The Daoning monk of Shifang Temple scolded and walked down the mountain, feeling that he was overwhelmed.

After Ye Chang came last time, the first seat of Chunxin didn't like Dao Ning, and felt that the reason why he didn't act according to Ye Chang's plan was to blame this Chunxin for always saying bad things about Ye Chang behind his back - Chunxin is really not a Buddhist monk, at least in terms of quantity, so some people like to push their responsibilities to others.

In this way, Daoning's original hot position in the temple is a little unsafe, connecting for many days, the first seat does not give him a good face, but also supports him to do those heavy jobs of cutting wages and carrying water, tired and panting, if it were not for the benefits of inheriting the temple property in the future, he would have run back to Xiaoliu Village a long time ago.

All of this was caused by Ye Chang, not Ye Chang, there was no such trouble at all!

Dao Ning was swearing and cursing Ye Chang, he turned around a corner of the mountain with firewood, and just happened to see Ye Chang coming. He immediately threw firewood, held a firewood knife and scolded angrily: "Ye Shiyilang, you broom star smashing to death of the plague, you still dare to come up the mountain?" ”

Yuan Highway and Brother Qian came up the mountain, saw the lush trees, birds and flowers, the two of them were in a much better mood, and were asking about the allusion of Ye Chang Shifang Temple who led the way, but unexpectedly jumped out of an evil monk halfway. The two of them were startled at first, and then Brother Qian laughed: "Ye Chang, how hated are you, so there are people shouting and beating everywhere?" ”

Ye Chang's expression was calm, and he arched his hand: "This monk's name is Daoning, and the layman is the nephew of Liu Lizheng. ”

One sentence made Yuan Highway and Brother Qian understand that it was not that he had a bad character and everyone shouted and beat him, but that the Liu family hated him to the core. As soon as Yuan Highway heard that he was the nephew of the layman Liu Fengyin, he didn't like it, and the messengers around him were also prepared after the battle, and immediately stepped forward with a horizontal knife in his hand and shouted: "Bold wild monk, you don't salute when you see the county lieutenant!" ”

As soon as Daoning heard that it was the county lieutenant, he was startled, threw away his knife, gave up his salary, made a random salute and turned around and ran, shouting as he ran: "Disaster is coming, disaster is coming!" ”

As soon as the county lieutenant came, the tenth ** was a case, and it was not wrong for him to think that it was a disaster, but the mistake was that he shouted out what he thought in his heart, shouting as if the county lieutenant was a disaster. Brother Qian laughed again, and Yuan Highway was annoyed and almost angry, but fortunately, at this time, Ye Chang was empathetic, and said with a smile: "Speaking of wild monks, I don't know when I heard an interesting story about a wild monk." ”

"Oh?"

"There was once a scribe in the sea to see the saint, the road to see a temple, into the Buddha to ask for tea. The temple knows that the guest is vulgar and stingy, seeing that his appearance is not good, the clothes are shabby, and the hospitality is very cold, only to treat the word with two words, one word 'sitting' and one word 'tea', and the novice will understand the following, and he will not serve tea for a long time. The scribe was bored waiting for the tea, so he talked about ancient and modern allusions with the acquaintance, and the monk was surprised by his talent, so he ordered the scribe to 'sit down' and urge the novice to 'serve tea', and the novice went to decoction by himself. When the guest asked the scribe for his name, he knew that the person he met was a great talent in the sea, jumped up and exclaimed, and saluted the scribe, saying, 'Please take a seat', and ordered the novice to 'offer fragrant tea'. ”

No one knew this allusion at this time, and Yuan Highway and Brother Qian couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. But then Ye Chang said: "Later, the scribe in Nahai said goodbye, and the monk begged him to write a poem on the wall. He wrote the words 'sit, please, sit' on the left side of the temple gate, and 'tea, tea, fragrant tea' on the right side of the temple gate, and then laughed and left......"

Yuan Highway and Brother Qian suddenly laughed, Yuan Highway pointed at Ye Chang and said: "That Hai Nei scribe is a narrow ghost, and you kid is also a narrow ghost!" ”

Brother Qian next to him couldn't help but have a hint of bitterness in his smile, he was also a domestic scribe, his poetry was extremely famous, and he was moved for a while, but because he was not willing to do so, he was a little sluggish, and he had encountered what Ye Chang said more than once.

Da Lu smiled and stopped, and saw the first pure letter of the Shifang Temple stumbling out with the monk, and the monk who shouted "Disaster is coming" had an extra palm print on his face. Yuan Highway and Brother Qian laughed again, laughing inexplicably.

"There is something to bother your temple today, and I want to use the statue of Veda Vesta in Baosha." After the pure letter was saluted, Ye Chang said to the old monk with a smile.

Chunxin was so frightened that he suddenly shuddered.

