The black-robed man appeared suddenly, and more than two dozen bandits were startled, and they were all relieved to see that he was the only one.
"Isn't that small?" these people all stopped and looked at the black-robed man on the other side of the stream, this man was pale, with black hair half a foot long under his chin, and white hair on his head except for a thumb-wide hair on his ears and temples, the rest of the place was as black as ink, he looked like he was in his forties, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and his facial features were very handsome, and he must have been a beautiful man when he was young.
"You old man looks pretty decent. Even the bandit leader felt that this black-robed man was really upright. "Brothers, take him with you. Then he sent a few men to the other side of the stream.
"Wait. The person who said this turned out to be Yuan Ming, who was surrounded by bandits, and he reached out and took out a fairy crystal from his arms: "This fairy crystal will be given to you, leave quickly." Let's do some serious business in the future. ”
The bandit leader who pretended to be an injured man looked even more proud when he saw it, and stepped forward and snatched it: "Monk, you know now that it's too late to be afraid, this person is acting for you, if we kill him, this life will also be counted on your head." ”
"Ignorant fools. The handsome black-robed man on the other side of the stream said coldly: "He wanted to send you away with immortal crystals in order to save the lives of you rice buckets." Since the monk himself is willing to break the bank, you take the fairy crystal and get out of here. ”
"Hahaha....... The group of bandits laughed wildly: "Save us? After saying that, more than a dozen bandits wielded their swords and wanted to jump over the stream and pounce on the black-robed man.
The black-robed man looked disgusted: "Monk, it seems that you haven't been able to understand the temperament of these damned people for so many years. After saying that, his eyes swept over these bandits, and he coldly spat out a word in his mouth: "Death." ”
With the voice of the black-robed man, dozens of leaves fell silently from the branches behind him. Seeing that the black-robed man had any gestures, countless whistling sounds sounded in the air, and these dozens of leaves suddenly spun up, and then cut towards these bandits.
"He's a cultivator. As soon as these bandits saw this, they knew that it was not good, and threw their swords at the leaves flying in front of them, and turned their heads and ran. Several of the swords they threw collided with the leaves, and the swords made of fine iron were easily cut off by the leaves.
Dozens of leaves flew like eyes, and blood splattered on the spot when they saw these ignorant bandits. "Good, Lord Zhuo's subordinates are merciful. Yuan Ming stepped forward and stood in front of the bandits, clasped his hands together and saluted the black-robed man by the stream.
With the Yuanming salute, a glimmer of light flashed on the dozens of whistling life-seeking leaves, and then gently fell like ordinary leaves, some of which fell into the stream and went downstream, and the forest returned to calm.
The black-robed man's attack was blocked, but there was no expression on his face, his eyes looked far away with the few leaves in the stream before he retracted, looked at Yuan Ming on the other side of the stream and sighed: "Is it worth it for such a group of fools?"
Listening to his words, nostalgia appeared on Yuan Ming's face: "I haven't seen you for many years, but Lord Zhuo has always been good." The black-robed man shook his head, and said sadly: "It's not good." ”
Yuan Ming sighed lightly: "Lord Zhuo is so sad, it seems that the slender girl has not recovered yet." The black-robed man looked up to the sky and was speechless for a long time, and then smiled with a reminiscent tone: "Slender girl, I haven't heard anyone call her like this for more than ten years." ”
The two of them asked and answered like old friends, but the two dozen or so bandits behind were frightened, seeing the black-robed man's flying leaf technique, no matter how stupid these people were, they knew that this person was by no means a kind person, if it wasn't for Yuanming's shot just now, their group would have gone to see the king of Hades hand in hand.
Yuan Ming turned his head to look at them and said with a pleasant face: "You guys should leave." I also hope that all donors will take this as a warning and stop doing things that hurt nature and reason. Being genuine and doing good deeds is the way to be a person. After hearing a few random promises, the two dozen bandits turned around and ran, and in the blink of an eye they fled cleanly.
