The Buddha Temple is not pure

Chapter 69

Except for a few wild geese, the evening in the attic was very quiet.

The twilight was getting heavier and heavier, and the clouds drove Caixia one way after another.

Everything is as usual tonight, it doesn't look like something big is about to happen, I wish Mengzhen can keep his mind steady, and light the lights as usual, but today is not changing his fate.

Furuo came down to exchange tea, and as soon as she reached the door, she met Ziko, who smiled and said, "Furuo, where is the saint? My master Jin has something to tell."

Furuo is so smart, she knows what the aunt is busy with, so it is impossible to take her to see her. Thinking that Master Jin is only for tomorrow's marriage, she is worried, so she asks Zikou to come over and explain, so she replied: "Holy aunt is not free, if there is anything, please find the young master."

"Didn't the eldest son be grounded by the holy lady?"

"Tomorrow, the holy aunt will get married, how can it be forbidden, the young master has already been ordered to come out and take care of it."

"So that's the case, then don't bother me." Zi Kou winked, knowing that the holy lady is getting married tomorrow, and it is inconvenient to look after her too much, so she rushed to Zhu Minchen.

Zhu Minchen also thought that she came for the holy aunt's marriage, but unexpectedly, it was for Hu Xian'er.

"You said you found the instigator behind it?"

"That's right, Mr. Zhu will go tonight, right? After all, he was harmed so badly by that evil god, so we must seek justice, right?"

Zhu Minchen thought for a while, as if he had found a good opportunity to get rid of the crime: "Go, I must go! I was bewitched by that thing before and committed many wrong things. Now that I have the opportunity to make up for my mistakes, how can I not go?"

"I'm relieved with Mr. Zhu's words." Zi Kou then backed out.

He secretly rejoiced. He wanted to tell his elder sister the news, but he felt it was inappropriate. After all, she was going to get married tomorrow, so she had to rest well tonight.

Ever since Duan Shiqing hired Ji's family, Duan Youyi's illness has not recovered, she lay on the bed all day long, crying and shouting to go with the elders.

In the beginning, Duan Siyao took good care of her every step of the way, but later she realized that she was fine and she was pretending to be sick, so she just ignored her.

Zi Kou came to send news today, she also thought it was for Duan Shiqing and Ji Luoyu's marriage, she didn't want to see her at first, but the servant sent word that it had nothing to do with the young master, it was because of Hu Xian'er.

As soon as she finished speaking, she bounced off the bed like a coffin board that cheated a corpse: "Really?"

"That's what Miss Zikou said."

"Quick, call in."

Zi Kou explained her purpose, but she asked back: "Since Master Jin asked you to come here to deliver the message, does he know where the evil spirit is?"

"I don't know."

She snorted coldly: "It seems that it's not as good as my clever calculations. In fact, I already know where the evil god's real body is, and I still need your Ji family to notify me."

Zi Kou was not afraid, and said with a smile: "Our master has explained that the important thing is not the real body of the fox fairy, but to invite the evil gods and the people who support the fox fairy to go up the mountain tonight, not to catch demons, but to catch thieves."

After hearing this, she coughed twice in embarrassment: "So that's it. I figured it out first. It's just that there is no shadow. Master Jin can guarantee it. Don't wait until the end, and the bamboo basket will be empty."

"Master Jin's account like this is naturally not wrong. It just depends on whether Miss Duan has that kind of effort."

"Could it not?" Duan Youyi's teeth itch with hatred when talking about Hu Xian'er, "The reason why Qing'er is so determined to marry your girl, even at the cost of Ji Shitang, is not because of Hu Xian'er's favor. Bewitching, that thing is harmful to people, it has ruined my Duan family's wealth, and I have to pay a price, go back and tell your family Master Jin, tonight my Duan family will do my best to help and eliminate harm for the people."

Sending Zikou away, she was as energetic as a cow after eating a cow, and she no longer looked ill. Except for the fourth girl, Duan Henxi, she summoned all Duan's parents, young and old, and solemnly ordered tonight's action.

Before leaving, he called Qianlu to his side: "Did you find the things I asked you to find?"

"I thought the girl hadn't mentioned it for a long time, so she had already forgotten it." Tielu looked embarrassed, "I found it after looking for it, but I don't know what the girl wants those things for."

"Now that Ji Shitang has been handed over to the Ji family, we don't need to keep the fourth child. She comes from a humble background and is unruly. After all, she doesn't agree with my Duan family sisters. Keeping her will only cause endless troubles. Tonight, just Tonight, you mix those things into her change of clothes, don't be found out."

"But girl, this is too, too cruel. With Ji Shitang in hand, you can't keep the fourth girl. When Ji Shitang is gone, why can't you keep her? In my opinion, she has no ambition. When Ji Shitang is given , the whole family opposed it, only the fourth girl was willing to let go, no matter what the young master decided, she would support it, so what's the ambition?

