Chapter 28
Chapter 28
In a package of sandalwood fragrance, Xue Qing opened his eyes in a daze.
In front of him... seems to be asleep?
His head was still dizzy, but his whole body was so comfortable that Xue Qing could fall asleep immediately after closing his eyes.
only……
Xue Qing found something wrong with the scene in front of him.
This pillow was not the soft pillow he was used to, but rather hard and warm.
He moved his head, and his dazed eyes saw the upper jaw.
Only then did Xue Qing realize something was wrong.
Fa Hai is sitting cross-legged in meditation.
And his head was leaning on Fa Hai's lap!
Xue Qing's head was still in a daze, but he wanted to get up when he moved his body.
His actions startled Fa Hai who was still meditating.
In the sandalwood fragrance, warm palms touched his head and stroked his hair gently.
"Sleep with peace of mind," Fa Hai said.
I don't know if he was soothed by these words, Xue Qing, who was already confused, gradually slowed down his struggling movements.
Xue Qing unconsciously rubbed his head against the palm of his hand, and slowly fell asleep again.
After falling asleep this time, Xue Qing had the same dream as last time again.
Just the scene is a little different.
This time the location was a study room, and the ghost judge was flipping through the book with a pen, but he didn't seem to notice Xue Qing who suddenly appeared.
"Hello." Xue Qing took the initiative to greet.
He knew he was dreaming again.
Hearing the sound suddenly, the ghost judge was obviously taken aback and stood up abruptly from the chair.
His eyes were wide open, and the whites of his eyes stood out against his dark face.
It seemed that he was about to throw out the book of life and death in his hand.
After discovering that it was Xue Qing, the ghost judge hurriedly stroked his frightened heart.
"Why are you?!" The ghost judge blew his beard and stared.
"I don't know either." Xue Qing spread his hands helplessly, expressing his innocence.
"However..." Xue Qing thought of the unfinished words of the ghost judge last time, "You said before, what kind of favor do you want me to repay?"
"Did I say that?" The ghost judge turned around and turned his back to Xue Qing.
The ghost judge really remembered, but seeing his appearance, he didn't know why he suddenly refused to say it.
Xue Qing took a step forward, stood in front of the ghost judge, quickly reached out and took the pen from the ghost judge's hand.
This brush is probably some kind of artifact, it looks like an ordinary brush, but the hairs on the tip of the brush can produce ink automatically without dipping it in ink.
Curiously, Xue Qing drew a line on his palm with a pen, and the trace of pen and ink disappeared after he took the pen away.
"Hey?! You kid, what are you doing!"
The ghost judge was afraid that Xue Qing would snatch the book of life and death from him, so he tightly covered the book, "Give me back the pen."
"You can return the pen." Xue Qing approached the ghost judge, "You have to make it clear what you said last time."
The ghost judge in the dream last time was sitting high above the lobby, and with that black face, he looked extremely majestic.
But looking at it now, if it weren't for that dark face that was too special, the ghost judge would look like a little old man, even two heads shorter than Xue Qing.
Now standing face to face, the ghost judge felt that his aura was greatly shortened.
"Hmph!" Xue Qing was so angry that the ghost judge paced twice with his hands behind his back.
"Huh?" The ghost judge suddenly stopped, and began to look up at Xue Qing, "The last time I saw you, your soul was unstable, why suddenly..."
The ghost judge stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"What happened suddenly?"
This ghost judge always likes to play riddles, Xue Qing couldn't help being nervous because of his tone, he held his breath to ask.
"A lot more stable..."
The ghost judge slowly added.
Xue Qing almost lost his breath. Don't pant when you speak!Really tense.
"But what secret method was used?" Ghost Judge asked.
Xue Qing couldn't think of it for a while, but he thought of the weird experience he had in the back mountain of Lingyin Temple.
After listening to Xue Qing's description, the ghost judge pondered for a while.
"The boulder engraved with runes, surrounded by blood and soil..."
"This is the method of fixing the soul, someone helped you."
Now Xue Qing was stunned.
If that matter is still bad, it is in line with his unlucky physique all the time.
But that weird boulder actually helped him fix his soul.
Xue Qing was puzzled, who was helping in the dark?
He couldn't think of anyone other than Xue Bai Wushuang.
But Xue Bai and Wushuang don't seem to be able to set up such a wicked formation.
Well, luckily it's not a bad thing.
Asked again and again whether there are any side effects, after getting a negative answer.
Xue Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that the scene at that time was really weird.
Besides, he was a monster in this Lingyin Temple, surrounded by monster hunters, and he didn't know who to tell.
