Chapter 380: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
At this time, Shenhui no longer had the demeanor of the abbot of the Puhui Temple earlier.
He stared at the monk in front of him, but the monk had a peaceful smile on his face and an indifferent expression.
Shenhui smiled bitterly in his heart and sighed secretly. If, if he was still the abbot of Puhui Temple, how could this monk look like this? Shenhui knew very well in his heart that the incense of Puhui Temple had been vigorous in recent years, and he had forced the temples near Changzhou to be ruthless...... If it weren't for the gold lord behind him to arrange him in Lingbao Temple, I'm afraid this monk wouldn't have taken him in at all. Now I am really a phoenix in the water is not as good as a chicken!
"Elder Zhiji is good, and the poor monk is in his heart.
Now that Di Guangyuan is aggressive, and it is indeed not safe for the poor monk to hide here. However, I wonder how Elder Zhiji plans to send me away?"
Elder Zhiji, that is, the middle-aged monk, immediately laughed when he heard this.
He looked at Shen Hui and said, "Elder, don't worry, the Lord has already made arrangements for this matter! Although the Changzhou County Decree wants to blockade Taihu Lake, it will take a few days to transfer troops and horses. The lake is safe now, especially after dark, and there are basically no obstacles...... The poor monk prepared a small boat and anchored it in the bay of the back mountain. When the time comes, the elders can take advantage of the night to quietly leave Baoshan and go straight to Dongting Township...... Elder Dreadnought also got the news and prepared to greet the elder. ”
At this point, Shenhui no longer had a reason to refuse.
He smiled wryly, nodded, and closed his eyes.
And the monk Zhiji saw that he had no objection, and he was relieved. To be honest, if it weren't for the orders from above, Monk Zhiji really didn't want to take in Shenhui. After all, Shenhui is now guilty of something, and the Levy Lang who captured him is said to be very favored. Although it was only a small expedition, it made his lord feel a little embarrassed.
Shenhui left Baoshan, and Lingbao Temple was still a pure land.
Otherwise, it will be discovered by that Zhengshilang, and when the time comes, he will be angry with Lingbao Temple...... Monk Zhiji believed that the Lord would probably not stand up for him.
It's best if Shenhui is willing to leave, so that he won't have to worry about it anymore!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Time. Fly by.
After nightfall, Lingbao Temple also fell silent.
Shenhui slept for an afternoon and woke up before dark.
In fact, the monks of Lingbao Temple are very strict in their practice. There is only one meal a day, and there is no dinner. However, in order to send Shen Hui off, the monk still ordered someone to prepare dinner for Shen Hui to eat. lest he change his mind again.
This also made Shenhui feel inexplicably helpless......
When did I become a character like a dead star?
However, although he was dissatisfied, he was very calm.
After dinner, Shen Hui recited Buddha and Zen meditation in the meditation room alone, and it was not until the time of the Heavenly General that the monk Zhiji sent someone to invite him.
"Elder, the wind is calm outside, the boat is ready, I wish the elder a smooth journey. ”
The mountain behind Lingbao Temple is silent.
The monk Zhiji stands in front of the mountain gate. Didn't even let people light up.
Fortunately, the moonlight is bright tonight, and it will not be blind in the dark.
Shen Hui Ji said, "In the past few days, thanks to the elders, the poor monks are grateful. If it's fate, we'll see you soon. ”
"Elder is polite, please hurry up and get on your way. ”
As he spoke, Zhiji stretched out his hand and summoned a young monk, "Jueming, you can give the elder a ride on my behalf." ”
The little monk obeyed. ”
The monk named Jueming stepped forward and bowed to Shen Hui. "Elder, please come with me. ”
He held a wooden stick the size of an arm's arm in his hand and led the way in front. Shenhui is no longer polite, and once again argues with the monk Zhiji. Then he followed closely behind Jueming, walked along the rugged mountain road behind the mountain, and soon disappeared into the bend of the mountain road.
