The morning sun is far from being dazzling, but rather like a brilliant agate disk, red, with the surrounding clouds rolling lightly, and the rays of rays of light leaving no trace behind.
Looking at the rays of light through the half-open window, Liu Shuzhu couldn't help but sigh: "No matter how things change in the world, no matter how many times the years change, the sun will always rise the next day as usual. Sage Bodhisattva
No matter whether you are an emperor or an arhat, they will never be able to withstand the eternity of the sun and the moon."
The most beautiful scenery in a day is the rising sun and sunset.
The little monk Ruzhen sat on another wooden bed across from him and followed his gaze. He did not appreciate it at all. Instead, he scratched the back of his head and asked him doubtfully: "According to what you said, when you were a child, you
He can go into the mountains and subdue ferocious beasts, and even tame a ruthless black tiger as his mount. Why do I keep hearing more and more unreliable stories about him?"
Liu Shuzhu glared angrily: "When I was five years old, my gangster reputation spread far and wide, which was enough to scare Xiaoxiao from thousands of miles away. Naturally, every word I said is true, and nothing is unreliable!"
"I was still bedwetting when I was five years old. How can you, a little bandit, be so powerful?" The little monk said with contempt on his face.
The two of them stayed up all night. Throughout the night, Liu Shuzhu was bragging to the young monk about his "great achievements" in the Yongliang Mountains, and almost said that he was invincible.
He weaves stories eloquently, just like telling stories and singing operas, which makes people feel fascinated.
Of course, little monk Ruzhen is not a fool. He always suspects that there are a lot of lies in his story. Unfortunately, he still doesn’t understand Liu Shuzhu very well. He should suspect that among the lies, how many are true?
right!
"Haha." Liu Shuzhu stood up and stretched, "We will talk about 'Master Liu's marriage' soon. If we can survive this disaster, I will let you know how a real man marries a wife.
!”
Liu Shuzhu had a daughter-in-law who was separated in the desert. According to him, the two fell in love at first sight. The young monk had heard about this for a long time. On the way to Jucheng, he often saw him holding a
He sniffed the broken handkerchief. It was the token of love obtained from Luo Yanyu.
Hu Chuihai chatted all night, and the purpose was not for entertainment. The most outstanding effect it had was to ease the young monk's nervousness.
Liu Shuzhu had already seen that the young monk's fear of 'Yichen' was deeply rooted in his bones. Every time he mentioned it, his eyelids would jump twice involuntarily.
Being discouraged without fighting is not a good thing for the fierce battle that we are about to face. Even if it is a battle between innate warriors, as long as the difference in strength is not too great, the state of mind when facing the enemy is also a key factor in determining victory or defeat!
If the young monk's brute force magic fist did not have the momentum to move forward, its power would be halved immediately.
"It's dawn, and you can't escape what you have to face. Are you ready to die?"
The little monk giggled twice and answered the question: "I know there is a restaurant in the city that has the best roast beef. I haven't eaten it since I left Jucheng last time. I just happened to stop by today to have a good meal.
I will make it up to you!"
"good!"
Before leaving the temple, Liu Shuzhu did not forget to bow far away in the direction of the stupa and said: "If the divine infant from Bodhi Temple takes action against the two of us, please help the monk Kongzang." Only one word came from the stupa.
: "Yeah." I agreed.
After all, the Bodhi Temple is the territory of the "Baby Monk". If during a life-and-death struggle, the Baby Monk secretly causes trouble, the two of them will definitely die, and they can only count on the Kongzang Divine Monk to save them. The three Divine Monks all have boundless magical power, and the distance between the two temples is
The distance is as close as a stone's throw to them, so they don't have to worry about not being able to save him.
Liu Shuzhu was thoughtful, and having this assurance made him feel at ease.
When leaving the temple, the old monks paid no attention to them one by one, as if they were not aware of it. The young monks watched the two people leaving the temple from a distance, and no one came forward to speak. The morning bell rang behind them.
As in the past.
"You monks are really weird creatures."
…
The huge city is prosperous and the streets are crowded with people. It is worthy of the title of "the first city in the desert".
Liu Shuzhu was dressed in purple clothes, carrying the tattered long knife casually, and walked side by side with the young monk. This was the first time he walked on the streets of the giant city since entering the city.
The two of them looked well behaved and walked out from the direction of Damingwang Temple, which inevitably attracted people's attention along the way.
Most of the shops in the city are opened by some outstanding warrior forces and belong to large city forces or medium-sized cities in nearby areas.
