Chapter 16 Bet
After leaving the Linjiang Restaurant, the servant from the Sun Mansion came alone to the abandoned City God Temple in the north of the county. Looking at the collapsed walls of the City God Temple and the wild grass, the servant from the Sun Mansion swallowed his saliva secretly.
Although he had made up his mind to invite the living Buddha in the temple, when he thought of the haunted things in the temple, the servants in the Sun Mansion felt trembling all over.
He was a little hesitant. Should he go to the temple to find a living Buddha? Or would he shout a living Buddha outside the temple? If he goes to the temple, it is a lot of danger, but it is not necessarily safe to shout a living Buddha outside the temple. If he accidentally calls out the ghost in the temple, he will be really depressed. What should he do?
In his depressed moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "squeaking" from his left hand, which scared him. When he looked back, he saw two mice, one of which was swallowed by a snake, and the other mouse stared at a pair of rat eyes, looking from a distance that he didn't dare to move forward.
The servant of the Sun Mansion breathed a sigh of relief and murmured, "What, it scared me, it turned out to be a mouse and a snake." He shook his head secretly. When he was about to look back, he was caught by the next scene.
After the snake swallowed the mouse into its mouth, it showed a satisfied expression and wanted to climb back to the cave with a curved look. Unexpectedly, the remaining mouse ran over and bit its tail with force.
The snake was angry and retreated from the cave half of its body, and bit the mouse angrily. The mouse relied on its tiny agility to avoid it easily. The snake could not catch up and returned to the cave. However, it crawled halfway, and the mouse returned to bite its tail, just like the previous scene.
The snake was angry again and retreated to chase and bit the mouse. The mouse continued to dodge easily with its small agility. In this way, the snake came in and it walked away when it came out. I don’t know how long it took, the snake was a little tired and stared at the mouse coldly. Suddenly, he opened his mouth and spit out the dead rat that had been swallowed in his mouth, and then crawled back into the cave.
This time, the mouse stopped biting the snake's tail, but walked to his companion, smelled it with his nose, chirping like a mourning sigh, and then he took it with him.
The servants in the Sun Mansion were stunned for a moment and returned to their senses. They felt that rats and beasts still knew friendship, let alone humans. Now, when they were poor and destitute, if the Sun Mansion had taken him in, he would have starved to death on the streets! I should have repaid this friendship with all my life!
The servant of the Sun Mansion shouted to the deserted temple: "Jin Shi became a living Buddha, Jin Shi became a living Buddha, are you in the temple? My young master lost his soul for some reason and was in danger. I hope the living Buddha will be compassionate and save my young master's life. The villain is willing to take the grass to repay his kindness!"
The person who deals with the servants in the Sun Mansion is deadly quiet. Sometimes a gust of cold wind blows up, rolling up fallen leaves all over the ground, but cannot blow away the sorrow in people's hearts.
The servant from Sun's mansion shouted a few more words, but there was still no reaction in the deserted temple. He frowned and secretly said, "Is the living Buddha no longer in the deserted temple?" This is impossible. Xiaoqiang would never be able to lie to him. So was he asleep in the temple? After shouting so many times, it would be strange if he didn't wake up? However, since he was the holy monk, Living Buddha, he probably had already decided to come. In this case, could he deliberately not come out in the temple so that he could go to the temple to worship him in person?
With this thought, the servants from the Sun Mansion looked at the gate of the deserted temple again, which was like the entrance to hell.
If you fight, just die. When will the Sun Mansion be grateful to you now? At worst, you will lose your life.
After passing through the gate of the deserted temple, a courtyard covered with grass and broken walls appeared in front of me. The servant from the Sun Mansion swallowed his saliva and walked towards the main hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the main hall, a graceful beauty came towards me.
The white palace costumes embellish the beautiful woman's slender figure, and the beauty twisted her waist while exhaling like an orchid to look at her.
How did the servants from the Sun Mansion have seen such a beauty? They just forgot to close their eyes.
The beauty had a springy face, and her willow-leaf eyes seemed to be dripping from water. She walked lightly to the servants under the Sun Mansion, leaned on the servants who seemed to be boneless, bit his ears and whispered the lovers.
The servants in the Sun Mansion heard it and felt a heat under him. If he hadn't been more determined, he would have turned over and suppressed the ** at this moment and ravaged him hard. He knew very well that this was a female ghost, and she could change her appearance. She used to be an ugly woman, but now she is a beautiful woman.
