Devil’s Advent

"Master, let's eat."

The little monk Liaofan arranged the food and called for his master.

The master came over and sat down. Normally, the master was very crazy, but there were only two times when the master was sober.

One is that when entering the Pingxi Palace, he didn't let Ha Lazi be in a daze, but tried to be as solemn as possible;

One is when eating, the master will be there as soon as he shouts, and he will never lean there and continue to wander.

crazy is crazy

Fake madness is fake madness,

People live a lifetime, crazy when they should be crazy, and sober when they should be sober, which is also a kind of carefree life.

The food is very rich, the vegetarian diet is correct, but it is not too harsh, there is a lot of oil and water, and there are shredded pork in some mixed dishes, so the master and apprentice can eat as they like.

The two of them are the only monks in the Calabash Temple, and some disabled old soldiers are also placed here;

Earlier, for the arrangement of the Gourd Temple, the palace was more of a resettlement place for disabled veterans. Most of them were widowed and had no family members, and they were severely disabled. For this kind of place, the Calabash Temple is a good place to go, and you only need to fetch water and sweep the floor on weekdays.

It's not that the temple has never thought about recruiting more monks to enrich the practice field, but the Pingxi Palace has always been extremely strict in this regard, especially in the past two years, the land in the east of Jin has almost become a forbidden place for all outsiders;

At any time, among the people outside Fang, most of them are cheating food and drinking. It is not impossible for those who are really capable. For example, there are quite a few in the back mountains of Qianguo and in the Qintian prisons of various countries. Most of the time, they don’t need to travel. have their own roots.

However, once ordinary outsiders enter Jindong, once they are discovered, they will be "invited" to receive "ideological education", and then they will be packed in batches and sent to the snowfield to enrich and improve the quality of the wild people in the snowfield. spiritual and cultural life.

Everyone is looking for a living, so there is really no need to challenge the highest difficulty directly.

Therefore, there is only one gourd temple in the huge Fengxin City, which makes the business of the master and apprentice quite busy.

Fengxin City has a special drum and horn team. There are suona drums and so on. They used to be buglers in the army. Was conscripted into the barracks to pick up his old job.

But in the religious ceremony, because there are only two masters and apprentices, it was compressed as much as possible.

In many cases, the master and the apprentice have to go to more than a dozen families a day, blessings, funerals, etc. where they are needed. My sister and son are not as fast as their master and apprentice.

As for the meals for the gourd temple every day, they are provided by the believers. They are mainly vegetarian, mixed with some meat, and the cost is not high.

There are incense money and so on, and there are a lot of them, but Gourd Temple will hand over a large amount of tax money to the royal treasury every month, which cannot be called tax money to the outside world. mercy.

Therefore, under this "castle in the air" structure, it is impossible for the Gourd Temple to expand by lending loan sharks or land acquisitions like temples and dojos in other places in other countries.

However, both the master and the apprentice have the karma of Buddhism, so they really don't like this way of development.

eat and eat,

A figure came over.

His complexion is very pale, but in the depths, there is a very uncomfortable redness. This is a paper doll.

But this paper figure obviously has the characteristics of a "living person", and he came here by himself.

Monk Kongyuan is awake when eating,

Now I drank a big mouthful of soup,

road:

"People from the palace will come to the temple in the afternoon, are you not afraid?"

The paper man sat down.

Seeing this, little monk Liaofan immediately shouted:

"There's water down there!"

The paper figurine stood up, but its buttocks were already wet.

The little monk Liao Fan sighed,

"I have to re-paste the paper for you again."

"It is your good fortune to let you shape my body. Even if you are the reincarnation of that thing, it is also a reincarnation Buddha. Pindao is the incarnation of heaven in the world!"

"whispering sound."

The old monk Kongyuan let out a disdainful disdain,

road:

"Look at this cowhide blowing, you have blown the thick cowhide into thin paper, how can you still blow it?"

paper man,

It was that Taoist priest.

