Chapter 101: Temple Buddha
Du Heng secretly said that it was not good, and hurriedly grabbed the back collar of the grasshopper, carried him into his arms, and then used a stealth method to hide.
The door in the center of the melon field creaked open, and an old monk came out of the door. He craned his neck and looked around, then with a wave of his sleeve, all the green-haired dogs died down, sat on the ground and turned back into watermelons.
The old monk waved his hand at the melon field again, and the melon field immediately divided into a path one person wide. He walked along the path to the bushes where Du Heng was hiding just now, looked at the broken watermelon, and frowned.
Du Heng stood behind the bushes with the gnats in his arms, quietly looking at the old monk. However, the grasshopper did not know that he had been invisible, and when he saw the old monk approaching the bushes, he suddenly screamed.
The old monk raised his head sharply, his eyes fixed on a clearing behind the bushes.
Suddenly, as soon as the old monk raised his hand, several prayer beads flew out of the cuffs and went straight to the place where Du Heng was standing. Du Heng dodged sideways and accidentally stepped on a dry branch at his feet.
"What is sacred? Come to my small temple in the mountains to find trouble with the poor monks? The old monk shouted coldly.
Du Heng made a silent gesture to the grasshopper, gently put him on the ground, and he appeared, saying: "This senior monk, I didn't mean to disturb here, but I felt thirsty when I passed by here, and I wanted to pick a watermelon to eat." Who knew that this watermelon turned into a dog to bite me, and in a hurry, I had to beat it to death. ”
The old monk twisted his beard and looked at Du Heng suspiciously, his shiny head like a white porcelain basin in the moonlight.
Du Heng hugged his fists and said: "I don't want to cause trouble in the next place, if this melon can't be eaten, just go down." ”
He squinted his eyes to look at his feet, and just wanted to signal the grasshopper to leave with him, when he suddenly found that the grasshopper was gone!
Du Heng's heart tightened.
Where did this kid go?!
Seeing that Du Heng was not hostile, the old monk said "Amitabha", turned around and was about to go back. As a result, as soon as I stepped on the path, I found that the door of the small temple not far away seemed to be much larger than when I came out.
"You cheat!"
The old monk scolded angrily and flew back to the temple. Du Heng slapped his head and hurriedly followed.
The two rushed into the temple gate one after the other.
As soon as Du Heng crossed the threshold, the temple door closed with a "bang" behind him.
The temple was pitch black, not to mention the lights, not even the windows, and it was impossible to see the five fingers.
Du Heng tentatively took two steps forward, and suddenly heard a strange laugh. The laughter was like a group of demons dancing wildly, more like a ghost crying wolf.
Everything around was bright in an instant, and I saw that the Arhat statues on both sides of the temple hall were all alive, and they were approaching Du Heng one after another. The candlelight reflected on Luohan's face, which looked hideous and terrifying.
Du Heng snorted coldly, jumped upward, and sacrificed Yaohua a few stabs. The temple was suddenly filled with the cold light of Yaohua, and a few candles were suddenly eclipsed.
After only listening to a few "clicks", Du Heng landed steadily, and then, a pile of broken stones crackled and fell to the ground.
"Hey, hey! Unexpectedly, you hairy boy has two hits, so let your Buddha grandfather come to learn and learn! ”
The candle flame went out suddenly, and the ground shook faintly. Du Heng clenched the hilt of his sword, and suddenly, a huge wild bodhisattva slowly rose from in front of Du Heng. The wild bodhisattva exuded a ghostly green light, and his smile was evil.
The wild bodhisattva hooked the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, and a string of prayer beads came out of his wrist and coiled above Du Heng. The rosary is getting bigger and bigger, and it is about to be put on when it is aimed at Du Heng's neck.
Du Heng squinted his eyes and found that the rosary was used by the monk to test himself.
Oh, it turned out to be a wild god in the countryside, and he became a demon after being worshiped by people and having spirituality. It's a pity, if you devote yourself to cultivation, relying on the power of this pious belief and this Buddha body, maybe one day you can really become a god, why do you want to become a demon at this moment?
Whether it's a demon or a fairy, it's all in one thought.
Du Heng sighed, seeing that the string of prayer beads was about to be put around his neck, he suddenly bent his knees, his body slid forward abruptly, and rushed to the feet of the wild bodhisattva.
Everything happened between the lightning and the fire, and the wild bodhisattva was defenseless, watching the cold light flash under his feet, and then his body was crooked, and he fell to the ground with a bang, and his feet were cut off by Yao Huaqi!
Du Heng flicked his fingertips, the candlelight in the temple rose again, and the old monk was crooked on the ground covering his broken leg. Du Heng lowered his head and found that the section of the old monk's broken leg was actually a stone.
"An evil path is an evil road after all, and taking shortcuts will not lead to good results, so why are you so eager for quick success?" Du Heng walked up to the old monk and hugged his shoulders.
The old monk glanced at the Yaohua sword in Du Heng's hand, and said tremblingly: "Yes, yes, yes!" The gods teach us! Poor monks should not be opportunistic and take some side roads. But the poor monk has his own human form, and he has never harmed anyone, so ask the gods to let the poor monk go! ”
"Humanoid?" Du Heng snorted coldly, "You stinky monk, you will avoid the important and take it lightly, so before you became an adult, you must have harmed the lives of many people, right?" Otherwise, with your little bit of Taoism, how could you have a human body so quickly? ”
When the old monk saw that he was exposed, his face turned white with fright. He scrambled to his feet and kowtowed like garlic.
"Ask the gods to be merciful and let the poor monks have a way to live! The poor monk will definitely change his evil and return to the right in the future, and he will not harm anyone again! ”
Du Heng waved his hand in disgust and said, "Okay, okay, let me ask you, where did the little boy who came in just now go?" ”
The old monk straightened up, glanced back at the back of the temple, and said, "The poor monk was just about to chase that kid, but you came in." The poor monk doesn't know where he has gone......"
