In a lounge of Zhiyuan Temple.
The abbot of Zhiyuan Temple sneaked in, closed the wooden door, and then secretly took out a jug of wine from behind the Buddha statue.
A sniff.
The aroma of wine is inhaled into the lungs.
He suddenly showed a drunken look.
Then he poured it into his mouth in one big gulp.
However, as soon as I poured in a small amount, the door was opened: "Cough cough cough cough!!"
He quickly wiped his mouth clean and hid the bottle.
After seeing that the person coming was Elder Jinchi, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Elder Jinchi walked in dejectedly, then slumped down and sat down as if he couldn't support his weight.
The abbot of Zhiyuan Temple chuckled, took out the wine flask again and took a sip.
Ha~ a sound.
Then he walked to Elder Jinchi and sat down: "Master Jinchi, what makes you so upset? Why don't you take a sip of wine and talk to me about it again?"
Elder Jinchi stretched out his hand and refused: "I don't like this sip, you can drink it yourself..."
Zhiyuanji shook his head helplessly.
In his opinion, Elder Jinchi and he were obviously on the same path. Since you have already violated the greed precept, why should you stick to other precepts?
The abbot of Zhiyuan Temple took another sip: "As the saying goes, after wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha remains in the heart. Master, why should you care? In my opinion, people are all in this world, and if you can enjoy it, then enjoy it as much as possible~"
Elder Jinchi sighed: "Hey~, you don't understand how I feel. I have been chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name for fifty years, but I still haven't gotten any immortal fate or immortal treasures. You ask me, how can I be willing to do this~"
The abbot of Zhiyuan Temple almost spat out the wine he had just poured into his mouth. He quickly interrupted: "Master, you don't want to pay attention to those monsters' treasures, do you? Master, I advise you to think twice~ Although We monks can live freely here, and our status is not low.
But no matter what, the Divine Tiger Kingdom is still the territory of monsters. Usually they just turn a blind eye to us. If we really provoke a monster, I'm afraid..."
I have to say that this Zhiyuan Temple elder is still very discerning.
He can fool the people, but he doesn't dare to offend monsters.
So so far, he has had no problems.
As for the things he caused, they would only hurt Li Ergou at most.
As for Li Ergou, because "Zhao Lei respects Buddhism and Taoism", he would always be open to these monks or Taoists.
In addition, this abbot is good at pretending to be pitiful.
With the abbot's status, it would be even more difficult to convict him of his crime.
After all, there is no evidence, and who would believe that an 'advantaged monk' can drink, live in wealth, and be good at everything?
Hearing what the abbot of Zhiyuan Temple said, Elder Jinchi sighed even more helplessly.
Not long after, a young monk knocked on the door.
"Abbot Abbot!"
"Come in~"
After the young monk came in, he saw that Elder Jinchi was also here, and first glanced at the abbot of Zhiyuan Temple.
The abbot of Zhiyuan Temple said very cheerfully: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Master Jinchi is one of our own. I, the abbot, cannot talk to others about anything."
"Abbott, sister-in-law, she..."
"Cough cough cough cough! cough cough cough cough!" When the abbot of Zhiyuan Temple heard the word sister-in-law, he quickly apologized to Elder Jinchi on the side and said with a smile, "Hehehehe, Master Jinchi, my wife has something important to do, so I will excuse you now." .”
Elder Jinchi nodded disappointedly and waved his hand.
Indicates that he understands.
After the abbot of Zhiyuan Temple left, Elder Jinchi couldn't forget those so-called extraordinary treasures, and murmured to himself: "I won't pay attention to them, but I will go and see what those extraordinary treasures are like. There should be no problem." Bar?"
After saying that, Elder Jinchi cheered up again, left the room, and went out to wander the streets.
Started to come into contact with monsters intentionally or unintentionally.
…
at the same time.
In a private room in Zuixiang Building.
After class today, the three demons, the black bear spirit, the white snake spirit, and the gray wolf spirit, came here to defeat them.
After eating and drinking enough.
The three demons finally sat there leisurely, gnashing their teeth.
At this time, the Gray Wolf Spirit said for no reason: "Hey, what do you think? On the White Tiger side, should we join, or should we just watch..."
Before the Gray Wolf Spirit could finish speaking, the Black Bear Spirit immediately changed from a slumped position to sitting upright, and then reached out to stop the Gray Wolf Spirit from continuing to speak.
The black bear spirit glanced left and right.
He signaled that the gray wolf spirit had ears across the wall, so stop talking nonsense.
Then, the black bear spirit stood up and walked out to the door of the box.
