Chapter 984: Red

The cardinal archmage stopped.

Stood five steps in front of the two chasers.

His appearance is clearly visible.

He's a little fat.

Fat people usually don't look too old.

He was a monk, and if he had no hair, he had no gray hair.

Even the hand in which he held the tin staff was not as withered as the hands of other old men.

It's just that his eyebrows are a little long, and those long eyebrows are all white, which seems to be the traces of time left on him.

This also seems to be the only evidence that he is an old man.

Xu is this harmless appearance of humans and animals, or maybe it is the reason for the profundity of the Dharma in his belly, and the first feeling he gives to his whole person is not like a bad person!

Even because of his arrival, the extremely bright red on his body in the yellow of his eyes also gave the pursuit of life a warm illusion.

But the chase still holds the hilt of the sword.

His eyes were still staring at this kind-hearted old monk.

Zhao Hanyue seems to know this old monk.

He suddenly raised a hand and put it on his chest, and bowed to Zhao Hanyue:

"Amitabha!"

"The old man has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Zhao Hanyue was silent, but the chill on her face became heavier and heavier.

It wasn't until the old monk straightened up that she asked:

"A lonely monk who has never asked about the world...... Looks like you're going to break your vows this time? ”

The lonely monk smiled slightly and shook his head:

"A poor monk would rather spend his whole life lighting a lamp in front of the Buddha."

"Just like in the past decades, just like when His Royal Highness came to the Temple of Mercy and Grace with the emperor at the age of six to make a wish for incense."

"Poor monks serve in front of the Buddha, do not recite scriptures, but only happily light lamps in front of the Buddha for all donors."

Zhao Hanyue suddenly laughed.

"Hongu also remembers that interesting monk who has no quarrel with the world."

"But...... At that time, the state religion was Xilin Monastery, and the great master of the protector was the Nine Lights monk. ”

"That year, when the palace was six years old, it was also such a late autumn, and the palace went to the Temple of Mercy and Grace with his father, and you lit the lamp in the Temple of Mercy and Grace...... You are a monk of Xilin Monastery! ”

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have been the junior disciple of the National Teacher Nine Lights Great Monk!"

"Xilin Zen Monastery was destroyed by Donglin Zen Monastery two years ago, and I heard that the biggest reason is that the Great Monk of Nine Lights was injured in a battle with Wu Xichen, so he was taken advantage of by Donglin Zen Monastery!"

"I heard from the cardinal that many monks died in Xilin Monastery......"

Zhao Hanyue raised her eyes and looked at the lonely monk with disdain:

"At that time, you were already the red-clothed archmage of the Xilin Zen Temple, the Xilin Zen Temple was destroyed, instead of avenging the presiding abbot, you also took refuge in the Great Monk of the Donglin Zen Temple!"

"Actually, I've always wanted to ask you."

The lonely monk raised one hand again: "Your Highness, please ask!" ”

Zhao Hanyue's apricot eyes were cold, and she spit out a few cold words from her mouth:

"Are you at ease?"

The chaser on the side was listening, not because he was curious about these past events, he just wanted to find the best opportunity to use his sword!

The other party is a half-step Grand Master!

He's a realm down!

It seems that they are not far apart, but in fact they are like a chasm.

Like now.

The old monk was obviously talking to Princess Hanyue, he obviously didn't look at himself, but he felt that he had been watching him!

It's like he's got an extra pair of eyes.

Chasing life believes that as long as you use your sword, what will greet you is death!

He didn't give up.

He can only wait!

He believes that anyone will have a time to slacken.

He needed that opportunity, even in the blink of an eye.

Because his sword is fast!

His sword can chase life!

He now hoped that Princess Hanyue would be able to talk to the lonely monk more, and it was better to say something that would make the old monk's heart ripple.

I don't believe in Buddhism or God.

When he was a child, he begged the Buddha to worship many gods, but the Buddha did not respond to him.

God didn't look at him either.

Uncle Scarface doesn't believe it either, and even he looks down on the gods and Buddhas.

He said that if there are gods and Buddhas in the world, why do the people suffer so much?

Since the gods and Buddhas can't protect the people of the world, what's the use of worshipping them?

It's better to believe in the sword in your hand!

Chase the sword in your hand.

He also believed that the old monk on the other side would have a time when his heart was turbulent.

He's a monk!

It's not a Buddha who doesn't wave in ancient wells!

A monk is a human being, a Buddha......

The Buddha is a cold, lifeless thing carved of wood and clay!

"Are you at ease?"

If his heart is disturbed, it will definitely show flaws at this moment!

The hand holding the hilt of the sword tightened slightly, he would not let go of this best opportunity!

But

He still hasn't been able to draw his sword!

Because of the heart of the lonely monk, there seems to be no uneasiness!

There was a faint smile on his chubby face.

"The poor monk is lonely."

"Senior brother gave me this Dharma name when he gave me the precept book back then."

"Senior brother taught me martial arts and taught me Buddhism, and his kindness to poor monks...... In the heart of a poor monk, it is heavier than the Buddha! ”

"He fought with Wu Xichen, and the poor monk witnessed the whole process."

Although he defeated Wu Xichen by half a move and took Wu Xichen's life, he also hit Wu Xichen's sword...... It was indeed seriously injured. ”

"Donglin Zen Academy's intentions are unfavorable to Xilin Zen Academy, and Senior Brother actually knows it for a long time, after all, Senior Brother is the Great Master of Protecting the Country."

"But the senior brother still fought with Wu Xichen...... He said that it was an agreement, and since Wu Xichen came as promised, he could not break the contract. ”

"After my brother was injured, he told me to do something."

Princess Hanyue frowned: "What's the matter?" ”

"Protect your nephew and go to Wu to send Wu Xichen's ashes home!"

“…… You mean, you weren't in the Temple of Mercy and Grace when the Donglin Monastery besieged the Xilin Monastery? ”

The lonely monk bowed slightly:

"The poor monk secretly protected Bunian Master and Nephew all the way, until he was sent to the Jishan Temple in Ningguo."

"The poor monk didn't know that something would happen to the Xilin Zen Temple, and the poor monk appeared in the Jishan Temple, because the poor monk met a person in that temple!"

"Who?"

"Old man!"

"The poor monk never expected to meet the old man in that place! He is...... Silence Senior Brother! ”

Zhao Hanyue was taken aback: "Didn't you hear that he had already passed away?" ”

The lonely monk shook his head: "Originally, the poor monk also thought so, but when he saw him in Jishan Temple, the poor monk was too surprised so he involuntarily appeared and went to the temple." ”

"We sat and chatted in the peach forest of Jishan Temple for three days and three nights."

"When the poor monk returns to the Temple of Mercy and Grace......"

"Amitabha!"

The lonely monk sighed,

In this sigh, Chasing Life keenly captured the wave in his heart!

This is the best opportunity I've been waiting for!

He believed that even if his sword could not take the life of the lonely monk, it would definitely cause him some damage!

That's the opportunity!

One step is fast, one step is fast, even if he dies, if he can seriously injure this old bald donkey and let Princess Hanyue live, then his mission will be completed.

A silvery cold light suddenly flashed.

Pierced the lonely autumn on this empty field.

In the midst of a drab yellow, a touch of red flew up.

Obviously there is no wind.

The red was like a red butterfly fluttering in the wind.

Zhao Hanyue's eyes widened suddenly!
