Heavenly Genius

Little South Mountain, Broad County.

The mountains are green and the trees are deep. In the evening, Sanqi rushed into the mountain to break the tranquility of the mountain, and occasionally alarmed the birds and beasts beside the mountain road.

Among the trees along the road, there is a small pavilion that shelters a stele in the pavilion from wind and rain. The stele is engraved with the words’Nanshan Temple’ that has been eroded by the years.

Song Yanqing, Xu Yitian, and Chen Guishuo stopped at their horses. They looked at the inscription to confirm that they had come to the wrong place. They looked up at the stone steps that were circling up the mountain and saw a cornice in the dense forest on the mountain. , Should be where the temple is.

Song Yanqing tilted his head and gestured. Xu Yitian hit the horse’s belly with his heel, and the horse rushed up the stone steps. After Song Yanqing, Chen Guishuo followed.

There is an antique temple on the top of the mountain with a quiet environment. The sweeping monk in front of the door looked at the three people who jumped off the horse, and stepped forward and said: “Three benefactors, it is late, I don’t know…”

Song Yanqing glanced coldly, supercilious, pushed him aside, and strode into the courtyard gate. Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo also led the horse directly into the monastery through the front gate. The monk hurriedly threw the broomstick and ran back to report.

Soon, a dozen young and strong monks rushed out, carrying sticks in a row, stopping the three people in the compound, each of the monks’ robes washed white and a little shabby.

Song Yanqing grabbed the money from the pocket at her waist and threw it out. The rustling sound coin fell at the feet of the monks.

Huang Cancan, all of them are Gold Coins. This is not a little money. A group of monks looked at each other in blank dismay.

“Incense money! The wing is ready for us, and the horse needs to be fed with first-class fodder.” Song Yanqing said faintly.

“Several benefactors turned out to be pilgrims!” Aiya, the monk in charge under the eaves of the main hall, walked over quickly, waved to a group of stick monks to put down their weapons, and personally greeted Song Yanqing, “The soldiers are in chaos in the mountains these days. There are a lot of bandits. I saw a few donors leading their horses, thinking they were gangsters, misunderstandings, misunderstandings, please inside, please inside.” Reach out and invite them to the living room.

The three horses were taken care of by themselves, and the stick monks began to pick up the Gold Coin on the ground.

“Are you holding this Sect Master?” Song Yanqing, who was walking under the eaves corridor with his hand, asked.

“No, no, this poor monk Ruhui, the first seat of the Eastern Academy.” Ruhui politely declared himself, and it seemed that Song Yanqing was treated as a gold lord.

Song Yanqing squinted at him, “Let your host come to see me.”

Ruhui shook his head and said: “Unfortunately, the host is out to visit friends and will be back tomorrow!”

It was night, Song Yanqing and the three of them stayed in the guest room.

Shortly after the smoke went out in the temple room, two little monks brought food for the fast.

The vegetarian food was set up, and the two little monks stepped back. Xu Yitian walked to the table and took a look. There was just a pot of vegetables and rice, which was simple enough.

Xu Yitian took out a small porcelain bottle, shook a little white powder and put it into the pao rice, holding the soup spoon to stir, his face changed quickly, but the color of the pao rice was a little black, so he turned back and called gently He said, “Brother!”

Song Yanqing and Chen Guishuo approached, their expressions also changed. Fortunately, I checked it, otherwise I don’t know what will happen. Who can I thought that this seemingly regular monastery could actually do such a thing.

“A group of thieves are bald!” Chen Guishuo gnashing teeth, turned around to find a group of monks to settle accounts.

Song Yanqing grabbed his arm with a hand, and moved the two of them forward, and they met for a while and whispered.

Looking back, Xu Yitian took the pot of Zhaifan and found a corner to deal with it. After retouching the things on the table, the three of them nodded each other and signaled, and then fell on the ground motionless.

One hour However, a window in the corner opened a gap, and one eye glanced into the room and disappeared.

In a short while, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and two stick monks opened the door, followed by an old monk wearing a robe. He was not tall, thin, slightly rickety, and had a dark complexion. With white beards and piercing eyes, Nanshan Temple presides over the circle.

Several stick monks flooded in from outside. The former Ruhui, the first seat of the Eastern Courtyard, followed the old monk to the left, and the right was the first Ruming of the Western Courtyard.

There is a disciple, holding an empty pot, and lighting up here, saying: “I have eaten it all.”

Look at the person lying underneath, the first seat in the west courtyard is like a bright sigh. After that, “Criminals and sins, host, we have done another murder!”

Host Fang Yuan sighed, “The world is so chaotic, and the people don’t have a living, and the people themselves can’t take care of them. Who will donate the sesame oil money? Nanshan Temple is far away from the city and is in the deep mountains. I don’t want to find a way to get the sesame oil money. If you don’t even have enough to eat your stomach, if you leave, you will break up. What else can you talk about revitalizing Nanshan Temple? Give me a few more years Time, if I save enough money, I will build a big temple in the city to complete my last wish. When the time comes, there is incense money every day, we don’t have to do this anymore.”

“oh! “Several sighs sounded among the monks.

Ruhui waved his hand, and several stick monks stepped forward to search the three people on the ground.

Who knows that mutation suddenly arises, a stick monk “Ah” screamed and was kicked flying by Xu Yitian, knocking over several people in a row.

Song Yanqing also stood up suddenly, grabbed a stick monk by the neck, said with a sneer: “What a group of thief monks who are seeking money and killing lives!” After the words fell, he twisted his hand and fell into it. The stick monk in his hand uttered ka-cha in his throat, which was directly broken by him. He returned his hand and grabbed it in the void.

