The Love of the Green Snake in the Other Side Pavilion

Chapter 3 Receiving the Spirit-devouring Rat
Xu Qingqing was a little speechless, she should have thought that what kind of apprentice would have what kind of master, why bother to experience their stubbornness again.

She remembered that 3000 years ago, someone swore to God and said something similar. He said: "The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, people's hearts are like rafts, and all living beings can't find their way. Point out the direction and find the way."

She raised the corners of her lips indifferently, hugged the blood fox lying on the bed and walked out the door slowly, looked at the lonely sky in the distance, turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Jikong walked back and forth in the village for a few times, but to no avail, so he took out a string of rosary beads and stood by the roadside, reciting scriptures with his eyes down. Xu Qingqing sat in the only wine shop in the market and watched from afar with a half-smile. The fox lay on its knees, licking its paws from time to time.

In the afternoon, the sun is blinding. There are few trees on the side of the road in this market. The vendors in the market take off their jackets and fan their palms one by one. , a faint red dot can be seen.

Before it was time to stick an incense stick, the red dot came to the market, and Jikong took a steady step to block the front of the welcoming team, clasped his hands together and saluted: "Sponsor, please come out and have a look."

"Is it Su Lang?" The red sedan chair swayed for a while, the woman inside threw herself down with a hipa in her hand, she was about to throw herself into his arms with hazy eyes, when the lonely sky flashed slightly, she just dodged it.

The woman raised her head showing a sad and resentful face, which added a bit of sickly beauty, and the woman's voice was miserable: "Su Lang once said that you will marry me when you come back, but now you don't want to marry me, why not?" Became a monk, Su Lang."

People in the market gathered around one after another, talking about it, the forbidden love between the monk and the beauty is really a good topic to talk about.

Jikong didn't dodge, and was easily grabbed by the woman's sleeve and cried for a while, looking a little more embarrassed,
Xu Qingqing's eyebrows and eyes were crooked looking from a distance, Jikong, Jikong, you probably never thought that you would be in such a mess today.He drank the cup of coarse tea at hand, picked up the blood fox on his lap, wobbled to the side of Ji Kong and stood still.

Ji Kong's expression was flat, as if the embarrassment that Xu Qingqing felt just now was just an illusion.He said: "Almsgiver, please let go of the poor monk, otherwise if your soul flies away, don't blame the poor monk."

"Su Lang, what are you talking about, don't scare me, okay?"

"You died a hundred years ago, why can't you let go of such a life?"

"Su Lang, I..."

Before the words were finished, the sound was cut off, Ji Kong flipped out the seal of the Daming King, the woman took two steps back, the seal of the Daming King just disappeared a centimeter away from the woman's face.

Seeing that she couldn't keep pretending, the woman snorted coldly: "Monk, you are kind-hearted, but unfortunately, I am not." When she said this, the woman turned a bunch of hipa knots in her hand into a dagger, and stabbed Ji Kong's face straight, There is a big smile on the face.

With a flick of Jikong's sleeves, the woman dropped the dagger and fell to the ground.

She smiled: "Monk, don't tell me that you are here to punish evil and promote good."

"How to get out?" Ji Kong didn't answer the question.

"I don't know. If I want to go out and figure out my own way, I'm not in a hurry." The woman calmed down, as if she was sitting in the courtyard sipping fragrant tea at the moment, rather than being controlled by others.

Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Ji Kong formed seals with both hands and used the woman as the center point to cast the seal and draw the ground as a prison, trapping her in it.Ji Kong glanced at Xu Qingqing, turned and left.

Xu Qingqing watched Jikong walk away without catching up, and squatted next to the woman with the blood fox in her arms.

The woman smiled and said, "Why don't you go?"

"Why should I go?" Xu Qingqing was a little nonchalant.

"It seems that you are very confident in your companions, but sometimes being too confident may not be a good thing." The female ghost took out a mirror from nowhere, and looked at the mirror, very leisurely.

"It's not necessarily a good thing to be less confident in your companions." Xu Qingqing replied indifferently.

The woman just snorted and stopped talking, just pointing at the small bronze mirror.

While they were talking, Jikong had already walked to the old woman's house. Seeing him coming, the old woman smiled lovingly, lowered her head and continued to grab a few grains of millet and feed them to the chickens on the ground. Maybe she won't be able to make a move, but it's a pity that she met Ji Kong, the cold-hearted Ji Kong, so she can only sigh that her luck is bad.

With an unobstructed expression, Ji Kong slightly probed his left hand from the void, and the alms bowl appeared in Ji Kong's hand out of thin air. He raised his left hand, and the alms bowl flew out to the old woman. After ten or so formulas, Xiaomi turned into thousands of hidden weapons and flew towards the lonely sky, covering the sky like locusts crossing the border, even the sky was a bit dark, and no matter how powerful it is, just looking at this formation is a bit bluffing .Jikong unhurriedly buckled down with his left hand slightly, the bowl stopped in mid-air, and sucked the hidden weapons into the bowl one by one. At this time, several hidden weapons went straight to Jikong, but they arrived at the bowl after turning a few turns inside.But among these thousands of hidden weapons, it is like a mayfly shaking a big tree. It is a bit weak, and it can be called a touch of gold in the middle of all darkness.