Fortunately, he can go back in two days.
After leaving the temple, he and his sister will search for this mysterious person.
"So who did you repay your kindness in the first place?"
Xue Qing hasn't forgotten what he wanted to ask.
"I thought you should be clear about the kindness you owe yourself."
The ghost judge didn't answer directly.
"Who did you mean by 'that'?"
He clearly remembered the words that the ghost judge said to himself after he checked the manual in his hand.
At that time, the ghost judge muttered to himself probably "how could he have anything to do with that person".
"Did you hear that?" The ghost judge was shocked, his beard twitched twice.
The ghost judge really didn't have a good memory. At that time, he not only heard it, but also asked him directly, but the ghost judge still didn't answer him.
"I can't say, think about it for yourself. You'd better repay your kindness, otherwise you will owe too much when you come down, and you won't be able to pay it back in several lifetimes. But before that..."
The ghost judge turned his head, "Give me back the pen."
"It's okay to give me a hint." Xue Qing bargained.
"All right." Ghost Judge mercifully agreed, "I'll give you a hint."
Xue Qing nodded, waiting expectantly for the ghost judge's prompt.
"He has no hair."
Xue Qing: ...
All right, needless to say, he knows who it is.
Xue Qing returned the pen to the ghost judge very honestly.
"Don't tell anyone I told you."
The ghost judge put away the pen and said mysteriously.
Seeing Xue Qing nodding, the ghost judge turned the brush.
Before Xue Qing could react, the ghost judge tapped the end of the brush on Xue Qing's head.
"Wake up!"
Then Xue Qing woke up.
The first thing I saw was Fa Hai meditating on the futon.
Only then did Xue Qing realize something was wrong.
It turned out that he was actually in Fahai's meditation room now.
That's right, he was treated in Fahai yesterday.
only……
Why can't he remember when he fell asleep on Fahai's bed?
Xue Qing suddenly sat up from the bed.
He fell asleep during the healing yesterday, so Fa Hai moved him to the bed.
Fahai is still quite cold-hearted.
Indeed, as the ghost judge said, he should return some favors.
But he is a monster, and he wants to repay the kindness of a monster catcher.
It is really difficult to cover myself to prevent Fahai from knowing that I am a demon.
There is already a vegetarian meal on the table, probably a ready breakfast.
He is now in Fahai's room, and these estimates were prepared by Fahai.
Xue Qing got out of bed to wash up and was about to leave.
He heard Fa Hai, who was meditating on the futon, say, "Let's go after eating."
"This is your share."
Facing the phoenix eyes, Xue Qing hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Then sat down to eat.
It's just that I'm still thinking about what the ghost judge said.
Suddenly someone knocked on the door.
It's Ale.
Ah Le is about to come to Fa Hai to recite his homework.
As soon as he came in, he found that Xue Qing was also here.
Those big eyes lit up instantly, "Master!"
He was about to rush over when he was restrained by Fahai.
"Ale." Fa Hai warned in a deep voice, "I have told you many times."
A Le had to lower his head, "Benefactor Xue."
"Don't bother Master Xue anymore."
This was the first time Xue Qing saw Fa Hai looking so serious.
Even Xue Qing, a bystander, could feel the oppression.
It's rare to see this little overlord look so peaceful.
Now it seems that Fa Hai's words are the most effective for Ale.
If he had known this, he might as well have gone to Fa Hai and asked Fa Hai to help correct this little boy, A Le.
It's a good thing he endured so many screams from his wife.
And to appease this little brat... said those shameful words!
Outrageous.
Xue Qing silently put down his chopsticks.
Seeing the way the little devil lowered his head at the moment, Xue Qing couldn't bear it.
Xue Qing left after finishing his meal. He walked out of Fa Hai Meditation Room a few steps, when he heard someone calling him from behind.
"Master..." Seeing Xue Qing turned his head, Ale corrected him in a low voice, "Benefactor Xue."
"Can A Le still call the benefactor and the teacher's wife? A Le can call secretly."
The little Douding grabbed his sleeve nervously, "Don't hate Ale."
Xue Qing knelt down and looked directly at A Le, and sighed helplessly, "I have told you many times, but..."
"A Le knows all about it." A Le stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, "It's just that A Le thought about whether the benefactor would really become A Le's mistress..."
"Why do you want me to be Ah Le's mistress?" Xue Qing asked.
"Because Ale likes the donor, Ale knows that you are leaving, just like Dabao.
If the benefactor is Ah Le's wife, you won't be leaving in a few days..."
