The awning boat went down the river, and the continuous autumn rain fell on the boat but made no sound. There was a mist covering the river, and the lights of the city were faintly visible. Gradually, the city disappeared into the mist and was no longer visible. For a time, Tang Zixian rowed the boat into a tributary, with farmland and villages on both sides. Away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the oncoming scenery brings a sense of tranquility.
Ning Tao sat in the cabin playing with the Whisperer watch, exploring its new functions. However, no matter what he tried, the Whisperer seemed to have only one function, which was the function derived from cloud ore.
Ning Tao felt a little depressed. After spending so much money, the Whisperer he refined was equivalent to a dog language translator. What use was this function to him
"The watch in your hand is the one you snatched from Yang Long, right?" Tang Zixian, who was standing at the stern of the boat and rocking the oars, broke the hour-long silence between the two.
Ning Tao didn't hide it either: "It's it, but it's not it either."
Tang Zixian frowned: "I really doubt that you were a sour Confucian scholar in your previous life. Can you speak well?"
Ning Tao didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "There are problems with the battery and chip of Tianqi smart watch. Bai Sheng has a technological weapon in his hand. Once he activates the technological weapon, the watch will receive the signal and the battery will be released. It produces a kind of energy and then releases it in the form of energy waves through the God-making chip. That energy wave can turn people into puppets and be controlled by them. "
"How do you know so clearly?"
"Bai Shengming knew I would steal a watch but did not stop me. Before we met, he tried to control me through this watch. He asked me to kill two of my friends and then commit suicide. I did so. ." Ning Tao said.
Tang Zixian looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes: "Have you deceived him?"
Ning Tao nodded: "Then he wanted to destroy the watch. I smashed it before it was destroyed, and then repaired it. So, in a sense, it is no longer the same watch. "
Tang Zixian was surprised: "Can you still repair your watch?"
Ning Tao said: "As a doctor, I can not only heal people, but also repair magical instruments. If you have any broken magical instruments that cannot be used, you can bring them to me and I will help you repair them. You can also tell your cultivation Friends in the world, if they have such needs, they can come to me, I will repair the magic weapon, and I will receive some spiritual materials as a reward. "
Tang Zixian thought for a moment: "I do have a broken magic weapon in my hand. I will give it to you to try later, but I don't have any spiritual materials. After repairing it, I will give you money. How about it?"
Ning Tao looked sideways at Tang Zixian: "What magical weapon and how much does it cost?"
Tang Zixian said: "An umbrella, if you can repair it, I will give you 100,000 yuan."
"US dollars?" Ning Tao asked.
"Of course it's Chinese coins." Tang Zixian said.
Ning Tao closed his eyes to relax.
"What do you mean, too little?" Tang Zixian's tone was filled with displeasure.
Ning Tao continued to recuperate. He didn't even bother to repair it with one hundred thousand dollars, let alone Chinese coins. He went around in such a big circle because he originally wanted to do a business to earn some spiritual materials so that he could upgrade the Whisperer, but he didn't expect Tang Zixian to be so stingy and stingy. For one hundred thousand Chinese coins, I will repair your sister! Now he can just put two talismans on the chest of some flat-chested girl and he can earn more than this!
"Okay, how about I add another fifty thousand?" Tang Zixian's tone became softer.
"How long does it take to arrive at Hanjiang Temple?" Ning Tao said.
Tang Zixian snorted coldly: "Almost!"
Ning Tao continued to close his eyes and rest.
The awning boat entered a state of silence again, and the heroine rowing the boat and the miracle doctor riding the boat said no more words.
After a while, the awning boat docked. Behind the pier is a dense forest. There is a path paved with stone slabs extending into the woods. It is misty and rainy, so you can't see where the Hanjiang Temple is.
Ning Tao got off the boat and followed Tang Zixian on the stone path. Only then did he realize that traces of the feet of humans and animals could be seen everywhere on the stone slabs under his feet. Some of the stone slabs were cracked, and grass grew out of the gaps. This stone road has a history of at least a thousand years, so how old is the Hanjiang Temple that has not yet appeared
After a while, an ancient temple came into Ning Tao's sight. It was a small temple with only one Buddhist temple. There are two ancient pine trees standing in front of the temple. It takes two people to hold hands to surround the tree trunks. The forest is at least a thousand years old. There are several wing rooms on both sides of the Buddhist hall behind the temple gate, and there is a courtyard behind it with a thatched cottage in the courtyard. The thatched cottage is very distinctive, like a white mushroom emerging from the field.
when!
Suddenly there was a sound of ringing a bell in the Buddhist temple.
Tang Zixian clasped her palms together, lowered her head slightly, and looked solemn.
Ning Tao only had a slight desire to worship God when he heard the bell, but the thought of worshiping God was fleeting. The sound of the bell was a bit fancy, but it was far inferior to the sound he heard when he recited "I breathed in the womb and heard the sound of the great avenue." However, out of politeness and concealment, he still imitated Tang Zixian's actions, clasping his palms together and lowering his head slightly to show respect.
