Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 651
Just when Li Xiuyuan was admiring the lotus in the courtyard alone.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, blowing through the treetops, passing through the courtyard, and coming straight to where he was.

"Goo~!"

Lei Gong, who was dozing off on the eaves, suddenly woke up, flapping his wings and puffing up his feathers, showing a fierce look.

This is the rooster's reaction when it senses the breath of ghosts and gods.

However, judging from its reaction, it seemed that the ghosts and gods who came had extraordinary actions, otherwise it would not have reacted until it came to the yard, and it must be known that it was still broad daylight.

In broad daylight, the female ghost Xiao Xie in the opposite room had to give way and hide in a dark room to escape the scorching heat of the sun. How could ordinary ghosts and gods choose to manifest during the day? Because of the daytime, you will damage your morality and waste your cultivation

, this is a very unworthy thing.

The cloudy wind condensed, forming two vortexes that fell into the shadow under the bamboo forest in the courtyard.

These two ghosts and gods are dressed in armor, holding knives and axes, and carrying wooden sticks around their waists. With a huge bull's head on it.

It looks nondescript, but it gives people a weird deterrent force, which makes people feel frightened and frightened when they see it.

When Lei Gong saw these two ghosts and gods, he was afraid and flew down from the eaves with his wings, and rushed over as if to peck them.

Although it is a rooster, it does not have the slightest fear and fear in the face of ghosts and gods. No matter how many years of Taoism, ghosts and gods dare to fight with it.

"Lei Gong, step back." Li Xiuyuan ordered.

This rooster was full of spirituality. Hearing his words, even though its feathers were erected and it was about to attack, it abruptly put away its posture and no longer made any offensive movements.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I thought it was the ghosts and gods who dared to manifest so blatantly in broad daylight. I didn't expect it to be you. How was life during the time in the north? Was it very hard? Ma Dong, Niu Er~!"

The two ghosts and gods that suddenly manifested in front of him were none other than Ma Dong and Niu Er left behind when he went to Beijing to kill the two mountain gods of Shoushan Genyue that day.

They got the incense of the two mountain gods of Shoushan Genyue and became the bodies of ghosts and gods. They are no longer ordinary ghosts.

"The little one pays respects to the young master."

The two ghosts and gods immediately bowed their hands and saluted respectfully, with a respectful attitude.

"How did you know that I came to the capital? You should not be able to grasp my whereabouts." Li Xiuyuan asked.

"Back to the young master, the young one didn't know that the young master came to the capital, but the Shangyuan Festival was approaching, and all the ghosts and gods around the capital gathered in the capital. When I was in the escort agency, I saw the old vines blooming on the dead tree in front of the escort agency.
The fragrance was all over the sky, and I guessed in my heart that there must be a nobleman in the escort agency. "

"When I came to investigate, I saw the young master." Ma Dong said.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "It turns out that's the case. No wonder the capital has been gloomy since yesterday. Even the ghost three generals under the command of the ghost foreman dared to walk around the capital with great fanfare. The feeling is that the Lantern Festival is here, and these ghosts and gods have come out to fight for incense. .”

The so-called Shangyuan Festival is actually the Lantern Festival.

This is a festive festival in later generations, but it was a sacrificial festival in ancient times.

At this time, every household will light up lanterns to pray, sacrifice ancestors, temple gods, and ghosts in the mountains and fields.

Although it is not as good as the Ghost Festival, it is also a very important day for ghosts and gods.

The ghosts and gods who are greedy for incense will take this opportunity to show their spirits in their dreams, and the evil spirits in the fields can take this opportunity to enjoy an offering.

"But you don't need to pay too much attention to such things. I'm in the capital, so what does it matter if ghosts and gods gather together?" Li Xiuyuan said, "How about it, can the business in the north be effective?"

"I don't dare to lie to the young master. Niu Er and I have only recruited a few hundred ghosts and a few ghost generals in our business these days. The results are not satisfactory. The little ones are really ashamed." Ma Dong nodded his head slightly, But with a horse's head on his head, there is really no expression of remorse.

Li Xiuyuan replied: "It's okay, I arranged for you to be in the north just to let you report the situation here first. Now that I have gone to the north, some things will naturally be solved, but I believe that the management during this period has also worked hard for you. Maybe I The approach is a bit selfish, let you become
In order for ghosts and gods to continue to serve me, you should have been reincarnated, but you are probably about to be born now. "

The two looked at each other and hurriedly said: "It is difficult for us to repay the kindness of the young master in this life, and there is nothing wrong with being ghosts and gods, but our ability is limited and we cannot meet the requirements in the heart of the young master."

