Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

On the other side, Zhong Wanling and his party followed a few mountain men on a mountain road, and the temple turned out to be not too far from their camp. Yu Gengze, Sun Zhaoyang, and even Mu Xiaochuan felt a little uneasy about how they had gone along this journey.

Zhong Wanling, the"lady of the world", was very calm and chatted with the mountain people without any pretense."Sister, what is that elixir you are talking about?"

The eldest sister laughed heartily."That's a good thing. Men will be braver after eating it, and women will be more energetic after eating it. Oh, sister, you are so beautiful, if you eat it, you will definitely look like a fairy."

Zhong Wanling laughed twice, and then asked:"This Doesn't the medicine cost anything?"

"cost?"The eldest sister repeated it without knowing why.

Zhong Wanling changed her words and said:"I mean, what should I use in exchange for this elixir? To be honest, my father is weak and seriously ill. If there is a miraculous effect, the little girl would like to ask for one and give it to her father to try."

"Oh, she is still a filial daughter."The eldest sister sighed softly, looking at Zhong Wanling with an extra pity in her eyes,"This elixir is free of charge. Empress Posa is so merciful that as long as you join the religion, you will be her child, and you will be given elixirs every month."

"per month? The uncle smiled and explained:"Mother Posa is the moon goddess. Once a month on her birthday, if you see there is no moon in the sky, it means that the moon goddess Posa has come to the world.""

Zhong Wanling smiled."I see."

"It's just that only we believers have the elixir. If you become a believer, of course you can also have it, but you can only eat it at the celebration and cannot take it away."

"It's useless to take it away. Without the blessing of the Posa Goddess, the elixir is just a mud pill and will soon dry up."

Zhong Wanling sighed with regret. The leading man in front called happily:"We're here, we're here."

Within less time than a stick of incense, a group of people walked to a low slope, and there was a small temple on the slope.

The temple is a Buddhist temple, but it is a Buddhist temple that has been empty and abandoned for a long time. Looking at the architectural style and decoration, This is supposed to be Huayan Buddhism in the Qing Dynasty, but now the temple is noisy, mixed with obscene drum music that is very inconsistent with Buddhism, and even the moans of women. Although

Zhong Wanling has seen many big scenes, after all, he still has She was just a girl who had not left the palace, and her face turned red for a moment under the gauze curtain. Mu Xiaochuan also turned red, clasped his hands and recited"Amitabha""

"Hey, this big brother is still a Buddhist disciple, quite pure. The eldest sister patted Mu Xiaochuan on the lower back and said jokingly:"Hey, brother, you have such a good figure.""

Mu Xiaochuan turned around to leave in shame and anger, but when he saw Zhong Wanling standing silently behind him, he paused. He could only sigh heavily and turned around angrily. The leading man, Xu Xinyue, was the eldest sister. Yes, he scolded the eldest sister in dialect unhappily, and glared at Mu Xiaochuan fiercely.

Yu Gengze approached Zhong Wanling and persuaded softly:"Master, Miss, let's go back. This...this place is not suitable for us to come.

The eldest sister wondered:"Why is it inappropriate?" It’s very lively inside, and there’s plenty of good wine and meat. Several of us in the village have been saving for a month just for today."Seeing a little embarrassment and embarrassment on the faces of several people, they said with a smile:"Hey, it doesn't matter that I'm young. This man and woman, just like yin and yang, were born to be together. What's there to be embarrassed about?"The eldest sister gestured with two fingers side by side, and then intertwined them ambiguously. It was obvious that there was no response from the few people, so they had to wave their hands boringly,"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. That was not some shameful show, it was a fairy show dedicated to worship the Posa Empress. It probably talked about something that happened to the Posa Empress in the fairy world. We don’t understand, so we can just eat and drink next to them, no matter what they sing."

Seeing the eldest sister frequently making eye contact with this group of people, the leading man became anxious."Er Yamei!"

The eldest sister coquettishly called"Brother" in a tone that was inappropriate for her age, and persuaded:"I will just play with them."

Zhong Wanling raised his hand to stop Yu Gengze without leaving a trace.

