More than ten days later, on the first day of the first month, the believers of the Maitreya Society in the eight counties of Pingyuan County gathered at the Maitreya Temple from all directions.

On the day of the temple fair, the weather is cloudy and gloomy, but can not stop the believers from devout to the Buddha's heart, early in the morning outside the temple not far from the official road, the flow of people gradually increased, horse-drawn carriages, ox carts, donkey rides, walking, more and more.

Many small merchants and vendors rushed to the Maitreya Temple, wanting to make a fortune, selling sugar gourds, fried food, and groceries, and the heads of people were shaking on the flat ground in front of the temple, and the voices of people were noisy.

The three carriages in front and behind slowly galloped close to the Maitreya Temple.

A group of men dressed as men jumped out of the two carriages, opened the door for the middle carriage, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage, picked up a middle-aged woman with a beautiful face from the carriage, and walked towards the temple together.

"Zhou Yuanwai, are you here?" the sugar gourd vendor in front of the temple smiled and offered courtesy to the middle-aged man.

"Hmm. ”

Zhou Yuanwai made a straight face, answered in a low voice, passed through the temple gate, and walked towards the big Buddha hall of Maitreya Temple.

"Little Liuzi, it's not good to sell your sugar gourd, and I want to slap Zhou Yuanwai, but I slapped the horse's leg. The grocery vendor laughed at Xiao Liuzi while selling his goods.

"Old pockhead, it's your business, sell your straw sandals. Xiao Liuzi looked at Zhou Yuanwai's back and muttered in a low voice: "Zhou Yuanwai is usually not like this, most of them make children's affairs worry." ”

The courtyard outside the Big Buddha Hall is clean and clean, the incense burner is full of incense, and many people are waiting in line in the courtyard, waiting for the Big Buddha Hall to open.

Dozens of people outside Zhou Yuanwai went straight to the Big Buddha Hall.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, my family has a hard time, and if there is none, let go. A man in black shouted loudly, holding a yellow talisman in his hand.

"Borrow light, borrow light, folks borrow light. Zhou Yuanwai lowered his head, walked through the crowd, and stood still in front of the Big Buddha Hall.

The monks in the Maitreya Temple, at the end of each month, select three believers and issue the martyrdom as the selected martyr certificate on the day of the Maitreya Buddha's manifestation.

On the three poles of the sun, the door of the big Buddha hall suddenly opened, two teams of monks with the mask of Maitreya Buddha, from the big Buddha hall fish out, stand on both sides of the door of the Buddha hall, the Buddha hall in the Sanskrit singing bursts, a group of sacred solemnity.

In front of the Buddha hall, the three people who held the difficult to cross the difficult look at each other, a young man helped an old woman into the big Buddha hall, about half a pillar of incense, the two came out with a smile, in the envious eyes of everyone, out of the temple.

"Outside Zhou, please first, don't be in a hurry about the next matter, you can't let your sister-in-law stand for so long. A gray-robed man held a prayer in his hand and whispered courtesy to Zhou Yuanwai.

Zhou Yuanwai nodded, and entered the Buddha Hall with the middle-aged woman, and the four young men with pale faces as paper lowered their heads and bent their waists in the back, followed up with the Big Buddha Hall.

In the Buddhist hall, sandalwood wafts, and monks chant Sanskrit chanting.

A tall and fat monk stood in the middle of the Buddha hall, with a mask on his face, twisting the Buddha beads in his left hand, and beating the wooden fish with his right hand.

A slender monk wearing a worn mask guided the couple to offer incense in front of the Buddha statue, and then led them to kneel on the mat.

"Xiaomin Zhou Daxiang, over forty years old and childless, ashamed of the ancestors, begged Maitreya Buddha to manifest his spirit, and descended to my descendants of the Zhou family. Zhou Yuanwai and his wife bowed respectfully.

After half a cup of tea, a dry and empty voice came from the belly of Maitreya Buddha: "There will be a son within a year!"

