Chapter 5: Manjushri turns adultery into a traitor

"Search me one by one, there is an order from above, that kid must be found before dawn!" A thick voice pulled Gu Qingxian back from his contemplation.

The quiet night was broken by the noise, and when Gu Qingxian got up and looked out through the crack in the door, he saw more than ten tolerances pouring into the lobby, and the bright torches illuminated the inn as if it were day.

"A few officials, why do you come to the shop?" the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The leader man's eyes widened and said, "Gone murderer, someone has seen people living in your shop." The shopkeeper was so frightened that he was incoherent: "The shop will never dare to hide the suspect privately, and please ask the adults to investigate." The leader ignored him, and with a wave of his hand, the officials began to search room by room. Gu Qingxian lived in the third room at the head of the row, and saw the three officials walking towards him, and there were figures shaking outside the window, thinking that the officers and soldiers had surrounded the inn.

Gu Qingxian had no choice but to go back to bed, hurriedly removed his shoes, pulled the quilt over the cover, and pretended to be asleep. As soon as he lay down here, the three officials broke down the door. Gu Qingxian pretended to have just woken up, and said with sleepy eyes: "Who is there?" I heard an official ask: "Is this the person?" Another official said: "It's a bit like, and stay close." The three of them were about to come over, and one of them suddenly said, "Why are you?"

When Gu Qingxian opened his eyes and looked carefully, the three officials all recognized that they were the people who had been arrested as thieves during the day. Gu Qingxian had an idea, pretending to be scared and said, "What is the boss, I haven't done anything." Those officials were very frightened when they saw him, and they only regarded him as a thief stealing chickens and dogs, how could they think of it with the thief who assassinated Sheng Haipeng.

An official said: "What kind of business did you do this afternoon?" Gu Qingxian took out fifty taels of silver from his bag and handed it to the official, and said in a loud voice: "The villain should die, he will never do this kind of business in the future!" When the official saw the silver, he quickly reached out and grabbed it, caged it in his sleeve, and said to Gu Qingxian: "You can pay attention to it in the future." The three of them went out of the room and searched for other places.

Gu Qingxian let out a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "This so-called 'misfortune and fortune are relied on, and fortune and misfortune are lurking', but I have avoided a hurdle in a daze. "No one came that night, and the official sent a search to no avail, so I had to find another place.

Gu Qingxian hid in the city for three days, and on the fourth day, when the city gate opened, he successfully got out of the city in the crowd. At this time, there was still one thing that Old Man Ye had ordered, but Gu Qingxian was not in a hurry to open the third bag, went south to Nan'an Prefecture to live for a day, and then traveled east to wander in Chuxiong Mansion for a few days, and never saw Lin Yuetong again. "She said, 'See you next time', how long was that?" Gu Qingxian thought stupidly as she walked alone on the Yiliang trail. Since the last glimpse, the word "Lin Yuetong" has been deeply engraved into his mind.

Gu Qingxian was walking on the road, and a figure suddenly jumped down from a big tree beside him, so frightened that Gu Qingxian hurriedly jumped back, reached out and went to his waist to get the sword. The man did not fall, but hung in the air, and when Gu Qingxian fixed his eyes, he was a weak scholar who was looking for death there, and hung himself with a hemp rope tied to a tree. Gu Qingxian was busy performing light skills, jumped up, and slashed the sword in his hand on the rope, and the scholar fell to the ground.

Gu Qingxian stepped forward to help him up and asked, "Brother Tai is a young man, why is he looking for death?" The man was confused, only said that he was dead, and asked Gu Qingxian: "Are you a Bodhisattva?" Gu Qingxian smiled and said: "The Bodhisattva is busy, and I am a good wealth boy." ”

The man looked around, only then did he sober up, knowing that he was not dead, but complained to Gu Qingxian: "You have no reason, I am looking for death here! Get out of the way, I don't want to live anymore." "Get up and hang yourself again.

Gu Qingxian said strangely in his heart: "This person is strange, I'm afraid that he has encountered something difficult, and he is so bent on seeking death." In a blink of an eye, he saw a piece of paper fall on the ground, and when he picked it up and looked at it, it was a notice, Gu Qingxian read it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, and saw that it was written:

"Dear fellow initiates of great virtue,

Time and space are urgent!

