Chapter 1: The Dungeon Sutra
Whew!
Liu Changqing gasped for breath, sat up from the bed suddenly, his face was full of shock, sweat flowed down his cheeks, and the scene appeared again in his dream: under a cluster of mountain vines, a baby was picked up by a couple, the woman looked at the baby distressedly, turned her head and said to her husband: "Master, what a lovely child you see, who can bear to abandon it so much?" It is also God who has eyes, so that we can meet and inherit the incense of the Liu family. Sir, do you want to give him a name?"
The old man stroked the long hair under his chin, and was still satisfied with the boy, and looked around, the mountain vines were lush and the scenery was beautiful, and he said: "The child was found under this evergreen vine, so he named it Changqing." ”
"Evergreen, that's a good name!"
"Hahaha, okay! The Liu family has a queen!"
The couple walked away with the baby in their arms, but the baby turned into a little old man, his skin was wrinkled, his eyes were dull, and his face was a lot of ruddy, but gray, and he looked like he was dying.
Liu Changqing had never had such a dream before, since he caught the first bandit, he felt very tired, and he started having the same dream when he fell asleep!
Liu Changqing, nicknamed "Liu Laofeng", is an ordinary alternate catcher in Dongning County, the capital of Muzhou Prefecture of the Great Chu State, and is considered the lowest figure in Dongning County.
"Old, go feed the horses!"
"What are you doing, old wilt, wipe my boots clean!"
"Lao Fu, go fetch a bucket of water, my brother is thirsty!"
"Old Wilt"
These are all things that Liu Changqing needs to do, doing the hardest and most tiring work at the bottom, among all the fast catches, Liu Changqing is the one with the least status. Liu Changqing is like a donkey, instructed to do this and that, and he is tired like a dead dog at the end of the day!
But suddenly one day, things changed
It all started a dozen days ago.
On that day, Zhao Zhutou organized the county's arrest to go to Songshi Mountain to arrest a bandit. According to the usual, they are just making a show of catching fast and catching heads, and they will come back after going up the mountain for a circle, but this time the three members of the three families together gave out 500 taels of silver to ask for the head of this bandit! Because this thief patronized the homes of three foreign masters, not only stole the property, but also insulted a concubine outside the staff!
This five hundred taels is not a small amount, in addition to the two hundred taels of filial piety to the county lord, each catch can also catch up with six or seven taels, catch up with three or four months, and the person who catches or blades the bandit with his own hands will also be rewarded with an additional fifty taels, so Zhao Zhutou and others all used their strength to find the bandit like a treasure hunt all over the mountain.
Of course, Liu Changqing was no exception and wanted to get that reward, but unfortunately he had a bad stomach that day, and he couldn't hold it back halfway through, so he found a secluded place, and happily went out of Gong, just put on his pants, the stone under his feet was loosened, and the person fell from a high place.
Although this turquoise mountain is called a mountain, it is not high, only more than 20 zhang high, but there are many stones, some are big and some are small, the big ones are like houses, and the small ones are like eggs. The place where Liu Changqing fell was a small cliff six or seven zhang high, although six or seven zhang was not high, but Liu Changqing turned over in the air, and fell to the ground with a bang, falling dizzy, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and it took him half a day to get up, and he didn't even know where to drop a shoe.
Liu Changqing scolded and got up, limped to find a wooden stick, and climbed up on a crutche, trying to find a way out, he was already injured, don't count on the bounty, but you have to go to the arrest scene in person, mix up the participation award, there are no six or seven taels, two or three taels are not bad, otherwise I will lose a lot of money this time.
Liu Changqing limped forward for a few miles, and then heard the roar and bite of the beast, which was mixed with the sound of people shouting and scolding, so frightened that he felt that he was hiding behind a big rock, and did not dare to show his head.
Could it be that a colleague has encountered a beast? Liu Changqing touched his waist knife, if so, do he need to step forward to help? With a mood of going up and down, Liu Changqing slowly moved forward, stuck his head out from behind the stone, and looked forward. More than a dozen feet in front of him, there was a man who was fighting with a tiger, his body was scarred, and the tiger was also bloody, the two seemed to have been fighting for a long time, and they were a little out of breath.
Roar!
The tiger took a few steps back, screamed, and lunged at the man. The man held the knife in his right hand, and his left hand drew a strange gesture in the air, imprinted towards the tiger, the tiger's body stiffened, and fell straight from the air, the steel knife in the man's right hand was erected, and the tiger seemed to hit the tip of the knife by himself, and stabbed into his throat with a poof, and a stream of blood gushed out, just spraying the man's head and face, and the appearance was very hideous and terrifying! The tiger died with a whimper!
