With the power of AI, you become a giant in the magic world!

In ancient summer, I walked until I reached the top of the willow tree above the moon.

Along the mountain road, he left Gaoguan County and came to the boundary of Lingshi County.

According to legend, a spiritual stone from heaven once came to this county, bringing a lot of auspiciousness.

Later, the name of the county was changed, and the hill where Lingshi was discovered was also renamed Lingshi Mountain.

After the spiritual stone was presented to the emperor, an eminent monk passed by and saw that the auspiciousness still remained here, so he built a small temple next to the mountain and practiced Taoism here.

After the eminent monk passed away, it was passed down from generation to generation by his disciples and expanded through donations from faithful men and women.

That unknown little temple has now been expanded into the Lingwu Temple covering an area of ​​more than an acre.

And this temple was not far away from Gu Xia.

He thought about staying here for one night and then going to Lingshi County to buy a horse and rush back to Xianfucheng tomorrow.

Gu Xia stepped forward and knocked on the door of Lingwu Temple.

Boom, boom, boom! ! !

Dong dong dong...

After a long time, there were footsteps.

Squeak...

The temple door opened a crack.

A novice monk stuck his head out and looked at Gu Xia without saying a word.

"Well…"

After all, it felt a bit strange to beg someone for help, and Gu Xia couldn't say anything.

He smiled and said: "Master, I am passing through. The county is too far away and there is no other place in this mountain forest. Can you stay overnight?"

The novice monk looked at Gu Xia, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

Just when Gu Xia was a little embarrassed, he whispered: "...Oh...stay the night, right? Then come with me."

Gu Xia: "Thank you, master. What would you call me?"

"...Me?" The novice monk obviously thought for a moment and said, "My name is Kong Hui."

"I've met Master Kong Hui."

Gu Xia asked Xingchen to secretly scan the opponent's body and made sure that there was no abnormal mysterious reaction on the other party's body before he felt relieved.

"Kong Hui? It's true that he is quite empty as his name suggests."

Under the leadership of the novice monk Kong Hui, Gu Xia walked into the temple.

Every holiday or leisure day, people from nearby Lingshi County come to Lingwu Temple dozens of miles away to burn incense, worship Buddha, and pray for children.

Those who are far away or have difficulty with their legs and feet have to stay here for one night.

Therefore, Lingwu Temple also built a place for pilgrims to rest in the backyard.

Kong Hui will lead Gu Xia here.

Walking along the long corridor, the two people moved forward.

It was pitch dark inside the temple, with almost no lights visible except for the lantern in Kong Hui's hand.

"Don't these monks need to practice late?"

Gu Xia remembered that the monks in the temples in Gaoning County and Xianfucheng often chanted sutras until late at night, but the monks in Lingwu Temple were more leisurely and fell asleep just after nightfall.

After a while the two passed by the temple hall.

There are some dim lights burning here.

"Master Kong Hui, wait a moment, I'll burn the incense."

Gu Xia walked over, picked up a stick of incense and lit it near the candle.

He doesn't believe this. There is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering, and no one can save him except himself.

But if you stay overnight, you have to give the host some benefits.

When you get to the temple, take out some incense money and burn incense for the Buddha.

In front of him are statues of the three Buddhas of the past, present and future.

Gu Xia put his hands together and bowed, and thought to himself: "You three look even more lazy than the monks in this temple, and you don't even seem to go to work."

After praying, he looked up again.

Somehow, under the dim light, several Buddha statues looked a little eerie, as if they had triggered the uncanny valley effect.

The two continued walking and soon arrived at the backyard.

Dangdangdang...

A faint sound of wooden fish can be heard.

"Kong Hui, why are you still walking around the courtyard at night?"

At this time, a door in the corridor opened, revealing a Zen room inside.

An old monk with white beard and hair was wearing a cassock, sitting cross-legged on a futon, knocking on wooden fish and chanting sutras.

