Chapter 8: A Monk
We ran with this group of strange beasts for another half hour, and my wounds had become numb, and my strength was almost exhausted. The few people around us were all wounded, but the beasts followed us as if they were tireless, occasionally leaving two deep wounds on our bodies. I know we won't last much longer.
Just when I was thinking blindly, the pangolin in front of me suddenly stopped, and I pulled Nangong Ruomo and hit him directly, and the three guys next to me also stopped. When I looked up, I felt a pang of despair in my heart, it turned out that there was also a group of strange beasts in front of us, and these guys suddenly became smarter, and actually knew how to outflank. At this point, there is really no way for us to escape.
The beasts weren't in a hurry to attack, they just watched us quietly, without even making a sound. After a while, out of the herd came a golden beast, the guy was twice as big as the others, with golden hair fluttering in the wind, it should be the king of this group of beasts. I saw that the guy raised his head and howled, and the little guys around him instantly became irritable, as if they would rush over at any time.
At this moment, a Sanskrit chant came from a distance, and the syllables sounded like Sanskrit, but I couldn't understand a word of Sanskrit. The voice came from far and near, and it was clear that the Sanskrit chanter was approaching quickly. Although I couldn't understand the Sanskrit chant, the tone sounded like a great Buddhist mantra of great compassion. At the sound of this chanting, the originally irascible beast began to become quiet, and even the golden beast stopped making a sound but raised its head and quietly looked behind us.
Finally, the sound of Sanskrit chanting got closer and closer, and at the end of the field of vision, a monk in a gray monk's robe slowly walked over while chanting loudly. The strange beasts behind them retreated to the left and right as the monk approached, making way for him. The monk slowly walked up to us, and it was only then that I saw that the monk was in his twenties and extremely handsome. Standing still in front of us, the monk's singing voice became louder and louder, and finally I felt a little harsh. When the golden beast saw him, it roared at him a few times. The monk stopped chanting and nodded to the golden beast. As if he understood what he meant, the golden beast roared at the beasts, and the beasts that had surrounded us suddenly began to retreat, and slowly there was no one left.
After seeing that these pestering guys had retreated, I finally exhaled heavily, pulled Nangong Ruomo to the monk, and said, "Thank you Master for saving me, if it weren't for the master's presence, I'm afraid we would have fed those wild dogs." ”
Seeing that Nangong's hands were tied, the monk took out a dagger from his arms, cut the rope for me and Nangong, and then said to me: "You are wrong, those are not wild dogs, but roars." ”
Listening to his tone, it was not like a monk in any monastery, but like an ordinary person. I asked, a little confused, "Roar?" Could it be that these are the mounts of Guanyin Bodhisattva, roar? ”
The monk nodded to me and did not speak.
The fat man next to me listened and said, "Can this little guy be a mount?" It is estimated that as soon as Guanyin sat on it, its came out. ”
Just when he wanted to say more, Nangong Ruomo suddenly pounced and punched the fat man in the face. The fat man was caught off guard and flew out with a punch from her, and fell to the ground on his back. The two people who were with him did not come forward to stop them, but took a few steps back to watch the excitement. Nangong Ruomo didn't mean to stop after punching, and there was a burst of punches and kicks at the fallen fat man, and the fat man was knocked to the ground, and at this time, he had no way to fight back, so he had to gather his fat body into a ball.
Although Nangong Ruomo has enjoyed fighting, I can see that if he keeps fighting like this, that guy won't be in any big trouble. Sure enough, that guy took advantage of Nangong's pause, rolled on the ground and stood up, and roared at Nangong Ruomo and was about to rush over. Although Nangong has good skills, that guy is obviously a fight-resistant, and Nangong is a girl after all, and her strength is much smaller, I am afraid that she will suffer, so I quietly took a few steps forward.
