At night, in the Sutra Collection Pavilion of Lingyun Temple, Xu Shouguang put the jade ring on his left thumb and called in a low voice with some anxiety: "Hey, are you there?" After waiting for a long time, there was no response. Xu Shouguang became anxious. He opened his right hand and slapped the jade finger several times in succession. His tone was a little urgent and his voice was a little louder: "Hey! Are you there? Are you there?"
"Ah~ I'm here, I'm here, what's the matter?" The childish voice seemed to be yawning, and answered lazily.
"Yeah, that's great, that Bai this is still Bai that..."
"It's Master Bai Ze!" The young voice said seriously, having swept away the previous laziness.
"Okay, Xiaobai, I want to ask..."
"It's Master Bai Ze!" He repeated with a young voice and a fierce voice.
"Oh, okay, Master Bai Ze, Master Bai Ze. By the way, Xiao Bai, I want to ask what is going on?"
Seeing Xu Shouguang still shouting like a child, his childish voice was completely speechless, and he simply didn't bother to argue with him and asked: "What's going on?"
"Just because I know the name of this jade ring, the three evil stars in the daytime are going to kill me and silence me. What is the origin of this ring? Who are you?"
Xiaobai seemed to be interested when he heard that Xu Shouguang wanted to know the origin of the finger. He coughed twice and cleared his throat, and then tried his best to use a solemn and majestic voice, and said in a milky voice: "Say this... The Demon Suppressing Evil Treasure Wheel has a great origin. It was the magic weapon that Zhang Daoling, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, carried with him. And I, Xiaobai... no... the Great God Bai Ze, turned out to be the most unique person in this world. A magical beast, after meeting Zhang Daoling, it turned into the spirit of the treasure wheel that subdues demons and suppresses evil, helping him conquer demons, overcome obstacles, and support justice along the way!"
After saying that, Xiaobai silenced and waited. Seeing that Xu Shouguang had not moved for a long time, Xiaobai finally couldn't help coughing twice more. Only then did Xu Shouguang react. He hurriedly raised his right thumb to the jade ring finger and said two words. Voice: "Awesome! Awesome!"
Xiaobai then looked a little embarrassed and said: "Hahaha, don't always say that, Tianshi Zhang has always warned us to be humble before!"
"That's it... so modest..." Xu Shouguang complained in his heart, but he immediately stopped the thought. This novice's voice seemed to be directly talking to Xu Shouguang's heart, what was he thinking..., but Xu Shouguang soon stopped. He was sure that Xiaobai couldn't read minds, and he had to speak out his words so that Xiaobai could hear him, because he had secretly tried to scold Xiaobai hundreds of times in his mind just now.
"Hey, Xiaobai, even if I know that this jade ring is called the Treasure Wheel of Subduing Demons and Suppressing Evils, and I know of your existence, Xiaobai, then they don't have to kill me to silence me..."
"Haha, don't be too naive. This Demon-Suppressing Evil-Suppressing Treasure Wheel is extremely powerful. There are many people in the world who covet it. Except for Zhang Tianshi, no one dares to hold this treasure in an open and fair manner. It's hard to silence you without killing you. Why don't we have to wait for you to spread the word and offend a bunch of big shots in the world for him?"
"Oh, yes. Then you said that this jade finger ring is extremely powerful. What kind of extremely powerful method is it?"
"You are really ignorant! Anyway, I will teach you today!" Xiaobai said in a contemptuous tone, "First of all, the treasure wheel of subduing demons and suppressing evil contains powerful righteousness. This righteousness is what the evil spirits are most afraid of. As long as you wear this treasure wheel, no matter what kind of weapon you hold, you can easily destroy the body-protecting evil spirit around the evil spirit, even with bare hands; secondly, there is a wish-fulfilling bag inside the treasure wheel of subduing demons and suppressing evil spirits, which can collect all things in the world. in..."
"Everything in the world!" Xu Shouguang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"As long as you can move it with your mind..."
"Oh..." Xu Shouguang looked a little disappointed.
"Looking at your country bumpkin appearance, you must not have telekinesis either."
Xu Shouguang nodded repeatedly.
"The power of mind is the true energy released from the outside. If you are lucky, there happens to be a copy of the "Xiaoyao Sutra". If you practice according to the book, the power of mind will be strengthened day by day."
As soon as Xiaobai finished speaking, a blue-covered sutra book fell from the bookshelf with a snap. Xu Shouguang hurriedly picked it up. When he looked at the cover, there were three big characters "Xiaoyao Jing" written on it. Xu Shouguang looked around hurriedly, and when he saw no one was around, he put the "Xiaoyao Sutra" in his arms.
"Finally, and the most important point, this great god is sitting in this treasure wheel of subduing demons and suppressing evil. This great god can recognize hundreds of demons and know all things. It was with my help that Master Zhang was able to kill all the demons and monsters in the world..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, is there anything else?"
