Seeing that Gumu was still confused,

Zi Lingxiao sighed: "Silly boy, don't think about it anymore, this matter will be self-evident in the future, your senior brother Guohao has been in a catastrophe, and now he is being hunted down by officers and soldiers, trapped in Nanyang Heilong Town, wait for me to leave you all my life's work, go and rescue your senior brother Guohao, alas, speaking of which, this Guohao is not an extraordinary person, he is the reincarnation of the Western Lotus Arhat, he has a lot of connections with the emperor, and the emperor still depends on him? So he can't have an accident." ”

"Actually, these can be resolved as soon as Yuan Rong makes a move, but he is too cunning, he has to wait for you to go over and let you make a move, this guy shouts all day long that you can't violate cause and effect, and you must respect the rules of heaven, but if you think about it carefully, can that thing that violate the rules of heaven be missing him?"

Gu Mu raised his head and asked, "Master, I know that you have superb skills and are invincible in the world, but Senior Brother Yuanrong's Taoism is also unfathomable, if you two get up, whose chance of winning will be greater?"

Zi Lingxiao was stunned, he looked up and thought for a while before saying, "It's really a real fight, and Ten Yuanrong is not my opponent." ”

"But if he uses the Great Law of Soul Control, I won't be able to. He has direct control over my spirit and makes me obedient. Fortunately, this kid was born with a slight mind and no ambitions, and he is timid, if he is bold enough to create chaos for the demonic seizure, unless Dou Lao Yuanjun makes a move, I am afraid that no one will be able to control him, alas, hundreds of years later, the reincarnation of cause and effect, I will still become his disciple, so I can't mess with him. ”

Zi Lingxiao explained what happened, and asked Gu Mu to swear that he would never use the magic skills taught by Zi Lingxiao to rebel and hurt the heavens and reason. Then he knelt in front of the statue of Dou Lao Yuanjun and muttered a few words silently

。

He stood up and stepped in front of Gu Mu, who was so worried that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Zi Lingxiao sighed and said, "It's too late for ordinary teaching, since the two of us have the status of master and apprentice, let's just leave all my magic skills to you."

Speaking of this, Zi Lingxiao pressed his left hand the Baihui acupoint on the top of Gu Mu's head, and used the technique of taking off his robe and transposing himself to continuously input all his energy into Gu Mu's body, Gu Mu only felt a bang in his head, as if a stream of water poured into his body, and for a while his headache was cracking, and the Venus in front of him was chaotic, and when he woke up from the chaos, Zi Lingxiao had already passed away.

Gu Mu bought a coffin, buried Zi Lingxiao in a high ground in Chaoyang, Dongshan, and then knelt on the grave and pretended to cry bitterly. Then he crossed the horse and raised the whip, followed the message of the flying smoke, and went straight to Nanyang to rescue his senior brother Guohao.

Heilong Town, Tangzhou, Nanyang is located at the junction of Henan and Hubei provinces, where the products are abundant and the land is fertile.

There is a stone clerk in the town, who is kind and compassionate, and is the most compassionate.

The ancestors of the Shi family were scholars and heirlooms. Life is also comfortable and natural, the only thing that is unsatisfactory is that the seventh daughter is eight years old and has not yet given birth to a boy.

Looking at the huge family business, Mr. Shi kept sighing.

Mrs. persuaded: "As the old saying goes, unfilial piety is the greatest, and our family is not short of money, why don't you put in some effort to find a few girls from good families who are suitable for men to take as concubines, in case they can give birth to a big fat boy for you, it is also the creation of our old Shi family, so that we will not cut off the cigarette in our hands."

Shi Yuanwai took his wife's hand and said, "Madam, we are a loving husband and wife, and we are not allowed to mention the matter of concubines again." Back then, my father was framed and forcibly classified into Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party. If it weren't for your father's righteous words, he would have saved him desperately. My house has been raided all over the house, where is it today?"

