"Who are you?" The little monk said sharply.

Jiang Kai looked down at the short sleeves and shorts on his body, and was serious: "My Taoist priest, can't you see it?" ”

"Daoist?" The little monk's face was full of disbelief: "Sneaky, and you say that you are a Taoist priest, what about your Taoist robe?" ”

"Who wears a robe at home, and you wear a monk's robe at home?"

Jiang Kai smiled contemptuously, then suddenly remembered his past, and turned to himself:

"Yo, it seems to be true, for monks, getting up without wearing a monk's robe is like eating without chopsticks, it is absolutely impossible."

"Bold! How dare you humiliate me! ”

The little monk was furious, and it seemed that he was planning to do something.

Jiang Kai hurriedly stopped, and smiled and played a round: "No, no, just a little joke, Actually, I still have a good impression of Buddhism, I have a friend who used to grow up in the temple." ”

The little monk was obviously naïve and didn't know the sinister nature of the world, so he said suspiciously: "Really? ”

"Of course it's true."

Jiang Kai laughed: "Presumably you are also here to participate in the Daomen ceremony, come on, come on, sit here, and I'll communicate with you." ”

The little monk put away the posture of wanting to move, somehow, although the person in front of him was quite rude, but there was a feeling of closeness on his body, which made him feel very novel.

Because of his special physique, he will only feel close to people with Buddha rhyme since he was a child.

But the person in front of him is not necessarily a Taoist priest, but he is definitely not a monk, but it can make him feel that he is facing a Buddhist monk, which is really strange.

With the idea of finding out, the little monk and Jiang Kai sat on two rattan chairs outside a greenhouse.

The little monk was curious and a little vigilant at the same time: "Are you really a Taoist priest?" And do you really know the people of Buddhism? ”

"Of course, my friend has told me a lot about Buddhism, I don't believe you can ask casually, the more expert the better, I can't answer that you are amazing."

Jiang Kai replied with a big grin.

Count you awesome these four words, for the hundred-year-old man, down to the young boy, it seems to have magic, although there is no actual meaning, not even a bet, but it can arouse men's competitiveness to the greatest extent.

The little monk is no exception, but what surprises him is that whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or practice, there is no question that the other party can't answer, and even when it comes to Buddhist scriptures, the other party is like a treasure, and from time to time he can say some opinions that make him feel amazing.

This made the little monk suddenly feel good about this stranger who didn't look like a good person, and couldn't help asking: "How can you, a Taoist priest, know so much about Buddhism and Taoism?" ”

"This brings us to the question of self-improvement."

Jiang Kai smiled and said:

"Although I am a Taoist priest, I know very well that all the Taoism I am learning now is passed down from my ancestors, which is equivalent to me standing on the shoulders of my ancestors to see the world.

Although I was able to learn more at a younger age than the pioneers and pioneers, it was also very limiting.

Do you know what the limitations are? ”

The little monk was completely attracted by Jiang Kai's words, and subconsciously shook his head: "What is it?" ”

"The limitation is that I am always looking at the world through the eyes of a pioneer, and my thoughts, my ability to think, will be influenced by these old-timers, and this leads to the problem that I may gradually lose the ability to judge."

Jiang Kai told his own opinions:

"In this way, even if I have achievements in the future, the root is from these predecessors, and the height I can reach is also the height that these predecessors can achieve in the past.

Further up, I will encounter the same shackles, the same bottlenecks as them, why? ”

The little monk thought for a moment: "Because you just walked the same path they walked again." ”

"That's right! You're smart, you can do it at one point! ”

Jiang Kai snapped his fingers, and the little monk was inexplicably happy because he was praised.

But Jiang Kai's words were not finished, he continued: "So in order to overcome this problem, I must also become a pioneer, so in addition to the Taoist classics, I must also be exposed to other cultures, so that multiple cultures can collide with each other, so as to burst out new ideas."

So not only did I study Taoist scriptures, but I also studied Buddhist scriptures, Confucianism, and maybe martial arts in the future.

Because I believe that only in this way can we comprehend new realms from existing old knowledge. ”

"It's amazing." The little monk sincerely admired Jiang Kai.

"Since you have come to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you must have met other Taoist priests, have you found that the existing Taoist priests are very unhappy and unwelcoming to your arrival?"

The little monk nodded: "Found it." ”

"But I'm different." Jiang Kai's attitude was very friendly: "I welcome you very much, because I also know that my own research in the past was just on paper, behind closed doors, and I personally look forward to discussing the Tao with Buddhist monks."

For example, just now, my opinion on the Buddhist scriptures makes you feel convinced, it is a kind of affirmation of my efforts, on the contrary, if you refute me and point out the problem, maybe I will be a little frustrated, but I can also correct the mistakes that I have made, and I will not continue to make mistakes, right? ”

The little monk nodded: "You are the first person I feel worth making friends with since I left the Shaolin Temple, if other Taoist priests have such a mentality as you, then the Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate can live in harmony." ”

But how did he know that when Jiang Kai heard this, he showed compassion on his face and sighed, his tone full of regret.

