11. The red Buddha body
(a)
Although he knew that this cat-faced woman was eager for revenge, Qing Huan had already decided in his heart that the shemale had a different path and could not be the same way, so he still took the opportunity to force the soul of the cat demon out of the willow green corpse with a merciless palm in front of Qingyin, and let her enter the reincarnation of reincarnation, as for Mrs. Tao, even if she and Tao Le happened to be reincarnated as a mother and daughter in this life, but there is no reason to be gnawed off a layer of skin with that Tao Le, after all, one person does things and one person is responsible, except for being beheaded all over the house because of rebellion, otherwise even if he is the emperor, he also knows the simple truth that the disaster will not affect his family。
However, after finishing off this harmful cat demon with one palm, Qing Huan seemed to faintly feel that although Qingyin was slightly sympathetic to this cat demon in his heart, he didn't seem to sympathize at all with the willow green in front of him who turned into a rotten and withered bone because of the cat demon's soul leaving the body, and it seemed that Qingyin not only didn't sympathize with her at all, but also slightly coldly leaked a trace of disapproving sneer and banter in his eyes......
"Hey, I worked hard for 16 years, I didn't get married, I didn't have children, I lost my whole life, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still made a wedding dress for others in vain," Qingyin sneered, "I knew this was the case, I didn't know what I was stupid at the beginning, I couldn't do anything, at least I could find a man to marry while I was young, and I would have a good life to deal with the past for the rest of my life," she said.
"Anyway, in the end, the water and sky mandarin duck brocade was still embroidered by her," Qing Huan was helpless, "but it was not she who was named the princess in the end." ”
"Hmph, stupid woman, if you bet on human nature on mortals, of course you will lose ten bets and nine bets," Qingyin's delicate and charming little face, like a pear blossom in the water*, suddenly exuded a hint of schadenfreude like a flower-like smile, "This is really a true saying in the world, early birds are eaten by insects, and early birds are eaten by birds," she said.
"Okay, as an immortal demon, don't just look at the grievances between these mortals in the world," Qing Huan sighed lightly with a slight emotion, "If you bet on the divinity of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, what will the result be?" he asked.
"Hey, you're wrong to say that, you think those who are immortals are as stupid as those mortals," Qingyin couldn't help but sneer, "No matter how bad it is, this willow green should go to the government first to put a flower on the water and sky mandarin duck brocade and then hand it over to Taohong to take to Chang'an City, I don't know how to protect myself, how do you let God take care of her?" she asked.
"So, do you also know that betting on divinity on immortals is almost the same in the end?" he couldn't help but shake his head and asked, "All living beings in the world, I'm afraid that the immortals who have never thought of their single-minded beliefs are actually no different from these sentient beings in their hearts," he said.
"Of course, the gods are not Buddhas, at most they are only more noble than the goblins, this princess is not obliged to make those who are said to be the most loved by the wicked in the world to be compassionate, and to purify all living beings like the induction of the world, and speaking of which, it seems that only the wicked in this world need to be purified, and the good people don't need it, so who are the exuberant incense in front of the Buddha who is worshipping every day, everyone understands it in their hearts," Qingyin couldn't help but sneer," If you become a monk, you can be reincarnated, and you don't think about the past evil, no wonder there are so many monks and Taoists in Yuzhou City. ”
"Qingyin, the tongue is not good, but it is the most able to plant right and wrong in the world,"
"Hmph, what can I do if I plant it, which mortal dares to come and tear up with this princess, and you don't say that this princess almost forgot where that Tao Le's grave is, although it is separated by a coffin, this princess also has a way to plant the branding card and send it to her," she said.
"Then you say, this time, how do you plan to arrange her next life?" Qing Huan was curious.
"Of course, let her continue to be a princess," Qingyin sneered, "but this princess will be captured by the enemy at the age of sixteen, and then she will continue to work hard in the army for the rest of her life," she said.
"Well, this time I still have some conscience, and I didn't let her become a military prostitute in the army," Qinghuan was helpless.
"Hey, I'm not that stupid, the princess status of the military prostitute, of course, is the first to be dedicated to the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief who can run into the palace to catch the princess, who is not a relative of the emperor, if the commander-in-chief general happens to take a fancy to her, then the princess's branding card should be thrown into the alchemy furnace to burn," she said.

