The great monk squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Li Chen, and then shook his head: "Hey, even monks are not doing their jobs properly these days."
Li Chen smiled awkwardly, and when he was about to respond, the other party waved his hand: "Let's get started."
The boy next to me came over holding a half-foot-long bamboo tube in both hands.
Li Chen took the bamboo tube, which was filled with hundreds of bamboo sticks.
"Shake it~"
So perfunctory?
Li Chen was stunned for a moment, then slowly shook the bamboo tube in his hand.
After a few breaths, a bamboo stick fell to the ground.
The little boy next to him, with quick eyesight and quick hands, stepped forward, grabbed the bamboo stick, and handed it directly to the big monk's hand.
The great monk yawned, slowly opened his eyes through a thin slit, and glanced at the bamboo stick.
The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stood up with a bang.
He rubbed his eyes, looked at the bamboo stick front and back several times, and finally confirmed that there was not a single word on the bamboo stick.
"No signature!"
"Finally shaken out!"
The tone was full of surprise and surprise.
The great monk was finally willing to raise his head and look at Li Chen, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Amitabha."
"Lao Monk's 'Xinguang', I wonder what the young monk calls it?"
At this time, the great monk swept away his previous decline and was all smiles.
But Li Chen became more and more confused.
He had asked Monk Yixiu about the great monk's Buddhist name before, but Yikyu said that the monk had a weird temperament and never mentioned his Buddhist name.
Unexpectedly, he took the initiative to say it now.
After Lichen hesitated for a moment, he put his hands together and saluted: "Little monk Lichen, I have met Master Xinguang."
"Oh, Li Chen, Li Chen, this is a good name."
The great monk reached out and rubbed his bald head, but the excitement on his face could not be hidden.
Seeing his helpless look, Li Chen had a feeling that this great monk seemed to have been waiting for him to appear.
"Agua, prepare to close the door."
"Huh?~"
The little boy should be the 'Agua' in the big monk's mouth. When he heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly flashed his big eyes, looked at Li Chen, then looked at the big monk, and finally a smile appeared on his face: "
Okay~ It’ll be over soon~”
As soon as he finished speaking, the little body flashed quickly in the small temple.
Everything he passed seemed to have been washed and spotless.
At this time, Li Chen and the great monk had arrived outside the small temple.
Li Chen pointed at the boy who was packing his things and couldn't help but ask: "He...is this..."
The great monk laughed and said, "Don't be offended by Master Lichen. It will be fine if you become familiar with him in the future."
Seeing the confused look on Li Chen's face, the great monk explained: "To be honest with Master, I have been waiting for you, great monk!"
"wait for me?"
Li Chen's eyes narrowed, and he had more doubts in his heart: "I'm sorry for my blindness, young monk, but this seems to be my first time seeing the master."
The great monk Xinguang laughed loudly: "That's right."
"This is also the first time I've seen you." He handed the bamboo stick in his hand to Li Chen.
Li Chen didn't know why, but he still reached out to catch it. At this time, he looked at the bamboo stick in his hand with the flickering candlelight.
Suddenly he frowned, looked at the front a few times, and then looked over it a few more times until he was sure that the bamboo stick in his hand did not have any carved words or patterns on the front and back.
"No words?"
"What does it mean?"
The great monk Xinguang reached out and patted his huge bald head again, and said with a smile: "This is the blank sign that I specially stuffed into the bamboo tube, monk."
"Whoever can shake out this bamboo stick is the monk I am waiting for."
Speaking of this, the great monk sighed: "I didn't expect that I stayed here for more than three years before someone finally shook out this bamboo stick."
"What?"
"You mean, I'm the first person to draw this blank sign in the past three years?"
Li Chen asked, holding up the bamboo stick in his hand with some surprise.
"That's right, you are the first one who can draw a blank lot, but it will keep the old monk waiting for a while."
"It's not too late to have a good meal. Fortunately, you showed up. In comparison, the gains in these three years far outweigh the efforts."
"Ah?" Li Chen was surprised.
"Then why is the Master waiting for this blank bamboo stick?"
"Hahaha, well, why don't we talk somewhere else." Monk Xinguang pointed to the front of the alley first.
After Li Chen thought for a moment, he nodded: "Okay."
When he had just taken two steps, a huge sound of heavy objects being moved suddenly came from behind his head.
Li Chen quickly looked back and saw that the temple that was the size of a small pavilion was directly covered with a cloth by the boy named "Agua" and was held upside down in his hand.
Under the moonlight, a soft white light flashed in Agua's eyes.
Li Chen was stunned when he saw this scene, because he could clearly see that Agua's pupils were vertical!
And those kind of pupils are only found in the demon race!
"Amitabha."
"Don't be offended, don't be offended. We'll get to know each other over time."
"get along?"
Li Chen pointed at himself and then at the other party.
The great monk Xinguang nodded: "That's right."
"From now on, this monk will follow you."
"What?"
Li Chen's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
However, Monk Xinguang explained: "It's a long story. It was three years ago that my practice reached a bottleneck.
I divined several times by myself, but could never find a way to break through, so I gave up my practice and traveled around, waiting for opportunities to break through."
"At this moment, I suddenly entered the extremely mysterious 'Void Building' in the world of cultivation."
"In the Void Building, I also met Mr. Void. He told me that if I want to break through the bottleneck, I have to wait for a noble person."
"Noble?"
"Yes, my noble man is the one who can shake out a blank bamboo stick."
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that after keeping me waiting for more than three years, monk, you, a noble man, finally showed up!
As long as I follow you, I will find a way to break through sooner or later." The great monk vowed.
But Li Chen said suspiciously: "Just because of Mr. Vong Kong's words?"
The great monk Xinguang smiled when he heard this: "Of course."
"Master Void's divination skills are far superior to those of monk me."
"What he predicted has never been wrong."
Li Chen's heart was filled with excitement. He went out for a walk and actually picked up a great monk!
"Hey, hey, what's going on? Why isn't the signature signed?"
But at this moment, Li Sao's voice came from not far behind him.
I saw Lisao looking at the little boy Agua in front of her in surprise, lifting the small pavilion and stuffing it into his pocket.
It turns out that small temple is actually a rare magical weapon!
"Master, it's ready."
Under the horrified eyes of everyone, Agua patted the black bag in his hand and placed it directly on his shoulder.
Then he showed an innocent smile to everyone.
"Master, let's go?"
"Okay, follow this Master Lichen. Wherever he goes, where should we go?"
"This is my noble master, master."
"Okay, Master's noble person is Agua's noble person!"
"But……"
As soon as Li Chen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Agua on the side, who grabbed Li Chen's monk's robe and walked out.
Soon the group of five people left the alley.
Not long after they left, a monk suddenly appeared in the alley...
