Sixty-seven Ghost Boys
Taishou gritted his teeth and stared at the person in front of him, his fingers trembled slightly, he didn't know whether he was frightened or angry, and said: "Ghost boy, why don't you keep your promise? I only need to make things convenient for you here, you won't do superfluous things, and you won't show our relationship to the outside world, why did you come here again? Is this nonsense?"
He made a little monk opposite, also in his twenties, wearing an ink-colored monk's robe, at first glance, it is an ordinary monk, just a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest are snow-white, with a warm luster, like ivory, and as if made of bones, the monk said: "Amitabha, don't worry, Lord Taishou, the little monk is here, just to ask you about one thing, I will leave after inquiring." ”
Taishou sneered: "Let's go, can you go? Are you blind when you ride the dark clouds into my county guard mansion with such fanfare? They don't care about your affairs, they are in the way of His Holiness's face, but you don't know what to do, how can they tolerate you if you challenge the authority of the Daomen so much? I'm afraid that they will hit my county guard mansion in a while." ”
The monk said lightly: "Lord Taishou doesn't need to worry, since I dare to come, I am prepared." ”
Taishou was angry and annoyed, and said, "What are you prepared for?" His face changed suddenly, and he pointed at him and said, "Could it be your Venerable...... To go to war with the Daomen. ”
Rao is monk has always been cold, and he couldn't help laughing, and said, "My lord thinks too much." Besides, our Venerable Being's enemies are contained in the Buddha Gate and the Dao Gate, so they have the intention of hating the same enemy, so naturally they will not turn their faces against the Daomen at this time. ”
Hearing this, Tai Shou's face turned slightly pale, and said, "This is the best." At that moment, the people from the Daomen came over, so what should I do?"
The monk said: "Amitabha, the poor monk has his own measure. Needless to say, let me first ask Taishou, why did the people we sent fail?"
Tai Shou said stupidly: "They acted carelessly, and they were caught by the opponent and made a fuss, and the Daomen had to do it as a last resort." Go and ask the watchman. "It turned out that Feng Yizhen came back and didn't inform the yamen here of the details, and Taishou also heard one or two from the captain. Knowing that other forces were interfering, he was well versed in the method of being an official, and he paid attention to turning big things into small things. If it is said that it is done by unknown forces, the monk will inevitably be entangled, and there will be follow-up responsibilities, and the surname Suo will be pushed to the Daomen together, anyway, the Venerable will not dare to turn his face with the Daomen, and he will not be involved.
The monk muttered: "There are really masters in Qinshan Temple? Anyway, they are also in the line of Buddhist cultivation, and the monks actually dare to ask the Taoist Gate for help, and it is really a shame that they have such courage and such a cheek." He added, "I heard that the day before the Daomen attacked, someone made trouble at the city gate and killed the people we sent, is there such a thing?"
The Taishou was stunned for a moment before he thought of this and said, "There are people making trouble at the city gate." "Heart: Isn't that your people making trouble?
The monk said, "Stay, that's him, he's not a watchman, is he? Where is he from? What is his identity?"
That Taishou said: "That person, you can't move that person, he is also a descendant of a family of Daomen laymen, and the hereditary Daomen disciples in the family, if you don't dare to move the Daomen, it is in vain to ask him." ”
The monk said: "It's our business to move around, you just say a name, and it's none of your business." ”
That is too guarded and said: That kid is arrogant and domineering, and he hates it even more than those Taoist priests. It's obviously a steamed bun that has been flattened -- it's not a good cake, so why should I hide it for him?" said: "That's the second son of the Cheng family in Yunzhou, Cheng Zheng." ”
The monk recited it silently and said, "Okay, I remember him." ”
Na Taishou said: "What else do you have to ask, once you finish speaking, there is not much time......" Before the words fell, I heard a housekeeper come in and shouted: "Master, Qingpingguan took people and surrounded the county guard's mansion." ”
When he heard this, his eyes were dark, he sat down on the chair, and suddenly remembered the person in front of him, and leaned over to catch the monk, and said, "What now?"
The monk smiled and said, "I have my own way to get out." ”
The Taishou was stunned and said, "What about me?"
The monk said, "You can do it yourself." Seeing that Taishou was at a loss, he suddenly smiled and said, "Do you know why I dare to drive the black cloud into Taishou's mansion?"
The Taishou shook his head, and the monk smiled and said, "Just so that you can't be this Taishou." ”
The Taishou didn't react for a while, and the monk had already laughed and said, "You took our Venerable's money, but ruined our Venerable's great affairs, is that just it? Our Venerable's money is so easy to collect? Don't say that you are a little Taishou, you are a thorn and a minister, who dares to take advantage of us." If you can't do an errand, just trade your life. ”
The Taishou only felt that his mind was buzzing for a while, and for a while he was furious, blood poured into his pupils, stretched out his hand, pulled out the sword hanging on the wall, and slashed at the monk without a head, scolding: "Demon monk, I want to die with you." ”
The monk's originally calm expression suddenly became gloomy, his body was filled with black air, his outline became trance, and he said, "What a spiritual old man." You have the strength to sprinkle at the Daomen, if you can kill a Taoist priest, it will be worth the capital. We, Venerable One, have decreed that we will collect a little interest today, and in the future, we will repay even the share of the Daomen. With a pop, it turned into a cloud of black smoke and billowed away.