Three sword light suddenly rose, a group of stick monks brandished wooden sticks to resist, which stopped them, they were killed instantly, screamed again and again, the rest were scared to quit. Only the host Yuanfang waved his Zen stick to ding and ding to resist, covering the evacuation of the monks, and a faint monster qi appeared on his body.

“It turned out to be a fairy!” Song Yanqing sneered, smashed with a sword, and the square stick was blocked, and Song Yanqing’s arms were numb.

Yuanfang is obviously not the opponent of Song Yanqing and others. He can fight almost any of them. He has no strength to fight back. Apart from the brute force, the cultivation base is indeed not very good.

What makes the three of them strange is that Yuanfang has already had several swords in succession, and the clothes on his body have been scratched and torn, but it is difficult for sword edge to hurt his body. It seems that he is wearing some body protection armor, otherwise Yuanfang’s life was long gone. Judging from the torn seams of the clothes, there was a fluffy thing, and the sword edge made a metal rubbing sound when it swiped across.

However, the three quickly discovered Yuanfang’s weak spot. Sword edge was useless. Only a thorn can pierce Yuanfang’s skin. Rao is Yuanfang’s skin is rough, flesh is thick. He has repeatedly avoided the key points, and even a few swords can’t bear it. The blood is ticking all the way while dodging.

Several people were killed in the yard, Song Yanqing slightly raised his hand to indicate, Xu Yitian and Chen Guishuo gave up, stopped the attack, the three formed horns and surrounded the battered and exhausted circle with a frightened face. intermediate.

All the monks in the monastery seemed to show up. In addition to the more than ten people who just died in the hands of Song Yanqing’s three people, there were also more than 20 monks on the scene, all of them looked scared. , I saw how Song Yanqing and the others were so daring not to approach, and they were unwilling to leave Yuanfang to escape.

The blood ticking Yuanfang panted heavily, and slowly turned the stick in his hand to warn the three of them.

“Do you want to die or live?” Song Yanqing asked lightly.

Yuanfang gritted his teeth and said: “I said you can let me go if you want to live?”

Song Yanqing said: “Of course there is no such good thing. If you want to live, you will serve me. Just be obedient. Obediently, I will help you realize your wish to enter the city to build a temple, and I can also allow the Imperial Court to give you an official status, otherwise you will have a life worry wherever you go. Those cultivators that cut down Monsters and eliminate Demons will not be easy. Let go of you!” Turning his hand revealed a token.

The word “Xing” on the token made Yuanfang eyes shrank……

After a while, the monks of if the rabbit dies, the fox grieves began to clean up their bodies, Song Yanqing and others went to another clean guest room.

In the guest room, in front of Song Yanqing and the others, the round square wrapped up the wound and let the disciple retreat, but the golden hair made Song Yanqing and the others understand that feelings are an unweathered fairy , It can’t complete people.

Looking at Yuanfang putting on his clothes again, Song Yanqing said strangely: “As far as I know, this Nanshan Temple seems to be some years old, how can a group of monks let you be a fairy?” The other monks fought each other. It was confirmed that they were all real people, but the host was a goblin, how could it not be strange.

Avoid pulling open the wound and slowly dressing Yuanfang said with a bitter smile: “Actually, I am not the host of Yuanfang…”

After he tells the truth. Song Yanqing and others understand that the original host of Yuanfang had passed away two years ago, and he was a bear picked up and adopted by monks from Nanshan Temple 200 years ago, perhaps because of the fact that he often heard the Dharma. With spirituality, I realized a set of methods for absorbing Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi, and gradually gained a cultivation base, and then cultivation in the mountains. When he has a certain cultivation base and begins to transform, the reference object of the transformation is the host of Yuanfang, so it becomes the appearance of Yuanfang, but the cultivation base is not enough, the transformation is not complete, and there is still room for improvement.

As he said, the world is too chaotic, and Nanshan Temple is very difficult to maintain. When Yuanfang’s host was still alive, he kept getting supplies from outside, which made Nanshan Temple barely support it. Did not fall. Yuanfang did not want Nanshan Temple to collapse when he passed away, so he entrusted Nanshan Temple to him, but in order to fulfill Yuanfang’s last wish, he began to lead a group of monks to do shameful deeds, not only in the temple. Cai killed his life, and took the monks of Nanshan Temple to the roadside to ambush. However, some monks used to be silently supported by the property he got, and it was a bit unbearable to do this personally. What happened to Buddhism disciple? After leaving, less than half of the hundreds of people were left. As a result, the money and death fell into Song Yanqing’s hands this time.

“I actually did a lot of good deeds. Several bands of bandits who had fallen into the grass in the mountains and forests around here were all cleared out by me quietly bringing the Nanshan Temple disciple. We will sweep a lot of them when they come. That group of bandits is too hateful. They robbed people when they see them, and they robbed them back to the cottage when they see women. We are different. We only rob the rich and do nothing against the poor. When we encounter a plentiful harvest, we occasionally go there. The nearby villages donated some food. If you don’t believe me, you can ask about it. Since I became the presiding officer, the nearby villages no longer have to worry about bandits. They don’t need to close their homes at night. Although they don’t know that Nanshan Temple helped them solve their problems, they only If Nanshan Temple is good, I won’t say a bad word. The reputation of Nanshan Temple in the vicinity is absolutely no problem!” Yuanfang emphasized this point very much, intending to prove that he is actually a good person.

Song Yanqing and the three were dumbfounded after listening, and were shocked by the host. Where is the temple host? This is clearly the big brother taking the lead!