Last time, he didn't perform according to the script arranged by Ye Chang, and he smashed the last good play, and the original Wei Tuo was able to summon how much incense to Shifang Temple, but the effect was not half of what was expected. What's more, that incident made Chunxin understand that Ye Chang, a young man, is really hateful, and his advantage is not easy to take advantage of!

And since then, the success of the rainbow canal water diversion has made pure faith regretful, and there was originally the credit of their Shifang Temple here, but now it is no benefit at all. On the contrary, just because Ye Chang's sentence was lit by a certain Taoist, the incense of the Medicine King Temple at the other end of the mountain was twice as good!

really makes Chunxin envious, jealous and hateful, but this is not the end, now Ye Chang has taken the county lieutenant to "borrow the statue for use", it is obvious that he is here to settle accounts.

Chunxin had the heart to refuse, but seeing the presence of the county lieutenant, he didn't have the courage. Behind him, Doning covered his face that had been slapped and muttered, "I just said it, it's a disaster......

Then he almost got another draw.

Ye Chang asked Chunxin for something, asked him to take out a curtain, cover the statue of Veda from head to toe, and sent Dao Ning to bring a few basins of water, and then prayed silently in front of the covered statue of Vedas. He did all kinds of things, and when he saw that Yuan Highway and Brother Qian were funny and interesting in their eyes, he could see that in the eyes of the rest of the people who followed, there was a kind of mystery. Immediately afterwards, Ye Chang drilled into the curtain, and everyone looked at his figure to prop up the curtain and circle the idol nine times.

When he came out again, his expression was already solemn.

"I have prayed silently to the Bodhisattva for the Bodhisattva's incarnation to come, so that I will not be bumped by the people, so I will cover it with a curtain." Ye Chang took a few steps away from the statue, and then said to everyone: "The bodhisattva incarnation has arrived, you should have respect, and you should not make a loud noise!" ”

His appearance made Yuan Highway and Brother Qian confused, Ye Chang asked the two to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and the two of them also saluted according to their words in line with the Chinese people's habit of worshipping God when they saw them. They didn't think it themselves, but when the onlookers around saw this scene, their trust in Ye Chang's words in their hearts changed from five to nine.

There is no other reason, seeing that even the "big people" like the county lieutenant and his friends believe according to their words, so how can ordinary people not follow up. Suddenly, people gave salutes, and Ye Chang saw that one of them also began to salute, and he was 100% sure in his heart.

"After a while, the twelve people I ordered will bow around the idol three times one by one, and then go inside and touch the idol with their hands - the person who stole the gold and silver title deeds in the box with witchcraft, has a bad heart and is treacherous, and touching the golden body will not be tolerated by the Bodhisattva, and lightning will strike him." Ye Chang said in a deep voice: "Wait for a while, you will be able to see the difference!" ”

"If so...... What if no one is struck by lightning? In the crowd, Ye Neem asked in a trembling voice.

"If no one condemns the Bodhisattva, then I am a demon, and the demons confuse the public, please ask the county lieutenant to cure my sin!" Ye Chang is categorical.

He said it so firmly that no one dared to doubt it.

After a while, Liu Fengyin brought the twelve named people with him. Most of these twelve people are the servants and maids of the Ye Neem family, Yuan Highway nodded slightly after asking about their identities, although Ye Chang's practice of judging them by ghosts and gods is ridiculous, but picking out these twelve people is similar to Yuan Highway's own thoughts, that is, this theft, ten ** is committed by internal thieves.

Ye Neem stepped forward to explain the situation to them, and the twelve people had different expressions, but most of them were panicked. Ye Chang saw that everyone understood how to do it, so he stepped forward and saluted to Yuan Highway and said, "Shaofu, the time has come, please let me do it." ”

"Go ahead." Yuan Highway nodded.

Ye Chang turned his face to look at everyone, reiterated the rules again, and then said: "I will start to roll call, and all the people who are ordered will enter the curtain one by one, and after turning three times, they will come out from behind the statue - uncle, there is one more thing I would like to ask you to help me with." ”

Ye Dan, who was watching in a daze on the side, was also a puzzle in his heart at this time, and he said in fear: "What's the matter?" ”

"You take the people from the side of the idol, and when you have made three circles, you will take them out of the city." Ye Chang commanded loudly, and then leaned over to Ye Dan's ear and whispered.

No one else heard this sentence, Ye Dan looked confused, and took the two Ye disciples to go around behind the idol, and then seemed to feel a little disrespectful to the idol, so he saluted the idol over there.

Ye Chang didn't care about him anymore, but looked at the twelve, and under his gaze, the twelve lowered their eyebrows.

During this time, Ye Chang's encounter with immortals was spread in Wu Zepi, and most of these twelve people were servants of the third room chief, and they had learned Ye Chang differently before and after, so it was inevitable that he would be afraid. Ye Chang looked at them for a while, waited for everyone to calm down, and then ordered someone.

