The sound of Shu Qing's long breathing was missing from his ears, and Ji Changye tossed and turned for most of the night without falling asleep. You Shu occupied a large bed, and stretched her hands and feet as she wanted. Naturally, she slept soundly, her fair skin glowed a healthy blush, and she looked in good spirits.
"Did you sleep well last night?" Ji Changye asked casually.
"I slept well, the bed is big, and I can roll around." You Shu nodded and stuffed mushroom dumplings into her mouth.
Ji Changye let out an "um", and her already gloomy complexion became more and more ugly, and tentatively said, "Since you slept well, you will have to sleep alone in the future, can you get used to it?"
Youshu hesitated for a moment, and said indifferently, "I didn't feel the freshness for a while. After a few days, the freshness subsides, and I will definitely not get used to it. Can I come back to accompany the master every few days?" Don't let him climb the bed, what should I do? So you can't talk to death, you have to leave some room for yourself.
Ji Changye's gloomy complexion was slightly relieved, his clenched brows loosened a little, and the corners of his lips turned up to reveal a smile, "I'm still playing wild with you, and I've been thrown into the clouds long ago."
"I won't forget my master." Youshu swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded seriously. The grace of saving life is naturally unforgettable.
Ji Changye was satisfied with this, tapped his forehead with chopsticks, and said with a smile, "You have a conscience, okay, let's eat quickly." The suffocation that had accumulated all night finally dissipated, and he frequently gave the boy a clip. I also drank two bowls of porridge myself.
As soon as the breakfast was finished, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside the courtyard, accompanied by a loud noise, as if many people poured into the Bodhi Temple. Ji Changye was holding the handkerchief and wiping your mouth for Youshu. He frowned slightly when he heard the movement, and instructed, "But Master Xuanming is doing something? Da, Er, go out and have a look."
The two took their orders and left, and after a while they brought the exact news, "Back to the master, it is indeed the East Court that is doing things, Wang Xiangqian and Mrs. Wang are here, Xiao Guifei's mother's house, the Prince's Mansion, the Duke's Mansion, and the Lin Mansion. , Fangfu... all sent people to watch."
Youshu's eyes lit up, and she secretly pulled the hem of her master's clothes, silently expressing her wish to go to the theatre. The three little ghosts stood outside the courtyard and waved at him, their expressions also very urgent.
Once he was with the teenager, Ji Changye naturally forgot the thought of alienating him. After taking care of a person for ten years in a row, this feeling has already become a part of him. It's just that he has never felt the pain of forcibly separating a part of himself.
He habitually held the boy's wrist and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's join in the fun." As he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the monk knocking on the wooden fish, and he shook his head and sighed, "Wang Tianyou is not worth saving, Xuan Ming. The master will surely regret it."
Youshu shook his arm and asked, "Master, do you know something?" He also expected that Master Xuanming would regret it, and he regretted it extremely.
"The Buddha said that you can't say it." Ji Changye put his index finger on the boy's soft lips, smiling mysteriously.
Youshu pouted, looking like she was kissing the finger. Ji Changye immediately retracted his fingertips, put them in his sleeves and rubbed them repeatedly.
When the two came to the Mahavira Hall, they saw Wang Tianyou wearing a cassock and sitting on a red copper lotus pedestal, with red Sanskrit written on his exposed skin. He seemed to be a little uneasy, and was twisting his butt to move, a pair of bloodshot eyes scanning the crowd. All the people he saw felt as if a sticky and cold poisonous snake was swimming around, and their hairs stood on end.
"It's really evil, isn't it? Wang Gongzi is not like this on weekdays." I don't know who muttered, and immediately attracted many echoes.
The Wang family was very satisfied when they heard this. Even Master Xuanming said that his family Tianyou had fallen for evil, and the previous frivolous behavior of Anhua County Master could be taken away, and his daughter's marriage was also saved.
The officials of the Prince’s Mansion were a little unbelievable at first, but after watching it for a long time, they also showed a horrified look, thinking that this appearance is 100% evil, and the Anhua County Master also has to ask the monk to read the scriptures for a few days, and investigate the responsible person. The heart has faded.
Master Xuanming and the monks sat around the lotus pedestal, with a wooden fish in front of them. The sun was rising and the sun was shining, and Wang Tianyou in the center of the altar gradually became quiet. Only then did Master Xuanming open his eyes and recite the scriptures while tapping on the wooden fish.
After the first passage of scriptures, the rest of the monks slowly joined in, and the curling Sanskrit sounds echoed over the temple, which was refreshing and awe-inspiring. People from all walks of life who came to watch quickly found an open space and knelt down, either closing their eyes and praying, or reciting a few words, thinking that under the illumination of the vast Buddha Dharma, Wang Tianyou would definitely be able to regain his senses.
But everyone got it wrong. Not only did Wang Tianyou not regain his sanity, but instead, he was irritated by the continuous Sanskrit sounds. He began to move frequently, with his legs stretched out straight, hanging on the edge of the lotus dais, and wiping the Sanskrit words on his skin with both hands, looking extremely impatient.
You Shu and the master were sitting on the sidelines in the farthest corner. The three little ghosts were afraid of Ji Changye and had to stand far away.
