Chapter 23 Entering the Mountain Village, Evil Monk Cannibalism

Even Shisheng himself didn't understand why he wanted to help her, because they just met her just now.

According to common sense, he shouldn't have done such idiots. But he made this decision. With his personality, he was naturally not about killing demons and eliminating demons and upholding justice. In fact, Shisheng at that time did not have such great ambitions.

Perhaps it was just because of the look of the woman named Xiaobai, and that's all. Shisheng seemed to see her past self in her eyes, and the one who was alone doing something he was not willing to do to make a living in the world.

He knew that loneliness, although he would not say it.

So he was willing to believe in this woman, a woman who was orphan like him.

Anyway, he was not very interested in the "Lilac Treasure House". Instead of going to Macheng with them tomorrow, it would be better to use this time to help the girl solve things that she might not be able to solve in her life. Shisheng felt that it seemed very meaningful to do this.

But he was not a person who liked to cause trouble for others. At this time, what he decided by himself did not want to delay everyone's itinerary, so he took off the cloak outside the Taoist robe and engraved a few lines of words on it with his small knife:

I'm going to help others get rid of demons. Everyone can rest assured. In the future, Macheng will gather and stay in Shisheng.

He asked Xiaobai to use a cat to deliver the cloak to the Xiao family, and then went on the road with Xiaobai in the darkness.

Xiaobai couldn't believe that he had met someone who was willing to help him. She was pure by nature and was afraid that this enthusiastic person would be implicated at first. But after seeing Shisheng use a few wind body methods, he realized that this young man was actually a monster hunter with unique skills.

So she cried to Shisheng and thanked him. Shisheng didn't understand why people now like to kneel down so much.

But these are not the key points. Let's talk less. Until dawn, the two of them had already left the town and headed to the south of the coniferous mountains.

As mentioned in the previous document, Xiaobai's hometown is a small mountain village called Eqin Village. According to legend, the people there were fugitives who died in the early years when the pre-Qin period was destroyed. They fled to the mountains to live in seclusion. Because some of the escaped people knew how to trick, this ancient beast taming technique was passed down in the village.

Along the way, Shisheng wanted to learn more about the demon monk so that he could prescribe the right medicine at that time, so he asked Xiaobai what origins and what methods did he usually have?

Xiaobai told Shisheng: When the monk came, he said that he was coming from the east. When he was asking for rain, he had to lie on the altar as if he had died. He had to lie on half a stick of incense every time, and he would only get up and turn the prayer drum when the rain stopped. He was usually the same as an ordinary monk, but for the past six months, the villagers treated him like a god, and he was too busy alone, so he didn't know where to find an apprentice to help take care of everything.

"Then does that apprentice eat people too?" Shisheng asked.

It seems that this monk must be a monster, there are two in total, one big and one small.

Xiaobai nodded and said, "Yes, his apprentice's face is so pale and his eyes are terrible. Every time I steal money back, I have to count it for him. Then he is willing to let my uncles and aunts go to the 'Peace'. But he wants more and more money. If it weren't for Brother Shisheng, you will appear, I really don't know how long it will last."

After saying this, she looked at Shisheng with gratitude again, which made Shisheng feel embarrassed. Seeing that Xiaobai's tears were about to come out again, Shisheng quickly coughed and said, "I said you don't need to thank me. Why do you say that? Well, practice the way for heaven, the way, the way follows nature......Yes, so this is natural, what you should do."

When Xiaobai heard that he was talking interestingly, he was distracted. She came to life: "What is Tao following nature? Who said this?"

"What my master on the mountain said." Shisheng smiled, then narrowed his eyes and poked his nose with his hands, and then said to Xiaobai: "He probably looks like this, and he drinks and sings every day, haha."

After saying that, Shisheng told Xiaobai about his life in Doumi Temple. After listening to it, Xiaobai seemed to be unable to believe that there was such a fairyland in this world, so he was so immersed in his listening. When she heard the monkey called Taoist Master Xianhe, she giggled and then said to Shisheng: "It's so funny, monkeys are monkeys, why are they called Xianhe? But what you said is really good, I really want to go and have a look."

