Immortal, I only practice forbidden arts

Chapter 11 What is Buddha

The dirt road in the distance was flying with smoke and dust, slowly approaching the Hongyun River.

There was a sudden commotion by the river.

"It's finally here. According to legend, Miss Wang is as beautiful as a fairy, and I can finally see it today..."

"It seems that there are quite a few people here. Could it be that they are all here to release them? How are they going to be released?" An old man stared at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, wondering.

The person next to him suddenly laughed and said, "Old man Zhang, you have lived for most of your life, and you have never even seen life released?"

"As long as you can, have you seen it?" Old man Zhang blushed, dissatisfied.

The others also hurriedly looked over and listened with their ears open. If anyone could come to watch the excitement, who would have seen the world better than anyone else?

Some old men and peasant women didn't even know about releasing animals. They only heard that there were big fish in the river today, and they came to catch them with sticks.

"Hey, I really know!" The man enjoyed the feeling of all the attention, and said proudly: "Last year I was building a house for a rich family in Fucheng, and I happened to see it by the Zuijin River in the city. "

"Speak quickly!" the crowd urged.

"For the release of life, first set up a wooden table and cover it with a red cloth, prepare water and branches, and then make a Bodhisattva statue on the table..."

"What kind of wooden table and red cloth, you think it's an incense table!" Someone beside him couldn't help but said.

"Are you still listening?" The person who was speaking showed displeasure, and when the surroundings quieted down, he continued:

"Everything is ready, and then ask the big bald man to sing scriptures, burn incense and worship Buddha, sprinkle water on the fish with branches, and then circle around the fish a few times to ring the bell... Anyway, in the end, the fish is thrown into the river."

"Aren't the fish kept in the water? Sprinkle water? This is not taking off your pants and farting..." Old man Zhang was puzzled.

"What do you know about rich and noble people, don't inquire about it..."

A group of unkempt guys were noisy, and the carriage in the distance was already clearly visible.

There were three carriages in total, followed by several bullock carts pulling large wooden barrels, which should be filled with released fish.

"Hey, there must be hundreds of these, it's not in vain!" Several peasant women grinned, their sleeves rolled up.

Others also had green eyes, and they hadn't eaten a few taels of meat on weekdays, so they must catch a few more today.

Standing beside Jiang Ming, Ah Fei was also very excited.

"This Wang family is quite rich!" Jiang Ming sighed, and ordinary families might not be able to afford such a situation.

A Fei stared at the ox carts, and enviously said: "No, besides the official family, this Dayun Mansion probably belongs to the Wang family. The ancestors have been officials from the capital."

"No wonder..." Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows.

The next process is the same as that person said just now, setting up incense tables, singing incense praises, offering incense to Buddha...

It's just that many people got on and off the carriage, including servants and a slick monk, but they never saw the so-called Miss Wang.

It wasn't until the last step of releasing the fish that a slim figure got out of the carriage, lightly took a fish, threw it into the river, and then turned back into the carriage.

The brief appearance also aroused the cheers of the small people who watched the excitement.

"Tsk tsk, this figure, this beauty... I don't know how taller she is than that girl Xue'er!" Ah Fei's eyes lit up.

"Have you ever seen Miss Xue'er, she's just talking nonsense here with her eyes open." Jiang Ming looked at A Fei speechlessly.

"I don't care, the one who brings me fish is the best..."

"Stop talking, go down the river!" Ah Fei held up the fishing net and plunged into the river.

After Miss Wang released the fish, the servants also started to push buckets of big fish to the river, and then dumped them down.

Big fish more than two feet long leaped into the river, turning up large waves.

"There are really fish, catch them quickly!"

puff~
puff~
The poor people in Ping'an Town were already jealous, and immediately ran wildly, jumping into the river like dumpling, at a shallow water beach downstream, ready to intercept these big fish.

Jiang Ming also jumped into the river beach early, but he took nothing but a long rope.

"Amin, you can't prepare this way, the big fish is not slippery, you have to bring a stick anyway..."

Jiang Ming turned his head and saw that it was Lao Jiangtou from the tavern, holding a harpoon in his hand, ready to strike at any time.

Hearing this, Jiang Ming chuckled: "Master Jiang, let's compete to see who catches more, and the loser will give each other another fish."

"Hmph, little guy, I'm afraid you have nothing to lose...Hey, here comes the fish!" Old Jiang lost his temper, and rushed forward with a harpoon in his hand.

"I'll pierce it!" Old Jiangtou waved the harpoon, and within a few strokes he pricked one and tied it with a rope.

"My prestige is still the same as before..." Lao Jiang said proudly, turning his head to make a wave at Jiang Mingming.

But when he turned around, he froze on the spot.

"Fuck... Are you collecting herbs or fishing?"

Not far away, Jiang Ming had a rope wrapped around his arm, and the other end of the rope was thrown into the water. Three fat fish had already been tied up and were still struggling to swim.

The one that was stabbed to death... and the three that were alive and kicking, which one is stronger and weaker, is already a judgment call.

"Master Jiang, is he going to admit defeat in advance?" Jiang Ming said with a smile, "Huh? Another one!"

Under the stunned gaze of Old Jiangtou, Jiang Ming leaned forward suddenly, and then grabbed it into the water, so fast that Old Jiangtou couldn't see clearly.

bang~
Splashes of water!

The next moment, Jiang Ming stood up, grasping a big fish between his hands, he untied the rope from his arm, passed it through the gills and mouth of the fish, and tied it again.

"As long as you move fast, no fish can escape." Jiang Ming winked at Lao Jiangtou.

With his physical fitness, what equipment is needed to catch a fish, and he is done.

"You..." Old Jiangtou said angrily, "You are too unskilled and rude."

"Master Jiang said a few more words, and all the fish would have slipped away!" Jiang Ming said with a smile, "Don't forget to give me another one."

Old Jiang's angry beard trembled wildly, and he turned around quickly and continued to look for fish...

"Benefactors, don't catch them, don't catch them all!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from the shore.

The people in the river turned a deaf ear and continued to catch fish.

Jiang Ming took a glance, and saw that the monks who performed the life-releasing ceremony for Miss Wang just now were standing by the river, yelling anxiously.

"Fat bald donkey, why are we hindering you by catching fish?" Ah Fei was unaffected by the bird's anger, and immediately choked back.

"That is, I can't catch the fish you don't want?"

"Keep grabbing, leave him alone..." There was a burst of echo from all around.

The headed monk stood out with a chubby belly, and said sadly:

"Fish are also living beings. Miss Wang is merciful, she does good deeds and releases lives to pray for the common people, but you kill like this... don't you have any kindness in your heart?"

"I'm happy, I'm willing, it's none of your business!" a man shouted immediately.

The fat on the monk's face trembled with anger: "You are happy and happy, but what about these fish, do they deserve it?"

"Damn it... ji ji wai wai!" Ah Fei said angrily, "The monk who came to beg for alms last time also said that the one who can make people feel happy is the Buddha."

"Now that I'm so happy, you just want to stop me, you say... Are you a family member with the Buddha? You can't be a fake monk, right?"

"I, I, I...you!" The fat monk's seven orifices were smoking, no matter how advanced the Dharma, it would be impossible to meet this group of unscrupulous people.

"Hey, I'm speechless, it's really a fake!" Ah Fei's eyebrows were beaming, and suddenly he felt that his Buddha nature was soaring at this time, and he couldn't care less about catching fish, so he shouted:
"What the hell is a Buddha? I think these fat fish are Buddhas. They can make Miss Wang happy, and they can make us happy too. We can eat fish and be happier than her!"
