In the middle of spring, the pomegranate tree has lush branches and leaves, and the flower buds are blooming, but it is far from the time when the pomegranate is ripe.

Lu Sheng glanced at the little boy, saw that his expression was profound, and said in his heart Thank you, the bad habit of being a teacher and being a teacher has been cultivated since childhood.

But he still couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he had to ask, "What is this thing?" ”

Fortunately, this little boy is always not as bad as when he is an adult, as soon as Lu Sheng asked, he made it clear for Lu Sheng: "You seriously injured the ghost car with a sword, and the evil thing fled outside the house, and the spirit dissipated, but these pomegranate seeds were left behind." The pomegranate is a tribute to the Emperor Mother of the Pear, and it is also her favorite weapon, so I speculate that the Mother of the Emperor is making trouble behind the scenes. The Mother of the Pear Emperor...... It was originally a ghost god, and after an epiphany, he was ranked as one of the twenty heavens protecting the Dharma, but among the Buddhists, there is still another name, called the ghost son and mother god. ”

Lu Sheng was shocked, stood up straight, grabbed the little boy's slender shoulder, and hissed, "Really...... Devil Mother God? Isn't that a ......?"

Xie Ying was grabbed by him and his shoulders and arms ached, but he secretly held on, and his face did not show any different color, but sneered: "It's just a ghost." ”

According to Buddhist legends, it is said that Jiashan has a ghost mother, who has given birth to a hundred sons, she has a hideous appearance, but her magic power is boundless, and she is called a ghost mother and a mother, and she is the most addicted to human flesh. Hunt live people every day to feed their sons. The amount of food eaten by the devil is huge, and the number of children is growing up day by day, and the amount of food is also increasing dramatically every day. The devil and mother have caught countless people, and before she knows it, everyone in the world has been caught by her, eaten cleanly, and there will be no one to eat in the future.

However, the hundred sons were waiting to be fed, and the devils and mothers were also hungry, so they finally couldn't bear it anymore and took the devils to eat. She ate all ninety-nine sons, leaving only the youngest son, still in the swaddling clothes mourning and crying, the devil mother god held the only remaining young son, but suddenly repented, ashamed of her past crimes, knelt on the ground, raised her head and cried. After crying tears, blood and tears are in the line.

When it was, moved by her repentant and pious heart, the light of the Buddha in the sky shone brightly, and she appeared, lit it, and accepted it as the protector of the Buddha. And because of its high power, it is juxtaposed with the great Brahma, Emperor Shakti, Secret Vajra and other heavens, so if you come to give the name, the past is forgotten, and the sins are all gone.

The mother of the emperor put away her hideous fangs, showed charity and compassion, and was worshiped by incense and worshiped by the people. And because of their own circumstances, if a mother prays for the health of her children, she always takes extra care, and over time, she also wins the admiration and love of the people.

It's just that the mother of the pear emperor not only eats human flesh, but also eats her son, enjoying the most beautiful taste in the world, and the melon and fruit cakes offered by the people are difficult to swallow compared with them. It is rumored that pomegranate meat tastes similar to human flesh, so the people worship pomegranates to repay the blessing of the emperor's mother.

Lu Sheng had already let go of his hand, and couldn't help but sigh: "Buddhism purifies all sentient beings and embraces all things, even such ghosts can become Buddhas." Another day, I will go to Xingshan Temple, but I will worship sincerely. ”

Xie Ying frowned, after all, he couldn't help but rub his arm, and habitually rubbed his calf, before he sneered: "Ignorance." The Mother of the Emperor is the protector of the Medicine Master Rulai, and the Xingshan Temple is for the Great Day of the Buddha, which has nothing to do with the Mother of the Emperor. ”

Lu Sheng saw that the little boy lowered his head and rubbed his hands and feet, so he simply stretched out his hand, picked up the little boy and put it on his lap, sat back in the circle chair, and rubbed his hands and feet for him, but at the same time he muttered: "Medicine Master Liuliguang is like this? Isn't it the protector of the Pure Karma Sect? ”

The little boy was suddenly hugged into his arms, and his whole body suddenly stiffened, and his mind was confused, but he didn't resist at all, and only whispered: "Who are you, and you actually know the Pure Karma Sect?" ”

