Fan Shou sat on the edge of the bed and said to his father, "What's the matter, Dad?"

The old man lying on the bed sat up with Fan Shou's support, he leaned on the pillow, and it took a long time to stop coughing, and took a sip of the water cup handed by his son before he spoke: "Son, the great benefactor of our family has woken up, right?"

Fan Shou nodded.

The old man continued: "Help me up, I have to feel the great benefactor." You also have to remember that our family is poor, but people are not inferior to other families. You must not wait until you are successful in the future to cross the river and tear down the bridge, otherwise I will not be blinded if I die, and even if I don't die, I feel better than dead!"

Fan Shou couldn't help but laugh and said: "Dad, what are you talking about, I have always been by your side since I was a child, you don't know what kind of person I am? ”

At this moment, Zhuge Chen stepped forward and said to the old man with a smile: "Old man, don't worry, I know what kind of temperament Fan Shou has, otherwise how could I let him stay by my side." You must wait until the day when you see him soar with your own eyes, after working hard for most of your life, it is not easy to see your son become a master, how can you not enjoy some years?"

The old man was about to get up and kneel on the bed, Zhuge Chen hurriedly lifted him up and said: "This is unacceptable, you are already so old, I can't afford it." ”

Maybe it's because of his age, a few simple words made the old man cry, he held Zhuge Chen's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Thanks to the blessing of the benefactor, if it weren't for you, what kind of land would our family have ended up in? You are richer than they are, but you are so gentle, that you are destined to go further than them!"

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "Borrow your auspicious words." ”

Fan Shou was terrified when he listened from the sidelines, and he wanted to stop his father several times. After all, if a certain sentence angers Bai Yi, his family will be wiped out. didn't expect that after waking up, Zhuge Chen seemed to be a different person, without the arrogant and domineering spirit that was revealed, but seemed very restrained. But he had no doubt that if someone really bullied him, the only thing that awaited the other party was death.

Saying that, Zhuge Chen took out a lotus seed medicine from the mustard seed and handed it to Fan Shou, he said: "Soak this lotus seed in water, give the old man a cup every day, and live another Jiazi." ”

Fan Shou couldn't hide his excitement, and said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you, son." How can I Fan Shou He De, the blessings of several lifetimes of cultivation have met you, Gongzi. You can rest assured that Fan Shou will go to the soup in the future, and he will not hesitate!"

Zhuge Chen just smiled and didn't speak. After staying in the room for a while, Zhuge Chen left. He didn't let Fan Shou follow him, but asked him to accompany his father more, otherwise if there was a place where he was really needed in the future, there would be fewer opportunities for father and son to see each other. Before leaving, he also put a Shen Zhen coin on the table outside, asking Fan Shou to clean up the house, otherwise it would be really shabby.

Walking on the street, although Zhuge Chen, who was not hungry, still bought a lot of food in his hand, he went straight to the palace, pushed the door and walked in, and saw the housekeeper sitting on a chair in the courtyard basking in the sun, and beside him was Wang Daxue, who had come back from outside the city for some days. Bai Yi walked forward with a smile and said, "I haven't eaten yet, it just so happens that I bought a lot of things, so I don't have to do them at night, these are enough." ”

The housekeeper saw Zhuge Chen, got up to take the food, and asked: "Where have you been these days, and you don't tell your family, you don't know how anxious the snow is, and you almost searched the entire capital." If it weren't for my hard persuasion that Zhuge Gongzi is so big and knows how to do things, he may not be able to make any trouble?"

