Chapter 554: Like facing a formidable enemy

Views:

Tian Fu was startled for a moment, and soon she let out a strange laugh. Qining said lightly: "You don't believe it?"

"I'm blind, can't you see that?" Tian Fu said angrily: "I can't even see my own path clearly, how can I still find the murderer who killed my father?"

"That's why I came here today to try to cure your eyes." Qining said: "You have been through many doctors, but your eyes have not been cured, so you have lost hope. You gave up on yourself, but have you ever thought about it? , there are many people in much more difficult situations than you, but they still persevere and are full of hope for their future.”

Tian Fu frowned but said nothing.

"If it doesn't work once, you can do it ten times. If it doesn't work ten times, you can do it a hundred times." Qi Ning guided: "Maybe it's just the last step to succeed. Why give up at this last step?"

"I… !"

"I know what you are thinking." Qining said: "My child, you are only thirteen years old, and you still have a long way to go. The fact that you just verbally offended your mother just shows that you care about her very much. You are still afraid of her. Someone was snatched away from you, right?" Although he didn't look much older than Tian Fu, his tone was old-fashioned, like an elder lecturing his junior.

Tian Fu's body was shaken, and Mrs. Tian also looked at Tian Fu in astonishment.

"Your eyesight is not clear, but because of this, I think your senses in other aspects will be more sensitive." Qining sighed: "You will never know anything about your mother's hard work. You know that the Tian family It is your mother who is supporting you now, and you know that she is working hard, but you are afraid that she will leave you one day, and you cannot do without her, whether it is materially or spiritually, so you care so much. It would be so hysterical...!”

Tian Fu suddenly raised her hands to cover her face and cried "Wow".

Mrs. Tian was so shrewd that she understood in an instant that Qin Ning had revealed Tian Fu's feelings with one word. She could not break or establish anything. Qi Ning said it bluntly today, but it was a great help to Tian Fu. Tears rolled down her eyes and she stepped forward to take care of Tian Fu. Tian Fu hugged her.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Qining walked over and sighed: "Your mother treats you more than her own life, so don't hurt her in the future." Then he said: "Madam, it's getting late. Tomorrow I still have business, so I won’t stay any longer. You take Tian Fu to the Marquis Mansion to find a Tang girl tomorrow, and tell her it’s my wish. I’ll say hello when I get back.”

Mrs. Tian said hurriedly: "Master Hou, I will take you out."

Qining said "hmm", and Mrs. Tian comforted Tian Fu with a few words, and then she followed Qining out. There was a bright moon in the sky, the moonlight was like water, shining on the earth, making it quiet and peaceful.

After leaving the courtyard, Mrs. Tian said: "Master Marquis, just now... I thank you very much just now...!"

Qi Ning saw her eyes were red and said softly: "It's not easy for you to take care of such a big industry and Tian Fu. If you have any difficulties in the future, just come to me. Although I can't help you with a big help, I can still help you with a small help. Give me some help."

"Master Marquis has shown great kindness to the Tian family, I... I really don't know how to repay him." Mrs. Tian's beautiful eyes were full of gratitude.

Qi Ning smiled and said: "Meeting is fate. Now that we have gotten acquainted, God has it's own will not to say such polite words."

"It's God's will?" Mrs. Tian repeated, raised her head slightly, and saw Qining looking at her with a smile. For some reason, her face heated up, and she lowered her head and said, "Yes, Mr. Hou... Mr. Hou is a good person, and I can meet him." Lord Marquis, is... is my blessing."

After seeing Qining off, Mrs. Tian felt her face flushed and her heart beat violently when she thought of tonight's scene, and then a wave of gratitude surged through her heart.

Qining returned to the Hou Mansion. It was getting late and it was too late to disturb Tang Nuo. She knew that Tang Nuo was kind-hearted. Mrs. Tian brought Tian Fu over tomorrow. Tang Nuo naturally would not turn away the door and called Manager Han. After some instructions, he also ordered preparations to go to Daguangming Temple the next day.

Early the next morning, when everything was ready and the sky was still bright, Qining led Li Tang and five or six other followers to Daguangming Temple. He had stayed at Daguangming Temple for a few days and was familiar with the road. He rode flying all the way to the foot of Purple Mountain. Knowing the rules of Daguangming Temple, he ordered Li Tang and others to wait at the pavilion at the foot of the mountain while he walked up the stone steps leading to the mountain.

Since he came to Guangming Temple, he had already prepared the Vairocana Sword on his body in advance. This Vairocana Sword was a gift from Daguangming Temple. It is the famous sword of Daguangming Temple. He took it with him, thinking that it should be smooth in Daguangming Temple. No more obstacles.

When they arrived at the archway halfway up the mountain, they saw a monk guarding the archway. Qining stepped forward, clasped his hands and said, "Qining is waiting for you in brocade. I would like to see Master Kongzang, who is in charge, and please let me know!"

The monk glanced at the Pilu Sword on Qi Ning's waist, turned around and left without saying a word. Qi Ning was curious, so he followed two steps and said: "Master, you...!"

"Come with the poor monk!" said the monk.

Qi Ning was a little surprised. He knew that this Daguangming Temple was not an ordinary place, but the best temple in the world. Not to mention the common people, even dignitaries would have no chance of stepping into the Daguangming Temple without permission from the temple. This monk actually led me up the mountain without asking any more questions, which was quite surprising.

However, the other party allowed him to go up the mountain, so he didn't have to talk nonsense and follow the monk.

