Liaozhai: A Poor Monk Transcends to Immortal

Chapter 111 A Blessing in Misfortune (joint chapter, please subscribe)
"Can you take the young monk to the granary to have a look?"

"This way, little master, please."

Under the leadership of Lu Yun, several people walked to a huge warehouse.

Pushing open the door of the warehouse, the granary was empty, with only a pile of wooden boards on the ground. The rice grains scattered on the wooden boards represented that grain had been stored here.

Lu Yun let out a long sigh: "What is stored here is the village's rations for a whole year. Without these rations, it will be difficult for the people in the village to survive."

When Pudu walked into the warehouse, he saw that the floor was paved with stone slabs, and the walls were surrounded by bluestones. Even the beams and pillars above his head were tightly sealed. Except for a few ventilation openings, the entire warehouse had only one door for entry and exit, which was equivalent to a very strict warehouse. Secret room.

Pudu couldn't help frowning, and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes.

interesting,
In this environment, hundreds of loads of food disappeared, which is comparable to the suspense cases in previous lives.

His spiritual consciousness came out and scanned the entire warehouse.

Huh?
As if he had discovered something, a strange look appeared on Pudu's face.

Under the curious eyes of all the big men, he walked to the corner and slowly moved the stone slab in the corner, revealing a huge hole.

this······

Everyone looked at this scene in shock,
When did this happen?

Why did they never notice it.

Lu Yun frowned: "Little master, this is..."

Pudu smiled slightly: "The burrows were made by food thieves."

"Young master, is this done by humans?"

"Not yet known."

Pudu knelt down and looked at it for a moment, and saw that the entrance of the hole was uneven. It didn't look like it was dug out, but rather like it was dug out by some kind of animal.Moreover, the entrance to the cave is very narrow. If a person goes in alone, he will most likely have to huddle up, making it almost impossible to transport food.

So, not a human?

Pudu suddenly looked back at Lu Yun.

Lu Yun touched his face and asked doubtfully: "What, little master, is there something on my face?"

"Did the donor offend any animals in the village?"

Offend animals?

Hearing this, Lu Yun smiled and said: "What the young master said, my village is located in the mountains. In addition to food, I naturally rely on the mountains to eat on weekdays. As for wild animals, I hunt a lot of them, including tigers and leopards. Hunted.”

Pudu nodded.

Lu Yun asked in disbelief: "What, young master, is it possible that those wild beasts took the food from my village?"

"Not yet known."

"However, the young monk has a way to lure him out."

Lu Yun's eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Speak quickly, young master."

······
The next day,

The men in the village came down the mountain vigorously with weapons in hand, and returned near dusk. Everyone was carrying a huge sack on their shoulders, and their faces were filled with excited smiles.

After returning to the village, he piled the sacks on his shoulders in the granary.

"Brothers, from now on you will be on duty day and night. Don't let food get lost again. If anyone neglects his duty, be careful with the knife in my hand."

As he spoke, he waved a sword wind.

The entire mountain village was filled with torches, lighting up almost half of the mountain col.

night,
It was calm and everyone fell asleep. Only the person guarding the granary kept his spirits up and patrolled around.

In the granary, the stone slab at the corner was pushed open, and huge rats swarmed out of the hole, then picked up a bag of grain and disappeared into the tunnel.

In Liangshan, a huge underground palace was filled with grain. A half-human-tall mouse with eyes shining brightly lay intoxicated among the grain.

After a while, rats carried sacks of grain one by one into the underground palace. The huge rat stood upright, stroking the beard at the corner of its mouth, stepped forward to ward off the rats, and then swiped its paw across the sacks of grain. A pile of dead branches and leaves suddenly fell to the ground from inside.

The huge rat looked at this scene and was startled for a moment, then let out a harsh neighing sound.

"Damn humans, they actually used dead branches and leaves as food to deceive me."

"Amitabha."

"Donor, if you plunder food for no reason, don't you allow people to take precautions?"

Pudu suddenly appeared in the underground palace. He looked at the huge and brilliant building in front of him and let out a long sigh. No matter how brilliant the existence was, it could not withstand the torrent of history.Perhaps countless years ago, the underground palace in front of us was built with great effort by the human race, but now it has become a gathering place for rats.

When Pudu sighed, a rat eye fell on him.

The imagined battle did not happen. After looking at Pudu for a few times, the huge rat knelt on the ground.

"Master, have mercy on me. Master, have mercy on me. Let the little demon explain."