Moreover, without Ji Shitang, the fourth girl was not idle, running up and down the mountain, always trying to find a way out for my Duan family, so we don't have to kill them all..."

"Why didn't I realize that you are so assertive before." She squeezed Ruolu's arm fiercely, and threatened, "It seems that you don't pay attention to your master's suffering, and only recognize other girls' good points , Lulu, do you feel sorry for me for eating so much inside and out? Don’t forget who picked you up from the dead, talk to me like this, aren’t you afraid that your sick brother will have no medicine? "

"Girl, I was wrong, I'll do it now." Gritting her teeth, she left.

The sad back view only got Duan Linxiang's fierce white eyes.

At night, the wind is bitingly cold, without the warmth of the day.

In the Daxiong Palace, the children were chanting sutras, and the sounds of wooden fish could not cover up the noise coming from the mountain, Jingtu felt uneasy.

"Listen, the wind is filled with resentment and anger." He put down the teacup.

The Zen room was quiet and airtight, Xue Suilan was sitting opposite him, and said with a smile: "Second senior brother should think about it, after tonight, Dongdu will be peaceful."

"Not necessarily, look at that cat." He pointed to a yellow civet cat in the yard, "The one raised in the temple is only fed vegetarian food, but it occasionally eats meat by itself. Eat neatly, you have to have a good time playing, and eat until the prey is exhausted and there is no longer any thought of escape, you say, is it cruel?"

Xue Suilan smiled and said: "Second senior brother only saw its cruelty, but didn't know the cruelty of snakes, insects, rats and ants. When they did evil, how did they ever think that one day they would be played by cats in their hands? We are talking about cause and effect, Isn't that what it is."

While talking, the cat jumped at another bird, and sure enough, it didn't snap its beak immediately, but pressed its paws on its wings, letting it struggle and flutter without moving, just staring at the cat's eyes left and right, as if looking for fun.

"Do you think it will eat that sparrow tonight?"

Xue Suilan shook her head: "No, just like what the second senior brother said, you can only enter the belly when the prey has no desire to survive."

"why?"

"Never die, don't regret. Those who kneel in front of the Buddha and weep and repent, which one is not in imminent disaster? I think it is cruel to end them simply and neatly. They don't even give a chance to repent."

"It's not unreasonable, but it's your own reason." He drank the tea in his cup, "It's getting late, those who fish have to collect their nets, and those who hunt have to return to their nests, so I won't keep you."

Xue Suilan got up, flicked his clothes: "Come here today, I didn't see Xiao Si."

"I didn't see him when I woke up and went to class in the morning, and I don't know where to play. Do you have something to do with him?"

She shook her head: "It's not a big deal. Since he had dinner at my house on New Year's Eve, my glazed lotus lantern has disappeared. I want to ask him if he saw it."

"The monks will never do anything like gossip. When he comes back, I will interrogate him strictly and give you an explanation."

She smiled helplessly: "No hurry, I bet he won't come back tonight."

Panting, Zi Kou broke in, tried her best to lower her voice and said, "Girl, someone is coming from the temple."

Jing Tu asked, "Who?"

"Thieves are waiting at the foot of the mountain. Only thieves come here uninvited. Let's go."

For some reason, spring thunder rolled in the sky. Looking at the sky during the day, there should be no rain.

"Girl, it's not a good day."

"Shh..."

They hid behind the stone tower, quietly listening to the sound of footsteps from far to near.

There were quite a few people who came, and their voices were broken. After all, removing Hu Xian'er was a laborious task, so we had to call in more people.

Hearing the sound, they bypassed the release pool full of lotus flowers and went to the Great Compassion Altar.

For some reason, Zhu Mengzhen kept giving them instructions, walking three steps to the left and five steps to the right, as if directing a group of blind people. It was not until the thunder passed by that they realized that the porters were all blindfolded.

"As expected of a fox, very cunning."

"What do you mean?"

"First of all, it is to lay mine, to signal to the people that it will rain tonight in Dongdu, and it is not suitable to go out, so that there will be fewer people going up the mountain. If there is no accident, they should not be bumped into by others. Secondly, they will blindfold the eyes of the porters. They will not know what they are doing. What kind of work is being carried out, which god is being moved, let alone where to place this god.”

"Blay? Bray is not a writer... Could it be that Hu Xian'er was really invited by the saint? Why, why did she do that?"

Zhu Meng Zhenzhan looked forward and backward, and after confirming that there was no one there, he opened the lock of the Great Compassion Altar, and bowed three times in front of the fox fairy: "Respect God and forgive sins."

