Unexpected.
Shen Du never thought that his apology didn't bring back the slightest memory. And the way the monk looked at him just now was the same as the way he looked at him the last time he apologized...
too similar.
He finally knew where that uncomfortable feeling came from.
This look is too transparent.
I can't feel it on weekdays because his evil thoughts are faintly hidden, and the other party's eyes are transparent, and he doesn't feel anything; but when all the evil thoughts and hypocrisy emerge, he is so transparent, it will make people feel Feeling uncomfortable.
He was clearly fully armed, but under those eyes, it was a feeling of being stripped away.
More importantly, if you are not keen, you will not notice it at all.
Because this bald donkey feels so good and so comfortable. Shen Du even felt that if he hadn't been so obvious in his ignorance, he wouldn't have been able to tell his likes and dislikes.
"This bald donkey, even if it's not a high-profile person like Shanzai, who is famous and famous, in the Tianji Temple, I'm afraid he shouldn't be a simple person..."
He never knew about Tianji Temple.
As soon as the monk left, his brows furrowed.
The picture of Chunlan was pressed on the table by an ordinary ceramic paperweight, and the ink was still wet.
Shen Du didn't care.
He walked to the table, took the porridge and glanced at it, then glanced at the shabby pickle, and finally laughed angrily: When he can leave, he will definitely make this bald donkey look good.
After another round of thoughts, he still suppressed the absurd and angry anger in his heart, and honestly served porridge with pickles.
There are more big fish and more meat, and it is appetizing as a side dish of clear porridge.
Shen Duzui picked it up, but in a sense, it wasn't that he couldn't bear hardships. I have seen life and death, what is this
After putting down the bowl, he went out and took a look.
The bowl of white rice that was placed under the eaves yesterday was taken away by the monks, and the eaves were empty. Only on the muddy ground not far in front, there are still the imprints of the bamboo chopsticks.
People are in the bamboo house, the bamboo house is in the bamboo sea, there is a feeling of being left behind.
He figured it out, and there are only fifteen days left until the backlash of the Liuhe Divine Art will occur.
Time to prepare.
I didn't continue to look at the scenery outside the house, and I didn't go out to bask in the sun. Shen Du re-entered the house and pulled out the robe from the previous cabinet.
The blood has been washed away.
Some cuts made by swords on the robe were also carefully sewn with dark needles one by one, and it was not obvious from the front that they were damaged.
But when he reached out and pinched it, the sleeve robe was still slightly thick.
"His", he tore it hard, and tore a small opening inside the sleeve robe, which was actually sewn with a thinly pressed fragrant leather.
Half purple-brown, half white.
If someone who knows the goods in the rivers and lakes sees it, they will definitely recognize that this is the rare "scent of knowledge" in the legend, and it is both the north and the south incense.
Youshi incense is a kind of strange incense, which is colorless and odorless when burned, but it can be recognized by the quiet bird.
Once the incense is lit, if there is a bird nearby, it will smell the incense.
Since the discovery of this mystery hundreds of years ago, the forces of Jianghu have made more incense and raised this bird for special occasions.
It's just that fragrant trees are hard to grow, and weak birds are hard to last. Hundreds of years later, it has become very difficult for the world to find You Shixiang, even if there are not even a few Youshi birds left.
There is in the way of demons, and it is also the filial piety of the wealthy businessmen who are walking down the road.
After Shen Du got this thing, he just kept it for fun, just in case he needed it, but he never thought that he would really use it one day.
He gently lifted the layer of fragrant leather with his fingernails, divided it into two pieces according to the color, and carefully rolled it up.
So it became two pieces about the thickness of the little finger, both of which were only five inches long.
One is purple-brown, the other is snow-white.
The purple-brown is Nanxiang, and the snow-white is Beixiang.
The reason is that the fragrances of secluded consciousness are long in the north and south, and there are slight differences; the incense of secluded knowledge birds is present in both the north and the south, and the incense they recognize also varies from place to place. Nanxiang does not attract northern birds, and southern birds do not know Beixiang.
