Chapter 63: Chixia Seeks Immortals
It was late at night, there were wine and meat dishes on the table in the main hall of Lanruo Temple, and several figures were chatting while drinking and eating under the bright lights and candles, but the little monk of Shifang was looking at the pure gold flatbread in his skin with a sad face, and he was sullen on the side.
"Brother's name is Yan Chixia?" Zuo Tianzong held a wine glass and took a sip of wine, but his eyes were looking out of the hall, not knowing what he was thinking.
The man in Xuanyi grabbed a roast chicken, tore off half of it, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Yes, Brother Zuo, don't be so nervous, you and I are here tonight, those monsters, let's kill one by one, kill one by one! By the way, what does Brother Zuo think of my name?"
Zuo Tianheng accosted on the side and said, "Brother Yan's name is very powerful!
Yan Chixia glanced at Zuo Tianheng in surprise, and then sighed, "I think so too, so I used this name." It's a pity that this name was not originally mine~"
"Oh, what does Brother Yan mean by this, why is the name also used by others?" As soon as Zuo Tianzong heard this, he immediately retracted his gaze and fell back on Yan Chixia. The little monk of the ten directions also pricked up his ears and listened on the side, according to this situation, there must be a story in the man in Xuanyi.
Yan Chixia drank a few glasses of wine, "I didn't call this name until I met a worldly master." Originally, I begged him to accept me as an apprentice, but he said that he couldn't get along with others, so he refused to accept me, but he passed on some small spells to me, so that I could walk the rivers and lakes for my body. ”
"Won't you beg him again, since that master is willing to teach you spells, he must have a good impression of you in his heart. My master is like this, he is always disgusting and kind, and sometimes I beg him, and he will not punish me. Shifang listened to the story and interjected on the side, "How is that master now?"
Yan Chixia heard Shifang's words, paused, and said calmly, "It's dead." ”
"Ah?!Amitabha~Donor, please mourn. When Shifang heard the news, he immediately recited the Buddha's name to apologize.
"Because he is not good at getting along with others, he has neither relatives nor friends, and when I buried him, he didn't even have a penny on him, so I studied well, and I have to make money first to be a good person. Yan Chixia had a hint of mist in her eyes.
"Yan Daxia told me that there is a person who can teach me spells, and asked me to go to him before I die. Yan Chixia said in a deep voice.
Zuo Tianzong also took a sip of wine, and filled the wine glass in front of Yan Chixia, "I don't know who it is, can be respected by that master surnamed Yan?"
"His name is Lu Xihua, and he opened a pharmacy in a city called Baiyaotang. Yan Daxia told me that that person is an immortal Buddha and the like, playing in the world, and I don't know how many times higher than him in terms of cultivation and mana, so I asked me to go to him if I want to enter the Tao and practice. ”
"Then have you found this person named Lu Xihua?" Shifang heard that the master surnamed Yan commented that there were monks comparable to the likes of immortals and Buddhas in this world, and he immediately became interested, and asked involuntarily.
Yan Chixia shook her head, "After I buried Yan Daxia, I set off to the city that Yan Daxia said, but unfortunately, it has long become a deserted garden, the brand of Baiyao Hall has rotted, the courtyard is overgrown with wild grass, and no one lives in it for a long time." ”
"Since that person is comparable to an immortal Buddha, how could he be gone? Has Master Yan asked others for news?" Shi Fang turned into a curious baby at this moment, one question after another.
Yan Chixia nodded, "I have explored the neighbors around the Hundred Medicine Hall, this Hundred Medicine Hall is a medicine shop that suddenly appeared a hundred years ago, because in a plague disaster, the relief of the people, cheap or even free treatment, was rewarded by Gao Hong, who was still the prefect at the time, and it became famous in the city. ”
Shifang is a kind and simple person, and when he heard that the Hundred Medicine Hall helped the world and saved people, he immediately had a good impression.