The beauty tried to tease the servant of the Sun Mansion again. Seeing that he was still lukewarm, he was immediately angry. After changing his whole body, he turned into an evil ghost with an ugly face like a monkey's red butt, and bit the head of the servant of the Sun Mansion with his teeth and claws.
At this extremely critical moment, a cold snorted: "Bold and evil! Do you dare to take advantage of the lack of a master in the temple to murder the new master? What crime should you be punished?"
After the sound fell, the servants from the Sun Mansion saw a warrior walking in with a big sword, holding the evil ghost's hair in one hand, and lifting the sword in the other hand. The evil ghost screamed and his whole head rolled to the ground.
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but at that moment, the servant of the Sun Mansion saw a white crow. After a soft cry, he flew towards the side door of the main hall. The servant of the Sun Mansion seemed to see a figure sitting. The white crow flew to the opposite side of the figure, twisted for a while, as if it had turned into a human form, and then it couldn’t see clearly.
“Ahhhh~”
The servant of the Sun Mansion exclaimed and returned to his mind. Then he realized that at some point he was already in the main hall. He was facing four mud ghosts in front of him. One of them had lost his head. The mud ghost's head rolled on his feet. After he glanced at the mud ghost's head, the servant of the Sun Mansion was so scared that he took a step back. The mud ghost's head looked very much like the evil ghost just now!
Could it be that the evil ghost just now was transformed by the mud ghost statue in front of you?
After thinking about it for a while, the servants from the Sun Mansion remembered the white crow that flew into the side door of the main hall, and he couldn't help but walk towards the side door of the main hall.
Pushing open the door, a dilapidated corridor appeared in front of him, and walked through the corridor to a deserted courtyard. The servant of the Sun Mansion stopped. He saw two people sitting next to the stone table in the courtyard, each holding a son, playing Go.
The man on his left hand was a middle-aged monk with a gray face and a robe on his body was even more terrible. While playing chess, he grabbed some dark things from an iron bucket beside him and stuffed them into his mouth. The servants of the Sun Mansion looked carefully. The clearly shriveled feces were shriveled from a distance, and a foul smell came from a foul smell.
There is no doubt that this monk who eats feces is the living Buddha of Jin Shicheng!
The person who confronted Jin Shicheng Living Buddha was a handsome young man with long white hair, tied with a crown on his head. The blue clothes on his body looked ordinary, but very neat. On the belt tied around his waist, there were two small swords that were the size of a palm, overlapping each other, giving people the whole feeling that they were very ethereal and elegant.
The servant of the Sun Mansion was about to shout, but when he thought of something, he stopped talking. Since the Living Buddha was playing chess with someone here, it would be impolite to interrupt like this. Moreover, if he annoyed the Living Buddha and the Living Buddha did not agree to help, it would be really not worth it. Especially when he saw the young man's white hair, he couldn't help but think of the white crow just now, and always felt that there seemed to be some special connection between the two.
After a while, the white-haired boy put down the chess piece with some sigh and sighed: "The master is indeed a god-like man, he lost."
The living Buddha smiled and said, "Don't say this, your chess path is flexible and changeable. Whenever you are desperate, you can even die. I can defeat you. I just rely on my strong memory and I have to copy the chess paths of the ancient saints and great masters. Indeed, you did not lose to me, but to the ancient saints and great masters. This is not unfair to lose."
The white-haired boy said in surprise: "The master actually has such supernatural powers!"
The living Buddha shook his head and said, "This is not a magical power worth praising? The methods of your Zhang family's Tianshi Taoism are considered true magical powers. From governing the country and ensuring peace, military affairs are like gods, from killing demons and exorcising demons, food, clothing, housing and transportation, divination, touching your palms and seeing appearances, etc., I admire them all."
The white-haired boy smiled and said, "Master is humble. You are a monk from the "Zen" one of the eight major sects of Buddhism. You are highly skilled in Taoism. How can those who are indifferent to the Zhang family be considered true supernatural powers?"
After the two of them brag about each other for a while, the living Buddha suddenly shook his face and said, "The only thing I bet with you is Go, but two of the other three items are all told by the donor. This is the first thing, will the mouse abandon his companion swallowed by the snake and escape? The donor's words are the "righteous rat", and it turns out to be like this."
