After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Chang Sheng nodded slowly, stood up, and walked to the fire to add firewood to the bonfire.
Seeing that Changsheng didn't answer, Zhang Mo just thought that he didn't approve of his actions, and then said softly, "If you feel compassion, we can also destroy the scriptures on the stone wall, but in this way, the tree demon and those The ghosts of children are no longer bound, and if they cause trouble in the future, we will be responsible."
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Chang Sheng still didn't answer. He had a habit of not killing the other party if they told him the truth, because in his opinion, telling the truth is a sign of sincerity, and sincerity should be rewarded. and forgiveness.
The so-called "horse power can be seen from a distance, and people's hearts can be seen over time." It only applies to ordinary people. Anyone with a discerning eye has the ability to see the whole thing at a glance. To understand a person, it does not require long-term observation and getting along with him. Although Zhang Mo did not get along with Chang Sheng day and night. , but she understood his temper through what he had done before. Seeing that Changsheng was silent, she knew that Changsheng was hesitating, so she said again, "Even if the ghosts of the tree demon and the child did not do evil, the tree demon's body is still there. Here, you are not allowed to go far into the mountains. If Taoists or monks come here again in the future and see them roaming freely without restraint, I am worried that they will cause harm to the world, and I am afraid that they will take action and surrender."
Changsheng nodded and said, "It makes sense. The scriptures in the Simianshan Mountain are of course a kind of restriction for them, but they are also a protection for them. Without these scriptures of salvation, they would have been destroyed in the past few decades. The Taoist or Buddhist masters who passed by were surrendered. It was precisely because those people discovered that there were invisible imprisonment and salvation scriptures here, so they did not touch them."
After Chang Sheng finished speaking, Zhang Mo said, "That's true. Restraint is not necessarily protection, but protection will definitely be accompanied by restraint."
By this time, Changsheng had already made up his mind not to interfere in this matter, "Hey, do you think the monks who carved the scriptures back then had thought of this?"
"Do you mean that they carved the scriptures simply to save the tree demons and dead souls, or did you think that the scriptures left behind were a kind of protection for them?" Zhang Mo asked casually.
"Yeah." Changsheng nodded.
Zhang Mo said with a smile, "Then you have to ask them, but I feel it should be the former, because monks have a big characteristic in their behavior. They do not lack perseverance, but they are not humane and do not understand the world. Although they are kind-hearted, they are... Not putting yourself in other people’s shoes.”
"If you don't enter the mortal world, you won't understand the mortal world." Changsheng said.
"Yes, that's what I mean," Zhang Mo nodded.
Changsheng said, "Shi Xuanming also thought of this, so he boldly walked into the world of mortals, felt the sufferings of the world, and experienced the various conditions of the mortal world, instead of treating the lust of the mortal world as a scourge and avoiding it like other monks."
"Shi Xuanming has a high level of understanding. Although he was expelled from the Shaolin Temple, his devotion to Buddhism has never wavered," Zhang Mo said. "This person will definitely become a great eminent monk in the future."
"The premise is that he can escape unharmed." Changsheng said.
Seeing that Chang Sheng was worried again, Zhang Mo hurriedly changed the topic. As the saying goes, the moon waxes and wanes, and so does people. Everyone's emotions will have ups and downs, and Chang Sheng is naturally no exception. Since the return of Silla, Chang Sheng has Her mood has been very low, and what she needs to do is to help Changsheng get out of the shock as soon as possible.
"Tongchen and others have already set off at this time. Let's rest for a while and hit the road early." Zhang Mo said.
Since he couldn't help the tree demon and those children's souls, Changsheng didn't want to stay here any longer. Hearing Zhang Mo's words, he stood up straight and said, "Let's go, set off immediately."
Seeing Changsheng throw the firewood in his hand back to the pyre instead of throwing it into the bonfire, Zhang Mo immediately guessed what he was thinking. She had known that Changsheng would not take advantage of others, but she didn't expect that he would be so sensitive. These firewood It was the souls of those children who moved in. They could not provide help or benefit to them. Changsheng was not even willing to burn another piece of firewood.
Zhang Mo saw through it but did not say anything, and then called out to the tree demon. When the other party appeared outside the door, Zhang Mo expressed his attitude and the reason why he could not break the imprisonment. Although what Zhang Mo said was indeed reasonable, the tree demon was imaginary. The hunchbacked old man who has turned into a man is still depressed and depressed.
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he left the monk's house with Chang Sheng and walked through the front yard to the entrance of the temple. Young Master Hei and the sweaty horse were not far to the east. Seeing Changsheng appear, Young Master Hei took the sweaty horse with him. BMW came to greet him.
The two got on their horses and saw the tree demon and the group of little ghosts standing under the gate of the temple waving goodbye. After Zhang Mo pondered, he took out the talisman and quickly drew something, "You told the truth to my husband earlier, and these children helped to carry away the cold." Firewood, I should leave you something. I am Zhang Mo from Longhu Mountain, and my husband Li Changsheng is the heroic prince of the Tang Dynasty. Please keep this blessing charm properly. If someone from Xuanmen comes to trouble you in the future, Take it out and it will keep you safe.”
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, he stretched out his spiritual energy and waved the talisman to the tree demon through the air. The tree demon took the talisman and was overjoyed. He hurriedly called on all the little ghosts to kneel down and thank them.
