"I originally thought that after 20 years of self-cultivation in Buddhism, I would no longer be moved by mundane things. At the moment when Nong Qingyun appeared, I realized that I might not be able to reach the realm of 'one flower and one world, one leaf and one thing' after another twenty years of cultivation. ”

The past is deeply rooted in the internal organs of the cause, on the skin, in every pore.

He couldn't tell whether the unforgettable feeling was hatred or regret, he only felt heartache and weeping blood.

He had hidden them and deceived himself that they were no longer there, but it was in vain.

"Zhiyin, what is the most important thing for you in this life?" Shi Shazhu asked.

"Daughter!" Zhiyin replied without hesitation.

"Zhiyin, for more than twenty years, you have never revealed any of your past to me, but you have asked me to help you find your daughter. It can be seen that your daughter is more important than anything else, much more important than the hatred she once had, and much more important than the enemies of Shennong Palace. For many years, we have been weak and have achieved nothing. Now that Nong Qingyun is here, he is the palace master of Shennong Palace, the first gang in the world, with a wide range of friends and many ears and eyes, which is naturally very beneficial for finding people......"

Zhiyin's eyes gradually became dazed.

Shi Shazhu said well, but he never thought about it like this, he didn't think about wearing a mask in front of people, and stabbing him twice for a certain purpose.

Over the years, he has blindly cowardly escaped, drunk and dreamed of death to paralyze himself. He knocked his head hard, he hated himself, he should have endured the humiliation and begged for everything, so that his daughter could return to him.

"He'll help me find my daughter?" Zhiyin walked quickly to Shi Shazhu and sat down, his eyes were panicked and full of hope, like a drowning person who had gained a glimmer of life.

Nong Qingyun's arrival and the pain of revisiting the past have been blurred in his heart, and at this moment he is just worried that the beautiful vision will become a flower in the mirror again.

"I heard you mention the Shennong whip just now? You say that it is the treasure of Shennong Palace. The palace master of Shennong Palace lost the Shennong whip, and he must be anxious. You can use the Shennong Whip as a bargaining chip to deal with him. ”

Shi Shazhu tapped the table with his nimble fingers in turn, calculating the most far-sighted deals.

"The Shennong whip is not in my hand." Chiin shook his head.

"Not in your hands?" Shi Shazhu stared at Zhiyin intently, as if he wanted to find a flaw in his face, but he quickly looked away and muttered to himself, "This is a bit difficult to do......

"When Gyokuro died, I threw it deep into the mountains. It's not a good thing, it didn't save Gyokuro's life, it killed her. ”

"Thrown into the mountains, which mountain?" Shi Shazhu's five fingers, which were originally comfortably tapping on the tabletop, were clenched together.

"It's this mountain, like a mountain."

"Oh! It should still be ......," Shi Shazhu stood up and paced around the room.

"After so many years, I'm afraid it has been taken away by wild beasts, or buried in an unknown place."

"In this way, you deal with him, deceive that Nong Qingyun, and wait until he helps you find your daughter."

Chiin nodded. There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart.

Overnight, everything from twenty years ago came back to his life. Not only does he have to find his daughter, but he also has to use the Shennong whip to solve the mystery that he has been afraid to touch, but it is like a fish in his throat: why did Li Yulu suddenly get poisoned back then?

By the time Shi Shazhu came out of the abbot's room, the sun had already hidden its last rays of afterglow. The night was like a huge curtain covering the earth, and the faint light of the moon could only linger.

Haihui Temple is even more bleak than daylight, and the cry of owls is eerie.

Nong Qingyun greeted him, waiting for Shi Shazhu to open his mouth to bring him the long-awaited good news like a withered seedling looking forward to the rain.

"Master of the Nong Palace, Zen Master Zhiyin has promised to see you." The sand bamboo is full of spring breeze.

"Thank you Brother Shixian, I will thank you again in the future!" Nong Qingyun was ecstatic, looking greedily through the crack in the door, as if a huge treasure was within reach.

"Let's go inside!" Shi Shazhu turned sideways to make way for a wider road.

Nong Tieshu walked over: "I'll go in with the Master of the Agricultural Palace!" ”

Shi Shazhu stretched out his arm to block: "No, I know that I only see the master of the Agricultural Palace." ”

"You're waiting outside!" Nong Qingyun smiled, "The Zen master may be an old man, and we have a lot to say." ”

Nong Qingyun cautiously pushed open the door.

Zhiyin sat at the table, his eyes not squinting, and the dim brilliance in his eyes reflected all his gloomy sorrows.

Nong Qingyun's smile gradually froze, and for a moment he wanted to rush out of the door, but in the end he showed his yellowed teeth again, turned around and closed the door, and approached Zhiyin without hesitation.

"Senior brother, long time no see...... We have been looking for you for the past twenty years, but we didn't expect you to hide in this remote Haihui Temple. He lowered his eyes, trembling as before the elder brother.

Zhiyin didn't say a word, and let the embarrassing atmosphere spread in the room.

Nong Qingyun didn't break the silence, he didn't dare to say another second sentence before the senior brother spoke.

The distant past flows quietly in the abbot's room, and dark memories gnaw at the hearts of the two reunited.

Master, three junior brothers, and Shennong Palace at that time were clustered, mixed with sorrow and joy, crying and laughing, hatred and love.

