The business of killers has been quite good in recent decades. Many people who are not well-known in the world and have no enough money have gone into this business. Now in this world, if the court is in chaos, the world will also be in chaos. In order to fight for fame and fortune, shady methods are used, and bad rules will naturally attract more people.
For the officialdom of the Qian Dynasty and the Jianghu, everyone used extreme measures, broke the rules, and formed a vicious circle. This was very bad. But for the killers, this was a good thing. When the market was big, they would not have to worry about living. A low-level killer can earn dozens of taels of silver for a single transaction. For a person of Fu Qingshe's level, he can't even think of ordering people around without thousands of taels of silver.
In Fu Qingshe's transaction, two heads are worth five thousand taels of silver. Don't think it's too expensive. If Li Taiping's name becomes more famous over time, the tide will rise, and the price will keep going up. The price has gone up. Therefore, matchmakers will advise employers to kill anyone as soon as possible and save some money.
The Tuoba family has money, but there is no spare money. The money is needed to do business and recruit soldiers and horses, so Bituoli helped invite the most talkative Fu Qingshe, because when it comes to money, you can't have too much. The Tuoba family can do things smoothly. , the only thing that was paid in advance was that those two people were not allowed to enter Jiangning City alive.
The job of an assassin is a technical job, and the most important thing is the first wave of assassinations. If the first wave of assassinations fails to alert the snake, basically the transaction will not be completed. The killer also pays attention to risks and benefits, so the dwarf and the coquettish The woman gave up the sale without hesitation.
A killer of Fu Qingshe's level will not give up easily, because the employer is willing to spend a lot of money to hire you, just to save worry and security. If you quit when you are forced, your reputation in the killer industry will be bad. Once your reputation is bad, It won't be worth anything anymore.
In the past few days, Fu Qingshe has not found a chance to take action, because those three people are very naughty! He will not enter the village or the temple, and will walk around everyone he sees. Fu Qingshe can never really turn into a snake. Bite them.
Fu Qingshe has always been patient, but this time is different. Time is precious to her, because Jiangning City is getting closer and closer.
On this day, Li Taiping and the others climbed over the mountains and ridges to the foot of Jilong Mountain. They saw majestic mountains and towering ancient trees. They couldn't see the sky among them. They climbed the mountain along the forest path and saw that Sanqing was still a bit fragrant. The incense in the Sanqing Palace is not strong enough, because this is not the Taoist Sanqing Palace, but the Buddhist Sanqing Palace.
There are not many Buddhist temples in the Daqian Dynasty that still have incense. It is said that three local brothers achieved enlightenment and became Buddhas on Jilong Mountain, and then built the Sanqing Hall on Jilong Mountain. Whether this story is true or not, it has been passed down to this day, which shows that the local people are If you believe it, since you believe it, the incense will naturally not be cut off.
The three of them, Li Taiping, did not come to worship Buddha and make wishes. They came to stay overnight, because they had been sleeping in the open air for the past few days without eating a decent meal. The monk Zhike led the three of them to pay homage to Patriarch Sanmao, and then settled the three of them in the temple. Outside guest room.
After the three of them settled down, the monk Zhike ordered the young monk to bring them a meal. The monk Zhike was a discerning man, especially when he saw Tantai Ziyi who had washed away all the dust from his travels, he became even more respectful to the three of them and did not dare to lose sight of them. Got etiquette.
The monk Zhike briefly explained the rules of the temple, and told him that you can go anywhere in Jilong Mountain, but you can't go to the back mountain. Before leaving, he was afraid that the three of them would not know the importance of the situation, so he repeatedly warned: "The back mountain is a forbidden area of the temple, and there are great dangers. , never put yourself in danger..."
Tantai Ziyi personally sent Zhike Seng away, and asked Zhike Seng to rest assured that the Jianghu people knew the rules of the Jianghu and would not cause trouble to the Sanqing Palace, let alone get into trouble.
