My master is the coffin

Chapter 7 Copper Coins

As soon as I heard this, I became more convinced in my heart. Isn't this monk hinting at me that he has real skills?
Then, without waiting for him to ask any more questions, I told him what happened in the past two days.

Lao He didn't show any surprise, and kept drinking tea with the teapot.After listening to my speech, he nodded slightly: "This matter is easy to handle. I will write you a six-character mantra, which is the 'Om, well, eh, ba, me, Hum', come, come, take it, gods and ghosts will stay away. No matter what kind of copper coins and ingots, there is no medicine to heal itself."

Then, he casually took out a paper bag from under the bed, which contained a bald pen and a bottle of ink, then tore off a piece of the paper bag, and started to write with the pen.

I secretly thought in my heart, an expert is an expert, acting so uninhibited...

After the six-character mantra was written, I took it in my hand, and I didn't know how to thank it.The monk actually held out his hand to me.

I was a little surprised: "Master, what are you doing?"

The monk said confidently: "Give me the money. Six words, ten yuan per word."

My face immediately fell down, isn't this blackmail?
The abbot saw that I was displeased, so he sat on the wicker chair again, holding the teapot in one hand, looking at the beams of the room, and said slowly: "When Tang Monk went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, he came to the foot of Lingshan. Even if you ask Tang Seng for personnel, let alone here. Little brother, the scriptures are not passed on in vain, and the truth is not given indiscriminately." After saying this, he abruptly pulled the piece of paper back from my hand.

I secretly thought: "Interesting, this place is called Dasheng Temple, do all the rules really follow Journey to the West? Probably people with skills have weird tempers, in order to save their lives, give money as much as you want."

The abbot took 60 yuan from me, put it in his arms happily, and then asked me: "Is there any difficult problem? Whether it is marriage, career, grievances, you can talk to me."

I hesitated for a while, and said: "Master, I thought just now, no matter how powerful this talisman is, I can't carry it with me all day. In case one day, I take a bath or change clothes, I accidentally put it on my body. I forgot this Dao talisman, what will those brats do if they come to me again?"

The abbot stared and asked, "What do you want to do?"

I was a little embarrassed and said: "Can you please go there in person? Exterminate those little ghosts, so that I can feel at ease?"

The abbot showed displeasure: "I have been practicing here for many years, and I have never stepped into the world of mortals."

I thought about it, and ran out of the remaining 200 yuan in my pocket: "You take this, it's my incense donation to the temple."

The abbot sighed: "Sure enough, he is a predestined person who is dedicated to the Buddha. The Buddha can't help people, so what's the use of preaching the scriptures? Forget it, I'll go with you."

I was overjoyed, thank you again and again.

At this time, the pilgrims in the temple had already left.

The abbot locked the temple door and Youzai Youzai took me outside.

Seeing that he was calm and relaxed, I couldn't help asking: "Master, don't you think the river is smelly? I don't think you have any reaction."

The abbot said lightly, "I'm used to it."

It was already afternoon when we left the Dasheng Temple.The two of us simply ate some food and then rushed to the city.By the time we reached the street where the ghost market appeared last night, the sky was already dark.

I pointed to the quiet path and said, "Master, this is here."

The abbot nodded and stood in the middle of the road with his eyes wide open. He stared a few times, then nodded and said to me, "I opened my third eye just now, and there are indeed many ghosts here."

I was a little scared, so I took two steps back and stared at the lush trees: "Then what should I do?"

The abbot closed his eyes slightly, and began to mutter in his mouth, making a series of syllables like singing.

After a long time, he finally stopped and said to me: "It's all right, after a rebirth curse, all those little ghosts will go to reincarnate. They won't cause harm to the world anymore."

I was dumbfounded: "It's that simple?"

The abbot nodded: "It's just some little devils, they just raised their hands and drove them away."

The two of us were talking when the street lights on the side of the road came on.At this moment, I suddenly saw that beautiful woman from last night appearing, just under the streetlight not far ahead, standing tall and graceful, as if she was waiting for someone.Moreover, I can see clearly that she still has no shadow.

I suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but I turned my head to see that the abbot was beside me, and I felt much more at ease.I secretly pointed at the beautiful woman, and said to the abbot, "Master, there is a ghost over there, that beautiful woman, have you seen it?"

The abbot looked at the beautiful woman, then gave me a suspicious look: "A ghost?"

I stared at the beauty and whispered, "Yes, master, look, she has no shadow."

The abbot rubbed his eyes, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my god, there is really no shadow. Let's go quickly, there are ghosts."

I quickly grabbed the abbot who turned to leave: "Don't go, aren't we here to catch ghosts?"

The abbot didn't care about this, he broke free from me, and walked back with great strides, the previous calmness of course disappeared.

