The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

After Yang Heng finished speaking, he stood up and walked out. Seeing Yang Heng going out, the Qiongxiang servant girl hurriedly followed behind Yang Heng.

So the two master and servant walked through the walls and yards of Liu Rui's house, and soon came to the living room directly in front.

As soon as the servant outside the living room saw Yang Heng coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute Yang Heng, "Master, you are here, our master has been waiting for you for a long time."

Yang Heng was a little surprised after hearing this, since he had been waiting for a long time, why didn't he send someone to remind him?

If someone came to urge him, he would not come back after breakfast.

But it's useless to think about it now, Yang Heng hastily entered the living room in three or two steps.

As soon as Yang Heng entered the living room, Liu Rui who was sitting in the middle of the living room hurriedly stood up to greet him.

"Daozhang, did you rest well last night?"

"The benefactor's arrangement is very thoughtful, Pindao, I slept until the sun was up."

Then Liu Rui was satisfied after listening to Yang Heng's words, and then took Yang Heng's hand to the main hall and took their seats.

Chapter 236

In the hall, the two of them sat down separately, and it was still the new servant girl who brought the fragrant tea. Afterwards, only Liu Rui and Yang Heng were left in the hall.

Only then did Liu Rui say: "Master Daoist, thanks to you coming this time, my family was saved from a catastrophe. Liu is very grateful. If someone can do it, he will definitely not shirk it."

After hearing Liu Rui's promise, Yang Heng finally felt a little happier. Isn't that the purpose of his visit this time?

However, Yang Heng still had to pretend to be magnanimous on the surface, "Benefactor Liu, you are being polite. It is the duty of a monk to subdue demons, how can he ask for reward?"

Then Liu Rui obviously also saw that Yang Heng was just being polite, so he just smiled.

But then his face became serious, and it seemed that he was about to talk about business.

"Daoist, I know that the Taoist has been cultivating in Xiangfu County, but it is only a remote place, how can we accommodate the great god of the Taoist, in my opinion, the Taoist might as well move to Kaifeng Mansion, I still have some ability here , in the Kaifeng mansion, build a Taoist temple for the Taoist priest to practice for the Taoist priest, I don’t know what the long-term intention is?"

After Yang Heng listened to it, he thought about it silently. Although he said that he could get help from the Liu family nearby in this Kaifeng mansion, but in this way, he would be no different from those offered by the Liu mansion, and he would have to rely on others from now on. .

If he was an ancient person, he would not mind if he had the backing of the Liu Mansion and a large income, but Yang Heng came from modern times anyway, and he never had the idea of ​​becoming someone else's slave in his mind.

So Yang Heng just hesitated for a moment and said: "Thank you, benefactor Liu, for your kindness, but I am used to staying in Xiangfu County. I have friends there, and the neighbors are very helpful. I really can't bear them. Therefore, we can only live up to the kindness of benefactor Liu."

Liu Rui felt a little annoyed when he heard Yang Heng's refusal, but he still had a smile on his face.

"Since this is the case, then I don't care if it grows."

When he said this, Liu Rui clapped his hands.

Outside the door, the housekeeper of the Liu residence immediately brought in two servants dragging a large tray.

Liu Rui stood up, came to the side of the two servants, stretched out his hand and lifted the red cloth on the tray, and immediately there was a golden light shining in the hall.It turned out that there were twenty ingots of gold in each tray.

And Yang Heng, who was following Liu Rui, also felt his eyes light up when he saw so much gold.

Although he had obtained a lot of money in modern times, it was the first time he had seen so much gold in front of him.

Who is Liu Rui?It was an old fox, and he knew what was going on in Yang Heng's mind just by looking at him.

At this time, Liu Rui's opinion of Yang Heng also dropped a little.

Although this priest said that he was capable, he still couldn't escape the world's lust and wealth. He usually seemed to be an outsider, but today with so much gold in front of him, he immediately showed his appearance.

"Daoist, these are gifts for the Taoist, I hope the Taoist will accept them."

