Chapter 1137 Unknown Old Monk

……

It's been a long time, but it seems like another moment, and time has lost its effect in this moment. It wasn't until Liu Dong woke up from this kind of 'epiphany' that he could only understand, that a faint joy swelled in his heart, "I didn't expect that this trip to Jiming Temple unexpectedly made me make another breakthrough in my state of mind." In this way, my calligraphy, painting and carving skills should improve again!"

After advancing to the master realm in calligraphy, painting and carving, the effect of hard work alone day and night has been minimal. Only the sublimation of perception and mood is a good way to improve one's skills.

After calming down his joyful mood, Liu Dong remembered that Pan Yun was still by his side! Hurriedly turned his head, never thinking that he happened to meet Pan Yunshuo's but full of brilliant eyes.

After the two looked at each other, Pan Yun's face showed an obvious dodge color, and after his pretty face turned red, he said in a slightly panicked tone: "Mr. Liu, I didn't expect your realm to be so profound, it's really admirable!"

"Miss Pan has won the award, and I just feel it!"

"Mr. Liu, you are friends of Chen Mo and Liang Sicheng, and they are also my friends, so if you count it in this way, the two of us can be regarded as friends! If you don't dislike it, just call me by my name?" his face was red, but his eyes looked at Liu Dongdao firmly.

"Bitter!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong said secretly in his heart.

From Pan Yun's words just now, he obviously sensed the other party's good impression of him. And good feelings are the beginning of a relationship.

In addition, perhaps to leave a space for him and Pan Yun to be alone, Chen Mo and Liang Sicheng at this moment. And their girlfriends are not here. Liu Dong couldn't find a few excuses to change the topic.

looked at the girl's eyes for a moment. Liu Dong couldn't refuse directly.

"Quan and promise him, anyway, I won't stay in Jinling for long! This hazy good feeling, let time dilute it!" Thinking of this, Liu Dong nodded and said, "Pan Yun, then I might as well be respectful!"

"Okay, then I'll call you Liu Dong too?"

"Hmm!"

When Liu Dong nodded and Pan Yun jumped excitedly. A middle-aged monk in a yellow monk's robe came to the two of them. More precisely, he came to Liu Dong's side.

"Donor?"

"Did the master call me?" Looking at the middle-aged monk with a solemn expression in front of him, Liu Dong said in surprise.

"That's right!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong's face showed a look of confusion, he didn't have any friends in the Buddhist world in this Jinling Jiming Temple, or even in the entire Soviet Province!

Perhaps seeing the confusion on Liu Dong's face, the middle-aged monk clasped his palms together and said: "Don't misunderstand, I don't have any malicious intentions!" It's just that the elders in the temple want to see the donor, and they also hope that the donor can come without hesitation!"

"What? The elders of your temple want to see me?" Liu Dong said in surprise, pointing to his nose.

"Not bad!"

"But, I don't remember knowing anyone from your Jiming Temple?" Liu Dong said.

But. It's not just that he wonders. At this moment, the monk who was sent over was also puzzled. You must know that the elder who summoned Liu Dong in Jiming Temple is not an ordinary person. It is two generations higher than the famous Master Zongcheng, and the only remaining monk in the temple who is almost legendary in the Jingzi generation.

He has been in the temple for more than 30 years. If it weren't for the fact that he was suddenly ordered by the master to summon Liu Dong this time, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a legendary monk in this Jiming Temple.

"Donor, please rest assured, my Jiming Temple is the first temple in Jinling, and I will definitely not do anything illegal. Moreover, Buddhism emphasizes the word 'fate', perhaps because the donor's fate has arrived!"

"I don't want to become a monk!" Although he thought so, Liu Dong was really a little curious.

Obviously, he has no acquaintances in this Jiming Temple, but someone came to the door, and from the mouth of this monk, he can vaguely guess that the other party seems to be some great person.

Otherwise, the other party would not have shown such a strong look of respect on his face when he mentioned that elder just now.

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

After a little hesitation, Liu Dong, who was curious, agreed.

"Donor, please!" the monk looked overjoyed, and hurriedly half-turned around and said.

"The master is gracious!"

As soon as Liu Dong left, Pan Yun, who was with him next to him, naturally followed.

A group of three people descended from the Medicine Pagoda and then walked back along the quaint bluestone path in the temple. After walking for a while, Liu Dong found that the further he went, the fewer tourists watched in the temple, and the more quaint and quiet the surrounding environment became. Even in the end, except for a few monks passing by who would look at the two of them curiously, there was not a single tourist around.

"Female donor, please stay! Further on, there is the backyard, which is the place where many monks cultivate, and it is really inconvenient for the female guests to disturb!" When he walked to the gate of a courtyard that looked like a hanging flower door in the courtyard, the middle-aged monk stopped Pan Yun, who was about to continue walking.

"Master, this is my friend, can't he enter too?"

