Chapter Twenty-Nine: Heading South

Yuan Xing inexplicably became a monk in the mouth of the world.

It is said that he stepped on the two worlds of the underworld and the sun, and he could break the impermanence of the heavens, and Buganlin cured all kinds of diseases, and knew the cause and effect to make up for the disaster. This time, when I passed through Hengshui, I saw that the city was full of disasters, so I stopped to save the lives of this city.

In the courtyard of the inn where he lives, wisps of Buddha light will appear in the sky every night, and only people can see it. The innkeeper is one of them.

Anyway, the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, the first day has been exaggerated, and the next day it will simply be an adult again, and the three-headed, six-armed, black-faced fangs are all out.

Yuan Xing listened to Zhou Momei's flying relays of various rumors from the outside world, and his face darkened. is angry, it's not that he hasn't explained to people that he is not a monk, and he doesn't have the magical power to spy on the heavens and rain to cure all diseases. But people seem to be more willing to believe what they hear, as for the explanation of the person concerned, hehe.

"Someone is building momentum for you, otherwise the momentum wouldn't be so strong." Zhou Mo gloated and said: "It is likely that the government befriended you in this way, and diverted the people's panic about the frequent disasters of the Great Song Dynasty this year. ”

"Feelings now play a role in the poor monks and the statues in the temple, and become a means of appeasing the people?" Yuan Xingtie's face was blue, and his tone was full of helplessness.

"Anyway, your reputation is solid, and I believe it will soon spread to the north and even the world." Zhou Mo raised his eyebrows and teased: "How does it feel to be a monk?" ”

Yuan Xing couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard this: "Why don't you change it?" ”

"Ha, I don't have your supernatural powers." Zhou Mo laughed.

was laughing, there was a knock on the door, and Fang Qiwu's voice came from outside: "What's so funny?" ”

---------------------------

Fang Daochang was still dressed when he left a few days ago, and there was no trace of the journey and the great war on his body, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was to make fun of Yuan Xing: "As soon as Poor Dao left Drum City, he heard the name of Master Yuan Xing, and when he returned here, he thought he had entered a temple, but it was really lively." His tone was similar to Zhou Mo's previous words, which were generally gloating.

Now this inn is full of people, the courtyard where the line lives is not clean, as soon as you get close, you will see the incense case tribute placed at the door, and even some people burn incense and worship with prayer to the guest room inside, making it smoky, it doesn't look like a place to live, but it is similar to the yin house of the ancestors of the Qingming Dynasty.

Yuan Xing looked at the two of them speechlessly, it turned out that the poor monk was unlucky, was it such a happy thing?

After laughing and laughing, several people couldn't help but talk about what happened after the separation. Fang Qiwu originally knew that the news was fake, and also expected that there was an ambush in Gucheng, so he made a lot of preparations, the purpose of this trip to Gucheng was to end the enemy's battle, she said it lightly, just a few words, and did not mention a thrilling sentence.

Yuan Xing also told him what had happened, and when he talked about the two people who attacked him, Fang Qiwu couldn't help frowning, and pondered for a long time before shaking his head again: "Poor Dao really can't think of such an enemy, if you have the ability and courage, you would have gone to Gucheng to ambush a long time ago, and you would do such a despicable act as killing you to vent your anger, and I don't think it's a famous thing." "Listen, this is the master's bearing, the two green forest thieves who have been fighting for a long time in their feelings and fate, are just insignificant little people in her eyes, and they don't even deserve her name.

--------------

Miao Xu got the news of Fang Qiwu's return and rushed to the inn as soon as possible.

"The juniors meet the Taoist." As soon as he entered the house, he made a salute.

Fang Qiwu sat on the chair, but he neither returned the salute nor let the other party straighten up, just looked at him coldly, and only spoke after a long time: "Mu Bai taught a good apprentice." Even poor friends dare to calculate? ”

"The juniors don't dare." Miao Xu threw himself on his knees, and there was cold oozing from his forehead.

