"The skin is like a human being, but the heart is like a ghost? There is something in what this monk said."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and then he glanced at the flower lady with some vigilance, and then said to the monk: "Thank you, Master, for reminding me."
It is better to believe that it exists than to believe that it does not exist.
Now that the monk reminded me, there is no need for me to go to Xiangjiang Tower to listen to music. After all, there are still monsters and ghosts in Jinling City. It is always right to be careful. Even if this flower lady is a human, then I will listen to less music.
It doesn't affect anything. On the contrary, if anything happens, it will cause trouble for yourself.
However, the monk's words made Hua Niang angry: "You monk is so rude. What does it have to do with you to attract guests? You don't go to chant sutras and pray to Buddha, but you go to the Qinhuai River to beg for alms. You can tell at a glance that you are a restless monk."
You have good intentions, but you don’t have the compassion of a monk. Instead, you are full of vicious words. Can you live up to the monk’s robes you are wearing?”
"Although I don't understand Buddhism, I also know that there is a saying that people with kind hearts see others as Buddhas, and people with evil hearts see others as demons. If you think I am a demon, your evil heart is also like a demon."
The monk who was about to leave at first heard this and immediately stopped, turned around and opened his eyes angrily: "I poor monk sees good people as Buddhas and evil people as demons. Your malice is as deep as that of demons, and you still dare to quibble.
"
"You bald donkey, why are you a monster?" Hua Niang scolded.
The monk was furious, but he raised his hand and wanted to beat Hua Niang: "You, a demon in human skin, dare to speak rudely. Today, the poor monk only feels that disaster is coming and does not want to cause trouble. If you speak rudely today, you will not be spared."
you."
However, Hua Niang exclaimed in fright and hurriedly dodged around Zhu Yu, Wang Ping, Ning Caichen and Li Xiuyuan: "Young master, save the slave family, this monk is going to kill someone."
"This master is calm, calm, don't do anything." Ning Caichen hurriedly grabbed the monk and said.
The monk opened his eyes angrily: "I didn't want to cause trouble, but this demon is too rampant. If I don't slay the demon today, the inner demon will be born sooner or later. The disaster will be difficult. Donor, you are a kind person, and you must not be attacked by the demon."
Being confused by his appearance, let the poor monk kill him."
"Master, killing someone is against the law." Zhu Yu and Wang Ping beside them also hurriedly advised.
"Now that the poor monk has taken action, he is also determined to sacrifice his life to eliminate the demons, and he also asks the donors to help him." This middle-aged monk was careless, acting like if I don't go to hell, who will.
Li Xiuyuan saw it in his eyes but did not stop him because he didn't know whether to believe the flower girl or the monk.
Seeing that Hua Niang is just an ordinary woman, even though she contradicted the monk with her words, she was just trying to protect her own reputation. There seemed nothing wrong with it. However, this middle-aged monk came all the way to become a vegetarian. He seemed to be wandering here and interacting with everyone.
We don't know each other, so the reminder now is just a good intention and has no other meaning.
Was it just a verbal conflict that led to the fight?
No, it's definitely not that simple.
Although the monk was angry, he did not lose his mind. Otherwise, Ning Caichen, a weak scholar, would not be able to hold this monk back.
The monk and the flower girl were having a quarrel, and as the news spread, some nearby passers-by and scholars in the store came out to watch the fun. Soon, some people gathered near the street.
When there are many people, it is inevitable that there will be some righteous people.
At this time, I saw a scholar striding away and saying loudly: "It is really unreasonable for a monk to bully a weak woman in broad daylight. Why don't you stop it quickly?" After saying this, the scholar grabbed the monk's clothes and said
Pushed it out.
It seemed that he exerted too much force, and the monk was knocked out of the crowd and almost fell to the ground.
"Young lady, are you okay?" the scholar said.
"Thank you so much for your help, young master. My family is safe." Hua Niang said gratefully.
"Well, I'm Zhu Erdan in Jinling City. If this monk comes to trouble you next time, girl, you can come to me. I will help you fight off this arrogant monk." Zhu Erdan said cheerfully, looking like he was brave and upright.
.
