Chapter Fifty-Three: The Monastery Mutates
To be honest, what Shoko misses most now is Juanzi.
When he couldn't get out of bed, he asked Yuankong to inquire about Juanzi's news.
The person who came replied that Juanzi got married the day after he was taken away by the soldiers.
This was said by Aunt Wang, a neighbor of Yao's shopkeeper's house, and she personally combed Juanzi's hair.
Xiangzixin, this thing must not be wrong.
But this incident also made Shoko feel strange and uneasy.
With Juanzi's affection and stubbornness towards him, how could he easily agree to marry?
What's more, when he was taken away and his life and death were unknown.
He firmly believes that Juanzi will never leave him alone and become her bride.
There is only one answer, that is, Juanzi is committed to marrying in order to save herself.
Several times, he wanted to go down the mountain to find out for himself.
But the presiding monk has something to say, he is already a dead man at the bottom of the mountain, and he must not show his face at the bottom of the mountain again.
Otherwise, you will be killed.
Moreover, as soon as he was able to practice martial arts and preside over the monk, he taught him a set of practitioners' stick methods.
And instructed him to pay close attention to the drill, which will be useful in the future.
In the early morning of this day, Xiangzi practiced the whole set of boxing, and danced for a while, but he was already sweating and panting.
At this time, on the eastern peak, the sun only showed half of its shy face, and was wrapped in a pile of long-awaited gray clouds.
There were only a few brightly colored beams of light, struggling out.
Without hesitation, he smeared everything on the ground with a faint color.
Xiangzi wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, and when he saw Yuankong coming in a hurry, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Guo Jushi! The host calls you over. ”
When Xiangzi heard this, he hurriedly carried a stick and hurriedly walked towards the mountain gate.
The presiding monk has stood silently in the small square in front of the mountain gate.
Seeing Xiangzi coming, he said briefly: "After eating, you take Yuankong to the back mountain and chop some tools and come back."
Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the farm tools have to be trimmed.
Oh, try to get as many as you can. ”
After saying that, he walked towards the main hall.
Just after noon, a carriage suddenly broke into the mountain gate, and the carriage was full of soldiers.
I saw the big man in the lead, who jumped out of the car and shouted: "Come and surround the intersection, if anyone dares to break in, kill on the spot!" ”
The presiding monk and a few stewards walked out of the main hall together.
The presiding monk said calmly and majestically: "Amitabha, the Buddha Gate is pure, and you can't enter it casually with a gun."
If you have something, please speak outside the mountain gate. ”
The leader glanced at the monk fiercely and said, "Lao Tzu doesn't care about the pure land, come and hand over the gangsters, Guo Guixiang." ”
The monk compassionate clasped his palms together and said, "The monastery only has people who recite the Buddha and practice, and they have never seen the important offenses you said. ”
The leader glared at him and said, "I won't talk to you about it, take us from house to house."
If you dare to play tricks, you will be accused of harboring and shot! ”
The abbot still said calmly: "The donor, please, just don't damage the magic objects in the temple." Amitabha Buddha ......"
The leader, waving his hand impatiently, said, "Come quickly!" Hurry up! ”
They rummaged around the corners of the monastery and did not see the person they were looking for.
The leader glanced around the temple unwillingly, and said to himself: "The sun is strange, are you seeing a ghost?" ”
Then, he turned around and said to the presiding monk: "I haven't searched today, so I can't say that he is not here."
It's best to take the initiative to hand him over, if I catch him one day, you won't be able to eat and walk around. ”
As he spoke, he walked out of the mountain gate dejectedly.
It turned out that a guy from Yao's shopkeeper Silk Village met Xiangzi when he accompanied his secret love cousin to Nanshan Temple for incense.
That day, they came up early to burn incense.
Unexpectedly, he saw Xiangzi sitting on the big bluestone in a daze.
At first, he couldn't believe it was true.
Because he knew that Xiangzi was arrested for being a bandit, he never came back.
Why would you avoid being idle in Nanshan Temple?
He didn't give up, pressed a broken straw hat against his face, pretended to tie his shoes, squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully for a while, it was indeed Xiangzi who was not fake.
Later, when I met Huang Lian Commander on the street, I muttered to him: "Didn't you say that you want to shoot Xiangzi, why are people hiding in Nanshan Temple?" ”
Huang Lian Chang was not surprised by this, he hurriedly grabbed the young man's collar, and said eagerly: "What the hell are you talking nonsense, I'm afraid you've met a ghost, right?" ”
The young man hurriedly argued: "At first I didn't believe it, but I sneaked closer to take a closer look, and yes, it was him." ”
Company Commander Huang thoughtfully patted the young man's shoulder, twisted his body and left silently.