Zhuge Chen looked at Wang Daxue, who was a little embarrassed, but he still said stiffly: "Brother Chen, don't listen to the housekeeper's nonsense, I went to the city to be happy, what is there to worry about." You are much more stable than me, no matter what, you should be worried about me. But what have you been doing during this period of time, I haven't found out from anyone. I thought you had returned to the academy alone, but I took me and wrote a letter to Yan Lao, but I still haven't been able to learn where you are. ”

Zhuge Chen said with a smile: "I rested in the city for a few days, and then went out of the city to go around, nothing happened." And now that I'm in the destiny of heaven, I can't help me. ”

Wang Daxue said with some longing: "When will I be like Brother Chen, you?" Although the realm is low, the killing power is high, and it has only been a few years, and I am almost able to be on an equal footing with the head of the family." Forget it, I don't want to be so much, just go with the flow, it's enough to be among the best in this life. By the way, Brother Chen, you came back from outside the city, do you know what is the most lively thing in the capital right now?"

Zhuge Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know, you tell me." Let me hear, what is it that makes our eldest prince of the Wang family say that it is hilarious?"

"Don't make fun of me. Wang Daxue said helplessly: "A few days ago, a group of ascetics came to the capital, and they were hyping that a catastrophe was going to befall the city. Only by stopping the catastrophe in the first step can we avoid the tragedy. It just so happened that the current emperor was a believer in Buddhism, and he believed that he was not going to say it, but now he was recruiting cultivators to go out of the city to solve this calamity! This is why the ancestor who worshipped him could not go out of the city, otherwise, how could there be such trouble. ”

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes and sat on the chair vacated by the housekeeper who walked to the kitchen. He drank the tea he had just made, and was a little puzzled about the truth of this rumor. According to common sense, if there is really a catastrophe that befalls him, he will not choose the capital of one of the four major dynasties in the world. According to the Yin-Yang family, that is, the country is long, and it must be worry-free. Natural disasters are avoided, and man-made disasters have to find another way. Unless someone with a heart wants to use this as an excuse to set off a bloody storm in the capital of Dayan. Even if it can't threaten the palace where there are cultivators of the Zhen Dao realm, it can make the people miserable, and it is enough to make the emperor anxious.

If you continue to think about it, it seems that the only person who can be so thoughtful is the big merchant who is about to start a war in Dayan.

Zhuge Chen swallowed the tea and said, "Then why didn't you go?"

"I'm not interested. Wang Daxue pouted and said: "How good it is to stay in the palace, bask in the sun during the day, go out for a walk at night, eat and drink after coming back, and sleep peacefully." When I wake up tomorrow, it's another day like this. How can I waste the opportunity to sneak away from the busyness that I have won so hard? After returning to the academy, I have to practice the sword every day, how tired I am?"

"You lazy, the happiest thing in your life is eating and drinking. Get up quickly, and walk around the city with me, and see if you can meet those ill-intentioned ascetics. Zhuge Chen scolded with a smile: "I want to see who wants to stir up the situation in the capital." ”

The housekeeper saw that the two of them were about to go out, and hurriedly walked out of the kitchen and said, "Don't forget to come back for dinner in the evening, otherwise it will be very boring for me to stay in a huge house." ”

Zhuge Chen nodded with a smile and said, "Definitely." ”

......

According to Wang Daxue's guidance, without much effort, the two came to the downstairs of the inn where the group of ascetics stayed.

Zhuge Chen looked inside, and said in a slurp: "The place where this group of ascetics lives is not bad, if this is still bitter, how many people in the market are not as good as others." "Haha Literature Network

Wang Daxue explained to Zhuge Chen: "Not really, at first this group of ascetics sat on the side of the street at night and didn't fall asleep, so they kept reciting Buddhist scriptures, which annoyed the neighboring people. It wasn't until the emperor knew about it that he specially arranged for someone to vacate an inn. ”

Zhuge Chen smiled and played: "It seems that our emperor is really a model of etiquette and virtuousness, and he even has to take care of the days of a group of ascetics." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the inn, and was stopped by someone without accident. Wang Daxue stepped forward and told his identity, and the guards naturally didn't dare to continue to stop in front of him, so he obediently let him go. But he still told the two of them not to do something out of the ordinary to annoy the group of ascetics, otherwise if the other party left in a rage, there would be no way to end the calamity of the generals.

