Chapter 576: Buddhist Vest, Want to Become a Holy Monk

Zheng Shiru's family background is similar to that of the Xiang family of the Baling Gang. His ancestors had entanglements with the Demon Sect. The Demon Sect used and defended against these peripheral families who knew many of their secrets, and also used some tactics from time to time.

Xiangyushan is like a castrated pretty boy who suffered a disaster after practicing the secret book given to him by an elder of the Yingui sect. Originally, he was planning to deal with his father, and let his father go crazy and die in order to cover up the secret book that he gave to him. Some secrets of the elders of the Demon Sect.

But I didn't expect that Xianggui didn't practice it himself, so the technique was given to Xiangyushan. Xiangyushan was young and had better foundation. He didn't practice to death directly, but just went crazy. Fortunately, he survived, but his body has been extremely weak since then.

Zheng Shiru's situation is somewhat similar to that of the Xiang family. His father had some friendship with Ba Dao Yueshan. After Yueshan retired, Zheng Shiru's father was killed for unknown reasons. This matter was suspected to have something to do with the Yingui sect.

Zheng Shiru wanted to avenge his father, so he deliberately approached Bai Qing'er, the substitute saint of the Yin Gui sect, who was qualified to compete with Huan Huan, hoping to gain something.

Bai Qing'er had known Zheng Shiru's thoughts for a long time, but she did not expose them. The Yingui sect had too few capable people, and she needed Zheng Shiru's help in governing Xiangyang. Because the two used each other's interests, neither of them made the matter clear. It's a drama queen

…

It was raining continuously. In the Ganquan Temple, the monk Fahai was sitting in the pavilion of the mountain temple overlooking the foot of the mountain. He seemed to be chanting Buddhist scriptures and praying for blessings. But in fact, if someone can come closer, they will find that what he is talking about is related to Mrs. Qing.

"Zheng Shuming's husband died, and Zheng Shiru approached Bai Qing'er. Bai Qing'er seems to be interested in me. It seems that she has made a good start. I hope I can get a glimpse of the mystery of the magic of the devil..."

This monk Fahai is naturally Xu Xin who came to Xiangyang from Pegasus Ranch.

He and Shi Qingxuan lived happily in the "Gentle Township" of Pegasus Ranch for a long time. Then Qingxuan and others had to go to work, and some news came from Jingling. Xu decided to go on the road first, and by the way, he arranged a Fahai vest, ready to cause trouble here in Buddhism.

"Grandmaster!"

Xu Xin was reciting sutras and thinking, and suddenly his expression became solemn. After a moment, Zheng Shiru's voice came. This young scribe dressed in a blue shirt came with a smile.

"My men are here to report that the bridge at the foot of the mountain has been repaired, so you don't have to worry about the carriage being in danger."

"Amitabha, thank you so much, donor."

Xu Xin said to Zheng Shiru with a Buddha's name: "If the donor hadn't sent someone out in the rain this time, I'm afraid the stone bridge would never be repaired."

Zheng Shiru shook his head and said: "Master is too humble, but you are too polite. You replaced the stone foundation once before and solved part of the problem. I just sent someone to replace the stone foundation again."

“Almsgiver has mercy!”

Fahai still expressed his thanks, "The poor monk has no wealth. If the benefactor hadn't generously donated his money to buy a good stone foundation, the stone bridge issue would not have been solved so easily."

"hehe……"

Zheng Shiru said with a smile: "It's just a small amount of property, not as good as the master's act of charity. If the master is interested, it will not be difficult to buy a new stone foundation with the thanksgiving gifts of those nobles."

"Donor Zheng, the poor monk is not someone who seeks repayment for his kindness. Merits are linked to wealth, so it is not just a simple rescue."

Fahai just shook his head, seemingly not agreeing with Zheng Shiru's statement.

Zheng Shiru just shook his head when he saw this. After understanding Monk Fahai's thoughts, he knew that the two of them did have differences on some matters, which could not be explained by simply saying a few words.

