The next morning, the morning light had not yet come on, and the purple mist was still thick in the sky.
Dozens of bald heads rushed to Baizhu's residence excitedly and knocked hard on the door.
"Senior brother?"
After meditating all night, Baizhu suddenly woke up while sitting cross-legged.
As soon as he opened the door, he was startled by dozens of shining bald heads outside.
One, two...eleven.
Except for the one in colorful clothes, all the other monks were here.
"Senior brother." Bai Zhu smiled bitterly: "We don't need so many people, right?"
At the end of yesterday's morning class, after Xu Yan said those words to himself, Wu Huai quietly appeared in the Buddhist hall.
After the red-faced monk briefly mentioned the living corpse, he ordered Xu Yan and the others to accompany Baizhu.
But Baizhu didn't expect that there would be so many.
"Amitabha." Xu Lang's eyes were solemn: "The woman at the foot of the mountain is a tiger, little junior brother, senior brother has come specially to protect you."
"The five colors make people blind, and the five tones make people deaf. Junior brother, I am just worried about your practice, so I specially accompanied you down the mountain." It was Xu Ze who said this.
"I want to go out and play."
"..."
The bald heads in front of me were all talking, like a group of strange birds chirping.
"alright!"
A sudden loud shout suppressed all the noise.
Xuhong, who was carrying the iron stove on his back, just howled, and everyone stared at him angrily, making him shrink back quickly.
"It's not easy to find a teacher to ask for leave. It's a rare opportunity!"
Xuhong slapped Baizhu and staggered him unceremoniously:
"Everyone wants to go out and have fun, who cares about your nonsense!"
Baizhu: "..."
"Okay, okay." Xu Yan touched his big belly and thought for a moment: "You can't go too many, otherwise the teacher will punish you. Well, just three."
Regardless of the mourners around him, Xu Yan picked Xu Hong and Xu Yu.
"Where is the other one?" Xu Lang asked.
"Are you stupid? Of course the one left behind is myself." Xu Yan answered calmly.
Three of them had bright smiles, while the rest had sad faces and said nothing.
"Wait, wait." Xu Lang rolled his eyes, stretched out his hand and said:
"Xu has never been down the mountain before, how about letting him come back?"
Xu Wei, who was born in a daze, saw that the conversation was suddenly directed at him, panicked and waved his hands repeatedly.
"That's fine."
Xu Yan pondered for a moment and nodded.
"I'll change it for Xu Hong. Xu Hong can go back to sleep."
"I……"
As soon as Xuhong glared, he was slapped and lost his temper.
"I, I... I'm not going down the mountain!" Xu Laoxu shook his head hurriedly: "I'm just here to see off my junior brother."
"You really don't want to go?"
"Don't go!"
"Okay." Xu Yan glanced at him and sighed again.
Xu Le was brought up by him since childhood, and no one in the temple knew his affairs better than himself.
"Brothers..."
Bai Shu couldn't help but ask: "Why isn't Senior Brother Xuxing here? But what did Junior Brother do inappropriately to offend Senior Brother Xuxing?"
"Xing Xing?"
Xu Yan was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed.
The other monks all smiled and said nothing, with expressions on their faces that showed relief after constipation.
"Junior brother Xu Xing, he was kicked in the head by a donkey."
On the side, Xu was careful about his words and said cautiously.
"He was really kicked by a donkey. He was born near Changle City. He was accidentally seen by the teacher and was brought back to the mountains."
Seeing Bai Shu's expression of disbelief, he was helpless and explained:
"He heard that being a monk cannot marry a wife, so he wanted to go to Goulan to experience it, but he was too young..."
"But he was too young to do hard work. I heard a folk remedy somewhere and wanted to cut off my big black donkey."
Xu Yan smiled strangely and took over the words: "Then, he was almost trampled to death by his own black donkey."
"It's true." Xu Lia added: "Even his brains were stepped out. The teacher took him to the mountains for first aid. I saw it with my own eyes."
Bai Shu twitched the corner of his mouth and stopped talking.
"So, Xu Xing has always been unsociable."
Xu Yan concluded: "He is not targeting you, so there is no need to take it to heart."
"Understood."
Bai Shu nodded.
"Okay, let's disperse!"
Xu Yan roared and used his hands and feet to drive out all the monks who were unwilling to give up. Some of the few who resisted were carried away by him from a distance.
"Go and say goodbye to the teacher, and then set off."
Xu Yu geared up: "Changle City is so fun!"
"good."
Bai Shu nodded, and they took off into the air, heading straight for a Buddhist hall on the top of the mountain.
The mountain breeze is cold and everything is silent.
Bai Shu and the others had just arrived at the top of the mountain when they saw a red-faced monk standing outside the door, his eyes seemingly closed.
"teacher!"
Bai Shu and others hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"I'm going to Changle City today. I'm afraid you'll have to stay there for a while, at least several months."
Wuhuai slowly spoke:
"Po Chi's ideas are weird and ancient. If something goes wrong, he will send me a message at any time. Do you understand?"
"Disciple knows."
"This book is for you. Remember to read it before practicing."
As soon as Wu Huai raised his hand, a light yellow book appeared in his hand. After Baizhu took it, he flipped through it slightly.
When you see it, you can see the image of a great Asura spitting fire from his mouth and supporting the sun and moon.
There are countless densely packed small characters annotating the side, and when you open it, there are various pictures of the meridians and circulation routes of the human body.
"It records my experiences and understandings during my practice. If you don't understand anything at that time, you can ask me at any time."
"Disciple understands." Bai Shu nodded.
"Practice will inevitably lead to the world of mortals. This is just the beginning. You will have to travel alone in the future."
Wu Huai's voice was light: "It doesn't matter whether you drink or eat, I won't punish you too much. There is only one thing you need to keep in mind."
"Teacher, please speak."
"You must never approach women, and you must never flirt with the female benefactor at the foot of the mountain." Wu Huai solemnly said: "If you do it, don't blame me for breaking your legs!"
"My disciple is still a boy, he doesn't understand anything about men and women."
Bai Shu said shyly: "Teacher, don't worry, this disciple has never flirted with a female donor, nor will he approach women."
"Then so be it."
Without hesitation, he waved his sleeves and walked into the hall.
Bai Shu and others looked at each other, bowed to the hall, and began to retreat.
"Senior brother."
Bai Shu asked curiously: "What are you eating?"
Xu Hong carried the square iron stove on his back. After saying goodbye to Wuhuai, he touched the iron stove and didn't know what it was. He put it to his mouth and bit it loudly.
"Heirloom snacks."
Xuhong touched it again and handed it to Bai Shu.
In the palm of his hand, there were several hot iron balls, the size of an egg, glowing red, which made Xuhong's palm sizzle.
"It's very delicious." Xu Hong didn't realize it at all, "Senior brother Xu Yu, little junior brother, do you want it?"
"Just one." Xu Yu reached out and took it: "My teeth are sore after eating too much."
"Junior brother?"
"don't want."
"Why?"
Facing Xu Hong's gaze, Baizhu said sincerely: "The doctor said that my stomach and intestines are not good, so I can only eat soft food."
…
The three of them waited for Xu Yan for a moment, and soon he transformed into a escaping light and headed straight to the top of the mountain.
The fat monk's face was slightly bruised, and he had obviously been punched. He cursed for a while, and the four of them went straight to Changle City.
About half an hour later, the four people connected the escape light and moved forward.
Soon, the big city that Bai Zhu saw when he arrived came into view again.
"Changle City!" Xu Yan laughed loudly: "We're here!"
