I Eat Monsters In the Town Monster

"My lord, monk, wait for me."

Qin Shaoyou walked halfway with Monk Ma when he suddenly heard someone calling behind him.

Turning around, it was Zhu Xiucai who was chasing him.

"What's the matter? Is there something in the Yamen?" Qin Shaoyou stopped and asked.

He thought that something happened in the yamen of Zhenyaosi, so Zhu Xiucai came to find them.

As a result, Zhu Xiucai ran up to the two of them and said, "Monk, are you going to teach your lord the vajra armor seal? Take me one, I want to learn it too."

He really wanted to learn the vajra armor seal. He had seen Monk Ma use it a few times before, and he felt that this Buddhist supernatural power was very powerful. Not only could he protect himself with a layer of golden armor, but the most important thing was that he was very handsome and powerful.

From Zhu Xiucai's point of view, Monk Ma can't show off. If he knows this supernatural power, when he uses it against the enemy, even if he doesn't put on a handsome pose, he has to drink a drink to show his style.

He kept thinking that when Qin Shaoyou learned the seal of the vajra armor, he would follow along to learn a little bit.

As a result, when he returned to Tongpu after going to the hut just now, the two had already left. It was only after asking Lishi that they found out that they had gone to the Luohan Temple, so he hurriedly chased after them.

Hearing that Zhu Xiucai also wanted to learn the vajra armor seal, Monk Ma felt a little embarrassed.

"Xiucai, it's not that I don't teach you, but if I teach you, you probably won't be able to learn it. You don't have the root of wisdom."

Zhu Xiucai was not happy: "Monk, if you say that my wisdom root is smaller than adults, then I will admit it. But you say I don't have wisdom root, and you haven't tried it, how do you know I don't have wisdom root?"

Monk Ma did not quarrel with him, and replied: "That's fine, you go with us. Let's say it first, if you can't understand it, don't blame me."

Zhu Xiucai saw that Monk Ma was willing to teach, and immediately put on a smiling face: "Don't worry, if I can't learn it, it's my own problem, and I will definitely not blame you."

Immediately afterwards, he took out another piece of cake from his bosom, and said courteously, "Monk, have you not had breakfast yet? Come, have a cake."

Monk Ma waved his hand and said, "No need, your lord has already treated me to dinner."

Hearing what he said, Zhu Xiucai was not polite. He broke the cake and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating the cake, he followed Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma.

The three of them soon came to the Arhat Temple.

This temple is located in the southwest of the city, next to the Gongyuan and Chenghuang Temple, and the towering pagoda inside the temple can be seen from a distance.

The incense of Luohan Temple has always been very strong, which has attracted many vendors to set up stalls outside the temple, so even in the early morning, the outside of the temple gate is also very lively.

In addition to sellers of scented wax and fortune-tellers, there are also hair-shavers, pedicures, and even people who come here to sell seasonal vegetables and firewood.

In the large open space a little farther away, there are still performers who are running around the rivers and lakes. They are arranging their luggage and props at the moment. When there are more people, they will start performing.

The secular bustling outside the temple gate and the clean outside the temple gate are only separated by a gate and a wall, forming a very subtle contrast.

The three of Qin Shaoyou walked through various stalls, and just as they reached the gate of the temple, they were about to enter when a bald man in a robe suddenly popped up beside him.

After putting his palms together and saluting towards Young Master Qin, he said with a serious expression: "Amitabha, I see the face of the donor, and he is actually a person who has a predestined relationship with the Buddha..."

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words.

Monk Ma said that he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha, but now another monk popped up, saying that he had a predestined relationship with the Buddha?

Just as he was amazed, he saw the monk take out a bamboo tablet from his bosom.

"I have a piece of Buddhist artifact here. A scholar offered five taels of silver before, but he didn't sell it to him. Because this Buddhist artifact is only given to those who have predestined relationship, and you are the one who has predestined relationship. Now you don't need this artifact. Five taels of silver is not needed, you don’t need three taels of silver, you can take it away with a tael of silver. You can keep it at home, and you can keep it on your body to ward off evil spirits..."

The monk touted the 'magic weapon' in his hand endlessly.

But Qin Shaoyou could see very clearly that this so-called magic weapon was just an ordinary bamboo tablet, without any spiritual power at all.

It's a fake!

Looking at this monk again, he is probably a fake.

Such things as posing as monks and selling amulets can be found everywhere.

Monk Ma's face suddenly darkened.

