Chapter 605: The Old Monk of the Broken Temple
With Nanfeng's state of mind and insight at this time, there are few things that can surprise him and doubt, but the old monk's words surprised him very much, this old monk's face is very raw, he is sure that he has never seen it before, and besides, this person has been trapped here for at least nearly a hundred years, so he should not recognize him.
When Nanfeng was puzzled, the old monk said again, 'You are finally here', and the eagerness and joy in his words were very obvious.
Nanfeng still didn't answer, but threw the same look at Yuan Anning, who cast a puzzled look, he really didn't know this old monk, to be exact, it was a ghost that the old monk turned into after his death.
"Master, do you recognize me?" Nanfeng tilted his head to look at the old monk in the door
The old monk shook his head, "The old man and the donor have never known each other, but they were instructed by others and knew that the donor would come today." ”
"Who are you instructed by?" Nanfeng became more and more puzzled, "that man knows me?"
The old monk shook his head again, "I don't know that person, and that person doesn't know the donor." ”
Nanfeng just frowned and didn't ask, because the old monk's words were obviously contradictory, and the puzzled look on his face was also very obvious, and the old monk would definitely explain this later.
Sure enough, seeing Nanfeng frowning, the old monk took the initiative to explain, "The old man's name is Baozheng, he passed away a hundred years ago, and when he was dying, he heard the teachings of the invisible mantra, and the voice only said that a young couple would come at a certain time in a certain year, month, and day, and the time, and the year, month and hour that the person who said the voice was at this moment. ”
"Who is the person who sent the voice to you?" Nanfeng asked, it is not difficult to transmit the sound for thousands of miles, as long as the cultivation is enough, you can do it, and it cannot be asserted that the person who passed the message to Monk Baozheng back then was the old monk who transmitted the sound to him from outside the Foguang Temple many years ago.
The old monk didn't answer immediately, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "That person didn't report his name, but judging from his tone of voice, he should be a member of the Daomen." ”
"How old?" asked Nanfeng.
"When it's a main road, it's hard to distinguish between young and old. The old monk said.
Nanfeng nodded, if this old monk didn't lie, there was only one possibility for this matter, that is, this old monk was personally imprisoned by the Shangqing Patriarch, because only the Mixed Yuan Daluo Jin Immortal could accurately predict the future, and even be able to assert the specific time, and the immortals of other grades did not have such mysterious magical powers.
"Is the donor a member of the Daomen?" the old monk asked.
"The Taoist is true, but the Taoist is no longer the same. Nanfeng said.
The old monk was stunned when he heard this.
"Why, did the messenger say that I was a Taoist?" asked Nanfeng.
The old monk shook his head, "No, what the old man asked, just because he was outside the opposite door, it was very rude." ”
"The avenue is invisible, where are there so many rules," Nanfeng said while stepping into the door, according to the rules of the sect, Taoists do not enter the temple, and monks do not enter the Taoist temple, the old monk asked him if he was a Taoist, just to make sure that it was appropriate to invite him in to speak.
The south wind entered, Yuan Anning also followed, and the old monk stood sideways, waiting for the two to enter the door, walking a few steps quickly, and leading the way from the front.
It has been abandoned for many years, and the houses have long since collapsed and dilapidated, but although this old monk is a ghost, he has a way to change the appearance of the temple as he walks, so that he can restore his early years.
The old monk did not lead the two to the main hall, but led them to the east chamber monk's house, which was simply furnished, only a sitting place, and the old monk did not give tea after the two sat down, because even if it was presented, it was also a condensation of yin qi, and the two would not drink it.
After the guest and host sat down, the old monk looked at Nanfeng, as if waiting for him to speak.
"Don't you have anything to tell me?" asked Nanfeng.
The old monk stopped talking, and finally shook his head.
Seeing the old monk like this, Nanfeng suddenly had the feeling that the tiger was eating the sky and had nowhere to eat, and after thinking about it, he asked, "You said before, you have been waiting for me here all these years, what are you waiting for me to do?"
I didn't think that the old monk shook his head again, "The old man only knows that the donor is the fate, and what the old man is waiting for is also the fate." ”
"Can you make it clear?" Nanfeng shook his head helplessly, with his knowledge and wisdom at this time, he was afraid that there was nothing he couldn't understand, and there was nothing he didn't understand, but he still couldn't understand what the Buddhist monks said, and he even suspected that this group of people was deliberately not good at talking.
