Chapter 237: On the Shortcut to Self-Judgment
"What are you looking at?" Sensing Dugu's gaze, the Shuhu girl sitting on the side immediately reached out and grabbed Li Si's collar, glared at this person and asked.
She inexplicably had a feeling that she had to guard against this man, otherwise something strange might happen.
"Oh, hug, sorry. Dugu's mind was still in a mess, and he was glared at by the Shuhu Girl, so he responded blankly, and looked away from him blankly.
"What's wrong?" Li Si asked suspiciously, looking at the Shuhu girl who was pulling her collar.
"Pay attention to yourself!" Hatred turned his head to Li Si and said again, and the Shuhu Nu immediately tightened Li Si's collar, almost strangling Li Si to the point of losing his breath.
What should I pay attention to?
Breathing hard, the expression on Li Si's face became more puzzled, did I do anything, complaining about the hot weather?
In short, he couldn't think of a result. After Dugu Bufu and Shuhu Nu had left, he walked to the water tank by the courtyard depressedly, soaked a piece of linen cloth in some cold water, and applied it to his forehead.
Whew, finally more comfortable.
After wiping his body with a burlap cloth casually, Li Si walked out of the yard and walked towards the kitchen.
The recent meals have been prepared by the Tiger Girl, and seeing that she is in a bad mood today, let's go and help.
He has always been a person from the heart, if the Shuhu girl sprinkles an extra handful of salt in the dish because of her mood, then he can't eat it. So it's better to keep an eye on the point, it's always safer.
This day's dinner was made by Li Si and Shuhu Nu together, and there were not many dishes, but they were also meat and vegetarian.
called Dugu no longer recovered, and the old monk also walked out of the Buddhist hall and had a meal with them.
After living in Jinshan Temple again, Li Si found that the old monks now rarely eat and drink, and the amount of food has been reduced to one meal every two days. Looking at his appearance, Li Si consciously found the reason for his description of withering.
But Li Si didn't say much, because he thought that this might also be a way for the old monk to suppress his inner demons.
Appetite is also desire, if you can have less desire, maybe you can have less demonic nature.
As for why the monk sometimes comes out to eat, Li Si can only make a not very good conjecture about this.
Perhaps, when fasting, his demonic nature is greater than that of Buddha.
Dugu no longer knew the relationship between the old monk and Li Si, he only knew that the old monk was the person Li Si wanted to kill.
But judging from the past few days, the two do not look like the kind of enemies who want to share life and death.
He didn't quite know why, but he didn't say much. Li Si didn't say it, he didn't ask.
During the meal, the four people at the dinner table seemed very quiet, Dugu Bufu and Shuhu Nu didn't have many words, and Li Si was not in the mood to talk more.
Until the old monk glanced at the sword placed beside Li Si, he groaned and spoke.
"You've found the sword, what's it called?"
Li Si paused with his hand holding chopsticks, then picked up a piece of boiled meat and put it in his mouth, saying while eating.
"Rotten wood. โ
He had already told the old monk this name once, and now he asked again, it was obviously not a normal situation.
"Rotten wood. The old monk repeated the name, half a ring, and also took a piece of meat, put it in his bowl, and ate it with rice.
"Good name, perfect for you. โ
At this moment, Dugu Bufu and Shuhu Nu's eyes were attracted.
Although they don't know the old monk very well, they all know that a monk shouldn't eat meat.
Dugu didn't think much about it, but thought, isn't this old monk a wine and meat monk?
But the Shuhu Girl heard Li Si mention the situation of the old monk, and almost subconsciously, she reached out and held her sword.
"Rest assured. The old monk's gaze fell on the body of the Shuhu Girl in an instant, and he smiled and said.
"I'm just out to show my face, and he's not going to let me do anything to you. โ
The atmosphere around the dinner table suddenly fell silent.
Until the old monk looked down at the table and said.
"Okay, let's eat, what a good dish, don't waste it. โ
Li Si looked at this person deeply, nodded and said.
"Well, let's eat. โ
He knew that he couldn't be impulsive at the moment, he should trust the old monk more.
At least for now, it seems that this demon can't do anything wrong.
But if he does it now, the other party is likely to fight to the death, and that can only be a lose-lose situation.
And not to mention that Shuhu Nu and Dugu Bufu are still on the side at this time, even if Li Si is the only one here, until the last moment, he doesn't want to use his sword against the old monk.
Because he believed that the old monk would create a suitable opportunity for him if he really wanted him to do it.
This is what he knows about the old monk, and it is impossible for this person to let go of his demons.
In the ancient temple, the four of them never said a word again.
It wasn't until dinner was over, the dishes and chopsticks were cleaned up, and several people got up and left. Li Sicai sat in front of the hall and silently wiped his sword.
The sword called Rotten Wood.
The sword has no blades, no carvings, no decorations, it is just a sword, but it does not look like a sword.
The hilt of the sword feels a little heavy when held in the hand, and it is much heavier than a normal sword.
After pulling out the scabbard, the blue-black sword body could not reflect the slightest light and shadow, standing under the moonlight, as if a lonely shadow was independent, I don't know where it came from, and I don't know where it will disappear.
This sword is inexplicably cast, but it also inexplicably fits Li Si's mind.
It's really a flustered sword that makes it so crude.
Li Si sat under the eaves, facing the moonlight behind the ancient tree, and thought while rubbing his sword.
"Today, the monk is a little strange. At this time, a voice suddenly came from him.
Li Si looked back and saw Dugu standing behind him.
"Don't you really need me to help you with anything?" Looking at Li Si who turned around, Dugu asked again.
"No, you don't. Li Si retracted his gaze and continued to rub his sword.
"It's between me and him, and I don't want to get involved. โ
โยทยทยทยทยทยทโ
"Hmm. After the silence, Dugu didn't respond, then hesitated for a moment, looked at Li Si and said.
"So, have you always been like this?"
"How's it going?" Li Si asked suspiciously, obviously not knowing what Dugu was talking about.
"Don't show people who they really are. Dugu said lightly.
What he said was naturally the shrouds he saw during the day, and the things he thought Li Si had been covered.
"Really?" Li Si frowned for a moment, then let go again, wiping the blade in his hand and replied.
"Believe it or not, what you see now is who I am. โ
"Whew. A breeze blew, and the candle flame in front of the hall flickered, causing the figures reflected in the firelight to deviate a little.
Dugu didn't speak anymore, just looked at Li Si quietly, and after a long time, he put down the sword he was holding in his arms and said.
"In that case, then I won't ask any more questions. โ
He felt that he had understood Li Si's situation, and it was nothing more than a crooked path.
If you can't recognize yourself, you must be hindering your cultivation.
thinks that he has figured out everything, and his heart is also a lot more open-minded.
For the sake of his past friendships, he will try to help Li Si once, but if he can't help, he won't do anything superfluous.
Because in his own opinion, he only has a sword in his heart after all, and now that he has finally let go of his doubts about Li Si, he is even more convinced of this matter.
Dugu no longer left, and that night, he wrote a letter to Yan Jinling, who in his opinion, was the best at mixing flowers.
In the letter, he only asked Yan Jinling one thing:
What does it take for a woman to understand that she is a woman?
