Chapter Seventy-Seven: Friend's Advice Is a Golden Word (Part II)
Qilang "squeaked" and drank a sip of Longbin wine, grabbed a piece of sauced beef and stuffed it into his mouth, glanced at Qiao Eighteen and said, "You dead ghost is too pedantic!" Didn't you see Brother Zhizhan worrying about you? Friends are worried that you will turn a blind eye, where are there so many stinky rules? ”
Qiao 18 suddenly appeared, Zhan Zhizhan was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Brother Pei is unharmed, congratulations!" ”
The fat sister-in-law at the delivery window suddenly saw Zhan Zhizhan standing up, not to the friend who was drinking with him, but to the empty space, beating the drum vigorously in her heart, and secretly thought: "What's wrong with this psychopath?" I don't know what he will order after he is mentally ill, so he has to be more careful. Otherwise, let alone let him beat in vain, and smash the hotel in vain! ”
Qiao 18 returned the salute and said: "Brother Lao Zhizhan is concerned, and the younger brother is grateful!" The Marquis of the Northern Underworld was merciful and ruled that the younger brother did not leak the heavenly secret to Brother Zhizhan and did not violate the "Law of the Underworld", but it was only a thin line. Moreover, judging from the outcome of the matter, it did not violate the way of heaven. For this reason, the Marquis of the North Ming only warned his younger brother and was exempted from punishment. Brother Zhizhan is very gracious, and the younger brother will never dare to forget! ”
"Obediently boom, fried green onions in lard! It turned out that 'Ziwei Gege' committed suicide, and encouraged Lao Tzu to kill 'Bumping into ghosts', but he couldn't kill him, this is all his mother's 'providence'? Hey...... Heaven is unfair! Heaven is unfair! Zhan Zhizhan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Alas...... Brother Pei Gong is fine! What do our brothers say the word 'thanks'? It's just that the brother pretends to be smart, and he is afraid that Brother Pei is not entangled around him, and he suffers from hunger and cold on the way to the 'evil prisons' thousands of miles away from Luo Yu Mountain. Laugh! Laugh! ”
Qiao 18 gave Zhan Zhi Zhan a deep look and said, "The gold and silver sent by Brother Zhi Zhan has been received, and the little brother is ashamed!" Here, I have thanked Brother Zhizhan for giving gold and silver, and giving away the virtue of entanglement. It's just that the younger brother didn't go to the 'evil prisons' of Luo Yu Mountain, so he doesn't have to be entangled so much. The younger brother has become a habit of being poor, and there is no place to use this lot of gold and silver, and with the permission of the Northern Immortal Hou, the younger brother has given these gold and silver to those lonely souls and wild ghosts who are hungry and cold, and are trapped on the road to death. Those lonely souls and wild ghosts got the help of Brother Zhizhan, and they no longer endured hunger and cold, and they had entanglement, so they could go on the road to die. On behalf of those lonely souls and wild ghosts, thank you Brother Zhizhan, Brother Zhizhan has a lot of merit! ”
Qiao XVIII's words were not an exaggeration. Excluding the ghosts who have fallen into the "Hungry Ghost Path", most of the ghosts whose families have not burned paper money and cannot die in the bardo state are also starving. Especially the ghosts who are on the way to death, because they are not entangled, they can't get a little bit of entanglement along the road, and the lonely ghosts who ask for "money to buy the road" delay the time of reincarnation, and it is not a great thing to become a lonely ghost again. This is all because there is no social security system in the prefecture, and even Tang Taizong You Yin Cao was blocked by the ghosts and ghosts to ask for money. It's a pity that Judge Cui can't help it, remembering that "Hu Burning Paper" Sagara has thirteen treasury of silver in the underworld, and he came forward as a guarantee to borrow a treasury of silver from "Hu Burning Money" Sagara, so that Tang Taizong can deal with the grievances on the road before he has to get out.
Zhan Zhizhan was very happy, shook his head and smiled: "Don't be a!" Don't be a squirrel! How can a brother be virtuous, dare to make merit with a little effort? As long as everyone gives a little love, the Three Realms and Six Realms will all become non-thinking! ”
Zhan Zhizhan said nonsense, which made Qiao Eighteen stunned. After he and Shichiro glanced at each other, he saluted Zhan Zhan and said, "Brother Zhi Zhan is wise! The high argument made the younger brother suddenly open, improved the younger brother's understanding, and refined the younger brother's cultivation! ”
After Qilang poured himself a bowl of Longbin wine, he said to Zhan Zhizhan: "Brother Zhizhan, Qiao Eighteen, this ghostly guy is telling the truth, not blindly welcoming Brother Zhizhan. Brother Zhizhan please take a closer look at the corner of this hotel! ”
Zhan Zhizhan's curiosity was great, and he hurriedly looked at it. I saw that the restaurant, which originally had two tables of diners, became quiet and lonely at some point, silently revealing an eerie taste. The hotel's fluorescent lamps seemed to be short-circuited, and from time to time a faint light flashed from the old yellow tubes. The light was a little strange, sometimes white, sometimes yellow, sometimes green, always dull and matte. I don't know when, there are many pairs of eyes like Erha by the door, under the window, at the root of the wall, and at every corner of the hotel. Zhan Zhizhan saw that his heart was a little hairy, and then he opened his "Demon Appreciation True Eyes" and looked at it intently, it turned out that there were a group of ghosts kneeling in front and back, left and right.
