Poor Monk

Chapter 48: The patriarch came from the west

Views:

Heavenly Temple!

As soon as these four words came out, the three people who were about to go out from the door stopped almost immediately, turning their heads to look at Feng Xiao, who was still holding the letter.

Shen Du's fingertips trembled even more, and his heart jumped suddenly.

It has been a long time since he came back from Bukong Mountain. The days and nights in the bamboo hut in the mountains were already like a dream.

Just because it's too peaceful, even too sweet.

But his days, or the days of demons and Taoists, have never had anything to do with these two words.

Now suddenly hearing the words "Tianji Chanyuan" from a short distance away, Shen Du almost subconsciously remembered the dumb monk, and even blurted out and asked Feng Xiao to hand the letter to him.

But in just an instant, there was a dull and heavy pain that woke him up.

So he paused, suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and asked, "Tianji Temple, who?"

His tone was somewhat subtly wrong.

Feng Xiao had been by his side for a long time, even if he couldn't understand his innermost feelings, Su Ri's behavior was clear.

She knew it was wrong, but she didn't seem to be able to say exactly what was wrong.

At this moment, only Pei Wuji, who was standing at the door, took a deep look at Shen Du at the moment, and his slightly stiff fingers pressed on the table without moving.

Feng Xiao is the chief executive on Jiantian Cliff, she handles many trivial matters around Shen Du, and it is of course not a problem to see these matters.

She had seen the signature of the letter just now.

It's just that he said it at this time, but he still didn't hide the little hesitation and inexplicable shock: "It's the one you mentioned before, the famous one, Zenzai..."

Good.

It's just good.

It is really hard to describe the feeling that suddenly arises from the bottom of my heart, it is like the last insignificant cold rain that fell from the sky, splashing out that vague spark in the ashes, Shen Duwei's stiff fingers relaxed, and he smiled as if he didn't care much. He smiled and said: "It seems that Tianji Temple really looks down on me, Shen, and it is a rare honor to let the famous Hui monk Shanzai write books for me. Come and listen."

Feng Xiao was slightly startled again.

On this sky cliff, Shen Du is almost the kind of person who can reach out for food and open his mouth.

It's not that I'm spoiled, it's just that I'm too lazy to do it.

It's not that no one has discussed it secretly, thinking that he is too big, but one day when she happened to mention this issue, Shen Du only replied: "I am a demon and Taoist master, can't I be able to kill, can kill, and kill as many people as possible? ?"

Feng Xiao was speechless at that time.

But having said that, when it really matters, Shen Du is the one who can endure hardship better than anyone else. He doesn't read letters by himself on weekdays, but he also reads important letters from important people.

But right now...

Feng Xiao originally thought he wanted to see it for himself.

This time he responded, but it didn't take long.

She blinked, then lowered her eyes and looked at the simple words on this thin page of letter paper again, but she couldn't help but marvel at this beautiful hand, full of a sense of Zen, and only read: "Bai Hao first straight Pointing to the east, Beidou looks at the ancient dojo in the south. If you come to the west, you will send it back, and the lamp is only in the center."

When Shen Du listened to it, he felt at a loss, and felt that it really looked like a Buddhist verse, but he felt that it had no beginning or end.

Even if it's on the side, I just realized something about the "sentence from the West".

When he saw Feng Xiao stopped, his brows slightly raised, and the sullenness between his eyebrows followed, and he only said, "Is it gone?"

"Gone… "

Feng Xiao also had a blank look on his face, holding the plain letterhead, blinked his eyes, and answered dryly.

Shen Du frowned and said nothing.

Yao Qing at the door was unable to stand up. He was curious and angry at the legendary Hui Monk Shanzai. He hurriedly walked over and took the letter from Feng Xiao's hand to take a look.

"It's really only four lines of words. Daoist, what kind of machine is this playing?"

Tianji Temple has always been aloof.

Not to mention that these scriptures in Buddhism are unfamiliar and difficult to understand to outsiders, so if you look at the word "Tianji" in "Tianji Zenyuan", you should also see two points of profoundness.

The monk Hui is very good. Since the Dharma is profound, these few sentences are also related to the allusions of Buddhism.

It's a pity that Shen Du is not interested in these bald donkeys.

The only knowledge of Buddhism in this life is nothing but what I read and learned when I was bored in the bamboo sea and bamboo house in Bukong Mountain.

What I can remember right now is "the meaning of the ancestors coming from the west".

The "Xilai" in the third sentence refers to the fact that the Zen master Bodhidharma came from the west, but what the master Xilai did and what he asked for has always been an unsolved koan in Buddhism.

But what this Hui monk Zenzai said had some meaning.

What does it mean to "send a sentence from the west, and the lamp is only in the center"

In the past, when he sneaked into the Tianji Temple and visited the Thousand Buddhas Hall at night, he had suffered a big loss under the hands of this bald donkey. Only from the quick and violent fights in several rounds, he could know that the opponent's martial arts attainments were extremely high. In terms of temperament, he is by no means different from those good-natured people in the Chanyuan.

good ya

How did the stance of this bald donkey have anything to do with this dharma name? Good shit!