"The messenger only told me to wait here for the benefactor, but did not say the cause and effect. The old monk said.
Nanfeng waved his hand impatiently when he heard this, "Don't go around in circles with me, you don't know what you're waiting for?
Seeing that the south wind was displeased, the old monk was a little apprehensive, first sang the Buddha together, and then said, "The old man has nothing to ask for." ”
"You don't want to leave here?" asked Nanfeng.
The old monk shook his head slowly, "It's okay to stay here, it's okay to go out, it's okay to be reincarnated, all the laws are fateful, and the old man won't force it." ”
Nanfeng originally thought that this old monk was imprisoned here by the Shangqing Patriarch in case he needed it, but listening to the tone of this old monk, he didn't seem to be eager to leave here, what was going on?
While Nanfeng was thinking, Yuan Anning spoke beside him, "Master, did you have any dealings with the Shangqing Sect during your lifetime?"
"Lao Qu has rarely traveled in his life...... the old monk shook his head slowly, as if he suddenly remembered something, and changed his words, "Lao Qu once rescued two young Shangqing Daoists in his later years. ”
"How old were those two at the time, and what were their road numbers?" asked Nanfeng.
The old monk tried to recall, "Both of them are weak crown years, the older one seems to be called Xingshuang, and the younger one should be called Jianshuang." ”
The old monk said, Nanfeng knew in his heart that the real person of Sword Frost was the master of Liluoxue and Yan Feixue, that is, the former head of the Shangqing Sect.
According to what the old monk said, he only saved the Sword Frost Zhenren in his old age, and when he was about to pass away, the Sword Frost Zhenren was not very old, and he may not have taken over the Shangqing Sect, so it can be seen that this imprisonment has nothing to do with the Sword Frost Zhenren, and the biggest possibility is that the Shangqing Patriarch himself did it.
If what the old monk said is true, then the matter is slightly different from what he expected before, this old monk was not imprisoned by the Shangqing Sect, the Shangqing patriarch set up this imprisonment to protect him, and the reason why he protected him was to repay him for helping the Shangqing Sect in the future.
While the south wind was groaning, Yuan Anning asked again, "Master, take the liberty of asking, do you have any stunts?"
Nanfeng knew why Yuan Anning asked this, but the old monk didn't know why, but after hesitating, he still said, "There is always some self-defense skills, and I also have a little experience." ”
Yuan Anning turned his head to look at Nanfeng when he heard this, Nanfeng nodded at him, the reason why Yuan Anning asked this is to determine whether this old monk is the help left to him by the ancestor of Shangqing, if you want to participate in the fighting at the beginning of the year, it is impossible to do without magic powers, and now the old monk's answer confirmed the guesses of the two, this person is old and steady, does not speak falsely, and has a little experience is just his humble words, in fact, this person's magic power should be very powerful.
The general context has been revealed, but there is still something unclear, that is, Da Luo Jin Immortal is not as usual, that is second only to the existence of the Mixed Yuan Da Luo Jin Immortal, and he is the master of the Three Realms, just because Monk Baozheng saved the Sword Frost real person back then, the Shangqing Patriarch gave him such a high reward, which seems a little unreasonable.
In addition, according to the atmosphere of a sect, it can be inferred that the general temperament of the patriarch of this sect, the Shangqing Sect has clear grievances and grievances, and the killing is decisive, whether it is a favor or a grudge, the performance is more obvious, although the attitude of the Shangqing Sect towards Buddhism is not very hateful, nor is it very friendly, the Shangqing Patriarch should not make such a decision based on this matter alone, there must be other reasons for this.
The intention of the Shangqing Patriarch is already very obvious, but whether to follow the arrangement of the Shangqing Patriarch still needs to be carefully speculated, and the top priority is to determine the situation of the old monk himself and find out the real reason why the Shangqing Patriarch is optimistic about him.
Thinking of this, Nanfeng asked, "Master, you proclaim all the Buddha's name, you must have survived the tribulation of the purple qi master before your death, and you have magical powers, why don't you go to many places to preside over the big temple, preach the scriptures and teach the law, but from this small temple in the mountains, you are closed and alone?"
"There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south," the old monk sang the Buddha together, and then said quietly, "This matter is a long story......