Yan Chixia said again, "There are two doctors in the Hundred Medicine Hall, one surnamed Niu and the other surnamed Ma. According to the memories of the people, they are all doctors with excellent medical skills, but in the mouth of Yan Daxia, they are cultivators whose spells are not below him. As for the owner of Baiyaotang, Lu Xihua, Yan Daxia only said that he was a young man in his early twenties, who liked cloth clothes and pants, and his appearance was not amazing. But the people around them said that they had never seen this person. ”
Shifang nodded, "I think that the master surnamed Lu is also in the downtown area, but he is dedicated to cultivation. ”
"The two doctors surnamed Niu and Ma mentioned before also died of illness fifty years ago, and the strange thing is that the two died of illness at the same time. The medicinal herbs planted in the courtyard were all snatched up by the big families in the city, and it has become the current deserted courtyard. ”
"I found that place ten years ago, and the person surnamed Lu has long since disappeared. So I swore that I would use my life to find him, so I used the name of Yan Daxia, hoping that one day, the name Yan Chixia would be famous all over the world, and if that Lu Xihua was still there, he would naturally be able to notice me. In this troubled world, everything has to be money, and I don't want to become poor like Yan Daxia, so I have to collect money for everything I do. I have spells and martial arts, I don't steal or rob, I rely on my own ability to eat, I only hope to meet that Lu Xihua one day and learn spells from him, with the long-cherished wish of Yan Daxia and me. ”
"Amitabha, Lord Yan Shi is kind-hearted, and he will definitely be able to fulfill his wish in this life. Shifang Heshi said.
Yan Chixia smiled and said, "Little monk, what is your wish?
The little monk of Shifang rolled his eyes a few times, and he looked ignorant, "Lord Zuo, they got lost with their parents in the war more than a year ago, and they hope to find their parents back." The little monk's wish is to be a good person. I hope that all the good people in this world will be rewarded. ”
Yan Chixia smiled contemptuously, "Good people? A good person like Yan Daxia? The last person died alone? If it weren't for me, I wouldn't even have a grave? A good person ended up like this? How many demons and ghosts did Yan Daxia kill in his life, how many corrupt officials and corrupt officials did he kill, and how many Li people he saved? Is this the so-called good heart has a good reward? I don't think I can do this kind of good person. ”
Shifang heard this, silent, the world is chaotic like a ghost domain, and the people's hearts are even more demonic, this way to follow the master to the north, he is no longer the innocent little monk in the temple, Yan Chixia's words, he can't answer, so he has to silently look at the golden cake in his hand.
"Brother Shifang, your golden Buddha is deformed and useless, can you give it to me?" Zuo Tianheng's children's voice pulled the people present back from deep thought.
Shifang said embarrassedly, "Little Donor Zuo, it's really embarrassing for the little monk." This golden Buddha is a secret treasure in Feiyun Temple. Master and I were instructed by the abbot of the temple to send him to the Great Buddha Temple in Beijing. It's a pity that now the Golden Buddha has been destroyed and lost its role, but it's not for the little monk to call the shots. I only hope that the master will be rescued at that time, and this matter is all up to the master, if the master is willing to give the golden Buddha to the little benefactor of Zuo, the little monk will obey the master's orders. ”
Yan Chixia is a living money fan, and when she heard this, she immediately became excited, "Little master, you can also give it to me." Although this golden Buddha is ruined, I don't mind. ”
Shifang was also speechless, so he could only bow his head and read, "Amitabha~"
"Help, there's a ghost!" suddenly came a woman's cry outside the hall.
"Hey, someone is calling for help!" Yan Chixia immediately heard the voice and reminded a few people.
Zuo Tianheng smiled and said, "Could it be that Sister Xiao Zhuo is here?" looked at the little monk of the ten directions. Shi Fang immediately blushed, got up and said, "The little monk went to check it out." ”
"What Xiao Zhuo? Could it be the little monk's little lover? This little monk is not afraid of breaking the lust ring?!
Zuo Tianzong sat at the wine table and was silent, not knowing what was going on, which caused him to be sullen, and he drank and ate meat vigorously.
"Brother Zuo, don't eat all, wait for me!" Yan Chixia looked at the figure in the distance of Shifang, and when she turned around, she saw that half of the wine and food on the table were missing, and she immediately shouted.
As soon as Shifang opened the door of the hall, a beautiful figure immediately flashed in, it was the female ghost Xiaozhuo.
"Why are you? I thought you were gone, and you still dare to come back? Grandma made up her mind to arrest you! No, you should leave quickly!" Xiao Zhuo whispered anxiously, and was about to pull Shifang away, but he saw that the hall was brightly lit, and there were three people eating and drinking on the desk in a corner, and one of the small figures, it was the little brother named Zuo Tianheng, who was stunned for a moment.
Shifang quietly looked out, only to see that the outside of the hall was dark and mushy, and there was no movement, so he immediately pulled Xiao Zhuo into the main hall and closed the door of the hall, "You are finally here, we are here to save the master, let's go, let's talk about it." ”
The two came to the wine table, "Sister Xiao Zhuo, sit down." Zuo Tianheng patted the cushion next to him and said.
Yan Chixia's eyes straightened, "My God, it turns out that female ghosts are so beautiful?!"
Xiao Zhuo saw a lot of men, and ignored him, "Why are you so bold?!You still dare to come back?!Grandma has already received a message from the forest tree spirit grass spirit that there are two scholars from Lanruo Temple, so they sent me to investigate first, why do you have four people here?"
