"I want to be a brother to you!"

When the old monk said this, his expression was very solemn and his tone was very formal, and the blind could see that he was not joking.

This is outrageous.

What makes a ninety-eight-year-old grandfather and grandson not recognize him, but he has to recognize his brother?

There was a moment of silence in the conference room.

Wei Chaoyang pointed at himself, "Follow me?" Senior, you are ninety-eight, I am only twenty, and I am still a virtual age! It's just the first time we met today, and I'm going to worship my brother, wouldn't it be too hasty? ”

The problem is that there is a sentence in the line that the sworn brother wants to say, "I don't want to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but I want to die on the same day of the same month and year of the same year", and the old man will die next year!

The principal also reacted, "Old monk, you're not right, in terms of understanding, I'm the first, in terms of age, I'm comparable to you, and in terms of seniority, it's the same as the two of us, so please make an alliance with you, why don't you bow to me?" ”

The old monk said solemnly: "You don't know how to punch and kick, why should I bow to you?" This is the business of our martial arts practitioners, you don't mix blindly, he is your closed disciple, and he bows to me, what is the difference between you and me? ”

When the principal heard this, he said, "Oh, it's really a good thing that I've risen for nothing." ”

"You think too much, it's just that I bow to Wei Chaoyang, and we'll talk about the rest!" The old monk broke the illusion of the principal taking advantage, stared at Wei Chaoyang and said, "You bow to me and swear, you are a brother of life and death, all the power in my hands is at your disposal, and I can also allow you to serve as the protector of the Shamen, walk the world, you can borrow all the Buddhist temples to protect yourself, and even borrow the power of monks and soldiers!" ”

Yan Ruoning said: "It's no problem to worship brothers, but you can't say that you died on the same day, the same month, and the same year!" ”

Wei Chaoyang hurriedly nodded heavily.

The old monk laughed, "Don't worry, I won't take your little lover with me, since that's the case, then we'll hold a ceremony now, and everyone present can be a witness!" ”

As he spoke, he took a piece of paper from the conference table, folded it a few times, folded it into a paper incense burner, and then poured an incense burner soil into a flower pot on the windowsill nearby, pinched three flower stems and inserted them, put them on the windowsill, and waved to Wei Chaoyang: "We will pick up the soil for the stove and plant the grass for incense!" ”

Wei Chaoyang looked at Yan Ruoning, and then at the principal, and did not grind, he stepped forward and knelt side by side with the old monk in front of the paper incense burner.

"The emperor is above, the thick soil is the proof, today I Wei Xingguo/Wei Chaoyang, here to worship as brothers with different surnames, since then to help each other and love each other, like siblings, with one heart and one mind to kill demons, if there is a violation of this oath, the sky is thundering five thunders!"

As soon as he heard that the oath was a thunderbolt, Wei Chaoyang was immediately happy.

This is good, you can have it!

Immediately, he said it very loudly and categorically.

The old monk was very pleased to hear this, and said solemnly: "Brother, from now on, you will not live up to me, and I will not live up to you, you and I will join hands to walk on the right path, kill these demons and evil that are rampant in the world, and return this world to a peaceful world!" ”

Wei Chaoyang said: "No problem, if you squeak in the future, big brother, you don't need to be polite to me." ”

was about to get up, but was held down by the old monk, "You kneel first, and do the next ceremony together, so you don't have to kneel again." ”

After speaking, the old monk stood up, took off the baseball cap, put on the monk's robe, and immediately changed from a martial artist to a virtuous monk, pinched a string of Buddhist beads, pressed one palm on the top of Wei Chaoyang's head, and said: "The poor monk is useless, and now I am here to allow Wei Chaoyang to be the protector of Shamen, called Tiannan Layman, and there is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!" ”

announced the Buddha's name, and hung the Buddha beads around Wei Chaoyang's neck, "Get up, from now on, you are the recognized Shamen Protector of the Three Thousand Buddha Temples in East Asia." ”

"I'm the Shamen Protector? Do you recognize the three thousand Buddhist temples in East Asia? ”

Damn, this is more sloppy than swearing!

Just as he was muttering, the old monk took out his mobile phone and snapped a photo of him, "I will send your identity information and photo to the self-built APP of our East Asian Buddhist Dharma Protector Alliance, and you can face authenticate and identify you anywhere in the future." ”

Wei Chaoyang cautiously asked, "What kind of organization is this East Asian Buddhist Dharma Protector Alliance?" ”

There is also a face authentication APP, which can keep pace with the times.

