Volume 1 Tribulation Chapter 53 Master of Deception

After burping a few times, he brought the wooden fish to the table, rolled up his sleeves and recited a spell, and then stretched out his index finger to the wooden fish, and suddenly the whole room was filled with red light.

Only this time, instead of turning into the crane that carried him, the wooden fish transformed into a hideous-looking monster, its eyes glowing red, and its fur was shiny and shiny, showing a color similar to flames.

As the monster opened its mouth, a plate of vegetables on the table was sucked into its belly, and then its mouth opened and closed, and the dishes on the table were collected into its belly one by one.

Xu Chen suddenly came to his senses, it turned out that this monk didn't say anything about stealing food by himself, and he still wanted to pack it back!

What surprised Xu Chen was that the clear space was able to conjure two different animals with a wooden fish, and with this hand alone, his attainments in illusion were much better than his master Karama.

Suddenly, the clear space below let out a low exclamation, Xu Chen hurriedly gathered his mind and pricked up his ears to listen to the words behind him.

I only heard Qingkong mutter: "This scene is a bit fake, I have to make some noise, otherwise it will be difficult to come over tomorrow." ”

After saying this, Jingkong stretched out his hand and stroked the monster and said, "Little baby, howl a few times for the people outside to hear." ”

The monster cried out in perfect cooperation, its voice hoarse and miserable. If Xu Chen hadn't seen it with his own eyes above, he would have taken it for granted that it was a wounded beast wailing.

The clearance seemed to be not noisy enough, and kicked the wooden chair in front of the table, smashing the rice bowl he had eaten to the ground. Then he paced around the room incessantly, reciting improvised incantations in his mouth.

This noisy scene made Zhang Yuanwai and the others who hid in the house and didn't dare to come out sound like they were fighting with the monsters, and everyone thought that the monsters had come at this moment and were engaged in a vicious battle with the master of the clear space in the house.

Seeing that the clear space was in the name of subduing demons, but in fact it was cheating to eat and drink, Xu Chen, who was lying on the roof, suddenly felt funny. If he hadn't covered his mouth with his hands, he would have laughed out loud on the spot.

When the farce of pretending to be a ghost came to an end, Jingkong quickly restored the monster to the shape of a wooden fish, and then calmly opened the closed door to notify Zhang Yuanwai and others to come in.

In addition to Zhang Yuanwai and his wife, some bold housekeepers and maids also came in, and when they saw that the house was in a mess, and there was no trace of the wine and food on the table, they couldn't help but sigh, thinking that the monster was really beaten away by the master.

"Amitabha. Clearance began to pretend again, and let out a long sigh with a frown.

Zhang Yuanwai, who didn't know the truth, was suddenly startled, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

"Alas, this monster is not easy to subdue!"

"Master, you can't die without help!" Zhang Yuanwai was so frightened that he almost knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Clearspace threatened him and said, "Although this monster has been driven away by the old man, it will come to trouble you tomorrow." ”

"Why do you want to come, Master, come up with a way to get rid of this scourge for me at once!" Zhang Yuanwai glanced at the person on the side.

This middle-aged man with a pair of mouse eyes is the housekeeper of Zhang's mansion, and after seeing the hint of the master, he hurriedly took out a few ingots of gold from his arms and stuffed them into his empty hand, and said in a flattering tone: "This is a little bit of the heart of my master, and it should be the incense money for the master." ”

"Vulgar, how can you let these things stain the eyes of the old man!" Jingkong threw the gold on the ground and said in a dignified manner: "The old man is here to resolve the grievances of Lord Zhang Shi in his previous life, you must not look at me with that mundane heart." ”

Xu Chen was stunned when he looked at it, and he didn't know if this old monk really didn't love money or was casting a long line to catch big fish, he secretly said in his heart: "If he doesn't covet money, he can still be a friend he can meet." ”

I didn't know what to do when I was bluffed by the clearance, so I couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Master, is this monster really difficult to deal with?"

"Master Zhang, you don't know about this. Jingkong raised his voice and said: "You were also a rich man in your previous life, but this demon is a beggar, he came to ask for some food and drink on a snowy night, but you drove him out, and he froze to death on the road......

"Ah, and that kind of thing?"

"This is not the end, he was a beggar in the seventh life, and you were reincarnated in a rich family in the seventh life, but every time he went to your house to beg, he was bombarded by you, so he was resentful in this life, and he came here to seek revenge. ”

"Master, you must save me!" This time, Zhang Yuanwai really knelt down.

Jingkong recited Amitabha Buddha again, helped Zhang Yuanwai up and said, "There is an old man here, and he can naturally subdue this demon." However, if the old man forcibly destroys it, I am afraid that it will come to you for trouble in the next life. ”

"Ask the master for guidance!"

"I will do this for seven days in a row to remove the grudges between you and its seven lifetimes. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

"Master Zhang has to set up a banquet for seven days to entertain this demon, otherwise it will not give up. ”

"No problem, no problem!" Zhang Yuanwai nodded again and again.

"The last and most important thing is that you have to do seven more good deeds to be complete. ”

"That's fine. "Although Zhang Yuanwai is a little distressed and will spend a lot of money because of this, it is much better than the monster staying at home and not leaving. Otherwise, if you eat it like this, you will sooner or later eat yourself into a poor egg.

Xu Chen was stunned when he looked at it, and immediately admired the old monk's scheming, daring to love him for setting up a trap step by step, so that Zhang Yuanwai willingly got in and regarded the other party as a benefactor.

