After reading the book, it was time to have breakfast, Ning Caichen's daily life was extremely regular, he didn't call Bai Suzhen together, he went to the kitchen alone to make breakfast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoBreakfast is very simple, it is a boiled wild vegetable with some collected grass seeds and mountain fruits. He knocked lightly on Bai Suzhen's door and gave a copy, after eating, Bai Suzhen was very polite and offered to help wash the dishes, but Ning Caichen insisted, so she could only let her.

From this day on, the two began to get along day and night, Ning Caichen studied and practiced calligraphy all day long, Bai Suzhen meditated cross-legged, and sometimes discussed some cultivation issues, the relationship was much better, and Ning Caichen had not understood a lot of Buddhist principles and books. The two of them spent two years here, during which they hunted and gathered together, lived on each other, and their lives were no longer lonely, full of laughter.

The scarecrow seems to have forgotten that he still needs the Diamond Sutra to temper his body and live happily, and he has also forgotten the ambition he set at the beginning to chase the footsteps of the crow. The house where Ning Caichen lived before he was devoured was also rebuilt by the two of them, and a lot of charcoal was stored in it, which was prepared in advance for winter. In autumn, the wind is very strong, and the leaves are blowing everywhere, and the freshly swept ground will be full of leaves after a while. Although Ning Caichen was transformed by a scarecrow, he was a person who couldn't see dirty, and swept the ground over and over again.

On the ninth day of September, the wind was particularly strong, and people couldn't open their eyes. Ning Caichen swept the ground in the courtyard against the wind, because he couldn't open his eyes, so he lowered his head, he swept and saw a pair of worn-out straw sandals appear in the sight, this straw shoes are very worn, at a glance, you know that you have walked a lot of roads, and you have walked through thousands of mountains and rivers. Looking up along the foot, there is a robe and a Zen staff, which turns out to be a monk. The monk still held a golden pot in his other hand, and his head was bare, and he lit twelve ring scars.

When Ning Caichen saw this monk, the monk's eyes were also focused on him, and his eyes were shining, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

"Donor, dare to ask your surname?"

"Your surname is Ning, your name is Caichen, I don't know what the master has to do here!" The arrival of this monk made Ning Caichen think that he was not just a scholar, but also needed the Buddhist Diamond Sutra to quench his body, and his heart was a little disturbed, and his mood was not good, so his tone was very bad.

The monk didn't care about his tone at all, and hurriedly introduced

"The old monk is the protector of Fahua Temple, and his status is equivalent to that of the host, and today he came to find the demon, but he didn't expect to meet a person like the donor, which is really a great luck."

Ning Caichen was puzzled and asked

"What a fate! Do you mean me? ”

"Yes, donor, you may not know, you have the appearance of the national color and heavenly fragrance as my Buddhism says, and you are a genius in cultivating Buddhism, as long as a high monk introduces the door, you will definitely be able to achieve positive results."

"Me? The color of the country and the fragrance of the sky? Haha, master, don't be kidding. ”

When the monk saw Ning Caichen's performance, he panicked and hurriedly explained

"Donor, you don't know, although I don't pay attention to the skin in my Buddhism, there is a saying about hue, and different hues are very different when cultivated. In addition to the national color and heavenly fragrance, there are pear blossoms with rain, the country and the city, the flower and the moon and other hues, the donor has the most outstanding one of all the hues, it is really rare, so the old monk sees you feel fate, want to extradite you to take refuge in my Buddha, sincerely hope that you can think about it. ”

"Hmph" Ning Caichen snorted coldly, "What are you talking about this old bald donkey, this hue and that hue, don't lie to me, hurry up, if you don't leave, I'm going to beat someone!" As he spoke, he raised the broom in his hand and made a gesture to strike.

Seeing that Ning Caichen was angry, the old monk didn't dare to sit or stay any longer, so he quickly withdrew from the courtyard and stopped pestering.

Ning Caichen did not give up, and scolded loudly

"Old bald donkey, you don't want to lie to me, come here again, see you once, beat you once!"

As soon as the monk walked away, Bai Suzhen walked out of the house and said to Ning Caichen

"The monk just now is the monk who chased and killed me, he is the protector of Fahua Temple, his Dharma name is Fahai, he is powerful and ruthless, and he can't be easily provoked."

Ning Caichen turned his head when he heard this

"I know, you don't have to worry about it. But I don't know whether the hue of what he said is true or not. ”

Bai Suzhen thought about it for a while, and then she had an idea

"What Fahai said, there shouldn't be anything wrong, whether it's Buddhism, Taoism, or other cultivation sects, they will have different evaluations of disciples, and there will be a big difference in cultivation speed with different qualifications, but you are a scholar, even if you usually read some Buddhist scriptures, but you don't know how to get so attached to the Buddha?"

"This ......" Ning Caichen opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't know how to say it.

Bai Suzhen knew each other very well, so she quickly stopped the topic.

"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, we all have our own secrets."

Ning Caichen nodded with satisfaction, a smile on the corner of his mouth. This kind of laughter is sincere, and in two years, Bai Suzhen has taught him a lot, including laughter.

The time was close to dusk, Bai Suzhen made dinner, the two of them sat in Bai Suzhen's house, ate calmly, and then drank a few cups of tea, put the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and did not mean to wash the dishes. They all understand that once this bowl is brushed, I am afraid that the last meal will be over, and it will be time to separate. No one was willing to poke this matter, and continued to chat with each other, it was getting late and late, and Ning Caichen did not read or study the scriptures this night, breaking the rules of life again. The two of them only felt that time passed too quickly, and there were endless words, and the east side was already white.