"In order to protect my Buddhist classics, several old temples in China took the lead in setting up this Dharma Protector Alliance, the main purpose is to protect the Buddhist scriptures, and then continued to expand, to the latest annual meeting at the beginning of this year, there are already 3,217 member Buddhist temples, all over East Asia.

But you don't have to worry, now in the peaceful years, there is no need to work hard to protect the Buddhist scriptures, this alliance has been transformed into a comprehensive forum for mutual exchange of Buddhist experience, exchange of various information, and contact to hold large-scale water and land pujas, as for this Shamen Dharma protector has become an honorary position, a status symbol.

But don't underestimate this identity, how many rich people who believe in Buddhism can't ask for such an identity. ”

Wei Chaoyang felt like a dream.

After one night's hard work, his classmate Xiao Wei went from an ordinary ordinary freshman student to a closed disciple certified by the principal, not to mention, he also became a brother with a legendary figure, and became a Shamen protector!

This has to be replaced with a story in an online novel, such an identity achievement is achieved, and it has to be hundreds of thousands of words on the water, how can it be his turn to rush like this, and one guy will win three?

Wei Chaoyang asked worriedly: "Senior, such an important identity, can't everyone have a general election at the conference, will it not affect you so much?" ”

"Don't worry, I am the first protector of the alliance, and I have three recommendation and appointment authority, and your appointment is reasonable and legitimate, and no one will say anything. You see, everyone is giving me a thumbs up! ”

The old monk showed his phone to Wei Chaoyang.

There is a Weibo-like page, the content is a notice about the new appointment of the Shamen Protector, with Wei Chaoyang's name, gender identity information, and a photo just taken.

After such a while, thousands of likes, hundreds of forwards, and many messages, all kinds of languages, I don't understand very well, but several of them are very representative in Chinese.

"The useless master finally has a successor, congratulations."

"My Shamen Dharma Protector has been passed down endlessly, which is really a blessing for Buddhism."

"The useless master is wise, just look at this young man and be able to fight, next year's Buddha Treasure Competition, I think it will have to fall to Wenhui Temple again."

Wei Chaoyang hurriedly asked, "What the hell is the Buddha Treasure Competition?" ”

"There is a Buddha's phalange bone relic in the Wenhui room, you know. This is a Buddhist treasure, each family wants to worship, so the alliance has a Buddha treasure competition, each temple out of the contestants competition, the winner can be worshiped for three years. Although they have been worshipping in our temple all these years, they have never given up, just waiting for me to die or not be able to fight and earn again. This is because they are mistaken, and you are not from Wenhui Temple, so you can't participate on behalf of Wenhui Temple. ”

Wei Chaoyang was a little relieved, "This Shamen Protector, there is nothing else to do." ”

The old monk reassured him and assured him that nothing needed to be done.

After speaking, he took off his monk's robe, put on his baseball cap again, and urged: "Hurry up and go to see what the situation is with that Teng Wenyan." ”

Teng Wenyan's situation is actually nothing to see.

It's only been a few days, nothing has changed, he was tied to the hospital bed with a restraint belt, looking at the ceiling with his eyes, motionless, with a dead posture, Xiaobai squatted at the head of the bed and looked at him, full of melancholy, seeing Wei Chaoyang bringing people over, he greeted one by one weakly, "Wei Xian, Yan Beauty, Wei Da ...... Ay? Wei is big! ”

It looked up at the old monk, and it was quite surprised.

The old monk was also shocked, "Divine Bird Immortal Envoy, why are you here?" ”

Wei Chaoyang and Yan Ruoning glanced at each other, and then looked at Xiaobai, "Do you know Brother Wei?" ”

Xiaobai scratched his head, looked left and right, and dared to look at Wei Chaoyang, "I've seen two sides before, hehe, really, I've seen two sides in total, and I'm not very familiar." I'm just a bird that lives longer......"

"The two of us are nagging." Wei Chaoyang grabbed Xiaobai and walked out.

The old monk said in astonishment: "Brother Wei is very familiar with the immortal envoy? ”

Xiaobai said in a panic: "I'm not familiar with him, Wei Da, help me." ”

Wei Chaoyang pointed to himself, "I just married Brother Wei as brothers with different surnames, the two of us are one, what is there to ask me is the same as begging him." Brother Wei, you and Yan Yan first look at Senior Teng and chat with him. I had a private chat with my seniors. ”

couldn't help but say, holding Xiaobai, he found an empty ward where no one was there, put it on the hospital bed, stared at it and sneered, and didn't speak.

