"Daoist Jin'an."

"Chen Daochang."

"The sword-cutting benefactor."

"The poor monk came to the temple at night to chatter, didn't he disturb the rest of the Taoist priests?"

Master Shanneng clasped his palms together, with a kind smile on his kind face, and saluted one by one.

Jin An was taken aback for a few breaths.

This is the reaction.

"Master Shanneng is too polite. You are a respected Sakyamuni monk, so you are naturally very welcome."

Jin An stepped aside to make way for Master Shanneng.

"Master Shanneng, have you had dinner yet?"

"It just so happens that the little brother and the old Taoist just came back from the outside and haven't had time to eat dinner. Master Shanneng will have dinner together in the temple tonight."

"Old man, I'll go to the back kitchen to light the fire and cook."

Taoist Buddha has always been an old Taoist priest from the enemy family. This time, he changed his normal routine and spoke enthusiastically to Master Shanneng.

Master Shanneng clasped his hands together and chanted a Buddhist mantra: "Chen Daochang is too polite, the poor monk is not hungry yet, how can he bother Chen Daochang to run around for a worthless old monk like me..."

The old Taoist said enthusiastically: "You're welcome, you're not welcome at all."

"Master Shanneng, please talk to your little brother first. If you are an old man, I will prepare dinner soon and call you Master Shanneng. Master Shanneng, you have something to eat tonight. If you can taste the old way, I will cook it myself. I am an old man. The best ones are spicy tofu and ground three delicacies, all of which are vegetarian.”

After the old Taoist finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the kitchen. While walking, he shouted enthusiastically to Master Shanneng that dinner will be ready soon, and he must stay in the temple for dinner.

Half a month ago in Lingqian Township.

Jin'an, the old Taoist priest, and Master Shanneng practiced rituals together, spending days and nights performing rituals for those dead fetuses.

The relationship between several people is not unfamiliar.

The old Taoist priest and Master Shanneng have been acquainted for a long time.

"Chi Jian, you go to help the old man. There are so many people for dinner, and he washes rice, washes vegetables, and cooks by himself. I think he will be too busy." Jin An said to Chi Jian.

"Okay, Master." Chi Jian nodded.

Avenue induction.

Yinde one.

Watching Jian Jian turn and leave, Jin An saw that Master Shanneng still wanted to speak, he laughed and said: "Master Shanneng, you don't need to be too polite with us, everyone in Lingqian Township is suffering from life and death together, let's do it together Save the souls of the dead through rituals, your compassionate mind has already convinced the few of us, so it is only natural to keep you for dinner."

While talking, Jin An invited Master Shanneng into the Taoist temple: "Master Shanneng, don't stand outside. It's windy at night, so advance to the Taoist temple."

"Then tonight we will talk about Taoist Master Jin'an and the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera." Master Shanneng clasped his hands together, then stepped up and entered the Taoist temple after nightfall.

Jin An stayed behind and closed the door.

Outside the Taoist temple at this time, the whole world has already fallen into the night, the sky is completely dark, and the road is dim under the moonlight. When Master Shanneng came to the Taoist temple of the five internal organs, he did not have a torch or lantern in his hand.

The dark night does not affect Master Shanneng's travel at all.

Master Shanneng is an eminent monk of Bailong Temple, so the darkness would have little effect on Master Shanneng.

Just like Jin An's current strength, he can barely achieve night vision.

boom.

The gate of the Taoist temple was closed, and Jin An, holding a lantern in his hand, led the way, leading Master Shanneng all the way to the private backyard.

When passing the unrepaired main hall along the way, Master Shanneng praised it without hesitation.

Looking at the Taoist temple that has not yet been expanded, Master Shanneng suddenly felt emotional: "The poor monk was sent to the monastery by his parents to practice as a monk since he was a child. There are three thousand. I only know that I can eat enough when I enter the temple, so I have visited the Buddha since I was a child, wiped the lamp oil in front of the Buddha's seat, and kept the incense for the Buddha... Hard work every day, from a young novice to a monk, from childhood to adulthood, Never left the monastery."

