Chen Mengsheng had just picked up the pair of long ears of the roaring beast. Before he could scold him, Shangguan Yanran had already taken the roaring beast in a hurry. He said distressedly: "Senior brother, the roaring beast is so sad, so don't punish it.
Already."
Xiang Xiaotian shouted: "Come on, come on. A good meal has disturbed all those monks from the Golden Buddha Temple. Let's go see if the shopkeeper has been bullied by the monks." The roaring beast saw Chen Mengsheng and
As Xiang Xiaotian spoke, he quietly slipped into Shangguan Yanran's sleeve and continued to sleep.
Downstairs, the shopkeeper in Guangshun Building was being supported by two shop assistants with a sad face. Chen Mengsheng knew at a glance that he had been punched by the monk just now. His fingers formed a secret and a green energy was applied to the shopkeeper's body. The shopkeeper immediately
He stretched out his legs and feet and looked at Chen Mengsheng in surprise. The shopkeeper drove away the two waiters and said softly to Chen Mengsheng: "The master is really humble, I really admire him!"
Chen Mengsheng said embarrassedly: "The beating by the shopkeeper was all because of a few of us. I just cast a Taoist nectar spell on the shopkeeper."
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Haha, the little old man's surname is Jia. Don't get me wrong, because I also practiced Taoist techniques when I was in my hometown in Shandong. When I saw your husband take action just now, I knew that he was definitely not an ordinary person.
.”
Chen Mengsheng had a good feeling for Shopkeeper Jia since he entered Guangshun Building, but he didn't know what he meant when he said this. He could only pretend to be confused and said: "Why can't I understand what Shopkeeper Jia said?"
Xiang Xiaotian said helpfully: "Yes, Boss Jia is the one who opened the door to do business. What happened today is indeed our fault. If there is any loss in the store, we will just pay you the price."
"Haha, sir, you have misunderstood. I just want to make friends with you. Why do I have the nerve to let you accompany me when I lose a little money in this store?" Shopkeeper Jia turned around and shouted to the backyard: "Ah Wang,
Laifu has boarded up the door of the shop. We are not doing business today. If you can provide me with a decent table of wine and food in the Jade Pavilion, I will treat these three people to a banquet." The waiter's obedient response came from the backyard.
Chen Mengsheng was completely dumbfounded by Shopkeeper Jia’s actions. In addition to having his head kicked by a donkey for daring to make friends with people who had offended the Golden Buddha Temple in Huizhou City, it was really hard to think of a master who was not afraid of trouble. Chen Mengsheng and Shangguan Yanran
After looking at each other, Shangguan Yanran also frowned and wondered what kind of medicine was sold in Shopkeeper Jia's gourd. Chen Mengsheng said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Jia, the so-called no reward for no merit, since you were also a Taoist.
It is the basis of spiritual practice to be pure in mind and have few desires.”
Xiang Xiaotian saw the unspeakable expression on Shopkeeper Jia's face and laughed and said: "Brother, there are many friends, many roads, many enemies, many walls. Since it is Boss Jia who is kindly punching us, if we refute his
It’s also a bad face, don’t you think?” Xiang Xiaotian secretly winked at Chen Mengsheng. Chen Mengsheng knew that Xiang Xiaotian was a rough-and-tumble man, and he wanted me to find out the purpose of Shopkeeper Jia myself...
"Haha, what the eldest brother said is true. Then we should be respectful rather than obey orders and shamelessly harass Shopkeeper Jia." Shopkeeper Jia happily welcomed Chen Mengsheng and the others to the back hall of the restaurant.
There is a wonderful pavilion in the back hall. The windows, walls, and railings are all hollowed out and carved from sandalwood, which makes people forget about vulgarity. The plaque on the head says "Emerald Pavilion." When you enter the door, you can see hanging calligraphy works by famous artists of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
In the pavilion, Shopkeeper Jia invited Chen Mengsheng to sit at the top, but he sat sideways at the bottom. Shangguan Yanran praised: "Shopkeeper Jia is really secretive. It will be difficult for this Jade Pavilion without thousands of taels of silver."