The products displayed in the wine shop and trading house are also luxurious items that are rare in the world. Fine wines, delicacies, spiritual weapons and treasures are only sold to powerful innate warriors.
"Oh, isn't that the little ancestor of Damingwang Temple?"
Many of the merchants are descendants of noble families or martial arts families, and as young monks, this is the hometown of monks, so they can be recognized at a glance!
More than half a month ago, the news that the descendant of the Daming King Temple and the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva returned to the city together made many people feel uneasy, especially for those forces that were neither above nor below and opened ports in the giant city, it was simply like bad news!
"Isn't this little ancestor banned from Mingwang Temple? How come he was released today!?"
"Hurry, close the door quickly, or he will let him eat for free again!"
Wherever he went, the shops on both sides of the road were closed one after another as if they were avoiding the plague.
Liu Shuzhu looked at the young monk calmly. The latter scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "You can't just take everything at face value. In fact, my character is not as bad as you think."
It would be strange to believe you!
As soon as he finished speaking, the young monk let out an exclamation and rushed towards a luxuriously decorated restaurant.
The restaurant is dignified and elegant, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous. You can tell at a glance that the standard is very high. The four words "Lingnan Winery" are written on the plaque. Before approaching, a strong aroma of meat and wine wafted up.
.
Several waiters were busy closing the door there, but they were rudely blocked by the young monk!
He said angrily: "It's only morning, why is it closed!"
A young waiter accompanied the smiling face and said cautiously: "Master, this is the shopkeeper's order. There are some special reasons today. The shop is closed to thank customers. You'd better go elsewhere to have a look."
However, the young monk acted like a rogue and shouted into the urn inside: "Is there any special reason why I closed the door as soon as I came? Do you, Lingnan City, look down on our Damingwang Temple?"
Lingnan City is a medium-sized city in the south of the giant city. It is rich in takin beasts and is good at brewing fine wine. It is a gourmet city in the Western Desert.
As soon as he shouted like this, a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper immediately walked out of the hall. He was actually an innate warrior with excellent cultivation, who was at least as high as the seventh heaven. The man had a false smile on his face and apologized to the young monk repeatedly.
"Master Ruzhen, what are you talking about? Buddhism is the mainstay of the Western Desert. We, the people of small towns, are blessed by Buddhism and it's too late to make offerings. How dare you look down on it!"
Do you look down on Myoji Temple?
This hat is so big!
"Master, aren't you traveling abroad? When you return to the city, you don't want to let anyone know. I would like to host a banquet for you." This sentence is purely pretending to be confused.
The little monk was honest and honest, and he didn't take any lies at all. He listened to all the lies as the truth: "Really?"
"Of course!"
"Shopkeeper Wang, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The person I want to see the most after returning to the city is you, so I came here to say hello today." Then he changed the topic and said, "It's good for you, you have given me a complete visit.
It’s really hurtful to be rejected, and you have the nerve to offer hospitality. Let me tell you the truth, this time I came here on the orders of my master..."
Following the teacher’s orders?
What are you doing here? You're here to drink and eat meat and you won't pay for it, right?
There are many monks in the three major temples and there are many rules. Which clear rules and precepts stipulate that monks can drink alcohol and eat meat!?
"Besides...when did I eat your food for nothing?" The young monk ignored his excuses and stopped him, and called Liu Shuzhu and rushed in.
Shopkeeper Wang couldn't laugh or cry, and thought to himself: Wasn't it you who ate here for half a year last year? And the year before last, you stayed here eating for more than a month and never left the store!
But he really couldn't afford to offend the young monk, so he had to welcome the two of them in with a wry smile.
Liu Shuzhu stood not far away, lowering the price with the little monk. In the style of a little gangster, the King's meal must be high-end and upscale. How can there be a beggar like you? How decent is it?
Why face the strange looks from passers-by?
The young monk turned his head and said to him shamelessly: "Did you see that after arriving in the giant city, people still have to give me some face? The takin here are all fine breeds, and they have been carefully fed with spiritual essence since they were young. I guarantee that you have not eaten them.
Pass!"
Liu Shuzhu:......
When the whole roasted takin was put on the table, it was just as the little monk said. It tasted great, and the wine was mellow and the meat was even more fragrant. The two of them had a great time. The little monk even couldn't bear to part with it after eating more than a dozen of them.
leave.
After entering the door, shopkeeper Wang told the waiter with a grimace: "Give me what you want." Then he hid out of sight.
A new waiter didn't know what he was doing. He took the account book and calculated how many crystal coins this meal would cost. Before he could say anything, the young monk glared again: "I am a monk, you still want to care about me asking for money?"
land?"
