Lin Ji forced the young monk onto the chair and sat opposite him.
"Say it." Lin Ji's face was gloomy, with a hint of threat in his tone.
The little monk stared with big eyes, showing a bit of innocence.
"Donor, what did you ask the young monk to say?"
"Why did you come to me? As soon as you became a spiritual monk, you came to have a meal with me for no reason? I don't believe it."
The little monk moved his mouth, but made no sound. He hesitated for a long time before opening his mouth again.
But before he could speak, Lin Ji said again: "You can try to prevaricate me casually. As long as you don't get discovered by me, you will be fine. But if I do, you will be rewarded."
boom!
Lin Ji punched the table, frightening the little monk.
"Say it."
The young monk lowered his head and was silent for a moment before finally speaking.
"Donor, little monk, I know how to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune."
"What's the meaning?"
"I can't tell you, little monk, but... Anyway, I have been feeling some strange things since I was a child. It's hard to describe."
The little monk thought about it, looked at Lin Ji carefully, and said slowly: "I...after I saw the donor, I felt that the donor was not a bad person, so I went to get some food."
"Speak clearly." Lin Ji frowned and urged.
The little monk spoke in a confused manner.
Seeing that Lin Ji was impatient, the young monk hurriedly said: "Isn't this the tomb of an ancient monk in Baici Mountain outside the city? The benefactor is deeply blessed, so I thought that I would gain something by following the benefactor, so I went to have a meal. If the benefactor is easy to talk to,
If I can get some food, I will find a way to follow you, the donor, into the tomb."
"Then what if it's hard for me to speak?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows.
"Then I won't follow you." The young monk pursed his lips.
Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the little bald donkey in front of him up and down for a while. He always felt that this kid was not as innocent as he looked, but he couldn't tell what was wrong for the moment.
"What do you mean by seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune?"
"I can't explain clearly, but I just find it pleasing to the donor."
"What if it doesn't suit your eyes?"
"Stay far away." Xiaoheshan smiled shyly.
At this point, Lin Ji had some understanding.
There are always some weird talents in this world, it's not surprising.
The talent of this little bald donkey sounds mysterious, but in the final analysis, it should just be a matter of good luck.
As for the saying of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.
He, Lin Ji, has deep blessings and good karma, so he is naturally a good choice.
If the young monk hadn't lied, it wouldn't be impossible for him to find me.
"What's your name?" Lin Ji asked again.
"I have forgotten my secular name. The master gave me a dharma name, Wu Nan." the young monk replied.
"It's difficult to understand? This Dharma name doesn't sound good, and its meaning isn't very good. How about understanding suffering?"
"Master said that I have never experienced setbacks. If it goes on for a long time, my heart towards Buddha will not be strong. It is too easy to achieve cultivation, which is not conducive to practice, let alone meditation." The young monk Wu Nan licked his face and said with a smile.
"Never experienced a setback? How old are you?"
"After the twelfth lunar month, you will be twenty."
"You are twenty years old and in the late third realm. Have you ever experienced any setbacks? How about your cultivation? No bottlenecks?"
"No." The smile on Wu Nan's face was a bit embarrassed, as if this matter made him very embarrassed.
Lin Ji was a little unbelievable.
"What about other things? Have you ever had any confusion while practicing Zen?"
"No, I just believe whatever the scriptures say. Why should I be confused?"
"What about the contradictions?"
"Don't worry about it." Gu
"It doesn't affect your mood?"
Wu Nan was puzzled and said: "The contradiction is his business, what does it have to do with me?"
Lin Ji was speechless.
He has also had many interactions with monks, and he also knows that Buddhist scriptures are complex and profound, and often contain contradictions.
There are countless eminent monks who, because the Buddhist teachings are different, but each has its own truth, they are stuck in the corner, and it is difficult to make any progress.
There is something similar in Taoism.
But this was the first time he heard what the young monk said.
Lin Ji was not convinced, especially when he saw Wu Nan's supposed calmness, an unknown fire burned in his heart.
"Your master always beats you, right?"
"Why did you hit me? If he asked me to practice, I would practice. If he asked me to break through, I would break through. Why would he hit me?" Wu Nan tilted his head and said, "The same goes for chanting sutras. I read the sutras and understand them, so I told the master
Just once, won’t it be enough?”
If this was chatting online in his past life, Lin Ji would have already passed a series of question marks.
Lin Ji didn't give up yet.
"What about wrestling? You always fell when you were a child, right? Did you cry in pain?"
This was already an argument. Lin Ji couldn't remember the last time he was so angry.
He didn't even know why he was angry.
"Ever since I can remember, I fell once." Wu Nan said.
"Look, isn't this a setback?"
"I was climbing a tree to pick fruits and accidentally fell down. My master caught me and said that I had wisdom, so he accepted me as his disciple."
Lin Ji took a deep breath, closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, finally suppressing the depression in his heart.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." He gritted his teeth and waved his hands, then asked, "Why are you so familiar with the people from the Taiyi sect just now?"
This is the reason why Lin Ji specially brought Wu Nan here.
"This exploration of the ancient monks' tombs is led by Taiyimen and Sansheng Cave. I want to find some benefits in it, and of course I have to find out about these." Wu Nan said calmly.
"Three Holy Cave?" Lin Ji was stunned.
Taiyi Sect is known as the leader of the Taoist sect and is famous. Of course Lin Ji has heard about it.
But he really didn't know much about other sects in Xiangzhou.
Maybe he had heard it somewhere, but he didn't really take it to heart.
"It is also a behemoth in Xiangzhou. Although it is not as good as Taiyi Sect, its strength is not much different. There is also quite a competition between Sansheng Cave and Taiyi Sect."
As soon as Lin Ji heard that he could compete with Taiyi Men, Lin Ji knew it.
Lin Ji asked again: "With these two families in Xiangzhou, what else are we going to do in this ancient monk's tomb? When the seniors of the two sects came out, didn't they just wrap them up? We can only drink some leftover soup when we go there?"
Wu Nan shook his head and explained: "Donor, seniors from various sects will not take action on such an unimportant ancient relic."
"Why?"
"In order to train the disciples, but also because it is easy for the elders to get out of control."
Having said this, Wu Nan's face clearly showed a bit of laughter.
"If you beat the younger ones, the older ones will come out; if you beat the older ones, the older ones will come out. Most of the people who can be called seniors are people who want to have a bit of face. It doesn't look good whoever wins or loses, and it's easy to create grudges."
After a pause, Wu Nan laughed in a low voice: "Whose family doesn't have a few old immortals? If the imperial court also wants to get a share of the pie and sends one or two You Tianguan, or even powerful people from the palace, it will be even worse
trouble."
"Therefore, inconspicuous ancient ruins like this are usually led by disciples."
This explanation is quite reasonable.
Lin Ji asked again: "Since everyone has arrived, why are they still gathering in the city? Didn't they say that the ruins are outside the city?"
"There is a formation outside the ruins. The sect in Xiangzhou invited experts from the Formation Dao Sect to break the formation. It will take a few days."
"When can we break the formation?"
"I don't know, little monk, I was going to wait at Bai Ci Mountain later." Wu Nan shook his head and said.
Upon hearing this, Lin Ji couldn't sit still.
"Let's go, I'll go with you."
Since this little monk is so lucky, it wouldn't be a bad thing to catch him and act together.
