Sentimental buddy! Facing the melancholy Yan Chixia, Maitreya could actually understand his psychology. After all, he is now almost 50 years old, and his life is not many years old, so he naturally looks forward to longevity.
While sighing, Maitreya also solemnly exhorted Yan Chixia and promised him that if he could become immortal and immortal in the future, he would come to save him, so that Yan Chixia would feel a little melancholy.
After Yan Chixia was melancholy, she wanted to help Maitreya to make a sword, but he refused.
Maitreya helped Yan Chixia make forty-nine swords. Although he spent most of the time smashing his hands, he also watched a lot of key points. The upper spiritual talisman is sacrificed and blessed with the vajra mantra.
It’s an experiment of Maitreya who used the stick as a flying sword, and the experiment was successful. Although it is a bit difficult, after all, the stick is not refined like a flying sword. It is only made of copper and wood, but the handle has two strands and six rings. The stick of meditation is handed down from two generations, with powerful thought power attached to it.
With the thought power of the stick itself, Maitreya used his practice to practice again, and within a short time, he could practice the stick in his hand to his wish. Although it can't be reduced like Yan Chixia, it can also be attached to the magic power. It’s okay to be able to send and receive, just like a wizard’s broomstick, riding a high-altitude gliding.
After Maitreya practiced the Zen stick in his hand to fly at low altitudes, he was a bit quiet and thoughtful. After calculating that he had been to Middle-earth for more than three years, he planned to leave Lanruo Temple and return to the Japanese archipelago. After the cause and effect of the death is over, then go to Xunxian to visit Taoist.
Speaking of returning to the Japanese archipelago and ending the causal plot, Maitreya remembers that the Ghost Story seems to be behind the Thousand-Year Tree Demon and the Black Mountain Old Demon, and will come again again. It is a big centipede pretending to be a national teacher and doing harm to the world. What is it? I can't remember it clearly, I only know that the protagonist group successfully eliminated the guy in the end.
Remembering the follow-up of the big centipede, Maitreya hung up on Ning Caichen’s safety again. He vaguely remembered that the other party seemed to have eaten a prison meal. After thinking about it, Maitreya went to visit Ning Caichen, Xiang Yan Chixia He said goodbye and took the initiative to find someone in Jiangning.
Yan Chixia has always been lonely and has already made a nest in Lanruo Temple. She is reluctant to go out. Seeing Maitreya leave to visit Ning Caichen, and asking him to help herself greet Ning Caichen, she did not follow.
After packing up his bags, Maitreya left Lanruo Temple to find his way to Jiangning County. However, unlike the town that was still lively before March, this place has been ruined and deserted, and there are few people.
Ning Caichen’s owner Jibaozhai was a business of a wealthy family in Jiangning. When Maitreya came to look for it, the place had already closed down, and the owner’s family was also missing.
From nearby residents, Maitreya found out about Ning Caichen’s house, but unfortunately, when he looked for it, it was also in ruins. According to the neighbors, Ning Caichen went to Guobei County to collect the money for Jibaozhai. After that, he never came back.
How can this be? When Maitreya listened to the neighbors' words, he couldn't help but feel puzzled. He had to know that he had sent Ning Caichen back here with Yan Chixia himself, but now he has disappeared.
According to the memory in his mind, Maitreya tried to go to the local ya prison again, and asked someone to find the prison head to inquire. Because he practiced Vajrayana Zen, he had a good vibe, taught the monk and did not let people do it for nothing, so the jailer Quite a purchase, but I didn't find Ning Caichen, but a group of prisoners were taken to Jinling City a few days ago, saying that the monks were educated in Buddhism.
"This is weird." After refusing the jailer's reception, Maitreya sighed that the situation was weird. He went to the inn in the city and planned to stay overnight before going to Jinling to look for it.
The only inn in the county had a cold business. The boss and the guy inside was very enthusiastic, so he directly served a bowl of plain noodles. The small pieces, the meat is scented, just told him to squint his eyes for a while, after putting down the chopsticks, he called the boss of the shop and asked him if he knew Ning Caichen!
"Na Ning Caichen! Little master, you really asked the right person. Na Ning Caichen is a poor scholar in our backstreet. He used to write for someone. Not long ago, he found an errand to collect accounts from Jibaozhai. As a result, After Ning Caichen received the money from Guobei County, he ran away.” The shop owner listened to Maitreya's words, thought about it, and then smiled.
"Oh, is this person like this? It's really not a good thing." Maitreya looked at the shopkeeper with a mouthful of swords, and the corners of his eyes curled up with a smile.
"Master, eat noodles!" The shop owner narrowed his eyes when he saw the short-haired monk in front of him. He was afraid for no reason. He turned his head and looked at the noodles copied from the bowl on the table, smiling and pulling the topic away.
"I don't eat human flesh." Maitreya looked at the shopkeeper in front of him, keeping his smiling face, and then slapped him on his right cheek and pulled him out.
"Dead mullet... The fire has come out, and the copycat has been done." The store owner grabbed his swollen face and got up, uttered an out-of-tune curse, and then greeted the staff.
Accompanied by the shop owner's greeting, the two buddies waiting on the side, as well as the three buddies in the back kitchen, immediately rushed out with sharp knives, Maitreya smiled as he did before, and stood up holding the Zen stick.
In less than a quarter, the five men in the store for money and human flesh were all knocked down to the ground by Maitreya with personal skills. It was not the door collapsed, the eyes burst, or the nose and mouth were bloody. As for the shop owner, his face was swollen, crawling all over the floor like crazy, hiding behind the short-haired monk who was slowly approaching.
"Where did Ning Caichen go? Say it, the Buddha will forgive you." Maitreya's fists were slightly stained with blood, and he looked at the shopkeeper crawling all over the floor with a smile on his face as his feet approached.
"Ning, Ning Caichen was arrested quickly, he was taken as a thief Zhou Abing, and was taken away." The shop owner kept moving his body back, as if holding a life-saving straw and enduring the blood from his mouth, he told the matter. come out.
"Where shall I find him?" Maitreya stopped the persecution.
"Prison, in the prison, I saw with my own eyes that he was sent in." Seeing that Maitreya was no longer approaching, the shop owner stopped moving his body and replied out of breath.
"Have you regretted it?" Maitreya couldn't help but leaned over and asked as he looked at the nearly dead shop owner.
"Regret?" The shop owner looked up at the short-haired monk, and was slightly taken aback.
"When doing bad things." Maitreya nodded seriously.
"Spare..." The shop owner closed his eyes and begged Maitreya's powerlessness.
"Buddha will forgive you." Maitreya looked at the helpless shop owner, lifted his foot and smashed hard against his neck bone, with a crackling sound, the shop owner's eyes burst with light, and lost his brilliance with shock. .
"Amitabha Buddha!" Maitreya raised his palm to the shop owner, then turned around and picked up his Zen stick, and went straight to the jailer who had been handed over to ask about Zhou Abing's situation.
