When the bankers saw that these young hunters had gone far away, they all came over one by one, and they kept calling "sir" and "living Buddha" in their mouths. There are also those who don't know what to do, so they want to carry the burden for Li Yu and help Lu Zhishen take the Zen staff.

Li Yu just waved his hand and said: "My burden is unusual, and you don't have a trace of Taoism, so you can't pick up this burden." Those Zhuang Ke were good sellers, and said with a smile: "Sir's words are bad, we have to carry water and dung to do our work on weekdays, and Mr. Liang's burden is just to carry some clothes and scriptures, how can we not move." ”

On the side, Lu Zhishen saw that these villagers didn't know the depths, and laughed: "You guys try my Zen staff, if you can't move it, the burden will not even want to move." ”

There are also those who don't believe in evil, so they came to carry the Zen staff for Lu Zhishen, and the seventy-two pounds of Xuantie Zen staff almost couldn't bear it as soon as it fell on the shoulder, and suddenly shouted: "Master is really from Wutai Mountain Manjushri Bodhisattva, such a big force, isn't it a living Arhat!"

Lu Zhishen patted his stomach, pointed to Wei Ye in front of him and said: "The Sprinkle family is not an Arhat, but that gentleman is a true immortal, you flatter the Sprinkle family, why do you flatter him?"

These bankers just smiled and said, "Master, that gentleman is young, he has a short beard and does not see his age, and he speaks harshly. Such a true immortal, we vowed to eat fast with Taoist priests, and don't meet such a fairy master. ”

Lu Zhishen listened, just carrying the Zen staff, laughing all the way, and chasing Wei Ye all the way.

The steward in front led the way, leading Wei Ye to the front of the first mansion in this manor. There is already an old man, wearing a Dongpo scarf on his head, wearing a kudzu gauze robe, and a rattan cane in his hand, looking at the door.

The old man saw the steward leading a Taoist in a bamboo crown and brocade suit, and his face couldn't help but be happy, and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Xiaozhuang is meeting Mr. today, it is really a great joy, and please invite Mr. to come inside, and the little old man will serve tea and prepare for fasting." ”

Wei Ye glanced the old man up and down, arched his hand, and said "There is labor", so he followed the old man honestly and unceremoniously to the hall, and Lu Zhishen, Xu Xuanling and his party were also introduced into the house by the housekeeper Zhuangke, and everyone sat down.

The old man was overjoyed when he saw the three Taoist priests and two monks coming to the door, and asked the maid boy to serve fruit and tea on the one hand, and on the other hand, he held a cup of fragrant herb drink, and first held it and Wei Ye said: "The weather is hot, please use some drinks to relieve the heat." ”

Wei Ye took the drink, put it down after a slight dip of his lips, the old man held the teacup again, and then respected Lu Zhishen, Xu Xuanling, Wang Chao, and Li Yu, and saluted it again, before he sat down, glanced Wei Ye up and down, and said: "The village is backed by Peach Blossom Mountain, and there are many peach trees in the four places, so it is called Peach Blossom Village." The little old man is the owner of the village, and everyone calls the little old man Mrs. Liu. I see that Mr. is extraordinary, I don't know where the immortal view is, where are you going?"

The immortal warlock listened, shook his head and said: "Old man, Wei is now settled in Dongguang Lingxu, just because he is quiet and moving, he goes out of the mountains to wander, and he does not worship the Buddha in the west to seek scriptures, nor does he cross the sea to the East to kill the dragon. ”

The old man Taigong Liu didn't understand what the Cave Light Spirit Ruins were, but when he heard the words "Wutai Mountain", he suddenly showed a reverent look and said: "The strange masters are extraordinary in appearance and magnificent, but they are originally from the living Buddha, and they are disrespectful!"

On the side, Lu Zhishen didn't care whether it was good or bad, he responded with his palms, and then drank his own drink in one go, and casually ate tea foods such as preserved peaches, dried dates, persimmons, and steamed chestnuts in front of him, and ate a whirlwind in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Lu Zhishen's eating appearance, Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "The masters have walked for a day, thinking that they are already hungry, so the little old man will invite the masters to fast." ”

After that, his family set up a spring platform and put the food on the table. Wei Ye looked at it, and saw that the bowls of vegetables and vegetables were also prepared cleanly. It's just that the dish is nothing more than vinegared cress, yellow fungus, roasted bamboo shoots with tofu skin, and jade soup boiled with broken rice with radish.