Purdue:······

How come you are as timid as a mouse?
After all, he is still a rat demon in the Mysterious Core Realm. Is it appropriate to kneel down and beg for mercy without even giving him a fight?

The corner of Pudu's mouth twitched slightly: "Say!"

"Master, the little demon has never harmed anyone since he became a demon."

Pudu glanced at him lightly. If it wasn't like this, how could he let it be so nonsense?

"This love of food is innate in the little demon's bones. The little demon really can't resist it."

Looking at the rat demon with runny nose and tears, Pudu's head was covered with black lines. Is this guy really a demon?

There is no magic at all!
"Okay, okay, don't cry anymore."

"Master, you won't kill me?"

"You have never harmed anyone. Why did the monk kill you? It's just that these grains are life-saving things for the mountain people. You must return them."

The rat demon looked at the grains with a look of pain on his face.

After struggling for a while, he looked at Pudu and slowly said: "Master, can the little demon exchange other things for those mountain people?"

"What?"

"The precious medicine of the mountain spirit can be used by all birds and animals."

"It's up to you. The young monk can pass the message on your behalf."

"Thank you Master, thank you Master."

Under the unwilling eyes of the rat demon, the bags of food were returned again.

Pudu looked at the underground palace in front of him curiously. It seemed like the mausoleum of the deceased, and it seemed to be deliberately built, but its purpose was unknown.

But the problem is that this is inside a mountain. It is unreasonable for an underground palace to appear in a deep mountain.

"Grandmaster!"

Pudu, who was deep in thought, was interrupted and glanced at the rat demon beside him: "Why not transform into a human body?"

The rat demon smiled flatteringly and said: "Master, I am used to being a rat, but I am not used to being a human being."

"Do you know anything about this underground palace?"

The rat demon pondered for a while, then frowned and said, "The little demon only knows that this is a place of sacrifice, and doesn't know anything else."

Sacrifice?

The entire underground palace is visible at a glance, and there seems to be no other way out, not even an altar. How could it be used for sacrifice?

After looking at it for a while, he shook his head.

"Don't do evil in the future, so that you can do it yourself."

"Little demon, remember the master's words."

After Pudu left, the rat demon immediately collapsed to the ground, sweat dripping down his face, as if he had suffered a great fright.

"What an amazing little monk."

As a rare pure-blood demon, he awakened the rat tribe's innate magical power after channeling: the short-sightedness of the rat tribe.When it first appears, it is not very powerful, but it can seek blessings and avoid disasters, and can clearly see the extent of the enemy's harm to him.His magical power told him that he had no chance of escaping with his life in front of this little monk.

This was the first time since he entered the world, and of course it had something to do with his short-sightedness.

Fortunately, the young monk did not have any murderous intention towards him, otherwise, his life would have been lost.

······
Liangshan Village,
Lu Yun looked at the warehouse full of grain, excitement and excitement appeared on his face. The grain was finally back.

"Little master, I would like to thank you for the copycat."

"Donor, the young monk still has something to discuss with you in detail."

"Please tell me, little master."

Pudu then recounted what happened today.

When Lu Yun heard this, his face turned pale with excitement, and a cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Demon, there is a demon in Liangshan Mountain.

"Donors don't have to be afraid. The rat demon has never killed any living beings and is considered a good demon. It just loves food naturally. You can use this to exchange some spiritual herbs and wild beasts with him. Of course, you can also offer food to him to seek protection. In this way, for For you to be a copycat, it’s a good thing.”

Exchange, offering?
Although Lu Yun's face was not pretty, there was a little more thought in his eyes.

If it is true as the young master said, this seems to be a good thing for his Liangshan village. At least he does not need to consider casualties when hunting, and he can also get a batch of spiritual herbs to sell. Of course, the most important thing is blessing. With a monster protecting him, he no longer has to worry.

Overall, it seems to be a good thing for him.

just,

"Little Master, are you sure that monster really doesn't eat people?"

"Donor, don't worry."

Lu Yun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I, Liangshan, are willing to trade with him and even offer him sacrifices."

Pudu nodded, this was a blessing in disguise. After staying one night in the mountain village, he went down the mountain the next day.

Yuhua Mansion,
In just two months, a luxurious temple has been built. The person enshrined in the temple is none other than the Divine Lord Li Chengan. Perhaps the public opinion has been good, and the incense in the temple is pretty good.

