Chapter 2 Not asking for help

Thirty-five miles south of Zichuan County, there is a Liugou Temple, which faces north and south, and the courtyard is not large.

Su Yang entered the temple and saw that the temple was defeated. There were only three monks in the entire temple. After asking, they were called Huitong, Huiming and Huisheng. Among them, Huitong was in his fifties, Huiming was in his thirty-five, Huiming was in his thirty-six, and Huisheng was in his twenty years old. When the three of them saw Su Yang coming here, they didn't want to receive him, but for the sake of money, Su Yang lived in.

After entering Liugou Temple, Su Yang took a walk around Liugou Temple. The front hall was enshrined with Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Tathagata Buddha was enshrined behind. Su Yang saw that the clay statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was very old, and the water in the bottle had not been replaced for a while. The willow branches on it were even yellow. There was a willow tree in Liugou Temple. Su Yang broke a branch and added water to replace Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Amitabha."

Seeing Su Yang worshiping the Bodhisattva here, Monk Huisheng shouted the Buddha's name and said, "The layman really worships the Buddha sincerely and will be rewarded in the future."

Su Yang put down the willow branches and water, looked at Monk Huisheng, and smiled and said, "Do you still have any insincere words to worship Buddha?"

Monk Huisheng said, "Before Liugou Temple was defeated, many people came here. They came here to burn incense and bow, and they were so amazing that they all wanted something. But donor, you are different. Donor, your eyes are calm and you have nothing to ask for. Giving to Buddha is just a worship of Buddha."

Su Yang chuckled, looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and said, "Yes, others have asked her for incense because I know her."

After saying this, Monk Huisheng smiled for a moment, raised his head and looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva above. This Guanyin Bodhisattva was holding a willow branch in his hand, full of compassion, but made him bow his head and sigh.

"Little monk, what you are practicing is the purity of the six senses and learning is to let go of your worries. What's the point of sighing here?"

Seeing that Monk Huisheng was like this, Su Yang shouted.

After being given the prophecy of Tathagata, Su Yang felt very different when he looked at these Buddhist disciples... These are his unscrupulous disciples!

When Monk Huisheng heard Su Yang treat him like this, he looked up in surprise. Seeing that Su Yang was just as old as him, but his words and mature attitude were like his deceased master. With this thought, many words in his heart made him unable to help but want to tell Su Yang.

“It’s very bitter.”

Monk Huisheng said to Su Yang, "The hatred has not been repaid, and the spirit is hard, life is hard, and there are demons. The little monk feels that life is very hard and tiring."

Speaking of these, Monk Huisheng sighed repeatedly.

Su Yang carefully examined Monk Huisheng, saw that his hands were cracked and covered with calluses, and then looked at the dirt in many parts of his body, and said, "I am a passerby. If you have any trouble, you might as well tell me. Just use it as a catharsis. Things can be heard and heard. Except for Guanyin Bodhisattva here, no fourth person knows it."

Su Yang's speech was naturally filled with a bit of Sanskrit. After hearing Su Yang's speech, Monk Huisheng spoke and said about Liugou Temple.

"Liugou Temple was also famous in Zibo ten years ago. Our masters had a pair of wonderful skills and were kind and generous. The nobles of Zibo also came here to give charity. At that time, the temple was still good and people came to flourish. There were thirty brothers in the temple, and they were all smiling."

Monk Huisheng talked about Liugou Temple, which had been around for more than ten years. Compared with the temple where there were only three people now, Liugou Temple at that time was a grand occasion.

"Ten years ago, the son of the Sun family rented a house here. Later, he went home for about ten days during the autumn harvest. When he came back to check in, he made a ghost at the night of Liugou Temple."

Monk Huisheng sighed and said, "The ghost stood in the room, with its head able to top the beam of the house, its teeth three inches long, and its bloody mouth was big. The sword was slashed on him, as if it was chopped on a stone, without any injury. His claws opened and cracked the stone, which was even hard to stop. At that time, Mr. Sun was extremely brave and voluntarily dodged in front of him. Later, the servants arrived and the crowds of people were filled with noises, and the big ghost was scared away."

Su Yang nodded slightly. He knew that this incident was because there were records in the Stories from a Chinese Studio.

In "Shan Mandrill" in a Chinese Studio, Sun Gong stayed in Liugou Temple and met a mandrill at night. After a fight, the mandrill was frightened and left. Sun Gong hurriedly left at dawn. Later, he sent someone to ask about Liugou Temple. Liugou Temple said that this would not be the case in the future.

One of the reasons I turned to Liugou Temple halfway.

"Mencius did not lie, but at that time the pilgrims were scattered, and the monks had to tell lies, wanting to maintain the pilgrims and provide us with their lives."

Monk Huisheng said, "In fact, this big ghost has been harassing us for more than ten years, and the pilgrims from Liugou Temple also left because of it."

Su Yang nodded slightly. This was what Monk Huisheng said was causing trouble.

"What's wrong with not revenge?"

Su Yang asked.

Monk Huisheng looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva and said, "Because of the demons, the master wanted to reshape the statue of Guanyin and mold a golden body for Guanyin Bodhisattva. He took out all the money in Liugou Temple and wanted to gather together to raise the matter. As a result, robbers came in at night and swept away all the money in the temple. Even the master was killed by the robbers."

