Chapter 44
"Stop it."
Zhang Shu turned his back to him, and he casually reached out to support the mouth of the altar behind him. As soon as he raised his head, a gentle smile was frozen on his face by the scene in front of him.
At the mouth of the empty altar directly opposite, a human head popped out at some point!
It was a very well-preserved head, with a smooth scalp and no hair. The incense scar on the top of the head showed the identity of the owner, who was a monk.
His complexion is pale golden, his eyes are slightly closed, the corners of his mouth are slightly raised, his brows are benevolent, and he looks somewhat similar to the golden body in the temple.
Suddenly, that head seemed to be aware of Zhang Shu's existence, and his eyes opened suddenly, without even giving Zhang Shu time to recover, but there were no pupils, no eyeballs, nothing in the empty eye sockets!
"Ah!"
Zhang Shu shuddered all over, instinctively took two steps back, and suddenly fell into Lu Han's arms.
"What's wrong?!"
He immediately sensed something was wrong, grabbed Zhang Shu's waist tightly, took him away from the jar, and stepped back ten meters away.
"These jars are not for pickling vegetables, they are..."
"I know."
Before Zhang Shu finished speaking, Lu Han's expression became serious. He had already taken off his glasses and could see his surroundings clearly.
Different from the weird scene that Zhang Shu perceived by accident, Lu Han could even see the whole situation clearly. Among the hundreds of jars, there were men, women, old and children in different postures.
Most of them have a faint gold leaf on their faces, with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, with a peaceful expression, basically no trace of involuntary, only a few of the faces in the mouth of the altar still have a look of panic. The traces, those heads are small, they still look like children.
Children have clean eyes and can see through these lies of becoming a Buddha. Their minds must not be completely confused, so they still retain the instinctive desire to survive and fear of death before death.
"Well!"
Lu Han wanted to watch again, but Zhang Shu beside him suddenly covered his abdomen and moaned.Before he had time to ask, he saw broad beans rushing out of Zhang Shu's body. It could naturally see the mummified corpse, but as the judge's son, he didn't care at all. Curious, he yawned lazily.
"Ah?"
Broad bean circled around its parents a few times, as if it had discovered some novel favorite, it twisted its chubby body and flew towards one of the jars.
"Puff... Chi... Ah Woo!"
After a brief exchange, Broad Bean opened its mouth wide open, and directly bit off the small head on the jar.
"broad bean!"
Due to the connection of the mother, Zhang Shu can also see this strange and bloody picture in front of him. The blood basin of the broad bean has been closed, and the blood is dripping on the pink lips, but there is a childlike expression on the face. Turning around watch them.
"It's okay, it's saving that child. The undead will be eaten by my heirs, and their sins will be forgiven. They can walk across the golden bridge and cross the silver bridge, and the next life will be rich and peaceful."
"is that so."
Zhang Shu was a little relieved, and waved at the broad beans. The baby was full and started to feel sleepy again, and a slam dunk plunged into Zhang Shu's lower abdomen.
"But why did it just eat that child's head? Do they...know each other?"
"I don't know about this either. Maybe it thinks they are all children and just wants to help him."
Lu Han pulled Zhang Shu over and held him in his arms.
"I'm sorry, our family is a bit strange."
"Do not."
Zhang Shu hissed him and pointed to his abdomen.
"Don't say that about it, and don't say that about yourself." He whispered in his ear.
Ever since Zhang Shu entered the Zhang family's ancestral house, the most he heard was "freak". He would not let his children be said that way, nor would he allow others to describe his lover like that.
"donor."
A slightly smiling voice broke the tranquil atmosphere, and Zhang Shu immediately jumped out of Lu Han's arms. This is a temple, and they couldn't do as they wanted outside, so they had to avoid suspicion for a while.
"Two benefactors, the lectures are not over yet, why are you so anxious to come out to rejoice?"
Although the visitor was a monk, there was a slightly frivolous smile on the brows and corners of the eyes. Zhang Shu felt that he looked familiar. By the way, it was the Mansao holding the rose gold that Liu Banxian had complained about before.
Lu Han is a ghost. He has always been indifferent to creatures like monks and old Taoists. He didn't make any trouble, and directly treated the other party as air.
Zhang Shu was quite polite to him, and sent a questioning message: "We have already memorized the scriptures. I wanted to come here to rejoice in the forest of steles, but I didn't expect to stumble into a secluded place by mistake. Master, forgive me."
"Oh? So it's a layman."
The monk probably also knew that the people led by Liu Banxian'er bought the highest-level experience items, and felt that Zhang Shu was an expert, and he was quite warm to them, so he said with a smile: "Hey, what kind of winding path is here? This place is the place where the monks in our temple usually store autumn vegetables, you two should go shopping elsewhere, the smell here is not good, and the lay people are pickled."
