Shizhu Temple occupies a large area, and the female ghost is extremely cunning, and the monks have searched for a long time, but found nothing. Tomato △ □ Net ○--'.'

Just when everyone was helpless, a local story reminded them that Shizhu Temple had been built for more than a thousand years, which was not too long, and before that, it was once the residence of Shi Tao, a high-ranking official of the Mortal Empire.

It is said that Shi Tao has a daughter, named Xiaozhu, who has been smart and clever since she was a child, lively and cute, and when she grows up, she is even brighter and bright-eyed, slim and elegant, plus gentle and kind, good at female red, and has become a famous beauty.

One year, during the Lantern Festival, Xiaozhu and the maidservant secretly went out to enjoy the lanterns, and when they were having fun, they were targeted by several gangsters, and when they robbed people on the street, they were about to be arrested, and a sturdy man appeared in the sky, defeated the gangsters, and rescued the two daughters.

Xiaozhu was grateful, but also moved by the man, and the two began to have frequent private meetings.

Due to Xiaozhu's fame, many high-ranking officials and magnates in the empire brought huge bride prices to propose marriage to their sons, and the carriages and horses were endless...

Shi Tao was carefully selected and set a family business for Xiaozhu, but unexpectedly, Xiaozhu heard it, but categorically refused.

As a woman of the Mortal Empire, the family affairs were originally decided by her parents, and Xiaozhu's abnormal reaction made Shi Tao angry, and he tortured him strictly, but Xiaozhu didn't say a word.

Later, Shi Tao tortured Xiaozhu's maid again, and finally figured out the origin of the matter, and couldn't help but be furious, and immediately ordered the arrest of the sturdy man.

However, this person was very skilled, not only did he run away from all the people who came to arrest him, but also flew into Shifu, took Xiaozhu away, and the two eloped.

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, it seems that a lover will eventually become a family, Xiaozhu and the man have finally gotten rid of the shackles, and they can live a happy life.

Of course, things are far from being so simple, Xiaozhu has lived with the man for a while, and by chance, he finds out that he was deceived by the man.

At the Lantern Festival, he was rescued by him, in fact, it was a heroic drama written and directed by the man, the man instructed several gangsters to rob her and the little maid, and then he came forward to rescue, the means were simple and effective, and he successfully captured his heart.

But later, the gangsters got together with the man and boasted about it, which happened to be heard by Xiaozhu, which made her recognize the man's true face.

She felt heartbroken, although the wood was already in the boat, it was impossible to get along with the man anymore, so she tried to escape from the man and return to Shifu.

What Xiaozhu didn't expect was that due to his escape from marriage, Shi Tao's reputation was damaged, and those who failed to propose marriage collectively made a proposal to the emperor and asked to punish Shi Tao.

Shi Tao was soon dismissed from his official position, fell ill, and died soon after.

The entire Shifu people were gone, and all the property was divided by the subordinates, and when Xiaozhu came back, the Shifu was already a dilapidated image, and even the father's body was hastily buried and no one took care of it.

Xiaozhu saw this scene, the whole person was stunned, after crying, she fell ill, because no one took care of her, it didn't take long for Xiaozhu to die...

Hearing the ending of Shi Tao and Xiaozhu, many people couldn't help but burst into tears!

I hate the man who caused this ending.

Legend has it that after Xiaozhu's death, in the back garden of Shifu, there was a caryophyllus, and under the caryophyllum was the tomb of Shitao and Xiaozhu's father and daughter.

This matter was passed down by later generations, and as the stone mansion gradually became deserted, many years later, no one knew that this place was actually the residence of a high-ranking imperial official.

And thousands of years ago, the people of Zen Tao came here and built a Zen temple, because there is a very unique caryophyllus in the courtyard, so this temple is called Shizhu Temple.

Unexpectedly, thousands of years later, there was a female ghost kidnapping here, which made Chenchen associate this incident with this legend.

Could it be that this caryophyllus is the one in front of the tomb of Shi Tao and Xiaozhu father and daughter?

Lichen immediately investigated the caryophyllus in the temple, and after careful inspection, he finally found the clue.

After thousands of years of wind and rain, the bamboo spirit was actually produced, and the soul thread that prompted it to produce life is the resentment of the legendary little bamboo, which is extremely hateful to the strong man who does evil, so every time the bamboo spirit is dispatched, he will take the strong man from the outside and torture him in the bamboo space...

Most of these men are people who are doing evil in various places, picking flowers and looting, and getting rid of them is actually eliminating harm for the people.

However, some of the sins did not lead to death, and they were also eliminated by the bamboo spirits, and the number of missing people increased day by day, which made the surrounding areas panic and fluctuate.

During this period of time, there have been dozens of strong men who have been tortured to death by the bamboo spirit, and from the perspective of others, no matter how much Xiaozhu was wronged before, but the current situation, not only can she not get the sympathy of others, but will be considered the source of evil.

