[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

Zhai Yangcheng wore a mask and mingled among the monsters, watching them imitate human beings, drinking and drinking, chatting about different customs, or looking at lanterns and flowers, he found it novel and cute.

Zhai Yangcheng felt very comfortable, the bright moon was like a big pearl falling in his eyes, which made him feel joy from the bottom of his heart.

Zhai Yangcheng looked at the bright moon, and the cold moonlight fell on his feathers, fell between his nose and mouth, was sucked into his body, and turned into a stream of magic power like a clear spring.

Suddenly, there seemed to be countless golden lights falling from the moonlight, densely packed like light rain, and each light spot was shaped like an olive, falling from the sky.

I don't know who suddenly shouted: "The emperor is coming!"

The entire ghost city suddenly fell silent, and countless ghosts looked up at the sky, with longing in their eyes.

Suddenly dozens of ghosts flew out of the blue and black towering stone building, either in the shape of infant spirits or in the shape of flying apsaras, holding incense burners, fruits, incense tables and other utensils in their hands, and set up altars for offerings on the top of the stone building.

Huai Xu was dressed in snow white, his clothes looked like a moonlight mole, and a jade hook like a crescent moon hung on his waist.With picturesque features, like a fairy or a god, he lit a fragrance, took out a round fan from his sleeve, and slapped it lightly, and the straight smoke of the fragrance rose into the sky.

The celestial girl Yingling wrote a song: "The moon rises brightly, and the brightest people are bright.

Comfortable and correct, laborious and quiet.

The moon rises brightly, and the outstanding people are beautiful.

Feel comfortable and worry, work hard.

When the moon rises, it shines brightly.

Shu Yao Shaoxi, laborious and miserable. 1"

Big and small monsters shouted in harmony, Bai Xianzhi recited the sacrificial rites, a round of mysterious light and moonlight above his head complemented each other.

Huai Xu is dancing, his sleeves are like clouds, and his round fan is like a sword. The movement and stillness are appropriate, as if the bright moon shines brightly, imprinted in the hearts of every monster, ghost and god.

Huai Xu seems to have become the incarnation of the moon god, raising his hands and feet, the moonlight flows like a clear spring, and the emperor's liquid flows into the Black Mountain with the moonlight, and sprinkles fluorescent lights in the ghost city.

After the dance was over, Huai Xu took the lead to bow down to the bright moon.

"Worship the moon!" Bai Xianzhi shouted.

The ghosts in the ghost city followed suit, praying to the moon, closing their eyes and making wishes one by one.

Zhai Yangcheng's mind was blank, he closed his eyes, and a thought came up in his heart, and he prayed silently: "Pray to the moon god, may this scenery never fade away."

Ding--

As if a bell was ringing, a piece of Emperor Ointment slowly fell on Zhai Yangcheng's body, penetrated into his body, melted into his mana, and merged with him.

Huai Xu sacrificed to the moon, and got the favor of the moon god. The emperor's liquid on the black mountain seemed to be shining continuously, some fell on the demons and ghosts, increasing their spiritual wisdom, some fell on the birds and beasts, attuning their spirituality, and some fell on them. In the trees, it merges with the locust tree, and some falls into the soil, gestating infinite vitality in the earth.

The law is sought from the world.

Huai Xu thought, if someone can see the moon and obtain the Dharma, and cultivate the pure and flawless moon dharma, he will definitely become the top master in the world.

Huai Xu glanced at Bai Xianzhi, and found that his whole body was surrounded by the moonlight. Knowing that he was enlightening the Dharma, he couldn't help being stunned. Maybe, Bai Xianzhi could cultivate the appearance of the Taiyin Dharma, bright and bright.

Huai Xu didn't bother him, nor did he disturb the happy crowd, he returned to the Sutra Pavilion, back to his real body.

The old locust tree with vigorous branches has also begun to decline, and the locust tree is deciduous.

Harvesting in autumn and storing in winter, all the power is dormant, accumulating power, and new life is born from the silence and death.

There are no plants and trees in the six realms of reincarnation, but plants and trees understand reincarnation better than any living being.One spring and one autumn are samsara, and one life is samsara.The world is a circle, and samsara is also a circle, going round and round and going round and round.

In the Montenegro, the fine and dense roots are spreading and wriggling, penetrating the soil, penetrating the stone, and growing on the mountain bone.When all the trees start to wither, the tree falls asleep and becomes a part of the mountain, and when the tree wakes up, the mountain becomes a part of the tree.

Emperor Liuzhi, once a year, attuned the world's monsters. At this moment, Huai Xu's monster nature broke out, but his spiritual wisdom was unprecedentedly clear, and the mysteries of the world were slowly revealed before his eyes.

