The Buddha Temple is not pure

"A bunch of waste, I said three layers, three layers!" Duan Shiqing stood impatiently under the rain corridor. If it wasn't for the heavy rain, he might rush over and kick the heads of several house slaves like balls.

The house slave was also aggrieved: "Young master, there are more than three floors now, four floors are buried by water, and what you saw is already the fifth floor." After saying that, he wiped the rain off his face.

More than a dozen domestic slaves surrounded the kennel, soaked inside and out. The kennel was located in the southeast of Duan Mansion, and it was specially set up for Duan Shiqing's hounds. He had trouble sleeping and eating, and had a strange dream last night. He even dreamed of the fortune teller before. The fortune teller told him that the rain continued for months, so he had to make plans early, so today he made up his mind to come and repair the kennel. , originally wanted to move the foundation, but the rain is not allowed, so I can only lay bricks and soil first, lift the wooden boards up, build three floors and still bury it in muddy water, the servants of the family built five floors on their own initiative, but they were still disgusted by the young master. serve.

Duan Shiqing also hated it. Could it be that the East Capital city smashed up the Dragon King Temple, so why is it raining endlessly?

On that day, Duan Linxiang earnestly begged his parents to take Duan's relatives to the mountain to avoid danger, but Duan Fayang didn't take it seriously, and said that the rain didn't seem to be coming soon. The Zhu family was afraid because their threshold was low, and they were afraid that the rain would flood Going to the mouse hole, the words did not hide the meaning of ridicule, and said that the Duan family is a big family, and the water will naturally recede in front of the door, full of arrogance.

Several staff members of the Duan Mansion sensed that the situation was not good, they discussed packing their bags and fled, but they were caught straight and held in front of the door, their boards were scrapped, and no one said to run away.

The muddy water in front of the door swallowed something into it, and it landed softly, like silk or a corpse. When Fang Xu waded into the Duan Mansion, most of the courtyard was flooded, and there was nothing to look around. When people came and went, he went directly to the Xiangxiang Court, but Duan Shiqing was not there.

"It's okay, I'll wait for him here."

Duan Shiqing's attendant showed his stick: "I don't know what's good or bad, right? You're not going to be held accountable for entering my Duan's house without authorization, yet you still dare to stay here? I told you that the young master won't see you, so why do you insist on begging me?" beat."

"How do you know that your young master won't see me?"

"Hey! The last time you came to test my young master's words, you said that you must marry the young lady of the Ji family, otherwise catastrophe would happen. You swept away the prestige of my Duan family with a few words, and in the end you even collected 300 taels of silver. It's easy to rob people on the mountain road, and it's too easy to get a job by cheating and abducting, only a fool will give you food back."

"Am I wrong? Your young master originally wanted to marry Miss Ji. This was his original intention."

"The Ji family is so arrogant. The young master originally wanted to marry the young lady of the Ji family to teach them a lesson. How come you seem to have changed your mind. It seems that if I don't marry the Ji family, my Duan family will not be able to protect me. Besides, the little girl of the Ji family The lady has already died in Zhuanxiangou, you can't even calculate the lifespan of a person, how dare you play this sign, get out of here."

"Don't worry." Shi Fangxu took half a step back and leaned leisurely against the pillar, "You went to ask your young master, but you remember the dream last night, everything I saw and heard in the dream, everything I knew and felt was my arrangement, If he believes it, he will definitely not neglect me."

The attendants only thought it was funny: "You have pretended to be in front of your grandfather, how could you know what dream our young master had last night."

Shi Fangxu really narrated Duan Shiqing's dream last night, and they were stunned, they didn't dare to make decisions without authorization, and ran to the kennel to find the young master.

Duan Shiqing lingered in the corridor, very irritable: "Dream, what dream?"

"It's the dream you had last night, young master, do you still remember?"

"Of course I remember, what did he say?"

"The fortune teller said that last night he took you up to the Nine Layers of Clouds, where the sky was shining brightly and surrounded by purple air, and there was a white dragon flying through the clouds, turning the clouds and raining, he was the God of the Yellow River's Bingyi water, because Dongdu wrote here on the day of Xiayuan and did not hold a feast or sacrifice. , Only then did he push away the water officer who understood the disaster, and invited the water god who brought disasters... He said that you didn't believe in the dream, so he took you to see the shrine dedicated to the writer officer on the Snake King Ridge. The big python is guarding it, and no one has approached it for thousands of years. It records the merits and demerits of the local pen writers. It is true that there is no fasting and offering sacrifices when writing in the Eastern Capital in the Xiayuan Dynasty...Young master, how does he know so much? It's too evil, right? ?”

