Chapter 19 Wuzhai Conspiracy

Wuzhai refers to five villages. They are Bosa Village, Yuanjue Village, Bodhi Village, Deva Village, Manshu Village.

These five villages were originally a big village, just because the five gods and monks fought demons a hundred years ago, the government divided the big village into five, and divided it into five gods and monks to protect and take charge. Because the five great monks drove away the demons and saved tens of thousands of villagers, the five monks in charge of the five villages were warmly welcomed by the villagers from the very beginning.

Since then, five villages have been formed, and each village has its own living Buddha system passed down from generation to generation. They are the ancestors of the living Buddha of Bosa Village, the Jinguan Living Buddha of Yuanjue Village, the Qinghui Living Buddha of Bodhi Zhai, the Shengtian Living Buddha of Deva Village, and the Xuanxiu Living Buddha of Manshu Village.

However, from the very beginning, there was a vacancy in these five living Buddhas, and that was the first living Buddha of the five great gods and monks who exchanged his life for victory in the final battle with the demons. Therefore, the first generation of the first generation of the living Buddha was not directly in charge of the village, but directly by the second generation of the living Buddha.

This second generation of the living Buddha is the reincarnation of the other four living Buddhas selected from the village according to the signs of the first generation of the first generation of the living Buddha when he was dying, when the second generation of the living Buddha was only five years old and did not know how to deal with people. So the people in the village elected a person who thought they were highly respected to be in charge of the affairs of the village, and the final election was Zhong Qi, the old hunter in the village. This Zhong Qi is the ancestor of Anan and Azi. At that time, the people in the village called Zhong Qi the living Buddha of the palm print, which means acting as the living Buddha's affairs. But after a long time, I was afraid that it would be confused with the real living Buddha, so I changed my name to the owner of the village.

Later, the second generation of ancestors grew up and became the leader of the village in the real sense, but he regarded Zhong Qi as a teacher, so he let Zhong Qi continue to be the owner of the village and take charge of the affairs of the village, and he devoted himself to practicing martial arts Buddhism. In this way, the government of the village is well connected and people live and work in peace and contentment. The other four villages have also followed suit, setting up each village owner to take charge of specific affairs in the village. Since then, the five living Buddhas have put all their minds into cultivation and become the spiritual leaders of Wuzhai.

For hundreds of years, the relationship between the living Buddha and the owner of the village has always been close and intimate. In fact, in Wuzhai, not only the five living Buddhas have been passed down from generation to generation, but also Taoism, witches and other inheritance systems. The inheritance of these systems is only the inheritance of skills and spells, but there is no blood relationship between each generation.

But in addition, there are two generational inheritance systems in Wuzhai, which are related by blood. One is the Xinyou Boy, which has been passed down from generation to generation by Orion surnamed Xiao, and it is also a fixed system. In addition, there is a system that should not be fixed, but it has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, that is, the family surnamed Zhong, the owner of Bosa Village, that is, the descendants of Zhong Qi.

The people of Wuzhai have admiration and worship for the living Buddha from the bottom of their hearts. Although as the owner of the village, he can manage everything in the village, and he also has a very high prestige in the village. However, in the hearts of the villagers, the living Buddha is a god, and the owner of the village is just a person. No matter when and where, the owner of the village can only worship the living Buddha.

Zhong Weiman, the owner of the village, is a very talented person, not only made a great contribution to the villagers in the position of the owner of the village, but even trained his cousin Zhong Wei'an to become the owner of Manshu Village. Since then, there have been two village owners, which has been a great joy for the Zhong family for hundreds of years.

Originally, Zhong Weiman got along very well with the living Buddha of the ancestors. This is the previous generation of living Buddhas, not the little boy as mentioned earlier. The first living Buddha is more than ten years older than Zhong Weiman, this ancestor is upright, Buddhism is profound, and Zhong Weiman has been chasing idols since childhood.