"At that time, the poor monk was dull by nature. Others could comprehend a scripture three times a day, but the poor monk couldn't understand the truth in ten and a half months. He was slow to understand since he was a child. I don’t understand why people in the world like to kneel down to pay homage to the Buddha, but I only know that my parents can’t support me, and I can only stay in the temple so that I don’t starve to death on the street.”

"So, I worked harder than other young novice monks and monks, chanting scriptures and worshiping the Buddha day and night; while others copied the scriptures once a day, I copied the scriptures three or five times. I have copied the scriptures for more than [-] years. I even memorized the catalog of scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion of Bailong Temple upside down, and reorganized the scriptures and meanings of the Sutra Pavilion of Bailong Temple to make it easier for future generations to find Buddhist scriptures; The lamp oil and incense have never been cut off for a moment, and the incense candles are changed every hour for the Buddha to keep the peace and tranquility for the Buddha..."

"It's also thanks to my good master. My master pleaded for me in front of the abbot several times, so even though I was in the weak crown year and the thirteenth year, I was still left in the temple by the abbot, and I was able to see the Buddha." I have devoted myself to copying scriptures for more than [-] years. Whenever I think of my mentor and abbot, the poor monk will be grateful."

"Finally, hard work can make up for one's stupidity. At the age of no doubts, the poor monk suddenly became enlightened overnight, and the essence of the scriptures in the Sutra Pavilion began to be learned without a teacher. The ten Buddhist scriptures, the ten prajna scriptures, and the four Agama scriptures... the poor monk stood in front of the Buddha's seat Lamp oil comprehends the compassion of my Buddha, the two-legged venerable of blessing and wisdom, if you see me with color and beg me with sound, you are walking in an evil way and cannot see the Tathagata..."

Jin An led the way, quietly listening to Master Shanneng's memories. When people are old, it is easiest to recall the past.

At this time, the two happened to pass by the Yeyin Pavilion.

The intention of Jin'an to build this Yeyin Pavilion at the beginning is just like the two plaques hanging on the pavilion——

The small hermit hides in the mountains, and the big hermit hides in the city.

With the help of quiet cultivation in the mountains and forests, immersing in a paradise independent of the world, those who falsely claim that they have seen through the world of mortals can only be regarded as Xiaoyin escaping from reality at best.

On the contrary, those who can still forget things and me in the noisy interference of the world, do not forget the beginning, and those who do not get dusty in their minds are the ones who truly achieve the Tao.

Just like the Taoism of the five internal organs.

Taoist temple of the five internal organs.

Taoism of the five internal organs is highly regarded in Jin An's heart.

"The small hermit hides in the mountains, the big hermit hides in the city..." Master Shanneng looked at the plaque in the Yeyin Pavilion and repeatedly chewed on the artistic conception.

"Amitabha."

"The poor monk has always thought that as long as he devotes himself to practice and comprehend Buddhism, he can find a way to save the world from the sea of ​​suffering, and one day he will find the other shore of my Buddha. But the poor monk is not deceiving himself, hiding in the White Dragon Temple for a lifetime, But he forgot that the Buddha became a Buddha after passing through the three great asamkhya kalpas."

"The poor monk didn't realize until this time that the poor monk really had no roots of Buddhist wisdom since he was a child. I am still the same me, the little novice monk who hides in the White Dragon Temple because he is afraid of starving to death. I have never had any Buddha nature. , the heart of the Buddha. Amitabha."

Master Shanneng clasped his hands together, sighed, and laughed at himself.

"The poor monk has copied the scriptures all his life, but he is still self-righteous and complacent, thinking that he is close to the Buddha. In fact, he has not even realized the evil of the human heart. He has shallow thinking and short-sightedness. How can he understand it?" How can we comprehend the eleven sufferings of the Buddha: birth, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, bitterness, worry, annoyance, association of resentment and hatred, parting from love, and not getting what you want.”