"The matter of fate, do you dare to say that you didn't add fuel to the fire?" Fang Qiwu took a sip of tea slowly.

What? Yuan Xing and Zhou Mo looked at each other, and they really couldn't imagine that the name of the monk spread so quickly, and there was Miao Xu's intervention behind it.

"After the death of the teacher, the situation at home became more and more difficult day by day, if it weren't for Mr. Liu Da and Senior Yu to take care of them, the remaining orphans and widows would have been eaten by those relatives long ago." Miao Xu hurriedly explained: "The juniors are just thinking about ......"

Fang Qiwu interrupted him: "Are you afraid that the poor road will not perform in the Central Plains for a long time, and you can't suppress those old immortals in the south this time, are you looking for a monk helper for me?" Seeing that the other party lowered his head, he suddenly said quietly: "The interests of the imperial merchant are so big, but Mu Bai only has a daughter, don't you want to replace it?" ”

"Master's kindness is like a mountain, how can Miao Xu do something that is inferior to that beast." Miao Xu was shocked when he heard this, and walked a few steps to Fang Qiwu's body and touched the ground with his forehead: "The juniors swear that they will never have any selfishness in this matter. ”

After a series of fights, seeing that the other party was almost lying on the ground, Fang Qiwu said: "Get up, a few of our friends are not dead yet, forgive you and don't dare." ”

Miao Xu stood up at this time, raised his eyes and saw the two monks glaring at him, and hurriedly apologized again, his attitude was extremely sincere, but he called the fate of the bad attack, after all, people had saved themselves before.

Seeing this, Fang Qiwu waved his hand angrily and said to Miao Xu, "You prepare a boat tonight, and we will leave here tomorrow morning." ”

The other party was about to leave after receiving the order, Fang Qiwu thought for a while and said: "You let out the original words of the poor road, the best friend died, five years ago the poor road failed to make the trip due to events, and now I plan to go south to worship and collect the orphans of the Leng family into my Shangqing, I see that the person who is not long-eyed dares to stretch out his claws again." ”

When Miao Xu respectfully withdrew, she shook her head: "Time can really grind people, such a simple and lovely child back then, but now it has become slippery and scheming." sighed and turned his head to Yuan Xing and said: "This kid doesn't do things authentically, but after all, there is a reason for it, I am here to make amends for him, how about the master forgive him this time?" ”

Today, she has a strong aura, and it is rare to be able to say words of apology.

"How about the two of you go to Jiangnan with me?" Fang Qiwu smiled bitterly: "The next thing is a bit complicated, I'm afraid I really have to borrow the name of your divine monk." ”

-----------

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, several people cleaned up and quietly went out of the city under Miao Xu's arrangement.

There was a passenger boat parked by the Yellow River, and there were only a few guests except the sailors.

Instead of entering the cabin, they reached the bow of the boat, where refreshments were prepared on a low table, and jugs of wine were still hot in the stove soup pot.

Fang Qiwu waved his hand to send Miao Xu away, took the lead in finding a mat and sat cross-legged, took the wine, poured a glass and handed it to Zhou Mo, and said with a smile to Yuanxing: "It's cold in the morning, how about a monk come to have a cup?" ”

"No, monk, I don't drink alcohol." Yuan Xing hurriedly waved his hand, poured tea and held it in his hand, and sat down on the ground far away from the two. Not only did he not drink, but he hated the smell.

"Uninteresting." Fang Qiwu rolled his eyes and gave it to him, and then drank with Zhou Mo. Yuan Xing drank hot tea and thought about his own thoughts.

After drinking a few glasses, Fang Qiwu suddenly took off the mask, revealing a delicate face.