"The second thing is, will the mud ghost in the temple hurt the visitor? The donor said, "No, the visitor is the next city god in this temple." The result was also right. So, who is the visitor who is going to visit? The donor said, "He wants to visit the Living Buddha Master." I'm afraid it's also right? Right, are you here to visit me?"
The servant of the Sun Mansion, who was standing respectfully on the side, saw the gaze of the living Buddha, hurriedly bowed and knelt down, telling the story of the Sun family's young master's loss, and then prayed to the living Buddha to help him.
The white-haired boy said, "Master, I will lose to you in Go alone, but I won the other three things. I won three out of four. I don't know the agreement..."
The living Buddha smiled and said, "I will naturally abide by the agreed result. Give it, this is what you want." After that, he took out something from his arms and threw it to the white-haired boy opposite him. It was something wrapped in yellow linoleum paper.
The white-haired boy opened it and there was a map fragment inside the linoleum paper. He grabbed it and flipped it over. After confirming that it was right, he flipped it in his hand and the fragment suddenly disappeared.
The white-haired boy thought for a while and asked, "Master, do you know other friends of my father, and those friends have the greatest possibility to hold such map fragments?"
The living Buddha thought for a while and said, "That's the case. That year, your father and a Taoist priest came to play chess with me. The Taoist priest claimed to be the sloppy real person from Chisong Sect."
"Is the sloppy real person of Akasong Sect? Remember it, say goodbye." The white-haired boy bowed his hand and was about to leave.
The living Buddha suddenly said to the kneeling servant of the Sun Mansion: "A visitor, if you want to save your young master, why don't you want to ask this donor? As soon as he takes action, your young master wakes up is just a small task."
When the servant from Sun's mansion heard this, he was happy and hurriedly knelt down to the white-haired boy. The white-haired boy couldn't help but disturb his hair and said to the living Buddha: "Master, aren't you throwing the trouble to me?"
The living Buddha laughed and said, "Master Zhang, I am saving you. You are plaguing yourself with a robbery. If you don't kill the demons and exorcise the demons and do more good deeds, how can you alleviate the robbery?"
The servants from Sun's mansion also shouted: "I'm so grateful to the immortal to grow up and be kind, and save my young master's life. I have great merits."
The white-haired boy finally sighed and held his right hand in his arms. The servant of the Sun Mansion only felt a soft force to help him up, and he admired the white-haired boy's magical power even more.
The white-haired boy said, "Leave your young master's affairs to me, but you have to promise me one thing."
"But with the command of the Immortal Chief, let alone going up to the oil pan under the Knife Mountain, even if it takes the life of a villain, the villain doesn't care. He just wants the Immortal Chief to save my young master's life." The servant from the Sun Mansion said firmly.
"Ha, you are loyal, there is no need to go up the knife mountain and go down the oil pan, but you will inevitably die." The white-haired boy smiled and said something that made the servants in the heart of the Sun Mansion jump.
The servant of the Sun Mansion gritted his teeth and said firmly, "If my death can save the young master, I will die now for the immortal to see."
The white-haired boy reached out to stop him from hitting the wall, and smiled and said, "No, because you are already dead. If you don't believe it, look back."
When the servant from Sun's mansion heard this, he quickly looked back and saw that "I" was lying on the ground and motionless in the distance. When he looked at himself, he realized that he was translucent now. Could this be what people often call the state of soul after death?
He knelt down to the white-haired boy again with a look of horror: "Xian Chang, when did I die? Why don't I know at all?"
The white-haired boy said, "Just when you watch us catch chess, but you don't have to worry. This may not be a disaster for you."
"Please make a clear statement forever." Sun's mansion asked in a trembling voice.
"Twenty years ago, the previous magistrate of Jinshan County loved the people as much as his son. Under his control, the entire Jinshan County did not close their doors at night or pick up their remains. However, the people at that time gave these merits to Heaven and kept kneeling to Heaven. The magistrate was even angry and thought that the merits he had planted were actually taken away by Heaven, so he led people to smash the City God Temple in the county."
"At that time, you were the county city god of Jinshan County, and you were very angry about the magistrate's behavior of smashing the temple. Without reporting to your superior's mansion, you led someone to kill the magistrate. Although the magistrate's behavior of smashing the city god temple was very bad, he had meritorious management of Jinshan County, so he would not die. Therefore, you were dismissed from work and sentenced to reincarnation. The 20-year period expired, which is today, and you were classified as the magistrate's city god of Jinshan County."
