Chapter 122: Spirit Turtle Calculation
The third among the Seven Heroes of the Capital?
Zhou Zhilu looked at Su Banyun beside him in surprise.
Su Banyun simply smiled and said, "The Seven Heroes of the Capital is nothing more than a false title imposed by a bunch of vain people. I am just a guard of a respectable family in the capital."
Guard?
Zhou Zhilu was a little puzzled when he heard this.
However, Su Banyun did not intend to explain. Instead, he looked at Fusu and said, "Master Fusu, I came to Xuanqing Temple to pray for peace and happiness."
Fusu took a bite of the apple and asked in surprise, "What's going on? Are you going to defect from your family? Why do you need to come here specifically to pray for peace and blessings?"
Su Banyun was silent for a moment, then whispered, "If Taoist Fusu ever gets himself killed because of what he said, I will definitely rush to his side."
"Oh? Come to save me? As expected..."
"Come and watch the show!"
“…”
Su Banyun then explained that the purpose of praying for peace and blessings was to give them to others.
Fusu raised his eyebrows and couldn't help asking, "Male or female? Oh, don't get me wrong, after all, the styles for men and women are different."
Su Banyun hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "Woman."
Fusu couldn't help but grin slightly, and asked curiously, "How old are you? Oh, don't get me wrong, after all, there's a difference between giving gifts to elders and to peers."
Su Banyun: "...Peers!"
Seeing Su Banyun's face gradually darkening, Fusu resisted the urge to ask which girl he had taken a fancy to.
"Okay, come with me." He then took the lead and walked into the Taoist temple.
I could just faintly hear him mumbling, "These people are so conservative. It's just a love affair between a man and a woman, what's there to be embarrassed about? After all, even monks can visit brothels these days, tsk."
Hui Ke, standing behind him, frowned upon hearing this and said coldly, "Which Buddhist disciple is this? How dare they do such a thing to smear Buddhism? Taoist Master Fusu, please inform me. As a disciple of Buddha, I must rectify the sect's traditions!"
Zhou Zhilu looked at Huike's angry expression and couldn't help feeling relieved. Fortunately, he carried the drunk Huike out of the brothel early the next morning.
Otherwise, when he wakes up, he will probably be so angry that he will die on the spot.
Su Banyun looked at the wonderful micro-expressions on the three people's faces, and suddenly wondered whether the peace and blessings he prayed for in this Taoist temple could really bring peace?
…
The Taoist temples are all decorated with apricot-yellow walls, blue-grey temple ridges, towering ancient green trees, and exquisite statues of immortals on the eaves.
The aroma of incense lit by pilgrims permeates the Taoist temple, and with the sounds of birds and cranes, it feels like you are in a fairyland amidst the clouds and mist.
"A pillar of pure fragrance penetrates the sky, and ten thousand rays of auspicious light illuminate the universe.
"Avoid all evil, and you will be safe every year; practice all good, and you will be healthy every year!"
In a side hall, Fusu was chanting words of blessing while picking up a pen to draw complicated characters on a talisman.
After finishing the work on the pen, I wrapped it in a small white bag.
He immediately looked up at Huike and asked, "How about...you say a few words too?"
Huike was stunned for a moment, then readily agreed. He took out a Buddhist bead, held it in his palms with both hands, and recited skillfully:
"Every chant of the Buddha's name brings blessings, every mantra expresses affection; every lotus flower adorns the lotus platform, every Buddhist scripture dispels worries; every heart lamp illuminates the dark night, every red torch dispels ignorance!
"Namo Amitabha, may you avoid disasters and calamities, bring prosperity to our people, and bring peace and good fortune!"
"Wait a moment!"
Su Banyun suddenly said with a dark face: "Remove Rending Xingwang!"
"Oh... I should have said this earlier." Huike helplessly took out a new Buddhist bead and recited it again.
Then Su Banyun looked at the brocade bag with a Buddhist bead strung at the mouth and couldn't help but ask, "Is this thing really useful?"
"It's useful." Zhou Zhilu on the side suddenly nodded.
A golden light flashed in his eyes. When Fusu and Huike were praying, Zhou Zhilu saw the spiritual energy in their bodies continuously flowing into the Buddhist beads and talismans.
These two items condense a special force around them, protecting the people who wear them in the dark.
Moreover, Fusu and Huike must have put in a lot of effort. I'm afraid that this Ping'anfu can also resist an attack.
After listening to Zhou Zhilu's explanation, Su Banyun no longer had any doubts. He generously took out twenty taels of silver and said goodbye.
Looking at the direction Su Banyun left, Zhou Zhilu curiously asked Fusu about Su Banyun.
After Fusu divided the twenty taels Su Banyun had given him and gave five to Huike, he said, "Su Banyun is a rare talent among the Seven Heroes. The others got this title just to improve their ranking.
"But he was the only one who really didn't care about the so-called Seven Heroes of Beijing. Even so, Jiang Shengtian, who was ranked fourth before, couldn't pull him down.
"He said he was the Liang family's bodyguard, which was not wrong. After all, he was just an adopted child of the Liang family's head. He didn't even have the Liang family surname. It was just to repay the kindness of raising him that Su Banyun has been helping the Liang family.
"Many people in the capital are saying that the Liang family is too harsh, and even figures like the Seven Heroes of the Capital are unwilling to give surnames and accept them as their family members."
Zhou Zhilu nodded when he heard this. Perhaps because he grew up in such an environment, Su Bansheng was quite casual and did not fight or compete.
"By the way, I haven't asked you why you are here yet?" Fusu asked Zhou Zhilu.
Zhou Zhilu then told the story of the Special Demon Case Investigation Team.
"So you are here to recruit Huike and me to join your investigation team?!" Fusu said in surprise.