"Gone."
After listening to Xiaobai's introduction to the jade finger ring, Xu Shouguang thought: "This is really a treasure, very suitable for me to travel around the world and become a hero in the future. The first one is Haoran's righteousness, which can make me not afraid of evil and become famous; the second one is wishful." The bag can store all the necessary items, which is a very practical skill, but now I need to improve my telekinesis. As for the third one, if Xiaobai doesn't brag, he is really a know-it-all and can give me a lot on the way. Information... Hehe, it seems that the great hero Xu Shouguang is about to rise!"
Xu Shouguang was just looking beautiful when he heard someone in the outer courtyard of the Sutra Pavilion shouting: "Who is there? Come out!"
Xu Shouguang was startled and said to himself: "This monk from Lingyun Temple is so powerful. He can actually see things from a distance. He could have been discovered even if I was hiding here!" Thinking of this, Xu Shouguang felt that it was no longer safe to stay in Lingyun Temple. , so he jumped, opened the window and jumped out. As soon as he turned over and landed, he saw a man in black in front of him. The man in black heard a sudden noise from behind and hurriedly turned around to look back, only to see Xu Shouguang half-kneeling on the ground with one hand on one knee.
Xu Shouguang looked at the man in black in front of him and thought to himself: "This black clothes and this outfit don't look like a monk from Lingyun Temple, but more... like a snitch..."
At this time, Xu Shouguang was gradually noisy behind him, and a group of monks lit fires and chased them this way. When the man in black saw the monk chasing after him, he quickly turned around and ran away. When Xu Shouguang saw this, he thought he was really a thief. He didn't care what the thief had stolen, so he got up and chased after him. However, he heard someone from the monks behind him shouting: " Over there!"
Xu Shouguang looked back and saw a bald little monk holding a torch in one hand and pointing at himself with the other. Then he saw a group of monks rushing toward him. Xu Shouguang cursed in his heart, and as soon as he touched the Xiaoyao Sutra in his arms, he had no choice but to run away. After running for a while, Xu Shouguang discovered that the physical strength and leg strength of the monks in Lingyun Temple were so good. Xu Shouguang walked left and right, climbing over walls and walls, without leaving the group of monks behind him.
Seeing that his physical strength would be exhausted if this continued, Xu Shouguang suddenly saw a huge seven or eight-story Buddhist pavilion standing diagonally in front of the river and against the cliff. He turned around and ran towards the large Buddhist pavilion. .
Entering the big Buddhist pavilion, Xu Shouguang quickly turned a corner, kicked off his legs, jumped up, and clung to the beam like a gecko. In just two breaths, Xu Shouguang saw a dozen monks cheering and holding torches running past him. Xu Shouguang held his breath and did not dare to make any move. It was not until the group of monks ran away that he fell down from the roof beam again.
Xu Shouguang had just turned it down and was about to get up when he saw a sneaky black shadow in the darkness moving up the stairs. Xu Shouguang took a closer look and saw that it was the man in black just now! Thinking of the embarrassing situation in which he was being chased, Xu Shouguang became furious and cursed in his heart: "Why are you stealing things, and I will take the blame... If I don't catch you today, I'll give you some color!"
So Xu Shouguang crouched and followed the shadow quietly up the stairs behind the man in black. This Buddhist pavilion is indeed tall and majestic. According to legend, it was built by Zen Master Haitong and completed in the 19th year of Zhenyuan, which lasted ninety years. There is a stone statue of Maitreya in this big Buddha Pavilion, which is more than twenty feet high. This big Buddha Pavilion is built against the cliff and around the stone statue of Maitreya. Xu Shouguang followed the man in black to the fifth floor, only to find that the man in black was missing!
Xu Shouguang looked around, but could not see any trace of the man in black, as if he had just disappeared out of thin air. Just when Xu Shouguang was wondering, Xu Shouguang suddenly heard a creaking sound coming from behind the chest of the Buddha. Looking around, he saw the man in black turning out from behind the Buddha, seemingly holding something in his hand.
With this real thief in his presence, Xu Shouguang was not afraid of provoking the monks from Lingyun Temple, so he made a decisive decision and shouted: "Stop!"
The man in black was also startled by the shout. He turned around and saw Xu Shouguang approaching him in a few strides. The man in black subconsciously took out a dagger from his waist, held it upside down in his hand, and quickly slashed it at Xu Shouguang's face. Xu Shouguang used the Immortal Step, firmly grasped the ground with both feet, and leaned backward, avoiding the blow at a very tricky and weird angle. Then Xu Shouguang immediately turned from defense to offense, stretched out his left hand and grabbed the chest of the man in black with five fingers, intending to use an iron mountain back, but as soon as his hand caught the chest of the man in black, Xu Shouguang suddenly felt that something was wrong with his hand, and he felt weak. It's soft and seems to be somewhat elastic.
