Chapter 32: Secrecy

The five-fingered Zen master looked at the old man and said, "Master, please rest assured, Lan Feng, this kid has a kind heart, we can believe it." ”

At this point, the old man nodded slightly and said no more. Lan Feng is puzzled by the mystery of the old man, but he is always in awe. His eyes looked in the direction of the old man from time to time, naturally he couldn't hide it, and the old man also smiled at Lan Feng.

"Master, what did you just say to tell me?"

"Five fingers, you also know that your senior brother has quit his natural habit of drinking, and he has no intention of interfering in the affairs of the temple, nor does he want to participate in disputes. Wandering all day long, I know that in his heart, he still longs for freedom and unrestrainedness. Therefore, I don't ask him about it, and he will do everything. ”

"That's true, what you said is none other than Senior Brother ......"

"Not bad. Five fingers, you just came to this Dajinluan Temple, and some things have happened over the years. To make a long story short, I'm afraid my time is running out, and I don't want to hide it anymore. ”

"Master, please say that as long as the disciple can do it, he will definitely do it. ”

"That's very good. Here's how it goes: Your senior brother who quit went out on a wandering trip a few days ago and hasn't been back for a long time. I was worried about his safety, so I sent many disciples to look for him, but to no avail. Just when I thought I would never see him again, and everyone urged me to give up, I quit and came back scarred. I was also ecstatic at the time, knowing that he was still alive and would definitely come back. The teacher rescued him and let him recuperate in the meditation nunnery. But I didn't want to, this turned out to be the beginning of an unexpected disaster. All because he brought back one thing......"

"Is there such a thing? Senior brother has always been hard-hearted, and he will definitely be fine. But what exactly are you talking about, master?"

"It's a strange piece of jade that resembles tears, and if I'm not mistaken, it doesn't belong here, it should have something to do with that meteor shower, it's something foreign. ”

"Alien things, could it be that the place you are talking about is ———— Chaos Continent?"

"What? What do you say? You... How do you know about the Chaos Continent?" the old man said loudly with five fingers in disbelief.

"Master, don't get excited, don't be impatient. It's a long story, so let me talk to you about it. Lan Feng, this kid is from the Chaos Continent, although I don't know where he came from, but one thing is worth affirming, we must have a junction with the Chaos Continent here, and it will appear regularly, but the disciple still doesn't know where he is. ”

The old man listened to the words of the five fingers, calmed down, paused and said, "I have also thought twice about this matter, and I can't decide whether to tell you or not." Now that you know it all, I'll say it's okay. Although I don't know what you've been through over the years, how you managed to accept this apprentice. But I still have an obligation to remind you that he doesn't belong here after all, and staying by his side is always a hidden danger, so you should ...... it as soon as possible."

"Master, don't say any more. I have my own arrangements for this matter, and my apprentices will pay attention to it. Five fingers waved his hand and motioned for the old man not to continue.

"Alas, everything is providential. Since you can't escape, let it be. ”

"That thing should be in the abbot's house now, in his custody for the time being. Ever since he had brought that thing back from the abstinence, the abbot had been in retreat all day, tinkering with the piece of jade day and night. ”

"Heh, the abbot is bent on pursuing the martial realm, the broader sky, and naturally he will not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It's a pity, he is destined not to go to the Chaos Continent. The five-fingered Zen master looked at it and said with a slight mockery.

"Everyone has their own ambitions, but the abbot is indeed a little crazy. There are some things, why force them, in the end, it is not to suffer yourself and delay your life. It's a pity, people, I just can't see through it. ”

"Five Fingers, it's not too early, you should leave quickly. Quit should answer you, right? Don't worry, Lan Feng's matter, I will naturally keep it a secret for you. You must not let the abbot find out, if he finds out that Lan Feng is still a person from the Chaos Continent, he will definitely do whatever it takes, you don't forget that he will do anything for the sake of his ideals. ”

"Master, the apprentice will retire first. Take care and I'll be back. After speaking, he firmly turned his head and left, for fear that if he stayed for a moment longer, he would not be able to bear it, and his heart would hurt a little more.

After gently closing the door to make sure that no one was there, Wuzhi took Lan Feng and quickly left the Zen courtyard.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed on the roof, and he quietly jumped down from above, not knowing what he was thinking under the mask. Apparently, he had overheard the conversation between their master and apprentice.

"It's really hard to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get there. Hehe, Lan Feng. What a five-finger, you really didn't disappoint me, you really sent me a big surprise, hahaha......" The black shadow muttered to himself, and disappeared into the night.

At night, the moonlight is coldly reflected in the deep Zen courtyard, which looks particularly bleak.