The black-robed man on the opposite side shook his head slightly, very disappreciative of Yuan Ming's words and deeds. "If this group of people harms people again, it will also be half of the credit of you, a monk. The black-robed man sneered, "It's better to let me kill it clean." ”
Yuan Ming smiled and replied: "One thought is evil, but one thought can also be good." The future will be known to a few people. The poor monks believed that they would be able to change from evil to good. ”
Looking at the impatient expression of the black-robed man, Yuan Ming smiled and asked, "Master Zhuo is going to visit friends in the Juan Hai Stream?" The black-robed man snorted coldly: "What kind of friends do you visit, how can I have any friends?" I just suddenly thought of walking around this Xuanshui area, and who knew that I would be the first to meet you, a monk who is unappetizing. ”
Yuan Ming glanced up and down at the black-robed man a few times: "It seems that Master Zhuo is still wealthy all these years. The poor monk is about to go to the relief of the victims, I wonder if the donor can donate some incense?"
When the black-robed man heard this, he reprimanded: "You monk still looks like you are asking for food for so many years, and you are asking for money when you see anyone." Is this what Kuzen Temple teaches you on weekdays?"
Yuan Ming Zhengse replied: "When you enter the bitter Zen, you feel the suffering of the world, and you want to give to others, but you never force it." The black-robed man snorted coldly: "Then why do you ask me for incense every time you see me." ”
Yuan Ming replied: "Lord Zhuo has always been a good way to make money in the future, and he is generous, but now there are many disasters and little food, and the more he helps others, the better." The black-robed man shook his head: "I have Xianjing, but it's none of my business whether those people die or not." ”
Yuan Ming persuaded: "Lord Zhuo's words are exaggerated, all living beings in the world are born together, don't say that they are born together, even if they are not of my race, they can't stand idly by." ”
The black-robed man snorted: "Monk, I ask you something, and if I am satisfied, I will give it to you." Yuan Ming smiled: "Master Zhuo has something to ask, Yuan Ming knows everything." But giving is all based on one's own heart, and there is no exchange. ”
The black-robed man smiled: "Okay, I'll ask in vain." Monks, most of the people in this world are greedy for life and afraid of death, lazy in temperament, and there are many lustful and wealthy, and they forget their righteousness when they see profit. It's not too much to kill all of these people, why did you save one after another? ”
Yuan Ming replied: "If there are no mortals, how can there be saints, the fate is different, but it is not the fault of people, if Lord Zhuo was not raised and preached by the predecessors of Dehai back then, how could he not be an orphan?"
Hearing Yuan Ming's words, the black-robed man was speechless for a while. He was indeed picked up by the Haidao people who trickled the sea when he was a child, but he had a very high level of understanding, and he cultivated the holy water trick at the age of fifteen.
The black-robed man nodded: "Zhuo Mou is indeed a lonely background, and he has been nurtured and guided by his teacher in his heart, monk, what you said is good, if there is no teacher, Zhuo Mou will definitely not have today's achievements, but Zhuo Mou has worked hard since he was the governor, and he will not retreat in the face of difficulties, even if he does not have this opportunity, he will be able to support himself and not fall behind." ”
Yuan Ming agreed: "This nature, humane sand does not hide gold, Zhuo Shi's main heart is resolute, and it is indeed beyond the reach of people." But all kinds of things in the world, each performing its own duties, are indispensable. It's actually hard to be a mediocre. ”
The black-robed man smiled and said: "It makes sense, but a monk, who is born as a human being, should be rewarded with a spring for the grace of dripping water." Since the establishment of the Kuzen Temple, the kindness to the world is not limited to the rivers and seas, so it is difficult for the world to repay even the water of the world. But why are you still so poor that you don't have enough to eat? ”
Yuan Ming replied: "Although I don't want to repay my kindness, over the years, many people have given Kuzen with wealth and goods. If the land in the courtyard is only for food and clothing, there is a lot leftover, and all of them are used for relief. ”
The black-robed man asked sarcastically: "When I was still in the first class in Juanhai, there were also many monks in the Kuzen Monastery walking on the five mysteries, and there were dozens of people in your Yuanzi generation alone, why are you just wandering outside, and the other monks are eating idle meals at home?"
