Chapter Eighty-Seven: Huineng Monk and Abbot
Zhang Tianlin habitually touched his pocket, wanting to find a cigarette, but unfortunately the pocket was empty, Zhang Tianlin frowned, the reason for the frown was not because the cigarette in his pocket disappeared, but because he entered it as a stranger in Vice City before, and was frantically chased and killed for a period of time because of the little steamed bun, and this time he entered the Shaolin Temple is obviously different from Vice City, and he actually entered this mirror image as a monk?
Zhang Tianlin looked down at his monk's robe again, the material of the clothes was good, and he didn't know what it was, but Zhang Tianlin pulled it hard and it was not torn, so you can imagine how tough the texture of this monk's robe is.
"Uncle Shi, Uncle Shi!" a milky voice sounded, and a small novice came out of the other end of the forest, panting, still holding a roasted potato in his hand and gnawing on it.
A bunch of question marks popped up on the top of Zhang Tianlin's head, and his uncle was ???
Xiao Shami ran to Zhang Tianlin, first handed Zhang Tianlin a few mouthfuls of potatoes in his hand, stared at Zhang Tianlin with big eyes and said, "Uncle Shi, this is a freshly roasted potato, for you to eat." β
Zhang Tianlin had already determined that he was the uncle and ancestor in Xiao Shami's mouth, and he couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then looked at the potato that Xiao Shami had gnawed a few mouthfuls in his hand, and his heart was even more speechless and crazy, what is the situation?!
As soon as he entered this mirror, Zhang Tianlin had already prepared for the big war in advance, and he actually gave himself such a play.
Zhang Tianlin was stared at a little unnaturally by Xiao Shami's expectant eyes, and hurriedly replied: "I don't eat, you can eat." β
When the little novice heard this, his mouth immediately deflated, and tears began to roll in his big eyes, and he was about to cry when he saw this!
Zhang Tianlin was immediately stunned when he saw the appearance of the little novice, and hurriedly said: "Okay, good, I'll eat!"
As soon as he heard that Zhang Tianlin agreed to eat the yams, Xiao Shami burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly handed the yams in his hand to Zhang Tianlin.
Zhang Tianlin took the potato, looked at the rows of tooth marks on it, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and wanted to throw it away secretly, but when he saw Xiao Shami's eyes staring at him without half impurities, his heart couldn't help but soften, and he gnawed on the yams.
What Zhang Tianlin didn't expect was that this potato actually melted in his mouth! Then a hot torrent washed towards Zhang Tianlin's limbs, Zhang Tianlin closed his eyes and felt it for a while, he didn't expect that such an ordinary potato actually made his muscles, bones and fascia undergo some magical changes, and a little golden light appeared on the muscles, bones and fascia.
It's just that these golden points of light are extremely shallow, that is, Zhang Tianlin's current realm is very high, and his ability to grasp his own body is far beyond ordinary people to feel this subtle change, otherwise it is impossible to feel it at all, and Zhang Tianlin doesn't know what the specific role of these golden points of light is, but it's definitely not a bad thing to think about!
Zhang Tianlin, who pretended to be calm, opened his eyes, but there were turbulent waves in his heart, looked down at the potato that was almost half gnawed off by his own mouthful, and looked up at the little novice whose eyes were smiling like crescent moons.
Zhang Tianlin suppressed the shocked mood, quickly lowered his head and took another bite, the same feeling appeared again, the torrent of energy appeared into the limbs and hundreds of remains, Zhang Tianlin felt it carefully, and it seemed that there were more golden points of light in his body.
"Ding! The host enters the Empty Silence Little Monk Cause and Effect and obtains 200 Cause and Effect Points!"
A system prompt sounded in Zhang Tianlin's mind, followed by another system prompt.
"Ding! The host accidentally ingested the vajra heart taro, and rewarded the host with 200 causal points!"
Zhang Tianlin feels that today's sky seems to be different from usual, well, it is indeed different, the sky here is the mirror sky of Shaolin Temple, and the sky here seems to be pie-stricken!
"Uh, empty silence, did you come to find Uncle Shi for something? Zhang Tianlin asked.
Xiao Shami's little brows furrowed, his fleshy little hand stroked his little bald head, and then slapped his head suddenly, looked at Zhang Tianlin and said, "I forgot what I came for." β
Zhang Tianlin, who was looking forward to it, almost didn't come up in one breath when he heard Xiao Shami's words, and turned his back on it.
"That's right! I remembered, it was Master Uncle Yuan who asked me to call Uncle Master back!" Xiao Shami finally remembered the purpose of his coming here, and Zhang Tianlin couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Then let's go. Zhang Tianlin picked up the dry firewood on the ground and carried it on his body, I don't know why, Zhang Tianlin has never carried firewood, but now he does it as if he has done it thousands of times.
"Hmm!" Xiao Shami nodded vigorously and followed closely behind Zhang Tianlin.
