Chapter 155: Is He Worshipping the Buddha, or Is He Worshipping His Murderous Desire?
Maybe it's because there is a rare sun hanging in the sky today, the winter wind has eased a lot, and the smoke from the distance is also scattered in the air.
Lu Jingzheng checked out with a smile, and the shopkeeper of the restaurant saluted Lu Jing again and again, saying these kind words in his mouth.
The shopkeeper naturally knows Lu Jing, and in today's Taixuanjing, most people have heard of Mr. Lu Jingxiao, who lives in the empty mountain lane of Yanglu Street.
The people around Yanglu Street have also seen Lu Jing going back and forth to the study building every day.
In addition, Lu Jing's appearance and temperament are unforgettable at a glance, and the shopkeeper and his guys who opened in the restaurant on Yanglu Street are naturally familiar with Lu Jing.
Lu Jing occasionally comes here to make two pots of deer wine, after all, the deer wine on the deer street, even in Taixuanjing, is quite famous.
The wine itself is indeed mellow and fragrant, soft in the throat, and can be regarded as a good wine.
The shopkeeper politely said that he didn't need Lu Jing to settle the bill, Lu Jing only finished the account with a smile, and then brought two pots of craft beer under the shopkeeper's kindness, and then walked out of the restaurant.
As soon as he went out, Li Yushi walked out of the small courtyard behind the restaurant with a gloomy face with a folding fan in his hand.
Wang Shouxiong, who was behind Li Yushi, held a knife in his right hand, always keeping his head down, not daring to look up at his son-in-law.
The chubby restaurant shopkeeper glanced at Li Yushi, and he didn't dare to look at this extraordinary nobleman anymore.
The reason is that the shopkeeper clearly saw that the third son of the Li family had blue and purple cheeks on his face, one eye was also bloodshot, and the surrounding eye sockets were full of black wounds, which looked quite embarrassed......
What happened in the small courtyard behind the restaurant?
The shopkeeper of this restaurant didn't dare to speculate, nor did he dare to look at the son of the Li family more, lest Li Yushi be annoyed and angry, and spread his anger on him.
Li Yushi's mind is naturally not on these little people.
He also walked out of the courtyard of the restaurant, looking at Lu Jing's always stable back from afar, his eyes flashing, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
The past few breaths of time.
Li Yushi still couldn't help but take a deep breath, the arrogance that he had cultivated in his heart for more than 20 years made him think of the events in the courtyard today, as if there was a fire burning in his heart, even if he thought about it, he never stopped.
"Land View ......"
Li Yushi repeated the name of Lu Jing in his heart, and narrowed his eyes slightly, but his eyes were in sharp pain.
"In everything, we must always pay attention to a courtesy." Li Yushi felt like this in his heart.
However, Lu Jing felt particularly happy, and his steps on Yanglu Street seemed much brisker.
He walked to Kongshan Alley and walked hundreds of steps forward, but saw two acquaintances walking towards him at the other end of Yanglu Street.
It was his neighbors Pei Yingui and Miss Hancai.
Pei Yingui has a pale white pear flower face, a light willow waist, and three thousand green silk are erected with a hairband at will, without powder, but the face has its own color. She and Hancai saw Lu Jing's figure from a distance, and it was rare that this time Pei Yingui took the initiative to stop and wait for Lu Jing at the mouth of the empty mountain alley. Lu Jing approached, with a smile on his face, and bowed his head towards the two.
"Jing Gongzi." Han Cai had some surprise in his eyes and said, "I didn't expect to meet you." ”
Pei Yingui glanced at his maid helplessly.
This is the mouth of the empty mountain alley, since they all live in this alley, they have the opportunity to meet on weekdays, so why should they be so surprised. "It just so happens that I made two pots of wine today, which are deer raising house brews, which are better than the deer wine sold in ordinary times.
Miss Pei and Miss Hancai happened to bring a pot back.
If it gets colder and colder today, you can warm up a pot of wine in the evening to make it warmer. ”
As Lu Jing spoke, he handed a pot of wine in his hand to Han Cai.
Han Cai looked sideways at Pei Yingui, a little hesitant.
