Chapter 64: Purifying the Heart
"I want shoes, I'll tell you earlier. My daughter-in-law gave me a pair of cotton shoes a few days ago, but I have not been willing to wear them.
Seeing that we are about the same height, the size of the soles of our feet is the same, and it doesn't hurt for the master to wear them. Xiao Zhuang waved his hand and said quite arrogantly.
A flash of gratitude flashed in Li Xian's eyes, and he did not shirk and folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, such a poor monk is grateful to Lord Xiao." However, it is not easy for the villagers to buy some clothes, so the poor monk will give you some money in exchange. ”
"If you talk about money again, I'll be really angry. Although we are small, we can still afford a pair of shoes. With that, Xiao Zhuang stopped cleaning and hurriedly went down the mountain to find shoes for Li Xian.
Li Xian shook his head and smiled wordlessly, but the warmth in his heart poured into the meridians of his body, and he felt extremely comfortable.
I saw that it was noon, and I hadn't eaten yet. It just so happened that there was a 'gurgling' hunger in his stomach, and Li Xian didn't wronged himself, so he immediately went to cook.
However, when Li Xian passed by Xiangding, he didn't look at the watch rune in his hand, but habitually glanced down at Xiangding, and saw that the unlucky value had broken through the 120,000 mark, and Li Xian was immediately even more happy.
......
Money is nothing to Li Xian now, and saving as usual is just a matter of habit.
A plate of green vegetables, a stack of tofu, and a bowl of rice became Li Xian's lunch today.
As soon as the hot dish was served on the table, Li Xian had not yet sat down to eat, when a familiar voice came from beside him and said, "How can there be no meat?"
Li Xian looked to the left and saw no one, and when he lowered his gaze, he saw Xiao Se, who was short in stature, knowing that he was a shadow killer, and he could understand his ghostly traces.
However, before Li Xian could open his mouth and invite him to eat together, a familiar voice came from the right and said, "It's a pity that there is no wine." ”
Nima, do you want to be so shocked and elusive?
Li Xian looked at the regretful old monk on the side painfully, and just wanted to say in his heart: Are you sure your master is not a Taoist priest? Who told you that monks can drink, this is obviously all precepts, is it good?
Even if you are old and do not abide by the rules of the world, you must keep the rules and precepts of the temple.
The two of them came here to take a look and left, with no intention of staying to eat at all.
Li Xian was also at ease, and he didn't keep them, and started eating by himself.
After eating, it was not until late in the afternoon that villager Xiao Zhuang came up the mountain panting with a new pair of shoes.
For these people who can be regarded as family members, Li Xian will not hesitate to tear off the layers of camouflage on his face and show them his truest side.
It's not as good as usual to always pretend to be indifferent, the look of a monk, it's not good to take it, but the needlework is dense enough to reflect the shoemaker's intentions of cotton shoes, Li Xian teased Xiao Zhuang who was panting for a while, and asked him to strengthen his exercise and not fall into the gentle township and couldn't extricate himself.
Xiao Zhuang scratched his head and smiled, and hurriedly asked Li Xian to try whether the shoes would fit.
Li Xian nodded and smiled, and tried it under Xiao Zhuang's expectant gaze, it was really suitable.
In the courtyard of the temple, under Xiao Zhuang's hearty laughter, Li Xian was about to talk to him a few more words to express his gratitude, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw the second battalion commander and Zhu Badou standing at the door like two clay figures.
Seeing that they didn't care about the mess on their bodies, and they were about to step into the clean temple, Li Xian snorted and pointed to the lake not far outside, without saying a word.
The meaning is very clear, that is, wash and roll back.
The second battalion commander and Zhu Badou, the two brothers, pouted their lips tacitly, but they didn't dare to disobey the master's order, so they could only obediently go to the lake to wash.
As soon as the two apprentices left, Xiao Zhuang, who saw that the temple was already very clean and there was no place to clean, also made a farewell.
Li Xian repeatedly retained, but Xiao Zhuang insisted on going down the mountain on the grounds that he was busy farming in the spring, and Li Xian had no choice but to comply.
However, when Xiao Zhuang turned around, Li Xian took out a golden bean from the martial spirit ring, and with a flash of golden light, the golden bean was silently bounced into Xiao Zhuang's clothes by Li Xian.
Xiao Zhuang is gone, and the two apprentices are also here, so they can officially embark on the journey to the southwest.
Li Xian cleaned up and went out of the wing room where he lived, as for the old monks and Xiao Se who worshiped the Buddha in the main hall, he didn't care, let them go, and they wanted to go and live if they wanted.
Anyway, there is nothing to steal in the temple, of course, they must have a chance to steal it under the shroud of mildew.
Li Xian waited at the gate of the temple for a while, and when the second battalion commander and Zhu Badou, who were wet but clean, arrived, he left the temple and headed for the southwest with a wave of his hand.
As soon as Li Xian left, Xiao Se, who was supposed to worship the Buddha in the hall, appeared in front of the temple gate.
The desire for immortality and the existing reason were constantly struggling, and an inexplicable look flashed in Xiao Se's eyes. The old monk also walked to his side quietly, and when Xiao Se came back to his senses, he was suddenly startled when he saw someone beside him.
"He is the nephew of the old master, the apprentice of the junior brother, and he is also the best guide to find the 17th Living Buddha. Everything has a cause and effect, and sometimes obstruction can be a help.
But you can't stop him, or you'll be fighting with the Southwest Lama Temple!"
What kind of existence did the Southwest Lama Temple have? Relying only on a corner of Buddhism that could not rely on millions of barbarian believers, it had been fighting with the powerful Taoists for more than 100 years, but the Taoists were stunned and had no way to deal with them.
And when the seventeenth living Buddha is reincarnated, the lama temple is rumored to destroy Taoism in one fell swoop.
And what about the old monk in front of him? He is not an ordinary person.
In addition to having the identity of the 16th Living Buddha's senior brother, he was also the previous abbot of the Lama Temple, and his Dharma name was 'Pure Heart'.
It is rumored that when the Wudou Mi Taoist Sect Master led the Tianhuo Kingdom and the Tianjin Kingdom, a total of 300,000 troops, to the Southwest Ping Buddhism, everyone saw their Martial Emperor's peak Dragon Descending Ancestor playing chess with this old abbot in the Mancheng Tower, just like an old friend who had not seen him for many years.
The Taoist master of Wudoumi immediately ordered the retreat of the army to camp in Wuli, and at night the dragon descended and sent the ancestor into the tent to continue to talk with the sect leader for a night, and on the second day, the Taoist army came from afar, but it resolutely retreated without a fight.
As soon as this incident came out, everyone thought that the old host of the Lama Temple could deter the ancestors of the Dragon Descending Sect and the Taoist army, and his strength must be extraordinary, and he also had a place in the 'Wu Bang'.
Now that they have been together for a few days, Xiao Se has become more and more unable to see through the realm of the old monk, and the fear of him in his heart has become even deeper.
"Don't go to the trouble of the little monk, this is what I promised you, but don't forget your promise to take me into the underworld. ”
An "um" sound came out, and there was no sound next to it.
When Xiao Se turned his head, he found that the elusive pure heart was missing again.
