White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

There seemed to be many "things" wandering out under the majestic rain. The originally lonely dirt road in the wilderness became shadowy, and the calls of relatives seemed to ring in my ears.

"Don't even look back!"

The man in the raincoat gave a low shout, and the dozen or so people leading the mules and horses behind him all responded in a deep voice, but looking at their panic expressions, it was clear that this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.

Looking at the muddy dirt road ahead, He Zhou couldn't help but frown.

He and his father have been traveling for business since he was a child. They often travel on rainy nights and have encountered some incredible situations. But this time, walking at night was really scary.

My father once said that those lonely and resentful ghosts are poor people who want to chat and talk when strangers come.

If a person with weak yang energy agrees to them or goes back to agree with them, his popularity will be sucked away immediately. At least he will become seriously ill, or at worst, his soul will be taken away and he will become stupid.

However, after generations of exploration, there are now many ways to avoid it. In addition to not promising not to look back, they will also bring some cinnabar and paper money with them.

If the ghost of an enemy calls out and refuses to leave, he will light the paper money in his hand and throw it behind him. At this time, if he continues on his way, he will be able to get rid of most of the ghosts.

And if paper money can't contain them, they can only drink them away with cinnabar.

This time there was heavy rain on the road, and the paper money in their hands could not be burned at all. Seeing more and more shadows around him, He Zhou had no choice but to grit his teeth and order everyone to take out cinnabar and throw it around.

Needless to say, as soon as the cinnabar was spilled, the sound in his ears quickly weakened, and there was no longer a biting cold wind around him.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. As the cinnabar was exhausted little by little and the night darkened completely, those shouting voices came in exponentially. Judging from the posture, they probably wanted to eat them alive!

Several young men in the team encountered this ghost blocking the road for the first time. For a moment, their feet became weak due to the two groups fighting. If it weren't for He Zhou, the backbone of the team, they would have fled in all directions.

In fact, since their trip to "Yanluo City" this time, there has been no smooth sailing along the way.

Either they lost things or encountered gangsters, and the mules and horses also kept having diarrhea.

Some businessmen of the older generation advised them to slow down before leaving, saying that this was a warning from God. Naturally, He Zhou had concerns, but in the end he gritted his teeth and got on the road.

This time the customer was in a hurry to get the goods. In addition, the weather had been unstable in recent years, and the brothers' families were all hungry. So for the sake of his own brand and the livelihood of his brothers, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and set off. .

Of course, the result is also obvious. It can be said that life and death can be decided in a moment.

"Dragon He's family, we..."

"Uncle Liu, hold on a little longer. The farmers in Xiaoxi Village say that this area is a ruined temple. We will have a way to survive when we get there!"

The man nodded helplessly after hearing this. In fact, he wanted to use that secret trick. As long as he knocked a person unconscious and threw him on the road, no matter what kind of monster it was, he could stop it for a while.

But seeing He Zhou keeping silent, he knew that this wouldn't be possible, so he could only take one step at a time.

"Master!"

How could it be that at this moment, a cry of surprise suddenly came from behind!

"Sorry, boss! Gou Wang is missing!"

"What!"

He Zhou, who was searching for the shadow of the Taoist temple, was immediately startled and turned around.

"No!"

Thanks to the quick eyesight and quick hands of the man next to him, he pulled him back with one arm!

"Master, you can't look back!"

Unexpectedly, seeing Uncle Liu looking at him with a horrified expression, He Zhou opened his eyes wide and gritted his teeth with hatred. He struggled twice before turning around stiffly.

The people who came out with him this time were all his own brothers!

"My boss, this is life. If this continues, we will never survive!"

"I!"

After hearing this, He Zhou clenched his fists and wanted to go up and punch the man twice, but his reason finally controlled him.

The people behind him were frightened and screaming, but no one turned around to look for them. They all wanted to survive!

"Hey, let's go, don't let the dog die in vain."

Uncle Liu sighed and took the initiative to lead the carriage and horse, and led the team for He Zhou.

Seeing this, He Zhou could only hold the shaft of the cart tremblingly, and with red eyes, he pulled the mules and horses and continued on the road.

The sound died down and the wind stopped...

With Gouwang disappearing, everything around him returned to normal, and even the muddy road seemed to have become smoother.

But He Zhou was not happy at all. He was shocked to find that no one had any friendship at all and didn't care about Gouzi's death!

