Chapter 116

116

When Fa Hai turned around and left, he was angry inside.

He really isn't the same person he was when he was younger.

If he were young, he would not let go of a monster like Bai Suzhen.

But now, he had to consider Jinshan Temple.

You have to consider the consequences of impulsiveness.

I had to make some modest concessions.

If Bai Suzhen, a big monster with clean breath, could not afford to conflict, he would let her go.

However, just after Fahai watched Bai Suzhen leave, he turned around and heard a big gossip.

The white snake demon who co-authored this is not passing through Suzhou.

She is a human wife!

"As a monster, he gets married to others, plots evil, and brings harm to the common people." Fa Hai felt that he could not bypass Bai Suzhen.

As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed that the aunt next to me looked at the sea with a look that looked like a snake.

"Monster? You mean... the eldest lady of the Xu family?"

"Yes." Fahai nodded affirmatively, and then thought, since this monster is married to a man, he should be the first to warn his husband to stay away from the snake monster.

It would be better if the husband could lead the snake demon to the wilderness.

He lowered his head and was about to ask the aunt about White Snake, when he saw that the aunt who was standing next to him a second ago was already about ten meters away from him.

He also pulled another aunt to bite her ears and pointed at herself.

Fahai:…………

"That's him, that's him."

Fahai:? ? ?

As Fa Hai was stunned, more and more people surrounded him and bit their ears.

One spreads to ten, and ten spreads to a hundred.

It takes less than half a stick of incense.

People all over the street were watching him and whispering, and some people even came from afar to look at him and then went back to continue gossiping.

Fahai:…………

After all, Fahai is one of the truly top players who can tie with Bai Niangniang.

With his ears, he could hear clearly clearly.

"Oh my god, I didn't expect that."

"That's right, I thought it was a story, but I didn't expect that such a person actually existed."

"Looking at the kind-hearted intention, I didn't expect it..."

"Are you stupid? If he looks so fierce, how can he lie to others?"

"What a sin, the eldest wife of the Xu family is such a good person."

"Yes, my Sanlang's leg was broken last time, but it was the eldest lady who treated it."

"Isn't that right? It is said that the couple went up the mountain to exercise and killed a centipede demon."

"Hey, I heard that the old Zhao family went up the mountain to cut firewood and disappeared. Now that we know there are monsters on the mountain, we can solve the case."

"Yes, if it weren't for this little couple, I don't know how many people would be missing."

"Why is this monk so bad? He actually said Madam Xu is a monster."

"Report to the official?"

"There's no evidence...just stay hidden."

"Stop looking now. Stop looking. If he becomes suspicious, walk away."

"I, I, I, let me remind Mrs. Xu."

"Go quickly."

Fahai:? ? ? ?

If question marks could be visualized, his head full of question marks could be regarded as a head of beautiful hair.

He saw that everyone was wary of him, thinking that he was a liar and a bad person.

Why?

Is it the white snake's fault?

No, that's not right.

Although to the outside world he has been at Jinshan Temple, in fact he has been wandering around. White Snake couldn't possibly target him.

Is this place disgusted with Buddhism?

Not really. When he first appeared, he was obviously fine.

Fa Hai retreated first in confusion.

He could clearly hear the collective breath of relief coming from behind.

What is going on?

Fahai immediately went to the local Hanshan Temple to find out what happened.

Yes, it’s the Hanshan Temple where the midnight bell rings to the passenger ship.

As a temple, there is not a single practitioner in the temple, which is completely incomparable with Jinshan Temple’s status in the spiritual world.

But just Zhang Ji's song "Night Mooring on Maple Bridge" is enough to make Hanshan Temple prosperous to this day.

The abbot of Hanshan Temple is over eighty years old, an age where he can see the Buddha at any time.

If it weren't for Fa Hai's status, the monks in the temple would never disturb the old abbot.

The old abbot used Buddhist scriptures when he was learning the language, and he experienced the Buddha's teachings throughout his life and achieved enlightenment through meditation.

With great perseverance and great compassion, he presides over Hanshan Temple and offers universal compassion to all living beings.

He is a very respectable and eminent monk.

Fahai also bowed to him as a junior when he saw him.

"It's been almost twenty years since we last said goodbye." The old abbot poured Fa Hai a cup of tea.

"Abbot Jue Fang, after so many years of separation, you are as strong as ever."

"Hahahaha, Buddha has blessed me. I see this world, so dusty but so clear and bright. I want to see it twice more before I go to see Buddha."

Juefang has never felt that the mortal world is an "evil obstacle".

All living beings suffer, but all living beings are happy, right?

Life is so beautiful.

Look for the best.

Isn't it the responsibility of Buddhist disciples to help sentient beings overcome suffering and reach "Ultimate Bliss"?

