Three-seven-three: Rivals
In the dead of night.\\
Cheng Jun sat in the field, the night wind blew, but it was also cool.
Revisiting the old place, the wind seems to be a familiar taste.
They were still near the hut arranged by Xuandao, since Cheng Jun decided to watch the ceremony, he naturally would not go far, but it was also inconvenient for Lu Lingxuan to live in Wanma Temple, so she simply lived in the house that Xuandao disposed of. However, Lu Lingxuan lived inside, and Cheng Jun was alone outside.
The monk did not avoid suspicion, and since they were in the same door, it was nothing to be in the same room. The reason why Cheng Jun came out was that he didn't want to add to his troubles when Lu Lingxuan was sad - just now he euphemistically told him about the situation in Jiuyan Mountain. Although he emphasized that the person who saved her, that is, Xuan Dao, was ill-intentioned and deserved to die, he could not hide the fact that Zhu Yu had passed away. Lu Lingxuan was deeply shocked after hearing this, and she couldn't support it anymore. Although Cheng Jun didn't want to report the funeral, he could only tell her the bad news in person, but it was better than her being in the dark and being a gun in someone's hands. Lu Lingxuan is really suitable for being a chess piece, and Cheng Jun doesn't want to see such a situation happen.
And his other purpose for appearing outside is just to see if he can wait for someone.
"Uncle Shi?"
Cheng Jun turned around and saw that Kong Ren was wearing a gray monk's robe, and he saluted in the moonlight.
Cheng Jun replied with a smile: "Uncle Shi's words were originally a joke that day, what else did you mention him?"
When he left during the day, Kunin gave him a look and signaled that he would come back to him at night, and he waited here. Sure enough, it waited for him.
Kong Ren smiled and said, "What is the name of Uncle Shi if you don't call it, you are my elder, if I call you senior." That's a long way off. He walked over at the moment and said, "If there is no predecessor, there will be no current empty forbearance, do you need to say more?"
Cheng Jun smiled, pointed to the forest, and said, "Go away and talk." He didn't want to alarm Lu Lingxuan, and he didn't want Lu Lingxuan to know many things about his past.
The two of them walked through the woods. Needless to say, this forest is familiar with it, and Cheng Jun also feels very cordial, although he still can't recognize the way. But seeing a piece of grass and trees is familiar.
After walking for a while, Kong Shinobi turned his head and smiled: "Look, there is still the broken temple where I live on the slope over there." It's just that I asked someone to renovate it. Dedicated to a white bone god grandfather. Now it is also the property of Manma Temple. ”
Cheng Jun took advantage of the night, and sure enough, he saw a small temple on the ridge, and said: "After ten years, even the temple has been renewed." "Xindao: What white bone god? It's the old guy of the old devil, he eats incense before he dies, and he is not afraid of losing his life. Seeing that there was a clearing at the bottom of the slope, he stopped, nodded and smiled: "It's always been good?
Sora Shinobu also stopped and said, "It's good to say, it's not good." "Speaking of which. With a look of triumph on his face, he said, "Uncle Shi will be able to see it in two days, and our Wanma Temple is no longer what it was yesterday." Now there are at least more than 1,000 monks and more than 300 Buddhas in the whole temple, and the incense is also vigorous. Even surpassed the Yuankong Lower Courtyard, I think it should be regarded as living up to the original generous master's entrustment. ”
Cheng Jun raised his thumb and praised: "It's really good." I knew you were a great abbot. Presumably you have already done what Master Dafang told you to do?"
Kong Ren frowned and said: "Reorganize the temple, continue the incense, and then ask yourself for a little merit." It's just that there are still some tails in cleaning up the portal, and there is another person, who is the most valued disciple of Master Dafang. Dharma name emptiness. This person is extremely evil, not only betraying the teacher, but also colluding with the demon monk to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor. Master personally explained to me that if the other disciples sincerely repented, they could give them a path to rehabilitation. This alone will not be spared. But I never got rid of him. ”
Cheng Jun said: "That emptiness is tricky?"
Kong Ren said: "His cultivation is not bad, but the most powerful thing is that he colluded with many demon monks, learned some evil methods, and the strong reinforcements in his hands even surpassed me." At the beginning, he had the intention of plotting for the position of abbot, but he didn't take me seriously, and often came to the door, so he attacked me and defended me. But I'm not bad. He came once, I beat him once, and I saw that he was beaten over, and the demon cultivators around him were uprooted by me one by one, leaving him alone. He figured it out. If I don't want the abbot's position, I don't do evil anymore, and I concentrate on doing penance in the mountains, then I can't help it. You can't go to the mountains every day to find him, can you?"
Sighing, Sora Shinobi said: "I have been looking for him for ten years, and Wanma Temple has been waiting for him for ten years." Now I can wait, Wanma Temple can't wait. I had to contact Yuankong Zen Monastery first. The Yuankong Zen Temple has now taken over the Wanma Temple, so I naturally have to obey the orders, but I can't fail to do what I need to do. I guess they won't even stop revenge. ”
Cheng Jun nodded and said: "It's a great luck in misfortune, that Master Shenjin doesn't seem to be an ambitious person, and he is not in a hurry to seize power. He is dead in vain, and he should have much trust in you in the north. You still have many opportunities. ”
Kong Ren nodded, and felt that these words were too deep and too sinister, smiled a little uncomfortably, and said: "Since the Zen Academy has sent people down, it should not be that we will return to the Tianfu Buddha Kingdom." In fact, I know that most of the people in the temple are not willing to leave their homes. To be able to cultivate Buddhism in the north and have the inheritance from heaven is the best. I've always thought so, but lately, I've always felt like I should find a way to leave?"
