Chapter 178: The Master's Death
Everything was arranged, and a festival was chosen, and Li Tao arranged child slaves to pretend to be pilgrims and blend in with the bustling flow of people.
When the sun sets and there is still a trace of afterglow hanging in the sky, the mountain gradually becomes deserted.
At this time, two little women came from the foot of the mountain, judging from their dress, they were young women from a private family who had just held a funeral. The woman walking in front was dressed in a white dress in a sackcloth dress, with white flowers on her head, and her face was full of tears. There was a little girl next to her who was holding a basket of incense.
The two stumbled to the door of the Luohan Palace, and the woman with the white flower on her head whimpered and cried at the door.
At this time, the Master of Compassion, who was in the temple, hurried to the door, and instead of immediately going to help the woman, he glanced left and right down the mountain before bending down and reaching out to help the woman.
The woman hurriedly shrank her body, took off the hand of the Master of Mercy, and said, "Maid, come and help me!"
The Master of Compassion hurriedly changed his words and said, "The poor monk thought that the benefactor had fainted to the ground, and it was rude and rude!"
The flower arrangement woman, supported by the maidservant, knelt on the cushion in front of the incense case, and cried and cried: "My life is so bitter......
The maidservant laid out the offerings, lit the incense candles, and handed them to the flower arranger. The woman of the flower arrangement bowed three times reverently and said, "Bodhisattva god, bless my husband to cross the sea of suffering in the spirit of heaven and reincarnate as soon as possible, and the slave family prays for the company of you again in the next life......"
When the Master of Compassion heard this, he also said in a choked voice: "Amitabha, bless the donor's family with peace!"
After reciting, he lit three incense sticks and handed them to the woman, saying, "Don't be too sad, the old monk will overtake the dead for you, and let your husband leave the underworld and enter the Western Heaven Elysium."
The flower arranger listened and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master."
When she was about to raise the incense to worship, the Master of Compassion said, "Wait, that is the place to pray for blessings and wealth, and the donor will overtake your husband's soul, please go to the place next to the incense table and bow down."
The maidservant girl picked up the hostess and walked to a nearby place and knelt down on her knees. The Master of Mercy picked up a brass bell and gently shook it on the heads of the two women, and as the bell rang, he chanted the words.
Suddenly, with a "bang", the two women's kneeling positions shook, and the two fell into a deep pit of a black hole, and a flat position appeared on the ground in an instant.
The Master of Compassion turned a blind eye to what had just happened, and still rang the bell and chanted the sutra as he walked, until he reached the door, and when he found that no one was coming, he suddenly rushed towards a stone slab at the door. He lifted the stone slab, and there was a cave underneath. Master Mercion jumped into the cave, moved a stone slab to cover the entrance, lit a candle, and walked down the path below the cave, which was only as high as one man.
I saw a large net hanging in the middle of the cellar, and in the net were two struggling women.
The Master of Compassion put the candles away, looked at the big net and laughed twice: "Don't struggle, don't struggle, I will come to help you get out of the big net."
The Master of Mercy untied the net and said, "What a pitiful young lady who has lost her husband at a young age......
"Let go of me!" The woman in the flower arrangement shouted, "Villain, wild monk! ”
"Hehe, you call me bad, scold me for being wild, and you'll know where I'm bad and wild later!"
With a "slap", the woman reached out of the mesh and gave the Master of Mercy a slap.
The Master of Mercy was so angry that he stretched out his leg and kicked at the net, raised a dagger, and said to the woman, "Obey me obediently, or I will kill you with one sword!"
Before the Master of Mercy could finish his words, the woman had already cut the net rope with a knife, jumped to the ground, and said, "Don't be rampant, wild monk, watch this girl clean you up!"
So, the two women jumped forward, grabbed the wild monk on the left and the right, and started fighting. The wild monk also had a bit of kung fu, using his fists and feet, blocking left and right, and playing for about a stick of incense, regardless of victory or defeat.
The Master of Mercy relied on mastering the mechanism, and from time to time released dark darts, which were blocked by the two women.
At this time, the woman of the flower arrangement said to the maidservant, "Suana, you go out along the passage to report the news, and I will deal with him!"
When the maid heard this, she looked out of the air, and the master of mercy dared to let her out, and chased after her to trip her.
The flower arranger swept her legs from behind and swept the Master of Mercy to the ground.
At this time, the Master of Compassion was worried that there was an ambush outside, so he got up from the ground and rushed out of the hole first.
The two women chased after them, chasing and fighting, until they reached the "fairy footprints", and suddenly a black shadow flew from the air, like an eagle swooping down, overpowering the wild monk, and a big hand tightly pinched the wild monk's neck and throat.
"Where to escape, hurry up and arrest you, otherwise you will be crushed!"
"Uncle Yue!" Don't ask, those two women are Hua Jingjing and Suanna.
When the Master of Compassion saw that he had met a master, he was so frightened that he sweated: "Master spare my life, please let me live, I will dedicate all the jewelry to you, and go away by myself!"
Pei Yue snorted and said, "How to deal with you, I don't count what I said, you just accept your fate!"
At this time, all the child slaves gathered around, tied up the Master of Mercy with their hands and feet, and carried him down the mountain.
After interrogation, the Master of Mercy confessed, and from another cave he brought out three boxes of hairpin jewels worn by the victim for many years, as well as a pile of white bones.
……
"Li Xiaolangjun, you are looking for me, but the matter of money is eyebrow-raising?" Yao Chong's eyes lit up when he saw Li Tao.
"Naturally, I have eyebrows, otherwise how dare I see you Yao Thorn Shi!" Li Tao didn't have a good airway.
Yao Chong's face was happy, and he kept rubbing his hands: "That dare is good, that dare is good!" ”
"Yao Tingshi, come here with your ears!"
……
"Master of Mercy, according to the law, you should have been beheaded, remembering that you are highly respected among the people of Luzhou, this assassin has decided to let you go!" Yao Chong is serious.
"Ahh The Master of Compassion was pleasantly surprised: "The poor monk thanked Lord Thorn Shi. ”
Yao Chong's voice changed and said, "But you have to do Ben Thorn Shi a favor!" ”
"Lord Thorn Shi, you say, as long as I can do it, I will never give up!"
"You don't have to die, you just need to come forward and ask the people to donate some money and materials."
When the Master of Compassion heard that it was just a trivial matter, he said with a full mouth: "Lord Assassin, this matter is wrapped up in the poor monk!" ”
In order to dispel the concerns of the Master of Compassion, Yao Chongzheng said: "We have dug a tunnel under the altar, and when the fire is lit, you will come out of the tunnel to keep you safe." ”
Yao Chong took the old monk to the scene again, and then set a good day and auspicious day, and the people of Luzhou heard that the master of mercy sat on the altar to preach the Dharma, and came to donate money.
When it came to the day of the opening of the altar, the surrounding people also came to donate money. In a few days, the donation has reached hundreds of thousands!
I saw the Master of Compassion sitting on the altar with a high profile, and below was a group of little monks singing in unison, so lively!
After the lecture was finished, I heard someone shouting; The Living Buddha appeared and lit the fire to greet him!
Suddenly, there was a fire around the altar, and the Master of Compassion hurriedly got off the altar, but the authentic entrance had already been blocked.
After the fire was extinguished, only a few relics were left on the altar, and everyone really believed that the living Buddha had ascended to heaven.
Yao Chong's eyebrows were solved, and the relief money that the Master of Compassion exchanged for a human life could be regarded as a good deed before he died.
