Outside Hongyin Temple, under the shadow of old trees.

The middle-aged man looked at his sister and nephew with pity, withdrew his swaddling hand, and continued to tell:

"I was born in Li Mansion, Anmi County, named Li Chengwu, my father runs a chamber of commerce, and the family is quite well-off, and my sister's name is Li Jingshu, and she married the eldest son of Lord Zhang, the county government a year ago."

"Originally, the two families were quite harmonious, but my poor nephew, Xiuwen, everything changed the moment the third eye mark appeared at the center of his eyebrows."

"Zhang Zhushu was forced by pressure from all sides to choose to give up the child, and my sister's useless husband didn't dare to say a word, so he should acquiesce."

"I can't bear my nephew to be so young, and before I can appreciate the beauty of the world, I was gouged out by the eye demon and killed, so at the behest of my sister, I took her and my nephew to escape from Anmi County overnight, and went to Hongyin Temple, it is said that there are high monks and great virtues in Hongyin Temple, I think, the eye demon should not dare to come here."

"That's how it happened before and after, Daoist Wanwang took pity on my nephew and saved his life!"

The middle-aged man Li Chengwu knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily, while the woman Li Jingshu also knelt on the ground with the child, she supported the ground with one hand and held the child with the other, constantly kowtowing and bursting into tears.

"Get up first." Wang Changsheng frowned, he was really not used to being kowtowed like this, and he felt very uncomfortable: "Drought, eye demon, messenger of the dragon king, tribute ......"

He rubbed his chin, thinking about the connections implied in these messages, trying to find clues to the body of the eye demon, and after a while, he looked at Li Chengwu, who was still kowtowing: "Hurry up, or I won't pay attention to this matter anymore." ”

Li Chengwu and Li Jingshu's bodies trembled when they heard this, and then they hurriedly got up.

Seeing this, Wang Changsheng nodded with satisfaction and asked, "Before the Eye Demon appeared, did anything unusual happen in your Anmi County?" ”

Judging from the current information, it can only be known that the existence of the Eye Demon is related to rainfall, but only knowing this, it is difficult to lock down its body.

"Some time ago, I went to other counties to buy rice and grain, and I really don't know about it." Li Chengwu's face was bitter.

"I know a little bit about this." At this moment, a gentle and generous voice came from not far away.

Several people followed the prestige, only to see a middle-aged monk wearing a wide gray robe and a big belly standing at the gate of Hongyin Temple, with a faint smile on his face.

"Uncle Shi." When the sweeping novice saw the pot-bellied monk, he hurriedly folded his hands and saluted, his eyes full of reverence.

"Mingxin, you go back to the temple first, and these donors will be received by the old man." The pot-bellied monk said with a smile.

"Yes." After the novice saluted, he hurriedly left.

"Amitabha, the donors are polite, the old man's name is 'Deyuan', the distinguished guests are coming, and there is no welcome from afar, please forgive me." The big-bellied monk stepped forward, his warm gaze swept over Li Chengwu and the four of them, and finally fell on Wang Changsheng's body, and solemnly saluted:

"Dare to ask where your friend is?"

"It turned out to be Master Deyuan, I think you are the great monk in their mouth, in the lower king of Changsheng, under the teacher of Longhu Mountain." Wang Changsheng made a gesture.

The monk in front of him gave him a faint sense of pressure, thinking that the realm should be above him, but he didn't know if it was the middle stage of Bigu or the late stage of Bigu.

"What kind of high monks and great virtues are just the reputation of the villagers." Master Deyuan sighed slightly: "It's the Taoist friend who is a high merit of Longhu Mountain, and the future is unlimited, not comparable to my old monk who has half of his body in the ground." ”

The master laughed. Wang Changsheng shook his head and ended the business mutual praise: "You seem to have no opinion on the matter of the 'eye demon'?" ”

"I can't talk about opinions, I just know some other information." Master Deyuan sighed: "The matter of the eye demon in Anmi County, Lao Gao also has a lot of attention, this is not a place to talk, Zhang Daoyou, a few donors, please talk to Lao Gu in the temple again." ”

"Thank you, Master." Li Chengwu's brothers and sisters were overjoyed.

They didn't expect that the "great monks" of Hongyin Temple would take the initiative to appear in front of them, and it seemed that they were willing to provide them with shelter, how could this not make the two of them ecstatic.

Of course, they also know very well that all this is thanks to the "young Taoist" beside them.

Otherwise, they are mortals, how can they make Master Deyuan deign to appear?

……

Under the leadership of Master Deyuan, the group walked into the temple.

Hongyin Temple is not glorious, and all the lacquered pillars have faded, but this does not hinder its longevity and heaviness.

Under the shroud of hazy morning mist, Hongyuan Temple is like a silhouette floating on the clouds, which seems to be extremely silent and solemn.

Early in the morning into the ancient temple, the first sun shines on the high forest.

The bamboo path leads to the secluded place, and the flowers and trees in the meditation room are deep.

When Master Deyuan led a few people to a quiet meditation room, Wang Changsheng couldn't help but think of such a verse.

Sitting down at the round wooden table in the meditation room, Master Deyuan poured a cup of tea for Wang Changsheng, Li Chengwu and Li Jingshu, and the two guards were standing outside waiting at the moment.

"The mountain temple is bitter, I only have a cup of coarse tea, and I ask Taoist friends not to blame." Master Deyuan smiled.

"Where." Wang Changsheng shook his head, however, he didn't go to the hot tea before leaving, but looked directly at the big-bellied monk: "Master, I'm a straight person, so I won't beat around the bush." ”

"What else do you know about the Eye Demon, please let me know."

"Daoyou is quick to talk, it is indeed chic, so the old man will not drag the mud and water." Master Deyuan put down the teacup in his hand: "The appearance of the eye demon and what happened afterward, the two donors have already said it comprehensively, and the old man has nothing to add." ”

"It's that before the Eye Demon Rebellion, there was a strange thing in Anmi County, and the old man can talk to Daoyou."

"Listen up." Wang Changsheng listened carefully, and Li Chengwu and Li Jingshu on the side also pricked up their ears.

didn't sell it, Master Deyuan said in a calm tone:

"There is a down-and-out scholar in Anmi County, named Zhu Zixian, who sells paintings for a living, and he has a daughter, whose name is Qiaomei."

"As for the scholar's wife, she died after giving birth to a sister for the scholar."

"A father and a daughter depend on each other, fortunately, the scholar is exquisite in painting, and he is also well-known in Anmi County, but the life of the father and daughter is not poor."

Although Zhu Zixian has repeatedly failed to make the list, he has the heart and has not been defeated by setbacks. He put more energy into his paintings, which also made his painting more and more exquisite, when Li Xiuwen and Li Lao passed by, after seeing Zhu Zixian's paintings, he was full of praise. ”

"Li Xiuwen, Master Li?" Wang Changsheng repeated the name in a tone.

He'd heard the name.

From the mouth of the official Zhao Li.

In the past, the reason why Zhang Caili had the reputation of "Pear Fairy Girl" was precisely because of this Li Xiuwen and Li Lao.
