Chi Chenzhi was overjoyed at the moment after Gu Qingxian's words of help, and returned home with Gu Qingxian, just entering the door, but saw that his grandmother had already returned, and was bowing her head to pack her things. Chi Chenzhi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly ran over and shouted, "Grandmother!" The old lady did not look up, and while packing up her things, she said slowly: "You went up the mountain to disturb the Dharma and annoyed the Heavenly God Bodhisattva, now come with me to kowtow and apologize." ”

Chi Chen said angrily: "Those thieves and monks are talking nonsense, where do you come to so many pujas every day? I'm afraid it's not a respectful greedy bodhisattva." As soon as the old lady heard this, she raised her hand and was about to hit: "Sin, sin, how can you blaspheme the Bodhisattva like this?" Chi Chenzhi was about to speak, but Gu Qingxian preemptively said: "Grandma, I'm Qin Xian, I often came to your house to play when I was a child." ”

The old lady's surname was Liu, and she was already over seventy years old, so how could she still remember it? After a while, she said: "Oh! You are the son of a carpenter Qin, you have grown so big." Gu Qingxian smiled: "After so many years, you are still the same, and you haven't changed at all." My mother said that you study Buddhism intensively, let me ask you for advice. As soon as Mrs. Liu heard that burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, it was what she was doing, and she immediately said to Gu Qingxian: "You came just in time, today's Guanyin meeting, I will go to the temple to prepare later, you two and I will go together." ”

Gu Qingxian agreed, but Chi Chenzhi said: "Didn't you have a Guanyin meeting in June? Gu Qingxian said: "Brother Chi doesn't know, I see what the book says, Guanyin Bodhisattva was born in the world in February, became a monk in September, and became enlightened in June, so there will be three Guanyin Societies." "Although he doesn't understand Buddhism, he has a lot of books on Guiyun Peak, and there are many records of this, so Gu Qingxian will flip through them when he has nothing to do, and he doesn't want it to come in handy at this time.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Liu shook her head and said, "No, no." Guanyin Bodhisattva, there are three sisters, February is the birthday of the eldest sister, June is the birthday of the second sister, and this September should be the birthday of the third sister. Gu Qingxian smiled and said, "I see, I must have read it wrong." Mrs. Liu nodded thoughtfully, packed up her things, and took the two of them to the temple.

The temple was built on a high hill in the north of Zhushan Township. Gu Qingxian went to the place to take a look, but where was the newly built Buddhist temple? It was just a few ruins and broken walls, and some Dharma statues were placed indiscriminately. However, although this temple is simple, there are many people who come to burn incense and worship Buddha. Mrs. Liu was familiar with the road and led the two of them to the back.

Gu Qingxian saw that the statues of Bodhisattva, Buddha, King Kong, and Arhat in the temple were arranged in a disorderly manner, and there was no order, and he said in his heart: "What Chi Chenzhi said is not bad, this temple is only afraid that it is a little tired." I only heard Mrs. Liu say to Chi Chen: "Behind that is the holy image of Manjushri Bodhisattva, you will kowtow a few times to protect your gold list title." Chi Chenzhi whispered: "In charge of the heavens and the earth, that is Wenquxing's business, what does it have to do with Manjushri Bodhisattva." Gu Qingxian hurriedly pulled Chi Chenzhi with his hand and signaled him not to complain anymore.

Suddenly, three bells rang, and a group of monks walked out of the temple, the person in front was wearing a red robe, with a kind face and a thin body, and the five monks in the back were all wearing cloth clothes and stepping on straw shoes, but they were born with a face full of flesh and a fierce face. Gu Qingxian said in his heart: "This leading monk is still presentable, and the latter ones, no matter how you look at it, they look like they were modified by robbers who robbed houses." ”

When Mrs. Liu saw this group of monks coming out, she hurriedly said, "Come here and stand up, you are going to perform the Dharma." He pulled Gu and Chi to stand in front of the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, clasped their hands together, and bowed their heads. The rest of the pilgrims did the same.

The leading monk holds a bowl full of water in his left hand and stands in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, facing the crowd, while the other four monks stand on both sides of the crowd in two of them, and the remaining one of the young monks holds a gavel and stands at a small table with an iron bell on the table.

