Chapter 15 Sun Tzu Chu and Liang Abao
Six years later, the backyard of the Great Mosque
Zhang Lian frowned and stared at the chessboard on the stone table. The black chess piece he was catching did not fall for a long time. After a long time, he put down the chess piece and sighed softly: "I lost again. The master's chess skills are indeed extraordinary, and they all contain great principles."
The Abbot of Dawu on the opposite side laughed and said, "Donor Zhang is so serious. If it weren't for Donor Zhang's intentions and using my chess skills, how could he win Donor Zhang?"
"Oh, what is one mind and two uses?" Zhang Lian asked.
Abbot Dawu said lightly: "Why should donor Zhang pretend to be confused? Although you are here to play chess with me, your heart is not there. I am afraid you are concerned about Donor Zhang who is far away in the other world."
Zhang Lian sighed lightly: "It made the master laugh. I am indeed thinking about falling leaves. It has been almost three years since I said it."
"Don't worry, don't worry," Abbot Yu clasped his hands together and said, "After exposing the seal for Donor Zhang, Donor Zhang was in a coma for three years. The first thing he woke up was to be sad about the affairs of His Highness the Nineteenth Prince. This shows that Donor Zhang's kindness and sentimentality could only run away from home in order to continue his life, travel around the world, kill demons and eliminate demons, and accumulate supreme merits. He will definitely be in the immortal class in the future. Donor Zhang should be happy for Donor Zhang."
"I hope this is the case. If you don't talk about this, Master, come and have another game." Zhang Lian chuckled and cleared the pieces on the board.

At the same time, in the 'Linjiang Restaurant' located in Jinshan County, Songjiang Prefecture, Jiangsu Province
Several servants from different wealthy families were eating wine and talking, and the topic was nothing more than narrating each other about the treatment of their wealthy families for reference by others.
During this period, the servants of the Sun Mansion were frowning and sighing from time to time, which immediately attracted the attention of other servants.
One of the servants laughed and scolded: "I said puppy, what are you sighing here? We will count you as the best here. Who doesn't know the treatment of Sun's Mansion is the best in Jinshan County except Liangfu businessmen? You are still sighing. Are we just going to hang ourselves?"
The servant of the Sun Mansion shook his head and sighed: "Can I not sigh? Young Master Sun lost his soul and has not woken up yet. The master lost his temper all day long and exposes his anger on us. We did something wrong with him, just a beating. Look." After he said that, he pulled up his sleeves, but saw that both arms were swollen.
The other servants were surprised and sighed, "How could this happen! Puppy, why would you quit the Sun Mansion worker. If you continue like this, you will always be beaten to death. We can introduce it to you."
The servant of the Sun Mansion gritted his teeth and said, "I have never thought so. I just signed a contract with the Sun Mansion for three years. Now it has only been a year, so they will not let me quit my job."
The other servants glanced at each other and said that since the contract was still within the deadline, they were not allowed to control their servants, so they could only secretly feel pitiful for the puppy.
After a while of silence, a servant asked, "By the way, little dog, how could your young master Sun lose his soul for no reason? Tell us about it and see if we can help."
The servant of the Sun Mansion thought about it and then spoke up about the whole story.
It turned out that the young master of the Sun Mansion was named "Sun Zichu". He was a scholar. He was born with six fingers, with a sloppy personality and a slow speech. When others deceived him, he believed it. Sometimes when he held a banquet, he would look away from a distance. Some knew that he was like this, and deliberately seduced him and let prostitutes snuggle him. He would blush and thick neck, sweat profusely, so he made fun of him. Some described his stupidity, spread each other, and said words to slander people, nicknamed "Sun Chi".
Liangfu businessman has a daughter named "Liang Abao". Liang Abao is extremely beautiful. Liangfu businessman and his wife treat her very much and choose a son-in-law for her every day. The sons of wealthy families in Jinshan County are fighting to propose marriage and give gifts. Even the children of officials from neighboring counties come to visit. Unfortunately, Liangfu businessman is not satisfied.
It happened that his grandson Chu's wife passed away, so his family thought about getting lucky and asked the matchmaker to say he was close. Liang Fu businessman had already heard of his grandson Chu's name and knew that he was a scholar. However, he thought that although the Sun family was a wealthy family, his status was too different from Liang Fu's businessman after all. He was afraid that if his daughter married the Sun family, she would suffer, so he refused the matchmaker.