"Ahh
Liu Changqing was startled, and couldn't help but exclaim, the man didn't expect that there was someone around him, a pair of blood-red eyes looked over, and his feet exerted force, running towards Liu Changqing.
He's going to kill me! Liu Changqing was so frightened that he threw away the wooden stick and ran desperately towards the way he came, forgetting the pain under his feet.
"Heaven and earth cage, draw the ground as a prison, seal!" The man saw that Liu Changqing had fled quickly, and hurriedly waved out the mark just now, who knew that Liu Changqing was still walking like flying. The man was stunned, even the tiger was frozen just now, how could this person be fine?
"Heaven and earth are imprisoned, painted as a prison, sealed!"
Still doesn't work!
The man was furious: I don't believe it, how can the immortal art, which has always been very useful, not work, "Heaven and earth are imprisoned, draw the earth as a prison, seal!" "Seal!"
The man shouted a dozen times, not realizing that his hair had turned from black to gray, and had lost its luster.
"Oops!" Liu Changqing fell off the cliff after all and was injured, his legs and feet were not very neat, he stumbled and fell into the pile of rocks, and the man jumped in front of him, smiling and raising the steel knife in his hand, his face was covered with blood, as if he was a demon.
The cold light flashed, and it instantly slashed to the top of Liu Changqing's head, and he felt the cold breath emitted by the steel knife!
Liu Changqing's frightened soul flew away, his whole body trembled, and he even forgot to pull out his waist knife to meet the enemy.
Who knew that the man's body stiffened, his eyes were dull and focusless, he kept the posture of raising the knife and stood at the scene, his hair turned gray, falling with the wind, his skin slackened, and the tip of the knife was less than two inches away from Liu Changqing's head, and then fell towards Liu Changqing like a stake.
Liu Changqing was startled, and even rolled to the side, not daring to move, until a long time later, seeing that the man was really silent, he cautiously got up from the ground and looked at the man, and immediately his eyes widened. I saw that there was a scratch of a tiger's claw on the man's chest, revealing the bones, and what surprised Liu Changqing the most was that the man's skin was wrinkled, as if he was seventy or eighty, his eyes were sunken, and his hair was gray.
What is going on? Who is this man? Judging by his appearance, he is not from this county, but from another county? Why did he kill himself? Was it because he saw him kill a tiger? But this will not make him kill people!
Liu Changqing endured the pain, squatted down and touched the man's corpse in his arms, but he was greatly disappointed, the man had nothing in his arms, only a book, not even a tael of silver!
"It's really unlucky, it turned out to be a poor ghost! Scared Lao Tzu's three souls and seven spirits flew away, one soul and one soul!" Liu Changqing scolded, stood up, picked up the book and glanced at it. The book is bound in an unknown material, heavy to the touch, and the three words "Dungeon Sutra" are written on the cover.
What kind of book is this? The scriptures Liu Changqing knows that the monks in the Dayan Temple fifteen miles outside the county town recite it every day, what kind of "Amitabha Buddha" or something, could it be that this "Dungeon Sutra" is also like that, every day like a fly, buzzing and constantly reading, it's annoying to think about it. Liu Changqing opened it and looked at it, but there were pictures of things inside, dozens of them were all drawing a strange gesture, and there were a total of eight words: "Heaven and earth are imprisoned, and the earth is a prison"! And this gesture is almost the same as what the man waved just now.
What kind of thing is this? Liu Changqing couldn't understand it for a while, so he didn't throw it away, put it in his arms, and then had time to study it carefully later.
Although the man died, but the tiger was still there, Liu Changqing thought about it, limped to the tiger corpse, carried the two-hundred-pound tiger on his shoulder, and found a way. Don't look at his sparse kung fu, he is timid, but his strength is very great.
When Liu Changqing limped and climbed to Songshi Mountain with the tiger on his shoulder, the crowd had already closed the team, saying that the robbers had already left overnight, and they had done a case in Linxian County, and everyone was busy for a day. However, after they saw the tiger on Liu Changqing's shoulder, they were first taken aback, and then smiled, a tiger was full of treasures, so they naturally stepped forward and snatched it away, and went down the mountain happily, and the depression immediately dissipated. Because of the merit of killing the tiger and the injury, Liu Changqing was taken a day off by Zhao Zhutou and did not have to go to the order.
However, Liu Changqing was not idle at home, and took out the copy of "Dungeon Sutra" and looked at it. He always felt that this book was not simple, and he must study it carefully.
Liu Changqing's parents died early, and he is now 20 years old, although he has reached the age of starting a family, no one is willing to marry his daughter to him, the reason is very simple, that is, his family is poor, a grass house still leaks rain, it rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly inside.
Liu Changqing ate alone and the whole family was not hungry, he simply ate something early in the morning, and began to lie on the table and study the "Dungeon Sutra".
