The lord of Hu Zhuang sent several family members to lead the two monks of Yuan Song and Wencheng to their ancestral halls. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Zhuang courtyard surnamed Hu is built on a small hill, and there is a small tributary of Suishui around Zhuangdong, and the defense conditions are generally very good -- this is also a helpless move for the local heroes to seek to save their lives in the troubled times, because even if the "Daoyi" can't be killed, maybe one day the county guard and the state shepherd will be unhappy, and they will take the big clans who have no backers in the jurisdiction to open the knife, so as to enrich the eunuch bag.

As the most important building in the village, the ancestral hall must of course be built according to the mountain, with a high wall behind it, and a large empty courtyard in front of it - every time during the sacrificial period, it is of course impossible for more than 100 members of a family to squeeze into the ancestral hall, and those who are more distant or have less property have to kneel in the courtyard.

The two monks entered the ancestral hall to take a look, it is estimated that it is caused by limited financial resources, the ancestral hall is not very grandiose, inside and outside the two in, can barely squeeze in more than 30 people. Around the curtain in the middle, there is a confession and a genealogy of the wooden box, but there is no place where the tablet should be placed in theory.

There's no way around it. According to the owner of Hu Zhuang, since the fight against the monsters, there is nothing to do during the day, but at night, there must be dark clouds shrouded over the ancestral hall, and the people guarding the ancestral hall fall asleep, and when they get up the next morning to take a look, all the tablets on the case have been cut in two! At the beginning, the owner of Hu Zhuang called a few monks who were familiar with each other in the neighborhood to chant scriptures to exorcise evil spirits, but it had no effect, and if those monks also stayed in the ancestral hall until the evening, they would also be unconscious. The new tablet is done, and it will be cut off every other night.

In just a few months, everyone in the village is in danger, but the owner of Hu Zhuang is at a loss. It just so happened that not long ago, an old friend, the Southern Yanzhou Dian, returned to his hometown and lived in a neighboring village, and he heard about this and gave Hu Zhuang an idea, saying that he might as well summon the monks of the whole county and even the neighboring counties in the name of the monk to discuss this matter, I believe that there is always a capable monk who can get rid of it......

In the end, this heavy responsibility fell on the shoulders of Wei Wencheng and Yuan Song.

Zhuang Ding put the newly made tablet on the confession, in order to attract the monsters to come, so as to see if the two wild monks could be ambushed, and at the same time they also left a cover, water, and some demon subduing tools that Wei Wencheng requested. Monk Yuan Song also called those who had been in the ancestral hall overnight to call him to inquire about the situation in detail, until the red sun set, everyone left in a hurry, and there were only two bald heads left in the huge ancestral hall...... Oh, Wei Wencheng's head is not bright enough.

Wei Wencheng discussed with Yuan Song, saying that although I have the ability to subdue demons and subdue monsters, to be honest, I haven't actually tested it...... And I have been practicing on the edge of Taihu Lake before, I have not traveled much, and my knowledge is superficial, unlike Senior Brother, you came out of Shudi, first ran to Nanchen, and then went north to Qi State, I am afraid that I have walked more roads than I have eaten dry food...... You just asked those people, but do you have any experience or clues?

Yuan Song said, although I may be slightly more knowledgeable than you, but after all, because I was born with heavy yang qi and retreated from all evils, I haven't really seen any demons and monsters...... But traveling around, I have heard a lot of strange stories. I pondered, "Nothing is troubled during the day, but it is confusing at night, and there is nothing to be done?"

If it's a monster, there's no reason why you don't dare to appear in broad daylight? This is actually a ghost, right?

Wei Wencheng nodded: "There is nothing else to disturb, but if you cut off the clan card surnamed Hu, you will have enemies with the clansmen." ”

Yuan Song thought for a while and said, "If he is afraid of me and does not come to invade, although he returns in vain, he will not be lost...... "I will ensure that your tablet will not have an accident overnight, and the monster himself will not dare to come, so no wonder I am - "I am afraid that I will be confused, and I will fall asleep, what can I do?"

Wei Wencheng said that if we were really stunned by that monster or ghost, it would be impossible to think about it...... But I have a few ways to purify my mind and clear my mind, so I can give it a try. He immediately recited the mantra, cast several spells recorded in the Book of Heaven, and blessed himself and Monk Yuan Song - as for whether it was effective or not, there was no guarantee for the time being.

Immediately, the two monks unfolded the cover, did not lie down, only sat on the ground, while paying attention to the situation inside and outside the ancestral hall, while chatting with each other - the long night was long, and they did not dare to sleep, how could they survive without chatting?

Wei Wencheng said first, Senior brother, your words just now are really profound, if this monk is greedy for beautiful food and clothes, nine out of ten will definitely be a liar. Yuan Song sighed and said, "It's a pity, there are so many liars today!"

Then he looked at Wei Wencheng and said: "I don't hide it from you, I want to be in Shuzhong, travel around the temples, worship the master, and one of the grandsons Tianying is also ......."

