Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Enlightened Monk Who Repels Insects and Beasts
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.
Su Xiaolou and the others boarded the big boat to Luzhou Mansion overnight, at this time, the team escorting the fat old man and the old Taoist priest almost also got on the boat, there are many demon sect henchmen, and there may not be many dreams at night, and there are many people, Lei Zhenfu still decided to escort the prisoner back to the prison of the Nanjing Criminal Department.
Su Xiaolou sat on the bow of the boat blowing the wind, thinking hard about how to catch the demon demon of the Great Thanksgiving Temple, the blind man got up from sleep in a daze, Su Xiaolou said quietly: "This is the upwind." The frightened blind man held back half of his life and went to the stern.
After a while, Zhou Baihu also came out, the cabin space is not large, they brought more than 50 people this time, naturally not enough to live, all of them are men, snoring loudly, I don't know that there is a symphony band hidden in the cabin, grinding teeth, farting is a lot, Zhou Baihu is not used to it, so he accompanied Su Xiaolou to blow the river breeze on the bow of the boat.
"Alas!" The two sighed in understanding.
"I'm worried about how to catch the demon sect demon of the Great Thanksgiving Temple, Zhou Baihu, what are you worried about?"
"I'm worried that you haven't thought of how to catch the demon cult demon yet."
"I thank you for caring about me so much, I'm too difficult, this demon sect demon is too good at hiding, this time I can only catch it secretly, give me ten guts, I don't dare to bring people to rush in, that's the Great Thanksgiving Temple."
The Great Thanksgiving Temple is the head of the White Temple, it is built by Zhu Di of Ming Chengzu to commemorate Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma of Ming Taizu, even the inscription is written by Zhu Zhanji, Emperor Xuande, singing the merits of Ming Taizu, Ming Chengzu and Ming Renzong, it is the largest and highest temple in Chinese history.
Even if Lei Zhen's envoy came, he didn't dare to go in and arrest people easily, and if he didn't do it well, he would be involved in a book by the officials, and if the bandits were not finished, the people would be gone.
"Zhou Baihu, why don't you speak?"
Zhou Baihu said depressedly: "I don't know how to answer your words." ”
"For the sake of us working together so many times, I want you to have a universal response to the golden sentence, and when others say how he has been doing recently, you can say that he is a person! What do others say, you can change your life! You don't know how to say these two words when someone else. ”
Zhou Baihu's eyes lit up, which solved a major problem in his life, and he often felt depressed because he didn't know how to answer others' words.
"Zhou Baihu, when did you say that people are the most vulnerable."
"When you sleep."
Su Xiaolou raised his eyebrows and said, "No, it's the time to go up." Many celebrities in history died in the thatched latrine, and when the time came, we disguised ourselves as the guy who delivered the food, put chin beans in his meal, and then blocked the thatched house, ambushed around the thatched house, and when he was suffocated to the point of twisting, a set of sacks, thrown on the vegetable cart and pulled away. ”
Zhou Baihu couldn't believe his ears, this is a strategy that people can come up with? He asked, "Isn't this a bit too despicable and obscene?" ”
"Do you have a plan?"
"Nope."
"Then act according to the plan."
"Man!"
After a night of boating, Su Xiaolou and his party got off the boat at the ferry in the early morning, and it felt really good to be down-to-earth.
At noon, the group rested by a small river, found a place to eat and eat, and when they came back, they happened to see two little thieves sneakily pulling the reins of the horses, and saw them come back and smuggle away.
Before he could run a few steps, he was caught back, the two little thieves were too frightened to speak, and their small bodies were shaking uncontrollably when they knelt on the ground, Su Xiaolou went over and asked, "How old are you?" ”
"Fourteen."
"Fifteen."
"I entered this industry at such a young age, and I should become famous as soon as possible!"
Zhou Baihu looked at him with a soft heart: "It's still two children, why don't you let them go?" ”
"Fart!" Su Xiaolou said viciously: "Aren't children responsible for their own mistakes? If you dare to steal horses in your teens, dare to kill people and set fire to your twenties, dare to defect to the enemy and betray the country in your thirties, and don't you want to destroy the world in your forties? ”
“……”
"I'm going to cut off their legs and throw them out into the street and make them beg."
"Isn't that a bit ......?"
When the two little thieves heard this, they were so frightened that they hurriedly begged for mercy: "My lord, spare my life, we don't dare anymore, there are a lot of adults, let us go!" ”
Su Xiaolou felt that it was not enough, and then educated: "It's not good to do something at a young age, if you have to steal, you can't rely on your hard-working hands to support yourself, if you can't go to Qinglou to be a turtle slave, it's not a problem to feed." ”
The two little thieves repeatedly promised not to steal again, Su Xiaolou was angry, so he punished them and let them take their horses to the river to drink water and let them go, and the two little thieves left very gratefully.
Su Xiaolou and his entourage arrived in the afternoon to Luzhou Mansion, where they came to suppress the bandits, the Jinyi Guards who came here to suppress the bandits would be the leader of the Yan Baihu team, everyone had served in a yamen before, and they all knew each other, so there were not so many politeness, explaining the reason, they were busy with their own work, and they also said that if necessary, they would also fully cooperate.
When he first came to Luzhou Mansion, Su Xiaolou decided to inquire about the situation of the Great Thanksgiving Temple first, and come to a wave of secret visits, after all, knowing oneself and knowing the other can win all battles, and now he has a black eye, and he doesn't know anything.
Su Xiaolou gave full play to his nature as a street slicker, listening to music by the railing, tasting tea in the teahouse, being romantic in the green building, watching people quarrel on the street, and snatching sugar gourds from children in small alleys.
He inquired that there was a master of the Qi (qí) domain in the Great Thanksgiving Temple who came from the Western Regions many years ago, and could use Buddhism to domesticate animals, and he heard that the villagers who went up the mountain to chop firewood once encountered a tiger, and the master of the senior domain stroked the tiger's head with his hand, and his lips moved slightly, and the tiger turned away, which was amazing.
This senior master preached scriptures to solve doubts, rescued suffering, and took on the heavy responsibility of preaching, often carrying a large number of scriptures to and from the Western Regions and the Central Plains, promoting Buddhism, and was a high-ranking monk who was widely praised.
There has never been a perfect person in this world, and if you look closely, who is not unrecognizable, this senior domain master is very suspicious, and this course of action can do something.
After resting for one night, Su Xiaolou decided to visit this enlightened monk tomorrow to see if he could repel insects and control beasts as rumored.
……
In the early morning of the next day, Su Xiaolou and Zhou Baihu disguised themselves as vegetable farmers, pushed a cart full of seasonal vegetables, and entered the Great Thanksgiving Temple, while more than 50 Jinyi guards such as Xiucai and the blind man disguised themselves as pilgrims and entered the Great Thanksgiving Temple.
"Brother Su, we are vegetable farmers, what are you asking me to do with a snake?"
"Let the snake bite the Elder Domain, I want to see if he can summon this snake."
"Is this snake poisonous?"
"It's definitely not poisonous, let the snake bite the monk of the Great Thanksgiving Temple, can we still live? Even if he is a demon sect, he will be handed over to the imperial court. ”
