Chapter 103: Don't Talk
"I'm afraid it's not easy...... said the abbot, touching his chin and long, white beard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info His brow furrowed, a thoughtful look on his face.
"Of course I know it's not easy, otherwise I wouldn't have asked your old man for help!" I thought to myself.
"Song Daoyou, let me think about it. You're tired from the day, so go and rest! If I think of a good idea, I'll tell you tomorrow! ”
"Then thank you senior!" I saluted the abbot and left his room.
After returning to the room arranged for me by the village chief, I also sat cross-legged on the bed and tried to exercise pranayama, but as in the past, the heaven and earth aura I absorbed automatically dispersed in my body.
I don't know how many times I've tried since I realized that my cultivation was completely lost and that all the meridians in my body were broken, and the results were all the same.
Now I suddenly know what can help me recover, and it would be a lie to say that I don't want to.
Lying on the bed, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking of all kinds of ways to get the evil phoenix to give me phoenix blood, but I ruled them out one by one. This evil phoenix is an old monster that has lived for thousands of years, and ordinary schemes are almost impossible to work in front of it.
"Little fox, do you think there is any way to get the evil phoenix in the seal to voluntarily give me its blood?" I said to the little fox curled up in the bed.
The little fox looked at me blankly, as if to say, "You don't know, how do I know?" "I can't help but wonder that this little fox is very simple in his heart, and it is a loss that only I can think of it if he tries to calculate others.
But this opportunity is right in front of me, and if I don't do something, I always feel unwilling! Later, the more I thought about it, the more troubled my heart became, maybe I was really tired, and I fell asleep before I knew it.
"Song Daoyou, Uncle Daotong invites you to go to his room."
I don't know when there was a knock on the door, and then Ci'an's voice reached my ears. The little fox lazily opened its eyes, and its face looked like it was about to kill, and it could be seen that it was very unhappy at this time. Seeing this, I quickly got up and opened the door, and then pulled the monk Ci'an to the side.
This little raccoon was originally unhappy to see the monk Ci'an, but now the monk Ci'an disturbed its dreams, if it ran wild for a while, the eight horses couldn't pull it. Although I haven't seen the little fox make a move, judging from the changes in its body in recent years, its cultivation should not be much lower than that of my heyday......
"Master, don't you know what happened when my predecessor asked me to come over? But he's already figured out a way? I asked, rubbing my sleepy eyes.
"You can ask Uncle Tong for a while." Monk Ci'an said with a smile.
Seeing Ci'an like this, I really had the urge to call the little fox out and beat him, but I preferred that I did it myself. But this can only be thought of, this Ci'an monk is estimated to have been practicing in the temple and rarely walks down the mountain, so he will show people the face of "enlightened monks".
"Song Daoyou, I thought about it all night last night, to make this evil phoenix willingly hand over its blood, I'm afraid we have to stage a play in front of it." After entering the old abbot's room, he said straight to the point.
"Acting?" I wondered.
"Yes, acting!" The old abbot touched his beard and said with an affirmative smile.
"How?" I asked, somewhat curious.
"It's actually very simple, you go to the ancient tomb and pretend to let the evil phoenix out, and then wait until you break the seal a little bit before we come in to stop you. The evil phoenix will help you no matter what, if you want to break through the seal, and at this time you take the opportunity to ask it for phoenix blood. When the phoenix blood arrived, I sealed it, and it was done. The old abbot laughed.
"Senior, your plan is as simple as that?" I couldn't believe it.
"It's as simple as that."
"But this evil phoenix is not stupid, can it be fooled by such an easy trap to see?" I asked, a little unacceptably, feeling that the abbot's plan was a bit unreliable.
If this evil phoenix sees through our scheme, it will be difficult to obtain phoenix blood from it. Moreover, there are very few rare beasts with phoenix blood, and it may be a few lifetimes before they encounter them again.
"Song Daoyou, Uncle Daotong didn't sleep all night to think of a way for you, but in the end you didn't believe him! Are you going too far? The Ci'an monk on the side said very unhappily.
"Ci'an, don't be rude!"
"But ......"
"Huh?"
The old abbot hummed lightly, and the Ci'an monk stepped aside and stopped talking.
"Senpai, I was reckless." I bowed to the old abbot.
Indeed, the abbots of other people are a lot old, and they haven't rested all night for this little thing for me, and I don't believe that people are indeed a bit too much.
"It doesn't matter. Although this method is simpler, the simpler some methods are, the more effective they are. This evil phoenix has been sealed for more than a thousand years, and it must be bent on breaking through the seal. And a little phoenix blood is nothing to it at all, even if it has doubts in its heart, as long as there is a little possibility of letting it regain its freedom, it will not give up. Besides, this evil phoenix was sealed not long after it came to the world, so don't look at it, it has lived for thousands of years, but its understanding of people's hearts is probably not as good as your spirit fox. Based on all of the above, I think this plan is quite reliable. The abbot carefully analyzed.
After listening to the abbot's analysis, I think this plan has a certain degree of feasibility. The abbot's words are indeed not wrong, and some methods are not clever to be effective. If it is related to people's vital interests, even simple means can have unexpected effects.
As with all kinds of fraud cases reported in the news, onlookers can tell at a glance that it is a superficial scam, and at this time they tend to laugh at those who have been deceived, thinking that they are fooled because they are stupid. But when he himself changed from a bystander to a party, I am afraid that the result will not be much better than those who are fooled.
In the final analysis, these scams involve the vital interests of the victims, making them think that they are profitable, but they do not know that the people who set up the scam are taking advantage of this psychology of people, and finally let these people fall into the trap.
And now, we are also trying to take advantage of the evil phoenix's desire to break through the seal and regain its freedom, so that although it has doubts in its heart, it has to fall into our routine.
At this moment, I suddenly felt that the old abbot's routine was so deep, his plan seemed simple, but it took into account the psychology of this evil phoenix, and its seldom dealing with the world, which caught me off guard.
Don't these people who practice Buddhism always talk about "monks don't talk about it"? Now I just want to express my feelings at this time with a phrase that is more popular at the moment.
The deepest road I've ever walked is your routine! I can imagine now that if the evil phoenix reacted after the trick, then its heart would definitely collapse! Maybe you will be born without love, and you will be cut off in the seal.
"Seniors, don't you all say that your family members don't speak? Aren't you afraid that the Buddha will blame you for deceiving this evil phoenix like this? I asked, somewhat speechless.
Not only did I have this question, but the monk Ci'an on the side had already been stunned. I think his three views must have been almost ruined at this time, and his worship of the old abbot is beyond words, but now this old abbot is not only a, but also a big!
"That rule is dead, but man is alive. This person has to learn to be flexible. Besides, this evil phoenix is not a good man and a woman, so naturally it can't be dealt with by conventional methods. And Song Daoyou, you have a heavy responsibility, if the Buddha knew that I broke the precepts in order to help you repair the meridians, then his old man would definitely not blame me! The abbot shook his head and smiled.
I suddenly found myself speechless, it was the first time I had seen an old abbot who took himself for granted and said so much. Is this really the respected old-timer I remember?
