Chapter 147: Map of Fengluan Continent
In order to get the map of Fengluan Island, Tian Xiaoding and Tang Yunzhi inquired all the way to Lingyun Temple in the north of the city.
I happened to meet four young people who wanted to join Lingyun Temple and become monks.
Master Zhiguang, the abbot of Lingyun Temple, mistakenly thought that Xiao Ding also came to become a monk, so after questioning the four young people, he asked Xiao Ding: "Why did you come to become a monk?" β
Xiao Ding couldn't laugh when he heard this, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said, "Master Abbot, I don't want to be a monk here. β
"Don't be a monk? Then what are you doing with me? Monk Zhiguang asked with a glaring eye.
Xiao Ding hurriedly saluted again and said, "I heard that your temple has a map of Fengluan Continent, I wonder if the abbot master can sell it to me?" β
Monk Zhiguang glared at the beads again and said, "You want to buy my map of Fengluan Continent?" β
Xiao Ding smiled and clenched his fists and said, "Exactly! β
Monk Zhiguang shook his round bald head and said, "Don't sell it!" β
Xiao Ding Xin said, this big monk is really direct!
So, he once again accompanied the smiling face, and said cautiously: "Master Abbot, this map is extremely important to me, can you think we can discuss it?" β
"Talk about it! It took me decades to complete when I traveled to Fengluan Chau, how can I say that I will sell it? Master Zhiguang said categorically, his speech was vulgar, which made Xiao Ding doubt for a while, is he really a high-ranking monk of Lingyun Temple?
Seeing that Monk Zhiguang said so decisively, Xiao Ding knew in his heart that if he wanted to buy the map of this great monk, he was afraid that there was no hope.
So he thought for a moment, and then said: "Master Abbot, if you don't do this, you take out the map, let me look at it, and I'll return it to you, what do you think?" β
Monk Zhiguang paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ding and said, "That's not good, my map has been kept for too long, what if you accidentally break it for me?" β
Xiao Ding saw that the big monk didn't eat oil and salt, so he didn't even give a glance, and secretly complained in his heart. Then use the Heavenly Eye Technique to take a look at the cultivation of the great monk, and see that he is already a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, no wonder this guy is so arrogant, people are confident.
For the Yuanying Monk, Xiao Ding didn't dare to offend. But for the map, he doesn't plan to give up on it, he still has to fight for it.
So Xiao Ding had no choice but to squeeze out some smiles on his face again, and arched his hand and said: "Master Abbot, if this is not the case, I will go to the Buddha to put incense on the pillar later, and leave some incense money for your temple, and then you can lend me to look at the map?" β
Master Zhiguang rolled his eyes and said, "How much incense money are you going to give?" β
As soon as Xiao Ding saw that there was a door, he hurriedly said, "One hundred yuan ......"
"Huh? ......" Before Xiao Ding finished speaking, Monk Zhiguang snorted.
Xiao Ding hurriedly changed his words and said, "Five hundred, five hundred low-grade spirit stones, is it okay?" β
Monk Zhiguang snorted coldly again and said, "No, I want a thousand lower grade spirit stones, otherwise don't want to look at my map!" β
Sitting on the ground to increase the price? Kill you in front of you!
Xiao Ding knew that he was being caught, but he had to nod and agree: "Okay, a thousand is a thousand!" For the sake of the map, Xiao Ding was willing to admit his loss.
Master Zhiguang probably didn't expect Xiao Ding to agree so happily, he was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you really willing to spend a thousand spirit stones?" β
Xiao Ding nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, as long as I can observe the map, I am willing to pay a thousand spirit stones for incense." β
When Master Zhiguang heard this, he also nodded and said, "Okay, deal." I'll show you the map later. β
After speaking, he pointed to the four young people who came to plan to become monks, and instructed the young monk who had been standing aside: "The four of them have no wisdom roots, and they are not suitable to become monks, so you can send them out of the temple." β
The little monk clasped his hands together, bowed to Monk Zhiguang, and said, "Yes, Abbot!" β
Then the little monk turned around and said to the four people, "Our abbot won't accept you, so go out with me." β
The four young men rubbed the big bags on their heads with their hands, grinning one by one, but they didn't dare to scream, and the expressions on their faces looked very strange.
was beaten, but he didn't take them in as monks, which made them a little unwilling, but after looking at Zhiguang's big man, the four of them were thinking in their hearts, this big monk must not be able to provoke himself, so forget it.
So, they didn't dare to say anything, they all chose to admit it, and followed the little monk towards the outside.
After watching the little monk leave with the four young people, Monk Zhiguang looked at Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi again, and said, "Two donors, if you two want to burn incense, burn it here, and you don't have to go to the front hall." Anyway, any Buddha is worshipped. β
Xiao Ding and the others had no choice but to nod and agree. Walked to the table, picked up the high incense sticks placed on the table, took out three, lit them with fire, inserted them into the incense burner the size of a basin, and finally Xiaoding bowed to the Buddha statue three times.
It wasn't until Xiao Ding finished worshipping the Buddha that Master Zhiguang came to Xiao Ding's side, stretched out a palm the size of a fan, and said, "After burning the incense, pay the money." β
Xiao Ding took out a thousand lower grade spirit stones from the jade pendant space and put them on the futon on the ground.
