Wet viviparity

Chapter 511: Hunchback, Buddhist Scripture Society
There is a Shima Posthouse three hundred miles away from Baibao Mountain, located in the folds of the remaining range of Tulong Mountain.

To the west of Shima Posthouse there is a blue stone that looks like a horse. A spring gushed out from the crack of the horse's head and formed a stream, hence the name.

The mountains here are shaped like knife ridges, with red sand mixed in between the loess, and gullies crisscrossing like thunder and lightning. In spring, yellow winds blow the earth, and in summer, hail hits the young crops. Only on the 20th day of the last month of autumn, the sky is high and the air is clear, and the villagers call it "stealing the time of the sky."

The Northwest is a poor and barren place where an ounce of clean water is worth an ounce of gold.

There is a Stone Horse Spring at Shima Station, which is a treasure land in the eyes of mortals. As a result, many fights and conflicts have occurred in Shima Station, which has also created the fierce folk customs of the local people.

"The stone horse cries, the drought demon comes, and the sister carries the water eighteen times."

Shepherd Wang Tuozi was driving three hundred black-headed sheep back to the pen. The copper bells tied to the sheep's horns kept jingling, stirring up yellow dust in the stone alley at the entrance of the village and causing the village women to shout and curse.

Wang Tuozi didn't take it seriously. At the hour of Xu, smoke rose from cooking fires and the aroma of buckwheat wafted from every stove. Tuozi just ate some dry biscuits and then got down to his business of picking out the best lamb from the pen.

He combed the wool carefully, more attentively than the women in the village!
Not only that, he also used clean water, which was as precious as gold in this poor and barren northwest region, to feed the lambs.

After dinner, young and old from every household gathered at the threshing ground to listen to the village master Ma Sanye telling a story: "There was a night-shining pearl in the stone horse's eye. It was hidden for six years when a white wolf appeared. The pearl was dug out by the immortal on Baibao Mountain to suppress the monster."

Before he had even finished his words, there came a long howl of wolves from the top of the mountain, sending a chill down everyone's spine.

"It must be the arrival of an immortal."

In the threshing floor, someone shouted loudly, and everyone immediately responded with a chorus of voices.

"He's not an immortal, he's a high monk."

Wang Tuozi squeezed into the crowd and shouted loudly.

“A hunchback also wants to become a Buddha!”

When everyone saw the camel leading the lamb as if he was presenting a treasure, they knew what he was thinking and burst into laughter. The laughter echoed far away in the threshing ground.

Wang Tuozi ignored him and walked a few steps to Master Ma San. He carefully handed over a coin with a strange shape and said with a smile, "Master San, tell us more about the monk."

Master Ma San took the coin and looked at the hunchback meaningfully.

"Since last year, a monk has come down from Baibao Mountain.

This monk walked barefoot and visited all the deserted villages and towns within 300 miles of Baibao Mountain. Wherever he passed, he would respond to the requests of ordinary people.

Gold, silver, treasures, elixirs, pearls, and secret Buddhist skills, it can be said that nothing is not granted. In addition, this monk also regularly holds Dharma meetings on Baibao Mountain, and countless mortals and immortals go there to listen to his teachings. "

"Master Ma San, you also have special skills. Have you ever been to Baibao Mountain to listen to the teachings?"

someone asked.

"Of course I have been there." Master Ma San said rather unnaturally.

He had indeed been to Baibao Mountain, and had gone there with a group of wandering cultivators who were hanging around in the secular world. In the end, he only heard the Zen chanting from afar outside the Solitary Fox Temple for a while, and that Zen chanting was truly beautiful to hear.

"Third Master, our Shima Posthouse is so famous, it's unreasonable for that monk to stay here!"

someone said.

"Buddhism talks about fate. Maybe this monk has been here before, maybe he is here now, or maybe he has not come yet. In short, you can't force it."

Master Ma San knew that the monk on the Bu Lao Peak of Baibao Mountain was a genuine immortal, and compared to himself, he was so high that he was even higher than the clouds.

"Third Master, tell me more about the latest news on the Bu Lao Peak."

Wang Tuozi took out ten coins and handed them to Master Ma San, causing Master Ma San to look at them a few more times. "Tutzi, this money is not easy to come by. It is not worth spending it on these stories."

“It’s worth it, it’s worth it.”

Wang Tuozi said with a silly smile.

Master Ma San started talking again on the threshing floor, but Wang Tuozi left the threshing floor holding the lamb and quietly came to the small temple at Shimayi, which was Master Ma San's place.

Wang Tuozi had been paying attention to the monk's affairs for a long time and knew more than Master Ma San. The reason why he behaved like that on the threshing floor was to delay Master Ma San so that he could seize his opportunity.

Outside the temple, Wang Tuozi was squatting there holding a lamb.

According to the information he had gathered, although the monk's whereabouts were erratic, he generally moved within a 300-mile radius of Baibao Mountain. Whenever he arrived at a village or town, he would first look for the local independent cultivators or those who possessed special skills.

According to the information he collected from the wild fox woman in the neighboring village when he was herding sheep outside, the monk will arrive at Shima Posthouse tonight.

"Ding Ding!"

A bell rang. Such a clear sound definitely did not belong to Shima Posthouse. Wang Tuozi was overjoyed, thinking that all his hard work was worth it. Just as he was about to rush over, he suddenly felt numb and fell to the ground.