The Taishou mind was greatly stimulated, his spirit was in a trance, and he was already half crazy, only to feel that the monk's gloomy and vicious smile was in front of him, holding the sword and slashing up and down, shouting: "Good demon monk, you give me death-death-death!"
Suddenly, he only felt that the sword in his hand had touched something, and it was stuck in it, unable to advance or retreat, he used his strength several times in a row, and the long sword in his hand did not move. I only heard a sneer in my ear, and Na Taishou shook his head, and it became clear in front of him.
I saw a person standing in front of him, holding his sword in his hand, wearing a bright red cloak, revealing the runic Taoist robe inside, a pair of willow eyebrows upside down, two apricot eyes wide, it was Feng Yizhen, I only heard her say coldly: "What's the matter, it was revealed that he colluded with the demon of the Demon Gate, and he planned to resist stubbornly, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry?"
Taishou threw his sword away, looked around, and saw that the people around him who were already full of Daomen laughed miserably, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground with a thud.
Cheng Jun didn't know what had happened in the city, so he and the little monk went out of the city gate and joined the Da Yundao people and a few monks. Several people went all the way into the mountain and walked in the direction of Wanma Temple, but fortunately no one chased them.
After walking for a few days, Cheng Jun needless to say, the little monk and the big cloud road people have not weak cultivation at this time, so naturally it doesn't matter, but the two monks are not good, especially the old monk Guanghua, who has passed the age of antiquity, and is a **mortal fetus, walking has been shaking, Cheng Jun estimated that he felt out of the scope of the pursuit, and did not find any danger along the way, so he arranged for everyone to rest.
There happened to be a relatively spacious cave on the side of the road, a few people walked in, sat down to rest, and Cheng Jun took out dry food and drinking water for everyone to eat. After half an hour, the old monk also eased up, and Cheng Jun said: "We are in a hurry from the county town, and we don't have time to say anything." Now is the right time, let's get down to business. Now that you're out of Tongfeng County, where are you going to stay?"
One sentence reached everyone's hearts, except for the little monk, the rest of the people were rooted in Tongfeng County, and they didn't think about it so much when they left just now, but now they calmed down, but they found that they had become rootless duckweed who had left their hometown.
The two monks of Qinshan Temple are okay, anyway, Qinshan Temple has been destroyed, and it is almost the same everywhere, and the people of Dayun Dao thought of their business, but they were distressed. Before he became a shopkeeper and a Taoist priest, the weight of Songhe Tower in his heart was not lighter than that of cultivation, but now it has come to naught, how can he not be sad?
Cheng Jun said: "Then let me say it first, Kong Ren and I have to go back to Wanma Temple." The little monk nodded beside him.
The people of the Great Cloud Dao secretly calculated in their hearts, and said, "I...... The Songhe Tower is gone, it was handed down from our family era, and it can't be lost in my hands. I also want to rebuild it. Tongfeng County can't go back for the time being, so I'll find another county town and build another pine crane tower, this signboard can't be down. If after a few years, the rumors have passed, I have to go back to Tongfeng County to see, if the Songhe Tower is still there, then it is the best, even if it is gone, I will also revive the family business. ”
Cheng Jun nodded, and did not ask: Then what about your path of cultivation? Everyone has their own aspirations, since the first thing that the people of the Great Cloud Dao thought of was the Songhe Tower, it proved that he was really not suitable for cultivation, and no one could force it. At that moment, Cheng Jun asked the Guanghua monk again: "What about the elders, do you want to rebuild Qinshan Temple?"
Guanghua and Guangyuan smiled bitterly at each other, the people of Dayundao brought a lot of gold and silver when they left, and they had confidence, the two of their belongings were burned clean, and both of them were very old, they couldn't carry their shoulders and couldn't lift them, and they also had difficulties in eating, and there were no disciples under the door, so what else did they mention to rebuild? They were all silent.
Cheng Jun said: "Qinshan Temple is a temple registered in the imperial court, can there be a temple property of Shanmen? If there is a temple property that is publicized, you can go to the court to write a book after a while and get the temple property back." ”
Guanghua shook his head and said: "My small temple is built in the mountains, and the incense is not vigorous. Although there is an industry, it is not a temple property, but only leased. What's more, the poor monk doesn't dare to show his face now, where can he ask for land from the imperial court. Ah, are a few Taoist friends from Wanma Temple?"
Cheng Jun nodded, and Zen Master Guanghua took out a close-fitting oilcloth package from his arms, and said: "This is a relic entrusted to Lao Wei by Senior Brother Hui of Wanma Temple, and the thing here belongs to the original owner." It's a pity that the ashes of the senior brother surnamed Hui were enshrined in the temple, and they were burned clean by a fire before they could be snatched out.
Cheng Jun didn't take it, the little monk stepped forward to take it, and checked it slightly, only to see that the package was hugged well, without a trace of wrinkles, and his heart was moved, you must know that these Guanghua Zen masters have suffered from displacement, and actually kept the relics of his old friend, which shows how he is dedicated, his heart moved, his eyes were slightly sideways, and he intended to ask Cheng Jun.
When Cheng Jun saw it, he knew what he meant, and motioned for him to make his own decision.
Kong Ren nodded and said: "Old Zen Master, since the two uncles have nowhere to live for the time being, why don't you come to my Wanma Temple to place an order?"