The old woman had already taken this opportunity to retreat dozens of steps, folded her arms and looked into the arena leisurely, watching Ji Kong's every move. When she saw this scene, she quickly squinted her eyes and looked again. The spiritual energy in the world was clearly flowing. It appeared in front of my eyes, and the vortex airflow formed when the alms bowl sucked in the hidden weapon was imprinted in my eyes.At the moment, he was secretly startled, and felt a little bit withdrawn for a while, but when he thought of the transaction, he sighed, and instead of retreating, he kept knocking on his hands and making seals, and within a short time, thousands of formations had been set up.

Just at this moment, Jikong flipped his palm, and the alms bowl landed firmly in his palm. The hidden weapons that originally covered the sky and the sun were all included in the alms bowl in this short period of time. Layer millet.

The old woman had no choice but to turn half of her body into a demon, with thick white hair growing all over her body, and a faint brilliance to protect her body. At first glance, she could tell that her defense was extraordinary. She turned her hands into claws, and with a sharp cold light, she went straight to Jikong's face, saying : "If you tell me how you saw the flaw, maybe I'll spare your life when I'm in a good mood."

Ji Kong dodged her attack indifferently, she was not annoyed, and just attacked close to her body.Ji Kong swayed and dodged her attacks one by one without fighting back.

After dozens of strokes, Ji Kong's monk robe was scratched by the old woman, and several cuts were cut on his body, blood flowed out, looking a bit embarrassed.

Jikong frowned slightly, took out a bodhi branch from the void, held it in his hand, and said: "The poor monk borrowed the thatched cottage as a gift." way to compensate.

Seeing what Jikong took out, the old woman raised the corners of her mouth slightly as if she was mocking, but Jikong couldn't see it, so she took it away casually, but the old woman stretched out her sharp claws to block it, with a mocking smile on her face, but she couldn't smile in the next second, There was a scorching heat from the fire on the hand. Looking down, the place where the beating seemed to have been burned by a fire had a lot of blisters, and all the nails that were swept by the branches were broken off. The old woman was stunned in disbelief. Two flicks.

Taking advantage of this seal, Jikong once again used the ground as a prison, using the bowl as the eye of the formation, sat cross-legged, his left hand was like holding a flower, and his right hand seemed to be holding a mutton fat jade bottle spread out under his left hand, reciting the Shurangama Sutra: There is no cause and fruit, death and eternal extinction, no return to the body, and all saints. Even though they are empty and silent, those who lurk in greed, and those who accept their desires, also have an empty heart, and they have no cause and effect." For a moment, the Buddha's light was brilliant.

The old woman was enveloped by the golden Buddha light, her mind and soul were in pain, she looked fine on the outside, but inside she was enduring the skin-like pain, the old woman struggled in pain, and slowly transformed into her original form, a giant snow-white beast appeared out of nowhere in the seal, on the giant beast It has pink soft ears, its front teeth are protruding, and its claws are shining coldly. It is a giant mouse that is alive and well, except that its fluffy tail is not like a rat's tail, but rather like a fox's tail, with a touch of red at the tip of the tail. This tail is like an iron whip His whistling whip hit the seal, and the seal trembled, faintly showing signs of breaking.

Jikong thought of the ancient books he had flipped through a hundred years ago, and was secretly startled. He didn't expect the legendary ancient beasts to appear now. Could it be that the day is about to change? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up at the sky. He never stopped drawing the swastika on the alms bowl with his fingers dipped in blood on the tip of his tongue. The alms bowl and Buddha light wrapped it layer by layer, and a heart-piercing roar came from the seal.The seal that had been unstable due to the spirit devouring mouse's struggle instantly stabilized, and the cracks on the seal were mended one by one.

After a while, the light disappeared, and what appeared in the formation was not a giant beast, not an old woman, but a beautiful young woman in a white palace dress, ringed with jingle bells, ten slender fingers, holding a long flute between the fingers, the wound on the back of the hand is as big as the naked eye. Visible speed recovered, she raised her eyes, feeling quite at a loss as she drew her sword and looked around in a daze.

Jikong secretly sighed, luckily it was the spirit-eating mouse, fortunately the spirit-eating mouse had old wounds, could it be that he would fall here today, his face was still indifferent, making it impossible to see anything else, he scolded: "Love is for you!" Illusion, the cause of reincarnation and the bitter fruit. Yesterday’s cause and today’s fruit, can’t you see through or understand this catastrophe of love?”

The Spirit Devouring Mouse was still dazed, and tapped its ten fingers on the flute for a long while, finally sighed, turned the white palace dress into a plain cloud shirt, clasped its hands together and said: "I can't see through, I can't see through, thank you master for helping me wash away all my sins, my concubine I wish to go into the mustard seed to gain enlightenment every day." After saying that, he jumped into the bowl, and the bowl fell to the ground and turned three times.

The village collapsed and collapsed due to the departure of the spirit-eating rats, and Xanadu became a broken plain and ruins.

Jikong got up and picked up the bowl, wiped away the dust floating on the surface, and put it in the mustard seeds of the void. After walking only two steps, he saw skeletons passing through with peach charms in their hands. The peddlers on the roadside were also skeletons. They traded, chased and played , calm and strange, Ji Kong passed by as if he hadn't seen it.

Walking to the place where the woman was sealed at the beginning, I saw Xu Qingqing leaning against a broken stone wall with a blood fox in his arms, not knowing what he was thinking, when he saw him coming, he nodded slightly to say hello.