Pudu glanced at it without paying attention, and walked straight across the street towards the north gate. Naturally, his purpose was to go to Prajna Temple.

In the temple realm, Li Chengan looked at Pudu's retreating figure on the street, his expression extremely calm.

He's a genius, but it's a pity that he can't be used by me.

"Yiming."

"God Lord."

"Can the various county temples be settled properly?"

"Qi Shenjun has been properly placed and temples have been established in the five counties."

Li Chengan closed his eyes, feeling the power of the incense coming continuously, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. If this continues, within a few years, he will definitely break through to become a god.

"Go down."

"Yes."

······
Prajna Temple is located in the northern suburbs, only a few miles outside the city. Moreover, Prajna Temple is not on the mountain, but at the foot of the mountain. Once upon a time, Prajna Temple was just an ordinary temple. A wandering old monk passed by and accepted a disciple, so he stayed inheritance.

However, this was many years ago.

After leaving the city, there is a market not far away. After the market, there is a big town, and Prajna Temple is in the town.

Walking into the town, although it is not as prosperous as Fucheng, it is still bustling with people.

A huge temple is even more conspicuous.

Walking through the square, approaching the temple door, knocking gently.

After a few breaths, the temple door was opened, and the welcoming monk stretched out his head and looked at Pudu doubtfully.

"Brother, is there something wrong?"

Pudu smiled and said: "Little monk Pudu, I want to stay in the temple for a few days. Is it convenient?"

"This... senior brother, wait a moment, the junior monk can't decide, so he still needs to report it to the master in charge of the temple."

"good."

After saying that, the welcoming monk closed the door and left in a hurry.

After a while, a middle-aged monk walked away, opened the temple door and came out.

"Amitabha."

"The poor monk met the young master at the Dharma altar."

"The young monk Pudu has met the master who oversees the temple."

"Please, young master, let's go inside and talk in detail."

Pudu nodded and followed him in.

In the guest hall, the two of them sat cross-legged. The old monk looked at Pudu curiously: "Is the young master the Buddhist disciple of Tianluo Temple who went on a tour recently?"

"Exactly."

“I’ve heard about it a long time ago, and now I see that it’s well-deserved.”

"Master praises."

"How many days do you want to stay in the temple, young master?"

"It can be as short as three months and as long as about half a year."

kindness?
The Dharma Altar was slightly startled: "Why does it take so long? Of course, young master, there is no need to mind. The poor monk has no other intentions, he is just a little curious."

"The young monk is on this trip to study, and he has another wish, which is to read all the Buddhist scriptures in the world. On the way, he will meet your temple. I wonder if the master can do it for me."

Observe sutras?

For Buddhist disciples, there is nothing invisible about the Buddhist scriptures, and they can also create a good relationship.

Dharma thought for a moment and nodded immediately.

"Of course it's possible. It's hard to see a monk like Little Master in the world."

After the conversation, a Zen room was arranged for him, and he was allowed to enter and leave the Sutra Pavilion.

"Master, I wonder how many volumes of scriptures there are in the temple?"

"Eighteen thousand volumes in total."

There are more than [-] copies. In addition to duplicates, there should be close to [-] copies. In this case, it is easy to get close to the [-] mark.

I wonder if I will have any visions after reading fifty thousand scriptures.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of expectation.

"Master, can the abbot be in the temple? Can I allow the young monk to pay his respects?"

"This..., to be honest with you, young master, the abbot brother has been in seclusion for many days now, so I'm afraid he won't be able to see you again."

so?
It can only be done in the future, after all, I still have to stay in Prajna Courtyard for a while.

"The poor monk should take the young master to the Sutra-Tiding Pavilion to have a look."

"Thank you, Master."

The two of them left the living room and passed through a corridor. In front of it was the Main Hall. They had just glanced at it accidentally, but who would have thought that he would notice something strange.I saw that above the Main Hall, where the Buddha's throne should have been, was now replaced by a huge statue of the god, none other than Li Chengan, the god.

Pudu frowned deeply. Even though Prajna Temple had taken ten statues, it would not replace the Buddha's position, right?
The Dharma altar on the side also seemed to notice something strange about Pudu, and there was a hint of helplessness in his eyebrows.

Then he said helplessly: "Little master, let's go."

"Master, is this the seat of the Buddha?"

"It has been moved to the side hall by senior brother." Dharma Altar sighed leisurely: "I hope you won't blame me, young master. Our Prajna Academy has nothing to do about this matter!"
