The June sun was shining on the ground, and several people on the city wall with the three characters of Panjiang County written on it were still sweating all over their bodies although they were standing under umbrellas.

"Lord Han, did you really let them do this?" A man asked.

The middle-aged man in the official robe looked tired and a little helpless.

"That's all it has to say now." He said.

"My lord, this bald donkey is getting more and more arrogant." Another man who looked like a small official hurriedly said, "If he dares to block the city gate today, he will dare to block the yamen tomorrow." ”

Lord Han sighed.

"So what?" He said, pointing downward, "You, who can stop it?" ”

Everyone looked down, from the city wall, but saw the dense crowd of people underneath, and in the distance there were countless people rushing to bow down one by one.

There is an altar in the middle of the city gate, there are more than a dozen small monks around, and at the top sits a kind and white-eyed monk, I don't know what he said, which caused a commotion among the people below, and then there was a bow.

At this time, if someone asks the monk to leave the city gate, I believe that as long as the monk stretches out his hand and points at it, even if he says that he is trampled to death, these people will not hesitate to carry it out, and they don't care whether they are officials or not.

The people at the city gate looked sad and helpless.

"How did this happen?" One couldn't help but whisper, "When I was repairing the ditch, I was just invited to do a ritual, and I gave a few dollars and sent it away, why did I stay for a year or two and become like this?" ”

"This bald donkey can't even recite a single volume of scriptures, and he has become a master." The other sneered, "Sure enough, the people are stupid." ”

"The people are stupid. It is also the result of your and my dereliction of duty. Lord Han said with a sigh. Blame me for being negligent. Thinking of him as a monk, what can be a big deal about chanting scriptures, and the result is that he has accumulated a lot into today's trend. ”

"How do you send this old monk away?" Someone said.

"It's easy to please God, it's hard to send God." The other shook his head, "This old bald donkey now has many believers here, and he earns a lot of gold and silver, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to let him go." ”

Everyone at the gate looked helpless.

"Let's take it one step at a time." Lord Han said, looking up at the sky.

The sky seemed to be a little overcast.

"I hope the guys from Si Tiantai made a better prediction this time. It's really going to be an eclipse, let's see what this old bald donkey does. He muttered.

Everyone was helpless on the city wall, and suddenly saw a commotion below.

"What's the matter?"

"It looks like someone is going out of the city and is stopped."

A few people took a few steps forward, and sure enough, a carriage was stopped.

"It seems that it is a foreigner, I don't know about it, you let people stop it, this group of monks is arrogant, don't cause anything." Master Han said hurriedly.

One of the officials replied and said a few words to the officer beside him. And the officer came down.

The atmosphere here is already a little bad.

"We're in a hurry, so please make it easier." The attendant said. The words are polite, the tone is not polite.

The two monks in front of him looked arrogant.

"You don't understand people, do you?" They simply didn't even say anything, "Today's solar eclipse, our master is going to do something to pray for blessings and rescue, you either go back and hide, or kneel down here with you, don't know what to do." ”

The attendant gritted his teeth, and before he could speak, the carriage behind him was lifted from the curtain.

"Solar eclipse?" Cheng Jianniang said, "Today's solar eclipse? ”

"yes, don't you know..."The two monks said as they looked over, and their voices stopped halfway through their words, and they looked at the woman in front of them blankly.

Good... What a beauty....

"Ah, little lady" finally came back to her senses first, and hurriedly stepped forward with her hands together.

The attendant stretched out his hand to stop it, with a bit of warning.

"Master, I want to talk to someone who is destined, can't I?" The monk did not have the slightest fear, looked at the entourage and said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the people around them immediately spoke.

"Oh, you young man, get out of the way, how can you be disrespectful to the master?"

"Is this little lady destined? It's great, quick, quick, listen to what the master has to say. ”

There was a surge all around, and more than a dozen entourages were busy in front of the car when they saw that the situation was not good, but from the city wall, they looked very weak in a sea of people.

"Let's let, let's go."

A few officers shouted and came over to disperse the crowd.

The two monks looked at them with a little disdain.

"What's the matter, the master, what are we doing here, the master said, the bad men should avoid the evil spirit and the knife." They said, "Later, it will affect the effect of the ritual, this... Who is responsible? ”

As soon as they heard this, the people around them immediately rushed up.

"Oh, you guys, go far."

"The hour is coming, you go quickly."

There were many people, and a few errand servants suddenly turned into a drop in the sea of people, swaying with the crowd.

The faces of several of the officers turned white, and they subconsciously retreated until they collided with the carriage.

"What are you doing?" The female voice asked in the back.

This bold little lady, what else to say, don't quickly put down the curtain and turn around.

"Why go, I'm going out of the city, I'm going to hurry." Cheng Jianniang said, looking at the two monks, "Are you not allowed to do it?" ”

The two monks approached with a grin, and the two attendants hurriedly blocked again.

"Little lady, are you in a hurry to get out of the city?" They asked, a pair of eyes swept around the little lady without shying away, the clothes were thin in the summer, although the little lady was wearing loose, but it couldn't hide the delicate curves, "We don't look good, why don't we come down and let our master see if it's okay." ”

"You are bold!" Banqin shouted, blocking Cheng Jianniang, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Oh, you little lady, the master is kind, what are you doing so fiercely?"