Yang Heng looked at the forty ingots of gold, about 400 taels, his face turned red with excitement.

But now Yang Heng can still maintain his basic rationality, so he reluctantly moved his head away from Jin Jin, and then cupped his hands to Liu Ruigong and said, "Then I will thank Benefactor Liu. In the future, benefactor Liu will give you instructions if you have anything to do."

Liu Rui nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his hand, the two servants immediately put the tray on the table in the hall, and then retreated with the housekeeper.

When there were only the two of them left in the hall, Liu Rui said again: "Master Daoist, I'm going to ask you something today."

"Old benefactor, I have something to say."

Then Liu Rui hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My sister-in-law, Daoist Yang should know about it."

Yang Heng was taken aback when he heard his words, what's going on with this Liu Rui?He should know better about that Wang Dashan than himself. Seeing the inside and outside of what he said, he wanted to ask himself about Wang Dashan.

Yang Heng's mind immediately turned in a circle. Although Wang Dashan said he was a little narrow-minded, he was really kind to him. If he hadn't met him at that time, he might have lived on the street.

So Yang Heng turned his eyes and said: "When I first came down from the mountain, thanks to Wang Dashan and everyone who took me in, I have a deep impression on Wang Dashan."

After saying this, Yang Heng closed his eyes and didn't say what he meant. He understood it very well. He just told Liu Rui that this Wang Dashan has a kindness with me, so don't ask me about his affairs.

After hearing Yang Heng's words, Liu Rui's eyes flashed a cold light, but he concealed it very well, and Yang Heng didn't notice it.

"Daozhang, I have no other intentions, just want to ask, how is my sister now?"

Yang Heng opened his eyes, smiled slightly, and then said: "Mrs. Liu's life is quite comfortable, Mr. Wang Dashan loves her like the apple of his eye."

"That's good, that's good, so I can rest assured that even if I die, I can go to see my parents underground."

When talking about this, Liu Rui shed some tears. If outsiders saw this situation, they would think how much he cared about his sister.

Regarding Liu Rui's performance, Yang Heng could only sit there with a cheeky face and accompany him in a family scene.

After waiting for a while, Yang Heng couldn't find anything to talk about, so he got up and said goodbye.

Liu Rui didn't stop him, and immediately ordered the servants outside to prepare two brocade belts for Yang Heng, put all the gold in the brocade bag, and sent them to Yang Hengde.

Yang Heng didn't shirk, after receiving the brocade bag, he bowed his hands to Liu Rui, and left in a cool manner.

Liu Rui was standing at the entrance of the hall, watching Yang Heng disappear with a smile on his face, then he suddenly sank his face, looked gloomyly at the direction where Yang Heng disappeared, and stared fiercely, then Go back to the lobby.

After Liu Rui sat down, he clapped his hands, and immediately two people came out from behind the screen in the hall.

Among these two people, one of them is the old Taoist priest Xu Jing, while the other is a monk who looks like a foreign monk.

The old Taoist Xu Jing immediately saluted Liu Rui respectfully when he saw Liu Rui, then stood aside and waited for his orders.

But that foreign monk was very rude. He glanced at Liu Rui arrogantly, and then sat beside Liu Rui as if no one else was there.

Liu Rui didn't seem to notice the monk's rudeness, and there was a flattering smile on his face.

"Master, did you rest well yesterday?"

The fan monk just smiled and said: "Everything is fine, but that little girl is really carefree."

The old Taoist priest Xu Jing who was standing aside heard the monk's words, a trace of intolerance flashed in his eyes, but he saw that Liu Rui who was sitting in the middle didn't seem to care about this matter, so he could only grit his teeth and bear it. After that, who would let himself eat other people's food?

"Master, you also saw that Daoist Yang just now, how is his ability? Tell me about it."

The monk listened to Liu Rui's words and gave him a strange look, but he immediately said: "Liu benefactor, so that you can know that this Daoist Yang is not small. Looking at him in his life, he has already cultivated inner alchemy." , and after a period of time, the golden core will become a human immortal."