Monk Jueming walked very fast, as if he knew the mountain road well.
Shen Hui was able to keep up at first, but after walking for a while, he gradually fell behind. After all. This mountain road is not the same as the usual road, Jueming has been walking in the mountains all the year round, and he is naturally familiar with the path, but Shenhui is very unfamiliar.
"Jueming, wait for me. ”
Shenhui finally couldn't bear it anymore and called out to Jueming, who was walking in front.
Na Jueming stopped, saw Shenhui staggering, and hurriedly walked over and grabbed Shenhui's arm.
"Elder, after descending this mountain beam, you will reach the lake, and I will help you go. ”
"Thank you so much!"
With Jueming's support, Shenhui walked a lot easier.
The two walked along the mountain road and talked as they spoke. Shenhui has been hiding in the temple these days, and he doesn't know much about the situation outside, so he asked Jueming about it. It's just that this mountain is in the lake, and the information is not very smooth.
Although Lingbao Temple has those fishermen at the foot of the mountain to inquire about the news for them, how can a group of fishermen know too many things.
"Jueming, listening to the accent, you don't seem to be from Wu County. ”
"Back to the elders, the little monk is from Minzhou, not a local...... In the early years, there was a disaster in his hometown, and the little monk came to Wu County with his relatives. Later, when his parents died, the little monk escaped into the empty door. ”
"In this way, you haven't been in Wu County for long. ”
"Counting the days, the little monk has been in Lingbao Temple for three years...... In fact, the little monk has heard the name of the elder for a long time, but Lingbao Temple is not better than Puhui Temple, so although he has admiration, what can he do...... Hehe, I can do things for the elders today, and the little monk is also very happy. ”
Shen Hui listened, and his eyes rolled.
He went to Dongting Township, alone, and it was inevitable that he would be weak.
Whether it is a fearless Zen master or an honest plan, there are many people. When he gets there, he will inevitably be suppressed. This Jue Ming is not weak, but he is a good helper.
Thinking of this, Shenhui had an idea, so he smiled and said, "Jueming, the poor monk sees that you also have some skills, but you are hiding in this Lingbao Temple, I am afraid it will be difficult to get ahead." Elder Zhiji and poor monks also admired him very much, but he was indifferent by nature and was not good at arguing with others. Otherwise, with his Buddhism, he can at least make Lingbao Temple and Puhui Temple equal. It's a pity......
Jueming, if you want to get ahead, it's better to go with the poor monks.
Although the poor monk is in trouble now, he has the help of nobles, and he can make a comeback sooner or later. If you want, follow the poor monks. He will ensure that you are prosperous and rich, and it will not be a problem. ”
Jue Ming's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard it.
However, he immediately showed a look of embarrassment and seemed very entangled.
"The elder Dharma is profound, and the little monk is also extremely admired.
However, Elder Zhiji took in the little monk when it was the most difficult, and if he left with the elder. Doesn't that make Elder Zhiji sad?"
Shenhui was overjoyed, but there was no emotion on his face.
"Jueming, do you think Elder Zhiji can value you?"
"Huh?"
"Although the poor monk is not long in Lingbao Temple, he can see it. Elder Zhiji prefers the Juehai monk next to him, right?"
Jueming's face was a little gloomy.
"Senior Brother Juehai is a precept monk, who has received full ordination as early as ten years ago, and is a proud disciple of the elder. ”
"That's it...... Enlightenment. You have ** in your heart, which is almost contrary to the Dharma held by Elder Chi Chi. What can you do if you stay in Lingbao Temple? Not to mention that Elder Zhiji is still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if he becomes a Buddha one day, he will not be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If there is a sea monk, you will have no future, but it is better to fight with the poor monk.
As for Elder Zhiji's side, the poor monk will explain the situation to him so that he doesn't blame you. ”
The ** in people's hearts is always elusive.
