Chapter 687 .
When the tourists from the village saw that these young hunters had gone far, they all came over, shouting "Sir" and "Living Buddha" constantly. Some of them were ungrateful and wanted to carry the load for Li Yu and help Lu Zhishen take the Zen stick.
Li Yu just waved his hand and said, "My burden is not ordinary, and you don't have any knowledge of it, so you can't carry this burden." The shopkeepers were determined to sell it well and said with a smile: "Sir, this is a bad thing. We have to carry water and manure on weekdays. We measure the burden of the teacher, but only put some clothes and scriptures, how can we not carry it?"
Lu Zhishen saw these shopkeepers not knowing the depth, and laughed: "You try my Zen stick. If you can't move it, you can't move the burden."
Some people who don’t believe in evil came to carry the Zen stick for Lu Zhishen. The 72-pound Xuan Iron stick almost couldn’t bear it as soon as it fell from her shoulders. She immediately shouted: “Master is really from Manjushri Bodhisattva in Mount Wutai. Such great power is a living arhat descending to earth!”
Lu Zhishen patted his stomach and pointed at Wei Ye in front of him and said, "Sha family is not an arhat, but that gentleman is a true god. How can you flatter the Sa family?"
These shopkeepers just smiled and said, "Master, that gentleman is young, and he has a short beard but never mature, and he speaks so harshly. He is such a real immortal, so we vow to eat the vegetarian food and the Taoist priests, and not to meet such an immortal master."
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he just carried the Zen stick, laughed all the way, and chased Wei Ye all the way up.
The manager in front led Wei Ye to a large mansion in the manor. An old man was already wearing a Dongpo towel, a robe with a robe and a rattan cane in his hand, and was looking at the door.
The old man was happy when he saw the manager leading a Taoist in a bamboo crown and brocade dress. He hurriedly stepped forward and bowed: "Xiaozhuang is meeting the gentleman today. It's a great event. Please come inside. The old man will serve tea and prepare a vegetarian food."
Wei Ye glanced up and down at the old man, bowed his hand, and said "I'm working hard", and followed the old man to the hall honestly and unceremoniously. Lu Zhishen and Xu Xuanling and their group were also brought into the house by the manager of the village, and everyone was divided into the host and the guest.
When the old man saw these three Taoist priests, the two monks came to the door, they were overjoyed. On one hand, they asked the maid and boy to serve fruits and tea, and on the other hand, they held a cup of fragrant crust drinks and said to Wei Ye first: "The weather is hot, please use some drinks to relieve the heat."
Wei Ye took the drink, touched his lips and put it down. The old man held the teacup again and respected Lu Zhishen, Xu Xuanling, Wang Chao, and Li Yu. He respected him again. He then sat down and looked at Wei Ye up and down and said, "The village is backed by Taohua Mountain, and there are many peach trees everywhere, so it is called Taohua Village. The little old man is the owner of the house, and everyone calls the little old man Liu Taigong. I see that the gentleman is extraordinary, but I don't know where the immortal temple is? Where are you going?"
After hearing this, the magician shook his head and said, "Old man, Wei is now in the Lingxu of Cave Light. He is so quiet that he is out of the mountain to travel leisurely. He does not worship Buddhas and pray to the west to pray for scriptures, nor does he cross the sea to kill dragons in the east. He heard that the current official family is good at doing things, so he accompanied the monk from Mount Wutai to go to the Bianliang territory together."
The old man Liu Taigong didn't understand what the cave light Lingxu was, but when he heard the three words "Wutai Mountain", he immediately showed a pious expression and said: "The strange masters are extraordinary in appearance and majestic in nature. It turns out that they came from the living Buddhas, so they are rude and respectful!"
Lu Zhishen, who was standing aside, closed his hands and responded, then drank the drink in one go, and ate the tea such as peach jelly, dried dates, persimmon cakes, steamed chestnuts and other teas in front of him. In a blink of an eye, he ate the wind and the wind storm.
Seeing Lu Zhishen's eating habit, Liu Taigong hurriedly said, "The masters have been walking for a day, but I think they are already hungry. The old man asked the masters to use vegetarian food."
After saying that, his family put on a spring platform and put the food on it. Wei Ye looked at it and saw that a bowl of vegetables were also prepared in a clean manner. However, the dishes were nothing more than vinegar, water celery, yellow fungus, tofu skin, dried bamboo shoots, and dried radish and rice.
