57. Life is short

The seven monks who protected the temple searched around, but they couldn't find the slightest figure, even if they searched hard all night, they would not get any results.

At this moment, Li Guxing had already run to the mountain gate, put on a mask, and went to the Huanyi room to find a monk's robe and a monk's hat that was about the same size as himself.

He took a picture of the water tank, and he was able to see a dull little novice in front of him.

But after a closer look, I feel that it is not very appropriate, and the subtleties are still too perfunctory. Especially the pair of slanted eyebrows flying into the temples, quite heroic, and a little murderous, how can a little novice who rings the bell and recites the scriptures all day long have the appearance?

He was a little annoyed, and when he made a mask, he would always unconsciously make the mask more handsome to meet the young man's pursuit of beauty, even if he deliberately dressed himself ugly, he still unconsciously added some of his own characteristics to it.

"Don't show your face this way."

When he was annoyed, he caught a glimpse of needlework scissors out of the corner of his eye, and picked up the reflection on the water tank to revise and correct, and the mask was modified in three or two strokes.

At first glance this time, it has become unremarkable and very satisfying.

After observing for a while, he saw a group of monks walking briskly, so he followed and walked at the end.

The group of monks was quite impatient, as if something big had happened.

Li Guxing asked in a whisper: "Dare to ask Senior Brother, what happened in the temple?" ”

The novice beside him was very young, he looked like he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he was dozing off while walking, and when he heard someone asking, he raised his sleepy eyes and said impatiently: "I don't know either! ”

After the little novice said a word, he felt a little inappropriate, and raised his head to look at Li Guxing, "Are you new here?" ”

Li Guxing learned the appearance of a monk, folded his hands, and said in a low voice: "Amitabha, I was originally a child of a poor family under the mountain, and the master of the Maple Leaf Temple was highly respected, so my parents sent me up the mountain, so that I could have something to eat." ”

After hearing this, the little novice nodded, obviously believing this, and also evoked his chatterbox, and complained: "No, who comes here if there is something to eat." I was also sent up the mountain by my parents, just to make ends meet. ”

Such an honest little novice is Li Guxing's opponent, three times five divided by two, the three generations of the little novice ancestors are understood, and even the location of his family's ancestral tomb is clearly understood.

The more the two chatted, the more familiar they became, and Li Guxing hit the railway while it was hot: "Dare to ask where the abbot master is now?" Is something wrong with the master abbot that we're so flustered? ”

It was a great sin to talk about the abbot in the temple at will, and the little novice didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he shook his head and said, "Don't say it, I don't want to be taken by the Discipline Academy." ”

Li Guxing sneered, putting on a look of looking down on people, "If you don't say it, don't say it, like how rare I am, if you tell me, I won't tell others, I didn't expect you to be afraid of this and that at such an age." ”

The young man is most afraid of agitation, and the little novice has not long been introduced, and he has also read some superficial Buddhist scriptures, where do he understand the truth that the heart of the Buddha is like stopping water, seeing that he is looked down upon, the blood is surging straight to the top of his head, pulling Li Guxing, and saying fiercely: "What dare you not say!" ”

"Then you say."

Xiao Shami was ruthless, stomped his feet and said: "The abbot master lives in the innermost room of the temple, and I heard that someone has infiltrated the mountain gate tonight, and he is still the great enemy of the temple. ”

"The great enemy of this temple? Is Li Guxing right? He covered his mouth and asked, I don't know who revealed his whereabouts, could it be that Hai Dongqing's owner sold himself?

Xiao Shami said: "It seems that there is a person named Li Guxing who is coming, but it seems that he is not the only one who comes, I see that the master is scared, and the person who came is much more powerful than Li Guxing's thief." ”

Li Guxing thought in his heart, he had never heard of anyone in the rivers and lakes who had married Master Yongjue. Master Yongjue is highly respected, has good conduct, and even his father admires the five-body throw.