Zhuge Chen agreed, pushed open the door, and saw a group of ascetics sitting on the bed, the bedding neat and seemed to have not slept all night. He stared at the most well-dressed monk at the front, stepped forward, and whispered, "If I'm not mistaken, you're their Buddha head, right?"

The Buddha head opened his eyes, chanted a Buddha name, and said, "Since the donor knows what a Buddha head is, he is naturally quite wise. I just don't know why I came here today, and I have a little murderous aura on my body?"

Zhuge Chen scratched his head, sat in front of the Buddha, spread out his palms, and pretended to be helpless and said: "Don't worry, the Buddha head has been fighting since I was a child, and it is normal to have a murderous aura on my body." As long as I'm not targeting the Buddha's head, wouldn't it?"

When the two were talking, Wang Daxue was looking around in the room, he didn't want to deal with this group of ascetics who didn't understand the slightest amorous feeling. Although he was not a very elegant person, and he was full of vulgar words that came out of his mouth in a hurry, he did know what to do to make himself more relaxed. In short, in his eyes, the meaning of the three ascetics is to ask for hardship. On the contrary, he looked at Zhuge Chen, who had a good chat with the Buddha head, and wondered in his heart, how could Brother Chen also be a little monk who was suitable for shaving as a monk? Just thinking about Zhuge Chen, who had become a monk and was still dressed in white, he couldn't help laughing. It wasn't until he caught the ascetic's eye that he walked out of the house and went to the rest of the inn.

The head of the Buddha twisted the Buddha beads in his hand and said, "The donor came here, it is not as simple as just wanting to meet us, is it? ”

"It's worthy of the Buddha's head, but it was easy to guess my thoughts. Zhuge Chen said: "All along, I have been puzzled. Isn't it true that dervishes travel around the world for the sake of themselves?"

"All appearances are vain. Only rebirth in the Western Elysium is the right path in life. We wait for asceticism to be with the world, not for wealth, not for fame, not just to become a Buddha after death and get rid of this world of suffering?" replied to the Buddha's head, and beside him, the ascetics who had also experienced hardships just by looking at their appearance nodded in the same way.

Zhuge Chen narrowed his eyes, took off the wine jug hanging from his waist, and put it in his hand. He unscrewed the lid of the pot, raised his head and took a sip before muttering, "But become a Buddha...... Isn't it just for yourself?"

The benefactor was very wrong to think so. We are waiting to become a Buddha, not so that we can wait, but that this suffering world can be renewed. The higher the realm of a cultivator, the more he will ignore the world, and naturally he will not be able to see all kinds of people living in poverty. Rong Lao Qu said a digression, if I am the only one who wants to be free from suffering and be happy, what is the difficulty?" the Buddha chanted the Buddha's name again, waiting for Zhuge Chen to ask another question.

Unexpectedly, Bai Yi no longer pressed step by step, but asked about the origin of the ascetic.

"After being ordained, it doesn't matter where you come from. Now we only know that we have come from the east, and we will go to the west. ”

"I heard that a few days ago, several cities in the east of Dayan were attacked by cultivators, and none of the people in the city were spared, it can't be such a coincidence, right?" Zhuge Chen lowered his eyes, but he always looked at the Buddha's head. This news was told to him by Fan Shou himself when he left Fan Shou's house. The two of them just said casually at the time, never thinking that Zhuge Chen actually had a subtle feeling, this group of ascetics and several cities turned into ruins could not get rid of it.

The head of the Buddha asked angrily: "What does this mean, donor?!" We are people from the Buddhist sect, although we are not in the temple, but we also remember the precepts, how can we kill?"

"Then how can you explain the catastrophe in the capital in your mouth?" Zhuge Chen suddenly stood up and said loudly: "If my guess is wrong, I will naturally apologize for the Buddha's head, and even let you dispose of it." But if it is correct, the theory of calamity will naturally be self-defeating! Although I am not a righteous man and gentleman who worries about the world beforehand, as a cultivator who does not ignore the world as you say, I must intervene in this matter!"

