    The sun had already set in the west, and it was time to close the city gate.  Zhao Shitou stood at the gate of the city, glanced at the sunset in the sky, and said, "Prepare to close the gate."

    The puppet army that originally guarded here has been suddenly killed by the little devil, but the gate of the city must always be guarded.  Moreover, in order to attract the Eighth Route Army martial arts team to come forward and throw themselves into the net, Okawa Hideyoshi deliberately relaxed the defense at the top of the city, trying to make the Eighth Route Army look like they had relaxed their vigilance.  The best way is to change the puppet army to defend the city.  So Zhao Shitou was sent over.

    Originally the captain of the security team in the city, Zhao Shitou was almost shot dead by the little devil because of his dereliction of duty.  At the critical moment, Zhao Shitou's concubine, Widow Hu, successfully guided the little devil to capture Li Xiangyang's old lady, which was a great achievement.  With this credit, the little devil finally let bygones be bygones.  Of course, this is also to appease the emotions of the puppet soldiers.  After all, it's okay for little devils to kill and gain power, but if they scare all these people away, the loss outweighs the gain. They need servants.  Sending Zhao Shitou to the top of the city to see the city gate now also shows the attitude of the little devil.  Those who have merit will be rewarded, and those who make mistakes will be punished.  Only in this way can the morale of the puppet army be regained.  As long as you can make meritorious service, you will be rewarded.  You must know that guarding the city gate is a very lucrative job.

    However, it may be because of something that happened recently.  There were not many people entering and leaving the city gate, and at this time Zhao Shitou was not in the mood to guard the city gate and search for oil and water, he was a little absent-minded.

    Widow Hu has changed since she met Okawa Hideyoshi, her eyes are full of anticipation.  Zhao Shitou was familiar with Widow Hu, and knew that Widow Hu was tempted, which made him a little annoyed.  His woman actually ran to throw herself into someone else's arms, but he couldn't say anything yet.  After all, he was able to live a decent life again, thanks to the news of Widow Hu.  if not.  He might have been killed by the little devil now.

    Just as he was about to close the city gate, at this moment, a wandering monk appeared on the road outside.  The monk was wearing a ragged robe.  He was holding a broken big flower bowl in his hand.  Coming in the direction of the city gate.

    Seeing this monk, Zhao Shitou felt a contemptuous thought in his heart.  In this year, there is chaos.  Even monks in temples can no longer chant scriptures properly.  Many temples were destroyed, and those monks became wandering wild monks.

    This monk always wants to live, not everyone can abide by the precepts, so seeing that they can't survive, there will be some monks who are not willing to beg for alms, and maybe they will do some things that violate the law and discipline.  If the monk entered the city, it might be possible, but it would add unsafe factors to the city, so Zhao Shitou wanted to lock the monk out of the city.

    "Hurry up, close the city gate!" Zhao and Shitou shouted.

    But it was very strange, that monk walked so fast, it was like flying. He was still far away just now, but now he suddenly arrived at the city gate.  At this moment, the city gate was being creakingly closed, but this monk stood at the gate, raised his right hand and folded his palms together, and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk is passing by here. If you want to stay overnight, please make it easy for me."  .¡±

    "No, there are many villages outside the city. Find someone to live in outside your city. The county town is not where a wild monk like you can come." Zhao Shitou shouted.

    Having said that, Zhao Shitou ordered his men to close the city gate.  But a strange thing happened. Several men tried their best to push the city gate, but the city gate remained motionless.  Just at the gate of the city, the monk stood still like an iron tower.

    At this moment, Zhao Shitou finally realized that something was wrong.  This monk is very evil, isn't it just an ordinary wild monk, but an eminent monk who wandered here?

    Thinking of this, through the crack of the door, Zhao Shitou asked: "Dare to ask Master's name?"

    "The poor monk's name is Xu Zhu." Monk Wei started to show off here, just now whether it is fast running or strong strength, it was all trained by him, a monk, on Wutai Mountain. Now it's okay to use it to play tricks.

    To talk about the eminent monks on Wutai Mountain, Monk Wei certainly knows it clearly, and he can just name one of them. However, in order to avoid accidents, he decided to take a dharma name alone.  The name of a Zen master is taboo, somewhat profane.

    Just like this era, many big families are named according to their seniority.  On Wutai Mountain, seniority is also ranked according to different dharma titles, and the word "generation" is a very high seniority.

    Now hearing Wei Dayong say that his Dharma name is Xu Zhu, Zhao Shitou immediately became clever: "Excuse me, what is the relationship between Master and Zen Master Xu Yun?"

    Others Zhao Shitou did not know, but Zhao Shitou heardIt has passed Zen master Xuyun's.  This is a famous monk on Mount Wutai.

    Zen Master Xuyun became a monk at the age of 19, and went to Yongquan Temple in Gushan, Fuzhou at the age of 20; at the age of 40, he wanted to worship Mount Wutai, so he lit incense at Fahua Temple in Mount Putuo, worshiped every three steps, and walked like this for three years.  Walked to Mount Wutai and saw the golden face of Manjusri Bodhisattva.  He returned to Caoxi at the age of ninety-five to rebuild Nanhua and rejuvenate Yunmen.  The current Zen master Xu Yun is already a hundred years old and is respected by the world.

    "He is the brother of the poor monk." Wei Dayong said.

    "So it's Zen Master Xuyun's younger brother. Disrespect, disrespectful!" How dare Zhao Shitou reject Wei Dayong, this is the younger brother of an eminent monk, so naturally he is also an eminent monk.

    Thinking about the monk just now, it is indeed weird.  From such a long distance, he came over in a whiz, like flying.  Now at the gate of the city, with such great power, one person can block the gate from closing.  It is conceivable how powerful this monk is. I don't know Mount Tai, but I actually stop such an eminent monk from entering the city. It is my honor that he can come.

    But what good does it do me to know such a monk?  Zhao Shitou's eyes lit up instantly, and now many people in the imperial army have died.  If you invite this eminent monk to do a ritual for them, wouldn't that be a great show of loyalty in front of the imperial army?

    Thinking of this, Zhao Shitou asked cautiously: "Master, would you like to do a ritual for the dead souls in the city? If you are willing, I will be very grateful. Incense money is indispensable."

    Wei Dayong glanced at him: "The poor monk is outside the city, and he saw the black air rising here. Obviously there is something unclean, so I came here in person. Take the poor monk there."  : www.hlnovel.com
