Chapter 22 Cloth Clay Sculpture Knowing Autumn Leaves

Monk Dao Ning from Shifang Temple cursed and walked down the mountain, feeling unlucky.

After Ye Chang came last time, Chunxin's first seat looked at Dao Ning, and felt that the reason why he did not act according to Ye Chang's plan was because Chunxin always said bad things about Ye Chang behind his back - Chunxin is not a Buddhist monk, at least not very powerful, so he likes to blame others for his own responsibilities.

As a result, Dao Ning's original hot position in the temple was somewhat out of control. For many days, the head of the city did not give him a good face and even asked him to do the heavy work of cutting money and carrying water. He was so tired that he was out of breath. If he had not thought about the benefits of the temple's production in the future, he would have run back to Xiaoliu Village long ago.

All of this was caused by Ye Chang. It was not Ye Chang, so there was no such trouble at all!

Dao Ning was cursing Ye Chang. He carried the firewood and turned over a corner of the mountain. He happened to see Ye Chang coming. He immediately threw the firewood and held the hatchet and cursed angrily: "Ye Shiyilang, you, the plague guy who was killed by the broom star, dare to come up the mountain?"

Yuan Highway and Brother Qian came up the mountain. Seeing the lush trees and the fragrance of birds and flowers, the two were in a much better mood. They were asking the allusion of Ye Chang's Shifang Temple, who was leading the way, but unexpectedly an evil monk jumped out of the way. The two were startled first, and then Brother Qian laughed: "Ye Chang, how hatred are you? So people shouting and beating everywhere?"

Ye Chang looked calm and bowed, "This monk is named Dao Ning, and the layman is the nephew of Liu Lizheng just now."

One sentence made Yuan Gaolu and Brother Qian understand that it was not that others were not good at character, but that the Liu family hated him to the core. When Yuan Gaolu heard that it was the nephew of Liu Fengyin, he was displeased. After the incident just now, the servants around him were prepared and immediately held a sword in his hand and shouted: "The bold wild monk, you won't be polite when you see the county magistrate!"

When Dao Ning heard that he was a county magistrate, he was shocked, threw away his knife, abandoned his firewood, bowed randomly and turned around and ran away, shouting as he ran: "The disaster is here, the disaster is here!"

As soon as the county magistrate came, the case was a case. He thought it was OK. But the mistake was that he shouted out what he was thinking, as if the county magistrate was a disaster. Brother Qian laughed again, while Yuan Highway was almost angry. Fortunately, Ye Chang was understanding at this time and smiled: "When he talked about the wild monk, I don't know when he heard a wild monk's interesting story when he walked down."

"oh?"

"After a scholar from a country visits a temple, he saw a temple and went inside to worship Buddha for tea. The temple was vulgar and stingy. Seeing that his appearance was not good, his clothes were shabby, he was very cold when he was hospitalized. He only waited for the word "sitting" and "tea". The monk below understood and did not come to serve tea for a long time. The scholar was bored in the tea, so he talked about the ancient and modern allusions with the guests. The monk was surprised by his talent and asked the scholar to "sitting for tea". The monk then went to cook. After the guest asked for the name of the scholar, he knew that the talented scholar was from the sea. He jumped up and exclaimed, and bowed to the scholar, saying, "please sit down," and ordered the monk to "stood for tea."

No one knew about this allusion at this time. Yuan Highway and Brother Qian couldn't help but sigh when they heard this. But then Ye Chang said: "Later, the scholar in the sea said goodbye, and the monk asked him to write a poem on the wall. He wrote six words "Sit, please sit, please sit" on the left side of the temple gate, and six words "Tea, tea, and incense tea" on the right side of the temple gate, and then laughed and left..."

Yuan Highway and Brother Qian suddenly burst into laughter. Yuan Highway pointed at Ye Chang and said, "The scholar in the country is a snob. You kid are also a snob!"

Brother Qian next to him was inevitably filled with a hint of bitterness in his smile. He was also a scholar in China, with a very famous poem and was moved for a while, but because he was not successful in the imperial examination, he was a little sloppy. He had encountered what Ye Chang said more than once.

After laughing, Chun Xin, the first monk in Shifang Temple, stumbled out with a monk. The monk who was shouting "The disaster is coming" just now had a handprint on his face. Yuan Highway and Brother Qian laughed again, and Chun Xin was inexplicably laughing.

"I have something to bother with Lao Gui Temple today, and I will borrow the statue of Weituo, the Buddha Temple." After Chunxin saw the ceremony, Ye Chang looked at the old monk and Taoist with a smile.

Chunxin shivered in fear.

