Volume 2: Chapter 31 of the Hundred Generations of Practice
The white cat is dead.
The hunter went down.
Liufeng and Chang Ming helped the abbot back to the temple.
A group of monks followed without saying a word.
There were monks whispering in the back.
Back at the temple, the abbot was not lightly injured and had to recuperate for a few days.
But the abbot gathered everyone together: "As you can see, today I have done a wrong thing. β
And they bowed their heads, but they were silent.
"It's a mistake to be an enemy of a monster who has created a slain monster."
"For the sake of that monster, I almost ruined the reputation of Kuhai Temple, which is two mistakes."
"I killed that monster with my own hands and caused a slain...... I have known her for more than 20 years...... These are the three mistakes. β
The abbot's face turned pale: "Sin, sin, sin." I have made many mistakes, the Buddha's heart has been broken, and I am no longer qualified to be the abbot of Kuhai Temple......"
"Abbot!" Chang Ming said in a low voice, "You recuperate first." β
"Nope." The abbot squeezed out a smile vigorously, "Let's get down to business first." β
"Stay in the wind!" Chang Ming shouted.
"Yes."
"Lingering in the wind...... Extraordinary qualifications......" the abbot said, "Now, in the name of the abbot, I order you to go out of the temple to practice!" β
"Huh?" Liufeng was a little puzzled, but he still said, "Then when will I come back." β
Chang Ming said loudly: "This is a tradition left by the previous abbot, you need to find something, find it, and naturally you can come back." β
"What's that?"
"West Heaven...... The ......" the abbot struggled to spit out a few words, "Buddha heart!" β
"Western Heavenly Buddha Heart?" Liufeng frowned, "What is it, I've never heard of it......"
"The West Heaven is the abode of the gods and Buddhas." Chang Mingdao.
"When you go to the West Heaven, you will naturally know." Abbot Road.
"Yes." Liufeng nodded slightly.
"Next, I declare...... Chang Ming...... Succeeding the abbot of Kuhai Temple, a ......"
"Yes!"
Liufeng's memory of Kuhai Temple ends here.
He didn't know how the abbot's injuries were healing, and he didn't know what had become of Kuhai Temple under the management of Senior Brother Changming.
He was very worried about them, so he wanted to hurry up to the Western Heaven and find the Western Heaven Buddha Heart.
But he forgot to ask, Xitian, how long will it take to go west......
But he thought, "Anyway, I've been going west, and I've always been able to reach the west." β
So he hit the road.
He traveled rain and rain, day and night.
Rainy night.
There was a knock on the door of a farmhouse.
The farmer cautiously leaned on the crack in the door and looked out.
Outside the door was a tall white figure, wearing a hat, standing straight.
"Donor. Poor monks came from the Kuhai Temple in the East and went to the West to seek the Buddha's heart. Passing by the treasure land, the sky is not good, it is difficult to move forward, can it be convenient. β
"Hmm. It's a passing monk! "It's an old voice.
"Then let him in. It's raining heavily outside......"
"What if it's a youkai who changes?"
"When did you see a monster dare to become a monk?"
"That's ...... too"
Then the latch of the door struck, and the door opened slowly.
The monk outside the door raised his head, and the candlelight in the room illuminated his faceβit was a small monk with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Donor." Liufeng saluted respectfully.
"Little master, please take a seat."
This is an old couple. They prepared some fasting meals for Liufeng.
After Liufeng ate, he talked to them and said, "I heard from the two old men just now, is there a monster here?" β
"Ouch!" The old man shook his head, "Why don't we have it here! Where in the world is there no monsters! β
"Oh?" Liufeng became interested, "Is the demon plague in the world so serious?" β
"Alas, it was fine before! In the past, the monsters were all managed by the demon world! The demon king of the demon world is a big tree, and he doesn't let the monsters come to the world to cause trouble. β
"Ahh Liufeng praised, "This is a good thing, the two worlds of demons do not interfere with each other." β
"That was before!" The old man sighed.
"What's going on now?"
"It is said that the monsters in the demon world are not convinced by the old demon king! The demon world is in a civil war! There are many youkai who take advantage of the opportunity to run into the world and cause trouble......"
"Oh!" Liufeng nodded, "It's a pity. β
"That's it!" The old man was indignant, "At the beginning, the two worlds of human and ladyboy coexisted peacefully for a long time! β
"That's right! At the beginning, the old demon king also released the news, and human beings can enter and exit the demon world with confidence! β
"Now! The world is messed up! The old demon king probably can't control so many little monsters! Those little monsters come to the world all day long and make a mess of the world! β
"Alas! I don't know when such days will end. β
Liufeng doesn't hate monsters, because of the white cat, he even has a special feeling for monsters. But he knows the image of youkai in the human heart.
