First, I mixed black dog blood, cockscomb, salt and the bottom ash of the pot and applied them on the pagoda stump. These things contain a lot of Yang Qi. In an instant, the surface of the pagoda stump is like water vapor, releasing white smoke.

I took the opportunity to pull out the ghost and God chopping twin sabres, and used all my strength to chop the pagoda tree stump. This time, there was no obstacle where the twin sabres passed, and it was very smooth to completely cut the pagoda tree stump!

I gently poked away the earth below, and an old VAT suddenly emerged. The VAT was made of clay, and the whole body was dark.

I was overjoyed and thought that this time I had found it!

Yes, it's the sitting jar used by wordless mage to store the remains.

Li Mazi helped to dig out the whole cylinder with a shovel and asked curiously: "normal people lie in coffins after death. How could this old monk choose to sit in the cylinder? If you die, you should meditate. You can't be too tired to panic. "

I flicked the forehead of Pockmarked Li: "don't talk in front of the master."

Then, I explained to Pockmarked Li the origin of the body Buddha.

According to legend, the founder of Zen has two disciples, one is called Hongren and the other is Huineng. The two disciples were both well versed in Buddhism, but they had differences in the study of Buddhism, so the Zen master ordered them to go to the south to spread Buddhism and the north to spread Buddhism.

Since then, Buddhism has been divided into the South and the north. This is what we often say about Shaolin in the South and Shaolin in the north.

Northern Buddhism pays attention to cremation. Can eminent monks burn Buddhist relics after their death to determine whether they can become Buddhas?

The Southern Buddhism stresses sitting in a vat. The southern monks will eat less and drink less for three months before they die. In the last week, even a grain of rice and a mouthful of water can't be eaten. When they die, they will be put into a vat and buried for three years. If their body doesn't rot after three years, they will become Buddhists.

After listening to my explanation, Pockmarked Li and boss Bai shook their heads. Boss Bai said with emotion, "people of faith are really cruel to themselves. How many people can do things like hunger strike?"

Li Mazi summed up a sentence very simply and roughly: "so, the old monk died of hunger!"

I rolled my eyes and didn't want to talk to him anymore.

After the Buddha was dug out, Li Ma waved a few times with a flashlight. It seemed that something in the soil reflected white light.

I asked Pockmarked Li to take a closer look, and suddenly a thin white skeleton appeared in front of us.

I immediately guessed about the snake demon.

It turns out that my guess is correct. When we clean up the soil on the skeleton, we find that it is indeed a snake skeleton.

"Oh, no!" "What should I do, brother Zhang, sister-in-law?" cried Pockmarked Li

I breathed out a deep breath: "as long as the matter here is solved, the new moon will come back naturally.". Am I right, master speechless With that, I bent my five fingers and knocked on the cylinder.

An empty Buddha's name came from the jar, which seemed to answer my question.

After tying the vat with ropes, Pockmarked Li buried the snake bone on the spot according to my instructions. He shoveled the earth and said, "this monster's bone is worth a lot of money! It's a pity we can't take it away, otherwise we can make a small fortune. "

After resting for a while, Pockmarked Li did not turn back. "Do you think so?"

But we didn't answer him, because now in front of us are a group of villagers with axes, wood knives, kitchen knives and torches.

As was the case yesterday afternoon, under the leadership of the village head, a group of villagers confronted us with various weapons.

But different from yesterday afternoon, the villagers' eyes were full of fear and uneasiness. At that time, they were afraid of destroying the Fengshui stone to bring disaster to the village. But now, these villagers' eyes were full of greed.

The villagers are not fools. Over the years, there have been many antique merchants who have collected things. They all know that the Buddha sitting in the VAT is very valuable.

When Pockmarked Li saw that we didn't pay any attention to him, he quickly turned around and said, "Oh, how do you..."

When he saw the scene in front of him, he swallowed what he had just said, and his mouth was open enough to swallow an entire egg.

"Hey, boss Zhang, you are not enough! Come to our village and look for treasure without a word The village head stared at the sitting tank Buddha beside me, and said with a strange smile on his face: "you should know that this sitting tank Buddha is something to protect the safety of the Yin village. If you take it away, what can we do for more than 100 people in the village?"

I'm born with a stupid mouth. If someone chokes me, I won't speak. What's more, I'm ridiculed by the village head. Immediately, my mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't say a word.

Fortunately, boss Bai is well-informed and grew up in this village. He immediately cleared the way for me: "everyone misunderstood that what's in the tank is not a Buddha at all, but a snake demon, which has killed no son in the village."

"Nonsense, where is the snake demon from the village?" All of a sudden, a loud female voice came, and then the crowd automatically moved out of the way.I saw the village head's wife running over like a strong wind.

The village head's wife is not tall and has a big stomach, but her legs are thin. Her face is black and red because of the wind and sun all the year round.

She pointed at me and swore that I was a turtle and a bastard, and that we were thieves and robbers. In a word, the scolding is very bad.

The villagers' mood was so driven by the village head's wife that they all rose up and accused me one after another, completely forgetting who saved them yesterday?

In the end, some villagers could not help but feel excited and picked up the stones and threw them at us!

There were so many stones whistling towards my head that I had to flash aside. In the end, the four of us tried to avoid, but they were hit by several stones.

The scene began to get out of control. Boss Bai took us straight to the foot of the mountain. He grew up here and was very familiar with the local terrain. Under the leadership of boss Bai, we went back to Bai's house along a path on the mountain, carrying a vat of flesh Buddha.

However, it was not long before we escaped to Bai's house, so the villagers got the news and blocked the door of Bai's house with torches.

But none of these villagers dared to rush in, but they kept calling old Bai at the door. I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. I can see that old white has a very high prestige among the villagers.

Pockmarked Li was so nervous that he smoked one cigarette after another and kept pacing the hall of the White House.

"Brother Zhang, it's hard to do." Li Mazi frowned and said: "if people are greedy, they are more terrible than ghosts! How can the four of us fight with the villagers of No. 100? If you want me to say it, let it go. "