"It's impossible, you would think that you are still very naïve, and you are still very pure like me, with only good and evil in your eyes, and you can't see the gray in the middle."

"What do you mean?" The little monk was puzzled.

Jiang Kai didn't explain, got up and walked to a medicine field not far away: "You come with me." ”

The little monk followed, and found that Jiang Kai had come to a bare medicine field, in which only a few yellowed elixirs remained.

Jiang Kai pointed to the yellow elixirs: "You go and try to pull them out." ”

The little monk hesitated a little: "It's not okay. ”

"It's okay, just listen to me, pull it out and you'll know what my words mean." Jiang Compassion is kind and seductive.

The little monk hesitated for a while, and then finally cautiously came to the elixir and reached out to pull it up.

The moment he pulled out the elixir, he seemed to have an understanding and froze in place.

After a long time, he finally took a deep breath and showed a sudden look on his face:

"I see! The elixir that was pulled out could not be planted again, because the roots had already been broken!

This is like the relationship between the Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate, which has broken all the rhizomes in the long history and cannot be restored, just like a torn paper cannot be restored, and a broken mirror cannot be reunited.

And I'm just because I'm young, this estrangement hasn't been deeply rooted in my heart, and the turmoil between Taoism and Buddhism hasn't affected us, and it hasn't broken the rhizome in our hearts, so I still have such fantasies! ”

The little monk turned his head excitedly, only to find that Jiang Kai was gone.

"Huh? What about people? ”

But before he could react, he saw Jiang Kai's figure appear in the distance, and he was also dragging a raunchy middle-aged Taoist priest.

After a flash of effort, the two came not far away, and the little monk wanted to beckon, but he was keenly aware that the atmosphere was wrong.

Jiang Kai, who was close and friendly before, seemed to be facing a great enemy at this time.

"Uncle Zhang, look! I said that there was really a monk who stole our family's elixir, you still don't believe it, Uncle Zhang, you can say something~"

One sentence almost burned the little monk's CPU, his eyes widened, and he looked at Jiang Kai in disbelief.

"Uncle Zhang, he's still glaring at me, he won't beat me, right?" Jiang Wei shrank behind Zhang Zezhi and quietly smiled proudly at the little monk.

That smile contained a lot of meanings - "I thought you were fishing, but I didn't expect it to be a real deception", "I was worried about what to do if I took so many elixirs, fortunately I had you", "I'm still too young, let's mix up with society for two more years".

The little monk wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start, he had never encountered this situation, his brain actually shut down at a certain moment, and the whole person was stunned.

Zhang Zezhi looked at Jiang Kai with a headache, and hinted vaguely: "Could it be some misunderstanding, this is a distinguished guest of Shaolin Temple." ”

"Shaolin Temple? Even the Great Lei Yin Temple can't steal anything! ”

Jiang Compassion pointed to the medicine field where the little monk was standing:

"You see, the dead elixir is not spared, uprooted, and there is not a stitch left everywhere it goes, is this still necessary?"

Zhang Zezhi looked at it, and couldn't help but "Ah?" "Yes.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the bare land, good guy, you don't say it's a medicine field, I haven't seen it yet.

Jiang Kai crossed his waist beside Zhang Zezhi and frantically slandered, constantly giving evidence to prove that the little monk stole things.

In the end, it was even more about the friendly relationship between the Taoist Gate and the Buddhist Gate, and Zhang Zezhi's expression gradually became solemn, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Zhang Zezhi lowered his voice and said solemnly to Jiang Kai: "This matter must not be spread outside, otherwise I am afraid there will be chaos." ”

"Don't worry! I know the weight. Jiang Kai nodded, glanced at the little monk who was still short-circuiting with disdain, and spat at the ground.

Speaking of which, Jiang Kai also miscalculated, the wool was all separated by a sheep, if he stole it from the medicine field, he might not be able to see it at all, but he didn't realize this problem until he had the whole medicine field.

Fortunately, with the timely rain of the little monk, he was able to hide from the sky and the sea.

All in all, Jiang Bao can fly with confidence, someone will carry it if something happens!

Maybe because Jiang Kai was crazy in front of Zhang Zezhi, it was a little noisy, and the Heavenly Master Ci'en and others who were discussing in the valley heard the movement and came out to check it together.

Seeing the Heavenly Master, Jiang Kai was obviously a little cowardly.

He originally felt that he had offended the Heavenly Master a little when he was saving face for the gatekeeper in the Heavenly Master's Palace, so he was embarrassed to pull out the elixir openly, but he was afraid that the crime would be added to the first rank, which would make the Heavenly Master unhappy.

Although this kind of thing is very important, it is impossible for the Heavenly Master to repent, and Wulei Dan will definitely give it after the matter is completed, but if he spits in the Dan and adds some boogers, and then says that it is originally like this, he can't tell the truth from the false.