In addition, because the female ghost came from the Shizhu Temple, her behavior has also affected the reputation of the temple, if it were not for the excellent reputation of the Shizhu Temple, I am afraid that someone would have already come to the door to ask the teacher.

It can be said that Shizhu Temple is now extremely passive, if the bamboo spirit is allowed to continue to abduct strong men, the source of pilgrims in this temple is bound to dry up day by day, not only the relationship with the good men and women in the region is tense, but also affect their own practice.

And if you catch the bamboo spirit and bring her to justice, it is also contrary to the Mahayana Zen path that you have attained.

For them, in this matter, although they are victims and need to act to save themselves, the bamboo spirit transformed by Xiaozhu also needs to be saved, which is the truth of Mahayana Zen to help the world.

If they only care about getting rid of their bad reputation and capture the bamboo spirit and present it to the local government to deal with, the final outcome is probably that the government will send someone to destroy the caryophyllum attached to Xiaozhu, so that it cannot continue to cultivate, and it will not even have a place to live, let alone refining into a spirit life, she is very likely to even disappear the soul mark and become a real lonely soul and wild ghost.

Such an ending is naturally not what they want to see.

So, how can you save both the reputation of Shizhu Temple and this bamboo spirit?

After thinking about it for a long time, they still couldn't figure out what to do, and then they asked Master Zhida here.

Master Zhida carefully studied the matter and found that the key to it was the wisp of resentment of the bamboo spirit.

Only by resolving this wisp of resentment can the bamboo spirit cultivate with peace of mind and become a real spirit life, otherwise, this wisp of resentment will eventually affect the transformation of the bamboo spirit, and at the same time, it will also push Shizhu Temple to the land of no return.

And the best way to dispel this resentment is, of course, to find the sturdy man who deceived Xiaozhu back then and punish him severely.

Master Zhida asked Chen to organize the monks to hold a ritual, summoned the local person in charge to witness, chanted the scriptures for the Shizhu resentment spirit, and at the same time, he contacted the Spirit Realm Netherworld Temple to trace the whereabouts of the soul of the sturdy man.

Of course, such a search requires a great price, and the results of the search surprised Master Zhida, it turned out that this man's soul had been reincarnated several times, and in the current life, he actually became the abbot of Shizhu Temple!!

"Wow!!"

When the people at the scene heard such a bizarre story of reincarnation, they couldn't help but scream and break out in a cold sweat!

The world is too wonderful, there may be more or less connections between everyone, it can be said that the people and things that have appeared in your life are not met or happened for no reason, perhaps, a person who passed you on the road was a person who traveled with you in the same place, ate at the same table, or even slept in the same bed with you countless years ago!

Such a situation made Master Zhida feel extremely troublesome, Lichen is now a Zen person, not only a Zen guard, but also an upright person, fair in everything, in order to become the abbot of Shizhu Temple.

But he turned out to be a wrongdoer a few lifetimes ago, which directly led to the appearance of the Shizhu resentful spirit, and now the two are miraculously reunited in the Shizhu Temple!

If he was to be punished for resolving the resentment of the bamboo spirit, it would be ridiculous in the eyes of the people of the world, because it was that wisp of resentment that was the problem now.

But if you don't let the dust be punished, I'm afraid that the resentment will not be resolved, and it will not be able to achieve the purpose of helping the world.

"What the hell is going to do?"

This question floated in everyone's hearts, and Master Zhida's face was filled with a smile, in fact, he just threw this problem to the dust to solve by himself, because the bell must be tied to the bell.

After learning of this, Lichen confined himself for ten days and ten nights, and then came to the Dharma event in front of the caryophyllus, told everyone about the cause and effect of the incident, and made a grand vow to wait by the side of this caryophyllus, on the one hand, to recite scriptures for it, to resolve grievances, until its spiritual life is completely transformed, and on the other hand, to prevent the resentful spirits from disturbing the people and protect the stability of the party.

In the presence of everyone, he created a formation around the caryophyllus, trapped himself and the caryophyllus in it, and began to realize his ambitions.

After this move, Shizhu Temple became famous, and its reputation in the local area became increasingly prosperous, and more people came to Shizhu Temple to worship incense than before.

In addition to coming to the incense, people also have to go to the caryophyllum formation to watch the dust chanting, in fact, this is the main purpose of their incense here.

"What about the end?"

Those who listened to the story couldn't wait to ask.

"The end... It's still far from it, because it still takes a long time for the caryophyllum spirit to be formed, and Lichen is still there chanting day and night, but..."Master Zhida said.

"But what?!" the people asked urgently.

"The current situation is not bad, the resentful spirit of the caryophyllum no longer frequently impacts the formation, nor does it attack the dust, but listens to the scriptures quietly in the caryophyllus, and the wisp of resentment is gradually fading!"

"What about Dusty Himself?"

"Although he didn't practice Zen Gong, his cultivation unconsciously became a Zen master, and the light of Zen Dao on his body became more and more prosperous, and his Dao power increased greatly!"

"Wow!!"