"At that time, many of our fellow brothers were resisting, so they were injured a little. Many fellow brothers also witnessed the appearance of the robbers with their own eyes... When they reported to the officials, the government did not come."

Monk Huisheng clenched his fists and said, "Because Mr. Song is afraid of ghosts."

The official is afraid of ghosts...

Su Yang smiled when he heard this.

"We brothers and brothers can't get a hundred requests... Later, my heart scattered. Because the money was gone, many senior brothers didn't want to persevere here, so everyone scattered. Now there are only three of us in our Liugou Temple."

Monk Huisheng said, smacking his lips, and complaining, "Even if Mr. Song comes, it's useless. His stupidity will probably let those robbers come here to be the host... Bah!"

When Su Yang listened to Monk Huisheng talking about the past, he heard that Monk Huisheng suddenly said this later, and asked, "Mr. Song is very stupid?"

Otherwise, why would this monk Huisheng be mixed with this sentence?

Huisheng shook his head and wanted to stop, but he couldn't help saying it, saying, "There is a murder case here in Zibo, which was caused by the servants of Mr. Sun's house. Two servants had a private grudge. One of them had a murderous intention. The person who was originally killed had a sign of his heart and did not sleep in the bed at night. Another servant named Guo An, saw the bed vacant, and then lay down. After falling asleep, he was killed with a knife."

"When Mr. Song judged the case, the law was very broad and he did not use any punishment. Instead, he sentenced the murderer to be the son of Guo An's father. In this way, he would repay his son, and he would be both kind and grudges. According to this, if the thief who killed our master was captured, he would be sentenced to be the host of Liugou Temple and repay us!"

Su Yang laughed again when he heard this. Zibo was indeed the center of Liaozhai Universe. After Su Yang came here for a while, he heard two articles.

What Huisheng said is also in the chapter of the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. It is called "Guo An", which talks about this. However, the servant said that there is a sign in his heart in Dandelion. He was first arrested by a ghost messenger to the underworld. After he arrived at the underworld, the ghost messenger said that he had caught the wrong person and then put him back. In this way, he felt that he was not clear about it, so he did not sleep on the bed and went to another place. Then Guo An became a scapegoat.

However, in this article, the person who judged the case was Chen Qishan. He was a county magistrate in Zibo from the fourth to the ninth year of Shunzhi. It was true that there were some deviations. I am afraid that the dynasties were different.

There is another thing in this article: A killed B, B's wife sued A, and the magistrate of Caozhou sentenced A to be B's husband, so that B would not allow B to be a widow, but A's wife would be a widow...

"I see."

Su Yang nodded and understood Huisheng's suffering.

"Sir, you're here."

Someone walked past the door and was filled with joy when he saw Su Yang. Su Yang raised his head and saw Wang Shunying, the magistrate of Zichuan County, whom he saw during the day.

"I am familiar with the Bodhisattva."

Su Yang replied with a smile.

Now even if you know Buddha, I will recognize it!

Wang Shunying looked pale and walked into the room, but the threshold had already made him unable to get through. He lay on the ground with a plop, and "popular" Su Yang, and the official in his arms also fell aside.

"gentlemen……"

Wang Shunying looked at Su Yang, weak all over, and tears were all over her eyes, saying, "I'm enlightened, I'm really enlightened, the beautiful girl, charming her craftsman, can see through, but she's like a general in the confrontation formation showing her power; her red lips and white teeth, she covers her sleeves and looks back, and knows that when she comes, the ghost in front of the Yama Palace judges the yaksha to increase his evil attitude. The silk stockings bend, the golden lotus is three inches, the shovels and hoes breaking the ground when building the tomb; the pillow is prepared, the love is in love, and the life in the oil pan of the fifth prince... I'm really enlightened."

Wang Shunying lay on the ground and recited the forbidden book he read behind closed doors at snowy night. He felt that this was very appropriate. Since he parted with Su Yang, Jin Ge'er has been obsessed with him along the way. After thinking that the other party was a ghost, Wang Shunying really felt that he was suffering in hell. How could he feel any happiness?

What a mess you are enlightened...

Su Yang wanted to hear this, but reading banned books on this snowy night is also an elegant thing for scholars.

"Studying the two-character Zen of the word "Flower" is a good marriage. Everyone loves the infatuated way, but when you look at it coldly, you will feel that the wild grass is leisurely and the flowers are free to be picked and folded, and your true posture is strong and peaceful. The mountain wife and child are home-cooked, and they do not harm lovesickness or money."

Wang Shunying lay on the ground and cried, "Sir, I understand, you have to save me..."

After parting with Su Yang, Wang Shunying realized that Jin Ge'er was a ghost and originally wanted to rush to Zichuan all the way, but in the carriage, Jin Ge'er asked for excessive demands. Wang Shunying was afraid of revealing flaws and reluctantly obeyed. He didn't think about the time of one day, and there was still thirty miles away from Zichuan...

Wang Shunying really couldn't hold on anymore.

When he saw Su Yang, he cried bitterly, he repented, and he wanted Su Yang to save him.

"this……"

Monk Huisheng did not understand its intention.

"hehe."