Li Xiuyuan said: "Don't underestimate yourselves. No one is born with abilities. The reason why the ghosts and gods you saw before are so powerful is because they have been ghosts and gods for hundreds of years. There is nothing in the world that they don't know. I have also practiced to a very high level, as long as you give

If you spend some time, I believe that you will become the most powerful ghosts and gods in the world, and all evil spirits and ghosts will run away when they see you, and your reputation will spread in the world like a thunderbolt. "

Hearing this, Ma Dong and Niu Er were both moved and ashamed.

Sure enough, the only person in this world who is worthy of the two of us is the Eldest Young Master.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

They have already died once for the young master, so it doesn't matter if they serve for hundreds of years.

When Li Xiuyuan saw the ox head and the horse head with tears in their eyes, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Okay, let's not talk about this, it's not easy for you to show up in broad daylight, find a place in the escort agency Go rest, you know my condition, leave my house
It's too close, otherwise I don't know when I accidentally rushed to you. "

"Yes, Eldest Young Master, the younger ones will bid farewell."

Ma Dong and Niu Er saluted respectfully, and then quickly sank into the ground.

After the two left, Li Xiuyuan murmured: "Shangyuan Festival? It seems that the capital will not be peaceful during this time."

Even Ma Dong and Niu Er rushed to the capital, one can imagine how many ghosts and gods will come to the capital to stay during this time.

But at noon, Li Xiuyuan, who had nothing to do, was going to go out for a walk as usual.

But it happened that Zhu Yu, Zhang Bangchang, Qian Jun and other scholars came to visit.

When I was in the Zuifeng Building, several people said that they would definitely visit if they were free, but they really came a few days later, and they came together.

"Brother Li, I saw the escort agency you borrowed from a long way down. People in the vicinity say that the ancient vines in front of the escort agency are blooming, and the fragrance is permeating. Brother Li won’t welcome you, right?” Zhang Bangchang had a romantic and unrestrained look on his face.

Shi Gongzi looked like, and said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan also replied: "Where will it be? I'm so happy to come to visit you. I'm not in a hurry. Come and serve tea to the distinguished guests."

Zhu Yu who was on the side said, "Wait a minute, brother Li, we didn't come to drink tea with you today. Last time I heard brother Li said that he wanted to go to Xiangguo Temple. The three of them would like to be hosts for a while, and take Brother Li to Xiangguo Temple to have a look. It happens that there is Xiangguo Temple this afternoon.

You can't miss the lecture by the eminent monk. If you miss this time, you may have to wait for more than a month or two. "

"That's right, many people in the capital have already gone. If we delay a little longer, I'm afraid it will be too late. Brother Li, why don't you hurry up and leave?" Zhang Bangchang urged.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said, "So that's the case. No wonder you guys are so anxious. Since you guys are so upbeat, then I won't procrastinate. I'll go with you guys."

It turned out that they had kindly invited themselves to visit the capital.

"It shouldn't be too late, we're leaving now, Brother Li has invited you." Qian Jun said with a smile.

Li Xiuyuan nodded, but when he just walked out of the bodyguard office, he saw Wu Xiang and Han Meng following behind him. He said, "Today, you two will stay in the bodyguard body. You don't need to follow me. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"Yes, Eldest Young Master." Han Meng replied, and stopped to stay.

He brought the guards just in case, and he can deal with real dangers. His own martial arts and spells are among the best in the world, but most of the time he won't show off recklessly.

Although the night is cloudy and full of ghosts.

But today's weather is exceptionally sunny.

The four of them walked together in the direction of Xiangguo Temple in the capital.

On the way, Zhang Bangchang kept talking: "Brother Li, you are reporting to Nanjing, but you don't know about some strange people and strange things in this capital. You said that this Xiangguo Temple is amazing. It is the most famous temple in the capital. Most of the temples They are all virtuous and eminent monks with profound Dharma and wisdom

, the most powerful one is Master Shikong, his lectures are amazing, and he can have the miraculous effect of Buddha enlightening the world. "

"Master Shikong? Why does this name sound familiar?" Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, but his mouth asked: "Oh, is there anything strange about this master Shikong's teaching?"

Qian Jun on the side hurriedly said: "People who have heard of resentment can let go of the hatred in their hearts after listening to this master Shikong's lecture. Afterwards, you can change your past mistakes and start a new life. All kinds of things can be traced
Yes, it's not groundless, isn't it amazing? "

"Yeah, when I listened to Master Shikong's lecture last time, I saw the nearby birds stopped on the treetops, and the passing ox carts and horse-drawn carts were kneeling on the ground and weeping. It has been almost half a year since Master Kong lectured. This time, after half a year, Master Kong opened the altar again.

Sermons are definitely not to be missed. "Zhu Yu said.

Hearing what they said, Li Xiuyuan can be sure that Master Shikong must be a person who believes in Buddhism, and the Dharma is extraordinary.

"It is indeed worth watching such a master lecture."

It's just that the opening of the altar to preach scriptures on the approaching day of the Shangyuan Festival is a coincidence or intentional?