The Taoist is dead, but the Taoist is not dead.

This Taoist priest entered the Gourd Temple as a straw puppet at the beginning, and after a quick confrontation with the monks and apprentices in the temple, the old monk said to the believers, "Fuck him to death", and tore the puppet to pieces.

His true self quietly sneaked into the coffin shop in Fengxin City.

He wanted to take a peek at the "rootless man\

,"But the "Blue Bird" had just ascended to the sky,

Just encountered a battle between heaven and man like a wheel battle!

First, an old monk rings the bell,

Another little monk invites the Buddha's shadow to appear,

Subsequently,

The stars fell,

I thought it was about to end, and I could slip away, but at the last moment, the most terrifying weapon hidden in the palace made a move and exploded the Taoist's bird.

Prince Pingxi is a very magnanimous person, but at the same time he is also a ruthless person;

He can tolerate people like Xiao Yibo, Sword Maid, and Qu Peiluo, whom he has hatred for killing his father and teacher, to continue to be active by his side and take them for his own use;

But for those who try to spy on their own children,

Even if he is really useful,

That will never be tolerated.

Therefore, Taoist was beheaded by Fan Li;

The soul that he cultivated so hard was forcibly swallowed by the magic pill, and he had a full meal, which indirectly promoted Zheng Lin's development in Siniang's stomach.

Daoists belong to the best in the world. At their peak, Zeng and Master Zang were at the same level. It can be said that Zheng Lin was born in the ninth rank, and Taoist was a part of the credit. Such supplements are really not something powerful can find.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff,

A Taoist is a true outsider,

The return path pursued by Taoism is to ascend from the feathers.

The body is meant to be discarded in order to seek a kind of self-spiritual freedom.

Therefore, there is still a part of the Taoist, a very small part, which is kept in its last puppet, which is this paper man.

The paper man is now a Taoist.

But the real Taoist is dead.

His cultivation and his body have been completely crushed by Pingxi Palace;

Only the paper figurine is left, and it has inherited part of its will, but it has been unable to make any waves, and a child can give it to him now with a flint and steel.

There is no past, because it has been lost;

There is no future, because he can't even touch the water, and it is impossible to practice, or even recover.

He can only continue to use the paper figurine as a carrier, floating and floating, stubbornly continuing his pride and indulgence.

It stands to reason that this paper figurine was originally the last plaything. After the main body died, it should also dissipate soon, but it floated to the Gourd Temple.

The pair of master and apprentice in the Gourd Temple really took him in.

It's not that the master and the apprentice deliberately took in the enemies of the palace to seek misconduct, but because the master and the apprentice knew that the Taoist was gone, and the admission on this basis was nothing more than the friendship of everyone who is a monk.

Every half a month, the little monk had to personally recite a scripture for the paper figurine to bless, otherwise the paper figurine would cease to exist. The existence of the Taoist is so pitiful and helpless.

Can,

The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change,

He still feels that he is the superior one, and his state of mind does not change with external objects. This point, the Taoist has indeed achieved.

"I'm very comfortable now, really, old monk, how about you too?"

The old monk rolled his eyes at the paper man and ignored him.

The master and apprentice continued to eat;

The little monk ate faster, after putting down the bowls and chopsticks.

The old monk continued to cook his soup and rice leisurely,

asked:

"Disciple, let's add up again, what kind of Buddha should we set up for King Pingxi?"

Standing Buddha,

This means that it is no longer just a statue of Prince Pingxi riding a Pixiu,

Instead, he wanted to find the identity of "Buddha reincarnated" for Prince Pingxi in the Buddhist classics.

Since ancient times, people from other places often like to do this kind of thing very much. This is the highest honor and blessing they can give.

But in every circle, there are people who follow others, and naturally there are also honest people.

so,

The paper figurine at the dinner table scolded directly:

"How shameless!"

