On the rugged mountain road, a group of monks and disciples are slowly moving forward. One of the monks was a big man, but because of the hot weather, he was shirtless. He put a wet robe over his shoulder, revealing a solid and burly body. When the sweaty man kept wiping his sweat, he didn't forget to say to a young monk wearing a hat and straw sandals walking in front of him: "Hey! I didn't see it! ~ The monk's foot strength is good! ”

The young monk wearing a hat in front of him said, "This Aoki Ridge is a steep mountain, but it looks like the Jinhong Mountain that you came from. These mountain roads are often walked. If Senior Brother Xu Huai is tired, then let's stop and rest for a while. ”

"Uh... Ha ha! How can it, how can it! Isn't the monk joking with me?! Hey! I, what can I say... It also came from the mountain state, which is known as the mountain state. The temple I came to was also in the middle of the mountains and forests. Hey! Just, just this kind of trail right now, can it be compared to the road I took when I was in Aizhou? If the monk were to travel to my pass, he would know how difficult the mountain road was. Compared with this Jidu Mountain, it is really a small thing. ”

This big man is the one who escorted Dan Rulai to Aoki Ridge. And the young monk who spoke to him and walked in front of him was the kind of light he had to take care of. Therefore, horses could not travel in the Aoki Ridge, so when they came to the vicinity of the mountain, they had to go on foot. Although the Aoki Ridge they came to was one of the Jidu Mountains. However, because this mountain is steep and far away from the courtyard mountain, it has been two days since they left the temple to return to the temple.

Although Xu Huai was born in the Great Yan Pass Prefecture and believed in the Mahayana Buddha. Because of the mountains and mountains in the state, the city is also known as "Shanzhou". But he, a monk from the state of the mountains, is really not a person who is good at mountain walking. Just now, he was talking to Danru, and when he heard Danru talk about resting if he was tired, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, but it hit the sore spot in his heart. Although he really wanted to, he just stopped and rested for a while. But how could he, who loves face very much, admit that he is tired of walking at this time? Could it be that he is a good man... Even, even the monk who believed in Hinayana Buddha in front of him was not as good?! That's, that's embarrassing, isn't it?! It was because Xu Huai was still stubborn in the end, and he boasted to Danru while refusing to boast about the difficulty of his hometown of Aizhou Mountain Road.

And after listening to Su Huaihao's boasting, Danru immediately muttered: "Do you want to go to Aizhou?" ”

Xu Huai said: "Hey! How? The monk really wants to go to the place where I came from? ~ That's a good feeling! If the monk goes to Aizhou, I don't dare to say anything else~ This tea must be enough! Alas! I really don't know what is delicious about the grass and leaves all over the mountains? The sons of the scholar clan love to drink, the officials love to drink, and even the Son of Heaven loves to drink. And most of us who don't have hair on our heads love to drink... But I don't like to drink the water soaked in the leaves of the grass. What's so good about the water that has been soaked in the grass? It's better to drink water freely! But those leaves of grass, as long as they are picked from the mountains, become the Xibei goods that everyone is vying for. Take the monk as an example, the mountain tea in the pass of the tea ceremony enters you, and it will all become silver. Not to mention the tea that was shipped to Huangjing in Zhongzhou. There is also the royal tribute tea that is only for the dignitaries and dignitaries in the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, as well as the royal family relatives to drink. But in the end, the money from selling tea can be put into the hands of tea farmers? Haven't they all been exploited clean by the officials and scholars who come and go to traffick and collect tea? Alas! Belch... Ha ha! Don't blame the monks, don't blame! I'm digressing from here! Off topic! ”

As indifferent as listening to Xu Huai's words, he couldn't help but feel in his heart that even if this Xu Huai came from other states, the pass he came to was the same as his own worship state... This land property is also controlled by the scholar family. But unlike the Aizhou, there are more in the realm of this worship state, and they are not much different from the monks of the temple. But what is the difference between what these monks and monks do and the scholars who exploit the people? Heard... Their sect that believes in Mahayana Buddhism in the narrow state does not allow the monks in the sect to get close to women. Even the main master of the temple and one door is selected from among the disciples who are not related by blood. This kind of foreign sect that has no heirs and no bloodline succession, but I don't know how many grievances in the sect will be less than my own sect.

Because there will be no wives and concubines if you are not close to women, there will naturally be no women to interfere, and the internal affairs of the sect will be chaotic. Since it is not close to women, there will be no heirs, and the master of the temple can only choose the heir who will succeed the master of the temple among the disciples who are not related by blood. It also saves the battle for the heirs of the sons that bothered the sect the most. And since there are no heirs, there will be no such thing as a division of the scholars, and there will be no tendency to divide the family and the family...