Yuan Ming's face, which had been smiling, was finally a little moved: "Of the seventy-two monks with round characters, there are only twenty-three now, and the rest of the fellow disciples have passed away." ”
The black-robed man suddenly lost a smile on his face: "What, it's impossible, haven't you heard that so many people have died?" Yuan Ming replied with compassion: "It's all about the past ten years, of course Lord Zhuo doesn't know." ”
The black-robed man asked in surprise: "Is it because you have contracted some evil disease in Zen? That's not right, you monks all practice Zen and your cultivation is not low, why have so many people died in the past ten years." ”
Yuan Ming replied: "Only one of his classmates died of illness, and the rest died in Jishi." The black-robed man still didn't understand: "Why don't you just put a porridge and give out some clothes, how can you still die?" ”
Yuan Ming was silent for a moment: "Some were injured by natural disasters in saving people, some were injured by beast tides, and some were harmed by people. The black-robed man said angrily: "Who even killed the Kuzen monk? Who else are you going to save, I will say that they will all die cleanly." ”
Yuan Ming's calm voice was a little high: "Master Zhuo, every time there is a catastrophe, we are all dedicated to helping, there are indeed cold bystanders, there are those who fall into the well, and there are those who rob while the fire is burning, if we are as Zhuo Shizhu thinks, then the Kuzen Temple will not exist for a long time." ”
"Fifteen years ago, when the Han River was flooded, dozens of my brothers and sisters took turns holding hands in the downstream to block the water, and their strength was exhausted. Several senior brothers passed away in the boundless flood, and there were those who coveted my bitter meditation tools, not only did not help, but instead attacked us when we were in danger, that year, it was the first time since the establishment of my bitter meditation institute that twenty-five senior brothers passed away in disaster relief. ”
Yuan Ming recalled the past, and his face was a little sad: "Master Zhuo, although I didn't say it at the time, my heart was just like you now, full of injustice, and Senior Brother Yuan Xuan was sad at that time, and he died of depression after a serious illness. But what Master said in the temple that day is still ringing in my ears. ”
"We should continue to help the world and save people, and the more people in the world know the wish of suffering and Zen, the more people will be willing, clinging to kindness in their hearts, and proclaiming kindness in their mouths. At that time, Senior Brother Yuanxin was young and vigorous, standing in the hall and shouting loudly, I am afraid that the people of the world have not yet known the wish of bitter Zen, and we will let these greedy people kill them all. ”
The black-robed man looked sideways and asked, "What does the Wusheng monk say?" The expression on Yuan Ming's face gradually calmed down: "If the people of the world take bitter Zen as a blessing, then they will not be worried, and if the world takes bitter Zen as a disaster, then what does it matter?
"Pedantic opinion. Wait until people come to kill you? You should kill them all first. Listening to the words of the black-robed man, Yuan Ming asked: "Have you ever thought about it, if it weren't for the fact that the donor was famous back then, how could those people join forces to attack you? ”
The black-robed man shouted: "Fart, if I wanted to kill them, I would have killed them a long time ago, and now I only hate that I didn't kill those guys earlier, so I ended up like this." ”
Yuan Ming said: "Master Zhuo, even if you kill them earlier, someone will still come to you for revenge, have you ever thought about what will happen to your family after a hundred years? ”
The black-robed man said with a cold face: "What's the use of talking about this now? If Xian Xian can wake up, let alone not kill people, you can let me be a monk." ”
Yuan Ming sighed: "Zhuo Shisheng is too obsessed. The slender girl will be able to wake up. Speaking of the past, the black-robed man was a little irritable: "Don't talk about these unpleasant things, let me ask you again, who has heard of the method of recovering the soul over the years?"
"I have never heard of it, there are very few practitioners of the soul method, and as for those who can return the soul, it is even more unheard of. Yuan Ming shook his head slightly.