Cheng Jun said: "Why do you think so?"
Kongnin's expression sank, and he said in a condensed voice: "I think the northern country seems to be a little unsafe. Recently, there has been one major event after another in the monastic world, and even the Wanma Temple is not quiet. If this continues, will we be affected? Do you want to avoid it?" He wanted to see Cheng Jun, in addition to reminiscing about the past, he was to ask him about this most important matter, in his opinion, Cheng Jun was a person in the Daomen, and he was so good, he must know more than himself.
Cheng Jun was surprised -- Even the Wanma Temple knew about the chaos in the northern country? But he was also relieved that the affairs in the northern country were not only high-level changes, but also real murder and extermination, and who could not know? The Wanma Temple was not the original Wanma Temple, and since there were thousands of monks, how could they live in seclusion deep in the mountains and not understand the world? The empty forbearance is intelligent, and some speculations are not surprising. "In my opinion, your concerns are justified. The northern kingdom is about to be in turmoil, the gods are fighting, the mortals are suffering, and the monks are also suffering. Even if you hide in the mountains, you can't be alone. It is also a way to temporarily lead the crowd to leave and go to the Buddha Kingdom of Tianfu. There is the blessing of Yuankong Zen Temple, and it should be safe. ”
The reason why the empty forbearance is persuaded to leave, firstly, there is indeed chaos in the north - even if the above does not move for the time being, Zhu Yu has damaged the boundary gate, the long is three or five years, and the short is one and a half years, the boundary gate will collapse, and when the Kunlun Lingshan is connected, it will be fought without fighting.
On the other hand, Cheng Jun asked him to hide from Xuandao.
The distraction of Xuandao was extinguished by Cheng Jun, and the killing was clean, and there was no aftermath left. Cheng Jun himself was also a character who had cultivated the primordial god and incarnated the distraction god, how could he not know the truth of cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and not leaving the slightest trace for the deity? He dared to guarantee that under his sword light, the Xuandao far away in Yanyun would never detect a clue.
But even so, Cheng Jun still can't say sit back and relax.
Everyone has a special sense of their own distraction, even if they are completely out of control, there is still some intuition to be deceived, this is the so-called "mind and soul". The higher the cultivation, the stronger the inspiration. A person like Xuan Dao, even if he doesn't give him a clue, he may come to him purely by feeling. It's not necessarily accurate, but it's often good in the general direction. Maybe one day, you'll find this place.
When the time comes, Cheng Jun led people to pat their butts and go to Penglai, what should I do with the Ten Thousand Horse Temple? With the character of Xuandao, wouldn't it be as common as a commonplace for Zhu Lian to move his anger?
Therefore, Cheng Jun deliberately made the situation more urgent, and let Kong Ren defect to the Buddha country.
Hearing this, Kong Ren really believed it, his brows furrowed more and more, and said, "I leave Wanma Temple, naturally there is no problem." Take the Buddha with you, and there is no problem. But there are still many ordinary monks, mortal in the flesh, who cannot travel long distances, and are dismissed on the spot, and they have nowhere to go. So what to do?"
Cheng Jun didn't answer, reminding the empty forbearance, and even saving the empty forbearance at a critical moment was his responsibility, but the lives of the monks in the temple were the responsibility of the empty forbearance. As the abbot of a temple, Kongren does not need others to act on his behalf.
Kong Ren really thought about it himself, and muttered: "Just ......" As soon as the words fell, Cheng Jun suddenly made a boo gesture and said, "There are people over there." ”
Kong Ren hurriedly turned around, only to see two figures, one tall and one short, coming from the forest, their bodies were extremely agile, and their aura fluctuated, obviously they were all monks, and they couldn't help frowning--this Wanma Mountain was already the dojo of Wanma Temple, and there were no other monk portals for thousands of miles around, so what was the way for the monks who suddenly came from? Otherwise, it was a monk who passed by like Lu Lingxuan, or else--the direction they came from, but the direction of Wanma Temple.
The two figures came towards them, and Cheng Jun and Kong Ren each took a step back and hid in the shadows. I saw that the two of them did not stop, ran all the way up the hill, and had already entered the ruined temple that had been renovated by the empty ninja.
Kong Ren said softly: "Look at the body method, at least one of them is higher than my cultivation." ”
Cheng Jun only said what he meant, and said, "At least one of them is an acquaintance." Seeing that Kong Shinobi was about to follow him, he grabbed him and said, "It doesn't have to be like this. With a little finger, a water curtain has been formed in front of him, and the scene in the temple is clearly shown in the water curtain, which is the technique of mirroring flowers and water moons. He casually sprinkled another illusion to cover the traces of the light in the night, and by the way, he obscured the figures of the two of them.
I saw two people in the temple facing each other from afar, one of them, as Cheng Jun said, was an acquaintance - Yuankong Zen Monastery Shenjin, who had taken off his golden silk robe and was only wearing an earth-colored monk's robe, just like an ordinary old monk.
The other person was actually a monk, who didn't seem to be very old, dressed in a black monk's robe, and his cheeks were emaciated, and he had a bit of a skeleton smell.
When Sora Shinobi saw this, he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and said, "It's him! Okay, I was about to look for him, but he came under my nose! If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
