Chapter 25 Lu Zhishen's Trouble
"So you were kicked out of the monastery?"

Sun Lei listened to Lu Zhishen's words, there was a big commotion in the town at the foot of the mountain, the mountain gate was smashed up the mountain, and the Vajra statue was smashed. The monks in the temple probably escaped a severe beating except for the elder Zhizhen. Even if the elder liked Lu Zhishen, he couldn't keep him anymore.

"Hey, the elder said that the Sa family had a catastrophe, and Wenshu Monastery can't stay anymore, but Zen Master Zhiqing, the abbot of the Daxiangguo Temple in Tokyo, is the younger brother of Elder Zhizhen, and Elder Zhizhen recommended me to go there to find an errand."

"I thought of my brother when I got off the mountain in Sajia. I found out that my brother has gone south, so I hurried to chase my brother, but I didn't want you to go far, my brother, but I went to the front when I set off later!"

Lu Zhishen laughed loudly and took Sun Lei's hand, finally catching up to Sun Lei.

Sun Lei shook his head a little funny, this fate is really amazing, he walked slowly all the way, and stayed in Zhending Mansion for a long time, unexpectedly, he happened to meet Lu Zhishen who caused trouble, and this guy followed his The route is going.

It was impossible for Lu Zhishen to go to find that Zhao Yuanwai, Lu Zhishen only had friendship with this person, not a deep friendship, and Zhao Yuanwai's helping him become a monk was just to repay Jin Cuilian's kindness.

Sun Lei once asked Lu Zhishen a lot of truth when he was drinking too much, among them were the underappreciated talents in the old Zhongjinglue Mansion, and the useless people in the Xiaozhong Jinglue Mansion.

Although Lu Zhishen usually likes to brag that he is an old-fashioned businessman who has become the Kansai Five-Route Clean Visiting Envoy, but in fact he is just a promoted official. Road officials, this kind of position is either shrewd and capable, or treacherous and cunning, no matter which one is not suitable for a vulgar and reckless man like Lu Zhishen.

Because Lu Zhishen was good at martial arts, he was transferred to Xiaozhong's Jinglue Mansion to Weizhou to act as a face. As a result, Xiaozhong's Jinglue Mansion was different from the old Zhong Jinglue's. Lu Zhishen was not well received by Shangguan in Weizhou.

Later, at the wine shop, I heard that Jin Cuilian was cheated by Zheng Tu and lost her body, and she wanted to sell and sing to pay off her debts. The miserable experience made Lu Zhishen furious, and let Jin Cuilian and the old man go. He wanted to teach Zheng Tu a lesson. After he died, he was involved in a life lawsuit and became a fugitive.

However, I heard from Lu Zhishen that he had been dissatisfied with Zheng Tu for a long time, thinking that he is proficient in martial arts, and everyone in Kansai knows that he dared not call himself the town of Guanxi. It is simply unbelievable that Zheng Tu, a bully butcher, dared to call himself the town of Kansai. Putting him in the eye is even more insulting to the word Zhenguanxi.

Sun Lei was very interested when he heard this, which he didn't know before.But this was all after drinking. Sun Lei didn't know if it was true or not. Anyway, according to Lu Zhishen's character of fighting against injustice, a bully like Zheng Tu would be beaten to death sooner or later.

"Didn't I tell you not to get drunk and make trouble!"

Before leaving Mount Wutai, Sun Lei had told Lu Zhishen not to always get drunk when drinking, as drunkenness was prone to accidents.Unexpectedly, Lu Zhishen didn't listen at all, and something happened not long after he left. If he had known this, it would be better to take Lu Zhishen down the mountain.

"Brother, it's all your fault. If you don't go to the house, there's someone who talks and practices martial arts and drinks with you. You're bored in the house. What can you do if you don't drink? You are also responsible for drinking and making trouble!"

Lu Zhishen held Sun Lei's hand tightly and was about to walk into the courtyard.

"The owner of this house is nice. He has prepared meals for Sa's family. Brother, let's have a good drink today!"

After speaking, he held Sun Lei's hand and was about to walk into the courtyard.

"Wait a minute, there are still people."

Sun Lei stabilized his feet, pulled out his hand, went to the door and helped the old woman off the donkey.

"Brother, is this old lady your grandmother?"

Lu Zhishen looked at the old woman strangely, touched his bald head and asked strangely, Sun Lei never said that he had relatives on this East Road when he was in Wutai Mountain, why did he suddenly have an old woman?
"Stop talking, it's hard to say, let's go in first and let the old man rest!"

Sun Lei didn't know where to start, so he could only help the old woman to rest. It had been many days, and the old woman was in a daze, and couldn't even remember her own name.

"Master, do you know this elder brother and old sister?"

At this moment, an old man leaning on a stick with an overhead dragon head came out from the inner courtyard with seven or eight nurses, looked at Lu Zhishen, Sun Lei, and the old woman and asked.

"Liu Taigong, this is my brother. I didn't expect to meet at the Taigong's mansion today. Isn't it fate?"

Lu Zhishen laughed and introduced to Taigong Liu.

"It turned out to be the master's friend. The farmer has collided with him. Please come into the inner hall quickly!"

After listening to Lu Zhishen's introduction, Liu Taigong quickly invited him.

"Mr. Liu? Isn't this Peach Blossom Village?"

Sun Lei remembered that Lu Zhishen's first stop when he left Wutai Mountain was to make a scene in Taohua Village. He didn't expect that he would also come to Taohua Village by mistake. Could it be that he will beat Xiaobawang tonight?

"This elder brother also knows about our Peach Blossom Village?"

Grandpa Liu was a little surprised. Their Peach Blossom Village is not that famous, and the place is remote. Outsiders don't know about this place.

"When I entered the village just now, I saw a blossoming peach grove outside, so I guessed it."

Sun Lei found a perfunctory excuse.

"My elder brother guessed right. This old village is called Peach Blossom Village. The peach blossoms are in full bloom in March and April every year, which is the only sight within a radius of tens of miles."

Liu Taigong nodded, and led everyone into the hall, where there were indeed some meals.

"Brother, let's have a good drink today!"

Lu Zhishen was an acquaintance, he greeted Sun Lei and the old lady to sit down, took the flagon and poured a bowl of wine for Sun Lei, Lu Zhishen was very excited to see Sun Lei, chatted about the time while drinking and eating meat, The sound was loud enough to be heard outside the yard.

Sun Lei and the old woman drove for a day, and at noon they got angry with the stubborn donkey for a long time. He was also hungry, so he started eating while talking with Lu Zhishen.

The food on the table was for one person, and the three of them ate it after a few mouthfuls of food. Taigong Liu sighed and asked the servants in the village to serve another large table of food and wine.

"Liu Taigong, why bother to sigh, the Sajia will never eat you for free, so I will offer you the meal money."

Lu Zhishen saw Grandpa Liu sigh, thinking that the grandpa thought they had eaten too much, and stretched his hand into his bosom to pay for it.

"Master Lu said so, I don't think Taigong Liu is that stingy person, such a big house is also a huge piece of land, how can he care about such a small amount of food?"

Sun Lei put down the wine bowl with a smile and said.

"My elder brother said that although I dare not say that my family is rich, I still have a little land and house. I have always believed in the three treasures of Buddhism. I usually open the door to worship monks. I never refuse the passing guests. Today there is a lot of trouble. The two battles were also because there was something wrong in the village at night, and I was afraid that the lives of the master and elder brother would be killed."

Liu Taigong's face was bitter, and he seemed to have great grievances when he spoke. He usually does good deeds and is willing to do good deeds, but he did not expect to suffer disaster today.
