Chapter 225: The Good Guys and the Bad Guys
On winter nights, the cold wind blows gently.
Wang Yi looked at the burned bonfire and felt some of the warmth brought by the bonfire.
Sitting cross-legged beside Wang Si, Wang Yi glanced at the old monk who was sitting there, silently turning the Buddha beads, and found that he had no other movements except meditating.
"Master, what should I call it?"
The old monk, who was meditating with his eyes closed, slowly opened his eyes and replied with a smile: "The monk does not speak of his name, and the Tao does not speak of longevity." ”
Wang Yi grinned, do all monks like to talk like this?
"What the master said is a little inappropriate, just a name, is it impossible to say it?"
Just as Wang Yigang wanted to say something to the old monk again, a voice from outside the ancient temple came into his ears.
Wang Yi stood up abruptly and stared at the gate of the ancient temple. When the old monk heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment, then folded his hands and recited a Buddha name.
At the gate of the ancient temple, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe patted the snowflakes on his boots, and walked into the ancient temple with his hands behind his back.
The Taoist first saluted Wang Yi, and then said: "Little brother, there is a lot of disturbance, forgive me, forgive me." ”
Wang Yi's right hand rested on the long sword at his waist, his eyes looked at the Taoist with cold eyes, and he asked in an unkind tone, "Your Excellency?"
The Taoist robe worn by the Taoist is not an ordinary Taoist robe, but a yellow and purple Taoist robe that only the Taoist Heavenly Master can have, which is the current Ming Emperor personally rewarded to the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion, and only a person can wear it on the body of today's Ming Dynasty.
One is the ascended Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master, the second is the grandson of the Heavenly Master who is now inheriting the position of Heavenly Master, and the third is the person in front of him.
Longhu Mountain's surname is the Great Heavenly Master, Huang Wen.
However, unlike the last time when the Heavenly Master ascended, Huang Wen's appearance this time was no longer an old man, but instead he became a middle-aged man, with a shiny face and full of energy.
"There are no rules of their Buddhist family, the surname is Huang Mingwen, just a Taoist priest. ”
Wang Yi was shocked in his heart, the name Huang Wen still existed in Wang Yi's mind, and Jin Yiwei had to record these famous characters in the rivers and lakes of goodbye.
Wang Yi did not doubt that someone dared to pretend to be Huang Wen, that was really disgusted with his long life.
Facing this Great Heavenly Master surnamed Longhu Mountain, Wang Yi returned the salute and said, "How could Huang Heavenly Master appear here?"
It's no wonder that Wang Yi has this question, Longhu Mountain is in the south of the Yangtze River, located in Yizhou, and this is the junction of Tingzhou and Xuzhou, Tiannan and Haibei, and the distance between them is unimaginable.
Huang Wen heard Wang Yi's question, but he didn't answer, but asked, "Xiaoyou, since you can keep the master, can Poor Dao also stay here?"
Wang Yi crossed his arms and said angrily: "Naturally, this ancient temple is an ownerless thing, but I just want to know if anyone will come again, and I am not a vegetable market here, so I can come and go at will." ”
Huang Wen laughed, took out a jade pendant from his arms, threw it to Wang Yi, and then sat on Wang Yi's left, "There won't be any more, Xiaoyou don't have to be annoyed, this jade pendant will be given to Xiaoyou as compensation." ”
Wang Yi took the jade pendant, after starting, the jade pendant actually had a cool feeling, thinking that the material must be a little special, the veins on it are a little strange, not like those naturally formed, but in this way it has a different flavor.
Looking at Wang Yi looking at the jade pendant, Huang Wengang wanted to explain, but the old monk sitting on the side suddenly spoke, "The donor doesn't have to suspect that there is something wrong with this jade pendant, Huang Tianshi still has this bit of belly, this jade pendant contains the thunder method of Longhu Mountain, and for some people who practice magic skills, it has a natural ability to restrain itself." At the moment of danger, crushing the jade pendant, no one in the rivers and lakes below the second grade can take the power generated when the jade pendant is broken. ”
Wang Yi put it away suspiciously
Yu Pei sat back next to Wang Si, and found that the three of them were talking too loudly just now, which woke up Wang Si who was asleep.
After Wang Si woke up, he was a little surprised to find that there was an extra monk and Taoist priest beside him, but he was not afraid, but looked at the two of them with some curiosity, his head and shoulders kept swaying.
Wang Yi put his hands behind his head, and he was not ready to practice internal strength anymore, it was somewhat unsafe to have outsiders present.
If you want to say nervous, Wang Yi still has it, as one of the ten people in the world, Huang Wen is sitting next to him, without any arrogance and arrogance, but like an uncle next door, which makes Wang Yi a little unbelievable, and it is precisely because of this disbelief that Wang Yi is a little nervous now.
"The Heavenly Master followed the old monk all the way, aren't you tired?"
Huang Wenwen, who was sitting there and adding wooden blocks to the bonfire, first smiled, and then replied: "What the master said is not enough, it is the duty of the Heavenly Master's Mansion to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and I, Huang Wen, am just a diligent and hard-working Taoist priest." ”
Wang Yi looked at Huang Wen and then at the old monk, and found that there was nothing peculiar about these two people, but listening to what Huang Wen had just said, this old monk didn't seem to be a good person.
"Could there be some misunderstanding?"
Huang Wen pulled the robe on his body, looked at the old monk who turned the Buddha beads silently, and explained to Wang Yi: "Xiaoyou, I don't know, the old monk in front of me is an old monk, but the next second may be a demon." ”
"How to say that. ”
Huang Wen glanced at the old monk and gave him a look, which seemed to mean to say, why don't you say it yourself?
