Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 192 Musk
Li Xiuyuan looked at the dense swarm of wronged souls in the shadow, and after the shock in his heart faded, an inexplicable anger greeted him.

It is absolutely impossible for so many innocent souls to appear here for no reason, there must be a reason.

As for the reason, no matter what it is, it has nothing to do with the Guanyin Temple.

If it is a normal temple, although there are graves, there are absolutely no ghosts, because the eminent monks in the temple will chant sutras to save the ghosts, so the temple is the place where ghosts least haunt, unless the temple is in decline, the statues are collapsed, and the incense is not there. Now, there is no way for the gods to appear, and it is another matter that the temple is occupied by demons and ghosts.

But with such a prosperous incense in the Guanyin Temple, it is absolutely impossible for wronged souls to appear.

That is, if Avalokitesvara appeared, these souls would definitely be saved.

And if this happens now, there is only one possibility.

There are evil spirits and demons who use the name of Avalokitesvara to deceive the people, hide filth and kill people.

Only in this way can it be explained why there are ghosts everywhere in the Guanyin Temple where the incense is so prosperous.

This is still in broad daylight. If it is at night, Li Xiuyuan feels that there are probably more ghosts here than in the mass graves. This is not a temple, it's like a ghost town.

The thoughts in his mind turned sharply, and he made up his mind at this moment, he must check the situation in this temple today.

If there are really evil spirits and demons harming people here, Li Xiuyuan will definitely not let it go today.

"Young master, what's so interesting about this release pond, there are only a group of small fish there, why don't you go to other places." The guard was a little curious when he saw his young master staring at the release pond.

Looking along the line of sight, it was just a group of small fish gathering in the shadows, and there was nothing special about it.

Li Xiuyuan held back everything in his heart, calmed down, looked away from the dense group of innocent souls, then looked at the nun and said: "Master, the Guanyin Temple should be more than this big, why are there only a few buildings? Could it be that there are some places where the teacher is inconvenient to open for us to see? When I first came to Hua County, I heard people say that this Guanyin Temple is worth visiting, can the teacher let me go elsewhere."

The nun's expression moved, and she smiled: "Young master misunderstood, poor nun and young master, tell the truth, this Guanyin Temple is indeed more than this big, there is a garden behind it, and there is a Buddhist hall inside, but that does not belong to the temple, it is someone else's." It was funded and built only for the convenience of worshiping the Buddha, so it is just attached to the Guanyin Temple, if the young master wants to go there for fun, the poor nun needs to ask the owner there for instructions."

Li Xiuyuan saluted immediately and said: "Then Master Lao will ask the master there for me."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." The nun said with a smile: "But it will take a while, the young master might as well go to the Zen room and sit for a while, and wait for the poor nun to ask the master there before replying to the young master."

"It's too much trouble for the teacher." Li Xiuyuan nodded.

The nun took Li Xiuyuan to a meditation room, motioned for a few moments to wait, and then left.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, but after the nun left, he looked at the meditation room again.

It is indeed like an ordinary monastery. The meditation room is plain and simple, without any noteworthy places. It is only suitable for quiet cultivation, and it is a bit inconvenient to live in. It seems that this is indeed a serious place to become a monk.

However, in this place where everything seems to be very normal, the release pool is full of unjust souls.

Recalling the previous situation, Li Xiuyuan's heart sank.

No matter how long the nun had been gone, at this time, another little nun walked in holding tea with her head bowed, without saying a word, she just brought tea, lit the incense in the incense burner, and then left.

"Thank you, little master." Li Xiuyuan said politely out of courtesy.

The little nun paused, raised her head slightly and glanced at Li Xiuyuan, with a smile on her face, she seemed a little happy.

But after the little nun left the meditation room, Li Xiuyuan couldn't see that the little nun was still smiling. This smile seemed to have become a normal expression. At first glance, it made people feel happy, but after a long time After that, it made people feel a little apprehensive.

"It's too rare to be a nun at a young age." The guard muttered.

Another guard next to him said again: "Maybe they are orphans. More and more people have become monks in the past ten years or so."

"Be prepared to stay up all night tonight. This temple is weird. If I can't find out why during the day, I will continue to investigate at night." Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.

"Master, what's weird in this temple? Why didn't you see it?" the guard said.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Of course you can't see the weirdness in this temple with your naked eyes, but you should be able to find some things. Don't you think that the statue of Songzi Guanyin is too luxurious? The three-foot-high statue The gods are all made of gold, silver and copper. The people of Hua County live in poverty and are not rich. It is unknown how many families will spend their money to build such a statue. It is our Li family who want to cast such a statue, at least It will also cost 10 taels of silver. And it’s only counting the statues, not counting the others.”

