Who is going to open the door
The knocking on the door continued.
Yu Jiatang looked at himself, then turned to look at Duan Jingxuan.
The great monk usually fell asleep lying on his side on the haystack, as if he hadn't heard anything, and didn't even move his eyelids.
Do you want him, a leopard, to go
I am afraid of the dark.
Afraid of getting up in the dark, even afraid of seeing myself.
I won't go.
Yu Jiatang immediately lay down again, pretending that he didn't hear anything.
So one person and one leopard, one pretended to be an immovable stone Buddha statue on the haystack, and one "fear of the dark" pretended to be deaf.
The frequency of knocking on the door became more and more rapid, and Yu Jiatang could imagine the other party's mood about to explode in place, but it didn't help, the two in the temple were unwilling to move.
After a long time, Duan Jingxuan opened his eyes and said, "Lianhua, go and see who is knocking on the door."
Yu Jiatang was lying on the ground, "flapping" Duan Jingxuan's body with his round stick-like long tail, every time the tail was raised high and pulled down aggressively, and the moment it fell on the monk, it became very gentle, as if He is showing off the flexibility of his tail, and it seems to be deliberately scaring people.
"No. It's so dark outside, and I'm still a little leopard. Isn't this kind of thing supposed to be done by an adult like you?"
Black Panther's words sounded very reasonable, Duan Jingxuan couldn't refute, so he had to get up and open the door by himself.
Yu Jiatang watched him getting closer and closer to the door. When the great monk stretched his hand towards the door, all kinds of ghost movies that he had watched suddenly popped up in his mind, and he immediately stood up from the haystack, He rushed to the side of the great monk, staring at the door full of vigilance.
Duan Jingxuan rubbed Hei Bao's forehead. Before Hei Bao always said that he was afraid of the dark, he still didn't believe it, but now he believed it. It was just opening a door, and his nervous hair stood up.
"Lianhua, the guests outside the door are not malicious." Duan Jingxuan said helplessly, looking at the black panther who was holding on to his cassock and refused to let him open the door.
Yu Jiatang thought, that means you haven't seen a ghost movie.
It won't be so calm if you look at it.
Yu Jiatang has already imagined the countless scary scenes that will appear after opening the door, including the non-human being knocking on the door.
And he was thinking about what to do in the face of danger to look a little aggressive, and a story like "the handsome leopard saves the monk" can be written into a story by those scholars in minutes.
... In fact, it is useless to think too much about it.
"This benefactor, what's the hurry?" Duan Jingxuan looked down at the visitor in front of him.
The black panther looked solemn, but in fact he was already in a daze.
"Ga—" The big white goose knocking on the door in the middle of the night flapped its wings.
Black Panther said he didn't understand.
The big white goose looked up and down the black guy in front of him, and then at his own white and beautiful goose feathers, with a little sympathy in his eyes.
"Ga—" It's so pitiful, it's so dark, how did it grow so big.
The panther is still in the dark, and doesn't know that he is being sympathized by a goose.
Duan Jingxuan understood the cry of the big goose, he recited a Buddhist name, and replied: "The poor monk thanked the noble master for his kindness, but it is too late, Lianhua is lethargic and needs to rest, it is really inconvenient to visit the residence."
The big white goose screamed again, as if sighing, waved its wings at them again, and swaggered away.
Yu Jiatang looked at its back with complicated emotions that were hard to describe.
He knew that the shit-shoveling officer was the diamond VIP among the monks, and he was so awesome, but he didn't expect that he could even understand the words of the goose!
You must know that as an animal, Yu Jiatang knows a little bit of leopard language, and has not mastered a few foreign languages so far. Unless there are people on Lingfo Mountain who can speak human words directly like Baisong, he still can't understand them. However, those who can speak out their words, if they are not of a special race, then they are big monsters who have practiced for many years.
"Great monk, that stupid goose...not the benefactor, who is its owner? Why did you invite us over in the middle of the night?" After Yu Jiatang lay down, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
Duan Jingxuan took the black panther into his arms, and there was a bit of a smile in his usual Gujing Wubo eyes: "Are you sure you want to know?"
