Chapter 26 Sun Guitou
The three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have always had the saying that they have made good connections.
This is not only a warning to the virtues of the monks, but also a valuable experience summarized by ancestors of all generations.
The world is like chess, and the world is unpredictable.
Now the little demon may not be a demon king in the future.
A down-and-out scholar may not have to find another way and enjoy the world.
Being kind to others is to make a connection with yourself, and the incense between the red silk and the white jade flute is a proof.
The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have been around the world for many years. They not only developed a large number of magical techniques, Buddhist soldiers and literary treasures, but also obtained many effective ways of dealing with the world through the experience of generations of monks. These methods, practices, and experiences have been sorted into books and become valuable accumulations.
Many monks focus on learning the former and have a natural sense of superiority to the secular world. After all, monks of the three religions are recognized by the Tang Dynasty government and are treated politely wherever they go.
Wu Qi read a large number of books in Fuyun Temple and found that no matter great scholars, monks or great Nascent Soul monks, they all emphasized in different ways: entering the world is an important part of practice, and it is necessary to enter the world to achieve transcendence, understand the mind and see the nature, and follow nature.
The world of practice and the secular world are not separated, but are blended with each other and are both exterior and external.
...
On this day, Wu Qi sat cross-legged in the East Temple as usual, practicing Qi and meditating, and waiting for the opportunity to incense.
The incense has not arrived, but I have waited for Bai Yuxiao and Fox Demon Hong Ling.
Bai Yuxiao changed into an inconspicuous gray-brown robe, carried a bookcase on her back, and tied a bamboo sword on her waist, looking like a rushing scholar.
Hong Ling wore a matte head, a blue round collar robe, and a bamboo umbrella in her hand. Even if she pretended to be a man, she was still pretty and charming.
It was common for women to dress up as men in Tang Dynasty, and it was not uncommon for her to look like this.
Wu Qi smiled and said, "What? Are you two going to Beijing to take the exam?"
"Master, don't want to make a joke. We are just going out to collect folks. Recently, the deadline is approaching, and Qianji Bookstore has been urging..."
It turned out to be collecting materials.
Bai Yuxiao pulled the hemp rope on his shoulder: "But I and Hong Ling found out about a strange thing, which was quite suspicious and had to come here to disturb the Taoist priest."
"Let's say it."
Wu Qi kept his smile and listened carefully.
Bai Yuxiao and Hong Ling originally planned to go to Jianzhou first, then to Longyou County, Jiazhou, and then return to Chengdu Prefecture from Jiulong County, Pengzhou. They searched for various folk rumors along the way and sorted them out.
Passing through Lingxianwang Temple outside the city, Bai Yuxiao found people around the temple. When he looked closer, he saw that the person surrounded was a man with a ferocious appearance and almost no human form.
The weird man was calm and pointed his face and said, "This is the appearance of ghosts and gods given by the way of heaven."
One of the onlookers laughed: "Sun Xiaowen, do you dare to go home with this face? You must have offended some immortal gods and monsters and were punished."
Someone followed suit and cheered: "He has been smelly since he was a child and often cursed. No one in his neighbors has ever been scolded by him. Now he is suffering retribution."
Sun Xiaowen was calm and kept his hands behind his back: "You have never read books, don't understand opportunities, and don't have the same knowledge as you."
He strode into the Lingxian King Temple, scaring the female pilgrims to flee in all directions.
Bai Yuxiao recognized Sun Xiaowen. This person and him were from Meizhou. They were a few years older than Bai Yuxiao and were even more famous.
Sun Xiaowen has had many strange behaviors and strange past events, so he is named after it.
The most well-known thing is the "two taels of silver".
There is a business in Tongyi County, Meizhou where people were beaten and punished for the person being beaten and punished. People in this industry called the hair ghost.
Sun Xiaowen is idle and once acted as a ghost for Mr. Jia and received two taels of silver as a reward.
When he was punished by the stick, he couldn't bear it, so he secretly bribed the stick officer with two taels of silver. The stick punishment became lighter, and he finally survived the number of sticks.
After being beaten, Sun Xiaowen found Na Jia and thanked him, saying that if there were no two taels of silver, I would almost die under the stick.
Turning back, Sun Xiaowen thought about it more and more wrong, so he asked him to make up for his two taels of silver. The other party naturally refused, and Sun Xiaowen was so angry that he scolded him in the street.
