"What are you talking about?"
Russell blinked his eyes innocently and looked at the old monk in front of him.
This old monk has a kind face, with 36 round prayer beads rotating continuously behind him. He is emitting yellow light all over his body and looks like a remarkable figure!
"Amitabha!"
The old monk clasped his hands together and bowed. He kept looking at Russell and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Good, good, good."
That look was as if he had seen an extremely beautiful woman.
Russell looked disgusted and said directly, "You don't think I have a connection with Buddhism, do you?"
The old monk was knowledgeable and quite an astute person. He could see at a glance that Russell seemed to have some misunderstanding about Buddhism.
But he didn't explain anything. Instead, he put his hands together, bowed, and walked away on the river with a smile.
"Old monk, I have something to do today. If we are destined to meet, we will meet again in the future."
He left a faint remark, but it made Russell scratch his head in frustration. This old monk was really weird and didn't play by the rules!
According to what is written in the novel, when those geniuses met the monks, didn't the monks cry and shout and ask to become monks
strangeness!
Russell narrowed his eyes and looked at the place where the old monk left, with some vague guesses in his mind.
There must have been an accident ahead. The old monk probably passed by here today and saw the evil ghost committing a crime, so he tried to stop it.
What exactly happened
Russell became more and more curious, and the more curious he was, the more he wanted to know what could make a cultivator so serious.
Or there are demons and monsters committing crimes at will, and you have to rush over to eliminate them and defend the way.
Or maybe they have discovered some rare treasure that will be of great help to the cultivation of those who practice Taoism!
Russell's eyes rolled around, and he was not in a hurry to go back. He sat cross-legged on the spot, took out a stack of paper figures from his arms, and carefully picked out a purple one from it.
The purple paper figure was covered with all kinds of strange patterns and was shining with gold, making it look particularly mysterious.
Russell looked at the paper man and smiled. He was not familiar with the old monk. If it was a demon or monster, he would have a reason to approach and flirt with it.
It’s not certain. Considering the old monk’s kind nature, he will most likely perform a ritual to save the soul.
Chanting sutras to liberate the souls is the most annoying thing. It is better to liberate the souls physically. Just a slap on the face will purify your six senses!
If it weren't monsters, but natural treasures...
Russell blew hard at the paper figure in his hand, and the purple paper figure floated in the sky, kept getting bigger, and slowly turned into a handsome and unrestrained young man.
The man had long flowing hair. He turned around and bowed to Russell, "Wu Gensheng greets fellow Taoist Russell!"
"Russell has met fellow Taoist Wu Gensheng!"
Russell smiled complacently, and suddenly he thought of something. He touched his chin and took out another paper man from his arms.
This time it was not a Taoist priest, but a monk, a reasonable monk.
This monk has delicate features and a friendly expression, and he loves to reason with people the most.
I wonder what the old monk will think when he sees this young monk in a while
…
The old monk was running in the woods at this time, the rosary behind him was shining brightly, and he seemed to be in a hurry.
Thinking back to the little kid he met on the boat just now, he couldn't help but sigh. He was so talented and had a childlike innocence, why wasn't he born into my Buddhist sect
Alas, it doesn’t matter. As fellow practitioners, if we have one more genius, there will naturally be a lot fewer demons and monsters!
Alas, this world...
When the old monk thought of his old friend's call for help, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.
Before he had walked far, he heard a hearty laugh from behind him, "Old Abbot, it's refreshing!"
The old monk was shocked that there was someone in the world who was so close to him and he didn't even notice it.
Why can't I feel any breath
He turned around suddenly and saw a young monk wearing a white monk's robe and a rosary around his neck. He looked particularly handsome.
Behind the young monk, there was a young man with a lazy face and a long sword on his back.
this…
The old monk was stunned. He had never seen so many powerful younger generations before. What happened today
Meet three at once
He didn't notice anything unusual at first, so he didn't care. "Something seems to have happened to an old friend of mine, so I went to help."
"Did you encounter any monsters?"
The young monk immediately patted his chest and said, "Old abbot, don't worry. With me, Zhao Wenzhuo, here, these are just trifles!"
After he finished speaking, the young Taoist priest behind him nodded, folded his hands over his chest, and seemed to agree with what the young monk said.