Duan Shiqing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "Evil, it's too evil. What he said is the same as my dream last night. It seems that he does have some skills. Hurry up and invite him to Changxiang Court."

"Yes."

He anxiously supervised the unrepaired kennel, and hurried back, when Fang Xu had already had tea in the Xiangxiang Court.

"I have neglected Mr., please don't mind."

"It's okay, I'm afraid that Young Master Duan thinks that my good words are not worth the 300 taels, and I'll be swept out as a swindler." While speaking, he glanced at the attendant just now, Duan Shiqing understood, and immediately ordered someone to pull him down and teach him a lesson.

Shi Fangxu was very proud. In the early years when he and Yu Liuqing were both the envoys of the golden pen, Yu Liuqing was always defiant because of the love of the greedy wolf star king. I didn't expect that there would be today.

"I don't know why Mr. came here in the rain today?" Duan Shiqing refilled him with hot tea.

"You don't even need to ask, it rains continuously in Dongdu, what's Master Duan's plan?"

"I woke up early in the morning and thought last night was just a dream, and I didn't take it to heart, but it was true when I didn't think about it. In this case, I had to persuade my father to take the Duan family up and down to take refuge."

"I am very pleased that the young master has this awareness."

"This time, I would like to thank you for your life-saving grace, sir. If you hadn't shown your supernatural powers and reminded you in a dream, my Duan family would have been submerged in the vast flood. I don't know how to repay the great kindness. As long as you open your mouth, my Duan family will definitely do it. for."

When Fang Xu thought of the wealthy side of the Duan Mansion, he grinned uncontrollably and said, "You don't need to repay it, you can count it as a merit for me, but if the young master is really sorry and insists on repaying this kindness, I will also pay you back." I had to reluctantly agree...the price remains the same, 300 taels, how about it?"

Duan Shiqing was stunned, the lives of his entire family in the Duan family were only worth 300 taels?

"Sir, the layout is small, how about I give you 300 million taels?"

Three million... ten thousand... two!He almost fainted, got rich, got rich, never thought that when he was a god, he was penniless, but he became a mortal world and made a lot of money.

But he still has to try his best to suppress the little thoughts that can't be restrained, so that no one can see his little promise: "It's easy to talk about it, the young master gives it whatever he wants, and I'll take as much as I want."

Duan Shiqing told Duan Fayang the ins and outs of the future, Duan Fayang was finally shaken, the order of carriages and horses had been arranged for a few rounds in the Linyuan Hall, but it was already late today, and it was agreed to leave tomorrow morning. The man in the house was not notified.

The maids and servants who came and went to serve did not know that the master had already planned to escape and wanted to live and die with Duan's mansion. Cars and horses were limited, and Duan Fayang didn't plan to take them with him at all.

The boundless night shrouded the three peaks and four valleys, and only the noise of raindrops piercing through the forest and beating leaves remained in my ears. Zhu Mengzhen traveled for half a day, and his body was covered with mud spots, but he still couldn't find fresh soil Achyranthes vine roots and leaves, and he still had to go up the mountain just go.

But no one knows what is hidden under the dark night on the top of the mountain, and the wind in the ear is like howling by ghosts.

Such a situation does not use kerosene at all. Zhu Mengzhen had thought of it a long time ago, so he carried two luminous stones when he went up the mountain. became a problem.

She climbed up slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and the surrounding environment also changed. At the bottom of the mountain, it was full of low forests and vines wrapped around dead trees. She climbed all over the mountain and could not see the earth and rocks under her feet. But it became clearer, the surroundings were full of bamboos taller than buildings, and the ground became flat under the feet. Even after heavy rain, the soil was still solid, and there were no footprints on it.

Originally, the situation where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, should be optimistic, but I don’t know why Zhu Mengzhen has an ominous premonition. I don’t feel the wind around me. Why do I keep hearing the rustling of bamboo leaves?There is also the crackling sound of bamboo breaking in the middle, and what is even more frightening is that due to the interference of the sound of rain, it is impossible to distinguish the direction at all. It seems that you are deep in an abyss, and you can't look around, but you are clearly seen by the huge monster in the dark.

The more she went up the mountain, the more she trembled, and the bamboo seemed to grow on the cliff. She walked with fear at every step, but she still tripped, and her ankle was cut by a sharp stone, and blood mixed with mud and sand came out, but It was a blessing in disguise, and she discovered Achyranthes bidentata.