"Master was sighing just now. He didn't know why? Is there anything Zheng can help me with?"

Zheng Shiru continued to look for topics. He decided to make friends with the monk in front of him. Naturally, he had to have more contact with him. If there was no topic, he would have to find one.

"Donor Zheng has a sharp eye."

Monk Fahai hesitated and then said: "Abbott Abbot just discussed with us monks that this rain may have destroyed many people's houses. We, the Buddha, are compassionate, and the poor monk wants to save all living beings.

However, Ganquan Temple is small and weak, and it is afraid that there will not be enough relief. Even if it is a porridge shop, it will not be able to open a few, which will be a drop in the bucket! "

"Master wants to help the victims. I have a solution for this matter..."

Zheng Shiru's eyes lit up. Qian Duguan was in charge of Xiangyang City now, and Bai Qing'er was secretly controlling everything. Of course, both of them were from the Yin Gui faction, so it was Yin Gui who controlled Xiangyang.

Xiangyang suffered from continuous rains, and there were indeed many victims. In the past, the imperial court was naturally responsible, but now that the Sui Dynasty was almost in trouble, it was naturally up to each locality to solve the problem themselves.

Qian Duguan is ready to wait for Jia to sell. Reputation is necessary, and relief is naturally a means.

Master Fa Hai has such a compassionate heart, so it is not difficult for the City Lord's Mansion to give him a face and increase efforts to ensure the relief effect.

…

After continuous rain, Xiangyang finally ushered in a cloudy day, and it stopped raining. Although it was still cool, at least there was no rain.

In this continuous rainy day for more than a month, some poor people's houses in Xiangyang and nearby areas were damaged and people suffered. The price of rice in the city has increased, and many people cannot afford to eat.

In the streets of Xiangyang City, several monks in monk's robes were serving porridge. When Zheng Shiru arrived, Fahai was also helping.

"Donor Zheng!"

When Fahai saw Zheng Shiru, he gave a slight salute, and then gave out porridge and steamed buns with a smile on his face. The porridge shop team ran out of food soon. Fortunately, probably all the hungry people at least had a bowl of porridge to drink, so they would not starve to death.

"Grandmaster!"

Zheng Shiru stepped forward and lowered his voice and said: "Tomorrow the city guard is going to arrange for people to distribute porridge and food in the south of the city to help the victims, but this is in the name of the city guard himself, not the city guard's office. Master, may you be interested in taking care of it."

Monk Fahai nodded naturally and said: "My Buddha is merciful and the city guard is merciful. This is Xiangyang's good fortune. It is the duty of this poor monk."

"Master is interested, this is the best thing."

Zheng Shiru also smiled and tried to win over the monk in front of him, but it was a task given to him by someone.

…

Early the next morning, a porridge shop was set up on the street outside Zangqing Pavilion in the south of the city.

Zangqing Pavilion is the residence of Mrs. Qing, the outer room of the city lord's palace. This Mrs. Qing is said to be beautiful and fragrant. She is the prisoner of the city lord Qian Duguan. She has never wanted to see outsiders. The city lord is very close to her and almost responds to her requests.

The porridge shop set up in the south of the city is quite large. The porridge prepared can be inserted into the chopsticks and is very thick. It is a good porridge during a disaster, plus white steamed buns and even some pickles.

The rains in the past few days have not affected much, and Xiangyang City is not too difficult. In fact, there are not many people who are completely without food.

However, the ability of most poor people to withstand stress is really weak. When they hear news about charity porridge shops, they will go to eat and drink. In the past, Ganquan Temple and other temples provided relief, and now it is the same in the south of the city.

Many victims and beggars gathered in the streets near Zangqing Pavilion in the south of the city.

At this time, the form of disaster relief was basically the same. A large spoonful of porridge, a small steamed bun, and some pickle leaves as side dishes. This was already considered a very good treatment.