The spirit returned to the body, and the grass puppet covered with human skin was like a fruit on a tree, suspended in the air by a tree vine.

The roots of the old locust tree spread across the Black Mountain, covering the entire mountain, and are still covering the surrounding mountains. The branches and leaves are shaking, as if they are catching the moonlight and the wind.

On the main trunk of the locust tree, a bulge gradually appeared, like a tree tumor, and like a placenta, with some extremely subtle rhythms.

At dawn, the bright moon disappears, but the bustling forest seems to be cooling down, gradually becoming silent.Occasionally, only birds and small animals sing softly.

Bai Xianzhi came to look for Huaixu, and when he got under the locust tree, he saw Huaixu fall from the tree, twisted his neck, and a few leaves stuck to his snow-white clothes.

Bai Xianzhi's face turned red, he looked into Huai Xu's eyes, and said, "Senior brother, did you rest well last night?"

Huai Xu stretched his waist and said, "I haven't slept all night, but I still have enough energy."

Bai Xianzhi said: "That's good."

Huai Xu took him back to the temple to change his clothes, seeing that Huai Xu was about to close the door, Bai Xianzhi called out, "Senior Brother..."

"what happened?"

"No...it's nothing, you have a good rest." Bai Xianzhi turned and left, both ears were red.

Bai Xianzhi wondered if he wanted to tell his brother that he was the essence of Montenegro, and his body was also transformed by the essence of Montenegro.Although people are born as humans, mountains and humans are one.

"If I tell him, he will definitely not want to put it on me again."

Thinking of the strange feeling when the roots of the tree wrapped the whole mountain and the breaths flowed together, if he hadn't been caught in the moon phase at that time and couldn't extricate himself, Bai Xian would have made a fool of himself.

Just overnight, Bai Xianzhi seemed to have grown up again, from twelve or thirteen years old to fifteen or sixteen years old.It is the age when the sinus is first opened, the time when the blood is full.

Bai Xianzhi has joys and sorrows, it is the secret and treasure hidden, he is both happy and afraid of being discovered.

Bai Xianzhi's goal of telling Huai Xu to take a good rest is impossible to achieve, and Zhai Yangsheng begs to see him.

Changing into black clothes painted with gold, Huai Xu came to see Zhai Yangsheng.Zhai Yangsheng was dressed in snow-white feathers, his eyes were clear and piercing, and when he was put together with the white ape, he was somewhat similar.

Bai Xianzhi said: "Why is the little Taoist looking for me?"

Zhai Yangsheng said: "I heard that the king wants to find a teacher to teach the juniors, and Xiaosheng wants to try."

"Interesting, my mountain is full of goblins and ghosts, they are not children of ordinary people, you want to try?"

Zhai Yangsheng nodded seriously.

Huai Xu took a look at him, stretched out his hand to touch the teacup, and a drop of water popped out, turning into a water mirror in the air.

Zhai Yangcheng saw his appearance through the water mirror, his eyes widened immediately, his face was full of disbelief and fear, and he said: "This is a monster! I have become a monster!"

Huai Xu chuckled and said, "Although you are not a monster, what is the difference between being with monsters and monsters?"

Zhai Yangcheng retorted: "I am a human being, so I naturally know, so how can I be a monster?"

Huai Xu said: "Yes, since you know that you are a human, why do you care whether you are a monster in the eyes of others? Could it be that if others think you are a monster, you are not a human?"

Zhai Yangcheng's initial fear and grief were interrupted quietly by Huai Xu, and he couldn't help thinking.

Huai Xu said: "Actually, you have not become a monster. What you are practicing is the White Ape Swallowing Qi Technique, which is a method of breathing that Zhenxiu learned from the White Ape in ancient times. Drinking clear springs, swallowing the sun and the moon , serve the white jade elite, refine the unconstrained nature."

Zhai Yangcheng said: "I didn't become a monster?"

Huai Xu said: "Of course you are not a monster. If you want to become a human being, you can go down the mountain and eat a few meals of human fireworks to break the White Ape's skills, and you will naturally return to your original appearance."

Zhai Yangsheng said: "What's the reason? Why did the senior who created this technique want to become an ape?"

Huai Xu pointed at him and said, "Why do you want to get along with monsters?"

Zhai Yangcheng suddenly understood, and even lost his mind.It turns out that the ups and downs and troubles in the world are not new. There are even such seniors who don't even want to be human. They just want to go back to the mountains and be an ape, unfettered and carefree.

