"Uncle Gui, you have seen these two people before." Li Bai's anxious and frustrated face finally showed a long-lost smile, saying, "It's Yang Fanhua and Wang Fugui."

"They?" Hou Gui frowned, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked, "How can the young master explain this? How could they know where the three little masters are?"

"Uncle Gui, aren't Yang and Wang going to take my fourth senior brother as their teacher? Since they are determined, they will naturally not give up." Li Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of tea slowly, and then said: "Besides, with my fourth senior brother's temperament, although he looks a bit fierce, he is actually kind-hearted. Therefore, the fourth senior brother will definitely accept Yang and Wang as his disciples, I'm sure."

"Haha, young master, I understand if you say that!" Hou Gui suddenly opened his mind, his face disappeared, and he smiled and said, "Young master, what you mean is that someone saw three little masters on the road, but he didn't see Yang and Wang. This means that he didn't follow him, maybe he still stayed in Zuihua Tower."

"An." Li Bai nodded: "Not bad."

"Since they are already masters and apprentices, then...hehe!" Hou Gui was happy as he thought about it, and continued, "Then as a master, he would definitely explain some other things to his apprentice before leaving, and he would not be able to explain whereabouts. He would tell the two of Yang and Wang."

"An." Li Bai: "Uncle Gui analyzed it."

After talking about this for a few years, Hou Gui sent Ergou to Zuihua Tower to pay off the debt, but he didn't want to owe others. Secondly, he went to ask Wu Zhinan, and the whereabouts of Siguo and Wugui were not delayed. At the same time, Hou Gui still had some people and went to various gambling houses to find him along the way, for fear that they would not be able to pay back the money if they lost, so they were deducted.

This day passed in a daze and nothing else. The next day, Li Bai still got up very early, and seemed to have gotten used to getting up so early. Although Li Bai could only sleep after drinking the nectar and jade liquid every night, when the habit became natural, the habit was determined to be a habit and it was difficult to change.

There was nothing to do when he was free, Li Bai had to practice swordsmanship, and after practicing, he went to play the Wuqin Opera. When Hou Gui saw it, he became curious and asked Li Bai what the Wuqin Opera was? What is the use? How come he looks like a bird? Then he looks like a bear... and so on and so on.

Li Bai explained it one by one. After hearing this, Hou Gui became interested and wanted to learn it, so he asked Li Bai to teach him too. Li Bai was naturally very willing to do this. After all, the Five Animal Show is of great benefit to the body, so he started teaching without reservation.

After Li Bai's guidance, Hou Gui learned a rough idea. Although the fight was not standardized and authentic, Hou Gui remembered all the tricks and tricks, which was also quite powerful.

"Uncle Gui, take a break!" Li Bai saw that the time was almost the same, so he advised: "My master said that the Five Animal Show should not be played too long. It will be fine in about half an hour a day, otherwise it will backfire and damage his body."

"That's it? That's true. If you don't practice, you won't practice anymore. I will continue to practice tomorrow." Hou Gui was indeed a little tired, and waved his hand and said, "Young master, go and have a tea. I heard that a piece of tea came to the business store yesterday. It was brought by the master who asked someone to fight the Western Regions. How about we go and try it?"

"An! It's exactly what I want!" Li Bai clicked and walked towards the direction of the business with Uncle Gui. Along the way, Li Bai also asked, "Uncle Gui, where will my father go back to the Central Plains? I may not be able to stay in Qinglian for a few days, and my master's mission is waiting for me to complete it."

"Young Master, I don't know much about this." Hou Gui replied as he walked: "You may come back tomorrow or you may not come back in a few months. It depends on what kind of goods the master is leading the merchant."

"Oh! Dad is the same!" Li Bai said worriedly: "Why don't he leave this kind of business to others for doing business? Why do you need to run away in person? Oh! I'm really worried about his body."

"Young master, don't worry, the master is in good health!" Hou Gui opened the conversation and said, "Where is me, I grew up with the master. At the age of eight, we followed your grandfather and my father around the world, which means we were bringing goods and going to business. So, the master and I are used to wandering outside and can't stay idle at all."

"Because of that strange disease, the master was so frustrated, so he naturally had to go out and make a good trip." Hou Gui: "But unfortunately, the master has left the goods, but you, you, went down the mountain."

"Oh!" Li Bai sighed: "God will make people!"

"Young Master, don't be depressed!" Hou Gui: "When we first arrived in Sichuan City, I asked someone to bring a letter to the master, saying that you have come back from the mountain, and I guess you will receive it in a few days. At that time, I believe that when the master knows, he will definitely come back immediately. You don't know, the master misses you!"

"Oh!" Li Bai suddenly hesitated and entangled, asked Hou Gui, and said, "Uncle Gui, do you think I should go and complete my master's order first? Or should I go back to Qinglian first?"

