Chapter 253 The monks in the temple, the young people by the lake
Many monks from outside the country were involved in the affairs of Chongming Sect. Luming Temple also sent an old monk with white eyebrows at that time. However, after solving the problem, the old monk with white eyebrows returned to Luming Temple, but no monks from the temple went to that temple.
Chongming Mountain.
What is the reason?
Because there are very few young monks in Luming Temple, they rarely participate in such worldly affairs. Others may want to know something about ancient ruins and that period of history that no one knows, but for Luming Temple
, then not necessarily.
This ancient temple has existed for too long, even longer than the Chixin Temple.
If Luming Temple were not low-key enough, I am afraid that the most prosperous school of practice today would not be the monks of the Taoist sect.
The white-browed old monk returned to the temple, calmly walked through the courtyard, left through the back door, and started climbing. The monks he met along the way stopped and saluted him. The old monk nodded slightly, passed these monks, and continued forward.
Luming Temple is hidden in the mountains, and outsiders are not allowed to come to the temple on weekdays. Accepting disciples and passing on this kind of thing is just a matter of chance. The monks in the mountain travel down the mountain, and when they meet someone with wisdom, they ask him if he is willing to come here to practice.
, if you don't want to, just give up and never force it, so it has always been extremely clean, especially the back mountain, and no one comes back here.
Halfway up the mountain, there is a small temple.
The white-browed old monk came to the temple, bowed devoutly, and then walked into the temple.
There is a Buddha statue enshrined in the temple, which is just made of clay. There is no painting on it, and there is no gold foil on it. It looks very ordinary and there is nothing special about it.
In front of the Buddha statue, an old monk sat cross-legged. He was wearing a dusty monk's robe. His two eyebrows were actually longer than the white-browed old monk. They spread from the eyebrows to the ground. They looked like two eyebrows.
Drooping vines.
It feels very strange, the old monk is like a statue, without much life.
His eyebrows were also covered with dust, bearing traces of countless years.
How many years did he live?
I'm afraid no one can give me this answer, except the old monk himself.
The white-browed old monk sat in front of the old monk for a long time, and then slowly said: "I followed your wishes and went to see the young man, but I didn't find any connection between him and my senior brother."
The senior monk the old monk was talking about at this moment was naturally the monk in black who left Luming Temple to change the world. He and the white-browed old monk went to the capital of the gods together and saw that very good vassal king.
My senior brother boldly said, "The monk wants to give you a white hat."
So there is a subsequent story in the human world.
After the death of the former prince, many vassal kings were eyeing the throne. At that time, the government was in a state of chaos, so he and his senior brother lived in that vassal prince's mansion.
One day, the vassal king came to ask me, I am already the most outstanding among the vassal kings. If the prince dies, I am the new prince.
According to him, if this is the case, then it should be so. However, the senior brother at the time did not think so. Instead, he laughed. The senior brother said that the Emperor Lingzong would not pass down the throne to the vassal king.
anyone.
At that time, when the vassal king who was not the Emperor of Liang asked why, the senior brother just shook his head.
Sure enough, not long after, Emperor Lingzong issued an edict to appoint the eldest son of the former crown prince as the eldest grandson of the emperor. This sealed the fate of the world.
Later that night, the feudal king came to inquire again, and the senior brother told him the reason.
The former prince died of illness, but he still left behind a family of heirs. If a certain vassal prince becomes the emperor, then how to face the family of the prince who was once the prince? I am afraid that he will have thoughts in his mind, and then he will naturally start to kill.
, On the contrary, if the emperor's eldest grandson becomes the emperor, all the vassal princes will be his uncles. According to the status of the emperor's uncle, he will be able to protect their stability.
At that time, the feudal king had a sudden enlightenment, and from then on he had a new understanding of his senior brother.
But at that time, my senior brother said that the emperor's eldest grandson looked kind, but in fact he was hypocritical. He became emperor, and the vassal kings would not end well.
Even so, Emperor Lingzong was still alive at that time and no one could do anything. So they waited for a few years and watched Emperor Lingzong die. The vassal kings were divided into various places, and the emperor's eldest grandson sat on the dragon throne.
After that, it was the beginning of the elimination of vassals.
The white-browed old monk did nothing in those years. He just followed his senior brother all day long, watching him talk and listening to his stories. However, he found that it seemed that the general trend of the world and everything was in his eyes. He saw it.
Everything was known, and there were no surprises. No matter how the Emperor Lingzong thought about how the world should develop, no one was left out.
My senior brother seems to have seen through the human heart of everything in the world.
After that, he watched his senior brother and the vassal king raise an army, starting with 800 people, and changed the entire world.
My senior brother also became the national counselor of the Liang Dynasty.
Afterwards, the old monk with white eyebrows returned to Luming Temple. A few years later, he went to the capital of the gods again to see his senior brother.
At that time, my senior brother had reached the end of his life and was very skinny, like a ghost.
"Actually, to them, I am just a ghost."
At that time, the dying old monk looked at his junior brother and said with a smile: "They will cause trouble one day, but I also have ways to deal with them."
Those were the last words his senior brother said. At that time, he still didn't think about anything else. He was still thinking about the dynasty.
What is it that makes senior brother never forget that dynasty and be so concerned about that world all his life?
The white-browed old monk thought about it and still had no answer.
He didn't know how long it took before he slowly came back to his senses and looked at the old monk in front of him.
It has been a long time, and the old monk has never said anything.
He seems to have died a long time ago.
But the white-browed old monk was still waiting.
I don't know how long it took before the old monk slowly opened his eyes. His eyes were full of turbidity.
Those are traces of time, something that no one can erase.
The old monk looked at the white-browed old monk in front of him and said with some effort: "I just lived longer, but it doesn't mean that I am the smartest person in the world. Your senior brother has learned my skills and is better than
I'm too smart, so I'm afraid it's hard for me to see clearly what preparations he made, not to mention that I'm really getting blinder now."
When people grow old, they become deaf and blind, and they are easily disliked by others.
The white-browed old monk looked at him and said, "You always have a way."
The old monk smiled, but the sound was not pleasant, a little dry, like the sound of two pieces of dead wood rubbing together, "Although I still have some ability, I will not know until I meet him, but I don't hold it in mind."
What hope, because I know very well that even if I see him, if your senior brother really has arrangements, then I can't see clearly."
"That senior brother of yours is really my best disciple."
So countless years have passed, and many monks from Luming Temple have come to this small temple, but few can actually open the old monk's eyes and talk to him, and even fewer can teach him something. But
There is no doubt that the monks he taught him became great beings.
But the disciple he liked the most was the national master.
"What about you? What do you want to do in this life?"
The old monk's cloudy eyes fell on the white-browed old monk's face.
The old monk looked very sad at the moment.
…
…
Walking through the jungle, where will you come?
Chen Chao didn't know, but he was about to find out.
Because there are fewer and fewer trees in the forest ahead, this means that the Chen Dynasty is coming to an end.
The end of the small river is a cliff, and the end of this jungle is a lake.
At this moment, the moonlight is shining on the lake, and the waves are sparkling, which is very beautiful.
It's just that Chen Chao couldn't see the white flower because he was not the first person to come here.
He just saw the young Taoist priest standing by the lake.
The young Taoist priest also turned his head and looked at Chen Chao.
The two looked at each other, and Yun Jianyue took the initiative and said, "I didn't expect to see you here."
Chen Chao nodded and said, "I didn't expect it either."