After practicing in Lingbao Temple for three years, Monk Jueming can still suppress it. But being teased by Shenhui like this, I suddenly thought about it.
"We're almost there, you'd better make a decision sooner. ”
There is a hidden bay in the mountain behind Baoshan Island, which is impossible to detect unless you are a local.
In the distance, he could already hear the sound of the lake, Jueming gritted his teeth and said softly, "That little monk will listen to the elder's teachings and fight with the elder." ”
"Hey, smart!"
The two of them talked. From a trail to the lake.
A small boat was moored on the shore, and the fisherman on the boat saw Jueming and the two of them, and hurriedly waved and shouted.
"Saburo. Thank you for your hard work today!"
Jue Ming recognized the fisherman, who was a villager from the fishing village in front of the mountain, and hurriedly greeted him and motioned for the other party to come over.
San Lang hurriedly disembarked and helped Shenhui onto the boat with Jueming, "Elder." Let's go...... Elder Zhiji said, send the elder to Penglai. Let's set off now, and it is estimated that we will arrive in Penglai by noon tomorrow. ”
The Penglai in the fisherman's mouth is the 'Dongting Township' that the Zhiji monk said.
Shenhui nodded and said, "There is a labor almsman, let's set off as soon as possible." ”
"Elder, sit tight!"
As the fisherman spoke, he poked his penny hard against the reef on the shore, and the boat slowly sailed into the lake along the narrow channel that was only two meters wide.
A bright moon hangs high, and the moonlight shines on the lake, but it is sparkling.
At this moment, Taihu Lake has fallen silent, and there are almost no people on the lake.
When the boat entered the lake, the fisherman changed into oars.
"Saburo is the best fisherman in Baoshan, and his boat is fast. ”
Jueming introduced to Shenhui, and then said to San Lang, "San Lang, let's hurry up, the elder has something urgent." ”
The fisherman smiled and said, "Elder, don't worry, the villain will definitely do his best." ”
After Shenhui got on the boat, he was silent.
For some reason, he had a bad premonition in his heart, as if something was going to happen.
However, looking at the empty lake, Shenhui was relieved again. He sat on the boat, his mind a little confused...... It's all to blame for being fearless, so good that he ambushed Yang Shouwen, so that he is now in danger. It was also the fearless man who supported him, if it wasn't for the help of 'Su Wei', how could he have ended up in such a field? The Lord must have too much trust in his brother!
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.
I have already made up my mind that after arriving in Dongting Township, I will definitely report this matter.
Because of a fearless, but the Puhui Temple that he has worked hard to run for many years was destroyed, how could Shenhui not be angry?
"Elder, after crossing the bend in front, it belongs to Wucheng. ”
Just when Shenhui was restless, the fisherman Saburo suddenly spoke.
"Oh?"
When Shen Hui heard this, he retracted his mind and raised his eyes to look ahead.
A black, oppressive reed swings...... For some reason, in Shenhui's eyes, this reed seemed to turn into a black cloud and was pressing down on him.
"Jueming, go back!"
"Huh?"
Jue Ming was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Shen Hui suspiciously.
However, before he could speak, he suddenly heard a trumpet sound from the reeds.
Immediately after, a monstrous warship burst out of the reeds, and the warship was brightly lit, illuminating the surface of the lake.
On the bow deck, a middle-aged man stood with a sword in his hand and shouted, "Demon monk Shenhui, this county has known that you will pass through this waterway, and has been waiting for a long time! Surrender immediately, spare your life! If not, don't blame this county for being ruthless...... )
PS The trivial matter ended smoothly and returned to freedom.
I wanted to resume the update yesterday, but I ended up drinking a lot of wine on the night of the 29th, and I was dizzy yesterday.
The whole person is much more relaxed, and I feel that my state is also recovering.
Thank you for waiting! From now on, Lao Xin will work hard to code words without distractions......
