What surprised Li Chuan was that Jiang Mei was also in the room, but Feng Xiucai was not there.
After Li Chuan and Feng Zhang came out, Wu Kong stopped chanting. He looked at Li Chuan with a smile and said, "Brother Li, long time no see."
Li Chuan heard this and asked, "How long have I been in there?"
Wu Kong said: "About half an hour."
"You were outside, did you hear anything?" Li Chuan asked.
Wu Kong replied: "I heard you yelling inside, so I started chanting sutras. How about it? Can I help you?"
"It's been a big help. Otherwise, I might still be in the pigeon house as a food reserve." After thanking Wu Kong, Li Chuan recounted his experience there.
After Wu Kong finished listening, he looked at Feng Zhang approvingly and said, "Young general, you are awesome, awesome!"
Feng Zhang was a little embarrassed by the praise. He said, "It was only because Master Wu Kong was so good at chanting sutras that he disrupted the evil beast's mind, so that I could successfully cut off its head."
Then, he asked: "Master, what kind of monster is that evil beast?"
Wukong was stunned by the question. After thinking for a while, he looked at Jiang Mei and asked, "Director Jiang, do you know the origin of that evil beast?"
"Goat head, snake body, covered with scales..." Jiang Mei thought for a moment and said: "From these characteristics, it looks like the descendant of an ancient monster."
"Where are we going?" Li Chuan asked.
Jiang Mei said: "It's just a fantasy world."
"The hole is gone!" Feng Zhang suddenly shouted.
After hearing this, Li Chuan quickly leaned down and looked under the bed. Sure enough, the hole beside the bed disappeared.
Jiang Mei said: "You have killed the evil beast and rescued the king. The dreamland of the cave has returned to stability, and the entrance has naturally disappeared."
"But I am their general? What will happen if they are invaded by thieves again and other evil beasts appear again if I am gone?" Feng Zhang said.
Li Chuan saw the disappointment in his eyes and said: "When they need a general, they will definitely show up again. Then remember to send me a letter. Don't forget, I am also the prime minister of Lilliput. The king promised to give me One hundred taels of gold and silver, but they haven’t been cashed in yet.”
"Okay, I will definitely pay attention to under the bed every day." Feng Zhang said.
Thump thump thump, footsteps sounded.
Not long after, Feng Xiucai ran in out of breath. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw Feng Zhang and said, "Zhang'er, you are back. You scared me to death."
Then he saw Li Chuan and asked, "Dr. Li, how are you now?"
"Where have you been? It's so late and someone is looking for you?" Li Chuan asked.
Feng Xiucai said: "My brother-in-law was drunk... I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I gave him a few coins and sent him away, and then I came back quickly. Oh, I made you laugh."
Li Chuan knew that it was Feng Xiucai's family matter, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "The matter here has been settled." He recounted what happened in the Lilliput Kingdom again, and then said, "Young Master is very clever, no matter what. Whether you study literature or martial arts, you will definitely achieve a lot."
Feng Xiucai was very happy after hearing this and said: "According to your good advice, as long as he does not cause trouble, I will be satisfied."
It was already dark at this time, and after chatting for a few words, they dispersed.
After Li Chuan, Wukong, and Jiang Mei returned to the house, Li Chuan finally found the opportunity to ask Jiang Mei, "Director Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Mei replied: "I heard Wu Kong chanting sutras, so I came over." He looked at Wu Kong and asked: "Master Wu Kong, can you tell me where you learned this method of chanting sutras? "
Wukong said: "It was passed to me by an old monk." He told Jiang Mei the origin of the scripture, "When the old monk was rescued by me, it was already time for the oil to purify and the lamp to dry up. He asked After his death, I burned his body and scattered his ashes several times in rivers and mountains. After I agreed, he passed this scroll to me."
This is the second time Li Chuan has listened to Wu Kong's explanation of the origin of the scriptures. The first time he listened, he just felt that the old monk's behavior was different. But now that he listens to it again, he can taste some other meanings.
There is obviously something wrong with the old monk's identity.
Wu Kong was obviously aware of this, and he directly asked the doubts in his heart: "Director Jiang, is there something wrong with this scripture? Just tell me directly, and I will believe you."
He said: "When the old monk sat down and passed away, the room was filled with Buddha's light. So although I thought what he asked me to do was a bit strange, I didn't think of going anywhere else. I just thought he might have some difficulties and didn't want anyone else to do it. It’s just that people find their burial place. If...if there is really something wrong with the scriptures, I will just stop reading them in the future."
Jiang Mei said: "I listened to you chanting sutras, and I felt that the spiritual energy around me was changing with your tone. I have only seen this kind of situation with a few great masters in Mount Xumi in the past."
Jiang Mei paused and said: "I have some speculations in my mind. I think this scripture may be related to the demon clan. But I don't understand Buddhism, so I can't be sure whether it is."
Seeing the solemn expressions of Li Chuan and Wu Kong, Jiang Mei added: "However, even if it is related to the demon clan, it is still a meritorious deed if you recite it and use it to subdue demons and eliminate demons."
"Won't you become a demon just by thinking about it?" Li Chuan asked.
"Of course not..." Jiang Mei laughed, and then he explained: "The gods and demons may have left behind some backup, but the relics of their skills and even their inheritance are not untouchable. only……"
"Just what?" Wu Kong asked.
"Heaven allowed the two tribes of gods and demons to live in this world. They were destroyed so quickly because they regarded the creatures in this world as livestock slaves. Therefore, they were hated by all living things, and were ultimately not tolerated by heaven." Jiang Mei looked out the window and said : "Practice of gods and demons will not cause disaster, but if he wants to rely on the inheritance of skills to enslave all things, his heart is no longer that of a monk, and his end... will be the same as the gods and demons. "
Wu Kong understood Jiang Mei's words and said, "I only chant sutras to ward off demons."
"That's okay." Jiang Mei said.
Afterwards, the three of them discussed the identity of the old monk and decided to investigate further after the incident was over. Seeing that Li Chuan was too sleepy to open his eyes, Jiang Mei said, "Wukong and I will go back first. You have a good sleep. We will talk another day."
The next day, Feng Xiucai looked a little disappointed when he saw that only Li Chuan was there. However, he still organized the banquet well, thanked Li Chuan, and asked Feng Zhang to propose a toast to Li Chuan.
During the dinner, Li Chuan saw that Feng Zhang's expression was still a little disappointed, so he invited him and said, "Little General, do you want to go back with me today? I will take you to see Blacksmith Cen forge."
"Blacksmith Cen? Is he the blacksmith you mentioned who is good at making weapons?" Feng Zhang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"That's him. I'll ask him to give you a sword." Li Chuan said.
"Okay, I'll go back with you. When will you leave? I'll go pack my luggage now..."
With that said, Feng Zhang ran out quickly.
Feng Xiucai wanted to make friends with Li Chuan, so he did not stop him. He just apologized to Li Chuan and continued to toast him.
After drinking and eating, Li Chuan took out his small carriage and took Feng Zhang to Yunqiao Township with Feng Zhang's surprised eyes.