Several mountain people enthusiastically led the group into the Buddhist temple. The temple was indeed full of people as the mountain people said. The collapse of the front yard of the temple was more serious than the external wall, and the front yard had already There is no trace of the original Buddhist temple, and now it is filled with dozens of round tables filled with wine, meat, melons and fruits. Around each table are many villagers and people dressed as hunters, eating meat, laughing, or fisting. Drinking.

There is a slightly raised platform in the distance, which seems to be where the front hall used to be. However, in the front half of the front hall, there is only a low wall less than half a person's height, which has now been transformed into a huge stage. , a strange and lewd drama was being performed at this time - four or five muscular men, shirtless and upper body, surrounding three women, dancing like a primitive tribe's dance; the three women were wearing floor-length gauze scarves, but inside Wearing only a bellyband and a hip wrap, with alluring makeup, she twists her body like a water snake, dances the gauze wrapped around her body, entangles and teases among the strong men, and sings a song like a moan.

Farther away is a large Buddha sitting cross-legged, which should have been enshrined in the front hall. The Buddha sat solemnly on the lotus platform, with one hand raised. The firelight from the stage below could only illuminate its lotus platform and the seat he was sitting on. People can't see clearly the face under the half-shaded roof of the lower body. Maybe it doesn't want to be seen by these ignorant people, maybe it doesn't want to see this filthy world. When a group of people stepped into the temple gate, there was a man wearing A man in a floor-length black cloak came over. The man was dressed strangely. Although it was already autumn and the residual heat of summer had not faded away, the man was wearing a black cloak covering half of his face. , with long sleeves covering his hands, and the whole person was covered tightly.

The man noticed Zhong Wanling's probing gaze, raised his head, and revealed the face of a man in his forties. There seemed to be nothing wrong with the man, but his skin was a little pale. The hair in front of his forehead was very long and greasy, almost covering the man's eyes.

The leading man quickly explained:"Master Xinghui, these are the new ones recommended by our Pingdong Village this month. They want to come first." Look, there are five more people over there in the woods."

"Oh, is it so? The man spoke weakly, showed a weak smile, folded his sleeves up and down, and said:"That's good, Pu Noise has no Pang Kun.""

The mountain people also held orchids in their hands and stacked them up and down, and responded:"Kuang Dandan."

The man walked up to Zhong Wanling and others, folded his hands and bowed slightly, smiling:"Mother Posa welcomes you. Mother Posa is willing to entertain all those who are destined to come. Zhong

Wanling and others bowed to express their gratitude.

The man said warmly:"Don't worry about your friends, I will send someone to pick them up." My friend has traveled a long way from the mountains and has worked hard. Please take a seat and rest first, so as not to worry about it any more. Later, Mr. Nichiwa will interview you personally. There is no Pangkun in the world."

Zhong Wanling and others also imitated the behavior of the mountain people and returned the salute."Kuang Dandan."

The man smiled happily, nodded to the mountain people again, walked gracefully to another place, summoned several men in black robes who looked like disciples, and gave a few instructions.

Bring Zhong Wanling and the others. Several people at the table happily took Zhong Wanling and others to a table on the east side of the courtyard.

Apparently the celebration had begun, and the table had already been served.

A man at the table smiled when he saw several people bringing strangers over. Said:"Hey, Er Yamei'er really found her? Another person also laughed and said:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I thought you weren't coming, so I started eating first.""

A very old-looking old man glared at the two people, pushed away the bench next to him, and greeted with a smile:"Erya, please ignore those boys, you are the great hero of our village today."

The eldest sister also glared at the two people fiercely, smiled at the old man, and asked Zhong Wanling and others to sit down."Come on, sit down quickly, don't let these two seniors take advantage of them."

"Hey, Erya sister, how do you speak?"

The eldest sister didn't bother to pay attention to these people. She sat down next to the leading man, pulled out two long benches from under the table, and pulled Zhong Wanling to sit down next to her."Sit here, sister, let's stay far away from them. , ignore them."

The two men noticed that there was a young woman wearing a gauze hat behind them."Hey, there is a girl. Why was it so late at night and it was covered so tightly? I quickly took it off and let my brother take a look."

