Chapter 11: The Taoist Temple Eliminates Evil

It is said that after Chu Ping left the Jin family, he continued to hurry. Along the way, I didn't encounter a country town store or anything like that, it was just an open field, and I didn't think much about it, so I just buried my head in the road.

It was getting late, and he still couldn't find a place to stay, Chu Ping sighed helplessly: "Cough! I don't know how far we have to go from here to the next town? If it is going to be dark today, is it possible that tonight, I have to sleep in the wilderness?" shook his head again and again, sighed, and had to continue to bury his head forward.

When the moon appeared in the east, he came to a wood, and suddenly saw that not far ahead, there seemed to be a courtyard, taking advantage of the bright moonlight, he took a closer look, and found that it was originally a Taoist temple, and smiled very happily: "Great! Sure enough, it is the road of the heavens! If it is dark today, even if we rush to the town, I am afraid that the city gate has already been closed, so it is better to spend the night in this Taoist temple tonight, and it is not too late to hurry up tomorrow morning!"

Came to the door of the Taoist temple, saw that the door of the Taoist temple was closed, took advantage of the bright moonlight, saw clearly understood, only to see the plaque with the three big characters of "Zixia Temple" written on it. Chu Ping was just about to step forward to call the door, but faintly heard a burst of women's shouts from the door, the sound came and went, sometimes big and sometimes small, Chu Ping felt that something was wrong with the situation, and raised his fist towards the door, "Bang, Bang, Bang" is three fists, and shouted loudly: "Dao Master, please open the door, okay? Dao Ye, please rest assured, there is silver on the lower body, and when he leaves, he will definitely pay more incense, please Dao Ye make it convenient, right?" shouted in his mouth, and with three punches in his hand, he almost smashed the door of the Taoist temple.

It didn't take much time, but I only heard someone inside shouting impatiently: "Who? What kind of door are you smashing in the middle of the night?" As soon as the words fell, I only heard a "bang" sound, the door latch was pulled down, and the door of the Taoist temple slowly opened, only to see a Taoist walking out of it. Chu Ping hurriedly stepped forward, gave a salute to the Taoist, and said: "This Taoist master, there are many disturbances, just because he was greedy for the journey, he missed the accommodation, and now he only feels hungry and thirsty, and he wants to take advantage of the noble view to rest and rest, and by the way, he will ask for some fasting food, and there will be incense in the coming day, I hope that the Taoist can make it convenient!"

When the Taoist heard this, his eyes widened, and he said, "Oh! It turns out that I am here to spend the night, so please wait for a while, let me go in and understand the dean of the Taoist temple, and it is not too late to come and ask again!" As he was talking, he saw another Taoist priest with thick eyebrows and broad eyes, broad shoulders and thick waist, and strange flesh coming out of it, and said to Chu Ping: "Since you are here to spend the night, then please come in!"

"Thank you!" Chu Ping thanked, followed the Taoist priest into the Taoist temple, came to the main hall, only to see the brilliant lights, the huge hall, illuminated as if it was day. Chu Ping found a seat next to the wall and sat down, looked up at the Taoist priest, but saw that his face was very vicious, with a purple-yellow face, two vertical sword eyebrows, a pair of thief wolf eyes, a fierce eye, a pair of nostrils, a sea mouth, two rows of big yellow teeth, revealing the outside of the mouth, and a pair of ears that attracted the wind. This guy seems to have no roots under his feet, his body keeps shaking, and when he leans forward slightly, he only feels the smell of alcohol, and when he sees it, he knows that he is a bad person. Thinking about the sound of a woman calling just now, I guess that something unusual must have happened in this temple.

Chu Ping slowly stood up, made a gesture to the evil Taoist priest, and said: "Dao Chief, I have been yearning to cultivate immortals and visit the Tao since I was a child, and now that I have come here, I only feel that I have a lot of fate with this Zixia Temple, I don't know if it is convenient for the long man, and let me go inside to visit?"

I saw that the evil Taoist priest's eyes rolled slightly, smiled a little unnaturally, and said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say! Since that's the case, Your Excellency, please take care of yourself! It's just that the east side room in the backyard is a forbidden place for this view, so Your Excellency, it's better to enter it!"

Chu Ping smiled reluctantly and agreed: "Oh! Of course!" he secretly thought in his heart: "Hmph! What a thief and old man, you really want to cover up and not admit yourself!

