If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 152 Xu Xian, no such person found!
space-time transformation.

In the south of the Yangtze River, in late spring in March, the grass grows and orioles fly.

In the early morning, on the outskirts of Qiantang, in the purple bamboo forest.

An old monk was running through the woods holding a Zen staff in one hand and a string of purple-light Buddhist beads in the other.

However, the way he ran was different. His feet did not touch the ground, and he stepped on the grass tips as if flying in the air.

The old monk's face was glowing red, and he sang a song as he ran: "There are waves in the waves, the sun is shining, the scenery is beautiful, the red flowers are green grass, I am running forward happily, and I am still young when I travel all over the green mountains..."

At this time, a young monk wearing plain white robes caught up with him.

This monk looks young and has a good background. He is the abbot of Jinshan Temple, and his dharma name is Fahai!

"The old abbot is really refreshing..."

The old monk turned back and smiled: "Haha, yes, young man, morning exercise is beneficial to practicing inner alchemy."

Fa Hai replied: "Senior, you have a childlike face and white hair, and you walk as fast as flying, but your breath is still calm and your spirit is leisurely. Your practice has reached its peak. How many years have you been practicing?"

The old monk smiled and said: "Time leaves no one behind. It has been 200 years in the blink of an eye. How about you young man?"

Fahai ran and replied: "Ashamed, I have only been cultivating for more than 20 years. Not as good as the abbot, you can steal the sky and change the weather. I can see at a glance that you are not a human being..."

"Ok?"

The old monk couldn't help being surprised.

"Bold monster, I want you to reveal your true self!"

The old monk was frightened and looked a little confused.

We obviously had a good conversation just now, but this young man is too devoid of martial ethics, isn't he?Are you going to fall out?
No, you have to reason with this young man.

The old monk was about to speak, but he didn't know that Fa Hai had already raised his hand to form a seal and chanted a mantra loudly: "The mighty heavenly dragon, Prajna Buddhas, World Honored Ksitigarbha, Prajna Bama Kong!"

As soon as he finished reciting the curse, a dazzling golden light appeared on his fingertips, which frightened the old monk and he was about to turn around and run away.

Fahai raised his hand a little and shouted loudly at the same time: "Reveal yourself!"

"Mage..."

The old monk shouted loudly and suddenly disappeared from the place.

"Huh?" Fahai couldn't help but frowned.

Because the old monk actually escaped.

"It turns out to be a spider... Humph, you want to escape?"

Fa Hai flew into the sky and followed closely.

Although he is only in his 20s, his identity is not simple. He is the reincarnation of one of the Eight Heavenly Dragons. This is why he often chants the "Mighty Heavenly Dragon" mantra.

The old monk begged while running away: "Master, I have been worshiping at the foot of the Golden Buddha of Lingtai Temple for many years. I have absorbed the Buddha's shadow for a long time and my temperament is peaceful. Master, please let me live."

Fahai couldn't hear it, and angrily shouted: "Nonsense, a demon is a demon! Kasaya!"

"Prajna-bama Kong... Prajna-bama-kong... Prajna-bama-kong... Prajna-bama-kong..."

Fahai's curse echoed in the air.

Following the sound of the mantra, the cassock grew larger and larger, covering the sky and the sun, and enveloped the old monk.

"See where you are fleeing, and see my big golden bowl, take it!"

"Master, please spare my life, Master..." the old monk begged bitterly: "You are a kindhearted person who saves the world and saves the people. Please let me live..."

As a result, Fahai was unmoved and said angrily: "Shut up, demons are demons. The four realms of gods, humans, ghosts and demons are hierarchical. You can accept the punishment in peace."

After saying that, he walked to a pavilion and lifted the pavilion up with a slight lift.

At this time, the old monk had returned to his true form as a spider and was suppressed by Fa Hai under the pavilion.

Afterwards, Fahai recited a Buddha's name loudly: "The mighty heavenly dragon, the world-honored Ksitigarbha, Amitabha Buddha!"

"Ok?"

After reciting the Buddha's name, Fa Hai glanced at a tree not far away and frowned.

Because hanging on that tree was a string of Buddhist beads emitting a faint purple light, which were exactly what the old monk had held in his hand before.

"The demon's beads?" Fa Hai raised his hand, grabbed the beads in his hand, and murmured to himself: "It's strange, the demon has taken it away, why is the spiritual energy still condensed? Could it be that he really received the shadow of the Buddha at the feet of the Bodhisattva? ?Did I collect the wrong demon?"

As I thought, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then it started pouring rain.

The sound of thunder and the heavy rain shook De Fahai's faith for a moment.

No, no, there is no way I picked up the wrong demon...

