Liaozhai: Starting from Inheriting Taoism

Chapter 315 East Black Wind West Bull Demon
Carrying the wine bottle, the monkey returned all the way to the Guanyin Temple, but with the wine in his hand and the worm in his belly, how could he resist drinking and opened a bottle directly.

Mmmm, incense!
It really is good wine, the Taoist priest really didn't lie to me.

The monkey's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to drink a big gulp. As for Ye Feng's strong stamina, the monkey didn't care at all. No matter how strong the wine was, he had drunk it before, and when did he ever get drunk.

Flying all the way, drinking all the way, when I got back to the Guanyin Temple, the two bottles of wine had already been drunk.

"Huh? Why are so many people setting firewood?"

The monkey looked at the scene below suspiciously, and there were more than ten people setting firewood in the monkey's field of vision. How could this be the posture of only burning two wing rooms.

"Well, there are more than ten people!"

The monkey shook his body and shook his head, but he was already drunk, and there was no more than a double image of anyone.

Seeing that those people were about to set fire to it, the monkey quickly cheered up and threw down the fire cover, instantly covering the two rooms where Xuanzang was staying.

At this time Xuanzang was also tired from talking, and was soundly asleep, but he didn't know that the outside room was already full of flames.

Seeing that the fire really caught fire, the monkey felt happy, "It's on, it's on, let's see my old grandson add more fire to you."

As he said, he exhaled into the wind and fanned the fire. The original intention was that a gust of wind would lead the fire to the old abbot's main hall, but at this time the monkey was really dizzy and couldn't find the direction, so a wind from east to west came directly from north to south, and flowers bloomed in all directions.

The two monks who set the fire had seen what it means to set themselves on fire, but they were already surrounded by fire when they wanted to run away.

This night is doomed to sleepless.

After the monkey set the fire, his eyelids drooped and he couldn't hold on any longer. He turned into a wisp of green smoke and went back to the wing to sleep.

But there is a mountain not far from Guanyin Mountain, named Heifeng Mountain, and there is a demon king on this mountain, named Heifeng King, that's right, it is the black bear spirit that Ye Feng had accepted before.

Since the last time Ye Feng left, Hei Feng has followed Ye Feng's instructions to practice closed-mouth meditation. This practice has lasted for a hundred years, but it has tortured Hei Feng, especially in the first few years. Hei Feng's favorite thing in his life is just collecting treasures and It's just bragging, and now he is asked to quit the cowhide all at once, but it is more painful than letting the old smoker quit smoking.

In the first few years, whenever Heifeng wanted to talk, he didn't dare to break the precept, so he could only find a fight with the demon kings of Xiniu Hezhou to distract his attention.

The black bear spirit is originally the strength of the Taiyi Golden Immortal. In this kind of demon king in Hezhou, Xiniu, it is already the first echelon in terms of strength. When Ye Feng left, he bestowed Heifeng, the Ninth Grade Demon Immortal Art, and the Qi Forbidden Art , Birth of Light, Great Strength, Carrying Mountains, Wall Opening, Rock Leaping, and with the Houtian Lingbao Black Iron Rod in hand, the Black Bear Spirit is even rarer to meet opponents.

A hundred years later, Xiniu Hezhou has already had the titles of Dong Heifeng and Xi Niu Demon. The famous big demon, in terms of reputation, is already recognized by Xiniu Hezhou as the leader of the demons on the bright side. When the monkeys made troubles in the heavenly palace, they sworn obeisance to the six most famous demon kings in the world.

In addition to the Bull Demon King, there are Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, Lion Camel King, Macaque King, and Yu Tamarin King. At that time, the seven monsters were all Taiyi Jinxian cultivation bases, Sun Wukong was the lowest cultivation level, and the Bull Demon King was the well-deserved boss. Later, the other six demons also called the Bull Demon King Big Brother.

And what was Black Wind then?It's just an unknown black bear spirit, and how many people know the existence of the black bear spirit, but after meeting Ye Feng, within a short hundred years, it became familiar to all the monsters in Hezhou, Xiniu.

When it comes to Heifeng, their first impression must be: that is the ruthless Heifeng King.

Closed-mouth meditation is the ultimate mind-training technique in Buddhism. It is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult to practice. It is rare to persist for a few days, let alone a hundred years.

A hundred years of closed-mouth meditation has not allowed Hei Feng to practice in vain. At this time, Hei Feng is no longer the impetuous temper of the past. Although the three thoughts of greed, hatred and ignorance have not been completely rooted out, they have reached the state of moving with their hearts and not being confused by their hearts. .

The realm has also risen to a higher level, reaching the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal in the middle stage, which is higher than that of the monkey who has been hung up.

