This is the most basic etiquette
Tacitly, let’s have some incense before we talk about business.
Of course, for those who have pure beliefs in their hearts, it is only right to offer incense and worship Buddha.
"We can't let you two donors enter the inner temple without the consent of the abbot." After the young monks Xu Qianqian and Xu Tengfei finished offering incense, they pretended to enter the inner temple and stepped in front of the two of them with a calm tone. and a steady road
When Xu Tengfei saw this monk standing in front of Xu Qianqian without leaving a message at all, he felt a little unhappy in his heart.
They, the grandfather and the grandson, finally found this quiet place and climbed up to such a bullshit Duan Ya Mountain, but they couldn't enter such a temple.
Of course, he was unhappy, but he still said nothing. He knew that at this time, in this place, under this situation, his young master's temper was absolutely not allowed to appear.
"Can this little master hand this thing over to your abbot for me?"
When Xu Qianqian faced the little monk's obstruction, he did not show any displeasure. Instead, with a polite smile on his face, he took out the sandalwood bead that he had always carried very preciously and said: He clasped his hands and put the sandalwood beads into the little monk's hands.
The young monk only followed the instructions and did not disobey the abbot's wishes. He was not an unkind person.
In fact, being kind to others has always been their purpose, so the little monk nodded and took the sandalwood beads handed over by Xu Qianqian, then clasped his hands and turned around and walked into the inner temple.
Then…
After about five minutes, the young monk immediately walked out of the inner temple.
"The two donors and abbots said you can go in."
Xu Tengfei looked surprised when he heard this. It seems that the effect of the sandalwood beads is really not ordinary.
I wonder what the abbot of this temple has to do with that sandalwood bead.
Compared with the surprise that was inadvertently revealed in Xu Tengfei's eyebrows, Xu Qianqian was much calmer. This situation was completely within his expectation. He knew that as long as he came to him in person with the sandalwood beads, he would definitely see him.
As for who this person is...
Haha, as long as you enter, naturally all the doubts will be solved
Xu Tengfei calmed down and followed Xu Qianqian into the inner temple. He soon came to a relatively small but the Buddhist aura that hit his face made Xu Tengfei and Xu Qianqian subconsciously feel a hint of admiration.
In front of them there was an old man wearing monk's plain clothes
The old man was sitting cross-legged, tapping a wooden fish in his hand, holding a string of rosary beads, and chanting Buddhist scriptures to himself.
"Come and sit down"
The aura of this old man makes people feel unprecedentedly peaceful. It's hard to say exactly what kind of aura he is. Some are tall, some are majestic, some are stooped, and some are even a little small... This complex aura that hits his face makes Xu Tengfei feel so confused
The qualities this old monk possesses... are too complicated.
Although I don’t know the origin of this old monk, Xu Tengfei can at least draw a conclusion at this time. This old monk is by no means an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Xu Tengfei began to guess in his mind: "Could it be that... Grandpa came to Duoyashan this time just to find such an eminent monk and use some superstitious methods to resolve the crisis of the Xu family?"
After figuring this out, Xu Tengfei was not only a little disappointed
If the facts are really as he guessed, then grandpa is really wrong this time.
Although people at Xu Qianqian's age were more or less superstitious,...
In today's era, the first fundamental thing to stand on is that you can't be superstitious about anything. It's okay to believe in some things, but you must not be "superstitious". Any wealthy family in the capital that can have a super status understands that superstition can kill people.
therefore…
Xu Tengfei knew that once his grandfather started to settle for the next best thing and believe in something that was not very scientific, at least on the surface, then...the Xu family would be completely defeated.
Just when Xu Tengfei was silently thinking about these things, his grandfather Xu Qianqian suddenly spoke.
"Haha Tianjiao didn't expect that you would actually fulfill your promise. I thought that after so many years you would completely forget about the sandalwood beads."
Hearing Xu Qianqian's words, the old monk, known as "Tianjiao", shook his head lightly: "The donor's excessive obsession will make you fall into the abyss of hell that goes against the will of the Buddha."
"Really? Then if I don't go to hell, who will?"
Xu Qianqian said with a very calm smile.
The meaning in Xu Qianqian's words was profound. It seemed that he was speaking to the old monk in front of him who seemed to be called "Tianjiao", but he also seemed to be speaking to Xu Tengfei beside him.
