Chapter 8: The Evening Bell of the Temple of Red Tears
The small county town of Yushan opened the pot early in the morning, and more than a dozen Jianghu men armed with sharp knives searched for doctors everywhere in the city. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing these fierce and vicious bandits, the people who got up early and ran around for life hid far away, and even those errand officials in the county government who were usually arrogant and domineering did not dare to step forward to stop them when they encountered these evil men who knocked on doors and attacked households when they were on duty.
As a result, there was a lot of chickens and dogs jumping on the only main street in the county. Not long after, the only old man in Yushan County was trembling out of his own door, and even the owner of the Jishengtang Pharmacy, the only one in the county, could not escape, and all of them were escorted by this group of fierce men to the Wu Laoqi car shop near the city gate.
The frightened Lao Langzhong and the pharmacy owner entered the store, and they met an old Taoist who was a fairy in the Dao bones, and then a gentle word came into the ears of the two.
"There is no need to panic, the old Tao is the current master of Yehou, not a stupid person. Invite the two of you to come, there is really something that needs the help of the two of you, if there is any presumptuousness, the two good believers should not be blamed. ”
When the two of them heard these words, they hurriedly bowed to the immortal chief, although they were still a little submissive, but they were also a little settled.
The two of them secretly said in their hearts, dragging themselves to come early in the morning, it turned out that they wanted to help themselves, and it was estimated that in addition to treatment, they couldn't find themselves in other things.
Li Weixuan saw that the two of them were very polite and no longer so panicked, and he didn't delay time at the moment, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Two good believers, come with me." ”
After saying that, go to the side room on the side of the cart shop. Although the two hesitated, they did not dare not follow, and after a while, they came to a messy guest room, and immediately saw a little Taoist boy who was unconscious on the bed.
"Two, this is the descendant of one of my predecessors, because of the tragic changes in the family, and it is too young to bear it, so some have lost their minds, please treat them carefully, and there will be great thanks. ”
When the old man heard the words of the immortal chief, he even said that he should be served, so he stepped forward to check the pulse of the sleeping child. It's just that the more he examined, the more confused and strange the expression on Lao Langzhong's face became.
After a long time, the dazed old man withdrew his hand with a broken pulse, and said to Li Weixuan humbly: "Immortal Chief, this little Taoist master should have been knocked out by an external force, and his body is fine. However, there seems to be a bad aura in the body, which is very stubborn. But the strange thing is that this evil qi is not only unhindered by the body, but also strengthens the meridians in the body. Forgive me for being old and incompetent, this is unprecedented. ”
Li Weixuan nodded when he heard this, and said, "My little fellow Daoist was very crazy this morning, so my companion had to knock him out. You don't have to worry about that evil spirit, just let my little Taoist friend recover his senses and stop going crazy. ”
The old man was very puzzled when he heard this, but he didn't dare to speak directly, and he looked very cringe. Seeing this, Li Weixuan said: "Lang Zhong doesn't need to worry, if you have something to say, please speak up." ”
"Immortal Chief, please forgive the old man for being rude! This little Taoist master has lost his mind due to the tragic changes in his family, isn't this kind of symptom exactly what the immortal elders are good at can be cured by the technique of calming the spirit and calming the nerves? If it is only diagnosed and treated by medical treatment, I am afraid that it is not as good as it, and good medicine cannot relieve the heart disease. ”
Li Weixuan groaned for a while when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Lao Langzhong said. It's just that his concentration technique has no effect on Xiao Yun at all, and he really doesn't want to expose his own shortcomings.
After thinking for a moment, Lao Dao said: "Then please ask Lang Zhong to prescribe a few pairs of soothing medicinal soup, and first save my little Taoist friend and stop going crazy." ”
Lao Langzhong heard the immortal chief's orders, and hurriedly took out the silver needle to perform a spell on Xiao Yun, and the right to wake him up first.
At this time, the fat boss of the pharmacy who came with him heard the answer between the two, and seemed to remember something, so he bowed deeply to Li Weixuan and said some suggestions.
"Immortal Chief, since this little Taoist master has lost his mind due to the tragic changes in his family, then his heart disease still needs to be cured. Why don't the immortal chief find a temple and ask the senior monks to relieve this little Taoist. ”
Li Weixuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, yes! Aren't those bald people the best at demagoguery, why did they forget this stubble, this is really a way.
