Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Outsider

Although Zhou Tong left, he left a mess for Mrs. Liu's father and daughter. After waking up Liu Sainan, the father and daughter had to cry again.

Although he was unwilling, the threat left by Zhou Tong when he left lingered in the minds of everyone in Liujiazhuang. Looking at the usually docile and kind neighbors and township parties, guarding themselves like thieves, Mrs. Liu was angry, what kind of world is this now!

"Daddy don't worry, it's come to this, you can only obey orders!" Liu Sainan comforted his father Liu Taigong softly, but he reported his will to die in his heart.

"That's it! You marry Zhou Tong, do more persuasion, if he can accept Zhao'an, it will not be a good thing! Mrs. Liu comforted her daughter, and she was comforting herself.

Because Zhou Tong clearly said that he would marry tonight, it was close to noon at this time, and the people of Liujiazhuang had to be busy for a while, so they were afraid that Zhou Tong would be dissatisfied. Fruits, pears, peaches, all kinds of pastries and snacks, sugar, tea and wine are all purchased.

Until dark, everyone in front of the village was still busy. At this time, a monk hurriedly came, carrying a Zen staff and a waist knife, not like an ordinary person.

"The Sprinkle family is a passing monk, because I missed the stay, I want to spend a night in the village tonight, tomorrow, please make it convenient, work hard."

The people in Liujiazhuang were worried about the things in the evening, where did they have time to listen to the monk's ramblings, and a villager immediately said impatiently: "I have something to do in the village tonight, and I can't rest." ”

The monk had been gone for a day, without resting, and he expected that there was no other place to go nearby, so he said: "Borrow the house to rest overnight, and tomorrow will be done." ”

There was a kind-hearted Zhuang Ke next to him, and he persuaded him with good words: "Monk go quickly, Hugh is here to beg for death!" ”

I don't want to just spend the night, it involves life and death, and the monk feels strange in his heart. He asked, "It's weird too!" Rest for the night, what's the matter? How is it begging for death? ”

The dealer who spoke before had a bad temper, pushed the monk, and said, "If you go, you will go, and when you don't go, you will be caught and tied here." ”

This monk is a good friend, when he was not a monk, he was also a famous figure in the northwest, and said angrily: "You are a villager, so unreasonable!" If I didn't say anything, I would bind the Sprinkler family. ”

When you see this, you may already know it in your heart. Not bad! This great monk is none other than Lu Ti Shiluda, who has been ordained as a monk, and now has the Dharma name Zhishen.

But he said that Luda missed and injured people a few years ago, left Weizhou, fled east and west, and hurried, but it seemed:

The lonely geese who lost their flocks flew alone in the sky while the moon was bright; The live fish that slipped through the net turned over and surfed and jumped by taking advantage of the water. Regardless of distance or proximity, regardless of high or low. The heart is busy knocking down pedestrians, and his feet are as fast as a horse.

This Lu Ti Ha hurriedly traveled through several state capitals, which was "to escape without avoiding the road, and to be home everywhere". Since ancient times, there have been several ways: "Hunger does not choose food, cold does not choose clothing, panic does not choose the road, poor do not choose a wife." Luda panicked and rushed to the road, and he didn't know where to go, so he walked for more than half a month in a daze, but walked to Yanmen County, Daizhou.

When he was suffering from nowhere to live, he happened to be met by Jin Laohan. After this old man was rescued by Luda and Shi Jin, he and his daughter went to Weizhou to live. Bumped into an ancient neighbor of Jingshi and came here to do business, so he brought Jin Laohan and his son here. killed Jin Laohan's neighbor, so he was a matchmaker with Jin Laohan's daughter, and befriended Zhao Yuan, a wealthy man in Weizhou, and made an outer room.

Jin Laohan thanked Lu Da for his righteous help, and considering that Lu Da was wanted, he invited Lu Da to rest at Zhao Yuanwai's house.

In this way, Luda lived in Zhao Yuanwai's house in Qibao Village for seven or eight days, and Jin Laohan was worried that Luda would be arrested, so Zhao Yuanwai recommended Luda to become a monk in Wenshu Monastery on Wutai Mountain.

Luda was ordained as a monk on Wutai Mountain, and then drank and broke the precepts, kicked down the mountain gate, and made a big fuss in Wenshu Monastery, which made the heavens angry and resentful. As a last resort, Elder Zhizhen of Wenshu Monastery recommended Luda to the Great Xiangguo Temple in Tokyo, where his younger brother Zhiqing Zen Master was located.