Zhang Mo's approach is exactly what Changsheng wants. He is most afraid of owing others favors. Even if it is just a trivial kindness, he will repay it in return.
If there was nothing else, the two of them might delay for a few days and try to resolve the matter, but things had to be prioritized. Now that the two of them were in a hurry to rush to Gupo Mountain, the matter of the tree demon and the dead souls could only be dealt with to this extent.
The two of them rode away under the watch of the tree demon and the little ghost. Zhang Mo had tried to stop the rain before, but it only stopped in the nearby area. It was still raining lightly in other areas. The two of them rode fast and kept running. We traveled more than two hundred miles before leaving the rainy area.
The sweat-blooded BMW that Zhang Mo rides is Yu Yi's mount. The sweat-blooded BMW is indeed magical, but it cannot absorb external spiritual energy like Young Master Hei. As a result, it cannot control the air and volley, and it needs to waste more energy if it cannot walk in a straight line. It took a long time until the two of them arrived in Shuzhou, Jiangbei in the afternoon.
Shuzhou has always been under the control of Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu, but they were leading their troops to march westward at this time and were not in Shuzhou. After arriving in Shuzhou, Changsheng was not in a hurry, but went to Fuya for a temporary stop.
Changsheng came to the government office for two purposes. One was to allow Zhang Mo to take a bath and rest. Although Zhang Mo had traveled around the world before, her mount at that time was a white crane. Riding a horse was quite hard for her. In addition, the weather in summer It’s hot. Although purple energy masters won’t sweat profusely because of the heat, it’s best to rinse off if conditions permit.
The second is to instruct Chen Xuanyi, who is staying in Shuzhou, to prepare dry food. Starting today, he will prepare 60 kilograms of food and 60 kilograms of drinks every day. The food is half a kilogram of corn flour cakes, finely ground corn, with torreya, hazelnuts, and melon seeds. The dried fruits are crushed to make kernels, and the drink is soy milk with honey added.
These foods were naturally prepared for the people of the Shaolin Temple. As the saying goes, a strong general does not need a hungry soldier. The people of the Shaolin Temple traveled a long distance, so they had to be fed. And he was very sure that the food he prepared would be enough for the Shaolin Temple monks, because of this Dried fruits and honey are extremely precious and cannot be eaten by ordinary people on weekdays. The reason why soy milk is chosen as the drink is because Shaolin monks drink a lot of soy milk on weekdays, so they must have the habit of drinking soy milk.
Naturally, Chen Xuanyi would not slack off on what Changsheng had told him, and immediately took people out to buy ingredients. Changsheng did not tell the purpose of the food, and he did not ask questions.
After Chen Xuan left, Changsheng took the time to take a shower, and then went back to his room to take a nap. However, he did not share the same room with Zhang Mo. Although he liked staying with Zhang Mo, he was not very used to it. Zhang Mo was always next to him. I was so distracted that I couldn't sleep.
When he woke up, Chen Xuanyi had already led the kitchen to make several noodle cakes. Seeing Changsheng open the door, he hurriedly brought the freshly baked noodle cakes to him to taste. Changsheng called Zhang Mo, and the two sat down to try them. , there are so many good things added to the pancake, it’s hard not to think it tastes good, and the soy milk with honey added after cooking is also very refreshing, but too much honey is added, which makes it a bit greasy.
Changsheng pointed out the shortcomings, and then wrote down a prescription and asked Chen Xuanyi to prepare the medicine according to the prescription. This was a prescription to stop bleeding and heal injuries, and was also prepared for Shaolin monks.
Changsheng was careful, thinking that most of the Shaolin monks were from the north and were not familiar with the southern vegetation. In addition, Lingnan Road was hot and humid, so he ordered Chen Xuanyi to prepare a large amount of toilet paper. Don't underestimate toilet paper. It is also a luxury item, but this Nowadays, we no longer care about luxury. There are many poisonous plants in the south. If the leaves pulled off by the monks are poisonous, and if you get prickly heat, how can you fight?
After explaining the trivial matters, Changsheng stood up eagerly and stuffed the remaining pancakes into the bag, "Okay, we have to go. Prepare what I want as soon as possible. After taking this batch, prepare the next batch immediately."
"Your Majesty, the bread is not ready yet, please wait a moment..."
Before Chen Xuan could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand and interrupted him, "I won't take it now. Someone will come to take it then. All the prepared things will be given to this room. Try to block the news from the outside world. Don't mess with everyone. Know."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will understand." Chen Xuanyi nodded solemnly.
"Have the horseshoes been changed?" Changsheng asked casually.
"It has been changed a long time ago," Chen Xuan nodded, "the fodder has been fed."
Changsheng made a gesture to Zhang Mo. The latter understood and immediately got up and went to the next door to get his things.
"I'll go get your horse." Chen Xuan walked out quickly.
Changsheng packed up the noodles and put the bag on his back. After checking around, he found that nothing was missing, and then he hurried out.
Zhang Mo also went out at this time and followed Chang Sheng quickly to the front yard, "Why are you in such a hurry? Shaolin monks shouldn't be so fast."
"It's not the Shaolin monks," Changsheng shook his head and said, "It's Datou and the others. They have already arrived at Gupo Mountain. They just pointed out the location to me with the spiritual token. Let's rush there as soon as possible to meet them..."
