215. A stick
The old monk's words shocked Zhou Rui's heart.
The previous calamity has just passed, and the second calamity has been born again, does he really see something?
"You monk, what nonsense! I told you that we don't believe in Buddhism!" Song Fengxue said unhappily.
The old monk didn't say much, and only said to Zhou Rui: "The donor's trip, without the blessing of the Buddha's light, will definitely not go well." If you don't believe, go ahead. When you see the white snake remaining, you will know that the demons here are haunting, not nonsense. Then come back to me. Remember, you're the only one!"
After that, the old monk swayed and went in the direction of the temple again.
Perhaps seeing Zhou Rui's strange expression, Ji Qingyun pulled him and said, "Don't listen to this monk's nonsense, the gods are chattering." ”
Zhou Rui hummed and didn't speak, but the doubts in his heart didn't decrease at all.
What a white snake is left behind, a demon haunts, it sounds too ridiculous, and it is easy to distinguish the real from the fake. From this point of view, the old monk would not lie to him.
It's just that Ji Zeming and others are here, even if Zhou Rui wants to go to the old monk to ask for clarification, it is inconvenient, so he has to endure it for the time being.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there were too many people who came to burn incense, and the door of the White Tower Temple was broken. Ji Zeming and the others waited at the door for a while before squeezing in sweating.
Compared with the embarrassment of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zhou Rui is okay. He is strong and strong, and no one can squeeze him like a needle of the sea god. One hand grabbed Ji Qingyun's waist, and the other hand protected her like an arc to avoid being taken advantage of by those big pigs' trotters to rub the oil.
Ji Qingyun's face didn't know if it was because she was too close to Zhou Rui, or because it was too hot, and it was red, and it was so good-looking.
When you enter the White Tower, you will see a huge copper furnace that requires five people to hug each other. The furnace was already filled with all kinds of incense, and the smoke rose, filling the place with fog.
Several people in Taoist robes stood in front of the main hall and recited scriptures. Yu Daoren, who had seen it before, led everyone into the temple at the door to worship the statue of Sanqing.
Ji Zeming wanted to go over and talk to Yu Daoren, but there were many people who thought the same way, so he couldn't move.
I waited for nearly two hours before I walked to the front of the hall with the flow of people.
Ji Zeming hurriedly went up to salute Yu Daoren, and said, "Daoist Yu, I brought my wife to donate money to you!"
Yu Daoren smiled, glanced at Zhou Rui and Ji Qingyun, and said, "Thank you Mr. Ji's family, after the three donate, I will pray to Sanqing for you." ”
Ji Zeming felt slightly embarrassed and said, "Just my wife is alone, and the two of them are just here to see and understand." ”
Yu Daoren was slightly stunned, and then smiled undiminishedly, and said: "It's okay like this, one person is blessed, and the family is blessed, which is very good." ”
said so, but there was a hint of unnaturalness in the eyes that occasionally glanced at Zhou Rui and Ji Qingyun.
Obviously, Yu Daoren thought that the ecstasy incense in the sachet should have bewitched Zhou Rui and his family, so that the two of them came today to donate. Now that I heard that they didn't donate, I naturally wondered.
It's just that you can't say this, you can't ask it, you can only hide your doubts in your heart.
Ji Qingyun saw it more clearly than Zhou Rui, pulled him, and said in a low voice: "Is this the person?"
Zhou Rui smiled, patted her hand, and signaled not to worry.
Standing at the door of the main hall and looking inside, you can see three tall statues, namely the Yuqing Holy Realm Supreme Enlightenment Shouden Pangu Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Shangqing Realm Yuchen Daojun Lingbao Tianzun, and the Ten Thousand Sects Mixed Yuan Sect Master Taishang Laojun Dao Tianzun.
I don't know what material these three gods are, but they look very majestic, high up, like real gods looking down on the world.
However, when Zhou Rui entered the main hall, he felt an unusual aura.
The smell was slightly recognized, and it was recognized as ecstasy incense!
Anyone who comes to burn incense will definitely come to kneel and worship the statue, and in this hall, which has only one gate as the entrance, the concentration of ecstasy incense is much higher than that of the outside world. I'm afraid that few of the people who came in could escape the temptation.
Fortunately, before coming, the three members of the Ji family drank the talisman water left by Wen Zijian, and they would no longer be affected by the ecstasy incense.
What surprised him even more was that the hall was full of black gas, densely packed. Countless wisps were formed, entrenched on the foreheads of the people in the temple.
The amount of black gas on everyone's forehead is more or less, except for the three members of the Ji family, without exception!
Staring at the statue in front of him, Zhou Rui was shocked. This amount of black qi is definitely not generated for no reason, and there must be some huge source of calamity.
He deliberately took a few steps to the side, and found that the black gas was piercing through the wall, heading further back. Obviously, the source is not in the temple.
As a result, Zhou Rui's focus quickly shifted to other places.
The old monk in the temple said that the relics of the white snake can be seen here, but in addition to the statue of the god, the offering table, and the bustling crowd in the hall, where is the white snake?
At this moment, Zhou Rui suddenly heard someone ask: "Daoist Yu, I heard that when you built the Taoist temple, you dug out a hundred-meter-long white snake from the ground, is it true?"