When I came to the apse, I didn't find anything suspicious. I went straight to the backyard again, and saw that there was nothing else in the courtyard except for a big bell in the center of the courtyard. Slowly came to the bell, only to hear someone inside "humming", and said softly: "It seems that there is someone hidden under this bell!" Then he rolled up his sleeves, tucked his shirt, grabbed the iron claw on the bell with one hand, lifted it upwards with force, and then pushed it hard, "Bang Dang" With a sound, the big bell rolled out, and the person hiding in the bell was revealed, squatted down and took a closer look at the person, and saw that he was not a woman, but a young man about thirty years old, only to see that he was tied with his hands behind his back, his feet were tied, and the green silk cloth was still stuffed in his mouth, Chu Ping only felt angry, and hurriedly stepped forward to take out the cloth in the man's mouth, and loosened the binding for him. The man stretched his body for a moment, calmed down, and then said, "Oh! I'm really about to suffocate me!"

Chu Ping asked him, "This brother, dare to ask who you are, why were you detained under the bell by them?"

This person said: "Don't hide it from the father, the next surname is 乜, the double character Shilong, is a native of Heyuan County, Gwangju Prefecture, a few months ago, he and his wife Hu came to Anchun County, not far from here, to visit their aunts, and they were only about to return to their hometown yesterday. Just because he was in a hurry and missed the lodging, he threw himself into this view to rest for a night, ready to leave tomorrow morning. But when the man saw that my luggage was heavy, and that my wife was quite talented, he wanted to kill me, and took my luggage and my wife. Just as the thief was about to make his move, he suddenly heard your excellency knocking at the door, and he put it under the bell, and I almost lost my life. But I don't know where the thief has hidden my wife?"

Chu Ping comforted him and said: "Brother Beg, please rest assured, I already know the whereabouts of my sister-in-law, please come with me!" was about to lead Pao Shilong to the east side of the house, but saw the thief, probe shrank and came not far away, Chu Ping hated the thief in his heart, hurriedly rushed to him, suddenly flew up with a kick, "poof", kicked the thief to the ground, stepped forward and pressed his chest with his knees, stretched out his fist and shook it in front of him, and shouted softly: "Thief, if you dare to shout, I will punch you hard!" When the thief saw that his fist was like a fight, how could he dare to shout! Chu Ping pressed him to the ground and asked softly: "Say, who are you? Why do you do such a deed that destroys your conscience?"

The thief said tremblingly: "Heroic Rongyu! The villain's name is Zhang Quan, the Taoist priest's surname is Ji Dan's name, and the two of us were originally from the green forest, and we only came here half a year ago, and saw that there was no one in this temple, so we stayed temporarily. After a period of observation, it was found that merchants who came and went between the two places would often come to this Taoist temple to borrow it, so we all planned to occupy this Taoist temple in order to get some money to spend it. But I'm just trying to make some money, but I've never killed a single person! I ask the hero to raise his noble hand and spare my dog's life! I promise never to do such deceitful things again. ”

"Phew, shameless thief!" Chu Ping only felt angry, and suddenly raised his hand and beat the thief to death with a punch. Thinking that there was another thief in front of him, he prepared to go and catch him. Unexpectedly, the thief took the knife and walked over to this side, Chu Ping hurriedly hid in the shadows and carefully observed his every move.

It turned out that this season had just been cooking tea in the hall, and by the way, he added some sweat medicine to the tea, and after doing all this, he saw that Chu Ping was reluctant to come back, so he asked Zhang Quan to invite him, but he didn't come back, so he knew that something was wrong, and quietly walked out of the front hall, came to his own room, took off his long-sleeved robe, and carried a bright and dangling Pu knife in his hand, and went straight to the backyard. As soon as I came to the back door, I saw that the person who was pressed under the bell had been released, and I couldn't help but feel angry, and I held a simple knife in my hand to cut it indiscriminately, and shouted angrily: "Stinky boy, I know that you are here, and you have the audacity to take care of Uncle Ben's idle affairs." Boy, there is a kind, get out and have a good fight with the uncle, don't always hide and be a turtle with a shrunken head!

Chu Ping got up and came behind him, and said with a cold smile: "The surname is Ji, you are a thief and a Taoist, this young master is here, if there is a seed, let the horse come!"

