Chapter 386 Fahai "Bu Dongai"

In front of a row of food stalls outside the private school building, Lin Ge and Fahai sat in front of the "Xinji Porridge Shop" stall, enjoying the town's famous "delicious" late-night snack - meat porridge.

Looking at the row of stalls with "Xinji" hanging on them and the "gruel" that you can jump into and swim in, Lin Ge couldn't help but complain: "Boss, you are going too far with this meat porridge. Can you give me some of this?" If you find a piece of meat, I will call your bowl of porridge 'meat porridge'."

The boss sat on a chair with his legs crossed, looking towards the restaurant on the other side of the river, shaking his feet while listening to a little tune, and didn't even bother to look back: "My place is called 'Xinji Porridge Shop', not 'Xinji Pork Porridge Shop'" ', Besides... the meat must be stewed in the meat porridge, so that the flavor of the meat can be integrated into the porridge, then it is delicious! "

"So has the meat stewed?" Lin Ge asked.

The boss said honestly: "Oh, I think you are monks, so I serve you white porridge."

"..."

This boss was so honest that Lin Ge was speechless for a moment. Facts have proved that there is no shortage of profiteers in any era.

Fahai on the side slowly picked up the porridge in front of him and took a few sips. He almost didn't touch anything in the restaurant just now.

"Actually, it tastes pretty good." Fahai said.

Lin Ge picked up the bowl and looked at the "rice washing water" in the bowl. He didn't know where the "good" thing was. He was about to complain, but he noticed that the private school had dismissed and students were walking out one after another.

Lin Ge's complaint suddenly turned into: "Oh, how could I feel sorry for myself and do nothing just because of a failure? Master, you are right, you will be a hero in life, but you will be a hero in death. I must be serious Gain confidence and prepare for the next exam!”

Fahai:? ? ?

What did I say?

Taoist priest, why are you having such a sudden fit?

Lin Ge ignored Fahai's disdainful and doubtful look, but continued to "carry" the impassioned, righteous, and ambitious "poetry" on his own.

"good!"

At this time, an excited voice of admiration came from the side, and then a handsome man dressed as a scholar came forward and said: "Brother, you are so talented in literature. I heard the great ambition you want to express in your words, and I feel the same. I hope to make friends with my brother, is that possible?"

This person is none other than "Xu Xian" who is at the top of Lin Ge's suspicion list. Judging from the performance in the movie, Xu Xian especially loves poetry, and prefers poetry that expresses ambition. However, they are quite disdainful of poems that express personal emotions and focus on "love".

There is a plot in the movie where Xu Xian discovered that his student was listening to the music in the restaurant on the other side and wrote an "obscene poem" about admiring a beautiful woman, which was criticized by him.

Therefore, after Lin Ge saw the other party coming out, he deliberately selected "golden sentences" from poets after the current era to attract the other party's attention.

Sure enough, Xu Xian "took the bait."

In Lin Ge's opinion, if the other party was really a reincarnator with a bounty on his head, he must have guessed Lin Ge's identity from the poem.

Therefore, there is a high probability that they will avoid them instead of approaching them to talk.

Of course, if the other party is confident in his own strength and acting skills, he may take the initiative to contact Lin Ge and then look for opportunities to make a move to avoid future troubles.

In order to "verify" Xu Xian's identity, Lin Ge started chatting with him. After a cup of tea, he discovered that Xu Xian was indeed as quick-thinking and well-spoken as shown in the movie. If Xu Xianbao continued to chat, Lin Ge would not know whether Xu Xianbao would expose it or not. Anyway, the little ink in his mind would soon be drained.

[Affected by the "charm value", the favorability of the plot character "Xu Xian" increases. 】

While chatting, Lin Ge suddenly received a message from the Lord God prompting Xu Xian to "increase his favorability". He frowned slightly, wondering if this could be considered verification of Xu Xian's identity.

After all, if the main god knew which plot character was replaced by the person with the bounty, he could have made it clear during the mission. There is obviously only one possibility for keeping it secretive——

The ability obtained by the person with a bounty may be related to the origin and can avoid the mark of the Lord God.

If this is the case, then the main god's prompt of "increasing the favorability of plot characters" has little credibility.

"well."

Lin Ge couldn't help but sigh in his heart. If he had known that there was a reward in this form, it would be better to participate in a multi-person reward and "cat and mouse" directly.

