The next morning, in the wing of Sun Xiaoshu in Shaolin Temple, a young monk had been taking care of Sun Xiaoshu for more than an hour, and accompanied him to talk nonsense for a long time, gradually showing an impatient look.

"Well, I know, I know, there is a dragon in the mountains who can sing, alas..."

Soon, Huiyuan walked in and said to the young monk: "Zizheng, thank you for your hard work, let me do it."

"Master, you are here." Seeing the abbot enter, the monk with the magical name Zizheng quickly stood up and let him go aside, shook his head and said, "This child is talking more and more nonsense... I want me to say, Senior Brother Ziyu is really, why do you bring us a burden back? It's still a monster!"

Huiyuan looked at Zizheng and corrected it with a kind and stern manner: "Amitabha, saving lives and helping the wounded is the duty of a monk. Even if it is a monster, as long as he has not done anything bad, we cannot stand by death without saving it. What's more, Xiaoshu, a child, has helped so many people along the way. It is also a great thing for us to accumulate merit. The term "burden" should not be mentioned again in the future."

"I know Master." Zizheng said guiltily, "I'm afraid I'll be tired of you."

"Haha, you're not tired or tired. The two donors who went to Kaifeng to find herbs." As he said that, Huiyuan turned around and looked at Tianse outside the door and said, "I hope they all come back safely..."

Then, Zizheng went out of the door. After a moment, he suddenly ran back in a panic and shouted: "Master, both donors are back!"

Huiyuan wondered: "It's a good thing to come back safely, why are you so uneasy?"

Zi Zheng responded quickly, "They also brought a monster back. Although the monster is a tiger monster, it is as huge as an elephant. Brothers are afraid that it will hurt us when it comes in, so they blocked them all outside the gate and were about to ask Master, you to decide!"

"Oh? There is such a thing? Look at the little tree for me for a while, and I'll go and see it!" Wen Ru Huiyuan couldn't help but be shocked by this strange thing. After explaining it, he immediately rushed to the mountain gate.

When he arrived at the entrance of Shaolin Temple, Huiyuan saw a group of monks blocking Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing at the door. There was indeed a huge monster behind the two of them. However, the monster was surrounded by everyone, not only did not get nervous and angry because of the stimulation, but was sitting pitifully on the ground and looking at everyone innocently.

When they saw Huiyuan coming, the monks immediately made a way. Huiyuan walked up to the two of them and asked, "Two donors, what's going on?"

"Master Abbot, this is the thing..." Pu Zixuan immediately greeted him with a smile and told him everything he had encountered on Shaoxing Mountain yesterday. Of course, Chen Shuqing, who he didn't know about, was trapped.

"Serious, all right, it turns out that after I left, there were such monsters on Shaoxing Mountain that were causing trouble. Fortunately, the two donors extended a helping hand in time and did a good thing for the people..." Huiyuan glanced at the horse's belly and said in confusion, "But, the journey to Kaifeng is long. How did you bring it back?"

Chen Shuqing smiled and said, "We have been riding it on the mountain roads that are rarely visited. Even if we occasionally encounter humans, I will immediately cast spells to turn it into a horse. Don't get me wrong. I took it back without permission, not to cause trouble for the temple. It is precisely because Master Abbot can uphold justice and how to deal with it, I will definitely give a reasonable suggestion."

As soon as these words were spoken, someone among the monks immediately shouted: "Since this monster has eaten so many villagers, it is a evil monster. If it stays in Shaolin Temple, it is really a huge hidden danger. I suggest you kill it immediately!"

This suggestion was immediately widely agreed upon.

Seeing this scene, Chen Shuqing was in a heavy mood and the smile on her face was hard to hold on. It was not because she was reluctant to kill the horse's belly, but similar scenes have happened to herself many times.

Huiyuan did not respond immediately, but walked silently to the horse's belly and looked at the monster carefully.

Someone from the monk immediately advised: "Master, don't get too close to it!"

Huiyuan ignored it. Suddenly, he saw the human face on the tiger demon's forehead and realized something immediately. He asked Chen Shuqing: "Master Chen, this monster is called a horse's belly, do you know?"

Chen Shuqing said in a daze: "Yes, it's just a horse's belly, and Master Abbot knows it?"

"Haha, just now, donor Pu said that it can make baby cry and likes to eat hairy things. I guess he is a horse's belly, and it is the monster that Manqu reincarnated." After saying that, Huiyuan said to the monks, "Dear Shaolin children, I have a clear idea of ​​how to deal with horse's belly. Today, I will take it into the temple and detain it in the woodshed, and feed it another chicken to prevent it from becoming manic. Zhiqin, you can do this."