Huai Xu pointed out the origin of the White Ape Kungfu, and understood his intentions a little bit. He put the rest of the White Ape Kung Fu on the table and said, "This mountain is full of spiritual food. You can enjoy it. If you make up your mind to keep it , This is the follow-up technique of White Ape Kung Fu, if you want to leave, just go down the mountain by yourself."

Huai Xu left, but Zhai Yangcheng couldn't calm down at all. He looked at himself in the water mirror, covered with feathers, his face was like an ape, his eyes were crystal clear, he really looked like an ape in the mountains.

Huai Xu wasn't worried that Zhai Yangsheng would leave, he couldn't go against his own will.It wasn't that Huai Xu lured him into Taoism, but that he already had a desire to be born, but Huai Xu pointed it out.

Sure enough, after breakfast, Zhai Yangcheng read all the White Ape's merits, found Huai Xu again, and said, "I want to stay."

Huai Xu smiled slightly, the young man was dressed in black, with a gentle temperament, containing everything he could tolerate.

"Then stay, my child of Montenegro, and I will let you teach it."

From the second day, tables, chairs and benches were placed in the open space in front of the Sutra Pavilion, and even Huai Xu opened the Sutra Pavilion to Zhai Yangsheng for use as a school.

Many of the little monsters in Montenegro don’t have a form, they can only take form, and some can’t even take form. Think of the deer boy with antlers and deer legs, the fox girl with ears and tail, and the crane boy with a mouth and wings. , and even came to listen to the class in the appearance of a rabbit or a tiger.

Zhai Yangcheng felt uneasy, facing the eyes of countless curious babies, Zhai Yangcheng took a deep breath and said, "Let's learn the first word, this word is heaven."

Heaven and earth are dark yellow, the universe is prehistoric.

This is a thousand-character text.

The little demon is listening, the locust tree is listening, every tree on the Black Mountain is listening.

Enlightenment is enlightenment.

The Master went to Montenegro, and there was a school and a group of students.

[-]. Jin*jiang* published exclusively, come to *Jin*jiang to see me

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, things gradually got on the right track. Rong Niang took Xiaodie, Xiaoqian, and Xiaosang back to Jinhua to open a shop.

Xiao Sang was reluctant when he left, and shouted that the king is not kind, and he hid his skills and refused to teach others.What she was talking about was Huai Xu's dance for offering sacrifices to the gods. She used it once when offering sacrifices to the underworld, and once again when offering sacrifices to the moon. She only taught them to sing but refused to teach them to dance.

Huai Xu drove Xiao Sang away with a dark face.

It's nothing more than offering sacrifices to the underworld, but he shouldn't be doing such things as offering sacrifices to the moon.Sacrifice to the moon must be a beautiful girl to please the moon god.The Moon God is pure and pure, and doesn't like men. If it wasn't for the fact that the girls didn't have one who specializes in Taiyin, and Bai Xianzhi is a pure boy, Huai Xu wouldn't rush the ducks to the shelves and do it himself.

Fortunately, Luna doesn't care about the sex of a tree.Otherwise, it is impossible to say whether it is a blessing or a punishment.

Huai Xu said: "When you become Fei Tian, ​​you will be able to dance better than anyone else."

Although Xiao Sang was skeptical, she still knew that flying was good at dancing, so she was so happy that she practiced more and more attentively.

Rong Niang covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "Not only can you dance, but you can also sing."

Xiao Sang blushed, she wanted to learn to dance, but it was because of Huai Xu's incomparable and thrilling beauty when dancing, how could she think so much.

Song and dance, the way to entertain the gods.In other words, it is the way of civilization.Fuxi and Nuwa are the ancestors of civilization, and civilization has been inseparable from singing and dancing from the very beginning.

There is no distinction between high and low in Taoism, and in the depths, they all lead to the same goal.

Xiaodie looked at Xiaosang holding back her strength, and she also covered her mouth and chuckled. She glanced at Huai Xu quietly, her fingers on her left hand drooped, and she grabbed a ray of spiritual energy out of thin air, turned it into a red flower, and stuck it on her temple. .

When Huai Xu saw her, he knew that she had also mastered the third level of the Yunxiangfei Immortal Sutra quietly.

Huai Xu glanced at Xiaoqian, who blessed her body and smiled softly.

Huai Xu nodded. The person who misses the world the most is the most gentle Xiaoqian. Thirty percent of Lan Ruoxiang's business is done by Xiaoqian. Her familiarity and dedication in the world is far better than when she was on the mountain. much.

Everyone has their own ambitions, maybe one day, this girl will leave Montenegro and find her own way.

