Chapter 346 Spiritual Symbol

The girl Qi Liuhai said, "No, he said that you are a friend from abroad and don't need to donate money to build a temple."

I was stunned and said, "How did he know I was a foreigner?"

The girl Qi Liuhai smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that the monks here are very powerful."

I looked at the old man, and he didn't look like a monk. Although he was very kind, he was not as wise as a monk. I wonder if he accidentally heard me speaking English with two girls just now, so he knew that I was a foreigner?

I can't think much about it. Two girls have pulled me into the gate of the shrine and passed under a torii full of runes, which is a spacious stone road. Both sides of the road are full of bamboo, which looks quiet and green.

Since the park is next to the shrine and the rich villa area with relatively low floors on the left, I think it should be very quiet here.

But today, there is a lot of noise. Many men and women in traditional kimonos walk on this slate road with jokes and smiles, which looks very lively.

In addition to stalls selling snacks and gadgets, there are also some artists performing traditional national skills, such as fire-breathing performances, dog training performances, monkey plays, etc. that have not been seen for a long time.

Of course, there are many places to pray for blessings.

I saw one of them hanging under the guise of eliminating demons in the town house, with some mahogany swords, copper coins, gossip mirrors and other objects on the stall. The boss looked good in the clothes of priests in the shogunate era.

I was about to go up to see those things, but I was pulled by the girl Qi Liuhai. She said, "These are all deceptive and useless. If you go further, you will get to the place. At that time, the monk will give you a charm casually, which is more effective than anything else."

After saying that, she handed me a rice ball wrapped in lotus leaves and said, "The rice ball here is delicious. Try it."

While eating rice balls, I followed the two girls through the crowd and continued to move forward.

Soon after, the noise of the crowd faded away, and we came to the front of a large tatami building, which looked very magnificent.

I know that this is the ancestral hall of the shrine, and the so-called monk should be in it.

In fact, there are many people in the open space in front of the ancestral hall, but they don't say a word, stand or kneel, close their eyes, put their hands together, and pray devoutly.

I didn't know until I asked that these people were all people who had a disaster recently or their families. They stood here to pray and listened to the sound of the wooden fish of the monks. It is said that they can eliminate disasters and solve the difficulties.

Just standing outside the shrine can eliminate disasters and solve difficulties. This monk looks really amazing.

But how can such a monk meet me?

While thinking about it, I looked around. Since this place is called Leiyun Shrine, I'm sure some places should have something to do with Leiyun Monk.

Sure enough, I found that there were rockery, clear springs and waterwheels on both sides of the empty courtyard, and under the middle rockery, there was a statue of a bird-headed person.

The strangest thing is that there is a mask of a one-horned ghost on the side of the statue's head.

I was shocked and looked carefully. It turned out to be the same mask worn by the street marcher I saw before.

Maybe it's just a coincidence, but I always feel that the mask has a special evil.

I can see God, and at this time, the girl Qi Liuhai next to me said, "Because today is Ghost Day, the monk will open the door to show mercy to everyone later and personally resolve the people in distress."

Looking at the watch, Qi Liuhai said again, "It's almost five minutes left. We're here at the right time."

As soon as he finished speaking, I saw that the light in the ancestral hall suddenly lit up. Through the paper door, I saw two people holding a bald monk slowly approaching.

The appearance of the monk created a lot of ** for the scene, and many people excitedly called the name of the monk.

Then, the door was pulled left and right.

At this time, the people kneeling on the ground stood up and bowed to the monks one after another.

But I didn't do that, but turned my head and walked out.

Because I saw that the monk's face, long eyebrows, fine eyes, big mouth, round nose, and the white-haired old man who died in the ruins was exactly the same as the reincarnation of that guy!

At that time, in the hallucination, because of his mind and skills, I was not afraid of him and killed him with all my strength, but now if I let him catch him, I will die.

But when I turned my head to leave, the two girls shouted, "Sir, what's wrong with you? Sir!"

I lied that I suddenly thought of something important to do, to leave for a while, and then ran out.

The believers who came along the road looked at me with a strange look.

I ran for a while, and when I looked back at the monk, I found that although he looked at me, he didn't seem to be malicious.

At this time, I knew that I might have been too worried. The monk may not know me and had nothing to do with the white-haired old man, but simply looked like him.