"Female!" Xu Shouguang was startled and hurriedly released his palm. The female snitch was stunned for a moment, then immediately slapped Xu Shouguang in the face, then kicked Xu Shouguang in the abdomen, and cursed: "Dirty!"
Xu Shouguang was in pain and knelt down on the ground holding his lower abdomen. When he looked up again, the female snitch had jumped over the railing and onto the eaves. Then the female snitch glanced this way and continued to climb up the cliff like a gecko. Seeing that the female snitch was about to run away, Xu Shouguang endured the pain and stood up, climbed onto the eaves, and imitated the female snitch to climb up the cliff, but in the end his skills were not as good as others. When Xu Shouguang climbed to the top of the cliff By then, the female snitch had disappeared.
Xu Shouguang was looking around for traces of the female thief, when another monk jumped up from the Great Buddha Pavilion. He saw this monk wearing cassocks, holding a Zen staff, and had no hair or beard. The monk jumped up to see Xu Shouguang, gave a monk's salute, and said: "Amitabha, the sea of suffering is boundless, and when we turn around, we will find another shore. Please also ask the donor to return the demon-conquering pestle from our temple to me as soon as possible."
I knew this monk Xu Shouguang. His Buddhist name was Shikong. He was the abbot of Lingyun Temple. He once gave a lecture in Jiazhou City. At that time, the streets were crowded and ordinary people came to watch this eminent monk.
"Master Shi Kong, please listen to my explanation. I didn't take any magic pestle. The female snitch must have stolen it. I also chased the female snitch here."
"Donor, don't talk nonsense. That magic pestle is a treasure of our temple to suppress demons. It is of great use. Since the benefactor refuses to return it, please forgive me for being rude!" After that, Monk Shikong raised his Zen staff horizontally and made a pose. Offensive stance.
"Master..." Xu Shouguang was still about to explain something, when he saw a Zen staff in front of him, ranging from small to large, heading towards his door. Xu Shouguang quickly turned sideways to avoid it, and the Zen staff grazed the hair next to Xu Shouguang's ear and stabbed it. Although Xu Shouguang escaped the blow, there were two small iron rings around the head of the Zen staff. The small iron rings jingled in Xu Shouguang's ears, which seemed to disturb people's minds. Xu Shouguang instantly felt upset. He was so confused that he was not in the mood to pay attention to the punch coming from the monk in front of him.
With a bang, Monk Shikong's fist hit Xu Shouguang's chest hard. Xu Shouguang flew backwards two feet, and then fell heavily to the ground. But before Xu Shouguang could get up, Monk Shikong had already raised his Zen staff above his head, jumped up high, and struck Xu Shouguang hard with a jumping chop.
Faced with this fierce move, Xu Shouguang dared not hesitate at all. He saw Xu Shouguang roll to the side, first avoiding the Zen staff, then flipping around on the ground and quickly getting up, jumping back a small step and releasing. Monk Kong distanced himself. After pulling away, Xu Shouguang stretched out his hands, holding a small stone in each hand, and flicked them towards Monk Shikong. Although Monk Shikong could not see clearly at night, he heard the sound of the wind and knew that a hidden weapon was coming, so he turned his Zen staff and knocked away the two stones.
Xu Shouguang couldn't help but admire Monk Shikong's great skill when he saw how well he danced the huge Zen staff. At this time, Monk Shikong was already holding his Zen staff and took a step closer to Xu Shouguang. When the monk's steps were steady, he stabbed Xu Shouguang straight into the heart again. Xu Shouguang learned the lesson from the last time and knew that the iron rings on the Zen staff were disturbing, so he did not hide away. He just fell back and tightly grasped the two iron rings on the head of the Zen staff with both hands to prevent it from making any sound. sound.
Seeing Xu Shouguang hugging the head of the Zen staff, Monk Shikong simply used the Zen staff as a pestle. He held the Zen staff against Xu Shouguang and rushed forward. Xu Shouguang never thought that a Zen monk could have such great strength. He couldn't hold it back. Back away. Suddenly, Xu Shouguang felt that his right heel was missing. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw that he had reached the edge of the cliff. If he took another step, he would be in the abyss.
Xu Shouguang hurriedly used the Immortal Step, twisted his waist and rolled in a strange circle against the Zen staff, and stood back on the edge of the cliff. However, Monk Shikong was still moving forward due to inertia, and when the monk discovered it, he could no longer stop the momentum. Seeing that Monk Shikong was about to fall off the cliff and be shattered into pieces, Xu Shouguang put his arms around the monk's waist and rolled to the side with Monk Shikong in his arms. The monk's Zen staff fell off the cliff, and after a few breaths there was a dull sound of metal and stone colliding.
"Master, you can listen to me now..." Xu Shouguang sat on the ground and said to Monk Shikong who was also sitting on the ground.