Although the damage caused by the rain disaster was not very serious, and the number of people who lost their houses and affected their livelihoods was relatively small, many of the victims who came here were already disheveled and looked miserable.

This disaster not only caused the houses of some poor people to collapse, but the continuous rain also caused the beggars to lose their harvests and become skinny and bones.

Facing the relief, some of the victims were silent, some were grateful, and some were talking a lot... For this kind of relief, it is definitely necessary to gain some reputation, which is normal.

Zheng Shiru was fully responsible, so he naturally did not forget to promote Qian Duguan's reputation. In name, he was still a good subordinate of Qian Duguan, so he naturally had to consider his family.

The streets were noisy, and many victims were sitting and lying in the temporary shacks. They were all eating steamed buns and porridge.

Just when Zheng Shiru was getting on with the monk Fahela and were distributing food and porridge together, a beautiful figure walked out of the Zangqing Pavilion.

"Mr. Zheng!"

A cold voice came from behind, and many people stopped moving, including the hungry victims who were waiting for food... just because this lady was so beautiful.

"Mrs. Qing!"

Zheng Shiru turned his head and saluted Bai Qing'er.

Bai Qing'er returned the gift, and then said to Jiang Shaofeng, "Master Fahai!"

"Mrs. Qing!"

Monk Fahai nodded in greeting. Just seeing the strange color in Mrs. Qing's eyes, this was naturally noticed by Mrs. Qing.

After Bai Qing'er said hello, she joined the team distributing food, gaining a wave of sensation and the reputation of the female Bodhisattva.

A certain witch was also speechless. She never paid much attention to these false names and paid more attention to real interests. She never thought that one day she would be called a female Bodhisattva. You must know her origin, and she is a big enemy of Buddhism, and they have always been tit for tat.

Bai Qing'er passed out steamed buns before coming to another team. She held up the steamed buns with her delicate hands and gave them out. I don't know if they would be more fragrant. Anyway, they attracted a lot of people.

Monks Fahai and Zheng Shiru are still in the team here. One is giving porridge and the other is cooperating with the food distributor. They also talk a few words from time to time. It seems that some things need to be communicated carefully.

…

Late at night, Zangqing Pavilion.

Zangqing Pavilion is a large house with an interior and an exterior. There are vicious dogs patrolling the outer courtyard. However, because the mistress does not like vicious dogs, the servants do not allow the vicious dogs to enter the inner courtyard.

Inside the inner courtyard of Zangqing Pavilion is a courtyard decorated with a large garden. There are only pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. It is quiet and peaceful under the moonlight, and the scenery is moving.

The small building in the middle is the residence of the owner, while the small building on the left is a large study. The four treasures of the study and rice paper for writing are placed on the painting table. The four walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, giving it the atmosphere of a study.

But this person was late at night, with the full moon hanging high and the moonlight shining between the pavilions. Bai Qing'er slowly walked out of the door, walked to the garden pavilion, bent down and sat on the stone chair.

She put her elbows on the table to support her chin, but her thoughts went to nowhere. She had been a little upset these past two days, and contact with that monk made her feel uneasy.

The white-robed monk Fahai was so perfect that she had the urge to destroy him. She wanted to make him kneel at her feet.

Bai Qing'er's mind was racing, her mind was full of calculations and ideas, her clear eyes were a little dark, and she suddenly noticed the movement behind her, and then she came back to her senses. When he turned around and stood up, he saw Zheng Shiru walking towards him.

"Mrs. Qing!"

Zheng Shiru's actions have always been so respectful. This is one of the things Bai Qing'er likes to use him for. Even if the other person has other intentions, she still likes to use this capable guy.

"The master has arranged to live in the outer courtyard?"

Bai Qing'er is straight to the point. When she sees someone alone in power, she likes to be straightforward and enjoys the pleasure of being in power.

Zheng Shiru bowed and said, "The arrangements have been made."

