Countryside Rhapsody

After seeing off the overjoyed Qin Boran, Fu Tingfang could finally return to her original appearance. Sitting where Qin Boran was sitting just now, Fu Tingfang kept looking at the proud landlord who was meditating.

Two completely different auras emanate from Ziziyilou's body, one is icy cold, and the other is warm and warm. The interweaving of the two auras makes the pattern of life released by the Ziziyilou show a wonderful scene of coexistence of hundreds of flowers and white snow.

"Landlord, tell the truth, what does the consistent money just now mean?"

Fu Tingfang doesn't believe that Deyilou is really the kind of person who regards money as dung. If Deyilou really has no ambitions, how can the business of Chunfeng Deyilou spread to every corner of the four continents.

He is obviously a monk, but he is forced to work hard in this vanity fair, and he doesn't even have time to meditate and chant scriptures. He always feels that the mountain gate is getting farther and farther away from him.

He has complained to Deyizhu many times, strongly condemned Deyilou's abuse of labor, and even fought hard for his rights as a monk, but he never succeeded.

After working hard once, twice, thrice, the proprietor proudly sent him a sentence, "Heart is bitter and sentimental in the world of mortals, but I am sad and sad in the mountain gate" clearly reminding him that he is just a lay disciple.

Therefore, based on what he knew about the nature of the proud landlord, Fu Tingfang did not believe that the proud landlord really didn't care about gold, silver and jewelry at all.

"Huh?" The proud landlord was very puzzled: "What is the meaning of my words?"

"What I'm talking about is, the landlord, I'm afraid your words are not what Mr. Qin understands?"

"What is Mr. Qin's understanding?"

"... Bells, drums, food and jade are not expensive ①, although a rich family is expensive, it is not as good as poor. ②"

"What do I mean?" The owner of Deyi was taken aback: "Since when did I feel that money is not important?! Chunfeng Deyi Building has always been my pride, and the combined financial resources of the four great families are not as good as the five points of my Chunfeng Deyi Building." one."

"so……"

"Lord Tingfang, what I have is a vast and boundless starry sky, why should I give up the starry sky and choose the ocean to drink from?"

"Lord, I strongly demand a salary increase!" Fu Tingfang was so angry when he heard Deyi's words, if he were to choose who is the richest person in Yulong Dynasty, Deyi's landlord must be on the list and ranked among the top three, but he worked hard For the support of Deyilou, what Deyilou gets is only one-thousandth of the income of Deyilou.

"Huh?" The proud landlord frowned: "Didn't you just get a salary increase?"

"I want a salary increase!" Fu Tingfang was very unhappy, very unhappy: "I planted ten thousand hectares of fertile land for you, and you gave me a bag of rice!"

"Lord Tingfang, you are a monk, and your true nature is to have nothing outside of yourself and care about the world." The proud landlord fully demonstrated the eloquence of an iron rooster: "Your master will be sad if you are so sticky to dung. If you can't be determined and ruthless, how can you get through this world of mortals and go to the Western Paradise?"

"I want to go on strike!" Fu Tingfang didn't want to listen to the landlord's thoughts at all. A stingy person like the landlord only raised his salary once a year, and only raised it by 5.00%. Compared with his work intensity, Deyi The landlord is simply a slave owner!

"I choose to strike!"

"Lord Tingfang, wait a minute, you and I are grasshoppers on the same boat now, and my place is half leaking, and you can't go ashore!" The proud landlord said quickly: "Our proud landlord's everlasting foundation will never be without you Selfless dedication."

"..."

"Even if you are just a lay disciple, you are still a monk. You are compassionate and put the world first, Amitabha, Amitabha!"

Fu Tingfang, who was so pissed off by the proud landlord that he couldn't say a word, turned his back angrily. Now he was angry when he saw the proud landlord's face, so he could only recite the "Heart Sutra" in his heart over and over again to comfort himself that it must be The Buddha's test for him, Tang Sanzang only obtained the scriptures after 81, [-], [-] difficulties, but he is a proud landlord, and he must not break the precepts.

As the moonlight fell, Fu Tingfang gradually fell into a samadhi and dived into an empty and mysterious world. Her spirit was ethereal and void, and her body weight was gradually forgotten. in front of my eyes.

The Dharma is solemn, the sandalwood is burned, and the sound of chanting scriptures is played together with the morning bell and evening drum, which cleanses away the dust and dirt of the soul and transcends troubles.

Sitting cross-legged on the cloud, holding a flower finger and clasping Buddhist beads, Fu Tingfang recited similar scriptures, a tear flowed from his eyes and across his face, even he himself didn't know why.

Tears fell on his body, and the bronze cauldron, which was as heavy as a thousand catties, trembled all over his body, and he opened his eyes suddenly, where did the Yunhai Tiangong come from?

"Are you crying?" The proud landlord has already changed into a suit of luggage, and he is dressed in black again, only showing a pair of eyes, just like in the past, as if Shengxue in white clothes during the day is a dream.

