Ghost Shelter System

At 10 o'clock in the evening, it was foggy.

The Chenghuang Temple in the Magic City has been closed for a long time, and now there is only one temple priest left in the temple.

It was slightly cold in the temple, as if it had just rained.

This City God Temple is said to have been built by Sun Hao, the grandson of Sun Quan, the Lord of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In Sun Hao's generation, the city god in the temple was still the famous Huo Guang. Later, times changed, and Huo Guang's statue is still there, but I don't know if there are any temple spirits left.

Miao Zhu fiddled with the oil lamp, swept away the fallen leaves, and then cleaned the temple of the City God.

After the temple was clean, Miao Zhu turned to look outside the temple while holding a mop.

"I felt something was wrong this morning. I didn't expect you to be able to bear your temper and wait until now to show up."

A breeze blew by, and two shadowy figures appeared at the door.

The old Miao Zhu showed no fear and smiled: "The Nine Heavenly God Tiger is lying on earth, the wind beast eats its soul and drives away all evils. I am a poor Taoist, the Heavenly Tiger Mountain and the Five Rivers. Who do you dare to do for anyone outside the palace, and what are you doing here?"

Outside the temple, a pair of oxen and horse military attachés appeared.

The cow is two meters tall and the horse is also two meters tall. Old Miao Zhu was startled. He glanced at the waists of the two Yin Chai, and there were actually Fengdu waist badges hanging on them.

The real thing is wrong?

"The number one ghost under Fuyu Mountain Division, Niu Meng, has met Master Wu!"

Niu Meng stepped into the temple and bowed to the old temple: "Today, I have been ordered by my Lord to find someone. I am going to disturb the temple for a while. I hope the master will make it easier."

Lao Miao Zhu was surprised: "The ghost of Master Qin?"

Nowadays, in the Chinese way of life and death, the five seniors, Ge Longtou, Zuo Xuanru, Huapixian, Lao Taisui, and Shengseng, are old and no longer take charge of the overall situation. Although Maoshan is the leader, because none of his disciples in the past hundred years are top-notch talents, so Not in the limelight.

Last year, a group of new talents emerged from Maoshan Danhui, led by Qin Kun of Fuyu Mountain, each leading the way. Laomiao Zhu is a disciple of Tianhu Mountain among the nine places, so he naturally knows this.

When he heard that the cow-horse military attache was a ghost under Qin Kun's command, he was vigilant and eliminated it. No wonder these two ghosts had been following their duties for a day and did not show up until now.

"Since it is Master Qin's ghost mission, the small temple is naturally open to convenience. I once had a relationship with Master Qin. The two missionaries can rest as they please. If you need help from me, just let me know."

"Thank you, Master Wu."

The cattle and horse military attachés were polite and polite. Lao Miao Zhu let down his guard and continued to clean the backyard.

The two ghosts walked into the statue of the oxen and horse military attache next to the City God and rested.

12 o'clock in the morning.

Ma Lie stood across from the City God, rubbed his hands and said excitedly: "Old Niu, I heard people say that the underworld in the Yangjian City God's Temple is majestic. This is my first experience. What should we say?"

Niu Meng rolled his eyes: "I didn't know. I have been following Brother Kun since I came to Yangjian, but I have never been to the City God's Temple."

At a quarter past 12 o'clock, the breeze blew, and a wandering soul shrunk in.

"Bah!"

Ma Lie suddenly shouted, jumped out of the horse-faced statue, and looked at the hall with wide eyes.

The wandering soul was frightened and quickly knelt on the ground: "Master Ma Mian, please have mercy! I died not long ago, and I was so hot from the surrounding yang that I found a cool and comfortable place. Who knew that I would collide with your old man's temple... …”

This was an old lady with a sad expression, wearing a hospital gown. She muttered "It turns out to be a human soul", and then said: "Get well, this is the local City God's Temple, not my temple, stay in the backyard." , the incense here can keep your ghost body alive for seven days. After the first seven days, go home and read it, and someone will naturally take you to the underworld and reincarnate again."

Ma Lie pointed to the backyard, and the old lady thanked her and said to herself, "It really makes sense."

Not long after the old lady arrived, the temple became lively. Anyone who died normally and didn't have too many obsessions would instinctively find this place.

Waves of wandering souls were sent to the backyard. At around 2 o'clock, an old man walked in with his tongue hanging out.