Fa Hai was in a irritated mood and ran towards the bamboo forest on the right.

After running for a while, it suddenly stopped.

Because, he sensed the evil spirit again.

"Another goblin?"

Fa Hai ran forward for a while, then he formed a mudra and recited a mantra: "Prajna Buddhas, Ksitigarbha Dharma Eye, Prajna Bama Kong, reveal the Dharma!"

A ray of golden light was released from between his eyebrows. Following the direction of the golden light, Fahai finally saw the demon.

They were two giant snakes, one green and one white, squirming over the bamboo forest.

"It turned out to be two snake demons, preparing to receive the spell... the mighty heavenly dragon, the diamond flame..."

Following the sound of the spell, the fly whisk in his hand suddenly turned into a flame and rushed towards the two snake monsters.

"what……"

At this moment, a woman's moan seemed to come to his ears, and it sounded like there was some pain.

Then, there was another baby crying.

At this time, Fahai finally saw clearly that it was a woman giving birth in the bamboo forest.

As for why she gave birth in the bamboo forest... Fahai didn't allow Fa Hai to think too much about this, and it was none of his business.

"The rain finally stopped, kid, it's okay..."

The woman held the child and murmured to herself.

"return!"

Fahai finally came to his senses and withdrew the diamond flame he had just unleashed in time.

Because he discovered that the two snake monsters were actually doing good things and helping the young woman protect herself from the wind and rain.

"I remember that you have good intentions and are kind-hearted to help others, so I will give you a way to live. I hope you will practice well in the future and achieve positive results as soon as possible. You are so good!"

After saying that, Fahai left the string of Buddhist beads in the bamboo forest, turned around and strode away.

But for some reason, the image of the young woman just now always appeared in his mind, and he couldn't get it away...

……

noon.

To the west of the city, Qingfeng Academy.

A group of students were reading aloud: "There are flowers flying everywhere in the spring city, and the east wind blows the willow trees in the cold weather. At dusk, candles are passed from the Han Palace, and light smoke disperses into the houses of the five princes."

"Red beans are born in the southern country, and a few branches come out in spring..."

While the students were reading aloud, the teacher stood by the railing of the school building, admiring the street scene outside.

This teacher is none other than Ding Xiu.

Through the street scene, the school building, the students in the class, and the Wanhua Building across the river, Ding Xiu determined that this academy was the academy where Xu Xian, the hero of "Green Snake", served as a teacher.

However, after some inquiring, Xu Xian found no such person!
This is a bit interesting.

After a while, Ding Xiu accidentally discovered that a student named Qin Song looked worried. The other students were studying and studying, but he was the only one who was deserting.

So, stepped forward.

"Qin Song, what are you thinking about?"

Qin Song: "..."

"Qin Song!" Ding Xiu raised his voice and called out. Qin Song just woke up and quickly stood up. His face turned red and he lowered his head without saying a word.

Other students were affected and glanced over.

"Okay, sit down and let's continue reading."

"Yes!" Qin Song responded softly before sitting down.

However, I picked up the book, but I was still a little distracted.

In fact, Qin Song studied very hard on weekdays, and rarely looked as distracted as he did today.

When school was over, Qin Song walked downstairs and was about to leave the academy, but Ding Xiu stepped forward and said, "Qin Song, follow me."

Qin Song was stunned for a moment. Seeing Ding Xiu walking towards the outside of the academy, he had no choice but to follow him.

When he walked to a deserted place outside, Ding Xiu just turned around and asked, "Qin Song, what's going on with you today?"

Qin Song forced himself to smile and said, "No...it's nothing..."

"What is nothing?"

Qin Song: "..."

"Do you think you can hide it from me? Is there anything you can tell sir..."

Under Ding Xiu's repeated questioning, Qin Song finally broke down and told his story with tears, leaving Ding Xiu speechless.

It turned out that this guy actually encountered Immortal Jump.

This has to start a few days ago.

That afternoon, when Qin Song was passing by an alley, he saw a woman in her early twenties walking towards her. She had her hair tied up in a bun and a light green skirt. Her appearance was pretty, and she had a kind of gentleness of Xiaojiabiyu, which made her look very happy. Qin Song couldn't help but take a few more glances.

The woman seemed to have noticed Qin Song, and couldn't help but smile shyly, then lowered her head and continued walking in a hurry.

Unexpectedly, just as the two passed each other, Qin Song suddenly heard the woman exclaim...

"what!"

Qin Song quickly turned around and found that the woman had fallen to the ground, looking tearful.

"Little lady, are you okay?"

Qin Song originally wanted to step forward and help him, but there were differences between men and women, so he couldn't help but hesitate.

