Chapter Twenty-Three: Finding Out the News
Wang Hong looked around again and found that there was no one, so he continued: "Shhh, the secret of heaven must not be revealed." I also occasionally heard it in the monastery, and I heard that several disciples discussed this matter in public, and as a result, they were expelled from the mountain by the monastery. β
"In this case, this may be true, otherwise why can't the nunnery, which belongs to the same family, be discussed? I wondered.
"That's right, this is obviously fooling people, eh, I heard that the scenery of the mountain behind Fahua Temple is charming, peach and willow green, let's go to the back to play. β
"You want to play before you have been here for a few days. I sighed deeply.
Wang Hong didn't know why, and said suspiciously: "What are you sighing for, now we can enter the temple, you know, all the princes and kings are very respectful of the Buddha, so they never hit the temple, we have a stable job, except that we can't marry a wife and have children, and make meritorious contributions, there is nothing bad." Wang Hong said proudly.
I was upset at the moment, if only I had a cigarette at this moment, I hadn't smoked for more than two months, and my whole body was so itchy that I wanted to take two puffs of my nose when I saw someone making firewood, and said, "Is there any dry tobacco for sale here?"
"What kind of dry tobacco?" Wang Hong frowned.
I thought about it, yes, there was no cigarette smoking in ancient times, it seems that tobacco that can be smoked appeared in the Central Plains after the Ming Dynasty. It's over, now I don't have a chance to smoke at all, and it's hard not to quit smoking this time.
"It's okay, I asked you to inquire, how did you inquire. I changed the subject.
"As you said, the disciples in this temple are really divided into upper, middle and lower classes, but this is a secret rule, Mingli will not say this, Mingli is the same. β
"I know this, and then how about learning martial arts?"
"Yesterday, I specially set up a few disciples who know martial arts, and they are all first-class disciples in the temple, and they are first-class disciples. β
I hummed.
They also said that only when the status of a disciple reached the first level would the master begin to preach martial arts, which was the rule of the superiors. Of course, if the relationship is good, even if the disciple's status is not first-class, he will teach you basic body-strengthening exercises such as standing on piles, meditating and practicing qi, which can be regarded as laying a good foundation for practicing martial arts in advance, and is not considered to be passing on martial arts. But very few people in the temple can get this treatment. β
"How long did it take to climb to the first rank disciple the fastest. I was a little upset.
"There is a disciple of Dingzi generation in the temple, named Dinghong, eight years ago, only one year old, his master began to call him to stand on the pile, three years later he was promoted to a first-class disciple, his teacher began to teach martial arts with him, and now he is a deacon in the temple. This is in the temple, it can be said that it is on the rise. Ordinary people can only be promoted to first-class disciples if they don't stay up for ten or eight years, and they can't make a little mistake in the middle. Wang Hong said this, also sighed, and left a sentence: "You can't make a little mistake just by doing, it's very difficult for me to do this, and it seems that I can only have food and clothing in the temple in this life." β
This is a thousand difficulties for Wang Hong, and it is also a thousand difficulties for me.
First of all, I am not a person who keeps to myself, and it is really helpless to be a monk. Second, let alone eight years and ten years, even if it is two years or three years, I can't wait. In ancient times, there may not have been much change in ten or eight years, and people are just a little older, but in modern society, it may be a earth-shaking change.
Ten or eight years later, what happened to my parents? Are they okay? Is my fiancΓ©e still waiting for me? And my good friends, everything about me, won't there be any change?
Obviously, this is not possible. However, the reality may be worse than I thought. Because even if I have to be promoted to a first-class disciple after ten or eight years and study martial arts hard, if I want to achieve a small success, it will take at least five or six years, at that time, the daylilies will be cold into yellow mud, no matter how great my ability is, it will be useless. Therefore, I had to take action and not wait for hard work to achieve myself.
Thinking of this, I was suddenly glad that I had accepted the beggar martial arts secret book who claimed to be the master of Fahua Temple, and now the situation in the temple is exactly the same as what he said, presumably this secret book is also true, so I don't have to work hard for ten or eight years to practice martial arts.
"Empty, you can inquire about me again when you are free. β
"Can you not call me empty, it feels weird. β
"Okay, emptiness, you ask if there is a martial art called Fuyang Shenzhang in the temple, and if there is any in the temple that can read Sanskrit. β
"Okay, I'll help you ask if I'm free, why are you asking about this. β
I looked at the word "Buddha" printed on the wall, and said lightly: "I want to do a big thing." β
Soon, Wang Hong and I began a boring and boring life in Fahua Temple. The life of the monk is naturally light and simple, and the master stipulates that no yelling and shouting are allowed to lie, so between the disciples in the temple, if there is nothing important, they generally do not talk casually, and they call their names when they meet, and they are over with two words of greeting. As for any entertainment, that's something you don't have to think about.
Therefore, after finishing the work at hand every day, they go to eat, and after eating, they go to meditate, and after meditating, it is dark, but in the monastery, except for the abbot and deacon of the leading class, who can use oil lamps, the rest of the disciples can only act in disgrace at night. Therefore, everyone has to sleep even if they don't want to.
Every time I thought about my family and my fiancΓ©e in the temple, I was saddened, and in order not to let my mind collapse, I had to divert my attention and focus on studying the qi sword.
I think this accident traveled to ancient times, and there are two things I must never lose, one is my life, and the other is this air sword.
I was thinking, at that time, I picked up this air sword, and then stepped on the dark abyss, before crossing to the Warring States, in this way, this air sword is the key to my return, or a key, it is a key to open the door of time travel.
In the middle of the night, when I couldn't sleep, I would always take out my air sword and look at it carefully. Even in the dark night, through the faint moonlight outside the window, you can see the crimson jade tablets on the scabbard. But it's only a small part, and as a person in the temple, it's really not easy for me to increase the anger value of the qi sword.
So I thought, in this case, why don't I take the initiative to provoke the other party? In this way, I can quickly increase the anger value of the qi sword, and I can test my thoughts more quickly, and see what will happen after this crimson jade piece is full, maybe after it is full, I can cross again?
Thinking of this, I suddenly got up and sat up, patted my head, and shouted: "Yes, why didn't I think of it, if this is the case, why should I wait until the master said to learn martial arts and save the common people? β
At this time, another disciple who lived in the same room with me turned his head to look at me and wondered, "Senior Brother Kongming, are you okay, is there something uncomfortable?" βγ
"It's okay, I'm just dreaming. I smiled, shook my head, and sighed, "It's like this in the temple, even if you make others unhappy, very few people are angry with you, so it is extremely difficult to add anger to the qi sword in the temple."
But there are always opportunities.
