Volume 1 Study Tour Chapter 22 Old Monk and Watch the Wind and Clouds Rise
At night, Lin Mu was still asleep at this moment, but the Yellow Cliff Temple in Vantaa ushered in two uninvited guests, a black-clothed monk and a general covered in armor. The black-clothed monk had an ugly face and a pair of inverted triangular eyes, and if such people appeared in the downtown area on weekdays, the children would be scared and cry because of this. But the guarding monk of Huangya Temple has just undergone the baptism of the four masters and apprentices, and the black-clothed monk in front of him is just a little more vicious-looking, at least he is still a person, which is really not surprising.
Not only did the monk ignore the existence of the two, but the abbot of Rizen was also calm about the arrival of the two. The moment he saw the black-clothed monk, he even laughed, "If the donor had come earlier, he would have been able to catch up with the temple meal, but at this time, the meal had passed, and the two of them had to use some dry food they brought to satisfy their hunger." ”
The black-clothed monk's face was full of anger, and his already ugly face was a little worse. "Lizen, don't you know what the vajra pestle means to our monks, if it falls into the hands of others, aren't you afraid that this world will go through another catastrophe?"
Master Lizen still looked calm and breezy, and the black-clothed monk's question was obviously not on his heart.
"Don't indiscriminately paste gold for yourself, since you have already served the Yan Wangfu, why bother to call yourself a monk. The vajra has been in the hands of the old man for more than 30 years, and the old man still has no clue. In the long run, he still can't escape the end of passing this thing on to the next disciple when the old man dies. If the incense in the temple is prosperous, outsiders are just conspiracing, and if it is declining, I am afraid that even the Tallinn that enshrines the relics of the forerunners will not be able to keep it. ”
The black-clothed monk didn't laugh angrily, "Lizen, you deceive the world and steal fame, you are so calculating, how can you have a little relief from the monks?"
Master Lizen put down the rosary in his hand, "When the previous abbot conferred the position of head of the family to Lao Gao, he once said that the reason why Lao Gao chose Lao Gao was not because Lao Gao had profound Buddhism, and the senior brother with profound Buddhism could not manage this temple. Taking over the vajra means giving up the opportunity to achieve the golden body and choosing to mingle in this rolling red dust. After speaking, I recited Amitabha Buddha silently twice, and sure enough, what the master said was right, the poor monk's fighting spirit was still too strong, and he had no intention of fighting with him.
The black-clothed monk smiled, "Senior brother is open-minded, senior brother admires, I don't know what plan senior brother can have for handing over the vajra?" Regarding the change in the attitude of the black-clothed monk, the general who traveled with him was also calm, and his own military teacher and this Zen master were old acquaintances, but the way of greeting them was a little special, which was not surprising.
"I didn't have any plans, but I just borrowed the hand of the female donor and sent it to the ghost market, no matter who ends up in the end, it is difficult to bury this secret in the world. ”
The black-clothed monk said in his heart: This is too insincere. "The poor monk just wants to remind the senior brother not to forget the agreement between you and me. ”
"Since it is the old man's promise, the old man will naturally obey it to the end, but for King Yan, the demon sect behind him is the trouble of his henchmen, and the side of the couch will not allow the tiger to sleep soundly. ”
This old monk is so insincere, his own plan does not leak at all, and he still wants to spy on our information.
"King Yan will do his best to fight against the main altar of the Demon Sect on the same day, I heard that Lin Chongming has also built a palace in the main altar, such a rebellious act, how can King Yan tolerate him?"
In this way, King Yan and Lin Chongming should have been in secret contact, and this crusade is most likely an action with heavy thunder and small rain, of course, it is not excluded which of them has the intention of taking the opportunity to annex the other party. King Yan is powerful, and the Demon Sect is not bad, the history of the Demon Sect has exceeded a hundred years, and many encirclements and suppressions have not worked. Like a prince like King Yan who is well versed in military affairs, this crusade is just to attract the attention of the brother in Jinling, and his real plan can only be the high chair.
A person from the city like the black-clothed monk, since he said this news today, the natural action was also a few days ago, and the Demon Sect summoned the hall master with great momentum a few days ago, I am afraid that it was also a tacit move with King Yan this time. The form is treacherous, but you still have to be in all kinds of spirits.
"According to what the old man heard, in addition to the vajra on the body of this female donor, I am afraid that there are other objects that affect people's hearts, and there are many disciples in the Daomen who have followed this female donor all the way. Liming, if you are a game, how can you let this Taoist people stay out of the situation and watch us fight?"
The black-clothed monk said with a smile: "Senior Brother Lizen, I can't imagine that you can still remember the Dharma name of your junior brother, and since this is the case, we can talk about this unforgettable friendship with our fellow disciples." ”
It was only at this time that the two of them openly and honestly planned this game.
"Although I don't know what kind of object the door has lost, but looking at the enthusiasm of the Daomen at this time, it must be something amazing, what kind of clever plan does the junior brother have?"
The black-clothed monk looked at Master Lizen, "You have to have a head start, I don't know what the senior brother has arranged?"
"The female benefactor went to the ghost market of Jinmen, and naturally I was guarded by the monks of Huangya Temple in Wanta, day and night, and there would be no loss. ”
Liming monk secretly said in his heart: This old monk is not a fuel-efficient lamp, he just lays it out by himself, and also involves the Daomen, I can't say that there are some terrible things in the woman's hands, and I don't know how many forces want to disturb it this time.
"Since the female benefactor is protected by your family, it is naturally foolproof, but if it is to intercept and kill the people who are tracking the Daomen, it will inevitably fall behind. Since everyone wants the treasure, as long as the water in this pool is muddy, then sit and watch everyone fight, and we only need to sit and reap the profits. ”
"Although this plan is wonderful, I don't know how to lure these forces into the game?" Master Lizen was obviously interested in the scheme of the black-clothed monk, but what kind of means still needs to be considered, this method must not make outsiders suspect their heads, and they must really believe that someone has obtained the treasure.
"On the way here, there are spies to report, this female benefactor calligraphy and painting is extremely brilliant, in this town set up a suspicious array, before a scholar cracked, but this scholar did not take away this as a suspicious picture scroll, at this time the scroll has been in our grasp. All you need is Senior Brother to send some people to play a big show with us at will. ”
Lizen Zen Master nodded and said goodly, it seems that the Liming monk came today, just to determine his own attitude, and his own understanding of this game is just the icing on the cake.
"Senior brother, I don't know if my junior brother's arrangement can still be in your eyes?"
"The junior brother has a very good plan, and the foolish brother will watch the junior brother stir up the situation in the world and achieve supreme prestige. ”
The guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, but I don't know whether they were intentional or unintentional, until the black-clothed monk and the general left, and they were not able to eat in this temple, and finally the two of them just ate some dry food to deal with it and set out on the way home.