I refused to let go, and kept tugging on his monk robe.Finally the abbot stomped his feet and said to me: "Xu You, let me tell you the truth. I don't know magic, and I'm not a real monk. The last abbot of the Dasheng Temple was my cousin. Me, I want to make a living with me."

When I heard this, my heart suddenly turned cold: "You don't know how to catch ghosts?"

The abbot nodded sincerely: "Really not."

I shook my head: "You lied to me, you definitely will, you are the only one in Dasheng Temple, who else is there besides you?"

The abbot sighed: "I really don't lie to you, young man, it seems that you are quite educated, why are you so superstitious?"

My mind was already in a daze, and I murmured: "You don't know how to catch ghosts? You don't know how to catch ghosts, so you dare to come here?"

The abbot said angrily, "I didn't know you could meet a real ghost? I thought you were scaring yourself to play. How about it, why don't I refund the money to you? Let's go quickly."

Then, he dragged me and hurried outside.Thoughts were flying in my mind: It's over, the expert is a fake.But the copper coins on my body are real.Am I dying?Seven days have passed and two days have passed.What should I do the rest of the day?Eat, drink, prostitute, gamble and smoke?Swindled, kidnapped and stolen?Beat up the dormitory aunt?Touching the girls' dormitory building in the middle of the night?
As I was thinking this way, suddenly I felt the abbot's palm shaking violently.

I was a little surprised and asked, "Abbot, what's wrong with you?"

The abbot tremblingly pointed to the front: "Look."

I tilted my head, looked over his body, and saw a beautiful woman standing under the lamp, seeming to be smiling at us.

I was taken aback: "What's going on? Why are we back again?"

The abbot looked at me in horror: "It's like a ghost hitting a wall."

I looked around, the lights were dark and I couldn't see anything clearly.At this moment, the abbot shouted in panic, "That woman is coming towards us."

I turned my head and saw that beautiful woman with a ghostly smile on her lips had already walked over.

The abbot and I were so frightened that we turned around and ran away.

What the hell is hitting the wall at this time, let's run for our lives first.

The two of us ran for a while, and suddenly there was another light in front of us, and there was also a beautiful woman standing under the street light.

The abbot and I were so tired that we were out of breath, and we were so frightened that we felt cold all over our bodies.

The abbot gasped for breath and complained in a low voice: "Xu You, Xu You, you have killed me. How nice it is for me to eat fast and recite scriptures in the temple. Why are you here with me?"

The abbot was chattering and complaining, and I suddenly had an idea: "Abbot, why do we have to run on the main road? Let's run to the side of the road."

The path around this path is very remote, and there are lush trees beside the path, and the inside is darker and more gloomy.

However, the two of us had no choice, so we gritted our teeth and walked in one after the other.

The two of us got into the woods, walking sloppy, kicking and stamping.

This kind of forest is completely wild and wild, and has not been artificially built. The two of us groped and drilled in it.

The abbot seemed to be frightened and ran faster than a rabbit. I could only see a little of the abbot through the shadow of the tree.I was terrified and called him in a low voice along the way, telling him to wait for me. However, the abbot ignored me at all and continued to drill into the depths of the woods.

I drilled for a while, and suddenly felt something was wrong.Although I haven't been to this road many times, I am familiar with the scenery on the roadside. There are a few trees here, but it can't be that there are so many. After drilling for so long, they still haven't come out?
Thinking of this, my pace couldn't help but slow down.

At this moment, suddenly there was a cold hand on my shoulder.

I was so scared that I almost called back, and looked back in a panic.There was a person standing behind him, it was too dark to see who it was.

The man's voice was hoarse and trembling: "Young man, what are you doing here?"

The sound made me numb with fright, but vaguely, I felt like I had heard it somewhere.I thought about it, and tentatively asked, "Are you Mrs. Chen?"

There was a hum over there, and he said, "Young man, don't go inside anymore, come with me."

Then, Mrs. Chen took my arm and walked outside slowly.After just walking a few steps, we have already returned to the road, and the street lamps are shining brightly on us above our heads.

I said anxiously: "The abbot is still in the woods."

Chen Po's face suddenly became mysterious and nervous, and she said to me: "That person is not the abbot, hurry up."

I was nervous, my heart was pounding, I looked left and right, and followed Granny Chen to escape on the path.

This time it went smoothly, we didn't meet the ghost city, nor did we meet that beautiful woman.Come safely to the main road.

As soon as I walked out of the small path, I heard an eager voice ringing in my ears: "Xu You, are you back?"

I turned my head and saw that the abbot was standing by the side of the road, as if he had been waiting for us for a long time.

I was surprised: "Why did you come out first? I thought you were in the woods."
