Chapter 44 The Fat Monk
Chen Rui believed that his killing of Zhou Xiaodong would be exposed after the arrival of the overhaul of the Ziyang Palace, and he was afraid that he would be hunted down by them. At that time, as soon as the monks of each faction go back, the three thousand sects of the Xuanyue Kingdom, large and small, will be boiling, and the fact that he took advantage of the chaos to attack and kill Zhou Xiaodong will also be spread far away, and he does not dare to stop for a while, Chen Rui unfolded a sharp step and rushed towards the east with an elegant and agile attitude.
Before leaving, Chen Rui deliberately told a boy that he was going to the far north to find something. And let the boy tell Xiao Yu that the Heavenly Array Peak was temporarily handed over to him for management. This is Chen Rui's ecstasy array set up in order to disturb the pursuing soldiers who may come, if the enemy knows that he is going to the east, with his current cultivation, he may be captured by those monks who can control the Divine Rainbow in less than two days.
"There's no way, everything here can only be left behind...... Chen Rui has already thought about it, in this world, if he lacks cultivation, he can only become the plaything of others, and his life is in danger. Right now, he just wanted to leave the place of right and wrong as soon as possible and find a hidden place to concentrate on cultivating.
The spiritual power in his body was used, and Chen Rui finally found a place to stay.
When night falls, the stars are dotted, the breath of the great wilderness is particularly terrifying at night, and the mountain wind whispers like demons linger in the ears for a long time. Chen Rui did not dare to enter and exit the town, nor did he take the wide avenue. He sneaked cautiously, all choosing the kind of desolate and dangerous mountains and waters, and it was only at this moment that the stone in his heart fell to the ground, and he could take a long breath.
It was a dilapidated mountain temple covered in dust, and some broken cobwebs could be faintly seen swaying in the wind on the walls.
"Let's rest here for the night. Chen Rui leaned against the wall and took a nap. It's cold in the mountains in winter, and although it doesn't snow, it's very humid. Chen Ruiyun used his internal strength to protect his body before he could barely sleep, if ordinary people were to be frozen into stupid sculptures. It wasn't that Chen Rui hadn't thought about burning the fire to keep warm, but he was afraid that the fire would be too conspicuous at night, so he dispelled this idea.
In the middle of the night, Chen Rui was awakened by the smell of meat. At first he thought he was dreaming, but the rich fragrance grew stronger and stronger, and his stomach began to growl. Although he has been in the Sword Killing Gate for almost half a year, he really has no meat at all, and the fresh fruit and flower dew are all vegetarian all day long. I don't usually feel it, but once I am aroused, the feeling of being a gluttonous worm continues to invade him.
Swallowing his saliva, Chen Rui followed the aroma and walked out, only to see a fat figure sitting by the fire at the entrance of the temple.
"Amitabha, are you awake, donor?" a solemn Buddha call came. If it was usual, Chen Rui would definitely return the salute with his hands, but the scene in front of him made him frown for a while.
The person who recited the Buddha's name was an obese young man, less than thirty years old judging by the slackness of his skin, and his face was full of horizontal flesh, shining in the light of the fire. Although he recited the Buddha's name, he wore a common loose robe, which was neat and looked very moist.
The fat man, who didn't know if it was a monk or a Taoist priest, saw that Chen Rui didn't speak for a long time, which made him feel strange somewhat, but he still continued to ask: "Could it be that the donor is infected with the wind cold? After all, the humidity in this deep mountain is too heavy, hurry up and bake the fire." ”
"Well, thank you. Chen Rui was not pretentious, and sat directly opposite the fat man. He had just guessed the identity of the fat man in his heart, and after ruling out that the fat man was a person from the Ziyang Palace, Chen Rui was relieved, he didn't believe that the people of the Ziyang Palace would find out so quickly that it was him Chen Rui who killed Zhou Xiaodong.
"I don't know what the donor is called?" the fat man took a bite to benefactor, but he held a stick with various kinds of venison in his hand, and the venison kept flowing out of the flames with tempting juice, which was extremely inconsistent with the Buddha name in the fat man's mouth.