If I don’t go to hell, who will
He obviously wanted to say that it didn't matter whether he went to hell or not. The important thing was to preserve their Xu family and benefit the descendants of their Xu family.
In fact, from this aspect, Xu Qianqian is really a qualified elder.
Xu Tengfei naturally understood the meaning of grandfather Xu Qianqian's words. He nodded silently in his heart, was silently moved, and silently made up his mind. He made up his mind that if this crisis could be overcome, Xu Tengfei must work hard. He deeply knew who he was in the past. What you did is not bad enough, but it is still too far.
"Tianjiao, I come here this time because I have an unkind invitation." At this time, Xu Qianqian sat silently on the futon aside and said with a calm look.
At this moment, Xu Tengfei felt a faint sense of awakening.
"Tianjiao... Tianjiao"
In his mind, he finally remembered the legend about the Three Treasures of the Capital.
The Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Young Masters of the Capital... Tianjiao
Could it be that the genius who has always been confusing and mysterious... really refers to one person
In this case, what kind of powerful person will this genius be
Realizing this, Xu Tengfei looked at the old monk in front of him who was called "Tianjiao" by Xu Qianqian. His eyes were full of shock. If he was really the legendary figure called Tianjiao... Then why would he become a monk here? Said... He was already a monk when he first became famous
Xu Tengfei didn’t know what was going on and was filled with doubts.
At this time, the monk who was called "Tianjiao" smiled lightly and slowly answered Xu Qianqian's words just now.
"I understand that you are here because of the feud between your Xu family and Luo family, right?"
One sentence reveals Xu Qianqian’s intention
Xu Qianqian heard the words and smiled and said: "It seems... although you are here, the news is not blocked at all. You monks pay attention to the purity of the six roots, but you are still concerned with worldly things. Will this not delay your practice?"
The old monk said: "Before the poor monk converted to my Buddha, he left four sandalwood beads for four people in the secular world. These are the secular roots left by fate that cannot be cut off. This time you came to me with the sandalwood beads." It’s the second one. This is the cause and effect that belongs to the poor monk. It needs to be repaid. Only when the repayment is completed can the poor monk’s practice be perfect. So when your Xu family and the Luo family were in dispute, the poor monk expected that you would take this bead. Come and find me”
Xu Qianqian said: "So you are still as clever and calculating as ever. Since you already know the current situation of our Xu family and Luo family, then I will not explain it to you and directly tell me what to do to survive this situation." crisis"
The old monk said: "If the benefactor is a monk and does not lie, if you listen to the poor monk's true words, then this little benefactor should avoid it."
As he spoke, the old monk pointed at Xu Tengfei, who had been silently standing aside.
Xu Qianqian knew the old monk's style of doing things and immediately turned to Xu Tengfei and waved his hand: "Tengfei, please go out first."
Xu Tengfei nodded silently and then exited the room.
After leaving the room, Xu Tengfei frowned slightly and thought to himself: "What's going on? Grandpa came here to ask this old monk. What's the joke? In this situation, even grandpa can't think of any good solution. It's such a bad situation." Can the old man and monk solve the problem? Isn’t Grandpa a little overconfident?”
But then I thought about it, Xu Tengfei still held a glimmer of hope and luck in his heart
"If this person is really the legendary genius... maybe he really has some incredible abilities. No matter how powerful my grandfather is, he can at most be named one of the four kings of the capital. Even someone like Han Zhennan and Han Lao San are just... It’s really unimaginable how powerful the Four Heavenly Kings of Beijing can be if one person is famous enough to stand on equal footing with a collection of these beings... I hope grandpa’s decision this time is correct. I can only place my expectations on that old monk.”
… …
I don’t know how long it took, but Xu Tengfei just felt that the sunset on the horizon had slowly set.
It wasn't until this moment that the door of the room behind Xu Tengfei suddenly opened.
"Grandpa" Xu Tengfei turned around and suddenly discovered that Xu Qianqian came out with a smile on his face and a relaxed look on his face.
… What kind of situation is this? Is it possible that the entire Xu family is helpless? In the end, Grandpa found a solution after chatting with the old monk for a few words.
ps: Today’s first update time is back to normal. I’m ashamed that I didn’t update yesterday. There are thirty chapters left in total. If you want to scold the left hand, feel free to scold him. The left hand usually has too many things to do... There is so much helplessness in life that it’s hard to say anything. The left hand can only say one sentence. I will definitely make up for it without missing a chapter.