Master Shanneng was full of sorrow.

"Master Shanneng, you are too humble. You have always been a master monk in my heart." Jin An didn't know how to persuade this master monk of Bailong Temple at this time.

After all, he has never experienced the life of Master Shanneng, and he does not know the change of mood of Master Shanneng after looking at the two plaques in the Yeyin Pavilion.

He doesn't even know the allusions about the Buddha's three kalpas and the Buddha's eleven kinds of suffering.

The eminent monk of Bailong Temple in front of him shook his head: "It's not that the poor monk belittled himself and was too self-effacing."

"In the past, the poor monk always thought that I entered Bailong Temple since I was a child, kowtowed and recited scriptures day and night, and never forgot my original intention to stay in front of the Buddha's seat all my life, and never let there be a piece of dust in front of the Buddha's seat. The greatest dedication. I was even a little complacent, thinking that no one in the whole temple could match my respect for the Buddha."

"But looking at the expansion of the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera today, the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera has taken on a new look in the hands of Daoist Jin'an, and it is flourishing day by day. It has been expanded from a lonely small Taoist temple to three main halls today. Every day, believers come to offer incense, and everything is changing with each passing day. , Carry forward... The poor monk can't help but feel emotional, Taoist Master Jin'an is facing the great darkness, in the darkness, breaking the sky dog ​​to eat the sun, and then reborn in the ashes of the sky, keeping the clouds open to see the sunny sky, is the most difficult and difficult , the most commendable quality."

"The poor monk's self-satisfied little deeds, in front of Daoist Jin'an, feel ashamed, and sigh that he can't do better than Daoist Jin'an."

"The Taoist priest of Jin'an is the real Taoist master who has hidden in the city. The poor monk has copied Buddhist scriptures all his life, including "Maha Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra", "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Vow Sutra", "Avatamsaka Sutra", " The Shurangama Sutra, the Diamond Sutra...but I haven't copied a Buddha's heart. The poor monk has lived for so long, but he still hasn't changed. It's still the same as when he was hungry and frightened when he was a child. He hid in Bailong Temple all his life and just wanted to eat. A well-fed little novice...Xiao Yin who hides in the mountains refers to a self-deceiving person like the poor monk."

Master Shanneng's kind and kind face shook his head and sighed while talking.

When the Buddha attained enlightenment under the bodhi tree, the first sentence he said was: "It's amazing, it's amazing, all living beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they can't prove it with delusion and persistence."

He sighed because it was too late for him to see through the falsehood.

Sigh why he didn't come to Wu Zang Dao Temple earlier to meet Taoist Jin'an.

Sighing that his Bodhi tree is the Yeyin Pavilion in the Taoist Temple of the Five Viscera.

……

……

The private backyard of the Five Viscera Taoist Temple.

Only Jin'an, old Taoist priests, and Jianjian can enter and exit here, and it is not open to incense believers on weekdays.

In Jin'an's room.

The lamp oil is bright.

"Master Shanneng, it's been almost a month since we left Lingqian Township last time. I don't know about the body Buddha. How is Master Shanneng's investigation going?"

Jin An asked Master Shanneng to sit down at a square wooden table, and offered to pour a glass of cold water for him and Master Shanneng.

After Master Shanneng thanked Jin An, the auspicious old monk nodded: "Thank you, Taoist Master Jin An, for your concern."

"It's going well."

Jin An asked curiously: "I don't know why so many physical Buddhas were abandoned by the Buddha this time?"

Master Shanneng clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddha's name, and said kindly: "It's rare to be able to be in the city with such a rare quiet place here, Taoist Master Jin'an. It will clean up the door."

Seeing that Master Shanneng didn't want to say more, Jin An pondered for a while, but didn't insist on asking more.

