This means that he will confront Cheng Jiao again.

In the afternoon, Gu Lingze mobilized the whole family to use cinnabar to help him copy the scriptures. He and Gu Feirui, who didn't like writing the most, went to the largest temple outside the capital, Tanxi Temple.

"Lingze, are you a Taoist priest going to a Buddhist temple?" Gu Feirui sat there scratching his head, "Aren't there any taboos?"

Gu Lingze glanced at him angrily, "Buddhism and Taoism belong to the same family, have the same origin but different fruits, haven't you heard this sentence?"

"I really haven't heard of it."

"Buddhism and Taoism are based on the same family, which means that both advocate the cultivation of mind and nature, and the accumulation of goodness and virtue."

"What about the difference?"

"The difference is that the original meaning of Buddhism is to be unrestrained, pointing directly to the awareness of the human heart, and advocating the enlightenment of all living beings, while Taoism advocates inaction, letting nature take its course, and not interfering with everything."

"Then your faction doesn't care about anything?"

Gu Lingze poked his forehead, "I don't care what I want, you've been belching a long time ago, why would you have the opportunity to sit here and ask these stupid questions."

"What does burp mean?"

"..."

There are many believers in Tanxi Temple, and there are many pilgrims who come to offer incense every day. As soon as Gu Lingze entered, he asked the little monk beside him, "Can I ask to see the abbot?"

The little novice looked Gu Lingze up and down, folded his hands together and said, "The abbot is in the process of cleaning up. Please come back another day."

This is just an excuse, Gu Feirui became anxious when he heard it, "Then when will your abbot not clean up?"

"This, the little monk doesn't know."

"you……"

Gu Lingze stopped Gu Feirui and told him to back off, but he whispered a word to the little monk.

The little novice glared at him angrily, turned around and ran to the Buddhist temple behind.

"Hey, why did this little bald head run away!"

"He's gone to call the abbot." The corners of Gu Lingze's mouth curled up.

After a while, the little monk ran over again, put his palms together and bowed, "Almsgiver, the abbot invites you to the meditation room among the bamboo forests."

Gu Lingze and Gu Feirui arrived at a bamboo forest in the direction pointed by the little monk, and there was a small wooden house in the bamboo forest.

Gu Lingze stepped forward and knocked on the door. There was a voice of 'please come in' from inside, and he pushed the door open and entered.

As soon as I entered, I saw a monk sitting on a futon on the ground, his back was facing them, and there was a Buddhist altar in front of him.

"Where did the benefactor come from?"

"From nowhere."

"Where are you going?"

"Go somewhere."

Gu Feirui looked at the two people's back and forth conversation in a daze, understood all the words, but didn't understand the meaning.

At this time, the abbot who was sitting on the ground stood up, turned to face them, and put his hands together.

"The poor monk's name is Minghai." The abbot's eyes were bright and wise, and he had a benevolent and kind-hearted expression.

"Master Minghai." Gu Lingze and Gu Feirui returned a salute.

"What is the meaning of what the benefactor said before?"

"Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva once said, 'Hell is not empty, and you will never become a Buddha'. Later generations, grateful for the power of Bodhisattva's vows, said that Buddhist Mahayana people have a compassionate heart."

"Nowadays, evil and sycophants are in power, does the master also want to practice here and choose to turn a blind eye?"

Ming Hai read his words silently, then immediately closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the poor monk is ashamed."

"The poor monk originally only wanted to devote himself to the Buddha and educate all living beings, but he never thought about it but ignored the crucial point."

Ming Hai bowed deeply to him, "The benefactor punishes rape and eradicates evil, and the poor monk will definitely help him with all his strength."

In the end, Gu Lingze took away from Tanxi Temple a string of Buddhist beads and the most popular incense burner belonging to Zen Master Ming Hai.

On the way back, Gu Feirui leaned over again, "What did you tell that little novice that the abbot saw you as soon as he sent the message?"

"I told him to ask your abbot if he will enter hell."

Gu Feirui sucked in a breath of air, "You are really good enough, if they didn't come out and beat you with a stick, it would be a face to me."

Gu Lingze gave him a blank look and didn't want to talk to him.

"Then you say Mahayana Buddhism is 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell', what about your Taoists?"

"Ai Xinxin, don't believe me, don't disturb my ascension."

"..."

After Gu Lingze went back, he put away the "Nine Heavens Yingyuan Leisheng Puhua Tianzun Yushu Treasure Sutra" that everyone had copied, and pasted it all on the doors and windows after blessing.

"Mother, let all the servants and maids in the family go home first, and give money to those who don't have a home, and let them go to the inn. In short, they can't stay in the mansion."

Xie Qingwan hurriedly followed his instructions, and Gu Xiuyi also took Xie Xiru and the others over at this time.

Cheng Jiao is cruel, he can't take any risk.

At this time, the eldest prince Qi Junhuai ran over anxiously, "Master Gu, my father-in-law fainted again!"

After Gu Lingze got his pulse, he told Qi Junhuai that the most urgent task now is to find the Gu worm of the Golden Silkworm Gu, otherwise without Cheng Jiao's antidote, the Queen will be doomed in three days.

Before dark, everyone gathered in the queen's bedroom, where dry food and water were prepared.

"You must all be careful."

"Mother, don't worry, we must all come back in one piece."

Gu Lingze sprinkled realgar powder around the house, checked the doors and windows again, locked the door and set off.

This time it was still the four of them. Before leaving, Gu Lingze gave each of them a small bottle, which contained cinnabar mixed with his blood.

"If you come across something inhuman, put the cinnabar in this bottle on your weapons."

The three of them nodded and took it and put it away next to each other.

Gu Lingze took out Zen Master Minghai's string of Buddhist beads, broke the string, took out four paper cranes, put one on each, and threw them into the air. The four paper cranes quickly flew in four directions: east, west, north, south.

"What are we doing now?" Gu Feirui asked.

"Wait."

After about a stick of incense, the four paper cranes all flew back,

Gu Lingze looked at it in his hand, put away the other three, and threw only one back into the air.

"Follow it."

The four of them followed the paper crane quickly and came to a remote courtyard in the west, where the paper crane fell to the ground.

Gu Lingze pushed the door and found that it was locked, so he took a step back and looked at Zhao Chengmo.

The other party stepped forward and kicked open the door, and the four of them walked in, only to find that it was pitch black inside.

Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the air, the sound was very pleasant, but there was also an indescribably eerie feeling.

"Come out!" Gu Lingze shouted angrily.

As soon as the words were finished, the surrounding lights were suddenly brightly lit, and the four of them squinted their eyes uncomfortably.

An eight or nine-year-old boy stood facing them in the yard. The boy closed his eyes and held a steel knife in his hand.

Gu Lingze watched the evil spirit on his body soar to the sky, and told the other three to be more vigilant.