However, the calamity struck suddenly, and the First Living Buddha was killed by the Hundred Bird Little Lords who were liberated from the Nine Heavens. The first living Buddha suddenly became a little boy peeing everywhere from an idol of his own, and Zhong Weiman was really heartbroken. What's even more sad is that this little boy was too naughty and slapped the bell in front of the villagers. Although everyone and him were smiling on the surface, hatred had gradually developed in Zhong Weiman's heart.

I want my Zhong family to take care of the village for hundreds of years, and in the end, no matter how good it is, it will always be a head shorter than the living Buddha. If the old ancestors respected the living Buddha, it would be enough, and now the so-called reincarnated spirit child has not dried up, but it can still receive the love of the majority of villagers. Can that little boy do something that will benefit the village? The more Zhong Weiman thought about it, the more angry he became.

The next day, Zhong Wei's anger was still gone, so he came to Manshu Village to find his cousin Zhong Wei'an to drink. When the two were half-drunk, they opened up to each other. Zhong Wei'an, the owner of Manshu Village, heard his cousin talk about the Living Buddha, and couldn't help but pat the table and say: "What the eldest brother said is right, since the death of the last generation of Living Buddhas in my village, I have also suffered a lot of anger from that kid." ”

Zhong Weiman said: "You mean the new generation of Xuanxiu? I think he is crepe, so I shouldn't offend you. ”

Zhong Wei'an said: "Don't look at him with a bookish face, he is more broken than the old lady, he has thought about asking almost everything, looking at him like that, it seems that he wants to take away my life as the owner of the village." Big brother, this is the first time I have been the owner of the village, and I have always been conscientious and have a clear conscience, but the villagers don't support me? But I have to be controlled by that kid, and there is suffering!"

Zhong Weiman poured a large bowl of wine and drank it all. Suddenly, Zhong Weiman said: "It's better for us to be living Buddhas ourselves!"

Zhong Wei'an was so frightened when he heard this that he almost fell off the stool. "Big brother! You've drunk too much!"

Zhong Weiman smiled and said, "You also know that eldest brother I am massive, I definitely didn't drink too much, this matter is forced here, and I have no choice but to do it." ”

Zhong Wei'an immediately closed the door and said, "Big brother, who doesn't want to say what is in my heart, I want to too, but can we fight those living Buddhas?" They are all so wicked, besides, the villagers will definitely not be able to do it!"

Zhong Weiman said happily: "Brother, you are stupid! How can you do this openly, brother, listen to me, as long as we can unite the owners of the five villages, we will work together, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to defeat those stinky monks!"

The two talked until the evening, and after the discussion, they decided to lobby the owners of the other three villages separately.

Attacking anything must start with the weakest link, and Zhong Weiman, the owner of the village, first came to the home of Chen Yaozong, the owner of Yuanjue Village.

This Chen Yaozong is the same age as Zhong Wei, the difference is that this person made a lot of achievements for the village when he was young, but after he reached middle age, his personality gradually changed greatly, and there were not a few things about jealousy and jealousy to suppress the younger generations, but the people in the village still let him serve as the owner of the village because they had received Chen Yaozong's favor before, which can be regarded as a person who eats his old book.

This line of Zhong chose him first, which can be said to have found the right person. After Zhong Weiman entered the door, he exchanged a few words, then pulled Chen Yaozong to a secluded place and went straight in, talking about his dissatisfaction with the five living Buddhas. Chen Yaozong slapped his thigh after hearing this, and then became a bosom friend. It turned out that Chen Yaozong was also dissatisfied with Jinguan's prestige being much higher than himself, and he always wanted to find trouble on weekdays. But Master Jin Guan is generous and never cares about him, so he can't fight.

Today, as soon as I heard that Zhong Weiman was like-minded, he immediately made an alliance with blood, and swore to Zhong Weiman as a brother, vowing to eradicate the five living Buddhas.

Zhong Weifu is finished, and then the owner of Manshu Village, Zhong Weian. Zhong Wei'an came to Deva Village. He often heard that the Living Buddha Shengtian of Deva Village was cold and arrogant, and was not very close to the people. The name of the owner of Deva Village is Liu Xin, who is about the same age as Shengtian, less than fifty years old this year.

