This unpleasant episode passed in the blink of an eye. The poetry meeting was very lively. It was very happy with poetry and wine and meat. Pei Ziyun also ate a lot. After having a good meal and wine, he got acquainted with the students in the venue. Now he is present There are more than a dozen of them, all of whom are children.
Yang Fan, the student who led everyone up from downstairs, came from an ordinary family, but he was apprenticed to the famous scholar "Zheng Bo" in the city. Because of his good talent and learning, he was often praised by the teacher, and he had a lot of reputation. He was also the organizer of this poetry meeting. .
There is also the one just now who talks about Taoists who should follow strict rules and disciplines. His name is Zhu Hao. He is from the Neo-Confucian school of this dynasty. He is very rigid in doing things. However, his talent and learning are pretty good, but he always likes to say things that uphold the principles of nature and destroy human desires. It makes people a little unhappy.
There was also Tang Zhen, an old acquaintance, among them. A group of people were drinking and talking about poetry, when they heard a sigh from the audience.
At this time, everyone was enjoying themselves, but why did some people sigh? They all looked around and saw Zhang Jieyu, who was the center of attention in the venue, sighing just now.
Everyone couldn't help but feel surprised. Zhu Hao glanced at everyone, stepped forward and bowed: "Why did Brother Zhang suddenly sigh with sadness?"
Pei Ziyun also looked up and saw the jade jade frowning, looking a little sad, and said: "Hey, after the government examination, I have been waiting for the results for the past two days, and I am a little anxious. I feel that I have done pretty well in the examination, and I feel that There are so many talented people in the government examination, but it’s not my turn, or I accidentally made some mistakes and made a taboo, so I failed the government examination. I can’t help but feel depressed, even if I drink, I can’t taste the taste.”
This is the truth. It is said that almost all the children have this mood. They suddenly felt pity and said to Zhang Jieyu: "Brother Zhang, these words are in my heart, and I am not the same!"
"Yes, I am anxious and anxious, unable to write articles or read books."
Pei Ziyun coughed. Although he was confident, he was also a little worried. It didn't count until the results were released. This was related to his fate and future. He had been restless for the past two days and couldn't do anything.
Zhang Jieyu's words spoke to the minds of the students present. Many students present felt that they had good literary talents and had confidence. However, they had already exhausted their affairs and did not know their destiny, so they were sad.
For a time, there were sighs in the venue.
Listening to this guilty sigh, Zhang Jieyu seemed to realize that he shouldn't have said this. He poured a glass of wine with a guilty look on his face, stood up, and said to everyone: "Hey, it's all my fault. Just now I was lonely after drinking, so I couldn't help but say these words, which spoiled everyone's mood. I will punish myself with three drinks as punishment."
After saying that, they drank one cup. During the second cup, Yang Fan, who was holding the poetry meeting, stretched out a hand, held down Zhang Jieyu's second cup of wine, and said seriously: "Brother Zhang knows that he has ruined our Yaxing, how can he do it?" It’s so easy to do something so easy, but at least I have to write a poem and drink some wine, so that I can liven up the fun, don’t you think so?”
Seeing this, all the students shouted loudly: "That's right."
Zhang Jieyu, with a somewhat troubled expression on his face, said, "Brother Yang, I love traveling the most. I can only write poems when I see the scenery. I can't stay inside."
"If you really want me to drink and compose poems to apologize, we will go hiking all the way. There is Yinlong Temple outside the city. The scenery is beautiful, and the vegetarian banquet is one of a kind."
"When we get there, not only me but also everyone will sing hymns. Wouldn't it be great?"
"If it's late, you can stay in the temple for the night."
The scenery of Yinlong Temple and the vegetarian banquet were both unique. Everyone immediately responded, and one person stood up and said: "It's absolutely true. When spring comes for an outing, couples visit the temple. It's just that the poems can be written later. Brother Zhang has to drink first. , let’s go hiking together later.”