Both master and apprentice ignored the Taoist who now has no face.

The little monk suggested: "Arhat?"

The old monk shook his head: "It's too low."

Arhats generally appear in the world in the form of military generals, performing the method of thunder, acting as a vajra with glaring eyes, and cleaning up the filth of the world;

But it is obvious that King Pingxi's current status has already surpassed this level.

"Bodhisattva?" the little monk said again.

The bodhisattva means to educate the world, to help the order, and to become the prime minister of the world, assisting the king.

The old monk shook his head again and said, "I'm afraid the prince doesn't want to be a Bodhisattva."

actually,

The old monk really wanted to say to his apprentice,

Damn you, you were the one who said you wanted to establish a state religion!

But the old monk also knew that the disciple of that day was not his disciple.

Therefore, it seems that the master is asking the disciple to make up his mind, but in fact the master is doing what the disciple wants, but the disciple himself does not know.

"He won't want it." The paper man said, "He doesn't respect ghosts and gods, and he doesn't have any interest in being ghosts and gods. If you believe in it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't. Anyone can say this sentence, but not everyone can really do it." to, but he can.

Don't waste your time in vain, be careful to lift a stone to hit your own feet. "

The little monk nodded in agreement.

The old monk hesitated and wanted to insist on it, but he still gave up the proposal temporarily by default.

...

afternoon

The people in the palace, who had returned from praying for blessings on Mount Tai, came to the Calabash Temple.

Today is the day when the princess of the palace and His Royal Highness are lucky, so the ceremony is also indispensable. Of course, there is another meaning, that is, when the big girl was born, the pair of masters in the gourd temple helped. , have to pay back.

Jinyi's personal guards cleared the place ahead of time, and the Gourd Temple is closed to the public today, but there are still many people kneeling outside the temple to worship. In the eyes of the big guys, if a prince enters the temple, this Buddha will also have a lot of efficacies.

Zheng Fan walked into the temple and yawned. He had this problem in his previous life, and when he entered the temple, he felt sleepy.

Behind, Zheng Lin, who was held in the arms of Princess Fu, was also yawning, and he was also sleepy.

The father and son moved one after the other, and their movements and expressions were synchronized.

When Princess Fu first hugged His Royal Highness, she was still thinking, is this a kind of temptation for herself?

Now, she was a little sure that she was really allowed to take care of the child.

She didn't feel any dissatisfaction, but was really flattered. Generally speaking, in a big family, raising children is the bounden duty of the aunt.

Even in Tian's family, they would often send the children born to other concubines to the queen to raise them. Of course, they didn't need to bring them in person, and their own servants took care of everything.

But whoever the child dangles in front of since childhood, will naturally kiss whoever in the future.

However, Princess Fu still admires her grandeur.

Even though she had only been in the palace's backyard for a day, she could tell that the real person in the palace's backyard was Feng Siniang. Even Xiong Liqing, who was born in the royal family of Great Chu, was just a younger sister in front of her.

Actually, things are not that complicated;

Si Niang is really...annoyed with her son.

Mothers must love their children, but just like couples who love each other will quarrel, caring about children is caring, but annoying is really annoying, but this little thing can't be stuffed back after it is born.

Unlike other demon kings, the child was conceived by her after all, so it might be the best choice to leave the filter to Princess Fu without the filter.

Liu Ruqing's place is vacant, so it is convenient for the Lord to go up and listen to the opera. Although this little sister is a widow entering the house, she is still young and knows how to behave. It is impossible to leave the child there and tie her up. Princess Fu is a newcomer. Such an errand, Naturally, she should bear it.

The prince and Liang Cheng sat down on two chairs and began to chat about the upcoming military parade in Eastern Jin during the Chinese New Year.

Xiong Liqing hugged the eldest girl, and Princess Fu hugged Zheng Lin. Accompanied by a group of nuns, they began to pay homage to the Buddha statues in the temple.

