The next morning, the sun was shining brightly!
The two young monks Master Baiyun and Shi Fang packed their luggage and prepared to set off for their destination, Great National Temple!
Master Baiyun just went out and said as he walked, "Shi Fang! Fortunately Golden Buddha is fine, otherwise we wouldn't have to go to Great National Temple!"
After hearing this, the little monk Shi Fang quickly ran to Master Baiyun and said hurriedly, "But, Master, Master! It doesn't seem good that we left in such a hurry.
Since you know that there are not simple things in Lanruo Temple, shouldn't you stay one more day and eliminate them?
I remember a Buddha said in a certain sutra that if no one goes to hell and we don't go to hell, then who will?"
Hearing his disciple say this, Master Baiyun shook his head helplessly, and then he said, "You don't even know what scriptures or Buddhas are, what are you talking about?"
Qing Mo has been listening to their conversation in the gap in space. In fact, Shi Fang wants to leave here quickly. He is also particularly afraid that if he continues to stay here, maybe the female ghost from last night will come again!
But last night he was so frightened by Xiao Zhuo's voice that he didn't know where to throw Golden Buddha. He wanted to find Golden Buddha first, so he had to find a way to trick his master into staying first!
Shi Fang The little monk continued to smile and said, "I have a bad memory. Anyway, we are shirking responsibility as soon as we leave!"
After hearing what his apprentice said, Master Baiyun nodded slightly and said, "Then let's do it! I'll stay in Lanruo Temple to collect the demons, and you can take Golden Buddha to Great National Temple!"
Hearing what Master Baiyun said, Qing Mo couldn't help but shake his head. He didn't know why Master Baiyun was so confident about this little monk Shi Fang. Although this little monk was a bit lazy and glib, his essence was still too simple!
In today's world, if he were to take Golden Buddha by himself, he might be sold by someone else and still count the money for others!
Just from the scene in the play where he goes to the market to ask someone to help him repair Golden Buddha, we can see that he is too kind and easily deceived, and today's chaotic world is not suitable for a kind person like him!
But in the end, little monk Shi Fang pretended to be sick so that Master Baiyun stayed with him. After Master Baiyun went to beg for alms and walked away, little monk Shi Fang rushed back to the dilapidated house where he lived last night. He had to quickly find the fallen Golden Buddha!
Master Baiyun was walking alone in the market with an alms bowl in his hand, muttering something in his mouth, "Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately!"
This donor, please give me some charity, right?"
At this time, Qing Mo also came to the market. He had been watching Master Baiyun. He saw him asking for alms from others but was driven away. However, another part of the market started to make noise again!
"You owe me money, pay it back quickly!"
"I have no money!"
The eyes of most people in the market were attracted. As soon as Qing Mo heard the voice, they knew it was Yan Chixia of this era who was collecting debts. He kicked a man down and then scattered copper coins on the floor!
When Yan Chixia saw this, he pointed at the copper coins on the ground and said, "What is this on the ground? You still say you have no money?"
The man who was kicked down by Yan Chixia immediately said, "This is my money!"
Yan Chixia immediately said that the money was his, after all, he had to pay him to do things for him. Unexpectedly, the other party started to lie and said that he did not know Yan Chixia and had never asked him to do anything!
After hearing these words, Yan Chixia immediately became angry and kicked the man who was still lying on the ground again. Then when he was about to bend down and take away the money, he was stopped by Master Baiyun with a Zen staff!
Master Baiyun looked at Yan Chixia and said, "Donor, it's hard to tell right from wrong, and you can't be guilty of hitting someone!"
The person who was beaten saw Master Baiyun speaking for him and quickly said that if Yan Chixia could prove that it was his, he would give it all to him. When Yan Chixia heard this, he immediately took out the spell scroll and recited a mantra!
The copper coins scattered on the ground stood up one after another. Seeing this scene, everyone thought that Yan Chixia knew sorcery and ran away in fear, but Master Baiyun couldn't help but sigh and shake his head when he saw this!
Then Master Baiyun reminded Yan Chixia that those who practice Daoism should not attach too much importance to these stinky things, but Yan Chixia refuted him on the spot, and the two broke up unhappy when they first met!
However, Master Baiyun used some tricks to prevent Yan Chixia from picking up the copper coins on the ground. Just when Yan Chixia turned over the spell scroll to break Master Baiyun's spell, the copper coins rolled towards the lake on the side!
After nightfall, little monk Shi Fang slept all day. He just woke up and found that Golden Buddha had not been found. When he was about to make up some excuse to deceive Master Baiyun, he suddenly heard a knock on the door!
He thought it was Master Baiyun who was back, so he hurriedly went to open the door, only to find that Xiao Zhuo was here again. Then the little monk Shi Fang asked irritably why she was here again!