Just when the conflict was about to break out, the pangolin and the monk came between the two at the same time. The pangolin shouted to the fat man: "Li Dakui, if you don't want to go down this way, you can fight here enough." The fat man's name turned out to be Li Dakui, he stopped, looked at the other two who were watching his liveliness, glared at Nangong fiercely, and said, "This girl is crazy, you can't blame me." ”
Nangong Ruomo gritted her teeth and said to him: "You killed someone, I will arrest you sooner or later." ”
Li Dakui glanced at Nangong Ruomo coldly, he had completely calmed down at this time, and said: "You are a policeman, you should know that the situation was urgent at that time, and my behavior was a subconscious act, which did not constitute an intentional crime." You don't have the right to arrest me. ”
Listening to this guy's words, my cold sweat suddenly flowed down, this guy looked at the five big and three rough, but not only ruthless, but also quick. I don't know what he said about whether he is committing a crime or not, the key lies in the previous sentence: You are a policeman. This sentence made the eyes of the two people who were originally watching the excitement suddenly change. They have already lost so many people when they went to the ground this time, if they are lucky enough to bring something out and be targeted by the police, it will be in vain. Seeing that those two guys and Li Dakui were faintly teaming up together, I was done.
At this moment, the monk who had been between the two spoke, "Ladies and gentlemen, as the saying goes, all dharmas have a fate, and since you can find this 'Sangya leaf', you are destined for my Buddha, so why waste your energy here?" The road inside is very long and dangerous, so you should rest and recuperate, so as not to get the treasure when you get it and take it with you. ”
Who is this monk? He didn't speak like a monk at all, but just a couple of words could send away the yells that almost killed us. Listening to his tone, I want to know the details of this tomb. What is "Sankya"? I thought I had some knowledge of Buddhist allusions after the Song Dynasty, but I had never heard of it at all. Listening to his meaning, it seems that he wants to go down to the ground with the pangolin, but have you ever seen a monk digging someone else's grave? This monk doesn't look like a monk at all, but in any case, this guy saved himself twice as soon as he appeared.
In view of the monk's strange appearance, the three guys did not rush to reply, but at the same time turned their gaze to the pangolin, which had not spoken. The pangolin remained silent after the monk made his move, probably for the first time he felt that things were out of his control. The pangolin thought for a while and said to the monk: "I don't know which treasure temple this senior monk's Dharma name is in?" ”
The monk smiled and said, "I'm just a tantric cultivator, and I have neither a Dharma name nor a pending order. ”
This monk actually said that he was a descendant of Tibetan Tantra, but looking at his white face and smooth skin, he really couldn't tell that he was a person who had lived in Tibet. The pangolin didn't seem to believe him very much, and then asked, "You seem to know the situation here, are you here to fight too?" ”
The monk smiled and said, "This is not a tomb, how can you say that it is upside down?" ”
Listening to his words, I wondered in my heart, if this is not a big tomb, what are these mountain scorpions doing here? Even Li Dakui and the three looked at the pangolins in surprise, thinking that the pangolins didn't tell them the truth.
The pangolin looked at the monk with some surprise and said, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" ”
The monk nodded and said, "This is Sangya. ”
The pangolin asked suspiciously, "What is a sanga leaf?" All I know is that there are treasures here. ”
The monk frowned and thought for a long time, as if he was trying to explain it to us, and after a while he said, "Sangya leaves are the place where the Buddha washes his soul in Buddhist legends, and it is said that there are five sankya leaves in this world. In the past, after enlightenment, the high monks would go to the sangya leaf to cleanse their souls and feel the Dharma at the same time. It is said that both Patriarch Bodhidharma and Venerable Sanzang had visited Sangya before preaching. There they not only sublimated their own Dharma, but also allowed their souls to be baptized by the light of the Buddha. ”
I don't really believe in these words of the monk. There are so many legends in Buddhism that many of them sound absurd and impossible to think about. However, since this place has appeared in legends, based on my years of experience, this is definitely a treasure place. When I was a wall skewer, my favorite places to visit were villages with strange legends. Because since some stories have survived to the present day, there must have been something that people could not understand at the time, and this thing must have been widely known. People like to make up strange legends to explain things that I can't understand, and these legends are often the basis for me to determine where good things are.
The pangolin listened to his words, thought for a while, and said, "Since our destination is the same, it is better to travel together, and there will be a good response along the way." ”
The monk nodded to the pangolin and said, "It's good to walk together, but it's best for everyone to support each other along the way and stop fighting." After speaking, he looked at Li Dakui and the three of them.
This monk is actually protecting me and Nangong! It seems that although he has a strange background, at least he is not a bad person. The pangolin's gaze also looked at the three men, waiting for the three of them to make a statement. Li Dakui and the three of them glanced at each other, knowing that if this monk was there, the possibility of several people being able to enter the Sangjia Ye smoothly was much greater, and they all nodded to the monk.