Looking at the surprised two, she smiled and said, "Now that we have been through hardships together, let's introduce ourselves again." My name is Lan Ruobing, also known as Fang Tuo, I jumped off a cliff in my early years, was lame, was a madman, and was scolded as a demon girl for many years. More than ten years ago, I became a monk and joined the Shangqing faction, I acted too selfishly, there were always deviant behaviors, I killed countless people in my life, I was really not a good person, I did some good things, and I also failed many people. To admit one's own merits is not to admit one's fate. The biggest disadvantage is also that he does not accept his fate and is too stubborn. ”

Yuan Xing listened to her self-summary, thought about it, laughed, and raised the teacup: "My name is Qin Kong, my law name is Yuan Xing, and I also have a law name Buddha Zen." Before the crossing, he was a salted fish, and he had nothing to do on the Internet all day long. Later, he became a child and became a monk and practiced honestly. I was blind for two years and could play the lute empty-handed. Martial arts are sparse and ordinary, and Buddhism is ignorant. There is a waste system that says that I am walking in some Buddhist gate, but I don't know what I should do. ”

"Waste system?" Fang Qiwu looked at him meaningfully: "Is that the thing you communicated with in your heart?" ”

Yuan Xing nodded, and the other party could indeed detect the existence of the golden cicada.

"I don't have as amazing an experience as you." Zhou Mo also smiled and said: "I have seen the cold and warm of the world for some reason when I was young, I often mixed the Internet when I was young, I became an angry young man, and I have done a lot of ridiculous things, and now I can't look back when I think about it." He seemed to have a good amount of alcohol, and his face was not red or panting after glass: "I am a writer, but in fact, I am a literature lover at most, and I started to write novels on the Internet in order to relieve my mood, but unfortunately my level is limited, and I gave up at the beginning." There is only one book that is also big because of the theme hunting, and the results are not bad. It's a pity that at that time, because of the world's weariness, the writing was a bit hypocritical, and then I couldn't write it anymore, and it ended unfinished. It has been more than ten years since I recovered for a while and started to work again. ”

"Now in my thirties, I have been on a blind date several times without results, and I am still single, although I am not very good at communicating with people at work, but in the end I have become an old fritter. Maybe I was too young, and now I am not in good health, and I fell ill again this spring, and at that time I reflected on my hospital bed, if I died like this, I might only get a comment of 'he is a good person'. I felt that I should leave something behind, and began to use my spare time to write again, but unfortunately the level was still rotten, and I looked uncomfortable dry. Zhou Mo still smiled: "If you live a long life, these words may become the talk of the party for drinking, isn't it also a beautiful thing?" ”

"Interesting." Fang Qiwu clapped his hands: "The three of us are together, like the three stages of life?" She pointed to herself: "Rebellious, stubborn, and unwilling to admit defeat." ”

pointed to Zhou Mo again: "After tempering, it has become sleek and sophisticated." ”

Finally, he looked at Yuanxing: "A thousand sails are over, no desire and no desire?" ”

"I'm not without desires." Yuan Xing hurriedly waved his hand: "I actually have a lot of desires in my heart, and sometimes I think about ...... in my dreams."

"What do you think? Girl? Zhou Mo squeezed his eyes narrowly.

Yuan Xingbai glanced at him and said slowly: "I want iron plate squid crayfish, fresh meat wontons and big kidneys." ”

"You're a foodie?" Fang Qiwu laughed.

"What's wrong with the foodie?" Perhaps because of this undisguised communication, Yuanxing is no longer as orderly as usual at this time, sitting and lying down in a regular manner, one leg stretches forward, and the other fades bent and leans on the bow guardrail, and the whole person looks extremely lazy: "I am not interested in purifying sentient beings, let alone having the ability to glorify the Buddha's door, practice honestly, I only wish my family and friends safety, and get an answer......

"You really don't have to be so taboo with me, I really don't have any ill will towards you, it's just that there are some things that you can't let you know now." In front of his eyes, the text message of the golden cicada resurfaced again.

Yuanxing looked up at the sky and clouds in the distance. The passenger ship has left Hengshui far away, the sun has revealed its full face, there is no wind and no rain today, it is really a sunny and good weather. The sorrow and anxiety that has been lingering on his brow for the past few days gradually faded, and he knew that the wind and water were urgent, and it would eventually pass, and the rivers and lakes were far away, and the years were still long......