Xiaobai was so creepy with laughter that he shrank his head and said, "I'm really not familiar with him!" ”

"Brother Wei told me everything about you. I'd like to hear what you have to say right now! I don't understand, I don't care about you, but Senior Teng, you take it away now, and find a way to save it yourself. I was so naïve to believe in you as a thousand-year-old bird! ”

Wei Chaoyang came as soon as he opened his mouth, as if it was the real thing, anyway, it was a deception, to see if he could deceive something from the mouth of this demon bird with a crooked belly.

"I pointed out to him with good intentions, that woman is elusive, there must be something wrong. Back in the Ming Palace, if it weren't for her words, my partner might not have died. ”

Wei Chaoyang's heart jumped.

It turned out that the woman who saved Wei Xingguo was the one who appeared in the Ming Palace back then!

This is more than 600 years old, it is better than Teng Wenyan, who has a long lifespan, and he can really catch up with the land immortals!

Of course, the focus of this matter now is not on women, but on Xiaobai.

Listening to what it said, it was also on the scene when the arrest of Zhang Ben came out!

It's a coincidence that it's everywhere!

This demon bird has more secrets hidden in it than Teng Wenyan!

Wei Chaoyang quietly "hmm", "And then?" ”

Xiaobai said tentatively: "It's nothing, I saw him again later, and I happened to pass by......"

Wei Chaoyang asked: "Do you think the committee headquarters has more experience in treating the alienation of the life palace?" ”

"Don't, don't, Lao Teng was injured at that time, it was quite serious, even Changsheng was seriously injured at the age of the year, I was in a hurry, that woman suddenly came out to see me, and asked me to go to Wei Xingguo to do something, in exchange, she will save Lao Teng's life."

Wei Chaoyang stared at him and asked, "Why didn't she go to see Wei Xingguo herself?" She saved Wei Xingguo, isn't there any strength for him to speak like you? ”

She said that the shipment she gave to Wei Xingguo had not yet reached the recovery period, so she could not meet with her. However, I think she is afraid that deceiving Wei Xingguo will be exposed, which will damage her fairy character, so let me be a bird to take the blame! ”

Xiaobai was very indignant.

Wei Chaoyang said: "Why were you at the scene when the chapter book came out, and Lao Teng was also there?" ”

Xiao Bai turned his head and said with a little weakness: "Lao Teng is also here, if there is nothing special, he will come to Haicheng every year to observe the changes in Haicheng's ground transportation, measure the appropriate time, and prepare for the next competition."

Refining and fighting, what is important is the right time, place and people, Du Ping is based in Haicheng, Lao Teng can't stay here all the time, so he can only find an excuse to come once or twice a year. Supporting the Eight Great Families is also to provide him with the manpower, material and financial resources needed for the competition when necessary.

There is something special when the chapter book is released, called the Eight Streams Gathering Tribulation, with a special location and enough popularity, it is suitable for refining the fortune that is conducive to getting out of the predicament and fighting the Jedi.

At that time, Lao Teng was watching the battle in the house on the street, and it was said that someone was taking this opportunity to refine the luck. Later, we secretly inquired and learned that Zhang Ben was instructed at the time and route of his selection, and he spent 100,000 oceans in advance to seek a desperate fortune, thinking that he could escape.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and he ran into Wei Xingguo. At that time, Wei Xingguo's self-raised fortune was a first-line opportunity, just to restrain Zhang Ben's desperate situation.

At that time, Lao Teng and I thought that Wei Xing's appearance to intercept was probably pre-designed, and sure enough, we saw the woman appear later. Others only saw her appear to destroy the monster transformed by the alienated person in the life palace, but they didn't know that she then took away Zhang Benchu and Wei Xingguo's luck.

We inquired later and learned that the fortune and escape route of Zhang Ben were all given by the Qi family. At that time, the Qi family was not too successful, and they couldn't afford the kind of luck that happened in a desperate situation, so we guessed that Du Ping was actually helping Zhang Ben.

Back then, she used the mine workers to resist the Dongying devils in the first battle, and Zhang Benchu jumped up and down in this matter, making great contributions, and even won the medal of the Dongying devils, probably doing things for Du Ping. Although Du Ping is ruthless, he has contacts and never errands, and it is expected to help Zhang Ben at a critical moment.

These are all speculated by us afterwards based on the clues we inquired about, and the only thing that doesn't make sense is that the woman took Du Ping's luck, and Du Ping didn't show up. In terms of rarity, it is stronger than ordinary luck, Du Ping let the woman take away the desperate situation, either she has a tacit understanding with the woman, or she is afraid that the woman will not dare to show up.