Seeing the two people like this, the old monk nodded with satisfaction. I am indeed not alone in my righteous path!
There is a successor, there is a successor!
The more the old monk looked at Zhao Wenzhuo, the more he liked him, and even the bald head felt somewhat comfortable with him.
"Let's go, let's go together!"
The old monk took Zhao Wenzhuo's hand and walked forward, leaving Wu Gensheng behind with a pout.
Bah, old monk, I suspect you are blatantly biased!
The three of them moved forward quickly. Along the way, the old monk pulled Zhao Wenzhuo to ask him questions. Fortunately, the journey was short and the questions were all superficial.
How old are you
Where is your home
How many years have you been practicing Taoism
Have you got a meal yet
Fortunately, the questions were superficial. If they were too deep and made him angry, he would have slapped the old monk directly, and he would have been stunned.
I didn't know where I was going, but it seemed that the old monk had some sense and was heading in one direction precisely in this dark night.
After a while, the three of them fell from the sky and arrived at a strange place.
How do you say it's strange
The old monk was clearly here to look for someone, but there was no one around, no place to hide, and no sound could be heard.
From time to time, nocturnal animals appear and rustle sounds can be heard.
Where are the people
"Maybe I know where that person is!"
Wu Gensheng took a step forward, felt around his body, and took out a compass from somewhere, fiddling with it with his right hand.
When the old monk saw this familiar movement, he had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Wu Gensheng was seen walking around, muttering something, taking three steps to the left, three steps to the right, and three steps forward.
I came to a meadow and stepped down hard. A big hole appeared in the originally neat grass!
And on the big hole, there is a long rope. Looking along the rope, it is connected to a big tree not far away.
It was pitch dark and on the grass, so the three of them didn't notice it just now.
Wu Gensheng bent down and touched the rope. This was not an ordinary rope. It was slippery and had the smell of cinnabar. It could be considered a treasure.
"Amitabha!"
The old monk seemed to have thought of something. He closed his eyes and clasped his hands together, as if he was apologizing for something.
Zhao Wenzhuo took a step forward, looked into the dark hole, and glanced at the old monk, "Could this be a tomb robber?"
"In my opinion, this tomb robber is not a good person. Let me just slap him to death!"
Old monk: …
Are today's younger generations so brave
"It's coming up, it's coming up!" Wu Gensheng exerted force with his arms, and the thick long rope was pulled up quickly by him.
The other end of the rope was tied to a woman with a ponytail and tights. Her body looked very flexible, as if she had received special training.
How did you tell that, you ask
Wu Gensheng looked at the woman in front of him with a strange expression, who had kneaded him into all kinds of strange shapes. Even those people who lived a good life in later generations could not achieve such an effect.
The woman did not die. Instead, she seemed to be seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Zhao Wenzhuo took a step forward, and the old monk took two steps forward in fear. Young people nowadays are too aggressive.
He was afraid that the young man would slap the person and physically kill him!
The old monk bent down, took a pendant from the woman's neck, and examined it carefully in his hands.
Under the moonlight, the word "Huo" was shining white.
Looking at the word "Huo", the old monk closed his eyes, as if he was recalling something from the past.
Wu Gensheng stuck his head out and looked down. Compared to the woman on the ground, he was more interested in the tomb underground.
He tilted his head and turned to look at the woman on the ground. He raised his foot and kicked the woman's neck accurately with his toes.
With a whimpering sound, the woman woke up instantly from her coma, looked around in confusion, and touched her aching neck with her hand.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
Wu Gensheng whistled and looked away. Zhao Wenzhuo put his hands on the pergola and looked at the moon in the sky, "The moon is so round today!"
There’s no such thing as a full moon. The Mid-Autumn Festival has been five or six days past!
The old monk sighed helplessly. The young men nowadays are really more cruel than each other and don't know how to be gentle and considerate to women at all.
He looked at the woman on the ground, stretched out his hand and revealed the pendant, "Who gave you this pendant?"
The woman looked confused. She narrowed her eyes as she looked at the old monk, and then a look of joy appeared on her face, as if she remembered his identity.
The woman said hurriedly, "My last name is Huo, and this was given to me by my third aunt."