Xu Xian didn't notice Lin Ge's constipated expression and continued to talk at length about what he said until the porridge stalls were closed.

In the end, Lin Ge said goodbye to Xu Xian on the grounds that "it's getting late, let's talk tomorrow." However, Xu Xian had already introduced Lin Ge as a confidant and made an appointment to continue chatting tomorrow.

Lin Ge and Fahai left the town together. On the way, Fahai asked curiously: "Taoist Master, why does the young monk feel that you are deliberately approaching the donor?"

"That's right."

Lin Ge admitted it frankly, and then started the deception mode: "Actually, I have been hiding from the world for a long time. This time I came out because I thought that this town will usher in a catastrophe. We, as monks, should be heroic and help the world. How could I just watch the catastrophe happen? Even though Dao Po Tian will backfire on me, I won’t regret it, let alone shrink back!”

What Lin Ge said was "righteousness is awe-inspiring", a phrase he has used all year round to win the favor of decent people, and he has become so proficient that it can be said to be a movie-king-level performance.

[Affected by the "charm value", the favorability of the plot character "Fahai" increases. Fahai's favorability is full, and related hidden plots can be triggered in this reincarnation. 】

"The great righteousness of Taoism makes the young monk admire him endlessly." Fahai was immediately affected by Lin Ge's righteousness, which raised his status in his heart a little higher.

What Lin Ge is more concerned about is that Fa Hai actually has a "hidden plot". Could it be referring to the "emotional scene" with Xiao Qing in the movie.

Do you still have to act as the "Yue Lao" in this reincarnation?

Lin Ge looked at Fa Hai with a playful look. If this "Bu Dong Ai" and Xiao Qing could hold hands successfully, it would be really awesome!

Fahai was heartbroken by Lin Ge's gaze, and couldn't help but say: "The young monk only has admiration for the Taoist priest, Taoist priest, please don't misunderstand me."

"???"

Brother, have you misunderstood?

…

Lin Ge followed Fahai to Jinshan Temple. At this time, the sun had completely set. There were several young monks sweeping up fallen leaves at the gate. When he saw Fahai coming back, he hurried forward.

"Abbott."

"Abbott."

Fahai nodded and continued to lead Lin Ge up. Lin Ge looked around and asked casually: "How many people are there in your temple?"

"There used to be more than 300 monks when Master was here, but now... there are probably less than 100 left." Fa Hai said, looking slightly lonely.

Lin Ge asked curiously: "Why?"

"In the past, the master was in charge, and the monks below did not dare to make mistakes. After the master passed away, some went to other mountains to open new temples, and some returned to secular life because of the hardship... In addition, there are many temples in the surrounding mountains, and the money for sesame oil has been low recently. There are a lot of people, and eating in the temple has become a problem,” Fahai said.

Lin Ge was stunned when he heard this. Facts have proved that the "daily life" that is often erased in movies is a crucial part of the real world.

Fahai was upright by nature, even to the point of being crazy. Before meeting Lin Ge, his world view was only black and white, with no gray areas, so he felt that people are humans and monsters are monsters.

In fact, no matter how ugly they look, "people" who are painted like monsters and monsters are still innocent people in his eyes; but even monsters with good intentions and who have absorbed the shadow of the Buddha, in his eyes, are "doing all evil, doing evil and causing harm". The monster of the world!

Therefore, even after his master passed away and Fahai took over the position of abbot, and those uncles, uncles, brothers, and disciples walked and ran, he chose to endure the isolation silently and tried his best to maintain the expenses of Jinshan Temple.

It is a pity that with the rise of surrounding temples, the number of pilgrims at Jinshan Temple has decreased significantly, and the income has dropped sharply. There are even cases of starvation in the temple.

But Fahai is a Buddhist after all. Even if he is trapped by inner demons, he still has a "pure land" in his heart. It's just different from the movie where he has an epiphany after experiencing a series of events. Lin Ge, the "spoiler", uses both soft and hard tactics. , giving him an "epiphany" in advance.

After Lin Ge briefly learned about the situation in the temple from Fahai, he immediately lamented that Fahai was too upright and if he encountered such a thing as "family separation".

As long as everyone is in peace, if the other party wants to do something secretly, don't blame yourself for letting two ghosts go there to "appease" the pilgrims who go up the mountain to worship Buddha.

