Chapter 22 The Old Monk Who Eats Meat

That night, Fang Xiaodao and the father and daughter of the Miao family spent the night in the camp of the Four Seas Gang, and saw Fu Yanping and Fu Pengyao, but Fu Pengyao greeted them and did not talk. It is estimated that he already knows the identities of the two, but he has some things in his heart, and he is reluctant to talk, which is related to what Fang Xiaodao said during the day.

Fang Xiaodao couldn't sleep at night because he had a lot of things in his heart, but in the middle of the night, he heard a burst of broken footsteps, and some people gasped loudly, as if someone had escaped.

Fang Xiaodao sat up, but saw a black shadow running out of the camp. Fang Xiaodao felt strange, from inside the camp, did he need to run out in such a hurry?

Fang Xiaodao took advantage of the moonlight, but saw that this person was actually Fu Yanping.

Fang Xiaodao didn't think about paying attention, after all, Fu Yanping's temper was indeed very bad. As a result, not long after she ran out, another person also walked out, and walked to Fang Xiaodao's side.

Fang Xiaodao pretended to sleep for a while, and this person said, "I saw you, you don't have to pretend to be asleep." ”

As soon as Fang Xiaodao looked up, he saw that it was a person who looked quite similar to Fu Pengyao, with a very long beard, it was Fu Yihui.

Fu Yihui said: "You come with me." ”

Fang Xiaodao nodded and followed Fu Yihui out of the camp.

After walking for a while, the two of them heard someone sobbing quietly.

Fu Yihui said: "For more than ten years, she has been holding on. ”

Fang Xiaodao was silent.

Fu Yihui said: "Baihumen, I will go there in person, but there is one thing I want to ask you." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Senior, please speak." ”

Fu Yihui said: "Why did you save the yin and kill the ghosts during the day?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "I just think that even if he is a person full of evil, since he dares to call him chivalrous, he should not be tortured." ”

Fu Yihui said: "You are an ancient Taoist. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Since Ling Ai can find them, then there is no need to worry about revenge." ”

Fu Yihui said: "Yes, you can finally take revenge." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "The seniors are looking for it, it won't be just for this matter, right?"

Fu Yihui said: "I will return the favor and send you a message, but the stakes are very high, you must not be in a hurry." ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"

Fu Yihui said: "Ye Cibei has been here, he is looking for Qiu Fenglan to avenge you!"

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Fu Yihui said: "I want you to do me a favor, find Ye Cibei, and then, I ask him to do me a favor." ”

Fang Xiaodao didn't understand, even Lu Hanting was here, did he still need Ye Ci's help in the matter here?

Fu Yihui sighed and said, "Have you heard of Mu Qianyi?"

Fang Xiaodao nodded and said: "I heard Miao seniors mention that one of the four sons of martial arts, the martial arts family, the famous sword dragon spine, is the family heirloom sword of the Mu family, and since a hundred years, it has been known as the first divine sword in martial arts. ”

Fu Yihui said: "Yes, that sword is indeed extraordinary, but that sword is not in his hand now." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "It's not in his hands, why?"

Fu Yihui looked at Fang Xiaodao and said: "On the way here, he met Ye Cici and was snatched away by Ye Cici, and now he is still looking for Ye Cici." ”

Fang Xiaodao said curiously: "He doesn't use a sword, what is he doing to grab the dragon's spine sword?"

Fu Yihui said: "Ye Ci doesn't use a sword, but there is a person who is close to him who uses a sword, and this person is very important to Ye Ci Bei. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Who?"

Fu Yihui stared at Fang Xiaodao and said, "Isn't it Your Excellency?"