Although he has returned to vulgarity, he has been a real monk after all, and he can tell at a glance that the bald head in front of him is a fake monk.

But before he could reprimand him, Qin Shaoyou interrupted the fake monk's promotion, and asked with a sneer, "How many people have you told this story about the relationship with Buddha?"

The fake monk froze for a moment, and continued to pretend: "Of course I only told the benefactor."

Qin Shaoyou snorted and said, "Don't pretend, I don't bother with you if you read astrology and tell fortunes. But you are selling ordinary bamboo cards as magic utensils. In case someone really believes your words and buys this junk to go back, When encountering ghosts, not only do not run away, but also use it to suppress ghosts, isn't it killing people's lives?"

The face of the fake monk finally changed.

Monk Ma also reprimanded him at this time for cheating by pretending to be a monk, which is a violation of many precepts of Buddhism.

"I don't know what you are talking about. I kindly want to give you a good fortune. If you don't want it, just let it go."

The fake monk said that he was about to leave, but was grabbed by the horse monk.

Before he could yell, Zhu Xiucai had already called two guards who were patrolling the streets here.

The guards didn't want to take care of these things at first, until Zhu Xiucai whispered a few words to them, and then came to arrest the fake monk.

When the fake monk was taken away, he still refused to accept it and scolded: "You will be punished for doing this."

Monk Ma replied: "You pretend to be a monk to cheat, and you will be punished even more!"

But Zhu Xiucai said: "Retribution? Come female ghosts or banshees? You let them come anyway, as many as they come, I will kill as many as grandpa!"

The people around watched the scene of free money, and all gave thumbs up to Zhu Xiucai, who was not afraid of ghosts and dared to kill ghosts, and praised him for being amazing.

Zhu Xiucai was triumphant, and thanked all around.

Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma ignored him and went straight into the Luohan Temple.

Seeing this, Zhu Xiucai hurried after him.

After crossing the gate of Arhat Temple, the first thing you enter is the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

The four heavenly kings are holding pipas, swords, banners and dragon snakes lined up on the left and right, with ferocious ghosts under their feet.

After passing the Hall of Heavenly Kings, there is a square with a stone statue of Maitreya sitting in the center, behind it is the Hall of Maitreya, and the left and right corridors are the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats.

Zhu Xiucai, who followed, introduced to Qin Shaoyou: "The most famous of this Arhat Temple is the Arhat Hall in the two corridors. Every year on the first day of the first lunar month, many people come here to offer incense and count Arhats."

Counting Arhats is a folk custom, that is, after entering the Hall of Arhats, count the Arhats one by one according to their age. The last one counted is his own natal Arhat this year.

There is a saying that if the numbered arhat has a kind face and kind eyes, then this year's fortune will be good.

And if Luohan is vicious, he has to be careful of bad luck.

Of course, there are many ways to count arhats and ask good or bad luck, which vary from place to place. But one thing is the same, that is, when people count the arhats that are not good for them, they will count again.

Qin Shaoyou glanced at Zhu Xiucai, a little surprised: "You haven't been in Fucheng before, and you know so much about the situation of Luohan Temple?"

Zhu Xiucai smiled and said, "Although I wasn't in Fucheng before, I would come here to offer incense every first day of the new year."

Qin Shaoyou was amazed: "I didn't realize that you are still a Buddhist."

Zhu Xiucai shook his head and said, "I don't believe in Buddhism. The main reason is that every year on the first day of the new year, there will be many young ladies who come with their families to offer incense. I want to see if I can match one of them."

Well, the Arhat Temple on the first day of the first lunar month has become a blind date corner?

"Then why are you still single? After all these years, you haven't fallen in love with anyone?" Monk Ma asked curiously.

"How is it possible! Every year I fall in love with several of them, but I fall in love with them, but they don't fall in love with me. Probably because they think I'm worthless."

Zhu Xiucai shook his head and sighed.

Qin Shaoyou patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "You have to have confidence in yourself, you are not worthless."

"Are they blind?" Zhu Xiucai asked.

Before Qin Shaoyou answered, Monk Ma quietly answered, "Have you never thought about it, is it because you are ugly?"

Zhu Xiucai, who was hit hard, fell silent.

Qin Shaoyou and Monk Ma didn't tease him anymore.

Because the three of them had already passed through the Maitreya Hall.

Wei Tuo Bodhisattva is enshrined behind the Maitreya Hall.
