Chapter 8: Handprints
Like Chen Xiaodonkey, Cao Hou didn't worry about Zhang Hu's side going wrong at all, after all, it was useless!
In fact, although the three of them are dominated by Chen Xiaodonkey, Cao Hou has always felt that the most capable of the three is Zhang Hut, and the little donkey is just the smartest brain, and it is very powerful to cheat and deceive people. As for his understanding of feng shui very well, isn't that just nonsense to deceive those big dogs, and his Uncle Cao can read two books casually, and he can also talk about it.
Things were arranged, and Chen Xiaodonkey left Cao Hou's place, and he was really relieved.
Next, just observe the reaction of the Li family step by step, and wait for the other party to take the bait. But in addition to this, his heart inevitably became a little heavier, and in just a few days, troubles came one after another, making him a little doubtful that he was a prisoner of Tai Sui.
Why don't you go to Jing'an Temple to worship the Bodhisattva and donate some sesame oil money for the Bodhisattva to break it for himself? On the way back to the city, Chen Xiaodonkey suddenly thought. Then I began to think about how much sesame oil money is more appropriate, too little Bodhisattva can't look at it, that's throwing it away for nothing, but if you give more, what amount can you ensure that it's just right, and you won't lose money?
The sun is the most poisonous at noon in the scorching heat, and the water in the Huangpu River is hot.
When Chen Xiaodonkey returned to the alley, his clothes were already soaked. I changed my clothes and planned to shrink into the house at noon to escape the heat, but I didn't expect that not long after I lay down, there was a knock on the door.
It was Zhao Nansong's people who came, told Chen Xiaodonkey that Boss Zhao was summoned, and drove Chen Xiaodonkey to Zhao Nansong's mansion as fast as possible.
Seeing Zhao Nansong, who was enjoying ice cubes and electric fans, Chen Xiaodonkey was confused and said, "Boss Zhao, didn't you just meet me last night, what is the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" ”
"It's not me looking for you." Zhao Nansong dropped his sentence, waved his hand and called his housekeeper over, and asked Chen Xiaodonkey to follow.
Chen Xiaodonkey was even more confused, not knowing what the other party meant.
However, this doubt was quickly solved, and the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion took him to the locked courtyard, and on the way he said the reason, it was Zhang Wat's blind master who wanted to see him. As for why the blind old man said that he wanted to see Chen Xiaodonkey, and after his master met with the other party, he actually agreed, and the old housekeeper was also surprised in his heart, he had never seen his own master talk so well.
"Brother Chen, please."
Compared with last night, the housekeeper's attitude was much more polite, and he asked Chen Xiaodonkey to open the courtyard door and go in, and he was guarding outside.
After greeting Cao's mother, who was enjoying the shade under the shade of the trees in the courtyard and looking worried, Chen Xiaodonkey knocked on the door with a stomach full of doubts, and entered the old blind man's house, which was closed tightly and looked a little dim.
"Fifth Master, are you looking for me?" Closing the door, Chen Xiaodonkey looked at each other, his voice puzzled.
The old blind man sat neatly behind the table in black clothes, his face was deeply wrinkled, and a pair of eyes with only the whites of his eyes and no eyes looked a little weird.
As for why he called the fifth master, what is the saying in this, Chen Xiaodonkey didn't know, but when they met for the first time, they didn't know what to call it, so the old man asked him and Cao Hou to shout like this.
The old blind man nodded slightly, without greetings, and asked directly, "Boy Chen, do you know why I called you over?" ”
Nonsense, how do I know that? Chen Xiaodonkey rolled his eyes. But knowing that the old man had a strange temper, he guessed and said, "Uh---- do you want to ask if you want to use it?" He's fine, it won't be long before you can go back, Fifth Master, I'm really sorry to hurt you until you're old this time. ”
"Involved?" The old blind man let out a very strange laugh, like a night owl howling, and then suddenly closed his voice, and said, "Little baby doesn't know how thick the sky is, let's see what is on your shoulder first!" ”
What?
Chen Xiaodonkey was stunned for a moment, and ripped off his collar to look at his shoulder.
There was nothing ---- his right shoulder, but when he pulled the collar on his left shoulder, his eyelids jumped fiercely, and on his left shoulder, there was a blue-black handprint!
What's going on?
Chen Xiaodonkey was frightened, and after his mind changed sharply, he immediately thought of yesterday morning, when that 'Zhang Hu' pulled himself back, he grabbed his left shoulder.
"This ----"
"Don't do this, is there a handprint?"