So now Shen Du didn't mean to bring this letter over to read it for himself, he just laughed coldly: "It's true that the food you ate never spit out, is the golden signboard of Tianji Chanyuan really easy to use? My surname is Shen, and I'm not scared. I leave the letter and don't pay attention. If they really want to argue with the Taoist master, when the Taoist master carries that Lou Zhang up the Bukong Mountain, there will naturally be more opportunities."

"Yes."

Feng Xiao vaguely felt that this Buddhist verse was asking Shen Du to return something, and there was a hint of persuasion, but it was just a feeling, after all, she couldn't understand this thing.

So he just stuffed the letter back into the envelope and put it on Shen Du's desk.

Shen Du glanced at it, but didn't look at it.

Yao Qing looked at him, although he knew that he should retire, and that he should not ask more about the Daoist, but after careful consideration, it was indeed difficult to solve all kinds of problems.

She still asked: "Taoist, as the saying goes, thieves don't get away, you really didn't bring anything back from Tianji Temple?"

"… "

Shen Du's fingers just touched the scroll he had just put down, and when he heard a few words in her words, the corners of his eyes twitched. He only lifted his eyelids and looked at Yao Qing with a smile.

"Does the thief not get away?"

"Ah, this..."

Oops, I accidentally said the wrong thing again!

She knew that she was talking too much and was wrong. The Taoist was still able to hold back when he came back, but in recent days, he found that the Taoist's temper seemed to be a little better than before, and he became presumptuous almost naturally.

I didn't feel it earlier, but now I pushed myself into the fire pit.

Yao Qing's heroic face suddenly became a little more nervous, and he quickly searched his stomach to find a good reason for himself.

It's just that people are in a hurry, but they can't think of anything.

At this tense moment, it was Cui Hong at the door who glanced at Yao Qing without a smile on his face, and said lightly, "Even if the Taoist master really brought something back, it wasn't Yao Youshi who could put his mouth on it, right? "

"you!"

Yao Qing's brows rose almost instantly, no matter how he heard it, he felt that Cui Hong's words were harsh.

Shen Du heard it, but looked at Cui Hong silently, but there was no strange expression on Cui Hong's face, but he couldn't see anything.

Ming is to ridicule Yao Qing, but secretly it is to relieve her siege.

No matter how you look at it, it also cares about Yao Qing, but when he was outside Bukong Mountain, he planned on her and made her face off against the East Lake Sword Sect to die.

Man, that's really interesting.

"Stop arguing. I will do what I told you before, and send some more sentries to keep an eye on the Bukong Mountain. If Tianji Temple does anything, I'll know it right away. Let's all step back."

In the end, he didn't say a word to Cui Hong, nor did he say a word to Yao Qing.

When these words came out, he had already withdrawn his gaze, buried his head, and continued to read the book in his hand.

Naturally, Yao Qing did not dare to say anything else. Although he hated Cui Hong in his heart, he had no choice but to endure it and retreated with the others.

Feng Xiao also quietly exited, and carefully closed the door.

At this time, Shen Du stared at the opened page, only to feel that every word and sentence that was originally coherent jumped up on the page, unable to read it at all.

I was upset.

That strange evil fire came up, making him suffocate in his heart.

In the days since he came back, he has been deliberately forgetting, but this letter from the Tianji Temple, written by the wise monk Zenzai, broke all the false appearances and disturbed his false peace.

With a sound of "crash", Shen Du finally threw the book in his hand impatiently, smashing it on the front of the bookcase, and fell down a piece of the real ancient book.

He also fell down the scroll that he had put away.

He had the sandalwood beads stolen from the Thousand Buddhas Hall at hand. He sat behind the desk for a long time before resisting the urge to walk over to pick up the scroll and open it, and instead grabbed the string of beads.

The faint scent of sandalwood entered my mind again for a while.

Shen Du strangely felt a little calmer.

He blinked, his eyes flickered several times, and finally he pulled hard and broke the string wearing this string of Buddha beads. All the round Buddha beads were scattered on the table, and a few rolled to the edge. .

As early as in the Temple of the Thousand Buddhas, he had already discovered the secrets hidden in the Buddha beads, but he had clearly coveted and yearned for these three volumes of Buddha Treasures, hoping that it might be able to solve the backlash of the Six Harmonies God Art; When I brought this thing back to Jiantian Cliff, I couldn't even get the interest to look at it and study it.

so that for a moment—

Shen Du even began to doubt himself, did he lose his soul, change his life, or was he suddenly not afraid of death

"A sentence is sent from the west, and the lamp is only in the center?"

"laugh."

"No one can speak! I want to see if this legendary three-volume Buddhist treasure is really that powerful."