Open the door, stick your head out, and look left and right.
After confirming that no one was there, he returned to the box again and repeated the same action on the window of the box. After double-checking that no one was around, he returned to his seat with a solemn look and said, "Be careful, the walls have ears. We should wait until we get to a safe place to discuss these matters."
Both Cang Lang Jing and White Snake Jing nodded in agreement.
After paying the bill.
The teahouse where the three demons left.
Then he walked furtively, looking left and right, in a certain direction.
not far away.
Elder Jinchi, who was still exploring extraordinary treasures, immediately became energetic when he saw the mysterious appearance of the three black bear spirits!
He recognized the three black bear spirits. He remembered that the king of the Divine Tiger Kingdom often entertained the three of them.
He couldn't see how high the cultivation level of the three demons was.
But to be so valued by the King of the Divine Tiger Kingdom, his status must not be low!
Now seeing how sneaky the three black bear spirits are, I have a firm idea in my mind: there must be a treasure!
So, he followed sneakily.
It didn't take long.
The three black bear spirits came to a sparsely populated alley.
Knock, knock—knock!
After knocking on a code with two short words and one long word in the alley, a little demon opened the door furtively. Seeing that there were three black bear spirits, he first put his head out of the door and looked around.
After confirming that no one was following him, he waved hastily, signaling the three black bear spirits to come in quickly.
After entering, there are all kinds of smoky scenes.
There are gambling stalls, wine fights, and erhu players, making it an ancient disco venue.
Just as the little demon was about to ask something, the black bear spirit handed over a piece of broken silver: "Arrange a quieter private room."
It didn't take long.
The little demon took the three black bear spirits to an exquisite box.
The box was filled with the fragrance of flowers.
There are also magnificent decorations.
It must be a VIP suite, worthy of the status of the three black bear spirits.
This secret venue is a 'nightclub' dedicated to entertaining monsters.
The little demon said very politely: "Hey, you demon masters, what kind of service do you want?"
The black bear spirit waved his hand: "Bring us some fine wine and fruits first, and we will let you know when we make a decision."
"okay!"
After a while, the exquisite fruit plate and fine wine were brought up: "Hey, gentlemen, if you need anything, please pass it on~"
After saying that, the little demon bowed and backed away.
The service attitude of ordinary people was imitated to perfection by them.
Canglangjing took a sip of wine and said, "Hey, I have to say, after living here for a while, I don't want to go back."
White Snake Spirit picked up a piece of iced watermelon and chewed it: "Who says it's not? A place like a cave where dogs don't poop, how can a monster live there?"
The black bear spirit picked up a grape and threw it into the air. The grape was caught firmly by his mouth: "There is a truth. What the white tiger said is indeed right. We and mortals are both mortal beings. Why should we? They live in caves and mountains and forests. Why do you still have to hide when you see them? Isn’t this situation in the Divine Tiger Country very good? "
After saying that, the three demons looked at each other.
They all shook their heads and sighed.
Everyone knows the truth.
But looking at the entire mortal world, it is estimated that only the Divine Tiger Kingdom can do this.
After a moment of self-reflection, the three demons finally got to the point.
The black bear spirit praised: "I have to say, I admire this white tiger for both his knowledge and his strategy. He actually thought of using such small favors to enslave mortals and make them serve us willingly. Throughout the ages, who has thought of this method? Woolen cloth?"
The Gray Wolf Spirit echoed: "It's ridiculous that those mortals think that White Tiger is sincerely good to them, and everyone is grateful. Who doesn't know that their whole lives are just pawns for us and other demon clans."
The White Snake Spirit smiled and said: "Hahahaha, isn't this what Bai Hu said? After being betrayed by a demon, do you still need to help count the money?"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Hahahahaha!"
At this moment, there was a crashing sound outside the window.
The three demons suddenly looked at each other with concentration: "Who?!"
The three demons used their spiritual senses to explore at the same time, and then found the aura of living creatures and fled quickly.
The black bear looked at the white snake spirit and the gray wolf spirit seriously: "Whether we join the white tiger or not, it is a major matter for the demon clan, and this matter must not be discovered by any mortal!"
The White Snake Spirit and the Gray Wolf Spirit nodded, and then with a swipe sound, the three demons turned into black shadows and chased after them...
…
the other side.
The person who accidentally made noise outside the window just now was naturally Elder Jinchi who wanted to spy on the extraordinary treasure.
He was panting now as he ran away.
He didn't expect that he just wanted to see the extraordinary treasure? To hear such a shocking secret!
It turns out that there is a big conspiracy hidden in the entire Shenhu Kingdom!