"When we got married, my father set the family rules, strictly ordered me not to take concubines for life, and would rather die than live up to you, we have been here for so many years, and now that we are old, but we violate the strict rules of the family? ”

Mrs. persuaded for a long time, but the stone clerk shook his head like a rattle, but he didn't obey.

Mrs. had no choice but to say, "Let's go to the Buddha hall and ask for the Bodhisattva again, it is said that we are also a family of goodness, and we should not be left behind"?

After offering incense to the Bodhisattva, as soon as she finished saying her wish, Mrs. Shi felt drowsy, and she didn't have time to rush back to the bedroom, so she fell asleep directly against the offering table in the Buddha hall.

In the haze, she fluttered to a magnificent palace, and on the chair of the prince in the middle of the palace, there was a kind old lady sitting upright.

Madame Shi hurriedly saluted.

The old lady nodded and smiled: "Get up, it stands to reason that you husband and wife should build bridges and repair roads to pity the weak and pity the poor, and it is time to give you a son, but in your previous life, you were a flower keeper, and your family official was a flower protector, and the fate is that you can only have a daughter." I really can't help it. ”

Mrs. wept and said: "The great virtues of the past dynasties have said that the house of goodness will have afterglow. My lord and I have been fasting and reciting Buddha since we were children to release lives and save people, can't such merit change our fate?

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then stroked her palms and laughed: "That's right, if the family of accumulating goodness can't be fulfilled but wishes, who else in the world is willing to accumulate virtue and do good? In this case, I will give you a noble son, but this child is the reincarnation of the Western Lotus Arhat, if he is born into your family, I am afraid that you will obstruct his path of cultivating Buddhism." ”

Mrs. Shi cried with joy, she kowtowed her head again and again, and said: "I am a Buddhist chanter, and it is a blessing for my whole family to let Arhats come to my house, I will only support him, how can I stop him? If he is willing to become a monk when he grows up, I will also fully support it." ”

The old lady laughed and said, "This is very good, but don't forget what you just said, when your son does not eat, drink, cry and make trouble, there will be holy monks to take him as a disciple, go back, there will be good news in a few days."

After speaking, she stretched out her hand and pushed, Mrs. Shi was startled, and suddenly woke up, only to feel a faint pain in her forehead, and when she reached out and touched it, there was a bag the size of an egg.

Ten days later, Mrs. Shi reacted, the green plums in the courtyard were not yet ripe, so he couldn't wait to pick them off and chew them all indiscriminately, completely ignoring the sourness in his mouth.

Shi Yuanwai was dumbfounded, he touched his wife's belly and said suspiciously: "Could it be that your dream has come true? Are you really pregnant? Sour girl, well, it may be a son."

Ten months later, Shi Yuanwai's bitter expectations finally came to fruition, and after a loud cry, the midwife took out a big fat boy from the inner room, and shouted, "Congratulations to the outside, congratulations to the outside, the mother and child are safe, and they are still a son, seven pounds and nine taels." ”

Shi Yuanwai hurriedly hugged his son, his eyes were teary and his lips trembled and said, "Thank you Mother Wu, you have worked hard, and the money on the table is all yours." You take it, I will be grateful when the child is full moon."

During this time, the stone worker was tired, there were so many maids in the family, and it was okay to do odd jobs, but he was not allowed to touch his son, and he had to do everything by himself, lest others take care of him. When the child was full moon, Shi Yuanwai racked his brains, discussed with his wife several times, and finally named his son Shi Guohao.

After three years of happiness in this way, Shi Guohao, under the careful care of his parents, ate white and fat, like a ginseng fruit, and everyone loved it. Shi Yuanwai looked at his baby son, and his heart was as sweet as drinking honey.

Things in the world are often like this, the more worried about it, the more things go wrong, and the stone staff is worried all day long and cares for his son like a heart and liver, lest he get cold, hot, or sick.

But the child really got a strange disease.

That night, Shi Yuanwai came back from the ancestral hall, and saw his son staring blankly at the wall, so he wanted to go forward and hug and kiss him. Then he closed his eyes and cried aloud,

Shi Yuanwai was startled, he held his son and shook back and forth, anxiously comforting: "The baby doesn't cry, the baby is not afraid, I am a father."

