How to Cross Over into Maitreya

Chapter 21: Jiang Lianfu

Views:

After spending so long with Yan Chixia, Maitreya knew Feijian in his heart. Combined with the degree of wounds separated from the corpse of the dead, and the statement of the person in the tea house, this should be someone who killed someone with a Feijian, but What is the purpose of killing people in public like this

Maitreya learned the art of sword making with Yan Chixia. Naturally, he knew that the art of sword making was not only expensive, and it was extremely difficult for a person without a foundation to cultivate. At the end of the practice, he could only solve himself by the sword. The most important thing is to cultivate. After that, he could not leave the world.

If you want to get mixed up in the world, you must constrain. Therefore, swordsmiths rarely provoke right and wrong in public. Even if there is a contradiction, it is still hanging and hidden. Those who want to make a blindfold will not make trouble in public. There must be a reason for such public murder!

"Monk, what can you see?" The man in brocade over there was a little impatient.

"Wait a little longer, shopkeeper, what can this deceased leave behind?" Maitreya looked at the situation and couldn't answer. Instead, he asked the owner of the tea house who had witnessed the killing.

"Leave only one donkey, and a few sheep, that's all, Master, you can be the master for us!" The owner of the tea house looked at the short-haired monk willing to come forward, and quickly grabbed the life-saving straw.

"Please wait a second or two, and wait for the little monk to see." Maitreya saw the shopkeeper in a hurry, and after comforting him for a while, he walked to the side and saw the livestock being led by a man, only to see a black donkey and seven lightly dirty goats. , These donkeys and sheep seem to have no idea that the owner is dead, and they just stood there blankly.

"Excuse me, do these donkeys and sheep call?" Maitreya looked at the dull black donkey and goat, who were neither calling nor moving, and couldn't help asking the shopkeeper's house next to him.

"Nothing." The shop owner was suffering from a life lawsuit. When asked by Maitreya, he looked at the black donkey and goat for a moment, and then shook his head slightly.

"Can there be a compartment here?" Maitreya asked the owner again.

"Yes, the place where I stack firewood is closed." The owner pointed to the hut on the other side of the tea house.

Looking at the place separating his eyes and ears, Maitreya put down his Zen stick, and asked for a goat to pass, and asked the man in Jinyi to come alone, and asked for a sharp knife to enter the wood-burning room.

The man in Jinyi saw that Maitreya was mysterious, so he had to enter it with two guards, but the ensuing scene made him stare. He saw Maitreya take the goat into the hut in the compartment. Stabbed a sharp knife into the sheep's head slightly and swiped it lightly, and the whole sheepskin fell down. After removing it, there was no flesh and blood of the fascia, but a smooth and stupid child.

"This is a livestock farmer, also called Daxuba. It's a side door. The person outside should be a personal tooth. As for the person who killed him, he should be a righteous swordsman." Maitreya looked at the red fruit under the sheepskin. Describing a stupid child, he nodded to the man with wide-eyed eyes and said that when he followed Yan Chixia to steal, he had seen someone steal a child and a girl by making livestock.

"Quickly, go and bring the donkey and goat in. Is there a hidden danger for this child?" The man in Jinyi was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, let his hand go down to bring the remaining black donkey and goats, and saw the sheep under the sheepskin. The child's eyes were dull, and he couldn't help but ask.

"It's a matter of course, it's just that I'm lost. It's best to let him go to sleep at this time, so as not to wake up and noisy." Maitreya reached out and touched the child's head, let him fall asleep, and asked someone to hug him out.

Waiting to take the sleeping child out, someone carried the other black donkey goats in. Maitreya untied the remaining six goats one by one. They were all male children who looked upright. As for the last black donkey, he was wearing Jinyi. The man and the others drove out, and after untying the donkey skin, they saw that the underside of the donkey skin was really the head of a young woman.

Maitreya only slashed the donkey skin to reveal the female head, then walked out of the hut and asked the woman to give the woman in the donkey coat the clothes she had prepared, and at the same time discussed with the man in brocade clothes.

All the misunderstandings were resolved, and the man in Jinyi stopped grabbing the teahouse and apologized to Maitreya. He called himself Jiang Lianfu and was the new prefect of Jinling.

Maitreya was a confused official. Maitreya didn’t want to talk to Jiang Lianfu. He only made a few polite words. He took back the stick and planned to leave. But he didn’t want this Jiang Lianfu to hand over the tea house affairs to his underlings, and then lead someone to walk with him. The opening is almost:

"Master Zimi is here to Jinling, but I also went to join the Cihang Fa conference?"

"I won't attend the Fa conference." Maitreya curled his lips while looking at Jiang Lianfu who was very flattering.

"Not attending the Fa conference? What did Master Zimi come here to do?" Jiang Lianfu's expression was slightly stunned.

"Here's to find friends." Maitreya said truthfully, as far as the jailer said, Ning Caichen's group of prisoners should have been sent to the Cihang Hall.

"Looking for a friend? But a fairy friend!" Jiang Lianfu's eyes shone slightly.

"No, it's a scholar. He is helpless, his family is only around, and his personality is very pedantic, but he hasn't married yet, so Wu Te went to ferry him." Maitreya could see what Jiang Lianfu's thoughts were at a glance.

"Ah?" Listening to Maitreya's words, Jiang Lianfu couldn't help but open his mouth, and his feet were stuck in place, almost causing the subordinates behind him to bump.

"What's the matter?" Maitreya deliberately asked a few words while looking at Jiang Lian who was stunned.

"Does the little master's magical technique only be passed on to the virgin body?" Jiang Lianfu asked after he was taken aback.

"Of course not, but if you want to learn Taoism and immortality, you need to abandon your name and desire, and abandon your family and children."

"... It's inhumane." Jiang Lianfu was stunned for a long time, before suffocating a word.

"Throughout the ages, people who seek immortality on the ropeway are like crucian carp who cross the river and become immortal and attain Taoism?" Maitreya asked instead, making Jiang Lianfuna unable to speak, but he felt that it was natural that if becoming immortal was so easy, I am afraid it is now. It is the gods and Buddhas walking all over the ground, and the immortals are inferior to the dogs.

Let Jiang Lianfu think about it, Maitreya just walked silently, followed him for a long time, and then heard a faint Sanskrit singing in his ears.

"It's the main hall of Cihang coming, hey, little master, didn't you say you didn't come to attend the Fa conference?" Jiang Lianfu returned to his senses and looked at Maitreya beside him. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised. He didn't attend the Fa conference and came here. For what

"The person I'm looking for should be here!" Maitreya looked at Jiang Lianfu with a smile, and he heard a deep evil in the distance from the Sanskrit singing.

"Ah? Who is the friend that the little master is looking for?" Jiang Lianfu was a little surprised. It wasn't that he was looking for a scholar. How did he find the monk at the Fa conference? Could it be that the scholar also came to attend the Fa conference

"His surname is Ning Ming Caichen, and he is a poor scholar. Not long ago, Zhou Abing was arrested by the county government as a thief and came here." Maitreya explained the reason for Jiang Lianfu.

"How could it be like this..." Jiang Lianfu couldn't help but stare as he listened to Maitreya's words.