Liu Xin saw Zhong Wei'an coming to visit, and hurriedly treated him as an elder. Zhong Wei'an also followed the plan and drank with Liu Xin alone. On the wine table, Zhong Wei'an deliberately complained about the wine, but he didn't expect that Liu Xin would respond enthusiastically, and he looked magnificent. Liu Xindao: "If you want to say that the holy heaven I have long been blind, relying on the identity of the living Buddha, he never speaks directly to me, if I don't take care of the affairs of the village, can his living Buddha be so happy?" If he doesn't have anything to eat, I'll see how he can live!"

Zhong Wei was secretly happy in peace of mind, this time it can be regarded as a great success!

In this way, four of the five village owners have been connected, and only Xin Yi, the owner of Bodhi Village, remains. This person is upright and brave, and has a close relationship with the Living Buddha. Therefore, Zhong Weiman gathered the four village owners in advance to discuss secretly.

Zhong Weiman, the owner of the village, said: "Xin Yi, the master of the Bodhi village, is different from us, he is a Buddhist disciple, and he is also a so-called lay disciple, and letting him rebel against the water is equivalent to letting him deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors. ”

Zhong Wei'an said: "Why don't we slaughter him first?"

Zhong Weiman said with a smile: "That will only startle the grass and the snake, I have a plan, Guan Bao that Xin Yi will disappear together with the Qinghui Living Buddha of Bodhi Village!"

At noon on this day, suddenly the main bell of the village visited the temple, and Master Qinghui went out to greet him. The two met quite affectionately, and Qinghui invited Zhong Weiman to eat fast, and they talked together.

Zhong Weiman said: "Recently, a family in my village built a new house, and as a result, a huge stone slab was dug out of the ground, three meters square, weighing hundreds of catties, and I couldn't understand all the text patterns on it. You also know that the previous generation of the living Buddha passed away a few days ago, and now there is really no one in the village who can read the meaning of this stone tablet, and I don't know whether it is good or evil. Master Su Zhi Qinghui has the most research on Buddhist scriptures and writing, so I would like to invite you to the village to see what the meaning of the text patterns on this stone slab is. ”

Qinghui smiled: "The owner of the village is too polite, and at the same time he looks down on the old monk too much, since the owner of the village does not dislike it, then the old man will go with the owner of the village, try to take a look at this stone slab." ”

Zhong Weifu thanked him repeatedly, and the two got up and rushed to the village. Master Qinghui arrived at the village, looked at the stone slab, the patterns and words on it are strange and disorderly, after looking at it for a long time, Qinghui shook his head and said: "The owner of the village, the old man really can't understand the mystery, this time I can't help you." ”

Zhong Weiman smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it seems that there may not be any words on this slate, just a few patterns, it's me who thinks too much." ”

Master Qinghui turned around to say goodbye, and Zhong Weiman said: "Master, it's getting late, wait until you're done eating!" Qinghui couldn't refuse, so she had to stay in the village for dinner.

But Qinghui didn't expect that this was Zhong Weiman's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the slate was also deliberately fabricated by Zhong Weiman. At this time, there was also a guest at the home of Xin Yi, the owner of Bodhi Village, who was Zhong Weiman's cousin, Zhong Wei'an, the owner of Manshu Village. Xin Yi is warm and bold, and he is warm and welcoming when he sees Zhong Wei'an's arrival. At the dinner table, the two of them drank happily.

Zhong Wei'an said: "Today I came to ask the eldest brother to help me see a thing, I heard that the eldest brother is good at using knives, and he also has a lot of research on knives, recently I accidentally got an ancient knife, this knife is dazzling, sharpening iron like clay, it must be a treasure, but I have little knowledge, narrow vision, I don't know the origin of this knife, and I don't know what the name of this knife is, please help me take a look." ”

Xin Yi laughed and said, "Okay, show it to me!"

