Chapter 621: There is no great virtue, but Dao Ji is the bad guy

After walking for a long time, we finally arrived at Liu Boqin's home. There were towering old trees next to several thatched huts and the road was filled with wild vines.

The wind and dust are cold in the surrounding valleys, and the weather on the cliffs is strange.

As I walked closer, I felt that "the fragrance of wild flowers is overwhelming me, and the green bamboos are lingering". It is indeed a good place.

Liu Boqin shouted, "Where are the men?"

As soon as he finished speaking, four or five fierce-looking men, dressed as servants and servants, came out.

He took the tiger carried by Liu Boqin and took it outside to skin and remove the meat for dinner.

Then an old woman and her young daughter-in-law heard the sound and left the main house.

Shi Zhongkui took one look and saw that the old woman and the young daughter-in-law were just like the four or five men just now, they were transformed from the land of the mountain god.

After thinking silently for a while, he quickly decided to see what this group of people wanted to do first.

Of course, part of the reason why he is so kind is also because of the mountain gods, who are everywhere in the world.

Even though the Mountain God and the Earth God are both the lowest level priests, you can make them obey orders with just one word, but sometimes having more people is also an advantage.

Moreover, there are actually many opportunities to use mountain gods and land. If you can win over them, it is better to win over them.

The mountain god who transformed into Liu Boqin's mother, daughter-in-law, and domestic servant, naturally treated Shi Zhongkui, the demon-suppressing governor, and the female relatives of the family with as much respect as possible.

The little daughter-in-law even showed off her cooking skills, which are far beyond the reach of a country girl from the mountains.

A tiger feast is cooked so that it is full of color, flavor and flavor, making people appetizing just by looking at it.

The so-called plain wine that Liu Boqin took out, and as soon as he drank it into his mouth, Shi Zhongkui knew that it was definitely not an ordinary water wine.

After tasting it carefully, it actually tastes like monkey wine.

Shi Zhongkui's eyes suddenly looked different when he looked at Liu Boqin.

I secretly thought that these mountain gods and earth people who were guarding Sun Wukong had already secretly had a tacit understanding with Sun Wukong in the past five hundred years, or even reached some agreement?

Just as he was about to give some hints and inquiries while eating, he heard the sound of chanting sutras from the side.

Liu Boqin and others looked back and saw Tang Monk standing by the table, reciting sutras with a calm look on his face.

He immediately pretended to be enlightened, and said to Tang Seng with a look of fear, "Elder, please forgive me, I forgot that the elder does not eat meat."

Tang Seng didn't look angry at all on his face, but he was already muttering in his heart.

However, Liu Boqin did not answer the question as Monk Tang expected, and said with an embarrassed expression, "Elder, my family has not been vegetarian for several generations. Even some bamboo shoots, some fungus, some dried vegetables, and some tofu are all from deer, tiger and leopard." fried.

Even those two pots and stoves are very greasy, what should I do?"

Tang Seng was actually hungry for a long time, but Shi Zhongkui was sitting nearby. If some gossip spread, his hard-earned reputation would be completely ruined.

They simply didn’t serve at the table and just chanted sutras on the side.

But you can just recite the sutra, the sound will not be quiet.

When people hear this, they feel that Tang Seng is deliberately reminding the host not to forget that there is a vegetarian monk here who has not yet eaten.

Shi Zhongkui knew what Tang Seng was thinking. Looking at the table of tiger meat feast with excellent aroma and excellent dishes, he directly ordered Sister You to bring out the snacks, fruits and good tea prepared by the maid.

However, he did not give it directly to Tang Seng. Instead, he asked the maid to hand it over to the old woman and his young wife.

Cooking for Monk Tang with your own hands is considered a kind of kindness.

Although it is not a meritorious deed, once Tang Monk awakens Jin Chanzi's memory, he will be able to form a good relationship with him.

In the future, if someone from the Western religion makes things difficult for him, he will have reason to ask Tang Seng to return the favor.