Fang Xiaodao was shocked: "No, I definitely have no intention of coveting the Dragon's Spine Sword. ”

Fu Yihui said: "I know, but Ye Cibei doesn't think like this, he will want to give you the best sword so that you can go to the next level." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Senior, I have no intention of martial arts, no matter how good the sword is, I won't want it." ”

Fu Yihui saw that Fang Xiaodao's expression was serious when he said this, and it didn't seem to be fake, so he nodded and said, "That's good, please also ask Fang Shaoxia to help him get back this family heirloom sword." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "If I see it, I will definitely let him return it, if I can't see it, then I'm really sorry, I won't look for it." ”

Fu Yihui was a little displeased and said: "Fang Shaoxia just said that he was not interested in swords, why do you say that now!"

Fang Xiaodao said: "Then we are pursuing the heart of martial arts and moving forward, why did the senior ask me to ask for it instead of letting him take it back himself?"

Fu Yihui was stunned for a moment, but Fang Xiaodao said that he had a shortcoming, if he was a few years younger, he still had the ambition to compete with Na Ye Ci, but now he didn't want to. His son-in-law is a useless gentleman, that is, he has the ambition to compete, but he is afraid that he will be powerless. However, since he has a heart of extreme martial arts, he should not admit defeat in the first place, and if he does this by himself, wouldn't he admit defeat to Ye Cimi!

Thinking of this, Fu Yihui said to Fang Xiaodao: "I have learned, thank you Fang Shaoxia." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "No need, Fang Xiaodao has just entered the rivers and lakes, and he has already seen the hearts of the people." This is goodbye, thank you seniors, and the last heart of the rivers and lakes is also dead. ”

After saying that, he left, without the slightest hesitation.

Fu Yihui looked at his back, standing up to the sky and the earth, a man should be like this!

After a long time, Fu Yihui is still guilty, he is an old man, he always has some vigilance against deceit, he always has some distrust of others. Fang Xiaodao is young and lacks experience in the rivers and lakes, but he is doing it right, which is not common in the rivers and lakes and is very rare.

Fang Xiaodao didn't want to go back, although he was a little embarrassed to say goodbye without saying goodbye, but the matter was not over yet, he would definitely take revenge, and he would leave only after seeing Yin Sheng and Su Ruoyao, and he should still have a chance to say goodbye to the Miao family's father and daughter.

Fang Xiaodao walked all the way, and as he walked, he stayed away from the Valley of Broken Souls.

Until dawn, Fang Xiaodao came to a completely unfamiliar place, when he came, he followed the father and daughter of the Miao family, and now he realized that he didn't know the road at all.

The water was murmuring, and the square knife washed and peeled the freshly caught rabbit in the clear water, and then roasted it on a fire.

Such a leisurely day was not uncommon before, but now it has become a luxury. At first, I was a little sad, but then I remembered the cheerful life of the past, and couldn't help humming a mountain song, "The little girl next door to the east, hiding behind the house to watch the lover, hairpins with brocade new clothes, how did he come to see his father, his parents were happy to slaughter pigs and sheep, how could he not see him selling frivolously, listening to the ears and hiding shy to hide, and the red clothes will be in the cave room in the best period." ”

After singing it again, I thought it was quite good, so I opened my throat and sang it several times.

After the meat was cooked, Fang Xiaodao walked while eating, turned a mountain col, and suddenly became enlightened. But it was an old tree, and an old monk entered his eyes.

The old monk went to the old tree, standing still, and there was a Zen staff standing next to it. This staff is very simple, just a handy wooden stick. But the old monk sat there, as if he was one with the old tree and the Zen staff, and he sat there, as if he had grown there. He is not a person, he should be an old tree, a Zen staff and something that can't be moved, that's why he is so stable!

I don't know why, Fang Xiaodao felt embarrassed, hid the meat in his hand behind him and prepared to sneak away.

Just when he had already crossed the old monk two steps, the old monk suddenly said, "Little donor, please stay." ”

Fang Xiaodao stopped, the rabbit meat was always hidden behind him, and said respectfully: "Master, do you have any advice?"