The person who was ordered trembled all over, raised his head as if asking for help, and glanced at the county lieutenant Yuan Highway, Yuan Highway was calm and silent, the man could only move step by step, walked towards the idol, and then got into the curtain.

It was dark in the curtain, and only a faint shadow could be seen, and the man felt terrified at the idol's feet, like a poisonous snake in front of him, ready to withdraw his hand at any moment. He almost held his breath before he followed Ye Chang's request and circled the idol three times, and then heard Ye Dan's voice guide him out of the back.

Everyone else was in front of him, so no one saw him go out, but he could hear him cheering, apparently glad that he had not been punished by the Bodhisattva.

Dao Ning was originally holding his breath, but at this time he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, he was not a long memory, and said in a weird manner at the moment: "Bodhisattva trial? I've been a monk for ten years, and I've never heard of a bodhisattva trying a case. What is the thief of the Ye family being a Bodhisattva, and he wants the Bodhisattva to judge the case for him? ”

Pure faith "Amitabha" recited the Buddha's name, glared at him, and became more and more disgusted with him in his heart: Things have not yet come to an end, so he is in such a hurry to speak, this guy is really difficult to take on a big responsibility, and it can even be said that it will only cause trouble for Shifang Temple!

If a new monk comes here, it's better to send this guy away.

Dao Ning didn't know that his time in Shifang Temple was running out, he was proud and waiting to be said, Ye Chang had already swept over with a cold gaze: "If the Bodhisattva doesn't try the case, it must be caused by the disrespect of the Bodhisattva by someone present, if you don't want to be slapped, just shut up and get out of the way!" ”

Fearing the county lieutenant, Doning muttered a dog-to-man situation, and then kept his mouth shut.

Ye Chang named the second person, then the third and fourth. In the same way, everyone drilled into the curtain and circled the statue three times, and then drilled out from behind. After they got out, they were stopped by Ye Dan and were not allowed to make a sound, and stood quietly.

When the first six people were in place, everyone remained quiet, but at the beginning of the seventh, someone whispered, Ye Chang opened the folding fan again, shook it gently, and said with a calm and relaxed look: "It seems that the thief is among the remaining five, and you will soon be able to see the difference, you should be calm - by the way, I don't know if the Bodhisattva sent down the thunder or sent out a divine fire to kill the thief......"

He said it easily, and the expressions of the remaining five changed drastically. When each of them is called, it is as if they were on the execution ground, and when they come out from behind the statue of the Bodhisattva, they are like they are reborn. After all the twelve people passed by, there was nothing unusual, and everyone immediately discussed, even if they were close to Ye Chang, they also looked at Ye Chang with strange eyes at this time.

Only Ye Chang himself still retains his original appearance.

"It's him, it's this cheap seed, it's really the demon method he used, in front of the Bodhisattva, his demon law is restless, so the original form is revealed!" Liu screamed frantically.

"Master Shaofu, quickly catch this unfilial son!" This is neem roaring.

And Liu Fengyin just had a flattering smile on his face, and leaned up to Yuan Highway and said: "Master Shaofu, you see that public opinion is so ......"

Yuan Highway was almost scratching his scalp at this time.

In the depths of his heart, he was biased towards Ye Chang, but Ye Chang had said too much before, and the matter of the Bodhisattva's trial was too mysterious, so even if he had the heart to defend it, there was nothing he could do.

"Ahem...... Ye Chang, what else do you have to say? ”

Everyone was quiet for the time being, waiting for Ye Chang's response. Ye Chang bowed and saluted: "Qi Shaofu, the Bodhisattva has already broken off the thief." ”

"Huh?" Everyone didn't expect that at this time, he was still hard-mouthed, it was Yuan Highway, and he also felt extremely unhappy in his heart, at this time, if Ye Chang quickly admitted defeat and admitted his mistakes, he could still be punished lightly, but this appearance is clearly Diao Min who has been taught repeatedly!

For officials, the most hated is Diao Min!

"Bold...... Cough! Yuan Highway shouted, but when he found that his arm had been ripped off, he turned around and realized that it was Brother Qian who was glaring at him.

Yuan Highway Zhilu said that his friend Wencai and poetry are all the choice of the moment, and he is also alert and wise. Although he didn't know his true intentions for a while, Yuan Highway had been an official for a few years, and he had already learned how to suck in and swallow back what he spit out - this was originally a talent shared by all officials at home and abroad throughout the ages.

"Bold, what do you mean, don't tell everyone yet, do you have to wait for this official to say it for you?" Yuan Highway coughed and continued.

Ye Chang said with a smile: "Go down to know your mistakes, go down to point out who is punished by the Bodhisattva, who is a real thief." ”

Then he led Yuan Highway to the front yard, pointed to one of the twelve people standing in the middle and said, "It's you, don't you quickly confess to the master of Shaofu, how you stole the property, and who instructed it!" ”