Liu Rui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Cultivating an immortal can lead to longevity."

When the monk heard this, there was a hint of ridicule in his eyes, but he still explained for Liu Rui: "Although this human immortal is called an immortal, he is actually a human. The art of human immortality, I have heard of real immortals at the beginning." Dao, because of greed for the world of mortals, the road of cultivating immortals stops at small success. If one day abandons human desires and revives the heart of Dao, then the real immortal will be achieved quickly."

Jealousy flashed across the eyes of the monk when he said this, and he said: "Although this human immortal will not live forever, his inner alchemy has been completed. He can draw talismans to catch ghosts, reconcile yin and yang, and temper lead and mercury, so he is free from all diseases. All evils are not allowed to approach, even at the end of life, relying on the inner alchemy in the body can cultivate the way of ghosts."

And Liu Rui's eyes were as bright as light bulbs after hearing the monk's words. You must know that being able to cultivate the way of ghosts and become a local god is the greatest blessing when the celestial beings are not visible.

But the monk also saw Liu Rui's thoughts, he snorted and said, "Do you think it's easy for Taoist priests to practice? People like them should have been adopted by an expert when they were young. In the mountains every day, swallow the spiritual energy of the heavens and the earth, the essence of the sun and the moon, so that it is possible to cultivate the golden elixir in your lifetime."

After hearing this, Liu Rui sighed regretfully, and then said, "Then what can the master do to make a mortal achieve success quickly?"

When the monk heard this, his eyes dropped, and he remained silent.

Liu Rui knew what he was thinking when he saw the expression of turning over, he just smiled, then clapped his hands again, and then the butler of his mansion came in with seven or eight servants, carrying two big boxes .

Liu Rui stood up, came to one of the boxes, and opened it abruptly.There was a little silver light flashing in the box, and everyone took a closer look, and it turned out that the box contained a box of silver ingots.

Then Liu Rui walked to another box and opened it as usual. This box was full of pearls, agate, jade and other things.

The monk looked at the two boxes, his eyes were about to pop out.He originally thought that he would get some silver taels at most from Liu Rui this time, but he didn't expect that Liu Rui would give him two boxes of jewelry with such a large amount of money.

But that monk also practiced for a period of time, and immediately recovered his mind from the two boxes of jewels.

He could see clearly just now that Liu Rui was only a few hundred taels of gold for Taoist Yang who helped him a lot.

But this time he gave him so many things, then he must be asking for a lot. If he can't do it for him, I'm afraid there will be no good fruit to eat.

After the monk thought it through, he immediately calmed down, lowered his eyes, and tried his best to move his eyes away from the two boxes of jewels.

Chapter 237: Happy Zen

Who is Liu Rui?It was an old fox, just glanced at the monk, and knew that he was just forcing himself to be calm.

So Liu Rui smiled all over his face, walked back to his seat slowly, and then said to the fan monk who seemed to be resting with his eyes closed: "Master, this is just a little idea of ​​mine. If Master fulfills my wish, I will And thank you very much."

The monk slowly opened his eyes, and then asked: "Liu benefactor, I don't know what you are asking for?"

"Well, although I have a lot of status and property, but I'm getting older and I'm about to go to the ground. As for this person, it's only at this time that I realize that all the money is nothing but dung."

After sighing for a while, Liu Rui stared at the monks and said, "I beg the master to show me a clear way, so that after I die, I will not be as good as reincarnation, and I can enjoy this bliss forever."

After hearing Liu Rui's words, the monk felt a chill from the soles of his feet to his forehead.

The other party's request was too great, even beyond his ability.

If a person wants not to enter reincarnation, there is only one way in this era where gods do not appear, and that is to find an errand in the underworld.

And although he said that he devoted himself to cultivating in Fandi and now has some abilities, it is impossible to arrange an errand for Liu Rui in the underworld with these abilities.