"The donor doesn't know, if it's not a summons inside, let alone a donor, even an old monk, I can't go in casually. The monk shook his head.

Looking at the look on the monk's face that he didn't intend to compromise, Pan Yun hesitated for a while and said, "Liu Dong, you go in first, I'll wait for you here!"

"Okay...... By the way, why don't you go to Chen Mo and the others first? I'll look for you when I come out. "When he was at the Shwedagon Pagoda in Myanmar two years ago, Liu Dong was so impressed that he was afraid that something similar would happen in this Jiming Temple. If that's the case, then Pan Yun really has to wait!

"No, I'll just wait for you here. If I'm tired, I'll go sit on the stone bench over there!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong didn't have much to say!

"Alright then, I'll come out as soon as possible!"

After nodding to Pan Yun, Liu Dong turned around and continued to walk forward a few steps, and after stepping up the three layers of bluestone steps, he walked into the heavy temple door opened by the middle-aged monk.

After entering the door, what appeared in front of me was a courtyard of about 200 square meters. The courtyard is full of red and willow green, with ancient trees planted in the corners of the walls, and two 120-centimeter-wide bluestone paths stretch from both sides, bypassing the garden in the center of the courtyard and heading into the courtyard.

"Master, this stone carving is good, it has the majestic momentum of the northern school, and there is no lack of delicacy in the southern stone carving, and the knife technique is smooth, the copywriting is round, it is really a master's work!"

Liu Dong pointed to the center of the courtyard, which was about three meters high and two meters wide and two meters wide.

"The donor really has good eyesight, this stone carving of Lushan Waterfall is the third time when the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Zen master of the Jiming Temple at that time talked about the scriptures, the Zen master Buddhism is profound, with a "Amitabha Sutra", a "Diamond Sutra", a "Great Ahama Sutra" of the scriptures explained, in exchange for the Qianlong Emperor's dragon heart joy. Ordered the construction office to carve this 'Lushan Waterfall' stone carving to reward Bi Temple, and now it has been 237 years!"

Looking at the pride on the face of the middle-aged monk, Liu Dong nodded, "It turned out to be the handiwork of the Qing Dynasty Royal Manufacturing Office, no wonder the skills are so exquisite!"

"The donor has won the prize, please inside!"

"Hmm!"

Following the bluestone pavement, Liu Dong bypassed the central garden and came to the attic at the back.

The attic is a very ordinary blue brick beam and wood structure, probably because the construction time has not been short, in the gap between the bricks and tiles, it can be clearly seen that the green grass is waving in the wind.

However, although the attic looks old, it is extremely clean. There is not the slightest dead leaf on the small bluestone patio in front of the attic!

"Fa Jie, you are waiting outside the hall!"

Just when Liu Dong looked at the attic and patio in front of him. Suddenly, an old but clear, dusty voice came from the attic.

"Yes, Uncle Shi!" the middle-aged monk folded his palms together and said respectfully towards the attic.

"Squeak!"

With a hoarse grinding sound, the originally closed door slowly opened inside.

At the same time, as the portal blocking his vision disappeared, Liu Dong also saw the situation in the attic clearly.

I saw that in front of a statue of Shakyamuni Buddha whose golden body had been somewhat peeled, an old monk with white eyebrows hanging down to his cheeks was scabbed and sat with his eyes closed.

However, because it was from the side, Liu Dong did not see the appearance of the old monk clearly.

"Donor, please come in!"

Hearing this, Liu Dong hesitated for a moment and then strode over.

Although it can be seen from the situation of opening the door just now, this old monk who doesn't know how long he has lived must also be a person with profound internal strength, and has even broken through the realm of holding Dan. But now Liu Dong's internal cultivation is also a half-step hug Dan, and he doesn't dare to say whether he can beat this old monk, but if he wants to escape, he is also confident that the other party can't stop him.

After Liu Dong walked into this meditation hall, he suddenly saw the old monk wave his robe sleeves, and Liu Dong clearly felt a strong force pouring out of the other party's hand, and the originally open door was slammed shut!

Seeing this, Liu Dong, who was shocked in his heart, was secretly vigilant.

"Don't worry about it, the old man has no malicious intentions!

"Thank you, Master!"

After a polite word, Liu Dong walked to the green cloth futon in front of the old monk and sat down cross-legged.

At this time, Liu Dong also saw the whole picture of the old monk clearly. In terms of appearance, this old monk is completely no different from an ordinary sixty or seventy-year-old man, but only a scar from the corner of his left eye to his jaw adds a bit of hideousness to this old monk's face!

Perhaps sensing Liu Dong's scrutinizing gaze, the old monk who had been closing his eyes slowly opened his eyes.

"Huh?"

Liu Dong was shocked!

The old monk's black and white eyes did not show the slightest emotion. It's like a baby who is no more than half a year old!
