Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 3 Going Down the Mountain
Spring and autumn come,

The peach blossoms on Xihua Mountain bloomed three times,
Now, Xu Zisu is eighteen years old, which could be considered an adult in his previous life.

Jinshan Temple has not changed much, except that the incense has faded a little, and the reason is because Emperor Jing died, the princes seized the throne, the court was in turmoil, and the people's lives were miserable.

If a person cannot even afford to eat, then he will only make a living instead of coming to worship the dead things written by gold and stone.

During these three years,
He went down the mountain and performed countless rituals. Apart from his merits, his cultivation level has now reached the innate level, and his Vajra Dharma Body is only one step away from attainment.

The current chaos in the world is the best time for him to save all sentient beings.

The next day,

The sky has just dawned,
Morning classes haven't started yet.
Xu Zisu knocked on the door of a Zen room,

"Disciple Pudu seeks to see the Master."

The meditation room was as quiet as ever,
Xu Zisu spoke again,
However, it is still the case.

With a puzzled expression, he pushed open the door of the Zen room and saw no one else in the Zen room. There was only a written letter on the long desk.

Curiously, I picked up the message and looked at it.
After a while, his expression couldn't help but become weird,

The old monk actually sneaked down the mountain one step ahead of him.

He shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked towards the host's meditation room.

the sun rises,

A young monk with red lips and white teeth walked down the mountain path holding an alms bowl.

This alms bowl was given by the abbot to beg for food. As a monk, you can't even have someone to eat.

Of course, in addition to begging for food, this alms bowl is also a powerful Buddhist magical weapon, and it is also a first-rate weapon for subduing demons.

He had walked this mountain road countless times, but he had never been as happy as he was today.

The breeze blows slowly, and the little monk aims at the world.

······
The county closest to Xihua Mountain is called Yonghuai County. Yonghuai County belongs to Songjian Prefecture and is not ranked high among the eight counties in Songjian.

at noon,

The sun is high,

A young monk holding an alms bowl walked into Yonghuai County.
Looking at the bustling county road, the young monk seemed to have never seen it before, his eyes full of curiosity.

And the little monk's ignorant and innocent appearance also fell into the eyes of those who were interested.

Especially the alms bowl held in the hand can be sold for a good price at a glance.

Of course, this is something for later, let’s not mention it for now.

Good luck to the inn,
Xu Zisu stopped in front of an inn, looked up at the plaque, and there were five large characters written on the gilded plaque.Then he stretched out his head and looked into the inn, only a few diners were eating in the lobby.

Looking at the opposite side, there are endless sounds of eating, drinking, and talking, which can be described as very lively.

Hongyun Restaurant is a good name.

"Little master, do you want to work as a prostitute or stay in a hotel?"

While Xu Zisu was stunned, a boy ran out of the inn and asked.

"Little monk eats."

"Little master, please come in quickly."

The waiter welcomed him into the inner hall with a smile on his face.

"Amitabha, there are only a few diners in the donor's shop. I guess the taste is not good, so I'd better go to the opposite side to eat."

As he spoke, he ignored the boy's surprise and walked towards the restaurant opposite.

By the time the boy came to his senses, Xu Zisu had almost reached the opposite door.

"Hey, little master, you..."

Just as the boy was about to say something, he was glared fiercely by the strong man opposite him, and then ran into the inn in fear.

"Little master, please come inside."

When Xu Zisu approached, the big man's expression instantly changed and he welcomed him in with a respectful smile.

After stepping into the threshold, an inappropriate sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

An unfamiliar face, yet another fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The environment, food, and service are all top-notch.
No wonder the business of this restaurant is so good.

After having enough wine and food, Xu Zisu waved to the boy in front of the counter.

"Waiter, check out." Before going down the mountain, he made a special trip to the Main Hall and took five taels of silver from the merit box, thinking that the presiding uncle would not be able to find it.

The host who was giving a lecture in Xihua Mountain sneezed inexplicably.

"Sir, I would like to give you 100 taels of silver."

Xu Zisu, who was about to take out the money from the monk's robe, was stunned when he heard this.

"How many?"

"Little master, 100 taels of silver."

"Are you a black shop?"

"Little master, don't talk nonsense. The small shop is open for business during the daytime. Why come from a black shop?"

"Then tell me, little monk, how did I spend these 100 taels of silver?"

"Young master, this dish is indeed one tael of silver, but this drink? 99 taels."

Xu Zisu couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Is your water gold water or silver water?Is it so valuable?

Good guy, you dare to extort money in broad daylight. You don’t need to think about it to know that there is a back-up.

Lord Buddha is so rebellious that he really has a fight with you.

"Amitabha,"

"Donor, this young monk has no money, and I won't give him his life."

"So, do you monk want to eat Bawang's meal? Hehe, you are the second one who dares to come to my Fortune Restaurant to eat Bawang's meal in Yonghuai County."

The boy smiled coldly, clapped his hands, and several big men came out of the back hall. They were all big and round, with fierce looks on their faces. They held kitchen knives in their hands and looked at him eagerly.

"Little monk, I will give you one last chance. Is it for money? Or for your life?"

"Amitabha,"

"Donor, even if you give this young monk ten chances, he still won't be able to get the money."

"In that case, drag the backyard."

The boy smiled coldly.

After hearing this, several big men grabbed Xu Zisu and dragged him towards the backyard.

Facing this scene, everyone in the restaurant chose to ignore it, lowering their heads and doing what they were supposed to do.

No other reason, just because this restaurant is the property of the Plum Blossom Gang.

The Plum Blossom Gang has a lot of hands and eyes in Yonghuai County, and they have countless thugs. They don't even care about wealthy gentry.

Although the people are angry and resentful, there is nothing they can do about it.

You can only let it go.

backyard,

Several big men lifted him up and tied him directly to a pillar.

"Haha, you dare to come to my Hongyun Restaurant to have a king's meal. You are really brave, little monk. Please stay here quietly and reflect."

Several big men sneered and ridiculed.

Faced with all this, Xu Zisu just laughed it off without any rebuttal.

After 18 years of self-cultivation and reciting Buddhist scriptures, my state of mind has already been extraordinary. How can these ruffians be able to shake it?

"Little monk."

Ok?
Xu Zisu looked towards where the sound came from and saw a large water tank not far away. The tank was filled with water, revealing a white-faced human head.

"The donor is calling the monk?"

"There are only two of us here. Who else should I call you if I'm not calling you?"

"Too."

"Little monk, how did you offend them and get arrested?"

"The young monk just had a meal, and the benefactor asked for 100 taels of silver. How could the young monk get it? Then he was tied up here as the benefactor saw."

"Oh, it's really painful. If you fall into the hands of these villains, you don't know what will happen. God has no eyes."