When Wei Wencheng heard him mention such a name, he thought that he should know, but he ...... I haven't heard of it...... So he smiled awkwardly: "I live in seclusion, green lights and yellow scrolls, and I really don't know the characters in Shu." Yuan Song said "oh", so he explained: "Sun Tianying is his common name." The former was Hou Jing Chaoliang, and the Shu soldiers were transferred to the east to Qinwang, so that the taxes were heavy, and the people's grievances were boiling. ”

Wei Wencheng nodded, meaning that I understand, dare you once had a master who was a rebel-"The current dynasty has changed, and Yizhou has been Zhou, although the senior brother is a disciple of Sun, he should not be wanted." ”

Yuan Song waved his hand, saying that I didn't mean this, and I was not afraid of being implicated by Master Sun, but I was deeply influenced by Master Sun, and he said that the so-called monks in the world were mostly landlords, who did not produce, but instead exploited the people, and those corrupt officials and inferior gentry were originally the same as the raccoon dog - "Knowing the law and respecting the Buddha, starting as a monk, and being a monk, receiving alms from the believers, just to protect this body and understand Bodhi Er." He is either a great floating slaughter, or a person who has a body of Ayaluo, or a person who has been anointed by a solar eclipse, is he really a monk?

The more Monk Yuan Song spoke, the more angry he became, and he felt that he had finally found such an outlet for Wei Wencheng to have the words that had been blocked in his heart, and he was talking eloquently at the moment, cursing that ninety percent of the monks in the world were liars and silverfish. He said that the monks do not need to pay taxes, and those famous mountains and temples occupy thousands of acres of fertile land in vain, but they refuse to hand over a stone of grain to the state, so the government has increased the oppression of the small people, and the people are forced to send their land to the temple...... Such a vicious circle makes the power of the government weaker and weaker, and the thieves are powerless to exterminate, and there are external troubles that cannot be resisted, and in the end it is the ordinary people who suffer......

So you say that if the monastery can take the place of the government to maintain the common people, maybe there is hope to achieve the earthly Buddha kingdom, but in fact, the monks only collect the people's taxes on behalf of the government, but they do not do any good things! They have a little spare money to know that they can build temples or make a big puja, they are greedy for enjoyment, and chanting sutras is only for the foolish people, so naturally the puja will not be able to really ensure that the wind and rain are smooth. Instead, in the name of the puja, the monks forced the people to worship again......

"How different is this monk from a thief?!"

Wei Wencheng interjected and asked him, "In this case, does the senior brother still believe in Buddhism?"

Yuan Song said that I believe in Buddhism, but I am ashamed to be in the company of that group of monks, and I don't want to be a monk for a long time -- "Just for the convenience of traveling, I still use monk-shaped ears." "He said that I don't see the monks of Bashu can't speak, so I want to look elsewhere to find out if there are real monks and real Shamen, but I went to Nanchen and saw that the situation everywhere was not much better than that in Shuzhong, and then went north to Qi State, and what I saw was the same - "Those who are suitable for the hall will retreat when they hear my words, and I am afraid that they are all male thieves and female prostitutes!"

Wei Wencheng smiled and said, "The crows in the world are generally black." "I don't have as many places as you run, and I haven't seen too many monks and nuns who don't know what to say or even behave indiscriminately, but I have read history books in my previous life, and I know that when the Buddhist faith is overflowing, it is often mixed with mud and sand, and eighty or ninety percent of the monks and disciples are added to the filth. Do you think that the monks of Bashu can't talk? How is it possible? At present, it is the era when both the northern and southern dynasties believe in Buddhism, and religious belief is like a flooded river, which is bound to cause disasters everywhere.

"Senior brother is resentful of the release of disciples in this world, what should he do?"

Yuan Song: I said that I plan to return to China -- Isn't Bashu now taken down by the Northern Zhou Dynasty? Then when I talk about my own country, I naturally mean the Northern Zhou Dynasty -- "If you want to go to Chang'an, you ...... it."

Halfway through his words, Wei Wencheng suddenly frowned, put a finger to his lips, and gently shushed. He first cultivated the Tao, then worshiped the Buddha, and studied the Book of Heaven, and now his ears and eyes are clear, and he is far away from the ordinary, so he instinctively senses that the surrounding situation is a little wrong.

Monk Yuan Song was just stunned, his mouth was still open, and he heard a soft "click" in the back of his head. The two turned their heads to take a look, but saw that one of the tablets on the confession case was inexplicably broken by the waist!

-- This Hu surnamed Chen Hu Gongman is the ancestor of Zhao, with Hu Guozhen, the father of the Empress Dowager Hu, as the ancestor, and the ancestors of Hu Guozhen and the following dynasties have tablets, a total of 12 pieces, and this time it is Hu Guozhen's spirit card that is placed in the middle position.

Wei Wencheng watched the upper half of the tablet fall on the confession, and then bounced up, turned out the edge of the confession, and fell straight to the ground, his expression couldn't help but be in a trance, as if he had returned to before crossing - he turned off the phone in the morning and went out to buy breakfast, and he had just bought a copy of the "Supreme Mystery Sutra" in the newspaper kiosk. ”

Wei Wencheng casually agreed, but then turned around and looked at the man: "I'm sorry, forgive me for being clumsy, do we know each other?"

The man smiled at him and asked, "Are you sick?"

"You're sick!" Wei Wencheng couldn't help but surge up, "Is there anyone who talks like that?"

The other party laughed "hehe": "If you weren't sick, you would have promised a fart to a broken spirit card?"

Wei Wencheng was startled, immediately woke up, and hurriedly touched a bronze mirror from his side. This bronze mirror was prepared by him at the request of the Hu family, the quality is not inferior, it is polished to a bright tile, and he also wrote a circle of runes on the edge of the mirror with cinnabar in advance. Erecting the bronze mirror, he refracted the light of the lamp and candle, and shone in the direction of the confession.

A black shadow immediately showed its figure in the mirror!
