Chapter 51 Starving Ghost

"Taoist Master, it seems someone is coming."

The silver armor in the darkness glowed coldly. The old Taoist priest narrowed his eyes and smiled, raised his hand and said, "Go and keep an eye on Lu's daughter and act accordingly."

"yes."

The note clearly stated that if Lu's daughter wanted to survive, she could only come to the Chenghuang Temple alone to attend the appointment.

but.

He didn't say that the person coming must be Bai Ye, it was just his tacit understanding.

So when the torch was lit and he saw the figure in front of him, his excited brows were instantly mixed with incredible shock and sadness.

After a long time.

Lu Xiling, who was in the gutter, finally heard the noise outside - it was still a rough male voice reciting scriptures.

She didn't believe this, so she didn't know what he was talking about.

The man said: "This is the Rebirth Mantra, which can help people in the world get rid of all the pain in this world and send them to the year of great happiness and longevity in the Great Luotian."

Lu Xiling understood.

This is telling her to die.

fine.

At least she no longer has to worry about whether Bai Ye will come to save her, let alone how to escape the control of the demon after leaving the city.

It's already hard enough for relatives in Shu, so don't let these celebrities with lofty ideals be in trouble because of an orphan girl.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiling felt relieved.

She tried to communicate with the believer: "Sir, I heard that if a person has unfulfilled wishes before death, he will become a lonely ghost wandering around the world after death. Is this true?"

The sound of chanting paused.

The man turned his head and looked at the little lady cowering on the ground, and thought of what the Pure Land Sect said, "Let go of your body and mind, and don't fall in love."

Lu Xiling took advantage of the situation and started talking about the late sage Zeng Yun’s saying that “Buddhism and Taoism do not separate families.”

So, regardless of whether the Pure Land Sect is a "professional suicide team", their opinions are still worthy of reference.

The man was deeply impressed, stopped sharpening the knife, and asked: "What else is the county master's last wish for? If I can fulfill it, I will definitely help you gain liberation."

There is drama.

Lu Xiling decided to do something miserable.

She sighed and said: "The righteous people just heard it from the side. Now I have no parents or brothers. Even my relatives have abandoned me long ago. There is really nothing worth cherishing in this world, except..."

"I couldn't even finish a mouthful of food, and I felt very panicked."

man:"……"

Lu Xiling smiled miserably: "My little girl really doesn't want to be a starving ghost."

Wearing a blindfold, Lu Xiling seemed to be able to see the disgusted face of the other party even from a distance of ten feet.

Don't you just think that she has no future? Her life is almost at risk, and her future is really useless.

Fortunately, the man was not only a little crazy, but also a loyal fan. Lu Xiling told her his last wish, and he complied with it.

The man stepped on his feet and took a look outside. When he saw the two people in the distance still frozen, his thoughts changed.

It is estimated that the little lady's life or death has not yet been completely determined.

In this way, it is just to satisfy her request. No matter whether she dies or lives later, it will be a meritorious deed for herself.

Why not do it?

The blindfold was lifted.

Lu Xiling looked at the environment through his fingers.

"Is this... a seepage pit?"

The underground sewage ditch built with bricks on three sides is connected to the open ditch on the outside, and contains excrement and urine sewage. It is also called the underground water layer through which the seepage pond flows.

Just like her imagination, the bubbles bubbling deep in the seepage pit were really...

No wonder there are no patrols here.

"vomit--"

Turning his head, Lu Xiling recognized the man in his peripheral vision.

If not the refugee who thought he was good at knife skills when recruiting workers that day, then who was he?

After hiding for several days and living without food, the man brought out the few dried vegetables left. When he came out, he saw Lu Xiling lying on his stomach and retching.

In the past, prisoners' corpses had to be disposed of, and they were too busy to leave their bodies for a while. It was normal for the corpses to fester. In those years, he was used to smelling the dirty smell of blood in the execution hall, so he never cared about the living environment.