The old monk smiled: "The little donor's song is very interesting, but this rabbit meat is not interesting, a burst of fragrance wafted by, and the old monk can only be greedy." ”

Fang Xiaodao had a feeling in his heart that you disappointed me that you are not a good person, and he also felt that it was not embarrassing for the monks to see him eating meat, but he himself liked it quite a bit.

Fang Xiaodao scolded in his heart but didn't say anything, took out the rabbit meat, tore off the part that had not been bitten and said, "In that case, master, please." ”

The old monk looked at the rabbit meat, took it in his hand and said: "Everything in the world, there is life and death, my Buddha is merciful, educate my Buddhism, do not be greedy and kill, this benefactor's charity meat, but not the old man is greedy and killed, good and good." If you don't eat, you will abandon it, the vitality of the rabbit can not be pitied, and it is dead, and the food can comfort its will and abandon it. ”

Fang Xiaodao didn't expect that this old monk could be so shameless, he ate it, and said that he killed it, and the sin was not him. Moreover, since the rabbit is dead, it is not wasted to eat, and in order for the rabbit not to grow fat and tender in vain, it must eat something to make it die blindly.

After the old monk finished speaking, he stuffed the rabbit meat into his mouth, but he didn't gobble it up, and ate it very slowly.

Fang Xiaodao said: "Master, where is the treasure temple, who is your presiding officer, can you allow you to worship the Buddha in the next incense, and discuss the master's cultivation path with the presiding officer?"

The old monk was stunned for a moment and said: "This, that's okay, the old man is practicing in Futu Temple, and the donor can go at any time." ”

Fang Xiaodao had also seen the masters of the Futu Temple yesterday, but he didn't know any of them. In his eyes, the people in Futu Temple should all be profound in Buddhism, and they are all good people who are compassionate in the martial arts. I never thought that someone would not abide by the rules and precepts and still be high-sounding, this kind of meat-eating thing, people eat any wild monk secretly when no one is around.

Fang Xiaodao said: "Then, do you host and ignore you?"

The old monk shook his head like a rattle and said: "He has always been very strict, and he will never tolerate the destruction of the rules and precepts. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Then if you go down, it won't cause inconvenience to the master, right?"

The old monk said: "Xiao Shi is mainly going, and the old man must sweep the couch to greet him, just serve some vegetarian tea, which is not as good as the meat that the little donor invited me." ”

Fang Xiaodao said with interest: "Master, in your temple, are there many people who secretly eat meat?"

The old monk took a bite of the meat, his fingers seemed to be counting, and after a while, he said, "Why don't you steal and eat a hundred and eighty!"

Fang Xiaodao's eyes widened and said, "You are the number one Zen sect in the world, why have you become the number one wine and meat temple in the world?"

The old monk nodded very seriously and said, "What the little donor said makes sense!"

Fang Xiaodao and the old monk finished eating, they washed their hands, Fang Xiaodao was about to say goodbye, the old monk said: "Little donor, where are you going, is it the Broken Soul Valley that is subduing demons and eliminating demons?"

Fang Xiaodao shook his head and said, "No, but it's not the Broken Soul Valley where demons and demons are subdued, it's just a place where countless people have broken their souls." ”

The old monk said, "Oh, how do you say this?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "You have to kill all the demons to subdue the demons, then the justice is just to fight violence with violence." If it can only be like this, then no one will ever put down the butcher's knife, and those who become Buddhas on the spot don't have to think about it. ”

The old monk nodded and said, "The little donor said it well. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "I'm just talking nonsense, I hope the master won't laugh at it!"

The old monk said: "What is your name, little donor, I think the two of us are high mountains and flowing water!"

Fang Xiaodao said: "My name is Fang Xiaodao, how dare I have the same smell as the master, I dare not be." ”

The old monk didn't feel embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Fang Shaoxia, and there has been a lot of news about Fang Shaoxia recently." The old man has heard about it, and I have heard that you are a hero. ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Don't dare to do that." After speaking, he looked around and said, "Who said that, why do I still like to listen to it?"