"That is, what kind of attitude, how can you be disrespectful to the master?"

"Being able to get Master Ningde to see it is a blessing from cultivation, don't hesitate to be blessed."

The people around immediately blamed dissatisfied, and the two monks smiled a little proudly.

Banqin was angry and anxious, and before she could say anything, she put a hand on her shoulder and patted her gently.

"Okay." Cheng Jianniang said. Lift your foot into the car.

Really want to go? Banqin was a little frightened. Reach out and pull Cheng Jiaoniang's sleeve.

"Lady." She said urgently.

"You wait here." Cheng Jianniang said. Glancing at one of the guards, "You come with me." ”

The guard raised his heels in response, carefully guarding the side.

The two monks looked at each other and led the way with a grin.

The crowd automatically moved away, and the monks on the altar kept their eyes down, concentrating on meditating and chanting, and they didn't seem to see what was going on here, until the two monks led Cheng Jianniang closer.

The officials on the city wall couldn't help but take a few more steps forward and hold on to the head of the wall.

"What does this little lady want to do?" Lord Han said. With a little anxiety, "Why are you so ignorant?" ”

"My lord, that bald donkey has plagued many women..."A little official couldn't help but say, "This little lady has a foreign accent, and she is not familiar with life here, if something really happens, she can only suffer a dumb loss..."

Lord Han stomped his feet.

"Quick, quick, let people pass." He pointed to it and said, "Persuade her to go back." Don't go out of the city yet, what's the hurry. What's wrong with waiting for a moment? I don't look at the strength of the other party...."

He babbled and said, his anxious heart was on fire, and looking at the city, the old monk had already looked up at the little lady.

"Donor, I don't know what's going on?" He asked with a smile, his demeanor dignified, but the trace of surprise and lewdness in his eyes did not escape the eyes of the men.

This kind of look is understood by a man.

The guard beside Cheng Jianniang clenched his hand hanging down at his side.

"I'm going out of the city, I heard I still need your permission?" Cheng Jianniang said.

"Donor, today's solar eclipse is unlucky, you have to do it at noon, otherwise the rescue will not be in time, the little lady should not travel, it is better to stay, after the ceremony, the lady can go on the road." The old monk said with a smile.

"Master, I don't believe in Buddhism, I have inherited the learning of the saints since I was a child, and I don't talk about ghosts and gods, so I am not afraid of any bad luck." Cheng Jianniang said, "I'm just here to ask the master, I want to go out of the city, is the master allowed or not?" ”

"Amitabha, little lady, if you are disrespectful to the Buddha, you will enter the animal path." The old monk raised his head and said, with a bit of solemnity and a little pity.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him and smiled.

"Master, is it not allowed?" She asked.

"First, it's for the sake of the little lady, and second, it's for everyone's sake." The old monk said, looking around, raising his hand,

With his raised hand, the people around him were in a commotion and bowed reverently.

The old monk looked at Cheng Jianniang again.

"We have been preparing for this ceremony for a long time, but it is for the blessing of all the people, and then we will make way for the lady to tear down the altar alone, I don't think the little lady will ignore the blessing of the people, right?"

The entourage couldn't help but look around, the old monk's words had already been heard by the people in front of him, and soon they spoke to others, and the words spread like water waves, causing chaos on the scene.

This is a threat.

This is intimidation.

Looking at the other entourage in the distance, the road that came had been blocked by the people....

The entourage couldn't help but stand in front of Cheng Jiaoniang again, pressing his hand on his waist.

"It's ridiculous that the master said to pray for blessings." Cheng Jianniang said, "There is no calamity, so use you to pray for blessings?" ”

The old monk looked at her, and the smile on his lips became even stronger.

This little lady is really different from other little ladies, and other women should either panic at this moment, or they have already obeyed the gift.

Yes, yes, it's interesting.

"What do you mean by that?" He said casually.

Cheng Jianniang looked at him.

"Presumably, the master's astronomical calendar is good, so there is no solar eclipse today, the master knows it very well, right?" She said.

What the?

The old monk was stunned, and before he came back to his senses, Cheng Jianniang took a step back.

"Kill him." She said.

The attendant beside him did not hesitate, as if he had already prepared, he pulled out the short knife in his waist, bent his knees and half-knelt down, raised his hand and slashed across the neck of the old monk squatting in front of him.

The old monk's eyes exploded, as if he couldn't believe it, he didn't even have a chance to raise his hand, his head gurgled and rolled down, and blood suddenly gushed out like a spring.

Lord Han on the city wall was looking over at this time, his face was anxious and condensed, his mouth opened wide, and his breathing stopped.

My dear mother, what did I see!

It seemed like another moment, a bowl of water was poured into the hot oil pot, and the screams tore through the clear sky under the city gates.

Lord Han leaned on the city wall with one leg and almost fell.

What a little lady, it turned out to be a Vajra Yaksha! (To be continued......)
