Chapter 646: Monk
Shangguan Ru had a long dream, and when she woke up, she thought that the room full of monks was still part of the strange dream, and then she saw a thin old monk, smiling kindly at her.
"I know you. ”
"We've met before. ”
"Ah, Xiaoyao Haishi Kingdom, you are the Fayan of the Four Noble Truths, the uncle of Master Lianhua. Shangguan Ru uttered a series of names, and suddenly came to his senses, sat up from the felt carpet, and was surprised to find that many of the monks were real.
She was in a large tent, surrounded by monks, monks and nuns, listless, sitting or lying, occasionally talking in whispers, mostly silent.
"What kind of place is this?" Shangguan Ru's mind was dizzy, and he couldn't remember the experience before he fainted.
"The northern forbidden area of the Dragon Court. Fayan replied.
"Forbidden Zone?"
Fayan smiled and shook his head, "No, this is a prison in the forbidden area. ”
"Ahh Shangguan stood up suddenly, and then fell to the ground again, his face was shocked, "My internal strength ......" Then she remembered everything.
She and Old Man Mu explored the palace at night, took out three dry bone pills, and encountered a sneak attack on the way back to the camp, "It's her." Shangguan Ru whispered, she didn't see the sneak attacker, but she was a little familiar with **, it was like a transformed Indra incense in the country of incense, which could make the trick's skill disappear, but it didn't have the effect of the walking dead.
There is only one person who knows how to make Indra incense and can transform it, and that is the lotus girl.
"Why?" Shangguan Ru was puzzled and asked Fa Yan: "Why did you come to the Dragon Court and be locked up?"
Before Fa Yan could speak, a middle-aged monk behind him said angrily: "It's not the old Khan King, he invited us all the way here, and the master said a few words of exhortation not to indulge in lust, and he listened to the slander of the evil demons, saying that the master slandered and locked us all up, saying that whoever is willing to confess the art of immortality or the art of the house will let him out, we are disciples of Buddhism, where did this kind ......of thing come from?"
"Lianqing, your anger is too great. ”
"Amitabha, that's what Master said. Lianqing sat on the futon and chanted in a low voice.
This monk Shangguan Ru also had the impression that he was a robber who became a monk and learned martial arts in order to kill the Dragon King to avenge his brother, but in the end he was influenced by Buddhism and became a real monk, but his temper was still a little hot.
"Your martial arts are very good, why don't you escape?"
"There are forty-three monks locked up here, and if I escape, I will inevitably affect the others, and I don't have the ability to take them all with me. Fayan's tone was gentle, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all.
Lian Qing opened her eyes and couldn't help but interject again: "Master is merciful, but it's a pity that people don't appreciate it." ”
Shangguan Ru also saw that although they were locked up in the same tent, these monks were not united, they were in a group of people, and they didn't care much about each other, which was not the same as the image of the monks in her mind.
"What's the matter? The old Khan king wouldn't be so confused, he actually locked up the monk and the nun together. ”
"Who says it's not. Lian Qing slapped her thigh, but she still couldn't change her habit of being a robber in the past, "I also locked up you here, a little girl like a flower, and wanted to tempt us to break the vows." ”
Shangguan Ru's face flushed, "I'm not a little girl. ”
Lian Qing clasped her hands together, "I won't break the vows for you, but it's not easy for others to say, you should be careful." Lian Qing glanced disdainfully at the few monks in the opposite corner.
"Lianqing, don't talk nonsense. Fa Yan seemed very kind even when he reprimanded his disciples, as if he was discussing politely, but Lian Qing was very obedient, closed her eyes and recited the scriptures, and did not speak for a long time.
The monks who were accused by Lian Qing actually came over, but the target was not Shangguan Ru, but Fa Yan.
"Great monk, it's been a month, and you still hand over the secret and save everyone from the sea of suffering, which can be regarded as a merit. "It was a tall and thin monk who spoke in his forties and fifties, with a majestic appearance, and seemed to have lived in the house for a long time, both before and after he became a monk.
"Master of Bitter Annihilation, I don't have a secret, I really can't hand it over, as for how to rescue everyone, I will slowly figure out a way. Fayan has said this sentence many times, but he can't make the other party believe it.
The monk who had been extinguished sneered disdainfully, and Lian Qing glared at him without joining the argument.
Shangguan Ru once learned the "Theory of Breaking Attachment" from Master Lianhua of the Four Noble Truths, which made the murderous intention disappear, even now, he must recite a chapter almost every day, so he has a good impression of Fa Yan, seeing that he is embarrassed, he can't help but step forward and say: "You monk is so boring, Fa Yan is a high monk in Biyu City, can you still lie?"
Ku Xuan looked at Shangguan Ru coldly, "Who are you, dare to be a 'high monk' when you open your mouth?"
"My name is Shangguan Ru, where are you a monk? Just open your mouth and let people hand over the secret?" Shangguan Ru's murderous intent has disappeared, and his arrogance has not decreased a little, he was in a slump for a while when he was abandoned by his parents, but now he has long returned to normal.
A young monk beside Ku Xuan hurriedly said: "This is the Ku Xuan Master of Beiting Huguo Temple, the little girl is more polite." ”
"He's a master of suffering, are you a 'sycophant' master? ”
The young monk's face was red, and he did not get angry under the signal of bitterness.