The carriage drove to Jinhua, and Bai Xianzhi went out to continue begging for Huaixu. Huaixu carved jade plaques in his spare time, and followed the movements of the Yasha gods sent out. Until the end of the year, Rong Niang sent a letter asking him to go to Jinhua.

Yan Chixia, who had suffered a lot, learned from the painful experience and wanted to go back to the mountains to learn a powerful Taoism before coming to trouble Huai Xu. She didn't say anything about killing demons and demons, but her face was swept away and she wanted to get it back.

It stands to reason that no one should come to make trouble.

In fact, no one really came to ask for trouble.

This time it was an old acquaintance who came to ask for help, Rong Niang couldn't refuse, so she sent a letter to ask Huai Xu's opinion.

Lady Lingyue, Mrs. Yu, who was married as a married woman, used the pretext of buying the Moon Pearl to see that she left a note for Xiaosang and dragged Xiaosang to hand it over to Huai Xu.

Rong Niang couldn't just disturb Huai Xu's cleanliness, after reading the contents of the note, she decided to ask Huai Xu to make up her mind.

Wang Chengzhong changed his mind.

If it's just a change of heart, Mrs. Yu, whose body has been sent back to the Niangniang Temple, can go away.Madam Yu suspected that someone was doing something wrong. Madam Yu never doubted Wang Chengzhong's sincerity. How could a good person change his mind when he said he would change his mind.

Husband and wife sometimes have a bond of affection.

Wang Chengzhong lingered on the boat, and became the guest of Miss Bailian on the Caiyun boat.

Wang Chengzhong is just one of Miss Bailian's guests.This strange woman was born to be beautiful and famous all over the southeast province. I don't know how many big people fell in love with her, but no one embraced her as a beauty.

That's right, Miss Bailian is a showman rather than a woman.It was even rumored that a painting of Bai Lian was circulated on the black market, and it cost a thousand taels of gold to get it.

Wang Chengzhong had seen this Bailian girl before, but he had never liked her, and for some reason, he suddenly became obsessed, and his thoughts were all on this woman.

Wang Chengzhong looks normal, and he never slackens his official duties. He also wants to take a rest while going to Caiyunfang to see Miss Bailian.

Apart from not loving Mrs. Yu, there is nothing unusual.

Mrs. Yu explained in the letter that Wang Chengzhong had sent someone to monitor her, and she was not even allowed to go out on weekdays.She tried all means, even the means of the gods, but she didn't find out that there was anything wrong with Wang Chengzhong.

Everything was normal except that the relationship between them seemed to be blown away by the wind.

Normally, Mrs. Yu was too frightened to leave Jinhua.

Rong Niang said: "It seems that there is no problem, but no problem is the biggest problem."

Huai Xu put the note on the candle and burned it, saying: "Yeah, it's so normal, it's really interesting. Help me to ask her to meet."

Rong Niang said: "Your Majesty wants to take action? This matter has nothing to do with us."

Huai Xu said quietly: "What in the world is a coincidence? I have long since disbelieved that there is nothing that happens around me that has nothing to do with me."

Rong Niang was puzzled.

Huai Xu didn't explain and asked her to contact Mrs. Yu.

"Miss Bailian...what an old-fashioned name."

He is so old-fashioned that he doesn't think he's a good person.

Madam Yu asked for help, and the next day she found an excuse to go out and went to Lan Ruoxiang.

Huai Xu sniffled, and his eyes suddenly changed.

Madam Yu said, "What's the matter, do I smell anything?"

Huai Xu raised the corners of his mouth, his smile was a little cold, and he said, "It's nothing."

Madam Yu came in a hurry, and there was not much time, so she kept a long story short and explained what happened, and said: "My lord, I always feel that something is wrong and I can't handle it. Please help me, Your lord."

Huai Xu said: "If you don't tell me, I will help you too. You said that the prefect changed a month ago?"

Mrs. Yu smiled wryly: "He never went to the place of painting boats. A month ago, the inspectors came and asked to see Miss Bailian and asked him to accompany him. When he left, he said to me, 'That Miss Bailian It's nothing special, how can it make people lose their minds? I see, it's not as good as my wife.'"

As Madam Yu spoke, there was a bit of moisture in her eyes.The lover who has been with her day and night suddenly forgets her. This feeling is far more sad than losing an important item, and it is also far more sad than being hurt.

"But when he came back, he suddenly didn't know me. He still called me Mrs., but there was no love in his eyes anymore. He would sleep on my bed, but he wouldn't do anything to me. He called me Mrs. , as if an irrelevant person was singing an opera."

Huai Xu said: "Singing also requires emotion."