If he has this ability, he might as well arrange a good errand for himself first, so that after his death, decades of practice will be wiped out.

But the person in front of him was his great benefactor, so he had to find a way to meet his request anyway, otherwise the gold and silver in his hand would fly away.

Therefore, the turning head was spinning rapidly, trying to find a shortcut from the classics he had cultivated to meet the request of the benefactor Liu Rui.

Not to mention, this monk really has some skills, and he actually found out a method in his mind that can get the best of both worlds.

It is said that this method has been passed down for a long time in their esoteric sect. According to legend, more than a thousand years ago, a great virtuous monk relied on this method to quickly attain the ultimate Tao and ascend to the heaven.

But since then, no one has been able to practice this secret technique.

Even if you practice forcefully, no matter how great your virtue is, you will quickly fall into the evil way.

Because of this, this secret method was directly discarded by the senior elders in their temple in the corner of the scripture storage pavilion, and never asked about it again.

And this fan monk only took a look at this secret technique when he was cleaning the Sutra Pavilion by accident.

But after reading it, he immediately felt fascinated. After that, his mood was unstable for a long time, and his cultivation also dropped a lot.

This secret method is also well-known, and his name is - Joy Chan.

When you hear this name, you will definitely think of the famous Huanxi Buddha.

Legend: The king of Brahmanism, "Vinayaka", was cruel by nature, his heart became a demon, and he killed Buddhists. Sakyamuni sent a Bodhisattva to enlighten him.

This Bodhisattva is unable to subdue the demonic nature through various means, so what should I do?In desperation, she turned into a beautiful woman and had a physical relationship with "Vinayaka". In the warm embrace of the female Bodhisattva, "Vinayaka" immediately dispelled all evil, filled with love in her heart, and finally converted to Buddhism and became a Buddhist altar. The master of all King Kong.

According to legend, the Zen of Joy was also passed on by this Vajra.

However, these are all legends, but there is no actual record. The practice method of Huanxi Chan was created by some virtuous and eminent monk in this fan monk's mind, and it may not be really practiced by the Vajra of Buddhism.

But now this fan monk can't care about other things, let's get rid of Liu Rui's benefactor first, and then talk about whether he can practice successfully?That's his business, it has nothing to do with him.

So the foreign monk immediately made a solemn gesture, "Amitabha, I have a superior secret method here, which can make people reach the other shore quickly and achieve immeasurable achievements."

After hearing these words, Liu Rui's eyes became even brighter. He hurriedly stood up and came to the turning point, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, please give me some advice."

The monk slightly opened his eyes and looked at Liu Rui, then sighed and said: "This method is a secret that is not taught in my teaching. If you want to practice it, you must worship under my sect."

Now Liu Rui has been fascinated by Changsheng, he doesn't care what is good or bad, but he still has basic reason.

He knew in his heart that if he worshiped under the sect of this monk, if word spread, it would definitely cause an uproar.

Because in this era when Confucianism is the rule of the world, it is still understandable for him to abandon Confucianism and follow Buddhism.

At that time, I am afraid that not only himself, but also the foundation created by the Liu family in Kaifeng for hundreds of years will disappear together.

After thinking of this, Liu Rui immediately narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Master, this is a difficult task for others. If Master doesn't want to teach you, then I won't say anything."

After saying this, Liu Rui flicked his robe sleeves with a gloomy face, and walked out of the hall.

And the foreign monk was also a little anxious when he saw this scene, and he was a little angry at Liu Rui's ignorance.

Xin said: I'm just being polite. If you kneel there again and beg me for a few words, won't I pass it on to you?Is there any need to be so angry and shake your face?

However, he knew the influence of the Liu family in this area. If he offended Liu Rui today, he might not even be able to leave the Kaifeng mansion.

Everyone must be wondering, this fan monk should be somewhat capable, why would he be afraid of a layman?

This is because although this monk has achieved success in cultivation, most of them deal with ghosts and monsters. He really doesn't have many spells to deal with people.