"Yes, Master!" With Huiyuan's instructions, the monk who asked Zhiqin to respond immediately. Although the other monks had their own thoughts, they couldn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Chen Shuqing was relieved and said curiously: "Do you dare to ask why Master Abbot knows the horse's belly so well?"

"I will discuss this with the two donors later. Have you brought your wives back?"

Pu Zixuan then reacted, handed the burlap bag in his hand to Huiyuan, and laughed and said, "Yes, yes, this is the most important thing, hehe."

Afterwards, under Huiyuan's arrangement, Pu Chen and his two men took the horse's belly into Shaolin Temple and locked it in the woodshed room. Zhiqin fed a chicken to the horse's belly, so that the horse's belly would continue to maintain a gentle attitude. Huiyuan combined the pineapple and other medicinal herbs and ordered the kitchen to make soup.

After everything was done, Huiyuan invited Pu Chen and Yu Xiangdi to his meditation room and closed the door.

After the three of them sat down, Huiyuan began to tell: "Why do I understand the horse's belly so well? This matter has to start with Huike, the first generation of Xiqu. I once said that Huike has lived for 4,600 years. In his life, he made two most important friends, one is Lu Shu and the other is Manqu."

Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing listened attentively without saying a word.

Huiyuan continued to say, "Hui is a rhino and a tiger is a monster. In the Battle of Zhulu about 4,600 years ago, Huangdi killed the demon emperor Chiyou. The demon world was extremely sluggish for the next few hundred years, and no new demon emperor was born for a long time. Five hundred years later, the land of China was still in a prehistoric era. At that time, Huike, who had only lived for hundreds of years, met the demon king Manqu, who was two thousand years old. Manqu told Huike that the year when Huike was born was exactly the same year when Chiyou died, must have been the reincarnation of the demon emperor, and wanted to form an alliance with him to revive the demon world together.

In this way, Huike, who was originally kind, became ambitious and did a lot of things to harm the world with Manqu. In order to express his sincerity, he also specially named himself "Qiqu". Alas, later, it was also retribution. Manqu angered the purifying envoy of the then Goddess of Xiayue, and was beheaded in a mountain by the Yingshui River. Huike lost this close friend from then on. However, a thousand years later, the body of Manqu turned into a new monster, which was the belly of this horse. He had been hiding in the deep mountains of Henan for a long time, and continued to harm the world..."

When the legend of thousands of years ago was told in this way, Pu Zixuan suddenly felt an unspeakable excitement in his heart, but at the same time he also had many doubts: "But didn't you say that Hui is a righteous demon king? Why did he do these things that hurt the heavens and the truth? Also, did he know that Manqu has been reincarnated as a new evil demon? Why didn't he go to Shaoxing Mountain to remove the horse's belly in person?"

Huiyuan sighed and said, "Huike once mentioned to me that he knew that Manqu was reincarnated as a horse's belly, and he wanted to see the horse's belly. However, for the past three thousand years, he has not produced wisdom and has lived in the mountains and wilderness for a long time, and is no different from the wild monster. Therefore, Huike has never found its whereabouts, and even once suspected that it was no longer in the world. As for Huike's later transformation from evil to good fortune, it has been a matter of the past hundred years. This matter is another book, so I won't talk about it for now."

Chen Shuqing nodded and said, "Since the horse's belly has such a connection with Huike, then, what is the abbot's belly going to deal with the horse's belly?"

Huiyuan said, "Since Huike has always wanted to see the horse's belly, and you have brought the horse's belly back to Shaolin Temple by chance, it must be that the Buddha arranged all this in the dark. So, how could I kill the horse's belly?" After saying that, Huiyuan said to Yu Xiangdi again: "Ziyu, today I will call you here to listen to your master's talk about these things, and by the way, I will explain to you the past and present life of Elder Huike. I would like to ask you to take the two donors and horse's belly to visit Elder Huike's home together."

Yu Xiangdi was shocked and said, "You should follow the master's arrangements, but I know very little about Elder Huike, and I don't even know where he is now."

Huiyuan smiled and said, "Elder Huike is now living in a thatched hut on the northern foot of Mount Song. If you try that direction, you will definitely sense a powerful demonic aura, which is where he is."

Yu Xiangdi immediately started to inquire after hearing this. After a while, he nodded and said, "Sure enough, there are two powerful demonic auras in that area."

"Haha, that's his latest friend of age-lost - Miss Duan Yanxin, don't worry. But the two donors have just returned from a distance, and they are tired of boats and cars. Let's take a day off and go tomorrow."

"Yes, Master!" This time, Yu Xiangdi agreed very simply.
