It Turned Me Into a Ghost Chapter 6

Elias didn't raise her head to look, but raised the candied haws that was still firmly in her hand, biting it off and eating it one by one. As early as the end of the world, he had developed "the habit of overeating when frightened." Only the feeling of fullness could help him suppress the fear that his life was hanging by a thread. In the last days, nothing is more precious than food and water.

However, he had already licked the maltose on the surface of the candied haws, and now there were only a few half-cooked hawthorns left. After chewing them, the sour taste almost made him cry. He immediately covered his cheeks, rubbed them hard a few times, then stretched his neck and swallowed the sour pulp into his stomach bit by bit, and then let out a long breath.

After eating, the fear disappeared like a bubble. Only then did Elias raise her head and look at the young man in front of her carefully. The other party's appearance is extremely outstanding, and he has a noble temperament that is different from ordinary people. At this moment, he was squinting his long and narrow phoenix eyes, staring at himself with a strange expression.

"Are you okay?" the boy asked again.

"I'm fine, thank you." Elias wiped the snow particles off her face and held her hands over the boy.

"Thank me for what?" The young man's tone was slightly confused.

"Thank you anyway." Elias didn't want to publicize that she was haunted by a ghost, so she didn't say much. When the ghost left, he mentioned "Purple Dragon Qi". The so-called Dragon Qi was supposed to be something only emperors had, and could resist all evil things in the world. But here, he and the young man were the only two people with purple Dragon Qi. It’s self-evident who it is.

In other words, this young man was his savior. If the other party hadn't arrived at the right time, he would have been killed by the ghost just now. This body is supposed to be that of a ghost? Already on the fate of the Lord of Hell? ridiculous! Everything comes first. Elias slept in her mother's womb for ten months. When she was born, the evil spirit came late and wanted to seize the body. How come this body became his? Thinking of this, a murderous intention flashed across Elias's eyes. Although he is emotionally indifferent and extremely quiet, he has been struggling in the apocalypse for six years, so he is not a good person. Now he has nothing to do with the devil, but that doesn't mean that he won't be able to do anything to him in the future.

The boy wanted to ask again, but Elias had already wiped the snow foam off her head and face, and staggered away, still holding the bamboo skewer used to skewer candied haws.

"That's weird." The young man shook his head and walked away.

Elias walked to the open space in front of the hall. Cassidy Bai had hung up the lucky bag and was looking around anxiously. When she saw him coming, she hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Master, where did you go just now? You made this slave so anxious! Ah, you Why are your hair and clothes wet? You must be naughty, right? Let me take you to the kitchen to dry them."

Cassidy Bai bought some roasted sweet potatoes from the fire-headed monk for the young master to eat, then took off his outer robe, propped it up by the stove fire with a wooden stick, and wrapped the young master's thin body with his own jacket. As long as she had something to eat, Elias would be particularly quiet, nibbling sweet sweet potatoes, and intentionally or unintentionally asked the fire-headed monk about the origins of the noble young man, and learned that he was currently living in Kaiyuan Temple to lead cultivation. I had an idea in my mind.

About half an hour later, Song's mother came over with a basket of incense candles and said happily. "Okay, I'll give you the longevity tablets for the young master, and come here from time to time to add money for the sesame oil. Then the young master will live a long life."

"And miss..." As soon as Cassidy Bai finished speaking, he realized that the young master didn't know his life experience, so he quickly stopped.

Mother Song did not want the young master to be blinded by hatred. When he grew up and became successful, it would not be too late to tell all the truth, so she gave Cassidy Bai a hard look, pulled the young master and wanted to return home.

Elias followed Mother Song silently, and when she reached the door of the temple, she said, "Mom, I want to stay in Kaiyuan Temple to lead my practice."

"Master, what did you say?" Song's mother slipped on her feet and almost fell down.

"I said I want to stay in Kaiyuan Temple to teach and practice." Elias supported her and reiterated. The forty taels of silver had been spent, and Li Gui realized that his debt had been paid off, so he was determined to drag him to hell with him. If he left the young man with dragon energy, he would only die.

"You kid, how come you want to become a monk so well? But who said what?" Song's mother looked at Cassidy Bai with cold eyes, and Cassidy Bai waved her hands in shock.

"No one told me." Elias looked around and saw that there was no one else nearby, so she whispered, "To be honest with my mother, I was recently haunted by a fierce ghost, who told me that this body was supposed to be his. When the debt collector came, he said that the forty taels of silver had been spent and I had to die. In recent days, he often harmed me, pushing me into the pond and pushing me down the steps. He had done this repeatedly in the temple. He also held the back of my head and pushed me into a snowdrift to drown me. Fortunately, a noble pilgrim passed by and he retreated. If my mother and I went back, we might be attacked by evil spirits one day. It would be better to stay here. I'm safe with you. Besides, this is a temple, and maybe the Buddha will protect me."

Of course, Elias definitely didn't believe this last sentence. If the Bodhisattva can really save all living beings and subjugate demons, how can the evil spirits be so rampant and kill people in temples? It can be seen that Kaiyuan Temple is not a sacred and inviolable place.