But the little guy twisted his body back and forth, as if he was very desperate and cried endlessly, Mrs. Shi hurriedly grabbed a handful of rice candy and stuffed it for her son, who knew that the child desperately resisted, and the cry was miserable and made people's hearts tighten.

Shi Yuanwai was distressed, so he hurried to find Lang Zhong, but Lang Zhong tried his best to treat children's frightened night crying, but it was still useless, and finally he had to say helplessly: "I am Jiang Lang to do my best, please be smart outside."

Looking at the bruised baby son with a small face, Shi Yuanwai's heart was broken, and he sat on the ground and cried bitterly.

was making a lot of trouble, and the family came to report: "Outside the staff, there is a monk outside, who said that he has a deep relationship with the little master, and he has come to the front edge."

Shi Yuanwai was still stunned, and his wife had already shouted: "Please, please, this is the son's master."

"Amitabha"

Amid the loud sound of the Buddha's horn, a thin and withered middle-aged monk slowly walked in under the guidance of Jiading.

Shi Yuanwai and his wife hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried and said: "Holy monk help, when I sent my son Guanyin in a dream, I pointed out, saying that this child is your disciple, you must save him."

The monk ignored Mrs. Shi's nagging, and only asked softly, "Is there tea at home?"

Shi Yuanwai quickly stood up and said loudly: "Yes, yes."

Then he instructed his family: "Why don't you hurry up and show the holy monk tea"?

The monk waved his hand and smiled: "The poor monk is not thirsty, he only borrows tea for one use,"

When the family took out the tea leaves, the monk held the tea leaves and gently recited a few incantations, and then handed the dried tea leaves to the stone clerk and said, "Put it in your mouth and chew it."

Shi Yuan didn't dare to talk much, took the tea and chewed it in his mouth,

After a long time, the monk asked for the tea mixed with the saliva outside the stone member, gently pressed it on the child's navel, tightened it with a cloth and then recited softly:

"Don't cry, don't make trouble, I know your origin, read the Buddhist scriptures by the lotus pond, wear a jacket in the Thundering Temple, just because the Holy Lord needs to teach, ah, and go to the palace for a walk."

As soon as the monk finished reading, the child suddenly burst into laughter, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing that his son really didn't cry anymore, Shi Yuanwai relieved his heart,

He hurriedly instructed his family to prepare a clean vegetarian fast and entertain the monks.

Then he bowed down and asked, "Master, where is the treasure temple?" Wait for me to prepare some gold and silver, and go and thank you."

The monk bowed his head and said: "The poor monk law name Yulin embroidery, is the host of Bao'en Temple in Wukang County, northern Zhejiang, these days of meditation in the temple, always awakened by the cry of the child, pinched his fingers, only to know that the lotus Arhat fell here, so he came to visit, a front edge."

"The poor monk didn't dare to take a penny of the silver tael that the donor said, but this child had a lot of fate with the poor monk. I need to take him to the monastery to practice the Dharma. Otherwise, with his pure body, if he always rolls in the red dust, he will die in less than two years."

Shi Yuanwai was full of sorrow and wept: "Pity me for being over sixty years old, I have this baby, if he becomes a monk, father and son can't see each other, but how can I live."

Master Yulin said with a smile: "The child is only three years old, but he just followed me to practice Buddhism first to dissolve the three poisons of greed, hatred and ignorance in his body. It's not considered a monk, the donor can come to visit at any time as long as he wants, how can father and son not see each other"?

Shi Yuanwai was overjoyed and said: "This is very good, Wukang County also has my industry, so I will sell the family property in Nanyang and move my family to Wukang, so that I can accompany my son day and night."

Zen Master Yulin shook his head and said: "The donor can visit his son, but if he accompanies him all the time, it is not okay, there are rules in Buddhism." What's more, there is still a great person living in my temple.