Lu Zhishen saw the table full of vegetarian soup, and he was a little unhappy. Seeing Lu Zhishen's appearance, Mrs. Liu hurriedly asked his family to clean up a plate of sauce meat, a plate of roast goose, and a large pot of wine, and sent a clever little guy to sift wine for Lu Zhishen. I saw this reckless monk come to dry the wine, grab the meat and chew it, and in a blink of an eye, the wine and meat were all eaten.

Mrs. Liu looked at Lu Zhishen's appearance, stayed for a long time, and saw that Wei Ye and Xu Xuanling had eaten fast, and Wang Chao and Li Yu were not picky about wine and meat, so they put their minds at ease.

After everyone had eaten the "Zhai" meal, Mrs. Liu gathered his family to prepare tea and fruits, walked down the steps, and saw the steward of Peach Blossom Village probing his brain outside.

Seeing his weak heart as a thief, Mrs. Liu immediately approached and shouted, "Liu Rui, why didn't you go back to the house earlier to turn off the lights and rest, what are you still snooping on here?"

That Liu Rui was also cautious, holding Liu Taigong's sleeve and letting him out of the door, looking at the lobby inside, before he said lightly: "Taigong, you used to read Buddha and fasting monks, but now you can be regarded as having an induction, and such a group of Taoist monks can finally eliminate the disaster." The five people in this line are all cultivators, the first Taoist priest, and eighty percent is a Taoist official. This official person is even more amazing, but he can get more than ten years of stable life after getting it down like this!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu shook his head and sighed in his mouth: "Although that gentleman's demeanor is a little magnificent, he doesn't look like a Taoist official. The Taoist officials have official brand charms to give, the top ones use jade brand jade square symbols, the medium ones use gold medal gold square symbols, and the inferior ones use silver medal silver square symbols. The master who came with him, and he didn't care about meat and wine, even if he came from Wutai Mountain, he might not be regarded as an elder with precepts. In this way, when the two are combined, it is four and a half cultivators, and they are only worth nine years. ”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand again and said to Liu Rui: "Why don't you hurry up and clean up the main hall and ask the masters to go over and stay." When the sun goes down, who dares to walk outside?"

When he said this, Liu Rui also shrank his head, and hurriedly said, "The villain will go", and ran away with a plague.

In the hall, Wei Ye took a cup of tea ordered with salt and ginger, took a sip slowly, and then turned his gaze and said to Lu Zhishen: "Master Lu, what do you think of this place?"

Lu Zhishen shook his head and said: "It's a good family, but he is more polite, and he is careful everywhere, as if he is afraid that the Sprinkle family will not stay!"

As he was talking, he saw Mrs. Liu walk in, and Wei Ye smiled at Mrs. Liu: "Old man, Wei has been learning the Tao for many years, and he has no ability, only a skill of distinguishing the pulse and finding the dragon, which can be regarded as a slight gain." According to Wei, the mountain behind Peach Blossom Village is fierce, the mountains and rocks overlap and the main word is a mess, there is a danger of thieves entrenched, I don't know if Guizhuang is here to make a living, but is there any difficulty?"

Hearing Wei Ye's question, the boy who served on the side said quickly: "This gentleman is so capable, don't hide it from Mr. Tell me, there were also two kings on this Peach Blossom Mountain, but they were both ...... later."

When these words came out, they provoked Mrs. Liu to drink and say: "What are the children's nonsense?

After that, Mrs. Liu smiled at Wei Ye and said: "The masters have come from afar, I'm afraid they are tired, but I don't have much room here, only there is a Buddhist hall in the village, and the place is quite spacious and clean, so I ask the masters to rest in the Buddhist hall tonight." ”

Wei Ye nodded and smiled: "In this way, we are also tired of the old people's worries, since there is a place to stay, let's lead a few of us over now." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard Wei Ye's words, she hurriedly responded happily and sent her family to lead the way. Straight out of the Liu family's house, I saw a threshing open space in the Zhuangzi, facing a newly built temple, the pillars of the temple were not even painted, but the white wood, gray masonry and stone repaired, as if it had just been completed.

Wei Ye approached, but saw that there was no mud tire dedicated to any gods and Buddhas in this temple, only a statue of the Dharma on a vertical scroll. It's just that the body of the Buddha in the painting is not draped in a robe, but wears a white crane, and the light behind it turns into a treasure wheel, which is very different from ordinary Buddhist paintings.

Looking at this Buddhist painting, Wei Ye showed a smile on his face, took Lu Zhishen's hand and said: "Master Lu, we have eaten fast, and we haven't eaten enough wine, so it's better to eat wine again in this Buddhist hall, it's more interesting than sleeping with your head covered." ”

When Lu Zhishen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's true, the taste of the wine in this village is too thin, but it is not as powerful as Mr. Wei's wine." ”

The two walked into the Buddhist hall with a smile, and Wei Ye flicked his sleeves and burned the incense candle on the altar into a smoke. He touched it from his sleeve again, and took out a large porcelain altar and two sea bowls, and Xu Xuanling was busy sieving wine for the two of them.

