Start from Liaozhai to brush the gods and demons alone

Chapter 17 You are a good actor
Abbot outdoors.

Monk Jianglong couldn't hear the movement in the room, so he sat cross-legged under the tree in the courtyard, chanted sutras with his eyes closed to relieve his worries, and two young monks stood beside him to accompany him.

Suddenly Jianglong opened his eyes, and the door of the Abbot's room opened.

Xu Ran came out with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Master Jianglong, the old abbot said he was hungry, please prepare a table of vegetarian food and bring it over, he invited me to accompany him."

Jianglong was overjoyed, got up and clasped his hands together and said, "It's a good job, master is willing to eat fast?"

"That's right," Xu Ran nodded, pretending to be profound and said, "Master, don't worry, I'll talk to him again, I think it will be all right."

"It's good, I have a job to do." Monk Jianglong showed joy and went to prepare a vegetarian meal.

After eating behind closed doors for nearly two hours, Jiang Long and the others murmured in their hearts, but they didn't dare to intervene. It wasn't until the temple lit candles that the door of the abbot's room opened again.

The old abbot of Changqing appeared at the door majestically in a clean monk's robe and cassock.

Jianglong hurried forward to salute, "The disciple pays respects to the master, is the master well?"

"You have been bothering these few days," Abbot Changqing looked at him kindly, "Go and call all the people who are in charge, and announce something important for the master."

"Yes."

……

Although Changqing Temple is not small in scale, it is a small local temple after all, and it does not have four class leaders and eight deacons as standard, and they have been simplified to eight.

In view of the lessons learned from the four monsters on the bonfire last time, Xu Ran originally wanted Abbot Changqing to arrange for them to come in one after another so that he could form a single monster.

Otherwise, several high-level game monsters will be generated at the same time, and they will be forced to fight against each other. It will be really difficult to spawn.

Fortunately, they came in twos one after another, which saved him a lot of thinking.

There are three more groups of six red "??" level monsters in the game system.

After a while, there were seven monks standing in the abbot's room, the first two were obviously older, and the other five, headed by Jiang Long, stood in the second row.

The first two senior monks stepped forward and said with concern:
"Senior Brother Changjing."

"Senior brother is true."

"I've seen Senior Brother Abbot, can Senior Brother Abbot recover his memory?"

"Thank you for your concern, I haven't fully recovered yet, but I already know who I am," Abbot Changqing nodded, "You two, please take your seat."

The two old monks sat down, Jianglong and the other five came forward to salute, Jianglong said: "Master has just recovered, I don't know if there is any important arrangement?"

"There are three things." Abbot Changqing first took out the invitation card from the magistrate of Taoyuan County. Everyone looked at it one by one. Several days."

Jianglong pondered and said: "You little demon, why bother the master, why not send two juniors there, since you have just recovered from a serious illness, you can take a rest."

At this time, Monk Changjing suddenly remembered something, hesitating whether to talk about it, and said: "Speaking of Taohua Ridge, my junior brother remembered something, I don't know..."

Seeing him mention Taohualing, Xu Ran became interested, and seeing his hesitation, he understood and said: "I'm an outsider, it's inconvenient here, it's better to avoid it."

Abbot Changqing also understood, and said: "Xu Xiaoyou and the old monk have the feeling of saving lives, and they have become friends after seeing each other for years, so we can't be regarded as outsiders."

Changjing nodded and said: "It is rumored that in the depths of Taohualing, there is a fairy peach tree that bears fruit every 300 years. It is a rare spiritual fruit in the world. Taohualing, including Taoyuan County, is also named after this legend. Find out if this rumor is true."

When Xu Ran heard about this for the first time, he paid attention to it.

In this way, I can justifiably go for a longer time. Abbot Changqing was ecstatic when he heard the words, nodded calmly and said: "I also mean the same thing. I asked you all to come to arrange things in the temple."

All the monks looked dignified and listened with bated breath.

The following words were designed by Xu Ran and Wang Yuanwai for an hour based on what he had seen and heard in the past few days.

Wang Yuanwai has already practiced it several times, and he is very familiar with it.

He said: "I came back from the dead this time, and I have a lot of feelings in my heart. Next, I want to concentrate on studying Buddhism. In addition to this trip to Taohualing, I'm afraid I can't control the affairs of the temple too much. My The position of abbot will be taken over by Jiang Long, Chang Jing and Chang Zhen, two juniors, you are Jiang Long's elders, you must help him with all your heart."