A Le choked again when he said this, "A Le will be alone by then."
Dabao is the son of a noble family, he came to Lingyin Temple to stay and recuperate for a few days, I heard that he left the temple yesterday.
No wonder the kid Ale hasn't come to him these days.
I guess I'm hiding and crying somewhere.
Xue Qing touched A Le's bald head: "I can come and play with you after I leave."
Xue Qing actually knew that A Le was a little like him when he was young.
Both of Ale's parents died when he was young.
There is only one master.
Fa Hai has always been used to being cold-hearted and cold-hearted. He was still a teenager at the time, so how could he take good care of this child.
Ale and Xue Qing were a little different when they were young.
Little Xue Qing was always sick because of her weak body since she was a child. She always stayed quietly and spent time by herself quietly.
He is always used to being ignored, and would rather suffer a loss than cause trouble to others.
But Ah Le was the complete opposite, walking to the other end instead, rolling around like a baby.
Not as quiet as Xue Qing, but the one who cries the loudest.
It seems that others will see him, comfort him, and give him a hug.
But sometimes things backfire.
Children just need love.
Xue Qing gave A Le a hug.
"I can be your brother, and I can often come to Ale to play in the future."
"Brother?" A Le was puzzled, he looked suspiciously at the skirt Xue Qing was wearing with his big eyes, "Could it be...?"
Xue Qing: ...
He almost forgot that he was wearing women's clothes.
"Could it be that my brother has a female body and a male heart?" A Le felt that he understood, "It's no wonder that I have to want to be A Le's wife, so it's not because I'm being stubborn."
Xue Qing is a little confused now.
Tell A Le that he is actually a man, he is worried.
Let A Le change his name to call him sister, and he can't get over the hurdle in his heart.
This is also... too weird.
When Xue Qing was silent, A Le took the initiative to speak.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
"Brother will come and see A Le more often."
Under the sun, Xue Qing and Ale made a hook.
It's just that Xue Qing still has no idea about repaying his favor.
Back in the courtyard, Xue Qing thought of the two koi who claimed to know everything about Lingyin Temple.
He thought for a long time but couldn't think of how he could repay the favor.
On the contrary, he himself tends to make trouble for others.
At this moment, I would like to ask Mr. Koi, hoping to help.
After listening to Xue Qing's question, the red koi stared at Xue Qing suspiciously.
It really looks like this.
Xue Qing poked the head of the red carp to express his urging.
The red carp waved its tail and said proudly: "There is nothing in the entire Lingyin Temple that we two carp don't know!"
Then, under Xue Qing's expectant eyes, Red Carp said the answer.
"I think Master Fa Hai needs a warm hug!"
Really can't believe this fat fish.
Xue Qing was about to turn his head and leave when he heard Jin Li's request to stay: "Wait! Listen to my explanation!"
He wanted to see what outrageous explanation the red koi had.
Seeing that Xue Qing came back again, the red koi happily swam back and forth before starting its analysis.
"Young demon, don't disbelieve my lord."
"As far as I know, the colder a person is, the more he longs for warmth in his heart.
Master Fa Hai must be the same.Giving him a sudden warm hug is better than any panacea. "
Xue Qing: "...Are you sure you didn't fool me?"
Is this koi really fooling him into being a fool?
Do you think people are fools if you don't get angry?
The red koi was waiting to be praised, when it felt its head being poked, it sank a bit.
When it came up slowly, it found that Xue Qing was no longer by the pool.
Xue Qing actually left.
The red koi was puzzled and the eyes of the golden carp next to it were eye to eye.
Red Koi: "Did I say something wrong?"
Golden Carp: "What you said makes sense."
The red koi swung its tail proudly: "My lord thinks so too! He really doesn't understand my wisdom!"
The golden carp flattered: "What the lord said is, we don't care about him~" The two fat fish swung their tails together and swam towards the center of the pond.
Xue Qing returned to the Zen room, feeling irritable, unable to read even after turning through two pages of the scriptures.
He looked out at the blue sky through the window and watched the birds fly by one by one.
I don't know how my sister is doing now?How far has Xu Xuan developed.
Just thinking about it, he saw a pigeon outside the house landed in front of his window.
"Is it Xue Qing?"
The pigeon made a noise, and a note was tied to its paw.
"it's me."
Xue Qing didn't know why the pigeon came, but it seemed that it had something to do with him.
The pigeon motioned for him to remove the strip of paper tied to the paw.
Xue Qing opened it cooperatively.
There are eight big characters written on it.
"My brother Qingqing, I miss you very much."
It really is my sister.
