Talk about the world of mortals in detail

Although this temple is small, it seems to be quite elaborate. It is not built directly with adobe, but with some adobe bricks on three sides, and the small roof is also covered with a few gray tiles.

As for why it is the Clay Bodhisattva and not the Earth God, it is because the statue in the temple is sitting cross-legged on the ground with hands clasped together.

At this moment, Chu Hang woke up Yang Bencai in the car. The two of them had already got out of the carriage and were moving their hands and feet there.

When the driver saw Yi Shuyuan observing the small temple, he also came over and joined his hands and bowed several times to the Buddha statue in the small temple next to Yi Shuyuan.

"Brother, which Bodhisattva is this?"

The coachman finished bowing before answering Yi Shuyuan.

"I don't know which Bodhisattva it is, but there are always there. I passed by to take a rest, and I paid my respects to seek peace."

Yi Shuyuan nodded. Even the dealer didn't know, so he could only be an unknown Bodhisattva for the time being.

Hui Mian also looked at Xiaomiao through Yi Shuyuan's hair and whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

"Sir, this is not an empty temple, but it is so weird."

Of course Yi Shuyuan knew about it. Although the temple was small, the Buddha statue had been consecrated by the Eight Sutras, but he didn't know who it was enshrined in.

As for the weird thing Hui Mian said, it was because there was an owner sitting in this temple, yes, sitting like this.

Ordinary Buddha statues may be related to Bodhisattvas, but few true gods sit in them. The so-called thousands of incarnations are just a way of connecting the statues, unless you are really lucky and the Dharmakaya happens to be wandering here.

But even if he saw it, Yi Shuyuan didn't want to disturb the other party. After all, the other party didn't look out at all, as if he was enshrined in the statue of a god.

"Oh, there is such a small temple over there!"

Yang Bencai's voice came, and he and Chu Hang quickly came over.

"Come, come, let's pay our respects too!"

Yang Bencai joined his hands and bowed in a very natural manner. Chu Hang imitated him and bowed along with him, muttering something to himself.

"The Lord of the Land will bless those in the barren mountains!"

"Brother Chu, this is not a Tudong. This is obviously a Buddha statue. Don't blame the Bodhisattva. Don't blame the Bodhisattva!"

Yang Bencai bowed repeatedly, and Chu Hang quickly said, "Don't blame Bodhisattva."

The coachman had finished bowing, and Yang Bencai and Chu Hang had also bowed. Yi Shuyuan was the only one standing by and doing nothing, which seemed a bit strange.

"Mr. Yi, don't you pay my respects?"

Yang Bencai asked this, and Yi Shuyuan shook his head.

"Visiting the gods and Buddhas in the temple is just for psychological comfort. If you are not virtuous enough, how can the gods and Buddhas bless you? If you are virtuous enough and have no guilt in your heart, why do you need to pray to gods and Buddhas?"

Yi Shuyuan found a reason for his behavior, and others also found it reasonable.

There are two houses over there, one is rather dilapidated, half of the roof collapsed, and the old horse that had unloaded the cart was tied up in the dilapidated house by the driver.

One room was still in good condition, but half of the door was broken, and the oil paper on the windows was all torn, but it was not a big problem to just rest for a night.

Everyone cleaned the house casually, then picked up some firewood from around, and then lit a bonfire.

Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but after the bonfire was lit, it felt like it was getting dark very quickly.

Although the weather has warmed up, it is still a bit cold at night. After all, we are at the foot of the mountain. The raising of the bonfire not only brings warmth, but also brings some sense of security.

While the driver was baking some steamed buns, he was bragging and chatting with the three guests.

"I heard that during the chaos in the past, there were many ferocious beasts in Yanshan, including jackals, tigers and leopards. I heard there were even monsters!"

Yang Bencai felt his heart tighten when he heard this, and Chu Hang was even more frightened. However, Yi Shuyuan asked with great interest.