Twenty years of wind and frost have left heavy marks between the two of them on their eyebrows, sideburns, and figures, but these marks are insignificant compared to the imprints they have etched on each other's hearts.

"Senior brother, what is the matter with you coming to Haihui Temple to find me?" Zhiyin finally opened his mouth, and it was as calm as a dry well.

"I ...... Senior brother, I didn't expect you to be willing to see me. Nong Qingyun's eyes almost welled up with tears.

"Dependent origin is extinguished, and dependent birth is empty. The past is gone. ”

"Senior brother, you have been practicing Buddhism in Haihui Temple for twenty years, and your realm is transcendent, which is not comparable to us ordinary people."

"Senior brother, you and I don't need to discuss the Dharma, just talk about it if you have something."

"Yes, big brother. In the past 20 years, I have not dared to forget Master's teachings, I dare not slack off for a day, and I have done my best to take charge of Shennong Palace, which has always maintained its status in the rivers and lakes. But...... We have been threatened and provoked by other gangs for a long time, and I am afraid that we will ...... I don't dare to compare with Master, I just ask Shennong Palace not to be worse in my hands every day. ”

Nong Qingyun unconsciously showed a begging look, and prepared sufficient foreshadowing for the next words.

Zhiyin laughed at his shamelessness in his heart, but he was still silent on the surface. Before Nong Qingyun said his purpose, Zhiyin decided to stand by and watch.

Nong Qingyun swallowed his saliva, a little overwhelmed. He didn't have to think about it to conclude that he hated him from the words that had been spit out inadvertently and from the indifferent look in his eyes, and it was so strong that there was no room for return.

However, enduring all this is not strange to him, and from the day he sets his ambition, all difficulties have become close friends that he cannot leave behind.

Nong Qingyun regained his confidence and determination: "Those animals dare to despise our Shennong Palace entirely because we have lost the treasure of the town palace, the Shennong Whip!" ”

When the words "Shennong Whip" were blurted out, Nong Qingyun noticed that Zhiyin's calm expression had changed a little that was not easy to detect.

He continued to thrust the knife deeper, "Senior brother, you left Shennong Palace twenty years ago, and the Shennong Whip was also missing, did you take the Shennong Whip away?" ”

"I didn't take the Shennong whip." Zhiyin deliberately lowered his eyes and avoided Nong Qingyun's gaze.

Nong Qingyun, who is good at observing words and feelings, was full of joy, and ecstasy and fear of uncontrollable panic were intertwined and collided in his heart.

He was already eighty percent sure that Shennong was whipped on Nong Qingshan's body. How can he go the extra mile to secure the Shennong Whip? He intends to move people with emotion once again.

"Senior brother," Nong Qingyun's eyes turned red, "our Shennong Palace without the Shennong Whip is like a person without a soul, an empty shell." Not to mention the threat to us outside the palace, the disciples in the palace cannot unite together, and those who have a little ability want to compete for the position of palace master. No, I see they want to replace me now! It doesn't matter if I'm not the palace master, I'm just afraid that Shennong Palace will be in chaos, the enemy will take advantage of the situation, and the foundation of Shennong Palace for thousands of years will be destroyed! ”

"Alas! Brother, I'm already an outsider, and there's nothing I can do. ”

"Senior brother, have you ever heard the news of Shennong's whip?"

"Never." Zhiyin's answer is still so concise.

Nong Qingyun maintained a stiff smile, and in his heart he figured out that the strategy of going straight to the point had failed, and he had to find another way.

"Don't talk about that! The senior brother sent a tea to Shennong Palace in the Mid-Autumn Festival, presumably because he missed his junior brother and Shennong Palace, right? ”

"Tea?" Zhiyin didn't know what tricks Nong Qingyun was playing. Nong Qingyun smiled slightly, and took out the Haihui tea that he specially brought out from Shennong Palace from his arms: "We are not willing to drink the tea sent by Senior Brother. ”

Zhiyin frowned and said, "You are new tea, not from my mountain." This mountain has not produced tea for two or three years. ”

Nong Qingyun was taken aback and said, "This is not Haihui tea?" ”

"It's not."

"This ...... The person who sent the tea said that it was Haihui tea sent by Haihui Temple. Someone's behind the scenes! Big brother, this tea is highly poisonous! ”

"Poisonous?"

"Well, Baicao Dan can't cure this poison. Fortunately, I have developed an antidote with a stronger detoxification ability than Baicao Dan, otherwise several disciples would have died in Shennong Palace! Senior brother, Shennong Palace is in danger now, senior brother must help junior brother! ”

"How can I help?"

"Ask the senior brother to return to Shennong Palace and preside over Shennong Palace with his junior brother."

"No, you are the palace master of Shennong Palace, I am not qualified, and I don't want to be in this important position."

"Senior brother has a grudge against Shennong Palace, and against me?"

"The Buddha said that there is no human appearance, no self appearance, no sentient beings, and no longevity. Where is resentment? ”

"Big brother!" Nong Qingyun suddenly knelt down in front of Nong Qingshan, "For the harm caused to Senior Brother by Shennong Palace in the past, Senior Brother kowtows to Senior Brother to apologize!" He knocked his head three times with all his heart, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Nong Qingshan a little moved, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Ask Senior Brother to help Shennong Palace tide over the difficulties!" ”

Nong Qingshan stopped talking, and his heart was surging under his expressionless face.
