Chapter 873 Guoqing Temple, Gilded Skull(1/2)
In the early morning, at dawn, Li Xiuyuan took Huang Shaohong out of the Li Mansion, and Bai Suzhen naturally accompanied him. As for his companion, there was no greeting. He only tied a rope with a wooden stick and tied a chicken leg, leading the stupid Da.
Uncle, we went to Guoqing Temple together.
Huang Shaohong left Li's Mansion and stretched his waist facing the white fish belly on the horizon, feeling helpless:
"I said there's no need to go so early. We just have to go to the temple to burn incense and we're going to have breakfast. Maybe the Buddha hasn't gotten up yet!"
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Li Xiuyuan spat several times:
"Don't talk nonsense. The Buddha is an old man who shines on the three thousand worlds and knows everything. If you say he is evil and he listens, hehe, I am telling you because we are sworn brothers. I don't know anything about ordinary people.
Tell him!"
Huang Shaohong saw that this guy was talking here and there but didn't talk about business, so he immediately grabbed her arm:
"Tell me clearly, why are you going to Guoqing Temple so early?"
Li Xiuyuan was forced to have no choice but to say two words:
"Monk!"
Huang Shaohong looked back at the Li Mansion, and then suddenly realized that this guy was afraid that he would become a monk, and it would be difficult for Li Maochun and his wife to explain.
He immediately asked with a smile: "You are the only one in your family. Are you sure you will become a monk without leaving any heirs? You Buddhists can't marry and have children after you become a monk, right?"
Li Xiuyuan put his thumb between his index and middle fingers and gestured towards Huang Shaohong: "It's none of your business to pick!"
Huang Shaohong turned around and called to Bai Suzhen: "Suzhen, let's go!"
"Hey...you promised to protect me!"
When Li Xiuyuan saw him leaving, he quickly grabbed Huang Shaohong and showed a flattering smile:
"Brother Huang, we made an agreement yesterday. I feel like there are dark clouds over my head recently and there are signs of bad luck. You can't ignore me. You can ignore me if you want. Then just give me back my fan!
"
"Bah! That's my fan!"
Huang Shaohong immediately corrected him!
Li Xiuyuan sneered and said, "Okay, it's yours, but you also promised to protect me, right?"
"Then you should be polite when you speak to me. Being sworn in with you caused me to be struck by lightning, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
After Huang Shaohong finished speaking, he sighed:
"I'm serious. Have you ever considered being filial to your parents at home, enjoying your family, and waiting for them to become a monk a hundred years later?"
Li Xiuyuan laughed:
"Look, brother, you are also a cultivator, why do you say such ridiculous and generous words? The so-called karma and karma, they received my favor in the previous life, and they became my parents in this life and raised me. Do you understand that they are repaying the karma?
If you are filial to them, won't you let them repay you in vain?"
The corners of Huang Shaohong's eyes twitched, and a surge of anger arose in his heart. He had such ridiculous arguments, why were he so angry?
As soon as he clenched his fist, he heard Li Xiuyuan say: "Besides, there is something wrong with what you said. Being a monk will not affect your filial piety to your parents!"
Huang Shaohong breathed a long sigh of relief and gradually loosened his clenched fists: "I hope what you said is true!"
"I'm bored, let's go, let's go..."
Li Xiuyuan took Huang Shaohong and left.
Bai Suzhen shook her head. Through the bound soul, she could feel Huang Shaohong's emotional fluctuations just now, which she couldn't understand.
Although she has been practicing for thousands of years, becoming an adult, and overcoming tribulations and becoming an immortal, during these thousands of years of practice, she has experienced all kinds of life, and she does not know what the happiness of a family is, or the feeling of licking a baby.
From this point of view, strictly speaking, although she has cultivated as an adult, she is not yet a real human being. This will have to be understood slowly over time.
"Chicken legs, give me chicken legs!"
Uncle Da's shouts as he chased the chicken legs made Bai Suzhen wake up from her thoughts and follow him quickly.
Guoqing Temple is the ancestral temple of the Tiantai Sect. The temple is built on the mountain and rises gradually, majestic and dignified.
As they walked along, Huang Shaohong could feel that when Li Xiuyuan approached Guoqing Temple, the aura on his body also changed.
When he arrived at the gate of Guoqing Temple and stepped inside, Li Xiuyuan stepped down from the steps and was able to fly in the air. He took a few false steps in the air before landing on the ground.
Like him, there was Uncle Da, but although Uncle Da performed extraordinary, he still chased after the chicken legs. It was obvious that his body had changed, but his IQ had not changed.
"Chirp..."
Uncle Da shouted while chasing the chicken legs.
Li Xiuyuan turned around and threw the chicken drumsticks to him: "What the hell, this is a pure place in Buddhism. You are not allowed to show up. Fuhu, you go and eat the drumsticks. I'll go inside and take a look first..."