"It's done." Shisheng said, "When we find what we are looking for, I will take you up the mountain. My master is very good and will definitely like you very much."

Xiaobai lowered his head, sighed, and said, "Let's talk about it, I really can't live without my uncles. Although they don't like me now, I can't ignore them........ Brother Shisheng, there is my hometown."

While speaking, Xiaobai reached out to point, Shisheng looked in the direction of her finger, but saw a little smoke rising in the mountains. It should be a small village.

It was already afternoon. When Shisheng followed Xiaobai to the village, he found that there were not many people in the village. Xiaobai said that there were many people here before, but since the monk came, there have been fewer and fewer people. They only rely on the only little grain stored and the food she stole back. They chanted scriptures when they were hungry, hoping that "luck" would come to them as soon as possible and could enter the wall of the temple as soon as possible to reach the "bliss".

The more he thought about it, the more helpless he felt. At this moment, an old man in rags walked past the entrance of the village. The old man was as thin as a skull, his eyes were concave, obviously hungry. He was twisting Buddhist beads while walking. When Xiaobai saw this, he hurriedly took out a wheat cake from his bag and walked up to support the old man and said, "Uncle Tian, ​​I'm late, you should eat something quickly."

After seeing Xiaobai, the old man took the wheat cake and cursed at her, "Damn girl, why are you running out? It's because you don't believe in Buddhism that the Buddha didn't accept me. Eat, what's the use of eating this cake? I'll be hungry tomorrow if I eat it? How can I go to the Pure Land? Amitabha Buddha Amitabha."

When Xiaobai saw the old man scolding her, he didn't say anything, but just begged him to eat something. The old man walked angrily while eating while chanting Buddha's name.

The few people I saw in the village were like this old man, only to see them holding scriptures or turning prayer drums in their hands, as if this was the only way to the Pure Land.

Shisheng shook his head, thinking in his heart where this is the Buddhist belief? You should know that the Buddha is not like this, but the method of saving the people?

For some reason, the behavior of these people reminded Shisheng of the people in his hometown. Those people braved the wind and snow to worship the Bodhisattvas in the ruined temple on the mountain, but they didn't know why they worshiped. Good people also worshiped Buddhas and wicked people also worshiped Buddhas because they did not understand the intention of worshiping Buddhas. They blindly sought and fantasized, but they never thought about changing anything from themselves.

Thinking of this, Shisheng sighed, "What's the use of such piety? Even though Lingshan is right in front of you, you have to walk over with your legs."

This was what his monk master said to him. Shisheng vaguely remembered that the monk once said to him: Most people in the world do not know the Buddha's intentions, but blindness is useless.

Shisheng was young and did not know the deep meaning of this sentence. When he thought about it again, he had already felt something else in his heart. Yes, although Buddha is good, everyone wants to become a Buddha, so everyone has Buddha nature in their hearts. Everyone can be Buddha, because Buddha nature is a good nature. If the heart is not good, then what's the use even if they believe in Buddha?

Damn monster.

When Shisheng saw this scene, he was inexplicably angry. What he was annoyed was that these monsters followed the banner of Buddhism and were ignorant sentient beings, killing people under the guise of kindness, was far more evil than those who directly committed evil!

Thinking of this, he said to the little man: "Don't give me a cake first, take me to that temple."

Xiaobai nodded, and then led Shisheng to the back of the village.

The temple was built on an open space behind the village. There was a large incense burner in front of the temple and was covered with smoke, but in the fragrance, Shisheng smelled a bloody smell.

Shisheng frowned and did not speak, but walked into the mountain gate with Xiaobai.

The temple was filled with villagers at this time. They knelt in front of the hall with thin bones and kowtowed, and an old monk accompanied him to recite scriptures.

"It's him." Xiaobai whispered to Shisheng.

Xiaobai's voice trembled a little, and Shisheng nodded. The thin old monk also noticed Xiaobai at this time, and saw him raise his head, then said vigilantly to Xiaobai: "Why are you back now? Who is this person?"
