Chapter Ninety-Six: The Abbot of Wisdom
In this way, Master Qingxin followed Jian Chao away, Zhang Tude and the pill were waiting in place, and a steady stream of pilgrims kept passing by one person and one dog, which made Zhang Tude sigh in his heart:
"There are so many people who come to Zhengde Temple, it is worthy of being the largest temple in Siqi, if it weren't for the help of Zhou Li's uncle, I guess it would be difficult to see the abbot."
After waiting for a while, Zhang Tude saw Jian Zhu running over in a hurry and said to him:
"Master Zhang, please come with me, and I will take you to see the abbot."
So Zhang Tude followed behind Jianchao, the two kept shuttling between the majestic temples, the noise of the crowd at the door gradually receded, and Zhang Tude could still faintly hear some chanting.
I don't know how long I walked, Zhang Tude followed Jian Chao through a courtyard full of yellow ginkgo trees, and came to a magnificent hall.
Through the eight-door hall door, Zhang Tude saw that it was more than ten zhang tall, five cross-legged seats, and a huge majestic golden Buddha with different postures, and an old monk stood in front of the golden Buddha.
The old monk was wearing a robe, a five-Buddha hat on his head, his eyebrows and beard were white, and he looked very kind, but his eyes were a little strange, and they were pink.
Seeing Jian Chao walking into the main hall with Zhang Tude, the old monk clasped his hands together and said to Zhang Tude in a calm tone:
"Amitabha, the old man is wise and polite."
This is the abbot of Xinhui? His appearance surprised Zhang Tude a little, not because of the abbot's strange pink eyes, but because the abbot's appearance was still too ordinary.
Originally, Zhang Tude thought that Zhengde Temple was the gate of this world, and Master Xinhui, who was the abbot of Zhengde Temple, must have looked different from ordinary people, but now it seems that he was too affected by Gao Wen and the evil looks he encountered on the road.
"Master Zhang, please come and sit." Just as Zhang Tude was thinking about how to speak, Abbot Xinhui spoke first, and then he sat on a futon in front of the five golden Buddhas.
Xinhui's kind appearance made Zhang Tude feel a lot more at ease, and he also came to the futon opposite Xinhui and sat down, while Jianzhu behind him silently walked out of the main hall.
"This string of Buddhist beads was given to you by General Zhou to Master Zhang?" As soon as Zhang Tude sat down, he saw the abbot of Xinhui take out the string of Buddhist beads and asked, so he hurriedly said the words that he had already thought of on the road:
"Yes, master, I lived in my cousin's house for a period of time when I was a child, and my cousin treated me very well, and when I returned to my hometown, he gave me this string of Buddhist beads, saying that if you encounter trouble in the future, you can come to Zhengde Temple to find you."
"Well, it seems that Zhang Shizhu and General Zhou have a very good relationship, I wonder if Zhang Shizhu has ever heard him mention some things about Lao Wei and him?"
Zhang Tude thought about it, Zhou Li only said that he had some friendship with this Xinhui, and did not talk about other things, which could not be made up, so Zhang Tude told the truth this time:
"I've only heard my cousin say that he had a good relationship with you when he was young, I wonder how he met you?"
Hearing Zhang Tude say this, Xinhui's originally calm face showed a hint of nostalgia, and after a while, he said:
"When Lao Qu was young, he once pursued an evil cultivator, but on the way he fell into a trap set by the evil cultivator and was seriously injured, but fortunately General Zhou came to the rescue, Lao Qu survived, and finally succeeded in catching the evil cultivator.
Since then, Lao Qu and General Zhou have become friends, and the two of us often exchange calligraphy and painting, which is more than ten years, but unfortunately General Zhou was seriously injured in an accident and passed away soon after. ”
Speaking of this, Abbot Xinhui sighed, then folded his hands and said to Zhang Tude:
"I hope Zhang Shizhu doesn't mind, because he misses his old friend too much, so he said so much, since Zhang Shizhu is a relative of General Zhou, then Lao Wei will definitely do his best to help."
Zhang Tude was overjoyed when he heard this, and his problem finally had a chance to be solved, but he was silent on the surface, and said to Xinhui:
"Then please leave it to the master."
At this time, Xinhui regained that calm expression, and after looking at Zhang Tude several times, he continued:
"If the old man is not mistaken, Zhang Shizhu is full of evil spirits on your body, presumably you have come into contact with some evil things, if Zhang Shizhu still has an impression of this, you can talk to the old man, this will help the old man completely solve your problems."
It is impossible for this Zhang Tude to say it all, because he helped the evil cultivator who killed countless people to get the book before he was contaminated with this headless immortal curse, if he said it, maybe this Xinhui abbot would have arrested himself on the spot to the Heavenly Prison Division.
But it's not easy to lie, after all, the abbot of Xinhui wants to help him solve the problem, if this nonsense misleads others, he will hurt himself in the end, so he decided to tell part of the truth:
"Master, that's right, since I was a child, because of my cousin, I have been particularly interested in formless arts and some strange things, and whenever there are rumors about these somewhere, I will go there to take a look.
Some time ago, I heard that there was a man-eating demon on a mountain, so I went to that mountain with a few brave friends to find out.
But the evil ghost didn't see it, and a few of us unexpectedly came to an ancient tomb in the middle of the mountain, and the ancient tomb was full of rare treasures, and I was greedy for a while, and despite the obstruction of those friends, I took a few pieces out.
I never thought that after I came out of the tomb, I had all kinds of strange things, first I had all kinds of nightmares, I had a serious illness, and then my body seemed to be possessed by something, and without my knowledge, that thing did a lot of strange things.
None of my friends who entered the tomb with me were like this, maybe it was because I was greedy and took the treasures in the tomb. ”
Zhang Tude moved out of Zhou Li's cheap cousin again, and described himself as a person who was obsessed with strange things, and when he talked about this, he always thought of the mahjong old man Wu Lia in the mental hospital, and he was like this when he deceived people, with most of the truth in his lies.
Speaking of the back, Zhang Tude's face also pretended to show some shame:
"Master, I was really confused at that time, I went to the ancient tomb in person later for those few treasures, but the strange things on my body have not disappeared, but are getting more and more serious, please help me."
After saying this, Zhang Tude took out the gourd without hesitation and took out the evil parts from the gourd:
"Master, I have also collected some strange things over the years, if you are willing to help me, Master, you can take these things, what do you think?"
Although Abbot Xinhui had already said that he would help him before, and he didn't say that he wanted anything, Zhang Tude still felt that it was better for him to take out something.
After all, no matter how good the relationship between Zhou Li and Master Xinhui is, Zhang Tude's current identity is only a distant relative who came out of nowhere, so it is a little unreasonable for Master Xinhui to rely on this help.
And what Master Xinhui said to help with all his might may be just a kind word, he has paid some good things, maybe he can really make others help.
Although those things are not mortal, he doesn't know what they are for, so it is better to take them out to better solve the problems on his body.