But the people here, or just the old couple, don't have too much hatred for youkai.
Between the lines, they all express regret for the children who have gone astray.
In other words, it's just a pity that these monsters didn't obey the old demon king's discipline and came to the world to do something wrong.
It can be seen that they have deep respect for the legendary "demon king".
And not just them?
I heard that there is such a sensible and generous demon king, and even Liufeng can't help but want to see it!
But the old man said: "Now, the world is very chaotic, and the demon world is even more chaotic!" I can't go, I can't go! β
"Ahh Liufeng smiled, "I want to see it." β
"Huh!" The old man said, "Don't be rash, young man! Are youkai easy to mess with? β
"It doesn't matter." Liufeng smiled, "It's just right, I won't eat your meal in vain, I'll go and beat your monsters away." β
"No kidding." The old couple waved their hands again and again, "This monster! Fierce! Not only eat livestock, but also hurt people! β
"Eating livestock? What is a youkai? β
"Old Yellow Skin...... It is said that there are hundreds of years of Taoism! β
"Oh." Liufeng nodded, "Weasel." β
The old man's cottage didn't have extra rooms, so he lay down on the table and took a nap.
The next day, as soon as the rooster crowed, Liufeng opened his eyes, stood up and moved his muscles.
"It's time to catch the youkai." Before the old couple got up, Liufeng opened the door and walked out.
It is a small village, built in a mountain forest surrounded by mountains. A wide road runs from this hill to the opposite hill, passing through the village and dividing it in half.
The monk looked at the mountains around him, and inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity.
It's like I've lived here......
But he obviously stayed in Kuhai Temple since he was a child.
So Liufeng shook his head: "Catch monsters!" Let's go catch the youkai first! β
That weasel wasn't hard to find.
Liufeng turned around a little in the mountains and forests, and then smelled a demonic aura in a dark corner...... and the characteristic taste of weasel......
Liufeng squatted at the entrance of the cave and looked inside curiously.
There's a pair of green eyes inside!
Liufeng took a step back, and there was a strange sound in the cave, and a figure rushed out like a sharp sword.
Stay in the wind and dodge sideways.
The little weasel rolled its small eyes, not knowing what bad idea it was thinking.
It can feel that Liufeng is a very strong person.
So it jerked backwards.
Liufeng smiled slightly, and took the weasel back!
The majestic aura made the weasel unable to move.
So the weasel turned into a thin old man in yellow, smiling at Liufeng with a thief's eyebrows.
"Master spare your life! I...... I haven't killed anyone, I only eat chicken! Eat only chicken! β
"There is a punishment for killing people, and there is a punishment for eating chickens." Leave the air duct.
"But it's only natural for weasels to eat chickens!"
"You're not right to steal someone's chicken." Leave the air duct.
"......," the weasel said bitterly, "the weasel is going to steal chickens!" Do you want me to raise chickens myself? β
"I'll hand you over to the villagers and let them dispose of it!"
"Huh! Don't don't, don't! They're going to kill me! The weasel said hurriedly, "This will cause a big deal!" β
"Oh? What could happen? β
"I'm a chicken-eating monster, you're going to kill me, if there is a man-eating monster, wouldn't these villagers be more dangerous? You can't protect their village for the rest of your life, can you? Hey, hey, hey......"
"Hmm......" Liufeng thought for a moment, "It seems to make some sense." β
"Then you, promise me three things, and I will spare your life!"
"Ouch! As much as you want! You say what you say! β
"First, you have to protect the villagers and not let them be harmed."
"Okay, okay!"
"Second, don't steal chickens anymore."
"Huh?" The weasel grimaced.
"You go and talk to the villagers and send you a chicken every three days."
"Huh! This is good! Ok Ok! β
"Third." Liufeng paused, "Take me to the demon world." β
The weasel said, "Didn't you say spare my life?" Why are you still taking me to death? β
"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't agree, I'll let you die now."
"Eh, okay, okay." The weasel grimaced.
"Master, it's chaos in the demon world, do you want to go to my house first, and I'll tell you in detail?" The weasel laughed.
Liufeng looked at the dirt bag: "This is ...... Grave, right? Do you make a nest out of someone else's grave? β
"Ahh It's all the same. The weasel said, "When a person dies, the soul is gone, and only a pile of loess remains...... I'm too lazy to dig my own hole. β
"How long have you been here?"
"It's been hundreds of years."
"Do you know who's buried here?" Liufeng didn't know what to ask this question for himself, but that familiar feeling came out of his heart again.
"This grave is the ancestor of the old couple at the entrance of the village! When they came to worship, they shouted by ...... Call...... Immortal ......"
"Oh."
Liufeng thought about it, and he really hadn't heard of this name.