Those who should invest in incense money should invest in incense money, and those who should pay respects will pray.

If the child is still young and ignorant, an adult has to help him pray.

This is not a feudal superstition, because the real feudal class itself does not believe in this.

For example, Xiong Liqing herself doesn't believe in this, but this does not prevent her from taking every Buddha statue in the temple seriously for the sake of the big girl, as it is... a custom.

Concubine Fu replaced Siniang and worshiped Buddha for her children.

The eldest girl was in her mother's arms, looking at the various Buddha statues in front of her, feeling very strange, and giggling from time to time.

However, Concubine Fu noticed that His Royal Highness in her arms frowned slightly when looking at these Buddha statues without the enthusiasm of a child.

Yes,

The child's eyebrows are not yet fully grown, but you can really tell that he is frowning.

pair,

Very disdainful look.

It seems that this kind of worship, for him, is a kind of resistance, a kind of... torture.

Princess Fu thought it might be because the child couldn't stand the smell of incense in the temple, so she didn't think too deeply about it.

Walk past the Arhat Hall, and on the way in, there is a place where paper figurines are piled up.

The Gourd Temple is also responsible for paper-making people, but not many, because the master and apprentice and the old soldiers who help in the temple are too busy, and the coffin shop in Fengxin City provides one-stop funeral services. have.

Just like chanting scriptures, if anyone does business, they will come to the Gourd Temple and exchange incense money for a paper doll to go back to be a representative, so the work is not too big.

His Royal Highness, who was originally unhappy, suddenly became interested at this moment, and even took the initiative to laugh in a rare way, and danced outwards, but fortunately, Princess Fu hugged him.

And the movement of the younger brother here also attracted the big girl who was hugged by Xiong Liqing next to her,

The big girl looked at the pile of paper figurines over there with some doubts,

Shaoqing,

The big girl is also excited.

In the eyes of adults, the two children look at the paper dolls for fun, but it is unavoidable. In the world of adults, paper dolls always have bad associations.

But the adults didn't know what the two soul boys saw.

"Let's go, go inside and ask for a tablet." Xiong Liqing ordered.

"Yes." Princess Fu replied.

Every family member in the Wangfu has his own longevity tablet in the Calabash Temple, even every day.

As the group continued to walk in,

There seemed to be a gust of wind blowing, and a paper figurine shook slightly.

As for Zheng Lin, who was carried in by Princess Fu, his head was resting on Princess Fu's shoulder, and his gaze was still looking at the corner of the pile of paper figurines behind him.

He seemed to instinctively want to get out of this woman's bondage,

To tear up that which is hostile to him;

But at the next moment, the red mole between his eyebrows lightened up slightly, and the strength that the child had just mustered disappeared in an instant.

This is the effect of the seal.

The child leaned back a little tiredly, and stopped looking at the paper figurine.

It wasn't long before the Wang's family stayed in the Gourd Temple, and the old monk didn't mention that "the poor monk watched the sky at night and was enlightened by the Buddha before he knew the truth that the prince turned out to be the reincarnation of a certain Buddha";

Therefore, after paying homage, the Wangfu and his party quickly returned home.

But the auspicious ceremony is not yet in time, and according to the normal process, after worshiping the gods and Buddhas, it is time to worship the ancestors.

at the earliest,

In the bragging of Zheng Fan and Xu Pangpang, he was born in the family of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, his grandfather Zheng Zhilong and his father Zheng Chenggong;

Later, Xu Pangpang investigated, and there were no such two people in the Hou family;

Of course, with the rise of Zheng Fan at that time, King Pingxi had gradually become synonymous with "the head of Guizhou", just like Zhu Chongba in another time and space. His humble background is no longer a black history, but a glorious history.

However, the prince is not without a previous generation.

In the underground of the palace, there is one who has been an "elder" since a very early age, silently protecting Zheng Fan's family with the combination of "spirit in heaven" and "spirit on earth".