Juefang looked at Fahai and frowned slightly, but did not criticize.

Alas, this is the benefit of old age.

When you were young, everyone would jump out to argue with you.

As I get older and move up in seniority, I still hold back my dissatisfaction.

Juefang didn't want to use his seniority to bully Fahai.

"The sufferings of all living beings belong to all living beings, what about you?"

Fa Hai has a straightforward temperament, so he no longer says Zen in front of this old man.

He directly told the old abbot what he had encountered and his doubts.

He didn’t think the abbot, who was now confined to his house, would know, but the disciples in Hanshan Temple must know something. He came to ask the abbot to allow him to…

“I do know about this.”

Fahai:…………

“Please tell me, abbot.”

The reason was that storytellers in Suzhou and Hangzhou suddenly started telling two stories.

One was a more traditional story about a female ghost who cheated a man of money and finally made him lose his family and family.

Although at the end of the story, the female ghost was killed by a passing Tianshi.

In the whole story, the greed of the man and his family, the evil of the villagers, the evil of the female ghost, the shaken justice of the Tianshi, etc. are all quite thought-provoking.

The female ghost finally angrily questioned the exorcist: “I killed the greedy and shameless people, the evil people in the world, who didn’t plot for their own sake and seek the lives of others. I am eliminating evil, I have merits! Why do you still want to eliminate me?”

The old abbot told the story in a rhythmic way, and Fahai got angry when he heard this.

"Quibbling! Qubbling! How can an evil ghost hurting people have merit?!"

The old abbot looked at Fahai disapprovingly.

"All beings are equal, and eliminating evil is promoting good. The female ghost's fault is not that she eliminates evil, but that she tempts people to do evil. Her fault is that she eliminates evil for her own benefit."

After saying this, without waiting for Fahai to refute, the old abbot quickly told the next story.

Fahai's view of good and evil is too absolute. If you don't agree with each other's three views, it's better to listen to Fahai less.

Lest you see the Buddha early.

The second story.

Abbot Juefang looked at Fahai meaningfully and told the story concisely.

It is about a flower demon who was grateful for the life-saving grace of a flower farmer, so he transformed into a human form to repay the grace and married the other party as his wife.

As a result, a demon hunter passed by and pointed at the flower farmer's wife and said that she was possessed by a demon.

The flower farmer believed it and asked the demon hunter to eliminate the demon and actively cooperated.

As a result, his beloved wife died, and he realized that he had made a big mistake. He went to find a demon hunter to fight for his life.

But he was dismissed by the other party with a sentence "Exorcist and Defend the Way".

The demon hunter left happily with the body of the flower demon, and went back to use the body of the flower demon to make elixirs, which greatly increased his power and became famous.

Fahai understood, completely understood.

The abbot's storytelling is very good, but it is definitely not as good as the professional storytellers who eat this mouth.

It can be imagined that the original story must be more ups and downs, tear-jerking, touching, and thought-provoking.

Now I can fully understand why the people of Suzhou have this attitude.

The white snake is obviously good at hiding and winning people's hearts.

It brings people into the story of the flower demon.

Fahai's temper and sense of right and wrong are known to the whole cultivation world.

If Bai Suzhen was not a thousand-year-old demon, but a small demon that Fahai could kill with one blow.

Fahai would definitely take action directly.

A demon mixed in the crowd must be plotting something bad.

If this was in his early years, Fahai would probably ask the other party to suppress or kill the demon if he encountered it in the mountains.

"Amitabha." Fahai stood up. Now that he knew the reason for the matter, he had to find another way.

"Amitabha." The old abbot chanted the Buddha's name, which contained infinite sighs.

"Fahai... I am a Buddhist, and I have to distinguish between good and evil."

There are many bad demons, but it is not absolute.

However, if Fahai listened to the advice, he would not be Fahai.

After the old abbot said this, he served tea to see him off.

Fahai bowed respectfully for the last time and turned to leave.

After leaving the house, Fahai thought for a moment and immediately went to the station of Yue's army in Linzhou.

Who to look for?

Xu Xian.

The current military service system of the Song Dynasty is a bit like a hodgepodge.

It is a geometric combination of the Fubing system and the Mubing system.

The chaos reveals the scene of excessive military strength on all sides.

This is a disadvantage, but before the success of the Northern Expedition, it was an advantage.

Raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment.

If you want to be useful one day, you have to raise them first!

This army has been a bit redundant since Zhenzong, and in order to make them able to support themselves, all the ways that can be thought of have been thought of.

For example, now, Xu Xian was recruited and successfully appreciated by the superiors. Now he is a small lieutenant.

When Fahai met Xu Xian.

He was wearing a tattered scholar's robe and stumbling in the mountains and forests.

His handsome face was covered with mud and sweat.

