Chapter 61: The Market Reunion
"I broke the Golden Buddha and caused the master to be captured, blaming me for being too stupid~" Seeing Zuo Tianheng beside him, the emotions of the little monk of the ten directions burst out at once. Just now, the battle between Baiyun Zen Master and the tree demon grandmother was too fast, and he was dazzled by Shifang, and he had not yet gotten rid of the scene of the master's defeat and capture, at this moment Shifang saw the familiar Zuo Tianheng, although the other party was just a child, but he finally had someone to talk to, and immediately began to blame himself, looking depressed.
Zuo Tianheng looked at the little monk of Shifang who was crying like a child in front of him, and knew that he had been under a lot of psychological pressure. Shifang people are very honest, usually look happy, heartless, but treat Baiyun Zen Master like a father, sometimes in awe, sometimes coquettish.
It's a pity that he met the female ghost Xiao Zhuo in this Lanruo Temple, and the two were emotionally entangled, and they couldn't tell the taste. Last night, when I met Xiao Zhuo for the first time, I dropped the Golden Buddha and burned Zuo Tianzong's luggage, which caused Shifang to feel a lot of pressure in his heart; tonight he saved Xiao Zhuo, was captured by the tree demon, and the master was defeated and captured, this series of blows finally made Shifang's emotions vent, and he cried by the lotus pond.
Zuo Tianheng patted Shifang on the shoulder, "Brother Shifang, don't cry." Since the Golden Buddha is broken, we will find someone to fix it; if it is not repaired, there is my brother, my brother is strong in martial arts, and he will definitely defeat the monsters; no matter how bad it is, we can also find other people to help." ”
Shifang squatted on the ground and cried for a while, his emotions were vented in his heart, which was better, and when he heard Zuo Tianheng persuading himself, he also replied, "Thank you for the enlightenment of Zuo Xiao's donor, Shifang is rude." Yes, we can't mess around now, let's find a way to repair the Golden Buddha first. ”
Zuo Tianheng said, "Brother Shifang, can you show me the broken Golden Buddha?"
Shifang opened the skin, and the golden Buddha that was broken into two was revealed in front of Zuo Tianheng's eyes.
This golden Buddha is made of pure gold, eight or nine inches high, extremely heavy, a small piece weighs about thirty or forty pounds, Zuo Tianheng's small arms and legs naturally can't be picked up, so he put it on the ground and looked at it carefully. The Buddha statue is a common Shakyamuni Buddha who is in charge of the central world, the Buddha is a seated statue, the legs are cross-legged and sit on the throne, the left hand is covered by the left knee, the four fingers touch the ground, and the demon seal is cast; the right hand is bent and raised in front of the chest, the fingers are naturally stretched, the palm is outward, the fearless seal is applied, the eyes are closed, and the back is the flame pattern that is soaring and burning, which means warding off evil spirits and exorcism, sacred and inviolable.
I don't know if this Buddha statue is blessed by one or more senior monks all year round, or it may be someone else's treasure of the temple, and it is actually blessed with the effect of the mantra in the Buddhist six-character mantra.
The six-character mantra of Buddhism is the mantra of Om, Ma, Ma, Horn, Mi, and Ng, which is the fundamental mantra handed down by Shakyamuni Buddha. Shakyamuni Buddha is the founder of Buddhism, is the first to spread Buddhism in the central world, so he is respected in the Buddhist scriptures as the master, these six words are to reveal the existence of all Buddhism in Buddhism, translated as, "Wishful Treasure, lotus." Among them, the word "Ruyi" means "Ruyi", which belongs to the core of the treasure department, representing the meaning of inexhaustible, inexhaustible, whatever you want, and no dissatisfaction. The core of the Diamond Sutra preached by the mysterious monk Lusi Huade is the last word of the six-character mantra, which belongs to the core of the Vajra Department, representing the gradual progress, diligent practice, purifying sentient beings, achieving everything, and finally reaching the realm of Buddha.
Therefore, it means that the wish has been fulfilled, and it means that you will never retreat and be brave and diligent.
This golden Buddha was powerless, but only played the function of a mana amplifier, any spell released through the golden Buddha can have the effect of increasing several times or even ten times, just like the megaphone of Lu Xihua's world. It's just that it is still a Buddha statue made of pure gold, and it is estimated that it is used by the temple as a magic weapon to display Buddha relics and pray for sentient beings through the blessing of the monk's mana. It itself does not have the characteristics of subduing demons and subduing demons, and it is strong and unhurried, no wonder it was blown open by the female ghost Xiao Zhuo's mouth with a strange light. It was not held in the hands of the practicing monks, it was just an ordinary pure gold Buddha statue, which was shattered with a single blow.
