The crowd dispersed, and only Lin Zongbian and Master Tongze were left in the square of Nuoda.

Master Tongze looked at Lin Zongbian and asked tentatively, "Zongbian, have you really dedicated the Sujing to the Son of Heaven?"

Lin Zongbian looked up at the sky, but closed his eyes again, and sighed helplessly: "Yes, the news will be sent soon..."

Master Tong Ze suddenly realized that this decision was just a temporary idea of Lin Zongbian, so he asked again: "The exercises recorded in the book can really make people live longer and stay young?"

Lin Zongyan snorted coldly and said, "How can anyone in this world live for hundreds of years without dying? That set of exercises is just a more clever guiding technique, and it is not as subtle as it is rumored. ”

Master Tong Ze was naturally convinced of Lin Zongyan's conclusion, but he was curious: "Then why don't you explain it to everyone? As long as this exercise is not as subtle as the rumors, others will naturally have no desire for it!"

Lin Zongbian sneered twice, and then opened his eyes to look at Master Tong Ze, his eyes revealed deep helplessness and resentment, and at the same time said in a cold voice: "Even if I tell me bluntly, will they definitely believe it? The so-called three people become tigers, not to mention that this "Su Jing" is still a legend that has been circulated for nearly a thousand years, and everyone only wants to believe that there is really a supreme mystic skill recorded in the "Su Jing", so even if I tell the truth, no one will definitely believe it, on the contrary, it will only increase more suspicion and evil!"

Master Tong Ze muttered, "This... I'm afraid it's not that bad, the old man believes..."

Lin Zongbian shook his head and interrupted: "Master, this time I really can't think of any other way. Although it was only he Xu Jiangkui who made trouble for me before, how could his mind not be the mind of others? As the saying goes: 'If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves.' No matter how valuable this book is, but its weight is beyond my capacity, and I really can't force this book anymore. Looking around today, only the Son of Heaven can sit on this thing and no one dares to covet it. Speaking of this, he sighed helplessly, his voice was full of helplessness and powerlessness, but he still made up his mind, and continued: "There is no sin in the matter, but it is guilty." Although this book is not the real cause of my loss of my wife and child, it is also a great incentive, and I can't lose more because of it!"

Master Tongze looked at Lin Zongbian who was depressed in front of him, knowing that this time his old friend had really come to the end of the mountain, and seeing that he had lost the heroic momentum of the past at this time, he suddenly sighed in his heart, and became more and more sympathetic to his bad luck, and his compassion was great at the moment, and comforted: "Zong Yan, don't be discouraged, the old man has been living in the house these days, no matter what happens in the future, the old man will definitely bear it with you!"

However, in the face of Master Tongze's enthusiasm, Lin Zongbian was noncommittal, but slowly closed his eyes, as if he was contemplating, and seemed to be suppressing his emotions, so after a long time, he asked in a deep voice: "Master, I ask myself if I treat people with sincerity and sincerity, and I have many good thoughts and good deeds, but why did I end up like this? Is it really good in this world?"

In the face of such an inquiry, Master Tongze was difficult to answer for a while, but he faintly felt that Lin Zongyan's words contained a fierce aura, and his heart couldn't help but froze, and he hurriedly thought about the wording, and only said after a while: "There are many people in the world whose wisdom is covered with dust, so that they suffer from greed, hatred, ignorance, slowness, suspicion, and the harm of the five poisons, and they will inevitably commit evil deeds. But you are different, you have a spiritual root and wisdom, so you should always have the heart of a bodhisattva, and you should also show mercy and forgiveness to all sentient beings for their mistakes and evils..."

But before he could finish speaking, Lin Zongyan suddenly interrupted in a cold voice: "The master is really a good gesture! Then I have to ask the master again." I pity the suffering of all beings, who will pity me for suffering?"

Master Tongze was speechless again, he wanted to use the righteousness of Buddhism to comfort Lin Zongbian, but he didn't expect that this move would arouse the hatred in his heart more and more, and he was anxious at the moment, and hurriedly said: "The Buddha said: 'Have a good heart, bear good fruits'." If you have compassion for all sentient beings, the Buddha will treat you with this heart, even if the people of the world are responsible for you, the Buddha will not fail you!"

Lin Zongyan smiled disdainfully, obviously not believing what Master Tongze said, but he replied lightly: "Master mercy, thank you." ”

Seeing this situation, Master Tong Ze knew that any persuasion he had at this time was already pale and weak, so he didn't bother anymore, thinking that he would slowly persuade him after a while, so he turned to say: "Zong Yan, you better go and eat some food first, there are still many things for you to take care of in the next few days, but you can't damage your body anymore!"

Lin Zongbian sighed: "Where do I still have the heart to eat... Master go first, I want to stay here alone for a while, I still have a lot of things I don't understand, I need to think about it quietly. With that, he turned to the grave and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

Master Tongze didn't want to persuade him anymore, so he had to fold his hands and chant the Buddha's name, and then turned around and left.

And Lin Zongbian is like an old monk who has settled down, sitting for a day and a night, even if people around him come and go, he is not aware of it at all. During this period, although Zhang He delivered the food on time, he did not move a chopstick or spoonful, Zhang He was afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly went to Master Tongze to inform him. Master Tongze only told Zhang He to tell everyone not to disturb Lin Zongbian anymore and let him recover on his own. Zhang He did as he said, and from then on, no idle bystanders appeared near Lin Zongbian.

In the early morning of the third day, Zhang He still went to the grave, but this time there was no trace of Lin Zongbian, he thought for a while, and then rushed to Lin Zongbian's bedroom, and when he arrived at the door, he didn't get through, so he pushed the door directly.

When he entered the house, he saw Lin Zongbian writing at the desk, Zhang He's heart was a little relieved, but he suddenly remembered that the head of the house had not eaten food for two days, so he asked softly: "Master of the house, do you want to eat?"

Lin Zongbian didn't pay attention to Zhang He's reckless move, he still bowed his head and wrote on the desk, and only after a while did he order: "Go out, bring the door shut, if you want to eat, I will call you." ”

Zhang He didn't dare to say much, turned around and went out, and then closed the door gently with his backhand, and then stood by the door of the house, waiting for the instructions of the people in the house at any time.

In the afternoon, Lin Zongyan's voice finally came from the house: "Zhang He, come in." ”

Zhang He immediately pushed the door in, bowed down and asked, "What does the family master command?"

Lin Zongbian handed a letter to Zhang He and said, "You send this letter to the 'Chengfeng' dart bureau in the south of the city, and then find Feng San, the head of the dart, and tell him that I want him to deliver this letter in person." After a pause, he said, "Remember, you have to hand it over to Feng San yourself." ”

Zhang He glanced at the envelope, but saw that there was no handwriting on the cover, and immediately doubted: "Family master, the name of this recipient should be told to Feng Dart in person?"

Lin Zongbian said: "No need, he knows where to send this letter, you just need to hand it over to him." ”

Zhang He nodded yes, and when he was about to leave, Lin Zongbian shouted him again, and continued to instruct: "Let the kitchen send some food, and fast." In addition, I have to practice behind closed doors for the past few days, and I don't see anyone, so I will let the kitchen bring me the soup and tea. ”

Zhang He bowed and responded: "Please wait for a while, and the little one will go and order." With that, he bowed and exited the house.