He couldn't help but think of the matter of Li Jiunong that he had solved in Lijia Village, and when he compared it with each other, he didn't know how many times better than himself in dealing with it by the monk of the Pure Sky!

Although Xu Chen had seen through that Jingkong was a fake monk, he also found that he was not the kind of magic stick he only knew how to coax money to see in the ordinary market. In fact, this old monk had real skills, Xu Chen felt a little strange, and wondered why he used this deceptive means to achieve his own goals?

At this time, Jingkong had said goodbye to Zhang Yuanwai and returned to the temple, Xu Chen knew that he was not an ordinary person, so he quickly flew to the courtyard wall and lurked to prevent being discovered by the old monk, thus revealing his whereabouts.

He decided to wait and follow the clearance, because he still had a question in his heart, that is, why did the clearance take so much wine and food?

He couldn't eat this amount alone for a few days, so should he waste it with his hair rancid? So Xu Chen was very curious and wanted to find out the reason hidden inside.

But what Xu Chen didn't expect was that the speed of the crane flying in the clear sky was extremely fast, and he couldn't catch up with him behind, and in the end he could only watch him disappear into the night with frustration.

However, Xu Chen was not in a hurry, didn't this monk say that he would do Dharma for seven days in a row, he decided to stay in this ancient town for an extra day or two to find out the origin of the clear space.

But the next day, after Xu Chen heard something from someone else's mouth, the whole person was a little confused, and he found that he still underestimated the deception of the clear space.

It was already afternoon, Xu Chen was wandering around the town alone, and he ran into the two family members from yesterday.

Because he was idle and bored, Xu Chen chatted with these two family members about family life. As he spoke, the topic turned to the monster that harassed Zhang's mansion.

When Xu Chen listened to the description of the monster's appearance from his family, he was taken aback. Because this monster actually looks the same as the monster that the clear space conjured with a wooden fish. It turned out that there were no monsters at home at all, and this matter was a scam planned by Clear Space from beginning to end.

Why did he do this? Xu Chen was puzzled, his heart became more confused, and he became more and more determined to track the clear space tonight.

He remembered that the family had told him about the residence of the monk when he had dinner yesterday, so he asked them the path to Longquan Temple, thinking that the monk who ran away would not be able to run to the temple, and if he lost it again tonight, he would go to the temple to find this deceitful old bald donkey.

At this moment, the monk Jingkong came on foot from a distance, and when Xu Chen was wondering why he didn't come like yesterday, Jingkong had already walked in front of Xu Chen, and said with a smile: "This little benefactor looks a little familiar." ”

"The master has recognized the wrong person! I am just a mountain village man, and it is too late to admire you, so how dare I make friends with you. Xu Chen hurriedly denied it, for fear that he would know about what he was following last night.

Qingkong was stunned, and wanted to talk to Xu Chen for a few words, but there was no chance.

Last night, the matter of his work at Zhang Yuanwai's house had already spread all over the ancient town, so as soon as he appeared here, he immediately attracted a lot of people to come and watch, and for a while, Xu Chen and Jingkong were surrounded by enthusiastic people, making it impossible for them to talk.

Xu Chen suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, feeling like an animal in a cage, being pointed at by a group of people watching the excitement.

Fortunately, their attention was on the pure space monk, and this guy enjoyed the honor very much, smiling and chanting the Buddha's name with his palms folded, and saying some words of blessing to everyone from time to time.

Xu Chen hurriedly took advantage of the clear sky to quietly squeeze out of the crowd and go outside Zhang's Mansion to wait for his arrival.

Still the same as yesterday, the people who came with the monk were stopped by the family of Zhang's mansion again, and only this clear-space who seemed to be the image of a monk was invited into the mansion by Zhang Yuanwai.

Still the same as yesterday, Xu Chen hid on the roof and peeked, and pretended to drive away the monsters below. Listening to the sound of fighting in the house, Zhang Yuanwai's family was so frightened that they thought that the master of the clear space was fighting with the monsters inside.

However, only Xu Chen knew in his heart that this old bald donkey was fighting with monsters, but he was just taking the opportunity to cheat on a delicious meal of wine and food, and he ate more tonight than yesterday, and his face was ruddy and like a proud official.

After the empty air was full of wine and food, Zhang Yuanwai and others, who were guarding outside, called in like yesterday.

As soon as Zhang Yuanwai entered the door, he smelled the smell of wine spurting out of his empty mouth, and couldn't help but say with a little surprise: "Master, have you drunk?"

Xu Chen almost laughed out loud when he heard it, thinking to himself, you bald donkey is exposed, I'll see how you deal with it.

I didn't know that the clear space was not red and my heart was not beating, and he said: "This monster has just heard me preach Buddhism, and his heart has been touched. In order to deepen his relationship with him, Lao Qu had to drink a few glasses of wine with him. ”

"Oh, it's all old and bad, and the master broke the vows. Zhang Yuanwai was suddenly concealed by the clear space, and he fell to his feet and sighed, worried that the clear space would blame himself.

"Good, good, I don't go to hell, who will go to hell!" This clear space actually took advantage of the topic, and put on a sanctimonious appearance and said: "Why should the donor blame himself, if the old man can save the people in the world, why worry about breaking some small precepts." ”

Zhang Yuanwai heard what he said so greatly, and he was busy thanking him for his kindness, and only then did he ask suspiciously: "Master, the movements of the monsters in the past two days are very different from before, have you become honest under your guidance?"