Fahai brought Lin Ge into a clean wing: "Taoist priest, this was originally intended for pilgrims to live in. No one has used it since it was cleaned. You can do whatever you want. If there are other If necessary, let the disciples from the outer courtyard inform the monk that the conditions in the temple are like this. I hope the Taoist Master will forgive me."

"It's okay, I'm used to living a life where the sky serves as a quilt, the ground serves as a bed, and the mountain serves as a pillow and the moon serves as a lamp. Here I have a house, a bed, and a pretty good environment. I'm content." Lin Ge said with a smile.

Fahai said: "There are still some things that need to be dealt with in the little monk's temple. Please leave first."

"Okay, you get busy first."

After Fahai left, Lin Ge walked out of the yard, held up the magic formula and applied it to his eyes, then opened his "Double Pupil Sky Eye" and looked around.

For some reason, since Lin Ge entered Jinshan Temple, he always felt that this temple gave him a completely different feeling from the kind of temple where "Buddha's light shines everywhere".

This weird feeling can't be put into words, it always feels eerie and a little depressing. In such an environment, it's not surprising that Fahai suppressed his inner demons.

After Lin Ge used his "Evil-Chasing Eyes" to observe, he found no evil spirits in the temple. However, he could see a few red lights on the top of the mountain in the distance.

Judging from the concentration and size of the red light, his strength is above that of the Fierce God, but it has not yet reached the level of the Ghost King.

What puzzled Lin Ge the most was that there was a red light "wandering around" just under the hilltop where Jinshan Temple was located.

"Tsk, tsk, according to what Fa Hai said, his brothers went to other mountains to open temples, so there should be no monsters around them."

Moreover, this mountain is "covered" by Fahai, so it is even less likely that evil spirits will appear, unless... thinking of this, Lin Ge decided to go out for a walk.

Lin Ge met many monks while walking in the temple. They all called him "Taoist Master" kindly and politely, and asked if he had any instructions. Fahai must have already told him that Lin Ge was his "distinguished guest" and should not be ignored.

Lin Ge asked about Fahai's whereabouts and learned that Fahai was giving a lecture in the main hall, so he walked around the temple and all the way to the backyard.

Just when Lin Ge was about to step into the backyard, a golden barrier suddenly rose up from the courtyard door to block him.

"Oh? Does this mean no one is allowed to enter?" Lin Ge looked at the golden light barrier with interest. If there had been no astrolabe before, the little girl would have been turned away by the golden light when all the ghosts were living in his bag or on his body. It makes sense, but the current situation is a bit puzzling.

You can't. Buddha is still xenophobic, right?

Lin Ge looked around and saw that there was no "No outsiders allowed" sign around. Instead, there was a wooden sign saying "Pilgrims leave here" standing in the flower garden on the left. Apparently pilgrims were allowed to enter here before.

"Interesting." Lin Ge made a hand gesture and used his "barrier-breaking double pupils" to find a way to break the golden light barrier.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to make a hand gesture to break the formation, he heard Fahai's slightly puzzled voice behind him: "Master? Why are you here?"

Lin Ge turned around and saw Fahai and a group of disciples walking here, so he smiled and said: "It's a long night and I can't sleep, so I want to walk around. I saw a sign here to guide pilgrims. I thought it was not a place where outsiders were prohibited from entering, so I wanted to go in and take a look."

Fahai walked to Lin Ge and stood still, looking up at the golden light blocking the backyard, and sighed: "This place was indeed open to pilgrims before, but... after the master passed away in the back mountain a few years ago, this place has been blocked by a Buddha's light, and even this little monk cannot enter."

"... This golden light shield that can be broken like plastic wrap can also block you?" Lin Ge asked curiously.

Fahai replied: "I thought this was a test from my master. How could I force myself to break through? Perhaps... my master wants me to reach a certain level before I am qualified to enter. But Taoist priest, what is the 'plastic wrap' you mentioned?"

Lin Ge narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice: "That's not important. What's important is that because of the existence of this golden light, there is an evil spirit in this mountain, and it always hides in the back mountain. Do you stop chasing it?"

Fahai was stunned, with shock in his eyes. Obviously, he didn't expect Lin Ge to know this. He was surprised and said: "Taoist priest, why... do you know?"