Huang Shaohong had a black eye and wondered why these two things were so unreliable. You know that Buddhism is pure and you still eat chicken drumsticks!
Uncle Da took the chicken legs and smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He ran to the main hall and a small shrine. He squatted there and started eating. He finished the chicken in one bite and finally even put the chicken bones in his mouth to chew.
Huang Shaohong noticed the shrine and couldn't help but shook his head in amusement, but it was because the shrine enshrined an earth god, which was the earthly father-in-law in the Yinsi Zhengshen.
It is said that the gods of Daomen Yinsi are enshrined next to the main hall of the temple. This really corresponds to the old saying...'A donkey's lips are not what a horse's mouth is'!
Suddenly, the statue of the earth god enshrined in the shrine suddenly disappeared. A middle-aged man wearing linen clothes and holding a cane stood in front of Li Xiuyuan and said as soon as he came out:
"Man, I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Li Xiuyuan said in surprise: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man introduced himself:
"I am the Lord of the Earth. I can't blame you. Your soul has not returned yet and your memory is lacking. But you don't have to be afraid. As long as you get the golden body back, you will be fine!"
"Also, the government and bandits are vying for this golden statue of yours. Just last month, for example, there were many people who came to rob it. The boss of the Little Knife Club and the Ax Gang brought more than two hundred
People come to film in front of the temple. Damn it, they don’t even negotiate, they just kill people. People nowadays really don’t follow the rules at all..."
Huang Shaohong and Li Xiuyuan both had black lines on their heads and wiped the cold sweat from their heads at the same time. The latter even asked his doubts: "Are you the boss or the landlord?"
The Earth God smiled sheepishly: "When I was a human, I was the leader of a Jianghu gang, and I was named the Earth God only after my death!"
Huang Shaohong and Li Xiuyuan took two steps back at the same time. What the hell is going on? The world is too dark. The gang boss can be conferred as a god and become a land father-in-law who benefits one party. Where can we reason?
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, the Earth God also guessed what they were thinking. He laughed:
"Looking at this matter, I was lucky. I led my brothers to rob houses and found that the people they robbed were poorer than us. Later, I changed my mind and took them to the officials to rob them. Those who refused to accept the robbery
It just clicked with a knife... After working for more than ten years, I was caught by an official and was slapped..."
Huang Shaohong didn’t understand even more:
"Brother, the more you say this, the less we understand. After listening to your words, I have done nothing good by robbing my whole life. How can I still become a god?"
The landowner gave Huang Shaohong a blank look:
"Listen to me, I haven't finished what I said. Later, after I arrived in the underworld, I was taken by a ghost to report to the City God's Temple!"
"Then the Lord Judge rewards the good and punishes the evil, and pronounces my crimes during my lifetime. When I think about it, this is not the end of the world. I will go to the eighteenth level of hell. I don't know when I will be reincarnated!"
"Guess what?"
Huang Shaohong and Li Xiuyuan both came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The father-in-law laughed loudly:
"As a result, the judge said that the people I robbed and killed in the past ten years were all corrupt officials. It was considered as eliminating harm for the people. Killing evil people was a kind intention. I also indirectly saved many innocent people who were about to be harmed by them, and accumulated a lot of merit!"
"Finally, the City God, please report my achievements to the Underworld Division.
You guys tell me, this luck is here, and there is no way to stop it!"
After saying this, the Earth God felt satisfied and smiled from ear to ear, with his throat exposed.
"Is this okay?"
Huang Shaohong and Li Xiuyuan looked at each other, wondering why this guy felt more comfortable than them.
Li Xiuyuan interrupted Tu Tu Gong's self-pleasure: "Okay, hurry up and show me my golden body!"
The landowner then stopped smiling and led the way.
Several people spared the main hall and came to the Guanyin Hall at the back. The Earth God also cast a spell, and the few cleaning monks in the hall turned a blind eye to their arrival.
Tutu Gong led everyone to the back of the Guanyin Buddha statue, pointed to an altar table at the back and said, "Here we are, right here!"
Looking around, he saw a skeleton wrapped in a cassock sitting on the altar table. What was different was that the skull had gold on it. Obviously, this was the golden body that Li Xiuyuan left in the world due to his previous life practice.
Huang Shaohong chuckled and said:
"Brother Li's golden body is really special. Everyone else is indestructible, but you have a gold-plated skeleton!"
Li Xiuyuan had no intention of joking or bickering with him at this time. He stared straight at the skeleton, then walked in slowly and stroked the top with his hand.
At this moment, onlookers had the illusion that there was some kind of invisible communication between Li Xiuyuan and the skeleton.
After a while Li Xiuyuan said: "I want to take it away!"
The Earth God hurriedly said: "No, when you achieved enlightenment back then, this golden body became a treasure of the temple. If you want to take it away, you must have permission from the abbot, otherwise not even the gods and Buddhas in the temple will agree!"