Last time, he did not perform the script according to Ye Chang's arrangement, and the last good show was ruined by him. Originally, Wei Tuo Xiansheng could summon many incenses to Shifang Temple, but the effect was not half as expected. More importantly, Chunxin understood that Ye Chang, a young man, was really a revenge, and he was not easy to take advantage of!

After that, the successful water diversion of Hongqu water made Chunxin regret it. Originally, there were also contributions from their Shifang Temple, but now there is no benefit at all. On the contrary, just because Ye Chang's words were inspired by a Taoist, the incense of the Medicine King Temple on the other side of the mountain was twice as good!

It really made Chunxin envious, jealous and hateful, but that was not the end. Now Ye Chang brought the county magistrate to "borrow the statue of the gods" and it was clearly to settle the score.

Chunxin wanted to refuse, but he saw the county magistrate present and did not have the courage. Behind him, Dao Ning covered his face that was slapped and murmured: "I just said that it's a disaster..."

Then he was almost beaten again.

Ye Chang asked Chunxin for some things, asked him to take out the cloth curtain, cover the statue of Weitu from head to toe, and then sent Daoning to bring a few basins of clear water, and then prayed silently in front of the statue of Weitu. He was amused and interesting in his eyes when he saw Yuan Highway and Brother Qian, but there was a mysterious color in the eyes of the other people who followed him. Then, Ye Chang got into the cloth curtain, and everyone watched his figure and supported the curtain, and turned around the statue nine times.

When he came out again, his expression was already solemn.

"I have prayed silently to the Bodhisattva, seeking the arrival of the Bodhisattva's incarnation. In order to prevent being impacted by the popularity, I use a curtain to block it." Ye Chang left the statue for a few steps, and then said to everyone: "After the Bodhisattva's incarnation has arrived, you should respect me and not make loud noises!"

His appearance made Yuan Gaolu and Brother Qian confused. Ye Chang asked them to burn incense and worship Buddha. They respected them as they said, following the habit of Chinese people worshiping gods. They did not think so, but when the people around them saw this scene, their trust in Ye Chang's words changed from five points to nine points.

The reason was nothing. Seeing that "big figures" like the county magistrate and his friends believed as they said, then there was no ordinary people who would not follow up. Suddenly, people saluted one after another. Ye Chang saw that one of them also began to salutate, and he felt confident.

"After a while, the twelve people I ordered will circle the statue one by three times, and then enter the inner hand to touch the statue - the person who used magic to steal the gold and silver deeds in the box, had evil intentions and evil hands. If you touch the golden body, you will definitely be unwilling to the Bodhisattva and will be thundered to the sky." Ye Chang said in a deep voice: "Wait for a moment and you will see the conclusion!"

"What if...what if no one was hit by the sky thunder?" Ye Lian asked in a trembling voice among the crowd.

"If no one punishes the Bodhisattva, then I am a demon. I am a demon. I am a demon. I will ask the county magistrate to punish me for my crime!" Ye Chang said firmly.

He said so firmly that no one dared to doubt it.

After a while, Liu Fengyin brought the twelve people named. Most of the twelve people were servants and maids of Ye Lian's family. Yuan Gaolu nodded slightly after asking about their identities. Although Ye Chang's method of judging them by ghosts and gods was salivating, picking out these twelve people was similar to Yuan Gaolu's own idea. This case of theft was done by the internal thief.

Ye Lian stepped forward to explain the situation to them. The twelve people looked different, but most of them were panic. Seeing that everyone knew how to do it, Ye Chang went forward to salute the Yuan Highway and said, "Shao Mansion, time has arrived. Please let me do it."

"Go." Yuan Highway nodded.

Ye Chang turned his face and looked at everyone, reiterated the rules, and then said, "I will start to call the name. All the people who were ordered into the curtain one by one. After turning three times, they will come out from the statue of the god - Uncle, please help me if you have something else."

Ye Dan, who was staring blankly next to him, was also confused at this moment. He said in fear: "What's the matter?"

"You are on the side of the statue of God. After three rounds, you will take them out." Ye Chang said loudly, then leaned into Ye Dan's ear and whispered.

No one heard this sentence. Ye Dan looked confused and took two Ye children to the statue. Then he seemed to feel a little disrespectful to the statue, so he saluted the statue there.

Ye Chang did not care about him anymore, but looked at the twelve people. As he stared at him, the twelve people lowered their eyebrows.

During this period, the story of Ye Chang meeting the immortal was mysterious in Wu Zepi. Most of the twelve people were servants of the third wing. After learning about Ye Chang's differences, they were inevitably afraid. Ye Chang looked at them for a while, waited for everyone to calm down, and then ordered one person.