Although Heifeng has had a lot of glory in these years, he never forgets who gave everything today, and he is always thinking about Ye Feng's orders. Go out, just to find the monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

at night.

"My lord, it's not good, the direction of the Guanyin Temple is on fire!"

It was on fire, and the Black Wind King was shocked. He and the Guanyin Temple were old friends. Because of the close distance, before meeting Ye Feng, Hei Feng often went to and from the Guanyin Temple, and the previous abbot of the Guanyin Temple They are old friends, even this abbot still keeps in touch with each other from time to time.

At the beginning, he thought that the person who learned the Buddhist scriptures was also a monk, so he might not be able to spend the night in the Guanyin Temple, so he sent a few little demons to inquire about the news near the Guanyin Temple.

Without asking any more questions, Heifeng stepped out of the Batu Cave.

According to Ye Feng's teaching, Heifeng has been very proficient in the rock jumping technique for a hundred years, and he has already reached the top of the Guanyin Temple in just one jump.

What a big fire!

With Heifeng's cultivation base, he can see clearly what's going on at a glance, the fire cover is shining brightly, all the houses in the courtyard are covered, only two wing rooms are covered by the fire cover, there is no difference, This is really strange.

It's just that he has also heard that the fire shield is one of the four heavenly kings in the heavenly court, the treasure of the Guangmu Heavenly King. Could it be that it was written by the Guangmu Heavenly King? thing.

Turning his eyes to the old abbot's room, he took a closer look, and at this time the old abbot had already been reduced to ashes, but the room was full of charcoal, and only a golden light remained.

Out of curiosity, Hei Feng jumped in front of Jin Guang.

cassock!

Hei Feng, who had a lot of contact with the monk, naturally recognized what the golden light was at a glance!
What a spirit treasure!
There is no way to shut up the meditation, but this hobby of collecting treasures cannot be stopped, so this excellent vision is still maintained. At a glance, you can recognize that this cassock is an acquired spiritual treasure, or a top-grade one, no better than him. He didn't even know when the old abbot got such a good treasure, it was really hidden deep.

Thinking of what Ye Feng told me when he left to leave the monk’s cassock, Zen staff and alms bowl, the master must have liked these three pieces of Buddhism. The cassock in front of him is a rare treasure, and it must not be inferior to the Buddhist monk’s cassock, um , Be sure to take it away and dedicate it to the master.

Now that the old abbot is dead, this cassock is also ownerless, and it is not considered stealing if heifeng takes it away, um, yes, there is nothing wrong with it.

Thinking of this, Heifeng put the cassock in his arms, returned to the sky above the Guanyin Temple, and glanced at the two rooms under the fire cover again. Today, he has gained something, so he should take the cassock away first. As for the fire cover What's the matter, let's inquire about it tomorrow and then decide.

Thinking of this, Heifeng turned around and returned to Heifeng Mountain.

After returning to Heifeng Mountain, Heifeng touched the cassock, but it greatly satisfied his desire to collect. If such joy is not shared with others, the joy will at least be reduced by half.

"Second brother, third brother, if you have a baby, come to my cave and have a talk."

Of course, if you have a baby, you want to share it with your two good brothers as soon as possible. Heifeng directly transmits the sound to Ling Xuzi and the white-clothed scholar. Over the years, the development of Heifeng Mountain is inseparable from the support of Ling Xuzi and the white-clothed scholar. Xuzi's elixir and the advice of the elite in white are all indispensable factors for the rise of Heifengshan.

Over the past hundred years, Heifeng has often invited Ling Xuzi and the white-clothed scholar to appraise treasures. This time, the two demons were not surprised when they heard the sound transmission. After packing up, they went straight to the Heifeng Cave. Bring the pot of elixir prepared, ready to give Hei Feng as a gift.

The family is happy and the family is worried.

A good night’s dream. After Xuanzang got up, he first recited the scriptures a few times, and then came to the monkey and woke him up. Because of the matter of lending the cassock yesterday, Xuanzang rarely stayed up late, and dreamed at night. The cassock was damaged, so I didn't wake up in shock. Today is the date for them and the old abbot to return the cassock. Now when they wake up, it is natural to let the monkey get the cassock back first.

"Wukong, Wukong, wake up, the abbot borrowed the cassock yesterday, it's really hard for the teacher to rest assured, now that the time has come, you should go and get the cassock back quickly."

Wukong was sleeping soundly, and Xuanzang was forced to wake him up, so he was naturally a little upset, but thinking about what happened yesterday, he also wanted to see what the result would be, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Master, the old monk is afraid that he will not dare to covet our cassocks anymore. If you don't believe me, let's go out and have a look."

It's good that the monkey didn't speak, but the smell of alcohol came out of his body when he spoke.