I recognized that woman as the same person I had seen in the imperial palace during the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of years had passed, and her appearance and bearing had not changed at all, which made me feel particularly afraid.

Birth, old age, sickness and death are the principles of heaven and earth, and even if Lao Teng hunts a long life, he can't resist aging. How can a normal person go against heaven and earth and be truly immortal? I was afraid that Lao Teng would have the idea of using this woman's power to deal with Du Ping, so I didn't dare to say that I had seen this woman.

But I never expected that night, I went out for a stroll, I am a nocturnal animal, I can't stay at night, I want to catch some rats and snakes or something to fight the tooth sacrifice, but as soon as I went out, the woman appeared, she said that Wei Xingguo's life should not be extinguished, and he is destined to have great wealth, let me guide him.

How could I agree to such an inexplicable request, we are not very familiar with her, but she said that if I do her a favor, when Lao Teng's life is in danger in the future, I will come to save him once. I had no choice but to say yes. ”

Wei Chaoyang said suspiciously: "You agreed as soon as she said that?" Didn't Teng's predecessors have a long life? Why did she say that if her life is in danger, her life will be in danger? You believe her so much? ”

Xiaobai hung his head and said dejectedly: "She recognized me, so she would say that." When I was in the Ming Palace, my partner Hou Qi went to find someone desperately, and this woman told him that he would worry about his life, and if I promised to help her do something, she would save Hou Qi, how could I agree to this inexplicable request, and Hou Qi died. When she said this again, I was so frightened that I had to say yes to her. ”

Wei Chaoyang asked, "What did you tell Brother Wei?" ”

Xiaobai said: "Instruct him to go to Wenhui Temple to become a monk, and then dig out the Buddha bone relics, relying on this Buddha treasure, he will launch the Buddhist Classics Protection Alliance, with this status, everything is convenient and smooth." Later, he was able to have so many rubber plantations overseas, and it was through this identity that he obtained it through the power of local Buddhist temples. ”

It paused, and didn't wait for Wei Chaoyang to ask again, and then said: "That Buddha bone relic was found from the palace when the Jurchens destroyed Liao, and later on the eve of the Mongol annihilation, they buried that thing together with a large number of Buddhist scriptures. I was there at the time, so I knew the specifics. ”

Wei Chaoyang couldn't help but say, "How can you be present with so many things?" ”

Xiaobai said: "The refiner has always walked among the powerful kings, especially during the Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties, there were constant wars, and all the powerful families wanted to take refuge with good luck, and it was normal to see more hidden things." Luck this thing, has always been the powerful and wealthy can afford to enjoy, ordinary people either rely on the palace, or rely on the environment, whether they can get good luck, it all depends on God to open their eyes and reward it.

Luck this thing is also a snob, they need the corresponding life palace and environment to nourish, how can ordinary people have that condition and opportunity? Therefore, even if ordinary people have good luck for a while, they can't raise it, even if they are not targeted and taken away by those spirit master families, they will fly away by themselves after a long time! ”

Wei Chaoyang digested these contents and urged: "Go on, what about later?" ”

"Later, it was to fight with Du Ping and Huo Shen, Lao Teng lost his eyes, and he wanted to partner with Huo Shen to fight Du Ping, it was thirty-one years ago, you also know it. But there is one thing I didn't say, when Huo Shen died, Lao Teng was also seriously injured by a sneak attack by the unlucky dead, and the woman really appeared and saved Lao Teng.

It's been more than 30 years, and she hasn't changed at all, not that she hasn't gotten older, but she hasn't changed at all, you know? There has been no change at all, whether it is the appearance and clothing, the demeanor, or the tone of speech, there has been no change! It's as if time doesn't have any effect on her. ”

Speaking of this, Xiaobai couldn't help but shudder, after so many years of mentioning it, he still shuddered.

"The woman asked me to stop Wei Xingguo from contacting the dead man without luck, saying that he would definitely die if he got involved in this matter, but his life has not yet arrived, and his luck has not yet been raised, so he can't die now! At that time, Wei Xingguo relied on the martial arts hall and the security company to have an extremely sound intelligence network in Haicheng, and he knew about the unlucky death, and wanted to see if it was the murderer who killed their Tianwutang gang back then.

I'm going to stop him. At that time, he had already gone to Tianke University, and he had a conflict with the dead man without luck. He is really capable of fighting, killing three unlucky dead people in a row, and almost let the alienated life palace of the body be possessed. Thankfully, I arrived in time to save him. With the guidance of the first time and the help of the second time, he listened to me and honestly returned to Wenhui Temple.

