"Sarira Prajna, Ksitigarbha Dharma Eye."
Miao Kong chanted the incantation silently, and a golden flame burst out of his eyes, burning and dancing in his pupils.
Under the Dharma Eye, demons and devils could not hide.
When he looked at the woman and the five burly men, he saw something unusual.
The basket that was originally made of green bamboo had become a horrifying object made of bones and hair.
What was inside were not sweet and delicious snacks, but pieces of blood and flesh mixed with white tendons and broken bones.
However, in the eyes and mouths of the five burly men, these were snacks that could make people unable to stop eating. They could be said to be delicacies in the world.
As for the woman, she looked like a natural beauty on the surface, but in fact, she was just a skeleton ghost.
At this moment, the skeleton was greedily looking at the food in front of it.
Yes, eat more. Eat until you're full. That way, when I eat you, it'll be easier to eat.
That was what the skeleton ghost thought.
"Amitabha."
Suddenly, a Buddhist chant sounded, startling the skeleton ghost. It subconsciously turned around, only to see a palm flickering with golden light.
"Merciful Thousand Leaves Palm."
Miao Kong pressed down with his palm. Dazzling Buddhist light circulated and scattered the skeleton ghost, leaving only a wisp of its soul.
The sudden movement also woke up the few burly men who were addicted to food.
"Ghost! There's a ghost!"
"Ugh!"
"Let's go! Hurry up and leave!"
When they came back to their senses, they realized that there were terrifying and disgusting things in their hands, on the ground, and in their mouths. Their faces turned pale as they fled in panic.
"You brought this upon yourself. You can't live."
Miao Kong didn't stop him and just watched indifferently.
After being eaten by a living person, the flesh of a dead person that was soaked in ghost energy would take root and gradually assimilate the entire body.
These people didn't have many days left to live.
However, Miao Kong had no intention of reminding him, nor did he want to make a move.
These people were not good people. Each and every one of them carried the karma of evil creatures 'resentment.
Moreover, just like what Miao Kong had said, he had brought this upon himself.
If it weren't for the greed of these burly men, with the blood, Qi, and baleful aura of five strong men who had killed before, the skeleton ghost might not have been able to do anything to them.
However, after having evil thoughts and eating the flesh of a dead person, his blood and Qi were in a mess, and his murderous aura was replaced by desire. Naturally, he became a ghost's meal.
Everything was his own fault.
Miao Kong was more concerned about the Shing Wong Temple than the fate of the brawny men.
As everyone knew, the City God was one of the gods bestowed by the Heavenly Court in the human world. He was on par with the River God, the Earth God, and the Kitchen God. They were all gods stationed in the human world.
The duty of the City God was to communicate between the human world and the netherworld, to prevent ghosts from lingering in the human world and disturbing the living in the world of the living. At the same time, it was also responsible for judging ghosts and escorting them to the netherworld.
However, this immortal, who could be said to be the natural enemy of ghosts, was guarding a large human city like Hangzhou.
Such a Shing Wong temple could actually tolerate ghosts and spirits causing trouble under the eyes of the god statue!
This was completely illogical.
With that skeleton ghost's methods, he would use a honey trap to eat a few mortals. Logically speaking, he would lose half his soul just by looking at the Shing Wong Temple.
However, this little brat actually dared to wantonly kill living people in the Shing Wong Temple!
Furthermore, Miao Kong had noticed something amiss when he was worshiping the Shing Wong Statue.
This statue was a little…dumb?
Or rather, it was just a simple god statue. There was no real Shing Wong behind it.
In other words, there was no Shing Wong in Hangzhou's Shing Wong Temple!
It was simply absurd!
Miao Kong was a little surprised by this guess, but it could only be explained in this way.
But this explanation was too ridiculous.
As one of the top human cities, Hangzhou did not have a City God!
What were the people of the Heavenly Court's Inspection Department doing?
Moreover, there was something even stranger.
Miao Kong noticed that the Shing Wong statue of the Shing Wong Temple was very dull, but it was not a simple clay statue. It had a slight supernatural reaction.
But this was the strangest part.
With the population of Hangzhou and the constant incense offerings to the Shing Wong Temple, even without the Shing Wong, the wish power and incense offerings of thousands of living people should be able to pile up a divine persona with intelligence.
However, the City God Temple, which had been worshipped by the people of Hangzhou for decades, had only condensed a divinity that did not react even when Gui Mei came in front of it.
It was too ridiculous.
Where did all that incense and wish power go?
No way…
Miao Kong's eyelids twitched.
"I caught a big fish as soon as I arrived in Hangzhou?”
Miao Kong only felt that his life was gloomy. If nothing unexpected happened, he was afraid that he would fall into some kind of incident again.
Of course, Miao Kong could choose to retreat now. It was still not too late, but…that old bald monk from the Golden Mountain Monastery would probably not agree…
"Sigh."
Miao Kong sighed and pulled out the remnant soul. He sent in a ray of Buddhist light to stabilize the ghost's consciousness.
"You can't kill me! If you kill me, Master will find out! You won't have a good ending!"
Before Miao Kong could say anything, the ghost began to roar and threaten him.
"Who is your master?"
Miao Kong said expressionlessly. A bright Buddhist light appeared in his palm, causing the ghost to tremble in fear.
It knew that the meaning of the little monk in front of it was very simple. If he said it, everything could be discussed. If he didn't say it, his soul would scatter.
"Giant mouth! My master calls himself Gigantic Mouth!"
Gui Mei decisively cowered and hurriedly said,""That's all I know. I'm just a ghost slave collecting blood for the Giant Mouth Ghost King! Please be merciful and spare the little brat this time!”
Giant mouth?
Miao Kong frowned. There didn't seem to be this so-called Giant Mouth Ghost King among the Ten Ghost Kings of Hell.
Of course, the ten Ghost Kings belonged to the Emperor of Feng Du and cultivated the orthodox Ghost Immortal Dao, so it was impossible for them to eat human flesh.
"What else do you know?"
"No more! That's all the little brat knows!"
Miao Kong nodded. With a flick of his finger, he scattered the remnant soul, leaving only a pure true spirit. Then, he opened a door to the underworld and threw it in.
"It seems that the disappearance of the incense and wish power in the City God Temple is related to the Giant Mouth Ghost King.”
Of course, this didn't mean that the Giant Mouth Ghost King was a fake Shing Wong who stole the incense offerings.
But since this fake Shing Wong allowed the Giant Mouth Ghost King's subordinates to hunt in his territory, it meant that the Giant Mouth Ghost King knew him.
This was a breakthrough point and the only useful information Miao Kong had.
"Let's go into the city tomorrow to take a look."
Miao Kong looked up at the mighty statue of the City God, as if he was looking at something through the clay statue.
"Wait, I'll find you soon."
"Stealing incense, pretending to be a god, colluding with evil spirits, killing people.”
"Any one of them should make your soul scatter.”
