Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 414 Gambling
Zhang Miao has been living like this for many years. In his memory, he has lived in rich clothing and food since he was a child. He always gets what he asks for, and no matter what he wants, he can be satisfied quickly.

In his memory, when he was a child, he wanted the moon in the sky. This wish made everyone in his family worried. At that time, Zhang Miao also committed a crime. If you didn't give it to him, he would cry.

Finally one day, several monks came to the village. These monks listened to Zhang Miao's request and readily agreed.

They said: "Master Zhang wants the moon in the sky. This is not impossible. But if we fulfill Master Zhang's wish, will Master Zhang be willing to practice with us?"

Zhang Miao was young at the time, so he agreed without even thinking about it.

That night, several monks sat around Zhang Miao and began to chant.

Suddenly, a gust of wind came. The wind was so strong that it filled the sky with sand and smoke. At this time, the sky suddenly darkened and the moon seemed to disappear. And a great monk suddenly shouted: "Reach for the stars and the moon!"

After he shouted this sentence, he raised his hand towards the sky. Suddenly, light emitted from his palm, and a small glowing ball was caught in his hand.

"Wow!" Young Zhang Miao shouted immediately when she saw this scene.

The great monk handed the ball in his hand to Zhang Miao and said, "Look, this is the moon. I picked it off for you."

"Is this the real moon?" Zhang Miao grabbed the little ball and played with it happily. The ball was cold and felt like ice cubes.

The great monk did not answer directly, but looked at Zhang Miao with a smile and said, "Since I have fulfilled the young master's wish, the young master should practice with me..."

Before he finished speaking, a chuckle suddenly came from the night sky: "You guys are lying to people like this, is this really okay?"

After saying this, Zhang Miao suddenly heard a scream, and then the whole sky lit up and the moon appeared again. Looking at the moon in the sky and the 'moon' in his hand, Zhang Miao was stunned.

Then, several girls came in. They drove away the monks with a few words, and then stayed at Zhang Miao's home.

Since then, monks have often appeared near the manor. These monks would come to the manor to seek alms and find opportunities to talk to Zhang Miao. Some of them will make some gadgets to make Zhang Miao happy, and some will bring some delicacies to Zhang Miao. Some even climb over the wall and want to talk to Zhang Miao.

But most of these people will be stopped by Zhang Miao's maid.

The little Zhang Miao also knew that these monks had needs for him. But the maids were devoted to him and had no need at all.

The moon is above the treetops, and the shadows of the wind are passing by. Zhang Miao saw how Jiao Niang boiled water. She opened her mouth, and a ball of flame submerged into the water, and then the water began to boil, slowly becoming warmer.

This water is a pond behind the hut. The pond is not big and the water is crystal clear. After being heated by the girl, it turns into a hot spring, where you can take a bath.

And Jiao Niang really found some sisters. These sisters all wear heavy makeup, have proud figures, and fair skin. They were laughing and joking, and wanted to go to the hot spring with Zhang Miao in their arms.

But when he came to the water, Zhang Miao said with a righteous face: "What do you want to do?"

These girls looked surprised and said one after another: "Didn't you say that I wanted to take a hot spring bath with you?"

Zhang Miao immediately said: "Am I such a person?"

His awe-inspiring righteousness made all the women look at each other. Now they don't know what to do. Should they retreat or stay here?
At this time, Jiao Niang suddenly started crying. When she cried, she said: "My life... is so miserable!"

She cried loudly, and said while crying: "I was originally a young lady from a well-to-do family, and I lived a carefree life since I was a child. I was loved by my parents, and I lived a happy life. But later on, my parents gradually grew old and died one after another. When the two elders died, my brother didn’t want to support me so I could eat and drink freely, so he made plans to marry me off.”

"My poor brother is so obsessed with wealth that he married me to a widower for a rich betrothal gift. If so, that's fine. I will live a good life with my husband and children. But who would have thought that this widower borrowed a huge sum of money for that betrothal gift? money."

"Not long after I got married, someone came to collect debts every two days. My husband-in-law was also an idle man who gambled badly. He was either in the casino or on the way to the casino. After three days of marriage, I was stunned. There is no trace of him!"

"Later... later he lost a large sum of money again. This time, he also lost me! I was caught to pay off my debts and sold to a brothel. I was welcomed and sent to and from there every day, making fun of the prostitution."

