Chapter 2 Half Zen, Clogs and Yellow Beams
This world, after all, is not all a peaceful paradise.
Zhang Xiaoquan cut off the head of the corpse of the flower thief in front of him, wiped the blood off the knife, looked at the direction of the Tiger Barrage Mountain, and clenched his fists.
One more thing missing.
He already has a goal, a wandering monk came to the ruined temple outside the city, I heard that he is idle all day long, neither worshipping the Buddha and chanting scriptures, nor understanding the fate of Zen, he must not be a good person.
Zhang Xiaoquan buried the body, took care of it, and walked towards the city.
Xingyang City.
The shops and markets were closed, and the pedestrians were sparse and hurried, and for a while they couldn't even find a place to eat.
Zhang Xiaoquan saw a strange person, to be precise, a strange Taoist priest.
The Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe is common and clean, but he has wooden clogs on his feet and a pu fan in his hand, which looks nondescript. There is a signboard beside the Taoist priest, which reads: "Ask everything, know everything, say everything, talk about all the earthly things here; ”
Zhang Xiaoquan felt so strange, and the ghost stepped forward and pointed to the signboard: "Are you accurate?"
The Taoist priest glanced at him, shook the fan lightly and smiled: "I know everything I know." ”
Zhang Xiaoquan pulled out his knife.
The Taoist priest did not move, but his smile was still the same.
Zhang Xiaoquan was a little surprised, and then wrote the word "filial piety" on the ground with a knife. "Let's just test this word. ”
The Taoist priest put down the pu fan and watched it carefully, and suddenly restrained his smile and his face was heavy.
Zhang Xiaoquan wanted to see what kind of medicine he could sell in the gourd, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
The Taoist priest raised his head and said solemnly: "The thunder head and wind structure the straight tail, it is desolate and begging for death. Why should Your Excellency do this..."
Zhang Xiaoquan's heart tightened, and the knife in his hand seemed to be raised, tangled, and finally subsided.
"I'm still really capable of you, it's just nonsense, are you going to sell me a few talismans to keep me safe?"
The Taoist priest laughed: "I didn't expect to be seen through by you, come on, come on, my universal talisman will definitely be able to protect you from evil and turn evil into good fortune, drive away evil and avoid evil, not expensive or expensive, one or two silver is enough for ......"
Ordinary people are estimated to beat this stinky Taoist priest after hearing it, and one or two pieces of silver are not expensive. Zhang Xiaoquan was stunned for a moment, Xu didn't expect to expose his true face at once, and then laughed, took out a tael of silver, and bought this shoddy "universal talisman".
Zhang Xiaoquan tied the talisman around his waist and walked towards the inn.
Behind him, the Taoist in clogs danced happily, and a sigh seemed to be heard.
At night, the moon is hidden.
In a ruined temple outside the city, a monk was eating roast chicken.
Suddenly, the wind came, and the doors and windows were opened, and then closed again. One person was already in the temple.
The person who came was obviously Zhang Xiaoquan. He looked at the monk in front of him and couldn't help frowning. Apparently the monk was not surprised at all, and was concentrating on eating roast chicken.
"Monks also eat meat?"
"Monks are also human beings. ”
"Don't tell the rules and precepts?"
"When the Buddha is in my mouth, I need the precepts, and when the Buddha is in my heart, I will be free as soon as possible." ”
"What is a Buddha?"
"The Buddha is the sustenance of faith, the Buddha is the three rivers and five mountains, the Buddha is in my heart, one glory and one withered are dust; ”
By this time, the monk had finally finished eating the roast chicken. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Xiaoquan squarely.
Zhang Xiaoquan frowned: "You know I'm going to kill you?"
The monk pointed at Zhang Xiaoquan: "You can't hide the Buddha in your heart." ”
Zhang Xiaoquan smiled: "Do you know that I have killed nine people, don't expect me to show mercy......"
