Chapter 10: The True Zen Master
It turned out that the two were a newlywed couple, the husband was a native of Shangdu, and the wife was a foreigner, so they planned to drive to their parents' house three days after marriage. But I never thought that when I drove to Yongan Avenue, an old man suddenly rushed out of the middle of the road, and my husband hurriedly hit the steering wheel in order to avoid it, resulting in the vehicle losing control and overturning. As for the old man, he was so frightened that he ran away after seeing the car overturned, and he didn't care about the two people whose fate was unknown. By the time the ambulance arrived, the two people in the car were dead. At the time of his death, the husband saw the old man with his own eyes, and he planned to lie on the ground and touch porcelain, but after seeing the tragedy, he fled. So there was a resentment in the husband's heart, complaining about why the old man touched the porcelain and why he didn't save them in time.
After listening to the couple's story, Li Mu also sighed. It is not uncommon to touch porcelain in society, that is, he drives a broken car, so no one can look at him, so he has not encountered it, so he doesn't have much feeling about touching porcelain, but now after listening to it, he feels that this behavior of touching porcelain is really hateful.
"There is a debtor and a debtor, and it is the old man who touched the porcelain who harmed you, even if it is to vent his anger, he can't hurt the lives of innocent people." Although he sympathized with the couple ghosts in front of him, Li Mu also felt that the two ghosts had gone too far.
"Originally, the two of us wanted to find the old man after turning into ghosts, but how could we find it in the vast sea of people. Later, my husband and wife simply waited in the same place to see if the old man would come here again to touch porcelain. I didn't expect God to really open his eyes, and it really made us wait for the couple. ”
"You mean the old man is in that sunset red tour group?" Hearing this, Li Mu almost sorted out the context of the matter in his heart.
"Hmph, no matter how clever you are, you will eventually kill people and let those ghosts scatter, how can such a heinous crime spare you easily. This day the poor way will destroy you, so that you will not suffer the eighteen levels of hell. Even though he knew the experience of the husband and wife, An Zhiquan still had an iron heart to get rid of it.
"If you want to destroy us, then I will make it difficult for you." The male ghost heard that An Zhiquan still had no intention of letting them go, so he prepared to burn the jade.
"Presumptuous!" An Zhiquan heard the threatening meaning of the male ghost's words, and his anger in his heart was even worse, and he immediately controlled the blood-colored giant sword and slashed straight over.
The blood-colored giant sword moved silently but as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it came to the male ghost, and just as the giant sword was about to be slashed, the female ghost next to him hurriedly jumped in front of the male ghost.
A terrible scream pierced the sky, adding a touch of sadness to the silent night.
Many blood-colored silk threads quickly invaded the female ghost's body along the long sword, and after a while, the female ghost's body was covered with silk threads. Then, the female ghost's body began to slowly dissipate until it finally disappeared into this world completely.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you Xiaolan, you hold on." The male ghost saw that the female ghost was about to disappear in the world, and the fierce aura that had long been lost before was gone, and he held the female ghost in his arms.
In the face of her husband's eager inquiry, the female ghost named Xiaolan turned her head to An Zhiquan. "Immortal Chief, I know that this can't completely offset the sins of my husband and wife, but I still hope that Immortal Elder can leave a way for my husband to live, please."
"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!" The scene in front of him also made An Zhiquan sigh quietly.
"No, Lan, you'll be fine. Big deal, I'll go with you. The male ghost held the female ghost tightly in his arms, but he found that the female ghost's body was getting smaller and smaller.
"Aaron, don't be stupid, this time it's really our husband and wife who are wrong, remember to live well in the next life, but unfortunately I can't see it." After saying these words, Xiaolan's body finally completely dissipated.
Looking at the empty arms, the male ghost froze there for a while. The resentment on his body also dissipated with Xiaolan's dissipation, and at this time he had become an ordinary ghost.
An Zhiquan took out a small glass bottle from his bag, whispered a spell in his mouth and put the male ghost into the bottle. So far, tonight's ghost catching operation has come to a successful end.
The two didn't expect things to be twists and turns, plus they were physically and mentally exhausted, so they didn't say anything along the way and went back to the rental house and fell asleep.
Originally, Li Mu planned to go to work, but looking at the blood stains on his face, he simply invited for a few more days, of course, he was inevitably educated by the boss.
"Monk? What are you looking for a monk for? Li Mu, who was lying on the bed on all fours, stared at An Zhiquan with big eyes and some inexplicable reasons.
Since Li Mu took him to change his hairstyle, An Zhiquan has habitually fiddled with his hair in the mirror every morning. This made Li Mu begin to regret that he shouldn't have spent money to get him this cool hairstyle in the first place, how good it would be to be directly intimate. At this time, An Zhiquan was combing his hair in front of the mirror while talking to Li Mu.
"We Taoist priests are good at catching ghosts, but Chaodu still needs the Dharma of a high monk, not to mention that this time we are catching evil ghosts. Although this evil ghost finally dissipated his anger because of his wife's death, it is estimated that there are still some troubles in order to be reincarnated smoothly. ”
After listening to An Zhiquan's explanation, Li Mu also understood, just where to find the monk, it is estimated that he should be able to find it above. I only knew about buying Dharma things by asking the fat man before, but this time Li Mu also made a phone call to the fat man in the same way.