"Master, do you know about days like this?"

She said sadly, and Zhang Miao couldn't help but feel pity. Such a life situation is so painful.

The girl cried for a while, and then continued: "After three years in the brothel, I gave up my thoughts. I just thought about this rest of my life and it was over. But, I met a man again. He said he would redeem me and marry me. Even though I didn’t have three letters and six appointments, and I didn’t have a big sedan chair, at least I had a good family to shelter from the wind and rain, and I was moved at that time.”

"But...but that person was a wolf-hearted person. He defrauded me of all my money and jewelry, and ran away with a widower! I paid so much for him, but in the end it was all in vain."

"I hate it!"

When Jiao Niang said this, she started crying again. When the sisters next to her heard this, they couldn't help but shed some tears, and they started crying while holding her in their arms.

Zhang Miao is a kind-hearted person. He murmured: "I didn't know you were so rough, nor did I know you were so strong."

After hearing Zhang Miao's words, the woman gradually stopped crying. She said to Zhang Miao: "Everyone has his or her own destiny, and I don't blame others. It's just that I think people like us should be able to have a future and hope."

At this point, she suddenly grabbed Zhang Miao's hand and said, "Master Zhang, you are a conscientious person. Can I get rid of you?"

Zhang Miao was stunned for a moment, then said: "If you have anything to do to get rid of me, I will definitely do whatever I can do."

Jiao Niang smiled sadly and said: "What can I do to get rid of you? I'm just asking for peace of mind and peace."

"A good man once told me my fate and said that I have been wandering around in my life and have a bad destiny. If a good man can read sutras and seek Dharma for me, he may be able to pray for me to be safe and have a good death. Therefore, I don't have too much. I just want the young master to recite the sutra for me." "Recite the sutra? That's no problem." Zhang Miao was still thinking about what it was, but it turned out to be just a small matter.

Hearing this, Jin Jiao Niang was very happy. She quickly said: "Since the young master is willing, let's recite sutras for me now without further ado."

After saying that, she pulled Zhang Miao into the hut, and there was a desk in the hut. There was a scroll spread out on the desk, which was the Ksitigarbha Sutra.

Zhang Miao was pushed to the desk, and Jiao Niang said: "This is the scripture. You only need to read it for me once, just once."

Seeing her anxious look, Zhang Miao also murmured in his heart. Is this kind of thing so impatient?

Just when Zhang Miao hesitated, Jiao Niang's expression changed. She first looked at Zhang Miao fiercely, and then quickly put away her evil face. He said half-coaxingly, half-cheatingly: "Young Master, aren't you still chanting sutras? What do you want me to do for you?"

Zhang Miao looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late now, and this scripture is also long. How about we take a rest early and read it again tomorrow morning?"

Hearing this, Jiao Niang felt anxious, but she couldn't show it. She could only continue to say miserably: "Today is tomorrow, and tomorrow is tomorrow, and there are so many tomorrows. I thought the young master was not an ordinary man, but you still Like those men who lied to me, do they always want to disappoint me?"

Her words made Zhang Miao wonder how he, Zhang Miao, could be one of those scumbags. So Zhang Miao cheered up and said, "Am I not that kind of person? Since the girl is so urgent, I can only stay up late and read at night."

After he finished speaking, he sat at the desk and began to read the scriptures. Having accomplished this, Jiao Niang was overjoyed. She secretly clenched her fists. This was already half the battle!

However, at this moment, an anxious voice suddenly sounded.

"Master! Don't be deceived by that woman, she lied to you!"

Zhang Miao was startled when he heard this voice, but the one who was even more surprised than him was Jiao Niang. Jiao Niang shouted in her heart: "How come they come so fast? I am covered by a big formation!"

Jiao Niang was frightened by the sound. She quickly grabbed Zhang Miao and said sternly: "Recite sutras for me!"

Zhang Miao originally wanted to recite sutras, but when he was treated so harshly by this woman, he immediately became unhappy and became stubborn. He shouted: "I want to read, but don't force me!"

If I don’t force you, I guess you won’t be able to recite the scriptures today! Jiao Niang was extremely anxious now. Her success was right in front of her. As long as Zhang Miao recited "Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra" once, Ksitigarbha Ksitigarbha would be able to conclude that Zhang Miao agreed with his way and chose his way. Then the credit falls on the girl!