A large, calloused hand reached out and pulled the lamb out of the camel's arms.

"Humpback, don't blame the Third Master."

As he said this, he ignored the camel on the ground and walked forward with the lamb in his arms.

In the night ahead, a pair of round, smooth feet were seen walking on the ground, without a speck of dirt on them. Ma Sanye took two steps at a time and walked forward to salute, saying, "The young monk from Shimayi greets Madam Shagu." "Who are you?"

Madam Shagu asked.

"I am Ma San, the priest of Shimayi Temple. I know some magical skills and am willing to serve the young master and mistress."

"He can talk."

Madam Shagu nodded slightly, then turned her head, her eyes as clear as flowing water, looking at the figure on the way. When the figure approached, she unconsciously stepped back and subconsciously turned her face slightly away.

Ma San followed Madam Shagu's gaze and first heard a long breath.

The breath was like the white wind in the wilderness, and the sound of the wind was extremely clear. When the figure approached, two black air could be seen under his nose, exhaling and inhaling, over and over again, and ghosts were rolling in the air.

These ghosts enter and exit the nose with the black air, and with every long breath, these ghosts are washed away a bit of the evil air.

Ji Ming walked up to Mr. Ma San and put his hands together, breathing in and out, and said, "I have been giving away a lot of money all along the way, but you are the first one to take the initiative to greet me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma San bowed to him and started chanting the slogan he was tired of hearing, "Long live the young master, and may you enjoy eternal happiness."

Madam Shagu has been following Ji Ming since he came down the mountain to give money, serving him attentively. Just by looking at the expression on Ji Ming's face, she knew what he was thinking, and said to Ma San, "No need for the empty formalities. I think you already have something in mind."

"Yes, Xiao Xiu knows the rules and will not covet unnecessary wealth."

Ma San knelt down in front of Ji Ming, his eyes full of resoluteness, which were unique to Northwestern men, and at this moment, he said, "I hope to have a secret skill that can be passed down from generation to generation. I don't need supernatural powers, but I just hope that my descendants will not be bullied in the future."

"good!"

Ji Ming uttered a word and formed the seal of receiving wealth and increasing treasure with his hands. Magical energy intertwined on his palms and transformed into a book of secret skills.

"This secret skill is called Vajra Seal Body. Practicing it diligently can protect your family business for your descendants."

Master Ma San took the booklet and was overjoyed. The lamb beside him screamed in fear. Madam Shagu picked up the lamb and dragged the camel out of the grass nest, and removed the evil magic from the camel's body.

Master Ma San laughed awkwardly twice, waved to the hunchback, and asked him to pay his respects to the two immortals.

The hunchback knew that this was not the time to be fussy, so he kneeled down hurriedly and kowtowed to Ji Ming.

"What can I ask for?"

Jimin said with a smile.

Since he came down the mountain to give away money, people with appearances like the hunchback have become common, and there are even more exaggerated ones. However, this is understandable, as it is rare to find someone in this world who gives away money and teaches the Dharma like he does.

"I have a request, I have a request."

The hunchback immediately said, "I heard that the master will hold a very important Dharma teaching at the Solitary Fox Temple. The Dharma meeting will invite immortals from all over the world. I have only one idea, and I want the master to take me into the meeting so that I can choose a master among them."

After hearing what the hunchback said, even Ji Ming was slightly surprised.

Madam Shagu took a serious look at the hunchback and was secretly surprised at how well-informed this mortal was.

Master Ma San was filled with great regret. Why didn't he think of this method? For a moment, he wanted to slap himself in the face.

"How did you know about this Dharma Assembly?"

Jiming asked with interest.

Wang Tuozi said truthfully: "I often go to the fox cave in the next village to secretly listen to some strange stories. The wild fox woman in the cave has been talking about this all day long recently, saying that the master is going to hold a "Buddhist Scripture Conference".

During this Dharma Assembly, the Master will invite all the immortals to appreciate the supreme meditation method "Avici Two Qi" obtained from the Bright Immortal Palace. He will also select two people with predestined relationships to participate in the two causes and conditions with the Master.

I was thinking that if I could attend this grand gathering, maybe I could catch the eye of one or two immortals, and be recruited as a disciple, and taught some immortality skills, which would be a hundred times better than living a life in this world."

What the hunchback didn't say was that at the meeting, he would also be able to experience the two kinds of Avici Qi, so this was killing two birds with one stone.

After the hunchback finished speaking, Madam Shagu said beside Ji Ming, "Hu Laixi must have spread the news to his Hu family relatives. Ten people spread the news, and even the wild foxes in the deserted village knew about the Buddhist Scripture Society."

Ji Ming smiled and said, "I have never forbidden the news from spreading. The purpose of this Dharma Assembly is to let the world know my intention to help the people and give money."

"Young Master, if you want to do great things and good deeds, I can understand.

But this matter, let alone in the Thousand Flowers Cave of Baibao Mountain, is like a bolt from the blue even in the side sects and underworld.”

Madam Shagu said worriedly.

Ji Ming did not explain that holding a Buddhist scripture conference was a key part of the plan.

Once this is accomplished, not only will the two causes and conditions be transformed into reality, but the general principles of the Kongxianxuhui Dharma, as well as Yang Qian from Taoxiu Cave, will all be in his pocket.

Ji Ming said to the hunchback, "It's rare that you have this idea, so I'll allow you to do it."
