I am the Spirit

As it got late, Zhang Luo, An Qingming, and Kagome came to the gate of a temple.

“Rest here tonight, and continue tomorrow.” An Beiqingming looked at the spiritual light on the mountain and spoke.

“Can you finally rest?” Twilight Kagome wiped the sweat on her head, after all, unlike Zhang Luo and An Beiqingming, she was just an ordinary human being, and she was already very tired after a long time of rushing, and her physical strength could not support her staying up late to hurry.

The three climbed the many stairs, and finally saw the panorama of the temple, which is a large temple, although it looks a little shabby, but you can still see the traces of the once vigorous incense, the low wall of the imitation Tang Dynasty still has broken carved tiles, the Buddha statue also has years of smoky incense and oil smoke, the white tower in the corner has thick moss, the green bricks on the ground have damp marks, but it seems that because of disrepair, there is no frequent care, and there are many dense cobwebs on the gate.

The three entered the monastery and saw an old monk dressed in black talking to four men dressed as samurai.

Seeing Zhang Luo and the three people coming in from outside, the old monk said two more words to the four samurai, and then walked towards Zhang Luo and the three, and although the four samurai looked a little impatient on their faces, they forcibly endured because of the Yin-Yang Master dressed up by An Bai Qingming.

After informing the old monk of his desire to stay here for the night, he gave some dry food as accommodation expenses according to the old monk’s request, and the old monk agreed.

Then the three of them, together with the four samurai, led by the old monk, came to the backyard, where there were six rooms for pilgrims to live in, but three of them were already dilapidated and could not be accommodated at all, and the other three were still inhabitable.

“It’s late, I won’t bother a few, it’s just that the world is not peaceful now, and it’s better not to be too curious no matter what sound you hear.”

Standing in the courtyard, the old monk said to everyone.

“Is there anything unclean in this temple?” An Weiqingming had a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at the old monk, and asked.

“Is it a spider head? When we passed through this area, we heard from the villagers in the neighborhood that this is why we came to this temple, can there be monsters in the temple? A samurai asked.

“Spider head? What is that? ”

Kagome asked curiously.

“That’s a spider monster that began to settle in this area this spring, attacking humans everywhere, and there is more than one, as long as more and more samurai die in battle, there will be more and more spider-headed monsters, generally appearing in groups.”

The old monk looked up at Kagome at the twilight and opened his mouth to explain, a hint of obscure emotion in his eyes.

“In droves?!” Kagome, who suddenly felt creepy, moved a few steps to An Beiqingming’s side.

“Not bad, because the number is too much, even if the demon exterminator or the yin-yang master is powerful, it will not be able to survive the attack of the spider tide, so it is best not to leave the monastery at night.” The old monk said and looked at An Yuqingming, “There are still enchantments left in the monastery to protect you, but if I leave the monastery, I can’t help it.” ”

An Beiqingming shook the bat fan and smiled lightly.

“Everyone, please rest well, after the fasting meal and hot water, I will send the children in the temple to the room.”

The old monk clasped his hands together and withdrew from the courtyard.

The four warriors looked at Zhang Luo and the three, didn’t say anything, turned around and entered the two consecutive rooms, and Zhang Luo and the three also entered another room.

After entering the room, Zhang Luo asked An Beiqingming, “Is that old monk a human or a demon?” ”

An Weiqingming nodded and said, “As you can imagine, that old monk is the spider head, and he is also the leader of the spider head. ”

“What! Isn’t this the nest of spider heads? ”

Hearing An Beiqingming’s words, Nippon Kagome suddenly exclaimed, and when she thought of the dense spider head, she couldn’t help but get goosebumps on her body.

An Weiqingming said slowly: “Don’t worry, this temple is not the nest of spider heads, there is only one spider head in it, and staying in the body of the old monk avoids the enchantment of the temple.” ”

“That’s good.” Kagome breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn’t densely packed with a lot.

“Eh, didn’t that old monk say just now that there is still a child in the monastery? Isn’t that a spider head? Kagome suddenly remembered what the old monk said before, and quickly asked.

“That should be the child that the spider head used to confuse pedestrians and deceive, after all, an old monk who is dying, living alone in such a large monastery, it is too suspicious.” Zhang Luo guessed that if the development of the original book was followed, the child in the mouth of the old monk’s spider head should be Xiao Qi who was taken in the monastery by the old monk because his parents were killed by the spider head.

As he spoke, there was a knock on the door outside the room, and Kagome went over to open the door and saw that it was a girl with short hair, and there was some fasting rice on the tray she was holding, which should be the child who the spider head said would come over to deliver the meal.

Kagome let go and helped the girl bring the meal to the house.

“Are you Lord Onmyoji?” After Xiao Qi put the meal down, he looked at An Beiqingming with hopeful eyes.

“Yes, I’m an Onmyoji.” An Beiqingming nodded.

With a flutter, Xiao Qi knelt directly to An Beiqingming.

“Hey! What are you doing? Get up! ”

Startled by Xiao Qi’s action, Kagome of the Sun hurriedly wanted to pick up Xiao Qi, but was broken away by Xiao Qi.

“Onmyoji-sama! Please, help us kill those spider-headed monsters! Even though the expression on Xiao Qi’s face was still terrified, there was a deep hatred in her voice, “Since this spring, they have used this place as their lair, attacked several villages in a row, built their nests in corpses, and lived by eating people, which is a very despicable and blind monster!” My home, my parents were eaten by them! ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Qi’s eyes suddenly burst with strong hatred, and he could hardly restrain the trembling of his body.

Seeing Xiao Qi’s appearance, Gome knew that there was no need to ask further, looked at Xiao Qi with pity, and turned his head to look at An Qingming.

“Master Anbai, we have already met anyway, why don’t we help her?”

An Beiqingming gently patted his palm with a bat fan, looked at Xiao Qi with hatred on his face, and said: “If I say, that spider-headed monster is the old monk of this temple, can you…”

“Impossible! How can the master be a spider head! ”

Before An Weiqingming’s words were finished, he was interrupted by Xiao Qi.

Looking at Xiao Qi’s hostile eyes, An Beiqingming shook his head, took out a piece of talisman paper and handed it to Xiao Qi, “If you don’t want to believe it, then take this to the old monk and stick it on him, and then the spider head will appear in its original form.” ”

Xiao Qi hesitantly looked at the talisman paper in An Qingming’s hand, and did not reach out to take it.

“If the old monk is not a spider head, this can just clear his suspicions, and this talisman paper has no effect on humans and cannot harm him.” Seeing that Xiao Qi was slow to answer, An Beiqingming continued.

Xiao Qi thought about it, this is indeed the truth, and there is indeed no such thing as a spell that can harm humans, so he took the talisman paper and left the room.