It's just a sacrifice to him, there's no need to make a big fuss.

In the corridor of the underground chamber,

Zheng Fan was the first to go in, lit incense himself, laid out tributes, and the coffin lay there quietly.

Even if there are hundreds of thousands of troops around now,

Even if there is a Juggernaut by my side,

But Zheng Fan has never forgotten the care that the person in the coffin gave him when he first arrived in this world, the weakest and most in danger.

This time, Siniang, who didn't go to the Gourd Temple, also came.

Demon kings would never admit that their seniority was low, but as Zheng Fan's wife, she had to show her courtesy at this time.

It was the first time for Princess Fu to come here, holding the child quietly and keeping silent.

"Your granddaughter and grandson have come to see you. In the future, when they can walk, let them come down to play with you."

This is the daily growth pattern;

Right now, it can be copied. After all, my son and daughter are all soul children, so I don't have to worry about being washed away.

"Put it on."

Zheng Fan said.

Xiong Liqing smiled, and took the initiative to put the big girl on the coffin lid. She had paid homage to her "father-in-law" when she first entered the palace.

The Great Chu royal family, which has a history of controlling beasts, is naturally close to this kind of family guardian god-like existence.

Concubine Fu was a little dazed at first, but she hesitated when she saw this, but she still put Zheng Lin on the coffin lid.

The big girl is very curious about the environment she is in now,

And once again aroused her instinct,

She patted the coffin lid with her little hand,

Facing the following, he actively laughed.

And at this time,

The scene that made Princess Fu's scalp tingle appeared, and there was a "rustling" friction sound from the coffin lid, as if fingernails were scratching the coffin.

Princess Fu looked at the people around and saw that everyone was calm, so she could only force herself to be calm together.

Zheng Lin, on the other hand, was rather dull, and just sat there with his eyes open, but he didn't move.

This scene,

Let the father can't bear it anymore,

bring up your son,

It's just two slaps on the son's buttocks.

Zheng Lin was beaten, turned to look at Zheng Fan, his gaze was a little heavy.

This feeling is like you are teaching Hu Shi's puppy, it is very cute, but sometimes, you can feel his anger.

"Ah."

Seeing this, Zheng Fan hit again with all his strength.

But maybe if you are a father and then spanking, it can't compare with your mother's needles. After all, as a fifth-rank peerless master, it is impossible for Prince Pingxi to kill his own son.

Therefore, Zheng Lin remained unmoved.

At this time, there seemed to be a response from the coffin, and the sound of friction became a little soothing.

It seemed to dissuade Zheng Fan from doing this.

Si Niang next to her silently took out the needle and was about to step forward.

deeper underground,

In that cage,

The man in black armor slowly opened one eye.

Ever since Xue San poured blood on him last time in exchange for him strangling the Taoist,

His activity seems to have recovered a little bit, at least, he doesn't fall into eternal dead silence like before, and now he can occasionally react autonomously.

The black-armored man seemed to be able to perceive what happened above,

slightly parted lips,

with disdain,

He said silently:

"waste……"

The word "trash" is naturally for that Prince Pingxi.

Because the other people around him all had unusual auras, after a few times, the only person standing in the main position was just a fifth-rank martial artist...

This level of cultivation, in the eyes of the black armored man, is no different from trash.

However,

at this time,

Zheng Lin, who was being picked up by Zheng Fan to spank and suffocate with his father,

All of a sudden, he opened his teeth and claws in great anger and began to shout:

"Ahhh!!!"

The cry of a child is inevitably full of milky sounds;

Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, this is the child crying and crying after being beaten by his own father.

But my father was stunned at this moment,

Because he could clearly see the anger and hysteria in his son's eyes, like a beast whose scales had been touched, gnashing its teeth at the enemy.

Not to himself, his own father who was beating him,

but towards the deep,

That stone gate.
