.

"Uncle Gui, these two people are not him, you have also seen them." Li Bai's anxious face finally showed a long-lost smile, and said, "It's Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui." ”

"Them?" Hou Gui frowned, his face full of doubts, and asked, "What do you mean by what the young master said, how could they know the whereabouts of the three little masters?" ”

"Uncle Gui, don't the two of them want to worship my fourth senior brother as a teacher? Since they are hard-hearted, they will naturally not give up. Li Bai finally relieved himself, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and then said: "Besides, with the temperament of my fourth senior brother, although he looks a little fierce, he is actually very kind-hearted. Therefore, the fourth senior brother will definitely accept Yang Wang and the others as apprentices, I'm sure. ”

"Haha, young master, I understand when you say that!" Hou Gui suddenly opened his mouth, his face was full of doubts, and he said with a smile: "Young master, what do you mean, someone on the road saw the three little masters, but they didn't see Yang Wang and the others, which means that he didn't come with him, maybe he will still stay in the Zuihualou." ”

"Anthracene." Li Bai nodded: "Not bad." ”

"Since they are already masters and apprentices, then ...... Hey! Hou Gui thought about it, was happy, and continued: "Then as a master, before leaving, he will definitely explain something else to the apprentice, and he may not tell the whereabouts of the traces, and tell Yang Wang and the others." ”

"Anthracene." Li Bai: "Uncle Gui analyzed. ”

After saying this several times, Hou Gui sent Ergou to hurry to Zuihualou to pay off his debts, not wanting to owe others. The second is to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Guide, the four pots and the five ghosts, and they can't be delayed. At the same time, Hou Gui also had some manpower, and went to various gambling houses along the way to find them, for fear that they would lose the silver and not have to pay it back, so they would be detained.

On this day, it passed in a trance, and there was nothing else to say. The next day, Li Bai still got up very early, and seemed to be used to getting up so early. Although Li Bai could only sleep after drinking the elixir and jade liquid in the middle of the night every day, when the habit became natural, the habit was definitely a habit, and it was difficult to change.

There was nothing to do, Li Bai had no choice but to practice swords, and after practicing, he went to play five poultry plays. When Hou Gui saw it, he became curious in his heart and asked Li Bai what the five poultry plays were? What's the use? How do you look like a bird for a while? One moment like a bear...... And so on and so forth.

Li Bai explained them one by one, and after listening to them, Hou Gui was interested and wanted to learn, so he asked Li Bai to teach him too. In this regard, Li Baizi is very willing, after all, the five poultry drama has great benefits for the body, so he taught it without reservation.

After Li Bai's several instructions, Hou Gui learned a rough idea. Although the fight was not very standardized and authentic, Hou Gui remembered all the tricks, which was also powerful.

"Uncle Gui, rest!" Li Bai saw that the hour was almost the same, so he persuaded: "My master said that the five bird dramas should not be played for too long, just about half an hour every day, otherwise it will backfire and damage your body." ”

"So? That's it, if you don't practice, don't practice, and you'll continue to practice tomorrow. Hou Gui was indeed a little tired, waved his hand, and said: "Then young master, go, drink tea, I heard that a tea horse just came to the trading house yesterday, and it was brought by the old man who beat the Western Regions, how about we go and taste it?" ”

"Anthracene! Just what the doctor ordered! Li Bai nodded, and walked towards the direction of the business house with Uncle Gui. Along the way, Li Bai also asked: "Uncle Gui, when will my father return to the Central Plains?" I may not be able to stay in Qinglian for a few days, and there are still orders waiting for me to complete. ”

"Young master, I don't know much about this." Hou Gui replied as he walked: "Either I will come back tomorrow, or I will come back in a few months, ah, it depends on what kind of goods the master is bringing the merchant." ”

"Alas! Daddy too! Li Bai worried: "Why didn't he hand it over to others to do such a thing of running a merchant and bringing goods?" Why run in person? Alas! I'm really worried about him. ”

"Young master, don't worry, the master is in good health!" Hou Gui opened the conversation box and said: "As for me, I grew up with my master, and when I was eight years old, we followed your grandfather and my father to go around the rivers and lakes, that is, to bring goods and run merchants." So, my lord and I are used to wandering outside, and we can't stay idle at all. ”

"Because of that strange illness, the old man is also depressed and panicked, so he naturally has to go outside." Hou Gui: "It's just unfortunate that the old man went to the goods, but the young master went down the mountain." ”

"Alas!" Li Baiyi sighed: "Providence makes people!" ”

"Young master, don't be depressed!" Hou Gui: "When we first arrived in Sichuancheng, I asked someone to bring a letter to the master, saying that you have come back from the mountain, and I guess the master will receive it in a few days." When the time comes, I believe that after the master knows, he will definitely rush back immediately. You don't know, my lord misses you! ”

"Alas!" Li Bai suddenly hesitated and became entangled, asked Hou Gui, and said, "Uncle Gui, you said that I should go to complete the master's order first?" Or should I go back to Qinglian first? ”

"Young master, tell me, what kind of master's life?" Hou Gui was not at ease, but also a little curious, and asked, "Do you need my help?" ”