She happily took out the small shovel attached to her waist, and carefully dug out the roots. She didn't notice that the rustling sound was getting closer, but felt that the fishy smell was getting heavier. When she realized something was wrong and raised her head, she was Facing her was a bloody mouth.

The two eyes are like two lanterns in the dark night, glowing green, the sharp fangs are covered with white saliva, as if they can swallow a cow, and the scarlet tongue is as thick as a human arm when it sticks out, suddenly With a wild hiss, a hurricane mixed with stench rushed towards her, and she rolled down the hillside without seeing clearly what was in front of her.

If this fell on the bamboo on the slope, it would definitely break a bone. She was already desperate, but the situation turned around. Suddenly, a big warm hand grabbed her wrist, and she stopped.

One of the luminous stones slipped off, and the other was tightly held in her hand, but she couldn't see the man's face clearly.

The torrential rain loosened the hands that the two were holding tightly to each other. Before she said anything, the man was more anxious than she: "Give me the other hand too."

The voice was very familiar, that's right, it was Ji Xuanzhen, who followed her all the way.

"Fourth master?" Zhu Mengzhen was stunned, struggling to hand over the other hand, and using his strength to bend his knees to climb up, but he didn't expect that when he was about to succeed, he suddenly slipped on the sole of his foot and was about to fall again. Fortunately, Ji Xuanzhen had quick eyesight and quick hands, and hugged him by the waist her.

There were only three or two bamboos for support, and the two sat facing each other, both still in shock and panting.

"How did you come?"

Ji Xuanzhen drew out the dagger in his sleeve, cut off a bamboo branch to stop her behind, and then let go of her waist: "The villagers are all sick, like eczema but not like it, and my mother was not spared either. She was originally weak and couldn't stand such a torment. Yesterday I wanted to ask you to give me a prescription, but when I saw you talking to the little monk, I realized that the disease was not that simple, so I followed you up the mountain. "

After finishing speaking, he took the dagger back: "It is rumored that the mountain is dangerous, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it alone."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Mengzhen's heart skipped a beat, he caught his conversation with Xiaosi, and said in a panic, "Don't worry, fourth master, after all, it's about the lives and deaths of the people in Dongdu, and I'll take the Achyranthes knuckles with me when I die. "

These words unexpectedly won the favor of the fourth master: "As expected of a holy aunt, you should have this awareness. I misunderstood you earlier, and it was wrong to offend mine repeatedly. I apologize here. Don't take my revenge."

Seeing that he didn't delve into the matter of the little monk, Zhu Mengzhen felt that the stone in his heart fell to the ground: "What is the fourth master saying? If I were the kind of small-bellied woman, I would not go to Ji's house to report the news after getting the news of Qiulao."

Ji Xuanzhen smiled deeply, his eyes were like torches, and he knew every detail of anyone's thoughts: "Thank you."

The wind and the rain are miserable, but there is a unique world here.

Zhu Mengzhen coughed lightly, and said: "I didn't look at it just now, I don't know if it's the big python, no matter if it's not easy to deal with, but if I want to find more Achyranthes vines, I can only go up, does fourth master have any ideas? "

"Don't you find that thing strange?"

"Why is it strange?"

"It was less than a hundred steps from the place where it fell just now, but it didn't chase after it. It seems that it was not hungry and biting people randomly. Otherwise, with its swift and violent movements, you would never be able to escape. Maybe it will appear in front of you. Just for warning."

"warn?"

"That's right, it's probably because he doesn't want strangers to approach him." Ji Xuanzhen tilted his head, "There must be something on this mountain, otherwise such a spirit beast wouldn't stay here all year round."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Mengzhen's eyes turned suddenly, but he thought of something. Yue Weiyang is the scribe, and there must be a shrine if there is a scribe. Maybe the red python was there to protect the shrine.

The merits and demerits of the writing officer are recorded on the shrine. These have never been dared to be revealed to the world. There have been counterexamples before. It is said that there is a Gu woman in Xiangchu who is very vicious and loves to collect animal skins and teeth. I heard that There was a golden-spotted clouded leopard on Mang Mountain, and it went up under the banner of eliminating harm for the people. After being invaded by hundreds of gus, the leopard had only a piece of fur left, and the shrine in Xiangchu was exposed to the world.

Nine out of ten events recorded above coincide with the rise and fall of the local area, and the villagers smashed the hidden world landscape of the writer according to the above instructions. Who would want to control their fate in the hands of strangers?It doesn't matter whether you are a god or a demon, a ghost or a fairy.

Tianji Palace was furious, and withdrew the writing officer, and gave the Gu Po a stroke on the fate chart of the six realms of reincarnation. She will be reduced to the realm of animals forever, and the guardian spirit beasts cannot be killed.