Why is this still in the Red Chamber?Living in the temple for too long, the hormone secretion is out of balance?Lu Han groaned silently in his heart, pulled Zhang Shu's skirt, and the two left this ghostly place one after the other.
"Do you think that monk is weird? Could he have something to do with the golden bodies we saw." Zhang Shu saw that Lu Han hurriedly dragged him away, thinking that he had discovered something new.
"I didn't think much about it, I just thought it was too girly." Lu Han replied honestly.
"Boss! Uncle!"
The two chatted side by side, turned around the forest of steles, and met Hugua who came to look for them head-on.
"I dozed off during the lecture, why did you disappear when I woke up?"
"Little Hu, you don't know it's here. The so-called estrus and ceremonies..." Liu Banxian, who came late just in time to catch up with their conversation, put his hand on Hugua's shoulder and said very familiarly .
"Get out of here, stay away from me."
"Hey, how can this work, we are here to explore, I am responsible for protecting you."
"Hey, thank you. Just don't pee your pants in fear. If you can protect me, I will immediately agree to consummate the house."
"Hey! That's what you said."
"I said it, it's a deal!"
The little fox clapped hands with Liu Banxian'er as if in agreement.
"By the way, boss, uncle, the sutra lecture is over. You can eat the fast lunch in the meditation hall at noon, or you can send it to your room. I think my uncle definitely doesn't like crowds, so I will send it back to your room."
"Okay, let's go back first, you should hurry up and eat."
Lu Han and Zhang Shu watched the young lovers quarrel and returned to the room.
The vegetarian food of Yuanyuan Temple is famous far and wide, such as fragrant rice with jade grains, mushrooms and cabbage, and golden needle melon slices, which are bright in color and full of fragrance.It's just that Zhang Shu has just seen the endless sitting altar just now, and now he has no appetite at all.
Lu Han didn't care. In fact, his five senses were very weak, and it didn't make much difference whether he ate or not. However, in order to make Zhang Shu eat deliciously, he deliberately snatched the red beans on top of the rice in his bowl.
The two of them were burying their heads in their meal, when suddenly there was a very crisp sound of metal colliding on the wall behind them.
"what sound"
Zhang Shu turned his head and took a look. Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt dizzy and nauseated.
"vomit!"
"What's wrong?!"
Lu Han supported him, and Zhang Shu fell on top of him, revealing the originally blocked view behind him, and there was a broken Buddha statue lying at the base of the wall.
It fell from a small Buddhist niche on the wall, and half of the gilded bronze Buddha was broken, with white stubbles faintly showing inside—that was human bones!
"So that's what happened." Lu Han hugged Zhang Shu tightly, stroking his back.
"What's going on? Lu Han, what did you find?"
Lu Han didn't speak, he reached out and touched Zhang Shu's abdomen, within a few seconds, the broad beans were rubbed out by him.
"grumble!"
It seemed to be sleeping late, and was very dissatisfied with Daddy's forced wake-up, and showed its teeth to Lu Han.
Lu Han turned a blind eye and pointed to the broken Buddha statue in the corner and the bones exposed inside.
Broad Dou turned his head to look, and there was no panic expression on his little face, but his little shoulders shrugged, and a big smile spread on Dudu's lips.
"Hey ~ hee ~"
It circled around a few times and rushed towards the wreckage of the baby.
"broad bean!"
"It's okay." Lu Han held back Zhang Shu who was about to rush over.
"Look." He pointed to the broad bean, which tilted its head to look at the jet-black mass, nodded, as if saying goodbye to it, and then slightly touched the black mass with its fleshy little hand. The carrion bones, the mass of things gradually mottled with the touch of broad beans, and disappeared in ashes.
"Hey..." Broadou looked at the gold-plated Buddha statue left in place, tilted his head, as if feeling a little lost, and returned to Zhang Shu's side wearily after a while.
It didn't pounce directly into Zhang Shu's abdomen as before, but landed on his arm, rubbing against the skin on the back of his hand with her tender little face like a baby.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Shu rubbed its lanugo-grown head, Broad Bean seemed to be comforted, narrowed his eyes comfortably, and fell asleep in Zhang Shu's arms.
"This little thing."
Lu Han reached out to poke its cheek, but Zhang Shu slapped the ghost claw away.
"It's acting like a baby to you. We stayed in this meditation room overnight. The broad beans should have had some kind of communication with the ghosts in the little golden Buddha. Today, when we were in the kimchi garden, it only saved the body of a child. The resentful spirit should be the owner of the rotting bones in this little golden Buddha."