Pei Yingui didn't hesitate at all, and thanked Lu Jing: "In this case, I will thank Gongzi Jing." ”
"Call me Lu Jing." Lu Jing's voice was still so peaceful, with a warm smile on his face, not impatient or impatient: "Since I am a neighbor and have known each other for a long time, Miss Pei has also helped me, but there is no need to call me a son from time to time." ”
Pei Yin thought for a while: "In this case, I will call you Mr. Lu Jing, you are Mr. Shulou, you are extremely knowledgeable, I may have to ask you for help in the future." ”
Before the assassination in Kongshan Alley, Lu Jing fainted in the alley, Pei Yin returned to help, and Qingyue, who had been guarding the wall all night......
Lu Jing naturally remembered these things, and at this time Pei Yingui spoke, although Lu Jing didn't know what Pei Yingui wanted him to help, he still bowed his head and agreed.
The three of them stood at the mouth of the empty mountain alley and talked to each other.
Behind Lu Jing, a carriage slowly drove by, the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he didn't even turn to look at the carriage.
But Pei Yingui's eyes flashed with a different color, and his eyes followed the carriage.
The carriage drove by, and someone lifted the curtain of the carriage, revealing a man sitting in it, looking at Lu Jing indifferently.
The man looked a little embarrassed, his hair was flowing loose, and his face was bruised, as if he had just been beaten badly.
But his eyes were very calm, only shining with a faint light, like a vicious wolf running in the dark and just locking on to its prey.
For some reason, even Pei Yingui felt that the man in the carriage hated Lu Jing very much.
At the same time, Pei Yingui sensed that around the carriage, there was a raging divine fire hidden in the void.
The divine fire was high, and he did not hide the murderous intent that permeated him...... The target of such killing intent was Lu Jing standing in front of them! "Mr. Lu Jing, who does it seem to have provoked?"
Pei Yingui thought so secretly in his heart.
And Lu Jing, who had always been silent, probably also sensed the bursts of killing intent from a Divine Fire Cultivator.
But to Pei Yingui's surprise, Lu Jing didn't intend to have the slightest patience, turned around, and whispered to the horse lane: "Master Yu, you haven't been out of Yanglu Street yet, you have to order your subordinates to be more restrained, this is too rude." ”
Lu Jing's voice was calm, and there was not much threat, and the smile on his face was still there, and he never restrained.
But when he said that.
In just a moment, the man in the carriage froze, withdrew his gaze from looking at Lu Jing, and lowered the curtain.
The surging killing intent also subsided in an instant, as if it had never appeared.
The carriage drifted away.
Lu Jing, Pei Yingui, and Han Cai entered the empty mountain alley together.
"Mr. Lu Jing, you seem to have offended some big guy."
Pei Yingui rarely took the initiative to speak, and said, "The exercises I practice are a little special, and I sense that there is a raging divine fire burning next to the carriage just now.
Be careful, he's not your average Divine Fire Monk. ”
Whether it is a martial arts or a primordial god, once you step into the sixth realm, each realm becomes quite long.
It is also a realm of divine fire, and there is a huge gap between the realm of the void where only one divine fire is lit to the third divine fire, and the extreme realm where the seventh, eighth, or even ninth divine fire is ignited.
And the black-clothed old man beside Li Yushi had obviously ignited more than seven divine fires, and he was a true Extreme Realm cultivator.
Pei Yingui kindly reminded Lu Jing with a smile and nodded, not wanting to say anything more.
On the contrary, the Hancai girl on the side glanced at Lu Jing with some suspicion, and then remembered the scars on the face of the noble son in the car, her eyes moved lightly, and she guessed: "Mr. Lu Jing, did you hit the wound on that person's face?"
Pei Yingui on the side also suddenly remembered the scene of Lu Jing dragging the corpse to Wulong Street that day, and thought of Lu Jing's words, the Shenhuo monk restrained his killing thoughts, and the man who looked at him fiercely also turned his head, as if he was afraid of Lu Jing.
She suddenly felt in her heart that there was indeed some possibility of Han Cai's guess.
Immediately, she saw that Lu Jing did not refute or admit it, and felt more and more that this matter was really like that.
"Maybe it's someone from the Li family." Pei Yin thought of the conflict between Lu Jing and the Xuandu Li family, and thought so in his heart.