"The number of people is wrong, and that monster's mana is not very good. Yan Chixia said nonchalantly.
Worried about Master's safety, Shifang interrupted Yan Chixia's speech, "Don't interrupt!" He turned his head and said to Xiao Zhuo, "We specially dressed up as scholars, Xiao Zhuo, do you know where my master is?
Xiao Zhuo said, "Your master is very powerful, grandma can't break his robe, and there is no way to take him, so she trapped him around his body, and my ashes altar is also placed there." Grandma's body shifts its location every once in a while, and we ghosts can't come out during the day, so we don't know its exact location. If you want to find it, you can only go to the banyan forest during the day to find it, and the largest and tallest banyan tree is the body of grandma. Your Master must be trapped there. ”
Shifang said worriedly, "Xiao Zhuo, it's not a way for you to come out every night like this, otherwise when we save the master, you will also come to Kailanruo Temple with us, right?"
Zuo Tianheng also said, "Yes, Sister Xiao Zhuo, you are not happy at all when you help that old monster do bad things every day, so you might as well go with us." ”
"No, I used to be a fireworks woman, I was sold here and there, and finally became someone else's concubine. I thought I could finally live a good life, but that night I was beaten to death by another concubine because of jealousy, and that person hastily burned me and buried me in this Lanruo Temple. I've had enough of these hard days, I don't want to go back to the old days, here, I finally have food and drink, and I don't even know where I'm going tomorrow with you. Xiao Zhuo said sadly.
Shifang hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, you don't want to be a ghost, I can let the master overtake you and let you vote for a good family in the next life." ”
"Hehe, Chaodu? Do you know? The underworld is occupied by a big demon named the old demon of Montenegro, and every dead ghost is occupied by him, and the rich and powerful can bribe and pay money, and they can vote for a good family; those who have no money and power are either enslaved by him, or used to practice, and finally all their bodies and spirits are destroyed. A lonely ghost like me can only suffer for the rest of his life, and it is really worse than death. Xiao Zhuo smiled bitterly.
"As long as my sister can be good, Jizo Bodhisattva will bless you. Zuo Tianheng said on the side again.
Xiao Zhuo reached out and touched Zuo Tianheng's face, tears sliding down his cheeks, "It's not that my sister doesn't want to be a good person, but it's difficult to be a good person." Bodhisattvas and Buddhas only know that they are worshiped by others, but they do not know the suffering of the people in the world. The rich worship the Buddha for peace of mind, and the poor can only rely on themselves. Little brother, remember, don't be a good person in the future, this person can only rely on himself to survive. My sister is a ghost and has no ability, so she can only live by her grandmother. ”
Zuo Tianheng was touched by Xiao Zhuo's hand, but he didn't speak, his eyes stared straight at her.
"Open the door quickly, there are ghosts, there are ghosts outside!" a female voice came from the gate outside the hall.
Xiao Zhuo suddenly woke up, "It's Xiaolan! Grandma must have sent her, it seems that grandma is not worried about me, and she is going to absorb everyone tonight, and she will not let go of any of them." ”
As soon as Yan Chixia heard this, she became energetic, "Another one, okay, I'll go, I want to see if this female ghost is so beautiful?!" After speaking, he took a leap and came to the front of the temple gate, and as soon as he opened the door, a crisp green figure stumbled in, and threw himself into Yan Chixia's arms, "There are ghosts outside, I'm so scared~" The voice was coquettish, soft as boneless.
Yan Chixia was a female ghost in her arms and laughed, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'll protect you." As he spoke, he touched the female ghost.
The female ghost was touched by Yan Chixia, and she didn't shirk it, but she writhed around, and there were more places on her body, but she was smiling in Yan Chixia's arms, and the two were immediately entangled.
Shi Fang was shocked, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Zhuo, why didn't the old demon come directly to eat us, and he wanted to send you here first?"
Xiao Zhuo sighed, "When a scholar recites the book of sages, he will have righteousness; a martial artist will have a bloody spirit when he practices martial arts; an official will have an official spirit; a soldier will have a murderous spirit, but if these people encounter our seduction, confusion, and arbitrary immorality, they will lose their breath at this time, then it will be easy for grandma to kill them, absorb the essence of the essence, and it will be effortless." ”
"Is it cause and effect?" Zuo Tianzong, who was drinking, spoke, "Killing people at will will will cause and effect, which is very different from killing people who have fallen into adultery! Although that old demon doesn't necessarily care, but if there is too much cause and effect, there will be karma, and karma will be heavy, and in the end, the gods will definitely be destroyed." The cause and effect of killing a heinous person is very different from killing an innocent person or even a recognized good person. ”
Xiao Zhuo was puzzled, "This son has some truth, but why does the old demon of Montenegro in that underworld not care about good or bad ghosts?"