Perhaps it is because the family ugliness cannot be publicized.

Master Shanneng has concerns.

To avoid dragging the innocent people of Jin'an and Wuzang Taoist Temple into the water.

"Okay, let's not talk about it again."

Jin An loosened his frown, and then asked another matter to the Master Shanneng in front of him: "Master Shanneng, I don't know the ghost that I encountered when I went to Lingqian Township last time. Later, Master Shanneng returned to Bai After the Dragon Temple, have you found any clues?"

When he heard Jin'an's question, Master Shanneng clasped his hands again, lowered his eyebrows and sang a Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the poor monk knows that Taoist Jin'an has been waiting for news from the poor monk, so the poor monk dare not be negligent. Raise some eyebrows."

"Oh?" Jin An frowned.

Then he couldn't wait to ask: "What is the origin of that ghost fetus?"

Master Shanneng: "That's actually not a ghost fetus, but a little Hanba."

Drought?

Little Drought?
Jin An was taken aback for a moment, the news was really surprising.

"and many more."

"The Yinyi River has been cut off several times recently, could it be related to the birth of this little drought?"

Jin An boldly guessed.

However, Master Shanneng shook his head: "When the Yinyi River stopped flowing a few months ago, this little drought hawk hadn't become a climate yet, so it shouldn't be the disaster caused by this little drought hawk."

"Furthermore, there is a characteristic of Hanba, that is, when it comes out, there will be no rain, and there will be a severe drought in the fertile fields."

"The last few times the Yinyi River has stopped flowing, it just stopped flowing, but the rainy season is normal, and the crops on the cultivated land are growing well. It should not be caused by this small drought that suddenly stopped overnight."

Jin An thought about it carefully, and thought that it should have nothing to do with Xiao Hanba.But then he couldn't figure it out again. Since the Yinyi River stopped flowing several times, it had nothing to do with Xiao Hanba, so what was the purpose of those antique merchants cultivating Xiao Hanba?
There is a saying that it is not profitable to get up early.

Jin An did not believe that all this was just a coincidence.

Next, according to what Master Shanneng said, that group of antique dealers should have acquired a small Hanbai either unintentionally or intentionally.

Then, using prostitution to sacrifice to the Wutong God, he originally wanted the noble lady of the He Mansion to conceive a ghost fetus, and then planted the fetus-shaped little Handiao into the lady's belly.

Borrowing the noble life of the eldest lady to nourish the corpse.

Let the little Hanba be reborn.

into something more ferocious.

The corpse first turns into a drought, and then turns into a scorpion.

That group of antique dealers should be cultivating "Jiao".

But there was an accident on the way, the eldest lady was the life of a nobleman, and the Feng Shui overall situation arranged by the masters of He Mansion protected her. Playing songs every night made Mrs. Zhang have a ghost.

Then there was no way.

That group of antique dealers could only borrow Zhang's belly to continue cultivating Xiao Hanba.

Perhaps they had no choice but to plant the little Hanba in Zhang's stomach in a hurry?In order to sacrifice the ghost fetus in Zhang's stomach to the little Hanba, and encourage the corpse, yin, and evil spirits in the little Hanba, otherwise the little Hanba is too fragile to live long?
The little Hanba is a monster among zombies. After planting a little Hanba into the belly of a living person, Zhang's mind began to be affected by the cruel and bloodthirsty Xiao Hanba.

She first ate live poultry such as live chickens and ducks.

As the little Hanba grew bigger and bigger, her appetite grew, and she began to eat the fetal gas and three souls and six souls of the fetuses in the wombs of other pregnant women.

Later, the Zhang family, who was controlled by Xiao Hanba, made a lot of noise in Lingqian Township, worried that Xiao Hanba's affairs would be exposed, so Zhang's family was murdered by the group of antique dealers, and their corpses were destroyed.

Therefore, when the local government quickly invited the eminent monks of Bailong Temple and the eldest lady brought Jin An to Lingqian Township, no clues could be found.