"Young master, do you mean that the idol is made of gold and silver?" The eyes of the two guards lit up when they heard this, "It's so extravagant, and I'm not afraid of being attacked by bandits."

"If you can attract thieves and bandits, you would have already attracted them. Is it easy to take things from ghosts and gods? There will be retribution." Li Xiuyuan shook his head slightly.

He didn't believe that there were no ghosts and gods entrenched in this Guanyin Temple.

The two guards were immediately discouraged when they heard this.

This white silver is placed in front of my eyes, and I kneel down every day, and it is said that anyone will be moved.

"Hey, why does it smell so good?" Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

"It was the little nun who lit the incense just now," the guard said.

Li Xiuyuan sniffed it again, frowned immediately and said: "It's not incense, it smells like musk. I've smelled it in the medicine storehouse at home. How can such a small meditation room be so extravagantly ignited? It seems that this is treating us as honored guests, but if they treat us so relentlessly, I'm afraid they have some other motives."

After speaking, he looked at the simple meditation room again, and it was really all superficial work, but this piece of musk alone is worth several taels of silver.

"Eldest young master, do you want to go around the temple and see the situation?" the guard asked with a suppressed voice.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a while and said, "No need, you can't find out why it happened, even if you found a clue, you wouldn't be able to see it with your eyes."

The two guards responded and also turned off their thoughts.

Li Xiuyuan was afraid that some ghosts and ghosts in this temple would kill them too.

So guarding by his side is not only protecting himself, but also protecting them.

After sitting still for a while.

Suddenly, the two guards seemed to have discovered something, and said in a low voice, "Who is it?"

A sneaky figure seemed to flash by near the window, and the two guards rushed out immediately, trying to catch the figure.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes were fixed, he felt that something was wrong, immediately impatiently sat down, got up and wanted to go to have a look.

"Keep your son waiting, the poor nun is here." At this moment, the nun's voice sounded outside the door.

Li Xiuyuan stopped, and then saw a woman in plain clothes walking in.

However, the woman's attire was completely different from before.

The woman was wearing plain clothes and a cloth hat before, and she was dressed like a nun.

But at this moment, she is not wearing a cloth cap, but is wearing a woman's hair bun. Although she is wearing plain clothes, but the skirts are open, revealing a pink bellyband. Looking again, there is a nun who abides by the rules and precepts, but she is just a mature and charming woman in plain clothes.

Under such a big contrast, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

At this moment, the beautiful woman entered the meditation room with a smile on her face, but she closed the door with her backhand, and the room became much darker.

"Master, what are you doing?" Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice.

"The young master still calls the slave family's teacher? Could it be that seeing the slave family wearing plain clothes, you really think that the slave family has become a monk?"

The beautiful woman smiled and said: "My family sees that the young master is magnificent and handsome, and his heart has already secretly agreed with him. I would like to recommend myself to be a pillow mat, and accompany the young master to have a good time."

After speaking, he took a step, twisted his waist and greeted him.

"It seems that the teacher didn't go to visit the master there for me before, but went to dress up." Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

"Young master, don't you like this dress of the slave family?" The gorgeous woman lightly unbuttoned her plain clothes, revealing her fair skin, with a charming smile on her face.

Li Xiuyuan was unmoved in his heart, but he felt the energy and blood in his body boil, and he seemed to be angry. Suddenly, he looked at the green smoke rising from the copper stove next to him, and immediately recalled the knowledge of pharmacology that he had learned before.

Musk, aphrodisiac.

"So that's it. I just said that there is no such good thing in the world, and there are beautiful women who will throw themselves into your arms just by going out."

Li Xiuyuan smiled coldly: "It turns out that he has been eyeing me for a long time, and set a trap here."

"Young master, what do you say, the slave family doesn't understand anything, I just hope that today, the master will not disappoint the slave family's wishes."

The beautiful woman begged with a bit of pleading, her expression could really make even a hard-hearted man's heart move.

And speaking, he actively leaned towards Li Xiuyuan.

"What do you have in mind, but you are approaching me with a purpose, don't show off in front of me, this little trick is useless to me." Li Xiuyuan took a slight breath, and the blood in his body immediately calmed down.

He is a master of martial arts. People who practice martial arts transfer energy and blood, and mobilizing energy is the most basic.

As long as there are no evil thoughts in your mind, you will not be controlled by your body's instincts.

Immediately he pushed the woman away and left the meditation room quickly.

But when he pulled the door, he found that the door of the meditation room had been locked, and there was a sound of copper locks shaking outside.

Sure enough, he came prepared.

"Humph."

Li Xiuyuan snorted heavily, and with a sudden force on his palm, the wooden door in front of him exploded with a bang.
