"The devil is reincarnated?"
"Haha, I'm not a demon!"
Hearing Pei Wende's exclamation, the young man was obviously stunned, and then denied it with a smile.
"The Demon Buddha is an anti-dharma disciple from Tianzhu in the Western Region. He is a giant demon in the Qin and Han Dynasties. How can he be a small person like me?"
"Even His true 'reincarnation' died eighteen years ago."
Pei Wende could see that the boy did not lie, but he also did not tell the truth.
Or to be more precise, the boy only told part of the truth, but hid some more critical information.
"Okay, I'll take it as what you're telling the truth!"
Fortunately, Pei Wende did not expect to find out the traces of the demon Buddha at once, so he turned to inquire about some more obvious truths.
"Then you can tell me, what happened to this temple?"
"Also, what's going on with those evil spirits outside?"
Facing Pei Wende's unceremonious question, the young man just smiled bitterly, and then sighed in a sad tone.
"The truth about this place...you can look around."
Hearing this, Pei Wende was stunned for a moment, then looked around the dark room.
"Is that a shrine?!"
Until then, Pei Wende discovered that in addition to the bed where the boy rested, there were more than a dozen shrines quietly placed in the darkness in this room.
I saw that each of those shrines enshrined a paper figure with different names and birthdays written on them.
And one of the paper figures had the word "Zhen Jing" written on it.
"You really raised those evil spirits outside?!"
As soon as Pei Wende finished speaking, before the young man could reply, the girl who had been listening outside finally couldn't help it anymore and immediately yelled loudly.
"Dan Chenzi!"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Brother Jue obviously wants to save everyone!"
Hearing the sudden scolding from behind him, embarrassment flashed across Pei Wende's face.
Pei Wende suddenly regretted putting on the "Dan Chenzi" vest, because he clearly saw a fleeting look of surprise on the young man's face.
The boy obviously didn't know how Pei Wende used the identity of "Dan Chenzi" to fool the girl at the mountain gate.
So I was a little confused as to why the girl called Pei Wende "Dan Chenzi".
"Dan Chenzi?"
However, the young man obviously didn't care about Pei Wende's embarrassment. He just repeated the name "Dan Chenzi" thoughtfully.
"Girl, he is not Dan Chenzi."
One sentence exposed Pei Wende's lies.
Although the young man didn't know why he was so familiar with the name "Dan Chenzi", he was very sure that the young man in front of him was not Dan Chenzi.
"Not Dan Chenzi?"
The girl glanced at Pei Wende with confusion, as if she didn't understand why the boy said that Pei Wende was not Dan Chenzi.
"Ahem, this is just a misunderstanding..."
When someone exposed the fact that he was lying to his face, even Pei Wende couldn't help but blush and immediately changed the subject.
"You haven't told me yet, what's going on with those evil spirits outside?"
Speaking of this, Pei Wende suddenly felt that something was wrong - why was the young man in front of him so sure that he was not "Dan Chenzi"?
But before Pei Wende could continue to think about it, the young man began to tell the origin of this ghost temple.
"Things have to start a few years ago..."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ci Guang Temple was once one of the major Buddhist temples in the local area, but a few years ago it was found guilty of embezzling land and hiding important criminals, resulting in the temple being confiscated by the government overnight.
Regardless of whether this is true or false, Ciguang Temple has since become a wild temple that others avoid.
In addition, Ciguang Temple itself enshrines Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, the legendary god of the underworld, which makes the people at the foot of the mountain even more reluctant to go up the mountain to pray.
Over time, the once prosperous Ciguang Temple naturally turned into empty ghost temples.
However, the common people who are afraid of Ciguang Temple do not know that as early as a few years ago, this famous ghost temple was occupied by a girl of unknown origin.
The girl never goes shopping at the foot of the mountain, and she never comes into contact with the villagers at the foot of the mountain...
When he was hungry, he would go to the temple’s cultivated fields to look for food; when he was thirsty, he would go to the stream in the back mountain to fetch water.
If there are no accidents, the girl's life should continue like this until she dies due to malnutrition.
But the reason why an accident is an accident is because it comes so unexpectedly.
One day, when the girl went to fetch water from the stream, she picked up a skinny street boy at the gate of the temple and had a high fever.
The girl didn't know whether the other party was abandoned by her parents or a refugee who had fallen into trouble here.
Out of instinctive kindness, she took the street child back to the backyard and took good care of him until he recovered.
"From today on, your name will be Ajue!"
Flicking through the only half of books left in the temple, the girl pointed to the only word "jue" she recognized among them, and smiled as she gave the wanderer who had lost all his memory a new name.
"..."
The wandering child named "Ajue" did not speak, but since that day, the two of them lived naturally in this abandoned ancient temple.
The girl is still so lively and lively, and the boy is still so taciturn.
It's just a life of two people supporting each other, but it has changed the pattern of a single life.
The girl is still unwilling to go down the mountain to meet strangers, but the boy often goes down the mountain to buy the daily necessities that the two of them need.
In the process, the young man gradually revealed his amazing wisdom and managed to organize the two people's originally chaotic lives.
But similarly, the girl also discovered another unknown side of the boy in the process...
"I said, we can't even support ourselves, so why don't you stop recruiting people to the temple?!"
Although she complained like this, the girl looked at the shivering child hiding behind the boy, and finally chose to take him in - just like she had taken in other street children picked up by the boy before.
Yes, the girl is used to the boy picking people up from time to time in the temple.
Because she discovered that although Ajue had lost all his memory, he was born with a kind heart. When he saw the homeless children at the foot of the mountain who were hungry, he could not help but bring them back to the temple for relief.
Fortunately, Ajue himself was very smart and had a girl to help him, so he could live a comfortable life.
"I just want to survive. Why do I have to meet such a nosy young master like you!"
The girl had suspected more than once that before Ah Jue lost his memory, he might have been the young master of a certain big family.
Because in this era, only those people have such overwhelming sympathy, and they feel uncomfortable when they see others suffering.
