Chapter 764: Go and Return

Li Jingshi exhibited the technique of light gong lifting, shook off the empowerment and other monks, went straight out of Tiantai Temple, and ran down Tiantai Mountain along the mountain road.

Kankan ran out for more than half an hour, Li Jing looked back and saw that there was no one chasing behind him, so he stopped his steps, and found a secluded place nearby, hiding in a bamboo forest with his waist, while calming down, repeatedly pondering the subtle differences in the attitude of the two senior monks Zhiqi and Duyu who had just been glimpsed in Tiantai Temple towards Yang Guang's invitation to Zhiqi to go to Guangling, while waiting for the sky to come down, and then returning to Tiantai Temple to find out what happened in Tiantai Temple, so that Zhiqi could not immediately leave for Guangling.

Although Zhiqi gave him a problem: he had to agree to take refuge in Buddhism before he was willing to go to Guangling, but Li Jing, with his brilliant mind, could still detect in time that his attitude in this matter was completely different from that of his monologue: since the conditions were prescribed, it meant that once Yang Guang agreed to the conditions proposed by Zhiqi, he would be invited to Guangling; But Duyu clearly did not agree with Zhiqi going to Guangling to see Yang Guang.

Thinking of what he saw and heard in the back mountain of Tiantai Mountain yesterday, and the deep hostility he felt towards himself when he reported that he had been ordered by Xiao to come to see Zhiqi, Li Jing privately guessed that most of the recent changes in the temple that Zhiqi said were related to the monk whose Dharma name was called Dujing, and then speculated that Zhiqi went up the mountain at night and was anxious to return to Tiantai Temple, which must also be related to the Dujing monk, so he made up his mind to sneak back to Tiantai Temple that night. Listen to the changes that happened in Tiantai Temple, so that the camera can help Zhiqi and facilitate him to go to Guangling to meet Yang Guang as soon as possible.

Having made up his mind in his heart, Li Jing simply lay down in the bamboo forest and fell asleep soundly.

He didn't care that he hadn't touched the water and rice for almost a whole day, and squinted in the bamboo forest and waited until it was completely dark, then he jumped out of the bamboo forest, and didn't dare to go back the same way, but instead walked through the dense mountain forest on the side of the mountain road, and returned to Tiantai Temple.

Jumping over the wall into the temple, Li Jing looked around, and saw that the Tiantai Temple was the same as yesterday, and did not strengthen its vigilance, so he sneaked all the way to the abbot who was located in the third courtyard of the temple.

The light was on in the abbot's room, Li Jing crouched under the window, poked his head out and looked into the room, and saw clearly, two long figures were reflected on the window paper: there should be two people talking in the room.

Because he was afraid that a master of martial arts in the room would notice someone outside the room, Li Jing did not dare to pierce the window paper and spy on the specific situation in the room, so he only held his breath, lay down under the window, pricked up his ears, and eavesdropped on the conversation between the two people in the room.

I heard one person say, "Master is tired from a day's work, so let's rest early." I'm going to go down the mountain again tomorrow morning to find Master Dujing. It was the sound of empowerment.

Then he heard Zhiqi's deep voice coming, and instructed the empowerment: "There are many people in the daytime, and I have time to talk to Senior Brother Duyu more in the future, it is too early for you to go and invite Senior Brother Duyu, and I will have something to say to him." ”

"Master's meaning, you want to go to the invitation of the King of Jin of the Sui Dynasty to go to Guangling to help him pacify the south of the Sui Jiangnan?" The empowerment was instructed by Zhi Qian and did not leave immediately, but asked him.

Li Jing crouched outside the window, his heart tightened when he listened, and he was busy holding his breath, wanting to hear Zhiqi's answer.

"As far as the current situation in our temple is concerned, it is not appropriate for the teacher to leave for Guangling immediately to help the King of Jin Fusui Jiangnan. However, for the empowerment, you must also understand that since you and the other brothers and sisters have chosen to join my discipleship in the first place, it means that in the future, all your actions need to be based on the common people in the world, and there is no longer a distinction between Hu and Han in your mind. ”

"Master, don't blame the apprentice for speaking for Master Dujing. Before he switched to the master's disciple, the disciple followed Master Dujing for many years, and knew that he was kind-hearted, but his mind was not open-minded enough, if it wasn't for the frustration of debating Buddhism with the master more than ten years ago, and the two evil disciples Xiao Wujian and Xiao Rushui bewitched him, his temperament would never have become so perverse and eccentric, and this time he insisted on going against the master. I hope that Master will be kind to him in the future. ”

Li Jing listened to the empowerment outside the window, and vaguely understood the truth in his heart why Dujing, Duyu and Zhiqi were called brothers and sisters, but they were not from the same teacher, and also learned that the empowerment was originally Dujing's apprentice, and I don't know why he later switched to Zhijing's disciple.

In the room, Zhi Qi sighed and said to the empowerment, "Why don't I know what Senior Brother Dujing is like? I don't want to say anything about it, but I just say that over the years, he has been frustrated by the debate with the poor monks, causing the people to betray his relatives and leave, and dozens of disciples have abandoned him and turned to my disciples. As a teacher, he was afraid that Senior Brother Dujing would be bewitched by others, so he didn't say goodbye to go down the mountain this time, and did something that was unfavorable to the pacification of the Sui Dynasty and the pacification of the Sui Jiangnan, and committed an unforgivable crime, so he was so anxious to find him and persuade him to return to the mountain to retreat, how could he have the intention of not getting along with him? During the day, I saw that the senior brother of the Sui Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty invited me to Guangling, he is your fellow teacher, and you have to persuade him more for the teacher when you are free, don't let him have a difference between Hu and Han in his heart, and make a big mistake! ”

"The master is generous, according to the disciple's thoughts, most of the Duyu master and uncle are because of the deep brotherhood with Master Dujing, so they don't agree with the master today and agree to the invitation of the king of Sui and Jin, go to Guangling, as long as the master can persuade Master Dujing to return to Tiantai Mountain and no longer ask about the disputes in the world, the master will stand on the master's side. Master, please wait a moment, and the apprentice will go and invite Master Duyu to come. As he spoke, he pushed the door and walked out.

Li Jing knew that the empowerment was not as good as the two monks of wisdom and monologue, and if he talked about kung fu, he was not much different from himself, for fear that he would find someone outside the window, so he hurriedly lay down on the spot, leaned on the ground, held his breath, and waited until the empowerment was far away, and then sat up again.

From the dialogue between Zhiqi and the initiation master and apprentice, Li Jing can already make a rough guess about the recent changes in Tiantai Temple: Master Zhiqi and Monk Dujing had a feud many years ago, which led to many disciples of the original Dujing monk led by the empowerment to switch to Zhijing's disciples, and recently, Dujing did not know who was bewitched by the animalistic intentions of someone, and went down the mountain privately, Zhiqi was so anxious to lead the empowerment down the mountain to find him because he was worried that he would make a big mistake that would be unfavorable to the Sui Dynasty, and wanted to persuade him to return to the mountain and not interfere in the disputes in the world. Because Duyu and Dujing have been the same brother for many years, they naturally disagree with Zhiqi and go to Guangling at the invitation of Yang Guangzhi when they have not found Dujing's whereabouts.

After getting a glimpse of this secret in Tiantai Temple, what Li Jing was most eager to know at this time was: between the Sui Dynasty and the remnants of Nan Chen, which side Master Zhiqi would lean towards.