After receiving the Master's decree to convey the order of all beings in the world, calling me to wait until people indirectly lead people destined to the Dao, my Master said: 'I came from the Tao, and now I have returned to the Tao, and after the integration of heaven and man, I will naturally be the same as the Tao. Today, there is Maitreya Buddha's mind, which can be with destined people. 'No matter what kind of occupation or profession the people of the world have, but those who believe in this way can be taught, and those who enter our door, and those who have understanding, fate, and good fortune can continue their wisdom. There is no signature, only a Buddha logo.

Gu Qingxian said to the young man: "Your Excellency, are you in a hurry to see the Bodhisattva?" The scholar's face turned red, and he snatched the proclamation, and said, "What Bodhisattva am I looking for, I hate the Bodhisattva so much." If a bodhisattva has supernatural powers, he should have manifested his spirit a long time ago. Gu Qingxian was even more curious at this time, and asked, "How can you still talk to the Bodhisattva?" The scholar was so disturbed by him, and his heart to seek death gradually faded, and he immediately explained the matter one by one.

It turned out that there was a Zhushan Township 100 miles away from the county seat of Yiliang County, a group of monks came a while ago, claiming to be a disciple of the Buddha of the West Heaven, and came down to Pudu sentient beings, and built a temple in the north of Zhushan Township, which was dedicated to the Bodhisattva of the Quartet, attracting the people of the towns and villages near the left to pay homage. The scholar called Chi Chenzhi, since he was a child, he relied on his grandmother for his life, and he planned to go to Beijing to catch the exam this year, but who knew that his grandmother was bewitched, and he actually believed in the words of the monk in the temple, and ate fasting and chanting Buddha all day long, praying for the ascension to immortals. At first, it was okay, but later the temple held a meeting, saying that it was to buy incense and candles to offer fruits, Chi Chenzhi's family was not rich, but his grandmother always had to make up ten taels of silver every time to give, saying that it was to accumulate merit.

Later, there was a fasting meeting in the temple every day, and the grandmother simply lived in the temple, and put all the family assets into the temple, Chi Chenzhi went to the temple to visit the day before yesterday, but saw that the grandmother was as thin as firewood, and three souls fell out of the seven souls, and saw that there was only one breath left, and he knelt in front of the Buddha statue all day to pray for blessings. Chi Chenzhi immediately reasoned with the monk in the temple, but he was beaten severely and driven down the temple, he had no money on him, and he couldn't find a ministry to do, so in the end he only sighed: "It's useless to be a scholar." "I had no choice but to find a rope from home and come to this roadside to seek death, but I happened to be rescued by Gu Qingxian.

Gu Qingxian listened to him and said with a smile: "What is a big deal about me, but they are two charlatans, I, a good person, will do it to the end, and help you clean them up." ”

Chi Chen said: "It's not like that, those monks really know some spells. The two-zhang high wall jumped over with a heel fight. Gu Qingxian said in his heart: "How can there be magic in this world, I am afraid that it is some people from the rivers and lakes, but there are also some martial arts." Raising his eyes and seeing the big tree beside him, he asked Chi Chenzhi, "This tree should be four or five zhang high." Chi Chenzhi didn't know what he meant, and continued: "I'm afraid it's nearly six zhang." Gu Qingxian didn't speak, the internal force in his body ran for a week, and when he lifted his breath, he jumped up more than two feet, and borrowed his strength on the branches between the trees, and in three or two steps, he reached the top of the big tree.

Chi Chenzhi looked frightened below, and said, "It's dangerous above, you come down quickly." Gu Qingxian said, "Okay." "As soon as his feet were raised, he fell from mid-air. Chi Chenzhi was so frightened that he hurriedly closed his eyes, and when he heard a "pop", when he opened his eyes, Gu Qingxian was already standing in front of him unharmed. Chi Chenzhi was stupid with fright: "You...... Do you know how to spell?" Gu Qingxian was noncommittal, and only said: "Do you think my hand is better than those monks?" Chi Chenzhi hurriedly bowed to the ground, and kept kowtowing to Gu Qingxian, Gu Qingxian came forward to help, Chi Chenzhi said in his mouth: "Please also ask the master to be gracious and save my grandmother!"

Gu Qingxian said: "This fasting and reciting Buddha is not a bad thing, it's just that your grandmother was bewitched by others and acted on the wrong path, and those thieves and monks handed it over to me to cook, lead the way." ”