Everyone stood still, and the leading monk said loudly: "Guanyin Bodhisattva is wonderful and difficult to reward, pure and solemn and tireless." After finishing speaking, the little monk behind him rang the iron bell, and the other four monks clasped their hands together and shouted in unison: "Amitabha." The leading monk then set off to walk around the crowd, his right hand went to the bowl to dip some water, and rushed towards the crowd, Chi Chenzhi turned sideways and wanted to hide, Mrs. Liu hurriedly grabbed it, and whispered: "This is divine water, bless the four seasons of health." ”

The leader turned around, returned to his original position, and said loudly: "Hao Hao Honglian is under his feet, bending Qiu Yue and locking his brows." After that, as soon as the little monk rang the bell, the other four monks shouted "Amitabha". This time, everyone had a seer and shouted along. The leader sprinkled water in the same way, turned around, and said: "The nectar in the bottle is often sprinkled all over the place, and the poplar branches in his hands do not count the autumn." After that, the rest of the monks repeated the previous action, and this was repeated for a total of 12 times, until the last sentence: "A thousand prayers are answered in a thousand places, and the sea of suffering is often used as a boat to cross people." After that, the leader turned around, bowed to the ground towards the statue of Guanyin, and said: "Today, on September 19, good men and women worship here, hoping that great mercy and compassion will help the suffering and save the suffering, and the three immortal aunts of Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless all living beings with peace and health!"

All the pilgrims bowed down and said in unison: "I hope the Bodhisattva blesses!" Gu Qingxian bowed down with everyone, and blessed in his heart: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, if you have a spirit in the sky, help me smash this thief's den today, and it can be regarded as a blessing for the people." When he looked up, he saw that everyone was prostrate on the ground, and no one stood up.

Oh, Gu Qingxian heard the sound of slight footsteps, and when he looked sideways, it was the monks who stood up quietly and walked towards the back of the temple. Gu Qingxian got up lightly, and while no one was paying attention, he tiptoed up.

Behind the temple is a wasteland, after Gu Qingxian waited for the monks to pass, he cautiously followed behind, walked two steps, and suddenly heard a voice say: "Who is there!" But the little monk who rang the bell stayed at the back to let out the wind.

Gu Qingxian was startled, and hurriedly lowered himself in the grass and reeds, but he heard someone behind him: "You Yongzhen little monk has some ability, Lao Tzu was seen by you as soon as he arrived." Gu Qingxian crouched in the grass and didn't dare to move, and saw a group of Jianghu guests walking out behind him. The leader wore a hat and a night suit, and led dozens of people up the trail at the bottom of the mountain.

When the monk Yongzhen saw this person, he hurriedly saluted: "Uncle!" The man nodded, and Yongzhen turned around and led the way: "Master is waiting for your old man." ”

Gu Qingxian took advantage of this gap and followed behind everyone and touched it, and the Yongzhen monk took everyone to a clearing to meet the red-clothed monk, and then turned around and said, "I'll go out and guard again." ”

The red-clothed monk said, "No need, no one will come to this back." Gu Qingxian breathed a sigh of relief and hid beside a big rock to eavesdrop. The red-clothed monk said again: "Second brother, it's rare for you to come to see me!"

Another voice said: "Senior brother, senior brother has come up to the mountain today to give the eldest brother a rare treasure." Listening to this voice, it is the "uncle" that Monk Yongzhen called just now. This person's name is Dongfang Xin, and he studied the same art as the red-clothed monk, and only robbed his house near Guansuoling, Qujing Mansion on weekdays.

The red-clothed monk knew that his junior brother was greedy by nature, and he had always been "blessed and enjoyed", and at this time, he came from hundreds of miles away, and brought a large number of subordinates, and there was absolutely nothing good. At that moment, he asked lightly, "What treasure is it?"

Dongfang Xindao: "Qing Yuejue, have you heard of it?" Gu Qingxian heard the word "Qing Yuejue", hurriedly pricked up his ears, leaned forward slightly, and almost poked his head out.

When the red-clothed monk heard this, his heart was also tight, and he said quietly: "What if you have heard it?" Dongfang Xin said: "I met Lao Di and Lao Tan at the foot of Guan Suo Ling a few days ago, and led a group of people to say that they were going north to hunt for treasures.

"Is this true?" Although the red-clothed monk tried his best to hide it, he still couldn't help but show excitement in his words.

Dongfang Xindao: "That's right, I heard that the Lord of Lumen will go north in person in two days, and the Dilongmen can be said to be pouring out of the nest this time." Lao Di was afraid that there would be not enough manpower, so he wanted to take me with him. I pondered that I was not capable enough, so I made a special trip to invite my brother, and my two brothers worked together, so why did they have to get a piece of the pie. ”

The red-clothed monk pondered for a long time and said, "Lu Lunshi is going to ...... We get a lot of things where we get. Dongfang Xin said: "If we don't rob him, it is impossible for him to occupy ten tenths of the Dragon Gate, and when the time comes, just get some benefits, it will be enough for you and me to enjoy a lifetime." The red-clothed monk was moved by this, and was silent for the moment, but his mind had already begun to make wishful thinking.

Gu Qingxian was hiding behind the stone and was listening attentively, when a hand suddenly stretched out behind his back and quietly covered his mouth.