Ji Gang turned around, stared at Chu Ping angrily, and shouted: "Stinky boy, you dare to spoil my uncle's good deeds, then you can't complain that I am ruthless! As soon as the words fell, he swung the knife towards the top of Chu Ping's head, Chu Ping quickly turned sideways to dodge, and stabbed him with a sword in the oblique stab, the thief Taoist quickly dodged, a knife was cut according to Chu Ping's door, Chu Ping skillfully performed footwork, bowed his head and dodged the knife, and it was a palm, the thief Taoist was afraid that Chu Ping would use a hidden weapon, and when he was in a hurry to turn sideways, Chu Ping hit him with another sweeping leg, but the thief Taoist priest used a monkey to dodge the sky, and turned his hand back to Chu Ping with another knife, Chu Ping quickly separated the knife with a sword, shook a palm towards the thief Taoist, flew up with his left leg, and kicked straight to him。 The thief Taoist dodged and dodged, Chu Ping swept over with a sword, the thief Taoist leaned back to dodge, turned around sharply, and shook his hand with a knife. Fortunately, Chu Ping's eyes were quick, he flashed his body, and he dodged it skillfully, and the thief Taoist priest fell backwards and slashed at Chu Ping with a knife, Chu Ping saw that the thief Taoist priest was slashing at himself with a knife, so he made a "Haidilao Moon" style slammed over, due to excessive force, he actually knocked the knife in the hand of the thief Taoist priest out in an instant, and put the sword on the neck of the thief Taoist, and shouted: "Ji Gang, what else do you have to say now?"

Ji Gang said disdainfully: "Hmph! Since ancient times, the winner is the king, and the loser is the villain! Today, since I have been defeated in the hands of your kid, I can only blame Uncle Ji for my own lack of skill, and my skills are not as good as others, I have nothing to say." Boy, if you want to kill or chop, listen to you! I just ask you to be able to be sharp when you start, so as not to teach my uncle to suffer my life!"

Chu Ping smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I won't kill you, I will send you to the official mansion so that you can receive a fair trial." He turned his head and said to Qi Shilong: "Brother Qi, I think this thief must have hidden his sister-in-law in that east side room, bother Brother Li, you go there and rescue your sister-in-law yourself!"

"Okay!" replied His.

Unexpectedly, while the two of them were talking, Ji Gang suddenly slammed away the sword that Chu Ping was holding around his neck, and quickly ran towards the door, his feet were full of strength, ready to flee from here. Unexpectedly, Chu Ping kicked the thief's Pu knife that fell to the ground with his foot, and kicked it towards him, only to hear a scream of "Ahh Chu Ping quietly came to him, stretched out his hand, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Beg, what's wrong with you? Why don't you go to that room and rescue your sister-in-law?"

Only then did he come back to his senses, settle down, and said, "Ahh

It didn't take much effort, but I saw that Qi Shilong really led a woman out of the room, Chu Ping glanced at the woman slightly, and saw that she really looked a little good, and there were still a little tears on her face, it seemed that she had just cried. Looking at her body again, except for the left shoulder of her blouse, which was torn open by thieves, the rest of the place is fine. I saw the woman wipe her tears with her hand, and suddenly saw Ji Gang who fell to the ground, rushed over with an arrow, pulled out the Pu knife inserted in his back, and poked the thief a few more times, turned around, but saw Zhang Quan, who was knocked unconscious by Chu Ping, and quickly ran towards him with a knife, Chu Ping didn't have time to step forward to stop her, only to see the woman raise the knife high, roar, and slam it into Zhang Quan's chest, "poof", splashing three feet of blood. Poor Zhang Quan, he didn't have time to wake up, but he fell asleep forever.

Seeing that the two thieves had died, Chu Ping was helpless, and shook his head again and again: "Oh! I didn't say you, this sister-in-law, why are you so anxious? Why do you have to kill him? I originally planned to send him to the government, but now it's okay, I was stabbed to death by you, but I save myself from running errands." ”

The woman hurriedly knelt down in front of Chu Ping, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you Engong for coming to rescue me and my wife in time, if it weren't for Engong coming to rescue me in time, the little woman would not only be in danger of her reputation, but I am afraid that even her life would have been buried in the hands of these two thieves." Engong, concubine, thank you for saving the lives of my husband and wife!" After saying that, he kept kowtowing to Chu Ping. Before Chu Ping had time to speak, even her husband Qi Shilong actually knelt on the ground with a "plop", and kowtowed to Chu Ping again and again: "Engong, I also kowtow to you, thank Engong for your life-saving grace to my husband and wife!"

Seeing that the two of them were like this, Chu Ping felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said, "Hurry up, how can you afford such a big gift from the two of you?"