Thinking of this, Jiao Niang was filled with hatred, and she immediately said: "Hurry up and recite the sutra! If you don't obey, I will kill you!"

Her threat made Zhang Miao give up her choice. But at this time, she suddenly heard a loud "bang", but it was the formation she had set up that was forcibly broken!

A dozen women leaped in with swords in their hands and frosty faces. The leader was Qingqing.

As soon as Qingqing jumped in, she immediately shouted to Jiao Niang: "You ghost bitch, how dare you violate the rules? Force is not allowed!"

When Jiao Niang heard this, she was furious to death. After her anger rose, she suddenly burst out and shouted: "You forced me to do this. I am obviously going to succeed. If I can't be freed, neither can you!" "

After she finished speaking, she suddenly transformed into her true form. An evil ghost with disheveled hair and several men's heads hanging around his waist suddenly appeared. She had long nails and suddenly grabbed at Zhang Miao. She was going to catch it for sure, Zhang Miao would definitely die!
"How dare you!" Qingqing's eyes were about to burst. She flew up suddenly and was about to pounce on Zhang Miao to block the attack for Zhang Miao.

But the next second, a cold snort suddenly came from somewhere. After this cold snort, the female ghost girl suddenly turned into nothing and disappeared in an instant. Qingqing jumped on Zhang Miao and knocked Zhang Miao down directly.

Zhang Miao was stunned by this sudden change. He looked at the female ghost, but now there was no female ghost, and everything seemed as if it had never happened.

It was at this time that he suddenly felt his eyes go dark, and he fell asleep instantly...
-
In the void, two giant Buddhas stood in the sky. Ksitigarbha gently turned his wrist, and Zhang Miao's world began to undergo earth-shaking changes as if it was being twisted. All the memories in Zhang Miao's mind were also deleted, and everything returned to the starting point.

Magu looked at all this and said with some dissatisfaction: "Ksitigarbha, are you too rude to do this?"

Ji Zang said calmly: "The rules cannot coerce Zhang Miao. And the female ghost just made a mistake, so I naturally can't let her break the rules..."

Magu sneered and said: "It's ridiculous, did that female ghost just commit a foul? She had already committed a foul when she snatched Zhang Miao away. Why didn't you stop it then? And after seeing my people go to rescue Zhang Miao, That's why you stopped them and turned back time! You clearly can't afford to lose by doing this. If my people saved Zhang Miao, you're afraid that Zhang Miao would be moved and directly join my way!"

Ksitigarbha said calmly: "You think too much and break the rules. No matter you are your people or mine, I will not agree. Since we want to make a bet, naturally we must be willing to The one who admits losing the bet.”

Magu looked at him coldly, knowing that all this was Ksitigarbha's quibble. But there was nothing she could do. Ksitigarbha was stronger than her, so there was nothing she could do.

Magu was single and weak, but Ksitigarbha had a whole hell of ghosts at his disposal. Ksitigarbha has issued an order that as long as the evil ghost from hell can lure Zhang Miao into his path, then this evil ghost can be saved. Saved by the Buddha himself.

This is something that no evil ghost can refuse. Except for those with really broken heads, all the evil ghosts in hell will look at this opportunity.

And Magu has no one to use, and she doesn't have any team to use. Fortunately, she is a Taoist god, and she is a plant spirit. So she chose to enlighten some plants and let them help her.

Even so, she felt doubly uncomfortable because these plants were also very difficult. Their numbers are too small, their methods are too weak, and they are no match for the endless stream of evil spirits. If it weren't for those evil spirits who are eager for quick success and lack any sincerity. Zhang Miao may have been deceived into Ksitigarbha's way a long time ago.

Just like what happened today, if Ksitigarbha remains fair and allows Zhang Miao to see the terror of evil spirits and the innocence of plant goblins, maybe Zhang Miao will be persuaded by the plant goblins and choose Magu's path. If so, then Magu wins!

Unfortunately, Ksitigarbha cannot allow Magu to win so easily. At the last moment, he used the rules as an excuse to forcefully cover up the matter and 'format' Zhang Miao again.

The bet continues, but this bet is unfair from the beginning!
