Chapter 6: Master Huiming
Nangong Xia has obviously been to the Jade Buddha Temple many times, and is very familiar with this place, and from time to time will explain the origin of a certain Buddha statue for Shiziling. And most of the monks here also know Nangong Xia, and they will take the initiative to greet him when they see him.
Nangong Xia was smiling and polite to every monk, without the frame of the head of a great family.
He held his round belly in the temple first incense and made a wish, and donated a lot of sesame oil money, finally the merit was complete, was about to leave, a white-eyed old monk came over and said: "Amitabha, Nangong donor, long time no see, since you came, why don't you go to the poor monk to drink a cup of tea before leaving?"
When Nangong Xia saw this white-eyed old monk, he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Master Huiming." Old man, I was just passing by today, and on a whim, I came in to burn incense and make a wish. Because I was still in a hurry to go back to Narcissus City, I didn't dare to disturb you in your abbot's room, but I didn't expect you to come out by yourself. ”
Hui Ming said: "Recently, it has been rumored that the benefactor encountered an assassin in Songhu City and was seriously injured, and the poor monk is quite worried about the benefactor. As soon as I heard the governor monk tell me that the benefactor of Nangong was coming, the poor monk was in a hurry to come out to see him. However, now it seems that the donor's complexion is not bad, and it seems that he is not far from healing from his injuries. ”
Nangong Xia said: "It is said that good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, it turns out that even the old monk knows about my assassination and injury." Fortunately, I am blessed with a great life, and with the help of a master, I finally escaped a catastrophe, which makes you worry, master. ”
Hui Ming said: "Oh, I don't know who the master of Nangong is talking about, is it Yuan Shi Tianzun or Gongsun Xuan Lord?"
Nangong Xia said with a smile: "The two you said are today's great grandmasters, how can they have anything to do with me, a fat old man." If it weren't for him to heal me in time, and protect me all the way back, I'm afraid that the old monk will never see me again. As he spoke, he pointed to the stone tomb beside him.
Monk Huiming was taken aback, and saw that Shi Ziling was young, although his instruments were extraordinary, but it was still very unexpected for him to be called a master by the head of a big family like Nangong Xia.
Hui Ming recited the Buddha's horn and said, "Amitabha, please forgive the poor monk for being ignorant, I don't know which disciple this little benefactor is?"
Shi Ziling bowed and saluted, and said, "Shi Ziling see Master Huiming." It's just a no-name junior, but it's just because of fate that I helped Nangong's seniors a little, and the word 'master' is ashamed. ”
Monk Huiming said: "Who is my Dao, it turns out that it is the most famous rising star Shi Gongzi in the east recently, and the old man has heard the name of the prince for a long time." I heard that the battle between Gongzi and Miss Ye Zhenzhen was a wonderful sensation in the world, and Lao Wei has long wanted to meet you, a young talent from the east. Today, when I saw that the donor was really extraordinary, it was no wonder that the Nangong donor would praise you. ”
Shi Ziling said: "The master is too awarded, I also heard that the Jade Buddha Temple has many masters, and the master is the world's first-class master." It's my honor to see the master today. ”
Monk Huiming smiled and said: "Lao Wei is a monk, although he has learned some martial arts, but it is just to strengthen his body, where can he talk about what kind of master." ”
Nangong Xia on the side smiled and said: "Old monk, don't be too humble, if even you are not a master, how can you make us embarrassed!"
Monk Huiming smiled and said, "It's rare for two people to come to this temple, why don't you go to the poor monk's burrow and drink a cup of tea together?"
Nangong Xia said: "I don't care, but Shi Gongzi is on official business this time, and it is necessary to escort me back to Narcissus City safely to be considered a complete success, I wonder if he is willing to delay a little time to go to your abbot's room for tea?"
Although I knew that I could exchange a jade pendant for a diagram in the Jade Buddha Temple, it was obviously not appropriate at this moment. In Shi Ziling's heart, he actually didn't want to delay here, but since Nangong Xia said so, if he didn't go, he would seem to be disrespectful to Master Huiming.
Shi Ziling had no choice but to say, "Since the master has invited, then I will disturb it." ”
Then the two followed Monk Huiming to the abbot's room.
Although the Jade Buddha Temple has been renovated solemnly, the abbot's room of the monk Huiming is indeed just a simple clean room. After Nangong Xia and Shi Ziling entered the room and took their seats, a little novice served a cup of fragrant tea to each of them.
Nangong Xia took a sip of tea and said, "It's been a long time since I've drunk the tea of the Jade Buddha Temple, and I actually miss this faint fragrance, Ha Lu Ha ......."