When the Liu family's family saw them like this, they were even more frightened in their hearts, and hurriedly closed the door of the Buddha hall, and the people had already left.

Lu Zhishen saw that the door of the Buddhist hall was closed, and couldn't help laughing: "The customs of this place are really not good, we eat our own wine, but you have to close the door!"

Wei Ye shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as closing the door, Master Lu, if you go and push it open, is the door locked from the outside?"

Hearing Wei Ye's words, Lu Zhishen really stepped forward and pushed the door, but he didn't move. He suddenly became angry, and said angrily: "This Peach Blossom Village is really not a good place, don't blame that old man doing everything possible to keep us, thinking that this place is a den of thieves!"

The immortal warlock picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, shook his head and said, "Master Lu, don't worry. Since the outside is locked, I think that Mrs. Liu still has a trace of conscience, if he is still willing to come out and say a few words, it will not be impossible to spare him in the future. ”

As he was talking, he saw that many torches suddenly lit up outside, and the whole village of Peach Blossom Village gathered in front of this Buddhist hall.

The faces were reflected in the dancing flames, but they couldn't tell what their expressions were. Mrs. Liu held a rattan cane in one hand, and the family members next to him took incense candles, paper money, fruit, and blessed meat, and put them up in front of this Buddhist hall, before kneeling down and saying: "Masters, it's not that we are bullied and killed, but it is really the kings on Peach Blossom Mountain who want us to worship human flesh and hearts, and we have to be girls and boys." Xiao Lao'er only has one daughter, and she is only nineteen years old this year, and she can't bear to be the food in the mouths of the kings. According to the laws of the kings, a person with merit and official status can win three women and children, and a wise and eloquent cultivator like the masters, one can also top two. We have won the master's party in Peach Blossom Village, but we can have at least seven or eight years of peace, and I hope that the master will be merciful and merciful, give their lives to us, and rescue us!"

Mrs. Liu knelt down here to express his feelings, and Liu Rui, the steward on the side, burned the paper money and horses in turn, and muttered: "There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south, there is no salvation in the south, and the masters have given up their lives for us, and they will definitely ascend to bliss early and become a positive result." I also hope that the masters will go with peace of mind, and we will pay tribute at four o'clock and never break our promises. The masters are not angry in their hearts, and they must know that the opponent is the king of Peach Blossom Mountain, and it has nothing to do with our Peach Blossom Village!"

He kept thinking about ghosts here, but a chuckle came from the Buddhist hall: "The customs of this place are really not bad, and if it ruins people's lives, they are willing to burn paper for food, but they are better than beasts and ghosts! You laymen don't talk about it here, it will ruin the excitement of Wei and Master Lu eating and drinking!"

Mrs. Liu trembled and wanted to confess a few words, but an iron arrow shot out of the Buddha hall and nailed it to his feet: "Don't get out of here!"

At this moment, the people of the village all over the land suddenly screamed, crawling, rolling, Mrs. Liu's body couldn't stand and collapsed to the ground, but Liu Rui picked up the old man on his back and ran away.

These people were frightened away by an arrow, Wei Ye sat next to the offering platform, took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "Master Lu has retired a lot now! ”

Lu Zhishen wiped the wine that covered his beard with his sleeve, and laughed: "How dare these village Hanzhuang guests? They all beat up, and they don't see the means of the Sprinkle family! The Sprinkler family doesn't come to beat them, but this strongman in Peach Blossom Mountain is the business of the Sprinkle family, and Mr. Wei doesn't want to fight with the Sprinkler family for this deal!"

Wei Ye smiled, flicked the edge of the bowl with his index finger, and also smiled: "If it is a strong man, let Master Lu play with it." If it's a monster, this should be Wei's fortune!"

The two glanced at each other, laughed at each other a few times, and the laughter continued, but Xu Xuanling on the side was suddenly alert: "Mountain master, there seems to be an evil aura surrounding you!"

Before the words fell, Wang Chao, the toad monk, had been hiding in the corner, but at this time, he jumped up and shouted: "Amazing, amazing, how did the walls of this Buddhist hall become softer?

Wei Ye sat next to the offering table, still holding the wine bowl, showing six white teeth to Lu Zhishen, and the sharp canine teeth couldn't hide it in his smile: "It seems that this file should be Wei Mou's fortune!"