The leading porter heard her prayer, even though he was suspicious, he didn't dare to ask further questions, and he called his fellows to start work, and after a lot of effort, he invited Hu Xian'er down from the Great Compassion Altar.

After leaving the gate of the temple, there are [-] or so stone steps with hurdles. The going down the mountain is actually more difficult than the uphill, and it is also extremely difficult to direct.

But Furuo's expression was not as relaxed as usual, and she was always unconsciously nervous, her heart pounding: "Girl, I don't feel very good."

"what happened?"

"Don't you think that the mountain is surprisingly quiet today? Apart from the sound of thunder and our footsteps, there is no other sound."

"It shouldn't be."

"No, I mean, it's normal to have a cricket or something, isn't it?"

Zhu Mengzhen stopped in his tracks and listened carefully. It was indeed wrong. The mountain was very quiet today, as if something was waiting with bated breath.

In the darkness, there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at them.

"It's really strange, but I don't think there's anything wrong with coming today. What's wrong?"

"Girl, it might be because I'm too sensitive. Let's go quickly. We've settled down with the gods earlier, so we can go back to rest earlier. After all, tomorrow is the girl's wedding day, so we can't delay it. Master Jin is still alive today." Ziko came over to ask questions."

Perhaps it was because she was too quiet, and she always wanted to talk more, but Zhu Mengzhen noticed something was wrong.

"Is Zikou here today?"

"Well, when the evening was approaching, she came. I didn't let her disturb the girl, so I pushed her to the eldest son. It was just for tomorrow's wedding, so don't worry, girl."

"Confused!" Zhu Mengzhen suddenly became furious, "If Master Jin really has something to do, will Zi Kou come over and tell you? Zi Kou is Ji Luoyu's personal maid, and tomorrow will be Ji Luoyu's big wedding. They don't even know how busy they are. Why did you come here to ask me? It is obvious that she did not come here at the behest of Lord Jin, nor is it for marriage!"

"What was that for? Girl, I don't know. I thought you wouldn't see anyone today, so I sent her away." Furuo's voice trembled, almost crying.

"It doesn't matter. Those who don't know are innocent. I won't blame you, but tonight, I'm afraid we are in danger."

"why?"

As soon as the words were finished, a loud shout suddenly came from nowhere: "Who is coming, and what god is in it?"

The sporadic torches on both sides of the mountain road were lit up in response, and the wind seemed to dye the entire hill, and an intermittent long dragon wound and circled until it reached the foot of the mountain.

The ear-filling noise is like a long river rushing, endless and mighty.

Besieged on all sides, probably so.

A biting chill poured down from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Her whole body was icy cold, her legs trembled slightly, and she couldn't even control her breathing.

From birth to now, she has never been in such a situation, and naturally she has never had such an experience. She panicked.

"Girl, what's going on? Why is this happening? Who are these, these people?"

Furuo was nervous and scratched her arm, but she didn't feel it, her eyes were fixed on the torch in front of her, all of them were familiar faces.

"Who's here?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a spring thunder rolled towards her, hitting her in front of her, and her figure was clearly printed on the stone steps behind her in a flash.

"Holy aunt, it's holy aunt!" Someone shouted.

"How could it be a saint?"

Master Jin led people to block the front. On his left and right were the Duan Mansion headed by Duan Youyi, and the Zhu Family headed by Zhu Minchen.

"Eldest sister? How could it be you? Where are you going with this thing?" Zhu Minchen couldn't believe his eyes, even Duan Youyi, who had always been arrogant, didn't dare to say anything.

Master Jin looked back at Xue Suilan, frowned and said, "Yu'er, what's going on?"

Xue Suilan stepped forward and said with a smile: "So it's the fourth sister-in-law. Why did you come up the mountain tonight? What is it carrying behind you? Why is it still covered with red silk? Could it be some treasure, open your eyes if you open it." .”

Under the eyes of everyone, Zhu Mengzhen knew she couldn't deny it, so she waved her hand lightly to signal Furuo to take off the red silk.

Under the red silk, there was indeed a fox fairy carved from white jade, life-sized, but with a ferocious fox face and a woman's body, extremely weird.

"That's a fox fairy, really a fox fairy!"

……

The crowd exploded again, and the voices of discussion were one after another, but no one dared to step forward to ask what happened. After all, it was a holy lady, and it was impossible to think about it. No matter how it looked, it looked like a dream. Someone patted his head, as if urging himself to wake up. Come.

I would rather believe that I was dreaming than believe that the aunt would secretly invite the evil gods to bring disaster to the Eastern Capital.

Zhu Mengzhen interpreted Xue Suilan's eyes carefully, she guessed right, it was Xue Suilan's secret plan, this move was to defeat her army!

