I'm just an ordinary Taoist priest

Chapter 7 Golden Buddha Temple

"Really you bastard?" The village chief was furious.

"Gen Sheng is your own younger brother, isn't he good enough for you? You're still killing him!"

Zhao Fuqi was a little flustered at first, but then he calmed down again: "Don't talk nonsense, although sage also has hallucinogenic side effects, it can also calm the mind."

"I see that he has been disturbed and distressed by ghosts recently. I went to the mountain to pick some sage and cooked some for him. I want to help him calm down. Is there anything wrong?"

Gu Yao nodded: "It makes sense, it's from my brother's love."

"By the way, do you know your younger sibling's cousin? It's the woman named Yinling'er."

Zhao Fuqi rolled his eyes: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

"Then what about the wandering Taoist priest you introduced? Would you like to introduce me?"

Zhao Fuqi smiled treacherously: "The Taoist priest is a crane in the clouds. He made a call or two, so he left naturally. Why would he stay here?"

Gu Yao was a little distressed. This guy denied it outright. He was sure that there was no trace of evil magic harming people. The only flaw was the sage, but he could also use reasons that he didn't know how much to get past.

Even if you report to the official, at most you will be punished.

The village head was already very angry: "You bastard, evil animal, how could our Zhao family give birth to such a thing as you!"

Only then did Zhao Fuqi restrain his smile: "Auntie, what are you talking about? What's wrong with me? Since you were young, you have always been happy. You don't like me. I also eat by hand. Did I break any law?"

"Craft? Gambling? Lost like this?"

"I'm happy to lose like this. Although I'm down and out now, who didn't envy me when I made money in the past? You can't even touch the oiran I played with!"

"you you!"

"Farewell to you, good aunt, that boy Gensheng ate so much sage, he must be useless in this life, and the baby is gone, and the Zhao family will have to rely on me when the time comes, you always take care of your health, when the time comes Marry Jinniang to me, and I will continue to burn incense for the Zhao family."

The village chief's body shook violently: "I have lived for more than 70 years, and this is the first time I see such a shameless thing like you, Jinniang, and you are worthy of it!"

Gu Yao saw that the village head was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly, so he hurried over to comfort the old man, but just after taking a step, he found that the old man was as vigorous as a young man, raised his crutches, and danced vigorously, He directly knocked Zhao Fuqi, a big man, to the ground with a stick.

Then there was a one-sided beating.

Zhao Fuqi looked tall, but his body was rotted by wine, and he was beaten by the village chief, and he couldn't even fight back, crying on the ground.

"Oh. Why don't you deserve it? She just likes me, you. Take it easy."

Seeing that his wailing sound was getting smaller and smaller, Gu Yao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man: "Stop hitting, if you hit again, you will be killed."

"It's not worth implicating yourself for such a thing. It's not worth it for this kind of gambler to throw his life on the gambling table sooner or later."

The village chief's breath gradually calmed down: "The little Taoist chief said that this kind of thing is not worthy."

Having said that, the village head still kicked Zhao Fuqi a few times forcefully.

Gu Yao helped the village chief to leave, and stepped on it by the way.

Only Lao Dao is an honest person, and he didn't even touch him.

"Old man, you just shook your sleeves, did you curse Zhao Fuqi?"

After sending the village chief away, Gu Yao asked hesitantly.

The old Taoist nodded: "En."

"Old man, you said we have to obey the rules."

"Yemao Mountain has no rules."

"Old man, if Jing Yesi finds out like this, something will happen, no matter who it is, we can't"

"fine."

The two returned to Zhao Gensheng's house.

At this time, Zhao Gensheng had already regained consciousness, but his body was very weak.

Seeing the two come back, he struggled to kowtow to them to thank them.

The old Taoist waved his hand to stop him: "Do you still remember the pawn wife you bought?"

"Remember."

"Where is she?"

"I don't know."

Gu Yao sneered: "I'm lying, you must know."

Jinniang supported Zhao Gensheng, and said in a low voice, "Let's say, these two priests are good people, and they didn't report to the officials."

Zhao Gensheng patted Jinniang's hand: "I sent Yinling'er back to the Golden Buddha Temple."

Golden Buddha Temple?
That is a big temple in Guangling Prefecture. There are nearly a hundred monks in the temple. It is said that there are enlightened flesh Buddhas enshrined in the temple, and the incense is extremely prosperous.

At this time, Buddhism had just been introduced to the land of China for nearly a hundred years, and it was at a time of barbaric development.

But in general, there are not many monks, and they are several times more than regular Taoist priests, less than 5.

The old Taoist said: "Then what does the silver bell have to do with the Golden Buddha Temple? Isn't she a pawn wife?"

Zhao Gensheng smiled wryly and said: "Yin Ling'er's husband in the past became a monk, and he just worshiped in the Golden Buddha Temple. She followed him all the time, hoping that the man would recover, so she lived near there, but she was very lonely."

"When I went to Guangling Mansion to breed pigs, I happened to bump into Yinling. By coincidence, I made her the pawn wife."

"But after the baby was born, I sent her away and never had any contact with her again."

Gu Yao and Lao Dao looked at each other, he felt that Zhao Gensheng was not telling the truth.

"Did you know that Yin Ling'er is dead?"

"What?" Hearing this, Zhao Gensheng was shocked, and said repeatedly: "How is it possible? How could she die? She was fine last month..."

"Last month, didn't you tell the truth?"

While talking, Gu Yao looked at the ghost of the woman floating behind him.

The female ghost was still so foolish and foolish, with a ghostly air and cold water dripping non-stop, but she didn't have the slightest bit of resentment.

If it wasn't for this ghostly aura and the appearance of a water ghost, Gu Yao would have thought she was a lost soul.

Zhao Gensheng turned his head silently, and looked at Jinniang in silence for a while: "Jinniang, I'm sorry for you, actually, I didn't send Yinling'er away at the beginning, so I found a house in Qingshui County and let her live there. .”

"Every time I go to the city to sell pork, I will find an excuse to visit her, and I will secretly take the child to see her."

Speaking of this, Zhao Gensheng looked at the dead child very sadly: "But I went to Guangling Mansion to breed pigs some time ago, and I haven't seen Yinling'er for a while. I really don't know how she died."

Gu Yao looked at the old man and said, "Notify Jing Yesi, Yinling's murder is not within our scope of business."

The old Taoist nodded: "Where does Yinling live in Qingshui County?"

"Ping An Street NO.11."

The old Taoist got up and was about to leave when he glanced at the female ghost again, took out three yellow talismans from his bosom and handed them to Zhao Gensheng: "Put them close to your body to keep you safe. There is nothing wrong with your house. This matter is probably still Man-made disaster."

Then he left.

After Gu Yao left, he quickly followed the old man: "Old man, are you still not going to the city?"

"No, go by yourself."

"Got it."

"Tell Fafang Qing about the appearance of the female ghost. He is a disciple of the Qing Dynasty, and his understanding of ghosts is higher than that of us."

The old man gave another warning, and the two parted ways.

Gu Yao ran all the way to Jing Yesi, said hello to the old men and aunts along the way skillfully, and rushed into Jing Yesi.

"Maoshan Taoist Gu Yao, pay homage to the governor."

Fafang Qing put down the brush: "It's really early today, you used to come here at noon to grab a meal."

Gu Yao said seriously: "Master Governor, Xiaodao is not only here to receive the reward, but also to report the crime."

Then he told about Yinling.

"You said she was like a guardian spirit?"

Fafang Qing narrowed his eyes, and unconsciously knocked on the table with two fingers.

"Come on, follow Gu Yao to Ping'an Street."