After returning to the Yueyun Inn in Yuzhou City from Zhuzi Village, Qingyin relied on the gold beads in his small brocade bag to order dishes in the inn with all kinds of tricks, fruit candied fruit and pastry ordered a table, soup and cold dishes ordered a table, and various fruit wine and cheese ordered a table, and then let the inn guys take out a plate and plate to feed the wandering beggars on the street, although Qinghuan had already used the Dingguang Bead to suck back those blazing cloud poisonous beads from Tao Le's body, but now he was very angry at Qingyin's wanton behavior in the inn, because those wandering beggars on the street were already hungry in their stomachs, What is most urgently needed now is rice grains like steamed buns that can satisfy the stomach, but look at the candied cheese that Qingyin kindly gave them, I am afraid that they will be even more hungry and sad after eating.
But I didn't expect that Qingyin really used the small gold beads in the brocade bag to ask the innkeeper for two large cages of vegetable and meat buns, but he specified that a few guys would help her go to the street to distribute to those skinny stray cats and dogs, although Qinghuan was very resentful in her heart, but after all, the gold beads in the brocade bag were Qingyin's own private money, and it was indeed his turn to spend what she wanted.
Because Qingyin is indeed very generous in the inn, so the inn guy took the opportunity to personally order a few good wine and food to serve the dinner of the two distinguished guests, the two of them just picked a few light chopsticks at will, Qinghuan saw a few businessmen dressed as guests on the wine table next door hurriedly urging the guy to serve the food, so he kindly asked him to greet the guests at that table first, so he didn't have to bother to delay business for himself and Qingyin, and complain about the guests.
But strangely, the guy in the inn didn't seem to rush to serve the wine and food to appease the anger of the guests at that table, but explained to the guests that it was the meal now, and the kitchen was too busy to serve the food, so the serving time would naturally be delayed, not only here, but also any inn restaurant on the whole street.
In this way, a table of ordinary wine and food at most only two taels of silver actually delayed the guests at that table for more than an hour, and when the wine and food were full, the city gate was closed, and these merchants had no choice but to stay in the inn tonight, Qingyin thought that the inn guys must have deliberately delayed the hours in this way, in order to let these merchants stay in the inn tonight, and earn them an extra piece of room silver.
"Girl, you are really wrong to blame the villain," the innkeeper clarified helplessly to Qingyin while holding a sweat towel to clean up the leftovers on the table, " It is only because I overheard that these merchants in order to hurry, tonight they have to go over the Jinzhong Mountain thirty miles northwest of Yuzhou City, so they deliberately delay the time to serve the food and leave them behind, because the Jinzhong Mountain is absolutely impossible to go at night, it is rumored that more than 100 years ago, the passing merchants often disappeared inexplicably when walking the night road of Jinzhong Mountain at night, and later someone found a large pile of white bones in an ancient temple on Jinzhong Mountain that had been abandoned for many years, and most of the white bones had traces of fierce beast bitesLater, there was a period of time when no one disappeared inexplicably in the middle of the night on the mountain road, everyone speculated that the tiger in the mountain must have been killed by the hunters, but who would have thought that recently, the mountain road on the Admiralty Mountain began to disappear inexplicably in the middle of the night, the government sent people to check, and sure enough, a few bones were found in the abandoned ancient temple called the Red Buddha Temple, which obviously showed that there were tigers in the mountains again, if these merchants were just let out of the city, who knows if they would also be killed in the Admiralty Mountain," he said.

Although the innkeeper kept the few merchants who were eager to get out of the city out of kindness, Qing Huan thought in his heart that the vicious tiger that ate countless people in the Admiralty Mountain would definitely not be able to escape the hunt of the government and the hunters in the future。
Because Qingyin insisted on following Qing Huan to Jinzhong Mountain to find the man-eating tiger, Qing Huan had no choice but to carefully tell her that the tiger in the mountain was not a mythical beast in the Jade Butterfly Mountain, and she should not be petted and teased at will.