"...Wu Qing presided over...this benefactor...came to stay for the night..." Kong Hui explained slowly.

Gu Xia also said politely: "Master host, I was passing by this place and had nowhere to go, so I came to stay for one night."

The old monk Wuqing said: "It is okay for the donor to stay, but ordinary people in the Buddhist Pure Land are not allowed to harass you at will. You are not allowed to leave the guest room at night. You have to leave early tomorrow morning!"

"I understand, and I won't disturb the monks and masters' practice."

Gu Xia nodded, thinking: "This Buddha's family also has a lot of rules."

"Donor, we are destined to meet each other, so I will give this thing to you." Wu Qing handed him the rosary in his hand.

"Thank you for hosting."

Gu Xia accepted the rosary.

But he was confused. Monk Wuqing had just asked him to be quiet in a cold tone, and now he suddenly said that the two of them were destined to give him rosary beads.

Wu Qing said nothing else, turned back to the Zen room and closed the door.

He was still muttering in a low voice: "Quiet, quiet, be quiet, don't disturb them, leave early..."

Dangdangdang...

Soon the sound of wooden fish and chanting began again.

Kong Hui led Gu Xia to the guest room opposite. It was a two-story building, like an inn.

And it seems that because of the arrival of the new festival, Gu Xia is not the only resident here, but there are also several pilgrims staying here.

After a moment, there was a crunch.

Gu Xia opened the door.

He couldn't help but frown.

There was a layer of dust on the tables and chairs, and it seemed that no one had come in to clean it for a long time.

The bedding on the bed was also torn and old.

"These monks don't know how to treat guests. All the people who come here are parents."

He complained in his mind.

But Gu Xia was just staying for one night, so he could make do with it. He had even slept in a straw nest before, so it was better than sleeping in the wild.

Gu Xia slept in his clothes, lying on the bed. Due to the fatigue of the constant journey, he soon fell asleep.

…

"Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

A dull hum came from the next room.

Gu Xia was awakened.

This small building is made of wood, and the walls are not thick, so it is not very soundproof.

"This sound?"

He felt a little strange, and walked closer to the wall to listen.

The strange sound became clearer, like panting, and seemed a little impatient, and it was a woman's voice.

"Could it be?"

Gu Xia's body also recovered a little. Although he could not mobilize the Xuanli to fight fiercely, he could still use some Xuanli.

He poured some Taibai Xuanli into his fingertips and poked the wall lightly.

Silently, a hole was "dug" out of the wall.

Gu Xia's curiosity as a man was at work.

He bent down and looked across the small hole.

A picture that made people's blood boil appeared.

There were four or five monks surrounding a woman.

"Eh! Could this be the Goddess of Childbirth delivering a child?"

Gu Xia couldn't help but think of a story he had heard in his previous life.

A certain temple was particularly effective, especially for seeking children. As long as infertile women stayed there for a few days, most of them would get pregnant soon after returning.

Later, one day, the police went to arrest people, and everyone knew the truth.

It turned out that there was no particularly effective Goddess of Childbirth, only a bunch of lewd monks.

As we all know, infertility is often a male problem. With the help of these seven or eight "Goddess of Childbirth" in the temple, naturally many people succeeded in praying for children.

Of course, there are also wives who really can't get pregnant. At this time, the monks will say that she is not sincere, so she can't have a child.

Gu Xia didn't expect that there was also a "Goddess of Childbirth" in the big temple, and it can deliver children directly when people are awake.

"No wonder there are so few monks in such a big temple, and I am not allowed to go out at night. It turns out that they are afraid of ruining your good deeds!

Evil old monk, if I report to the authorities, all of you will be pushed to the market and beheaded.

Forget it, it is better to have less trouble than more."

Gu Xia did not intend to enforce justice, and the woman next door might be very happy. He broke in and disturbed everyone's leisure.

He lay on the bed and continued to sleep.
