Rising Sword Chapter 116 Sooner or later, you have to go down the mountain

Not to mention that there is no chance!

But what should I say?

Xi Yatou, who has always been carefree, is a little worried at the moment.

Zhang Shaoyang's interest in learning swordsmanship, after dancing more than ten times in a row, he was already sweating profusely.

He wiped his sweat casually with his cuffs, and saw that there was only Xi Wu in the distance, and Yao Sanming was nowhere to be seen.

He grinned, then trotted to Xi Wan, sat down with a faceless ass, picked up the water bag and poured a few big mouthfuls, and shook his flowing hair with great satisfaction.

"Oops, it stinks to death, sweating all over!" Xi Wan moved to the side in disgust.

"That's right, you women don't always like to talk about stinky men!"

Zhang Shaoyang snorted and saw a stream in the distance, he sniffed the sweat on his body, and he was also disgusted.

"I'll go wash up, don't peek!"

"Shameless, who peeked at you!"

"Hahaha, that's not necessarily!"

Ignoring Xi Wan's frowning, Zhang Shaoyang walked straight to the river, took off his upper clothes, poured the still cold water on his body, and washed off the sticky sweat.

After about half a cup of tea, he changed into a set of clean clothes again, and his whole face was radiant, and even the fatigue of rushing with these days was swept away.

"Ah, comfortable!"

Zhang Shaoyang groaned obscenely, and without asking Xi Wan's consent, he found an open space next to Xi Wan to lie down, and his feet naturally cocked Erlang's legs, looking like a cynical prodigal.

"Don't say, the only thing I got from this trip is that I am not afraid of the cold. ”

Xi Wan inexplicably didn't want to talk to him, so she turned around and looked up at the clear blue sky.

"I said Xi Wan, why are you sad and sad, are you reluctant to me?"

"I can't bear you? I wish I would stab you to death with a knife, and save you from talking nonsense for a day. ”

"Hey, don't be so ruthless, sure enough, the book says well, the most poisonous woman's heart!"

After teasing a few words, he found that Xi Wan seemed to be really angry, Zhang Shaoyang didn't dare to continue to provoke, so he changed his tone and said: "Actually, you should be happy, and then you can ask the master to accept you as an apprentice, didn't you really want to apprentice at the beginning, and now as soon as I leave, don't you have a chance?"

"Actually, he is an old man, and he still admires you, at least much better than me. Zhang Shaoyang laughed self-deprecatingly, and in the distance, Yao Sanming came out of the forest with a wild object in one hand.

Xi Wan thought for a long time, and finally thought of saying something to Zhang Shaoyang, but Yao Sanming scolded in the distance, and Zhang Shaoyang had already turned over and ran over.

"Eat the roast chicken and roast rabbit made by your kid today, you have to make something delicious for the old man. ”

"Well, Master, just look, half an hour, the fragrant roast chicken will be in your hand. ”

Yao Sanming smiled, and while walking, he lowered his voice and said, "Xi Yatou didn't say anything to you?"

"Nope!"

"Huh, that's weird!"

Zhang Shaoyang was confused, and when he saw Yao Sanming's strange expression, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, what does Xi Wan want to tell me." ”

"How do I know!"

"Then you said she..."

"The old man asked casually, let's go on the fire!"

......

This delay, after all, did not arrive at Jiangling City at night, in the town that is still dozens of miles away from Jiangling, the three of them found an inn to stay, in fact, it is still early, if you speed up the foot, plus the moonlight is good these days, it is not a problem to rush to Jiangling.

The reason why I chose to live here is because it is very close to Lantuo Temple, and a few miles from the town, it is where the Lantuo Temple is located.

Yao Sanming said that he was going to Lantuo Temple to meet an old friend, Zhang Shaoyang happened to have not seen the monk for a long time, and he wanted to go to see him too, and burn incense on the pillar by the way.

Early the next morning, the three of them packed up and walked in the direction of Lantuo Temple, the mountain is extremely quiet, many fruit trees and flowers are luxuriant, the whole mountain stream is filled with a fragrant smell, and the melodious sound of the morning bell is heard in the distance.

The so-called nostalgia, hearing the bell of Lantuo Temple, Zhang Shaoyang already missed everything in Jiangling, and was a little excited in his heart.

Because of Yao Sanming, this time the three of them did not go up from the back mountain, but chose to go up the mountain from the front door, this early in the morning, the pilgrims on the mountain road have begun to increase, all of them are pious, and even can see the believers who take three steps and one bow and nine steps and worship.

In contrast, Zhang Shaoyang and the three of them went up the mountain much faster, and after a while, they arrived in front of the main hall of the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

There was a little monk in front of the hall, who was looking at the only main way up the hall in a daze, and muttered: "Master asked me to come to this hall to wait, but will that guy go up the mountain from the front door?"

Probably accustomed to Zhang Shaoyang always sneaking up from the back mountain, the monk was a little drumming in his heart, but since the master said it, it was naturally right.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a familiar figure to slowly go up the mountain, and the monk smiled stupidly: "Master is really right again, he really went up the mountain from the front door." ”

Zhang Shaoyang also saw the old acquaintance, and even took him with him a little stunned, this monk didn't wait for him in the back mountain before, how could he run to the front mountain today, it should have been a coincidence, well, it must be so.