As soon as Zuo Tianheng looked at the Golden Buddha, he had a general understanding of its origin and efficacy, and his heart was at ease.
"Ten directions, ten directions~" A soft voice echoed in the sky above the front yard.
The little monk of the ten directions was highly nervous at the moment, and as soon as he was called by this voice, he immediately stood up from the ground, held a Zen staff and went around on guard, and firmly protected Zuo Tianheng behind him.
"Who, who's talking, come out quickly!" Shifang trembled with a Zen staff in his hand, but there was no fear in his mouth.
"Hurry up, grandma is going to come to the temple to catch you~" The voice said again.
Shifang heard it clearly this time, and couldn't help but shout, "Xiao Zhuo, are you really you?
"It's too late, you guys go with this dress, so that you can get out of the banyan forest and don't come back!" the female voice said quickly, and a colorful robe fluttered through the trees, blown away by the wind.
Zuo Tianheng persuaded, "Brother Shifang, we now focus on repairing the Golden Buddha and rescuing the old man." Don't worry about anything else, rush out first, and come back to clean up these monsters when the rescuers are moved. ”
Shifang looked back at the main hall, his bags, Buddhist scriptures, and clothes were all in it, and now he had to give up, and he couldn't help but stomp his feet, holding a Zen stick, and pulling up Zuo Tianheng's small hand to follow the distant colorful clothes and running, "Okay! Zuo Tianheng almost laughed out loud when he heard Shifang's words, this little monk really used words indiscriminately.
Shifang took Zuo Tianheng away, leaving his voice in the air, "Xiao Zhuo, take care, I'll be back~"
At this moment, on a pagoda at the gate of Lanruo Temple, the figure of the female ghost Xiao Zhuo is revealed, and at this moment, Xiao Fluttershy, with tears on her face, shouted to the little monk of the ten directions who went away, "You can't fight grandma, let's go!"
Shifang heard Xiao Zhuo's voice, and when he saw this, Xiao Zhuo shouted again, "Follow the clothes, don't look back, you go~"
When Shifang heard this, his face was resolute, his body paused, and he continued to run forward with Zuo Tianheng.
"Remember, don't come back~The farther you go, the better~" Xiao Zhuo's soft voice echoed in the banyan forest, and tears of parting fell in the air.
Shifang ran all the way with Zuo Tianheng, and when he rushed out of the huge banyan forest, the eastern horizon had been smeared with a little white, "It's dawn~" Shifang stopped, looked back and looked behind him, the vast banyan forest was still shrouded in darkness, like the mouth of a giant beast, and he didn't know where it led. "Let's go, let's go find someone to repair the Golden Buddha. ”
The market is still noisy, many customers are shuttling between shops, and countless transactions are carried out in private.
Shifang and Zuo Tianheng walked cautiously through the crowded crowd. Shifang was holding the leather bag with both hands, looking like he was afraid that others would come to rob him, and Zuo Tianheng was holding the corner of Shifang's clothes, and he followed suit.
"Little Master, come and take a look at the blades in our shop, you are a monk, I will give you a twenty-percent discount. A man grabbed Shifang's clothes and dragged them to his shop.
Shi Fang was so frightened that he refused repeatedly, "The little monk doesn't have any silver taels on him." ”
"No silver taels, you came here to waste the uncle's time, get out!" Shifang was pushed back into the street by the man again, and he almost fell with Zuo Tianheng.
The two turned a corner, and were pulled by a boss again, "The blades of my shop, the refined iron content is ninety-ninety-nine, the little master come in and take a look." ”
"I'm not interested~"
"Damn, what are you messing up with?!Hurry up!"
"Anyone who buys more than ten taels of goods in my store will give a refined horseshoe, and the little master will consider it. ”
"My family will send two, and the little master will come to my house!"
Shifang was pulled around by several shop owners, and Zuo Tianheng beside him was also shaking his body, standing uncertainly, he really couldn't do it, and shouted loudly, "I'm here to turn fate!
"Damn, it's a fate, fuck off!"
Shifang and Zuo Tianheng were pushed out of the crowd, and only then did they get quiet, this street was full of bandits and bullies, and the monks who turned into a fate were naturally not welcomed.
