Chapter 51: Greed
"Elder, Elder, is this true? Will it really be detrimental to our future?" None of the scholars were not afraid, and their faces instantly became very ugly.
The monk folded his hands and nodded, "According to the poor monk's speculation, nine times out of ten, this world is not an ordinary world, and there are never a few demons and monsters. Once you collide, it is inevitable to offset it with your own life and luck. This is still light, once the fate and luck can't reach, the light one, being pressed by ghosts every day, nightmares repeatedly, and the heavy one ...... I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life. ”
"No, it won't be that serious. ”
Everyone panicked, and the timid one was even more frightened and grabbed the monk's hand: "Please also ask the elder to save me." ”
The monk smiled even more kindly and nodded: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, since the poor monk has met him, he will naturally not sit idly by." ”
As he spoke, he took out two spirit runes from his sleeves, a yellow paper rune and a jade rune.
"Donor, there are two kinds of spiritual talismans for exorcism and demon removal here for poor monks, the jade talisman is the most powerful, and it can ensure a lifetime without worry, and the paper talisman is much worse, it can only be guaranteed for a month without worry, I don't know if a few people want a paper talisman or a jade talisman. ”
"The jade talisman can keep you worry-free for a lifetime, so it is naturally a jade talisman. ”
One can bless a lifetime, and the other can only protect for a month, and normal people will choose more.
When the monk heard this, he said kindly: "You are really very far-sighted people, the jade talisman can ensure a worry-free life, carry it with you, and you can avoid all demons and monsters in the future, and protect your body safely." It is also a good pendant. ”
Eyes.
The more the monk talked, the more he gave Shen Shi the feeling of a salesman, and without saying a word, he immediately opened his eyes.
At first glance, the monk had a little bit of Dharma on him, but more of it was greed, bad luck, anger, and death.
And the talisman in the monk's hand is also in its original form.
Talent charms. It can accommodate ordinary talents.
I don't know if this monk has ulterior motives or is he just a salesman. ”
Shen Shi hadn't figured out how to debunk this fake monk yet, but the scholar over there nodded again and again, and couldn't wait to say: "The elder is polite, meeting the elder today is really a blessing for the late born and others, the elder is merciful and gives the magic talisman, and the late life and others are grateful." ”
As he spoke, he bowed respectfully and gave a big salute.
The monk generously accepted the salute, revealing the purpose and said: "Today's encounter is the fate, the poor monk should have given it to all the nobles, but the poor monk does not take money, but the Buddha needs to reshape the golden body." ”
"It is also necessary to mold the golden body of the Buddha, I don't know how much?" asked a scholar.
"These talismans are both talismans and fates. There is not much money, but when you meet, it is fate, so I will take you a thousand taels of silver. ”
"Ah, this, so expensive?" everyone was a little frightened by the price.
By this time, the monk's purpose had been completely exposed.
I have to say that although the monk is a foreign sect, he has always suppressed the Taoist priest, not without reason.
Merely......
"The elder pleased. Shouldn't this talisman be a Taoist priest?" Liu Yuan directly asked the question that the others wanted to ask.
Whether it is a thousand gold or a thousand taels of silver, it is indeed too expensive for their group of scholars. After all, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty only has a salary of 500 yuan a month, and because the prime minister is a person in the system, the prime minister has always been 770 Wen.
And the purchasing power of one tael of silver is higher than 1,000 wen.
"Hehe, the Buddha and the Tao are both external forces, and they have the same end. The monk smiled.
"Thank you for the reminder from the elder, I have thanked you here, but this talisman is not used in the future, so it is not good for the elder to break the bank. ”
Liu Yuan is not reluctant to give up a thousand taels of silver, it is really beyond all the money he has now.
As for Shen Shi, he won't buy it. Although he hasn't figured out how the talisman is to collect talent, but he is enlightened with his talent, and his own talent is not enough, so how can he carry a talisman to rob his talent.
"Alas, the world loves money and does not spare its life. Sure enough, it is a sea of red dust and suffering, my Buddha is merciful, and it is ......."
When the monks saw that they didn't buy it, they recited the sutra on the spot.
On a dark and non-wintery night, listening to the Buddhist scriptures, for some reason, many scholars were not calm, but afraid.
"His Buddha Voice ......"
Shen Shi opened his eyes to look, but saw that the righteous qi on Bao Zheng's body was emanating and surrounded by starlight, and he didn't see clearly what the monk's Buddha sound was, it was like ice and snow meeting fire, evaporating in an instant, and disappearing.
After reciting the Buddhist scriptures, the monk was also annoyed when he saw that there was still no one to buy them. "Hmph! I don't even want to cultivate the golden body for my Buddha, if you are a disabled person, you will ask for more blessings in the future!"
Without selling the talisman, the monk shook off his robe, turned around and left. At this time, everyone could see the direction in which he had left, and he had come out of the bazaar.
The scholars were already frightened today, and when they saw that the monks were going in the same direction as theirs, they immediately followed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you are tired today, you should find an inn and go back to rest in peace. ”
"That's right. "A scholar responded one after another. As for the shopping at the beginning, in front of his real physical strength, it was like a joke, and no one would mention it again.
"Alas, that talisman sounds very good, it can keep you safe for a lifetime, but it's too expensive. ”
When I stayed in the inn and rested with peace of mind, I couldn't help but mutter a few words about the jade talisman I missed. What you can't get, it's always good.
"Good! ”
A pair of eyes watched Shen Shi and they stayed in the inn, clasped their hands together, and turned to leave.
He turned out to be the monk Shen Shi and the others had met earlier.
The monk saw Shen Shi and the others staying in the inn of the bazaar, and turned back to the place where he lived.
Along the way, whether it was the businessmen who came and went, or the guards who patrolled, they all paid tribute to them. If anyone listens to their conversation, he knows that he is the owner of the bazaar, if not the owner.
The monk returned to his dwelling and opened a small door that led to a basement.
The monk picked up the lamp and entered the underground room, the room was simply arranged, there was only one futon, a altar, but there was incense inside, and there was a smell of incense everywhere.
Behind the incense is a statue, but that statue is not any Buddha Arhat, but an old man in green clothes. The old man held a book in one hand and a sword in the other.
Whether it is the incense on the ground or the incense on the ground, it is all gathered towards the statue, and there is a faint attraction.
The monk entered the room on the ground, took incense and lit it, put his hands together, and recited the words in his mouth: "Lord Qingqiu, the market steward prays here, and asks Lord Qingqiu to help the poor monks......"