When they arrived at the small courtyard at the entrance of Lu Jing, Lu Jing invited the two of them to sit down, Pei Yingui and Hancai didn't want to bother, they only said that they would have time to come back in the future, and now there are still some trivial matters.
Lu Jing naturally didn't force it, said goodbye to the two, and entered the courtyard.
At this time, it was already past noon, Lu Jing entered the courtyard and found that Qingyue was closing her eyes and exhaling on the futon in the main house.
Her breathing has obviously become much smoother, and her physique is healthier than before, and it snows in winter, and Qingyue walks in the snow, and she doesn't feel as cold as before.
But her talent doesn't seem to be suitable for cultivating martial arts, even if she has a method like the Great Snow Mountain True Xuangong, her body and bones have never made great progress.
Before Lu Jing
Entering Dali Temple, Qingyue left a heart palpitation, and occasionally committed, but the number of times has been much less.
Lu Jing entered the room and sat at the desk not far from Qingyue reading.
After a long time, Qingyue woke up from her concentration and saw that her young master had returned, and her face showed sincere joy.
"Young master, have you ever eaten noon?"
"After eating, I told you before, if I don't return at noon, you don't have to worry about me anymore, take care of yourself, if you don't want to cook, go to the street, buy some snacks to eat, the family's money is also in your hands, don't treat yourself badly."
"Got it." Qingyue blinked, and the two sat in the room chatting.
When chatting, Qing Yue asked about a difficult point in the Tuna method rarely, Lu Jing explained carefully several times, and Qing Yue understood.
"Young master, I was on the street this morning, and the bartender on the adjacent street said that he went to deliver wine to the soldiers on Wulong Street last night, and he saw you."
Qing Yue suddenly talked about this, and her face was a little lonely.
Lu Jing was also slightly stunned, and then understood, he made a big fanfare, dragged the corpse to Wulong Street, and made a fuss, which naturally spread in the streets and alleys.
Qingyue goes out every day to buy a family, and she always has to hear about it.
So the smile on Lu Jing's face became more and more gentle, and he was about to talk to Qingyue.
The lonely look in Qing Yue's eyes became more and more serious: "Young master, I once heard people say that the more brilliant people are, the more they will be involved in the turmoil.
The young master's body is shining, even in this huge Taixuanjing, even if it is the noble children of those big mansions, they can't suppress the brilliance of the young master.
Therefore, even if the young master wants to be calm, there are many trends coming, and these Qingyue are actually aware of them. ”
Lu Jing, who originally wanted to speak, immediately understood when he heard Qingyue, who always watched him go home on weekdays, say this......
These days, he has caused a lot of turmoil in this Taixuanjing, but Qingyue rarely asks him why he acted, and rarely asks about his whereabouts.
This is not because Qingyue plants flowers and practices calligraphy every day, cleans up the courtyard every day, cooks every day, and has never heard of Lu Jing.
Maybe...... Every thing about Lu Jing, as long as it spreads to the streets, Qingyue will always know.
But all along, Qingyue was reluctant to ask Lu Jing too much.
"Does the young master think Qingyue is too stupid?"
Today's Qing Yue's picturesque eyebrows and eyes were a little sad, and she looked at the dark courtyard at night: "Qing Yue is too ordinary, whether it is martial arts or Yuan Shen, I can't practice it well, even if I have been practicing this breathing method every day for the past few days, I haven't made much progress......
When Lu Jing heard Qing Yue's words, he subconsciously felt that Qing Yue was worried that she would become a drag on him.
But I didn't think about it, but Qing Yue said: "If my cultivation ability is better, if I can also practice swords or other weapons, and encounter some dangerous things in the future, I can stand by the young master's side, or hold a weapon and stand in front of the young master." ”
When Qing Yue said this, she probably suddenly remembered something, sighed and said: "For example, the young lady of the Nanguo Mansion is born to be a kendo wizard, if I have that talent, the young master will not go alone." ”
Only then did Lu Jing realize that Qingyue was talking a lot today, not worried about himself, but worried about his safety.
This is the sincere wish in Qingyue's heart...... I hope that I can have enough strength to protect Lu Jing.