The old monk also saw Huang Wen's eyes, but he chose to turn a blind eye.
"That's because the master's background is amazing, back then, the Heavenly Master gathered so many manpower and didn't kill the master, but let the master escape. ”
The old monk's face was bitter, and his tone was full of regret, "The old man did a lot of wrong things before, and now he wants to make up for it, the heavenly master can't let the old man go once?"
Huang Wen didn't answer, just took out a bell and laughed and teased Wang Si on the side.
Wang Yi still didn't understand a little, but he knew a truth, and the more he knew, the sooner he might die, he wouldn't ask questions again. Holding the bloody clothes, he walked to the gate of the ancient temple, stretched out his right hand and grabbed some snowflakes that fell on the ground, put them on his clothes, and rubbed them gently.
Although the effect is not good, it can wash away most of the blood.
When Huang Wen saw Wang Yi's movements, he just sat there silently in a daze, but the old monk saw this and recited a Buddha name, "Sin, sin." ”
"On the way here, Lao Wei encountered several corpses, all of which had died from sword qi and exposed the wilderness. The old man couldn't bear it, so he did a ritual. ”
Huang Wen sat cross-legged and said to the old monk: "Master, you might as well ask this little benefactor if he killed him." ”
The old monk took out a wooden fish from his arms, put it on the ground, recited words in his mouth, and began to chant scriptures. In the ancient temple, the sound of wooden fish sounded.
After Wang Yi washed the clothes, he put the clothes into the bamboo box and sat back in his original position.
"What does the master think?"
When the old monk heard this, he stopped knocking on the wooden fish, and in the ancient temple, there was silence for an instant, and only the breathing sound of a few people lingered in Wang Yi's ears.
"It's not right to kill people after all. ”
Wang Yi pulled out the long sword at his waist and put it on his knees, put his index finger and middle finger together, gently brushed the sword body, and reached the tip of the sword, the moonlight shone on the sword body, reflecting on Wang Yi's face.
With a resolute look, his handsome face fell into Huang Wen's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh a little, God gave this kid good clothes.
"Then please ask the master, how about them
It was the man who had insulted a lady before, and then killed him, and finally wanted to attack their daughter, what would the master do if he was present. ”
Huang Wen looked at the old monk on the side with a playful expression.
The old monk was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
Wang Yi asked again: "What kind of person does the master think I am?" ”
The old monk raised his head, looked at Wang Yi, and looked at him, his eyes were white and matchless, but they implied indifference, as if the survival of this world had nothing to do with him.
Wang Yi flicked the sword body with two fingers, and the sword body burst out with a crisp sound, which made Huang Wen think that when he was in Longhu Mountain, every day there would be a Taoist who would ring a bronze bell hanging outside the door of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
The sound is so crisp and pleasant.
"The benefactor is lost in the world. ”
Wang Yi stretched out his finger and shook it, "What the master said is not right, why don't you say that this world has changed?"
"I used to read in books that a child who had no father and mother since he was a child, and no one to discipline him, went astray, sneaked and abducted, was good at everything, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all of which were fine. But when they were finally caught, the officials saw that this man was carrying water for an old man who had no children and no daughters, and when they saw the arrival of the officials, the man did not run away, but begged them to give him a little time to finish the water. ”
"I have also seen a rich man who has been taking care of his fellow villagers for many years, and who opens a stall to give soup porridge in the middle of the night, and finally finds out by the woman's husband. ”
"Then the master might as well say, which of these two people is the good guy and who is the bad guy?"
The old monk didn't know how to answer, his lips trembled slightly, and he didn't say anything, just recited a Buddha name.
Wang Si was a little shocked, she didn't expect her master to say such a thing, it was really domineering.
Huang Wen was impressed by this little brother who had just met in the ancient temple, and his heart was also secretly refreshed, it was not easy to make this old immortal monk so embarrassed.
"Master is merciful, this is a good thing, but in the future, you have to think more about such things. ”
The old monk clasped his hands together and said sincerely: "Thank you for your explanation." ”
Huang Wen fell into the well on the side, "Old monk, I think your monk is coming to an end, why don't you go back to Longhu Mountain with me." ”
Wang Yi put the sword into the sheath, the old monk shook his head, and said to Huang Wen: "The old man wants to see it again." ”
Huang Wen stretched his feet to relieve himself, and after sitting for a long time, his legs and feet were a little numb.
Li Changming walked back with the carcass of a wild boar, put the wild boar aside, and sat on the ground a little tired, bent very low.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, but a guest has arrived. ”
Huang Wen looked at this Li Changming, who was born in Wudang, he naturally recognized Li Changming's robe, after all, Longhu Mountain had dealt with Wudang Mountain for many years.
The old monk saluted and said hello. Li Changming directly ignored it, he was so tired that he didn't have the energy to pay attention to these two people.
"Wang Yi, you are responsible for roasting this wild boar, I don't care, Master Dao, I have spent a lot of effort in order to catch it. ”
Wang Yi stood up and walked over to the carcass of the wild boar. began to prepare for today's dinner, Huang Wen was not let go by Wang Yi, and directly pulled over.
Huang Wen didn't want to come, but Wang Yi said, do you want to eat it too? Huang Wen nodded.
Wang Yi continued, "If you want to eat, come and help me, otherwise you will be hungry." ”
Huang Wen had to help Wang Yi honestly, thinking that he was a heavenly master of Huang Wen's generation, and now he was threatened to cook.