When Liu Boqin and others saw that Shi Zhongkui understood people's hearts so well, they were grateful and secretly thought that it was no wonder that the Demon-Conquering Commander-in-Chief had gained such a great reputation in just a few hundred years.

There are many immortals and gods who can subjugate demons. If you want to become famous, it depends on more than just your own ability.

More importantly, someone still has to take the initiative to help you become famous.

This requires you to be able to make friends.

After dinner, Liu Boqin's mother indeed mentioned the matter of saving her late husband.

Tang Monk is feeling unhappy. You drink wine and eat meat, and you are enjoying your meal. But Buddha can only drink some clear soup and little water, and can't even eat a pancake to fill his stomach.

Where are you willing to help?

But he, a helpless monk, wanted to stay here tonight, so how could he dare to refuse?

I had no choice but to clean my hands, burn some incense, and bow to the memorial tablet.

After reciting the divine mantra to purify the body and mind, he opened a volume of the Sutra of Savior of the Dead and began to recite it.

Probably because he was not sure whether it was useful or not, after Tang Seng finished reciting it, he felt that it was not safe. In other words, reciting a volume of sutras did not show any effort or merit.

Then he began to read several more volumes of scripture.

By the time he finished reading, it was already past midnight. This dedication and hard work really made it hard for people to fault it.

Early the next morning, Shi Zhongkui walked out of his tent on the edge of the cliff. Eight maids had already prepared toiletries and breakfast.

While eating, Second Sister You whispered, "Master, just now the maid reported that a dead soul entered the Taibao's house last night."

Shi Zhongkui nodded indifferently. He didn't live in a thatched hut. In addition to the inconvenience of bringing Second Sister You and Third Sister You, he was also worried that living close by would unintentionally ruin the plans of Liu Boqin and others.

When the maids prepared the horses, they saw Tang Monk with a confused look on his face. Under the eager eyes of Liu Boqin and his family, they walked out of the hut.

As soon as he saw Shi Zhongkui approaching on horseback, Liu Boqin hurriedly paid his respects and said, "Noble sir, the elder beside you is really the living Buddha. Last night, all the young and old in my family had a dream entrusted to them by their late father.

It was said that he was suffering in the underworld and would not be able to be reborn for a long time. Fortunately, the holy monk recited the scriptures and eliminated his sins. The King of Hell sent someone to send him to the blessed land of China, where he would be reborn in a wealthy family."

Shi Zhongkui saw that although Tang Monk's mouth was modest, his eyes were full of self-doubt, and he knew that this boy was beginning to doubt the necessity of traveling west to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

I couldn't help but feel secretly happy.

Since the so-called Hinayana Buddhism can also save the dead souls, why did the Bodhisattva ask Emperor Tang to send people to the West to seek Mahayana Buddhism?

And why did Nanhai Bodhisattva deceive the emperor and his followers when he was in Chang'an?

What confused Tang Seng the most was that even Bodhisattvas could lie, so what was the use of the precepts he adhered to?

Shi Zhongkui was really satisfied with Liu Boqin and others for destroying Tang Monk's faith.

He threw away a bag containing at least three to four hundred taels of silver ingots and said, "To bother the Taibao family, this little silver can be considered as last night's meal money."

Liu Boqin naturally did not dare to accept it, but there was no reason to take back the money Shi Zhongkui rewarded.

It's just that the Quanhu Banquet was really delicious, and the money was all the hard work spent on last night's banquet.

Secondly, booking a few tables for the all-tiger banquet immediately surprised Liu Boqin and others.

Having the opportunity to have more contact with Shi Zhongkui, the great governor, is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these mountain gods and the land.

Moreover, there was a hint in Shi Zhongkui's words that if something happened, he would provide protection.

Otherwise, in heaven, there is even dragon liver and phoenix marrow, and if you can’t eat any good things, why do you have to book a full tiger feast?