"How is Zheng Shuming doing over there?"

Bai Qing'er thought for a while and asked about Zheng Shuming from the Dajiang League.

A trace of imperceptible love flashed in Zheng Shiru's eyes, and he lowered his head and gave a formal report, saying: "It's still the same as before. She is now focused on avenging Jiang Ba, and is collecting news about Ba Fenghan everywhere, waiting to be surrounded. Kill this grassland thief."

Since Ba Fenghan, a young master from the grasslands, entered the Central Plains, he has killed countless people along the way, and has earned a strong reputation. He is known as one of the top masters of the younger generation, along with Kou Zhong in Yangzhou Double Dragon and Shadow Assassin Yang Xu. Yan, the passionate young master Hou Xibai and others are equally famous.

The enmity between Dajiang League and Ba Fenghan originated from the late leader of Dajiang League, Jiang Ba. At first, Jiang Ba accepted a friend's request and wanted to set up a fight, but after his one-on-one defeat with Ba Fenghan, his old injury relapsed and he died. Now, the Dajiang Alliance and Ba Fenghan have developed a grudge.

The Dajiang Alliance is an alliance of a group of gangs. Although it is not among the eight gangs and ten guilds, its comprehensive power is more powerful than a simple top gang. The real controller of the Dajiang Alliance is actually the widow of Jiang Ba of the Dajiang Alliance. Zheng Shuming.

When Jiang Ba died, Zheng Shuming was naturally extremely angry. He gathered Dajiang League troops to surround and kill Ba Fenghan many times, forcing him into desperate situations several times.

"Zheng Shuming still wants to avenge Jiang Ba. He can't let go of a man. It's really stupid."

Bai Qing'er hates the fact that iron cannot become steel. She actually admires Zheng Shuming's leadership ability. As a woman, she made all the factions of the Jiang League surrender. This skill and ability are really amazing. Looking at the entire world, she has once been defeated. Gang Qiao's military advisor Shen Luoyan was even better than him.

But after Jiang Ba's death, Zheng Shuming's way of seeking revenge so far made her look down on him.

The Yingui Sect is headed by women, and Bai Qing'er is the most powerful person. At least for now, she doesn't think the relationship between men and women is meaningful, and she doesn't think Zheng Shuming's determination to seek revenge is a good idea.

"I'm tired, you go down!"

After Bai Qing'er talked to Zheng Shiru for a while, she waved her hand for Zheng Shiru to leave. The latter bowed, turned and left the room.

Bai Qing'er walked out of the room with thoughts racing in her heart. Naturally, she arranged everything during the day in order to get closer to the monk named Fahai.

She walked out of the small pavilion and stood on the railing, looking at the door in a daze.

What she was thinking about now was Monk Fahai during the day. Even she didn't know why she cared so much about a monk. Was it because of the calm and calm look on that monk's face when he looked at her? Eyes without obsession?

Speaking of which, no man had ever looked at her with such an expression.

This was a very unfamiliar experience that made her want to continue experiencing it.

In the past, when she was in the Yingui sect, the two pervert elders Bian Fulai and Pi Shouxuan, as well as Fa Nan and Qian Duguan, were all the same people. Some of them even pretended to be on the outside, but without exception, there was a hint of lust in their eyes. With that evil heat.

Since she started her travels and came to Xiangyang, she has met all kinds of characters. Almost no man can escape her charm.

The only exception should be Zheng Shiru, who is hiding his thoughts. He has always been wary of himself. But he had already figured out the details of this person. His father had a grudge against the Yingui sect, and this guy had no good intentions in approaching him.

Sometimes when she pretends to be seductive, the man will lose his mind for a moment, which shows that his heart is not so firm.

She has always been quick to use and guard against Zheng Shiru, using his ability to manage Xiangyang and preventing him from being harmful to herself and the Yingui faction, mainly for herself. In Bai Qing'er's view, her own interests are higher than anything else.