Compared with the outer sect of the Mahayana Buddha who came from this Xuhuai, his own sect is really very smoky. The meaning of the Mahayana Buddha is to save everyone, and the Hinayana Buddha who only saves himself is even more different from the belief in this sect. If you can go to Aizhou in the future, you must have a good life to travel.

Seeing that Danru walking in front of him suddenly lost his words, Su Huai, who thought of his hometown temple, couldn't help but sigh and said, "Alas! It's a pity that Aizhou is not only a believer. The bull-nosed Taoist priests in those states are deeply favored by the state sergeants! There are many Taoist temples and dojos in various parts of the state than there are temples. Even the local government in the state has a lot of collusion with those bull-nosed Taoist priests. Just like those who are now deeply favored by the Son of Heaven in the Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou, those Taoist priests who specialize in refining Laoshizi pills for the Son of Heaven are not all from Aizhou. Hey! What immortality! I don't know what those who believe in bull nose think? If there really is such a good thing, those bull-nosed Taoist priests, why don't they themselves live forever first? I have to wait for you to find him, so what kind of pills do you have to eat and immortal? In addition, those bull-nosed pills also have the effect of strengthening and joy. Many scholars are begging, and those bull-nosed refining pills are happy. This pill is so sought-after, those bull-nosed pockets naturally have a lot of money! Not to mention themselves, they already have a lot of land in the state.

Compared with the monks, you sects that believe in Hinayana Buddhism... At the very least, your state can have the final say on your family. But when we arrived at the Buddha we believed in in Aizhou, they couldn't compete with those alchemists. But... Most of those who believe in bull noses are the members of large families in some states. The average dealer can't get in, and those bulls' noses are the eyes. Also! Everyone can be called by the Son of Heaven to go to the imperial capital to specialize in alchemy, and they still care about some powerless villagers? That's good, too! There are many people in the state who believe in Buddhism. Although the monastery lived a poor life, it was rarely excluded by the ox's nose. But life can always be passed. It's just that... Every time I think of those bull-nosed Taoist priests, who are rampant in the state and are no different from the scholars, Lao Tzu has a fire in his heart! Hum! Don't let Lao Tzu seize any chance! If Lao Tzu had the opportunity to punish the bull noses in that state, Lao Tzu would definitely punish them ruthlessly! ”

It was as light as listening to Xu Huai's complaints, but he didn't want the outer sects in the Aizhou to be invincible to the believers. Although he had never met a Taoist priest, he had heard a little about those who believed. For the Taoist alchemy and qi cultivation technique, he only knows a few words. After all, his own state is "Florida", and Taoist priests have almost no existence, so how can he learn about this paganism.

"Listen to Senior Brother Xu Huai's words... Could it be that Senior Brother traveled around Benzhou because of this? ”

As if in a moment of contemplation, he walked behind him.

Xu Huai laughed: "The monk really knows how to guess!" Not bad! Lao Tzu just can't get used to those bull-nosed Taoist priests who are powerful and prosperous in the state! And because... Hehe! And because Lao Tzu was in the state, he beat up a few bulls' noses who bullied the people! Belch... Among the Taoist priests who were beaten, there were just a few who were not easy to mess with. In order not to affect his own temple, Lao Tzu ran out by himself! Those government officials who have received the letter, as long as they know the name of Lao Tzu, who dares to come to take Lao Tzu? I let Lao Tzu go~ This time, Lao Tzu never returned to Benzhou, and he has been wandering outside. This doesn't sway around, but it sways to you, the worship state where you believe in Hinayana Buddha? Alas! There is really no comparison between this state and the state! Compared to the Aizhou where Lao Tzu came... If you can have half the power of your sect of the state of worship... I won't be bullied by the bull's nose in the state! But... Because there are still some scholars in the state who have been supporting Buddhist temples for generations. So those bull-nosed Taoist priests didn't dare to be too presumptuous. But if you want not to be deceived by others, how can you rely only on others? So this self-preservation power is a must! This knife is still in your own hands to be considered solid. ~”

Xu Huai patted him as he spoke, and the knife on his waist came. Danru did not answer, but continued to lead the way. When the group walked a long and rugged mountain road. Finally, I faintly heard the sound of a stream not far ahead. Although the sound was not loud, as soon as he heard the sound from Xu Huai, he couldn't help but sigh. But he was really tired and couldn't walk. As soon as they heard the faint sound of the stream not far ahead, they knew that they were not far from the destination they had come from. Just as Xu Huai was about to say something, he suddenly frowned and stopped. One of the palms of his hand also grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist as he stopped. Then he shouted to one side of the body to a dense bush, "Who's there!" Don't hurry up and get out of here! ”

With a loud shout from Xu Huai, Danru and the leading monk who were moving forward also hurriedly stopped and looked at the bushes that Xu Huai was looking at.
