[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

Zhang Litang collapsed on the ground and did not recover for a long time.It wasn't until late at night that the clapper of the third watch rang, and the shouting watchmen brought some popularity, which woke him up from his fear.

Zhang Litang picked up a handkerchief from the dressing table and wiped his sweat, looked at his pale face reflected in the bronze mirror, and suddenly gave a wry smile.

"Zhang Litang, Zhang Litang, it's in vain for you to claim to be courageous, but today, you were frightened like this."

He was soaked in sweat, and there was no one to take a bath for him at this moment, and there was no extra clothes to change, so he was wrapped in wet clothes, which were very sticky.

Fortunately, it is summer, and the night is not considered cold, otherwise it must be frozen.

Zhang Litang looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and took out a plain white handkerchief from his chest with slightly trembling hands. The handkerchief was embroidered with Sophora japonica, with a faint fragrance of Sophora japonica.

Zhang Litang's eyes flickered for a moment, he remembered that when he went up from the Black Mountain, Huai Xu took him in for a night, those strong men, presumably Huai Xu instructed his subordinates to capture those strong men, this was considered a life-saving grace.

There is also Qingqiu lying on the bed, if Master Quan did not take action, I am afraid that he would not be here now.

Zhang Litang had heard many legends of ghosts and ghosts, and many stories about how cruel monsters and ghosts were, but at this moment, they all faded away like a cloud of smoke.

Zhang Litang recalled the story of Shen Yutang that Huai Xu had told him.

If ghosts cannibalize people, why is he here today?

In the city, there are also many legends about the scholar who reads at night, and the fox girl with red sleeves. Doesn't this mean that monsters are not as scary as imagined?

Even in the land of Qiantang, there are also legends of snake immortals.

"Serving ghosts and gods is no different from serving people, it's nothing more than the word 'honesty'."

Huai Xu's words echoed in Zhang Litang's ears again.

"I, a student of Confucianism, isn't it the way to seek sincerity? Inside and outside, there is no difference. If people treat me with sincerity, how can I not reciprocate sincerity?"

Thoughts turned thousands of times in Zhang Litang's mind, after all, it was his closeness to Huai Xu that overwhelmed the idea of ​​"frightening ghosts and gods".

Huai Xu knew that as long as Zhang Litang was close to him, as long as he did not violate Zhang Litang's taboo, Zhang Litang himself would find thousands of reasons to convince himself.

People always like to get close to what they want to be close to, and obey what they want to listen to.As for right or wrong, sometimes I really can't tell.

But at this moment, Zhang Litang's choice must not be wrong.

Without mentioning Zhang Litang's thoughts, Huai Xu left Zhang Litang behind and turned back to the wing.

On the table was a Rakshasa bone hairpin with two broken sections. This magic treasure was cut into two sections by the Bright Moon Sword, and has lost its magic power.

Whether it is a magic weapon or a magic weapon, the law comes first, and the law comes first.A master of Buddhism can see the world in the sand.Sometimes the utensils that carry the Dharma may not be so rare, and more often, it is hard to find a Dharma.

In fact, a Jiazi ago, Lanruo Temple was not occupied by Huai Xu.

Lanruo Temple is a place where Buddhism declines, and Taoism eliminates demons and rises.The decline of Buddhism and the rise of magic will naturally attract special guests.

Twelve yaksha ghosts, twelve rakshasa ghosts.

Yaksha and Rakshasa are monsters who are both gods and demons. When Buddhism is strong, Yaksha and Rakshasa are loyal and powerful guardian gods. When Buddhism declines, Yaksha and Rakshasa become depraved and vicious ghosts.

The yaksha ghosts and Raksha ghosts entrenched in Lanruo Temple are of course not Dharma protectors. If there is an extra word for ghost, they are naturally vicious ghosts.

Huai Xu couldn't fight against them at first, and after he cultivated into a yin god and turned into a grass puppet, he could only hide and not reveal it.

Later, Huai Xu searched for countless evil ghosts, subdued the vicious ghosts, refined them into three Yin bags and a hundred ghost banners, and then returned to Lanruo Temple to eradicate Raksha ghosts and Yasha ghosts, and sealed them in human skin scrolls to be driven by him. Raksha ghost bones refine natal artifacts, sit in Lanruo Temple, and control a hundred miles around.

The Three Yin Bags and the Hundred Ghost Banners are the basis for grandma to control the ghosts in Montenegro, but after Huai Xu reformed the Dharma, he re-sacrificed the two magic weapons, dispersed the magic of controlling the ghosts in Montenegro, and made them a pure way of ghosts Magical weapon, but also lost most of its power.

On the contrary, the yaksha and rakshasa in the human skin scroll are of great use, and Huai Xu is about to turn them into his own Dharma protector through the Twelve Karma Wheel Sutra.

Breaking through the last magic treasure, Huai Xu truly transcended the barriers and embarked on a new path.Although this road is difficult, it is much brighter than before.

Huai Xu carefully put away the broken bone hairpin, closed his eyes and contemplated the road ahead.

When the sky was bright and the yang energy rose, the wolf ghost felt that he was hiding in a cool place under the shade of a tree. Shan Bao and Mu Gui put on human skins and turned back into grey-clothed servants with stiff faces.

The people on Quanshang were feeding the fish. The crape myrtle flowers in the yard poisoned a pool of fish last night, but the toxin was not fatal, it just paralyzed them all. It gradually recovered.

