Liaozhai: A scholar should draw a sword

Chapter 253

After the vegetarian meal, Zhou Yu had nothing to do, and began to talk about some Confucian allusions intentionally or unintentionally.

Along the way, he not only wanted to plant the seeds of Confucianism in Hezhou, Xiniu, but also instilled some in the Tang monk, master and apprentice.

Journey to the West is a world that combines prosperity and prehistoric times, and the world plane is extremely high.

Therefore, Zhou Yu believes that as long as he vigorously promotes Confucianism in this world and succeeds, it may not be realistic to become a saint, but there is absolutely no problem in entering the semi-saint and sub-sacred realm.

It was dark, and a monk pretended to come in to pack up his things. Seeing that the fast had been eaten, but the three of them were fine, their expressions changed.

Then, he hurried to report.

As soon as the monk left, Zhou Yu said: "I'll go find the little monk from before, it seems that he is the only one in this temple who has kind thoughts.

Great Sage, those monks will not succeed in poisoning, and maybe they will use poisonous tricks, so you must be careful to protect your master. "

"Yeah!" Sun Wukong nodded.

Not long after, Zhou Yu found the little monk from before.

But he is already invisible, and others can't see him at all.

After a little trick, the little monk walked out of the door in a daze, and walked to a remote place in the courtyard.

At this time, Zhou Yu showed his figure.

"What's going on? Why am I here?" The little monk was startled.

Zhou Yu smiled: "Don't panic, I lured you out, I just wanted to ask you some questions."

The little monk asked anxiously, "Have you had any vegetarian meals?"

"ate……"

"what?"

The little monk was shocked.

"Then what happened to the vegetarian meal?" Zhou Yu asked intentionally.

"The vegetarian meal..."

Speaking of this, the little monk subconsciously glanced around, looked around, and saw that there was no one there, and then whispered: "When I passed by the master's meditation room, I overheard the master's order by accident, and I will serve you during your fast. poison."

"Oh? There is no injustice, no enmity, why do you want to poison?"

"Because..." The little monk hesitated for a while, and then said: "The old master took a fancy to that cassock of yours and wanted to take it for himself.

Run away quickly, or you will be in great trouble. "

"Isn't it? A monk can't make such a crazy move."

"Oh, you don't understand, our monastery..." The young monk gritted his teeth, "Most of the monks in our monastery are bullies from around here."

"There is such a thing?" Zhou Yu pretended to be surprised.

"To tell you the truth, our temple has changed a long time ago, it doesn't look like a monk at all, and the people nearby are all outraged and dare not speak out.

As long as you become a monk here, no one will dare to mess with you, and even your family members will follow suit..."

"Then why are you telling me this?"

"I..." The little monk sighed, "I can't stand it anymore. I want to leave here, but I don't know where to go."

Zhou Yu asked again: "How did you become a monk here?"

"I had an uncle who knew a steward here and sent me here.

I used to think that my uncle had good intentions, but unexpectedly, he was clearly using me.

After I entered the monastery, he began to bully the villagers and seize other people's land, cattle and sheep.

There was a young man named A Bai in the village, who grew up with me, but... was killed by my uncle..."

Having said this, the little monk could not help but wipe away tears.

"I really can't stand this place anymore. If you want to leave, can you take me with you?"

"It turned out to be like this..." Zhou Yu patted the little monk on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will take you out of here when the time comes..."

late at night.

At least half of the monks in the temple mobilized and moved a lot of firewood outside the wing room where the three Tang monks lived.

Because, their plot to poison with Zhai meal failed.

I wanted to be strong, but I was afraid of self-defeating.After all, Monkey King looks weird, and what's more, the three of them had nothing to do after eating the vegetarian meal.

Therefore, the head of the hospital discussed with Elder Jinchi and decided to set fire.

At first, Elder Jinchi was worried that arson would burn the cassocks as well.But the host said that if it was really a precious cassock, it would not be afraid of fire.

If it was really burned, it would prove that the cassock was not a real treasure.

Soon after, thick smoke billowed in the night sky and flames shot into the sky.

These guys are so poisonous that they even blocked the doors and windows, not giving them a chance to escape.

But it's a pity that they really underestimated the background of the three of them.

When the fireworks come together, Monkey King is about to go out.

Zhou Yu smiled and waved his hands: "No hurry, let the fire burn for a while."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a faint blue light group enveloped the three of them. Although the fire was raging and the smoke billowed, they couldn't even get close to the light group.

Sun Wukong looked envious.

Although he has great supernatural powers, he belongs to the power type. He himself is not afraid of the fire, but if he wants to protect Tang Seng, he really can't find a way to let Tang Seng sit in the fire safely.

Either rush out with Tang Seng, or find someone to borrow the magic weapon to extinguish the fire.

