Chapter 88 Catch a coward!
Late at night - in Shaolin Temple, monks of all sizes were basically resting. Occasionally, there were a few old monks who were not sleeping. They also sat cross-legged in the room, practicing Zen, without making any sounds, and without any light!
In the year of a major disaster, in order to save expenses and save more victims, the monks did not even light up lamp oil, so they could save as much as possible in other aspects!
But in the silence, there were figures flashing back and forth in the small courtyard where Xue Yu and his men lived.
"Boss, everyone else is going to bed, it's time!"
"Well, take out the things and let's satisfy our cravings!"
"Good!"
Xue Yu, Li Yan, mouse, and flower snake were not sleeping. They sneaked into the kitchen. Soon, there was a jingling sound, and black smoke came out of the chimney...
After a while, plates of delicious dishes were served, including Kung Pao chicken diced, sweet and sour pork ribs, braised fish pieces, spicy rabbit meat... They are all color, fragrance and taste, and they make people drool when they smell it!
Shaolin monks quit meat, but they did not forbid pilgrims to eat meat. In order to facilitate their daily life, they set up a separate courtyard for the pilgrims to live in, so that they would not interfere with each other!
But, the pilgrims came to Shaolin Temple and prayed for the Buddha's blessing. In order to show their piety, basically no one was involved in meat. Even if they wanted to eat meat, they had to forcibly endure it.
The problem is that others can’t help it, Xue Yu, mouse, and Baihua Snake can’t help it!
There is no way. I was really hungry when I was wandering, which made Xue Yu and his friends particularly persistent in eating, and developed two habits: one is to never waste food, and the other is to like eating meat very much!
I used to want to eat meat, but unfortunately I couldn’t eat it. Now I have the conditions to eat it, but I am restricted. The pain can be imagined!
Xue Yu and his wife endured it for three days, but they couldn't help it anymore. They took advantage of the opportunity to go down the mountain to buy things and stole two fat chickens, several large pieces of pork and a fish from the farmer's hands. They set up a trap in the back mountain and trapped two hares!
I was afraid that someone would be caught during the day, so I had to wait until midnight when others fell asleep, so I took it out to satisfy my cravings!
This kind of thing can be hidden from others, but cannot be hidden from Li Yan, who lives with him. In order to avoid leaking the news, he had to bring him into the group.
At first I was worried that he would refuse, after all, this guy is handsome and knowledgeable, and doesn't look like a very corrosive person!
Unexpectedly, Li Yan was also a meat-free owner. After eating vegetables and tofu for a few days, the greedy worm in his stomach had already made a fuss. He agreed immediately without saying anything, and even brought out a large jar of No. 1 Choi Hong from the box he brought with him!
In ancient times, when wealthy families gave birth to daughters, they would specially brew more than a dozen jars of good wine, secretly hiding them in the ground kiln or walls until their daughters were taken out when they got married, either as dowry or entertain guests at wedding banquets, which was called 'daughter red!'
This is the case with the family who gave birth to a daughter, and the family who gave birth to a son is not willing to fall behind. They also store a large amount of good wine and paint it with vermilion red on the wine jar, which is called "Zhuangsheng Red", which means that the son has the appearance of a top scholar!
Although Li Yan is not old, he is also a drinker. Therefore, when he is about to go out, he moved a few jars of good wine from his own cellar, including this jar of No. 1 Yuanhong!
But after drinking the good wine in advance, wouldn’t he be afraid that he won’t be the top scorer in the future?
Or maybe in his heart, life pursuit is not a title, but something else?
With good food and good wine, the rest is simple.
eat!
drink!
Eating meat is delicious, but eating it secretly makes it even more delicious. It is even more perfect with fine wines that have been stored in the cellar for more than ten years.
Li Yan, mouse, flower snake, and wolf-eating all of them were full of oil, but Xue Yu had a bad appetite. He only ate one hare, ate seven or eight steamed buns, and drank two big bowls of Zhuangyuanhong, and stopped eating and drinking! (Is this a bad appetite?)
The appetite is bad because of concern!
After a few days of getting along, Xue Yu and Monk Wuyan’s friendship can be said to be a rapid progress, but it is not easy to take him out of Shaolin Temple!
After all, from ancient times to the present, there are many things that pilgrims have gone up the mountain and are inspired by the monks, and then become monks and become monks!
I haven't heard of it yet. The pilgrim went up the mountain and chatted randomly, and he kidnapped the little monk away.
Even if the young monk is willing to leave, the old monks will not agree!
What Xue Yu thought about day and night was how to let Shaolin Temple release people?
"Boss, I'll go and make some more convenient!"
"Well, it's dark, be careful and don't fall into trouble!"
"Don't worry, I didn't drink too much!"
The mouse drank a few more glasses, and with good wine, he walked towards the ward outside the courtyard. From the shaking figure, we can tell that anyone who said he had not drunk too much was basically drinking too much.
It’s nothing if you drink too much, just go to bed after a while. When you wake up, your alcohol will disappear!