Yu Jiatang felt that the monk's tone was not good, but he couldn't be so cowardly. He turned around, curled his paws slightly, and hammered the monk's strong chest: "Hurry up, do you want to kill the leopard?"
"Didn't we pass by the mansion of a rich family surnamed Li when we came to this temple? The big white goose was raised by the owner of the Li family. Today is the 400th anniversary of the death of the owner of the Li family, and he said he invited us to visit the mansion. Going to dinner..."
Before he finished speaking, Yu Jiatang paused: "Wait, wait, I understand that big white goose is also mature. I have seen it like this a lot in Lingfo Mountain. Its owner is not an ordinary person. It lived to four hundred I can also imagine what happened to the 'death day', did I hear it wrong?" Death day? What the hell
Duan Jingxuan met the eyes of Black Panther who refused to accept, and showed a Buddha-like holy smile: "Yes, it is what you think, the master of the Li family has not lived for 400 years, but died for 400 years, today is his death day .”
Yu Jiatang: "..."
"Don't worry, when we passed by Li's house during the day, although there was a lot of ghosts inside, there was no resentment. He sent that goose here, in fact, it was just to test my attitude."
Hearing his explanation, Yu Jiatang cheered up the whole leopard, as if... it's not that scary, isn't the natural enemy of ghosts monks and Taoist priests, and he didn't blow the name "Ling Buddha" of shit shoveler himself , in Lingfo Mountain, no matter how evil and crazy a big monster who has practiced for thousands of years would dare to go crazy on the head of the great monk.
"Then Li Sibai is afraid that you will accept him?" Yu Jiatang felt that it was not polite to call the other party "ghost" directly. The owner of the house is "Li Sibai".
"Almost. Don't worry, as long as he doesn't do evil, he's a ghost, and there's no reason to let him "die" again."
Yu Jiatang looked at him with a little joy. These reasonable words made him feel that his mission in this world was very promising.
In his eyes before, Duan Jingxuan, apart from needing a certain amount of food and sleep, had already transcended ordinary people. In his heart, he only had Buddha in his eyes, and his whole body was radiating "Buddha light".
Affected by some TV dramas and movies, Yu Jiatang always thinks that some monks and Taoists with advanced cultivation base hate monsters and ghosts to the point of a kind of snake spirit disease. in the name of.
When Yu Jiatang was allowed to eat meat by the great monk, he had a feeling that he might have met a monk owner with a strange painting style.
Facts have proved that his shit-shoveling officer is really pure and unpretentious.
Yu Jiatang was so sleepy from the big white goose's visit at night, he couldn't sleep, and he wouldn't let the monk sleep, and kept asking him about that Li Sibai beside him.
"He has no grievances, and he celebrates his death every year. Did he die? Was he a good person when he was alive?"
"You said that if we really went to visit Li's house tomorrow, would it scare Li Sibai to tears?"
"I've made friends with so many monsters, and I'm not short of a ghost. Why don't we meet him tomorrow?"
Duan Jingxuan was helplessly questioned by his repeated questions, so he had to tell him the truth: "These kind of lonely ghosts who cannot enter the underworld reincarnation are afraid of monks and priests, but they are even more afraid of black cats."
"I heard that there is a black cat that can devour ten thousand ghosts under Yan Jun in the underworld. The black cat in Yangjian is also the nemesis of lonely ghosts. Even ghosts will not get close to the black cat easily. You are not an ordinary black cat, are you? Black Panther, an old ghost like the master of the Li family, as long as he has never done anything evil, can intercede with monks and priests, but not necessarily when he meets a real psychic black cat."
"They are natural enemies." The relationship between eating and being eaten.
"So he may be more afraid of you than me. He came to test my attitude, but he killed two birds with one stone. After all, I am your owner."
Yu Jiatang was stunned for a moment when he heard it. When the great monk explained this, he suddenly felt that he was overpowered, and that he had something to do with Yan Jun of the underworld, and that was the real god of death.