At night, the two quietly came out of the window of the inn guest room, and traveled all the way to the Jinzhong Mountain, thirty miles northwest of Yuzhou City, taking advantage of the bright frost moonlight, Qing Huan saw that a few green pine trees on the side of the mountain road were really sparsely covered with a small ancient temple that had been abandoned for a long time, because he thought that since the tiger always brought people to the ancient temple to eat, he thought that this ancient temple must have been regarded as his own cave by the man-eating tiger, in this case, Qing Huan thought that as long as he waited patiently in this ancient temple called the Red Buddha Temple, at most two or three days, he would definitely see the tiger smoothly。
Who would have thought that after Qinghuan and Qingyin quietly entered the mountain gate of the ancient temple in the night, they faintly heard a fierce voice in the dilapidated courtyard warning the two not to enter the main hall, and they could also lie on the ground and sleep in the side hall.
Qing Huan naturally knew in his heart that there must be something strange in this deserted temple, and then pulled up Qingyin to pretend to enter the side hall, but after half a tea hour and Qingyin flew to the roof of the main hall one after another, Qing Huan quietly reached out on the roof to remove a few green tiles, and looked into the main hall through the moonlight probe, only to see a red Buddha statue in the hall standing majestically in the main hall, but there were several bodies of passers-by whose flesh and blood had been eaten up at the foot of the Buddha statue.
At this moment, only heard a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, Qing Huan looked up, only to see that the person who came was dressed roughly, carrying a bow and crossbow, it seemed that he was a hunter who came to the mountains to hunt the fierce tiger, but the strange thing was that when the hunter came in, the courtyard did not faintly hear the sharp warning, the hunter seemed to have been looking for the evil tiger in the mountains for a few days, his body was very tired and sleepy, and after stepping into the main hall, he fell asleep in front of the Buddha statue, and did not notice the scattered bones at the foot of the Buddha statue, Qing Huan originally wanted to help the Orion on the roof to watch it all night, but who would have thought that at this time, the red Buddha statue in the main hall with a blood-red body, but began to open his mouth to absorb the blood of the Orion who was sleeping at the foot of the Buddha statue.
In an instant, Qing Huan didn't have time to come to the rescue, and the tiger hunter who was sleeping soundly at the foot of the Buddha statue had died of anger, and at this moment, the Buddha statue suddenly slowly paced out a spotted tiger with fierce eyes, and when he saw that the person at the foot of the Buddha statue had died of anger, he immediately pounced on it and chewed it.
In the past 100 years, what has really harmed people in this Red Buddha Temple is the solemn Red Buddha statue in the main hall, and the man-eating tiger is just picking up a cheap meat for nothing in the Red Buddha Temple.
When the dead body of the Orion was eaten up, the spotted tiger naturally turned its head and left immediately, Qing Huan saw at a glance that this red Buddha with a red body was actually not like this, this red Buddha statue was just an ordinary stone Buddha statue at the beginning, it was sent by the evil spirit for many years with mortal essence blood watered, and then gradually began to be red all over, if Qing Huan guessed well, this red Buddha statue has now at least sucked dozens of mortal essence blood, if you wait until you suck enough nine hundred and eighty-one mortal essence blood, the evil spirit in the Buddha statue can be cultivated into an evil body, and come out of the Buddha statue。
Therefore, Qing Huan immediately made a decision, flew into the hall and smashed the head of the Red Buddha statue with one palm, so that the Red Buddha statue could no longer suck the blood of mortals, and the evil spirit in the red Buddha statue would never have the opportunity to cultivate into an evil body and come out of the Buddha statue.
But out of curiosity, and because just now he did use the Dingguang Bead in his arms to suck the breath of the Blazing Cloud Poison Bead in the body of the Tiger Orion, Qing Huan still asked him bluntly in a miserable and sharp cry of the evil spirit in the Buddha statue, why didn't he go to the Yin Cao Difu to report according to the rules, but used such an evil method to send the Buddha statue in the temple and mutilated the passers-by in the Admiralty Mountain.
"The immortal chief doesn't know, just because the villain was really killed by a traitor before his death, and he was unjustly killed, he was unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate, and he was worried about finding a wicked person to take revenge, so he had to make this decision, fortunately, now the revenge has been avenged, even if he is trapped in this severed Buddha statue and can never be reborn, he has no regrets in his heart," The evil spirit in the Buddha statue couldn't help but weep silently in front of Qing Huan, although his voice sounded very gloomy and sharp, but after careful distinction, he could still roughly guess that this evil spirit should be a child of a good family who read poetry and books before his death.
