I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Without him, this kid looks too much like him.

From the eyebrows to the nose, it was almost the same as that carved out of his mold, and the silly father immediately froze in mid-air, momentarily at a loss what to do.

It is still spring, and the temperature in the mountains is low. This little monk is wearing a yellow monk robe with several small patches on the hem. Because of the thin clothes, his fingers are red from the cold. Zhou Lin is so distressed that he can't wait to rush Go down and snatch the bucket, but fortunately he still has reason, children have light souls, it would be bad if he bumped into Jiaer.

But Zhou Lin felt really distressed when he saw it. Are all the monks in this courtyard dead?Let a five-year-old child carry such a big bucket of water out to water the flowers, how can I be merciful?It's all fake!

Zhou Lin was clearly angry at the Buddhist sect. Seeing the little monk was about to fall, he immediately blew a gust of wind to stabilize the child.

He wiped the sweat off his brow, and started to move the bucket again. The silly father was so anxious that he was about to turn into a breeze to carry the bucket for his son, when he saw his son fall to the ground in shock, and the bucket slammed Rolling to the ground, his ghost image was actually reflected in the small pupils.

Zhou Lin backed away in fright, did he subconsciously reveal his figure?

At the moment when the silly father was in a daze, the little monk was so frightened that he left the wooden barrel and fled into the temple. Good guy, the smooth closing and locking of the door is obviously not the first time he has done it.

……what happened?

Zhou Lin froze in place, he didn't show his ghost body, why could Jiaer see him? !

"You said you found Jia'er, and he can still see ghosts? Is he born with yin and yang eyes?" Cheng Jin couldn't help shouting in his heart, good guy, this life experience is really bizarre.

Zhou Lin nodded in pain: "What should I do? He must have seen me!"

Cheng Jin didn't quite understand the mental journey of the silly father: "If you see it, you will see it, what else do you want?"

Zhou Lin was at a loss for words, and then continued to shut himself up with his head in his arms.

Thanks to his senior brother's name, the Tianshui county magistrate acted very quickly, and not all the Li family members were as tough as Mrs. Li, so the case of changing sons soon became clear.

The child who was raised as Zhou Jia in the Lin family was indeed the grandson of Mrs. Li, and also the second son of her only son, Li Da.Li Da is cowardly, and his wife is also soft-tempered. The couple were pinched to death by Mrs. Li, and they didn't show any resistance when they said that they changed their sons.

"After Mrs. Li changed her child at Wanfu Temple, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li took her back to raise her for a few months. But Mrs. Li was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so she lied to the outside world that the child died young. In fact, she was thrown into the mountains by her." Ancient Children The premature death rate is very high, so no one doubts Mrs. Li's words.

Hearing this, Zhou Lin wanted to go to the prison to "take care of" Mrs. Li again.

"Oh, by the way, there is also the expert who pointed out Mrs. Li. Although she kept silent, Da Li couldn't stand it. He said that he had heard Mrs. Li Zeng Gong call her Master Wang." After Cheng Jin finished speaking, from He took out a profile of Master Wang from his arms, "According to Li Da's description, this person should roughly look like this."

Zhou Lin immediately looked up and felt that this was different from a beggar, but he looked at Junior Brother Cheng's expression strangely: "Don't you...recognize this person?"

Cheng Jin only felt that the malice was much stronger. Facing the eyes of Zhou Lin and Hei Lulu, he heard his own voice: "I really know a Taoist priest whose surname is Wang and looks like a beggar."

Heishan had never met Wang Chicheng before, but he quickly realized: "The one in your prison?"

Cheng Jin shook his head: "To be more precise, Li Yong has now taken over the care."

Heishan's face was quite stinky: "You shouldn't stop me from killing him."

When magistrate Cheng heard it, he actually felt a little regretful, this old guy was more able to play tricks on people's hearts than he thought.If this really allowed Granny Li to succeed, wouldn't it really allow her to get what she wanted, and even bring a fake Zhou Jia to Beijing to deceive his senior brother.

Although Cheng Jin knew in his heart that with his senior brother's cleverness, he would definitely be able to see that Mrs. Li was hiding a traitor, but it was easy to hide a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow, and I was afraid that Taoism's treacherous methods would emerge one after another.

The more Cheng Jin thought about it, the more frightened he became: "Fortunately, Jiayi sent the letter to the capital in time, master, if this crazy Taoist is really Wang Chicheng, what exactly is he going to do?"

Montenegro also couldn't figure it out, but things about lunatics in this world are not always logical, so they can only talk about it later.

Zhou's stupid father had enough of being autistic, and finally found his own voice: "Junior Brother Cheng, can I trouble you to go to the Wanfu Temple in the mountains outside the city."

Cheng Jin was surprised: "Is it actually Wanfu Temple?"

At the beginning, Zhou Jia was born in Wanfu Temple, but after going around in the hands of Mrs. Li, he returned to Wanfu Temple. Could this be the legendary fate with Buddha?

"Tianshui Town is small, and there is only one temple."

Then if the family members of rich businessmen and women in this town go to worship Buddha, the incense money should not be bad, right?Why is the life of the little monk so pitiful under Zhou Lin's description?

Cheng Jin was puzzled, but a little curious: "It's not difficult, but just now you said that Wanfu Temple is full of Buddha's light, so I'm afraid I can go there alone."