Zhong Wei'an, the owner of Manshu Village, went to the house of Xin Yi, the owner of Bodhi Village, as a guest, and took out a treasure knife on the wine table. Xin Yi is an expert in the knife in the five villages, the ancestors handed down the "flying thirty-six knives" knife spectrum, a big knife is famous in the village, plus he is righteous and bold, known as Xin Dadao. Seeing Zhong Wei'an bring the treasure knife, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Zhong Wei'an took out a scimitar more than a foot long from his backpack. The knife is not long, but it is sharply curved, like a semicircle. I saw Zhong Wei'an pull out the treasure knife from the scabbard, and in an instant, the cold air was pressing, and the light was shining. Xin Yi gasped when he saw it, and couldn't help but take it with both hands and praise it again and again: "Good knife!" What a knife!"

Zhong Wei'an said: "Haha, since Brother Xin likes it, the sword has to be matched with a hero, and this knife will be given to the eldest brother!"

Xin Yi said: "No, this knife is indeed a rare treasure knife, it is really valuable, how can I just take it away?" As he spoke, he handed over the sword again.

Zhong Wei'an didn't reach out to pick it up, and said: "This knife can only be viewed in my place, I can only point thick fists and stupid legs, and this knife is even more handy, it is better to temporarily store it here with the eldest brother, and bury this treasure in the province." ”

Xin Yi laughed and said, "Good brother, since this is the case, then thank you so much to Master Zhongzhai!"

The two talked to each other a few more words, Zhong Wei'an looked at the clock and said, "It's not too early, I should go back too." ”

Xin Yi sent Zhong Wei'an out of the door, and the two shook hands and said goodbye.

After finishing the meal in the village, the living Buddha of Qinghui was about to get up and say goodbye. Zhong Weiman, the owner of the village, looked at his watch and said, "It's still early, so it's better to play a game of chess with me." ”

Qinghui couldn't refuse, so she stayed to play against Zhong Weiman. After practicing two sets, Zhong has less than one win and one loss.

Zhong Weiman said happily: "The master has conceded!"

Qinghui said: "Where, the master of the village has superb chess skills, but it's too late today, so it's not good to bother anymore." ”

Zhong Weiman looked at his watch and said, "Sure enough, it's not early, I'll prepare the car to send the master back!"

Qinghui waved her hand again and again, insisting on going back by herself. Zhong Weiman sent Qinghui outside the village, and the two separated.

The moonlight is bright, and the evening breeze is light and not very cold. Master Qinghui was pleased, so he performed light skills and walked through the night. Not long after, Qinghui had already come to the edge of Bodhi Village.

Suddenly, a black shadow flew over his head, the black shadow was extremely fast, Qinghui was startled, and saw that the black shadow had already entered the stockade. Qinghui hurriedly chased after her, but when she entered the stockade, the black shadow disappeared. Suddenly, several screams rang out from a villaged house on the side of the road. Then came the shouts: "Kill!"

Qinghui flew to the front of the house, and Qinghui yelled: "I'm coming!"

Suddenly, a black shadow came out of the door, and the black shadow was stunned, but then tried to escape. Qinghui leaped forward, and her huge body was already blocking the path of the black shadow. Qinghui saw this person masking his face with a black cloth, and suddenly, the black shadow pulled out a knife from his waist. A cold light flashed immediately in the dark night, this knife was dazzling by the moonlight, and the cold air hit people, Qinghui saw that this knife had a peculiar shape, and the shape was like a semicircle. But before he could look further, the man waved his sword and looked at him.

Qinghui was originally strong in martial arts, but this person's sword skills were extremely weird, as fast as lightning, and he was dazzled for a while and only had the ability to parry. The black shadow slashed for a while, and then turned and fled in the night. Qinghui heard the crying from the house, so she went into the house, and saw four dead people on the ground. It was a couple of Orion and their two children who died, both of whom were killed with a single sword. The person who cried was originally a hunter named Ah Fa in the village.

