Chapter 233: The Lights That Go Out

Regulatory Department.

Monk Jingyi had just closed his eyes and recited a lot of scriptures, and his elbows were a little sore when he kept knocking on the wooden fish in his hands. Seeing that there was no one on the side of the Supervision Department, his hands and the scriptures in his mouth stopped.

After moving his body slightly, the Jingyi monk muttered, "Damn, I'm tired of Lao Tzu." That kid shouldn't be here for a while, and he can finally rest for a while. ”

As he spoke, the monk took out a cigarette from the monk's robe, lit it with the flame of the lotus lamp, and smoked it with his mouth. He had just continued to recite the scriptures, and he himself felt tired and his mouth was dry. And because it was night, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, so the hazy sleepiness began to drill into the body.

Fortunately, as the smoke penetrated into the lungs, the effect of nicotine was revealed. His hairy eyes brightened a little. Monk Jingyi simply stood up from the ground and stepped out of the lantern circle surrounded by lotus lanterns.

Smoking a cigarette, he wandered around the Supervision Department.

Look here, rummage through there, and don't find it interesting.

Instead, he found a chair and sat up. He has done a lot of this kind of idle thing, and when he used to help people drive away the "evil spirit", he would take people away, so basically no one knew what he was doing as a fake monk.

Sometimes, he sleeps all night. When I woke up, I pretended to recite the scriptures for a while the next day, and the knocking on the wooden fish was over. After that, you can just take the money and leave.

Therefore, he has long been accustomed to this kind of thing.

In fact, before the Jingyi monk, he was a farmer with a poor family background and relied on farming for a living. One year, there was a flood in my hometown, which flooded the farmland and everything, and the crops were lost.

So the monk left his hometown and came to the city.

After arriving in the city, he had no money and was unwilling to find a job, so he had to pick up garbage every day to make a living. This mix has been in the city for half a year. One day, for some reason, he got sick. But what if you don't have the money to see a doctor?

He thought about it and wanted to know that there was a temple nearby, so he went over and asked the monks in the temple for help. The monk found him crying and screaming, lying at the gate of the temple. was also afraid of affecting the livelihood in the temple, so the monks arranged a place for him to live, and also found a doctor to treat him.

In this way, he stayed in the temple for a month, and his illness was all cured. At that time, he felt that it was also very good in the temple, and there were monks serving him every day, and he was pampered and quite comfortable.

So even though he was cured, he stayed in the temple for two months.

Two months later, the abbot of the temple found out that he had stolen the incense money from the temple, and used the incense money to buy roast chicken and roast duck and other things to eat in the monk's room.

This incident made the abbot very annoyed, and directly arranged for the monks to drive him out of the temple.

When he was kicked out of the temple, he felt that those monks were not kind at all, and they simply looked down on him. And because the stolen incense money and everything were all stolen, there was nothing on him, so he had crooked thoughts again.

A week after he left the temple, he secretly returned to the temple at night.

At that time, the monk guarding the temple gate was asleep, so he was not found. As for him, he first sneaked into the monk's room where daily necessities were kept, set a fire, and then, while the monks in the temple were busy putting out the fire, he himself went to the abbot's meditation room.

The abbot was already in his seventies, how could he be his opponent. He threatened the abbot with a knife and told him to hand over all the money for the incense. The abbot had no choice, so he gave him the money for the incense.

At that time, the money was hidden by the abbot in a wooden box under the bedboard.

When he opened the wooden box, he found that there were hundreds of thousands of red tickets inside. So after knocking the abbot unconscious, he disguised himself as a monk and secretly fled the temple. It stands to reason that he should have been found, but at that time the fire in the temple was very strong, and he shaved his head again, so he was not found.

With money on his body, his life has also become nourished, and he is a big fish and meat every day, going in and out of various places. Life seems to have become more colorful. But soon, he found that in the big city, the little money in his hand was not worth mentioning at all.

What's more, under his profligacy, hundreds of thousands will soon be left. As a result, the heart of the "pure monk" became extremely anxious. In the end, he came up with a way to pretend to be a fake monk to help people do things to ward off evil spirits.

With this thought, he put it into action. He has monk's robes and other things, and the magic weapons are all made by him from various temples at his expense.

Not to mention, under his own packaging for himself, he soon ushered in the first "business".

This business is to give an old lady who died from a large family to the undead, and the offering he obtained from it is as much as 100,000 yuan. And the ritual has only been done for two days, which makes the "Jingyi Monk" see the sweetness. So he used the 100,000 yuan in his hand to publicize himself.

And the effect of the publicity is still very good.

In less than half a year, he had already performed more than a dozen rituals for people. During this period, he has always been peaceful, which also makes him feel more and more that as long as he is his own "monk", he will not be able to fly in the future.

It can be said that he is quite prosperous in Lujiang City.