Qiao 18 waved his hand at Zhan Zhizhan and said: "These lonely souls and wild ghosts have been blessed by Brother Zhizhan's food, and they have been entangled in their lives, and their wishes have been fulfilled, so they specially came to thank Brother Zhizhan." Please don't excuse Brother Zhizhan! ”
Qiao Eighteen said this, and raised his hand. The demons fell to the ground and bowed to Zhan Zhizhan. Gradually, these ghosts dispersed. Zhan Zhizhan was creepy, like a dream, he sighed faintly, and muttered in his stomach: "Alas...... Pan sky and earth, mixed yin and yang. There can be no one in the world, and no one in the earth. Ghosts are sometimes human, and sometimes people become ghosts. Ghosts have righteous qi as gods, clear qi as immortals, ethereal qi as Buddhas, and evil and unrighteous qi as charms. ”
Zhan Zhizhan was sighing, and Qilang said to Qiao Eighteen: "Our family also has a matter, and the annoying envoy helps!" ”
Qiao Eighteen was startled, and even said "Don't dare", Qilang raised his hand to stop him, and then talked about the Xingtian who had met one of the "Ten Evil Gods" and told Qilang that Qilang's enemies in his previous life had reappeared in the world, which might not be conducive to Qilang and Zhan Zhizhan. Shichiro searched the Netherworld, but unfortunately there was no definite news. Qilang went to ask the Psychic Divine Beast Venerable of Cuiyun Palace, but the Psychic Divine Beast Venerable smiled and did not answer, only saying, 'Very good'! ”
Zhan Zhizhan saw that Qiao Eighteen frowned and said nothing, knowing that he really didn't know about it. With Qiao Eighteen's ability, he didn't know where Qilang's enemies in his previous life were hiding? Zhan Zhizhan had a hint and said, "Brother Pei, Brother Yan's biggest enemy in his previous life was none other than the traitor Pan Renmei. It's just that Pan Renmei, a traitor, has nothing to do with her brothers, so why should she be unfavorable to her brothers? ”
"Bingxu Yongxi's three-year school inspector, Tongping Zhangshi Pan Renmei?" Joe Eighteen's sweat came down. He didn't mean to be pretentious, but he really didn't know when Pan Renmei, the inspector of the school and Tongping Zhangshi in the third year of Bingxu Yongxi, that is, Shichiro's rival in his previous life, was reincarnated in the port. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Qiao Eighteen was derelict in his duties.
Qiao 18 hurriedly bowed to Qilang and said: "Qiqi Shangxian, the reincarnation of Pan Renmei, the three-year inspector of Bingxu Yongxi, and the reincarnation of Pan Renmei, the secretary of Tongping Zhangshi, I really don't know. If Pan Renmei has indeed been reincarnated, there must be a record. Pray to the immortals to forgive the small ones, forgive the small ones for a few days, and wait for the small ones to find out before making a pray. ”
As for why Pan Renmei couldn't get along with Zhan Zhizhan after being reincarnated, Qiao Eighteen really didn't know. He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother Zhizhan, people's hearts are subtle, people's hearts are ghosts, and ghosts come from people's hearts. The simplicity of human nature is also subtle; Human affection is also lonely. The husband is subtle, and the original is also revealed; The lonely person sees the end also. It is the old gentleman who respects loneliness and prudence. ”
Qiao Eighteen's drag, Qilang didn't understand a word, blinked his eyes and wanted to damage Qiao Eighteen, and swallowed back a few words. Zhan Zhizhan was also half-chattering when he heard it, only knowing that the first half of Qiao Eighteen was saying that people were unpredictable, and admonished Zhan Zhizhan not to trust others easily. Human beings live in a material society, and they always have to face the world with certain expressions and characteristics. Because of the materialism of society, there are some people who are often full of hypocrisy, and you can never know whether a person's goodness or malice comes from nature. The second half of what Qiao 18 said seems to be quoting a passage from Xu Gan's "Zhonglun • Faxiang" during the Wei and Jin dynasties, which is a bit obscure. But Zhan Zhizhan believes that Qiao Eighteen is by no means pretentious, hehe, faintly subtle, meaning beyond words!
