Huh? Wang Zhe suddenly stopped and looked not far ahead.
On the roadside, under a big tree, sat an old monk with a white beard, wearing monk's robes, looking at Wang Zhe with a smile. He was Zen Master Guangji of Lanruo Temple.
"Amitabha, I wonder where the donor is going?"
"Walking around and looking around."
"When will you come back?"
"I will naturally come back when it's time to come back. Master, won't you be waiting for me here specially?" Wang Zhe said with a smile.
"Exactly, this morning, when the poor monk was reciting Buddhist scriptures, he suddenly felt something in his heart, so he went down the mountain to have a look, but he saw the donor." Zen Master Guangji said with a smile.
"I like to eat meat, drink wine, visit brothels, and kill more than one person. I cannot be a monk, let alone an Arhat protector."
"Amitabha, wine, meat and wealth are just a passing thing. The donor kills to protect others. I, the Buddha, can also get angry and use thunderous means!"
"Stop it, I'm not as noble as you say!" Wang Zhe said hurriedly, "No matter how nice you say it, there is no way I can be a monk."
"Buddhist Dharma protectors do not necessarily have to become monks."
"Oh, then I can think about it."
"If one day Guobei County encounters a disaster, surely the donor will not sit idly by and ignore it?"
"That's natural. No matter what, this is my hometown. What kind of disaster can there be? Is that thousand-year-old locust tree behind your Lanruo Temple going to become a spirit?"
Wang Zhe was stunned by Zen Master Guangji's words.
"No, these days, the poor monk always feels that there is a dark force spying secretly, and there is an unknown atmosphere floating in the sky above Guobei County." Having said this, the old monk was a little worried.
"Ominous atmosphere? Master, you said so. I also feel that the sky above Guobei County is not quite right recently. It is always gray.
Master, what else have you seen? What is that dark power? When will the disaster come?"
Wang Zhe has been watching the celestial phenomena at night recently, and he always feels that this celestial phenomenon is a bit strange.
"Amitabha, everything in the world has cause and effect. The poor monk can't see it yet, maybe because the opportunity has not come yet."
It’s this statement again, I hate you guys being so aggressive!
However, Guang Ji's words made Wang Zhe vaguely worried. No matter what, Guobei County was his hometown after all, and he still had some feelings for his friends and colleagues, who lived together day and night.
He looked back in the direction of Guobei County.
"But you can't go back right after you come out, right?"
"Master, farewell!" He decided to find a place to meditate for a while and then come back for a visit.
"It's past noon, why don't you go up the mountain with the poor monk to try the vegetarian food from Lanruo Temple?"
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I still prefer eating meat."
"That being the case, the benefactor has a smooth journey."
"Thank you, and I wish the master a speedy understanding of Buddhism and attainment of righteousness."
After bidding farewell to the master, Wang Zhe led the dog and left without looking back.
The old monk Guangji stood on the roadside and looked at Wang Zhe's retreating back.
"Good, good!"
In just one day, the man and the dog arrived in Lizhou County. Wang Zhe decided to stay here for one night before leaving, so he found an inn to stay.
"Hey, the people of the Huang family are too arrogant. A housekeeper is so arrogant that he almost beats people to death in the street, and no one cares about them. Where is the justice of God!"
"Shh, please keep your voice down. I heard that Huang Shen is a tyrant in Guobei County, and the county magistrate has to look at his face.
He also has a lot of business in Lizhou, and I heard that just delivering gold and silver to the county magistrate would take several large boxes."
"Huang Shen, Mr. Huang, I asked you why you never go back to Guobei County. It turns out that you are hiding here. What a coincidence!" Wang Zhe was a little surprised after overhearing the conversation between the two people.
It was night and the county town was quiet.
In a courtyard in the county town, a middle-aged man was drunk.
"Which room should I sleep in tonight?" He was thinking about sleeping in the maid's room tonight.
Suddenly a black shadow appeared in front of him.
Damn it!
Just as he was about to scream, his throat was grabbed.
"Spare your life, spare your life!" He immediately woke up from the alcohol.
"Are you the housekeeper here?"
"Yes, yes!"
"Where's Huang Shen?"
"Master? He is not at home."
"Where have you been? When did you leave?"
"Five days ago, I didn't know where I was going."
"If you let this guy run away again, is it possible that he can still do divination?"
After asking carefully, he learned from the housekeeper that Huang Shen was often accompanied by a Taoist priest who was good at divination.
"Old thing!"
"hero......"
With a click, the butler's neck was broken and he fell to the ground.
"Impermanence of Yin and Yang" appeared,
A housekeeper got three lives on his hands and ruined the innocence of several girls. He deserves to be damned.
Just rewarded with some money.
"Fire, fire!"
Anxious shouts broke through the silent night.
That night, a fire broke out in Huang Shen's house in Lizhou County, and the flames shot into the sky.
"Have you heard that Mr. Huang's house caught fire last night? The house collapsed and there was money everywhere!"
"Then Mr. Huang is rich. It is said that he is more prestigious in Guobei County than the county magistrate!"
"Isn't it the same in Lizhou?"
"This is retribution, you deserve it!"
"Hey, keep your voice down, don't let those bastards hear you."
In the early morning, Wang Zhe was preparing to leave Lizhou County. Along the way, he listened to people talking about Mr. Huang. Everyone seemed very happy. Some people are used to being domineering in one place, and they don't know how to restrain themselves even if they change places.
Lai Fu followed him with his tail wagging.
After leaving the county town, there are green mountains and green waters on both sides of the road. There are farmland, mulberry and bamboo, villages and huts, and the occasional sound of chickens crowing and dogs barking. It is peaceful and quiet.
In more than two years, this is the first time Wang Zhe has been to a place so far away from Guobei County.
He didn't walk very fast along the way. He admired the scenery along the way. If he thought the scenery was beautiful, he would stop and take a look.
I also use the "qi-gazing technique" to see the "qi" of the mountains and forests.
Just like that, after five days,
This afternoon, the sun was already setting in the west.
Wang Zhe was standing on the side of the road looking at a mountain not far away. The mountain was not too high, but it looked quite graceful, with lush forests and bamboos, mountain streams and flowing water.
"I think it's nice here, what do you think of Laifu?"
Woof woof, a local dog barked twice.
In this world, many things depend on the eye. Wang Zhe felt that this mountain was very nice at first sight. The more he looked at it, the more graceful it became, so he decided to make this mountain his own place of spiritual cultivation.
So one person and one dog went up the mountain. When they reached the top of the mountain, they looked around and saw lush trees. There was smoke rising from the kitchen in the distance. On the east side of the mountain, surrounded by three mountains, there was a lake.
Wang Zhe found a cave not far from the top of the mountain. The cave was spacious and there was a spring, which was clear and sweet.
"This is the place prepared for me, the chosen place, very good, very good!"