Juerdan?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly and he took a look at the scholar. He saw that the scholar was tall and looked powerful. If he hadn't been wearing a long gown, he would have thought he was a strong man.
This is a naturally burly body.
"Zhu Erdan? This name seems familiar. By the way, his name is on the list in front of the Yamen. He is also the scholar nominated this time. He seems to be ranked in front of me." Zhu Yu was also a little surprised. No wonder he felt that this name sounded familiar.
At this time, the monk tidied up his monk's clothes and said: "This donor, although your righteousness is worthy of praise, your pedantry will harm you. This woman does have a demon, a Rakshasa heart. You can only help her."
It will harm others and yourself, so please don’t stop it, the poor monk will cast down the demon today."
"How dare you, a monk, be rude and ask for a beating?" Zhuerdan was furious, not like a scholar but like a knight, and he strode forward to teach the monk a lesson.
Seeing this, the monk could only sigh: "I am blocked by you today, so I have nothing to say."
After saying that, without waiting for Zhuerdan to take action, he hurriedly left, not to be entangled in this matter any longer.
Li Xiuyuan saw it in his eyes, but did not participate because he could not decide which side should be better helped. However, because of this incident, he had become somewhat wary of the flower girl in his heart.
There is probably no reason why this monk is so targeting this flower girl.
"Stay away from this woman, and turn around to let the ghosts and gods see if this woman is normal." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself.
When Zhu Erdan saw the monk leaving, he felt a little aggrieved. He looked at Li Xiuyuan and said, "You are also scholars. Don't you know about the righteousness and death festival? Now a girl is being entangled by gangsters. Why are you standing aside silently and not helping?
, and you don’t support one or two? Is it because you are afraid of getting into trouble, so you are timid and stay out of it? Huh, as a fellow scholar, I am really ashamed to be in your company."
Timid?
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. He had never been called timid and fearful in all his life.
"This brother just opened his mouth and scolded me. This is not what a scholar should do. If you want a hero to save a beauty, why would you step on me?" He frowned and said with a bit of coldness.
What he hates most is this kind of person who likes to belittle others and show off himself. This kind of person seems to be generous, but in fact he is just a complete villain.
You have to know that you have not provoked him or provoked him. How can you not take him seriously just by saying "Zhu Erdan"?
Zhu Erdan said: "This girl is with you, and if you don't protect her, shouldn't you scold her?"
"How can you know what I'm thinking in my heart? If you help others, why bother involving other people?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"I just feel sorry for this girl." Zhu Erdan said with a slight hum.
Ning Caichen, who was standing next to him, said: "Brother, you have misunderstood Mr. Li. He is not timid or afraid of trouble, nor is he unwilling to help others. It's just that there are some misunderstandings about this matter, and it is not what brother thought.
"
Others may think that Li Xiuyuan is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but he, Wang Ping, Zhu Yu and others will definitely not.
Because they had seen Li Xiuyuan's methods, they could subdue victims and stabilize a city with a single stroke. They dared to kill ghosts and monsters alone in the wilderness. Their bravery was unparalleled. None of them was saved by Li Xiuyuan.
If he hadn't been unjust, he and others would have been killed by ghosts long ago.
I guess it was the monk's words that made Li Xiuyuan hesitate. After all, they all knew that Li Xiuyuan had no shortcomings, except that he was very sensitive to ghosts.
"It's not what I thought. What is it? That monk has a sinister look on his face and he beats anyone he sees. You can't hold him back. Is that still reasonable?"
Zhu Erdan said, but he did not believe Ning Caichen's words and only thought that Li Xiuyuan was a timid person who was afraid of getting into trouble.
Even if he is not, he is still a selfish person.
"Master Zhu is very grateful for his intervention in rescuing the slave family. However, others cannot be blamed for this matter. It was the slave family who had a quarrel with the monk, so he was provoked to take action. The slave family brought this matter on themselves, and it is indeed difficult for others to help. Mr. Li
It's understandable to hesitate, and you're not really timid." Hua Niang saluted and said a good word for Li Xiuyuan.
Zhu Erdan's anger subsided for a moment, and then he said: "Forget about what happened just now, but I was a little rude before I left. Please forgive me."