As soon as Xue Qing finished reading this paragraph, the note spontaneously ignited.
"I didn't recognize the wrong person."
Pigeon nodded in satisfaction, and began to introduce herself, "I'm a mechanical pigeon from Tianji Pavilion, and I'm here to pass on a message to your sister."
"Mechanical?" Xue Qing looked at the mechanical pigeon in front of him, which was no different from ordinary pigeons, and couldn't help touching it curiously.
The feather is soft to the touch, and the touch is the same as that of a real pigeon, even the warm animal body temperature is the same.
It's too bullshit.
I didn't expect such fantastic things to exist here.
Xue Qing couldn't help touching it a few more times.
The mechanical pigeon jumped out of Xue Qing's claws expressionlessly, "Please respect yourself."
"Next, I will convey to you the content of Xue Bai's speech."
"Di——" the emotionless voice of the mechanical pigeon changed into a female voice after the "di" sound—the same as Xue Bai's voice.
Like a modern voice bar.
What Xue Bai said earlier was mainly some inquiries and greetings about Xue Qing's recent situation.
"Xiaoqing, I'm Xue Bai, I don't know how you are doing recently.
I was always uneasy, so I deliberately borrowed this spiritual weapon from Xiang Qu to pass on some words to him.
Those monks didn't bully you, did they?If you are wronged, you must tell this little bird and let it bring me a message.
How's the detox going?Can you get used to the fast food in Lingyin Temple?
If there is anything you want, you can also tell Xiaoniao, and I can let him bring it together. "
Speaking of this, Xue Bai's tone changed, "This bird is very useful, as expected of Tianji Pavilion, there are many good things.
My relationship with Xu Lang is progressing very smoothly, I will tell you about it when you come back, there are many things worth talking about hehehe.
I just said, once I, Xue Bai, make a move, no one can escape. "
Xue Qing leaned against the window and listened to the words coming from the body of the mechanical pigeon.
Although Xue Bai was not in front of him, he still couldn't help but nodded in agreement with what he heard and opened his eyes wide in surprise.
What Xue Bai said afterwards shocked Xue Qing even more.
"The black snake you told me about earlier, I have already found him.
When I fought against him that day, it was true that he was born as an evil cultivator, and his demonic power was extraordinary.
Actually relying on these evil ways to transform Jiao.
Fortunately, I was better and called a helper.
Punched and kicked him hard.
It's just that the black snake was full of tricks, and somehow escaped.
I pulled his tendons, even if he cultivates well, he can only become a useless demon who can only transform into form. "
My sister actually fought against the Black Snake?Xue Qing became nervous when he heard it.
I don't know if my sister was injured by the black snake.
But fortunately, Black Snake ended up with such an ending, so he lost a big worry.
"I heard that Lingyin Temple is very effective in seeking marriage. There is also a three-life stone. If Qingqing has a chance, can you please ask me for a marriage lottery with Xu Lang. If it is dangerous, forget it.
I also found some secret methods of cultivation for you... Why is the time for a stick of incense coming soon! ?Can Tianji Pavilion make the recording time longer? I didn't even say—" "D——" Xue Bai's speech stopped abruptly afterwards.
After the "beep", it turned into silence.
Then, the mechanical pigeon's eyes turned around, showing vivid pupil light again.
"The above is the content to be conveyed this time. Is there anything Xue Qing needs to be conveyed by Ben Gu?"
"Yes." Xue Qing hurriedly replied, for fear that the mechanical pigeon would not be able to pass the message if the answer was too late.
"Please click on the top of the pigeon's noble head to start recording. The longest recording time is one stick of incense."
It was said that Xue Qing touched the top of the pigeon's head tentatively, and sure enough there was a touch like a button.
Xue Qing pressed it, and the mechanical pigeon cocked its tail.
"Start recording after the beep."
"Drip——" Xue Qing also greeted her sister a few words, and told her that everything was fine, and told her about what happened on the back mountain and the ghost judge in the dream.
I hope that the well-informed sister can give him some advice and direction.
At the end of the story, the eyes of the mechanical pigeon began to flash red, indicating that the time was coming to an end.
Xue Qing hesitated for a moment, but still asked his sister if he could ask the mechanical pigeon to bring him a wound medicine to treat the trauma.
After the recording ended, the mechanical pigeon nodded to Xue Qing to say goodbye.
Xue Qing specifically inquired about where one could ask for a lottery, but fearing that there would be too many people in the temple, Xue Qing waited until the time when the temple was about to close its doors to thank visitors, and went to the place where the lottery was asked for in Lingyin Temple.