The old monk smiled: "It's the old man!"

Fang Xiaodao smiled: "You old monk, you really don't look like a monk. ”

The old monk said: "There are two kinds of monks, one is to abide by the rules and precepts, and the other is to be dissolute, but the heart is still compassionate, isn't this not a monk?"

Fang Xiaodao said: "It may not be that the people who are compassionate are all monks, right?"

The old monk was stunned for a moment and said: "That's the truth, but the old man is in the Buddha Gate, is it because he has eaten some meat, can he be regarded as turning his back on my Buddha?"

This time, Fang Xiaodao had nothing to say, looked at the old monk and said, "Old monk, you can really speak." ”

The old monk smiled and said: "I see that the little benefactor Yintang is black, and there will be a bloody disaster in the near future!"

Fang Xiaodao looked at the old monk and said, "Master, you are dying early!"

The old monk said: "I am a premature appearance, but I have lived until now, and the little donor has a bloody disaster, and I think I can turn evil into good fortune." ”

Fang Xiaodao said: "Master, others say that the family doesn't speak, I just passed the bloody disaster, but you say that I have the bloody disaster." If you're serious, you'd better say I'm premature. ”

The old monk shook his head and said: "The donor is deeply blessed, not a person who died early! Even if the donor is unlucky for a while, I see that you have a fate with my Buddha, and you should be born when you meet the Buddha!"

Fang Xiaodao said helplessly: "Master, I have met you, will I be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

The old monk said: "The mortal body is just my Buddha's disciples, and the one who can solve the difficulties of the donor should be the true Buddha." ”

After speaking, the old monk turned his head and said as he walked: "The donor remembers, he was born when he met the Buddha, he did not cross the water, and his heart sword was dustless, and he was the great road." ”

Fang Xiaodao was stunned for a moment, but it was the old monk's voice echoing in the empty valley, only to know that the old monk was a master in the world, and he was about to catch up and ask for advice, but he was nowhere to be found.

Fang Xiaodao never understood what the old monk's words meant, but he felt that although the other party couldn't understand these words, the saying "the heart sword is dustless, and Fang is the Great Dao" is quite reasonable. A swordsman, if the heart sword is stained with too much red dust, it is not only life that is bound, but also the way of the sword. But where is the avenue, this is what many people can't get in their lives, and he is too young and experienced to get in.

Su Ruoyao and Huo Fengcheng traveled together, because Huo Fengcheng said that he was being chased and killed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to escape alone. Su Ruoyao was angry at the beginning, feeling that even if she was famous in the rivers and lakes, she might be a wicked person and a hypocrite, so she made up her mind to keep Huo Fengcheng. She actually didn't know what kind of person Chen Han was, and she didn't know why Huo Fengcheng was hunted down. But after a long time, she felt strange, Huo Fengcheng was one of the four sons of martial arts, why was he hunted down by Chen Han. If it is a personal feud, why is it at that time, shouldn't Huo Fengcheng be in the Miao family at that time!

Su Ruoyao looked at Huo Fengcheng and said, "Huo Gongzi, why were you chased and killed, why did you never talk about this section?"

Huo Fengcheng sighed helplessly: "Hey, this matter is a long story, it's just some old things, it should be that although my father was chivalrous, he didn't understand human feelings! It's just that the sword has no eyes, Chen Han was hit by his father's sword, and he was reprimanded by his father. As a result, Chen Han was ashamed and determined to take revenge. It's a pity that my father went early, so I can only take revenge on him. ”

Su Ruoyao, it is true that Chen Han did not explain the reason that day, but only said that he had some personal grievances, which was consistent with Chen Han's words.

Huo Fengcheng said: "Miss Su, don't you believe me, if I hadn't chased Fang Xiaodao and left, this would still be in the Miao family!"