"Under Chen Rui, dare to ask the master whether you are a monk or a Taoist?" Chen Rui observed the fat man's face through the firelight, but the flesh on his face was piled up, and he couldn't see the change in his expression at all.
"Haha, the donor laughed. The fat man said with a smile, the fat on his face trembled, "The Buddha is the Tao, the Taoist Buddha is a family, why bother to divide the monks and the Taoists, the donor said yes." ”
Chen Rui didn't expect this fat man's crooked reasoning to be the Tao, and slandered in his heart, "How can you say that this Buddha and Tao are not allowed to kill casually, you don't know how much meat you have eaten with fat all over your body?" Thinking about it, Chen Rui still said politely: "Your Excellency is really open-minded, and you see the Buddha and the Tao so thoroughly, you must not be an ordinary person, I don't know what your Dharma name is?"
"Hahaha. The fat man laughed again and said: "Master Chen has a good eye, and there is no law name under it, the common surname is Ma, and the single name is a flat character." ”
Chen Rui laughed in his heart after hearing this, "Ma Bian, Ma Bian, aren't these two words together a 'deception' word, the fat man's parents are named like playing." ”
"Haha, Brother Ma's name is really peculiar, people won't forget it when they hear it. Good name!" Chen Rui opened his mouth.
"Amitabha, the name is just a code name, Brother Chen doesn't have to care. After the fat man finished speaking, he tore off a large piece of roast meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
Seeing that the fat man was eating so ecstatically, Chen Rui's stomach protested again.
"Oh, can Brother Chen eat meat?" the fat man asked, shaking the half of the barbecue in his hand, his eyes blinking, very serious.
Chen Rui's forehead was black and black, isn't this nonsense, you can feast on meat as a monk, can't I eat it as a layman?" Chen Rui asked.
"Hey!" the fat man waved his hand one after another, and said: "The monks don't smell copper, if Brother Chen can really eat meat, there is still half a deer body, I will give it to you." "The fat man is serious, like an atmospheric rich man.
Chen Rui could barely adapt to this fat monk's strange beauty, and he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Brother Ma, then I'm welcome." After speaking, Chen Rui tore off half of the deer leg and roasted it in the fire.
The deer's legs were tumbling in the fire, and before they were ripe, the rich aroma came out. Chen Rui wiped his saliva and sighed: "Brother Ma, where did you get this deer, this meat is really excellent, it is several times better than the ordinary!"
When the fat monk heard this, his body stiffened, and he said: "Hehe, don't hide it from Brother Chen, I spent a lot of energy to get this deer, but I spent several days for this, and it is really not easy to get my hands on it!"
"Then I really have to thank Brother Ma again, such a good thing was given to me directly, I really don't know how to thank you. Chen Rui said gratefully.
"Hehe, Brother Ma don't have to worry, the mountains don't turn around, if there is fate in the future, you will thank me." The fat man couldn't speak clearly, and he didn't know what he was going to say. However, the weirdness of the fat monk's personality made Chen Rui see it in a short period of time, and Chen Rui didn't comment much, but just thanked the fat monk repeatedly.
This venison is indeed not an ordinary product, it is soft and silky in the mouth, and the taste is luscious. Although it is grilled over fire, it is not dry at all.
"Alas!" the fat monk sighed deeply, looking very disappointed.
"What's the matter? Brother Ma, why are you worried?" Chen Rui asked hesitantly, because the meat in his mouth had not yet been swallowed.
"Alas!" the fat monk sighed again, shook his head, and said, "It's a pity that there is no good wine, otherwise wouldn't it be beautiful for you and me to drink together in this cold wind?" The fat monk sighed almost thumping his chest, as if he had missed some great opportunity.
Chen Rui had no choice but to echo: "Didn't Brother Ma say that if there is fate, we can meet again, and I will invite Brother Ma to drink together." ”
"Well, I'm afraid that Chen Rui won't invite me to drink at that time!" the fat monk shook his head and said meaningfully. Then he said: "Brother Chen eats first, the poor monk has a step in advance, and he will see you again in the future!"
Before Chen Rui could say anything, the fat monk quickly disappeared in the secluded woods in an extremely incongruous way.