"Maitreya Buddha, I have something to say. A young man stepped forward, his face pale as a ghost who had just crawled out of the grave, and he tilted his neck and asked, "What if no child is born in a year outside my family?"

"Bold, dare to offend the Buddha!", the tall monk who knocked on the wooden fish shouted, and the fat on his body trembled with the shouting.

"Karma burns the soul, certain!"

The pale face of the young man suddenly smiled evilly, and cast a spell with a trick, a huge golden bowl "bang" condensed in the sky above the Buddha hall, the bottom of the bowl turned over, and a beam of brilliant golden light covered the golden statue of Maitreya, and under the light beam, the golden statue of Maitreya was all exquisite.

A group of black-clothed men rushed into the Buddhist hall, knocking the monks who were chanting scriptures at the door into each other, and a snow-sharp horse chopping knife was placed on the monks' necks.

"Outside the Zhou Yuan, take care of the servants in your house, if you provoke the Maitreya Buddha to anger, you will be punished by heaven!" The monk who knocked on the wooden fish broke off again, and then shouted for help: "Someone offends the Buddha, and the Maitreya envoy will not enter the big Buddha hall to protect the Buddha and chase away the demons." ”

The monks in the big Buddha hall and the believers in the courtyard outside the Buddha hall let out a shout, and rushed towards the black-clothed family members together, each of them was not afraid of life and death, and the momentum was exactly as vast as the Pingyuan County blocking the Taihua sect's dojo.

"Kill!", the young man who sacrificed the Kowloon Burning Cover looked surprised and disdainful, and a word popped out of his lips.

In an instant, the sword light flew and blood splashed everywhere.

"Poof, poof," In the terrifying sound of a quick knife chopping meat, seven or eight heads fell on the ground in an instant, rolling around on the ground like a gourd, bloody and cruel.

"Murder, murder!"

"Daddy, are you really dead?" A woman wearing a Maitreya Buddha mask cried loudly, her fingers grabbed a corpse and kept shaking, a horse chopping knife ruthlessly slashed, "click", and the crying woman instantly turned into a soul under the knife.

A bloody human head was rolling on the ground, and the Maitreya envoys were all native villagers of Pingyuan County, and for the first time in their lives, they saw the grand occasion of a human head landing instantly, and immediately revealed the true nature of fear of death, and everyone abandoned Maitreya Buddha and squeezed out of the compound together like a headless fly.

"Kill them all. The pale-faced young man chased out of the Buddhist hall, as if the impermanence of the underworld, and once again gave a cold order.

Outside the compound, a man in black suddenly appeared, blocking the entrance of the courtyard of the big Buddha hall, chopping the horse swords undulating with each other, the cold blades flickered, the courtyard was full of screams and begging for mercy, only the golden statue of Maitreya Buddha still smiled, as if he had already seen through everything.

The blood flowers jumped, and after half a cup of tea, the Maitreya Buddha messengers in the compound fell to death one by one.

"I am the prince of the Great Wilderness League!" The pale-faced young man reported to his home, looked at the trembling monks in the big Buddha hall, and asked in a loud voice: "You monks have seen my sincerity in killing people, if you don't point out out who Maitreya Buddha is, my son will send you all to the west sky." ”

All the monks trembled, and no one came forward to identify Maitreya Buddha, and no one came forward to recognize Maitreya Buddha.

"This son guesses that Maitreya Buddha must be pretending to be a ghost here, who is willing to bet against me. Hou Gongzi patted the big belly of Maitreya Buddha, turned around and asked the people in the Buddha hall, with a confident face.

"Bet with you below, if there is no one in the belly of Maitreya Buddha, you will let go of the people in the next clan. Zhou Yuanwai saw that Hou Gongzi was ruthless in killing, and seeing that the people in the temple were afraid that it would be difficult to stay alive, he gritted his teeth and stood up to bet with Hou Gongzi.

"Zhou Yuanwai has courage and knowledge, this son has gambled with you. Hou Gongzi smiled and shouted: "The karmic fire is surging, burning all the evil in the world, burning!"
