Volume 1 This is not a reckless person in the rivers and lakes Chapter 20 Hopeless and full of tears
Cen Du knew that this person's martial arts were extraordinary, so he put away the thunder whip, respectfully stepped forward with his hands folded, bowed down and bowed: "Dare to ask the name of the Zen master, where is the abbot of the temple, and why is he here?"
Zen Master Kong Xuan did not hide his identity, and replied truthfully: "Amitabha, the old man's name is Kong Xuan, and he is the abbot and monk of the White Horse Temple built in this Anhuai Mansion. Don't let us covet the snow scroll, and leave quickly. ”
"Old monk, you have such a big breath!" The red-faced man himself held his breath, and when he heard this, he could no longer hold back the anger in his heart, and despite the desperate obstruction of the second and third children beside him, he stepped forward and scolded: "Old bald donkey! You are just a broken abbot of a broken Zen temple, what kind of face do you have to tell my four brothers to stop? What else do you talk about resolving grievances and jokes! Hugh points here and points, if you have the guts, you will come down and fight me for 300 rounds! If you can defeat me, I will obey you!"
"Fourth brother, fourth brother!" The second and third brothers had no choice but to give up. And Cen Xuan is not an ordinary person, his eyes drifted to the empty Xuan Zen master, Kong Xuan slowly opened his eyes, there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes, the two looked at each other, Cen Duan only felt that a strong internal force was overwhelming, and the old monk's body was covered with a faint golden light, and the sense of oppression fell on his head, making it difficult for him to breathe.
It was just a seemingly kind look, and Na Cen Du felt as if he had been pierced, and he was so shocked that he retreated half a step, and he knew that the old monk's martial arts were by no means comparable to the four of them.
But the red-faced man next to him was still shouting and insulting, and Cen Du was afraid that he would anger the Zen master and make it difficult for everyone to withdraw safely, so he turned around and slapped the red-faced man. This slap not only stunned the bare-faced person, but also made the second and third look at each other, and they didn't know what was going on.
Cen Di hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully apologized: "The little brother is ignorant and has no intention of offending the Zen master. Since the Zen master wants to intervene in this matter, then we, the juniors, have no choice but to comply. And so we departed. After that, he lowered his voice and turned to the three people behind him and said, "Don't go quickly!"
"Big brother!" the three of them were puzzled, and they were indignant in their hearts, and they were unwilling to leave. It can be seen that Cen Du's eyes flickered, his tone was unquestionable, and he had to give up after looking at each other. Sighing and shaking his head, he jumped up and stepped away. And Na Cen Di turned around and glanced at the empty Xuan Zen Master and Shen Cuttlefish lying on the ground, and had to quickly follow the figures of the brothers.
The three of them took a step first, and they couldn't help but discuss, and the red-faced man snorted coldly with disdain, and his words were full of dissatisfaction with Cen Du: "What's wrong with the eldest brother today?
The second child wearing a white mask then said: "The eldest brother is cautious by nature and never does things that he is not sure of, he must have other plans, so he asked us to retreat first." ”
"There is some truth in what the fourth child said. Even if the old monk is really a little bit pounded, but the four of us join forces, how can he be an opponent like us? The eldest brother is too cowardly this time, how have we four brothers ever suffered such a shame since we entered the WTO!" The third brother wearing the golden mask was also quite dissatisfied.
The three of them sighed and walked side by side, stepping on the tiles of the roof, and speeding through the night. Suddenly, I saw a person striding over his head, turning a somersault, and landing in front of him, so he stopped, and looked fixedly, but it was dim. Therefore, they bowed together: "Big brother." ”
What the three of them said, Cen Du heard it in his ears, and slowly turned around, without a trace of anger: "What, are you talking about mine again?" The second and third children all lowered their heads when they heard the words, but the fourth brother was straightforward and fast-talking, and stepped forward and said: "Big brother, what's wrong with you today? Since my four brothers entered the world, they have been invincible, and they are afraid of an old bald donkey like today!"
With that, he sighed heavily and lowered his head. And Cen Duan stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "What's the matter? Big Brother Fang just hurt you? Big Brother made amends to you, don't take it to heart." ”
The fourth child said disdainfully: "My own brother, if you fight, you will fight, it's nothing." I just can't get angry, can't the four of us join forces to beat the old bald donkey? Why did you run away in such a hurry?"
When Cen faint heard this, he also sighed, and said earnestly: "It's not that I'm timid, it's really that old monk who is unfathomable, I'm afraid that he has reached the realm of returning to the basics." His light power and internal strength are much higher than ours, and even I can't find out his bottom. How terrifying is this? The fourth brother is outspoken and reckless, and if he is really angered, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to get away today. You can't see it, so I don't blame you. ”
"But we just left, neither brought back the Shen cuttlefish, nor got the snow scroll, returned empty-handed, failed to complete the task, and was angry, how could we spare us?"
