Chapter 318: The Covenant of Life and Death
Baolian Ancient Temple was built on Niulan Mountain, the highest peak in the Binxi Mountains. The ancient temple looks at the ocean in the east and the sea in the south, and the environment is elegant and extremely quiet. Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it has been enshrined in the Guanyin Bodhisattva with kind eyebrows and good eyes, and the white roof of the lotus, and the incense has always been very vigorous. The whole temple has red walls and blue tiles, carves dragons and paints phoenixes, in addition to the main hall and the wing rooms, there are many towering archways, the dougongs that stand in a forest and the pavilions that fall together. The style is extremely simple, the momentum is particularly magnificent, and it is a good place for cultivation.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Wenlong came to Baolian Ancient Temple on time. An old monk with a solemn face greeted him quietly, lowered his eyebrows and said to him, "Amitabha, please follow the old man." ”
Xu Wenlong hurriedly bowed to the old monk and replied respectfully: "I'm sorry to disturb, and I ask the holy monk to forgive me." ”
The old monk opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Xu Wenlong with burning eyes, shook his head and sighed softly, then turned around and walked forward, whispering intentionally or unintentionally as he walked: "Good, good, life is a life, grass and trees are autumn, joy, anger and sorrow, all are floating clouds, the sea of bitterness is boundless, and turning back is the shore ......."
Xu Wenlong's heart was hot, knowing that the elderly monks were enlightening themselves from the side, hoping that he would withdraw as soon as possible, stay away from right and wrong, and not bury his life in vain. But how is this possible? He tried his best to force Ruan Shaoxiong to show up several times, and now he finally achieved his goal, how could he easily miss it? He glanced gratefully at the elderly monk who had led the way, lowered his head and silently followed him towards the temple.
Although the old monk is close to old age, he is full of energy, his steps are light and swift, and he does not show the state of a dragon bell at all. He took Xu Wenlong across the mountain gate without squinting, through the secluded path, through the main hall, through the corridor, and finally stopped in a delicate and quiet garden in the temple.
Xu Wenlong raised his eyes and looked around, and found that the garden was in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and the back was leaning on the meditation room of the scholastic courtyard, surrounded by antique corridors on both sides, forming a square courtyard. The precincts are large in size and the environment is very quiet and elegant. The greenery, flowers and trees, accompanied by the sound of gurgling water, give people a sense of paradise.
"Hahaha...... Manager Xu is really a promise, and he is really a master of art and bold! After a hoarse and smug laugh, Ruan Shaoxiong flashed out of the Zen courtyard with a cigar in his mouth and a white robe, and slowly walked towards Xu Wenlong with two guards with guns and a fat man.
"General Ruan is so Yaxing, he chose such an otherworldly place to fight, he must have planned to take a shortcut to heaven. It's just that the holy land of Buddhism is solemn and solemn, how can it allow the shameless people to defile it? Aren't you afraid of falling into the hell of the nose and never being able to turn over? Xu Wenlong looked directly at Ruan Shaoxiong and said.
"Yes, yes, this donor is absolutely right!" The elderly monk on the side was in high spirits, and hurriedly raised his hand and said to Ruan Shaoxiong, "The holy land of Buddhism, there is no dispute with the world, participate in Zen and enlightenment, and purify the public."
Sheng, Nguyen ...... Can Lord Ruan listen to the old monk again? ”
"Old bald donkey, rambling bird. If you don't get out of the way, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will burn this broken temple to the ground! A fat guard stepped forward viciously and slapped the elderly monk in the face.
Xu Wenlong rushed forward, grabbed the guard's raised right hand, glared at him angrily and said, "Disturbing people and quiet, it shouldn't be." Hitting people is even more of an animal behavior. What do you really want? ”
"What's wrong with beating someone? Can you handle it? The fat guard was extremely arrogant, and his right arm struggled, trying to break free from the restraint and continue to commit murder. But I don't want my whole right arm to be firmly clamped by iron tongs, and I can't move a single inch at all. So he gave up struggling in shame and anger, took out the pistol on his waist with his left hand, and shouted and scolded Xu Wenlong's chest: "Others say that you are a god, a ghost or a ghost, you can easily enter and exit the palace of Hades, and come and go freely, but Lao Tzu doesn't believe in this evil!" Do you think you can really outrun a bullet? ”
"Let's try it!" Xu Wenlong's face sank, and his sword-like gaze stared straight at the fat guard.