But the Taoist priest is different. When he stays here at night, he always has to have some fun.

Just like Lu Xiling's current posture.

Both of them were once extremely noble. Logically speaking, how could the dignified county master endure the stench and eat here?

Could it be that the rumors are true?

Then the county chief is very serious about eating!

The man shook his head and walked straight over.

That's all, death is liberation. The exiled dignitaries would be thankful for a mouthful of rotten food on the road, not to mention having to endure the stench while eating.

"Thank you very much..." Lu Xiling covered his mouth and nose and said, "Please help the righteous men to block the innermost stone crack."

The man looked back and saw that following the direction of the wind, there was indeed an imperceptible gap in the stone bricks connecting the cave.

He rubbed it with rough fingers.

Lu Xiling watched the other party's every move, fearing that he would regret it.

I don't know when the demon will order her to be killed, and her speculation is so ambiguous, and the actual operation is even more uncertain.

She didn't want to waste any more time, so she added: "The draft at the entrance of the cave is a bit strong, and I'm afraid it won't be able to ignite sparks just by relying on flint and steel."

"Your Majesty's Order."

The man shook his hand, picked up the quilt from the ground, and walked deeper into the cave entrance while muttering scriptures.

And a hundred steps away from the cave entrance.

The old Taoist priest looked at the man in silver armor standing opposite with a blue face.

"I think His Highness the Second Highness should not be called Bai Ye, but should be called White Eyed Wolf. When the First Queen was in power, she protected him a lot. Now that the First Queen's clan is in trouble, he is actually indifferent?"

The silver-armored man's voice was low and hoarse: "A dragnet has been set up inside and outside the city. My Highness said that you have no way to escape, so it is best to release him as soon as possible, so that you can leave a whole body."

"The whole corpse?" The old Taoist priest laughed wildly, as if he didn't expect Bai Ye to be so arrogant.

He made a desperate move and said: "In exchange for the two lives of mine and the Lu family's daughter, in exchange for the world's contempt and disdain for the new emperor, this deal is worth it!"

The old Taoist priest suddenly opened his arms, and his sleeves were trembling.

"He thinks it's over when I die? Go back and tell him! It's not over between us!"

"I, Chunyang Tongxuan, have been out of Fuling three times, turning my hands to make clouds and turning my hands to make rain. Without the puppet of the late emperor, I still have followers and students all over the world!"

"Without me, the 'Tao' in Shu will not be lost! My grand plan and great achievements are not over yet!"

He had exhausted all his traps and fought with his last resort. He thought that at least he would see Bai Ye, and even if he was in danger, he would die with him.

Unexpectedly, the other party did not accept the move!

He even sent a small soldier to deal with him, but refused to give in on any of his conditions.

He had been glorious for half his life, and now he was insulted to this extent by a yellow-haired little boy. How could he swallow this breath?

The sharp blade in his sleeves was frosted, and the old Taoist priest shouted loudly: "Ma Wu! Pull out Lu's daughter! Isn't Bai Er unwilling to save people? Then let his men see how Lu's daughter can die with fragrance! Let him

You know what a cruel and unjust person his master is!"

"boom--"

Before he finished speaking, there was an explosion, and the mud beneath their feet shook, and the City God's Temple not far away also swayed.

The old Taoist priest was shocked all over.

The man in silver armor subconsciously clenched his cuffs, and immediately a wave of heat penetrated his neck, burning his back.

The flying knife passed by my ear at some point.

Before the man in silver armor had time to catch the direction in which the old Taoist priest was fleeing, he turned around and ran towards the depths of the sewer filled with fireworks.

Dust accumulated near the cave entrance near the seepage pit, blurring the vision and making it difficult to even breathe.

After a brief suffocation, a pair of almond eyes appeared in the firelight like a beacon, which was particularly reassuring.

However, before the other party could even utter an exclamation, the two of them slipped and fell into the short well beside the bridge.