A group of dervishes stood up and stood around Zhuge Chen. They glared and clenched their fists, which can be called King Kong's angry eyes. Only the Buddha's head still sat upright, and said softly: "Why is the donor obsessed?"

Zhuge Chen smiled and said, "That's not the case!"

The rubber pillar sword came out of its sheath in response, and he held the blade of the sword, and a snow-white robe floated in the air with the sword qi. He walked forward in the ascetic, without fear.

Seeing the ascetics with the wrong momentum, they gathered together and condensed a solemn Buddha statue. Although the Buddha statue is not high, it is full of gold, and his big hand is pressed down, like a peak hanging above his head, bringing a lot of pressure to the white clothes. You have Buddha statues, I have mountains. The power of Zhuge Chen's sword is Kunlun and Mount Tai, these two majestic peaks that are extremely famous in the sky have been subjected to the essence of the sun and the moon for thousands of years, even in the face of the true Buddha of Buddhism, not to mention the Buddha statue?

The Xiaolou Heaven and Earth Sword Array was outlined in this room by Zhuge Chen with sword energy, destroying the withering and decaying, and destroying the golden body of the Buddha statue. A group of ascetics snorted and coughed up blood, but they were still in front of Zhuge Chen. Bai Yi didn't choose to keep his hand, clenched his fists, and handed out a punch with the broken sky diagram on his back, and the direct teaching landslide and the river were broken!

The head of the Buddha then got up and signaled the ascetic, who had lost his combat effectiveness, to retreat, and he personally suppressed Zhuge Chen. To this day, he still persuades Zhuge Chen with "bitter words": "Why should the donor be forced to force each other? The sea of bitterness is endless, what the donor should do is to turn back to the shore, is it really so difficult to put down the sword in his hand? If the donor continues to be obsessed, don't blame me for doing it." ”

"High-sounding. Zhuge Chen snorted coldly and said: "It's not that I haven't dealt with Buddhism, I also heard about Buddhism in my early years, and I think every word is true." But for a demon monk like you under the banner of purifying sentient beings, if you don't kill you, will it be possible to allow you to continue to make trouble?"

When he said this, he kept thinking in his heart where Wang Daxue had gone. Such a fierce battle should have attracted him a long time ago, why haven't you seen him until now?

As if he saw what Zhuge Chen was thinking, the Buddha said slowly: "Don't think that there will be help to help you, this room has long been surrounded by me with my own magic weapon, and it can be regarded as a world of its own." Since the donor has too many distracting thoughts in his heart, I will take action on behalf of the Buddha and help you purify it!"

To have this means, Zhuge Chen did not think about it. But in this way, it can be proved that the purpose of this group of ascetics is not pure. If he came to this Dayan capital only for the sake of purifying sentient beings, why would he attack him? Even if he was unreasonable in the first place, the real Buddhist monks would not only not make a move, but would deliberately avoid his means of attack. Regarding this point, Zhuge Chen has personally experienced it, and it is naturally very clear.

When he first went to the Western Heavens, Zhuge Chen had friction with the young Buddhist monks, and as a result, those monks were not only reprimanded by their own masters, but made them apologize to Zhuge Chen. It was at that time that Zhuge Chen met the little monk, so he also had a very good impression of Buddhism. is not like Nanzhou Confucianism, and I can't wait for everyone to crush his bones and ashes. It's an exaggeration, but it's not much the same.

Zhuge Chen pulled out the gap flying sword in his sleeve with a qi machine, and supplemented by a lonely goose, surrounded it and said: "In this case, I hope that the Buddha head will not let me down." ”

This time, it was the Buddha's turn to laugh, he took off his robe, and said to himself: "If I don't kill you, this trip to the capital will be in vain." That's not going to work!"
