Su Han Chapter (1)
Su Han Fanwai (1)
My name is Luo, and I am a little monk in Chenxing Kingdom.
I have been with my master since I was a child, and my parents are said to have died in the war, and for as long as I can remember, I have lived in the temple next to the Star Kingdom. Practice with the master and brother.
Our temple is not big, and it is even a little dilapidated.
Next door to us, there is the Dajue Temple where the incense is at its peak. But in our temple, there are only three people, me, master, and senior brother. As for incense, it goes without saying, it's basically non-existent.
I once wondered if the master who didn't go to the fate of the master who recited the scriptures all day long was a fairy, how could he do nothing, there would be all kinds of food in the kitchen, but later I learned that the master was not a fairy.
He is just an ordinary old man, and the reason why this temple can exist is because he once saved the lord of the country of the stars by mistake when he was young.
When the lord asked him what he wanted, he did not ask for any gold or silver treasures, but for the temple and his daily supplies of food and clothing.
I asked my brother, is the master doing this because he is not greedy for money? After all, we are all monks, and the only god in our hearts is the Buddha.
However, the senior brother was very disgusted and knocked my head with a wooden fish, and there seemed to be some disdain in his eyes.
"Senior brother, why are you so stupid!"
"Master is smart, think about it, if you want a bunch of treasures, the master's three-legged cat kung fu will either be killed by someone for money, or he will die before he can receive it."
"But if you only have food, then first, it will make people think that he is very noble, and second, he can still have a place to settle in this capital, he doesn't have to do anything, someone can send food, the things sent by the royal family, that is, no matter how garbage it is, it is better than us going to those ordinary people to give alms, right?"
The senior brother said this in a loud voice, and he didn't even shy away from the master.
I gave him a look several times, but he was very calm, didn't even look at me, and still said very loudly, if he had a tail, he must go to the sky.
But the master was very calm, as if he hadn't heard, he still ate and drank, and then practiced me and my senior brother.
I don't know what the little monks do in other temples, but this one is probably the strangest in our temple.
The Dajue Temple next door had already finished the morning class and rang the bell, and we were here, and the master and brother slowly got up from the bed.
And the weirdest thing is that every time the food delivered from the palace is ready, the master has to ask me to sell those meals to the gluttonous old abbot next door, and then I will buy vegetables to make one.
The senior brother said that the master was changing the price difference and wanted to save money secretly.
But I felt that the master was preparing for a rainy day, and there must be some terrible secret hidden in those eyes that were always dozing.
In this way, I grew to 16 years old, with a master of 80 and a brother of 30.
The king of the palace died of illness, and the new king took office, and directly cut off our supply.
I began to panic, knowing that the old abbot next door had always coveted our land, and now there was no one to protect him.
Then they will bully us if they don't hurry up!
I told my senior brother my thoughts, thinking that the master was already that old after all, and he should find the senior brother to call the shots for anything! But I didn't expect him to despise me again! To put it bluntly, I'm really thinking too much, and it's getting more and more unreliable.
I was helpless, and I didn't know what else I could say.
I simply squatted in the firewood room in a daze, with a purple ring on my finger, which is said to have been left by my parents.
The gem on it was so large that I usually wrap my whole finger around it with a cloth to pretend that I am disabled and save people's attention.
But now, thinking of this, I stretched out my hand and prepared to remove the gauze and take off the ring to sell it for money.
Since the senior brother can't count on it, he can only count on himself, and he can't, let the master who has already stepped into death half a step turn into fate again.
But I didn't expect that my finger had just touched the edge of the ring.
A figure suddenly appeared beside me like a ghost, and in the darkness, I only saw the gray beard, long dragging on the ground, so that it was not scary.
"Masterโ" I felt my voice trembling, and I didn't care about whether to get any rings or not, so I hurriedly got up from the ground, and groped beside me, trying to light the candle.
But in the darkness, an old bark-like finger had pinched my arm, and I suddenly found that I could not move.
"Master, you..."
"Arlo, don't be afraid! It's for the teacher! The master said very calmly, the messy beard kept shaking as he spoke, and from time to time it dangled in front of me, and the firewood room was originally dark, and he was still trembling.
The black shadows are particularly dazzling in the moonlight!