Lu Zhishen left the Wenshu Monastery on Wutai Mountain and took the road to Tokyo. After walking for half a month, he did not invest in the temple on the road

The courtyard went to rest, but the fire was lit in the inn, and the food was bought in the wine store during the day.

In the middle of a day, I was greedy to watch the mountains and rivers, but I didn't realize that it was late. If you want to stay in the village, you will arrive at Peach Blossom Village.

The dealers here saw that Lu Zhishen was rude, and it was not good today, and some of them scolded. Those who are timid and afraid, and those who are persuading, there is a noise in front of the door.

Mrs. Liu sat in the room, but she heard the shouting in front of the door, afraid that something would happen. With a cane over his head, he will come out. When he went to the door, he didn't look at Lu Zhishen, and first asked his own villagers: "What are you making trouble?" ”

Seeing Mrs. Liu, the villagers stopped shouting, and one of them said: "It's annoying that this monk wants to beat us." ”

Seeing Liu Taigong, Lu Zhishen clasped his hands together and said, "The little monk is a monk from Wutai Mountain, and he wants to go to Tokyo."

Go to the office, can't catch up with the head tonight, borrow your village to stay overnight, the dealer is rude, and you want to tie up the sprinkle family. ”

Mrs. Liu turned his head to look, and his heart was really a reckless monk, so he didn't blame Zhuang Ke for blocking it.

But see: the soap is straight and wears double sleeves on the back, and the green round silk is obliquely double-headed. The knife in the sheath is three feet of spring ice; Zen staff on the shoulder, a horizontal iron python. The legs of the heron are tightly tied to the feet, and the spider's belly is tightly tied to the mantle. There are thousands of broken iron wires on the sides of the mouth, and a strip of cold hair is exposed on the chest. Generating a carnivorous meal fish face, not a person who reads sutras and recites Buddha.

Mrs. Liu also loves to accumulate kindness in his old age, and he has this trouble in front of him, and he also has a heart for Buddha. So he said to Lu Zhishen: "Since you are a monk from Wutai Mountain, come in with me." ”

Lu Zhishen thanked Mrs. Liu, ignored the strange eyes of Zhuang Ke, followed Mrs. Liu to the main hall, and sat down as the guest and host.

Mrs. Liu saw Lu Zhishen holding a Zen staff and a knife, and knew that there was force, so please come in and be at ease. I was afraid that he would be unhappy about what happened just now, so he said, "Master, don't blame him." The dealers did not realize that the master was a living Buddha, and he looked at each other as an ordinary example. The old man has always believed in the Three Treasures of Buddha and Heaven, although I have something to do in my village tonight, so I have the right to leave the master to rest overnight. ”

Lu Zhi deeply felt that Mrs. Liu was kind-hearted, leaned on the Zen staff, got up to ask, and thanked: "Thank you for the donor, the little monk doesn't dare to ask the surname of Guizhuang?" ”

"The old man's surname is Liu, and he is called Peach Blossom Village, and the villagers call the old man to be Mrs. Liu of Peach Blossom Village." Mrs. Liu replied, and then asked Lu Zhishen, "Dare to ask the master's common surname, what kind of words do you call?" ”

Lu Zhishen clasped his hands together, called Amitabha Buddha, and said: "My master is Elder Zhizhen, and he has taken a word with me. Because of the surname of the sprinkle family, he is called Lu Zhishen. ”

Mrs. Liu was worried that Zhou Cheng would come in the evening, and said: "The indiscriminate teacher will rest in the ear room outside, and if it is lively outside at night, you can't come out to peep." ”

Lu Zhishen noticed that everyone in Liujiazhuang was preoccupied, and Mrs. Liu was also in a heavy mood. He was the most enthusiastic, not to mention staying here for the night, and immediately asked, "Dare to ask what happened tonight in your village?" ”

Mrs. Liu looked up and sighed, "It's not your monk's business. ”

Mrs. Liu was depressed in her heart, and Lu Zhishen happened to be a listener, so she shook her hand and said, "It's okay not to mention it, it's wrong!" Wrong! Wrong! There is a Peach Blossom Mountain here, and there is a group of strong men on the Peach Blossom Mountain, led by two leaders, who came to the village by chance to borrow money and grain. I didn't want to be the daughter of the old man by the king of the mountain today, so I threw away twenty taels of gold and a red brocade. I want to forcibly accept the little girl as the lady of the village, and I am scheduled to pick up the little girl on the mountain today. The old man did not dare to argue with him, and was worried about this matter. ”

Lu Zhishen was jealous and hateful, and of course he had to take care of it when he saw such a thing. "I see. The little monk has a reason, teach him to change his mind, don't marry your daughter! ”