"Jade Buddha Temple? I know this, is there really a monk in it? ”
"I can't be wrong, every first day of the new year, my mother will go to the Jade Buddha Temple to worship the Buddha, I heard that their abbot is a high monk, of course I have not seen it. You can go and see it, but the abbot is not for everyone. From the receiver of the phone, the fat man's voice was also a little uncertain.
"Alright, then let's go check it out." After Li Mu had another greeting with the fat man, he hung up the phone, of course, the fat man must have gossiped again, and Li Mu also had a headache and flickered the fat man before he stopped.
Taking off his glasses and rubbing his temples, Li Mu found that he didn't know why, his eyes were sore after wearing the glasses for a long time, and his head was uncomfortable, so it seemed that he had to find time to go to the hospital to have a look.
Putting his glasses back on, Li Mu turned his head to An Zhiquan, who had already styled his hair, and said, "Let's go to the Jade Buddha Temple in the afternoon, I heard that the True Zen Master is an enlightened monk." But having said that, in the future, people with high status may not necessarily meet us. ”
"It's okay, I'm sure he'll see us."
Li Mu was also speechless for An Zhiquan's inexplicable confidence, but he didn't say anything to refute it, because this guy himself was not an ordinary person.
The Jade Buddha Temple is not only a famous temple in the capital, but also a well-known Buddhist temple at home and abroad. In order to develop tourism in modern times, the Jade Buddha Temple is open for tourists to visit, which makes the Jade Buddha Temple one of the top ten tourist attractions in Shangdu. Of course, Li Mu and An Zhiquan are not tourists, and the purpose of this visit is not to visit. When he stepped into the Jade Buddha Temple, Li Mu was also surprised. There are many believers and tourists in the temple, but so many people do not have noisy noise, and some only sound around the Buddha. The curling green smoke straight into the sky brings the inner prayers of believers, and the sandalwood scattered with the wind makes people let go of the impetuousness in their hearts.
"Looks like we've come to the right place." An Zhiquan's voice came from Li Mu's ears.
"That's good, I'll ask someone if I can meet Master Zhenzen." Since the place is right, it is estimated that the true Zen master will definitely not be wrong.
Just Li Mu looked around to see if there were any guest monks, but asked. Unexpectedly, a little novice appeared in front of the two, and as soon as the little novice came to the two of them, he said directly: "May I ask if the two donors have come to find the abbot of our hospital?" ”
Hey, this is really sleepy and sent a pillow. Li Mu was worried that he couldn't find anyone to ask, but someone sent it to the door. But how did he know we were coming to the abbot, strange.
"Then there is this little master." Just when Li Mu felt strange, An Zhiquan seemed to know something. After speaking, he followed Xiao Shami to the depths of the temple, and Li Mu had to press the question in his heart and follow.
Walking on the path paved with green bricks, Li Mu found that there were fewer and fewer people around, and in the end, there were only three of them on the whole road, and the surroundings were also unusually quiet, and they could hear their footsteps. You must know that this is Shangdu, and the noise of traffic can be said to be everywhere, but here it is quiet.
A few minutes later, the little novice took the two to the door of a simple Buddhist hall, and then bowed to the closed door with his hands folded and said, "Abbot, the two donors have already brought it." ”
As soon as the words fell, the door opened without wind. When the door opened, the little novice instructed them to go in, but he himself withdrew.
When the two of them walked into the Buddha hall, they saw that there were no superfluous objects in the Buddha hall, and there was a half-human-high Buddha statue among them. There is no tribute on the incense table in front of the Buddha statue, only a furnace of sandalwood. At this moment, a monk was sitting on a futon with his back to them, chanting Buddhist scriptures. After reciting a Buddhist scripture, the monk got up and turned around.
The monk had a white beard and eyebrows, and was obviously very old, but his complexion was ruddy. The old monk's eyes were slightly closed and his face was smiling, which made people feel like a spring breeze.
"Amitabha, the poor monk has a welcome guest." The old monk pronounced a Buddha name and gave a Buddha salute.
"Amitayus Buddha, I hope the master will forgive me for disturbing me this time." An Zhiquan hurriedly returned the salute, and Li Mu on the side also learned to return the salute when he saw this, but when he gave the salute, the old monk avoided it slightly, but the two of them did not find it.
"Last night, there was a divine power appearing, presumably by the two donors."
Hearing the old monk say this, An Zhiquan also explained the incident of last night.
"Amitabha, the merits are immeasurable. It is also incumbent upon the poor monk to do so. The old monk took the bottle containing the male ghost and saluted the two again.
The old monk put the bottle on the incense table and opened it, and the male ghost floated out faintly, looking at the three people in front of him without a trace of expression. Without stopping, the old monk sat cross-legged on the futon and recited the scriptures of the past life.
As soon as the scriptures came out, the male ghost's face tightened, and the original jet-black voice began to glow with golden light. After a moment, the male ghost's face began to become calm. When its entire body was covered in golden light, the male ghost bowed to the three of them and slowly dispersed in the air.
"Amitabha, good, good!"