After all, a thousand spirit stones are enough to have a small pile.
Monk Zhiguang stretched out his hand and put the small pile of spirit stones into his storage space, and then said to Xiao Ding and the others, "Don't you want to see the map?" Come, come with me! β
After speaking, he didn't care whether Xiao Ding and the others followed, and walked out of the door directly and walked in the direction of the courtyard on the back floor.
Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi had no choice but to walk out behind the big monk, not daring to fall behind.
The three of them kept walking towards the courtyard at the back.
After coming to a room called "Meditation Hall" in the back courtyard, Monk Zhiguang told Xiao Ding and the others to wait here for a while, and then he instructed the little monk standing at the door of the "Meditation Hall" and said: "Liuzhao, you go to the Scripture Pavilion and tell your Uncle Zhituo, who is guarding the Scripture Pavilion, and ask him to find out the map of Fengluan Continent that I drew at the beginning and bring it to me." β
The little monk known as the Six Summons responded and quickly retreated.
After Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi were let into the house, they found that the furnishings in this room were very simple, with only a long coffee table and a few futons on the ground, and there was not even a wooden bench in the house.
There is a teapot and a bowl on the coffee table, but unfortunately there is no tea in the pot.
The two of them were in the house, when they saw Monk Zhiguang turn around and walk back, he looked at the teapot on the table, and said, "Oh, I forgot, just let Liuzhao make a pot of tea first." β
After saying that, he also lifted the teapot on the table and poured it down. Only a small amount of tea base was poured out.
Zhiguang kept muttering in his mouth: "This can't work, I still have to ask Liuzhao to help change a pot of tea." As he spoke, he awkwardly put down the teapot in his hand.
Xiao Ding saw his embarrassed expression. He didn't expect that a great monk in his infancy would be embarrassed, and he would actually look naΓ―ve and cute.
So, he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, just wait for the sixth call to come back." β
Monk Zhiguang rolled his eyes at Xiao Ding and said, "Even if you don't want to wait, I have no other way, and I haven't made tea." β
Xiao Ding couldn't help but feel very funny when he saw that Zhiguang said it so naturally, but he wouldn't show it to his face. just smiled and said: "It's okay to wait, it's okay, it doesn't matter if you drink tea or not, as long as he can bring the map back." β
Monk Zhiguang asked strangely: "You two are so eager to see the map, do you have something urgent to do?" β
Xiao Ding nodded and said: "This map is very important to us, we are hunted down, and without a map, we can only run blindly like headless flies." If we had a map, we would have a purpose to escape. β
When Monk Zhiguang heard this, he glared at him and said, "In my place, I will see who dares to hunt you down!" Even if you are the Tian Xiaoding who is wanted by the Xiuzhen Alliance, I won't let those guys in Lingyunmen touch a single hair of you. β
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly and said, "Master Abbot, what you said is right, I am really the Tian Xiaoding who was hunted down by the Xiuzhen Alliance. The reason why he gave his name was because he felt that although this Master Zhiguang had a somewhat rude personality, he might not have any ill will towards him.
Sure enough, Monk Zhiguang was still a little surprised when he heard Xiao Ding report to his home.
Despite his surprise, Monk Zhiguang still nodded slightly approvingly and said, "Young man, you really have courage!" Dare to tell your true identity in front of me. β
The two were chatting when the little monk named Liuzhao, who had been sent away before, walked back. He carried a thick bamboo tube on his back, which looked very old from the outside.
Before and after coming to Monk Zhiguang, Liuzhao folded his hands, bent down to salute, and said: "Back to the abbot master, the disciple has gone to the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion to get the map, and ask the master to look at it." After speaking, he took off the thick bamboo tube from behind his back, held it in both hands, and held it up and handed it to Monk Zhiguang.
Monk Zhiguang took the bamboo tube, and then said, "Okay, you can go and help us make a pot of tea." β
Six summoned and went down with the teapot.
Monk Zhiguang opened the bamboo tube and took out a long shaft from it. Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi, at this time, their eyes have never left the long axis in Abbot Zhiguang's hand.
This long-axis scroll also looks very old, and it looks like it has been carefully framed.
I saw Monk Zhiguang, put the long axis flat on the coffee table, and slowly unfolded the picture scroll in his hand.
A huge map slowly unfolded in front of Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi's eyes.
The area of this map is not small, it is seven or eight feet long and more than three feet wide. It is marked with the locations of each city and township, as well as the locations of the Jianghu sect and so on. It seems to be detailed.
Xiao Ding looked at the past inch by inch, and kept forcibly remembering it in his mind.
He already has the ability to remember, but this memorization is usually time-bound, not permanent. It's that after remembering it in your head, you won't forget it for a short time. But if you don't use the memory of this piece for a long time, then it will be forgotten after a long time.
Otherwise, a person will experience all kinds of things every day in his life, and if everything that happens to him is remembered and recorded in the brain, then how much storage does the brain have to use?
After Xiao Ding knew that he couldn't buy this map from Zhiguang, he retreated, planning to look at this map, and then forcibly memorize it in his mind, and after leaving Lingyun Temple, he would redraw the map he had memorized in his mind. In this way, you will be able to copy a map of Fengluang Chau.