He is quite familiar with Daguangming Temple. At this time, the sun is shining high, and the entire Purple Mountain is bathed in the sunshine. The pavilions and halls of Daguangming Temple are hidden or visible in the Purple Mountain. The mountain is magnificent and full of greenery. It is a sacred place for Buddhism. , quiet and sacred, it really makes people feel peaceful.

The monk didn't say anything, and Qining couldn't say much. He followed the undulating road on the mountain to the temple, only to find that there was an extremely strange atmosphere in the Daguangming Temple.

Every time I walked for a while, I saw a monk from Guangming Temple holding a stick and looking stern. When he walked by, the monks didn't say anything, but they looked at Qining warily, as if facing a formidable enemy, and every time When we arrived at a dangerous intersection, we were guarded by monks from Kongming Pavilion.

Qining had stayed in Daguangming Temple and knew that the status of the monks in Kongming Pavilion was higher than that of ordinary monks in the temple. There were no less than two thousand people in Daguangming Temple, and the number of people was overwhelming. Kongming Pavilion was dedicated to Daguangming Temple. As a place of martial arts, the temple selects monks with outstanding talents to enter Kongming Pavilion to practice martial arts. Being able to enter Kongming Pavilion is also a coveted honor for the monks of Daguangming Temple.

The monks in Kongming Pavilion all wear yellow belts around their waists, and their wrists and ankles are also wrapped in yellow scarves, making them easy to identify.

Along the way, Qi Ning saw two to three hundred people, including the monks from Kongming Pavilion, guarding the road. They all had stern expressions and were very curious. No matter how ignorant he was, looking at this formation, he knew about the Great Guangming Temple. Something extraordinary must have happened.

Daguangming Temple is superior to the temples in the world. Bauhinia Mountain is the holy place of Buddhism in the world. No one dares to ask about what happens in it. Therefore, even if something happens in this temple, it is difficult to know in the world.

He was confused, but he didn't have much time to ask. He followed the monk for a long time and finally arrived outside a courtyard. When he looked at the courtyard, Qining immediately recognized that this was the meditation center of Master Jingkong, the first of Kongming Pavilion. Therefore, when he left Daguangming Temple, it was here that he said goodbye to Master Jingkong.

The monk took Qi Ning outside the courtyard and signaled Qi Ning to wait outside. Then he went in to report. He came out soon and raised his hand to signal Qi Ning to come in.

Entering the courtyard, under a golden bodhi tree, Master Jingkong was sitting cross-legged on a bluestone slab under the tree, clasping his hands and looking at Qining with a smile.

Qi Ning had a good impression of the old monk. He quickly stepped forward and saluted: "Master Jingkong!"

Jingkong said: "It's the old monk's order. If you go up the mountain, I will bring you to the old monk."

"Master knows I'm coming?" Qi Ning asked curiously.

"What should come will always come, and what should go will always go." Jingkong said with a smile.

Qining thought that what you said was so profound that I couldn't understand it, so he said: "Master, I came here today to meet with Master Kongzang, who is in charge. I wonder if Master can help me introduce him!"

Jingkong nodded slightly and said: "Brother in charge has just come out of seclusion after practicing Zen recently. You came at the right time." His figure floated up like a cloud and said: "You come here with the old monk." No nonsense, in Qi Ning led the way. He looked old, but his steps were light. Qi Ning followed, thinking that just by looking at the steps of this old monk, he was extremely impressive. His martial arts skills were certainly extraordinary.

He had also witnessed the fight between Master Jingkong and Chi Danmei. Although Chi Danmei's trick succeeded, Chi Danmei, as a disciple of Mo Lancang, the master of Baiyun Island, one of the five great masters, may not be Master Jingkong's opponent when facing each other head-on. It can be seen that Master Jingkong's martial arts is indeed excellent, and it is no wonder that he can become the first Kongming Pavilion in Daguangming Temple.

Along the way, he passed through Tiandemen, Jingdu Yaotai, Wuyuanjing, Yuruoyuan, and arrived at Prajna Terrace. Qining passed by along the way, but it was also a great experience. He had never been to these places before when he was on the mountain. Daguangming Temple Among the temples in the world, it is second to none. As a royal temple of Da Chu, before any grand ceremony, the imperial court will allocate a large sum of money for decoration. Moreover, Daguangming Temple also has its own place for food and salary, and the imperial court allocates a large area of land for food. The salary was not only enough to support the monks in the temple, but also had a large surplus. Therefore, over the years, the buildings of Daguangming Temple were spread all over Bauhinia Mountain. The temple has three pavilions, five floors, seven halls, and eighteen halls. It is large in scale and exquisitely constructed. , majestic.

After passing through the Prajna Terrace and walking through a bamboo forest, Qining saw a square house made of huge stones outside the bamboo forest. It was quite different from other buildings in the temple. It was a bit strange. He secretly thought that this was the abbot of Kongzang. Where to live.

In today's world, in addition to the five great masters, Master Kongzang is the ultimate master, and his status is respected, but he doesn't expect that the place where he lives is so remote and simple.

Master Jingkong led Qi Ning to the stone house, picked up a stone, and knocked on the stone door three times. Qining heard a "crack" sound, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a door that only allowed one person to enter or exit. At the gap, the stone door suddenly stopped. Qingkong clasped his hands together, looked at Qining, and said, "Go in!"

Qining walked to the door and saw that there seemed to be a glimmer of light in the room, but it was very dim. He felt something was not quite right. He was about to turn around when he felt a force pushing from behind him. It was too late to react, and his body had already been affected by that force. A strong force pushed into the stone door. His heart sank, and he turned around. With a "bang", the stone door closed extremely quickly. Qining's heart trembled, thinking to himself what the old monk was going to do. what the hell.