When Lu Zhishen saw the table full of vegetarian soup, he was a little unhappy. Seeing Lu Zhishen's appearance, Liu Taigong hurriedly asked his family to pack up a plate of sauce meat, a plate of roast goose, and a large pot of wine. He sent a smart servant to sift the wine for Lu Zhishen. He saw that the monk was drying the wine, grabbed the meat and chewed it. In a blink of an eye, all the wine and meat were eaten up.
Liu Taigong looked at Lu Zhishen's appearance and stayed for a while. Seeing Wei Ye and Xu Xuanling had eaten vegetarian food, Wang Chao and Li Yu were not picky about wine and meat, and then he felt relieved.
After everyone had eaten the "vegetarian food", Liu Taigong arranged for his family to prepare tea fruits and walked down the steps. He saw the manager of Taohua Village poking his head outside.
Seeing his guilty look, Liu Taigong immediately walked up to him and shouted, "Liu Rui, why didn't you go back to the house earlier to turn off the lights and rest, why are you still peeping here?"
Liu Rui was also cautious and took Liu Taigong's sleeve to the outside of the door. Looking at the lobby inside, he said softly: "Taigong, you used to chant Buddha's name and monks, but now you have received a response. Such a group of Taoist monks can finally eliminate the disaster. The five people in this line of work are all people with practice, and the leader of Taoist priests is 80% a Taoist official. This person with an official body is even more amazing. If you do this, you can get more than ten years of stable life!"
After hearing this, Mr. Liu shook his head and sighed: "Although the gentleman is a bit arrogant, he doesn't look like a Taoist official who has told him. The Taoist officials have all given him the talismans. The best ones use jade talismans, the medium ones use gold talismans, and the inferior ones use silver talismans. The gentleman has no talismans on his body, and he is clearly a wild-footed Taoist priest. He comes with him and doesn't care about meat and wine. Even if he comes from Mount Wutai, he may not be considered an elder with precepts. If he fights with two strokes, he will be four and a half practitioners, which will only be nine years of time."
Speaking of this, he waved his hand again and said to Liu Rui: "Why don't you clean up the hall quickly and ask the masters to stay here. The sun is setting, who dares to walk outside?"
After saying this, Liu Rui shrank his head and hurriedly said, "Go to go, villain," and ran away with a plague head and plague.
In the hall, Wei Ye held a cup of salted ginger tea, took a sip, then turned his eyes and said to Lu Zhishen: "Master Lu, how are you looking at this place?"
Lu Zhishen shook his head and said, "It's such a kind of attentive family, but it's a bit too polite, and he's always careful, as if he's afraid that the family will not stay!"
As he was just talking, he saw Mr. Liu walking in. Wei Ye smiled at Mr. Liu and said, "Old man, Mr. Wei has been studying Taoism for many years, but he has no ability. He only has the technique of distinguishing veins and finding dragons. He has gained some gains. According to Mr. Wei, the mountain behind Taohua Village is in a weird way. The mountain is stacked with rocks and rocks, and it is also a word for chaos. There is a danger of bandits entrenching. I don't know if there is any obstacle or not?"
Hearing Wei Ye’s question, the boy who served the family said quickly: “This gentleman is such a good job in geography. To be honest, two big kings came to Taohua Mountain, but they all came later…”
This made Liu Taigong shout, "What are the random talks of children? I can't continue!"
After saying that, Liu Taigong smiled at Wei Ye and said, "Masters are traveling far away, I'm afraid they're tired. But I don't have much room here, only there is a Buddhist temple in the village. The place is quite spacious and clean. So I asked Masters to take a break in the Buddhist temple tonight."
Wei Ye nodded and smiled, "That's how we are tired of the old man. Since we have a place to stay, we'll be able to bring us over now."
After hearing Wei Ye's words, Liu Taigong responded happily and sent his family to lead the way. He went straight out of the Liu family's house and saw a clearing of threshing in the village, facing a newly built temple. The pillars of the temple were not even painted, but white wood and gray bricks and stones were repaired, as if they had just been completed.
Wei Ye walked up and saw that there was no clay body of gods and Buddhas in the temple, only a vertical picture of the Buddha's teachings. However, the Buddha's body in the painting was not wearing a cassock, but instead wore a white crane flap. The light behind him turned into a treasure wheel, which was very different from ordinary Buddhist paintings.
Looking at this Buddhist painting, Wei Ye showed a smile on his face, and he held Lu Zhishen's hand and said, "Master Lu, we have used vegetarian rice and haven't eaten enough wine. Why not eat wine in this Buddhist temple and sleep with a more interesting way by slept with your head covered."