When Na Ah Fa saw Qinghui coming, he couldn't help crying: "I live next door, and I happened to be a guest tonight, but a masked man in black broke in with a knife, and before I could see it, all four of them were dead." ”

Qinghui said: "Then why aren't you injured?"

Ah Fa said: "I practice good cooking skills on weekdays, I was cooking in the back kitchen, but I just came to the door to see this tragedy, and when the black shadow found me, I just saved my life, you came, scared the man away and picked up my life." ”

Qinghui said: "I see, that thief's knife skills are very powerful, and the old man was almost injured just now." ”

Ah Fa threw himself down in front of the four corpses and cried bitterly, and suddenly he shouted: "Master, what do you think this is?"

Qinghui saw that Ah Fa was holding a yin-yang fish pendant in his hand. Qinghui held it in her hand and watched it repeatedly, and couldn't help but be surprised, this yin and yang fish was impressively engraved with a Xin character.

Ah Fa said: "I can't imagine that the master of Xinzhai still does this kind of thing at home!"

Qinghui said: "Don't make assumptions, wait for me to go to the master's house in Xinzhai to have a look." ”

Not long after, Qinghui came to Xin Yi's house, and shivered as soon as she entered the door. He saw Xin Yi playing with a semicircular scimitar, the light and cold of this knife were clearly the one he had encountered just now. Qinghui remained silent, and when she entered the house, Xin Yi couldn't help but be overjoyed when she saw it, and was about to speak, but Qinghui opened her mouth first: "Master Xinzhai, there was a homicide in the village just now, please go to the scene with me!"

Xin Yi was shocked when he heard this, and hurried to the scene of the crime. Ah Fa was very scared when he saw Xin Yi coming, Qinghui asked Ah Fa to tell the story again, Xin Yi turned out to be the yin and yang fish and said: "This thing is indeed my family's thing, and it belongs to that son, you wait, I'll call him!"

Not long after, Xin Fei, the son of the owner of the village, came to the scene. Xin Yi said: "Why did your yin and yang fish fall here?"

Xin Fei said: "I lost my hunt two days ago, and the things passed down from this family are precious, so I didn't dare to tell my father for a while, I just wanted to get it back, how did I end up here?"

Xin Yi said: "Now you can't get rid of your kid's suspicion." ”

Qinghui said: "This dead man died under a scimitar, there is one thing I don't understand, why the murder weapon is in the hands of the master of Xinzhai." ”

Xin Yi said in surprise: "You said the knife just now? At that time, Zhong Wei'an, the owner of Manshu Village, just gave it to me!"

When Qinghui heard it, she felt that there were a lot of clues, and said: "I'm afraid this matter is difficult to explain for a while, so I have to ask everyone to spend the night in my temple, and the next day I will ask the owner of the Zhong Wei'an village to understand." ”

Everyone had to move into the main hall of the temple for a while. Early the next morning, Zhong Wei'an received the message and came to the temple. As soon as he entered the door, Xin Yi said: "Brother, you have to prove to my brother that the knife was just given to me yesterday." ”

Zhong Wei'an's face was surprised when he heard this, and he said, "Is the master of Xinzhai talking nonsense? Yesterday, Chen Yaozong, the owner of Yuanjue Village, and Liu Xin, the owner of Deva Village, came to my house as guests, I didn't leave the village yesterday, how can I send you a knife?"

Xin Yi was a little angry when he saw that Zhong Wei'an actually opened his eyes and said nonsense. Qinghui had no choice but to invite Chen Yaozong and Liu Xin to confront him in the temple, and the result was just as Zhong Wei'an said. As a result, Xin Yi was speechless and said, "Brother Zhong, could it be that someone is pretending to be you?"

Qinghui recited the Buddha's name and said loudly: "Lord Xinzhai, Lao Gao has no choice but to act according to the law today and temporarily detain you in my temple." ”

Xin Fei shouted: "It wasn't made by our family, absolutely not!"

Qinghui said: "It's a matter of four lives, whether it's or not, you have to wait until the matter is cleared up before letting your father and son go back." ”