It was past noon, and the pilgrims who had worshiped the Buddha and made wishes on Jilong Mountain were going down the mountain one after another. At the foot of the mountain, there was a person going upstream. I saw that the person had a pair of straw sandals under his feet and was wearing a light yellow lining that was somewhat white after washing.
He was wearing clothes, with a string of beads hanging on his chest, and holding a dead branch he picked up casually in his right hand. He walked up the steps in a hurry, and when he got closer, he turned out to be a great monk from afar.
The young novice who was cleaning fallen leaves in front of the courtyard stopped the senior monk and made gestures for a long time. However, he saw the senior monk repeatedly pointing at his closed mouth and shaking his head...
The little novice monk's behavior attracted the attention of the monk Zhike in the courtyard. The monk came out to greet him, clasped his hands and chanted the Buddha's name.
The little novice monk said hurriedly: "Brother, this mage is mute!"
The monk Zhike glared at the little novice monk and scolded: "Don't be rude!"
Then he saluted again and said, "Master, are you practicing closed-mouth meditation?"
The great monk smiled and nodded, took out the ultimatum from his arms and handed it to Zhike Monk.
The monk Zhike looked at the certificate and said with a smile: "It turns out to be Master Wuyuan. I wonder if Master came to Sanqing Hall to pay homage to the Buddha or to stay overnight?"
Wuyuan took out the alms bowl from his arms, and the monk Zhike understood the purpose of the monk's visit. The monk Zhike let the monk in and took it to the supervisor's uncle to explain the reason. There were not many outside monks in Sanqing Hall all year round.
Finally, one came, and even the prison hospital was very happy. For this reason, the great monk Wu Yuan was arranged to stay in the guest room in the hospital. Living in the hospital for the past few days was much more convenient for worshiping Buddha and meditating. Wu Yuan was very happy about the prison hospital.
I am very grateful for the arrangement...
Wu Yuanxiu's closed-mouthed meditation helped him avoid a lot of trouble. The curious little novice monks who gathered around him were bored, and in the end they had no choice but to leave in frustration. Wu Yuan had no external possessions, only the root to accompany him.
He couldn't bear to throw away the dead branches that had been dead for several days, and kept holding them in his hands.
The monk who knew the guest saw it and said with a smile: "Uncle, you can go to the Dianzuo to ask for the staff. It will also make it easier for uncle to travel in the future."
The great monk Wuyuan smiled and shook his head, pointing to the old silk clothes on his body, and then to the dead branch. The meaning was obvious, these two things were in harmony, and if the staff were replaced, they would not match.
Wuyuan knew the rules in the monastery, so Zhike Monk only told him about the forbidden area in the back mountain. When the great monk nodded, Zhike Monk said goodbye and left...
The forbidden area of the temple is far away from the Sanqing Hall. It is a small courtyard. There are two main rooms and side rooms inside the low courtyard wall. I saw two large pale gold characters "Abbott" written on the plaque on the door of the main room.
No one could have imagined that the dignified abbot of Sanqing Palace would live in such a remote and humble place.
The abbot of Sanqing Hall is a master of Kezi's generation. Since Kehui took over the position of abbot, he has spent most of his time in this small courtyard. There is nothing else in the small courtyard except a dry well in the middle.
, seemed lonely and deserted.
"Ke Hui, Ke Zhi, you two fools, with the same virtues as your damn master, they are both fake monks!"
A roar and curse came out of the dry well and floated straight into the abbot's room. Abbot Kehui woke up from meditation, put his palms together and chanted the Buddha's name...
"Ke Hui, Ke Zhi, you say that the Buddha is not as good as me, that you are not as good as me in talking about Taoism, and that you are not as good as me when it comes to reasoning. You just pretend to be dumb and listen to your farts if you can!"
Ke Hui lowered his eyebrows and bowed to the Buddha, unmoved by the words. Ke Zhi walked to the side of the dry well and said loudly: "Monk, you talk nonsense every day, it's not annoying! Even if you say something that breaks the sky, my two brothers and sisters will
I will never let you leave."
"Ke Zhi, you kid has been practicing Buddhism for hundreds of years, how come you are like an old lady celebrating the New Year, every year is different!"
