286 Walking Monk [Three Watches]
After a little contact, Nuomi became a little concerned about Zhou Dong's youngest son.
It's just that the young man just goes to the school outside Xianyi City every day to go to school, and only comes back to this courtyard in the evening, without stopping or talking to others, just coming and going in a hurry, calling Nuomi and not having a chance to talk to him.
Nuomi herself was already busy like a little spinning top, cultivating exercises, opening the furnace for alchemy, taking care of the Spirit Valley Immortal Grass in the Ethereal Illusion Realm, and taking time to care about the cultivation of the leopard and the growth of the spirit fruit doll on the cold vine.
On weekdays, when she is free, she has to go outside to sell a little medicine, and she has to listen to the nonsense that Huāmian has passed in front of her. Although she was not interested in Huāmian's words, she was afraid that Huāmian's words would mention news related to Qingming Zhenren and Zhuzi, so she didn't dare to miss it.
She is slowly hearing it now, huāmian just wants to have a good relationship with her, as for what to do after the relationship is good, huāmian herself has not thought about it, and glutinous rice is too happy not to bother with him.
Ye Fan hadn't asked her to help open the furnace for a long time. But through Mu Kui, he learned that she was challenging the strange elixir, and asked Mu Kui to hand her a little higher-grade fairy grass. Although she didn't say anything, the list of asking her to help buy things was also sent all the way and never broke, but Nuomi still saw a little support from it.
When she opened the furnace for alchemy, Su Dingbang also sent her a few times to transmit note paper and invited her to go outside to do tasks together. Nuomi had the fright of Huāmian, and now she really can't get out, so she refuses them one by one.
Even Lu Zong sent a note to say hello to her because he hadn't seen glutinous rice for a long time, and he didn't know if he really wanted to say hello, or if he was worried about the glutinous rice's elixir, but he still had a heart.
is the only one who has Xiao Jingyan, and sure enough, he has never appeared in front of Nuomi again, and he has no news, and he doesn't know where to hide or what to do.
With so many things to do, Nuomi has less time to care about the young man in Zhou Dong's family. Only occasionally when I stand in the courtyard will I think of the boy with a cold eye.
The alienation in the young man's eyes was not the same as the monks she had seen before. Those monks are all because they have a certain ability and are proud of themselves, so they have a kind of contempt when they look at people. And what this young man had in his eyes was really a kind of indifference like guard. Just like a small beast, he was afraid that the people outside would hurt him in the slightest, so he first built a wall of ice in front of him.
When Nuomi recalled his eyes, she felt very concerned.
When she wandered down the mountain, she could occasionally see such eyes, although the eyes of those street children were more numb and desperate.
At first, she had no strength or ability, and she couldn't even feed herself, and no matter how much she sympathized with those street children, she couldn't do anything for them. But now it's different, her identity and even her ability are different, she sees this boy now, and she wants to save him, but in fact, she is just looking back at herself when she sees this young man.
What she wants to save may not be this teenager at all, but the little homeless child who was also powerless behind this teenager.
It's just that, even so, glutinous rice doesn't know where to start.
After all, that young man is Zhou Dong's son, even if Zhou Dong is a madman, he has the identity of his own father, even if he beats that young man in this Xianyi City, no one will say anything.
Later, he was ordered by Zhou Dong to go to the front of Nuomi's room and ask Nuomi for medicinal liquid. But the boy only hesitated for a moment in front of the glutinous rice room each time, and then turned back to the room, and then he could hear the sound of beating and scolding coming from the room.
The casual cultivators outside used to just look at it as if they were laughing at it, but when they heard more about it, they began to frown. Some people also said in private, saying that Zhou Dong was a bad breed who would only bully his son and vent his anger on his son.
Even so, they, outsiders, can't do anything.
Glutinous rice is also the same as these loose cultivators outside, so you can only do it in a hurry.
When Nuomi was busy and worried, a new tenant moved in to this yard after a long absence. Moreover, this tenant is rarely rented in a separate room on the glutinous rice side, and he is divided into a room on the left side of the glutinous rice, with a low fence in the middle.
When the tenant moved in, Nuomi was opening the furnace in the room for alchemy, and when it was a critical moment, he didn't go out to see the excitement.
Later, after the other party settled down, Nuomi saw the tenant outside, and was immediately startled.
