1. Evil monks
Nanzhan Buzhou.
Within the territory of Datang.
The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is flying for thousands of miles.
The forest is not easy to cross.
This was the conclusion he had reached after repeated confirmation in the cramped hut.
Looking at his yellow-colored self in the bronze mirror, Lin Buyi's heart was full of collapse.
"Where's my handsome face?"
"Where's the sleek hair?"
Yes, he was bald.
But it didn't get stronger.
Instead, he was covered in scars, ragged, and looked a little ...... Malnutrition.
The only thing that is not so shabby in the whole body is a pendant hanging around the neck, which looks like a ...... Drop?
Fortunately, it is not a Buddhist bead.
The scars on his body looked terrifying, but they were all scabbed and didn't hurt much, but there was still some confusion in his mind.
A moment ago, he was obviously in the hospital with his wife who was about to give birth, and his eyes were closed and opened, but he appeared here.
"Wow, blahh—"
There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, from far and near, as if they were coming to his side, Lin Buyi hurriedly turned around and lay back on the bed, closed his eyes, and pretended not to wake up yet.
"Senior brother, are you feeling better?"
The door was pushed open, and a childish voice came.
Lin Buyi decided to wait and see what happened, at least to figure out what era this was and where he was at the moment.
"Senior brother, let's not run away in the future...... Staying here is nothing more than doing more work, as long as you are more obedient in the future, Senior Brother Xuanming will not be too embarrassed for you. ”
Xiao Tong closed the door, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, and picked up the bowl in his hand: "Senior brother has drunk the medicine." ”
Then put a spoonful and put it to Lin Buyi's mouth, seeing that Lin Buyi didn't open his mouth, Xiao Tong sighed again, and poured the decoction down his lips into his mouth.
It's bitter!
Lin Buyi hurriedly gritted his teeth, and the decoction flowed out of his mouth again.
Is this thing medicine or poison?
Where did the scars on your body come from?
According to his will...... Are you really a monk?
Before figuring this out, Lin Buyi made up his mind that he must not eat and drink the things here.
The squinted eyes carefully opened a slit, and a vague figure appeared in the eyes, a small novice, who was looking at himself with concern at the moment, his lips buzzing, muttering:
"I was able to take the medicine two days ago, but is the injury worse today?"
After that, I saw him put down the bowl and spoon, stretched out his hand and leaned towards Lin Buyi's mouth.
Pinch!
Lin Buyi's cheeks hurt, and he wanted to resist but couldn't exert his strength.
"I should be able to take the medicine normally. The little novice's eyes were shining, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Senior brother...... Lin Buyi didn't dare to pretend anymore, and hurriedly spoke.
"Ah, Senior Brother Xuanku, you're awake!" Xiao Shami suddenly smiled and exclaimed, but quickly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Hmm...... I can't let Senior Brother Xuanming hear it. ”
Seeing Lin Buyi looking at him with his eyes open, Xiao Shami lowered his voice and said, "It's scared me these days, my senior brother hasn't woken up, I thought you were going to die...... But since I knocked you out, Senior Brother Xuanming has restrained a bit, no, he helped me chop wood early in the morning!"
Lin Buyi didn't know how to answer, so he could only smile and prop up his body with his arms.
"Senior brother, can you sit up?" Xiao Shami hurriedly stepped forward to support him, allowing Lin Buyi to lean against the head of the bed.
"You drink the medicine soon, I won't tell Senior Brother Xuanming about your wake-up, he will let you work again when he knows about it......" Xiao Shami looked outside the door and said softly, "By the way, Senior Brother, can you take the medicine yourself?"
Lin Buyi nodded, thinking that this little novice was so concerned about himself, it seemed that he should not be a bad person.
"Then I'll rest assured, senior brother drank the medicine and continued to rest, I'll go make dinner and bring it to you later." ”
With that, he slipped through the cigarette and ran out the door.
At this time, the pain in Lin Buyi's body had been reduced a little, he took a deep breath, paused, and began to think about what to do next.
At this moment, as his mind relaxed, a large number of memories suddenly appeared in his mind!
The Tang Dynasty is prosperous, and Buddhism is prosperous......
Dead Wood Peak, Qingping Temple......
His Dharma name is Xuanku......
There are only three people in the temple, the senior brother Xuanming, the third senior brother Xuanqi, and the second in line......
Master Fakong went down the mountain six years ago and never came back, and when he left, he told the three brothers to love each other and not to go down the mountain......
Xuan Ming's temperament changed greatly after his master went down the mountain, relying on his strong body to bully the two junior brothers, asking them to bring tea and water, laundry and cooking, and often beat and scolded when he was a little unhappy......
Lin Buyi's face showed a burst of depression, it seems that his start is quite miserable!
After a few moments, as his memory gradually improved, he finally knew how he came to be in his current situation:
As the weather became colder and snowier for several days, and the mountain was about to run out of firewood, Xuan Ming came up with a bad idea: let the two junior brothers take turns to warm his bed.
Xuan Qi was used to being oppressed and didn't feel anything wrong, but Xuan Ku couldn't bear it anymore, so he thought of the only way - to run away and go down the mountain.
Anyway, I can't beat it, and if I stay here, sooner or later I will be tossed to death, even if the master repeatedly tells the mountain that it is very cruel, but where can it be more ferocious than Xuan Ming's torture?
So Xuan Ku packed his luggage and fled down the mountain overnight, but there was too much snow on the mountain, and no one went in or out, so it was inevitable that some traces would be left when going down the mountain.
And Xuan Ku was small and frail, much worse than Xuan Ming, and was chased by Xuan Ming early the next morning.
This was followed by a whipping, only halfway through, Xuan Ku fainted and never woke up again.
............
"Wow, blahh—"
There was another sound of footsteps.
Could it be that Xuan Qi went and returned?
Lin Buyi shook his head, this time the footsteps were obviously much heavier than just now, it was Xuan Ming!
He quickly closed his eyes and lay back on the bed again, while raising his vigilance in his heart, he picked up a short stick next to the bed and hid it in the quilt.
"Senior brother?"
Xuan Ming pushed the door and walked in, calling softly, with a slight ...... in his tone Concerns?
Lin Buyi closed his eyes, and his heart did not dare to relax in the slightest.
"Senior brother, a few days ago, senior brother was too impulsive, and he accidentally hit a little heavy, you ...... You don't mind, do you?"
Lin Buyi had a trace of doubt in his mind, why did Xuan Ming's attitude suddenly change 180 degrees?
Or is there something wrong with the memory in your head?
"Senior brother, our master Feige passed on the book, saying that he will be back in a few days, and you will have to help your senior brother say a few more kind words...... You see that Senior Brother also boiled you a decoction of solid foundation Peiyuan, how good it is for you!"
"Senior brother?"
"Xuanku?"
Seeing that Lin Buyi was unconscious, Xuan Ming stood in front of the bed and watched quietly for a long time, and then gritted his teeth, as if he had made some difficult decision.
After Lin Buyi saw through the gap in his eyes, a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart.
"Since you haven't woken up, let's sleep forever!"
"Lest you wait for the master to come back and then sue me for my black state!"
Before the words fell, I saw that his eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, and he raised his hands and slammed down Lin Buyi's neck!