Su Ruoyao thought of Fang Xiaodao, and immediately said irritably: "Don't mention this person again." ”

Huo Fengcheng said: "The girl hasn't forgotten yet, why is she thinking about the girl, the girl is turning a blind eye, but Fang Xiaodao can be so lucky?"

Su Ruoyao had never heard such a burning love story from a man to herself, and she was so confused for a while that she no longer had the heart to think about the reason why he was hunted down.

At this moment, a horse suddenly galloped on the avenue, and the person on the horse was Ye Cibei.

The faces of the two changed greatly, it turned out that these two had seen Ye Cibei along the way, and they had also seen Ye Cibei make a move.

On that day, the two passed by a barren mountain, and Ye Ci fought with several people and killed all those people, the reason was just that these people had a good relationship with Qiu Fenglan, and they had recently taken in Qiu Fenglan who had escaped. Therefore, the two of them were a little afraid of Ye Ci's ruthlessness, but at this moment, the two of them were also on the road, and there was nowhere to hide.

Ye Ci's horse ran over and stopped suddenly, the horse neighed for a while, and the two of them were even more unsettled.

I only heard Ye Ci say compassionately: "The two of you stay here, you have something to ask for advice below." ”

The two men stood, but each of them pinched the hilt of his sword, not daring to look back.

Ye Cibei said: "Don't be afraid, the two of you are not looking for trouble, I just want to ask, I heard that Fang Xiaodao has arrived in the Broken Soul Valley, is this matter true?"

Su Ruoyao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said, "Ah, he arrived in the Valley of Broken Souls?"

Ye Cibei frowned and said, "Do you know him?"

Huo Fengcheng was taken aback, and said that he might be exposed, so he hurriedly turned around and said: "Of course I know, we still have some friendships, if the predecessor wants to find him, he is in the Broken Soul Valley at this moment, participating in the battle to destroy the Broken Soul Valley!"

Ye Ci said compassionately: "Is this true?"

Su Ruoyao was about to speak, but Huo Fengcheng preemptively said: "Of course it's true, how dare you deceive your predecessors, Fang Shaoxia is a warm intestine of the ancient way, and it is definitely incumbent on him to eliminate the demon and defend the way." ”

Ye Cibei sneered: "Hmph, what kind of ancient way is hot, what kind of demon removal and defense way, I think that the famous and decent people who deceive the world and steal their fame are better at it than others." I only kill people based on mood, not at all. ”

When Su Ruoyao heard this, she suddenly felt that Huo Fengcheng had done the right thing, if this person heard that the two of them knew about Fang Xiaodao's affairs in the Miao family, maybe he would kill the killer.

Huo Fengcheng said: "Yes, the predecessors are really free and uninhibited, and I admire them." ”

Ye Ci said compassionately: "Admire, you are also a villain with the wrong mouth." ”

Su Ruoyao looked at Ye Cibei and said, "The seniors have the same heart, but they are still against chivalry. ”

Huo Fengcheng was taken aback, for fear that Ye Ci would make a move.

Who knew that Ye Ci smiled and said: "Yes, little girl, you are right, I am not a chivalrous person, and I have no mercy." It's just that there is a person who is chivalrous and compassionate, but he is not a person in the rivers and lakes at all. You say, the best and most chivalrous people in the world are not people in the rivers and lakes, so are the rivers and lakes still chivalrous?"

Su Ruoyao was stunned and said, "Who is the predecessor talking about?"

Ye Cibei said: "Hmph, of course it's that Fang Xiaodao, no matter what, he can't be a person in the rivers and lakes, since you know him, if you meet him, tell him, Ye Cibei told him, go back immediately, never go out of the rivers and lakes again." With that, he slapped the horse and galloped forward.

Su Ruoyao had mixed feelings for a while, is he really the most chivalrous and compassionate person, Su Ruoyao also thought he was very good before, but now, he is already struggling to think about it.