Du Heng touched his chin and said, "Then this single fox mountain, have anyone else been here?" ”
The old monk said, "Oh! I understand what you mean, you're asking the Qu family, right? They haven't been seen since they were destroyed by an immortal a hundred years ago. I heard that the fairy is as powerful as you, and even the color of his clothes is very similar to yours, maybe you know ......."
The old monk suddenly stumbled, looked at Du Heng carefully from head to toe, and then trembled all over.
"The Immortal...... It can't be you, ......? ”
Du Heng didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it either, just stared at the old monk coldly.
"Ouch! My grandfather! The old monk kowtowed three more times, "The poor monk just now had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai, and he collided with the true god!" Be merciful, don't be like a poor monk! ”
The old monk moved to Du Heng's side on his knees, and said mysteriously: "The poor monk will tell you another secret, in Daishan County, three hundred miles away from here, there are still a handful of remnants of the Qu family, you can go and cut the grass and eradicate the roots." However, after you go out, don't say that the poor monk has leaked the news......"
Du Heng was secretly happy in his heart, and he didn't expect to find out the whereabouts of the Qu family here. He was about to ask any further questions when he suddenly heard the sound of stones moving from inside the temple.
Oops! I almost forgot about that kid!
Du Heng flew towards the temple and saw a secret door at the end of the temple. He walked through the secret door, and found that in addition to some gold and silver treasures, there were five large wine jars in a dignified place.
The grasshopper was crookedly holding a few gold bricks under its feet, poking its neck into the vat.
"Little grasshopper! What are you doing?! ”
The gnats were so frightened that they were unsteady under their feet, and they actually threw themselves into the wine vat with a thud!
Du Heng let out a "hey", and hurriedly ran to the side of the wine vat and reached out to fish.
Unexpectedly, this fishing just grabbed one of the legs of the grasshopper, and the grasshopper was lifted up by Du Heng with its head down.
Du Heng put the grub on the ground and hurriedly pressed his chest, trying to press the wine out. However, the gnats clenched their teeth and did not vomit a sip of wine.
Du Heng was so anxious that he hurriedly helped the gnatfish up, trying to use his mana to force the wine out, but he didn't expect that as soon as he raised his hand, his hand was grabbed by the gnat's two small hands.
"Uncle......" the grasshopper laughed drunkenly, "don't press ...... Don't ...... If you vomit, it's wasted...... Belch! ”
Du Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the grasshopper's face was full of red light, and the corners of his mouth were still smiling contentedly.
"You little grasshopper, lie to me and say that here is what I'm looking for, it turns out that you want me to help you cover so that you can run here to steal wine and drink." Du Heng wiped the little face full of wine with pity.
The grasshopper closed its eyes and said in a daze, "It's really good wine...... Wine...... It's not in vain......"
Du Heng smiled helplessly, held the grasshopper in his arms, and walked towards the temple, wanting to find the old monk again to ask about the Qu family carefully. However, he searched around the temple and found no trace of the old monk.
It turned out that the old monk had already taken advantage of Du Heng's rescue of the grasshopper and slipped away.
Du Heng stood in the temple hall with some loss, the temple was quiet, only the snoring of the grasshopper echoed on the beam.
The gnats lay on the inn's bed and slept for three days and three nights, and it was not until the morning of the fourth day that they opened their eyes in a daze.
Du Heng took a hot handkerchief, wiped his face one by one, and said, "I didn't expect you to not only drink, but also sleep, and you have slept for so long." ”
The gnats hadn't fully woken up yet, so they pulled Du Heng's hand aside and hummed, "Auntie, don't move...... I haven't slept enough......"
Du Heng smiled: "You little grasshopper, now you know that you are homesick?" Missed your aunt? Tell me where your house is, and I'll take you back to your aunt. ”
When the grasshopper heard this, he quickly sat up and covered up, "I...... I don't have a home, I don't want an aunt, I want to learn from my uncle! ”
"Why do you still want to learn skills?" Du Heng smiled bitterly and helped his forehead, "Let me tell you, my ability is inherited from our family, and I can't teach it to others." ”
"Then ......," the gnats rolled their eyes, "then I will recognize you as my own uncle, and I will be a member of your family, so you can teach me!" ”
Du Heng leaned his elbows on the edge of the bed, sighed, and buried his face deep in the palm of his hand.
"Goo......" There was a sudden sound in the gnat's stomach.
"Uncle, I'm hungry! I want to eat steamed buns! ”
Du Heng brought the grub to the bun stall.
The grasshopper sat on a stool, her feet bobbing back and forth from the ground, clutching a bun in each hand and stuffing it into her mouth frantically. In a short time, a dozen fist-sized buns were wiped out.
However, at this time, Du Heng only ate the second one, he held half a bun with chopsticks, and looked at the appearance of the grasshopper in the wind, dumbfounded.
The grasshopper grabbed the last two buns in the cage drawer and called out indistinctly, "Uncle! I still want it! ”
Du Heng shook his head and smiled bitterly, and greeted the boss: "Two more drawers!" ”
He watched the grasshopper gobble up and said with a smile: "I said little grasshopper, how do you know that there is wine in the temple?" ”
"I saw him move in." The grasshopper swallows a mouthful of buns.
Du Heng said: "At your young age, if you don't study well, why do you always worry about other people's wine?" Did you know that if you start drinking at such a young age, your brain will become stupid when you grow up? ”
"I'm still young, huh?" The gnats reached out and grabbed the buns in the cage drawer, "I'm over a hundred years old, and I'm not young at all." ”