The tenant himself was very peaceful, and sat upright on the threshold of his room, and when he saw Nuomi looking at him with the same surprise as the others, he smiled and saluted Nuomi, but did not speak.
"Are you...... Monk? ”
It was the first time that Nuomi saw a bald monk wearing a robe in this Xianyi City, and his eyes immediately widened with curiosity.
The monk smiled and nodded, then reached out and pointed to a small wooden sign beside the door.
Nuomi turned his head to look, only to see that it was a wooden sign with the name of the owner written on it, and the two big characters of "repentance" were neatly printed on it, and the handwriting was not the same as that in front of the glutinous rice door, so it could be seen that it was not written by the little steward. The handwriting on the wooden sign is very neat, as if it was written after measuring with a craftsman's vernier ruler, the traces are deep and smooth, and there is a little ink on it, so that people can not figure out what tools are used to write it.
Since the wooden sign in front of the door of this room reads the word "repentance", it is probably the name of the monk.
Nuomi asked tentatively, "Yes...... Repentance Master? ”
Seeing that the monk smiled and nodded, Nuomi breathed a sigh of relief. She thought about it for a long time before she remembered what the honorific title for these monks should be.
Repentance is not handsome, but it makes people feel that he is kind at first glance, and his face is full of generosity. He was long and broad-shouldered, but not as strong as his physique, but as tall as a pine and cypress, just sitting on the threshold, with his back as tall as glutinous rice.
Nuomi looked at Repentance curiously for a long time, and asked some words carefully, but Repentance just shook his head or nodded with a smile, and did not answer. Even when he saw that Nuomi was a female cultivator, he didn't have a dodging look when he repented, and he still faced Nuomi naturally in a row.
Guo Yingwu and Song Qiu have been guarding the front of the courtyard, and when Guo Yingwu turned around, he saw Nuomi standing on the side talking to Repentance, so he walked over and said to Nuomi, "You just feel curious, don't talk to Master Repentance anymore." He practices closed-mouth meditation, and it is said that he never speaks, and if he breaks the vows, it is like breaking the body of a monk who exercises pure yin and pure yang, and he will not talk to you. ”
"Ah, that's right." Nuomi blinked her eyes, and then she knew why Repentance was just looking at her with a smile on the side, and she didn't mean to speak. She was still a little skeptical that the monk was dumb, it seemed that Repentance was originally able to speak, but it was only because of the practice of this closed-mouth meditation that she fell silent.
Nuomi actually wanted to ask if she would talk in her dreams in the middle of the night, but when she thought about it, she felt that this question was too rude, so she quickly swallowed the question back into her stomach.
It is indeed rare to see monks in this Xianyi City, and in the entire Xianyi City, it can be said that all the people who look at it are scattered cultivators, and now I suddenly see the monks, who still live in a separate room here, which makes people very curious.
The hands worn by Repentance are all excellent magic weapons, although their own cultivation level is not thorough, but Nuomi only looked at it casually, and found that Repentance's cultivation was definitely not below her, as for how much higher than her, she didn't know.
Fellow monks and fellow Taoists are actually cultivators.
It's just that in the beginning of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, there was only such a thing as a monk. It was only after the monks introduced Buddhism through other countries that they gradually flourished, so most of the people they saw in Xianyi City were monks.
Moreover, these monks pay attention to a very upright and peaceful attitude of cultivation, chanting sutras and reciting Buddha every day, and cultivating their minds, which is much more self-disciplined than monks. It is only in the last few decades that the Monk has emerged, and many monks have never seen it.
Ever since he came to live in this courtyard, he has attracted the attention of all the monks.
Even Zhou Dong, who never asked about the world and didn't step out of the door, couldn't help but feel curious. However, he was curious in a different way than the others, except that he opened the window a little, and leaned over to investigate.
Repentance still sat in front of his threshold, his body straight, as if there was an invisible wall behind him. When he saw Zhou Dong leaning out from the room on the third floor, he looked at Zhou Dong with a smile as if he was facing glutinous rice, and beckoned to Zhou Dong, as if he wanted to call Zhou Dong to the bottom of this courtyard.
Zhou Dong naturally couldn't take care of him, and when he saw his familiar attitude, his face became gloomy, and he slammed the window shut.
Repentance didn't care about Zhou Dong's attitude, smiled and narrowed his eyes, and looked up at Zhou Dong's room. (To be continued.)