But when she calmed down and rearranged her thoughts, she realized that the current crisis was not invincible, and she panicked before it was time to sit still.

After laughing at herself, she tried to turn passive into active, and greeted calmly: "Isn't this Master Jin? Miss Duan is here too. What are you doing here? Why are you here?"

Master Jin said: "Naturally we went up the mountain to catch the thief. I heard that tonight, the perpetrator of the evil will withdraw the fox fairy and choose another cave to make offerings to him. That's why we lie in ambush here, just to wait for the rabbit, but I don't know why the holy lady is here. , with the real body of the so-called Hu Xianer, do you want to give us an explanation?"

Facing Lord Jin's questioning, she calmly said: "So, I, like you, also heard the news and came to catch the thief, but it seems that I came early, and there was no one on the mountain road. I was bored and wanted to dream Jue Temple was asking for a cup of hot tea, but when talking with the host in the temple, he learned that there seemed to be an evil spirit sitting in the Great Compassion Altar, so he went in to investigate and found Hu Xian'er's real body.

As a writer in the Eastern Capital, it is my duty to eliminate harm for the people. I am determined not to allow such evil spirits to stay in the Eastern Capital for any longer, so I asked Fu Ruo to find a few porters to come up and remove the evil gods, and return the Mengjue Temple and the Eastern Capital clean. "

"Mengjue Temple? Why is Hu Xianer's real body in Mengjue Temple? Maybe it has something to do with the monks of Mengjue Temple?"

"No way, Mengjue Temple had a Living Buddha, so it wouldn't be such an unreasonable thing to do. Besides, Dongdu has been disturbed, so what's the benefit to Mengjue Temple?"

"You can't say that, the fox fairy is causing trouble, so someone will invite monks to do it. Mengjue Temple has a living Buddha, so naturally it bears the brunt of it. Presumably, the money for getting rid of the trouble is not small."

"That's right, why didn't I think of it, let's go and ask the monk in Mengjue Temple for clarification."

……

But Xue Suilan said: "If it was really the monk from Mengjue Temple, he wouldn't have told the holy aunt clearly about the mystery hidden in the Great Compassion Altar. This is too contradictory. It seems that the monk is not very smart. Woolen cloth."

Everyone was dumbfounded, and the shouting was suppressed immediately.

"It's strange, since the abbot of Mengjue Temple knows that there is an evil god enshrined in the Great Compassion Altar, and also knows that the people of Dongdu have been tortured terribly by the fox fairy, why didn't he expose it earlier? Could it be because the person who invited Xie has a high status and offended him? I'm sorry, that's why he kept silent?"

Zhu Mengzhen took advantage of the slope to get off the donkey: "Although he didn't say it clearly, I also guessed so, but anyway, I was the writer of Dongdu, and he didn't have to hide or be afraid in front of me, so he told me the truth, learned the truth, I was also extremely horrified, I never thought that there would be such a person with ulterior motives in my eastern capital."

"In that case, did he tell you, who is the one who made offerings to the evil god? It is impossible for someone to put the real body of this evil god into the Great Compassion Altar of Mengjue Temple, and invite Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, and he is the host of Mengjue Temple , but you don’t know it?”

Zhu Mengzhen swallowed his saliva: "I also asked the same question, and I wanted to find the culprit behind it, but the host told me that he had seen that person repent in front of the Buddha. My Buddha is merciful, so I can't bear the embarrassment. I just ask me to deal with the evil spirit. The rest don't need to be pursued."

"No! That person has a vicious mind and ulterior motives. How can we not pursue it? Let's go to Mengjue Temple and ask the monk why he wants to protect the guilty!" Someone yelled again.

But Zhu Mengzhen replied: "In my opinion, the person who spread the news today is even more suspicious. How did she get the news before she informed everyone to gather here? Who would believe her if she had nothing to do with that gangster?" Woolen cloth?"

"The saint is right, how did the news spread?"

All eyes were on Zi Kou, but even a maid of hers couldn't plan well, someone must have instructed her, so Xue Sui Lan became the target of public criticism.

Xue Suilan shook her head and sighed, she didn't expect that there were not a few people clamoring wildly, and it was not easy to control them.

What's more, I didn't expect that Zhu Mengzhen's face is so thick, it is effortless to argue, and a few words can sway people's hearts. It seems that the writing officer in the past few years is not for nothing.

Ji Yuanjin asked secretly: "Yu'er, what's going on?"

Xue Suilan promised Jingtu that he would not lead the disaster to Mengjue Temple, so he would naturally stop this group of mindless fools from rushing up. It seems that he can only turn the last card.

Her eyes were like lightning, and she stared at Zhu Mengzhen: "You don't want your face, so don't blame me."

After finishing speaking, he hurried forward and rolled up Zhu Mengzhen's cuffs.