The two looked out the window in unison and fell silent. After a long time, Bai Suzhen finally spoke

"Ning Gongzi, since Fahai dares to venture to chase here, he should have relied on, he is not afraid of those powerful existences in the dense forest, I am afraid that my danger is coming, he sees you as having a fate with the Buddha, it should not be a fraud, I don't know if we can sit down and eat together when we meet in the future, and chat softly."

Ning Caichen was silent, and Bai Suzhen continued

"I was originally a white snake, I have been living a leisurely life, this time in order to avoid trouble, I have to enter the dense forest to seek refuge, and then I am afraid that I can no longer do what I want, we don't know if we can meet again in the future?" After speaking, she looked at Ning Caichen with eager eyes.

The scarecrow is also a human being, still affectionate, and his clear eyes looked at Bai Suzhen with affection

"White girl, the two of us have lived together for two years, the love in the middle is really real, how dare I forget, today is separated, there will be a time when people will meet, no matter whether I am a Buddha or a demon in the future, we are all friends. I am determined to be in the true continent at the center of the world, and when I sail in Japan, I will definitely see you again. ”

The two involuntarily hugged each other and hugged each other tightly, for fear that the other party would disappear if they were not careful. The sky was finally bright, and at the last moment before the dawn, Bai Suzhen turned into a white line and disappeared in the direction of the dense forest. Ning Caichen cleaned up his emotions, began to wash his face and brush his teeth, and continued his normal life for a day.

"Fish, I want, bear's paw, I also want, I can't have both, and he who gives up fish and takes bear's paws. Life, also what I want, righteousness, also what I want, can not have both, sacrifice life and take righteousness. Life is also what I want, and what I want is more than the living, so I don't want to get it. Death is also evil to me, and the evil is worse than the dead, so I can't avoid it. If you make ......"

When he read the book, there was no trace of parting sorrow, and the bookish spirit on Ning Caichen's body burst out and was dazzling. However, before the book was finished, the old monk came again yesterday, this time it was different from the last time, he appeared directly in the Lanruo Temple, in front of Ning Caichen, very abruptly. His body is full of golden light, the light of the Buddha is shining, and he is a monk who has attained the Tao at a glance.

He saw that Ning Caichen focused on himself, and bent down slightly to give a salute. Speak

"Lao Gu is the protector of Fahua Temple, the name of the law is the sea, and the meaning of the sea of law is boundless. Today to disturb, or for the thing that was said yesterday, the son has the appearance of the country and the fragrance of the sky, since he was encountered, it is related to my Buddha, if today's son insists on refusing to convert, the old man will drag you into the Fahua Temple even if he is strong. ”

This opening is a dead end, not giving Ning Caichen any space to speak, the scarecrow stared at him with clear eyes for a long time, and finally spoke

"You're sick! You still want to use it against me, but you can't do it! This is very pertinent and hurtful.

Who knew that Na Fahai not only did not get angry, but responded with righteous words

"What if I just use force on you, you have a relationship with my Buddha, and I will take you to take refuge in my Buddha, there is no problem. Even if I use strength, the Buddha will not worry about me, but will praise me greatly. After saying this, without waiting for Ning Caichen to speak, he was about to take him down, and a golden giant hand was sent to his back to form, where could Ning Caichen resist, he was caught in the palm of his hand.

Ning Caichen couldn't resist, but his mouth didn't stop

"Old bald donkey, you are robbing, is there any heavenly reason, is this how your Buddha taught you? Let you bully a weak scholar? Even if I go to Fahua Temple, I won't be at your mercy, don't you think! ”

No matter what he said, the big golden hand grabbed him, and flew towards the Fahua Temple, his hair fluttered, angry eyes, iron heart, firmly believing that the Buddha would not blame, but would greatly appreciate him for being a peerless genius for Buddhism.

From Lanruo Temple to Fahua Temple, this distance is absolutely far, Fahai flew for several days, Ning Caichen shouted and scolded, and slowly became tired and sleepy, and hungry. I didn't have the strength to scold, but I just begged Na Fahai to get some food quickly, otherwise if I didn't reach Fahua Temple, people would have starved to death on the way. Fahai adjusted his giant hand to straighten him, took out a few baked cakes and a kettle from his arms, and shouted

"Eat, this is a cheeky baked cake from Lao Ke, I have been reluctant to eat it, you kid is cheap, and when I get to Fahua Temple, Lao Ke has to eat a hundred bowls of rice."

"A hundred bowls? Are you a pig? Ning Caichen was not polite at all, stuffed the baked cake into his mouth, and scolded when he opened his mouth.

Nafahai listened, did not have a temper, and spoke

"Feel free to scold you, the old man has already quit anger, and he won't care at all. Kill demons and demons along the way, I don't know how many demons and monsters I have killed, and I won't let you go back and eat more rice? Speaking of which, there is a white snake demon who has not completely recovered him yet, and after sending you back to Fahua Temple, I will come out for a walk, and I must get rid of him on the spot. ”

As soon as Fahai mentioned the White Snake Demon, Ning Caichen immediately thought of Bai Suzhen, and his good impression of this Fahai was lowered to another notch, thinking that after the Diamond Sutra was successfully quenched, he must help Bai Suzhen get rid of this big threat, but now that his cultivation is declining, he can't see the level of the old bald donkey, and whether he can beat it in the future has to be said separately. But for the sake of the White Maiden, this must be done.
