Chapter 63 That’s the mythical beast Listening!
Author: golden wind
The exterior decoration of the building is modern, but the door is an old-fashioned wooden door, which makes a "squeaking" sound when pushed open.
After walking in, I saw a row of cabinets facing the door. Strange patterns were painted on the cabinets with red cinnabar, and various peach wood swords and evil ghost masks were hung next to them.
"Jingjing, hasn't Goddess Bai finished worshiping yet? When will she come out?"
There were no lights on in the room, only a few candles were lit at the entrance.
The candlelight reflected a huge shadow on the wall, which swayed when the wind blew, like an evil ghost with teeth and claws, making Chen Wenxiu tremble when he walked in the door.
Chen Wenxiu felt her whole body tingle just looking at the shadow of the candle. She quickened her pace and got closer to Zhao Jingjing, and whispered in her ear.
"Cousin, don't worry. Goddess Bai will come out naturally after worshiping. It will only take a few minutes. We can just sit here and wait."
This was not Zhao Jingjing's first time here. She was familiar with the way and pulled people to sit down on the bench.
Seeing how nervous Chen Wenxiu was, he patted the back of her hand comfortingly, then lowered his head and started playing with his mobile phone.
Chen Wenxiu didn't have a good attitude like Zhao Jingjing. She looked at her phone for a minute and found that she couldn't read it, so she simply put the phone back in her pocket, closed her eyes and hugged Gu Yule tightly.
"Da da..."
The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Chen Wenxiu hugged her son and sat on the bench as if on pins and needles until she broke into a cold sweat all over her body.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in the room. Chen Wenxiu opened his eyes suddenly, and then saw an old woman with white hair pushing the door open and walking out of the room.
The old woman was short in stature, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was hobbling from a distance on crutches.
She was wearing a navy blue robe that had been washed white, and she had strange beads of unknown material on her neck and hands.
In appearance, she looks just like an ordinary old man in her seventies or eighties, but her eyes are exceptionally clear, with clear black and white, without any turbidity that should be expected at her age.
"Jingjing, is this your evil nephew?"
Madam Bai walked up to Chen Wenxiu and Gu Yule on crutches, glanced at the mother and son, and then turned to Zhao Jingjing beside her and asked.
"Yes, Goddess Bai, that's him!"
Zhao Jingjing nodded when she heard this. Seeing that Chen Wenxiu was still looking at Goddess Bai in a daze, she quickly poked her with her elbow to remind her.
"Hello, Goddess Bai! I am Jingjing's cousin, and this is my son Lele!"
Chen Wenxiu was poked by Zhao Jingjing's elbow and immediately came to her senses. She quickly stood up and introduced herself.
"Tell me, what is going on?"
After seeing Chen Wenxiu and her son, Goddess Bai frowned slightly unconsciously. She stretched out her hand to pull a chair and sat down. She tapped the bench with her cane to signal them to sit down too.
"This morning I took my son to play at his uncle's house. When he came back, his hands were like this. He said he was bitten by a monster. He went to many hospitals but couldn't cure it!"
Chen Wenxiu sat down on the bench again and hurriedly removed the gauze from the wound on Gu Yule's hand, revealing the black scar inside.
"Monster? What kind of monster?"
Goddess Bai originally had a calm expression, but when she saw the wound on Gu Yule's hand, her expression suddenly became serious.
"He, he said it was a monster with a tiger head... a dragon body and horns on its head!"
When Chen Wenxiu saw the ugly look on the face of Goddess Bai, she became nervous and tried to describe the appearance of the monster her son had said.
"Tiger head and dragon body, with horns on the head..."
Upon hearing this, Goddess Bai's face became solemn, she put the crutch aside, stood up, took Gu Yule's hand, and bent down to look closely.
"Bai Shenpo, is my cousin talking about the kind of mountain ghost that appeared in Lianhua Village before, which can kill people with one bite?"
Zhao Jingjing has known Goddess Bai for so long, and this is the first time she has seen such a serious look on her face, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Can't die! Lele can't die! Bai Shenpo, you must save him! As long as I can save Lele, I can give him any reward!"
Chen Wenxiu was already nervous. When she heard what Zhao Jingjing said about "mountain ghosts" and "one bite will kill you," she was so frightened that her legs went weak. Without caring about her face, she knelt down on the spot and cried and begged.
The couple had difficulty conceiving. They had such a son when they were in their fifties, and they had to go to the hospital for half their lives to get one.
Gu Yule is her life, if something happens to him, she won't be able to survive!
"Do you usually indulge your son and do any harm?"
Although Bai Shenpo looks cold, anyone who knows her well knows that she is a person with a cold face and a warm heart.
Whenever a poor family in the village had trouble and asked her for help, she would help without any payment.
But at this time, she was not moved by Chen Wenxiu's plea. Instead, she knelt on the ground holding the child and asked coldly.
"White Goddess, you, what do you mean?"
Chen Wenxiu burst into tears after hearing this, stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, and asked with a guilty conscience.
"The head of a tiger and the body of a dragon are one horn. That is the sacred beast Tingting under the hands of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva of the underworld!"
Goddess Bai let go of her hand holding Gu Yule's arm and looked at Chen Wenxiu as she spoke word by word.
The clear black and white eyes of Goddess Bai looked at Chen Wenxiu intently, as if she could see through her heart.
Chen Wenxiu was stared at by these eyes, and her whole body trembled unconsciously, and she quickly moved her eyes away:
"You, you mean the monster that Lele said hurt him is a mythical beast?!"
"True Listening can listen to the voice of the heart, distinguish good from evil, and is known as the divine beast of judgment. The marks on your son's hands are judgment!"
Goddess Bai struck the ground with her cane and raised her voice.
"If he hadn't done anything bad, he would have received blessings when he met a mythical beast. But not only did he not receive blessings, he was put on trial, which means he did something bad. What's more serious is that he collided with a mythical beast on the spot!"
"What a mythical beast and what kind of judgment! You old pious woman can't cure illnesses, so don't talk nonsense!"
When Chen Wenxiu heard this, her whole body felt like it was struck by lightning. Before she could react, Gu Guolin rushed in from the door with a curse.
It's not easy to park at the entrance here, so he drove the car a kilometer away by himself before parking and walking over.
When I entered the door, I happened to hear what the White Goddess said, and when I saw my wife kneeling on the ground with her son in her arms, looking like she had been bullied, I was furious and strode forward to push the White Goddess.
"Cousin-in-law, please stop talking nonsense! Goddess Bai is really capable!"
Chen Wenxiu was still immersed in what Bai Shenpo said just now, and Zhao Jingjing on the side was shocked when she saw this, and rushed to dissuade her.
"What's your real ability? I think it's your ability to deceive people and make money!"