The black-robed man snorted coldly, turned around and left. Yuan Ming persuaded: "Zhuo donor, plant cause and effect, get fruit and produce cause, cause and effect cycle, endlessly, if the donor is widely giving, one day, you can get good results." ”
The black-robed man stopped and sneered: "Monk, you are a good person, but do you really believe in cause and effect? Don't say it's me, just say that those monks who died in vain in your Kuzen Monastery, where is their cause and effect." ”
Yuan Ming replied: "Peace in my heart, what fear of death, bitterness in my chest, and joy in life." Master often said that as a human being, one should not be greedy for life or death, and the cause and effect of each person cannot be guessed by Yuanming. “
The black-robed man raised his feet and left, and his voice came clearly: "I really don't believe it, you can think about everything so openly?" ”
In the distance, I heard the black-robed man snort: "Do you want money from anyone you see, or do you only want me?" Yuan Ming looked in his direction and said: "The poor monk has only opened his mouth to ask for incense three times so far, but twice he has opened his mouth to Lord Zhuo. ”
The black-robed man sighed lightly, obviously a little surprised: "I accept that you value it so much, let's take this to save you from suffering." With that, a bright light flew out of the forest, and his voice followed: "The world is so big, how many have you saved." ”
The sleeves of Yuanming's robe rolled up the bright light: "If you save a few people, you will save a few people." The black-robed man sighed, his voice almost inaudible: "Goodbye." Yuan Ming bowed his head as a salute: "Thank you, donor." ”
After the black-robed man disappeared, Yuan Ming stood still for a moment, then turned around and asked, "What are you doing here?" Cowering from the bushes behind him, a ragged man emerged, who was the bandit leader who pretended to be injured just now.
"The master's life-saving grace, the villains can't repay it, they just ran too fast, and forgot to return this fairy crystal to the master. The ragged man was holding a piece of low-grade immortal crystal in his hand, which was the one that Yuanming had just given him. "Our brother has just discussed, and he will definitely change his mind in the future. ”
Looking at the sincere appearance of the man in rags, Yuan Ming nodded slightly, took the fairy crystal from the man's hand, and took out a round crystal the size of an egg from the sleeve of his robe and put it in his arms together.
"It's ...... The man in tattered clothes came back for a while, but he was afraid that the black-robed man would not dare to come out, and the conversation between the two was faintly heard. He also knew the goods, and at a glance he recognized that the black-robed man finally threw Yuan Ming a top-grade immortal crystal worth hundreds of millions of silver taels.
Looking at the top-grade immortal crystal that emitted a faint halo in Yuan Ming's hand, the man in rags had no intention of snatching it in his heart, but he couldn't help asking: "Master, who was that person just now, who gave you a piece of top-grade immortal crystal?"
Yuan Ming looked at the direction where the black-robed man disappeared as if reminiscing about the past, and sighed for a long time: "Now he is just a sad person. ”
Lingxiao has many happy events, not only the northeast end of the Xuanmu Domain is under control, but also the alliance with the Red Maple Sect, although only a few people know about the opening of trade routes, but everyone on the mountain feels that Lingxiao is very different now.
Lu Wanchen stayed in Lingxiao for three days and left, but there were more and more guests in Lingxiao, and the large and small sects of the surrounding cities came to visit for various reasons. Visitors are almost always people who are in charge of the door. Even the Ling family of Lingyun City, who was arrogant and domineering in front of the underground palace that day, the Danxin Pavilion of Zhuhua City, and the rudder of Xuanmu Four Saints Guizhu Mountain, Miaozhu Hall, also sent people to congratulate.
In the Yang Xian Hall, after Shu Jiuling's eyes tried Wu Zongting's various treatments, he could finally see something vaguely, although he couldn't even see the people in front of him clearly, it was much better than before.
Uncle Jiuling, who was in a good mood, had to take a few hexagrams every day, but he stopped moving after he threw out the bone fragments that day. Wu Zongting, who was beside him, saw that his expression was different, so he leaned in and took a few looks.
"The hexagram of the whole yang?" Wu Zongting also knew some hexagrams, and saw the position of a few bones and said softly: "The yang of the yang, the strongest of the strong, and the momentum of sharp progress is unstoppable." Is this hexagram for my soul?"
Shu Jiuling was silent, picked up the bone fragment, and thought about throwing it again. Wu Zongting said with a smile: "Uncle and junior brother, what is this hexagram asking?" looked at the direction of the bone fragment, but his expression changed.
"The hexagram of the whole yin? Carry a heavy burden at night, and the road ahead is endless. Why did this hexagram come about?" Wu Zongting muttered in a low voice and was heard by the elders around him, Li Mengshan shook his head and said: "This thing is all up to everyone's heart, and all yin is not necessarily a bad thing. ”
Shu Jiuling picked up the bone line, hesitated for a moment and invested it again, but it turned out to be a hexagram full yang, and then it was all yin. Some people may not be able to cast this all-yin and all-yang hexagram in their lifetime, but in just a few breaths, there are two hexagrams each.
