Shen Man deliberately pretended to be weak, his lips were blue and trembling, and he said, "Lime, you can see clearly, what can you do?" As he spoke, he took small steps towards her. Then he stumbled, and threw himself into the arms of the man in front of him.
But she didn't expect the person behind to reach out and grab her, Wu Niannian stared at the lime and said, "Don't be afraid, he is the one I brought you to meet." The gatekeeper of Kongtong Temple - Master Jingjing. ”
Shen Man turned his head and blinked blankly.
Lime blinked.
The two of them couldn't hold back their faces and laughed all at once.
From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a monk having such a lovely Dharma name, don't say that Buddhism is not very popular now, even if it is popular, then if this monk wants to be famous, he must change his title, otherwise how can this believer be strict?
Master Jingjing is really a Buddhist monk, as if he is used to being ridiculed, he bowed down with his hands folded in front of Shen Man and others, and said "Amitabha Buddha" in his mouth.
He walked out of the shadows, so that Shen Man could take a closer look at his appearance. This monk is not as old as he imagined, about forty years old. His face was white, and there were only six ring scars on his head. The robe was supposed to be red, but it had faded and turned pink. He is slender, and if he has long hair, he should also be a handsome figure.
Shen Man observed him for a long time, and he also stared at Shen Man for a long time, the two stared at each other for a long time.
Wu Niannian cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, what are you two doing?" Shen Man, aren't you going to ask the master for a letter of recommendation, why don't you hurry up and ask the master? ”
Shen Man was about to open his mouth, but he heard Master Jingjing's voice ringing in his ears, "Can the donor tell the poor monk about your birthday?" ”
Shen Man was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, why is there another one?! I don't know how many people have asked about her birthday along the way, but she has already accepted that she should be an unlucky person and does not need to be discussed again.
So he smiled and declined, "I'm afraid that my parents have made a mistake in remembering my birthday, and I can't make it accurate." And I have come to visit the master today, not to calculate my fate, but to ask the master for a recommendation. ”
"What do you want a letter of recommendation?" He asked, "You have brought one with you, but who is asking for this one?" ”
Shen Man felt that this person might not speak too quickly, obviously hearing him speak, but he never had time to see him open his mouth. The handsome appearance was like a carving in front of Shen Man, although it was beautiful, it was as cold as night.
Shen Man was seen through by him, and said a little uncomfortably, "Actually, it is for a little girl, her recommendation letter was stolen and destroyed by a thief, I heard Miss Nian say that you can write one for us, so I took the liberty to ask for it." ”
Master Jingjing was silent for a while, his gaze crossed Shen Man's shoulders and landed on the two girls behind her. His eyes changed slightly, and he asked, "Who is the girl you are talking about?" ”
Shen Man was taken aback, she listened to Wu Niannian's tone, she thought that she knew this Jingjing Master, but it turned out that people didn't know her at all, so what was her purpose in bringing herself here?!
"I brought her here, I am Wu Niannian." She took the initiative to take a step forward and said neatly, "I have also heard of the master's prestige for a long time, and it is better to see it than to hear it, so I took the liberty of bringing my friends here, and I ask the master to understand." My two friends and I have been staying for a long time, so please open up the master network and issue a letter of recommendation as soon as possible, so that my friend and good person can do it to the end and give that little sister an explanation. ”
"I see," Jingjing said slowly, "but you are willing to seek the near and far, and it will not arouse suspicion." ”
"Seeking the near and far?" Wu Niannian was a little surprised and looked at Shen Man.
Shen Man touched his nose, as if he knew what Jing Jing was talking about.
Lime suddenly interjected, "Master, are you talking to us in ventriloquism?" ”
Shen Man and Wu Niannian were both startled, and looked at the monk at the same time.
Jingjing smiled and bowed, "That's true, you can see through it." Then he turned around, raised his hand and brushed open a curtain behind which there was a small door, and stooped in.
Shen Man said, "Is he willing to give us a letter of recommendation?" ”
Wu Niannian said briskly, "Wouldn't you know if you follow up?" As soon as he said that, he lowered his head and rushed in.
Shen Man was about to follow in, but he suddenly stopped outside, looked back at Lime and said with a smile, "Lime Gate Supervisor, didn't I let you stay outside, why did you suddenly come in?" ”
Lime snorted, "Even Su is worried about mud!" ”
"Huh? Why did you get a big tongue again? ”
Lime glared at her.
Shen Man continued, "Since you have come in, be careful, lest the old man of the gate supervisor will worry about us in Taige." She deliberately bit the word "old man" very hard.
But I saw that Lime's face changed, and she seemed to be angry.
Shen Man hurriedly turned his face and walked inside, but when he turned around, he couldn't hold back and bent the corners of his lips.
Caught......
When I walked through the small door, I realized that there was actually a long and narrow passage inside, which was paved with stones, and it looked like it was some years old. Jing Jing lit the candles as he walked in front of him, so that the dark passage could become brighter.
