第七十五章

那座古刹有多少岁月自己不记得了,只是知道香火不再鼎盛后,老和尚次年就死了庙里后来就只剩下三个和尚了。

庙宇没了香客的供养年久失修,大殿和偏殿都开始破落了,下雨天大殿顶上的瓦片已经不能挡雨了,三个和尚在后院种了些菜平时下山化些斋饭勉强生活度日,每日里大和尚带着两个师弟打坐念经也倒是精进修行。

我当时收了这座庙大殿前的老榕树,恢复本命化念气,再有五十五年就可圆满。

但看这情形这庙子是坚持不了那么久了,一旦庙宇荒废那些精怪就会占了此地,佛家的纯清结界也就破了。

平时夏天的时候他们三个晌午间都在树下打坐,那个最小的和尚叫空云只有十五岁,从小没了爹娘是老和尚在外化缘时候捡回来的,当时已经饿的奄奄一息了,但他年纪最小老和尚和师兄们对他都很关照,老和尚圆寂后骨坛就在大殿后面的祭塔里,空云每日早晚间时候就来和老和尚说话,没有香油就把自己的斋饭摆一摆,是有孝心的孩子。

我有心帮他,在他修行之时每日自树干灌顶给他天地清气,让他早入阿赖耶识之境。他也算争气虽然天资一般但勤奋修行二十七岁那年清明前夕,自树下得果入定了。

他那两个师兄自然知道他怎么了,即羡慕又惊喜若是空云得道,那这座庙宇就有重新鼎盛的机会,两人不敢打搅空云给他又搭了一个简单的草棚,一个月过去了空云还是没有出定,二师兄就和大师兄说,我去下山化缘吧,去到城里找那几家大商贾让他们出资修缮庙堂,大殿已经不修不行了也让他来看空云的境界。

有了他们的支持,咱们一定能重新香火旺盛起来的,大师兄迟疑不决此时大殿前廊柱横梁突然掉落,大师兄便说等空云出定再做打算吧。

但二师兄执意不肯,当晚还是说服了大师兄,第二日一早二师兄下山了,三日后带了七人回来,其中一人我却发觉非人。

当晚他们住在寺庙,两人子夜时分来到大榕树处,其中一人道此树已难掩光华与这和尚入定有着莫大关系,能帮助人修持必是难得至宝,若能将此树炼制一批法器献于国师必大有好处(此人身内并非人魂)另一人道此树如此之大不知已经活了多少岁月了若炼制法器必定伤它性命,再者这毕竟是寺院如此行为怕是佛祖要怪罪。

当夜这人将另外六人杀死,并下山报官告知家属寺庙和尚图财杀人。

三个和尚便被打入死牢,那空云至此仍未出定,当夜数十人赶一牛车上山欲挖根移树。

空云现身劝阻,那人大惊拿出一包袱里面皆是金银之物,众人见此再次破土挖根空云见此点破此人非常人,已死三月有余因得异宝肉身未腐,那人被叫破真身肉身当即腐溃,他自口中吐出一黑色圆珠将其打在空云头上便仰天倒地众人见此四散奔逃。

空云身形渐渐变淡,来到我身前双掌合十念了一声佛号化流光而去。

但衙门已经得了好处,第二日将三个和尚带到菜市口处斩,刽子手先斩空云,但众人见空云头颅与肉身分开之际脖子喷出绿色浆水并无血液,肉身仍保持入定时的姿势。

众人见此自知空云已是得到之人,阻拦衙门再伤另外两人性命,后百姓筹款重新修了庙宇把空云的法身与老和尚一起供于后院,庙子又兴香火。

这世间原本修身得道的精怪和植物很多,但贪婪成性的人实在太多,能留存下来的千年树体已几乎没有。植物修体极为困难三百年方有灵智,若无人供养则再要五百年才有神识,但这八百年内不知有多少精灵借着树体修炼,阴气大的常导致天雷击杀,精灵在树内躲避多数时候树体也遭击毁。而一旦树体被人发现若是没有人庇护,大多被砍掉制成各种房屋木具本识俱灭。

那时若是没有空云自己的神识尚不能离体,必将被封在他们炼化的法器内,而为了增加法器威力神识和法器必会被炼化融合在一起,而自己再无重生可能。

炼化,炼化……脑中灵光一现。

如果将亡灵树尸鬼在压制下让王二黑的马队吃掉它们头上那朵花,也就是植物的意识,那马队不但能够继续变身战斗兽而且由于植物意识在压制下被吃掉,马队会保留自己的意识而不被侵占。

而亡灵树尸鬼在意识花被吃掉后就会把体内含有意识花的马匹当成主人,而马匹是王二黑的臣民那这些人就成了王二黑的战斗兽……

好讽刺,那牛老二心心念念的要把王二黑变成梦尸寨的战斗兽,甚至让他有天成为梦尸寨的外部族群,而等一下王二黑的马队将变成梦尸寨军队的主人,梦尸寨的战士成了王二黑的战斗兽。

一路上马队的速度缓慢让尸鬼尽量可以跟上,老夫人的队伍已经先一步回去,只留下和王二黑一起偷袭牛老二那支小队的幸存者和我们同行。

我对牛老二一直不太放心,当远远的看到刘家村的时候,还可以看见一缕缕的黑烟飘荡在村子上空。我拍拍王二黑的肩膀,我们要把尸鬼的力量吸收,我不放心那个男人我们先不进村你把队伍围成一个圈,我让它们进去然后我告诉你怎么做,就现在。

王二黑对身边的大黑马说了句什么,他进化前就是匹黑马,现在把马队的头马也安排成一匹大黑马,马群间也是有肤色偏好的吗。

马队很快形成了一条狭长的口袋,所有的马头都对着里面,我统御着山妹带亡灵树尸鬼排成一排,一个接一个的进入到圈子里面,之前所有的马队和骑手正好都是一人一马,这时我发现我骑的那匹矮骡马正哆哩哆嗦的夹在人群中跟着尸鬼们往里走。

我不禁笑起来,这个家伙即没跟马群变身战斗兽,也没像亡灵树尸鬼一样被人侵占意识,现在怎么会在这,它好像看到我了,马眼睛里湿漉漉的扭着脖子望着我……

这家伙在向我求助,我对它招了一下手让王二黑唤它过来。