But how did Zhang Tianlin know the way?! Along the way, he deliberately made clichΓ©s and slowed down his pace before he could return to the mountain gate under the leadership of Xiao Shami.
This is a solemn ancient temple, because Zhang Tianlin and Xiao Shami walked through the small gate of the back mountain, so Zhang Tianlin did not have the opportunity to carefully experience the style of the main gate of the thousand-year-old temple.
After a while, Zhang Tianlin put the firewood in the room under the leadership of Xiao Shami, and then came to an apse, where an old monk about forty or fifty years old sat cross-legged, holding a string of prayer beads in his hand, and chanting words in his mouth, obviously chanting.
Although Zhang Tianlin has never been a monk or been to the Shaolin Temple in the real world, he also knows that it is best not to disturb the monk when he is chanting.
Sure enough, Zhang Tianlin didn't believe the arrival of him and Xiao Shami, the old monk couldn't feel it, but the old monk just didn't stop chanting.
After about a stick of incense, the old monk stopped chanting in his mouth, put away the rosary in his hand, and then opened his eyes.
"Yuan Wu, you're here. The old monk spoke, his voice extremely warm.
Zhang Tianlin stubbornly said: "I've seen Senior Brother Yuanzhen." Then Zhang Tianlin quietly looked at the old monk's expression, and saw that the old monk's expression had not changed significantly, Zhang Tianlin quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that he had not recognized the wrong person.
No, the old monk said indifferently at this time: "You are not Yuan Wushi's nephew, who are you?"
Zhang Tianlin almost bit his tongue when he heard this, and he was going to goof?
A picture immediately appeared in Zhang Tianlin's heart, countless bald heads chasing him with machetes in the back, and he had to dismantle himself!
However, at this time, you must not have stage fright, maybe the other party is testing yourself, so Zhang Tianlin is neither humble nor arrogant and replied: "I don't know what Senior Brother Yuanzhen means?"
The old monk glanced at Zhang Tianlin, slowly stood up, wiped the incense table, and put on a few bunches of incense before looking at Zhang Tianlin and said, "Because I am your master Huineng." β
Zhang Tianlin swallowed his saliva, because he felt that he seemed to have a dry mouth now, and said that Senior Brother Yuanzhen was looking for me, how could he become Hui Neng? Why didn't the empty little monk tell me in advance! Zhang Tianlin strangled the empty little monk's heart!
But to be honest, Zhang Tianlin racked his brains, and he really couldn't think of a reason to be accepted by a slightly normal person, not to mention that this old monk Huineng didn't seem to be just an ordinary monk with a normal mind, but a wise and enlightened monk.
But just when Zhang Tianlin froze and thought that his identity must have been exposed, Monk Huineng sighed, "Hey, Yuan Wu, you are too obsessed with the death of your master Hui Nan, and Hui Nan's death is just that he was one step ahead of our senior brother and went to the Buddha's side, why do you care about these skins?"
Zhang Tianlin didn't dare to answer anymore, fortunately, the words of the monk Huineng did not stop, "Your inner demons are becoming more and more active, and now it has reached the point where it can disturb the mind, and even the master doesn't know it, if you continue like this, you will fall into the devil's path sooner or later, the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Array has been set up in the front mountain, you go and break through, if the formation is successful, the master will ask the abbot to give you a rare copy of the Diamond Sutra to help you overcome the demons." β
As soon as Monk Huineng's words fell, as if they had been discussed, the empty little novice ran over from a distance and took Zhang Tianlin to the front mountain to break into the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Formation.
Monk Huineng saw Zhang Tianlin's figure disappear into the corridor, and let out a long sigh again.
"Huineng, is it worth it for you to walk outside the mountain for ten years in exchange for this opportunity for Yuan Wuchuang Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Formation?"
When Monk Huineng heard this, he hurriedly folded his hands and walked towards a plainly dressed white-eyed monk who walked in, "Disciple Huineng, I have seen the abbot." β
"Hui Neng really can't bear the increasing depression of Yuan Wushi's nephew, and seeing that he has fallen into the devil's path, it is better for Huineng to go down the mountain to cross the demon and help Yuan's masterless nephew get through this demonic tribulation. β
"Then have you ever thought that if Yuan Wu can't break through the Eighteen Bronze Man Formation, then I won't give Yuan Wu a rare copy of the Diamond Sutra, and you still have to walk down the mountain for ten years?" the abbot asked.
"Origin and extinction, it depends on Yuan Wuwu. Huineng folded his hands again.
The abbot shook his head, walked out again with his back bent, his figure gradually drifted away, and an ethereal voice came into Huineng's ears, "Why aren't you an idiot? β
Hui Neng did not speak again, but folded his hands in the direction of the abbot again.
Then I saw that the monk Huineng waved his sleeves, and the whole person was in the void and resisted the wind, as if he had become a Buddha and an ancestor, and drifted away.