It’s done.”
Shopkeeper Jia smiled and said: "No matter how much money you have, it's just a decoration. I don't know what's going on in my hometown now. Let's not talk about this anymore, ugh..." Two waiters knocked on the door and came in with food boxes. After placing the drinks, they left.
Stand aside.
"Okay, all of you, please go out. No one is allowed to disturb you. I and the other gentlemen are going to have a drink." Shopkeeper Jia drove away the waiters, picked up the wine flask and filled everyone with wine.
Chen Mengsheng took a sip of wine and said, "Shopkeeper Jia is not an outsider here. If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Shopkeeper Jia accompanied him and said with a smile: "I haven't asked any of you about Gao's names yet. I followed my father in my hometown to teach people about Feng Shui since I was a child. I can be considered a half-practiced Taoist."
Xiang Xiaotian chuckled twice and said: "Shopkeeper Jia, don't say anything that's not cool. Could it be that you are practicing Taoism with my brother?"
"This man is really good at joking. I invited some of you here because I know that the presiding monk of the Golden Buddha Temple has a treasure in his hands." Shopkeeper Jia whispered.
Chen Mengsheng asked: "Baby? What baby?"
Shopkeeper Jia said solemnly: "The abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple has a magic whip in his hand, and there is half a jade talisman on the end of the magic whip. That monk relied on half a jade talisman to become a Huizhou city man.
He thinks he is a god, but he is actually a liar."
Shangguan Yanran asked curiously: "Didn't it say that after he recited the mantra, a golden Buddha head grew out of the ground?"
Shopkeeper Jia said disdainfully: "That's all a lie. The monks in their temple are in the same group. I don't know where they made a gold-plated Buddha statue. When no one knew, he poured a hundred pounds of soybeans."
After pouring water and burying a Buddha statue, the soybeans sprouted and naturally lifted up the Buddha statue. This is absolutely true. I accidentally heard it said by the monk of the Golden Buddha Temple in a restaurant."
Chen Mengsheng suddenly realized: "So that's it, what is that jade talisman?"
Shopkeeper Jia smiled and said: "Do you know that King Wu of Zhou Jifa got a key to heaven after he destroyed Shang? King Wen of Zhou's two younger brothers were named the king of Guo, Guo Zhong, East Guo, and Uncle Guo, West Guo.
Guo State was a vassal state in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty. Later, it moved eastward with King Ping of Zhou Dynasty to the southeast of Shaanxi County in Henan Province. It spans both sides of the Yellow River. Hebei is called Bei Guo, and Henan is called Nan Guo..."
Xiang Xiaotian said displeasedly: "What about Bei Guo and Nan Guo? I don't understand what you mean. Just tell me what you want to do."
"My father was lucky enough to see a gui engraved with King Wu of Zhou's legacy from someone else, so he knew that the half piece of jade talisman held by the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple was the remains of the Tian Key buried in Nanguo."
Xiang Xiaotian was still confused and said: "What is Tianyao?"
Shangguan Yanran smiled and said: "It's not a rare thing. The Tiankey belongs to the Douxiu. Doumu Xie is one of the twenty-eight constellations and the first of the seven constellations in the north. With the Tiankey, you can recruit the Douxiu star official, but only half of it
If it’s a block, then I don’t know.”
Chen Mengsheng continued: "If you only have half a piece, you can send an edict to some land and mountain gods. I wonder what Shopkeeper Jia means when he mentions this piece of Tiankey?"
Shopkeeper Jia quickly toasted to Chen Mengsheng and said: "Sir, you are very good at Taoism. I just hope that you can help me get the half of the Tian Key."
Xiang Xiaotian ate the food and wine and said with a smile: "Boss Jia, are we helping you steal things?"
