After reading the letter, he handed it to Datou aside.

Da Tou took the letter and read it quickly. He laughed out loud before he finished reading, "Haha, it's not easy to be lucky all the time, and it's not easy to be unlucky all the time. This guy must be the reincarnation of a bad guy."

"It's really hard for him." He kept the two ancient books close to his body and began to examine the remaining things in the iron box. These bundles contained a string of Buddhist beads and a string of rosary beads, as well as two large and small alms bowls and

A wooden fish with a relic inside, and fifty taels of silver in addition to it. Monks are human beings and have to eat and dress, so it is reasonable to leave some money behind.

"Sir, this monk is also very perseverant. He has had bad luck in many reincarnations, but he still doesn't give up and wants to reincarnate." Datou said.

"This man is a truly virtuous and eminent monk, with great compassion and great aspirations." He said casually.

After reading the letter, Datou began to count on his fingers, "According to the time mentioned in the letter, this monk is only five or six years old now."

"Yes," he began to pack the things in the iron box, "Yezhou is located on Qianzhong Road. We happened to pass by there on our way. We found this person by the way and handed the things to his parents."

"I'll do it, I'll do it." Datou returned the letter, then took out all the things in the iron box and put them into the baggage. He originally carried a lot of bread, most of which he had fed to the black snake, so he just had some free time.

place.

"Sir, the letter only said that he will be reincarnated in Yezhou, which is not detailed enough." Datou said.

"It's okay," he said, "Yezhou only governs the two counties of Ashan and Weixi, with only two thousand households, and since he is born with six fingers, it is not difficult to find him."

Datou took out the things, covered the iron box and wrapped the iron chain around it again. However, after pushing it in front of the black snake, the black snake did not drag it back to the underground palace. He must have seen his nature and did not teach the black snake to remove the iron box.

What should I do after being dragged out of the underground palace?

Seeing that the black snake ignored the iron box, Big Tou picked it up and stuffed it into the peonies. Then he clapped his hands and said, "Sir, let's go."

"Okay." Turn around and take a step forward.

Big Tou tightened his bag tightly and followed behind. The black snake hesitated for a moment and then followed in a winding way.

When I left the pagoda forest, the sun had risen and the fog gradually dissipated. I returned to the Sutra Collection Pavilion and bundled up nearly three hundred years of temple chronicles and took them away. When I found the insight to reincarnate as a human being, I handed these temple chronicles and those artifacts to him.

.

The two went down the mountain along the steps, and the black snake followed from behind, returning to the platform where they were entrenched last night. The black snake did not go down any further. It looked down from a high place for a moment and then swam into the dense forest on the west side.

The two of them knew that Jianxing would come back one day, so they were not worried about the black snake. Although it had been waiting in the mountains for decades, it was very gratifying to be able to wait for its master to return. In fact, waiting is not scary, it is scary.

What's wrong is that I can't see hope.

Hopeful waiting, as long as the person waiting can come back one day, no matter how long the wait is, it is worth it.

Both of them were in a good mood at this time, because things went very smoothly and no time was wasted.

Back at the foot of the mountain, the two got on their horses and turned back the way they came. Since the two horses were galloping all the way yesterday and their heads were bumpy, this time the two of them did not ride the horses fast, but trusted the reins and headed east slowly.

"Sir, have you seen the relic?" Datou took out the wooden fish from his bag and shook it against his ear.

He shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, so don't touch it. The relic is a sacred object of Buddhism, but you and I don't believe in Buddhism. To us, it is just the ashes and remains."

After hearing this, Datou stuffed the wooden fish back into the bag and said, "Sir, this monk is quite good. Not only can he be reincarnated many times, but he can also guess that we will come to Wuxiang Temple."

"Yes," he said, "Buddhism also has its merits. Before, I always thought that they did not pay attention to this life and only cultivated the afterlife. This was a lot of nonsense. Now it seems that it is not entirely unreasonable."

The big head waved his hand and said, "What? There are a few people like this monk who can reincarnate whenever they want. Most people die when they die. By the way, sir, do you think people really have an afterlife?"

"Yes," he nodded, then shook his head, "No."

He nodded first and then shook his head, confused, "Is it there or not?"

"If Zhang San has no memory of his previous life and is reincarnated as Li Si, do you think this person is Zhang San or Li Si?" Ask questions instead of answers.

Datou vaguely understood, and then asked, "Sir, can people be reincarnated after death?"

"Most people will be reincarnated, but if you don't remember the events of the previous life, what's the point of reincarnation?" He shook his head and said, "This monk Jianxing is considered a leader among Buddhists. The realm of Buddhism is different from that of Taoism.

, the Arhat status can be roughly between the Taoist Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal. It is not very high, but it is not too low either. Even for such people, after reincarnation, they have to cultivate the Arhat state again to restore the memory of the previous life. Ordinary people

It is extremely difficult for people to retain memories of past lives.”

Most people are both afraid and curious about unknown things, and Datou is no exception. "Sir, is there really an underworld?"

"Yes." nodded.

"How do you know? Is it said in the Taoist scriptures?" Datou asked.