"Alas, these days, the wicked are in charge, and there is no good person to find them. A voice came from the corner of the street, and when I looked for the sound, I saw a tattered blacksmith shop on the corner, without a single blade in it, and the thin boss was shirtless, standing on tiptoe, and hanging iron chains on the beams.
Shifang sighed, "There are still good people in the world~" immediately put the leather bag on his back, stepped forward and took the chain in the hands of the short boss, "I'll help you hang it." So saying, he hung the chain in his hand to the beam.
"Little master, there are a lot of dragons and snakes here, you better go quickly. The short boss said as he packed up his iron-striking tools in the toolbox.
Shifang was also in a hurry to go to the doctor at the moment, and when he saw that the short boss did not solicit customers, but looked discouraged, he immediately asked, "Boss, is your account an ironworker?"
"It's not anymore, I can't do business honestly, I'd better go home and farm. The short boss listened to Shifang's words, didn't look back, and waved the tools in his hand, "Look, there is no business, and the tools are rusty." ”
Shifang saw that there was a furnace of molten iron in the shop, and hurriedly grabbed the boss, "Let's leave after finishing my order?"
The short boss shook his head, "I'm not selling weapons, you better go to another house." ”
"Boss, I'm not buying weapons, but asking you to help me glue something. Shifang said as he quietly opened the skin, revealing a corner, "Boss, look~"
The short boss poked his head above the leather bag, only to see that there was glittering gold in it, and immediately pulled Shifang away, led a few steps into the store, and said softly, "Little monk, do you want to die?!" Dare to expose this thing in this place, if people see it, you don't even have scum, put it away quickly, and get out of here." ”
"Help, I'm waiting to save someone. Shifang saw that the short boss did not forcibly take away his golden Buddha, but persuaded himself to leave the market carefully, and his heart was happy, and he finally met a good person, so he naturally refused to leave, and begged the boss to make up for the golden Buddha.
The short boss shook his head, "You stole this golden Buddha, right? I don't repair stolen goods~" After speaking, he was about to turn around.
Shi Fang grabbed the short boss by the shoulder, "Boss, do you look like a thief? This is a treasure of my temple. ”
The short boss sighed, "Okay, I'll be a good person again, who told me to be kind-hearted?"
Shifang took out the two golden Buddhas from his skin and handed them to the short boss, who muttered, "It's so heavy, it looks like it's pure gold." ”
Shifang explained, "This is a treasure in my temple, and it is naturally pure gold. ”
The short boss did not answer, but carefully carried the golden Buddha to the stove, poured the two golden Buddhas into an empty iron box, covered them, and pressed them with something.
Shi Fang reacted at this time, and grabbed the short boss, "Boss, what are you doing here?
The short boss suddenly stood tall at this moment, and shouted loudly, "What Golden Buddha, I don't even know what you're talking about?
Shi Fang was so angry that his head was dizzy, "You just put the Golden Buddha in the iron box, give it back to me!" After speaking, he was about to lift the things on the iron box and open the lid of the iron box.
The short boss pushed Shifang out, "Don't touch my tools!
Where can Shifang manage so much now, and those who don't want to die will rush forward, "Return my Golden Buddha, return my Golden Buddha, I'm waiting to save my life!"
"You go, I won't do your business!" The short boss arrogantly stopped in front of the iron box, not letting the little monk get close for half a minute.
The little monk of Shifang was so angry that he grabbed the neck of the short boss with his hand and shook it vigorously, "Give it back to me, give it back quickly, this is what I want to use to save the master!" Although Shifang is young, in his early twenties, he is also tall, and in the face of the short boss, he is condescending and has some advantages, and he is so eager that the boss almost breathes with his hands.
"Big brother, big brother, what's the matter!" The quarrel in the blacksmith shop quickly attracted seven or eight men who were also striking iron around the shop, and rushed into the shop with blades and weapons, which separated the furious Shifang from the short boss.
The short boss took off Shifang's hand and immediately shouted, "If the little monk can't buy something, he will beat someone! Everyone will beat him!" As soon as the words fell, several men were about to lift the hammer and fall on Shifang's body.
Shifang shouted in a panic, "I don't want to hit your eldest brother either, it was your eldest brother who deceived my Golden Buddha!"
"Golden Buddha?!" Suddenly, the seven or eight men in the store stopped their movements, and they all repeated this seductive word, "Gold?"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shifang explained, "It's not gold, it's Buddha!"
