Above all spirits

Chapter 177 Your Lingguang Temple, I Will Protect It

That was also the first time he met Yunyin.

...

There are not many monks at Lingguang Temple, and the abbot is a kind old monk.

On that very day.

He encountered two children with helpless eyes walking through the gates of Lingguang Temple.

At first he thought.

The two children are just lost.

The parents will come soon.

So they took care of them for a period of time.

But several days passed.

But things didn't turn out as he expected.

No one came to look for the lost child.

These two children were also exceptionally well-behaved, neither crying nor making a fuss.

It was as if it had fallen from the sky.

The old monk and the other monks all liked him very much.

that's it.

The two children lived at Lingguang Temple for a period of time.

Unfortunately, good people often don't live long.

It didn't take long.

The old monk then sensed that his time was coming to an end.

We simply cannot afford to continue adopting these two children.

Reluctantly, they entrusted the two to a pilgrim who frequently came to offer incense.

he knows.

This pilgrim happened to be the director of a welfare home in the city.

Subsequently.

Then all the monks dispersed as well.

It "died" in people's memories along with Lingguang Temple.

...

but.

This does not mean that Lingguang Temple no longer exists.

just.

It changed later.

...

Despite its renowned reputation, Lingguang Temple...

It has attracted many pilgrims and tourists to come and worship.

But in reality, its economic situation is quite tight.

Inside the temple, many buildings are dilapidated, with peeling and crumbling walls and rickety doors and windows.

The marks of time are deeply imprinted on every brick and every beam.

The old monk lived a life of poverty.

It's driven by belief.

period.

Some investors and even the government intend to develop Lingguang Temple into a city attraction.

They all politely declined.

The old monk once said...

He makes no plans for the future.

You can fix it however you like.

I just hope I can give him some time.

He wanted to walk through the long river of time with this old friend.

No matter how broken or old it is.

but.

It accompanied him throughout his life.

...

later.

Gu Yun had also visited Lingguang Temple many times.

after all.

Without Lingguang Temple, without Yunyin's company.

All alone, I came to this strange world.

He couldn't escape that dark abyss on his own.

but.

The past is now just smoke in the wind.

It has changed a lot.

Various stalls, various gorgeous decorations, and even cables leading up the mountain.

Everything is different.

This is the end.

This memory was also deeply sealed in the depths of Gu Yun's soul.

No wonder.

We've just come this far.

It was so unfamiliar, yet so familiar.

...

"I know you're here. Come out."

Gu Yun slowly stood up.

Having regained this memory, he has reclaimed his power.

The physical fatigue vanished in an instant.

Gu Yun did not blame the inner demon that had "tricked" her.

In fact.

He accepted the punishment it had imposed on him.

That's right.

It is punishment.

I can't believe I've even forgotten such an important memory.

The punishment is due.

Gently gazing at the empty interior of the temple.

said softly.

"Don't worry, I'll find it for you."

Gu Yun remained calm and composed.

They stood quietly in place.

I do not know how long it has been.

A dark figure slowly emerged from the ancient Lingguang Temple.

He staggered a few steps toward Gu Yun.

The final result is a complete outline of a child.

How could Gu Yun not know the inner demon before him?

It's just like me when I was a child.

Perhaps this is the root cause of the difference in how I behave compared to other people who have fallen into demonic possession.

He didn't know how crazy other people's inner demons were.

How to bewitch the original body.

And how does it devour the main body and usurp its place?

But undoubtedly, the word "influence" is inseparable from all of this.

Regardless of the form it takes.

Gu Yun now.

We were definitely affected.

If it were the former type of extreme evil inner demons, it wouldn't affect Gu Yun in the slightest.

Are your inner demons weak?

Gu Yun did not think so.

Where is the inner demon, capable of suppressing a portion of its own power within its own mental world, weak?

The shadowy figure slowly approached Gu Yun.

It seemed to be testing whether Gu Yun would harm it.

Gu Yun squatted down, exposing numerous weaknesses to show that he had no ill intentions.

The shadowy figure stopped when it was about two arm's lengths away from Gu Yun.

He uttered a muttered word towards Gu Yun.

While I was still pondering how to understand the meaning behind this murmur.

A child's voice naturally came to Gu Yun's mind.

"Can you promise?"

The emotions behind the child's voice were so helpless.

After a moment of surprise, Gu Yun nodded solemnly.

"You are me, and I am you."

"No matter what period of my life I am in, there is only one thing I truly care about."

"I think you are the one who understands my thoughts the most."

The shadowy figure remained silent, but nodded.

I agree with what Gu Yun said.

Gu Yun continued to convey his inner thoughts to the shadowy figure.

"But right now, my strength is far from enough to bring you and the people we cherish most back."

"I need you."

"Believe me, I will bring her back."

The shadowy figure uttered another confused murmur.

"what should I do?"

Gu Yun said frankly.

"At first I thought it was about controlling one's inner demons in order to improve one's suitability."

"But when I stepped into Lingguang Temple, which is deep in my heart."

"When I see you."

"I don't think it's necessary."

"Others are others."

"I am who I am."

"Everyone's situation is different."

"You and I are not on opposite sides."

"So how can there be any talk of who controls whom?"

"Perhaps your disappointment, your inferiority complex, your helplessness, and your negativity all affect me."

"but."

"This is also part of my emotions, a part of my emotions that I am unwilling to reveal to the outside world."

"That's why you were born."

"This does not mean I will abandon these feelings."

You don't need to hide from me.

Gu Yun reached out her hand, looking nostalgically at her former self.

"come back."

"Together we will."

"Will."

"Yunyin".

"Bring it back."

The dark figure trembled for a moment and jogged towards Gu Yun.

It swept past Gu Yun's outstretched hand.

She rushed straight into Gu Yun's arms.

After the last whispered words rang in Gu Yun's ears.

The shadowy figure merged into Gu Yun's silhouette.

...

"Hang yourself on a hook and you won't be able to change it for a hundred years."

"Gu, I hereby declare that from now on, you will be my home."

"I don't remember anything from before."

"I don't want to remember it either."

"But in the future."

"If I get lost again, you'll be responsible for finding me and bringing me home!"

"Um..."

"If you really can't find it, then come to Lingguang Temple."

"I'll be waiting for you over there."

...

...

"Only a dog would lie."

Gu Yun responded softly to the shadowy figure's last murmurs.

Looking around at the Lingguang Temple, it seemed to be on the verge of collapse because it had lost the support of the dark shadow.

He gently raised his hand.

He waved his sleeve.

An invisible force surged from his sleeves.

The temple, which had begun to tilt and sway, stabilized instantly.

The beams that were about to break just seconds before straightened up again.

Even the broken tiles were all restored and put back in their places.

“Your Lingguang Temple.”

"I will protect you."