"There are indeed relevant records in Taoist scriptures,"

He said, "But I have seen it with my own eyes. At that time, my master was seriously injured and his life was at an end. Because his wish was not fulfilled, he could only use Taoism to force his soul to stay in the body. One night, we were rushing on the road, and it happened to be a thunderstorm.

Weather, after a flash of lightning I saw black and white, they were standing in the middle of the road, the carriage passed them quickly, and they disappeared immediately."

"Are they here to capture your master's soul?" Datou asked cautiously.

He nodded, "Probably, but they probably found me in the car, so they didn't take action."

Seeing his eyes gleaming, he guessed what he was thinking, so he waved his hand and said, "My destiny is different from ordinary people. Many people speculate that I am some kind of god from the sky who came down to earth. I also feel that I may be one, but don't ask me.

Which kind of immortal it is, because I don’t know it myself, and even Zhang Shan and Zhang Mo don’t know. The old Heavenly Master at Longhu Mountain may be able to tell, but he will definitely not tell.”

Seeing that Longhu Mountain was mentioned, Datou said casually, "Sir, we finally made a trip. Do you want to go back to Longhu Mountain and have a look?"

"I haven't been in Longhu Mountain for a long time, and I don't have many acquaintances." At this point, I remembered something, "By the way, have you done everything I asked you to do?"

Datou knew what he was referring to, so he nodded and said, "The two hundred thousand taels have been sent over. In addition, there are tea leaves and gifts for those seniors. However, we ran too fast to deliver the silver taels."

The convoy is still behind us."

He nodded and then said, "You don't have to go to Longhu Mountain, but I want to go back to Gezao Mountain to have a look."

Without waiting for the boss to answer, he continued, "Actually, it's quite awkward for me to go back. After all, I did it in front of so many people at the Shangqing Dharma Assembly that day. But during the court competition,

Ge Zaoshan's performance was still very good. I also told them that day that I wanted to go back and have a look when it was convenient for me, and they also expressed their welcome. In fact, I have been a little confused in my heart. Although I sought justice for Master that day,

He killed the woman he liked. She was the daughter of the headmaster of Ge Zaoshan, named Ge Yijun. At that time, she was married to Luo Shunzi and had a child. I exposed Luo Shunzi’s despicable behavior. I don’t know how she will commit suicide next.

Place."

Speaking of this, he sighed. He had been keeping this matter in his heart and had never told anyone about it.

"Sir, there are rumors about this matter in the world, and I know a little bit about it," Datou said with relief, "I really can't blame you for this matter. You can't let Master bear the blame until his death. Luo Shunzi is undoubtedly the culprit.

But it’s not like that woman has no responsibility at all. She’s so stupid. In my opinion, you’d better not go to Gezao Mountain. It will definitely be awkward.

, if you feel uncomfortable, we might as well give them some money, no one is having a hard time these days, and they are certainly no exception."

"That's fine," nodded, "but will they say that I did this just to seek peace of mind, and that it was a bit exaggerated, hypocritical, and pretentious?"

"No," Datou shook his head sternly, "It's them who are wrong in this matter, and you are right. It's you. If it were someone else, not only would you not feel inappropriate, but you would also become enemies with them.

"

"Okay," he said without any worries, "give them one hundred thousand taels, don't use my own name, use the name of the court, lest they feel uncomfortable and think that I am condescending and deliberately showing off."

Datou curled his lips and frowned, "Oh, my lord, do you know how much a hundred thousand taels is, give the twenty thousand taels to Longhushan..."

He also felt that he was being too generous, and interrupted Datou before he could finish complaining, "Then fifty thousand taels. The three mountains shed blood, and they share the same blood and clan. They gave it to Longhu Mountain and Gezao Mountain, and Maoshan has to be the same."

Here, give me fifty thousand taels."

Datou still felt that the move was too generous, and he wanted to give some advice, but when he thought that he still had five hundred thousand taels sitting under his butt, he stopped trying. He was very kind to others, and he valued friendship more than money.

The two of them traveled all the way east. Since they traveled all the way yesterday and didn't sleep a wink at night, Datou was a little sleepy. During this trip to Wuxiang Temple, they successfully obtained two magical powers and secrets, which saved a lot of time. Datou discussed with them and got it.

We had lunch in Yizhou and took a nap before leaving.

I nodded in agreement. It’s hot summer, and the temperature in the south is higher than in the north. Noon and afternoon are indeed not suitable for traveling.

Yizhou is a big state, and there are officials from Yushitai in the city handling cases at this time, but I don't want to meet them, I just want to rest quietly and then leave quietly.

He wanted to keep a low profile, but Datou was accompanying him. When he arrived at the city gate, Datou, who was riding a tall horse, was pointed out and laughed at by the soldiers guarding the city. This guy was not hypocritical, and he didn't like to deliberately pretend to be a grandson. He just raised his eyebrows and glared.

, "With your blind eyes, do you know who I am?!"

The most direct consequence of this move was that their identities were exposed. Not only the censors dispatched by the headquarters to handle the case came to see them, but local officials who heard the news also swarmed in. This group of people is currently being rigorously investigated and held accountable by the censors.

When the officials from Zhi Yushitai arrived, they all came over to offer bribes to please him and beg for mercy.

Whoever caused the trouble will have his butt wiped out. He fell asleep and disappeared without a trace, leaving the big head to deal with it.