"Buddhism can't transform him anymore." Ji Changye shook his head and sneered, then looked at the young man beside him again, his tone was full of tenderness and pride, "It's still the most well-behaved in my family. The Wang family will surely regret it in the future."
"I don't care about their remorse, it's enough for me to have a master." You Shu flattered at the right time.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Ji Changye would have laughed out loud. He hadn't heard such sweet words for a long time, and for a while he felt endless aftertastes.
The two hid in the corner and whispered, but an accident happened on the altar. Wang Tianyou's eyes were getting redder and his face was getting darker, he wiped off the Sanskrit words on his body and stood up, jumping and cursing, "Let go of me, son of a bitch, how dare you lock me up! Daddy, cut these bald donkeys, cut them all!"
It turned out that in order to prevent him from being enchanted in the ritual, Xuanming had people tied two iron chains around his ankles and tied them to the base of the lotus platform. He can only move between square inches now, like a wounded trapped beast.
Wang Xiangqian was embarrassed by his son's arrogant words, and he frequently snorted to everyone, but the monks remained indifferent and continued to chant the sutras.
"This ghost is so powerful that it can't even hold back the "Sutra of Conquering Demons"!" I don't know who sighed.
"Yes, yes, twenty years ago, I saw Master Xuanming exorcise the eldest princess with my own eyes. I heard that it was still a ghost king, but it was not attached to the prince. It was only a quarter of an hour after reading the scriptures. It turned into smoke and dissipated." Someone whispered.
"How on earth did you say he recruited this ghost?"
"Who knows. I'm just afraid that even Master Xuan Ming can't deal with him, but it will affect us."
Saying this, everyone was timid and looked around, trying to find a space to sneak out. At this moment, Master Xuanming opened his eyes, walked to the lotus platform, put the purple-gold staff on Wang Tianyou's forehead, and chanted the mantra softly. This wand is the treasure of the temple, and it can annihilate all the demons and monsters in the world. Its owners are all monks. However, in the past, no one has ever used it to exorcise evil spirits, because it is so powerful that it hurts the world.
Therefore, such rumors spread among the people - in front of the Zijin Staff, even the King of Hell would give way.
But now, Wang Tianyou, who was held by the staff, not only did not tremble with fear, but regained his sanity, but became even more irritable. He pushed Master Xuanming away and yelled loudly, "Old bald donkey, get out of my way. You like to recite sutras, right? Okay, let the little novice come up and read it to Laozi, the younger and more tender the better. My favorite, I can't get tired of listening to it for ten days and eight days. By the way, where is Lao Tzu's favorite little novice? Find him quickly, Chang Fu, Chang Fu, go and bring him, he is under my bed, use It's ice cubes."
Chang Fu, Wang Tianyou's servant, was also in the crowd at the moment. Hearing this, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and cried, "Young master, you are a demon, where is there a little novice."
The crowd in the audience thought that Wang Tianyou was being filmed talking nonsense, but Master Xuanming and all the monks stopped chanting and looked at him with horror and disbelief.
"You just said little novice, what little novice?" Master Xuanming's voice trembled slightly. The disciples sitting around the altar also stood up one after another with terrifying expressions.
Ji Changye, who was hidden behind others, shook his head and sighed, "Master asked me to find his missing disciple yesterday, but it turned out to have been poisoned." On his face, he was pitiful, but in fact, the moment Xuanming spoke, he had already guessed how the little novice would end. , and who is the culprit, but in order to completely overthrow Wang Xianggan, it has been kept secret. In order to ensure the safety of Shu Shu and to break the balance of all parties, he has been sending people to keep an eye on the Wang family. Naturally, he knows the temperament and every move of the Wang family. At present, the outbreak of the incident is somewhat different from his original plan, but the effect is better.
Youshu is also someone who knows the inside story, so she couldn't help but look back at the little novice.
The little novice floated to Master Xuanming's side, calling out to Master again and again, shedding two lines of blood and tears as he called. But except for the young man, no one in the audience could see this tragic scene.
Master Xuanming was still questioning Wang Tianyou, but in exchange for the ruthless ridicule of the other party, "Little novice is your good disciple Miaochen, I have tasted his taste on the first day I came here. It is worthy of being a closed disciple of Master Xuanming. , it really has fine skin and tender meat, and there is a sweetness mixed with sandalwood and milk in the mouth, hahahaha..."
Wang Tianyou raised his arms and laughed wildly, but the faces of the Wang family were ashen. Wang Xianggan waved his hand slightly, and several guards squeezed out of the crowd and slipped across the courtyard to the east, wanting to check it out first. Fortunately, Master Xuanming recovered early and scolded him sharply, "Everyone is standing in place and not allowed to move! Especially the Wang family!" His eyes were burning, his face was ashen, and it was obvious that he was on the verge of losing control.
Soon dozens of warrior monks surrounded the Wang family, and several more monks hurried toward the backyard.
Apart from Wang Tianyou's harsh laughter, there was no sound at all. The monks of the Bodhi Temple slowly stood in one place, staring at everyone in the Wang family, and the situation was about to break out. Ji Changye was very leisurely, pulled the boy into his arms and hugged him tightly, and patted his back soothingly.