The lingering sound of the bell faded away, and the temple door suddenly opened. There was dim candlelight flowing out from the temple door. In the dim light, an old monk came into Ning Tao's sight. The old monk was tall, with a thin face, a white beard on his chin, and even his eyebrows were white, hanging down to the corners of his eyes. He didn't know he was old, but his face had no wrinkles and his skin was very rosy.
Tang Zixian said respectfully: "Master Fakong, I have brought you here."
Master Fakong's eyes fell on Ning Tao from the moment he opened the door, and never left. His eyes seemed to penetrate Ning Tao's soul.
Ning Tao made another gesture of clasping his palms together and said politely: "Hello, Master Fakong."
As he spoke, he quietly awakened the gazing state of his eyes. This Master Fakong has a strong innate aura, and a strong spiritual energy is released from his body. Strong spiritual energy means strong spiritual power. Master Fakong's cultivation level is actually higher than that of Tang Tianren!
What he saw from Master Fakong was not only a powerful innate aura and aura, but also a vast white aura of kindness. The third-level introductory cultivation technique given to him by the Cauldron of Good and Evil gave him this ability, allowing him to see the good deeds of good people in the state of gazing. However, there are really too few people with good temperament in them now.
Seeing the kindness in Master Fakong, Ning Tao also relaxed his guard and no longer worried that Tang Zixian would stab him in the back.
Fakong said: "Donor Ning, you're welcome. Please come in. The poor monk has prepared tea. Let's drink and chat."
Ning Tao followed Master Fakong into the only Buddhist hall in this temple. On the Buddhist hall is enshrined a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a dignified appearance and kind eyes.
Although Ning Tao didn't really believe this, he still stopped to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva, and then followed Master Fa Kong to the thatched cottage in the backyard.
There is a layer of wooden boards in the thatched cottage, with a bamboo mat placed on the wooden board, a coffee table placed on the bamboo mat, and three futons placed next to the coffee table. There is a small fire pit next to the coffee table, and there is firewood burning an iron kettle. It is steaming and making a gurgling sound.
After Ning Tao and Tang Zixian took their seats, Master Fakong picked up the iron pot and made three cups of tea. He said with a smile: "There is no good tea here. This tea was given by a donor. The poor monk borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha. Please give me Ning." With tea.”
Ning Tao picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He didn't say whether it was good or bad, because it would be vulgar to say it was good or bad, so he just smiled to show his gratitude.
Master Fakong also took a sip of tea, put down the tea cup and said, "Donor Ning, do you know why the poor monk invited you here tonight?"
Ning Tao said: "Is it Bai Sheng's business?"
Master Fakong said: "That evildoer Bai Sheng caused harm to the world and can only be punished by heaven. The poor monk devotes himself to cultivating Buddhism and does not commit murderous crimes. Although Bai Sheng deserves to die, the poor monk will not take action."
Ning Tao was stunned for a moment, confused: "What is that?"
Master Fakong looked directly into Ning Tao's eyes, and his tone was suddenly stern: "The poor monk invited you here tonight to remind you that cultivating the Tao is difficult, correcting the Tao is even harder, and cultivating the Tao of Heaven is even more difficult. You are born with People have destiny, why do they associate with evildoers?”
Ning Tao was stunned on the spot and felt a little confused.
Listening to Master Fakong's tone, he seemed to have seen something, and maybe even knew something related to Tianwai Clinic. But when he said he was in company with monsters, wasn't he talking about Qing Zhui, Bai Jing, and Yin Molan? What does this have to do with him
Master Fakong continued: "I know that there are two snake demons around you, one is Bai Jing and the other is Qing Zhui. They are both the adopted daughters of Bai Sheng. They are full of sins. How can you, a person who cultivates the way of heaven, fight with two Are snake demon women hanging out together? They will mess with your behavior and destroy your nature. If you don't cut off this evil bond, you will fall into a situation that will never be recovered. "
Ning Tao glanced at Tang Zixian.
Tang Zixian said calmly: "No doubt, I was the one who told Master Fakong."
"Donor Ning, do you know the poor monk's sincere words?" Master Fakong stared at Ning Tao.
"Wait..." Ning Tao endured the messy feeling in his heart and said, "Master Fakong, you invited me here just to talk to me about this matter?"
"Amitabha." Master Fakong proclaimed the Buddha's name, "It is the poor monk's responsibility to advise you to return from your lost path. It is not too late to mend the situation."
Ning Tao suddenly smiled: "Master Fakong, this is my private matter, I will handle it myself. Also, Hanjiang Temple is not far from Guancheng, and Bai Sheng is not far from here, and the monster is doing something for him. It's a disaster for the world. Master didn't collect the thousand-year-old poisonous snake, but you came to persuade me to return to my lost path. I think I have a good sense of direction and rarely get lost, so I don't need to worry about it. "
Tang Zixian snorted coldly: "Ning Tao, what's your attitude!"
Master Fakong raised his hand, and Tang Zixian became quiet again.
Ning Tao glanced at the way he came, picked up the tea cup and drank tea, but he was already thinking about what excuse he should find to leave.
Master Fakong said calmly: "Donor Ning, have you ever heard of Xu Xian?"
puff!
A mouthful of tea that had just been poured into his mouth spurted out from Ning Tao's mouth.
However, all the water drops are suspended in the void.