The woman whimpered: "My feet hurt so much..."

"This... how about Xiaosheng help you to see the doctor?"

The woman replied: "It's okay, my family lives at the end of the alley, or... or..."

The woman looked shy and seemed a little uncomfortable speaking.

Qin Song immediately said: "The young man will help the young lady go home first."

The woman said delicately: "Thank you very much, sir."

On the way, the woman took the initiative to introduce her name. Her name was A Mei, and her husband's name was Tieniu. They worked as a waiter in a teahouse.

Soon after, Qin Song helped A Mei back to her small courtyard at home.

In the spirit of a good person who will always stick to it, with A Mei's acquiescence, he took off her shoes and gently kneaded her sprained foot.

During this period, the two chatted for a while, and Qin Song was surprised to find that A Mei actually knew some poems and songs.

After asking, I found out that A Mei's father was a scholar. He taught her to read and draw since she was a child, and she also read a lot of poems and books.

Unfortunately, her father passed away early, her mother took her to remarry, and her stepfather and his family were not very good to her.

Later, her stepfather accepted Tieniu's betrothal gift and married her to Tieniu...

Although she didn't say how her life was after marriage, Qin Song could tell that she didn't seem to be very happy.

For some reason, he suddenly sympathized with A Mei.

Moreover, he always felt that the way A Mei looked at him was like a pool of wrinkled spring water.

The important thing is that for some reason, A Mei specially said something, saying that her husband comes back very late every day...

The implication is that you have plenty of time?
No matter how stupid Qin Song was, he guessed A Mei's thoughts and felt hot inside.

But in the end, he still defeated his own reason and hurriedly said goodbye in A Mei's disappointed eyes.

But two days later, for some unknown reason, he went to that alley again by accident, but he didn't go to A Mei's house, and kept wandering nearby...

Coincidentally, he saw A Mei again.

This time, Qin Song finally couldn't hold back and followed A Mei to the small courtyard again...

Unexpectedly, just when something good was about to happen, a tall, thick-set man with dark skin and a sinewy face took a kitchen knife and kicked open the door.

At that moment, Qin Song was so scared that he almost lost his soul.

That man is A Mei's husband Tieniu.

"You two bitches, I will kill you..."

Qin Song hid and begged loudly for mercy.

Ah Mei just focused on crying.

In the end, Tieniu did not kill anyone. After all, killing someone requires a life.

However, he asked Qin Song to write an IOU, compensating him with 100 taels of silver and paying him back within five days, otherwise he would sue the government.

Speaking of which, Qin Song's family can be regarded as a small wealthy family, but 100 taels of silver is not a small amount. It is enough to buy a small courtyard in Qiantang.

The important thing is, how dare he let his family know about such a shameful thing?If his father found out, he would probably beat him half to death.

Once the matter spread, he would not be able to see anyone.

Afterwards, Qin Song thought carefully about it, and always felt as if he had fallen into the legendary beauty trap (also known as the Immortal Jump in later generations).

However, when I think of A Mei's delicate and pitiful appearance, she doesn't feel like a bad woman.

The important thing is that 100 taels of silver is not a decimal. What excuse can he use to ask for it from his family without arousing suspicion from his family?
This was the reason why he had been haunted.

After finishing speaking, Qin Song gave a long bow to Xiu Ding and said in a sob: "I hope you, sir, will keep the secret for the students. Don't let others know, otherwise... otherwise the students will really have no face to see others."

Ding Xiu sighed, raised his hand and patted Qin Song's shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, there will always be some storms in life."

"But sir, what should students do? Students really can't afford that much money."

"From what you said, it's obvious that you fell into the other party's trap. It's okay. I'll go find out the other party's details later, and then I can help you think of a solution."

Upon hearing this, Qin Song was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

As expected.

After Ding Xiu inquired about it, he found out that Tieniu was not a teahouse clerk at all, but a notorious gangster who made a living by deceiving and abducting people.

As for A Mei, she told Qin Song about her life experience. Her father was a scholar who died early when she was ten years old. Two years later, her mother remarried.

Since he's a rogue, it's easy to handle.

So, Ding Xiu found Qin Song and asked him to go to A Mei's house with him.

"Huh? But...but the student hasn't collected the money yet."

Ding Xiu smiled and said, "Who said we have to compensate him?"

"Ah? But..."

"I've asked about it, that guy is a famous rogue..."

After saying this, Qin Song became even more uneasy and muttered: "The students are afraid that there will be trouble. Then..."

"Don't worry, can't you trust me?"

In desperation, Qin Song had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Ding Xiu to the alley.

When he reached the end of the alley, Qin Song raised his finger and pointed at the courtyard door: "This is it."