"Yes, that's how it should be!"
After hearing this, Yang Fan stopped blocking him.
After hearing about the tour, Pei Yun began to think about going back, but when he heard the name of the temple, he felt a little dazed. Ye Suer had been to this temple outside the county city and obtained a prayer talisman for himself.
You know, coming from the county town, it would take a day to return by carriage. She kept this talisman and wanted to fulfill her wish. Since she stopped by, she might as well pay it forward in advance to avoid Ye Suer and her having to travel all the way to the county town. Come here, after all, the Black Wind Bandits have not been eliminated, so it is not safe...
As for the repayment of the wish, it is just some incense money. Ordinary people can spend ten cents or a hundred cents, but one or two taels of silver can make the difference.
Everyone was having a good time with wine and food. They were talking about the outing and the temple could stay overnight. No one had any objections. More than ten people went out in large numbers. However, everyone smelled of alcohol and they were all students, so they were not offended. A few passers-by looked sideways, but they had some enlightenment when they thought that the ranking was about to start.
Along the way, there are green trees and fragrant flowers. Some flowers and plants are in full bloom along the roadside. Some bees are flying on the flowers. Occasionally, two butterflies have friction and fight each other along the way.
Not far from the county town, there is Yinlong Temple.
The sky was a little dark, but when I looked towards the temple, I saw that the Yinlong Temple was hidden in a forest, with pink walls hidden in the green shade. Looking closer, I saw that the temple looked very solemn. The plaque on the temple said There are three big gold characters "Yinlong Temple" on it.
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "I have heard for a long time that Yinlong Temple is a famous jungle in Fucheng. The abbot has strict rules and the monks are very strict in observing the rules. I finally saw it today."
When we arrived again, we saw that the door was paved with red glazed tiles and connected to the yellow wall. After entering the door, we saw the main hall. The main hall was very majestic. After entering the door, a three-person tall Buddha stood in the center of the hall. There are some Bodhisattva statues standing on the side, and there is a merit box in front of the Buddha statue. A monk with a scar on his head is standing aside, holding tens in both hands, and reciting the Buddha's name.
At this moment, there were several bullock carts parked in front, and several women and girls were making offerings to the Buddha. Pei Ziyun took a look and saw that these women were all slim and beautiful. He looked at the students who came. , but pursed his lips and smiled.
"Although the atmosphere in this world is still relatively open, is it a bit too much?" Pei Ziyun thought to himself. At this time, Zhang Jieyu walked over, took out a piece of silver, and placed it on the merit box. At this time, the monk smiled slightly. He opened his eyes and saw that it was an ingot of silver. He couldn't help but be overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and weighed it. There were ten taels in weight. He couldn't help but be overjoyed: "It turns out it's a distinguished guest."
Then a young novice monk was called to guide the way. Seeing the monk's appearance, all the students laughed dumbly.
The novice led everyone to visit the temple and introduced them one by one. At this time, Pei Ziyun felt a little anxious and asked the novice where the hut was. , the little novice monk said: "Go back and turn right."
Pei Ziyun thanked the young novice and went to the hut. When he entered the hut, he saw several rooms. Just as he squatted down, two or three monks came in.
After a while, there was a voice. It sounded like it was a monk with a loud voice. At this moment, he lowered his voice and chatted with the remaining monks. At first, he could only listen faintly: "Beautiful woman, the incense is very good."
A few rooms away, the voice was lowered again, and Pei Ziyun felt something was wrong.
At this time, another voice was heard. This voice was not suppressed. Pei Ziyun heard it clearly at this time: "Brother, a few days ago, I saw a girl. She was so beautiful. She was only sixteen or seventeen years old at most. Her embryo was... She has long hair, and her clothes are not rich and noble, and they are not as good as those beautiful women. It’s a pity that we just saw her, and before she could take a good look, the girl hurriedly asked for the prayer charm and left without staying overnight!”