Ke Zhi was not angry and just replied: "I have cultivated the great dharma, how can you, a monster monk, understand it!"
From the dry well, the demon monk shouted angrily: "The great dharma? Can your six roots be purified? Can the world of mortals be broken?"
Ke Zhi spoke again: "The rules and precepts are in your heart. If you have no desires or thoughts, you will never step into the world of mortals!"
A burst of laughter came from the dry well: "Every appearance is false! The most taboo thing in spiritual practice is to accept death. You frame yourself with clear rules and precepts. You have never seen the world of mortals. How do you cut off the world of mortals? You deceive yourself and others, and you are full of illusions."
After the demon monk finished speaking, he saw the door of the abbot's room slowly opening, and Ke Hui came out with his hands clasped together: "Senior Brother Ke Zhi is in trouble! This demon monk is the best at deceiving people. Do not discuss Taoism with him."
"Kehui, you idiot, why do I confuse people's minds? You don't understand Buddha, so you don't understand me! I walked into the world, ate wine and meat, tasted all the seven emotions and six desires, and saw all the world of mortals, so I cultivated the green lantern to be with the ancient Buddha forever.
Only then did I realize the great path of Buddhism! You bunch of fake monks who don’t eat the fireworks of the world, you locked me up here for two hundred years just because I killed some evil heretics who brought trouble to the world, you bunch of ignorant children!”
Waves of angry curses came from the dry well.
Kehui clasped her hands together and said the Buddha's name: "The sea of suffering is boundless, but when you turn around, you will reach the shore!"
"Bah! There is no limit to the sea of suffering, but there is no end! You are smart enough to enter the sea of suffering, but you know that the sea of suffering lasts two thousand and one nights! How can you say the word sea of suffering? You bunch of fake monks, you bunch of stinky bald donkeys, if I can get out it will be great
Kill these idiots like you!"
The dry well is bottomless, and the walls are as smooth as a mirror. Even if you are a ninth-level master, it is difficult to get up, not to mention that there are two eminent monks sitting on the dry well.
At this time, at the bottom of the spacious well, there was an unkempt old monk stamping his feet and cursing. The old monk's clothes were not covering his body, and eight magic-sealing nails were clearly nailed on the eight meridians. If the eight meridians are blocked, all meridians will be useless, even if you are
It is useless to have the ability to reach heaven and earth.
Ke Hui has been guarding this demon monk for decades. He doesn't know what the demon monk has done. He only knows that the demon monk's name is "Red Lotus" and that every abbot of Sanqing Hall will guard it here for two hundred years until he passes away.
Two hundred years ago, the demon monk Red Lotus caused a bloody storm in the world, and countless people died at his hands. If a child cried at night, the cry of Red Lotus would be stopped, which shows the fierce reputation of Red Lotus.
However, Honglian suddenly disappeared two hundred years ago. Everyone thought that the demon monk Red Lotus was dead, but unexpectedly he was imprisoned in Sanqing Hall.
Li Taiping had nothing to do so he visited Jilong Mountain to see what the 42-hole Taoist paradise looked like. Although Jilong Mountain is not high or dangerous among famous mountains and rivers, it has a different kind of scenery.
.I only saw the main peak of Jilong Mountain. The peak is a huge stone, shaped like a chicken coop, which is called a unique place in the state...
Li Taiping stepped on the stone and climbed straight to the top of the peak, where he saw the mountains stretching like a dragon in his arms. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "One peak is unique and beautiful, surrounded by mountains. It is indeed a holy place for Taoism!"
Tantai Ziyi climbed to the top of the peak and said with a smile: "Senior brother really doesn't know how to show mercy to women! He also doesn't know how to look after my junior sister!"
"Zi Yi will make your senior brother happy. With your skills, if I help you, why don't I just add something superfluous and make you laugh!" Li Taiping said with a smile.
Tantai Ziyi rolled her eyes at Li Taiping and came to stand next to Li Taiping, but she was a little angry in her heart, angry at this fool who didn't understand the style...
