back of the tiger skin is very eye-catching.

Among them, the boy holding the tiger's head said crisply: "Zen Master made it hard for us to find it!"

Another boy said: "Chan Master, come and get dressed. With this floral dress, you don't have to die. If you eat a few people, you can make up for the deficit."

The boy holding the tiger's head shook his head quickly, and said seriously: "Death is still going to die, wouldn't it be good to be able to rank with us after death?"

The other immediately echoed: "It's true, there is just a monk missing among us!"

"But his cannibalism is not enough. If he dies prematurely, we will all be punished!" The boy holding the tiger's head suddenly looked worried.

As soon as these words came out, all the ghosts trembled, obviously afraid of the so-called punishment to the bone.

The other boy was a little anxious: "What should we do? Zen Master hasn't eaten people for so many days, and he is afraid that he is going to starve to death. Where can he find living people to satisfy his hunger?"

As soon as it said this, the field suddenly fell silent.

The next moment, all the ghosts turned their heads, stared straight at Qi Jingzhi, and in unison raised the corners of their mouths, revealing stiff and strange smiles.