The monk is still sitting, like a statue: "Kill me again and become a Buddha, I will do what I want." ”
A trace of hesitation flashed in Zhang Xiaoquan's eyes, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Monk, report your name, if there is a chance, I will set up a monument for you......"
The monk smiled: "The poor monk's Dharma is half Zen." ”
There was a flash of thunder, and a flash of swords.
Zhang Xiaoquan walked out of the broken temple, holding a head in his hand.
Tiger barrage mountain, where the bandits and tiger roaring gang gather. The Tiger Roar Gang has 128 people, who are famous for their murder and have committed several major crimes, especially the case of the Zhang family's extermination in Xingyang City. I heard that it was just because the gang leader Wang Hu fell in love with the daughter of the Zhang family, and he saluted first and then soldiers, and coercion and inducement failed, but he didn't expect the Zhang family to report to the official and lose many of his subordinates. Wang Hu was so angry that he bribed the guards guarding the city gate, raped and killed the daughter of the Zhang family, and destroyed the Zhang family. Later, he bribed officials and suppressed the matter, saying that the Zhang family colluded with the Hu people, and was later killed by the Hu people, and they deserved it. It is precisely because of this that everyone in Xingyang City is in danger, not to mention that they dare not go out at night or during the day.
As a result, the Tiger Roar Gang has become a place for outlaws. But the Tiger Roar Gang has a rule that those who want to join the gang first submit their names - the heads of ten people to prove their sincerity.
Today, the Tiger Roar Gang held a feast, and some people put people into the gang.
Wang Hu was very happy that since that rule was established, there had been no new brothers joining the gang for a while. Of course, those who can come must be good hands.
Zhang Xiaoquan came to the hall, and there were 38 people in the hall, all of whom were Wang Hu's henchmen, and all of them were sinners in the Zhang family's murder case.
Wang Hu gave three bowls of wine, one gave the rivers and lakes a long way, the second gave the heroic demeanor, and the third gave the brother Yijian.
Zhang Xiaoquan was punished with three bowls of wine, one punished for incomplete filial piety, two punished for failing to live up to good wishes, and three punished for revenge delay.
The wine was exhausted, and Zhang Xiaoquan looked at Wang Hu on the high seat smiling, just like the hideous when his face was full of blood. He drank another glass of wine.
For the one who he slain, for the monk.
No more than fifty steps.
There are broken bowls, wine spilled, people shouting, there is a sudden wind, there is thunder.
When the dust is timed, Zhang Xiaoquan stands on a high seat, with a knife in his hand and a head under his feet.
On the side, Zhang Hu's body collapsed.
......
When there is a sound again, it is like clogs stepping on the ground, like a monk knocking on a wooden fish.
It's a bit funny, but it's a Taoist priest and a monk coming side by side.
The Taoist priest frowned: "Is this really good?"
The monk clasped his hands together: "The knot in the heart is not dissolved, the knot cannot be opened, and the end is not alive." ”
It was the Taoist priest who was a clogs and sighed: "I was accepted as a righteous son by the master of the Zhang family at a young age, and I fell in love with Miss Zhang's childhood sweetheart, but unfortunately I learned art for a few years...... Goodbye is already such a bleak sight. Filial piety is still difficult...... No wonder I tried to persuade him to stop, but he didn't listen at all, it seems that you did the right thing. ”
"Thank you for your puppet double......"
"Can the miraculous medicine Huang Liang really bring the dead back to life?"
"You can't die if you want to live. ”
"Wonderful hand Wei Jue is really powerful. ”
As he was talking, he had arrived at the Tiger Roaring Gang. There were thirty-nine corpses in the hall, and one man was cross-legged with a knife, and he had ten wounds on his body, and the wounds were visible to the bone.
The half-Zen monk carried Zhang Xiaoquan on his back, and the clogs did not grind again.
Two people go up the mountain, three people go down.
On this day, the Tiger Roar Gang was removed.
Later, Xishan Temple had a senior monk after the half-Zen monk, and the law name was Huangliang.