(iv)
The name of this good family is Jin Liang, he is the only son of an ordinary family in Jinjia Village at the foot of Jinzhong Mountain, and his family has more than 100 acres of fertile land.
This Jin Liang has a very good heart since he was a child, most of the people in the village are illiterate, and everything like writing a contract is a thing that does not refuse to come, and when he meets a poor neighbor because he has no money to deal with a lawsuit, he has no way to ask for help, and often takes his own money to take care of the government for others and seek justice.
One day, a foreigner was displaced to Jinjia Village, with no food and clothing, nowhere to live, and was about to starve to death, but he met Jin Liang's kindness, and helped him with money, and also paid for him to buy a deserted courtyard in the village, so that he could live in peace.
This foreigner's name is Wu Zhong, because he remarried with his mother, his stepfather's family was very mean to him, and after his mother died, he was kicked out of the house, he couldn't beg around for a living, but fortunately he met Jin Liang in Jinjia Village.
Jin Liang because of pity for Wu Zhong in his heart, he immediately worshiped Wu Zhong as a brother, saying that since then they have been like a family, regardless of each other, Wu Zhong is very grateful in his heart, and keeps saying that since then he and Jin Liang are brothers, and the two have blessings and hardships.
After Jin Liang and Wu Zhong worshiped their brothers, because they were happy in their hearts, they paid for Wu Zhong to buy a few acres of fertile land in the village, thinking that from then on he would be able to live in Jinjia Village without worrying about food and clothing, and live a stable life.
But who would have thought that once Wu Zhong's life became stable, he began to gradually no longer be satisfied with the coarse tea and light meals in the daily life, and asked Jin Liang again and again for money to buy wine and meat, and buy grosgrain clothes.
Because Jin Liang was not a wealthy family, he couldn't help Wu Zhong to squander it again and again, so he gradually began to alienate Wu Zhong and no longer let him take what he wanted.
But Wu Zhong was used to the extravagant days of drinking wine and eating meat at that time, and always thought that since he had married Jin Liang as a brother, he was naturally already a family, and since he was a family, why should he be so clearly separated from you and me in terms of money, shouldn't the money in Jin Liang's family be regarded as his own?
Later, Wu Zhong somehow began to be lured by some village scoundrels to gamble in the gambling house in Yuzhou City, wishing that he could get rich overnight, but he lost nine out of ten bets, because he couldn't afford to pay off the gambling debts, and was beaten by the guys in the gambling village.
Wu Zhong was very resentful of Jin Liang in his heart because of this, resenting that Jin Liang had a few thousand taels of silver in his home, but he was beaten up because he couldn't afford to pay off the gambling debts of hundreds of taels of silver.
Since then, Wu Zhong began to calculate that Jin Liang's family would die early, as if as long as Jin Liang's family died, the money could belong to him, and then he finally came up with a wonderful way, that is, to continue to gamble hard in the gambling house, and then in the name of Jin Liang's brothers, he borrowed the usury silver from the most ruthless bully in Yuzhou City, and the home address written on the IOU was also Jin Liang's family, and after the silver rolled to several thousand taels, the bully creditor began to take people to Jin Liang's house to threaten and collect debts.
Because the villagers in Jinjia Village knew that Jin Liang and Wu Zhong were sworn brothers, the bully creditors thought that since they were brothers, Wu Zhong would have to ask Jin Liang for the money he owed, and if Jin Liang didn't give it, he would burn Jin Liang's house to the ground.
Jin Liang couldn't, so he had to obediently take out a few thousand taels of silver to eliminate the disaster for the bully creditor, but since then he has not been in contact with Wu Zhong again, and the silver that Wu Zhong borrowed from the bully was quickly spent in the gambling house, and he owed a lot of gambling debts.
Wu Zhong suddenly had a thought when he was brought to the door by the owner of the gambling house to force debts, if Jin Liang was beaten to death by the owner of the gambling house for no reason, and the boss paid for his life, the gambling debts he owed would naturally be written off, and Jin Liang's wife and children had nothing to rely on, so he could only rely on himself, the sworn brother of her deceased husband......
After that, this Wu Zhong quietly wrote a secret letter to the prefect in Yuzhou City, in which he carefully described the various evil deeds of the gambling house owner who bullied men and women in Yuzhou City, but the payment was marked with the word Jin Liang, and then deliberately designed this secret letter to fall into the hands of the gambling house owner.