"It's not a noble uncle, it's just to subdue a man-eating monster." Li Bai suddenly shook his head and said, "Oh, by the way, uncle, do you know where the Buddhist temple is?" Who is Zen Master Lingyun? I heard that there was a noisy monster there, and the master told me and the three senior brothers to take it away! ”

"Huh? Ask the Buddhist Temple? Hou Gui's face suddenly changed in shock, and he hurriedly said: "I can't go, young master, I can't go here!" ”

"Can't go?" Li Bai frowned: "Why?" ”

"Come young master!" Hou Gui couldn't bear to be anxious and worried, and said, "Let's go in and sit down." ”

Speaking of which, the two happened to come to the door of the firm, and when they heard Hou Gui's proposal, Li Bai nodded in agreement. So, he followed Hou Gui into the trading house and sat down in a small but very chic courtyard. When the March flowers sprouted around them, a few servants knew that they had come to taste the tea, so they began to boil water to serve it.

"Uncle Gui, what did you say just now?" Li Bai saw that Hou Gui must know a lot of things related to asking the Buddhist Temple, so he hurriedly asked, "How can you say that you can't go?" ”

"Young master, I really can't go." Hou Gui took a sip of tea to suppress his shock, and said worriedly: "That place is in danger now, and many people have died, especially boys and girls. This matter has been in an uproar in recent months, and no one dares to go anywhere, saying that the monster is extremely powerful. So young master, you must not go, you must not go! ”

"Uncle Gui, don't worry." Li Bai first comforted him, and then said: "You first tell me about the details of this matter, the ins and outs, and what is this man-eating monster?" Is it really that powerful? ”

"Young master, here's how it happened." Hou Gui took another sip of tea, and then said: "I heard that since about three months ago, Leshan, that is, the young master, you said to ask the Buddha Temple. ”

"Leshan?" Li Bai: "Ask the Buddhist temple in Leshan?" ”

"Yes, young master, ask the Buddha Temple is in Leshan, the lord and his wife have also visited the Buddha here, pray for the blessing and peace of the young master. It's just ......" Hou Gui paused, and said: "It's just that the Buddha Temple is no longer called the Buddha Temple, and the emperor issued a holy decree to change the Buddha Temple to Lingyun Temple, and the three words of the Buddha Temple were changed to the name of a side hall." ”

"Come to your uncle." Li Bai helped Hou Gui pour tea and said, "Drink first, speak slowly." ”

"Anthracene!" Hou Gui took a sip, and continued unhurriedly, saying, "About three months ago, something strange began to happen near Leshan, especially on the river. ”

"Oh?" Li Bai echoed and accosted: "What's strange? ”

"First of all, there was no wind and waves on the river, and the dark clouds were thick, which was terrifying." Hou Gui painted his voice and color, and wanted to take the opportunity to scare and scare Li Bai, and asked Li Bai not to ask the Buddhist temple, so he said: "For example, it is still cloudless at this time, and Yiyang is shining, but it may be said that it will change the sky immediately in the blink of an eye." The fishermen who passed by on the river, as well as the merchants, all suffered. The dead are dead, the wounds are wounded, the sinking is sinking, the floating is floating, and countless are mourning all over the field, and the young master is terrified. ”

"Really?" Li Bai knew that Hou Gui's words were a bit exaggerated, and he also heard that Hou Gui was deliberately scaring himself, but he didn't expose it, and said: "Is it really so terrifying? ”

"Is that not it?" Hou Gui saw that Li Bai had seen it, and he didn't debunk it, but he didn't continue to exaggerate. After taking a sip of tea and pausing, he told the truth, "Young master, don't you know, in addition to making trouble on the river, this man-eating monster also specializes in stealing children's food. Some people wake up from sleep and find that their children are gone, and there is a pile of white bones left. ”

"Anthracene!" Li Bai smiled: "Terrible! ”

"Young master, it's not just scary." Hou Gui suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's very strange. ”

"Uncle?" Li Bai: "What kind of strange method? ”

"Let's just talk about the human bones of this little child!" Hou Gui lowered his voice and said, "After this monster ate the children, he actually used the bones of these children to make a word. ”

"Written out of bones?" Li Bai was stunned, felt very strange, and also felt curious, so he asked, "Uncle, which word is put on?" ”

"Swastika!" Hou Gui: "The swastika in the Buddha's family!" ”

"Swastika?" Li Baideng was stunned because he knew this word. However, to be precise, if this character is spoken in the Buddhist home, it should actually be a symbol, an auspicious symbol.

In Tibetan, it is called 'Yongzhong', which is the heart seal of the Buddha and the representative totem of Buddhism. Later, because the empress Wu Zetian worshiped Buddha, she deliberately changed the pronunciation of the word "swastika" and read it as "wan", four tones.

Li Bai knew this, but what he didn't understand was that this man-eating monster had done all the bad things, and it was evil for the demon, which was the opposite of Buddhism, Taoism, and orthodoxy. But why does it have to use bones to pose a 'swastika' character after eating a person? Could it be that this monster also believes in Buddhism? After eating someone, you still have to chant 'Amitabha, good and good'?