So, Lu Jing's eyes when he looked at Qingyue became softer and softer, he gently rubbed Qingyue's hair, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be arrogant, you don't have to be radiant, and you don't have to be someone else, you just be yourself and stand behind me." ”
Lu Jing looked at Qingyue, turned his head to look at this small courtyard that was not very luxurious and not very wide, and said sincerely: "It is precisely because you are in this small courtyard, and because you are waiting for me, even if I go alone, it seems that I am carrying 100,000 male soldiers."
The spirit in my bosom is unmatched by you behind me. ”
Lu Jing's straightforward and fiery words fell into Qingyue's ears.
Qingyue looked at him stunned Lu Jing smiled at her, and between his hands, the wind and thunder moved together, illuminating this small courtyard, and building a flower in the air.
Lu Jing probed his hand and took off the suspension
The flowers floating in the air were handed to Qingyue.
Thunder surged on the flowers, and thunder appeared.
Qingyue was not afraid, just because it was handed to her by Lu Jing, she reached out and grabbed the rhizome of this thunder flower.
The light flickered, and many streamers lingered around Qingyue's hand, and the flowers that were not full suddenly unfolded, and the petals and leaves bloomed.
Qingyue's originally lonely eyes immediately became radiant, and she looked at the flowers in her hand in surprise, as if she had forgotten the loneliness of Fang Cai.
Lu Jing had a smile in his eyes, looking at Qingyue's elation.
As he said, he was in Taixuanjing, which seemed to be prosperous but full of cold, and for many reasons, he fell into a little turbulence.
But Lu Jing didn't feel difficult, the reason was that there were indeed many interesting people in this Taixuanjing, and there were also many people who had him in their hearts.
Maybe the light sword qi he cultivated and the spring thunder sword intent he cultivated were born because of this.
"Qingyue, Sheng Zi, Mr. Guanqi, Mr. Nine, Princess, Fengmian senior, Brother Xuanwu, Thirteen Princes, cousin, cousin...... There is also Uncle Chongshan in the Jokhang Temple......"
Lu Jing thought of a figure in his mind, and the smile in his eyes became much stronger.
Until he thought of Lu Chongshan, his heart moved, and said: "I haven't seen my uncle for a long time, find a leisure time in the future and go to the Jokhang Temple to see him." ”
Lu Jing thought so.
There is a Jokhang Temple on Jokhang Mountain.
The mountain looks like navy blue, and with many trees planted on the mountain, rough mountain scenery, deep canyons, and unpredictable mountain atmosphere, it is indeed an excellent viewing place.
At this time, it is winter, and most of the trees on the mountain are bare, so only the pine and cypress trees are dyed with some green.
And because of the heavy snow falling on the Jokhang Mountain, with these embellishments of greenery, it is like embellishing the white porcelain with a little green pattern. At this moment, in the middle of the mountains, in front of a small river.
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old monk was sitting on the shore with a homemade fishing rod in his hand, his eyes full of hope.
This little monk has clear eyebrows, two amber eyes are bright, and the eyes are quite agile when they move.
He was wearing a white monk's robe, which seemed to be white and flawless, and in the sunlight, it reflected the dense scriptures.
This little monk was fishing.
The river had long since frozen, but he had carved a hole.
"Senior Brother Shenxiu, are there really fish in the river in winter?"
Next to the fishing monk Shenxiu, a thin body, white face, and a little monk with a delicate face licked his lips, and held a bamboo basket in his hand, waiting for the Shenxiu monk to catch a fish.
"There's a fish, I saw it that day."
Monk Shenxiu was full of confidence: "And it is a big yellow croaker with a golden light, it must be fat and delicious, Chenghui, you just have to wait, senior brother will give you grilled fish to eat today." ”
Chenghui blinked, and swallowed his saliva when he thought of the fat big yellow croaker, although he didn't understand why there was a big yellow croaker in the river in winter.
But Senior Brother Shenxiu is the Buddha of Jokhang Temple, and he is also the senior brother and benefactor who picked him up.
Senior Brother Shenxiu said that if he can catch a big yellow croaker, he will definitely be able to, even if in the past ten days, Senior Brother Shenxiu has come here to fish every day, and he has caught nothing every day, it does not affect Chenghui to believe him.
After about a dozen breaths, Chenghui suddenly had a sad face, and peeked at the mountain peaks in the distance: "Senior brother, I always feel that someone is watching us.