There were indeed a lot fewer people in the temple at the moment, and Xue Qing didn't meet many people along the way.
But I still hope that someone can give him a solution.
However, as soon as he entered the door, Xue Qing's footsteps stopped.
Hearing the sound of someone coming in, the monk who was meditating aside opened his eyes.
Those phoenix eyes seemed to be able to easily see through his intentions every time.
"Ask for a signature?"
Xue Qing nodded.
Fahai stood up and went to fetch three sticks of incense for him.
"I'm asking for a marriage lottery," Xue Qing said.
Hearing Xue Qing's words, Fa Hai's movements stopped slightly for a moment, as if it was a slight illusion.
This is Xue Qing's first request for a lottery.
He listened to Fa Hai's guidance, respectfully kneeled on the futon, kowtowed a few times, and put three sticks of incense on the Buddha statue.
Fa Hai handed him the prayer wheel.
Xue Qing held the heavy scripture tube with both hands and was about to shake the lotus.
I felt that my arm was lifted up by Fahai's palm.
"The prayer wheel is slightly higher than the top of the head."
According to Xue Qing's words, she held the prayer wheel slightly higher than the top of her head.
He closed his eyes reverently.
"Think about what you want."
Buddha, can you tell me how is the relationship between sister Xue Bai and Xu Xuan?
"Shake the sign."
Xue Qing shook the prayer wheel.
The scent of sandalwood hits the back.
Fahai did not know when he stood behind him.
He could even feel the cold gaze falling on him.
Paused by the sudden sense of oppression, Xue Qing lost his grip on the sutra tube, and several sutra sticks inside fell out.
Xue Qing reached out to pick up the few sticks that fell down.
Behind him was the sound of shallow breathing.
"concentrate."
said the person behind.
Xue Qing's back stiffened uncomfortably.
This time he really looked clumsy.
Annoyed, he put the scripture stick back into the scripture tube, and Xue Qing raised the scripture tube over his head again.
The face of the Buddha statue in front of him is compassionate and solemn.
Xue Qing closed her eyes.
The scent of incense candles in the Buddhist hall calms the mind, and Xue Qing's heart gradually calms down.
Only the sound of shaking the sutra can be heard.
"Pa-ta--" a stick fell out of the scripture tube and landed on the ground.
Xue Qing opened his eyes, bowed to the Buddha statue again, and then reached out to pick up the stick.
The lottery was won, and the signed text was: "Join the copper torii gate under the rock, and you must return his husband; whoever picks up the scheme will get it, and there is no one who can travel the world." [Note 1]
Win the lottery?
Xue Qing raised his eyebrows in surprise.
I couldn't help but feel a little worried because of this, and I couldn't understand what the signature meant.
Xue Qing handed the lottery to Fahai, "Master Fahai, please help me to untie the lottery."
Fa Hai took the signature, scanned the words with his eyes, and only asked one sentence.
"Does the donor ask for himself or for others?"
"It's for my sister." Xue Qing explained.
"The meaning of signing the letter requires hardships to show your sincerity. This relationship may be destroyed by external forces.
If two people work hand in hand, they can overcome difficulties and form a good relationship forever. "
Damaged by external forces.
If it's the external damage mentioned in the legend, it's probably realgar wine, and...
Xue Qing looked at Fa Hai beside him.
It met the pair of phoenix eyes that were staring at him.
"Don't the benefactor ask for a lottery for himself?"
Fa Hai put the stick into the prayer wheel and asked him.
Xue Qing was indeed a little curious, but he still thought it was fine.
According to his luck, nine out of ten he will get a lottery. At that time, he will feel uneasy because of this lottery, and he will be tied up in doing things.
In order to avoid this possibility, Xue Qing decided not to draw lots at all, so that he had less worries.
but……
"Will Master Fa Hai ask for a lottery for himself?"
Xue Qing was really curious.
Fa Hai put the sutra tube back to its original position, "It is difficult for those who undo the lottery to find their own destiny."
Hidden in the darkness, this monk in cassock always makes people feel a kind of loneliness on top of thousands of mountains.
It seems to be isolated from the world forever.
Maybe what the koi said really made sense, the more lonely and cold a person is, the more he needs a warm hug.
There are patches of magnificent rays of light floating in the sky outside the door of the Buddhist hall.
When the sunset light falls on the face of the Buddha statue, it shows a more gilded brilliance, solemn and solemn.
Xue Qing followed Fa Hai's gaze and looked out together.
"The flowers of the Sala tree in Lingyin Temple are about to bloom."
Fahai said.