"Did you go away after asking for a prayer talisman? Next time I see this girl coming to fulfill her wish, junior brother said that she would have to stay in the temple for one night to make her wish more sincere. When the time comes..." At this point, the monk smiled. stand up.
Pei Ziyun's heart sank when he heard this. There was something wrong with this temple. At this moment, he looked sideways and saw only three monks. One of them saw a monk - he was a head taller than an ordinary person. His face was as black as bronze, his forehead, cheekbones, His nose was higher than ordinary people's, and his muscles were taut and bulging, and he was horrified.
Looking away, the monk seemed to be aware of it. Looking back, Pei Ziyun quickly withdrew his gaze and said in his heart: "This monk is different from the Black Wind Bandit. He has martial arts skills."
The poor in literature and rich in martial arts, no martial arts can be done without wine and meat. Shaolin monks are allowed to eat meat. Looking at the size of the Yinlong Temple, there must be no shortage of this money.
Hearing a few people leaving outside, he hurried out of the toilet. As soon as he went out, a gust of wind passed by, carrying raindrops. He squinted at the drizzle and actually shivered. He just thought: "Such an inside story in Yinlong Temple, But we didn’t get wind of it, which is incredible.”
"And Zhang Jieyu also proposed to come here. He is a disciple of the Holy Prison Sect. I don't know much about this Holy Prison Sect, but I also know that it has the nickname of the Demon Sect. Generally speaking, it is to enter Taoism through emotion, playing with flowers - this says It sounds nice, but it is actually the work of flower pickers, the Three Peaks Taoist method of picking yin and replenishing yang, and there are also frequent concubinage incidents inside, and I don’t know how many women have been ruined."
"The incident happened ten years later in the previous life, and my house was confiscated by the government. I didn't hear anything about Yinlong Temple. Or was it a big scandal, so I covered it up?"
Pei Ziyun was walking in the corridor, looking for Tong Sheng. He said nothing for a while, but soon he heard voices and found that everyone was in a side hall. He felt relieved and was ready to leave if he found an opportunity.
Tang Zhen saw Pei Ziyun and smiled: "You have been here for a long time, and the monks have prepared a vegetarian feast. It is said that although this vegetarian feast is vegetarian, it tastes like meat and is particularly fragrant."
Pei Ziyun sneered and thought to himself: "It's not like adding broth. This is a consistent trick of vegetarian banquets in ancient and modern times."
Still wanting to talk, he saw Zhang Jieyu praising a picture of Guanyin. Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Let me take a look!"
As he said that, he reached out to take it, but he didn't know what he touched. He just heard a rattling sound, and a Guanyin statue suddenly moved away. A big hole appeared, and under the hole was the basement.
At this time, there were several great monks, all naked, holding a few women in their arms. These women looked familiar, but they were the women who had offered incense not long ago, and most of them had taken off their outer clothes.
Seeing this scene, Pei Ziyun was startled and was about to run away. He saw the monk in the merit box in the main hall who happened to order someone to bring the banquet. When he saw it, his color changed. As soon as he came in, he closed the door.
"It's been discovered!" Several great monks in the cave rushed over when they saw light coming in and more than a dozen scholars outside.
"It's not good, we've fallen into a den of thieves." Tang Zhen was shocked.
Hearing the sound, more than a dozen monks popped up from the cave. The leader was the bronze monk they saw just now. They couldn't help but laugh ferociously: "I said there was no movement. It turned out that a scholar broke in."
"You could have had a vegetarian feast, but now you have to have a beheading feast."
When Pei Ziyun saw the monk in the merit box, he touched his arms. There was a dagger hidden there, but there was no Taoist teaching and no sword. He was still thinking about it when he saw more than ten monks holding knives coming out of the basement. He couldn't help but My heart felt chilly.
"It's broken. I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."
Just listen to the bronze monk shout: "Detain all these scholars."