When the matchmaker was about to come out, she happened to meet Liang Abao who returned. Liang Abao had also heard of Sun Zichu's dementia and talent. She thought it would be interesting to tease such a person. She joked that if Sun Zichu could cut off his sixth finger, she would marry Sun Zichu.
The matchmaker returned to Sun's mansion and conveyed Liang Abao's words. Everyone in the family thought that Liang Fu's business refused to agree to the marriage and could not take it seriously. Unexpectedly, Sun Zichu took it seriously. He actually cut off his sixth finger with an axe. Blood sprayed from the mouth of the broken finger, and the pain pierced the heart. The pain made Sun Zichu almost die. It took a few days to get up.
The matchmaker was shocked and rushed to Liangfu businessman to tell Liang Abao about this. Liang Abao was shocked and became shocked and anxious at his grandson Chu. What was shocked was that this person actually chopped his fingers without saying a word because of a joke. Such a madman refused his proposal, and he didn't know what he would do!
What I hope is that although the other party has never met him, he loves him so much that he can even cut off his fingers. It is not difficult to guess that if he was asked to cut off his head, he would probably cut it off as soon as possible. This is really a crazy and ignorant person.
After thinking about it, Liang Abao asked the matchmaker to go back and convey it to his grandson Chu, and let him say it again after he was ill. Anyone who heard this would know that it was a tactful statement. However, the fool of Sun Chu took it seriously again and hurriedly distinguished to the matchmaker, saying that he was not ignorant at all. The matchmaker shook his head secretly and thought, if you are not ignorant, you should have a clear idea when you hear Liang Abao conveying this way, how can you distinguish it from me?
One day, it was the Qingming Festival. According to the customs of Jinshan County, in addition to worshiping ancestors, women can also go out on this day, and frivolous teenagers can also go out with each other and savor at will. Sun Zichu was invited by friends who were both scholars to go out together. Looking at the beautiful women on the street, they competed for some comments, which made the women roll their eyes, which made them look like a pair of wit.
Just as soon as I walked somewhere, I saw people rushing in front of me. After asking, I realized that it was Liang Abao who was traveling with his maid and resting under the tree ahead. Her beauty made people passing by pause, which caused such a crowded picture to appear.
The friends pushed Sun Zichu and laughed and said, "Why don't you go to see the person you like?" Although Sun Zichu knew that they were teasing him, his admiration for Liang Abao made him really want to see Liang Abao's appearance, so he happily followed his friends to the crowd.
After finally pushing the crowd away, I saw a beautiful woman sitting under the tree in the middle. My grandson Chu Ru was struck by lightning and staring at Liang Abao's appearance as if it had been petrified.
Seeing that more and more people were coming, Liang Abao lost his heart to continue playing, and he quickly left with the maids. Everyone was very happy, and they were full of criticism and were ecstatic.
When the crowd dispersed, the friends sighed at Liang Abao's appearance. When they turned around, they saw grandson Chu standing in a daze, greeting him, but they did not agree. Thinking that grandson Chu was so stupid in the past, they didn't take it seriously.
Some pulled him, some held him and sent him back to the Sun Mansion. However, after returning to the Sun Mansion, Sun Chu, lying on the bed, he never got up all day long and was in a coma. He didn't wake up no matter how he greeted him. His family panicked and suspected that he had lost his soul, so he invited Taoist priests to summon him. However, it had no effect. Seeing that Sun Chu was in a coma getting thinner and thinner, as if he was about to die, he only made his family anxious.
…………
The servant from the Sun Mansion sighed and said, "That's how it is. Young Master Sun has been lost for nearly three days, and we have suffered for three days. Alas~"
The other servants looked strange when they heard this. One of the servants thought about it and said, "It seems that Young Master Sun has really lost his soul. In this case, we mortals can't interfere. We have to rely on Taoist priests and holy monks."
The servant from the Sun Mansion sighed and said, "Maybe that's the case, but there are too many fake Taoist monks who are famous in this world. The truly capable Taoist monks and holy monks are not something we, the mortals of the naked eye, can't tell the difference between them. In the past three days, I don't know how many monks and Taoist priests have been invited in the mansion, but it has no effect at all. The master is so angry that he is almost crazy."
A servant thought for a while and said, "If you say something about a true Taoist priest and holy monk, I heard that a living Buddha has recently come to the county."
Living Buddha? When the servant from Sun's house heard this, he raised his eyebrows. Since he dared to use the title of Living Buddha, perhaps he might not be a true holy monk.