As for why the group of antique dealers still wanted to take Uncle He's birth date before they left, it's probably because of their evil intentions.

Still thinking about the life and stomach of the eldest lady.

I want to take Da Furen and the He family as sacrifices to Xiao Hanba, so as to train Xiao Hanba to become a more powerful "Jian".

Hearing the words of Master Perfect Energy, Jin An's eyes showed shock.

At first, he thought that the group of antique dealers planted ghosts just to kill people, take people's money, and wipe out their competitors in the business field.

Later found that things are not so simple.

The real purpose of that group of antique dealers is actually to target the eldest lady and the He family, and want to change their lives in the headless village.

But now he heard another more unexpected news from Master Shanneng.

Xiao Hanba was born.

The real purpose of that group of antique dealers is to cultivate the legendary "Ju"?
Jin An frowned. Could it be that the Dragon King's landing last night was also related to this group of antique dealers?

So, he told Master Shanneng what he saw last night, and expressed his conjecture.

"Master Shanneng, I don't know how much you know about the case of the Dragon King going ashore last night? I suspect that the explosion, prison robbery, dragon chants, and the Dragon King going ashore last night were all caused by someone taking advantage of the Yijiang Dragon King to pretend to be a ghost and move the disaster to the east. .”

"Perhaps, this matter has something to do with the government's recent plan to issue a hero post, to recruit all the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the city to go down the Yinyi River, thousands of caves, eradicate the Dragon King, and investigate why there have been abnormal celestial phenomena in the Yinyi River recently."

"This was originally just my personal conjecture, and I wasn't too sure, but guess what rumors I heard in Fucheng today? There is a behind-the-scenes pusher, who started to spread rumors to hurt Fu Yin by taking advantage of the Dragon King's landing."

Jin An sneered: "They are forcing the Palace Governor."

"Forcing the governor to make a decision early, go to the Yinyi River to find Qiankudong and the Dragon King."

"I'm afraid Fu Yin has already seen through the conspiracy of the big hand behind it, so the government office has been silent for a long time, and has the heart to jump out of this predicament, but now the city is full of wind and rain, just like "the mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of the building, and the black cloud is pressing down on the city to destroy it." The killing before. Now that the people's minds are in turmoil, it's up to the Governor to decide whether to do it or not."

"If the governor wants to stabilize the hearts of the people, he must go down to the Yinyi River as soon as possible to calm down the Dragon King."

"Master Shanneng, do you think that the group of antique merchants behind the Dragon King's landing this time are also contributing to the flames?" Speaking of this, Jin An took a deep breath, and these antique merchants are really capable of doing things.

"It's just that I have one thing that I can't figure out all the time. What are these people going to such lengths to fuel the flames and go down the Yinyi River to find the Dragon King?"

"They really have such good intentions. Is it to slay demons and demons, cut off the dragon king's head, and restore peace to the people on both sides of the Yinyi River?"

The reason why Jin An guessed that it was the antique dealer's work was because there was still a word in his mind that he didn't say.

Mr. Yinyang's village knife was taken away.

On the Fucheng side is the Dragon King Terrace, the Dragon King Temple, and the Dragon King again.

It's all too coincidental.

That's why he thought that the case of the Dragon King going ashore this time had something to do with the group of antique dealers who had always been mysterious.

Slash the Dragon King with the Dragon Sword?

After listening to Jin An about what happened last night, Master Shanneng looked surprised, and then thought deeply: "Perhaps, the poor monk already knows what their purpose is."

talking.

Master Shanneng took out something from the cassock.

This thing!

It is a broken jade that Jin An is very familiar with!
"The White Tiger Bureau of Changxian County in the Four Elephants Bureau of Duan Tian Jedi has been broken."

"The Immortal Corpse Jie was born."

"The passage is about to appear, the world of great controversy... is coming."

"!"

Jin An was stunned.