"No, no. That's not what I meant. If you guys want to defeat the monk who presides over the Golden Buddha Temple, you must first get half of the key. I'm willing to pay a lot of money to buy it. You guys, wait a moment and I'll come." Shopkeeper Jia left. Full of doubts, Chen Mengsheng and the other three quickly walked out of the Jade Pavilion.
Shangguan Yanran thought for a while and said: "Brother, it seems that Shopkeeper Jia is hiding something from us. To put it bluntly, the Tian Key is just a magic talisman, but what use does Shopkeeper Jia have for the Tian Key?"
Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said: "People in the world are just seeking wealth and fame. This is probably why he wants the Tiankey! When you meet someone, you can't just talk about it. We can know what Shopkeeper Jia is thinking by watching carefully."
Xiang Xiaotian cursed angrily: "I was almost at the door of my house, but I didn't expect to meet a monk in Huizhou who was cheating and cheating. I couldn't even worry about eating a meal. Either someone disturbed me, or I was inexplicably messed up..."
The door of Jade Pavilion was pushed open by Shopkeeper Jia like a gust of wind. Xiang Xiaotian took the chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. The three people's conversation stopped abruptly and they all looked at the small square wooden box held by Shopkeeper Jia. ."Haha, I'm sorry, I have to wait a long time."
Xiang Xiaotian asked: "Boss Jia, are you adding food to us?"
Shopkeeper Jia said awkwardly: "You guys are really good at joking. This is something my father left before his death. I don't know what it is written on?"
Chen Mengsheng said calmly: "Since it is something from the predecessors, there is no need to tell outsiders like us. It would be bad if there are any secrets for us to know." Shangguan Yanran listened to Chen Mengsheng's aggressive strategy of retreating to advance. I couldn't help but secretly applaud.
Shopkeeper Jia said with a smile: "When the monks from the Golden Buddha Temple came to make trouble, I could clearly see your body shape and footwork. My two assistants didn't know how a water tank weighing more than 100 kilograms disappeared out of thin air in the blink of an eye. In addition, after I was injured by the monk, my husband's magic healed me completely. So I admire my husband so much that maybe he is the only one who can understand those words." Shopkeeper Jia opened the wooden box lightly and took out the medicine. It was something wrapped in layers of red silk. Shopkeeper Jia opened the red silk, revealing a piece of dark stuff that he didn't know was a cow's horn or another animal bone.
Xiang Xiaotian stood up and took a look and said: "What is this? There are some ghostly symbols on it. Brother, can you see if it is a heavenly book?"
Chen Mengsheng took the animal bones and took a look, his expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Shopkeeper, what do you want the Tian Key for?"
Shangguan Yanran saw two lines of words engraved on the animal bone that looked like pictures. It must be because the animal bones were incomplete that only half of the two lines of words were exposed at the back. She asked curiously: "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
Shopkeeper Jia felt his heart flutter as he was stared at by Chen Mengsheng. He smiled and said, "Sir, as long as you tell me what is written on it, you don't have to worry about anything else. My father heard that as long as he learns the skills on animal bones, he can If you want the wind to catch the wind, if you want the rain to catch the rain, it’s no longer a matter of becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao.”
Chen Mengsheng held the animal bone in his hand, and black smoke came out from the animal bone, and cursed: "The evil done by God can be forgiven, but the evil done by oneself cannot be lived. This is the witchcraft of killing living creatures by using human sacrifices as recorded in the bone inscriptions of the Yin Ruins. I advise you not to go too far and become a demon like the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple. In the end, both humans and gods will be angry and you will not end well." Shopkeeper Jia's face turned red and white as Chen Mengsheng said it. He saw the animal bones slowly turning into something in Chen Mengsheng's hands. Ashes, I was shocked and scared.
Xiang Xiaotian threw his cup and said: "Hmph, it turns out you are also working with the evil monk from the Golden Buddha Temple. I can tell you that the abbot of the Golden Buddha Temple will not end well. If you dare to follow in his footsteps, ask me first.