"Yin, Yang and Yang, there is no interlacing, what does this mean?" Turning his head to look at Wu Zongting, he asked, "Senior Brother Wu, it would be fine if I asked something, but I just threw out these hexagrams casually, and I didn't ask any questions." ”
Sheng Jin and Li Mengshan asked in unison: "What is the hexagram of no question?" Shu Jiuling stared at the bones on the ground and did not speak, Wu Zongting said slowly: "The hexagram of no question is the most unpredictable hexagram in the hexagram, regardless of any blessing or misfortune, everything only depends on the heavens." ”
"Whoever asks about things, you can only make one hexagram a day. The hexagram without asking questions can be determined at will, and there are many more than one. However, the hexagram of the whole yang is the prosperous pole of the straight pole, and the hexagram of the whole yin is the reverse pole and the defeat pole, both of which are rare to see, but today they appear again and again in the hexagram of no questions. ”
Li Mengshan smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Senior Brother Wu, don't scare me, we all got injured as soon as we came out of the back mountain." Now the situation is very good. I was thinking that I was about to live a good life and enjoy leisurely happiness, and you came up with this nonsense. ”
"If what this unasked hexagram says is true, such ups and downs are definitely beyond the reach of my Lingxiao lineage. Uncle Jiuling put the bone into his arms: "All yin and all yang, born or destroyed, the only thing in the world that can withstand such a toss is this heaven and earth." ”
Sheng Jin said with a smile: "Senior brother, the more you talk about it, the more mysterious you are, the hexagram is not accurate in measuring people, let alone this world." He looked at Wu Zongting and Shu Jiuling and said with a smile: "The two senior brothers don't have to worry about themselves, let's wait for dinner with peace of mind." ”
As soon as his words fell, Zhang Zhao pushed the door with the food box and entered, and the elders immediately laughed: "It seems that the hexagram of the grand head is still accurate." ”
Zhang Zhao was laughed inexplicably by everyone, and after careful questioning, he learned that Uncle Jiuling had just come out with a few strange hexagrams. Zhang Zhao often speculates about the direction of Shu Jiuling's bones on weekdays, but he can't make all the directions of several bones in the same way as all yang and all yin in his mind.
Li Mengshan didn't care about the hexagrams, and after eating the food in the bowl in a few bites, he shouted: "Zhang Zhao, you can find some needles." I'm almost healed from my injuries, so let's go fishing at the lake from tomorrow. He looked at the elders and shouted, "Let's all go and have fun, we are bored in this house every day, and we are annoyed to death." ”
The next day, Zhang Zhao took some needles, and Li Mengshan used his fingers to bend the thin needles into hooks, and then called for everyone to go to the lake with him to play.
Except for Gao Yongming and Qi Yaonan, the rest of the elders did not follow either with limited mobility or self-respect. That night, after listening to Zhang Zhao's excited talk about the fishing process, Sheng Jin was moved, looking at his one-legged but sighing deeply.
Zhang Zhao saw his thoughts and sharpened a cane and sent it. Sheng Jin finally followed him to the lake, and after he came back to preach, even Leng Pingyuan walked out of the hall door with the help of Li Mengshan.
A few days later, after breakfast, the elders poured to the lake to take up a place and sat cross-legged with a fishing rod in hand. Although Uncle Jiuling Wu Zongting didn't fish, he also came out to sit under the trees by the lake and chat.
The bald Qi Yaonan is quite anxious, and every time the rod is cast, it is mentioned for a moment, except for Wu Zongting and Shu Jiuling, who have never fished, he is the only one among the elders who still has nothing to find these days.
"I don't believe it. Qi Yaonan saw that everyone around him caught a big fish from the lake every once in a while, and his heart was even more angry. When he lifted the rod again, he had an idea, and he threw himself into the water again without even letting go of the bait.
Sheng Jin had just mentioned a big fish, and was seeing his actions: "Old Qi, what are you doing here?" Qi Yaonan mentioned the fishing rod and laughed: "I don't believe that a fish can't be caught." ”