******

At this time, the cigarette in the hand of the monk Jingyi was only the butt of the cigarette, and he threw the cigarette butt on the ground casually. Then, after getting up, he prepared to go to the Lianhu lamp to sleep for a while.

He, he has already practiced the ability to fall asleep while sitting, even if he is discovered by others, he can be justified by being sloppy.

But just as Monk Jingyi was about to walk up to the lotus lamp, suddenly the incandescent lamp above his head flashed.

Then, with a "click", the window on the south side of the supervision department was blown open by a wind, and the sound was quite loud.

When the wind blew into the room, a biting cold made Monk Jingyi shiver a little. The flames on the lotus lantern were also swayed by the wind, and even a few flames were extinguished by the wind.

"Grandma's, why is it suddenly windy?" Monk Jingyi muttered.

And the incandescent lights above the head flickered a few times, and then they went out one after another.

Suddenly, this side of the house became dark, but fortunately, the lotus lantern on the ground could barely illuminate.

And this sudden change made Monk Jingyi feel very unsteady in his heart. It's not that he hasn't encountered strange things. Once, when a rich man's child drowned in his swimming pool, he helped to do it.

What I didn't expect was that he fell asleep during the practice.

When he woke up the next day, he found that his heart was on fire, and when he opened his monk's robe, he found that he didn't know when there was a small black handprint on his chest.

When he saw the handprint, he realized that it was not good.

But he still didn't believe in ghosts, and thought he had some kind of skin disease. So after doing the Dharma on the same day and taking the money, he found a small clinic to see a doctor. I took a lot of medicine, but it didn't get better.

After three days, he was lying on the bed, not wanting to move, and the whole person lost weight.

On the fourth day, his stomach began to stir, and when he entered the toilet, he had diarrhea. This squat, I squatted in the toilet for two hours.

Two hours later, he began to sweat all over, his face was pale, and his whole person was as empty as if he had a dozen women in one night. To his horror, his excrement was black and viscous.

But he didn't think much about it at the time, and lay down in bed and fell into a faint coma. By the time he woke up, it was already the next night.

After waking up, he found that the strength in his body seemed to have returned a lot, and the black handprint on his heart was gone.

And at that time, his stomach was rumbling and he was so hungry that he couldn't do it.

So he ate a lot of food and drank a lot of water that night. The next day, all his problems were gone. At that time, the "Jingyi Monk" also thought of the drowned child from the black handprint, but he felt that it was very unrealistic.

So, after a few days, he completely forgot about this matter and started his "business" again.

And now, the sudden abnormality in the supervision department made Monk Jingyi feel very uncomfortable.

He also deliberately looked at the sky outside just now, the sky was full of stars, it was very quiet, and there was not even a trace of wind. But now the wind suddenly blew.

After thinking about it, the pure monk said in his heart not to scare himself. So he straightened his chest and walked over to the window, trying to close it.

But when he walked to the window, he saw a dark figure standing behind him through the reflection on the glass of the window.

So, in vain, he turned his head and looked behind him.

But the back was empty, nothing.

His eyebrows furrowed slowly, and after closing the window, Monk Jingyi looked around at the entire Supervision Department. But it's black and mushy, and he can't see it very clearly.

However, the uncomfortable feeling made him feel more and more uneasy.

At this time, there was a "squeak" and a sound.

It seems to be the sound of a chair moving.

The voice was particularly clear in the quiet, cold room. In an instant, Monk Joichi's heart beat wildly, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

He hurriedly took out the Buddha beads from his pocket, and while his fingers pulled the Buddha beads, he chanted the "Diamond Sutra" in his mouth.

He memorized the other scriptures indiscriminately, so to speak, the donkey's lips were not the horse's mouth. But the layman couldn't hear it, but this Diamond Sutra was the only one he got from the wooden box under the abbot's bed.

And when the abbot saw that he had taken the Diamond Sutra, he was quite concerned.

So the monk Jingyi pondered, maybe this Diamond Sutra is a good thing. Because of this thought, he memorized all the contents of the Diamond Sutra.

Fortunately, he has a good memory, otherwise, he really can't remember.

It was only after reciting a few paragraphs of the Diamond Sutra that the uncomfortable feeling in his heart was alleviated a lot.

Then, following the sound, Monk Joichi slowly walked towards the west. When he walked to a row of desks, he was in front of a desk and really found a dark shadow.

It seems to be a person. To be precise, the black shadow was sitting on a chair, with his back to Monk Joichi.

Monk Joichi had a good memory, and he remembered that the seat seemed to be the kid's......

So his face changed cold, and he shouted at the person in the seat, "Master Qin, what do you want to do?" Could it be that you want to pretend to be a ghost and scare the poor monks? ... But the poor monk told you that I have been practicing the Dharma for many years, and my mind has long been strong, how can I be frightened by such a little trick of yours!! ”
