Du Si believed that it was true, so he followed the request of the wizard and mobilized some bold people to light incense and candles by the pond and let the wizard do it.

After everything was ready, the wizard was wearing a soap-bottomed gossip robe, a "∧" soap hat, holding a peachwood sword in his left hand, reciting a spell that no one could understand, shaking the magic bell in his right hand, and after pretending to walk around the edge of the pond for three weeks, he stopped and said in front of everyone: "It turns out that this thing is the youngest son of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the South China Sea, and my mana can only subdue ordinary demons, but I can't control the dragon species." But I've made a deal with it to make sure it's safe. ”

Du Si asked urgently: "What agreement?" Come quickly. ”

The sorcerer said, "Usually give it two fat animals every month; During the Dragon Boat Festival every year, a boy and a girl should be sent to serve the little dragon, and it will no longer come out to harm people and animals in the future. ”

After hearing this, Du Si thought that although two children and more than 20 livestock should be sacrificed every year, the disasters of the people in each village could be greatly reduced, so according to the opinions of the sorcerers, it was decided that before the Dragon Boat Festival every year, the boys and girls who would worship Xiaolong would be decided according to the method of drawing lots in turn in the village, and the animals offered each month would be given to the village in turn.

Besides, three days before the Dragon Boat Festival this year, the lottery happened to draw the son of the owner of Longzhai.

The owner of Longzhai gave birth to such a precious son when he was more than half a hundred years old. Seeing that the day after tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, his son is about to be pushed down the pool to feed the demon snake......

When he was about to say goodbye to life and death, the whole family hugged each other and cried loudly, and at this moment, Liang Yaocai, who came to be a guest and lived in Tianlu Mountain, saw it......

Liang Yaocai saw that the whole family of the owner of Longzhai was crying so sadly as if he had lost a relative, so he stepped forward and asked with concern: "Master Longzhai, why is the whole family crying so sadly?" ”

When the lord of Longzhai asked, with tears in his eyes, he told Liang Yaocai the truth of the matter.

After hearing this, Liang Yaocai comforted: "Lord of Longzhai, you don't have to be sad, I will take you to Brother Aneng, there is a way to subdue this demon snake and harm the people." ”

After Liang Yaocai finished speaking, he didn't bother to take a sip of water, so he hurriedly took the master of Longzhai to the residence of the sixth ancestor Huineng's mother and son.

At this time, the sixth ancestor Huineng and his mother were catching insects in the tea field in front of the Shimen thatched house.

When the lord of Longzhai saw the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, he quickly rushed forward, "pounced", knelt in front of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, knocked his head three times, and gasped and said: "Brother Aneng, please go and save the people in our village and my precious son......"

Sixth Ancestor Huineng hurriedly stepped forward to help the master of Longzhai up, and said, "Lord of Longzhai, don't be like this, say something slowly." ”

So, with tears in his eyes, the lord of Longzhai told the sixth ancestor Huineng's mother and son about this request for help and the reason for the incident.

After hearing this, the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng was indignant in his heart, and said indignantly: "There are such strange things in the world, that Heavenly Dusi actually listened to the words of the wizard, and every year he used two children and more than 20 animals to worship the demon dragon, it was extremely confused!" ”

Li remembered that the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng had eliminated the water monster and subdued the tiger in the past, and he would definitely be able to subdue this demon dragon this time, so he said: "Neng'er, since the lord of the dragon village has come to beg you, the matter is very important, you might as well go to investigate, understand the truth, and do your best to subdue the demon dragon and eliminate harm for the people." ”

The lord of the dragon village bowed deeply to the Li clan and said, "Aunt, you are really the incarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves suffering, and here, on behalf of my family and the people in the village, I thank you. ”

Li Shi didn't care about talking politely to the lord of Longzhai, and said anxiously, "Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, Lord Longzhai, your family and the whole family of that virgin, the family must be worried now, maybe the Dusi Yacha has taken people away." Neng'er, you hurry up and go with the master of Longzhai to resolve this disaster. ”

Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng looked at the Li family and said, "Okay! Mother, I will go with the master of Longzhai. ”

When he was about to go out, the sixth ancestor Hui Neng remembered that the lord of Longzhai had mentioned that this demon snake was born from the dragon species of the heavens, and it would be difficult to subdue it on his own, so he turned back to the village, took out the cloth bag hidden in the hole, took out the golden bowl and hid it in his arms, and went to Tiantianping with the lord of Longzhai and Liang Yaocai.