The old monk was startled, tightly grasped the pendant in his right hand, sighed, and returned the pendant to the girl surnamed Huo.
"I haven't seen her for more than ten years. I once told her not to go to the tomb again. Is it that easy to rob tombs?"
What he said was true. The tomb-touching lieutenant had the tomb-touching talisman, and the Faqiu lieutenant general had the Faqiu seal, and each of them had his own specialties.
That's why they dared to rob tombs and kill people.
But that is only a moderate encounter. If you encounter a serious one, you will still die.
"How can it be so mysterious?" Wu Gensheng at the side smiled, "I like to chat with those female ghosts the most, but it's a pity that I can't meet them."
"Brother Zhao, do you think those monsters are scary?"
Zhao Wenzhuo clasped his hands together with a kind look on his face, "I'm not too sure about this. Normally I just send them to the West to see the Buddha. As for what happens, the Buddha should know."
Old monk: …
Miss Huo: …
Miss Huo looked at Wu Gensheng, then at Zhao Wenzhuo, and wondered in her heart, is there something wrong with these two's brains
But she didn't care, because there was a big thigh in front of her!
She was the most beloved by her Third Aunt. She had heard her Third Aunt talk about this past event before and knew that the old monk in front of her was a powerful figure.
Miss Huo bowed to the old monk and said, "Since that year, Third Aunt has never been to the tomb again. This time, she had no choice but to go to the tomb!"
"As one of the Old Nine Gates, the Huo family has not been involved in tomb robbing for more than a decade. All those who depended on the Huo family have left or left. Originally, the Huo family could still do some business, but in this world..."
Doing business requires not only capital, methods, and technology, but most importantly, a stable environment!
During these war-torn years, various warlords came to take advantage of the situation. The bigger the business, the faster they died.
Faced with internal and external troubles, the once prosperous Huo family is now in danger.
The ancestral unique skill of tomb robbing, this no-cost business, naturally became the solution to the Huo family's urgent needs!
Tomb robbing? The Old Nine Gates? The Huo family
Wu Gensheng narrowed his eyes and couldn't help feeling a little surprised. This world is so small and he met an old acquaintance again.
Maybe it’s not because the world is small, but because the circle is small.
There weren't many people who practiced Taoism or robbed tombs, and only a few of them were famous.
The surprise in his heart had disappeared. He was originally wondering why a woman would come here to rob a tomb
Because women have heavy yin energy, they are more likely to attract ghosts, and they have little strength, so they are not suitable for this job at all.
Sometimes the scariest thing about tomb robbery is not the ghosts or the mechanisms in the tomb, but the people who commit the tomb robbery!
If a woman robs a tomb, there will be one less person in the team.
But the Huo family is different. They are born with a secret method to dig a hole in the top of the tomb.
Then fix special ropes around the tomb, hang the ropes around your waist, go straight down from the top of the tomb, open the coffin and take out the treasure.
This way you can directly avoid the numerous mechanisms inside the tomb, with quick results and great rewards!
But it also has its disadvantages, that is, it has extremely high requirements on personal physical fitness and flexibility.
Therefore, women in the Huo family have the highest status, and those who hold power and rob tombs are all women.
After hearing what Miss Huo said, the old monk clasped his hands together helplessly and sighed quietly. This world is too chaotic!
And it will be even more chaotic afterwards, because the great catastrophe has not yet begun, and these are just the beginning appetizers before the catastrophe begins!
The old monk looked at Miss Huo, clasped his hands together, muttered something, and radiated Buddha's light from his whole body.
It was originally the sound of one person chanting, but it kept coming from all directions.
"South!"
His mouth slightly opened, and various tadpole-like symbols continued to light up around him. A rune lit up quickly and directly sank into Miss Huo's body.
It was as if clear water entered into an oil pan and began to boil instantly. Miss Huo felt warm all over. She raised her hands in surprise and saw with her own eyes wisps of black gas rising up.
Is this the Buddhist monk
Wu Gensheng's eyes suddenly lit up. This was the legendary Confucian who was eloquent and critical. This was simply so cool!
Well, old monk, I am also a Buddhist, can you teach me
I am really a good monk, a good monk who likes to preach to people!