The other three people didn't care and continued to eat and drink. After a while, the mouse ran back in panic. His face turned pale, his head was sweating, and his body was trembling. It was obviously frightened.
"Hello, I'm so scared, my pants are still wet, haha!"
"Boss, I...I...I'm really a hell!"
"Nonsense, this is a Buddhist holy land, and the ghosts come from there. Are you drunk too much and your eyes are blurred?"
"Boss, there is really a ghost, but she is still a female ghost. She is a small figure in the garden, with a white face, and a big cloak, which is so scary!"
"Well, is there a ghost?"
Xue Yu trusts his friends 100%. Since the mouse says he has seen a ghost, it is definitely not nonsense.
There is no one who is not afraid of ghosts, but for a few teenagers who are overenerable, their curiosity is far greater than their fear!
In addition, after drinking some wine, the courage became super big. After a few discussions, they decided to catch ghosts together!
Of course, you can’t just grab ghosts without any fist, but it’s too late to prepare magic weapons, so you can only use local materials!
Xue Yu returned to the bedroom and took out two black donkey hooves and a large bag of glutinous rice. They were all left by the tomb robbers before. He was ready to work harder that day, and then he would do something big.
Li Yan took out a book called "The Analects of Confucius". The words of the saint were full of righteousness, which happened to be used to restrain the ghosts. He also took out the ink and drew several Vajra Talismans and Demon-subduing Talismans on the faces of the four people.
These days, I have learned the skills of drawing talismans with monks.
The Hundred Flowers Snake held a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva worshipped in the dormitory in his arms, preparing to deal with the ghosts!
...
"Boss, are we really going to catch ghosts?"
"Of course, I really go. I have never seen a ghost before!"
"Why don't you ask the masters of Shaolin Temple to take action, they are more capable of doing this!"
"A mere little devil, why do you need the masters to take action? I'll just go!"
"Boss..."
"Go away!"
The mouse shivered and led the way, Xue Yu and Li Yan followed closely behind, and Baihua Snake was responsible for the rear of the palace. The four of them left the courtyard and then passed a corridor to touch Jiashan not far away...
The weather was good tonight, with bright moon hanging high and stars shining brightly. Although there were no lanterns and torches, you could still see the things around you with the water-like moonlight.
Next to the yard where the Pilgrim Gate lives, there is a large garden, which is also a medicine garden, with flowers, plants and trees planted, as well as some commonly used medicinal materials for treating bruises and injuries!
Shaolin Temple practices martial arts and is inevitable to be injured, so a large amount of medicinal materials were planted so that monks can use them at any time!
"Mouse, where are the ghosts?"
"I just jumped in the garden, now... look!"
"Yeah...ah!"
Xue Yu and others were skeptical about what was wrong, but when they swept their eyes, they suddenly became scared and their drunkenness was completely awake.
I saw a small figure in the corner of the garden, about three feet tall, wearing a black and large cloak, constantly jumping, as if a ghost was floating!
What is the situation? Is there really a ghost in the world?
"Brother Yu, otherwise, let's go and invite the masters!"
"It's okay, people are afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are afraid of people seven points. Follow me and catch her!"
Li Yan was a little timid, only Xue Yu was not afraid at all and walked slowly towards the little ghost. One thing, after experiencing so many things, he had already developed the courage.
Second, deep in Xue Yu's heart, I actually hope there are ghosts in this world!
Because ghosts and gods are one, if there are really ghosts, there will definitely be gods!
If you can find clues to the gods by taking this opportunity, you may have hope to return to the original world!
Although I have been traveling through time for several months, Xue Yu still misses the original world very much. There are his own relatives, friends, classmates... and collected novels and new works by Hei Dao. I haven’t seen them yet. I have a great regret in life and I don’t even close my eyes when I die!
But in this world, I am also reluctant to leave. There are also my own partners, friends... and those waiting for me.
If there is really a chance, should you leave or stay?
"Click!"
As he was thinking about it, Xue Yu slowly approached the black shadow. Seeing this, the others followed him trembled. Because of the overly nervousness, Li Yan accidentally kicked a stone and made a loud noise!
Hearing the movement, the little ghost turned around and slapped Xue Yu and others in the face!
"Ghost!"
"Ghost!"
Amid the screams, the mouse, the flower snake, and Li Yan were all so scared that their legs became weak and they sat directly on the ground. Xue Yu was the most courageous and couldn't help but take a few steps back!
With the moonlight, you can clearly see that under the cloak is a little girl's face, who is only six or seven years old, and her facial features are quite pretty!
The problem is that the color of this little face is too white, not snow-white or pale, but pale without blood, and it is like a piece of rice paper!
What's even more terrifying is that there are two red pieces hanging on the corner of her mouth, which easily reminds people of the horrifying legend of hungry ghosts sucking human blood!
No wonder Li Yan and others were scared. They looked so honorable. If they said she was not a ghost, they would probably not believe it.
"Woooooo!"
Unexpectedly, the little ghost also sat on the ground and rolled and crawled to a cherry tree. He held the trunk tightly with his hands, trembling all over, and making a moaning cry!
What's going on? Did you meet a coward?
