.

"Uncle Gui, you've seen these two people." Li Bai's anxious face finally showed a smile, and said, "It's Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui." ”

"Them?" Hou Gui frowned and asked, "Young Master, how could they know the whereabouts of the three little masters?" ”

"Uncle Gui, since King Yang and the others are determined to worship my fourth senior brother as a teacher, they will naturally not give up." Li Bai took a sip of tea unhurriedly and said, "Besides, with the temperament of the fourth senior brother, although it looks fierce, it is actually the opposite, and his heart is very good. Therefore, the fourth senior brother will definitely accept Yang Wang and the others as apprentices, I'm sure. ”

"Haha, young master, I understand!" Hou Gui suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile: "What the young master means is that someone on the road saw the three little masters, but not the two Yang Wang, which means that he didn't come with him, maybe he will still stay in the Drunken Flower Building." And since they are already masters and apprentices, the master will definitely explain some other things to the apprentice before leaving, and the whereabouts of the traces may not be explained, and tell Yang Wang and the others. That's right, young master? ”

"Hmm!" Li Bai smiled: "Uncle Gui analyzed! ”

After saying so much, Hou Gui sent Ergou to hurry to Zuihualou, first, to pay off the debt, and second, to inquire about the whereabouts of Wu Gui, Siguo, and Wugui. 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, and they would be detained.

The day passed like that, 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.

With 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 suddenly became curious in his heart, so he asked Li Bai what this was? 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 became interested, 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 teaches it without reservation.

So, after Li Bai's guidance a few times, Hou Gui learned. Although the fight was not very standardized and authentic, Hou Gui remembered all the road moves, so it was also powerful.

"Uncle Gui, rest!" Li Bai persuaded: "My master has confessed that the five poultry 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 practice again tomorrow. Hou Gui was indeed a little tired, waved his hand, and said: "Young master, let's go, drink tea, I heard that a tea horse just came from the trading house yesterday, and it was brought by the old man from the Western Regions, let's try it." ”

"Anthracene!" Li Bai nodded, and then walked to Shang with Uncle Gui. While walking, 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 said as he walked: "Either I will come back tomorrow, or I will come back in a few months, it depends on what kind of goods the master is bringing to the business." ”

"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! ”

"Young master, don't worry!" Hou Gui opened the conversation box and said: "I grew up with my lord when I was young, and when I was eight years old, we followed your grandfather and my father to go around the rivers and lakes. 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 was also depressed and panicked, so he naturally had to go outside. It's just unfortunate that the old man is out of stock, but the young master has gone down the mountain. ”

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

"Young master, don't be depressed!" Hou Gui: "When I first arrived in Chuancheng, I asked someone to bring a letter to the master, saying that if you come back, 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. ”

"I hope so!" Li Bai: "After all, the master's life can't seem to be delayed, and the three senior brothers and I have to solve it quickly." ”

"Young master, let's talk about it." Hou Gui was not at ease, but also a little curious, and asked, "What kind of teacher's life?" Do you need your uncle's help? ”

"It's nothing, it's just to subdue a man-eating youkai." Li Bai: "Oh yes, uncle, where is the Buddhist temple?" 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 collect it! ”

"Huh?" 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 the shock, and said worriedly: "Then the danger is tight now, and many people have died, especially boys and girls." This matter has been in a lot of 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?" ”

"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. The Buddhist temple is in Leshan, and the lord and his wife have also visited the Buddha here, praying for the blessing and peace of the young master. It's just that the Buddha Temple is no longer called the Buddha Temple, the emperor issued a holy decree, the Buddha Temple was changed 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 poured tea for Hou Gui and said, "Drink first." ”

"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, so he asked Li Bai not to ask the Buddhist temple, and said: "For example, it is still cloudless at this time, and the sun is shining, but it may be said that in the blink of an eye, the sky will change immediately." 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 families wake up and find that their children are gone, leaving a pile of white bones. ”

"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 he didn't understand that this man-eating monster had done all the bad things and was evil for the demons, 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, I'm no longer a child now, 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" is one of the Buddhist scriptures, and the most famous sentence 'color is emptiness, emptiness is color' Buddha saying, which comes from this. The Heart Sutra, the meaning of the Sutra of the Heart, is used to remove distracting thoughts from the self.

Of course, whether it is the Heart Sutra or other scriptures, what matters is not the content of the scriptures, but the person who recites the scriptures. As long as the person who recites the sutra has a heart, then even if he is full of those extremely ugly curse words, then he can calm his mind.

But what made Li Bai very puzzled was, what did the monster do with 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, Zen Master Lingyun has been seriously injured and can't hold it anymore, so this man-eating monster is even more emboldened and does whatever he wants.

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 Wu Dao, the four pots and the five ghosts, Li Bai didn't decide to wait any longer, compared with waiting for people and saving people, Li Bai felt that the latter was more important.

It's a pity that Hou Gui didn't agree after knowing it, and 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.

Hou Gui didn't have to worry, saying that he had learned a lot of skills in the Zhuxian Temple, and it would not be a big problem. He also said that if you are really worried about me, you should quickly find Wu Gui, Siguo and Wugui, and ask them to come and ask the Buddhist temple for help.

After all kinds of words, 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. Therefore, Li Bai did not stay in Sichuan City for a long time, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to avoid the night watch, and went out of the city unknowingly, and went to the Buddhist temple alone.