Therefore, in Shen Du's hands, these two incense had unusual uses.
The bird of knowledge attracted by the purple-brown Nanxiang can carry the letter and fly back to the path of the demon; the bird of knowledge attracted by the snow-white Beixiang can carry the message and fly to Pengshan.
The speed of the bird is extremely fast, and it will not take more than five days to travel between these two places.
This is his "life-saving straw".
However, if it is not used properly, or if you miss a single thought, light the wrong incense, attract the wrong bird, or call the wrong person, I am afraid that this "helping" will become "killing".
"One is the right way. On the surface, I can't kill my enemy quickly..."
Shen Du's finger lightly tapped the white incense stick, remembering Gu Zhao's immortal posture, standing with his hands behind his back, and then moved to Zixiang next to him, remembering Pei Wuji's calm and deep scheming face.
"One is evil, and it is very likely to plot against me and betray my old confidant..."
Hard to choose.
It's really hard to choose.
At this time, he felt that kind of loneliness: there are so many, so many people in the whole world, he climbed high on the demon road, and thousands of people bowed their heads, but who dared to believe
Even the two remaining people after thousands of choices and deliberation are full of uncertain dangers.
In my heart, there was an inexplicable feeling of fatigue.
He casually folded a small bamboo outside the window, covered the two incense sticks with paper rolls, put them together in a thin bamboo tube, and then tucked them into his sleeves to hide them.
If he didn't understand the situation outside, he would not light incense rashly.
You know, wrong click, waiting for him, just a word "death".
In the final analysis, I still have to go to Tianji Temple to see it.
I didn't follow the monk in yesterday because I was angry; I didn't follow up today because I felt that it would be too daring to follow directly in the middle of the day and noon.
If you accidentally lose it, God knows if it will be discovered.
So, after collecting the incense, Shen Du walked around, trying to see clearly the terrain near Bukong Mountain, in order to prepare for the future.
Then, before the bald donkey came back, he returned to the bamboo hut.
He just pretended that he hadn't been out all afternoon, sitting behind the desk and reading the scriptures.
I don't know, I'm afraid I thought that Shen Du was going to convert to Buddhism from now on.
But even so, people couldn't see the slightest flaw, and the monk didn't pay any attention to him.
Come and deliver your meal and leave.
It's still the same bowl of white porridge and that dish of pickles, nothing has changed.
Five days passed in a row like this.
Ren Shen only speaks secretly and secretly, and has all the good things to say, and even condescended to talk to him about his own experience and understanding of a certain passage of scriptures, but the other party was indifferent.
I didn't even move my brows!
No meat, drink and dream!
Two meals a day at noon and evening, with meals delivered on time, porridge and side dishes.
Shen Du didn't eat anything with a pure heart and few desires, and was indifferent to fame and fortune. Instead, he ate a belly of evil fire, his mouth was pale, his eyes were green, and when he saw that dead bald donkey, he wished he could pick up his sword and chop it up!
But you have to endure it.
you ask why
Can why? It's not because of that big formation on Bukong Mountain!
Five days later, he naturally followed the monk carefully for five nights. Basically, others walk on the front foot, and his rear foot follows.
I thought it would be easy to figure out the way to go.
But after really following him for five nights and losing him every night, Shen Du felt a little evil.
Today is the sixth night, and it has only been ten days since the backlash of Liuhe Divine Art.
His power has been restored by half.
Doing all kinds of things is naturally more comfortable than before, and it also has a little more self-protection power; but it can be accompanied by the increase in skill, and there is a sense of evil.
These days, even though the monk was dumb, he couldn't speak or express himself to him, but Shen Du felt that...
The way I looked at him in the past two days was definitely not right.
Because the thoughts in his heart were very wrong.
It can be said that there is not much time left for him.
But tonight is definitely a great opportunity.
The sky was so beautiful that a heavy snow fell during the day, covering the whole mountain, and even breaking many branches on the mountain. There was a thick patch of snow on the ground.
And as the evening approached, the snow had stopped.