Monk Huiming said: "I haven't played chess with the donor here for many years, and I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to play a few more games with the donor."
Nangong Xia sighed: "There are really too many things to do in the mortal world, old monk, you have probably heard of it, my son and Li Yuan's son Li Xiaoyao have been scheduled for a duel at Huiyan Peak in Hengshan on August 15, and I hurried back after being injured this time for this matter." ”
"In addition, the current world is full of chaos, in this turbulent world, as the head of the Nangong family, how can I have time to play chess with you, the master?"
"Don't talk about me, master, haven't you also been idle for that thing all these years? I heard that every year someone comes to you with a fake jade pendant to mess around, I believe you must be unbearable. This is true of you as a monk, let alone a layman. ”
Shi Ziling couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Nangong Xia suddenly mention the matter of the jade pendant, and he didn't understand why he mentioned this matter to Master Huiming in front of him, did he want to see his reaction?
Of course, Shi Ziling's face was silent, but he didn't know what he was talking about, and tasted the tea in the cup by himself.
However, Abbot Huiming was a little embarrassed when he heard Nangong Xia suddenly mention the matter of the jade pendant, and said: "Why should the Nangong benefactor mention these unpleasant things." Everything is in cause and effect, and one day, these troubles of right and wrong will dissipate with the wind like a cloud of smoke, so why should you and I bother ourselves?"
Nangong Xia said: "My old man doesn't have the great wisdom of you, master, if I could see through this world, I wouldn't have been ambushed by someone and almost lost my life." Although Li Yuan is now in full swing, it is difficult to say who will be the winner of the most rear. Shi Gongzi, are you right?"
Shi Ziling didn't expect Nangong Xia to suddenly ask himself, he felt a little confused, and said: "The words of the two seniors are unfathomable, boy, I am only a shallow learner, and I don't understand what you mean." ”
"I just think that we martial arts people shouldn't take winning or losing too seriously. One of the great pleasures of studying martial arts is to explore the unknown of life and discover my potential, and if these are done well, whether you win or lose for a while, or win or lose at the end, it is not so important. ”
Abbot Huiming nodded approvingly: "Shi Gongzi's words are simple and straightforward, and they are secretly in line with Buddhism, no wonder the Nangong benefactor has such a high opinion of you." ”
As he was talking, a little novice came in to announce that Nangong Bo, the city guard of Narcissus City, had arrived and was looking for Nangong Xia.
Nangong Bo, as the city guard of Narcissus City, was not under his father in terms of identity, and Abbot Huiming hurriedly asked people to invite him in.
After Nangong Bo came in, he saw his father Nangong Xia, and naturally he was embarrassed.
Shi Ziling finally put his mind at ease, expecting that Nangong Bo would bring people to arrive, and his escort task this time was finally completed safely.
Then Nangong father and son said goodbye to Abbot Huiming, and they entered Narcissus City together with Shi Ziling.
After entering Narcissus City, Shi Ziling was arranged to live in the mansion specially prepared by the Nangong family for VIPs, Shi Ziling wanted to leave and return to Songhu City as soon as possible, but Nangong and his son tried their best to keep him, and they must let him play for a few more days. Nangong Xia even invited Shiziling to observe the duel between Nangong Bo and Li Xiaoyao three days later.
Shi Ziling thought that he had successfully escorted Nangong Xia to his place anyway, and finally let go of his worries, and while he was relaxed, he also wanted to see more of the world outside the world. In particular, he is also very interested in the duel between Nangong Bo and Li Xiaoyao.
Since he woke up in the Crocodile Pond in Pan'an County, he was directly recognized as a subordinate of Tongtian Sect Leader Li Yuan, so he has always maintained an interest in Li Yuan's people, and he really wants to have the opportunity to learn more about their situation. Since Nangong father and son invited him to stay longer, he agreed.
As for exchanging jade pendants for illustrations, Shi Ziling had already thought very clearly in his heart, and the current time was definitely not the best time.
First, Nangong Xia already suspected that he had obtained the jade pendant, and he would definitely spread eyeliner near the Jade Buddha Temple, and secondly, even if he changed to the diagram, he was afraid that it would be difficult to return to Songhu City unnoticed. At that time, I am afraid that all parties will focus on themselves. It's better not to do such a thing as a fire.
Anyway, there are nine copies of the illustrations of the "Nine Yuan Customs Clearance", and before you collect all the nine illustrations, it should not be very different whether you have one or two copies in your hand.