The strong smell of alcohol almost made Xuanzang dizzy. Xuanzang hurriedly took a few steps back, covered his mouth and nose, and frowned, "Wukong, have you been drinking? The smell of alcohol is so strong, could it be possible for a monk to forget the three fastings and nine precepts?" Is it done?"

Seeing that Xuanzang was about to start talking again, Wukong quickly changed the subject.

"Master, I met an old friend yesterday, and the hospitality is hard to turn down. It won't happen in the future, it won't happen in the future, let's go get the cassock back first."

As he said that, he opened the door and walked out. Xuanzang was also concerned about the cassock, so he put aside the matter of Wukong's drinking and hurriedly followed out, but he was dumbfounded when he went out. The adjacent and quite prosperous Guanyin Temple turned into scorched earth at this time, and a group of monks had their faces covered with black stains, and they sat in the courtyard crying with their hats torn.

Thick black smoke filled the air and flowed in all directions with the sound of weeping. Once the thousand-year-old temple was destroyed, such a scene is really sad for those who hear it and tears for those who see it.

Seeing this, Xuanzang was even more shocked. He slept so sweetly in such a big fire yesterday, and he didn't notice it at all. Fortunately, the fire didn't spread to his house, otherwise he might have died today.

Thinking of this, Xuanzang was also curious for a while. Looking back, it was really a Guanyin Temple, but only the two rooms where he lived were intact. What's going on?
Xuanzang was not a fool, and soon realized that it might be the work of Monkey King.

"Wukong, what's going on?"

Thinking of the big apprentice going out in the middle of the night yesterday, getting up early and saying that the old abbot would not dare to covet their things anymore, a bad premonition arose in his heart, could it be that the fire had something to do with his big apprentice.

The monkey naturally couldn't admit it.

"Master, I don't know. I slept soundly yesterday. If Master wants to know, you might as well ask those monks."

Xuanzang was also quite helpless for his great apprentice, he couldn't just give the monkey a scripture meal just because of guesswork.

Thinking of this, Xuanzang could only ask one kind of monk.

"Everyone, what is going on here?"

A group of monks saw that it was Xuanzang who came, and they stopped crying. They were not fools. They set fire to the man yesterday, but the man was intact, but they lost themselves completely. How can they not guess Xuanzang? How many people are not ordinary people.

It's just that this process is quite embarrassing, how can they tell the whole story.

"Why are you hesitating? My master is asking a question, so hurry up and say it, and be careful that my old grandson will send you all away with a stick."

The monkey walked up to the monks one inch at a time, opened his mouth and drank, and the monks were terrified. If anyone was to say who was most likely to direct this tragedy, it must be the monkey. Seeing the monkey, the monks hurriedly backed away.

Some of them couldn't hold back anymore, and already knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Grandpa Monkey, this matter really has nothing to do with us. The abbot really liked Master Xuanzang's cassock yesterday. They are used to being flattering, so they came up with a bad idea to burn Master Xuanzang and take the cassock. It was his own, but who knew that Master Xuanzang was protected by Buddhism, a fire did not damage Master at all, but burned them all and the abbot completely, we really did not participate in it at all."

what!
Xuanzang was startled when he heard the words. Although he thought that the old abbot would play tricks, he never imagined that the old abbot, who looked like a Buddhist monk, would actually do such a thing of killing people and seizing treasures.

However, Xuanzang would not blame the old abbot for this matter, the man who blamed him is still a monkey.

He glared at the monkey, "Wukong, I told you not to take out the cassock, but you didn't listen. If it didn't happen yesterday, why would there be today's tragedy? Tell me what the fire is all about. If you dare to hide something, don't blame me for reciting the curse."

The monkey almost burst into anger when he heard the words, and covered his head with his hands reflexively, feeling miserable in his heart. He was obviously venting his anger for the master, and the master not only didn't praise him, but blamed him instead.

It's just that monkeys are afraid of the curse.

"Master, yesterday when my old grandson came out of the house, I just heard that some of them planned to set fire to us. With such vicious means, how could my old grandson not teach them a lesson, so we simply borrowed a fire cover from the heavens to set our house on fire?" Cover it up, but they set the fire themselves, and being burned is also the result of their own consequences."

Monkey is also smart, he didn’t say that he borrowed wind from east to west, north from south, otherwise Xuanzang’s character would be irrelevant, so give him a curse first.

"Wukong, since you have already discovered what happened to them, how can you not stop it in time, and now that someone is killed, how can this be good?"

Looking at Xuanzang's appearance, the monkey suddenly felt that it was fine if he let the fire burn him yesterday!

My heart was even more miserable, but I didn't dare to let Xuanzang get entangled in this matter, otherwise it would become more and more strange, and it was time to chant the mantra next.

"Master, the cassock is still in the old abbot's room, why don't we go and have a look first?"