The person who was pointed trembled all over and raised his head as if asking for help. He glanced at the county magistrate Yuan Highway. Yuan Highway was calm and silent. The man could only move step by step, walk towards the statue, and then drilled into the curtain.

The curtain was very dark, and only a few shadows were seen. The man touched the statue's feet in fear, as if there was a poisonous snake in front of his hand, and he was ready to pull his hand back at any time. He almost held his breath before following Ye Chang's request, he turned around the statue three times, and then listened to Ye Dan's voice, guiding him out from behind.

Everyone else was ahead, so no one saw him going out, but he heard him cheering, obviously happy that he had not been punished by the Bodhisattva.

Dao Ning was also holding his breath, but he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief at this time. He was a person with no memory and said sarcastically: "The Bodhisattva tried a case? I have been a monk for ten years, and I have never heard of a Bodhisattva who will try a case. What is the little thief of the Ye family who is a Bodhisattva? He actually wants the Bodhisattva to try a case for him?"

Chunxin "Amitabha" chanted the Buddha's name and glared at him, feeling more and more disgusted with him: The matter has not yet come to an end, and I am so anxious to speak. It is really difficult for this guy to take the big responsibility. It can even be said that he will only cause trouble for Shifang Temple!

If a new monk comes here, he should just send this guy away.

Dao Ning didn't know that he had not been in Shifang Temple for much time. He was proud and still waiting to talk about it. Ye Chang had already swept his cold eyes: "If the Bodhisattva does not investigate the case, it must be because someone present disrespects the Bodhisattva. If you don't want to be slapped, just shut up and go away!"

Dao Ning was afraid of the county magistrate, muttered to the point of relying on the power of the people, and then shut up.

Ye Chang then called the second person's name, then the third person and the fourth person. Everyone drilled into the curtain and circled the statue of the Bodhisattva God three times, and then drilled out from behind. After they drilled out, Ye Dan stopped him from making a sound and stood quietly.

When the first six people were still quiet, but at the beginning of the seventh, someone whispered. Ye Chang opened the folding fan again, shook it gently, and said with a calm look: "It seems that the thief is among the remaining five people, and it will be clear soon. Please be calm. By the way, I don't know whether the Bodhisattva descended the heavenly thunder or emitted the divine fire to kill the thief..."

He spoke easily, and the remaining five people changed their expressions. When each of them was clicked, they were as if they were on the execution ground, and when they came out from behind the Bodhisattva statue, they were as if they were reborn. After all the twelve people passed by, there was nothing unusual. Everyone immediately discussed, even if they were close to Ye Chang, they looked at Ye Chang with strange eyes.

Perhaps only Ye Chang himself remains the same.

"It's him, this kind of bad guy. It's indeed the magic he used. In front of the Bodhisattva, his magic was uneasy, so his true form was revealed!" Liu shouted frantically.

"Master of the Young Mansion, please catch this unfilial son!" This is Ye Lian roaring.

Liu Fengyinze just smiled flatteringly and came up to Yuan Highway and said: "Master Shaofu, look at the public opinion..."

Yuan Highway is almost going to get scalp at this time.

Deep in his heart, others tend to be Ye Chang, but Ye Chang said too much before, and the Bodhisattva's case review is too mysterious. Even if he is determined to protect him, he will have no choice but to do anything.

"Well... Ye Chang, what else do you have to say?"

Everyone calmed down for the time being, waiting for Ye Chang's response. Ye Chang bowed and bowed: "Your Majesty, the Bodhisattva has already cut off the thief."

"Ah?" Everyone did not expect that at this time, he was still stubborn. Even Yuan Highway was extremely unhappy. If Ye Chang admitted his defeat and admitted his mistakes at this time, he could punish him lightly, but in this way, he was clearly a troublemaker who never changed his mind!

Those who are officials hate the most are the troublemakers!

"Bold... Cough!" Yuan Gaolu shouted, but found that his arm was being pulled off. He turned around and found that it was Brother Qian who was winking at him.

Yuan Highway knew that his friend's literary talent was a temporary choice, and he was alert and had a lot of wisdom. He winked, and must have intentions. Although he didn't know his true intention for a while, Yuan Highway had been an official for several years and had learned how to suck in and swallow back the things he spit out - this was originally a talent shared by all officials in the world and abroad throughout the ages.

"Bold, what do you mean? I won't tell you to everyone. Could it be that I have to wait for me to say it for you?" Yuan Gaolu continued after coughing.

Ye Chang laughed and said, "I know my mistake when I go down. This means who is punished by the Bodhisattva, is a real thief."