On the way to learn the scriptures, he often did this, and most of the time he ran to various great gods to borrow magic weapons.

The fire burned for a while, and the roof finally collapsed.After all, most of these houses are built of wood, and the climate here is relatively dry, so the fire naturally burns fast.

The house collapsed and the fire grew bigger.

At this time, someone with sharp eyes noticed a light in the fire.

After taking a closer look, I couldn't help but exclaimed: "No, they are still alive."

"what?"

"broken……"

"Go and report to the master..."

A group of monks were frightened, and hurriedly scattered and fled.

How can they deal with people who are safe and sound in such a big fire?

As soon as the people ran away, Sun Wukong couldn't help but jumped out and shouted: "I want to burn my grandson, so grandson will burn this place today."

After speaking, he opened his mouth and blew, and a whirlwind brought fire, igniting the meditation room on the other side.

"Goku..."

Tang Seng couldn't help calling out.

However, Sun Wukong was already furious, and he didn't listen at all, and blew several breaths in his mouth, which set the entire Buddhist monastery on fire.

Elder Jin Chi was so frightened that his face was livid, and he slipped away through the back door under the escort of several young monks.

In fact, Sun Wukong had discovered him a long time ago, but Zhou Yu had told him to let Elder Jinchi leave.

It's not to spare his life, but to attract a monster.

Sure enough, Elder Jin Chi stumbled all the way, and finally arrived at the Batu Cave on Heifeng Mountain at dawn.

In this cave, there is a demon named bear monster, which is a black bear spirit.

To say that this black bear spirit is also a strange thing, other monsters occupy the mountains as kings and only know how to eat, drink and play, but the black bear spirit likes to dance, talk and talk, and often discuss Zen with Elder Jinchi.

In addition, this black bear spirit also made a friend who likes alchemy, and that friend gave a lot of pills to the black bear spirit.

The black bear essence gave a few more to Elder Jinchi, and because of this, Elder Jinchi could live to be 270 years old.

Although the name of Heifeng Mountain does not sound very good, its scenery is wonderful.

There is a poem that says: Thousands of ravines compete for flow, and thousands of cliffs compete for beauty.Birds sing and people disappear, but flowers fall and trees still smell fragrant.After the rain, the sky is even green and the walls are moist, and the wind comes to loosen the green screen.The grass grows, the wild flowers bloom, and the cliffs are steep;If you don't meet a secluded person, then look for a woodcutter.The double cranes drink by the stream, and the wild apes are crazy on the stone.The towering heaps of snails are dark in color, and the towering embraces the green and makes the haze light.

There are streams in this mountain country, and there are springs in the streams, and the gurgling water swallows the harp.There are deer on the cliffs, cranes in the forest, and the sounds of immortals moving between the cens.

The black bear spirit occupies this mountain as the king, but it is also at ease.

In fact, Zhou Yu also admired this black bear spirit. It is not an exaggeration to say that this black bear spirit is the most elegant person among monsters.

She has nothing to do but reads and writes, recites poems and composes Fu, which is quite romantic...Of course, it's just that she looks a little ugly.

It doesn't matter, monster, it can change.

Originally, Zhou Yu was still thinking about whether he should enlighten this black bear spirit at first.

But after weighing it up, I finally gave up.

Because he knew that this black bear spirit had already entered Guanyin's eyes, and wanted to tame it and bring it back to the South China Sea to become the great god of the mountain.

After all, there are not many demons as talented as the black bear spirit.

And this time Tang Seng's disaster, besides the fire disaster, the black bear spirit should also have another disaster.

As soon as Elder Jin Chi arrived at the Black Wind Cave, the goblin in the cave rushed to report, and the black bear spirit came out to welcome Elder Jin Chi into the cave in person.

"Elder, what happened in the temple?"

"Oh, forget about it..."

Elder Jinchi sighed, and then added fuel and jealousy to speak ill of Tang Seng and others.

"I hate that Monk from the Great Tang Dynasty, because he came from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, he ridiculed the monks in my courtyard in every possible way, saying that we have no experience.

He also said that this elder, sitting in a well and looking at the sky, lived in vain for more than 200 years, and he was nothing but a rotten tree..."

Hearing this, the black bear spirit couldn't help being furious: "There is such a thing?"

"That's not all... Later, the Tang monk took out another cassock to show off, saying it was a precious cassock.

However, it is indeed a treasure, once you take it out, it will shine brightly, I have never seen such a beautiful cassock in my life..."

"Oh?"

Hearing that Elder Jinchi praised that cassock so much, the black bear spirit couldn't help being moved.

In fact, this is Elder Jinchi's poisonous plan.