Moreover, the Maple Leaf Temple has only been re-established for a hundred years, and there are no precious objects coveted by the gangsters in the rivers and lakes, and the strong people here are like forests, even if they go to Shaolin to steal, it is better to come to the Maple Leaf Temple, and I don't know what Sun San defeated and worshiped under the Maple Leaf Temple to be a monk of Xinkong to Master Yongjue.

Seeing that Li Guxing was silent, the little novice suddenly became alert, and said sharply: "You swear not to leak what I said!" ”

Li Guxing was stunned for a moment, laughing secretly in his heart, but his face was extremely serious, he raised his three fingers, and said in a low voice: "There is a Buddha three feet above my head, I will definitely not say what you say to a third person again, otherwise my Buddha will come to crush me to death with a big palm!" ”

The little novice was very dissatisfied, and shook his head like a rattle.

"No, don't count, you don't even say your name, when the time comes, where does the Buddha know that he wants to shoot you, you have to bring your name!"

Li Guxing laughed, he felt that the little novice was very cute, and he didn't know whether he was really stupid or fake smart, Lang Lang Qiankun actually said such stupid things, and he couldn't afford to eat and was sent to the mountain, otherwise such a person would be in the rivers and lakes, and it would be difficult to live for a day.

"What are you laughing at, don't you talk about it?" Seeing his hesitation, Xiao Shami couldn't help but be angry.

Li Guxing said: "No, no, no, I will never tell anyone." I'll swear now. He raised three fingers again and said word by word: "I, Li Guxing, swear to the sky, if I tell the third person what you say, I will let the slap of the Buddha slap me!" ”

The little novice nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then his face changed, "What did you just say your name?" ”

The two of them talked secretly and delayed their journey, and they were far away from the group of monks at this moment.

Li Guxing didn't do anything, and reported his name, "Lao Tzu Xing doesn't change his name, he doesn't change his surname, and his surname is Li Guxing." With that, he turned out a palm and slashed at the back of the little novice's neck.

Little Shami felt that it was dark in front of him, and the world was spinning, and before he could scream, he fainted.

Li Guxing quietly dragged him into a room, feeling a little sorry, in order to avoid trouble, it was the best way to knock out this little novice.

He made a Buddhist salutation to the little novice, and found a futon to cover him, "Little brother, you are too real, I hope you can have a good dream tonight." ”

Turning around and leaving the house, he went straight to the depths of Maple Leaf Temple.

The monks in the Maple Leaf Temple were no longer as chaotic as they were at the beginning, and even calm and a little terrifying, Li Guxing was suspicious in his heart, "Could it be that the turmoil has subsided?" ”

It was a good thing for him that there was no one left and right, and he could take advantage of the dead of night to secretly find Master Yongjue and ask about something.

But he was still not at ease, so he randomly found a monk's dormitory (a place where monks sleep and rest), and listened carefully to the movements inside, but listened to the sound of snoring, one after another, and many monks should have fallen asleep.

But his vigilance was great, and there were only seven monks to protect the mountain gate, and compared to this kind of battle, the current calm seemed strange.

Afraid that there would be an ambush in this, he dipped his hand in saliva and gently poked open the window paper, and leaned on the window to look in.

But seeing many monks sleeping in their clothes, it was obvious that he was tired.

For a person like him who has been walking for a long time, he knows at a glance whether he is really asleep or fake asleep, and he immediately puts his heart in his stomach, but there is another question in his mind, what happened in the Maple Leaf Temple, and what did the monk Xinkong do?

He was impatient, anyway, he was wearing a monk's clothes, and he was not afraid of being discovered, so he immediately flew up to the eaves and went straight to Master Yongjue's monk's room.

Master Yongjue didn't seem to be asleep, and there was still a faint light burning in the monk's room, and the light reflected four figures, and the figures were elongated by the candlelight and reflected on the window, making their heads look big and long.