When one person and one ghost were chatting with each other, Xiao Zhuo agreed to help him find Golden Buddha. Just when he was halfway through the search, Xiao Zhuo took advantage of the kindness of the little monk Shi Fang and successfully deceived him into giving him his first kiss!
But when they found Golden Buddha, they found that Golden Buddha had been smashed. Just when the little monk Shi Fang was about to repair Golden Buddha, the two talked about philosophical topics again!
When the little monk Shi Fang heard Xiao Zhuo ask himself, would he feel that being a monk was a loss? The little monk Shi Fang said, "I have nothing, so what is the loss? The most important thing now is to repair Golden Buddha quickly, so that I can have an explanation when the master comes back!"
Xiao Zhuo also thoughtfully lit the candle for the little monk Shi Fang, took out his own red comb to comb the tips of his hair, and sighed, "Actually, you have to work so hard to be a monk, why bother?"
After Shi Fang heard what Xiao Zhuo said, the little monk immediately said, "The first person I saw when I was born was my master, and the first thing I wore was the monk's robe. Why should I not be a monk?"
Xiao Zhuo asked back, "Then you have grown up now! You can choose not to be a monk!"
Shi Fang The little monk immediately said, "I have been with Master for more than ten years, and he is like a relative of mine! Why did my parents throw me at the gate of the temple so cruelly?
I really want to know what they look like, and even if I encounter them unfortunately in the future, I will avoid them in advance!"
Shi Fang The little monk looks a little pitiful at this time, but Qing Mo seems to understand what his parents did back then. After all, these are troubled times, and if you become a monk, you still have a chance to survive!
At this time, Xiao Zhuo also began to talk about her past events. She said that the life of little monk Shi Fang was much better than hers, and he still had a master.
Unlike when Xiao Zhuo was alive, she had many "parents" who sold her around. Whoever she was sold to was her parents. In the end, she was taken in by a member of the Communist Party of China to fill a house. She was beaten to death by the concubine of the member of the Communist Party of China that night and was buried here at Lanruo Temple!
The little monk Shi Fang who heard these words also felt that Xiao Zhuo was very pitiful. However, Xiao Zhuo finally told the little monk Shi Fang that this story was deliberately deceiving him. In the end, the little monk Shi Fang really believed it!
At this time, Xiao Die, who was hiding in the gap in space with Qing Mo, heard Xiao Zhuo's words. She also thought that Xiao Zhuo was too miserable during his lifetime, and Xiao Die felt a little pitiful for Xiao Zhuo!
Qing Mo Xiao Die, who was standing by at this time, immediately said, "She was indeed miserable during her lifetime. What about you? Aren't you going to tell her about your past?"
Xiao Die heard Qing Mo's words and recalled the time when he was alive. He laughed at himself and said with sadness in his eyes, "I was born in a wealthy family. I was living a good life in this troubled world, but one day a young man fainted from hunger in front of my house!
At that time, his clothes were in tatters and his face was sallow and thin. We heard from him that all his family members had been killed by bandits and now he was the only one left. He had escaped all the way. After hearing this, my parents felt pity for him and left him at home as a handyman!
But I didn't expect that he was sent by bandits to explore the way. After he stayed at my house for a month and figured out most of the things, he came to my house with dozens of bandits on a stormy night and burned, killed and looted!"
When she said this, Xiao Die's whole body exuded black resentment, her eyes turned red without knowing when, her entire face became extremely terrifying, and the nails on her hands became red and long because of her emotions!
Then she continued, "Many people in my family were hacked to death by them that night, and there were broken limbs and broken arms everywhere in the rain mixed with blood overnight!
Like some maids, I was taken to the cottage and teased like a plaything every day. On the last night, I couldn't bear it anymore and chose to hang myself from a beam!
They didn't find my body until Errentian, and then I was thrown into Lanruo Temple's mass grave, and then Tree Demon Matriarch took control of my bones and attracted men for her to feed on like other female ghosts!"
Xiao Die became depressed after finishing speaking. This was also the first time she talked about her life events with others. At the same time, these things were also painful things that she didn't want to remember!
Qing Mo looked at Xiao Die who had his head lowered and said casually, "You are also a poor person, ah no, poor ghost!
Do you want to be resurrected and live your life again?"
Before Xiao Die could speak, the little monk Shi Fang outside the space gap said, "Just lie to me, otherwise you will be too pitiful. It's much better than you are here, free and carefree, no one will sell you anymore!"
It's a pity that you are a ghost now, otherwise we could be friends!"
When Xiao Zhuo was still covering her mouth and laughing, when she heard the little monk Shi Fang say this seriously, her eyes were filled with emotion, and then she laughed softly, "Aren't we now?"
Xiao Die saw that Xiao Zhuo could gain the friendship of little monk Shi Fang, and heard him say such sincere words to Xiao Zhuo, she was also particularly envious of Xiao Zhuo, but then he looked at Qing Mo aside, and she instantly felt that she was also very lucky!