Cen Du said: "I have my own arrangements. As the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, and don't worry about running out of firewood. It's just that now although we have not been able to bring back Shen Cuttlefish and the Snow Scroll, we have also subverted the Shen family, and although we have lost many brothers, we have also seriously injured Shen Cuttlefish. Maybe we can make up for it. At the very least, we have saved the lives of the four brothers, and we can still serve the Lord in the future, and I think he will let us go. ”
He took a step back, turned around again, put his hands behind his back, and sighed in a very lonely tone: "If the Lord really wants to punish him, he will not let us go." I will bear all the guilt alone. Who made me the big brother? ”
"How can this be done? Our four brothers live and die together, even if we are punished, we should bear it together, how can we let the eldest brother bear all the responsibility?" The fourth brother said first, and the second and third brothers also stepped forward together when they heard this, and said: "Share it together!" Cen Du turned his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with crystal: "Okay! Good brother!"
With that, the four brothers looked at each other again, laughed twice, and walked side by side towards the west.
Let's say that the empty Xuan Zen master watched the four people walk away, fell from the roof lightly, looked at the Shen Mansion that had already turned into scorched earth, and sighed lightly: "Shen Yuanwai has accumulated virtue and done good deeds all his life, and there must be a Buddha to guide him, Amitabha Buddha, good and good." Seeing that it was not early, I had to carry the Shen cuttlefish on my shoulders first, jumped up again, and hurried towards the White Horse Temple.
When Shen cuttlefish woke up again, the chicken had already crowed three or four times. Rubbing his hot temples, he slowly opened his eyes, the surrounding arrangements were both familiar and unfamiliar, he sat cross-legged on the bed, looked around, and whispered: "Where am I......" His eyes fell on the huge word "Zen" hanging on the wall, and he was stunned.
It wasn't until someone pushed the door in that he came to his senses. Seeing a little novice with clear eyebrows and a copper basin entering the door, the scene was quite familiar. "It's time for the donor to wash up. ”
When Shen cuttlefish saw this scene, he suddenly realized and said to himself: "It turns out that I am in the White Horse Temple...... But last night was obviously ......" Shen cuttlefish gritted his teeth, thinking carefully about last night's events, but as soon as he moved his brain, his temples were like swords and bayonets, the pain was unbearable, his eyes were closed, he was sweating profusely, and finally he only vaguely remembered the four masked people.
"Little Master, please ask Zen Master Kongxuan to see you. Shen cuttlefish saw the little novice who was picking up chores, and suddenly said. Since he was in the White Horse Temple, it must have been Zen Master Kong Xuan who rescued him, and he must have been clear about what happened last night.
But the little novice took two steps back, folded his hands, bowed down and said, "The donor is still at his own convenience." Last night, the abbot rescued the donor, and it took a night of energy to heal the donor's injuries, and he was exhausted and resting, so it was inconvenient to disturb. The little monk retired. With that, he pushed the door open and walked away.
"Heal me ......" Shen Cuttlefish subconsciously moved his right arm, and sure enough, there was no pain at all, and he said happily: "When I practiced the frost and snow flying sword finger yesterday, I don't know why, my right arm was in pain. I'm afraid that I have damaged the meridians, and I don't want to feel all the pain today, so the old abbot must have healed my internal injuries. ”
Thinking of that martial art, he hurriedly touched the scroll in the snow hidden in his arms, and when his fingertips touched the rough scroll, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, the book is still there." Turning over and getting out of bed, I was about to wash up, but looking at the clear water in the copper basin, a sea of fire faintly appeared, and the servants, maids, old family members, familiar faces twisted in pain, disappeared in the raging flames.
was about to stagger his eyes, but he looked at Shen Shujian and his wife in the water, and the desperate and helpless eyes seemed to see through him, and seemed to blame him. Shen cuttlefish knelt in front of the copper basin in a panic, burst into tears, and cried bitterly: "Father-mother-"
Suddenly, Shen Cuttlefish held his head and slammed into the edge of the bed, wailing in pain, only to feel like an arrow, millions of needles pierced his head together, with a splitting headache, sweat on his forehead, and green tendons gushing, and only then did he recall everything that happened last night in his mind: the black-clothed man who slaughtered the family, the treacherous laughter in the raging fire, the killing of Shen Shujian and his wife by the Four Heavenly Kings, and the situation when he and Na Cen fainted.
When he heard the movement in the house, he hurriedly rushed into the meditation room, and when he saw him hit his head on the ground, he was shocked and frightened, for fear that he would do something stupid, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Donor! Donor, calm down!"
How could it be that the little novice was still young, and gradually lost his strength, and was pushed away by Shen cuttlefish, and watched him rush out of the door, rushing out of the White Horse Temple, and heading for the Shen Mansion. Xiao Shami sat on the ground, so helpless, he had to get up and run to the abbot's meditation room, but before he could take two steps, he bumped into a person.
Looking up, I saw that the great monk was standing upright, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, wearing a bright yellow monk's robe, and holding a string of purple and red Buddha beads in his hand. The eyes are like stars, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the eyes are handsome, and the appearance is extraordinary. The corners of his mouth are raised, his face is smiling, his eyes are bright, and he is clearly a statue of Buddha.
Xiao Shami didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "Visit Senior Brother Mingjue." ”
