Chapter 25: Becoming a monk
Bai Youshan has been learning the art of insect Gu with his teacher since he was a child, he has a single vein and a single transmission, after the death of his teacher, he taught him the ancestral book "Gu Silkworm Sutra" in the hope that he can pass on the secret art of this sect, and must not be used to do evil and harm others, Bai Youshan respectfully obeys the teacher's instructions, and has been concentrating on studying the art of "Gu Silkworm Sutra", and uses Gu art to treat various diseases.

Like the neighbors in the mountains who have a major illness or a small disaster, they usually come to him, and after a long time, those who are far away will also come to seek medical treatment, and over time, Bai Youshan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and his insect Gu technique has also become his money-making capital.
Once people are confused by money, they will forget a lot of things, or deliberately escape, Bai Youshan is, in order to accumulate more wealth, he will forget the teacher's entrustment to the point of not leaving ten, "Gu Silkworm Sutra" has strict requirements for generations, in addition to talent and intelligence, character is also the top priority, what I am afraid of is that people with evil hearts will harm others if they learn it.
Bai Youshan privately taught the "Gu Silkworm Sutra" to his beloved son Bai Chop, only hoping that he could rely on it, inherit the tradition, and carry forward the Bai family, but ignored the essence of human beings, good and evil.
Bai Chop has done a lot of bad things after learning the "Gu Silkworm Sutra", and Bai Youshan also knows some of them, but after all, he is his own son, so he protects him more, plus the relationship is relatively large, many things are easy to suppress, and Bai Chop has not done anything too out of the ordinary.
This time Su Damu's incident is an exception, which Bai Youshan didn't expect, and he is glad that Bai Shu didn't learn much, otherwise Su Damu might have died at this time.
And the Soul Devouring Gu is one of the most stringent Gu techniques in the "Gu Silkworm Sutra", people with improper mental skills are rigorously cultivated, and they don't know how to get Bai Chop, fortunately, they were discovered early, otherwise Su Damu would have been out of this world a long time ago.
Once the Soul Eater Gu is cultivated, it will form a similar telepathy with the Gu Master, which is why he appeared in the courtyard as soon as we took out the bamboo tube.
According to Bai Youshan, he had refined a total of three Soul Eater Gu, and they had always been kept in the safe in the bedroom, and he didn't know how Bai Slash took them, so he said that he would strictly discipline them in the future.
After that, he said that he would personally go to the Surdan's house to apologize another day, and he would never let such a thing happen again, Dao Quanzi and I nodded after listening to his story, I thought to myself, this Bai Youshan is really worthy of the head of the family, and it is happy to talk and do things, Dao Quanzi nodded after drinking tea.
"Patriarch Bai said this, I am relieved, and I hope to collect the Soul Devouring Gu, this kind of thing must not fall into the hands of villains, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, then I will thank Brother Su here first, it's nothing, and we will leave."
After a few more polite words, Dao Quanzi and I left Bai Wa Village, and on the way Dao Quanzi said to me: "What do you think of Bai Youshan?" ”。
"It's pretty good, it's more sensible, why are you asking this?"
Dao Quanzi smiled, "Reasonable? If only this were the case, I don't think things would be so easy."
"What does this mean? Could he still go back on his word and lie to us? ”。
"He also said that the Soul Devouring Gu has a secret sense with him, if this is the case, it is impossible for him not to know when he steals it for nothing, what integrity does a person who is blinded by money have, it seems that he has to go back to the Su family."
When it was almost dark, the two of us returned to Surdan's house, and told us about the matter in Bai Wa Village, and specially told his family to be careful of the Bai family, not to grudge with the Bai family, and it would only be himself who would suffer.
Dao Quanzi left a small gray cloth bag, I don't know what it contains, maybe it's some kind of rune paper or something, I think so, after explaining that it's already dark, there is no way for the two of us to stay overnight, and the next day just after dawn got up and left Hani Village.
Walked more than 20 miles of mountain roads, and took a flatbed car to Kaiyuan, and then transferred to the train and went straight to Henan, fortunately there were two experiences, and the head was not so dizzy when I got off in Zhengzhou.
In Zhengzhou is to take care of me also played for a long time, after lunch took me to Dengfeng Songshan Shaolin Temple, I have a kind of worship of Shaolin Temple since childhood, after watching the Shaolin Temple movie is full of strong interest here.
