Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 342

Zhihua Temple, also known as "Baoen Zhihua Zen Temple", is located in the east of the capital and has a history of more than 200 years since it was built.

The temple covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu, facing south from the north, including several buildings and halls, over a hundred houses, and many monks...

If you want to compare this Zhihua Temple to an "enterprise", it is considered to be very well-run. Even if it is compared to the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, it is not far behind.

But these days, the temple is not peaceful.

First, before ten months ago, several monks disappeared mysteriously...

At first, the monks didn’t take it too seriously, because this kind of thing is very common in monasteries with a large number of people-almost every year, some people can’t stand the hard life of monks and leave without saying goodbye of.

But later, it wasn't just the monks who went missing. Some people also came to the door, saying that their family members had never seen anyone since they came to the temple to offer incense one day.

However, since no one was alive or dead, there was no definite statement about this matter. After all, there was no evidence to prove whether they disappeared in the temple or after they left the temple... Even the government could not find out Find out why.

Later, in the last seven or eight days, some monks in the temple went crazy one after another. I don’t know if these people were frightened or ate something wrong. Strong aggressiveness; please ask the doctor to come and see them, even the doctor was injured by them, the other monks had no choice but to imprison these "crazy monks" temporarily to see if they would get better on their own.

At this time, a few old monks with some supernatural powers in the temple said: "Our Zhihua Temple may be haunted by goblins."

Some people may find it strange to see here, Buddhist pure land can also make goblins?

Damn, there were monkeys in the Lingxiao Temple, isn't this "Monkey King" also a goblin?
To put it bluntly, whether you can make trouble depends on whether the party that is making trouble is strong enough, as long as it is strong enough, demons can also enter the church, holy water is used as vodka, and Jesus is like dancing on a pole... It’s a long way off, anyway, that’s what it means.

Closer to home, let's talk about today.

Early in the morning, Master "Rencan", an eminent monk of Zhihua Temple, came out of the temple to buy some things.

It is said that he is an eminent monk, but in fact Rencan is not very old, just in his early forties, which is considered to be the Mesozoic generation in the temple; Rencan's master is the Zen master "Nengze" who is the current abbot of Zhihua Temple, which is what we mentioned above... ...one of several "old monks with some supernatural powers".

Rencan came out today for no other reason than to buy some things that might be needed to get rid of the demons under the order of his teacher, because... with the things and methods they have in the temple, it is obviously impossible to handle it.

Unexpectedly, this Rencan had just bought a few things and was walking on the street, and by coincidence, he ran into Liang Jingshuo.

Rencan also learned some superficial things from his master, so when he looked at it from a distance, he was taken aback by Liang Jingshuo, and said to himself: This kid is full of yin, he doesn't look like a human being at all, I can't let him go .

This monk was really a bit reckless, relying on the "props" he had just bought in his luggage, he stepped forward and stopped Liang Jingshuo, wanting to come and slay demons.

Liang Jingshuo was taken aback when he saw such a person popping up suddenly, and asked, "Monk, what are you doing?"

Ladies and gentlemen, what he said was very blunt.

Even if you were an uneducated street slut in those days, when you saw a monk like Rencan who came out of a big temple and was well-dressed (the fabrics of monk robes and cassocks can also be very particular), he would give a respectful salute in advance. "Master" or "Master".

But Liang Jingshuo was a "monk" when he opened his mouth, and he didn't intend to give the other party face at all.

Does he have no eyesight?Or is it uneducated and uneducated?

neither.

It's just not dealing with the monk.

Although monks and Taoists are all monks, they are indeed enemies in many cases.

It's normal for Liang Jingshuo, who is an alternative to the corpse gate, to have a bad attitude towards monks. Besides, these monks in Zhihua Temple don't really like Taoist priests very much.

As soon as Rencan heard the other party speak like this, she felt a little guilty of anger, and replied in a deep voice: "Why? I think you have ghosts on you!"

"Ah?" Liang Jingshuo raised his eyebrows, "Is there a ghost on my body?" He said, looking at the other party, "I think you have a ghost on your body!"

What he said was not nonsense, because there was really something wrong in Zhihua Temple, so Rencan also had some evil spirits on him.

As the two of them came and went, they started arguing.

Arguing and arguing, Rencan even took out the things in the bag, trying to "save" the "demon" in front of him in the street... Will it work?

But no matter what, the quarrel between the two of them must have aroused the attention of the common people; in this capital, the eyeliners of various forces are all over the place, and the news naturally spread quickly, so the companions of both sides received it not long after. The news came quickly.

On Liang Jingshuo's side, because everyone happened to have nothing to do today, so...Sun Yixie, Huang Donglai, Lin Yuancheng, Linghuxiang, Qin Feng, Tyrell, and Fudozi all came.

It's not just them, since the national teacher Yan Danzi and the "sage prostitute" Yu Jianli were also at the posthouse when the incident happened, these two also came to join in the fun.

As for Rencan, let’s not introduce them one by one here. Anyway, the group of monks who came here took the lead. There are also many young monks of the "Guo" generation.

There were dozens of people on both sides, and they spread out on the street, as if they were about to "hand over" their grievances.

The common people who came to watch were very happy. Think about it: monks, Taoists, and knights of the rivers and lakes are fighting in the street... After the excitement, the neighbors can't add fuel to it for a year or so?
It's a pity that this one didn't work out in the end.

Because when Shuangxie revealed the identity of the "Guardian Guardian" and the imperial gold medal, the monks immediately lost three points, and when they explained that Liang Jingshuo was the corpse exorcist... even Rencan herself felt that this was a misunderstanding.