The young man hated Xiangzi because he was stuck in the process of delivering and collecting money, but he was discovered by Xiangzi.
Not only did he not get the money, but he also got a kick from Xiangzi in the ass.
Fortunately, Xiangzi didn't tell Shopkeeper Yao about this.
Otherwise, I would have smashed my current job.
But he still holds a grudge against Xiangzi and spoils his own good deeds.
I didn't know that he said casually, but it disturbed Nanshan Temple and lost its former tranquility.
When it was almost time to turn on the lamp, Xiangzi Cai and Yuankong carried two bundles of fresh wooden sticks and entered the temple sweating.
After breakfast, Yuankong came to Xiangzi and said that the host asked him to come over.
As soon as Xiangzi and Yuankong arrived at the gate of the main hall, the presiding monk waved at him twice.
When the host came to the abbot's room, the abbot seemed to deliberately lower his voice and said, "You two, move to the vegetable garden on the mountain now and live for a few days."
Don't ask why, I have my own arrangements. ”
The two of them went out the door without promise.
Regarding the arrangement of the abbot monk, Xiangzi did not have the slightest idea of incomprehension and doubt.
He knew that the presiding monk had some gods, as if he could know something in advance.
Therefore, people who have been in office for a long time are always accustomed to simple implementation of the abbot's arrangement, and never ask the reason.
This is the third night that Shoko and Enku have moved away.
The moon, which climbed up in the second half of the night, seemed to be relieved of its spirits, and it was exceptionally clear.
The large and small trees of the temple are clearly outlined.
The black dog tied to the base of the south wall suddenly barked fiercely.
provoked the other two dogs, and they also barked wildly.
Outside the mountain gate, the lights are bright.
Someone was banging on the mountain gate eagerly and roughly.
The monk on duty opened the mountain gate in some panic.
A group of soldiers rushed in like a swarm.
I don't know when, the presiding monk has already stood in front of the main hall.
The one who took the lead was still the tall soldier who came last time.
He rushed to the abbot with a domineering posture and said, "Old monk! Come and gather all the people, young and old, in the square, there is no one left, Lao Tzu wants to find someone! ”
The presiding monk said to the monk with a calm face, "Lead them away." ”
After a group of soldiers left, the big soldier rushed to preside over the monk and said casually: "Disturb, I am also carrying out the order of the upper peak." ”
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and smoked it unscrupulously.
The abbot's eyes were slightly closed, and his voice was thick and soothing: "Amitabha, everything in the world has a fate, and good and evil have their own rewards. ”
It turned out that after Commander Huang learned that Xiangzi was not dead, he went to see Camp Commander Xu.
Battalion Commander Xu glared at him fiercely, and said angrily: "Look at you doing this bit of, you made a mess of!" ”
After pondering for a while, he continued: "Recently, the rumors of the search for horse bandits have been very tight, and the police station has issued a lot of bounties.
Send a few more people to get him back and hand him over to the police station to receive the reward. ”
Company Commander Huang said listlessly: "It's better to teach the police station to go directly to get people, but it will save trouble." ”
Camp Commander Xu said with displeasure: "You know a fart!" If the police can't catch someone, they say that we lied and get caught, and it's their credit.
It's different when we send people, catch people, receive rewards and invite credit; If you can't catch someone, you should be left alone. ”
When the company commander heard this, he sneered and said, "The battalion commander is still clever and thoughtful. ”
So, there was the first temple search.
After returning empty-handed, Battalion Commander Xu felt strange. asked Huang Company Commander to send more people to make a surprise investigation at night.
Those who served as soldiers surrounded the front and back of the temple tightly.
woke everyone up from their sleep and drove them to the square one after another.
The leader whispered to a short soldier, and then shouted for people to walk under the torches.
The short man was carefully identified as if he were looking for his father.
When the people in the square were all gone, the short man looked a little puzzled, and then panicked at the leader, shaking his head blankly.
The leader yelled at a group of soldiers: "Are you all clean? ”
A group of soldiers responded in a gossiping manner.
The leader shook his head in frustration, twisted his body and kicked the short man in the ass, scolding, "You fucking met a ghost, and you made Lao Tzu sleep." ”
As he spoke, he slapped him again.
Short, so scared that he doesn't even dare to fart.
Actually, a short man is a young man.