Only then did the two of them stand up, and their gratitude continued. Chu Ping said with embarrassment: "Actually, I don't hide it from the two of you, I happened to come here to spend the night, so I caught up with this matter, and the two of you really don't have to be so polite." ”

The woman hid her face and smiled, and said, "Anyway, it is true that Engong saved the lives of my husband and wife, so my husband and wife will definitely always remember Engong's life-saving grace to both of us." ”

"That's it, that's it, my husband and I will always remember Engong's kindness to me, and I won't dare to forget it for the rest of my life!"

Chu Ping stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and smiled quite embarrassedly: "Actually, there is really no need for the two of you to be so polite, I ......!" Before Chu Ping could continue to speak, he only heard a "gurgling" sound from his stomach, only to feel embarrassed, and his face immediately turned red.

When he heard the "gurgling" sound, he didn't know what was going on, so he looked at his wife and asked, "Lady, what's going on with this gurgling? What kind of bug is this calling?"

Seeing that he was so stupid, the woman couldn't help but push him lightly, and said, "Oh, I said you idiot, where is this worm calling, it's obvious that Engong's stomach is hungry! You can't even see such a simple thing, you are so stupid that you are!"

Qi Shilong involuntarily stretched out his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "Oh! I see! Then I'll go out and buy some food for Engong immediately." With that, he turned around and was about to run out of the Taoist temple.

The woman hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab him, and reproached him: "Oh, I said you idiot, look at what time is this now! Besides, there is no village in front of this place, and there is no store in the back, where are you going to buy food? In my opinion, these two kings and eight lambs have been entrenched in this Taoist temple for so long, and there will definitely be a lot of ingredients hidden, so you might as well go and search around, and give them to me after you find these things, so I can't make a good meal for Engong?"

He slapped his thigh violently and exclaimed, "Oh, yes, why didn't you think of this?

The woman smiled and said, "Alright, alright, don't grind here!

"Oh, okay, I'm going to look for the ingredients!" he turned around and left the place to look for the ingredients. The woman looked at her husband's departing figure, shook her head helplessly, and smiled with her sleeves covered. Turning his head, he said to Chu Ping: "Engong, you can find a place to sit down and wait for a while, I will go and cook for you, and it will be fine in a while!" Before Chu Ping could say half a sentence, he turned around and left here. Chu Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "This couple is really funny! It seems that I am going to eat ready-made food for nothing today!" Chu Ping stepped to the corpses of the two thieves, dragged them to a corner, picked up some hay, hastily covered the bodies of the two thieves, found a chair and put it in front of the table to sit down, and waited quietly.

The work is not big, Qi Shilong and his wife brought the steaming rice Lai, placed it on the table in front of Chu Ping in turn, and looked down, in addition to fried carrots, shredded tofu mixed with cabbage, fried tomatoes with eggs, fried garlic with eggs, dried tofu, fried peanuts and other six small dishes, there is also a whole roast chicken, the staple food is six big white steamed buns, and a jar of apricot blossom old wine, the woman said to Chu Ping: "Engong, we only found these, so please ask Engong to eat some!"

Chu Ping couldn't help but smile ashamedly, and said, "It's really troublesome, the two of you have worked so hard for me, but it really makes me feel a little embarrassed!"

Qi Shilong hurriedly smiled and said: "Look at what you said, if it weren't for Engong, you arrived in time and rescued us, I'm afraid that our couple would have died a long time ago, and now what is it to cook such a meal for Engong?"

"That's right, Engong, the two of us made such a small dish for Engong, so we have the right to repay your kindness to Engong. Engong, please use it slowly, the two of us won't bother you to eat here. With that, he took her husband and left here for the time being. Seeing the two of them leaving, Chu Ping couldn't help but smile, and then, he took the chopsticks and began to enjoy the "retributive meal" made by the couple especially for him.

After Chu Ping was full of wine and food, Qi Shilong and his wife came back here again, and smiled excitedly at Chu Ping: "Engong, since you have eaten and drunk enough, you might as well go to a place with us and go there to see a treasure, right?"

"Baby?" Chu Ping couldn't help but say in surprise: "Please make it clear, I don't know what kind of treasure you two want to go with the two of you?"

The woman smiled and said, "Oh, Engong, don't you know if you go with us!

Seeing them in such a mysterious and secret place, Chu Ping couldn't help but feel a little curious in his heart, so he had to go with him and his wife.

I don't know what kind of baby it is?