"Young master, tell me what the master's fate is?" Hou Gui was worried and was a little curious, and asked, "Do you need my help?"

"I don't have a very Gui's uncle, I just go to subdue a man-eating monster." Li Bai suddenly started to beat the gods and said, "Oh, Gui, do you know where the Buddhist temple is? Who is Zen Master Lingyun? I heard that there was a noisy monster there, and the master asked me and my three senior brothers to take it away!"

"Ah? Ask the Buddhist temple?" Hou Gui's face suddenly changed and he was shocked, and he hurriedly said, "Young Master, you must not go!"

"Can't you go?" Li Bai frowned: "Why?"

"Young Master!" Hou Gui held back his anxiety and said, "Let's go in and sit down before talking."

When they talked about this, the two happened to come to the door of the business. When they heard Hou Gui's suggestion, Li Bai nodded in agreement. So, he followed Hou Gui into the business and sat down in a small but unique courtyard. The flowers sprouted in March around him. Several servants knew that they were here to taste tea, so they started to cook water and cook tea to serve.

"Uncle Gui, what exactly are you talking about just now?" Li Bai saw that Hou Gui must have known a lot of things related to asking about the Buddhist temple, so he hurriedly asked, "How can you say you can't go?"

"Young Master, you really can't go." Hou Gui took a sip of tea and said anxiously: "The place is so dangerous now, and many people have died, especially boys and girls. This matter has been a lot of trouble in recent months. No one dares to go anywhere. It is said that the monster is extremely powerful. So Young Master, you must not go, you must not go!"

"Uncle Gui, don't worry." Li Bai first comforted him, and then said, "You can tell me the details, the whole story, and what kind of thing this man-eating monster is? It's so amazing?"

"Young Master, this is how things are." Hou Gui took another sip of tea and then said, "I heard that it started about three months ago, Leshan, that is, what you said about the Buddhist temple."

"Leshan?" Li Bai: "Ask the Buddhist temple is in Leshan?"

"Yes, the Buddha Temple is in Leshan. The master and his wife have visited the Buddha here to pray for you. Just..." Hou Gui paused and said, "It's just that the Buddha Temple is no longer called the Buddha Temple. The emperor issued an imperial edict to change the Buddha Temple to Lingyun Temple, and the three words "Ask the Buddha Temple" were changed to the name of a partial hall."

"Uncle Gui." Li Bai helped Hou Gui brew tea and said, "Drink a sip first, and talk slowly."

"An!" Hou Gui took a sip, then continued slowly, and said, "About three months ago, something strange began to happen near Leshan, especially on the river."

"Oh?" Li Bai echoed: "What a strange thing?"

"First, there was no wind and waves on the river surface, and the dark clouds were covered with scary people." Hou Gui was vivid and wanted to take the opportunity to scare Li Bai, so he told Li Bai not to ask the Buddhist temple, so he said: "For example, if there is still no cloud at this moment, and the Yi Yang shines high, it may be possible that the sky will change immediately in just a blink of an eye. The fishermen passing by the river, and Shang Jia, were all affected. The dead, the wounds, the wounds, the sinking, the floating, countless mourning is everywhere, and I am afraid that the young master."

"Is that right?" Li Bai knew that Hou Gui's words were a bit exaggerated, and he also heard that Hou Gui was deliberately scaring him, but he did not expose it, and said, "How scary is it really so scary?"

"Isn't that?" Hou Gui saw that Li Bai had seen it, and did not expose it, but he no longer continued to exaggerate it. After taking a sip of tea and pausing, he told the truth, "Young Master, you don't know that in addition to making trouble on the river, this man-eating monster also specializes in stealing children's food. Some people woke up from sleep and found that their children were gone, and there were only a pile of white bones left. Do you think it's scary for many masters?"

"An!" Li Bai smiled and said, "Scary!"

"Young Master, it's not only terrible." Hou Gui suddenly pretended to be mysterious and said, "It's very strange and tight."

"Uncle Gui?" Li Bai: "What a strange method?"

"Let's talk about this child's human bones!" Hou Gui lowered his voice and said, "After this monster ate the child, he even used these child's bones to put out a word."

"Is it made a bone into a character?" Li Bai was stunned, feeling quite strange and curious, so he asked, "Uncle Gui, which character has it been made?"

"Numang!" Hou Gui: "That nanny in the Buddhist family!"

"卍?" Li Bai was stunned because he knew the word. But to be precise, if this word is spoken in Buddhism, it should actually be a symbol and auspicious sign.

It is called "Yong Zhong" in Tibetan, which is the heart seal of the Buddha and the representative totem of Buddhism. Later, because the Empress Wu Zetian admired Buddha, she deliberately changed the pronunciation of the character "卍" and pronounced it as "wan" with four tones.