Thinking of this in his heart, the servant from the Sun Mansion asked, "I don't know where the living Buddha is? Where is the county now?"
The servant had not spoken yet, but the servant laughed and said, "Brother, are you talking about the monk who eats feces? That's not a living Buddha."
The servant just now snorted coldly, "What do you know? This living Buddha was originally named 'Jin Shicheng'. He is from Shandong. Because a fellow villager lives in Shandong, I heard him talk about this living Buddha. He said that Jin Shicheng is not very careful in his usual manner. Later, he learned Buddhism with a monk. He was successful in his studies. He was crazy and liked to eat unclean things. What kind of feces do dogs, sheep, and stools are in front of him, and he would lie down and eat them."
"The foolish people and foolish women were strange about what he did. They served him with the etiquette of their disciples. Jin Shicheng asked them to eat shit, but they did not dare to disobey. He made money to build a palace, and he spent a lot of money, but everyone was happy to give it to him. At that time, the prefect of Caozhou Prefecture, Shandong Province thought that Jin Shicheng was slandering the crowd, so he grabbed him and whipped him, and asked him to build a Confucius Temple. Jin Shicheng's disciples walked away and said, "The Living Buddha was in trouble." They all rushed to raise funds to save him. The temple would be better for ten days and half a month. Such a collection of money would be faster than the cruel official's pursuit!"
"This..." The servants of the Sun Mansion were full of strange expressions. This was the first time he heard the living Buddha who loved to eat shit. But since Jin Shicheng could make so many believers die, he probably might not have great supernatural powers.
The servant from Sun's mansion asked again: "I wonder where this living Buddha is in the county now?"
For some reason, the servant who praised the living Buddha was a little difficult to speak. The servant of the Sun Mansion asked repeatedly, and the latter sighed and said, "That Living Buddha is in the abandoned City God Temple in the north of the county, I advise you not to go there."
"Why is this?" asked the servant from Sun's mansion in confusion.
After looking around, the servant lowered his voice and said in a low voice: "That temple is haunted, and several people have died."
"Make a haunted...brother isn't you kidding me, aren't that living Buddha on the other side of the temple?" Sun's servant beat him up.
"How can you joke about this kind of thing? The living Buddha is a holy monk. Even demons and ghosts are around him. How can you hurt him? But we mortals are different. If you go to that temple, you will be harmed by ghosts." The servant said in a low voice.
The servant from Sun's mansion pondered for a while and asked, "I wonder what the temple is like? Brother, can you tell me in detail?"
"You... are you really going to that temple?" The servant said with a strange face.
The servant of the Sun Mansion nodded and said, "If the living Buddha is like the supernatural powers you said, my young master Sun's life can only be entrusted to him. Even if there is a ghost in the temple, I can only go there once."
The servant sighed and talked about the haunted temple.
From some time on, haunted news came from the deserted City God Temple in the north of the county. Since several people died in a row, the county magistrate of Jinshan County took people to the deserted temple in person.
According to the officers and soldiers who survived later, after they arrived at the deserted temple, they saw a woman coming, fat and dark, and she was not very good-looking. She was posing with a very obscene expression.
The county magistrate asked about her identity. She just smiled and didn't say anything. She took off her top in front of everyone and played with her nipples. The county magistrate was upset that she was ashamed, so he asked the officers and soldiers to capture her. She never thought that a woman was like a loach. Whenever she was about to catch her, she could always get rid of everyone's arms.
After catching it for a while, some officers and soldiers were annoyed and slashed her neck with a knife. The woman's head rolled to the ground, but her body without a head stood still, and even the wound on her neck was spewed out without a trace of blood.
Only then did everyone know that they had met a female ghost and wanted to escape, but found that their feet were as if they were filled with lead and could not move. The female ghost grabbed her head, placed it again on her neck, then opened a bloody mouth and started to eat the officers and soldiers nearby.
The county magistrate was full of anger and cursed the female ghost. The female ghost was angry and blew at the remaining officers and soldiers, causing them to faint. Because of this move, the unconscious people escaped.
I don’t know how long it took, but the coma people woke up, but saw an incredible scene. When they saw the county magistrate, they stood in the air with his feet untouched, straight, tilting his neck, looking like he was hanging, but there was no rope and belt for hanging on his neck.
Several people were frightened and helped the county magistrate to run out. Although they had escaped, the county magistrate has since become crazy and shouted several times a day, "She came to me to hang herself again." After this, the county magistrate was found hanging in the room.
