Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 57 "Breaking Precepts"

Although he didn't know the purpose for which Master Zhishan gave him the Infant Spirit Pill, Xu Zisu still accepted it.

After leaving the monastery, I went to the Foreign Affairs Hall and said goodbye to Master Zhiran before going down the mountain.

In the foot temple, a young monk was still shuttled among the pilgrims to greet and send him off, with a smile on his face and a worldly atmosphere on his body.

Seeing Xu Zisu watching from a distance, he saluted the pilgrims on the side and then walked over slowly.

"Amitabha,"

"Puyan has met senior brother."

The first time we met, he was still a junior brother. When he left, he turned out to be a senior brother.

"Senior Brother Puyan, has he realized it?"

"The mountain temples and foot temples are all Tianluo temples, and they are all places for pilgrims to fulfill their vows. In the eyes of the young monk, there is nothing wrong with it."

Xu Zisu's eyes lit up and he nodded with a smile: "Senior brother is kind and understanding."

"Senior brother, are you going to travel far?"

"Exactly."

"Little monk wishes senior brother a safe journey."

"Thank you, brother."

After exchanging pleasantries, Xu Zisu left the temple and stepped onto the official road.

The official road seems to be infinitely long, with no end in sight. Without the entrustment and restraints in this career, even he doesn't know where he wants to go, just like life is infinite and confused.

With the arrival of winter, even merchants will take a break to wait for next year, so they encounter few people along the way and are accompanied only by the breeze.

Call ~
The bone-chilling cold wind blew painfully on people's bodies.

There is a rustle in the mountains and fields,
After a few breaths, a sneer sounded.

"Hey, third brother, he is actually a monk."

"No matter who he is, we'll talk about it later after tying him up."

Several knife-wielding gangsters ran out from the official road and looked at Xu Zisu with a ferocious smile.

"Little monk, come with me."

"Amitabha, I wonder where the donors are taking this young monk?"

"Why are you so verbose? I'm tied up."

"This damn weather is getting colder and colder."

A big man came over, tied Xu Zisu's hands, and then put a black hood on his head.

"Third brother, let's go back to the mountain quickly. If it's dark, it might not be safe."

"What are you so afraid of? Looking at how timid and cowardly you are, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat four dishes for the rest of your life."

Although he spoke harshly, his actions were still very practical. He shook the knife and shouted "Go back to the mountain".

He put a rope around Xu Zisu's bound wrists and walked towards the mountain.

There is a winding path in the mountain forest. Withered and yellow leaves are scattered all around the path. It is so winding that it leads to nowhere.

As the sky became darker, the pace of these bandits could not help but speed up a bit.

"Mother Xipi, why did it get dark so quickly? You didn't even remind me."

The skinny man next to me had a bitter look on his face, and thought to himself, I clearly reminded you before, but now you are blaming me.

However, I could only swallow my bitterness secretly and remain silent.

Unknown how far we walked, the moonlight rose, and finally we saw a village not far away, and we secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"finally arrived at home."

At this time, wolf howls came from the forest behind them, and the faces of several people changed slightly, with a hint of fear appearing.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead before walking towards the village.

At the end of the day,

"Open the door quickly."

The cottage is made of rocks. It doesn't look like much from a distance, but it looks very big up close, with dozens of houses. It is surrounded by mountains on two sides, close to a cliff on one side, and has only one path. It can be said that it is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

"Who called the door?"

"You're blind, please open the door for me."

"Three masters!"

After seeing the person coming, he hurriedly opened the village door.

"Third Master, you are back." "Well, close the door, don't let the jackals, tigers and leopards come in."

"Hey, this damn weather is getting colder and colder."

The big man put the knife on the shelf aside, rubbed Dongqing's hands, made some remarks, and walked straight into the house.

"Eh? Why is there a little monk?"

The bandit guarding the gate curiously took off Xu Zisu's hood and said doubtfully.

Hearing this, the big man who was about to enter the house hesitated, turned to look at Xu Zisu, and looked at the bandits beside him, his eyes full of shock.

In a hurry, I forgot about the little monk.

But the problem was that the journey was extremely fast. Their eyes were wide open and they couldn't help but fall several times.
The young monk followed him without saying a word.

this······

The big man walked over curiously, and saw that Xu Zisu's monk robe was still very clean, and he had obviously not fallen. There was a hint of curiosity on his face, and he looked at the village without any fear.

This kind of people either have means or are just scoundrels.

Does this person look like a Biaozi?
Obviously it doesn't look like it, then there are means.

He frowned and glanced at Xu Zisu, then a smile appeared on his face.

"Hurry up and untie the little master."

"Haha, wait a minute, little master. It's freezing cold. It's better to go inside to avoid the cold."

"Thank you sir."

The bandit on the side was full of doubts. Wasn't he kidnapped and brought up the mountain?

Why did he become a guest instead?

Welcoming Xu Zisu into the house, he saw two people sitting in the house, a middle-aged man and a middle-aged scholar wearing a Confucian robe.

When the two of them stepped into the house, two eyes looked over. After seeing the little monk behind the big man, they couldn't help but frown.

"Eldest brother, second brother, this little master was invited up the mountain by someone."

The big man smiled playfully at the two of them, and pulled Xu Zisu to sit down at the table.

The two looked at each other and understood instantly.

In Qingfeng Village, most of the people are kidnapped and there is no reason to invite people to go up the mountain.

There is a high probability that this young monk has some abilities.

The man in the first place glanced at the scholar, who stood up with a smile.

"It turns out to be a young master, please take a seat."

As he spoke, he looked at the food on the table awkwardly. It was all meat and wine, and there was no vegetarian food at all.

"Little master, please wait a moment. I'll ask someone to bring you some vegetarian food."

"It doesn't matter, the monk is not picky about food."

After saying that, he sat down directly and took in a breath of meat, a long-lost smell.

Then, under the strange looks of the three people, they tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth.

As soon as the chicken legs entered my mouth, the long-awaited meat flavor filled my taste buds, and a touch of enjoyment appeared on my face, and then I started to devour it.

The three of them just stared blankly,

After having enough water and food, Xu Zisu wiped his mouth and saluted the three of them.

"Thank you to the three benefactors for your warm hospitality."

"Cough cough cough."

The middle-aged scholar coughed dryly, and then asked doubtfully: "Little Master, don't you, a Buddhist, avoid eating meat?"

"Amitabha."

"In Buddhism, we also have a saying of eating three pure meats."

The scholar wondered: "What are the three pure meats?"

"Not killed by me, killed not seen, killed not for me, these are the three pure meats."

"That's the case, but I am ignorant and ignorant." The scholar smiled slightly: "The young master has eaten well. If he eats well, I will send someone to take the young master to rest."

"Okay, you guys should take a rest early."

After Xu Zisu left, the big man in the first place frowned and looked at the big man who led him up the mountain.