Li Bai knew this, but what he didn't understand was that even if this man-eating monster did all the bad things and was evil, it was opposite to the Buddhist orthodox religion. Yes, but why did it use its bones to make a character of "卍" after eating a man? Is this monster also believed in Buddhism? After eating a man, he had to say "Amitabha, good, good, good,"?

Hou Gui saw Li Bai's doubts, so before Li Bai could speak, Hou Gui started talking: "Young master, don't think about it anymore. No one can figure it out clearly. You just said that Zen Master Lingyun, who is the host of the Buddhist temple now, is considered to be profound in Buddhism and extremely powerful, right?"

"But Master, what can this be done? Isn't it still possible to do anything to this monster? I heard that Zen Master Lingyun was injured by this monster just a month and a half ago, so Master, you must not take risks."

"Uncle Gui, don't worry, I am no longer a three-year-old child, and I have a sense of my heart." Li Bai comforted his mouth, but he was thinking about the truth that "knowing yourself and your enemy and winning every battle."

So, before Hou Gui said anything, Li Bai suddenly turned his head and said, "Uncle Gui, why don't you continue to talk about this about the monsters in the Buddhist temple? In addition to eating children and placing swastikas, there are other strange things? Or, what are the weaknesses of this monster?"

"Young Master, don't think about it. I won't let you go there." Hou Gui saw Li Bai's thoughts and said, "But as for the fact that other strange things have happened, that's interesting. This man-eating monster not only puts human bones into the character "卍", but also talks, talks, and recites the Heart Sutra after eating, which is so loud."

"Ha?" Li Bai: "Recite the Heart Sutra?"

Li Bai was shocked again and knew that the Heart Sutra was one of the important Buddhist scriptures. The most famous saying of the Buddha, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form", came from this.

The Heart Sutra, the meaning of the Sutra in the Heart, is used to remove self-disturbance. But of course, whether it is the Heart Sutra or other scriptures, the important thing is not the content of the sutra, but the person who recites the sutra.

As long as the chanting sutras have a heart, even if you swear words and recite those extremely unpleasant words, you can calm your mind. On the contrary, if the chanting sutras are unintentional, then no matter how chanting is, it will still be useless.

Now, what Li Bai is very puzzled is that he thinks: What does a monster recite the Heart Sutra? Could it be that this monster who eats people really believes in Buddhism? After eating people, you really have to recite the Buddhist scriptures, repent, or be able to be liberated?

This matter was left unresolved. Li Bai also wanted to know more about this monster who eats people, but Hou Gui's knowledge was limited, just a few things. Without any choice, after Li Bai and Hou Gui had some early tea, they went out alone and found a shop that was full of talk and listened to everything.

After walking around for a day, Li Bai realized the seriousness of this matter. It was so urgent that it could not be delayed. It is said that the people near Leshan were tortured by the human-eating monster. Every month and a half, innocent boys and girls would be arrested and eaten.

At first, when Zen Master Lingyun was not injured, he could still suppress the monster, so that it was less unscrupulous. But now Zen Master Lingyun is seriously injured and can no longer suppress it, so the human-eating monster became even more courageous.

After hearing this, Li Bai's long-lost chivalrous aura rose in his heart, and it burned like fire. It was the thing Li Bai wanted to do the most.

There was a great opportunity in front of me, a great opportunity to spread my ideals in the nine heavens. So in order to subdue demons and save people, Li Bai made a decision and planned to go to the Buddhist temple to solve the monster before returning to Qinglian.

As for Wu Zhinan, Siguo and Wugui, Li Bai did not decide to wait any longer. Knowing that the latter is more important than waiting for others and saving others.

After Hou Gui found out, he never agreed and let Li Bai explain it. Hou Gui was worried that he was worried, and he didn't give him any more. In the end, he locked Li Bai into the room and refused to come out.

But no one expected that how could the mere door trap Li Bai? It was no exaggeration to say that it was useless. So, while the night was dark and windy, Li Bai slept onto the beam of the house, lifted the tiles, and escaped directly from the roof of the tiles.

Li Bai was not in a hurry to leave. In order to relieve Hou Gui, he sneaked into the study to find paper, pen, ink and inkstone, and left a letter from home. The words above were elegant, and the general content was that saving people was important. If it were mother Yuewa or father Li Ke, they would definitely not have stopped them.

Li Bai asked Hou Gui not to worry, saying that he had learned a lot of skills in Zhuxian Temple, and that a mere monster would not do anything to him. He also said that if he was really worried, he would find Wu Zhuan, Siguo and Wugui, and asked them to come and ask the Buddhist temple for help.

After explaining all kinds of words, Li Bai climbed the wall and walked on the night. Because Shang Tang had a curfew precept, no one was allowed to appear on the street at night, otherwise he would be beaten if he was caught. In severe cases, he would be executed directly.