Lu Sheng said solemnly: "Fourteen years later, you told me in person. ”

Xie Ying couldn't help but sink his face when he said and laughed, but Lu Sheng skillfully rubbed his legs, feet and shoulders for him, and then picked him up again and went to the side room to wash, while laughing: "When I was ten years old, my hands and feet hurt from time to time, and the master said that it was ordinary, just because my bones grew extremely fast when I was young, and it was inevitable to suffer a little." You look like this, but you will grow taller than me in the future. ”

Lu Sheng recalled the tall young man in the future, with his outstanding demeanor, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and some vicissitudes of time were born out of thin air.

But the boy put his arms around his neck, opened his eyes and asked, "Am I really taller than you?" ”

Lu Sheng smiled: "Naturally, take it seriously. ”

When he entered the chamber, the two hedgehogs were pouring hot water into the basin, and when they saw the boy being carried into the room, their eyes widened, and their backstabs stood upside down, and they squeaked.

The boy reluctantly said, "...... Anyway. "I didn't look at the hedgehog, and I didn't want to look at Lu Sheng, and the cheeks and ears that were exposed when I turned my head sideways were already crimson like ripe pomegranates.

Lu Sheng saw that he was becoming more and more honest, and his heart was happy, and when the two of them finished washing and going to bed, Lu Sheng asked: "Ah Ying, I have a hanging pot in my hand now, although I can protect you, but it is not a good strategy in the long run, it is better to leave the island at dawn, temporarily live in Xingshan Temple, and wait for your master to come back." ”

The boy said, "...... If I have to rely on Master for this little thing, why should I be His disciple? After dawn, he naturally had to leave the island and put an end to the matter completely. ”

Lu Sheng couldn't help but sneer, he had studied under Shui Yue and Wei Su successively, but before joining the army, he had never made any achievements in front of his master, and naturally he had never worried, if he couldn't be alone, he wouldn't be able to be a disciple of his master.

He knew that it was useless to worry about the past, so he had to gently touch the top of Xie Ying's head and whispered, "I'll go with you." ”

The little boy snorted and said, "Naturally, if you dare to escape, I will take your life." ”

Lu Sheng couldn't help but laugh, and the little boy turned over again and leaned on Lu Sheng's arms.

There was nothing to say all night, and the two of them only rested in peace and waited for the dawn.

When the rooster crowed, someone woke up earlier than Lu Xie and the others.

Du Shi got up and took the little maid to the temple in the west of the city to send incense, and when he returned home, the little maid suddenly exclaimed: "Husband, madam! ”

The little girl pointed to the hem of Du's light onion skirt, a little brown stain near the side of her buttocks, and said in a trembling voice: "Blood, blood, ......"

A servant had already rushed to report to Zhao Guangming, and the steward was naturally frightened and hurriedly invited a doctor to his home.

Although Du Shi was not aware of the abnormality at all, she also understood her husband's intentions and let the doctor diagnose and treat him.

The doctor, who was over half a hundred years old, stroked his beard and put his fingers on Du's wrist, but suddenly frowned, "Huh? ”

Zhao Guangming's heart suddenly lifted, "Doctor? Is there something wrong? ”

Even Du Shi couldn't help but be afraid, and even the maids and servants in the house, the five of them kept an eye on the old doctor, lest they hear any bad omen.

The doctor carefully probed the Du family's pulse again, and said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zhao's pulse is like a bead rolling slowly, but the qi is weak and the blood is strong, and the ups and downs are light and soft......."

Zhao Guangming didn't understand, but he was declining and floating, I'm afraid it wasn't a good thing, so he couldn't help but be frightened, and asked in a trembling voice: "Doctor, doctor!" Please save my lady! ”

The doctor couldn't help laughing, got up and bowed his hand to the two, but said, "Congratulations to Steward Zhao and Mrs. Zhao." Madame is pregnant with twins. ”

Zhao Guangming and Du Shi were both surprised and delighted, and the doctor prescribed a fetal pill and carefully advised.

Then the servants were busy decocting the medicine, and Zhao Guangming sent the doctor away with a thousand thanks, and they were all busy, and everyone had already forgotten all about the bloodstains.
