Chapter 42: Nosy
Zhang Banxian was shocked and hurriedly got up to look around.
Thinking that the silver that was about to arrive was gone, I only felt that anger came from it, and evil was born in guts, and today I must teach this little bastard who has gone back on his word and slipped away a lesson!
"Little rabbit, you dare to play tricks with your grandfather Zhang, it's really blind, I also taught you to distinguish materials and sort out your veins for you in the morning. ”
"You run, you can run, and the monk can't run the temple!"
"Even if you can escape for a while, you don't want to show up when the free auction is free, I'll be here to defend it, I don't believe you won't come back, grandpa, I have time!"
Zhang Banxian gritted his teeth angrily, grabbed the cloth flag, walked out of the auction hall quickly, and looked around, looking for Mu Chen's figure.
He searched inside and outside the Eight Treasure Pavilion three times, but he didn't see a familiar figure, and he was even more sure that Mu Chen was deliberately avoiding him, and he thought of no less than eighty ways in his mind to make Mu Chen regret the decision he made at this moment.
Walking out of the Eight Treasures Pavilion in a huff, Zhang Banxian suddenly saw a familiar figure on the street of the stall outside the Eight Treasures Pavilion, but on the other side of the figure, it was ......
"Senior brother, please stay!"
Mu Chen stood in front of the tall and burly monk, bowed with both hands, and bowed to him.
The tall and burly monk looked at Mu Chen at a loss, looked Mu Chen up and down, and finally saw the sect pattern logo on his cuffs, knowing that it was also a monk from the seventy-two sects who blocked him.
But Zhu Jiantang said that it was not big, and that it was really small that it was small, and the yellow-clothed monk thought that Mu Chen was here to take the initiative to make friends, so he frowned and responded indifferently.
"What's the matter with you?"
Mu Chen smiled slightly and pulled him to a place where there were few people on the street.
"Senior brother, it's actually ......"
"Actually, the thousand-year-old agarwood you just auctioned at auction is less than a thousand years old. ”
"Because of this agarwood, although the texture and shape are similar to the thousand-year-old agarwood, when the host scrapes off a little and ignites it, the aroma is less than the most unique red clay flavor of the thousand-year-old agarwood, and the weight of this volume of thousand-year-old agarwood is too much. ”
"So it's less than a thousand years. ”
Mu Chen opened his mouth several times, and finally said the words that had been held in his heart for a long time in one breath, and at the same time, a burst of refreshment and excitement surged into his brain, and the whole person relaxed a lot.
When he looked up excitedly, he saw that the tall monk's face was gloomy, and he guessed in his heart that he had spent a lot of money to buy materials that were less than a year old, and that he should feel uncomfortable at the moment, so he wanted to comfort him.
But before he could open his mouth, the monk suddenly opened his mouth and cursed.
"It's really gibberish, inexplicable!"
"Our Huangsha Sect and your Zhujian Hall have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, you little Taoist priest, but why do you want to belittle the thousand-year-old agarwood I bought?"
"You'd better disappear from my eyes immediately, and I'll act as if nothing happened just now!"
"If you dare to talk nonsense in front of me again, or go elsewhere to slander me indiscriminately, don't blame me for not giving face to Zhujiantang, arrest you and go back for interrogation, and then let your sect leader Xuan Qingzi personally come to my sect to ask for someone!"
The monk of the Huangsha Sect was furious, and said that he was going to sacrifice the immortal weapon to give the monk in front of him a good look!
Mu Chen naturally didn't expect things to turn out like this, and he wanted to explain, but someone suddenly grabbed him by the collar, and he was dragged away dozens of meters into a dark alley.
He turned around with a confused face, only to see that it was Zhang Banxian who dragged him away, and he was very puzzled and aggrieved in his heart, and he could only talk to the old Taoist priest at this time.
"Senior, why did you pull me to run away, could it be that the knowledge of refining materials that I told me in the morning was all nonsense?"
Originally, Zhang Banxian was already tired and panting, sweating profusely, and when he heard Mu Chen's question, he was even more out of breath, and before his body could recover from it, he pointed at Mu Chen's nose and scolded angrily:
"Grandpa, grandpa, I have been refining for more than 70 years, refining for more than 70 years!"
"The refining time is older than your Bamboo Sword Hall Sect Master Xuan Qingzi, you doll dare to say that I am talking nonsense!"
"You—You're really ......"
Zhang Banxian pinched his waist, he was dizzy by Mu Chen's anger, as a monk, he couldn't speak for a long time, and at this moment he could only hold the cloth banner to calm down.
When Mu Chen heard him say this, he was even more puzzled.
He slowly walked out of the alley, looked to the right side of the street, and found that the Yellow Sand Sect monk had already left, turning into a yellow light and disappearing above the autumn city.
Turning back to Zhang Banxian's side, Mu Chen's face was full of loss.
"Since the seniors are all right, then, why is he so angry after I told the senior brother of the Huangsha Sect about the thousand-year-old agarwood?"
"Is it because my realm is still low and the strength of the sect is not strong, so I have no credibility when I speak?"
After Zhang Banxian calmed down for a while, his anger disappeared a lot.
He looked at the half-grown boy in front of him, only sixteen or seventeen years old, obviously still underage, but his mind was so heavy, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
Thinking back to his dissuasion, he went to find the Huangsha Sect monk who had been cheated as soon as the auction ended, and he was both angry and regretful in his heart.
He tried to adjust his posture and hook up with Mu Chen, trying to make his words sound more relaxed and casual.
"Credibility?"
"No, no, no, no, it has nothing to do with that kind of thing. ”
"Hey, boy, didn't you ever think about what other people really want?"
"What does that mean?"
"In fact, to put it simply, you are too addicted to your own world. ”
"Although sometimes this is a good thing, it will make you more focused in the process of cultivation, and you will be very attached to what you have said and promised, so this situation is a bit difficult to explain......
"Why don't you ask me this, have you ever caused distress to others because of your attachment in the past?"
Mu Chen was originally depressed, but when he heard Zhang Banxian ask like this, his eyes suddenly widened, and the picture of Qin Xiuzi on the bamboo mountain after he left flashed in his mind.
I don't know why, in the past four years, he has been cultivating on Zhushan, and many details that he has not paid attention to have surfaced one by one.
Fu Yi often reveals loss and worry......
After Senior Brother Wei Min came back drunk that day, he was suddenly stunned......
The elder brother hid in the house every night and cried bitterly......
The sigh of the fourth senior brother, as well as the doubts and forbearance in the eyes of the other senior brothers......
At this moment, he suddenly realized something, those true emotions that were most inadvertently revealed, were like a heavy punch, hitting Mu Chen in the face.
Even Xuan Qingzi's reprimand for him never made him feel like he was broken.
Self-blame, regret, and......
Probably sad.
Zhang Banxian saw that Mu Chen's mind was shaken so violently, and he really didn't guess wrong.
He recited the Tao Sutra silently again, and used his aura to guide Mu Chen through this calamity.
Although knowing that he would speak so bluntly would definitely shake his heart, this is also the only way for a person of this character to go on the path of cultivation.
Even if Zhang Banxian didn't say it explicitly at this moment, he didn't break through this obstacle, the seeds of obsession had already been planted in Mu Chen's heart, and the longer the obsession fermented, the greater the impact on subsequent enlightenment.
After all, he himself was affected by a similar influence back then, which led to his own ceiling and no chance to step into the avenue......