This is either a ghost or a demon, and it is insulated from the Buddha at first sight.

Zhou Lin & Montenegro: ... Oh.

Now that he agreed, and his confidantes followed up on the case of exchanging children and Lin Ba Niang's case, Cheng Jin changed back into his clothes and set off for Wanfu Temple.

"If there is danger, notify this seat immediately."

"rest assured."

Tianshui Town is not big. Although Wanfu Temple is in the mountains, it is not remote. Under Zhou Lin's guidance, Cheng Jin quickly saw the gate of Wanfu Temple.

It is worth mentioning that there are a lot of flowers and plants planted near the mountain gate. Because it is spring, they are lush and beautiful.At this moment, there are even monks who set up lottery stalls to relieve the worries of past pilgrims.

"It looks quite lively. Haven't the Lin family ever come to Wanfu Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha?"

Zhou Lin couldn't answer, and felt puzzled, but Cheng Jin quickly started talking to an old woman based on his amiable appearance. During the conversation, he was able to explain why the Lin family didn't come to Wanfu Temple.

"Supposedly it's not easy to tell this matter to a foreigner like you, but the old lady saw that you have a good face, so she said a few words." After the aunt finished speaking, she pulled someone to the side and lowered her voice, "There is a girl from the Lin family who married Jinshiro, you still have to run to Wanfu Temple when you have such a big belly, look at the mountain road here, ordinary people can just walk, but if you let a mother who is as old as one month come up, there will be trouble."

Cheng Jin was horrified at the right time: "There is such a thing?"

"It happened five or six years ago. When the girl from the Lin family entered the Buddhist temple, she felt bad on the spot. In this pure place of Buddhism, it is taboo for a woman to see blood during childbirth, let alone dying of dystocia. Oh, Lin family At that time, people were sent to make a fuss, and the abbot came out, saying that the Lin family would not be allowed to come to Wanfu Temple in the future."

When Zhou Lin next to him heard this, he hated the Lin family even more.

When Cheng Jin hurriedly said Amitabha, he was a little puzzled and said, "Then this lady has such a big belly, why does she still come to worship Buddha?"

The aunt had a secretive expression on her face: "Who knows, but I heard that she had a nightmare, saying that she saw her husband being assassinated in the dream, and she insisted on asking the Bodhisattva to bless her. It's quite pitiful. I heard that her Xianggong is gone this year, there is only one child left, and I don’t know what to do in the future.”

There were many taboos in ancient times. This child without father and mother would often be criticized by rumors. When Cheng Jinchuan came here and hadn't shown his skills, he was often criticized by the villagers.

Cheng Jin sighed with the aunt, and went to burn a stick of incense together, and then said that he was going to take a casual walk to see the scenery in the mountains.

"My aunt saw that you were a polite scholar. The mountains are steep after this, so don't go too deep."

Naturally, Cheng Jin would not reject this kindness.

After leaving the Daxiong Hall, he walked back from the Zen courtyard on the left. The Wanfu Temple has a winding path leading to secluded places. Although it is not as majestic and solemn as the Dafo Temple, it also has a sense of Zen.

Cheng Jin walked casually, met many novice monks on the road, all of them were dressed decently, although the monk clothes on his body were not brand new, they were neat and clean, without any patches or holes.

So at which door did Zhou Lin meet little Zhou Jia?back door?

But the monk's house at the back is the monk's own place, and the pilgrims are not allowed to pass by. Cheng Jin didn't stay here for too long, and went back to the front from the right. It's not that there are no young monks, but none of them looks like Zhou Lin. resemblance.

"Hey, little master stay here."

"Amitabha, I wonder if there is something wrong with this benefactor?"

This small child is so cute when he recites the Buddha's gatha, Cheng Jin squatted down and said, "Does your temple serve fasting meals? I'm tired from walking, and I'm a little hungry."

"The almsgiver please come with the monk."

Cheng Jin stood up and followed the young monk, chatted casually, said that the peach blossoms in the mountain temple were in good bloom, and said that the scenery was beautiful, and said, "Little master is so qualitative, the little monk in your temple Are they all the same as you?"

The little monk frowned slightly when he heard the words: "Also please be careful with your words."

"To be honest, when I came down to Wanfu Temple, I was actually looking for a child for an old friend. I wonder if the little master can recommend Master Abbot?" In fact, when he first entered Wanfu Temple, he tried to communicate with the monks in the Daxiong Hall, but he was helpless. Muyu was too focused and ignored him at all.

So now, you can only lie to children.

Hearing this, the little master frowned even deeper: "Almsgiver, there are only monks in the temple, and there are no children of your old friend."

Just as Cheng Jin was about to speak again, he heard an old monk's voice behind him: "To promote the Dharma, don't be rude to others."

It turned out that the young monk was called Hongfa. Cheng Jin looked up and saw an old monk in a treasured robe walking slowly. The solemnity of the monk's clothes showed that he had a high status in the temple.

"Yes, Master."

The old monk came over with a benevolent smile on his face: "Fu Yuan, old monk, pay homage to the benefactor."

Fortune?Isn't that the dharma name of the presiding abbot of Wanfu Temple?This little monk is unusual, he is actually the abbot's apprentice, Cheng Jin immediately returned the gift: "Late Cheng Jin, pay homage to the abbot master."

"You don't need to be too polite, please invite Master Cheng to come with me."