Lao Dao, who felt that this method might be really useful, immediately asked with a little joy: "I don't know if there is a temple in this Yu Mountain, and please tell me about it." ”
"Immortal Chief, we do have a thousand-year-old temple in Yushan, and it is also famous in our Hunzhou. This temple was originally the dojo of the Bodhisattva of Guanzi, and the most important thing is to relieve suffering. If this little Taoist master can be recited by Master Xinde in the Red Tears Temple, he will definitely be able to get rid of the obstacle and repeat himself. ”
Li Weixuan was also secretly happy when he heard this, and immediately asked the owner of the pharmacy about the way to the Red Tears Temple, and after the old man rescued Xiao Yun and was alone in the bed, he generously gave ten taels of silver and sent the two away. Immediately summoned Du Ba, and the two began to discuss.
"President Du, let your subordinates get ready, and we'll go to the Red Tears Temple in Yushan in a while. ”
"Immortal Master, you don't have a way, is it useful to find those bald people?"
"Oh no, you can't send Xiao Yun to Kite Ming Valley like this, let's try!"
"Also, if the Ancestor sees that his precious disciple has become a fool, I'm afraid that our lives will not be guaranteed! We are really unlucky to be on such an errand...... I'm going to get the brothers ready. ”
After the Iron Wolf Club was busy for a while, the gorgeous four-horse chariot set foot on the road again, and came to Mangyu Mountain after leaving the east gate of the county. At this time, Xiao Yun was sitting in the carriage, as if he had become a living dead like a mud tire and wood sculpture.
Li Weixuan paid attention to Xiao Yun's state from time to time, and he couldn't help but be annoyed and anxious in his heart, and Boss Du didn't stop urging his subordinates. The speeding convoy ran non-stop, all the way, kicking up countless dusts.
It's just that after leaving the post road and turning into the mountain road, I can't get up soon. It wasn't until near dusk that the convoy saw a large temple in the distance.
At dusk at the end of summer, the bloody sun, which looked like it hung on the top of the spiritual pagoda in the temple, bathed the entire temple in the red glow. A burst of clear chanting accompanied by the sound of the evening bell came, so that the people in the convoy who had been running rapidly for a day felt relieved, and it seemed that the tiredness had melted away a little.
Just when everyone was secretly praising this pure place outside the party, there was a loud sound in the Xuan car, and the little immortal master finally took action again this day.
At this time, Li Weixuan, who was already riding on a horse, away from Xiao Yun and not letting himself be irritable, hurriedly turned his head to look. Seeing that Xiao Yun no longer seemed to be sluggish, he got out of the carriage, and followed the sound of Qingyue's evening bell to run towards the Red Tears Temple in the distance.
Seeing that Xiao Yun seemed to have been awakened a little by this night bell, Li and Du couldn't help but be secretly happy in their hearts, it seemed that they had really come to the right place, and the road of this day was not in vain. immediately caught up with Xiao Yun, who was moving forward.
"Yun Gongzi, can you hear the old words?"
Xiao Yunda, who was silent, opened his purple and red bloody eyes, staring at the mountain gate of the Red Tears Temple in front of him and frowning, but finally nodded and replied to Li Weixuan.
"Little Immortal Master, you're all right! It's really killing Lao Du! This is great! I'll just say, Little Immortal Master is so smart, he will be a fool. Phew.Phew... It's a mess of the mind. ”
Seeing that Xiao Yun was no longer crazy and could still answer his questions accurately, Li Weixuan, who had been pressing on his heart like a boulder, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he saw Xiao Yun staring at the empty mountain gate of the Red Tears Temple very intently, he was also a little surprised.
"Yun Gongzi, what's wrong with you?
"I felt that there was a smell similar to that of a blood pig in this mountain gate, but I couldn't find it. After a long time, Xiao Yuncai said hoarsely.
"Oh!?, why can't we feel it?" Li Weixuan, Du Ba and the others observed very carefully when they heard this, but they found nothing.
So everyone was puzzled for a while, and Du Ba walked to Li Weixuan's side at this time and whispered: "Immortal Master, have you noticed it? I look at this temple very comfortably, I don't feel anything wrong."
Li Weixuan also shook his head when he heard this, saying that he didn't find anything abnormal.
Seeing this, Du Ba said again: "Immortal Master, it can't be that the little Immortal Master is not completely okay, could it be that he is confused again? You also know that there is something wrong with him here." As he spoke, he pointed to his head.