If the host knows, we will secretly fish and eat here, and we will be punished by him. ”
Monk Shenxiu shook his head nonchalantly: "If you can really eat fish, what if you are scolded for a few words?" Since I returned to the Jokhang Temple, a bird has faded out of my mouth, and if I don't eat some meat, I have forgotten what meat tastes like. ”
Chenghui nodded first, then remembered the presiding officer's teachings, and said with some hesitation: "Senior brother, you are the Buddha of the Jokhang Temple, but if you kill and eat meat, wouldn't you have violated the Great Precept?"
"It's good to break the vows." Monk Shenxiu was quite calm: "If you are caught breaking the precepts, at most you will be driven down the mountain gate, and you will travel for a few months, and then I will take you to visit the Northwest Road, where it is said that the mutton ......."
When Monk Shenxiu said this, he suddenly stopped
He shook his head again.
Chenghui thought that the Shenxiu monk was afraid that people would hear it, but he heard the Shenxiu monk say: "There has been a mess in the Northwest Province recently, and it is not appropriate to go there, so go to the Nanhai Road and eat the fish, shrimp and crabs of the South China Sea, it must be very delicious." ”
Chenghui turned her head sideways and thought about it carefully, and there was more expectation in Xiumei's eyes, and she no longer tried to persuade Shenxiu monk to keep the precepts, and nodded lightly.
"Come, rub my brother's shoulder."
Monk Shenxiu was about to be tired of fishing, so he greeted casually, Chenghui did not hesitate, walked behind Shenxiu, and kneaded his shoulders for him.
And on the peaks in the distance.
Shi Nu presided over the old man of Nan who was wearing gold and silver, and watched the two fishing.
Nan Lao Guogong didn't say much.
The relieved host was still wearing the golden nine-tiao Sanghali, and his gentle face was full of sorrow: "How can it be good to raise such a rebel."
When I go west, how can he inherit the mantle of Jokhang Temple and carry forward the Tripitaka for me. ”
Nan Lao Guogong was a little helpless when he heard the tone of the relieved host, and he didn't say much, but said: "People who are talented and intelligent and have amazing talents have some unique temperaments.
Not to mention far away, for example, the Buddha of Landa Temple, who is about to return to Beijing, has always advocated killing to stop evil in his concept, and the practice is the Buddha with angry eyes.
For example, my eccentric sixth son, who does not love wealth or authority, only thinks about going south with a sword every day and looking at the mountains and rivers.
Another example...... Lu Jing acts in a disorderly manner, and many things are always done according to his temperament, but because of this, he has cultivated a breath of Haoran......
Shenxiu is still young, and with more guidance, you can always return on a different path. ”
When Nan Lao Guogong talked about Lu Jing, his expression was quite unnatural.
The host of Shi Nu naturally knew the reason, and he didn't want to poke the sore spot of the old man of the south, so he just folded his hands and said a Buddha name.
"Hundreds of thousands of methods, the same square inch, the river sand magic method, always in the heart source, there are many cultivators in the world, but whether it is cultivating the Yuan Shen, or cultivating the martial arts, in addition to cultivating the vitality and seeking the truth of the world, it is still a temperament.
Shenxiu's temperament is naturally very good, he has a heart to seek Buddha, and he can also understand the Dharma, but sometimes, his character is still too jumpy, and among the eight precepts, he can't get rid of a voracious precept. ”
Nan Lao Guogong didn't care: "If you can hold all the eight precepts, wouldn't you want to become a Buddha on the ground?"
The Buddha of Landa Temple has never held the precept of 'no killing intent, and thousands of Buddha monks in the world can't drag out one' no greed, the precept, compared with it, the problem of the greedy mouth of the little monk of Shenxiu, what is it?"
At this moment, the old man of Nan Guogong was quite sober and made it clear.
The relieved host pondered carefully, and then saluted to Nan Laoguo: "It's because I expect too much, and it's a kind of greed." ”
Nan Lao Guogong also sighed: "The so-called authorities are fascinated, for example, in my Nanguo Mansion, there have been many trivial things recently.
I also have many children and grandchildren, but the outstanding ones are unwilling to take over my huge national business, and Fengmian actually came to me yesterday to ask for resignation, saying that he wants to go to the world again.