He looks old and has a tail growing from behind his butt.

Ma Lie jumped out: "Hey!"

A shout frightened the old man back to his original state. Niu Meng and Ma Lie saw that this was an old dog in his teenage years, with its eyes covered by fur, curled up at the door.

"Little beast soul, maybe you can understand what Honzai is saying?"

The old dog kept talking: "Okay, okay! I was originally the dog of a family by the river. I died a few days ago. It was very hot in the city and I ran around for a whole day to find it here."

"Do you know who I am?"

"My master has said that after my death, there will be an oxen and horse military attache to lead the way to the underworld. You are the horse-faced master." The old dog said timidly.

Ma Lie raised his head and said, "Yes, stay in the side hospital. I will let you go back for the first seven days after you die."

The old dog was no longer afraid, turned back to his human form, and said in surprise: "Do I also have the first seven?"

"All things are equal. You must follow the rules set by the Lord of Hell in Fengdu. You can go back if you want, and it doesn't matter if you don't want to."

"I-I want to go back."

"I know, let's go in." Ma Lie pointed to the side courtyard.

Not long after the old dog came in, a wandering soul fell down from the top of the temple.

It was a dull old man, also with a tail.

"Bah!"

Marley shouted, and the old man was frightened and returned to his original state. It was a baboon. Hearing this, his teeth bared and he hit the ground.

Ma Lie smiled: "Little beast soul, maybe you can understand what Bencha said?"

The baboon scratched its creak: "Yes! I heard the previous clan leader said that when we were about to die, there were horse gods and cow gods who took us to another world. Are you the horse god?"

"The bad guy is a bad guy."

"Horse Faced God, I feel like I have become smarter. Why is this?"

Ma Lie raised his head and said: "The five insects and all the monsters in the world have spiritual intelligence, but they are limited by the body and have difficulty exerting it. That is the shackles of reincarnation. Now that you are freed from the shackles, your ghost has recovered, and you will naturally be smart. If you are reincarnated in the womb of an animal in the next life. , will still blind the spiritual intelligence.”

The baboon nodded thoughtfully.

Ma Lie pointed to the side courtyard: "Go in, you can go back and have a look for the first seven days."

"go back?"

The baboon was startled, shook his head and said: "After the patriarchs and others die, I will be the only one left in the zoo. Is it okay if I don't come back?"

"Okay, let's go to the side hospital."

The human souls who came tonight were all dismissed by Ma Lie in a few words, while the beast souls chatted a little more and shook off their yinsha majesty.

At 3 o'clock in the evening, a woman with round eyes floated in.

Ma Lie shouted, and the woman cooed in fright. Ma Lie took a closer look and saw that it was an owl.

"It turns out to be an old owl."

Old owl means owl. The owl flapped its wings and wanted to escape. Ma Lie waved his hand in the air, and a bronze shackle got stuck on her neck.

"Stop flapping around, little beast soul, can you understand what I'm saying?" Ma Lie asked.

"It seems...it works!"

After the woman finished speaking, she was startled: "Who are you? I'm here to enjoy the cool air!"

Ma Lie snorted: "Your life is over, do you want to be reincarnated? Maybe you can be a human again."

The woman stared with big eyes and let out a 'goo' sound.

Ma Lie said angrily: "You ghosts have escaped from the shackles of the body, don't talk like birds."

"I...can I be reincarnated as an adult?"

"If you have a chance, go to the side courtyard and stay first. The first seven can return to their souls and see your clan members for the last time."

After the shackles were removed, the woman was no longer nervous and returned to her human form. She had been in the wild all year round and had no etiquette. The woman did not say thank you and ran happily to the side courtyard.

Death is like this. Perhaps the legends about death are all brought back by the soul in the first seven reincarnations. They are very mysterious and normal.

The good thing about these beast souls is that they don't have many causes and effects, and being able to be reincarnated as a human is a blessing obtained through cultivation. In fact, to put it bluntly, they are a group of genuine creatures without thoughts, and they are inherently blessed.

At three quarters of the Yin hour, 3:45 in the morning, the Chenghuang Temple is no longer open to ghosts.

Ma Lie stretched out and said to Niu Meng, "Old Niu, there are some guys gathered in the side courtyard, let's go take a look."

Niu Meng, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating, walked out of the bull head statue: "Okay."