"Oh? What kind of monster is that?"

"Well, for example, vixens, tiger spirits, and mountain ghosts!"

Yang Bencai was already superstitious, so he was shocked to hear this.

"So many? Wouldn't it be very unsafe for us?"

"That was in the past! Some people who were unlucky might have been lost if they encountered ghosts breaking through the walls when entering the mountains. Later, the imperial court vigorously implemented the campaign and invited the heavenly masters and experts from all walks of life to clean up the mountains. I and I You tell me."

The coachman spoke clearly and logically, and made up some parts that he couldn't remember.

Yi Shuyuan listened with great interest. Although the explanation was very simple, he could still imagine some things.

Some stories are not false. Monsters are difficult to deal with only when they are established. When they are not established, although they are scary to ordinary people, some warlocks and mages may not be able to get rid of them.

"Sir, isn't it the same thing that Mr. Qi did when he was young?"

Hui Mian whispered in Yi Shuyuan's ear. Yi Shuyuan's lips moved slightly, and a murmuring voice came into Hui Mian's ear and he replied.

"I don't know, but they should be from the same era."

Qi Zhongbin studied Dharma very early and went out to conquer the world at the age of 21. Dayong was relatively chaotic at that time. He already had some fame before he was thirty years old. He was named one of the heavenly masters who protect the country by Emperor Huai of Dayong decades ago. First, there is a title and a fifth rank, but no salary.

It seemed that the people at the car dealership were talkative. The driver was chatting while baking the steamed buns. After baking, he divided the steamed buns into pieces and continued talking, without even taking a sip of water.

"Booaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"""

The old horse neighed outside the yard, and the coachman stopped immediately. He stood up and walked to the door and looked at the broken house not far away. The old horse inside shook its head and snorted. He then looked at the frame of the carriage. The location is somewhat unclear.

The driver turned back to the three of them and said.

"I'm going to check on the carriages and horses. Maybe a snake has frightened the horses."

With that said, the coachman took a burning stick from the bonfire and walked out.

"A snake?"

Hui Mian cheered up and rushed out. It was so fast that no one except Yi Shuyuan noticed it.

Just now they heard the coachman talk about the mountains, but now he suddenly went out because of the noise. Chu Hang and Yang Bencai felt a little frightened, so the former asked carefully.

"Mr. Yi, is there nothing wrong? I always feel that there is a lot of negative energy."

Yi Shuyuan deliberately looked at Chu Hang with surprised eyes.

"Have you seen all this?"

"Is it really sinister?"

Yang Bencai also asked, and Yi Shuyuan grinned and shook his head.

"There's nothing sinister about it, don't scare yourself."

There is no Yin Qi, but there is some evil Qi, and it is always there. Yi Shuyuan is not referring to Hui Mian.

Outside the house, the coachman protected a little firelight with his hand. He first went to the broken house to take a look at the old horse. He looked up and down. He didn't see any snakes or insects. Then he went to the carriage and took a look. Naturally, there were no snakes or insects. What a thief.

"Oops, I forgot to feed some night grass!"

The coachman quickly took out a sack from the back of the carriage, took some fodder from it to the shabby house, and placed the fodder in front of the old horse.

"Eat, eat, let's go on the road tomorrow."

"Pfft."

The old horse snorted, lowered his head and began to eat grass.

The driver looked at it for a while, then returned to the house with the now extinguished firewood.

In the corner of the collapsed house, a little gray marten came out with a snake in its mouth. He looked up at the old horse that was eating grass, released his mouth and pressed the snake with two paws.

This snake is as thick as two adult fingers, and its overall size is much larger than that of a mink. However, it is unable to move under the pressure of its two small claws. Only its tail can flick a few times.

"Hey, is it delicious?"

Seeing that the horse was eating well, Hui Mian suddenly asked in a low voice. The old horse's body shook suddenly and he neighed in fear.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

Now the driver rushed out, shouting as he ran.