This also means that people walking on the snow will leave footprints and will not be covered by fresh snow in a short time.
For a few days, Shen Du had chased half of them and lost them.
But today…
He didn't believe that he couldn't get in when God helped him!
He didn't touch the bowl of hot porridge brought by the monk.
A pair of beautiful phoenix eyes, under the dim yellow light, has a dark and breathtaking brilliance, just staring out the window like this.
The back of the monk's departure has become smaller and smaller, and finally he has reached the mountain road.
"Hoohoo!"
At this moment, Shen Du didn't even think about it, his figure was like a ghost, and he swept out of the window directly!
He was as light as a feather, leaping in the bamboo sea, and occasionally his toes fell on the snow, leaving no trace.
After following him for a few days, he was quite familiar with it.
The first section of the road passed by without even thinking about it, and after about three breaths on the mountain road, I saw the monk's back again.
The moon-white monk's robe was a little blurry in the gloom.
But the whole mountain is covered with white snow, and the glittering snow light shines from the ground, dyeing the moon white, like a piece of pure white snow, almost blending with the snow on the whole mountain.
Don't hurry, move forward safely.
The road was also covered with snow.
After his footsteps passed, two lines of extremely clear footprints were left on the thick snow.
Seeing this situation, Shen Du's thin and cold lips immediately put on a slightly cool smile, and he held his breath more and more, and followed the series of footprints without distraction.
On the empty mountain, there are many forks in the mountain.
When it reached the height of 70% of the mountain, the dead bald donkey turned around a tall rock formation. There was a faint sound of stones turning, and the shadow disappeared.
It used to be so.
Shen Du chased for five nights in a row, and every night was stuck here. When he turned around, he couldn't see anyone. The footprints on the ground were messy, and he couldn't tell which direction he was going.
But the snow today really helped a lot.
Although there is no shadow of the person, the clear footprints on the ground are still there.
He cautiously waited beside him for a while, but he didn't see the monk turning around or anyone around him, and then he stepped out, stepped on the footprints left by the monk, and walked through the rock formation step by step.
The stone shadows passing by in front of him only make people feel dizzy.
But when he stepped on the twenty-seventh step, it suddenly became clear.
Shen Du took a closer look-
The Tianji Temple is already in front of you.
This should be the back mountain.
From his angle, he could only see obliquely the corner of the tall gate of the front mountain, the towering bell and drum towers on both sides of the Hall of Heavenly Kings, leaving symmetrical shadows on the dark blue sky.
The Buddhist temples are stacked on top of each other, solemn and solemn.
Snow covered golden glazed tiles.
Lamps are lit everywhere in the temple.
The dim light shone on the walls painted with gods and Buddhas, the scripture banners engraved with scriptures, the carved windows full of lotus patterns, and the small bodhi leaves of the few trees in the courtyard.
The whole Zen courtyard gives people a strange sense of stability.
Every detail is full of Zen.
The area in the back mountain is where ordinary monks live in meditation rooms.
But there are no walls.
The monk in the moon white robe walked up the steps of the back mountain after exiting the stone formation, passed the meditation room, but did not enter, but went inside.
"Strange, what is this bald donkey going to do if he doesn't go back to the monastery?"
Shen Du saw it and was a little curious. Anyway, I'm not familiar with this temple, so it's just right to pick someone to follow and feel the situation of this place first.
When the thoughts flashed, he restrained his breath and followed.
He has reached the peak of the peak with ease, and easily climbed the eaves, stepping on the snow on the glazed tiles of the roof, and quietly decorated it.
all the way through.
After more than half an hour, the monk turned from the path, went up the steps, and entered a great hall.
Shen Du crouched on the eaves of a large hall next to him, watching from a distance, almost subconsciously wanting to lean over to explore. But when he was about to get up, he looked up, but he was suddenly shocked!
There is an old plaque hanging on the door of the hall.
The surrounding light was too dim, so it was a little blurry.
But what is his vision
In just this moment, I could clearly see the three-character seal engraved on it—
Temple of Thousand Buddhas!