Actually, someone noticed Zhong Wanling when she stepped into the temple gate. There are very few women who can follow her up the mountain. In this remote country, no one has ever seen such a young woman dressed in such a manner. It's just that there are many people around this woman. There were so many people, not to mention the shrewd Erya eldest sister and her concubine, but the tall and muscular young man next to the woman, they didn't dare to make a mistake easily. It's just that there are many people with treacherous intentions. Once When someone starts, people will become restless

"Yes, why are you wrapped up so tightly? Let me show you, buddy, if you look ugly?"

"Why are you so shy? Look, you won’t lose any meat!"

What's more, he actually wanted to come forward and pick up Zhong Wanling's gauze hat while he was drunk.

Mu Xiaochuan grabbed the man's hand and stared angrily. The man was so frightened that he trembled all over and subconsciously wanted to take back his hand. But when he heard the booing behind him, he emboldened himself again and yelled with a red face:"What, what's going on, you want to stir up trouble? come! Before Mu

Xiaochuan could speak, the eldest sister at the side gave up, slapped the table and jumped up, cursing:"You are the one who is causing trouble, aren't you, Lai Stuttering?" This girl is a guest of our Pingdong Village. You want to touch our Pingdong Village people, right?"

"Hey, Erya, what are you talking about?

The bearded man also stood up and said,"Do you want to cause trouble on the birthday of Po Sa?" What a big dog! Should we invite Master Xinghui to comment?"

The man clicked his tongue and returned to the next table angrily. The surrounding area returned to calm. Those who drank wine and those who ate meat did not dare to make the same mistake again.

The eldest sister sat back, apologetically poured a bowl of wine and pushed it to Zhong Wanling. In front of him, he said:"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the men in this place are used to being vulgar, sister, please don't pay attention to them. Come, drink some wine and eat some meat."With that, he went to tear up the roast chicken on the table.

Zhong Wanling declined gently:"Sister, I'm not busy, so I can't drink."

"Yeah, you won’t give me any face either?"

Yu Gengze quickly reached for the wine bowl, took the chicken wings that the eldest sister put in front of Zhong Wanling with one hand, and explained with a smile:"Eldest sister, don't get me wrong. The young lady is weak, and she is not allowed to drink or eat greasy food at home."

"Yeah, that's true."The eldest sister's tone softened,"Oh, the children in this city are well fed and well clothed, but they are quite pitiful. They can't eat this or that. She thought for a while, took a plum from another plate, and placed it in front of Zhong Wanling."If you can't eat meat, just eat some fruit. Don't be hungry." These plums are grown in our village. Try them. They are very sweet."

Zhong Wanling took the plums, said"thank you" softly, took the plums into the gauze curtain and started eating.

Yu Gengze watched Zhong Wanling finish the plums, swallowed, then held the wine bowl in one hand, Holding the chicken wings in one hand, he sat back down and started eating without any ceremony. In fact, Yu Gengze was also a little worried at first. This place was strange after all, and the customs taught by the Posa Empress were also a bit strange. He would call him for a while. He doesn't dare to eat the food here. Now that Zhong Wanling has eaten it, what else is he afraid of? Dare to love Zhong Wanling because she is a picky eater, not because of anything. Yu Gengze, who has traveled across mountains and rivers, has been hungry all day. The wild fruits and vegetables that boy Song Lian found were not enough to eat.

As soon as the senior man started eating, Han Cheng and Sun Zhaoyang became unkind, leaving Mu Xiaochuan sitting calmly next to Zhong Wanling, not moving or speaking. Sitting with eyes lowered, like a giant Buddha.

The eldest sister felt uncomfortable again when she saw that Mu Xiaochuan was the only one who refused to eat. She also remembered that in front of the temple, several people seemed to have said that this burly young junior still believed in Buddhism. Then he took another plum."Brother, please eat a plum.""

Mu Xiaochuan still ignored him and didn't react at all.

Before the eldest sister could get upset, Zhong Wanling reached out and snatched the plum, and said with a gentle smile:"Sister, leave him alone. He can't eat anything now."As he said that, he glanced pointedly at the stage in the distance. The eldest sister immediately realized that Zhong Wanling was talking about the singing and dancing there that was different from other places.

"Ouch, so pretentious."The eldest sister glanced at the burly junior with some disapproval, and immediately lost her favorable impression of this young man with a good body. She turned to the Jin Gui girl next to her and asked,"Does it taste good? Sister, I'll get you some more."Zhong Wanling smiled and nodded slightly.