When he came to Heaven Ping Village, the Lord of Longzhai pointed to the blue brick house nearby with a stunned expression, and said, "Brother Aneng, it's time to come to my house." ”

The Sixth Ancestor Huineng and Liang Yaocai followed the Dragon Village Lord into the courtyard in front of the big house.

The owner of Longzhai entered the hall and saw his father, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, aunt and other relatives and elderly villagers in the village in the hall, and they were crying bitterly and tearfully.

Seeing this, Liang Yaocai raised his hands and said loudly: "Uncles and aunts, relatives and friends! Please be quiet, listen to me, you don't have to be sad and sad, today, the lord of Longzhai invited the powerful man who subdued the demon snake, and the boys and girls in your village have been saved! ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately fell silent, and they all turned their eyes to Liang Yaocai.

Liang Yaocai said loudly: "Relatives and friends! The person who your village owner invited to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger is right in front of him, he is a relative of my eldest brother Yaocheng's family, Brother Aneng......"

When everyone heard Liang Yaocai say this, they couldn't help but turn their eyes to the sixth ancestor Huineng.

The sixth ancestor Huineng bowed his hand to everyone, and comforted the daughter-in-law of the lord of Longzhai: "Auntie, please don't cry, my name is Ah Neng, go and surrender the demon snake tomorrow, your son will not have to throw himself into the pool, and the villagers will not have to worry about living a life." ”

The next morning, under the guidance of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Hui Neng and the local people came to the edge of the deep pool, and the master of the dragon village raised a jar of wine prepared for them in advance and drank it all.

The Sixth Ancestor Huineng said to the Dragon Village Lord with a calm demeanor: "Dragon Village Lord, I fought with the demon snake this time, if the demon snake is successful, even if I do a good thing for you, I don't want you to pay anything; If the demon snake refuses to accept it, or I am buried in the belly of the snake, I am willing. If this is the case, you can mobilize the masses to fill this deep pool and let the demon snake lose its nest from which to do evil. ”

As the Sixth Ancestor Huineng was talking, suddenly a pair of bright eyes shot out two dazzling beams, and a giant python as big as a tank surfaced, stretched out its snake head, and opened its bloody mouth, which made the onlookers tremble.

It's too late, it's too fast, the sixth ancestor Hui Neng didn't let the demon snake inhale and exert his might, picked up a fist-sized stone casually, and slammed it towards the throat of the demon snake with a "bang".

The demon snake was hit in the head, pounced in the air, and suddenly shrank into the pool.

The Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng jumped into the pool and chased after him......

The bottomless pool immediately sounded like thunder, stirred over the river and the sea, the water splashed everywhere, the usual green and green pool water, suddenly became muddy and turbid, the six ancestors Hui Neng because of the Zen mantle to protect the body, the demon snake can not get close, struggle in vain.

And the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng couldn't bear to kill, and tried to subdue the demon snake with his bare hands.

This demon snake is not an idle person, how can he be caught?

The Sixth Ancestor Huineng and the demon snake fought from morning to evening, still regardless of victory or defeat, and temporarily retreated to find another way to kill the demon.

That night, the demon snake ran into an opponent, and after a day of fighting, it was exhausted and did not dare to rashly go out of the pool to do evil.

That night, the Sixth Patriarch Hui Neng and the owner of the Dragon Village, Liang Yaocai, Long Zhongbiao, Li Yihu and several other well-informed and courageous people in the village gathered in the meeting room of the village to study the method of eliminating demons, and I also participated in it.

After the Sixth Ancestor Huineng told everyone present about the process of diving into the deep pool and fighting the demon snake during the day, his bright eyes swept through the conference hall, and said in an inquiring tone: "Everyone, do you have a plan to subdue the demon snake?" ”

The people present saw that the Sixth Ancestor Hui Neng asked them about their plans, and they all looked at each other.

For a long time, I only heard the lord of Longzhai sigh "sigh", and then said helplessly, "Brother Aneng, your kindness, all of us in the village have understood it, if even you can't do anything, you will let me cut my love and throw my precious son into the deep pool." ”

Sixth Ancestor Huineng waved his hand, and said in a firm tone: "Master of Longzhai, how can you give up like this!" It's not that I can't kill it, I just can't bear to kill it, and I just want to submit it! ”

"Brother Aneng, tomorrow I will go to the deep pool with you to help you!" Long Zhongbiao patted his chest and said.

"Brother Aneng, count me in!" Li Yihu also didn't admit it.

I secretly attached myself to the ear of the Sixth Ancestor Huineng, and said something like this.

When Sixth Ancestor Huineng heard this, he clapped his hands with his hands and said, "Good plan!" Good plan!! ”

"What's the plan?!" The crowd asked.