When Lu Zhishen heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "To be honest, the wine in this farm is too thin, and it is not as strong as Mr. Wei's wine."
The two walked into the Buddhist temple with a smile. Wei Ye shook his sleeves and lit the incense candle on the platform into a smoke. He touched it from his sleeves and took out a large porcelain jar and two sea bowls. Xu Xuanling came over to sift the wine for the two of them.
Seeing them like this, the Liu family was even more scared and hurriedly closed the door of the Buddhist temple, and the person had already left.
Seeing the door of the Buddhist temple closed, Lu Zhishen couldn't help but smile and said, "The customs in this place are indeed not good. We eat our wine, but you are going to close the door!"
Wei Ye shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not as simple as closing the door. Master Lu, if you push it open, is the door locked from the outside?"
After hearing Wei Ye's words, Lu Zhishen indeed walked forward, pushed the door, but did not move at all. He suddenly became more and said angrily: "This Taohua Village is indeed not a good place. Don't blame the old man for trying every means to keep us. I think it's a thief's nest here!"
The magician picked up the wine bowl, took a big sip, shook his head and said, "Master Lu, don't worry. Since the lock is locked outside, I see that Mr. Liu is still conscientious. If he is willing to come out and say a few words, it will be impossible to spare him all the time in the future."
While I was talking, many torches suddenly lit up outside. It turned out that the whole village of Taohua Village gathered in front of the Buddhist temple.
Faces were reflected by the beating flames, but they could not tell what their expressions were. Liu Taigong was leaning on a rattan pole in one hand, and the family next to him took incense, candles, paper money, fruits, and blessings. He put them in front of the Buddhist temple, and then knelt down and said, "Masters, it's not that our farmers are bullying their hearts and lives, but the kings on Taohua Mountain want us to worship human flesh and hearts, and they must be girls and boys. There is only one young man.
My daughter is only nineteen years old this year, and I really can't bear to be the food of the kings. According to the rules of the kings, a person with fame and status can be worth three women and children. One of them is wise and eloquent practitioners like the masters, and one of them is worth two. With the masters and their entourage in Taohua Village, we can have at least seven or eight years of peace and well. I hope that the masters will be merciful and charitable, and give their lives and save us!"
Mr. Liu knelt down here to express his feelings. The manager Liu Rui burned the paper money and horses one by one, muttering: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Save the Heavenly Lord of the Desolation. Masters sacrificed their lives for us, and they would definitely ascend to the Pure Land soon and achieve the right result. I hope that the masters will go with peace of mind. We will pay tribute to each other in all seasons and will never break our promises. Then the masters are resentful and become evil spirits. We must also know that the opponent is the king on Taohua Mountain, which has nothing to do with our Taohua Village!"
He kept thinking about ghosts here, but a chuckle came from the Buddhist temple and said, "The customs in this place are indeed not bad. If you ruin your lives, you are willing to burn paper and serve rice, but it is better than beasts and ghosts! You ordinary people should not be here, it will ruin the excitement of Wei and Master Lu's drinking!"
Mr. Liu was trembling and wanted to make a few words of excuses. An iron arrow suddenly shot out of the Buddhist temple, nailing it to his feet: "Don't you get out of here!"
At this moment, the villagers all over the ground screamed in shock, crawling and rolling. Liu Taigong couldn't stand up and collapsed to the ground. Liu Rui carried the old man and ran away like a flying one.
These people were shocked by an arrow. Wei Yeduan sat next to the altar and took a sip of wine before laughing: "Master Lu's energy has now disappeared a lot! If it were on Mount Wutai, I'm afraid the Buddhist temple will be no longer safe."
Lu Zhishen wiped the bearded wine with his sleeve and laughed: "What courage do these Han Villagers have? They beat them up, and they didn't see the means of Sa's family! Sa's family doesn't come to beat them, but this strong man in Taohua Mountain is the business of Sa's family. Mr. Wei should not compete with the Sa's family for this deal!"
Wei Ye smiled, and his index finger flicked the edge of the bowl, and he also smiled: "If you are a strong man, you will let Master Lu play with it. If it is a monster, it will be Wei who will make a profit!"
The two looked at each other and laughed a few times, but Xu Xuanling suddenly became alert: "Master, it seems that evil spirits are surrounding you!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Chao, the toad monk, had been hiding in the corner, but then he jumped up and shouted: "Excellent, great, why did the walls of this Buddhist temple become soft and soft? Why did my monk's robe become so wet?"