"And then? Continue." Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Yu Jiatang pushed him again.
Duan Jingxuan saw that he kept telling ghost stories tonight, so it was impossible to fall asleep, so he continued: "I have never seen the master of the Li family show up, but I have seen his story in an ancient book in the Sutra Pavilion of the ancient temple. .”
"In the 23rd year of the Yun Dynasty, the Li family in Xuzhou had a son named Jin. He was born intelligent and beautiful. Later, he made friends with Chang Sheng. The two were classmates, and they had a good relationship. Huang Sheng was good at painting, and Chang was Jin. painting..."
Just as Duan Jingxuan spoke, he saw that the black panther in front of him seemed to be sleepy.
Then he lowered his voice gradually, and after the black panther snored, he stopped, looked at it for a while, and then fell asleep.
The next day, Duan Jingxuan was woken up by being licked by the stinging leopard tongue in the humid tropics.
He took a look outside the temple, and sure enough, it was not yet dawn, and the black panther must still be asleep at this time.
"Why did you wake up so early today?"
Yu Jiatang didn't want to say that he woke up after dreaming about those ghost movies he had seen before, so he made up a reason and said, "Didn't I want to get up early and read the scriptures, and then go to alms with you?"
Duan Jingxuan just listened to such words.
It was inconvenient to go out and wash up, so they didn't pay much attention to it. After borrowing water from a nearby house for a simple wash, Duan Jingxuan took the black panther out to buy breakfast.
Duan Jingxuan went to the restaurant and ordered a vegetarian meal, and ordered a table of meat dishes for Hei Bao, and each person and leopard ate in the private dining room upstairs.
Yu Jiatang asked him while eating: "Great monk, didn't you tell me the story of Li Sibai's life last night? Why can't I remember the ending? Did you finish the story?"
Just as Duan Jingxuan was about to answer, he saw a well-dressed old man next to him arguing with the waiter who was going to check out.
"Guest officer, we don't accept credit here. You said you had bad luck and lost money, but you ordered such a large table, and you can't eat it for nothing?"
"Little brother, I am the second master of the Yang family in Xuzhou. You can find out after you inquire. I will make a written receipt for you. You only need to ask your shopkeeper to send someone to the Yang family to collect the meal money. You have eaten and paid the bill like this."
The clerk in the shop should be a newcomer, and he has never seen this Master Yang Er before. Although he has a good attitude, he obviously doesn't believe what this Master Yang Er says.
Both Yu Jiatang and Duan Jingxuan are not nosy. Yu Jiatang glanced over there and continued to eat. Just after taking two bites, he felt that the surrounding atmosphere seemed a bit wrong.
As soon as he looked up, he saw the second master Yang coming over with a smile. Yu Jiatang's eyes were piercing, and he knew what this girl wanted to do at a glance. He immediately jumped off the table, stood in front of the monk, and roared.
"Want to borrow money? No." The great monk has already spent a lot of money to support him, okay
Master Yang Er stopped hesitantly not far away, "This master, Yang has no malicious intentions, it is..."
Duan Jingxuan recited a Buddha's mantra, "Benefactor, this black panther raised by the poor monk is stubborn by nature, don't bother with it, it's just that it doesn't like outsiders to approach when it's eating..."
Duan Jingxuan emphasized the pronunciation of the word "poor monk".
Yu Jiatang thought to himself, everyone has said that he is a "poor monk", this person does not seem to be ignorant, he should not...
"It turned out to be like this." Master Yang Er apologized repeatedly, and after introducing himself, he said, "I wonder if the master can lend some money to Mr. Yang? If you don't trust Mr. Yang, you can go back with me when the time comes..."
Yu Jiatang was shocked by the other party's face, and immediately shouted: "No loan, no loan." However, the other party could not understand.
Duan Jingxuan said calmly: "Benefactor Yang, no one can borrow your money. It is the right way to pay off your 'debt' earlier."