"You're also from the Western Regions?" asked Ku Shu.
"Hmm. Shangguan Ru replied with his head held high, and he didn't like these monks from the beginning.
"Who are you?"
Shangguan Ru was speechless for a while, her father used to be the person who loved her the most, but in the end he wanted to sacrifice her senselessly, and every thought of it still hurts, and he is very reluctant to mention him.
Ku Xuan is a native of Beiting, and he doesn't know much about the rumors in the Western Regions, but he also sees that the woman in front of him must be the nephew of Prince Dubu, "Female donor, you don't know, Fa Yan hides the secret of immortality and refuses to hand it over, which annoys the old Khan King, not only affects everyone, but also affects the entire Buddhist sect." ”
"Where did you come from the secret of immortality, you are still a 'master', and you also believe in this kind of words. ”
The young monk beside him rushed to say: "Hehe, you are still from the Western Regions, haven't you ever heard of Fa Yan Gao Shou, he is already more than one hundred and forty years old this year? ”
Lian Qing opened her eyes and stared again, but still didn't speak.
Fa Yan smiled bitterly, "The monks don't speak, the poor monks are really sixty and seven this year, and they have been monks since childhood, so there may be some misunderstandings from the outside world." ”
Ku Xuan didn't say whether he had misunderstood, but lowered his voice and said: "Those demonic immortality techniques are true? There are many exercises in your temple, and there are few that can prolong life? ”
The meaning of suffering is very clear, but Fa Yan took it seriously, and thought for a while, "There are several exercises in our temple, which can strengthen the body, but it is impossible to talk about prolonging life, and the old Khan King is too old to practice." ”
"In the end, either you don't have it, or you don't want to pay. Ku Xuan raised his voice, and the monks and nuns in the tent all cast dissatisfied glances at Fayan.
Shangguan Ru was about to fight up, a middle-aged officer walked in from outside the tent, with more than a dozen servants carrying rice, "Open the meal, open the meal, the same bald head, no one should rob it, the sister-in-law is in the front, and the monk is in the back, huh? Why does one of them even have hair growing? He looks quite standard, come and let me take a look." ”
Shangguan Ru's face was crimson, she had no strength now, so she had to endure her shame and anger, and the young monk beside her looked at her with schadenfreude.
The officer's order had no effect, and he became angry, strode forward, pushing and kicking all the way, and several monks and nuns fell.
"Pretend to be dumb? ”
The officer reached out to touch her cheek, and Shangguan Ru's skill disappeared, and there was still one or two percent of his skills left, so he gently dodged.
The officer didn't expect that he would touch the air, so he was stunned for a moment, waved his arm repeatedly, and tried to catch the loach-like woman, and finally succeeded, but he got the wrong target.
The young monk beside him covered his face and looked at the officer.
"Damn, it's a shame. The officer pushed the monk away, stretched out his arms, and said to Shangguan Ru, who was a few steps away: "If I can't catch you, no one will want to eat today." ”
Although the tent was not small, it was crowded to accommodate more than 40 people, and Shangguan Ru dodged a few steps in a row, thinking about how to get rid of the entanglement, when he suddenly tripped under his feet and almost fell.
The officer rushed in two steps, "Let me see if you are a man pretending to be a woman......
Before the words fell, the officer flew out, and was falling into a large rice bucket, and was hurriedly carried out by two servants, stained with rice, and it was not easy to clean it up.
"Who?," the officer shouted viciously, drawing his sword, and he could see very clearly that the person who shot it was certainly not a little girl.
Shangguan Ru also saw very clearly that the person who saved her was Lianqing.
Lianqing became a monk halfway, and there were many twists and turns in the middle, because of this, he took the precepts of Buddhism very seriously, and the officer's flirtatious behavior made him angry, and he couldn't even care about breaking his anger vows, so he clenched his fists at the moment, glared and said, "It's me." ”
The officer waved his knife to go up, and suddenly changed his mind, when the monks and nuns were imprisoned, Lian Qing had shown martial arts, he knew that he was not an opponent, so he pointed a knife at Lian Qing and retreated to the outside of the tent, "Okay, you flower monk, grab a woman with me, right, give you a chance, you wait." ”
The servants left with their pails, and breakfast was gone.
Shangguan Ru thanked Lianqing, but Lianqing admitted her mistake to Fayan, "Master, I didn't hold back. ”
"Saving people is a righteous act, not a broken vow. Fa Yan comforted the disciple instead, and then looked at Shangguan Ru, "Your light skills are very good." ”
Without waiting for Shangguan Ru to speak, he snorted bitterly: "Saving people is a righteous act, and there are more than 40 people here, and I haven't seen you come to your rescue." ”
The atmosphere in the tent was not friendly, Shangguan Ru sat behind Fa Yan and Lian Qing, concentrating on the exercises, hoping to recover quickly, and wanted to take the antidote to Indra incense, but after the transformation of the lotus girl, the power of the medicine seemed to be greatly weakened.
Before noon, the officer came again, this time with him was a woman, with an indifferent expression, with an obvious killer temperament, Shangguan Ru didn't know her, but knew that this was a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall.
"The old Khan king has an order, whoever can break the color ring in this tent will be let go, and he will be promoted to the rank of knight, and he will not have to be a monk from now on. The woman looked at Shangguan Ru meaningfully, while the officer shook his head lightly in disappointment.