Hou Gui saw Li Bai's doubts, so without waiting for Li Bai to speak, Hou Gui preemptively said, "Young master, don't think about it, no one can figure it out clearly." You just said that Lingyun Zen Master, he is now asking the host of the Buddhist temple, and he can be regarded as a profound and powerful Dharma, right? ”

"But young master, what can this be? It's not that I can't help this monster, I heard that just a month and a half ago, Zen Master Lingyun was injured by this monster, so young master, you must not take risks. ”

"Uncle Gui, don't worry, now I am no longer a three-year-old child, and I have my own sense of proportion." Li Bai was comforted on his lips, but in his heart he was thinking about the principle of 'knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent and winning all battles'.

So, without waiting for Hou Gui to say anything, Li Bai turned his head sharply and said, "It's Uncle Gui, you can continue to talk about this question about the monsters in the Buddhist temple, in addition to eating children and posing for swastikas, what other strange things are there?" Or, what are the weaknesses of this monster? ”

"Young master, don't think about it, I won't let you go there." Hou Gui saw Li Bai's thoughts and said, "But as for what other strange things have happened, it will be interesting." It is said that this man-eating monster not only arranges human bones into the word "swastika", but also chatters, chatters, and chatters after eating, and reads the "Heart Sutra" loudly. ”

"Huh?" Li Bai: "Reciting the Heart Sutra? ”

Li Bai was shocked again, knowing that this "Heart Sutra" was one of the Buddhist scriptures. The most famous Buddhist saying, 'Color is emptiness, emptiness is color', comes from this.

The Heart Sutra, the meaning of the Sutra of the Heart, is used to remove distracting thoughts from the self. But of course, whether it is the Heart Sutra or any other scripture, what matters is not the content of the Sutra, but the person who recites it.

As long as the person who recites the sutra has a heart, then even if he is full of swear words and recites those extremely ugly curses and curses, then he can calm his mind. On the contrary, if the person who recites the sutra has no intention, then no matter how much he recites it, it will still be useless.

Today, what makes Li Bai very puzzled is that he thinks: What do you do when you read the Heart Sutra? Could it be that this man-eating monster really believes in Buddhism? After cannibalism, do you really have to recite Buddhist scriptures, repent and repent, or is it excessive?

This stubble is over, Li Bai still wants to know more about this man-eating monster, but Hou Gui's knowledge is limited, and it is only one-sided. Without a trace, after Li Bai and Hou Gui drank morning tea, they went out alone, found a noisy shop, and listened to everything.

After a day of shopping, Li Bai realized the seriousness of this matter, which can be described as in a hurry, and there is no delay. It is said that the people near Leshan are tortured by the man-eating monsters, and every month and a half, innocent boys and girls will be caught and eaten.

At first, when Zen Master Lingyun was not injured, he was still able to suppress this monster and make it less unscrupulous. But now that Zen Master Lingyun has been seriously injured, he can't hold it anymore, so this man-eating monster is even more emboldened.

After Li Bai heard this, the long-lost chivalrous spirit in his heart suddenly rose, burning like fire. Saving people with a sword and saving people with righteous deeds is what Li Bai wants to do the most.

In front of us is a great opportunity, a great opportunity to spread the wings of ideals in the nine heavens. So in order to subdue the demon and save people, Li Bai made a decision, planning to go to the Buddhist temple to solve the monster first, and then return to Qinglian.

As for the three of Wu Dao, the four pots and the five ghosts, Li Bai didn't decide to wait any longer. You know, the latter is more important when comparing waiting for people and saving people.

Hou Gui didn't agree after knowing it, let Li Bai explain it, Hou Gui was not at ease, and if he didn't give it, he wouldn't give it. In the end, he was angry, and directly locked Li Bai into the house and was not allowed to come out.

But unexpectedly, how could the door of the room trap Li Bai, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a fictitious thing. So, while the night was dark and windy, Li Bai climbed onto the beams of the house, lifted the tiles, and escaped directly from the roof of the tiles.

Li Bai was not in a hurry to leave, in order to reassure Hou Gui, he sneaked into the study to find paper, pen, ink and inkstone, and left a letter to his family. The words on it are elegant, and the general content is that it is important to save people, if you change to your mother Yuewa or your father Li Ke, you will definitely not do much to stop it.

Li Bai told Hou Gui not to worry, saying that he had learned a lot of skills in the Zhuxian Temple, and he couldn't help a mere monster, so it wouldn't be a big deal. He also said that if he was really relieved, he would quickly find Guide Wu, the four pots and the five ghosts, and ask them to come and ask the Buddhist temple for help.

After explaining all kinds of words and things, Li Bai climbed the wall tile and walked at night. Because of the curfew law in the Tang Dynasty, no one is allowed to appear on the street at night, otherwise they will be beaten if they are caught, and in serious cases, they will be directly executed.

Li Bai didn't want to be caught, and he didn't want to get into unnecessary trouble, so he didn't stay in Sichuan City for a long time. Taking advantage of the darkness of the night, he avoided those night patrols, went out of the city unconsciously, and went to the Buddhist temple alone.
