From the appearance point of view, this old monk, who was even better than an octogenarian old man, suddenly knelt down in front of Lu Xun.
Lu Xun's first reaction was to be confused, very confused!
I drop a tortoise!
Is this messing around
Lu Xun was so dazed that he didn't help him immediately.
When he realized it, he quickly reached out to help the old monk, but at the same time he was secretly vigilant.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Although it is true that there is a demon monk in front of him, how can this be playing!
After coming to Shuiqian Temple, Lu Xun did have a good impression of this place, and felt that it was quite like a place outside the world, but if there was anything unusual, he would definitely pull Lin Chan to hide behind Maonanbei immediately, and then put the cat away. Nanbei went up and asked her to chop the turtle.
But the scene in front of him reminded Lu Xun of something.
He thought of his situation in Qingling City.
Qingling City is a big city built on the turtle shell of the black turtle, and the trial place of the Demon Sect [Gui Shishou] is located inside the turtle shell of the black turtle.
In Qingling City, turtles are a symbol of auspiciousness. You can often see leisurely turtles on the road, big and small.
Lu Xun remembered very clearly that when he entered Qingling City, the tortoises on the side of the road all lowered their heads when they saw him, and put their heads on the ground, as if they were saluting!
This is not just one or two turtles doing this kind of action, but all the turtles in the entire Qingling City will do this action as soon as they see Lu Xun!
He was also very confused at that time, but he didn't understand the tortoise language, and he couldn't communicate with them, so he didn't get an answer so far.
Now combined with the old monk's reaction when he saw the scabbard...
The reason for this phenomenon in Qingling City is probably because of the scabbard!
"It's okay, okay, at first I thought I had some intriguing relationship with turtles, but it wasn't because of me." Lu Xun said in his heart.
"Master, why is this?" Lu Xun asked.
It's difficult to kneel without saying a word!
The old monk was lifted up by Lu Xun, still with a respectful expression on his face, he said, "It scares the benefactor, because the benefactor's scabbard is a sacred object."
"Holy object?" Lu Xun glanced at the scabbard.
This scabbard was made by Uncle Gui, which Uncle Gui told him himself.
Combined with some similarities in the behavior of Uncle Gui and these demon monks...
Thinking about it, even if Uncle Gui is not a turtle, he has something to do with them.
The former is more likely!
"Yes, this is made from the tortoise shell of the black tortoise, and it is made from the hardest part of the tortoise shell. It is naturally considered a sacred object of our clan." The old monk explained.
Lu Xun nodded when he heard the words, as if he understood.
"I see." He said in his heart.
Qingling City belongs to the sphere of influence of the Demon Sect, and this city is built on the shell of the Xuangui. It seems that the Xuangui has some relationship with the Demon Sect.
I just don't know whether Uncle Gui obtained the essence of the black tortoise's shell, and then refined the scabbard, or...he is inextricably related to the black tortoise itself!
After hearing that the turtles took shape, the turtle shell became a thing outside of the body.
Therefore, this guess is not impossible!
"Since the scabbard is a sacred object of your clan, it shouldn't matter if the sacred object wants to eat something from your temple?" Lu Xun said in his heart.
Lu Xun looked at the old monk, thought for a moment, and then directly explained his purpose.
The black rope on the scabbard danced up and down, as if it was also showing its attitude and position, adding persuasiveness and credibility to Lu Xun's words.
The old monk looked at Lu Xun and the others, then at the scabbard, with a chrysanthemum-like smile on his face, and asked, "What does the holy object want from my temple?"
Lu Xun was actually quite curious, what exactly did the scabbard want to eat
I saw the black rope floating up, and then pointed to the palm of the stone Buddha.
In the palm of the stone Buddha, there is a flower carved from stone, and at the stamen, there is a stone bead.
It seems unremarkable.
I don't know what it is.
"Since the holy thing is wanted, then take it." The old monk said with a smile, surprisingly cheerful.
This surprised even Lu Xun, after all, he was just a stranger.
And according to the normal routine, shouldn't it be right to grab the holy relic of the clan immediately after seeing it
How did you get here, and it was really enshrined
Is it a little too sloppy...
Could it be that the monks in this small dilapidated temple really have a detached heart
Just as Lu Xun was about to say a few polite words, the scabbard flew out of his hand.
It flew to the stone Buddha by itself, pried it lightly with its bottom end, and the stone bead flew out.
Then it used its own hole to pick it up, and the stone bead fell into the scabbard steadily.
There was also a "boo-" sound.
Its black rope waved a few times in the air, looking very satisfied.
After doing all this, it slowly floated back into Lu Xun's hands.
"Ahem, I made Teacher laugh." Lu Xun put his palms together and saluted.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, the old monk didn't expect that he would be able to see the sacred object in this life." He waved his hand slowly and said.
From the beginning to the end, he didn't even say much about what this stone bead was.
Of course, it is also possible that he himself does not know...
But it must be a precious thing, otherwise the scabbard would not be so urgent, and most likely it should be related to turtles.
After finishing all this, Lu Xun brought Maonanbei and Lin Chan to burn incense in the temple.
He had a very good impression of this Shuiqian Temple, and thought that if he had a chance in the future, he would come here to have a look and offer incense sticks again.
Before leaving, the old monk didn't make any reservations, it seemed that it was true as he said, he was satisfied after seeing the sacred object once in this life.
It may also be that the old monk is really profound in Buddhism and has fewer desires.
Lu Xun and the others sat back on the paper crane, and the paper crane flew high into the sky.
Not long after going up to the sky, the black rope on the scabbard lightly patted the back of Lu Xun's hand, and then pointed to the Suishan Temple below.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xun stopped moving forward and controlled the paper crane to float in the air.
Soon, he heard another "boo-" sound.
A bead flew out of the scabbard and floated in the hole.
It is no longer a stone bead, but it is green all over, with turquoise air lingering around it!
Perhaps this is its true face!
Lu Xun tried to check its basic information, but all the questions came up.
Guided by the scabbard, some of these green airflows were injected into the clouds, and some of them drifted downward with the wind.
The clouds turned into rain clouds at this moment, and it began to drizzle.
The flowers, plants and trees that have been nourished by raindrops all show vigorous vitality.
In just a few breaths of time, the mountain flowers are in full bloom and the grass is green.
Even the dead trees in the temple have sprouted!
It's amazing!
And those green air currents that were blown into the temple along with the wind first blew towards the four young monks, and then split into four strands and injected them into their bodies.
The four young monks were in a daze, but they didn't notice anything.
And more green air flows towards the old monk standing in front of the door, injecting into the dying old monk's body.
His complexion has improved visibly with the naked eye, although he will not be rejuvenated, but he has indeed lost a lot of old age.
The old monk stood in front of the door, looking up and smiling.
He clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name:
-"Amitabha."
