After the compassionate abbot returned to the west, Deng Long became the presiding abbot of the Baozhu Temple of Erlong Mountain.

Just a month after Master Compassion returned to the west, Deng Long led several senior brothers to the north, and one night he touched the county magistrate's house in the county seat and cut off the head of the dog official.

Subsequently, Deng Long took more than 300 monks from Erlongshan Baozhu Temple to return to the vulgar together, pulled the flag and rebelled, and changed the Erlongshan Baozhu Temple into a cottage, and became the king of the mountain for the heavens.

After Lu Zhishen listened to Sun Erniang's story, he slapped the table and said: "This Deng Long is also refreshing, he is a good man, and I have gone to this cottage." ”

At this time, Zhang Qing walked in with the written letter and said, "Brother Lu, so you are willing to go to Erlong Mountain." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Yes, of course I am willing, being a robber who does the way for heaven is much better than those people who pretend to be bodhisattvas and are sanctimonious." Amitabha! ”

Sun Erniang said: "That's right. ”

Lu Zhishen took the letter in Zhang Qing's hand and said, "Then I'll leave and go on the road and rush to the two dragon mountain robbers." ”

Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang took a lot of silver and stuffed it into Lu Zhishen's baggage, and sent him to Gaogang all the way, then hugged his fists and said: "Brother Lu, take care all the way." When we get there, I will send a letter to our husband and wife, so as not to worry about everyone. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "The Sprinkle family knows. Take care! He took down his Zen stick and strode down the hill and walked straight in the direction of Erlong Mountain.

More than one day, I came to the foot of Erlong Mountain, and when I looked up, I saw that it was really a good mountain.

This is a mountain that at first looked like a large stone platform, and along the only curved path to climb up to the halfway point of the mountain, two facing peaks burst out, each like a dragon with fangs and claws, hence the name Erlong Mountain. The temple was built in the middle of two facing peaks.

Lu Zhishen came to the foot of Erlong Mountain, and the minions standing guard in the cottage saw it and said loudly: "The monk from there, stop!" Don't go up the hill. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "The Sprinkle family is a traveling monk from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi, and I heard that there is a treasure pearl temple on this mountain, so I came to worship. ”

Minions said: "Monk, it's no wonder that you didn't come far away. You don't know, there is indeed a Baozhu Temple you mentioned on this mountain, but now it has been converted into a Juyi Hall by the king on the mountain. If you want to worship the Buddha, I'm sorry, so let's go somewhere else. ”

Lu Zhishen said deliberately: "It's really nonsense, how can a good temple be changed into the righteous hall of the King of the Mountain, isn't this blasphemy against the Buddha!" Amitabha! ”

As soon as the minion Luo Bing heard Lu Zhishen reciting Amitabha Buddha there, he said: "Monk, don't go there Amitabha, if you want to say that you want to recite this Amitabha, I haven't said that I have been reciting it for four or five years, don't let you recite it smoothly." As he spoke, he opened his voice and said, "Amitabha! Amitabha! Amitabha! After reciting three times in a row, he laughed and said, "Monk, the Amitabha Buddha I recite is better than the Amitabha Buddha you recited!" ”

Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "It's good, it's just a little impetuous." ”

The minion said: "Monk, I am impetuous, that is the reason why I haven't read it for many years." You better go somewhere else and recite your Amitabha. Don't ramble on this! ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Amitabha, donor, you still have the grace to let me go up the mountain to pay homage, and it is not easy for me to come from afar." ”

The minion said, "Why are you a monk pestering people like this?" Is the cottage a casual place to go! ”

The two of them were chattering there. Then four or five people came down from the mountain, and walking in the middle was a sturdy man of twenty-four or five years old, eight feet tall, with ape arms and wolf waist, shining eyes, and full of spirit.

The man walked up to the little minions and said, "Where did this monk come from?" ”

The little minions said: "Back to the lord of the village, he said that he came from Wutai Mountain in Shanxi and wanted to go up the mountain to worship the Buddha." ”

The owner of the village looked at Lu Zhishen and said, "This master is really sorry, now the temple on this mountain has been changed to the Juyi Hall." There is no Buddha in it. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "King, although there is no Buddha master, isn't this temple still there, you let me pay a visit, and it is not worth my trip." ”

The owner of the village said: "Monk, it seems that your heart is not very pious. Then let me go up and have a look. Please! ”

Lu Zhishen clasped his palms together and said: "Amitabha, such a poor monk has thanked the king." ”

The owner of the village smiled faintly and said, "You're welcome. "Take the lead and walk up the hill.

Lu Zhishen also followed behind with a Zen stick.

Only then did the owner of the village see the Zen staff in Lu Zhishen's hand and said, "Master, the Zen staff in your hand should not be made of wood." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Hehe, the Zen staff is a Buddhist magic weapon, as long as it can subdue demons and eliminate monsters, it doesn't matter what it is made of." ”

The owner of the village nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Lu Zhi followed the owner of the village through a fence that blocked most of the mountainside, walked to the platform, and saw that there was a flat land about forty or fifty zhang wide between the two peaks, where there stood a big temple with blue bricks and red tiles, and the temple eaves mountain also hung a plaque with three big characters on the book: "Baozhu Temple".