Just when Xiao Zhuo was combing the tips of his hair, the sound of the ring on the staff ringing was heard outside. Upon hearing this, the little monk Shi Fang immediately realized that it was Master Baiyun who was back!
Then little monk Shi Fang told Xiao Zhuo to hide quickly, otherwise Master Baiyun would definitely subdue her if she saw her. After hearing what little monk Shi Fang said, he originally wanted to go out through the gate!
But when she saw Master Baiyun getting closer and closer to the door, she quickly turned around and hid elsewhere. The little monk Shi Fang quickly chased after him. Just when Master Baiyun pushed the door in and found the little monk Shi Fang squatting on the wooden ladder!
After Master Baiyun inquired, the little monk Shi Fang said that he was repairing the stairs, but Xiao Zhuo walked too quickly and left the red comb here. Fortunately, the little monk Shi Fang was so clever that Master Baiyun was too lazy to continue asking!
Then Master Baiyun asked the little monk Shi Fang to close all the windows to prevent the monsters from entering. The little monk Shi Fang thought that Xiao Zhuo had left, so he obeyed Master Baiyun's arrangement honestly!
But at this moment Tree Demon Matriarch's long tongue stuck out. After all, Xiao Zhuo is still trapped here. As a house owner, she must find a way to save her employees!
Master Baiyun took out the gold paint from his bag and painted scriptures on each window, and kept chanting the words. However, Xiao Zhuo, who was still hiding in the house, felt extremely uncomfortable!
Finally, when the little monk Shi Fang saw Xiao Zhuo who was about to die, he couldn't bear to throw out a magic weapon. He tricked the Master Baiyun monster into stealing the magic weapon and lured him away. Then he opened the window with the scriptures and the magic weapon!
In this way, Xiao Zhuo saved his life, but it also caused Tree Demon Matriarch to break through the house and restrain the little monk Shi Fang. Just when Xiao Zhuo was about to escape, Master Baiyun suddenly came back and pinned her to the wall with a Zen staff!
But at this time Master Baiyun couldn't care about Xiao Zhuo who was nailed to the wall, because the little monk Shi Fang was being swept away by Tree Demon Matriarch's big tongue, Master Baiyun hurried over to catch up!
As soon as the little monk was rescued, Master Baiyun immediately shouted, "Shi Fang, listen, go back quickly and get my magic weapon!"
The little monk Shi Fang ran back quickly after hearing Master Baiyun's instructions, but he was still in love with Xiao Zhuo when he gave the Zen staff. Qing Mo and Xiao Die shook their heads when they saw this!
Master Baiyun I am really lucky to have such a disciple. The master is beating me to death in front of me, while my apprentice is chatting with the female ghost in the back!
But thanks to Master Baiyun's success in cultivation, as long as he survives this disaster, he will be able to achieve positive results. Lanruo Temple's Tree Demon Matriarch, his apprentice Shi Fang, the little monk, and the female ghost Xiao Zhuo are the ones who suffered this disaster!
Tree Demon Matriarch walked out of the thick fog, looked at Master Baiyun with gritted teeth, and said bitterly, "Monk, don't think your magic power is higher than mine!"
Master Baiyun pointed at Tree Demon Matriarch and said, "You killed innocent people indiscriminately, which is against Heavenly Journey! I, Baiyun, will come to conquer you today. This is called karma!"
Tree Demon Matriarch heard Master Baiyun's words and immediately retorted, "Karma? Do you really believe that good will be rewarded with good and evil will be punished with evil?"
Master Baiyun replied firmly, "Exactly, this is the natural cycle!"
Tree Demon Matriarch smiled disdainfully and said, "Heavenly principles? You know that evil people can be buried in splendor after death, and there are people who write praises for them!"
Regarding Tree Demon Matriarch's words, Qing Mo nodded in agreement. She is a monster who can see through people's hearts. Generally, such monsters are basically life mentors. They can see a lot of darkness that ordinary people cannot see!
Good people don't live long, and disasters last for thousands of years.
It's not unreasonable for many old sayings to be circulated for so long!
Master Baiyun said righteously, "But they will be sent to hell, suffer all kinds of pain, and get evil retribution!"
Tree Demon Matriarch said, "Hell is darker than the human world, and it will be the same if evil people go there. As long as they have strength, evil people will be rewarded if they go there!
I have been to the underworld, so I know. There is no end to the sea of suffering, but there is no end, old bald donkey!"
Bang bang bang~
Qing Mo couldn't help but applaud Tree Demon Matriarch. Her words revealed a truth that many people find difficult to understand in their lifetime!
Qing Mo slowly said, "For some people, there is actually no difference between hell and the human world, because sometimes the human world is hell!"