"He didn't. He's an empty shell, a puppet." Madam Yu said through gritted teeth, "Except for Miss Bailian. I followed him secretly. He was like a dog in Miss Bailian's boudoir!"

"How dare she! How dare she treat him like this!" Madam Yu opened her eyes wide, tears welled up in her eyes, and cried, "My husband is a humble gentleman, he knows virtue and respects proprieties, and is kind and generous. How could she trample him like this..."

Madam Yu bit her lips hard, forced herself to hold back her weakness, and said, "I want to kill her, but every time I want to make a move, the killing intent will fade away. Once you're around her, you'll forget about it."

"She can't be an ordinary person."

Huai Xu asked, "Aside from the prefect, inspector, and Bai Lian, were there other people at the banquet that day?"

Madam Yu was startled, and said, "This... I don't know."

Huai Xu nodded and said, "Where is the inspector now?"

Madam Yu said, "I have already set off for Jinling a few days ago."

"Jinling..." Huai Xu tapped his fingers and said, "Forget it, I'm going to explore the bottom of Bailian tonight, so be careful."

Huai Xu asked many more details, and Madam Yu answered everything that Madam Yu could answer, and after a while, attendants from the prefect's mansion came looking for them.

Huai Xu avoids behind the scenes, and replaces Xiao Sang with Mrs. Yu chatting.The attendant whispered something in Madam Yu's ear, Madam Yu turned pale with anger, and left with the attendant.

Huai Xu could clearly hear what the attendant said: "My lord, if you still want to read about husband and wife, don't make it difficult for him."

As much love as there is now, there is as much harm as there is.

Huai Xu lowered his eyes.

After Madam Yu left, Huai Xu went to see the prefect.Naturally, they didn't meet face to face, but just glanced vaguely through the window sill, sniffed, and left with squinted eyes.

Huai Xu went to find a helper.It was his old enemy Shuiyuean Miaodi Zen Master who he found.

Zen Master Miaodi's Shuiyue Nunnery is located in Xiaojingtan outside Jinhua City. Xiaojingtan looks like a full moon, with no wind or waves, smooth as a mirror.

It is said that during the full moon, you can see your past and present life in Xiaojingtan, and it is also said that you can see your own soul. Huai Xu went to Xiaojingtan unabashedly, and the nuns in Xiaojingtan were shocked.When the bell rang, the whole nunnery was on alert.

In fact, Huai Xu didn't have the guts to be violent in Shuiyue Nunnery, not to mention that he had received the Dharma of the Great Master, even the Patriarch Hall in Shuiyue Nunnery was not something he could deal with.

Huai Xu was holding an umbrella, a black umbrella with scarlet stripes, and the person under the umbrella had handsome features as if they were heavenly beings.

The nuns in Shuiyue Temple in front of him had already set up their sword formations and were about to subdue demons.

"Let him in."

The voice of Zen Master Miaodi came from the Buddhist hall.

Huai Xu chuckled, and put the umbrella back into his sleeve.With a nice smile and not a vicious face, the little nuns blushed suddenly.

Pushing aside the Buddhist hall and entering, Huai Xu put three sticks of incense on the Guanyin statue in the middle.

Zen Master Miaodi looked at the wooden fish, knelt down in front of the statue of Guanyin, stopped chanting, and asked softly, "What are you doing here?"

Huai Xu's slender tassel of Zizai beads hung down from his right wrist, and said, "Please help."

Zen Master Miaodi paused for a moment, then began to knock on the wooden fish and chant scriptures again, refusing to join forces with demons.

Huai Xu didn't care, and said, "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have come to you."

Chan Master Miaodi still didn't speak, and didn't want to pay attention.

Huai Xu explained the ins and outs of the matter clearly, and said: "I went to see the prefect, and after a long distance, I smelled a stench that was disgusting to the bone. Of course, I smelled a stench. In other people's noses, it must be a stench. sandalwood."

Huai Xu lowered his eyes, twitched the beads of freedom, and said: "At the beginning of Buddhism, he was renamed Jinxian, and the way of practice merged with Buddhism and Taoism. However, although Buddhism is profound, it is the most vulnerable to evil. In particular, there is a secret treasure, which is taken from The monk treasure is also the nemesis of Buddhism."

"It's called Buddha Oil."

Bang——

The sound of the wooden fish suddenly stopped, and a gust of wind hung out of nowhere in the Buddhist hall, blowing out all the incense candles. The suddenly darkened Buddhist hall seemed to have a strong smell of blood, and there seemed to be a sharp cry extending from the darkness , Weird and terrifying.
