Chapter 16: Apprenticeship Rejected
After listening to this, Ling Feng pursed his lips and said in his heart: This is too evil. Say I have a magic star in my heart, how can it be, I'm not me anymore. What is the purpose of this old monk when he says this, he wants to trick me into being a monk? You don't have to work so hard. Besides, what he said about me is right.
Ling Feng didn't know what to say for a while.
The empty monk said: "Donor, the old man's words are so mysterious that you may not be able to listen to them." It doesn't matter, this is the number of days, nothing can be changed. When the time comes, you'll know everything. Don't disturb the donor's rest, the old man took his leave. ”
After leaving, Ling Feng fell into a struggling thought. I really don't want to believe it, and I can't believe it if I don't believe it. In this way, after tossing and turning all night, in the end, Bi Changkong decided that he would have nowhere to go for the time being anyway, so let's talk about it for a while in this broken temple. If he didn't agree to follow the empty school, he would have to be kicked out sooner or later.
The next day, Ling Feng came to the main hall to find a vacancy. He was meditating on the futon, and when he saw Ling Feng coming, he nodded and motioned for him to sit down, then closed his eyes and continued to close his eyes and meditate.
Ling Feng sat on the futon and waited for a while, and when he saw that there was no response, he tried to shout, "Master Kong, ......"
"Master of the Void ......"
He opened his eyes and said, "The donor has something to say." ”
Ling Feng said, "Master, I thought about it all night yesterday, and I decided to listen to you. ”
Sora nodded as if he knew it beforehand.
Ling Feng knelt on the ground and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”
He shook his head and said, "Donor, please, you don't really apprentice, and the old man deserves it." With a flick of his robe's sleeves, Ling Feng felt a soft force rush in front of him, and he involuntarily stood up, as if someone had supported him.
Likong continued: "The small temple has a 'library pavilion', Shi is mainly bored, you can go to the pavilion to read. If the donor lives here and eats and drinks for nothing, and is uneasy, he can do some chores such as carrying water and firewood. Donor, please come back! ”
Ling Feng saw that the empty monk gave an eviction order, and in desperation, he walked out of the main hall with a stomach full of resentment, and said in his heart: Your grandfather's, you asked Lao Tzu to recite scriptures and learn martial arts with you, Lao Tzu agreed, and you dragged it on. Don't drive Lao Tzu away, but also Lao Tzu to read books and work. Damn, there is no place to stay here, and I won't stay with you, master!
Ling Feng thought about it, so he walked towards the gate of the temple angrily. While walking, I thought that if I went back to pack up my things, I was bumped into by the two little monks of Huijing and Huiming, and as soon as I kept myself, I would go down the slope and leave the donkey, and there was nowhere to go anyway. It's a pity that I have a bare pole commander, and I have a set of clothes all over my body, and I still send them empty, and I don't have anything long.
Ling Feng came to the temple gate after thinking wildly, and was about to step out of the temple gate with his legs raised, when suddenly a cold voice said, "Stop!" ”
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked back, but he didn't see anyone. The heart said, "Did I hear it wrong?"
As soon as he turned his head and almost bumped into a person, Ling Feng was startled, only to find a tall figure blocking the door after a moment. Ling Feng wanted to see this person's face clearly, but because he was too close, he couldn't see it clearly.
I heard the cold voice say again: "Go back!" ”
Only then did Ling Feng realize that the voice that told him to "stop" just now and the voice that said "go back" now came from this tall figure. The door was blocked, and Ling Feng had no choice but to obey the order and retreat back into the courtyard.
After distancing himself from that tall figure, Ling Feng was able to see the true face of this person's Lushan. But at first glance, Ling Feng couldn't help but gasp. I saw that this person was an old man, a few inches taller than his tall self, wearing a dark blue short shirt, with loose hair, a purple face with wrinkles, and a striking scar, and the most terrifying thing was the pair of slightly yellow eyes in the sunken eye sockets, which seemed to have no human feelings. Although this person was standing there casually, Ling Feng felt like a leopard watching next to his prey, full of explosive power, ready to rush over and attack you at any time.
Ling Feng's first reaction was that if this person was to mix in the underworld, he would definitely be a boss of the community. This person is too cool, especially the cold eyes, the arrogant and ruthless bosses I know on weekdays, compared to this person, he is like a child who has just learned to walk. Ling Feng is also a person who has seen the wind and waves, but after seeing this person's eyes, he can't help but be stunned in his heart. This fear comes from the bottom of my heart.
Ling Feng forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart, raised his voice and said, "Who are you?" ”
The old man with a scarface "snorted" and didn't answer Ling Feng, just asked coldly, "Where are you going?" ”
Ling Feng was aroused by the attitude of the old man Scarface, and asked rhetorically: "My legs are on my own body, what does it matter to you where I go?" ”
"Are you leaving?" The man's voice was still cold.
"Can't you? I didn't become a monk. ”
The old man with the scar face smiled slightly, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly when he smiled, driving the scar on his face, which looked so weird. said: "Of course not, the great monk said that you have to stay here for five years." ”
Ling Fengxin said: Isn't five years the deadline agreed between the empty and the living Buddha? How did it happen to me? Then he felt a chill in his heart and exclaimed, "What? Wouldn't I not be able to go out for five years? ”
Scarface stopped talking, as if he felt that he had said enough and didn't need to explain anything more. I saw him silently come to a pile of firewood in the courtyard, pick up the firewood knife on the ground, and chop the firewood by himself.
Ling Feng's gaze followed the old man Scarface to the pyre, looking at the old man Scarface like a monster, and the sound in his ears was "pop" ...... "pop...... The sound of a hatchet falling on a firewood. The voice had a strange rhythm, and gradually, Ling Feng suddenly had a strange feeling, that is, he could no longer feel the existence of the old man Scarface, who seemed to have become one with the surrounding environment.
Ling Feng's fear of the old man Scarface was even stronger at this time. The heart said, "Who is this old man?" Could it be that he is the subordinate that the empty monk said? The people in this place are too evil, the empty monk said that he was a murderer, and now there is such a terrifying old man, this place is simply a magic temple. It seems that this place really can't stay for a long time, it's still thirty-six plans, let's go!
Thinking of this, Ling Feng looked at the old man with Scarface and tiptoed towards the temple gate. Seeing that he had arrived at the door, Ling Feng deliberately glanced at the reaction of the old man Scarface, who didn't seem to see him, but was just concentrating on chopping wood. Ling Feng put his mind at ease, and was about to step out of the temple gate, when he ran wildly, a cold snort came, as if it sounded in his ears, shaking his ear drums. But when I looked at Scarface again, he was still chopping wood at the pyre.