Changjing Changzhen got up and put his palms together and said, "I would like to abide by the decree of my brother."

"Well," Abbot Changqing hummed, and said to the others: "You are all disciples of Jianglong, and you must work together with him to carry forward the incense of Changqing Temple."

All the monks saluted, "I would like to abide by the decree of the master."

Abbot Changqing waved his hand, "Okay, you all go down, Jianglong will stay alone."

Several people retreated, Jianglong took a step forward and said, "What is the master's intention?"

"Jianglong, are you satisfied with the arrangement as a teacher?" Abbot Changqing asked softly.

Jianglong knelt down and kowtowed, "The kindness of master's nurturing, the love of nurturing, the disciple will never forget!"

"Get up and answer." Seeing Jianglong standing up, Abbot Changqing said, "I want to ask you, Master, do you know the purpose of the treasures of this temple?"

Jiang Long was puzzled, "This..."

Abbot Changqing said kindly: "You succeed the abbot of this temple and take over the mantle of being a teacher. The teacher intends to give you one as a token of the abbot of this temple. That's why I asked this question."

Jianglong showed joy on his face, and said like a few treasures: "There are many treasures in this temple, but the only treasures that can be called the treasures of the town temple are the five that are enshrined in the Pilu Hall."

Abbot Changqing nodded approvingly, "Let's hear it."

Jianglongdao: "The nine-ring Zen stick is a magic weapon refined by the first abbot of this temple. If used by a great Buddhist master, it has the power to open mountains and stop streams."

"Feitian Jie Dao, two swords combined, invincible."

"The bronze demon pestle can strengthen the supernatural powers of Buddhism and is the nemesis of monsters."

"Purple cloud cassock, wearing it is invulnerable to water and fire, dispels five poisons, can concentrate and rest, and is an auxiliary magic weapon for comprehending Buddhism."

"The purple gold bowl integrates offense and defense. It can also be used to trap enemies and refine demons and ghosts."

After speaking, Jianglong looked at the master expectantly.

Abbot Changqing said: "The Nine Rings Zen Rod was refined by the first abbot. It should be kept by the new abbot, so I will give it to you."

Jianglong was overjoyed: "Please abide by the law."

Abbot Changqing said again: "That Feitian Jie Dao is in the hands of your two uncles. The combination of the two swords can represent the will of the master and be bound by you."

Jianglong said in awe, "I will abide by the decree of the law."

Only then did Abbot Changqing reveal his purpose, and said, "You go and get the other three pieces, as the teacher will use them to conquer the demons in Taohualing."

Jianglong took the order: "Disciple will go now."

"and many more."

Abbot Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "Among the Buddhist teachings in the Pilu Hall, which one do you think is the most powerful and which one do you want to learn the most?"

Jianglong thought for a while, and said, "It's "Great King's Curse", which is the master's famous technique, and my disciples have always admired it."

"Well, you take it together, and you are allowed to copy a copy yourself before you go out as a teacher."

Abbot Changqing lost his breath, the play was finally about to end, but he couldn't hold back enough.

He also said: "You find a few copies of the Dharma practice that you have been introduced to in this temple. If you meet someone who is destined to be a teacher, you will give it to him. If you are willing to convert to my Buddha, I will send him to vote for you. You will receive it yourself , or give it to the juniors to teach, it’s up to you to decide, but you must take it easy.”

"The disciple leads the order."

"Hurry up and get ready."

"Okay, when is the master going to leave? How do you prepare the things you need for daily use?"

"To get rid of demons and defend the way, it's not too late, and we'll leave before noon tomorrow."

The abbot of Changqing didn't have a lot of things for daily use, and Xu Ran didn't remind him of this in advance, but he thought that the monk of Changqing had always been out before.

Then he smiled and said: "No need to trouble too much, let's go on as usual."

"Yes."

Seeing Jianglong retreat and close the door, the two looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Abbot Changqing wiped the sweat from his brow, and said, "I didn't get through it, did I?"

Xu Ran raised his thumb, "You are a good actor, we have a happy cooperation."

"What is an actor?"

"A role in a play."

The abbot of Changqing looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh, this was all forced out by Huang Yunying in the Huang family. The past is unbearable..."