"Master, you... Let's talk about whether we can turn on the lights! "I'm not afraid! It's really bad to talk like this!
But in the dark, he rejected me directly and shook his head very decisively.
"No, my apprentice, don't you think, is there a sense of meaning in this way!"
"Besides, what I will say to you below can only be said in this darkness!"
Speaking in the dark? I was inexplicably nervous! My mind automatically makes up strange pictures, for example, in those Zhiwei novels that my senior brother showed me, the monks in them are all masters, and all of them can subdue demons and eliminate demons!
Or, many concubines, because they gave birth to a son, and then were afraid of being assassinated by the queen or other women, so they threw their children outside, or adopted them by an old monk.
Isn't it, I'm an identity, but it's not that simple, it's a prince who is down in the world! In that case, do I have to ...
Forget it, even if I am a prince, I will not be able to overthrow the current emperor. My brother is right, I am a person who has no big ambitions, I just want to live my life quietly and purely.
I was in my head for a while, but the reality was extremely bleak.
The master patted me on the head with the usual tricks of my senior brother, and then said, "Ah Luo, the world will be in chaos soon, and many people will die by then..."
Chaos in the world?
Is the next sentence that I'm going to save the world?
"So, we're going to run..."
Escape? That's really in line with the master's painting style.,It's just that he's this age.,How can I escape...
"But," said the old man, again.
Here's the twist! The secret is about to be revealed! My heart was pounding.
"But what?"
"But you can't go with us, you're going where you need to go..."
"Where to go?"
"Go save someone..."
"Who?" Is it the king? Then, like the master, it seems good to ask for a temple and then find a long-term free meal ticket. Alas, I was so easily satisfied.
"A..."The master who has always been articulate suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking, and like he was amnesiac again, after all, he was so old, and I could understand that he forgot some things. I didn't rush him, and waited patiently.
It wasn't until dawn that my legs were sore after standing all night.
He spit out the last few words: "A woman..."
When I wanted to ask him a few more questions, he rolled his eyes and fell asleep. I cautiously probed the tip of his nose with my fingers, but fortunately, he was still angry, so I was relieved.
I told my brother what my master had told me.
I thought he would taunt me first, and then taunt the master as usual. However, he was more serious than ever, and suddenly patted me on the shoulder, and then returned to his room in my daze, and in a short time came out again with a huge baggage.
"Senior brother, over the years, senior brother has bullied you a lot, and these are the compensation for you at that time!"
"Compensation?" I stared at the burden blankly, I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, and I reached out to open the burden, but he held it down. directly threw me a cruel sentence: "If you still recognize me as a senior brother, don't open it here." โ
I was stunned, and then quickly took my hand back.
How could I not recognize my senior brother and master, they are the closest people to me in this world, seeing that I obediently took my hand back, my senior brother suddenly smiled.
The corners of his mouth are crooked, and his eyes are clear, and he doesn't have the usual obscene atmosphere at all.
Even the oily and shiny head that has not been washed for many years has a very holy light at the moment, I think I must be delusional...
"Alright. You go, Master and I are also going to leave here, if there is fate, we will meet again, if there is no fate, then we will never see each other! โ
After the senior brother finished speaking, he actually picked me up directly, and stopped the carriage of Lao Wang next door to go out of the city to buy goods at the door, and threw me directly in.
I stared blankly at his bright head, which disappeared little by little in front of my eyes, and I was very reluctant in my heart, I wanted to go back, but the senior brother's eyes were stern over there.
I had no choice but to hold on to my burden, and gradually looked at the small temple where I had stayed for more than ten years, and gradually erased it from my eyes.
The old king put me outside the city gate and left, I hugged the huge burden given to me by my senior brother, squatted on the edge of the dusk ancient road, crying like a fool.
I wanted to go back, but the gates were closed when the time came.
I had no choice but to continue standing, and directly opened the burden that my brother gave me, and in it, there were several sets of clean robes, if I remember correctly, a few of them were Master's, and they were still many years ago, but they were really new.
Inside the robe was a thick stack of silver tickets.
I stared blankly at the silver ticket, and was about to check the bibliography, when suddenly, a fire broke out on the mountain peak in the distance.