The old monk was in a hurry, and hurriedly bowed down and said to everyone: "Donors, please calm your anger, if you have something to say, why do you bother to use knives and guns?" This is ...... This is against the rules of Buddhism! ”
The fat guard glared, glared at the old monk and shouted: "The old bald donkey who doesn't know whether to live or die, hurry up and get out of the way for Lao Tzu, and if you fart here, Lao Tzu will kill you together!" ”
The old monk was helpless, so he had to look at Ruan Shaoxiong with a pleading gaze and said, "Lord Ruan, the monks don't say anything, they say that they are using peaceful methods to resolve disputes, why do they start swords and guns again?" ”
Ruan Shaoxiong laughed, and said to the fat guard with a straight face: "Put away that burning stick for me, don't be embarrassed here." In addition, please also ask the manager to be a lot, don't worry about such a reckless person. ”
Xu Wenlong eased his demeanor, let go of the fat guard's hand and said, "Since General Ruan has spoken, what else do I have to say?" It's just a bit unreasonable to bully a powerless Buddhist saint. ”
The fat guard glared at Xu Wenlong with a vicious gaze, blushing and reluctant to insert the gun back into the holster.
The old monk breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ruan Shaoxiong again and again: "Amitaba Buddha, good, good!" Lord Ruan was sincere and kind, and with a gentle word, he resolved a bloody disaster, which is really gratifying! ”
The fat butler, who had not spoken for a long time, snorted, waved his hand and said impatiently to the old monk: "General Ruan and Manager Xu have important matters to discuss, and it is better to ask the holy monk to avoid it." ”
"This ......" The old monk hesitated for a moment, and looked at Ruan Shaoxiong beside him with an uneasy gaze.
"Go, go." Ruan Shaoxiong took off the huge cigar in his mouth, squinted his eyes and said with a big grin, "I."
They will not use force, let alone damage every grass and tree in the temple. If there is any violation, you will be compensated at 10 times the price. ”
"Good, good, money is something outside the body, life does not bring death, do not take it!" The old monk looked at Ruan Shaoxiong with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart, and said, "As long as Lord Ruan has good thoughts, abstains from anger and anger, and does not provoke unprovoked disputes, everyone here can go home unscathed and safely, this is the great fortune of Buddhism!" ”
Ruan Shaoxiong laughed dryly, blew the cigar without soot and said: "After all, there is a holy monk, no anger and no desire, the four are empty, it seems that we still have to learn from the holy monk." But the holy monk, please stay away, don't delay our big things. ”
The old monk sighed, glanced at Xu Wenlong with kind eyes, and slowly walked out of the temple garden with his head down.
"Then," Ruan Shaoxiong opened his mouth and exhaled a puff of smoke, squinting his eyes and saying slowly, "polite words are avoided, and it's time to talk about the matter between us." ”
"Please also ask General Nguyen to draw the line!" Xu Wenlong straightened his chest and looked at Ruan Shaoxiong with awe-inspiring eyes.
Ruan Shaoxiong threw away the cigar and said word by word with a calm face: "I gave you a chance, I gave you a chance at the beginning, the reason why I want to hire you as a business manager with a high salary is to hope that you will protect yourself wisely, stay out of the matter, and don't mess around here." But it's good that you have repeatedly opposed me and repeatedly sabotaged my plans. Not only did he shoot many of my subordinates, but he also buried all my hard-earned money overnight. You say, how is this account calculated? Who is to blame for getting things to this point? Therefore, I don't care if you are a member of the 'Shadow' team, an ordinary soldier, and it doesn't matter if you are the manager of Bashan or Liang Jingxuan's son-in-law. In short, you don't want to easily walk out of this ancient temple today. ”
Xu Wenlong smiled coldly, and said loudly to Ruan Shaoxiong: "You act despicably, use bad methods, and do not hesitate to kill innocents and abuse the good in order to satisfy your selfish desires and grab improper benefits. You say, how do you calculate this account? Also, you lost your conscience, shamelessly acted, got the ransom and mutilated the hostage Louise, how can this account be calculated? ”
"Louise? Hahaha......" Ruan Shaoxiong looked up to the sky and laughed, "This stinky little lady, this sassy fox, I thought I didn't know that she was a CIA agent, but I didn't know whether she was alive or dead and ran to me to go undercover, in fact, I should have shot her a long time ago." Now that Manager Xu cares about her so much, he won't have that much to do with her. ”
Xu Wenlong looked at Ruan Shaoxiong with fiery eyes, raised his head and said, "Let's do it, do you want to fight alone, or do you all go together?" In a word, General Nguyen, please make it clear. ”
"No hurry, no hurry." Ruan Shaoxiong waved his hand, "You and I rarely see each other, there must be a wonderful performance." With such a rare opportunity, how can there be a lack of audiences? Let them all come out. ”