The short boss didn't wait for Shifang to explain, and shouted, "This little monk has a lot of gold on him!
"Huh?!" Immediately everyone's eyes looked at Shifang, like hungry jackals, with greedy light in their eyes, and they were about to start grabbing when they saw it.
Suddenly, there was a "click" on the top of the blacksmith shop, and the thatched roof fell, covering the people in the blacksmith shop, and a voice shouted, "Brother Shifang, go away!" A small hand took Shifang's hand in the crowd, and pulled Shifang outward, and immediately dragged Shifang out of the toppled roof, and the owner of the small hand was Zuo Tianheng.
As soon as the two of them arrived outside the blacksmith shop, eight or nine men had already turned over and jumped up, carrying weapons and shouting to the ten directions, "Don't let the little monk escape!"
Shifang was so anxious that he picked up Zuo Tianheng and ran. The two were chased by the men behind them, and they panicked, so they had to go to a crowded place. Ran a street, both of them were out of breath, the slower they ran, the road of the market was uneven, the ten directions ran in a panic, accidentally stepped on a pit, the body fell forward, just fell on a table on the side of the road, knocked a bowl on the table out, the soup overflowed. Zuo Tianheng in Shifang's arms was also thrown to the ground.
A man in Xuanyi was eating noodles at the dining table, and was hit by a black shadow on his table, and the noodles and bowls flew out, and he was immediately furious, grabbed the collar of the black shadow that fell on the table, and when he mentioned it, he was about to punch and beat people, but he was stunned. "It's you!little monk!" looked at the black shadow that fell on the ground next to him, "And you doll?!"
Shifang closed his eyes and was about to be beaten, but he didn't wait for his fist to fall, and then he opened his eyes and saw that it was the man in Xuanyi who killed a few thieves who stole money in the suburban pavilion he met the day before yesterday, and he was surprised in his heart, and he also blurted out, "It's you?!"
When the eight or nine men chasing over there saw this scene, they immediately stopped, "Stop, stop, stop for me!" It seems that they know the man in Xuanyi who eats noodles.
Shifang knew that the man in Xuanyi was strong in martial arts, and immediately asked him for help, "Chivalry, they robbed me of something!"
The man in the dark clothes immediately yelled at the eight or nine men who stopped seven or eight steps away, "What do you want to do?!"
"He knows how to do sorcery! We can't beat it, run!" A voice came from the crowd, and suddenly eight or nine men scattered, turned around and ran back.
The man in Xuanyi turned his head and asked with a smile, "What, little monk, do you want me to help you now?"
Shifang nodded involuntarily.
The man in Xuanyi immediately smiled and helped Shifang and Zuo Tianheng on the ground up, took out a small abacus from his arms, and began to calculate, "Your master caused me to lose ten taels last time, this time to help you get things back, we are acquaintances, give you a discount, charge five taels, a total of fifteen taels." ”
Shifang was chased for a whole street, and now he was out of breath, and said intermittently, "They, they robbed the golden Buddha in our temple!"
The man in Xuanyi immediately widened his eyes, "Ah?!golden?, then it's more expensive, I'll take a look, the shooting fee is three hundred taels, plus the noodles I ate just now~ Thank you, a total of three hundred and fifteen taels." ”
Shifang didn't have the strength to think about why a bowl of noodles cost five taels of silver at the moment, but he just opened his mouth and said, "I don't have any silver?"
As soon as the man in Xuanyi heard this, his face immediately changed, "Then forget it, what do you say if you don't have any money?" I don't want any money, you can go!" turned around and was about to leave.
"My brother has silver!" a child's voice said, and suddenly the man in the dark clothes turned back again. "Little doll, are you telling the truth?You know, it's not right for children to deceive people~"
Zuo Tianheng opened his eyes and looked innocent, "My brother has silver on him, he bought a horse, and when he comes back, I will give it to you!"
The man in Xuanyi recalled that he had seen Zuo Tianzong in the suburban pavilion before, and he only felt that the man was handsome, and he also took the baked cake for himself to eat, which tasted good, and immediately had a good impression, "Haha, it's easy to do things if you have silver!" Little doll, don't lie to your brother, otherwise your brother will get angry, it's very terrible." Let's go, let's go get back the little monk's things!"
After the man in Xuanyi finished speaking, he lifted the big sword in his hand, and immediately went in the direction of the few men who had fled before, and Shifang hurriedly picked up Zuo Tianheng and caught up from behind.