He knew in his heart that he would not be able to get that cassock, so he might as well be a favor and give it to the black bear spirit, so that the black bear spirit could avenge him.

"At that time, the old monk wanted to learn a lot, and asked them to borrow it to observe it. In the end, they didn't give it up, and they mocked the old monk in every possible way.

The old monk couldn't get angry, so he said a few words.

As a result, the other party held a grudge, and at night, they burned down the temple with a fire, and then walked away..."

"Damn it! Elder, wait here and watch me go and deal with them!"

The black bear spirit is also a show of loyalty, so he went out of the Black Wind Cave and rode a black cloud to search for Tang Seng and the other three.

In fact, Zhou Yu and the others did not leave the monastery at this time.

Although the temple burned down, the main hall is still there.No matter what Monkey King is, it is impossible to set fire to the statue of Guanyin.

It's not fear, but a kind of respect.

He called Jade Emperor old man, Tathagata old man, but every time he saw Avalokitesvara, even if he had a playful smile on his face, he still called him Shangsheng Bodhisattva.

Several monks in the temple were burned to death, and all the rest were gathered together.

At the same time, Zhou Yu asked the monk to inform some nearby villagers to come to the temple to avenge their grievances and revenge.

The news spread all of a sudden, and many nearby villagers became a sensation, and many came one after another.

But at this time, the monks in the temple lost their prestige, kneeling one by one in the messy ruins...

Suddenly, a black wind swept over.

The faces of the people changed in shock.

"Monster, my grandson has been waiting for you for a long time."

Seeing the black clouds approaching, Monkey King immediately soared into the sky, waving the golden cudgel to meet them.

At this moment, all the people couldn't help but get excited.

Since Sun Wukong called the other party a monster, then he must not be a fairy, but a god.

So all the people knelt down and kowtowed.

"Boom boom boom..."

In the sky, there was a fierce fighting sound.

Although the black bear spirit has brute strength and has learned a lot of spells, he still can't defeat Monkey King. Taking advantage of Monkey King's inattention, he even uses the golden cicada to escape its shell, and sneaks around the temple.

A gust of black wind blew, and Tang Seng was swept up and flew towards Heifeng Mountain.

"Wukong, help!"

In the sky, Tang Seng's cry for help could be heard faintly.

In fact, with Zhou Yu around, it stands to reason that it is impossible for the black bear spirit to sweep Tang Seng away.

Zhou Yu did it on purpose, he didn't make a move at all, and deliberately stayed away from Tang Seng...

After all, this was a difficult situation for Tang Seng, and there was no need for him to intervene forcefully.

"Master!"

Monkey King roared in the sky, and then chased after him.

Zhou Yu stayed in the temple to help those common people seek justice.

More and more people came to the temple, and the movement became louder and louder.

These people have been oppressed for too long, and now they have finally found an opportunity to seek justice, so naturally they cannot miss this opportunity.

There were even some impulsively wanting to burn down the hall.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu dissuaded him.

"Don't be impatient, everyone, in fact, you can't anger all the monks because of this.

Seriously speaking, the monks in this temple are not monks at all, they are just bluffing and cheating under the banner of monks, in Yurou Township..."

Afterwards, the government also came, and began to register on the spot the various evil deeds of these fake monks, as well as the fields and other things that were forcibly occupied by the people.

Taking a free moment, the little monk found Zhou Yu and bowed politely.

"Shangxian, I still plan to stay. Just now, the villagers said that the temple will be rebuilt.

They can't let their faith collapse because of these scum.So, I decided to stay in the temple.

In the future, things like the past should never happen again..."

At this moment, an auspicious cloud suddenly flew in the sky.

"Master Guanyin!"

"The Bodhisattva is here..."

A crowd of people became a sensation and knelt down to pay respects.

Zhou Yu also stepped forward, bowed his hands and said, "I've seen Master Guanyin."

"You don't need to be too polite, fairy friends!"

Guanyin smiled and raised his hand.

Then, he glanced at the villagers kneeling on the ground, as well as those fake monks, and sighed.

"This seat is inconsiderate, so that these foolish people have defiled the pure place of Buddhism..."

Upon hearing this, those fake monks kowtowed in fright.

However, although Avalokitesvara has always been compassionate, compassion also has a limit.

This temple is Guanyin Temple, and the actions of these fake monks have seriously damaged her prestige.

Moreover, he even wanted to set fire to the sutra learners and snatch the Jinlan cassock that the Tathagata had bestowed on Tang Seng, which is simply audacious.

Kill, she will not kill, after all, she is a Bodhisattva.

But these villains can be punished in other ways.

As a result, as soon as he raised his hand, all the fake monks kneeling on the ground disappeared, and turned into beasts one by one...

This is undoubtedly a summary and portrayal of the life of this group of people.