"Jingjing, why did you set up your study in such a dark and dark place?" Wu Niannian couldn't help muttering, "Could it be that you can write something in this environment?" ”
"Ahem-" Shen Man was almost choked by this affectionate title, and rolled his eyes at Wu Niannian.
Wu Niannian didn't seem to be able to accept it at all, and his tone and demeanor almost reached out and touched Master Jingjing's bald head lovingly.
Jingjing replied unexpectedly, "How does the girl know that the poor monk can write?" He stopped in front of a wooden door, gently pushed it open, and inside was a warm and comfortable room. The floor of the room is covered with soft grass and wood mats, which can be stepped on barefoot.
Jing Jing took off his shoes, went in first, and then sat down cross-legged behind a low table.
Shen Man looked at his bald head, shining under the bright lights in the room, and seemed to be shining with golden light all over his body, he felt that he was almost about to sit down and become a Buddha, and he couldn't help but feel that the person in front of him was a little deep and elusive.
Several people then sat down, only Wu Niannian was still standing around and observing the indoor furnishings.
"I didn't expect the master to have a lot of taste," Wu Niannian held a chic teapot in his hand, looked at the seal at the bottom and said, "This thing should be worth a shop on the street on the market." ”
Shen Man looked at her in surprise, "Is it so valuable?" ”
Jingjing just said lightly, "Girl, be careful, don't smash the poor monk's things." ”
Lime kept staring at the manuscript paper on Jingjing's table, which was pressed by a book, and remained silent.
Jingjing said, "Since the girl came to ask for a letter of recommendation, the poor monk wrote it to the girl, but I don't know whose name it is?" ”
Shen Man asked, "Can't it be empty?" ”
Jingjing shook his head slowly, "No." ”
Wu Niannian walked over and said, "If you leave him empty, it will be a white letter, and if I told you the price of the white letter, the master will definitely refuse to write it." ”
Shen Man looked at Jingjing in surprise, in her concept, any monk who sticks to this kind of old temple in the deep mountains should be untouched by the world, pure heart and few desires, how can it have anything to do with money? But this indoor furnishings are indeed not something that ordinary people can have, is there something strange about it?
Wu Niannian smiled, "Master Jingjing, if we want to write a blank letter, how much incense money do you charge us?" ”
Jingjing pondered for a while and said cautiously, "Five. ”
Wu Niannian was immediately silenced and sat there silently.
Shen Man stretched out his head and asked, "The five he said is five thousand taels?" ”
Wu Niannian nodded and said, "Five thousand taels is five thousand taels, but it's not silver, it's gold." ”
Shen Man said, "Don't say five thousand taels of gold, even five taels of gold I can't afford it." ”
"His letter of recommendation is indeed worth the price," Wu Niannian said, "You may not know it at the time, but he is the first person in the past who is known as a 'Buddhist monk'." ”
Shen Man thoughtfully, "He is not only a Buddhist, but also a person in the Yin and Yang Dao, which is indeed extraordinary." ”
"Well," Wu Nian said, "Even if he is proficient in the Yin and Yang Dao, Jing Jing is proficient in Buddhism and Yin and Yang Dao, which are originally two different sects, but they respect him at the same time, which shows his ability." At the peak of Buddhism, he became the host of Kongtong Temple, although it gradually declined, but he was able to pass the Yin and Yang Dao examination in the name of a monk, and obtained the top three of the year, so in terms of seniority, he was——"
Jingjing smiled and took out the sign issued by the imperial court in his arms, "Create a special class onmyoji," he said, "The letter of recommendation written by me can directly skip the level, in layman's terms, that is, you don't have to queue up for registration, you can pick your own seat for the exam, maybe you don't have to go to the test to just do actual combat." Therefore, five thousand gold is really cheap. ”
The corners of Shen Man's mouth twitched, if he remembered well, Lime was also a first-class onmyoji, and the person in front of him casually threw out a special brand, which was really surprising.
As soon as he and Wu Niannian begged, they begged for a special class, and they didn't have the money to buy this recommendation letter, so it seemed that this trip should be in vain.
But Lime didn't think so, and said lightly, "Dare to ask the master, what is the thing you pressed on the table?" ”
The panic on Jingjing's face swept by. "It's just some manuscripts."
Lime said coldly, "The master is really admiring the study of Buddhism in the ancient temple in the deep mountains, I wonder if I can take out the manuscript for everyone to read and feast my eyes?" Without waiting for the other party to answer, she said idly, "I will give out five thousand taels of gold leaves to see the master's manuscript." ”
Wu Niannian looked at her with wide eyes and surprise, as if he had seen a monster.
"Five thousand taels of gold leaves?! Are you crazy?! "Because of its light weight and preciousness, this gold leaf is more popular than gold of the same price, and of course it is more valuable. And this man named Lime didn't even blink his eyes and planned to pay this money to see the manuscript that the master didn't know what to write, which was really a big wrong!
This transaction seemed to outsiders to be a loss for lime, but it was immediately rejected by Jingjing, "The girl is generous, thank you, but the poor monk's manuscript still doesn't want to be released to the world." ”
Lime was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still said slowly, "I don't know the master, have you ever heard of the pen name 'Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng'?" ”
