Xuantuo officially entered the temple as a monk, chanting the Buddha every day, and occasionally hitting the morning bell to announce the dawn. At first, his performance was remarkable, no different from other monks. But after a long time, Xuantuo will also feel tasteless about the lightness of the meal.

coincided with the abbot of the heart lamp retreat, and it was impossible to get out of the retreat within half a year. Xuantuo took advantage of this time to be lazy, and knocked on the wooden fish to get up*. It is impossible for the master to have spare time every day to inspect the affairs of the temple, and Xuantuo was promoted to the head of the warrior monk because he practiced a good stick technique.

Every morning, dozens of disciples from all over the temple are training the stick method under the demonstration of Xuantuo. After a month like this, Xuantuo's martial arts were appreciated among his disciples.

This made Xuantuo a little proud, and he knew a lot of materials that could be made. But the nature is difficult to change, when the abbot and the master were concentrating on comprehending the Dharma, Xuantuo took a few disciples with the same smell to go out of the temple to play together under the pretense of turning into a fate.

The outside world makes the disciples of the temple feel very novel, and all kinds of pedestrians shuttle through Suzhou City on the road. One of the disciples said, "Master Xuantuo, we were in a hurry to leave the temple and forgot to take the golden bowl to turn into fate. Do you want us to go back, if the master finds out that we left the temple without permission, we will be punished.

Xuantuo secretly felt that he was rare and strange, and responded: Today, the master will open your eyes and have fun eating together.

When we came to a tavern, another disciple asked, "But we don't have money to eat, so we want to eat the overlord meal?"

Xuantuo patted his chest and said: The silver is on me, you don't have to worry, if you blame it, you will be killed and not admit it. Got it?

After finding a table and sitting down, Xuantuo summoned Xiao Er. Xiao Er slowly walked over and said coldly: What kind of vegetables do the monks want to order?

The disciple said quickly: a plate of cabbage, a plate of radish, and a plate of ......

Xuantuo immediately interrupted the disciple's order: "Don't do that! We are monks who are about to return to the world, so we will order a plate of braised beef, a plate of roast chicken, a plate of boiled fish, and a jar of bamboo leaf green wine.

Xiao Er wrote down the menu, turned around, and said to himself: Order these meat dishes, are they really monks?

While several disciples were arguing, Xuantuo explained, "What do you know? This is called wine and meat passing through the intestines, and the Buddha left it in his heart.

The disciples were all monks since childhood, forgot the taste of meat dishes, and drank wine without any restraint. Xuantuo said: It's delicious, the master will not treat you badly.

Several disciples said in unison: It's delicious! It's still the taste of childhood, and I really miss it.

Xuan Tuo chuckled: It seems that you are quite nostalgic, since I lost my beloved wife, I have not eaten meat dishes once.

One of the disciples said intimately: I heard that the master used to be the southern helmsman of the beggar gang, no wonder the martial arts are so outstanding.

Xuantuo's face changed greatly, and he said sadly: Originally, I was the only heir of the leader of the beggar gang, but Guo Qi, the master of the North Helm, was my enemy everywhere. He can't beat me, so he likes to frame me, causing me to be less popular than him. But now, it's like a dream, and you should be happy in time.

After returning to the temple, it was unfortunate that he encountered the master's routine inspection, and found that Xuantuo and several disciples were full of alcohol, and their faces were full of vigorous teaching. After that, they were each locked up in front of their room for a month to correct their bad habits.

A month later, Xuantuo was still doing his own thing. The disciples who were punished had already left a stain, and they were not afraid of being punished a second time. Xuantuo accidentally learned from those disciples that there was a copy of "Dharma Mind Method" in the Tibetan scripture building in the temple, which was the supreme classic of martial arts in Hanshan Temple.

Xuantuo has always been afraid of the majesty of the master, so he does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool. He is a man who is very good at hiding his ambitions, and he has never slackened off his master's whiskers.

Later, Xuantuo lost his mother's love and often messed with flowers and grass outside. For example, a beautiful nun who falls in love with a nunnery will seduce her with clever words, and after a cloud and rain, her body will be burned and destroyed, leaving no handle for people to catch. Then there were many yellow flower daughters of wealthy families in Suzhou City, who were defiled and then killed.

This incident caused an uproar in Suzhou City. The people gave this demon the nickname of the Flower Thief, and no one knew his identity or physical characteristics, and what he knew had been returned to dust. Ordinary people, as long as there are young women, they will close their doors and windows at night, and rich and noble families will take care of the house guards, and watch the boudoir in shifts day and night.

The incident of the flower thieves subsided for a while, and the people thought that the flower thieves had been scared away by the righteous people.

Xuantuo knew that Suzhou City had entered a state of full alert, and the leader of the beggar gang threatened to capture the flower thief alive with his own hands. At this time, committing another crime is equivalent to stabbing a hornet's nest, and you will be stung out of a bag.

When he has nothing to do, Xuantuo will take a break by the nearby Fengjiang River. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, because a young girl about thirteen years old, with snow-white skin and a delicate face, was washing clothes by the river. Xuantuo asked the girl's name and said that he wanted to send her home, and there were endless rumors outside about the flower thieves bullying men and women. Because Xuantuo is a warrior monk, he can give the girl enough security.

The girl let down her guard and said: My name is Yang Yi, and my home is four miles away from here.

Unbeknownst to him, Xuantuo brought Yang Yi into the depths of the Tianwang Mountain forest, and Yang Yi suddenly felt bad, but it was too late.

Yang Yi was horrified and said: "Monk, what do you want to do? Could it be that you are the rumored flower thief?"

Xuantuo said unscrupulously: I think you are like my dead lady, I want to return to the vulgar, and then marry you.

How could Yang Yi listen to this reason, and suddenly burst into tears, but it was in a remote area, and no one would hear it.

Xuantuo was hungry and thirsty,* and his heart was soaked: No! I am not. Flower thieves will kill people after committing crimes, and I just fell in love with you at first sight.

Yang Yi was very resistant, but he still couldn't escape from Xuantuo's clutches. After Wen Cun's ecstasy, Xuantuo originally had the intention of killing, but when he saw Yang Yi's innocent eyes, he was moved with compassion, and he couldn't bear to attack the girl who was in the prime of her cardamom years, so she threw Yang Yi a bag of silver and let her live well in the future.

After returning to the temple, Xuantuo continued to chant and worship the Buddha without intention. Suddenly, Yang Yi took his parents to find the rights and wrongs of Hanshan Temple. Although he was stopped by the monks, the situation had become uncontrollable.

Xuantuo hurriedly rushed into the scripture building alone, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets. After a long time, I finally found out the "Dharma Heart Method", so I put it in my arms. But when he rushed out, he was blocked by the master. Xuantuo had no choice but to retreat and close the door.

The master said angrily: Bold Xuantuo, he actually deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestors, and insulted the reputation of Hanshan Temple. Today's teacher wants to let you return to the west with your life!

Xuantuo discovers a secret underground passage and lights a torch to set the Scripture Building on fire. The relentless fire engulfed the entire scripture building, and no matter how the monks used water to extinguish the fire, it was a drop in the bucket. The fire burned for three hours, and at last all the building was left in ruins, and all the books were reduced to ashes.

From then on, Xuantuo abandoned the Dharma name and changed back to his old name Caoyang. It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that the flower monk Xuantuo has died in the fire, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, so the world does not know that Xuantuo and Cao Yang are the same person.