He Yu has been absent-minded recently, and she is very twisted when she practices swords, and that feathered sword heart makes her extremely talented, but it seems to be restraining her.
Although Nan Xuehu is a concubine, he has the talent to command the army, but it is a pity that he wants to give the family business to He Yu, and he has no interest in running a business on weekdays, and the time to stop returning is short...... All of this made me feel tired. ”
In front of his friends for decades, Nan Lao Guogong finally did not continue to hide, and his face was full of fatigue.
When the relieved host heard these words, he didn't think much about it and said: "The old prince is also greedy, and he always wants to let the Guogong Mansion prosper like this forever. ”
"Isn't that human?" The gold and silver worn by the old man of Nan Guo were shining brightly in the sunlight: "The shade of my ancestors, coupled with the fact that I carried Juyue on my shoulders, laid such a foundation, if I don't look forward to the prosperity of Nanfu, do I still want to hope that Nanfu will decline?"
The relieved host shook his head: "No matter how grand the mansion is, it will not be prosperous for a hundred years."
Now there is Nanfeng Mian in the Nanguo Mansion, and there is Nanhe Rain, and even the Nanyue Elephant of the Southern Moon Elephant of the Sect of Shiism, and the Nanxue Tiger of the concubine are all extraordinary.
It's just that, as Guogong said, people have extraordinary characteristics and have some unique temperament, each with its own
Requested.
Because of this, Lao Guogong is actually not worried, with them in Nanfu, he will not perish, at most he will lose some business all over the world, why should he be so sad?"
When Nan Lao Guogong heard the words of the relieved host, he frowned, and thought carefully for a long time, but he didn't know if he had figured it out.
The two old men walked in the snow like this, and when they reached a high peak, they looked down.
But on the opposite side of the peak, a huge Buddha statue is built on the mountain, only afraid that it is twenty or thirty zhang high.
This Buddha statue is the Tibetan Buddha sculpture on which Jokhang Temple is famous.
The Great Tibetan Buddha carving is magnificent, the Buddha makes a treasure bottle seal, and there is a vast Buddha gas gushing out on the body, which is very mysterious.
Nan Lao Guogong stood on the peak, looking at the Tibetan Buddha statue opposite, his eyes gradually fell, but he saw that at the foot of the Buddha statue, a middle-aged Confucian student wearing a green shirt seemed to have just finished reading the Buddhist classics, and slowly bowed down to the Tibetan Buddha statue.
"Is it Lu Chongshan of the Lu Mansion?"
Nan Lao Guogong put his hands behind his back and looked condescendingly at the Lu Chongshan.
For some reason, this old man who was once majestic in the world, but felt that Lu Chongshan, who had no qi and blood and fluctuating vitality, was a little strange.
The relieved host also looked at Lu Chongshan and said with a smile: "It is a dusty Lu Chongshan, he has been in my Jokhang Temple for ten years.
Practice the Dharma and pay homage to the Buddha every day. ”
Nan Lao Guogong frowned, and his voice was old: "The Jiuhu Lu family has been silent for a long time, but these two generations are surprising.
In the past, there was a young man who was vigorous Lu Shenyuan, and now there is Lu Chongshan, who is proficient in Buddhism with a mortal body.
There is also a hidden crown princess in the East Palace, plus that Lu Jing, each of them is a character worth mentioning. ”
"It's just a pity that the Lu Mansion is not harmonious, otherwise there would be a prosperous atmosphere."
"The princess's bloodline is still in doubt." The host of Shi Nu smiled casually: "Lu Fu Lu Shenyuan is obsessed with the method of immortality, and this heavy mountain donor ......" The words of the host of Shi Nu stared at Lu Chongshan, who was worshipping the Buddha, and said no more.
Nan Lao Guogong glanced at Lu Chongshan, but felt that Lu Chongshan had obviously practiced Buddhism diligently for ten years, but he did not have the slightest appearance of a Buddha.
So he carefully looked at Fanlu Chongshan, and suddenly showed some surprise in his eyes.
He turned his head and asked the host of Shi Nu: "Is this Lu Chongshan worshipping the Buddha, or is he worshipping his own murderous desire?"