I thought he had brought me here to visit, but I didn't think that when he brought me into the monastery, I would know that he was asking me to practice here.
"Am I a monk? I'm the only kid in my family, I have to discuss this matter with my parents, they still want to hold their grandson", I said a lot of things to Dao Quanzi, and he only replied to me, "Listen to the master".
When a monk with six incense spots on his head took us away from a temple on the mountain more than ten miles away from Shaolin Temple, he pointed at a monk with a big belly and round face and fat ears and said, "This is your disciple, so you can do it yourself", after saying a few polite words to Dao Quanzi and leaving, I became the apprentice of this fat-headed and big-eared monk.
The big fat monk looked at me and stared at me for a long time, "Do you know how to do laundry and cook?" ”。
"Yes", I had to answer honestly, this answer seemed to be very satisfactory to him, a big fat face smiled and nodded, "That's good, in the future, the sundries here will be handed over to you, you live in the east courtyard, there is a kitchen and a well in the backyard, go get something to eat first."
I was stunned and a little dazed, what is this? Is it to serve this big-headed monk? I turned my head to look at Michichi, and as if he didn't see me, he turned his face to the side and looked at the mural on the wall.
I almost choked out when I entered the east room, and the dust in the house didn't know how long it hadn't been cleaned, so I put my clothes aside and came to the backyard kitchen, which was cleaner than the east house, and found some vegetables in the cupboard, some commonly used cooking ingredients were also quite complete, and there were a lot of noodles on the side, and I simply made some noodles.
When I came to the main house with my face, I saw that the two of them were playing Go, Jiang Mian put it aside and let me know, but the two of them ignored me, just waved their hands at me, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, turned around and left to go back to the east house to clean up the house.
It took me about an hour to clean up, and then I looked at the dust on my body, and my face was painted with landscape paintings, and when I returned to the main house after washing, the two of them were still playing chess there, and the noodles on the table didn't move, I was so angry.
"What do you two ask me to do if you don't eat noodles, isn't this a toss for me?" , I said a little angrily.
The big fat monk didn't raise his head and said, "What you make is also called noodles?" I didn't even eat a drop of oil in the clear soup and water, you see I've lost weight like this, are you careful? ”。
Dao Quanzi also interjected on the side: "That's it, at least you should add some slices of meat."
I'm so angry, you said what you want to eat as a monk, there is just such a thing in the kitchen, besides, do you dare to eat if I add meat, I thought to myself but didn't dare to say, put away the noodles on the table again, don't eat and starve you I thought to myself.
"There are a lot of rabbits in the back mountain, you go and catch two to stew, you have to be serious about cooking, don't fool us."
"That's it, add more salt and pepper when stewing", Dao Quanzi did not forget to add.
I was stunned, thinking that this monk should not be fake, how dare I eat meat, I pondered, maybe this is also a wine and meat monk, don't taboo these, put the noodles in the kitchen, I found a wire and came to the back mountain.
The back mountain is still relatively large, dense forests, as soon as you enter, you feel that there is a primitive ecological taste around you, I looked on the ground for a while, and really found rabbit footprints.
I put the wire in a circle, put one in each place I found, and finally tiptoed to find the trace of the rabbit, almost an hour or so to find one, I chased after the branch, the rabbit was chased around by me, and finally ran into the trap I had set, and was tightly roped by the wire, and came back with such a set when it was almost dark.
I was sorting out the rabbits and thinking, am I a monk? If you haven't shaved your head, is it considered a lay disciple? Is it considered a transgression to eat meat as a monk? Can I still marry a daughter-in-law? A whole bunch of questions came to my head.
When the rabbit meat came out of the pot, as soon as the salt and ingredients were sprinkled, the fragrance of the ingredients spread, and all the questions in my mind were washed away, and even the fat monk and Dao Quanzi were lying at the door looking and saying hello.
This meal in the evening should be the best meal I've had recently, and I don't know where the fat monk and Dao Quanzi got the wine and drank it, I looked at them and obviously looked like old friends who had known each other for many years, but I don't know when they met.
After the storm passed, I packed up my things and went back to the house to rest, Dao Quanzi didn't know what to talk about with the big fat monk, and I didn't see him come back when I fell asleep, but I heard the big fat monk shouting at dawn: "I don't get up to make breakfast so early, do you want to starve me?"