His heart gradually cooled down. Maybe his father was right. Outsiders are still outsiders after all...

"Hey! Boss, look, that's a Taoist temple!?"

At this time, Uncle Liu in front pointed to a dark building in surprise, his face full of joy.

He Zhou raised his head in confusion, and when he saw the dilapidated stone beast on the eaves, he knew it was the abandoned Taoist temple.

However, he just nodded silently, and when the gloomy shouting around him completely disappeared, he carefully retreated to the end of the line to check whether the goods were damaged.

Sure enough, the truck pulled by Gou Wang had disappeared, and the person at the end of the team became Liu Ermazi. This person and Uncle Liu are uncles and nephews, and have always been his confidants.

He wouldn't have noticed something happened to Gou Wang, but he waited until the person was completely gone before calling him. It was hard for He Zhou to believe that there was nothing fishy in this.

"Uh, boss..."

Liu Ermazi was a little nervous. He was only a sixteen-year-old boy, and he couldn't hide anything on his face.

"It's okay, as long as everything is okay."

He Zhou shook his head and patted his shoulder.

The current situation is dangerous, so let’s wait until the storm subsides to explain everything...

The team soon arrived in front of the temple gate. Only then did they see two people standing at the door. Seeing their ragged clothes, they knew they were beggars nearby.

However, the leader, Uncle Liu, did not look down upon or drive them away. Just seeing the bulging shoulders of these two people, he knew that they were not ordinary beggars.

As the saying goes, people are human and ghosts have their own paths. It's just a chance meeting and saying hello.

"You two little brothers, why don't you go into the temple to take shelter from the rain?"

"Uh, you guys..."

The Qingji man was pulled back by the black-faced man just as he was about to reply.

"Hey, if you want to go in, you can do whatever you want."

The man's eyes were a little gloomy, and he directly pulled the young man into the temple gate without saying any nonsense to them.

There were many traveling merchants in Yanzhou, but he didn't expect that there would be teams rushing under the heavy rain. Aren't they afraid of meeting...

Thinking of this, the black-faced man also felt a little chilly, and his hands and feet suddenly felt cold due to the sticky clothes.

"Come on, let's go in and light a fire to get toasty."

The Qingji man nodded, their journey was really bumpy.

Uncle Liu outside saw that these two beggars were hiding something on their minds, and was a little worried for a moment.

"Be careful and keep an eye on valuable things. Give them the worthless goods if they are willing. A strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake."

"I understand, Uncle Liu."

Everyone agrees that only by sacrificing money can you save your life. Their master told them when they entered this industry.

So everyone carefully led their mules and horses into the Taoist temple. As the broken wooden door closed again, there was no longer the roaring sound of rain all around.

After they settled their carriages and horses and walked into the main hall, they immediately saw the "brother and sister" sitting cross-legged on the futon on the east side of the main hall, reciting scriptures.

However, no matter how they listened, they could not understand what the two men were reading, but they felt that the irritability and worry in their hearts seemed to be gradually smoothed away.

Seeing this, Uncle Liu took the initiative and took a step forward:

"Sorry for disturbing you little brother, don't mind if I wait here and rest!"

"It doesn't matter, this is a deserted temple."

Chang Yi waved her hand in an easy-going manner, and then asked Meng Li about her practice, and whether she cared about their arrival.

Everyone curled their lips when they saw this. These brothers and sisters are really big-hearted. They can still think about studying in such an environment.

He Zhou who was behind was a little surprised when he saw this situation. It was raining so hard outside. How come the two of them didn't even light a fire, but only lit a candle to light it.

Of course, he wasn't that curious, so he just gave it a little thought. When everyone sat down in the temple and the fire was lit, he saw that the two beggars in the side hall opposite had also lit a fire to dry their clothes.

It's just that the eyes of these two people are a little strange. From time to time they glance at the brother and sister next to them, and their expressions are also very gloomy, as if someone owes them money.

Uncle Liu's eyes moved slightly, but he was actually thinking like a mirror.

However, he always believed that things had nothing to do with him and he was most afraid of getting into trouble, so he didn't say a word and just checked whether the goods were damaged by water.

On the side, He Zhou was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and Gou Wang died inexplicably. He could not watch the two brothers fall into the tiger's mouth.

Thinking of this, he stood up seemingly naturally and looked around the temple, but his steps slowly moved towards Chang Yi...