Zhou Rui immediately turned his head to look, and saw that the Taoist explained to others: "A hundred meters long is naturally fake, and there are still about ten meters long." Unfortunately, it was dark at that time, and the workers made a mistake and shoveled the white snake in two. Later, after the completion of the construction of the Taoist temple, we felt the virtue of heaven's good life, so we buried the bones of the white snake in the backyard, ranked after the three Qings, and enjoyed the incense of everyone. In time, it may be able to help him become a god and benefit one party! If you want to see it, I can also show you a little bit of it. However, there are many things to do today, so I am afraid that I will have to wait a little longer. ”
Many people are a little excited to hear it, the big snake more than ten meters long has only been seen in movies in the past, where can I see it in reality.
Zhou Rui's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, is there really a white snake?
After thinking about it, he said to Ji Qingyun: "You stay here with your parents, and I'll go out for a walk." ”
Ji Qingyun hummed, didn't stop him, only told him to be cautious.
Zhou Rui didn't say much and squeezed out of the crowd. Seeing that almost everyone was busy burning incense or entering the temple to worship, he seemed to be casual, and followed the guidance of the black qi and slipped from the main hall to the back.
Behind the main hall is another fenced courtyard with a locked gate.
Zhou Rui walked around the four corners, then climbed up along the wall, and when he lay there, he saw several houses in the yard. The windows and doors were closed, so you couldn't see what was inside, but faintly, you could hear a faint voice coming from a certain room.
The sound is too quiet, and the sound of other objects colliding is mixed in, so it is difficult to hear.
Zhou Rui hesitated, but still took out the Book of Ethics and thought silently.
The next moment, the voice in my ears became clear.
"Did you send the new ingredients?" Lao Yu said that he was running out of what he had made before. ”
"It's here, there are a lot of people today, and I'll bring it when the people disperse in the evening." ”
"These fools are also busy enough. Fortunately, it's almost over, have you figured out where to go?"
"Didn't you say it, go to South Africa to avoid the limelight first, and then go to country E when you are the emperor of Turkey for a few years. When the limelight is over, come back and do his vote!"
"Actually, I would rather go to Ukraine, I heard that there are many beautiful women there. ”
"I think you've been poisoned by that white snake, and you've been thinking about beautiful women all day long. ”
"Hehe, snakes are intoxicating, snake venom can be used as ecstasy incense, and it's normal to be fascinated by me. ”
Zhou Rui's brows furrowed when he heard this, this group of people is already ready for a retreat route?
And judging from their words, it is true that a white snake was killed when the White Pagoda Temple was built, and the snake venom was made into ecstasy incense.
Looking at other locations, Zhou Rui's eyes suddenly froze, and in one of the rooms, he saw wisps of black gas.
There was a lot of black gas, pouring out of the room like silk threads, and constantly dispersing in all directions.
The vast majority of them flocked to the location of the main hall.
Zhou Rui's brows furrowed even tighter, the source of the black qi was unknown, but it was certain that it was not a good thing.
At this moment, suddenly a stick was thrown into the yard and smashed on the roof with a loud noise.
The sound in the room stopped abruptly, and then the door opened quickly, and the two rushed out and shouted, "Who!"
Zhou Rui, who originally planned to take out the Book of Ethics and use the golden light to capture the words of these people as evidence, knew that it was bad when the stick was thrown over, and hurriedly jumped off the wall.
Before jumping down, he glanced in the direction where the stick was thrown, and outside the other wall, Zhou Rui saw the old monk standing there smiling at him.
Is it the stick he throws?
scolded in his heart, and when he heard the footsteps in the yard, Zhou Rui didn't care too much about it, and hurriedly ran back.
The courtyard door opened, and several people chased them out from inside, and they looked around, where could they still find Zhou Rui's traces.
They were all dressed in Taoist robes, but their faces were fierce, and they stared here and there, but they couldn't find anyone, so they scolded a few words in a low voice and went back to the courtyard.
At this time, Zhou Rui had already walked quickly to the front of the main hall. He didn't go back to Ji Qingyun, but left the White Tower Temple directly.
As soon as I walked out of the door of the White Pagoda Temple, I saw the old monk walking along the wall.
Zhou Rui held back the fire in his heart, and immediately walked to the other party, but before he could speak, the old monk smiled and said: "Donor believe what I said now, this trip will not go well without the light of the Buddha." ”
Zhou Ruiqi's lungs were about to explode: "If you hadn't thrown a stick, where would it not have gone well?
"The donor didn't know that the white snake had been practicing for many years, and he suffered misfortunes and resentment. It blames the people here for not stopping the White Pagoda Temple, so the resentment implicates sentient beings. And the donor himself has another catastrophe, he is still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and if he cares about this matter, he is afraid that he will die. The old monk said: "It's better to come to my temple to burn incense and embrace the Buddha, and ask for the blessing of the Buddha, which can naturally come naturally." ”
"Can I solve this matter by going to your temple?" Zhou Rui asked.
"That's nature. The Dharma is boundless, and the shore is the shore. The old monk said.