Later, this incident was spread, so Sun Xiaowen was often ridiculed, saying that you lost two taels of silver?
"Sun Xiaowen is not a fool. He just doesn't know how to restrain his words and deeds. He is easy to be confused when he is whim, but he doesn't listen to others' opinions. He is very good at cursing people."
Bai Yuxiao dusted the ashes with her sleeves, put down the bookcase, and sat on the ground.
"He was stubborn and stinky, but he looked normal in the past and was a little fat. This time he seemed like he had changed his head."
Sun Xiaowen became as big as a plate, with deep eyes and arrogance, thick lips and wide tongue, and curly hair. When he was eating and drinking, he had to stretch out his tongue to curl it, saliva splashed everywhere, snoring, and terrifying ugly.
Bai Yuxiao probably went to ask, but he probably refused to answer, so he let Hong Ling take action. The little fox demon in the water spirit was beating him hard, and Sun Xiaowen could not resist the female sex and told him all.
It turned out that Sun Xiaowen was feeling that his fate was not good, so he went to Lingxian King Temple to seek blessings and turn luck. Unexpectedly, seeing the statue of Lingxian King's wife, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
There is such a beautiful woman in the world!
The more Sun Xiaowen looked at it, the harder it was to extricate himself, but he was suffering from the fact that he was in love with the statue of the god in the temple.
He couldn't help but touch the cheek of the lady statue with his hands and sighed: "Madam is so beautiful, a real man deserves such a wife."
That night, Sun Xiaowen dreamed of a person holding a long saw in one hand.
While sawing Sun Xiaowen's head, the man cursed: "What an ugly thing you are, you dare to get involved in your wife. It's so outrageous!"
Sun Xiaowen never refused to lose and fought back: "Your mother is dead, it's all your business! Are you the King of Lingxian? Yes, I apologize, I'm sorry, your wife is so beautiful."
"No? Climb!"
"All the little monsters dare to come out and scare people. The public security in Chengdu is getting worse and worse. Where are the monsters you are? Report a name, do you see if I call you tomorrow or not!"
The other party couldn't scold him and ran away in disgrace.
Sun Xiaowen got up the next day and felt refreshed.
He has never been afraid of anyone in swearing.
It was not until he washed his face that he realized something was wrong. His head was gone, but he changed it to a ghost head!
Sun Xiaowen has always been stubborn and cannot admit that he was teased by ghosts and monsters. He said to the outside world that it was given to the law of heaven and the appearance of ghosts and gods.
He suspected that the ghost that cut off his head was in the Lingxian King Temple.
...
Wu Qi frowned when he heard this: "Why didn't he report the case when the Jianyouwei Department?"
All the matters of demons and ghosts are the duties of the Supervisory Guard. The impact of demons and ghosts cutting their heads outside the city is considered to be bad.
"He's afraid, too."
Bai Yuxiao lifted up her sleeves and smiled bitterly: "I am afraid that the other party will be forced to jump over the wall and completely destroy his head. Even if he catches the monster, Sun Xiaowen will live like this for the rest of his life, which is unbearable for him."
Wu Qi remembered that when he was looking for Wang Mengsheng's soul in Lingxian King Temple, he said that there was a demonic energy on the statue of the Wife of the Spirit King.
Maybe it is related to the ghost that cuts Sun Xiaowen's head.
"If this is the case, I wouldn't dare to disturb Taoist Changqing Xiu." Bai Yuxiao looked at the little fox demon next to him.
Hong Ling bit her lip: "Honor, I smelled the unique smell of You on Sun Xiaowen..."
Wu Qi's eyes narrowed: "Are you sure?"
“Eight out of ten.”
Hong Ling's little face was sure and her fingers were tightened: "Then Sun Xiaowen should have contacted the ghost."
"The scent itself is tasteless and invisible, but if it touches the creature, it will form a faint fragrance, similar to the poppy corn and will soon dissipate. The fox demon can smell it."
There were many things flashing through Wu Qi's mind.
Behind the soul car and the wooden horse, the strange demon cultivator appears and disappears.
Wang Meng locks his soul and trains his soul, hides his soul in the talisman, and the old Miao doctor who cannot be verified.
In conjunction with the fact that the Jianyouwei began to frequently check the You Gui, and the ghost messengers frequently took it and released it.
Lingxian King Temple is suspected to be a ghost, and Sun Xiaowen was cut off from his head...
Yizhou has been in a state of peace recently.
