Chapter 60: The Old Monk and the Old Taoist
Li Moru turned around and saw that the person in front of him was so familiar, dressed in white, with crane hair and a childish face, leaning on his wrist with a dust, and picking up a cup of tea in his hand.
Li Moru said happily: "Immortal Master, it turned out to be you." ”
"I didn't expect that I hadn't seen him for so many years, and the stinky boy of the year had become a white-clothed sword demon who moved the rivers and lakes, which is really gratifying, gratifying. ”
Hearing the title of the white-clothed sword demon, Li Moru couldn't help but lower his head and said, "I didn't expect that after so many years of not seeing each other, you haven't changed at all, and you look younger." ”
Huiyang Daoren smiled: "I didn't expect you kid to learn to flatter people, but it's very popular, and the old Taoist likes it." ”
He saluted the old monk and said, "Old monk, I didn't expect you to be dead. ”
The old monk took a sip of wine and said coldly: "I didn't expect that you, an old immortal, were still alive." ”
"Haha, I didn't expect the monk to speak foul language, but it's very good, I like it very much. ”
Li Moru asked, "Why, you two actually know each other?"
"Old friend, but I haven't seen you for many years, I thought that the old monk had already gone to the west to see the Buddha, but it turned out that he was still in the world, it seems that he can't practice, and the Buddha won't accept you, the old monk. ”
"I'm too lazy to waste my lips and tongue with you here, even you're here, so that thing must be real?"
Huiyang Daoren smiled: "What's the difference between this thing and whether it's real or not, even if it's fake, aren't these people so happy?"
In Li Moru's view, the chat between the two is more like two enemies who have not seen each other for many years, but what can a Taoist priest and a monk have.
The most pitiful thing is that he can't interject at all, they are like two gods in front of him, and he doesn't know how to communicate with them at all.
According to Li Moru's conjecture, the martial arts of these two people are only much higher than him, and they usually take people's lives with a sword, and in the face of these two people, there is always a sense of oppression.
Huiyang Daoist is okay, after all, Li Moru knows, but compared to Huiyang Daoist, this empty old monk is more mysterious.
As far as Li Moru's feelings about him are concerned, his martial arts should not be weak, but why is he walking on the rivers and lakes in tattered rags?
He didn't understand, and he didn't want to interrupt, so he sat quietly there, listening to the two of you talking word by word, and suddenly felt a little humble, this was the first time he had this feeling since he entered the rivers and lakes.
Seeing Li Moru's head buried on the table, Huiyang Daoren asked: "What's wrong with you, why don't you look very happy, aren't you happy to see me?"
Li Moru got up and said, "Of course not, of course I'm happy to see you." ”
"Immortal Master, I want to ask you something. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Li Moru said: "You said that now I, can I beat those masters who came this time?"
The old monk smiled: "Although your martial arts are good, you can be regarded as a first-class master in the rivers and lakes, but when you meet a real master, you are still far behind, let's just say that this stinky Taoist in front of you is dozens of you together, and it is estimated that it will be no fun." ”
Although Li Moru knew that he would definitely not be able to beat the Huiyang Dao people, he didn't expect the gap to be so big, although this didn't sound too good, but Li Moru could still accept it, after all, the Huiyang Dao people have always been like immortals in his heart.
Huiyang Daoren smiled: "Moru, do you think there is any hope for you to fight with this old monk?"
Li Moru said helplessly: "Although I haven't seen him use martial arts, my intuition tells me that he will definitely not be able to fight, and he may not be able to fight even after practicing for another ten years, which gives me the feeling that he and you should be on par." ”
The old monk took a sip of wine and said, "Alas, if I could have beaten him, I would have killed him a long time ago, how could I keep him alive and angry with me today." ”
Li Moru said: "What, there is a feud between the two of you?"
Huiyang Daoren smiled: "What's the hatred there, it's just a little festival, right, old monk." ”
The old monk said angrily: "Stinky Taoist, you almost killed my Shaolin Temple Dharma Temple, dozens of lives, you call this a small festival?"
Li Moru had a huge question in his mind, what?
Huiyang smiled: "Others don't know, don't you know, old monk, if they didn't attack me, how could I make a move, I have always been pure and indisputable, I want to live my own peaceful life, you say that others want to kill me, I can't help but fight back." ”
The old monk said: "You fight back, I understand, I can accept that you killed the thirty-six stick monks who went to ambush you, after all, it was the Shaolin Temple that ambushed you first, but why did you break into the Shaolin Dharma Academy." ”
Huiyang Daoist drank the tea, shook the dust slightly, and said: "Old monk, you can blame me for this, if they didn't go to gather other sects and say that they wanted to seek revenge on me, would I go to your Shaolin, if I don't kill chickens and monkeys, how can I have a clean life in the future?"
"It's not that you don't know, things in this world are so strange, talk to them well, they just don't listen, they think you are scared, you give him two slaps and he knows that it hurts, and he learns to be sensible, you say, since then, have I lived in harmony with you Shaolin, and in the past few decades, have we been at peace?"
"Think about it, if I don't do that, how many people have you Shaolin sent out to kill me in the past few decades, isn't that more death, in the end, I'm not for you Shaolin?"