Seeing that the monks couldn't get down the stage, Yan Danzi stood up as the national teacher to smooth things over and gave the opposite side a step, so Rencan and the others naturally hurried down the slope.

After the "misunderstanding" between the two parties was resolved, they went to Zhihua Temple together.

Seeing this, some people may want to ask, since the conflict has subsided, why didn't they go their own way and go back to different places?

It's very simple, because after Fudozi and Yandanzi arrived at the scene, they looked at the opposite side and found that Liang Jingshuo hadn't misread it—not only Rencan was on the other side, but almost all the monks were more or less contaminated. With evil spirit.

That matter is obvious, there is indeed a problem in Zhihua Temple, we have to go and have a look, so they went back with the monks.

As for Rencan and the others, it was difficult to refuse the request made by Yan Danzi and the others.

First of all, their temple already needs to eliminate demons, and it is not a bad thing to have "foreign aid" take the initiative to come to the door.

Secondly, even though they may still have conflicts in their hearts because of the little bit of hatred between Buddhism and Taoism, but now they are "Guardian Guardians" and national teachers... really want to reject these people In addition, it should also be done by the high-level officials in the temple, not the middle-level people of their benevolent generation.

Therefore, no matter what, let's take the person back first and then talk about it. If there is such a nasty thing...let the abbot talk about it.

To make a long story short, it didn't take long for these two groups of people to come to Zhihua Temple together.

At this time, it is Si o'clock in the morning.

During this period of time on weekdays, the area outside the main hall of Zhihua Temple is open to the outside world. People can come in and out freely, come to the hall to offer incense and pray for blessings; if you have a noble status or are willing to spend more money, you can also go to the back hall Find an eminent monk to receive you alone, ask you scriptures and talk about Buddhism, which is the so-called VIP treatment.

However, due to a lot of incidents in the temple some time ago, Zhihua Temple has been temporarily closed to the public in recent days.

Today's Sishi, two eminent monks of the "Neng" generation are giving lectures to the monks in the temple in the Zhihua Hall (the main hall of Zhihua Temple, which is equivalent to the Daxiong Hall of ordinary temples).

Talking and talking, accompanied by a burst of clamor, they ushered in a group of uninvited guests.

The two masters "Neng Ming" and "Neng Zhi" sitting in the hall faced the outside of the hall. They were the first to notice the approaching crowd, but they were eminent monks after all. Speak the scriptures calmly.

On the contrary, many of the young monks who were listening to scriptures below were quickly attracted by the noise coming from behind, distracted and turned their heads back.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. After the two masters have finished speaking, the poor monk will enter the hall to pass on the message." Rencan, who was outside the hall, stopped when he reached the gate of the Zhihua Hall. , and turned his head and whispered to the "guests".

Unexpectedly, Fudozi, who is the oldest here and should be the most prudent, actually replied to him at this time: "What are you waiting for? The monsters and evil spirits are already riding on their faces, why don't you just leave it there and talk about it?"

With a loud voice, Fudoko uttered this curse-like remark without hesitation.

Now, the two eminent monks Nengming and Nengzhi have to stop if they don't want to...

"Amitabha." Nengming interrupted the lecture, chanted the Buddha's name softly, and then asked the crowd at the gate of the hall, "Who is making noise outside?"

"Me!" Fudozi said, then walked in the door, stood there, raised his chest and shouted at the two old monks sitting in the hall, "Wawushan, Xuanqizong, Fudozi."

Looking wisely, I thought that this "Xiaodao" was only in his twenties, how could he be so rude?

Immediately, the two of them turned their attention to Rencan and other benevolent monks in front of the hall, wondering who they brought.

Rencan also understood the meaning of his two senior uncles, so he quickly followed in, saluted and said: "Amitabha, two senior uncles... this Taoist priest Fudoko was appointed by the emperor recently to protect the country. One of the celestial masters, said he was coming to the temple to catch demons, this rudeness... I hope my uncle will forgive me."

"Oh?" Neng Ming and Neng Zhi's expressions changed a little when they heard the words "Heavenly Guardian of the Country".

Obviously, the monks in Zhihua Temple had already heard about these rumors about these "celestial masters", but they didn't expect that these few would come to their temple today to make trouble.

"Xiaodao, you really..." After a breath, Nengzhi was still a little bit unconvinced, so he wanted to confirm it with Fudoko himself.

"Stop talking nonsense!" But Fudoko couldn't bear the rhythm of the old monk's slow talking, and interrupted directly, "There are four demons around you, and Xian Xin is here to grind slowly with me. What about lip service?"

After saying that, Fudoko jumped up, flew over the heads of hundreds of monks sitting cross-legged in the hall, and came to the side of the hall in a flash.

In this Wisdom Hall, there are three statues of Sakyamuni Buddha, Infinite Buddha, and Medicine Buddha in the center, and on both sides are wooden and gold-painted eighteen arhat statues. Right now, Fudoko came to one of the Arhat statues and waved his fist. just hit.

At that moment, there was only a "boom", like falling wood and dust.

Just when the monks inside and outside the hall were shocked by Fudoko's sudden "disrespectful" behavior, and were about to get angry...

Sudden!From the collapsed Arhat statue, a puff of black smoke actually rose, and condensed in the air into a ball of air that looked like a monster, and then fled away with a roar of "Woo--".

This scene of "beating the wooden arhat, and seeing the shadow of a demon in the dust" really shocked everyone.

However, Fudoko's actions have only just begun...