"Nonsense, I, your Taoist master, have great magical powers. I can even know what you will eat tomorrow morning with a count of my fingers. How can a mere evil spirit escape my eyes?"

"Uh..." Fahai didn't know how to respond for a moment. After all... what to eat in the morning and whether the evil spirit can escape Lin Ge's eyes seem to have no direct relationship.

Lin Ge asked: "Since you want to wait until you have enough cultivation before entering, and outsiders are not prohibited from entering here, do you mind if I go in and take a look?"

"This..." Fahai was a little embarrassed.

Lin Ge smiled and said: "At most I won't damage this layer of plastic wrap."

"Ah?"

Can it be like this?

"Golden light appears quickly, covering the real person." Lin Ge pinched the formula, and a layer of golden light suddenly coated his body, and he easily passed through the golden light cover.

Fahai said: "...Golden light protects the body, exterminates evil and is invulnerable, the Golden Light Mantra, one of the eight great Taoist mantras."

This was like an explanation to the disciples behind him. Although everyone had long known that Lin Ge was a distinguished guest invited by Fahai, they were amazed when they saw that the other party passed through the seal left by the previous abbot without any obstruction.

After Lin Ge passed through the golden light cover, he wandered around the backyard. Fahai and others couldn't just leave like that, so they had to wait at the gate of the yard.

After an incense stick, Lin Ge returned to the gate of the courtyard and said in a cold voice: "Fahai, maybe the golden light array here is not what you think."

"Master, what do you mean by that?" Fahai asked.

Lin Ge explained what he had just explored in the courtyard. It turned out that this golden light cover was not a "miracle" left after Master Fahai passed away. On the contrary, it should be a magic array arranged by someone later.

As he said that, Lin Ge spread out his hands, and a small wooden fish appeared in his hands: "Do you recognize this thing?"

"This is the magic weapon of my master." Fahai said.

Lin Ge said: "This thing is the array eye of the golden light array. If you use this thing to arrange the magic array, it can produce the corresponding breath of the holder, so you can feel the breath of your master. But this is not the point. The point is that I found the 'Spirit Inducing Array' in the courtyard."

Although Lin Ge is good at positional warfare, he is not good at formations. Fortunately, he learned a few tricks from Huang Ni before. After discovering the clues in the courtyard, he asked Huang Ni to help him solve the doubts, so he found the problem at a glance.

"Every mountain has a mountain spirit. Over time, the mountain spirit becomes a 'mountain god', protecting the life of the entire mountain. The stronger the mountain spirit is, the more spiritual energy it absorbs from the heaven and earth will feed back to the mountain. Therefore, if you want to know whether a mountain god is strong, you can see it from the vegetation of the mountain."

"Logically speaking, this mountain is protected by the Buddhist teachings of Jinshan Temple, and the mountain spirit is illuminated by the Buddha's light. The whole mountain will also be deeply affected. Not to say that all trees are towering, but it is not as it is now. It is not autumn yet, and the trees at the foot of the mountain have turned yellow, and there are many withered plants."

"This is all thanks to the 'Spirit Induction Array', which leads the spiritual energy of this mountain to other mountains. If you compare it with the surrounding mountains, you will find that this mountain has the most withered vegetation among all the mountains, and the mountain spirit is also the weakest." Lin Ge said in a deep voice.

Fahai's face darkened when he heard this: "Master, is that what you mean?"

"Yes, I'm afraid all this is thanks to your good uncles and uncles!" Lin Ge said, and laughed: "It's true that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. I never dreamed that one day I would encounter such a thing as the Buddhist sect fighting for the mountain."

Although Fahai and Lin Ge have only known each other for a day, what they experienced today has made Fahai quite convinced of Lin Ge.

But Lin Ge's words were about Fahai's "uncle and uncle", and he was a little hesitant for a while.

Lin Ge saw through Fahai's thoughts, raised his hand to take out three lucky stars, and shot them into the backyard. The three lucky stars on the talisman paper suddenly turned into golden light and flew to three places. After a moment, there was a light "click" sound, and the golden light cover covering the entire backyard shattered like glass.

"The 'Spirit Summoning Array' has been broken by me. We will know in a few days whether it was done by your uncles or aunts." Lin Ge wrote down the method of breaking the array that Huang Ni had just told him, so he easily broke the array with one move.

Fahai actually believed 80% of Lin Ge's words, and the remaining 20% ​​was just to take care of the "face" of his uncles.