Chen Xiaodonkey nodded yes, and then said in disbelief: "Fifth Master, how do you know?" ”
The old blind man laughed strangely: "When you came over last night, there was an evil man who followed you very closely, so I ignored you, for fear of startling him and making you unable to survive last night!" ”
After a pause, the old blind man suddenly said sharply: "But you have a catastrophe tonight!" It's a ghost mark on your shoulder, and the person who has been marked won't live to the third day, and he'll definitely come and kill you tonight!" ”
Zhang Wat is not a person who can open his mouth, and Zhang Wuye, the old blind man who is Zhang Wat's master, has no need to lie to him, so Chen Xiaodonkey was shocked. He suddenly thought that he seemed to have had a dream last night, and in the dream, someone had been calling his big name Chen Zhibai, like a conjuring spirit.
Chen Xiaodonkey was frightened and said, "Fifth Master, then what should I do?" ”
The old blind man said: "This is also the reason why I came to you today, I am blind and can't help you, but I can recommend someone to you, you go to him, if he is willing to make a move, you should be able to pass safely tonight." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey immediately asked, "Who?" ”
"There is a small temple in Puwan Town, north of the city, called Zhenfa Temple, you go there to find a monk named Juehong and tell him about the ghost mark you have been left behind. Remember, go right out of this door, and be sure to get there before dark, otherwise, you might get lost. ”
Getting lost is a euphemism, a warning to him that he will encounter the kind of evil thing that he can't get around no matter how he walks in one place.
When he came, he was full of doubts, and when he left, he was so frightened that Chen Xiaodonkey didn't even have time to think about anything else, so he asked the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion where the place called Puwan Town was, and hurried over there.
It's not that he didn't want to borrow a car from Zhao Nansong and Boss Zhao, which is faster, but Zhao Nansong has already gone out to discuss business, and the old housekeeper didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he asked someone to push a bicycle.
The sun was very poisonous, but Chen Xiaodonkey couldn't feel the heat anymore, and even swished up from the soles of his feet. He rode his bicycle in the direction the old housekeeper said, and inquired all the way, but Shanghai was really big, and by the time he arrived in Puwan Town, the sun was not far from setting.
"Uncle, I'll ask you something, isn't there a True Dharma Temple here, how do you go?"
Stopping a villager on the road carrying a hoe, obviously returning home after going down to the field, Chen Xiaodonkey handed over a cigarette and asked eagerly for directions again
"True Law Temple? Young man, the sun is about to set, what are you doing over there? Let's go back quickly, I'm going to go over there and come back tomorrow. When the uncle heard the name Zhenfa Temple, his expression changed significantly, but for the sake of cigarettes, he still persuaded him.
But how can Chen Xiaodonkey take care of this? said anxiously: "I have something urgent to go over there, especially urgent, uncle, just show the way!" ”
"I mean, you young dolls, what's the matter?" The uncle seemed a little helpless, but he couldn't resist Chen Xiaodonkey's request, and finally pointed in the direction helplessly, and said: "Keep going, you will see a path further north, from that path all the way forward, to the end is Lao Jiang Road, Zhenfa Temple is in Lao Jiang Road, you can only see it when you arrive." ”
Chen Xiaodonkey thanked him, pedaled the wheels frantically, and finally saw the small temple surrounded by red paint when the sun was halfway down.
It's in a long, dry stretch of water, but the temple gate is closed.
Chen Xiaodonkey threw his bicycle on the side of the road, followed the path stepped by a person, rushed to the door with the plaque of 'Zhenfa Temple' as fast as he could, and knocked on the door.
Creak!
A moment later, the temple door opened a crack, and a skinny, bald head peeked out of it.
Chen Xiaodonkey looked fixedly, he was a half-old monk with kind eyebrows.
It seemed that he didn't expect that the knock on the door would be a young man, the old monk was slightly stunned, and said: "Little donor, let's go, the temple door is closed, and I want to burn incense and come back tomorrow." With that, he prepared to close the door.
Chen Xiaodonkey hurriedly held the door and said, "Master, wait, I'm not here to burn incense, I'm here to find someone, to find Master Juehong." ”
"Kakuhiro?" The old monk looked surprised, paused slightly, and saw that Chen Xiaodonkey nodded hurriedly, so he looked at him again and said, "What is the little donkey looking for him?" ”
"It's urgent, it's urgent!" Chen Xiaodonkey wanted to deal with the past vaguely, but when he said this, the old monk immediately closed the door again, so he could only say: "I have a mark on my body, and an elder said that I may not survive tonight, let me come to Master Juehong to save my life!" Master, will you let me in first? ”