The owner of the village pointed to the mountain gate and said, "Master, please see, this is the Baozhu Temple you are going to visit." ”

Lu Zhishen looked at it and nodded: "Yes, yes, surrounded by twin peaks, in the middle of the temple." Sure enough, it is a treasure of feng shui. ”

The owner of the village said: "Does the master still look at feng shui?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "I don't dare to say it, I just know a little bit about it." ”

Those people on the mountain, when they saw the owner of the village leading a fat monk standing at the mountain gate, pointed at the mountain gate, and they all poured out one after another, standing in the courtyard and looking this way.

The owner of the village smiled and said: "Let the master see it, no one has come to the cottage for a long time, and the brothers have come out to see the excitement." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "I'm not a raw person, I'm an acquaintance." ”

The owner of the village said: "Could it be that the master still has friends on this Erlong Mountain?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "Amitabha, the owner of the village is a monk, so when I arrive at this temple, it is like going home, do you say that I am an acquaintance." ”

The owner of the village laughed and nodded: "The master is still a funny monk, an acquaintance, an acquaintance. ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Since the monk is at home, why don't you let me go inside and have a look." ”

The owner of the village said in his heart: "You monk really don't treat yourself as an outsider." Is the Juyi Hall a place for your monks to look casually? Then he wanted to see the fat monk's honest appearance, and he didn't have any bad intentions, so he said: "If the master wants to see it, just look at it!" ”

Lu Zhishen strode into the mountain gate and went straight to the Juyi Hall, only to see that the original Buddha statues were all moved to the corner of the wall, and in the middle of the hall there was a chair covered with tiger skins, and at a glance it was the throne of the King of the Mountain, and there were more than 20 chairs on both sides, which should be the seats of those small leaders.

Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "Amitabha, the king, you are here to be a Buddha." ”

The owner of the village said: "The master laughed, how dare I be a Buddha, but I am just temporarily leading the brothers to settle here." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Okay, what kind of good place to stay." Condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”

The owner of the village was shocked and said, "Master, do you still arrange troops?" ”

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "What kind of arrangement will the Sprinkle family have, I'm just talking about it casually." ”

At this time, a minion came to the owner of the village and said, "The owner of the village, it's time to eat." ”

The owner of the village turned to Lu Zhishen and said, "Master, can you sit down and have a few drinks together." ”

Lu Zhishen said: "Thank you to the owner of the village, the stomach of the Sprinkle family is hungry!" ”

The two came to the dining hall, and the owner of the village said to Lu Zhishen: "The master invites you to sit down." Lu Zhishen was also polite, leaned on the Zen staff in his hand, and sat down with a golden knife.

The owner of the village asked again, "Master, what precepts do you have?" ”

Lu Zhishen smiled and said: "What to quit, the Sprinkle family is a monk of wine and meat, if there is anything delicious and delicious, just serve it." ”

The owner of the village said in his heart: It seems that this monk is worthy of being the master of the Quartet, and he is not polite at all.

The owner of the village raised his wine glass and said: "The master has nothing to eat on this mountain, thin wine and vegetarian dishes, and I will toast the master with a glass of wine." ”

Lu Zhishen picked up the wine glass and drank it with a squeak, and said in Bada Bada's mouth: "Good wine!" It's just that the cup is too small, and it's not enjoyable to drink. ”

When the owner of the village heard this, hey, how did you meet such a master. I had to say, "Come, change the big bowl." ”

After a while, the two minions held more than a dozen large bowls on the table, and the village said to the little leaders sitting beside them: "Brothers, it is rare for our cottage to have a guest all year round. Good no good! ”

The dozen or so little leaders said in unison: "Good! Then there is your bowl, and he stepped forward to touch the bowl with Lu Zhishen one after another, and drank.

Lu Zhishen didn't push back, it was really a man who didn't refuse, one bowl on the left and one bowl on the right, and he drank more than a dozen bowls at the same time, and his face was still as usual.

The people in the cottage were surprised, there was such a monk there, it was not the wine Arhat who came down to this Erlong Mountain, and the little minions also put down their rice bowls and crowded over to see the excitement.

The wine was drunk until the end of the day, and the owner of the village saw that Lu Zhishen had no intention of getting up and leaving, so he said: "Master, it's getting late." If it's late, it's hard to walk when it's dark. ”

Lu Zhishen "snapped" and slapped the table and said: "What are you afraid of when it's dark, I'll be here with you tonight for a night, and I'll not leave." ”

When many people heard it, how could this monk be a big-faced cat, he ate and drank, and he didn't go down the mountain, how could he think of relying on our cottage.

The owner of the village was a little embarrassed and said, "Master, this treasure bead temple is really crowded. There really isn't a place to live. ”

Lu Zhishen laughed and said: "Haha, the owner of the village, my monk came to you to settle down, and it was Mengzhou Zhang Qing and Sun Erniang who introduced me here to find the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long." ”

The owner of the village hurriedly stood up and said, "Master, I am the golden-eyed tiger Deng Long, you said that it was introduced by Brother Zhang Qing, I don't know if there is a letter." (To be continued.) )