Huang Wulang knocked on Huai Xu's door and said, "Grandma, do you still want to go there?"

Huai Xu's eyes flickered, and he said, "Go ahead, everything will be as usual."

Huang Wulang bowed and retreated to wait for Zhang Litang to wash up. He knocked on the door and went in, only to find that Zhang Litang's face was red and he was in a bad mood.

Huang Wulang sniffled and said, "Young Master Zhang, you are sick."

Zhang Litang was exhausted and almost collapsed when he stood up, Huang Wulang reached out to support him, touched his forehead, and it turned out that he had a fever.

Zhang Litang was frightened, and slept all night wrapped in sweaty clothes. It's strange that he didn't get sick.

"Mr. Zhang, you have a fever. You can't stay here. You should change to another place first, so as not to infect your school boy." Huang Wulang said while helping Zhang Litang outside.

"Liu Lang, call Mr. Quan, Mr. Zhang is ill." Huang Wulang said, moved Zhang Litang to another room, found him a change of clothes, and supported him on the bed.

When Master Quan came over, Huai Xu also followed.

Master Quan took Zhang Litang's pulse, squinted his eyes and said, "It's okay, it's just that I was frightened and contracted a cold. It will be fine after a while of recuperation."

Zhang Litang's eyes kept avoiding Huai Xu, not daring to make contact with him, even though he wanted to let go of his grudges in his heart, he still couldn't help being a little afraid.

Huai Xu looked at Zhang Litang with a smile, he already understood Zhang Litang's choice, as for the slight awkwardness, it was just a trivial matter.

"There's no need to be so troublesome. Litang still has to go back to Chen's house. If there's a long delay, something might happen."

Huai Xu smiled meaningfully, as if pointing something.With his ability, he can already see something, even if he can't see it clearly, he can see a little image through various signs.

Zhang Litang listened to his words, before he had time to think about it, Huai Xu had already stretched out his hand to cover Zhang Litang's forehead.

Gentle vitality flowed down from Huai Xu's hands, Zhang Litang felt warm all over his body, and a wisp of fragrance lingered around the tip of his nose, and he fell into a deep sleep in comfort.

"Okay, sleep for two hours, and he'll be fine." Huai Xu stood up, his sleeves drooping, "Wulang, take care of him, and when he wakes up, he'll be by his side. come back."

Seeing that Huang Wulang agreed, Huai Xu took Yan'er, Huang Sanlang and Huang Liulang out.

Huai Xu did not forget that the main purpose of coming out this time was to eat.

How can someone who runs a restaurant not have some dishes that can support the market?

In addition to eating and eating, you have to figure out how to do it from eating.There are also some materials that need to be purchased.

Delicious food is not enough to attract diners.Deliciousness is a luxury, and what it brings is satisfaction.

However, it is impossible to satisfy ghosts and gods only by delicious food.

After all, ghosts and gods are not mortals, abandoning the flesh, or like monsters, they are not a race at all, and it will not work just by relying on delicious food.

However, Huai Xu already has a solution to these problems.

Zhang Litang slept soundly, woke up really refreshed, seeing that it was not yet noon, Zhang Litang went to Master Quan, entrusted Qingqiu completely, and then took Huang Wulang to Chen's house.

The Chen family is a big family in Jinhua. Although it is not a well-known family, but with Chen Daonian around, as long as they carefully train their younger generations, they will definitely be able to take root in Jinhua in a few decades.

But now, Chen Daonian is ill.Not only was he ill, but he was also very strangely ill, making people panic.

When Zhang Litang knocked on the door of the Chen family, the old butler with a sad face appeared.

Seeing Zhang Litang, the old housekeeper was very surprised, "Master Zhang, why are you here?"

"Uncle Wang, I sent a letter to Uncle half a month ago, did Uncle not receive it?" Zhang Litang was surprised.

Uncle Wang sighed, but: "I don't know who made the mistake in delivering the letter. The master has been ill for a month, and the young master's arrival is really unlucky."

"What about my aunt?" Zhang Litang asked.

Uncle Wang's expression changed, he was a little embarrassed, and said: "Madam...Madam..."

Zhang Litang's complexion changed, his eyes widened, and he asked, "What's wrong with my aunt? My aunt is from my Zhang family. What happened, do you still dare to hide it from me?"

Uncle Wang was in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to hide it. The Zhang family in Huizhou and the Chen family in Jinhua were not at the same level. The Zhang family had a big business, and the Chen family could not afford to offend.

Chen Daonian's success is closely related to the Zhang family's support. Uncle Wang dared not hide it, and said: "The thing happened too strangely. A month ago, the master suddenly became seriously ill and fell into a coma. Half a month ago, my wife went to Fu'an Temple outside the city to pray for blessings. On the way back, I bumped into a ghost, got hysterical, and went crazy."

"Crazy?" Zhang Litang raised her voice suddenly, and asked, "Uncle is unconscious, aunt is crazy, what's going on?"

"Hush. Keep your voice down, young master. If this gets out, the reputation of the Chen family will be ruined in the future."

He invited Zhang Litang into the mansion, closed the door, so as not to be heard by the corner, and then tried his best to tell what he knew.

Chen Daonian is a teacher of the academy, so it is inevitable that he will have some socializing from time to time. A month ago, the young master of the Wang family, a big family in the county, was admitted to the academy, and the Wang family invited the teachers of the academy to the banquet.

It was already late at night when the banquet ended, and Chen Daonian fell ill the next day after he came back.