Li Guxing felt amused, and then remembered the monk's bright bald head, and teased in his heart: "With these four monks here, the room is much brighter." ”

Judging from the reflection, those monks are quite old, and they all have long beards, and they seem to be among the most respected in the Maple Leaf Temple.

With such a few senior monks, Li Guxing didn't dare to lie by the window and eavesdrop, hiding in a remote corner that was not easy to be discovered, waiting for a few people to leave before making plans.

This is most of the night, the time has passed, the hour is approaching, if you wait any longer, I am afraid that the sky will be white, and then at that time, I have the ability to go out of this maple leaf temple.

Looking at the old monk's room again, the reflection under the lamp was calm as usual, thinking that Master Yongjue was not injured in any way, and he was not in a hurry at this moment, and he had already made plans to go back in his heart.

It was better to come early than to come by chance, Li Guxing was about to leave, but the three monks came out of the room in turn.

He mustered himself and waited for a quarter of an hour, looked around, and after making sure that there was no one around, he dodged into the house.

But seeing Master Yongjue sitting still on the couch, standing with his right hand and holding the Buddha beads in his left hand to recite the scriptures in a low voice, Yu Li Guxing ignored it, as if a gust of wind came in.

Li Guxing fixed his body and took a closer look at the objects in the room, but saw that the furnishings in the room were simple, except for a couch and a set of tables and chairs, only the house was full of scriptures. Only a long knife, the handle of which hung on the wall in cold light, was incompatible with this monk's room.

Li Guxing took two breaths, he was nervous, and only after calming down again and again did he say to Master Yongjue: "Please forgive the junior who came to disturb Master Qingxiu." ”

Master Yongjue opened his eyes and looked at Li Guxing, and asked, "You are also here to kill me?" ”

Li Guxing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "No, no, no, master, I'...... I'm here to ask about something. ”

Master Yongjue sighed, flapped his palm, and his true qi was agitated, and a wooden stool was blown by this true qi, and it was moved to the position of Li Guxing's ass impartially.

"Since you are not here to kill the old man, then you are the master of Li Shi, please take a seat!"

Li Guxing trembled, how dare he sit down, took off the mask, and revealed the true face of Lushan.

"How did the Master know I was here tonight?"

Seeing Li Guxing's face, Master Yongjue's face was slightly angry, but seeing that he lowered his head and hurriedly recited the scriptures, the Buddhist beads in his hand were also turned quickly, obviously suppressing his anger.

It's not that he is not good at Buddhism, although he and Lin Feng are masters and apprentices, they are like father and son, and there is a father in the world who can see his son being forced to die and is indifferent, not all grievances and hatreds can be diluted by time.

When Li Guxing was chased and killed by the rivers and lakes, the Maple Leaf Temple was still neutral, and from this point of view, the monk Yongjue was worthy of the name of the master.

Suddenly, his hand stopped, the slight anger on his face had disappeared, and he became extremely kind and peaceful, and replied lightly: "All the causes and conditions in the world will meet, and others will know what you know." ”

Li Guxing folded his hands and bowed, "The master also knows that I am not here to harm you." ”

Master Yongjue said: "Harm or non-harm is all between the donor's thoughts, even if there is no intention of harming people before, it may not be possible that he will not do harm to others in the future." ”

“.......”

Li Guxing was speechless, and his unstingy temper surged up, and he sat on the stool with his legs crossed.

"You old monks always speak strangely, I have something important to ask you, for fear that you will die, and you will not be able to worry about it halfway, heaven and earth can be learned, you love to believe it or not, and you will be pulled down if you don't believe it."

Master Yongjue has excellent cultivation, and he doesn't get angry, just smiles faintly.

Li Guxing didn't have such a good temper, but after all, he had something to ask for, and his voice softened, "The master didn't suffer any injuries, I met Sun San when I went up the mountain, and this person has a very hateful reputation." ”

Master Yongjue said: "The injury is not serious, but it is not long." ”