Lin Ge asked again: "Are you interested in going to the back mountain to see what the monster you have been "unable to catch" is?"

"..."

Lin Ge's words were really "heart-breaking". After all, Fahai was ruthless to monsters outside, but there was a monster rampant on his own mountain. If he told others about it, he would inevitably be laughed at.

Fahai nodded, let his disciples go down to rest first, and then he went into the back mountain with Lin Ge.

"Master, I have tried to catch that monster, but it's a pity that this monster is good at hiding and has a strange speed... In addition, I haven't heard that it has hurt people in the mountain, so... After this monster hid in the back mountain, I just..."

"Let it go?" Lin Ge asked.

Fahai nodded.

"This is somewhat contrary to your concept of exorcising monsters." Lin Ge teased.

Fahai smiled bitterly and said, "Master, please stop mocking me. I know that I was stupid before, trapped by my inner demons, and only looked at the appearance of everything. Now, I have been enlightened by you and know that I can't just look at the appearance of everything. Right and wrong, good and evil, are not black and white, and we have to look at it from the inside..."

"Stop, stop! I don't mean to blame you, I'm just teasing you, just treat it as a joke between friends." When Lin Ge heard that Fahai was going to talk a lot again, he quickly stopped.

In fact, Lin Ge didn't know anything about Buddhism. He either "plagiarized" the famous sayings of his ancestors or the lines of movies, but he made Fahai "enlightened" one after another.

You are so good at "enlightenment", why don't you let "Bu Dongai" understand the love line?

"Friend..." Fahai murmured, and he didn't know what he "enlightened" again.

The monster hiding in the back mountain is just as Fahai said, a raccoon cat who is good at hiding and has practiced for hundreds of years. Even a high monk of Fahai's realm would find it difficult to see through the raccoon cat's hiding technique.

It's a pity that this guy ran into Lin Ge, a "perspective" wall-hanger. With the help of "barrier-breaking double pupils", Lin Ge found the raccoon cat's nest with almost no effort.

Lin Ge squatted in front of a cave, took out a copper coin sword and poked the stone at the entrance of the cave, and said with a smile: "I have never eaten raccoon cat meat, and I don't know if it tastes good... But you are quite smart, digging a cave as a deception... There should be a lot of traps in this cave."

After Lin Ge finished speaking, the stone in front of him did not move, it was still the same stone, but in his "barrier-breaking double pupils", it was a big raccoon cat curled up in a ball.

Fahai, who was standing aside, did not have "double pupils", so naturally he could not see through the changes of the raccoon cat. At this moment, after listening to Lin Ge's words, he realized that the rock was transformed by a raccoon cat.

"Prajna Buddhas, Ksitigarbha Dharma Eye! Prajna Ma Ma Boom, show the Dharma!" Fahai summoned the Golden Light Sky Eye again and found that there was something fishy about the rock.

But he only "found" that the shape of the rock was shaking slightly, and did not see the transformation of the raccoon cat. After all, if he could see through it at a glance, the raccoon cat would not have escaped so many times before.

Lin Ge put away the copper coin sword, flipped his hand, took out the black sword and placed it on the rock. Feeling the terrifying spiritual pressure from the black sword, the raccoon cat spirit dared not pretend anymore. With a "bang", it changed back to its original form and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Master Dao, spare my life, Master Dao, spare my life!"

Lin Ge patted the furry raccoon cat's head with the black sword, and said with a smile: "After all, it is a great demon for nearly a thousand years. You kneel down and beg for mercy without fighting. Can you have some backbone?"

The raccoon cat spirit's chubby face was almost wrinkled together: "Even if I am blind, I dare not act rashly in front of the Taoist holding the demon-slaying sword."

"Tell me, what are you doing here?" Lin Ge asked.

The raccoon cat spirit looked at the black sword that could fall on its head at any time, and felt the spiritual pressure from it. How could it dare to hide anything? It immediately told everything about itself.

Fahai's face changed when he heard this. He didn't expect that it was just as Lin Ge expected. The reason why this raccoon cat spirit was here was the "masterpiece" of his uncles.

However, it was different from the "driving" he originally thought. This nearly thousand-year-old raccoon cat spirit was "invited" by the abbots of the temples in the surrounding mountains.

In order to make the raccoon cat spirit appear here, the abbots paid a lot of price for it!
