Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 10 The Living Sacrifice
[Save a villain and gain some merit]

[Save a villain and gain some merit]

Two more points of merit have arrived, and this brings us one step closer to the completion of the Vajra Dharma Body.

Xu Zisu smiled slightly.

Then he looked back at Feng Yue Tower and saw that the people on the ground were just unconscious. Although Buddhism also had Angry Eyes King Kong, it was not a reason to kill indiscriminately, so they were spared their lives.

Once the three brothers of the Cheng family died, the Plum Blossom Gang was disbanded, and then it was up to County Magistrate Huang to show his performance as a parent.

The next day,

I went back to the inn to pick up the package, paid the room fee, and left Yonghuai County.

As for the rent, it was naturally taken from two pilgrims.

After all, people have already gone to the Western Paradise, and it is useless to have these external things.

In the early morning, Magistrate Huang was pulled out of Wenrou Township.

Another murder case, and two people died, this is a top priority.

Damn it, if I had known something would happen, wouldn't these gangsters know how to betray people now?

There was a hint of suppressed anger in his eyes, and the Plum Blossom Gang completely ignored him this time.

He frowned and asked, "Who died?"

The master on the side replied slightly excitedly: "Cheng Long and Cheng Hu."

Huang Yuandao's steps stagnated and his eyes widened: "Who?"

"Master, it's the Cheng family brothers, they are all dead."

"Hahaha, God is really eye-opening."

The anger just now was swept away, and he looked up to the sky and laughed. The huge stone pressing in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant.

"Do you know who did it?"

"I heard from people that a young monk went to Fengyue Tower last night."

Little monk?
Huang Yuandao was stunned for a moment, and immediately recalled that Xiu Wen had mentioned it yesterday.

Little Master Pudu from Jinshan Temple?

If my son had a little master, I wouldn't have to worry so much.

"Releasing the news, let's say that this matter was done by Jianghu knights."

"Yes, sir."

"Sir, what should we do with the bodies of the Cheng brothers?"

"Do you still have to ask? Chop it into pieces and feed it to the dog."

Listening to Huang Yuandao's cold and stern voice, the master smiled awkwardly, but did not say anything.

Both public and private, there is no legal way to measure justice.

After a long time, Huang Yuandao muttered: "The corpse has been hanging in the city for three days. By the way, news has spread that the Plum Blossom Gang has been disbanded. If there are any remaining evildoers, I will kill them without mercy."

The purpose of hanging corpses in the city is to establish authority and kill chickens to scare monkeys.

Presumably after this incident, the Plum Blossom Gang will become a thing of the past.

Even if someone wants to jump out, they must consider the consequences for the three brothers of the Cheng family.

"Is there any news about little master Pudu?"

"Master, I left the city this morning."

A flash of regret flashed across Huang Yuandao's face, but he hadn't gone up the mountain to fulfill his wish for a long time. It looked like he would go up the mountain again in a while.

These are funeral affairs, so there is no need to talk about them.

After Xu Zisu left Yonghuai County, he went all the way north.

This time when he went down the mountain, in addition to traveling and practicing, the abbot also gave him a letter, which needed to be sent to Tianluo Temple in Songjian Prefecture.

Songjian Mansion is more than a thousand miles away from Yonghuai County. Although his journey is not slow, it will still take several days.

These days are just a good time to see this world.

There are many pedestrians and traveling businessmen on the official road, so there is no need to worry about being too boring.

"Little monk, if you leave the temple alone, can your master feel relieved?"

"Donor, the young monk's master came down the mountain in one step before the young monk, so the young monk's master doesn't know that the young monk has already come down the mountain at this moment."

"Hahaha, you master and apprentice are both wonderful people."

Xu Zisu smiled slightly.

"Little master, which temple do you come from? Tell me, maybe I can go and fulfill your wish later."

"The young monk has settled in Jinshan Temple since he was a child." "Although we have never been to Jinshan Temple in Yonghuai County, we have heard of its name."

···
Most of the foot traders were on their way, and after resting and chatting for a while, they hurriedly hit the road.

The sun is still hot, and it falls on people as if they are on a steamer. Even so, most people still choose to stay on the flat official road instead of entering the tree-lined path rashly. After all, no one knows what they will encounter next. To what danger.

If you encounter wild beasts, it's okay, but if you encounter thieves or demons and lose your life for nothing, it's not worth it.

near noon,

The sun is getting hotter and hotter,
After walking for a short time, I finally saw a pergola from a distance. Most people like this pergola are used to rest and sell water to make a living.

Even though they are far away, many travelers and merchants have been seen resting here.

As soon as he got closer, a voice came over.

"Little monk."

"Amitabha."

"donor."

Xu Zisu looked over and nodded with a smile.

It was the druggist who had just chatted with him when he was taking a break.

"Shopkeeper, is there any water?"

"Wait a moment, little master, there is still plenty of water."

Xu Zisu glanced around and saw that the seats were already gone, and some people were even sitting on the ground. He found a slightly shady corner and sat down cross-legged.

"This weather is really weird."

"Who says it isn't? It hasn't rained for a full month."

"Did you offend the Dragon King?"

"I heard that there will be a prayer for rain in Jingshui soon. I don't know if it is true or not?"

"It's true. When I came out, the county government was already making preparations. We just waited for a good and auspicious day to be chosen before we started praying for rain."

"Can you really ask for rain?"

Someone asked in surprise.

Asking for rain is mostly a kind of comfort. If the request comes, it means that the request for rain will be answered. If the request does not come, it means that the heart is not sincere. The Dragon Prince is not at home. Anyway, what the villagers ask for is just a comfort.

In fact, most people have a clear mind about this.

"If we talk about other places, we may not know it, but in Jingshui, if you ask for rain, it will rain."

Ask for rain?

When everyone heard the words, they had different expressions, including disbelief, disdain, and even more surprise...
"Of course, there is just a premise."

"what?"

Everyone looked over suspiciously.

"Sacrifice."

Sacrifice?

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and a trace of doubt appeared on their faces. It seemed that there was no difference.

This is simply because whenever there is a prayer for rain or other major events to the gods, sacrifices will be prepared, and the sacrifices are nothing more than three animals and six animals.

"Brother, is this sacrifice different?"

Immediately, someone seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

Everyone also looked at the man who spoke.

The man nodded with twinkling eyes, and then a hint of unbearability appeared on his face.

"The sacrifices required for the Jingshui sacrifice are real people, boys and girls."

"what!"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly exclaimed that such a thing could happen.

"Sacrifice a real person, doesn't this violate conscience and destroy humanity?"

"If the great scholars in our dynasty know about it, they will definitely look good on it."

"This matter is indeed harmful to Tianhe."

···
Xu Zisu, who was sitting next to him, also frowned and opened his eyes.

Live sacrifice?

Unexpectedly, this story that I had only seen in books in my previous life actually happened in front of me.