Liu Shuzhu took the silk and satin handed over by the boy, wiped the grease on his hands, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, bursting into laughter.
"You are really nothing!"
It really pleases him that people can be so shameless.
Then, he took out a rough crystal mother stone from the storage bag, placed it gently on the table, and said to the clerk: "Are these crystal stones enough?"
When the clerk saw it, it turned out to be a crystal mother, and he hurriedly said: "This man... just deliver the top quality crystal. The crystal mother is too precious, and the store dare not accept it, and there are too many of them!"
The Mother Crystal is naturally very precious. It has always been used by the disciples of powerful forces for cultivation and spending money lavishly. I have never seen anyone use the mother crystal stone to eat.
Liu Shuzhu also carried more than ten kilograms of rough crystal mother stones of good quality, all of which were specially selected from the pile of treasures in advance. These mother crystals may seem numerous at first glance, but compared to the pile of treasures, they can
The effect is negligible, so rather than refining them all, it is better to keep them with you for emergencies.
Although money is an external possession, it is not completely useless.
In fact, many clues can be seen from the attitude of young monk Ruzhen towards Liu Shuzhu. Thinking of the recent rumors, Liu Shuzhu's identity is obvious - except for the reincarnation of the famous Bodhisattva in the desert,
Who else could it be?
But no one dared to ask.
As a result, the shopkeeper Wang hurriedly ran over from the back hall and bowed to Liu Shuzhu, but he didn't dare to ask for it!
The relationship between Lingnan City and Buddhism has always been good. It is precisely because of the existence of the three major temples that the surrounding forces are wary and dare not annex them easily.
The reason why the young monk is not welcome seems to be because he always eats and drinks for free, but in fact there is another hidden reason.
After all, the young monk is a member of the Buddhist sect and is bound by precepts and dogmas. If Lingnan Cheng indulges him in eating and drinking and breaking the monk's rules, he is actually afraid that the sacred monks in the temple will not like him. After discarding this point, the young monk asks
Although it is true that people hate you, it does not mean that you will be hated!
Moreover, he has never relied on the power of Buddhism to bully the weak. At most, he only used a few words to scare people.
Liu Shuzhu said calmly: "Take it, the extra rights will be used to make up for the previous meal money."
"What are you doing? I didn't ask you for it!" The young monk was unhappy and felt that he had lost face. This meal was supposed to be his 'treat'.
"I went out to eat. This is called alms. It can also be regarded as a kind of fate. There is no reason to give money. Put it away quickly. You are looking down on our Damingwang Temple!"
"Do you really dare to say that a dozen roasted whole cows can be saved in one go?" Immediately, Liu Shuzhu explained to him with a smile, "Today is different, you and I have a life and death battle. If it really is
Our last meal, I don’t want to owe anyone else. Anyway, the wool comes from the sheep, and these mother crystals are the treasures of Damingwang Temple. It is only natural that I can pay some old debts for you, and the temple owes you."
After saying that, he walked out the door and walked along the street in the direction of Bodhi Temple.
The little monk thought the same thing. Liu Shuzhu was usually a tough guy, so asking him to get the treasure would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.
"Let's go to the next restaurant. You don't have to think about anything, just open your mouth and eat!"
The three major temples are located in the same city, but they are no less than a hundred miles apart from each other, forming horns with each other.
Bodhi Temple is located in a winding flying ridge. The ridge lies on its side and the trend is extremely clear. It is more than dozens of miles in length and breadth. From a distance, the entire flying ridge looks like a huge sleeping Buddha!
In the higher airspace, the transformed towering tree shadow is constantly twisting and gathering, rising from the head of the sleeping Buddha.
Around the giant city, you can also see several specially built squares, which are very grand in scale. In the center stands the stone statue of Sumeru Bodhi Buddha for mortals to worship.
The two of them walked and walked, and more and more people recognized their identities, and the crowds of people spontaneously retreated to both sides. The two of them turned a blind eye. Every time they passed a restaurant, the young monk would go in and have a big meal. Liu Shuzhu followed
After paying the bill and paying money at the back, by the time we approached the gate of Bodhi Temple, it had already taken more than two hours, and it was almost noon.
Behind them, a large group of idle people followed, pointing and talking in low voices.
"Did you see that his appearance and age are very similar to those described in the rumors? That person is probably the reincarnation of the Bodhisattva!"
"They are going to Bodhi Temple. Are they really going to start a fight?"
"Look at the young monks of Damingwang Temple. They have eaten more than 20 kinds of food along the way, and they don't even eat rice like this!"