"Which bastard thief dares to steal my horse - there are quite a few of us -"

Yi Shuyuan and others also came out together afterwards. The coachman took the lead with a wooden stick in his hand. The four of them looked outside the broken house, and then circled around the courtyard, but saw no one.

The coachman breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the shabby house to check on the old horse and stroked it a few more times.

"Are you okay?"

Chu Hang asked, and the coachman smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, thank you three for coming out together!"

"Hey, brother, could you please stop being so surprised?" "Yeah, I was scared to death by you tonight!"

The coachman looked a little embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.

"It's my fault, please forgive me."

"Okay, it's okay!"

Yi Shuyuan said this, looked at Lao Ma again, and then returned to the house with the three of them.

After the four people returned to the house, Hui Mian came out again with the snake in his mouth, and the old horse's horse face was nervously pointed at the little mink in the corner.

"Can you stop being so startled? Startle me!"

Hui Mian complained, bit off the snake's head in one bite, puffed out his cheeks and chewed it in his mouth.

The old horse snorted and turned its head to the left and then to the right, with obvious surprise and uncertainty in its eyes.

Hui Mian puffed up his cheeks and held the headless but still twitching and struggling snake. The horse's head turned to the left. Hui Mian chewed it a few times and turned to look at the horse's face. The horse's head turned to the right, and Hui Mian chewed again. He turned his head several times and aimed at the horse's face.

"Gulu~"

The snake head was swallowed, and Hui Mian "crunched" another big mouthful of snake meat, chewing with his cheeks puffed out while looking at the horse.

"Creak, creak, creak, creak, creak."

Under the sound of chewing, this scene was quite funny, but the smaller one was calm and could concentrate on the meal, while the bigger one remained nervous and didn't even bother to eat.

"I understand, you've never seen other monsters, right?"

Hui Mian's voice was thin but clear. Lao Ma's eyes widened without any unnecessary reaction.

Hui Mian lowered his head and looked at the remaining half of the snake's body, and picked up the still bleeding snake's body with his claws.

"Want to try it?"

After all, after becoming a spirit, he also liked to eat vegetarian food, so Hui Mian felt that Ma Mian would definitely eat meat if he became a spirit.

"Pfft~~~"

After a snort, the horse's head shook from side to side.

Hui Mian held the snake and took another bite. It seemed that he could understand people's words, which showed that he had indeed developed intelligence.

But unfortunately, this horse probably hasn't refined its crossbones yet, so it can't speak human words at all.

Hui Mian talked to Ma for a while while eating. After finishing eating, he said hello and went back to the house, whispering in Yi Shuyuan's ear.

The night soon got late, and several people in the house, which were covered with bedding and covered with hay, fell asleep one after another, feeling peaceful and sleeping deeply.

At night, some animals deep in the mountains seem to be active.

Outside this abandoned courtyard, some animals appeared one after another, including foxes, wild deer, and bobcats. They entered the courtyard one after another and came to the vicinity of the small temple. There were also night owls flapping their wings and landing.

The old horse in the broken house easily loosened its reins and walked out of the broken house with hoofs. However, it did not go to the small temple immediately, but walked outside the intact house.

“Puff~~~~”

The old horse snorted.

After a while, Hui Mian poked a mink head out of the hole in the window and looked outside, whispering.

"Are you calling me?"

The old horse shook the reins and nodded, and Hui Mian came out of the window and jumped on the horse's head.

When the old horse arrived in front of the small temple, Hui Mian discovered that there were many small animals here, and the old horse also crawled down in an empty place, and all kinds of animals lived together peacefully.

The clay Bodhisattva in the small temple is still sitting there with his hands clasped together, as if looking out with a kind face.

After a while, some sounds seemed to appear in the small temple.

Hui Mian relaxed his mind and listened carefully, and found that they were actually some Buddhist scriptures, as if the Bodhisattva in the temple were chanting scriptures in a low voice.