But Zhu Mengzhen is not afraid, she has no reincarnation.

"You have to go up, the hyssopia vine roots are on it."

Seeing her firm expression, Ji Xuanzhen admired her courage: "I will go with you to help you."

She hesitated for a while, and it was true that she didn't want Ji Xuanzhen to take risks with her, but her deeds of self-sacrifice must be witnessed, otherwise, how could she continue to be a living Bodhisattva in the Eastern Capital?

This time he almost lost his life.

Zhu Mengzhen used the weak light source of the luminous stone to find a few Achyranthes vine roots, and the thing approached without anyone noticing. Ji Xuanzhen, who was hiding in the dark, noticed it and drew out the short knife early, only waiting for it to attack at the moment. Go up, the two discussed it.

The python didn't want to really swallow Zhu Mengzhen, it was just a bluff to scare it like the previous time, but Ji Xuanzhen was indeed a bit ruthless this time, rushing to kill him, the short knife pierced deep into the python's eyes, and suddenly sharp The neighing was about to pierce one's ears.

The boa constrictor didn't know how long it was, and it twitched wildly and swept down a large piece of bamboo. Ji Xuanzhen was thrown heavily on the pile of rocks, and even Zhu Mengzhen was affected, and was slapped on the ground by its tail, spitting blood.

There was a big blood hole in Ji Xuanzhen's head. When he got up, he swayed from side to side. He couldn't see clearly at first, but his eyes were blurred by the blood. The group is quite special, a bit ghostly.

He tried hard amidst the hoarse roar of the boa constrictor, and suddenly bumped into something hard. When he looked up, he was facing a stone statue, which was only half the height of a man. He couldn't tell a man or woman, and he had eyes, ears, mouth and nose, but But he doesn't look like a person, he smiles very strangely, who built a shrine in such a place with nothing to do?

His left hand rested on the back of the stone statue, feeling the bumps, and vaguely felt the word "rain".

Turning to the back of the shrine, with the strobe of thunder and lightning, he intermittently saw some words such as "twelve thunders", "death tripping the fairy ditch", "locusts attacking the city", "heavy rain and disaster", etc. This shrine is a bit mysterious.

When he saw the Juanxiangou, his heart tightened, and he wanted to see the whole picture, but he didn't notice that the big python had recovered his sanity, and hit him like a bloody lightning.

"Fourth Master, be careful!" Zhu Mengzhen was late in reminding her.

It was already too late when he turned his head, there was no way to avoid it, he could only wait for death, that is, he seemed to have expected the end of being smashed to pieces the moment he closed his eyes, but such an end had not yet arrived, he opened his eyes in surprise, but saw With the plain white clothes in his mouth, the blood spattered five steps, mixed with the rain, making his face red.

The sharp teeth pierced through the heart. When Zhu Mengzhen was spit out, he couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive. Ji Xuanzhen's mind went blank. How did he become like this?He flew out the dagger in his sleeve, but he didn't hit the vital point like before, and he didn't intend to fight to the death, he just wanted to lead people away quickly.

As soon as Zhu Mengzhen was picked up, the big python attacked again, its winding body wrapped around the bamboo pole and blocking his way.

Ji Xuanzhen was about to put him down and fight to the death, but Zhu Mengzhen grabbed his sleeve tightly and heard her say in a voice like a gnat: "God beast, don't kill it."

He wants to kill, is it possible?It is no longer easy to fight with a short knife.

But he didn't pay attention to his feet, his leg was scratched by the broken bamboo joint, and he rolled down the mountain when he lost his balance. The big python finally stopped chasing him. The chance to escape, Ji Xuanzhen was covered in bruises when he stopped, but he still held his arms and tried to give Zhu Mengzhen room to breathe.

Zhu Mengzhen's white clothes were dyed red from her wedding dress, her face was bloodless, her eyes were slightly closed, her teeth were clenched... Ji Xuanzhen panicked, her heart hurt, it was impossible to live.

Saved his life for him.

"Ma'am, wake up..."

No one answered.

He saw that his trembling hands were covered with bright red blood, and he couldn't accept it for a while, the holy lady, the living Bodhisattva who healed and saved people in Dongdu, just... died like this?

He couldn't vent his frenzy, and his hysterical roar shocked half of the hills, but the rain didn't stop, the wind didn't stop, and this catastrophe would not stop because of someone's death.

After a long time, he regained his composure and had to take him back to the Zhu family and the people of Dongdu to give an explanation.

But just as he leaned over to pick her up, he suddenly felt her faint heartbeat!