Li Weixuan nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Since you have already come, let's go and have a look." President Du, tell your men to be careful. ”
Du Ba immediately whispered to everyone in the Iron Wolf Guild to explain one by one, but although everyone agreed, they were quite unimpressed, and they all felt that if they were frightened by a crazy child's nonsense, it would be ridiculous.
So everyone who stopped walked towards the mountain gate again, but Xiao Yun, who was surrounded by everyone, was extremely focused, and watched inside the wide open mountain gate.
After a while, everyone came to the gate of the mountain that was wide open. I saw a red-clothed monk who suddenly appeared in the mountain gate without knowing when he arrived.
"Everyone, the poor monk Xinhong is polite! I don't know why I came to the temple?"
"Monk, we are here to find the old bald man of Xinde, hurry up and lead the way!" Du Ba glared at the inverted triangular eyes, showing his usual majesty of "heroes in the rivers and lakes".
"Don't be rude!" Li Weixuan immediately shouted, he was not an uninformed gangster, the Buddha power that escaped from the Xinhong monk just now was not trivial, and he knew the difficulty of Buddhist monks.
"Master Xinhong is invited, the old Taoist is Li Weixuan, the elder of the Li family outside Qingling Fort, because he has something important to ask to see Master Xinde, please make it convenient. Just now, the companion of the old Tao should have no eyes and do not know the true Buddha, and ask the master to see that he is just a mortal, don't be surprised. ”
The red-clothed monk smiled when he heard this, and then his face was solemn and the treasure statue was solemn. Monk Xinhong didn't speak, but stared at Xiao Yun among the crowd for a long time. seems to be very interested in this little Taoist boy with a pair of purple and red eyes, and the white and beardless fat face gradually showed a smile that he didn't know why.
At this time, Du Bazheng, who got the prompt of the immortal master, was afraid in his heart, why did he always encounter strange things when he came out this time, every bald man who came out of this barren mountain and wild mountain was a true Buddha, why was he so unlucky?
At that moment, he hurriedly apologized to the red-clothed monk: "That... I'm a rough man, I can't speak. Don't blame me for being a stupid big man, I'll have a rotten mouth and no heart. ”
It seems that Du Ba's vulgar words really amused the red-clothed monk, and he said very gently at the moment: "You are here to find the abbot's senior brother, and follow the poor monk to the side hall to serve tea, and allow the poor monk to go to pass it on, please ......."
Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard this, and immediately thanked Xinhong and followed him into the temple. Just a few steps, you will see four golden characters on the wall 'Zhen Alan Ruo', and look around to see the green pine and ancient cypress standing beside the road. Soon after, I saw the goldfish koi swimming in the release pond. Everyone secretly praised it, and it was a good Buddhist family.
Listening to the sound of Qingyue's evening bell chanting, walking in this place outside the world, everyone seemed to have returned to their hometown, and unconsciously relaxed, and a lazy feeling immediately hit. Only Xiao Yun became more and more nervous, staring around with a pair of purple-red bloody eyes, at this moment the blood tide in his body seemed to sense something, and it was violently turbulent.
Soon, everyone was introduced by the monk Xinhong into the side hall to serve tea, but he said that he went to pass the abbot, and after some politeness, he left. Everyone rushed for a day, and they were indeed hungry and thirsty, and then the men of the rivers and lakes ate refreshments, ate and drank nonsense, and only Xiao Yun, who was nervous, did not move at all.
Time flies, and before I know it, the ninety-nine evening bells have been struck, and at this time, Li Weixuan, who can't see anyone on the left and the abbot on the right, also noticed the strangeness, he seems to have fallen into a trap, and he can't even go to the door of the side hall.
Li Weixuan, who realized that something was wrong, immediately shouted: "It's not good! It's strange here, everyone should be on alert!"
Before the words fell, I heard a burst of laughter from outside the side hall, and the Jianghu men of the Iron Wolf Society had just stood up, and they fell to the ground one after another, not knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Li Weixuan, who was in a state of revency, was immediately shocked into a cold sweat, and was about to cast a spell to forcibly break the ban at the temple gate, but as soon as he used the spiritual power in his body, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground.
At this time, there was only one figure left standing in the entire side hall, it was Xiao Yun's ...... whose eyes were purple and red.
