The sky is wide with floating clouds. After Zhang Shaofei said goodbye, he came to a Huixing Temple in Hubei on this day.

Zhang Shaofei saw the flags hanging high on the high flagpole of Huixing Temple, waving in the wind, and his heart was excited. He knew that the banners in the monastery were raised and the ribbons of color were fluttering, indicating that there were major Dharma activities. Today, the banner is raised, which means that there are senior monks in the temple to preach.

Zhang Shaofei followed the endless flow of people and slowly walked into the Huixu Temple. In the Huixing Temple, on the ring platform in the temple, a teenage novice knelt down to a Bodhi tree and bowed, with a solemn and solemn expression.

On this day, the sun is shining, the smoke is blowing slightly, and the cicadas are singing on the tall Bodhi tree at the temple gate.

There are a lot of people who come to pray in Huixing Temple, and the flow of people is like a carp. Inside and outside the main hall, cigarettes curled and candles were in full bloom.

Zhang Shaofei came to Huixing Temple from Jiming Mountain, and saw that the donors who came to the temple were all full of sadness.

An old man with flowing hair had just finished entering the incense and walked out of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, Zhang Shaofei clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, good!" Wonderful! May I ask the donor, what is going on here that makes you so worried? ”

The old man's name was Wang Boxing, and he was a respected local patriarch.

Wang Boxing sighed, raised his hand to the outside, and said, "Don't you know, during this time, a dragon came out of nowhere, hidden in the deep pool in front of the temple. ”

Seeing Zhang Shaofei talking to the old patriarch, many pilgrims immediately surrounded him.

Zhang Shaofei smiled and said: "There is a way for the tiger to follow the wind, and the dragon to follow the cloud." It's not a bad thing that this dragon is here. ”

Wang Boxing's eyes flashed with indignation: "But this dragon believes that his magic skills are superb, and he is making waves and doing many evils here. ”

Zhang Shaofei was taken aback: "Ah, there is such a thing? Donor, I would like you to explain it in detail. ”

Wang Boxing complained: "Many of the livestock in our village have been devoured by this dragon. Wang Boxing's expression was gloomy, "There are countless victims from near and far. Not to mention, it tore off the roof of my house, and when it rained, my whole family could not be at peace. ”

Zhang Shaofei's expression was solemn: "In this way, this dragon is really hateful. ”

At this time, several monks who protected the temple walked not far from Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei stepped forward and said, "The people outside the temple have suffered from that evil dragon, as a monk of the courtyard, why don't you come forward and subdue it?" ”

A warrior monk named Shi Ruwu looked depressed after making a big salute: "Two days ago, I once led more than a dozen brothers, armed with weapons, to the edge of the deep pool, waiting for the rabbit and waiting for the evil dragon to appear. But when the dragon suddenly emerged from the deep pool, the sky was surrounded by dark clouds, lightning and thunder, wind and rain, and fierce winds. Before we could come forward to reason, the evil dragon became fierce and aggressive, and blew down several big trees by the pool. We were also blown to and fro by the wind, unable to stand and unable to get close to its side. So our swords, guns, swords, and halberds are all useless. ”

The other warrior monks had palpitations when they shouted, and their voices trembled: "Yes, the tail of the evil dragon flicked, and the sound was strange and terrifying. If we had fled more slowly that day, we would have been swept into the pool by the tail of the dragon. ”

Zhang Shaofei blinked and said, "Then, do you just let it do evil." ”

Shi Ruwu sighed helplessly: "Donor, we have discussed for a long time and have no good plan, and our Taoism alone cannot match that evil dragon." I don't know if you have a way to subdue the dragon. ”

Other warrior monks: "Yes, this problem is waiting for you to solve. ”

Zhang Shaofei turned to Wang Boxing: "There are many hunters nearby, of course they will not be willing to suffer from them." Haven't you thought of a good way to deal with it? ”

Wang Boxing also sighed and said: "The villagers were so angry that they once organized more than a dozen hunters, lined up in arrays, and ambushed around the deep pool, waiting for the evil dragon to emerge from the deep pool and shoot it with a row of arrows. Unexpectedly, those dense sharp arrows shot into the dragon's body, and all of them were bounced into the pool, and they couldn't hurt its skin and scales. ”

A young pilgrim next to him acclaimed, "That day, the evil dragon was enraged, and its long chant was louder than thunder, and it chased after us. We were so frightened that we lost our bows and arrows and ran away desperately. ”

Another middle-aged pilgrim took over: "Fortunately, we escaped quickly and hid in the temple, so that the evil dragon did not dare to chase into the temple." Otherwise, we would have lost even this life. ”

After Zhang Shaofei fixed his eyes and pondered, he said, "It seems that this is an unusual dragon. ”

Wang Boxing saluted and pleaded: "Seeing that no one can deal with it, the evil dragon has become more and more arrogant, and now it is even more fearless to come out and do evil at any time. We hate it to the core, but we can't help it. So, we all came to the temple to offer incense and pray for peace. Seeing that you are dignified and profound, I hope you can go out in person and find a way to subdue the dragon and return a peaceful and peaceful living environment to my people. ”

"Yes, donor, it's up to you to get rid of that evil dragon." Shi Ruwu echoed and said.

Zhang Shaofei's face was serious, and he said: "It is our duty to eliminate harm for the people and relieve the people." Rest assured, I should do my duty to ensure the peace of the land and water. ”

Wang Boxing's eyes lit up: "I hope you will eliminate the harm for us as soon as possible." ”

The pilgrims gathered around all spoke out one after another, begging Zhang Shaofei to sweep away this scourge for them.

It was dusk, the magnificent sunset was full of sky, a layer of gold was smeared on the large and small halls, and the Huixing Temple was solemn in the splendor.

Zhang Shaofei took out the big red robe given by the old monk from his backpack and put it on, took the golden bowl in his hand to the deep pool outside the temple, sat on a big stone, burned incense and prayed, and recited words.

At this time, the pond water is a Hongping Lake, which is dark green and bottomless.

Soon, bursts of bubbles rose in the calm deep pool, a cold wind blew, "grunt", a white light rose to the sky, and a white dragon came up from the bottom of the pool, the dragon scales flashed, glowing with silver light. It spewed at Zhang Shaofei with its wide nostrils, opening its teeth and claws, and looking extremely fierce.

Zhang Shaofei saw Jiaolong emerge from the water and made a provocative appearance, but he was not surprised by the change, and shouted: "Evil dragon, Hugh is rampant!" ”

Jiaolong was stunned, and his round eyes stared at Zhang Shaofei.

Zhang Shaofei calmly clasped his hands together and shouted, "Amitabha." Wonderful! Wonderful! ”

Knowing that Zhang Shaofei was going to the deep pool to subdue the dragon, some bold people hid behind the big tree far away, stretched out their heads to peek at the excitement, and now they saw such a big dragon suddenly appearing in the deep pool, and they were so frightened that their feet were weak, trembling, and they grabbed the trees with both hands, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Jiaolong saw that the person was sitting on the edge of the pool in a big red robe, but he was not panicked in the face of his own troubles, his expression was calm, he felt strange, and asked: "The people around me are trembling with fear when they see me, why do you see me as if nothing happened?" ”

Zhang Shaofei clasped his hands together and replied with a straight face: "Amitabha, the heart is selfless and the world is wide, there is no evil in my heart, and everything in front of me is not evil." So, where does fear come from? ”

Jiaolong said: "Ah, it is really a terrifying afterlife, and his words are extraordinary." ”