Zhan Zhizhan nodded, and said vaguely: "What Brother Pei said is very true! You can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people! People's hearts are cold and thin, and they know their own warmth and coldness. If life is only as first seen, what is the autumn wind and sad fan. Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, but old hearts are changeable. ”
When Zhan Zhizhan said this, his mind moved, and he said: "Brother Pei, my brother has a reluctant request, I don't know if I can say it?" ”
After Qiao Eighteen said a few polite words, Zhan Zhizhan asked about the situation of "Ziwei Gege" in the underworld.
Qiao 18 said: "Lin's crape myrtle Yangshou should be ninety-six years old, and he will die well. Lin's crape myrtle is unable to die or return to her hometown due to her unfinished lifespan and trespassing into the underworld. Wandering around all day long, shouting injustices everywhere, he became a lonely ghost and a wild ghost. The Marquis of the Northern Underworld took pity on him and settled the Lin crape myrtle in the City God Temple, so as not to accumulate his resentment and turn into a powerful ghost and harm people. The Marquis of the North Ming has told the Emperor of Beiyin that he plans to escort the ghost of Lin's crape myrtle to Huating and hand it over to Cui Guangnai, the Donghu public prisoner of Huating City God's Temple, so that Lin's crape myrtle can sell flowers at the bridge head of Waibai Ferry for a living. When the Lin crape myrtle Yang Shou is over, it will be judged by the Ten Palaces Yan Jun and reincarnated! ”
'Selling flowers?' Ziwei Gege has become a flower girl! What kind of flowers are sold? It can't be the flower of the other side! After muttering in Zhan Zhizhan for a while, he sighed and said, "Alas...... Brother Pei, Lin's crape myrtle died unjustly, and my brother always felt that he could do something for Lin's crape myrtle's soul, and his conscience was peaceful. ”
Qiao Eighteen shook his head and said, "Ghost Dao beings also have their own creations, and so is Lin's crape myrtle, and the by-Dao beings can't help. I wonder if Brother Zhizhan knows the story of "Mu Qianlian Saves His Mother"? ”
The story of "Moggallan Saves His Mother" is from "The Buddha Says the Bon Sutra", which is a famous Buddhist story. It is about the Venerable Moggallan who saw his deceased mother fall into the path of hungry ghosts and suffer with the eyes of heaven, her throat was as small as a needle, and her skin and bones were connected together. Mu Qianlian's filial piety was born spontaneously, and he filled the food in a bowl and fed the old mother with the power of supernatural powers. But his mother had not eaten the food, and the food turned into coals in her hands, and she could not eat or drink. Moggallan pleaded with the Buddha for a wonderful way to free his mother from the suffering of hungry ghosts. Under the guidance of the Buddha, Moggallan made offerings to the holy monks on his own day, and his mother was freed from the suffering of hungry ghosts on that day.
Zhan Zhizhan immediately understood what Qiao Eighteen meant, and said to Qiao Eighteen: "Brother Xie Pei's teachings! Brother has no teeth to forget! Zhan Zhizhan sighed, frowned, thought about it, and said, "Brother Pei, brother still has something that I don't know, I don't know if to talk about it?" ”
Qiao Eighteen and Qilang glanced at each other and said, "Brother Zhizhan, but it's okay to say it!" ”
Zhan Zhizhan looked at Qiao Eighteen with a pleading face, and said, "The ground bag bully 'bumped into a ghost' has recently added a Dongying samurai named Kazuo Harada. To tell you the truth, the brother failed to kill the 'bumping ghost' because he was defeated by the knife of Kazuo Harada. ”
Then, Zhan Zhizhan described to Qiao Eighteen the appearance of Harada Kazuo's original god. Although Qiao 18 didn't know where Pan Renmei was reincarnated, he knew that Harada Kazuo was possessed by the foreign ghost "Sakai Chana". Sakai Chana has strong abilities, and when she is harmed by the world, she often turns into a handsome teenager to seduce girls who don't know the world. Because Sakai Chana is a foreign ghost, before the evil deeds are revealed, the city god temple in the port is not easy to lock.
After Qiao 18 introduced the origin of Harada Kazuo, he smiled and said to Zhan Zhizhan: "Brother Zhizhan, riding a strange horse, Zhang Longbow, Qin Se Pipa Eight Kings, Wang Wang is on top, and Shan Ge fights." ”
Zhan Zhizhan comprehended, and smiled at Qiao Eighteen: "The four little ghosts, the four little ghosts, the ghosts and ghosts, take it together." ”