In order to prevent this from happening, he pondered that he could get by.

can really see the main master, even Jiang Kai is a little weak-hearted.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zexing frowned and looked at Zhang Zezhi.

Zhang Zezhi laughed and said dryly: "It's not a big deal, it's . Well, this little apprentice of the abbot of Ci'en, perhaps thinking it was funny, pulled out some elixir from the medicine field, and happened to be seen by my junior brother. ”

Bro? Jiang Kai was stunned for a moment and looked at Zhang Zezhi.

Zhang Zezhi gave him a look, and Jiang Kai understood that this must be the identity that the Heavenly Master made up in order to allow him to participate in the Taoist ceremony.

The closed disciples of the Heavenly Master, they are quite platoonful.

Ci'en's face was not very good-looking, because the little monk was still in a daze with his mouth half-open in the bare medicine field, and he was still holding a yellow elixir in his hand, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he had obtained stolen goods.

"Xue Yuan, you disappointed me so much!"

The Heavenly Master smiled and started a round: "Children are curious, it's not a big deal, old friends don't get angry." ”

After that, he glanced at Jiang Kai with a smile: "Disciple, I and the abbot of Shaolin are going to discuss the Tao today, and I forgot to tell you, today's practice should be postponed for the time being, you go to practice by yourself first." ”

Jiang Kai saluted: "The apprentice knows." ”

After saying that, he left, and he didn't know what happened next.

When he came to the medicine field, he took out the hidden elixir from behind a rockery, and muttered to himself thoughtfully.

"It's still for the Heavenly Master to find out, tsk, ignoring that I shouldn't have appeared in the medicine field inexplicably, a serious mistake belongs to yes."

Lifting the elixir in the prepared black plastic bag, he staggered towards his courtyard.

"It doesn't matter, at least you can get by on face, does it matter who takes it?"

In the moonlight, in the small courtyard.

Ci'en sat on the stone bench, and in front of him was the little monk Xue Yuan, who was crying a handful of snot and tears.

"Master, I really didn't take it, it was really that person who tricked me into taking it."

Ci'en said with a distressed face: "Of course I know that it is not you, although you are stubborn by nature, easy to get angry, like to be lazy, and do not eat well, but the teacher knows that you will not steal." ”

Xue Yuan cried even louder.

"But why didn't you explain it before, and you couldn't say the name, it was all the truth, but it looked like it had just been made up."

Ci'en sighed.

"I'm nervous. I don't know what to say. Xue Yuan almost cried so much that he didn't come up for a breath.

Aggrieved, aggrieved, regretting that I was not angry at the critical moment.

As soon as I left the medicine field and was able to review the organizational language, this complex emotion came to me.

How could I just not say that, woo woo I'm rubbish.

"However, you said that the little Taoist priest is also proficient in Buddhism and Confucianism?" Ci'en suddenly mentioned Jiang Kai.

"Hmm." Xue Yuan wiped his tears and nodded: "His views on Buddhism are more refined and advanced than some uncles and uncles in the temple, he understands everything I say, but I don't understand the Taoism and Confucianism he says, listen to him, I will contact martial arts in the future." ”

"The four avenues are dabbled together, and the Heavenly Master has a very big plan." There was a little melancholy between Ci'en eyebrows.

"Master, what do you mean?" Xue Yuan is puzzled.

Ci'en said solemnly: "He may be your fierce rival in this Dao Sect ceremony!" ”

"He'll be there too?"

"Definitely!" Ci'en was very sure: "Do you remember a living legend I mentioned to you, Cao Zheng. ”

"I remember, the only half-immortal in the world." There was some yearning in Xue Yuan's eyes.

"It's hard to say if it's the only one, but at least it's the only one on the surface.

He is a half-immortal who has achieved by contacting the four great avenues, and the Heavenly Master may want to cultivate a second Cao Zheng. ”

Ci'en paused and comforted:

"But it doesn't matter, there is Xiao Cao Zheng in the Daomen, but there is you in the Buddhism Gate, the Buddha Heart of the Ten Worlds is no worse than the initiates of the Four Daos!"

"I'm going to beat him!" Xue Yuan gritted her teeth, full of determination.

He's going to beat that bastard who planted him to pieces!

At the same time, Jiang Kai, who was far away on the other side of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, sneezed.

His face was full of nervousness, and he didn't feel anything unusual about his body after waiting for a long time.

"I'll just say, I'm definitely immune to my own poison."

Jiang Kai rubbed the half-gnawed elixir in his hand, feeling the disappearance of emptiness brought about by the deliberate consumption of strength, he was very satisfied, and went crazy on the spot:

"Yay! When the time comes, if you don't have the strength to take drugs, you can just take the drug, and the storm inhales Shasha. ”

And he didn't realize at all that because of his casual blame, there was a big psychological shadow in the heart of a kind little monk.

This city, because of him, has one more sad person.

Baa, I'm used to it, it's eight thousand words, I can't go back, woo woo woo.