I've only met him twice, and I've been forced by that woman, so there's really nothing else to do. ”

Xiaobai's tone was very sincere, his eyes were round and wide, and he looked like an honest bird.

Wei Chaoyang looked at Xiaobai and didn't speak, silently sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

Thirty-one years ago, the Haicheng Death Incident was obviously muddier than he imagined.

Which side is this mysterious woman on the bottom, and what is the purpose of appearing in Haicheng many times?

Also, was Zhou Chongzhen selected by accident to get involved in it and die?

"Since there's nothing more to say, let's go back."

Wei Chaoyang thought about it for a long time, and finally spoke.

Xiao Bai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and listened to Wei Chaoyang say: "We have just done a few experiments in the laboratory, and found some particularly interesting things, which are related to the Destiny Palace, if we can figure it out, we may be able to solve the problem of the alienation of the Destiny Palace by more scientific means." So Yan Yan proposed to take a look at the situation of Teng's seniors. ”

Xiaobai asked, "Then why did you run with Wei Xingguo?" ”

Wei Chaoyang said: "He is a partner with our principal, and the principal invited him to the laboratory to watch the experimental results. ”

Xiaobai said: "Wei Xingguo is almost 100 years old this year, can he still maintain such a good state, is it because of the luck related to the rejuvenation of the face?" ”

"It's a fortune called youth." Wei Chaoyang said, "He said that the woman gave him two choices, one was to be young, and the other was to ascend step by step, but he chose to be young." ”

Xiaobai said: "It's also good luck that youth is always there, how many people can't ask for it, that woman has a lot of good luck on hand, and I don't know where it all comes from." ”

Wei Chaoyang said casually: "There are billions of people on this earth, why can't they get some good luck if they want to." By the way, how can you meet her again after you make an appointment this time? ”

"She said she would come to me......"

Speaking of this, Xiaobai suddenly realized that something was wrong, his eyes widened, and he was about to flee with his wings.

Wei Chaoyang's eyes were quick, so he grabbed its neck, pressed it on the bed, and sneered: "Senior Xiaobai, you are not authentic." ”

Xiaobai struggled and said: "It's not that I don't say this, it's obvious that you haven't asked, you can't rely on me!" Besides, whether she comes to me or not, I can't control it, it's all up to others. That's what she said back then, who knows if it's true or not. ”

Wei Chaoyang sneered: "She has to appear just in time for Senior Teng and Du Ping to gamble every time, could it be a coincidence?" ”

Xiaobai defended: "How do I know this, I don't even know who she is, she said that she would come to me, and she decided after knowing about the gambling fight." She is pestering me, what can I do, I'm just a bird, I can't beat her with my hands, not to mention I don't have hands! You are amazing, you can endure it, when she came to me, you caught her and asked! ”

Wei Chaoyang said: "Senior Xiaobai, you don't have to change the topic with me. I'm talking about the woman's problem? I'm going to say that you're not telling the truth! How many secrets are you hiding and won't tell me! Was Senior Teng just hidden by you like this and made it like this? Where did the eyeball-drawn notebook on his desk come from? ”

"What notebook with eyeballs?" Xiaobai was stunned, "I don't know." ”

"Come here again, you're a bird, so you don't know anything, right, then let's go ask Senior Teng."

Wei Chaoyang lost his patience with this demon bird, and he didn't say much, and dragged it back to Teng Wenyan's ward.

Yan Ruoning and the old monk were sitting on the edge of the bed on the left and right, looking at Teng Wenyan in a daze.

Seeing Wei Chaoyang carrying Xiaobai over, Yan Ruoning said: "Senior Teng didn't react at all, like a vegetative person, when the life palace was alienated, was this reaction?" ”

Xiaobai opened his mouth to speak, but Wei Chaoyang pinched his mouth, "From now on, I don't want to hear anything from you." If you don't want to be honest with me, then don't say it again! ”

After speaking, he pulled the medical tape, wrapped its mouth around it firmly, and threw it into Yan Ruoning's arms.

Wei Chaoyang walked to the side of the bed, looked down at Teng Wenyan, who was motionless, and didn't say much, took out the notebook and shook it, "Senior Teng, where did this thing come from?" At that time, in the place where Du Ping hanged herself, there was no such book! ”

Teng Wenyan's eyes moved, and as the notebook moved, he let out a hoarse and weird laugh, "Where did it come from?" Wei Xian Envoy, this is what you gave me, have you forgotten? ”