It turns out that the king of the Divine Tiger Kingdom is not a compassionate tiger monster!
It turns out that the king of the Divine Tiger Kingdom wants to enslave mortals in order to achieve his ulterior secret!
Ami, you Buddha!
If I had known I wouldn't have gone out today!
I didn’t expect that the Divine Tiger Country would be so dangerous!
He originally thought that it would be so easy to accumulate wealth in the Divine Tiger Kingdom, and that it would be pie in the sky for him. Unexpectedly, he would actually be sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth!
If he doesn't escape from the Divine Tiger Kingdom, his life may really be decided here.
As soon as he returned to Zhiyuan Temple, Elder Jinchi started packing his luggage in a panic.
Seeing this, the young monks who came with him also came over to ask.
"Abbott, what's wrong with you?"
"Yes, Abbot, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Elder Jinchi suddenly remembered the news he had recently inquired about, that monsters can detect other people's auras. So he quickly took off his cassock and hung it on one of the young monks.
"Abbott, you are..."
"This cassock suits you very well, wear it."
After hanging up the cassock, I decided that it was not enough.
Elder Jinchi stuffed pieces of clothing on his body to different young monks.
In the end, even the golden rod was given to one of the young monks.
This made all the young monks look in disbelief.
Their abbot, who is usually so stingy, is so generous today?
But when they reacted, Elder Jinchi had already taken the baggage, left Zhiyuan Temple in a hurry, and rushed out of the royal city.
The black bear spirit also followed the aura and came to Zhiyuan Temple.
Out of scruples about Buddhism, they did not dare to mess around.
I didn't know what to do for a while.
But the situation is critical, and they must not leak the news.
In the end, the black bear spirit gritted his teeth and said: "No matter what, just rush in! I will bear all the consequences!"
I rushed in and naturally found the young monks.
"That's not it!"
"Not this either!"
"Not this one either!"
"In that direction! He escaped in that direction!" The black bear spirit first looked at the direction in which Elder Jinchi escaped, and then turned to the green wolf spirit and the white snake spirit and said, "You keep an eye on them and don't let them leave!"
White Snake Spirit and Gray Wolf Spirit nodded.
Then, the black bear spirit chased in the direction of Elder Jinchi.
Not long after he stepped out of the royal city, the black bear spirit pointed in the direction where Elder Jinchi was escaping and shouted: "You damn bald donkey, stop here!!"
He went to Elder Jinchi, who was still running away in embarrassment. He was crying for his father and mother, and ran away feebly: "Master Guanyin, Master Guanyin~ I have worshiped you for so long, and I have received all the merits! Why don't you still? Come and save me?"
Even at the critical moment of life and death, Elder Jinchi was still reluctant to leave behind his burden...
…
at the same time.
Chaoyin Cave in Putuo Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, wearing a dragon bun on her head, wearing a Su Luo robe and holding a pure bottle of nectar hanging from a willow tree, is sitting cross-legged on a lotus and reciting scriptures silently.
At this moment, the voice of Tathagata Buddha suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Guanyin."
Guanyin Bodhisattva opened his eyes and quickly responded respectfully: "Disciple is here."
"How are you planning your trip to the west?"
"Buddha, please rest assured. My disciples have already made arrangements for the journey to the west. When the five hundred years are up, everything will move on its own."
"Well, then you just have to figure it out."
"Disciple, obey."
Immediately afterwards, the Buddha's voice stopped ringing.
Guanyin Bodhisattva continued to chant sutras with his eyes closed.
It didn't take long.
Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly frowned.
She counted with her fingers.
Figured something was wrong.
There seems to be something wrong with the chess pieces she arranged.
So Guanyin Bodhisattva activated her magic power and flew out of the cave together with the lotus flower under her seat.
…
the other side.
The scene returned to Elder Jinchi.
If he hadn't been delayed for a while at Zhiyuan Temple and chased by the black bear spirit, Elder Jinchi would never have been able to escape here.
In addition, he was reluctant to throw away the baggage.
So, without any suspense, he was quickly caught up by the black bear spirit: "Damn bald donkey, stop right here!"
The black bear spirit rushed over and knocked down Elder Jinchi.
Elder Jinchi stumbled and hurriedly spared his life: "Master Demon, please have mercy! Master Demon, please have mercy! I am old, my eyes are dim, my eyes are blindfolded, my ears are deaf, I really didn't hear anything!"
The black bear spirit smiled cruelly and raised his paw: "Huh, you know too much!"
Just when the black bear spirit was about to take action, Guanyin Bodhisattva finally arrived at this critical moment...