"Lord, your outfit is really ugly." Fu Tingfang didn't want to think about emotions that even he didn't understand, so he deliberately changed the subject.

"Really?" The proud landlord didn't care, put on the black gloves on the table, and looked ready to go out: "I'm going out for a while, you can come too."

Fu Tingfang watched Deyizhu turn into a black crow again, and she also turned into a white falcon, and flew out of the window with Deyilou, disappearing into the dark night.

The proud host hovered several times over Chongguling, and then landed on the roof of the house where the two sisters, Shen Jiaozhen and Shen Jiaozhu, were imprisoned, observing the situation of the two sisters inside through the gap.

Fu Tingfang looked at the two sisters lying on the thatched grass and sighed in her heart. Everyone has demons in their hearts, and the proud landlord has become the biggest demon in their hearts.

After investigating the situation of the two sisters, the proud landlord flapped his wings again and made an unpleasant crow cry. Fu Tingfang didn't understand why the proud landlord wanted to disturb the people in the middle of the night, and flew behind her in pain. Dazzling, she seemed to see Shen Jiaozhu open her eyes.

Before she had time to confirm whether she was dazzled, the proud landlord had already flown away, so Fu Tingfang had no choice but to speed up, leaving the two sisters Shen Jiaozhen and Shen Jiaozhu behind.

Shen Jiaozhu, who was woken up, bit her lip, her eyes had no color other than hatred, seeing Shen Jiaozhen who was protecting her by her side, she wanted to raise it to Shen Jiaozhen's temple several times. hand, and stopped several times.

Since their mission failed, there is only one person who can survive.

Back then Shen Jiaozhen was the most powerful, so she was able to linger until now. In her dreams, she was always recalling Xie Fangchen's look in his eyes.

When her mouth was gagged by herbs and she couldn't help opening her eyes, Shen Jiaozhu saw Xie Fangchen's eyes clearly, she was laughing at herself, this realization made Shen Jiaozhu furious.

What right does Xie Fangchen have to laugh at herself?She was supposed to be just a ghost under their plan!

The Lingchu and Qin clans, and the four great aristocratic families should only be stepping stones for the Lord.

Shen Jiaozhu exerted great effort to mobilize the spiritual power in her body, a bright green pearl came out of Shen Jiaozhu's hand, crushing the pearl sent out a signal, from then on, Chongguling no longer existed in the world.

Betray her, and she will make them taste the taste of death.

She wants to use the villagers' bones to refine soul-destroyers to take revenge on the four great families. She wants to kill Xie Fangchen herself and make her her own puppet, her slave forever!

Hatred has become Shen Jiaozhu's best stimulant, she fantasizes about the bloody massacre scene in the village after the army of Wan Guizong arrives, she wants to cut off Xie Fangchen's head herself, dig out her eyes and make a necklace , Let her watch how he can replace her as the pearl of the Qin family and the nightmare of the four great families.

She, Shen Jiaozhu, was never a 12-year-old girl, she was an evil spirit who came back from the future!

Just when Shen Jiaozhu's hatred was at its peak, a piercing crow pierced her sea of ​​consciousness like a sharp needle, and the severe pain swept over like a huge wave. The waking up just now seemed to be just a dream, except Fragmented green light all over the ground.

Fu Tingfang flew into a cave with the proud landlord, and the originally pitch-black cave suddenly burst into flames. The torches hanging on both sides of the cave were lit one after another, and in front of Fu Tingfang was a painting of Pangbo carved on the rock. .

From the beginning of the sky to the flood, Fu Tingfang recognized the stories told by the rock murals. As they got farther and farther away from the entrance of the cave, the content of the stories gradually became unfamiliar to Fu Tingfang. The murals behind it told the story of an ancient tribe. In the ups and downs, they worship the ghost king and live in a paradise with the other six major tribes.

One day, a sudden war swept across that place, and the seven major tribes were torn apart and rifts arose. The patriarch of this tribe left the place where he used to live with the remnants of his tribe in despair. Chongguling established a new home.

They still regard the ghost king as their god, and they still receive the blessing of the ghost king. At the end of the mural, there is an image of the ghost king sitting cross-legged, and there are four fire balls of different colors around the ghost king. Two characters, and the two fire balls above are the two characters of heaven and earth.

In front of the glaring statue of the ghost king is the end of the cave. Under the light of the torch, you can see that there is a small altar under the statue of the ghost king. On the altar is a bronze tripod for incense. With the word Tianhuang.

The proud host picked up three pitch-black incense sticks from the table beside him, inserted them into the tripod after lighting the fire, and kowtowed three times: "Burning the incense upwards, the ghost king will open his eyes."

The cave suddenly trembled violently, and Fu Tingfang went on to watch the glaring statue of the ghost king gradually disappear from the painted wall, the altar sank, and a door was opened from the inside out.

The cold wind whistling, suddenly there was a little light in the endless blackness, and then a little bit more, the bright lights lit up one after another, the proud host took the lead and walked onto the long bridge invisible in the light.

"Lord Tingfang, remember not to look back."