Zuo Tianzong smiled, "That's in the underworld, and if you mess up the yin law, there is naturally no punishment." But in the yang world, as long as the sun rises and the moon sets, then there is a heavenly way, and the dryad kills people indiscriminately, and when it crosses the calamity, it will naturally rain down thunder to punish it, and it will naturally be careful not to accept the karmic results. But it is you who tempt others to fall into adultery, and this cause and effect is not shallow, and this dryad has used your body to shield it from this calamity. ”
When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he couldn't help but tremble all over, for fear that he would be destroyed soon. Shifang saw it and immediately hugged Xiao Zhuo, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
The conversation on the side of the wine table suddenly attracted the attention of the female ghost over there, who couldn't care about messing with Yan Chixia, looked up here, and saw a little scholar hugging Xiao Zhuo, and another scholar and a boy did not move, so he couldn't help but say, "Why are there four people?" Sister Xiao Zhuo, you are one to three, can you eat enough? Do you want your sister to help you?"
Zuo Tianzong said lightly, "Brother Yan, don't play, kill this female ghost and lure the old demon out." ”
These words fell on the ears of the female ghost, like thunder, and immediately turned over and got up, "You are cheating?!" looked carefully at a few people, and when he saw the scholar who was hugging Xiao Zhuo, he immediately recognized it, "Little monk, it's you? Grandma is looking for you! Okay, look at me and go to grandma to get merit!" After saying that, his hair flicked, and suddenly countless black hairs turned into fine silks, like spider webs, and rushed towards the little monk.
"Hmm, your opponent is me~ Demon, take my spell!" Yan Chixia saw that the matter was revealed, and immediately took out a leather scroll from her arms, and when she opened it in the air, the leather scroll was suddenly opened, and there were columns of spells and charms inside, "The wind and fire gods are like laws, and the spells show the Holy Spirit!", a gossip light spell flew out from the leather scroll and hit the female ghost in the back directly. The female ghost screamed and was hit by the light spell and made a large hole in the wall, knocking out of the temple.
Yan Chixia was about to jump out to chase after her, Zuo Tianzong opened her mouth and said, "Brother Yan, poor Kou Mo chases, she is not a positive angle, we are still here waiting for the old demon to come over." Miss Xiao Zhuo, if you don't want to face your grandmother, then hide aside with Shifang first. ”
Yan Chixia thought for a while, "Okay!"
Shifang also pulled Xiao Zhuo to the side.
After a while, the hall trembled slightly, as if something was moving here. There were several big holes in the top of the main hall before, and before there was a sound, a thick tongue fell from the sky and rolled towards the three people in the hall.
Yan Chixia's eyes widened, "I'm coming!" immediately spread out the leather scroll in her hand, "Heaven and earth are infinite, Qiankun borrows the law!" Suddenly, a sword box flew in the corner of the wall and stood in front of Yan Chixia. Yan Chixia raised her hand and pointed at it, and the sword box immediately opened, and countless flying swords flew out of it and stabbed on the giant tongue. The giant tongue was stabbed by the flying sword, and the wound was cut open, leaving a foul-smelling mucus, and it immediately shrank back from the big hole in pain. Yan Chixia raised her hand and palmed, and a flame emitted, burning the fallen slime clean.
Yan Chixia repelled the attack of the giant tongue, and immediately stood in the hall with a high spirit, beaming with pride, "Brother Zuo, how is it?
Zuo Tianzong nodded, "Brother Yan, please pay attention, that old demon is only afraid that the real body is coming." Before the words fell, the door of the main hall opened, and a tall figure walked in, dressed in colorful clothes, like a man and a woman, with slender nails on his hands, a scarlet tongue trembling in his chest, and a few child-like demons around him, clearly becoming sperm of grass and trees, chattering non-stop.
Yan Chixia pinched the sword trick with her left hand, and wanted to take back the previous flying sword, but there was no reaction, and her face changed, "Brother Zuo is not good, my flying sword was taken away by this old demon." After speaking, he made a move with his right hand, and the big sword on the side jumped and jumped into Yan Chixia's hand.
"Little monk, I was waiting for you to come to save the master, and I thought you were looking for someone to help, hehe, just these few boys, don't think that you are powerful with a big sword, you still hold such a big sword, you want to make me laugh?!haha~" A voice like a man and a woman resounded in the hall. The figure was none other than the tree demon grandmother, with a pair of peach blossom eyes looking around the hall for the trace of the little monk.
