Chapter 36: The Ghost Scolder
"I want to sweep away the evil in the world. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info is only single-handed, and it is difficult to achieve. ”
Liu Mi laid out this plan and the inventory.
After hearing this, the old man clapped his hands and said, "It should be so!" So he left his family business and got up to follow Liu Mi.
The old man also gave himself a stage name, Zhu Bajie.
......
"Two wild boar Taoists, it's enough, all that's left is to recruit the White Dragon Prince, Sun Wukong, and Golden Cicada. ”
Liu Mi and the two old men, both carrying farm tools, wandered around, searching for suitable scholars to join the team.
I also met a few scholars along the way, but no matter whether they were rich or poor, they heard that the old farmer, Taoist priest, and Toutuo wanted to help Sheji, so they immediately shook their heads and left.
On this day, Liu Mi met a scholar who lived in the mountains.
The scholar's name is Shen Tiancong, he has been studying in the city since he was a child, and he is well-informed and does not believe in ghosts and gods. Whenever you come across a temple, you must go in and destroy the statues of the gods, overturn the offering tables, and rebuke those who kneel down to worship the gods and Buddhas.
Seeing Liu Mi, Zhu Yijie, and Zhu Bajie, the scholar Shen Tiancong waved his hand angrily, turned around and went towards the mountain, "Monk? Someone has built a temple in this mountain, and I will destroy it! I have destroyed your Buddha, you monk might as well come and worship me!"
Liu Mi didn't care and watched him leave.
Shen Tiancong came to the mountain, and suddenly there was a storm outside, so he hurriedly ran to the temple.
After a while, there was a strange noise outside!
Shen Tiancong was shocked, looked out through the crack in the door of the broken temple, and saw two seven-foot yakshas, carrying headless sheep, walking towards the temple.
Shen Tiancong was frightened, looked left and right, and found that there was a hole behind the Buddha statue, so he hurriedly got into it and hid.
The two yaksha came in, and sure enough, they didn't find Shen Tiancong.
Shen Tiancong breathed a sigh of relief, but the Buddha statue suddenly moved, walked down the shrine, and said: "Creation, creation, you don't have to go out to transform your fate today!"
As he spoke, he strode out of the temple and walked to a gloomy waterhole, where he stood under a large tree.
Shen Tiancong was frightened at first, but finally mustered up the courage to push the Buddha statue's clothes away and escape through the hole.
The Buddha statue reached out to catch it, Shen Tiancong and the Buddha statue swirled, and after a while, it rained heavily, and the Buddha statue became a puddle of mud.
Shen Tiancong was about to run away, when suddenly a group of ghosts jumped out and surrounded him, "I heard that you are not afraid of ghosts and gods, and you don't believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, right!"
These ghosts grabbed Shen Tiancong, and then began to discuss how to clean up Shen Tiancong.
A hawk-nosed ghost said, "Human beings can make choices, and unlike all things, let's let him choose for himself." ”
"Shen Tiancong, you don't respect ghosts and gods, you will be punished. Do you want to be thrown into a pan of oil, or do you want to be kneaded into a thick bowl?"
Shen Tiancong thought about it, went to the oil pan and fried it and died, and he could still live if he was kneaded into a thick bowl.
"Kneaded into a thick bowl!" Shen Tiancong could only choose the second one.
"Well, it's your choice. ”
The ghost started and kneaded Shen Tiancong into a thick bowl, Shen Tiancong was more than six feet, and was forcibly kneaded into two feet, and his bones were crushed, which was extremely painful.
The ghost asked again, "Do you want to go down the knife mountain, or do you want to be photographed a foot long?"
Shen Tiancong was photographed into a wooden pier again.
The ghost tore his face and ears again, took off his donkey ears, pig's nose, eagle hook beak, cow hooves, and dog tail, and replaced them with Shen Tiancong.
Tossed until dawn, the ghost left, leaving Shen Tiancong alone.
Shen Tiancong was ashamed and angry, and returned home with severe pain, leaving only one breath.
His wife was so frightened that she rushed to the doctor and went to the witch, who refused to treat her.
I had no choice but to go to the old farmer, the fire worker, and the fire foreman who were squatting in the land temple at the entrance of the village.
Seeing what happened to Shen Tiancong, Liu Mi was furious, "These ghosts are too rampant!"
"Shen Tiancong, you have two choices, first, go to your friends and teachers and ask them to use Haoran Righteousness to save you, or ask a doctor. ”
Shen Tiancong opened his eyes, shook his head with a wry smile: "The people in the city are unscrupulous and misunderstand me! I'm just a country fool*. ”
Liu Mi was excited in his heart, and felt that the time for his power had come, "I have a saying, called 'theory and practice, pragmatic and truth-seeking, diligent and innovative', I am not absolutely sure to save you." And in case I save you, you must join my team and become a member of the united front of evil spirits. ”
Shen Tiancong endured the pain and shouted: "I believe in the way of Confucius and Mencius, and Confucius and Mencius deceive me! If you are better than Confucius and Mencius, what if you worship you as a god!"
"You don't have to worship me as a god, just follow me, eliminate some evil, and create a pragmatic and truth-seeking new world!" Liu Mi clapped his hands and said, "Meng Ke is a cheap embryo, but Kong Qiu is not bad. If you follow me and completely kill Confucianism, I will send you to rebuild Confucianism!"
"Okay! It's to destroy this old world full of liars!" Shen Tiancong endured the pain and shouted.
Liu Mi took out "Zhou Yi" and was about to read the scriptures and pray, but Shen Tiancong's wife worshiped Liu Mi.
Liu Mi came out and stood in the courtyard, "What do you have to say to me?"
Shen's wife said: "Master Immortal, it is not easy for our peasant family, it took all the money of the two families to provide officials to read Xiucai, and now that they are exempt from taxes, the family has a surplus." If you take him to the monastic ...... I'm not saying that cultivation is bad, cultivation is good, but Xiucai has to go around it and rally tightly around the teacher. Month by month, year by year, if there is a lack of assessment, you will be robbed of the name of the show. ”
When the time comes, what should the two of us do?
Liu Mi sighed, only to realize that even if he had immortal means, he was helpless in reality, "Mrs. Shen, I don't know what your plans are?"
"The teacher's teacher was a great Confucian, named Zhang Hengqu, who once famously said, 'Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations'. Speaking of Shen Tiancong's teacher, Shen Niangzi's eyes shone with piety.
"Master Zhang will definitely not sit idly by. Shen Niangzi said with an oath.
"This Lord Zhang, Zhang Hengqu, apart from this sentence, do you have any other deeds, what knowledge has he done, what livelihood has he invented?
Shen Niangzi bowed her head and was silent, expressing her insistence in silence.
It seems that in your eyes, your husband's life or death is not important, Liu Mi smiled playfully.
Shen Niangzi was embarrassed and wept, and said: "If necessary, I will also fight for a memorial arch to reduce the tax burden on the family." ”
Liu Mi had nothing to say, so he helped make the stretcher, beckoned Zhu Yijie, and carried Shen Tiancong to the city.
Halfway through, Shen Tiancong woke up in pain and asked, "Master, why is it not good?"
"Your wife refuses to give up the treatment, and wants to take you to the city to find a way to find your teacher. ”
Shen Tiancong shook his head, reached out to touch his pig's nose and donkey ears, shook his head and wept: "They won't care, and they won't even let me enter the city." ”
"Tiancong, don't talk nonsense, Lord Zhang is not like this, didn't you say that the heroic righteousness in Lord Zhang can suppress all evil? ”
