Chapter 726: Elder
The temple is full of incense, and the good men and women have come here early, their backs pulling shadows on the long staircase, and holding a lifelike lotus lamp in their hands, the faint flames of which dance slightly, as if they will disappear at any time.
It seems to be a Maha-like ritual that as long as the devotees can walk up the mountain with such a lotus lantern in their hands and make offerings to the great gods, they will be safe and happy for the rest of the year.
Qin Ke was noncommittal about this kind of ritual, along the way, he saw the lotus lanterns in the hands of many people go out, and then went down the mountain in despair to refill the oil and start again, it is conceivable that the Maha messenger who sells lotus lanterns at the bottom of the mountain must have made a lot of money.
Between the stairs, he had already entered the interior of the temple, looking around along the bluestone pavement, and he didn't seem to feel anything unusual about this temple as he looked all the way.
"These Maha disciples who practice the exercises are quite good in cultivation. ”
Qin Ke looked at the few disciples who were standing on the edge of the cliff flipping and jumping, but their steps were steady and did not show any fear, they were wearing dark red monk's robes, and many places were stained with candle oil, once a believer saw these people, they all saluted respectfully.
"These are the masters of the temple, look at their clothes? These Maha-like disciples are all bright red, and these people have been serving the great gods for a long time, and their clothes are so hard that the incense is blackened. ”
Qin Ke, who was investigating with the technique of wind vision, heard the whispers of the believers on the side, and couldn't help but wonder, thinking to himself what is worthy of praise about this?
Even if he went to the restaurant to find a cook, he was sure that he would have a few old clothes blackened by the smoke and fire, could it be that it would be more noble because these people were offering incense?
Qin Ke shrugged his shoulders and continued to walk forward, his eyes half-closed as if in contemplation, but in fact, he was taking the entire temple sound into his mind.
This is a very draining practice, you must know that in this kind of crowded place, just the accumulation of talking voices is enough to make a person's brain swell, not to mention that everyone will have the sound of heartbeat, breathing, footsteps, and clothes rubbing, which together is like a monstrous flood.
Qin Ke breathed deeply, and could only rely on long-term practice to get rid of those useless voices as much as possible, hoping to find some clues from them.
Regrettably, he walked all the way, and even pretended to bow down to the idol in the main hall, but still failed to get any useful clues from anyone's mouth.
In disappointment, Qin Ke, who was a little tired, glanced at the huge and towering black-faced statue in front of him, but looked a little hideous, closed his eyes a little tiredly, and rubbed his somewhat tingling temples with two fingers.
These days, he was very tired, and today he had achieved nothing, which made him feel that there was little hope, and even gave birth to the idea of giving up, only to be quickly overshadowed by his persistence.
A good man like a tiger should not end up in a miserable end, even if it is better to find his body and bury it properly than to let him turn into a homeless wandering spirit in the wilderness.
"This good man, looking at you like this, is there any hidden illness in your body?" a calm voice with a little concern sounded in front of him.
Qin Ke was slightly stunned, and when he opened his eyes, he found that there was an old monk in a bright red robe standing in front of him, but his body was a little short and thin, with kind eyebrows, wrinkles and peaceful, and his eyes were full of concern.
"Oh, it's fine. After reacting, Qin Ke immediately folded his palms and said respectfully to the old monk, "It's just a little tired, just take a little rest." ”
The old monk still had a smile on his face, stretched out a hand and said, "The god has mercy on the world, we should take him as an example, and ask the good man to stretch out his hand, I have learned some medical skills, just so you can see the pulse." ”
For the kindness of others, Qin Ke has always been difficult to refuse, so naturally he honestly stretched out his hand and let the old monk hold his wrist.
It can be seen that the old monk's technique is very exquisite, and the appearance of the pulse is not weak at all Those famous doctors, only heard him close his eyes and feel the pulse, while muttering some words on his mouth, he smiled and said: "It seems that I am too worried, the body of the good man is far stronger than the average person, the pulse is majestic like the dawn of the sun, it seems that he is also a person in cultivation, although the Tao is different, but it can reach such a point, admire and admire." ”
Before Qin Ke could humbly respond a few words, he heard the old monk change his words and said: "But as far as I can see, there is nothing wrong with the good man's body, but there is a hidden illness in his heart, there must be something to worry about these days, right?" Is it looking for someone but can't find it?"
"How does the master know?" Qin Ke was slightly surprised, and then saluted respectfully, "I don't know the master's name, can you give me a lesson or two?"
"I don't dare to give advice. The old monk still looked so kind, and patted Qin Ke's hand lightly, "The monks have long since abandoned the name of the world, I serve the god in this temple, and everyone else calls me Elder Jinchi." ”
"It turned out to be an elder. Qin Ke nodded, but he didn't know that this title actually represented the owner of the entire temple, "I'm really looking for someone, I've spent a lot of effort these days, and there has been no news of him." ”
Elder Jin Chi smiled slightly, looking inscrutable, and said, "The person who can make the good man go to such great lengths to find must be very important to the good man. And although the god dwells in the stars, a pair of eyes can see the heavens and the earth in the rain, dew, thunder and lightning, just now the good man in front of the god three times, the god has already sensed the good man's wish, thinking that the person has been sent to the good man's side, but there is still something left, so that the good man can not see. ”
"So what's the gap?" Qin Ke looked at Elder Jin Chi and asked softly, "How do I get over those obstacles?" I don't even know...... He's not still alive. ”
A finger landed on Qin Ke's chest, and Elder Jin Chi said slowly: "It depends on what the good man thinks in his heart, the thoughts in each of our hearts are under the gaze of the god lord, and whether the good man can find that important person depends on whether you can believe in it." ”
"Convinced?"
"Convinced. If the good man does not give up in his heart, the god will naturally be moved and wave his hand to disperse the fog so that you can find that person. ”
Elder Jin Chi said this very definitely, probably because these monks did have such a belief in their hearts, believing that the great god they worshiped was really like the charity described in the scriptures, and would have mercy on the world and benefit all sentient beings.
However, for Qin Ke, such a statement is not so easy to believe, after all, he is deeply influenced by his master, so it is naturally difficult to be as fanatical as a monk, and even because he has seen saints and divine dragons, he has a vague fear of those untouchable existences.
It's just that when he heard the end, his eyes turned slightly, and he still sighed and saluted, "Thank you, Elder, I know." ”
When he walked out of the main hall, people were still coming, the whole temple was full of incense, and the monk in red walked past him in silence with his head bowed, and then the sound of chanting began to sound in the main hall.
Through the crowd, Qin Ke saw a lonely figure leaning on the railing, showing a girl's pretty face under the red hood, and from the position of the neckline and wrists, it seemed to be wearing leather armor, and the calluses on his hands and strong and powerful heart were telling Qin Ke that this was also a master who was not weaker than him.
Probably because of his gaze, the girl turned her head slowly, and there was no affection in her eyes, but a kind of vigilance as if she had been violated, and you could see that the girl's limbs had been tightened, and her back was slightly bent, like a bow ready to strike, and it could come out of the string at any moment.
Qin Ke didn't know her, but he also felt a little confused about his vigilance, and just as he wanted to step forward to ask, the sound of eager footsteps interrupted him.
"Ah Ke!" Abu obviously came all the way, his clothes were already wet with sweat, and the action of pushing away the crowd also made the people around him a little dissatisfied, but he didn't care about it, just shouted at Qin Ke, "Something happened." ”
Qin Ke's heart sank, and he didn't speak, but quickly followed Abu out of the temple and ran towards the bottom of the mountain.