His eyes were full of weakness and covering.

Several burly men behind were grinning and chasing with knives.

Fahai frowned at this scene, and immediately flew up. With one palm, all the burly men behind him fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

"This donor, are you in trouble?"

Xu Xian, who was lying on the ground, looked at Fahai with a confused face.

Fahai frowned and looked at the forest - there were still people.

He held the Zen stick tightly, as if he was ready to take action at any time.

At this time, dozens of people hiding in the jungle ran out from their hiding places in unison.

Although everyone was covered with grass leaves and their leather armor was different, the red silk with the word Yue tied on their arms clearly showed their identity as regular soldiers.

"What's the situation?"

"Where did the monk come from?"

"Hanwen, are you okay?"

"Hey, hey, hey, big monk, who are you?"

The scholar who had just fallen to the ground and trembled weakly jumped up.

He tied up the tattered clothes casually.

The strong tendons on the arms were exposed.

Fahai:......

"Master, thank you for your help, but this... we have been waiting for so long..."

They need these heads to go back and collect the reward.

Fahai:......

Yes, Xu Xian's team is killing bandits nearby in exchange for money.

This place is somewhat far away from the Yue Family Army's station.

This is not because no bandits dare to stay near the army station.

As a team, they trained together, suppressed bandits, and then acted as Mai Ke to help Xiang Xing do some farm work and so on.

Make money and exercise at the same time.

It was not easy to catch a big fish that was not too small.

But he was intercepted by Fahai.

According to the law, both the man and the reward were given the head of Fahaina.

Everyone... everyone... couldn't help but discuss it in a not so kind way.

Of course Fahai will not fight with a group of young people, and he immediately said that his head will be given to you.

A group of soldiers rejoiced.

Then he tied the person tightly, and then yelled at Xu Xian to put down his sleeves and go for a walk in the mountains and forests. Maybe he could catch something else.

"Your face is completely worthy of your name, Xu Xian Xu Xian, full of fairy spirit."

"Yes, captain, go quickly, brothers are waiting for the opening."

"Go! Go! Go."

"Captain, let's run around again. Even if we don't catch the robber, it would still be good to catch a vixen. Hahahahahaha."

A group of people suddenly burst into laughter.

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm married..."

"Oh oh oh~"

"Shhhhhhh~~~"

The bachelors started booing before Xu Xian finished speaking.

Yep, having a wife is great.

It’s amazing to have a wife who is like a fairy.

Xu Xian: Yes, it is so amazing.

The fact that Xu Xian has a fairy wife has long been no secret in the military camp.

During the Dragon Boat Festival Dragon Boat Race, the soldiers who were lucky enough to meet Bai Suzhen were all stunned.

In addition, Xu Xian is "lady-long" and "lady-short" all day long.

Therefore, Xu Xian's popularity in the military was "exceptionally good".

"Are you Xu Xian?" Fahai's eyes lit up. He was still thinking that it was difficult to enter the military camp.

I didn’t expect to meet him by chance on the road. This is simply the guidance of Buddha.

"yes."

"People from Qiantang?"

"yes."

"Mrs.'s surname is Bai?"

"...Yes. Master, is there something wrong?"

"Amitabha Buddha, Lao Na Jinshan Temple Fahai."

Fahai's name is still very resounding.

A group of soldiers all said "Oh~" to express their understanding.

Then everyone waited in silence for Fa Hai to continue.

Well, you are a famous monk, then what?

Fahai explained his intention very straightforwardly.

"Donor Xu, your wife is a snake demon who has successfully cultivated."

Xu Xian: →_→

All soldiers: →_→

Fahai:…………

"That master... we have also seen "The Story of a Mistaken Flower"."

"I am willing to guarantee the thousand-year reputation of Jinshan Temple. Madam Ling and the woman in green beside her are snake demons. They are both very powerful, and I am not sure that I can capture and kill them..."

Xu Xian didn't wait for Fa Hai to finish.

He directly picked up a gun owned by his comrade and pointed the tip of the gun at Fahai.

"Who did you say you wanted to kill?"

Xu Xian, who was still wearing scholar's robe, was filled with murderous aura at this moment.

The way he looked at Fahai was no different from the way he looked at the Khitan people.

"Donor, the human monster has a different path."

"Different paths lead to the same destination."

"She is a demon. If you are with her, she will harm you."

"I am willing."

"If the donor is stubborn..."

"Fa Hai!" Xu Xian thrust the tip of his spear forward again.

"I don't care who she is! She is my married wife. We are married under the witness of heaven and earth. As husband and wife, she is me and I am her. If you dare to touch her... the disaster of Jinshan Temple that year, I I don’t mind letting you relive it again.”

□□ swept across, and a thick tree next to it fell to the ground.
