Just when Tianjiu was immersed in hard thinking, a slight cough interrupted his thoughts.
"Amitabha!"
Nie Hai's figure slowly appeared in the summit square. Before the Buddha's voice fell, people had already arrived at the foot of Dongzu Buddha. They then kowtowed to the Buddha with a pious face. After a hundred breaths, they stood up and glanced at where they were standing.
Tianjiu on the side with his mouth raised.
"Excuse me, nephew! It is indeed not an easy task to clean this thousand-foot-long square and the thousand-foot-long Buddha so clean and spotless."
"Hehe! It's good that Uncle Master knows this. Don't disturb others early in the morning in the future. Wuchen spent a lot of effort to clean this place last night. You, Amitabha, woke me up before I even woke up."
Nie Hai's face trembled slightly, and he finally nodded and said: "Brother Wuchen, did I come early? In fact, if it had been three years ago, this place would have been packed with people. According to regulations, only disciples of the same generation or above can be found here.
You can come up and go south together. Most of the disciples who have cultivated the golden elixir have gone to war. Those who are in the temple are not worshiping and those who are kowtowing are not here. The monk is not here today, I am afraid that no one will come to kowtow. Therefore, my nephew must clean up frequently.
Bow down and don’t let Dongzu Buddha go to waste!”
"Uncle Master, you're not here just to teach, are you? If so, your mission is completed and you can go down the mountain!" Tianjiu said, squatting on the ground, with a green jade pot in his hand.
"You?! You are so bold! Under the Buddha Dongzu, you dare to drink alcohol openly, it is a sin!" Nie Hai saw the moment Tianjiu took out the jade pot, stared at Tianjiu with a pair of bull's eyes, pointed at Tianjiu and shouted.
"Oh? Really? Hehe! That's right! In that case, I won't drink anymore, so you don't have to be so angry, right?!" Tianjiu said, flipping his palm, and the jade pot was put into the storage ring.
"Wuchen, let me ask you again, what is your purpose in coming to Famen Temple? Although I, Niehai, did not expose you to your face, it was because you were indeed not a bad person. Otherwise, I would have pinched you to death!
"
"Tch! Uncle Niehai, you are the leader of the Nine Saints after all, why are you so stupid! This guy defeated Xianlian Peak, and neither received Huachen's retreat order nor stopped you tigers and wolves, so you still have to go back to Huachen
Is that right? This kid was originally a disciple of Master Huiming. The master said before his death that if the kid can’t survive, he should go to the Dharma sect, so I came directly here! Uh, don’t say anything about exposing me, kid.
Master Abbot has found out all the details about you. Including your performance at Xianlu Peak, he also knows everything clearly, quack quack! You are finished! You sat by the river and watched the fun, but the monsters took away the fruit.
!Bad! Really bad!”
"You...! Okay, I'm going to challenge you! I'll just kill you and everything will be fine! Do you dare to follow me to Tiantai Mountain?" Nie Hai was trembling. I really don't know what this greasy-mouthed guy said.
Which sentence is true and which sentence is false? He simply used a challenge to solve the problem.
"Challenge me? Why go to Tiantai Mountain? Can't you just do it here?" Tianjiu rolled his eyes.
"Amitabha! Monk in pants, this is under the Eastern Patriarch Buddha. Don't damage any plants or trees!"
"Hey, hey, hey! You are still talking filthy words under Dong Zu Buddha! What kind of pants are you wearing? Grandpa Buddha, you have a spirit in heaven, just use that one-pointed peak curse to shoot him to death!"
"Amitabha~!" Nie Hai was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke and his teeth kept chattering.
"Uncle Master, please don't act violently and kill people! I can tell you that your claws are powerful, but I also have a lot of golden elixir bombs and Nascent Soul bombs on me. I think you have seen how powerful they are.
If it explodes, it won’t be a big deal if it kills you. But if it doesn’t kill you, but it kills Grandpa Dong Zufo, the sins of you and me will be huge.”
"Okay! How do you accept my challenge?"
"That's right! To put it politely, everyone has face. It's a challenge. It's not impossible. The old rules are: crystals clear the way. There are not many. One hundred thousand top-quality crystals. As long as you hand over one hundred thousand, I will risk it.
I'm going to get on that guillotine with you!"
"It's the rooftop!"
"It's pretty much the same. If you go there, someone's head will fall off. Isn't it the guillotine?"
"I don't have 100,000 top quality crystals! Can 10,000 be enough? That's all the little monk has!" Nie Hai's face turned dark.