But even so, I feel that I can't stay here for a while, because things are really weird.

I turned my head and continued to walk out through the crowd. At this time, a thin man blocked my way.

The man narrowed an eye and looked up at me with a smile on his face.

At a close look, it turned out to be the old man who collected the temple construction fee outside the door just now.

I looked at him with inquiring eyes, and he didn't speak English, but pointed to the direction of the monk behind him, and then pointed to the things in his hand.

I saw that he was holding a stack of charms written on white paper in his hand, all in the shape of long strips at the top and bottom, with a full seven or eight.

After thinking about it, I asked, "Is this given to me by the monk?"

The old man nodded, took out a piece of paper, and wrote with a pen: "The monk can see that you are haunted by evil spirits. I will give you a charm to keep you safe."

Japanese traditional Chinese characters are almost the same as Chinese characters, and of course I understand them.

But do I really dare to ask for his things as a monk who looks so similar to the white-haired old man?

I looked back at the monk and saw that he was talking to a middle-aged woman with a quiet and peaceful expression on his face, and there was no murderous intention of the white-haired old man.

I knew that this couldn't be installed, so I hesitated and took the rune paper.

After my subordinates, my footsteps slowed down and I felt a little guilty.

Because the two girls took care of me, but in the end they didn't say thank you, so I left.

But I know that it will be more embarrassing to go back now.

So I sighed, passed through the crowd, and returned to the lively ghost market again.

While looking at the charm in his hand, he walked forward. Because the surroundings were too noisy and all kinds of lights flashed, his spirit seemed a little trance.

I walked for a while and felt hungry, so I casually found a ramen stall, ordered a bonito dolphin bone ramen, and sat on a small bench on the street to eat.

After eating a bowl of noodles, I patted my stomach and asked for a cabbage sushi, so I walked to the door with satisfaction.

After walking for another while, I saw a stinky salted fish on the street, so I went up and bought one.

I'm not used to this stinky salted fish, but I think if the worm's cub likes to eat carrion, this may suit its taste. You can take it back and try it.

Thinking of this, I can't wait to go back and see the reaction of the legendary mythical beast when it saw the stinky salted fish.

I didn't expect that as soon as I took a few steps forward, I saw the man wearing a unicorn mask standing not far ahead and staring at me.

This time it's not the back, but the front face.

It is particularly obvious because everyone else is walking, and only this person stands still in the crowd.

Seeing this scene, I also stood there and dared not move at all.

But when I stood for a while, I felt something was wrong.

Because everyone passed under the mask, but the mask did not move at all.

Does this mean that the body under the mask is empty and can be passed through casually?

What the hell is this? My cold sweat came out at once.

Just as my whole body was about to be sweaty, the mask suddenly moved and began to move towards me.

Looking at the mask getting closer and closer to me, my feet couldn't move at all.

But when the mask got closer and closer to me, I found that it was hung on a pole.

A masked businessman is slowly coming towards me with a pole full of masks.

In fact, there are still many masks hanging on the pole, but the white one-horned ghost mask at the highest point is very conspicuous.

Just now, the hawker may have had something to do, so I temporarily put the pole in the middle of the road, but I almost scared me out of the disease.

I said that this is not the first time I have seen this mask today. This may not be a strange phenomenon, but this mask is too ordinary and conspicuous, so I can connect with it every time.

It seems that after going to the mysterious ruins, my spirit has become fragile.

When I saw the hawker coming slowly, I looked at the one-horned ghost mask and suddenly had a strange idea.

I stopped the hawker, bought the mask, and put it on my face.

I think this can make me feel more at ease, because I want to prove that there is nothing strange about this mask.

Because it is a ghost market, many people wear strange masks, which will not surprise me.

So I took a long breath, relaxed my spirit, and walked to the exit of the ghost market.

Out of the ghost market, I looked at the time and found that it was 11 p.m. The calming medicine taken by Daxiong and Yuting should be about to expire. They should need me very much now.

So although it was not far, I still took a taxi.

After returning to the hospital, I went straight back to my ward, cut the salted fish into small pieces and put it in the bathtub.

After careful observation for a long time, I found that the Miura did not move at all. I lost my patience and was ready to take a shower first.
