Chapter 4: The Face of a Monk
At the end of the day, Xu Yuan sat up from the bed with sleepy eyes, dressed slowly, the old monk was not in a hurry, and waited with a smile, Xu Yuan walked out of the house, the weather was cold, he shivered, and when he looked up, the round moon was still hanging steadily in the sky, he turned around and ran into the house, but was pushed out by the old monk, "My good apprentice, how can you run back when you come out of class, although you are really thin, but it will be warm when you sweat for a while." ”
Xu Yuan glared at him in disbelief, "Is it past the time now, why are you going in the middle of the night, sneaky, aren't you going to dig people's ancestral graves?" The monk was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Sins and sins, how can you think so about my good apprentice, the time for the master has come, it still depends on you sleeping soundly and letting you sleep until the end of the day, let's go, teach you the first lesson for the teacher today: breaking the game!" ”
The old monk took him to the south, Xu Yuan was able to keep up at first, and then the old monk walked faster and faster, Xu Yuan simply trotted to keep up, about an hour or so, the two of them walked to a cliff, Xu Yuan looked at his baby master, and smiled: "Okay, it's the end, let's go back, we can sleep when we go back, the apprentice said goodbye first." After saying that, he ran away, and the old monk dragged him back, "Isn't this the place where you are, good apprentice, come, jump down." ”
"If you don't jump, you can't jump, if you're so high, you won't be able to survive if you go down." Xu Yuan slowly stepped back, "The villain remembered that in another hundred days, my mother's thirty-third birthday, I had to hurry back to prepare and say goodbye." The old monk reached out and took his collar to the edge of the cliff, "Yes, then Buddha, I must taste Mrs. Xu's banquet..."
Xu Yuan woke up, and in front of him was the face of the old monk, "My stupid apprentice, what the Buddha means, let you pull the cliff side and crook your neck down the tree, you are sincere, face down, and frightened, if it weren't for the Buddha, I saw that things were wrong and followed, your little life will be explained today, whether your mother's banquet can be eaten I don't know, your banquet is a teacher, but I almost ate it, tsk, it seems that the Buddha should persuade your father to take advantage of his youth to have another one, so as not to be angry with you..."
Xu Yuan looked around and saw that this was a cave, it seemed that the purpose of the old monk was this, he retreated again and again, breaking free from the old monk's embrace, "If you don't throw me down, nothing happens, look at you, and say anything to make my father give birth to such a bastard again, it's really nonsense!" "Xu Yuan!" The old monk stopped Xu Yuan, who turned to leave, Xu Yuan ignored him, insisted on walking out, and gasped when he saw outside, what the hell is this place, there is no road around, only a crooked neck tree. He hurriedly turned around and crawled to the old monk's side, "Master, what do you call me?" "If you look at the face of the Buddha, what can you see that you can't?" Xu Yuan looked at it carefully, "Master, you went out in a hurry and didn't wash your face. ”
The old monk's expression froze, and he waved his hand, "It's okay, what does the Buddha have to do with you rabbit cub, come with me." Xu Yuan followed him to the depths of the cave and was surprised to find a large pool, and the water in it was crystal clear. Undress and get inside! "Okay, master." Xu Yuan quickly stripped naked, and first tested the water temperature with his feet, "Hey~ It's so cold, I won't go in." The old monk kicked him in the ass behind him, and Xu Yuan fell headlong into the water. It's so cool! Frozen to death, you, you, you, come and save me, the master doesn't know water! Anyone! Help me! Shanyuan looked at Xu Yuan, the corners of his mouth twitched, when he met such a master, the gods couldn't help it. You can't hold on to the rocks on the shore? Can the Buddha still let you drown here? Just take a few sips of bath water. ”
Xu Yuan used his hands and feet together, grabbed the stones on the shore, breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked back, the old monk Shanyuan was already naked in the pool. "The Buddha knew at first glance that your kid has high cheekbones, a hard life, a wife, and a death calamity in his life, and you are already in the game." "You have high cheekbones, you have a hard life, you have a wife, aren't you a monk, how can you be like a fortune teller." Xu Yuan was lying lazily, although the pool water was cold, he got used to it after soaking for a long time, but there was an indescribable comfort. "Although the Buddha has shaved his degree, it is for people to flicker, the Buddha only believes in Taoism all his life, and he brought you here today in order to put you and die and live later, maybe when the situation is broken, you still have a trace of life."
The old monk lowered his head and got into the pool, Xu Yuan only felt a pull at his ankle and slid into the depths, he was still struggling there, Shanyuan had already dressed, and looked at Xu Yuan who was struggling with a smile, "Dare to say that the Buddha is a charlatan, very good, the Buddha appreciates your courage, drink a few more sips of bath water and come out." Xu Yuan slowly crawled out of the pool, his eyes were no longer like the unruly and unruly just now, but revealed a fierceness, he really didn't expect it wrong, this old monk is really not an ordinary person, but a Taoist person, although he is dressed in the skin of compassion, but he can't hide the fierceness revealed from his bones. What is the purpose of his coming to him?
Shanyuan held Xu Yuan with one hand, and flew to the edge of the stone cliff with a little foot. "It's almost time, and I've missed the training, but I'm going to be beaten with a stick." After the kind reminder, the pace of his feet quickened, and he left Xu Yuan, Xu Yuan could only run up and return to the camp to report, but found that the pace under his feet was much faster than before, and he finally arrived at the barracks when it was almost time. During training, Xu Yuan found a figure on the eaves, it was the old monk of Shanyuan, half-leaning on the eaves, sleeping soundly. This old monk, Xu Yuan thought to himself, tossing me at night and sleeping a lot during the day, it is too much. He quietly took a small stone and planned to disturb the good dream of good karma, but the stone was impartial and the ghost fell on the centurion's head, and the centurion found out that it was Xu Yuan, and rewarded him with 20 military sticks, so that people carried him aside without eating lunch, and continued to train from time to time.
When Xu Yuan was depressed, the smiling face of the monk Shanyuan appeared in front of him, "Everyone in the military camp dares to cause trouble, and if you commit the following crimes, you really deserve to be my apprentice." Xu Yuan instantly felt sleepy, "My master, it's all my fault, you can rest for a while, don't toss me, don't worry, Xu Yuan will definitely look forward to you from now on, and absolutely listen to you." "Really?" The old monk played with the stone in his hand and said to Xu Yuan: "Tonight is still Yin, you set off from the mansion, and you will go to the stone cliff today, if you can't, I'm afraid that you will continue to eat tomorrow's hardships,"
After reading Xu Yuan, the old monk turned around and changed from a wicked smile to a kind Zen master, touched his freshly shaved head, walked out of the barracks, and came to the cave where Xu Yuan took a bath today, looking at the yarrow scattered in the deepest part of the cave, his brows furrowed.