It's just that he just turned the stunned look on his face into a smile, prepared a big bear hug and wanted to go to the monk to talk about the old relationship, the monk's eyes just glanced at him, and then turned to Yao Sanming and said: "This is Master Yao, my master specially asked me to wait again." "Hackers

No face!

Anyway, we're acquaintances, hey, why don't you get close to me first?

But Zhang Shaoyang was very sure that he was ignored, and the monk didn't even have the desire to greet him at all.

"Okay, I'm tired of the little master. Yao Sanming was rarely polite.

Zhang Shaoyang understood two things in his mind, the first thing, the monk really didn't happen to wait here for someone, and the second thing, the monk's master, that is, the big monk with a withered face, seems to have some friendship with Yao Sanming.

Under the guidance of the monk, he soon arrived at the place where the old monk was cultivating, and when he reached the edge of the stream, the monk stopped, and then pointed to the old monk who was like a dead wooden stake in the distance and said, "Please come over to Lord Yao." ”

Yao Sanming nodded at the monk, and then raised his feet and walked over there, Zhang Shaoyang was about to follow, but the monk stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Master said, let the little monk take the two donors around the mountain." ”

Zhang Shaoyang didn't want to face the boring old monk, but when he heard the monk's words, he immediately smiled: "Okay, let's go go elsewhere." ”

Seeing his precious apprentice and the little monk hooking up and gradually moving away, Yao Sanming shook his head with a smile, no longer caring about the affairs of a few juniors, but walked towards the old monk, and when he passed the water flow as thin as a silk thread, he stopped for a moment, and then continued to walk forward.

The old monk's eyes were closed, no breath was spurted out of his nose, and his complexion was even more black and purple, no matter how he looked at it, he was a dead person.

Yao Sanming didn't bother, he found a stone and sat down, feeling the quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the pure land of this Buddhist gate, which seemed to be mixed with a little violent atmosphere.

About a moment later, the old monk made a 'snort' in his mouth, and spit out a mouthful of turbid breath visible to the naked eye, he said lightly, and the eyes he opened were all black, and it was not until a few breaths later that some of the whites of his eyes gradually appeared.

"Old fellow, how did you make yourself like this. ”

The old monk finally relieved himself, and when he saw Yao Sanming not far away, he showed a jerky smile: "Hehe, the Buddha wants six roots to be pure, but it's a pity, the longer the old man stays in this mountain, the more chaotic his heart becomes, and when his heart is confused, he can't talk about six pure roots." ”

"Of course, as long as you are still human, you can't be pure. ”

The old monk nodded in agreement, and then he looked at Yao Sanming carefully, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal: "The donor has gained a lot in the past ten years!"

Yao Sanming quipped: "I'm afraid it's better than you." ”

"Not necessarily!"

"Try it?"

"Then give it a try!"

On the back mountain, the sword light rises, and the Buddha light is monstrous!

Not far away, there is a monk on duty in front of the mountain gate is striking the bell, and the majestic voice spreads throughout the entire Lantuo Temple, and also comes out of the empty mountain, drifting towards the deep mountains and old forests in the distance.

The little monk faced the direction of the bell, put his hands together, and silently recited the Heart Sutra, until the bell stopped, he slowly opened his eyes, and there was a little joy in his eyes.

"Monk, you are lazy, no one knows. ”

"The Buddha knows!"

At the mention of the Buddha, the little monk bowed his head reverently.

"I think you're in a spell. ”

The little monk didn't care, and the three of them continued along the path.

"Monk, what do you say we are comparing this time?"

Zhang Shaoyang was a little depressed, after comparing so many times, he still lost to the monk once, but after so many years, he wanted to compare, and he really couldn't think of anything to compare for a while.

The monk smiled: "Otherwise, this time it won't be compared." ”

"That's not good, I've lost you once, I've got to get a game back. ”

The monk hesitated for a moment, and then said seriously: "Shaoyang, I'm going to the capital." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoyang instinctively didn't believe it, and even instinctively wanted to laugh at it, the monks didn't speak, but when he suddenly understood that the title of the monk in his mouth had become 'Shaoyang', and his own becomingness had changed from 'little monk' to 'me'.

The smile on his face that had just climbed up froze inexplicably.

"To the capital?"

"Well, yes, Master said that I copied the scriptures well, and recommended me to go to the translation academy. ”

"Aren't you afraid of trampling on your little life? Don't you even dare to go down the mountain?" Zhang Shaoyang wanted to sneer, but the tone of his voice was a little more concerned.

"Sooner or later, you have to go down the mountain, Master said, if you live in a corner and are afraid of planting cause and effect, then you are bound to a cage and have no hope of becoming a Buddha. ”

"When are you leaving?"

"It's just a few days, I've already left, and I want to wait for you to come back to see you before leaving, so it's delayed. ”

"It's good, you're just like the one who got promoted and made a fortune, and when you enter the Translation Academy, if you mix up with the abbot, it will be bullish. Zhang Shaoyang smiled, then said again: "But monk, if you leave, the two of us won't see each other for a long time." ”

The monk didn't answer, and after a long time, he said in an almost trance: "The little monk has a Dharma name, called Jueyin." ”

"Okay, Xiaoguo!"

I couldn't think of anything in the past, but this time Zhang Shaoyang remembered that this playmate who had been with him for many years was named Di Xiaoguo.

Both of them froze, looking at the mountain col where they came, where the sword qi was horizontal, the Buddha's light was shining, and the peace of decades was broken today.