"Tch! You really think I'm a beggar! The price of your challenge is based on Bei Baifeng's. Last time he offered 50,000 yuan for the best, but I didn't accept it. I told him: Go back and raise 100,000 yuan before you come back to me, otherwise
There is no way! However, you can also wait for a while, wait for me to successfully conceive a baby, and then you can challenge again. At that time, we are all Yuan Ying ancestors. Although it is still a cross-level challenge, at least it is not a leapfrog, so the price is
, I will definitely float down, and when the time comes, maybe 50,000 top-grade ones will be enough!"
"You want to have a baby?" Nie Hai slowly narrowed his eyes.
"Not bad! I can't see that I will attack Nascent Soul on the 3rd or 5th day of the month. Well, aren't you short of crystals? Why don't you come and help me protect the Dharma? I can consider lowering another 30,000 top grade to accept your offer.
challenge."
"Dharma protector? You were struck to death by lightning. Wouldn't it be better for a young monk? I'm full and can hold on! I'm here to protect you! Humph!"
When Tianjiu was about to speak, the western sky swayed, and a thin figure appeared, and a rich voice followed: "Amitabha! Boy, if I come to protect you, what kind of reward can you give me?
?”
"Master Kugui!"
Tianjiu was surprised at first, then overjoyed.
"Master, you finally came to accept the appointment?! I thought you were going to sit there for twenty years before coming back!"
"Master Kugui! Little monk Niehai, pay your respects to the master!"
The moment the young monk Niehai saw Ku Hui appear, he immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed three times.
"Get up, Nie Hai, why are you being polite to me! Look at this kid, he is just a cunning old man, and he is not polite at all." Old monk Ku Hui moved lightly and landed between Tianjiu and Nie Hai.
"Master, this man's identity is doubtful and he is not a member of my Buddha. Are you really prepared to protect him?"
"Amitabha! Nie Hai, it is said that one thought becomes a Buddha, and one thought becomes a demon. The Buddha pays attention to fate, and the Buddha pays attention to wisdom. This kid has the fate of Buddha, and also has the root of wisdom. What is he if he is not a Buddha? The reason why the Dharma has been passed down for thousands of years is because it can
It embraces the vast ocean and encompasses everything. Since a murderer can become a Buddha, why can't a kid?! Nie Hai, since you want to find the great road, you must look far. If you blind your eyes with one leaf, you will be abandoned by the great road sooner or later. Amitabha!"
"Hey~!" Nie Hai took a breath of cold air, with cold sweat on his forehead, and lowered his head and replied: "Master's teachings are correct, the young monk will reflect deeply! Master, the young monk has resigned!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Uncle Master, you haven't said yet whether you're coming to protect the Dharma! I'm counting on you!" Tianjiu greeted Nie Hai loudly as he watched Nie Hai turn away.
"Amitabha! When the celestial phenomena rise, the young monk will come to observe!" As a word floated behind Nie Hai, his figure completely disappeared on the top of the peak.
"Boy, answer me, do you need me to protect you?" Ku Hui looked at the stunned Tianjiu and shouted sternly.
"Huh? I think so too, but please, I'm afraid the price will be ridiculously high! Let's forget it. With Uncle Niehai here, the average Xiao Xiao shouldn't dare to be unscrupulous. Besides, this is a sect, and it's all about virtue.
Eminent monk, the danger is not great!" Tianjiu waved his hands repeatedly.
"Hmph! Boy, you are wrong! Buddha can kill people, and Buddha can also eat people without spitting out their bones! Otherwise, there would be no strategy to advance southward. A single advance southward would destroy hundreds of millions of people and turn tens of thousands of Buddhas into ashes. You
Don’t you have feelings?”
"Hey! That's right! Old monk, you are the one who is better, and it makes sense. Well, since you are asking to protect the Dharma, let's talk about your price first, and don't open your mouth like a lion!" Tianjiu nodded,
Eyeballs dripping non-stop.
"Don't worry, my condition is very simple. It's just a matter of words for you."
"Uh? What are you talking about?" Tianjiu's heart suddenly trembled.
"Hehe, as long as I say a good word for my old man in front of the Peony Fairy yesterday, it will be enough to ask her to let me go." The old monk Kugui said, his eyes full of hope.
"What? Fairy Peony?" Tianjiu's head still hadn't reacted.
"Yes, but not now, when, I will tell you then, how about it?"
"This...this...will she listen to me?" Tianjiu hesitated, because he did not want to tell the old monk the true situation between him and Princess Peony.
"Yes, she will definitely do it! I am sure of it!"
"Okay, deal! Since you are confident, hehehe, I have nothing to say! It's just one sentence. If she doesn't agree, I'll beat her to death!"
Although he said this, he kept muttering in his heart: "Grandpa! This girl probably hates me so much. If she gets her colorful peonies back, I will die if she doesn't!"