After listening to this conversation, Li Moru was shocked, but he didn't expect that Huiyang Daoist, who seemed to have no quarrel with the world and was pure and easy-going, would still have such a past.
Huiyang Daodao: "Moru, what about people, you should still be kind, but you have to find the right way, otherwise, your kindness is harming people, do you understand?"
Li Moru couldn't help but slanted the corners of his mouth, and thought, Immortal Master, are you sure that this is what you want to express?
The old monk said: "Don't listen to his nonsense, some people can be killed, and some people don't need to be killed." ”
Li Moru was blindsided again, when he heard that the old monk was from Shaolin Temple, he thought that the old monk would dissuade him from killing people, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha.
Li Moru asked, "Old monk, are you really from Shaolin Temple?"
Huiyang Taoist smiled: "He is from Shaolin Temple, but he is just a monk who was driven out by Shaolin Temple, saying that he does not chant scriptures or worship Buddha in the temple all day long, and he eats meat when people eat fasting, and he also drinks wine at the well, you say he deserves it." ”
The old monk said: "If you don't worship the Buddha in your heart, if you have a Buddha in your heart, then the Buddha exists, if you kneel down in the Buddha, and if you don't have a Buddha in your heart, then the Buddha doesn't exist, and besides, why should the Buddha kneel? All beings are equal, why should I kneel to him? There is no wine in the mouth, there is wine in the heart, although there is a precept in the body but there is no precept in the heart, then there is a precept? There is wine in the mouth, there is no wine in the heart, although there is no precept in the mouth and the heart has a precept, then there is no precept?"
Li Moru said: "But since ancient times, monks have been eating fasting and reciting Buddha, abstaining from meat and fish, and kneeling down to worship the Buddha." ”
The old monk said: "Although the body worships, the heart does not worship, it is better not to worship, although the body precepts, the heart does not prescribe, it is better not to prescribe, all beings are equal, then the Buddha and me, the same, the Buddha does not worship me, I do not worship the Buddha, I am the Buddha, the Buddha is me." ”
"Today's people only worship it, but they don't know how to receive it, and they give it if they want it, and they claim merit in vain. ”
Huiyang Dao humanitarian: "No give, no take, so everything is taken, everything is given, although it is a Taoist saying, but also Buddhism said, old monk, it seems that you have not been in vain for decades, if it is not because of something, I really want to find you to have a discussion." ”
The old monk said: "Excuse me, how old are you and me, dust is like smoke, white bones are turned into ashes, what is higher than the moment? ”
Huiyang Taoist poured a cup of tea and exchanged wine with the old monk to drink, "Wonderful, wonderful, I don't know the true taste of wine, how can I taste the fragrance of tea, old monk, please eat a meal of meat and meat can always appreciate your face." ”
The old monk smiled: "That's natural, twenty years of time in a flick of the fingers, and the old Taoist you, I haven't seen you for a long time, go, find a clean place, eat a meal, drink a pot of wine, wouldn't it be happy." ”
The two smiled heartily, and when Li Moru reacted, the two had already disappeared from his eyes.
"What two weirdos, coming and going without a trace, really. ”
After Li Moru closed the window, he shook the gourd, the gourd was already empty, so he had to go to bed to rest, the bead curtain was about to fall, swaying in the breeze, and Li Moru had fallen asleep unconsciously.
When I woke up, it was already dark, and there was a crisp sound of fighting outside, and the sound of weapons connecting with each other came from outside the building, and I opened the window to take a look.
I saw a woman in coarse linen clothes fighting with a man in a black shirt, both of them were not weak in martial arts, Li Moru jumped out of the window, squatted on the roof, and secretly looked at the two.
Under the moonlight, the woman wore a hat, a scimitar like a waning moon, a body as light as a swallow, and the person who came to fight back and forth on the roof, the man was thin, dressed in a black shirt, with a jade crown on his head, and looked like he was twenty-six or seventeen years old, with a long sword and light steps.
I only heard the man say something like a witch, and the woman said that the man was a hypocrite.
It seems that the martial arts of the two are comparable, and they have fought for dozens of rounds, but they still don't see who has the upper hand.
At this time, the two of them came to Li Moru's side, and when they saw someone staring at them, they all stopped vigilantly, thinking that it was the other party's people, and they didn't dare to continue to do it.
Li Moru said: "Why don't you fight? Go on, don't worry about me, I'm just passing by, if you think I'm an eyesore, I'll go down." ”
The man said: "I don't know if Your Excellency is a friend along the way, can you report your name, if it is me a decent person, and join hands with me to capture this demon girl." ”
The woman said: "Little brother doesn't look like these hypocrites, why don't you help me take down this hypocrite, how about my Magu Sect repay it?"
Li Moru said with a smile: "I said, I'm just passing by, not a decent person, not a cult person, I just came up to take a look when I was awakened by you from sleeping, it's okay, you continue, I won't hinder you." ”
Li Moru jumped to the top of another inn and sat down like no one else.
The two still didn't dare to make a move, and they didn't know Li Moru's origin, for fear that this kid who suddenly appeared would attack him coldly, which would be a big loss.
