Chapter 322 Buddha's Birthday

In the following period, Monk Yuanming sent the monks to bring some daily necessities such as food and drinkware from time to time. Compared to the luxurious utensils before, the items they sent were more practical. Even fresh meat and live fish were sent every day. Although a group of servants were replaced, the affairs of the mansion were still hidden in Yuanming's eyes. Often, something was missing in the mansion in the morning, and in the afternoon, it was silently added. There was no need to guess that this was the trick made by Monk Yuanming, but he didn't seem to be malicious when he looked at the monk. After many times, Wu Mian and Gui Bu and others were used to it.

Such a life took two or three years, and Yuanming was the first to visit the mansion. In the following years, the monks had visited Wu Mian and Gui Bugui's mansion several times, except for the festivals. However, they often sent young monks to invite them to Fengxia Temple. However, they had never been to the temple once.

In the past few years, Gui Bugui also inquired about the news about the monk Yuanchang from the new manager of Sishui in Jiankang City. Like a few years ago, the monk still only heard the sound and did not see him. In recent years, he had appeared in almost all towns in Jiankang City, and even fraudsters who used Yuanchang's name to cheat. Within one month, twenty-three "Yuanchang" masters were invited from all over the place. As a result, monks who knew Yuanchang were sent to identify them, and none of these monks were Yuanchang himself. The emperor of the Northern Dynasty was furious and issued an order to kill these twenty-three liars. As for the real Yuanchang, he has not yet appeared.

The missing person with Yuanchang was Guangren, the Volcano master and apprentice. After he took the girl Dai Chuntao away from Wu Mian and Gui Bugui, Gui Bugui specially found the Sishui number to inquire about their news. Dai Chuntao had indeed been sent home by two great masters. He was preparing to get married in the past two years and was determined to go back to Guang at the end of the year, and the Volcano seemed to have completely disappeared from this world. The only surviving god, Yi Yang, disappeared with them.

Since these people were hidden, Wu Mian, if Gui or not, he would watch Jiankang City continue to be free and easy in the space. Although it was a chaotic time, it was indeed a rare free life for these people in recent hundreds of years. The few people who lived in the free and easy life had a illusion that they seemed to have been away from the circle of practicing Taoism and lived comfortably in Jiankang City. However, Qiu Fang's deadline will be coming in a few years. This person has mixed praises and complaints. No matter how many years he has been together, if he really leaves, it will make people sigh.

One morning in the early April of the third year, the young monk from Fengxia Temple brought an invitation from the host monk Yuanming. The sixth day of the fourth month was the birthday of the Buddha. Yuanming invited Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and two monsters to Fengxia Temple to celebrate the festival. In the past two years, Yuanming sent invitations to the Buddha's birthday, but Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, were not interested in this. Xiao Rensan had been there once last year, but unexpectedly, he praised Bai Wuqiu after coming back: "Today is all lively. The beautiful sisters in Jiankang City all went to the temple to burn incense. The food was good, and the emperor sent a table of banquets to pay tribute to Buddha, but the wine to worship Buddha was almost..."

Xiao Ren San raised Bai Wuqiu's thoughts with a few words. Seeing that Fengxia Temple had sent another invitation this year. Before Gui Bugui politely declined, Erlangzi had already taken the initiative to accept the invitation: "Tell me to your head, Monk Yuanming, that we must have arrived early that day. Let him make it lively. God offers people food for me. I understand that the emperor gave me half of the wine and food to pay tribute to Buddha."

After sending the little monk away, Bai Wuqiu then stared at his 'bird father' and said, "Old guy, I will be the master of you. Let's go to the temple to see if the Buddha's birthday is as good as Ren Lao San said."

He was also idle, and Bai Wuqiu finally even told Wu Mian. He dared to go to Fengxia Temple to watch the fun on the sixth day of the first lunar month. At that time, early on the sixth day of the fourth lunar month, Qiu Fang and the other three men and two demons arrived at the gate of Fengxia Temple early. At this time, tens of thousands of people from Jiankang City and the surrounding prefectures and counties squeezed Fengxia Temple inside and out.

Wu Mian, Gui Bugui and Qiu Fang were not interested in competing with mortals, but Bai Wuqiu and Xiao Rensan liked to join in the crowded places. They would squeeze wherever there were many people. There were several waves of people in front of Fengxia Temple, queuing and yelling at each other because of the crowds.

Just when the door was crowded and people inside and outside could not move, a sound of rituals and music suddenly came to mind in the distance. Then the official army began to clear the way, and saw more than ten carriages behind them were filled with food boxes. It should be the banquet that the emperor paid tribute to the Buddha.

Because there were too many people at the temple gate, the official army came to whip out directly. He whipped hard in the crowded place, and pulled out a way out. At this time, a whip of an uneasy official army blew on Bai Wuqiu. Erlangzi had suffered such a loss, and directly grabbed the tip of the whip and grabbed the whip in his hand. Then Erlangzi grabbed the already dumbfounded official army, threw him on the carriage behind, and smashed a large piece of food boxes on the carriage.

Seeing that this black brother dared to fight back, the officials behind rushed over, and the sound of the Buddha's birthday was about to turn into a farce. At this moment, Yuan Ming's voice came from the mountain gate. After the Buddha's name was raised, the host monk said loudly: "Today is the Buddha's birthday, please don't bump into the Buddha. Wu Mian, Gui Bugui, two gentlemen, please spare these officials for Yuan Ming's sake. They are also the subordinates..."

"Stop it, you've smashed everything, and the Buddha will have nothing left after eating it."

Seeing Bai Wuqiu stop cursing, Yuanming immediately opened a passage and invited Wu Mian. Gui Bugui and the emperor's ritual officials entered the temple. At the beginning, the ritual officials were still angry with these outsiders. If it were not for the sake of their friends as Master Yuanming, the official army would have ordered the army to arrest them at this time. After the Buddha's birthday, the heads of their several people fell to the ground. However, after Monk Yuanming whispered a few words in the ear of the ritual officials, he looked at the monks around him with incredible eyes, and did not dare to provoke them.

When these people were invited to the Buddhist temple, it happened to be auspicious. The ritual officer hurriedly ordered the officers to take out the remaining wine and food that were to worship Buddha one by one. After putting everything in place, the ritual officer took out the emperor's manifesto to respect Buddha and began to read the manifesto in front of the pilgrims outside the door.

However, after just reading a few sentences, a cold voice suddenly came from the air: "There are obvious immortals and gods above your heads, why do you still kneel down to the Buddhas in the West? Do you really think that the gods and Buddhas in the West will bless you in this way?"

While talking, a figure slowly appeared in front of the statue of Sakyamuni Buddha in the Buddhist temple. The man smiled coldly and said to Yuan Ming who was already on the spot: "Monk, I heard that you are Yuanchang's junior brother. Now tell me his whereabouts, I can spare you why you are here too!" Yiqi and Yi San Temple Liujiu Pa.

The person who came was Yi Yang, the god who was rescued by Guangren and Volcano. He didn't know where he heard the news, saying that the monk in front of him was the junior brother of the demon monk Yuanchang, and he knew Yuanchang's whereabouts. Yi Yang came to find Yuanming's bad luck. For so many years, Yi Yang was also looking for Yuanchang to avenge Gu Yuanqiu, but he had never found the person where he was. Now he heard that there was such a person who might know Yuanchang's whereabouts here, so he rushed over. Bugui still didn't expect to meet Wu Mian here and Gui Bugui.

"Why are we here?" Wu Mian smiled harshly and continued, "Because there are no gods and Buddhas in heaven who can still bless me, I came here to see them. Maybe they really have some skills but may not be sure."