Song's mother and Cassidy Bai were dumbfounded. When they came back to their senses, they quickly checked the back of the young master's head. As expected, they saw a red handprint vaguely printed on the white and tender scalp. Judging from the size, it should belong to an adult man. Thinking of the frequent occurrences of people being possessed by evil spirits in Yushui Village, and thinking of the dream that the master and the miss had at the same time five years ago when the young master was born, Mother Song and Cassidy Bai were convinced of this.

What does it mean that the body should have been his? Could it be that the debt collector failed to be born in the young lady's belly, but was taken over by the young master instead? The young master is not a ghost, he is the flesh and blood of the young lady who worked hard to conceive for ten months! Mother Song was ecstatic for a while and sad for a while. She hugged Elias's thin body and sobbed, saying intermittently, "I, my miserable young master, you have suffered so much, why didn't you tell me earlier! If this old slave had known earlier, You must ask an expert to save you."

"Mom, there is no need to blame yourself. Most of the masters are liars." Elias patted Song's mother on the back awkwardly, "All the masters invited by the village can't do anything to Li Gui. He will only retreat when he sees noble people."

"Who is that noble man? Mom, go and ask him to protect you." Song's mother pulled away from her grief, picked up the young master and walked to the temple.

"How can ordinary people dare to get involved in the things of gods and ghosts? It's better if you don't tell me. If you tell me, you will definitely drive me away. Mom, please don't be impulsive. I can protect myself by staying in the temple, and by concentrating on practicing Buddhism on weekdays, I can also make people happy. Demons and ghosts retreated. This is a holy land of Buddhism after all, so there is no room for evil spirits to cause trouble. "Elias had never said such a long thing in one breath, but in order to dispel Song's mother's thoughts, she had to patiently persuade her.

The so-called nobility is far beyond the understanding of Mother Song and Cassidy Bai. If he goes there rashly, it will arouse suspicion. Otherwise, he is afraid that the other party will taboo about ghosts and gods, which will end his life. It is better to stay in the temple. Become a lay disciple, slowly get close to the young man, and then think of other things.

Song's mother was persuaded. While praising the young master for his thoughtfulness, she found the abbot of Kaiyuan Temple and said she wanted to foster the child here. Some children have bad fortune and shallow fortunes. Parents are afraid that the children will die young, so they send them to a nearby temple for foster care and send them money for sesame oil every month. This was one of the temple's incomes, and the abbot had no reason not to agree, so he immediately accepted Elias.

Elias sent away the reluctant Mother Song and Cassidy Bai, then returned to her wing and changed into moon-white monk robes. He walked around and found that a courtyard to the east was the most spacious and neat. There were always two strong men standing guard at the circular arch, and he knew that it was the young man's residence. Judging from the indifferent behavior of the monks, no one seemed to know the boy's true identity, and Elias couldn't understand how a good royal family could live in a little-known temple. However, Liangzhou is the land of Longxing, where dignitaries gather, and Kaiyuan Temple is one of the temples closest to the imperial mausoleum. This makes sense when you think about it.

Elias squatted in the corner and secretly observed the scene in the courtyard. Her hands were not idle. She built a small snowman half a meter high in twos and twos. She used black stones as eyes, yellow leaves as mouth, and two dead branches as hands. It's quite childlike to go up there. It had been a long time since I had seen the boy go out. Seeing that dinner was almost here, he rubbed his belly and ran towards the kitchen. Eating is always his top priority.

Soon after, the young man, wearing a mink fur cloak, walked slowly out of the courtyard. When he passed the corner, he saw a little snowman standing quietly in the cold wind. He couldn't help but stop, his eyes showing nostalgia.

The two subordinates lowered their heads hurriedly, hiding their expressions of pity, knowing that their master must have thought of the late Queen again. Back then, the late empress also loved to build two small snowmen in front of her master's palace, saying that the little snowmen would protect the emperor's son on her behalf. If the Queen was still here, how could the master have fallen to this level?

The young man seemed to know how to control his emotions. In just a moment, he calmed down the fragility in his eyes and continued to walk forward. Suddenly he stopped and said calmly, "Carry it to the yard. If you leave it here, it will inevitably be ruined by the little novices who come and go." "

The two strong men promised in a low voice, carefully lifted the snowman and placed it under the plum blossom tree in the courtyard. The master could see it just by opening the window, just like the empress had piled it for him with her own hands in previous years.

The ghost seemed to be frightened and did not appear for half a month. Elias ate well and slept well. Her skinny body gained a little fat, but she still looked very weak, as if she could float in the wind. He has recently become obsessed with the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion and often sneaks in to read them. The endless absorption of new knowledge is the instinct of a super-brained person, and he cannot control it. As long as it is a book that he has not read, he must read it thoroughly, and then store it in his brain that is comparable to a computer.

On this day, after reading the last book of scriptures, he took out a steamed bun from his pocket and gnawed it while walking. He passed by a huge water tank and suddenly felt a dark wind whistling over him.
