"Donor, it's been this hour, it's very dangerous in the wilderness, there are many fierce beasts on this mountain, they don't appear during the day, but they often come out to forage at night. ”

If you really don't want anything, the more it will happen. The more you don't want to meet people, the more you will meet people.

The young monk's tone was gentle, but what puzzled Shen Shi was that there were too many ring scars on the other party's head.

Shen Shi doesn't know much about the scars of Buddhism, but there is no custom of burning scars in this era. Anyway, the monks Shen Shi has seen are all bare-headed, basically without scars.

The custom of burning ring scars is said to have originated in the Yuan Dynasty, when a monk Zhide was revered by Yuan Shizu, and when he passed on the ordination, he stipulated that each person who received the ordination burned incense on the head, and the novice ordination burned three pillars of incense, and the bhikshu ordained burned twelve pillars of incense, as a lifelong vow. Such a small invention was quietly spread and passed down from generation to generation. Of course, this is a bad habit that harms the body, and it is a small local specialty of Han Buddhist culture. Here we can also see a characteristic of the Han Buddhist cultural circle, simply put, that is, in the later stage of the development of Buddhism, the "popular faith" has much more powerful energy than the "elite culture" composed of a very small number of thinkers (Buddhists). The Yuan monk Zhide, who invented the incense burning scar (commonly known as the "hot incense hole"), is not a Buddhist scholar at all, but his small invention is widely and far-reaching and incomparable to the doctrine of any famous monk after Huineng.

Of course, it cannot be said that there are no monks with burnt scars in this era. For example, Emperor Wu of Liang of the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty, Emperor Wu of Liang was a fanatical Buddhist, he gave up his life as a monk in a Buddhist temple three times, and was redeemed by the minister with a lot of money to the temple three times. At that time, he granted amnesty to death row prisoners all over the world and made them believe in Buddhism and become monks. However, they were afraid that they would escape from the monastery and commit crimes again, so they used the punishment (a criminal law of tattooing characters on the face) as a model, and burned the scars on the head so that they could be identified and captured at any time, which was the beginning of the burning of the vows by Chinese Buddhists.

That's how the ring scar on this monk's head came about, but Shen Shi is not a historian. I didn't understand what the scar on the monk's head meant.

And these ring scars are red, as if they have just been burned out of new meat, faintly shining in the night, so although this "monk" is smiling gently, Shen Shi feels that this kind of smile is only described as weird.

"Donor, donor?"

The young monk Shen Shi didn't speak, so he walked slowly down the mountain ladder and walked down the mountain ladder.

"The donor is lost, now Lanruo Temple is not open to the public, and the internal ceremony is being carried out, the donor or please go back, and it will be open to the public here after a while. ”

It was "Lanruo Temple" again, and Shen Shi's heart sank. What does Lanruo Temple represent, and what kind of Tao is it?

As he spoke, the young monk had already walked down the ladder, which was originally nothing, but just a few seconds ago, the young monk and Shen Shi were at least a few dozen meters apart.

Speed is still at hand.

"Master, what is Lanruo Temple? Why are there so many Lanruo Temples?"

Shen Shi opened his mouth, asked the monk, and looked at him seriously.

Hearing Shen Shi's question, the young monk nodded.

He explained: "It turns out that the donor came out of curiosity. In fact, the Sanskrit name of Aranya, which originally means forest, is extended to "quiet place", "idle place", "far away place", a place to hide from the bustle of the world, and some houses can be used for Buddhist disciples to live and retreat, or one or several people. ”

At this time, the young monk was already within ten meters of Shen Shi, but he was still approaching.

"Thank you, Master, for your advice. Since it was inconvenient to be late, I went down the mountain. I know the way down the mountain, so I don't have to worry about it. ”

Shen Shi turned around and was about to enter the barren grass, and the moment he turned around, the corners of the young monk's mouth curled.

"Amitabha! ”

Poof.

While speaking, as he spoke, a bone spur broke out from the ring scar on the top of the young monk's head, and bloodshot could still be seen on the white bone spur.

"Up the mountain, down the mountain. Red dust is bitter, it is better to transcend ......"

Poof, poof, poof......

The first, second, and third bone spurs rushed out of the ring scar on the top of the young monk's head, and blood flowed down the young monk's cheek. The monk's face showed an increasingly kind smile.

Emperor Wu of Liang was a fanatical Buddhist, who had sacrificed himself as a monk in a Buddhist temple three times, and was redeemed by the minister three times with a large sum of money from the temple.

Buddhism didn't accept it three times, but he just loved money, which made Emperor Wu of Liang very angry. He entered the Buddhist disciples as a prisoner in revenge.

Three hundred years in a hurry. Many of the prisoners died. However, when the immortals and gods of heaven and earth leave, there will always be the power of Xuanmen left. Not all of those who get this power are good people.

And here, the land of the dragon. The dragon power of death is also the power of the dragon. If you get it, it's chance.

Shen Shi was facing away from the young monk at this time, the young monk stretched out his tongue and licked the blood that had slipped to his lips.

Seeing the young monk move, the bone spurs on his head struck Shen Shi like arrows off the string, extremely fast but silent.

Each bone spur flashed with metallic light in the air, shooting straight at the back of Shen Shi's head, if Shen Shi was caught by this claw, the hollow bone spurs would instantly absorb Shen Shi's brain.

The bone spurs came silently, but the person in front of him seemed to be unaware, the young monk's mouth was grinning, and he seemed to have seen that he could regain his brains, memories, and life.

Shen Shi tilted his head slightly, and the Sword Pill Automatic Protector appeared behind his head, meeting the bone spurs that shot in.

Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!Zheng!

The five bone spurs blocked the sword pill one by one.

Seeing the sword pill flying out, the young monk immediately knew that this was not an ordinary person, and the idea of swallowing the flesh and blood of this human being alone disappeared, but whenever there was a flying sword, even if it was just a sword pill, it was not something he could fight against, and he immediately wanted to shout.

However, how could Shen Shi let him call for helpers, the long sword was in his hand, and his backhand was to stab him.

However, the young monk did not flee, not only did he not flee, but immediately shot out a new bone spur to meet the sword stab in Shen Shi's hand. is worthy of being an extremely vicious person, and his courage and reaction are not comparable to ordinary people.

Ordinary people will only hide in the face of such a situation, but the most vicious people rub their bodies.

Still, that's fine. He wanted to take down Shen Shi, and Shen Shi also wanted to take him down. Grabbing a tongue is also good for Shen Shi.

Bite.

The bone spurs that shot out were directly cut off, and the young monk's painful eyes widened.

"Into the ......"

At this time, he really believed that he couldn't take the person in front of him.

It's just that he didn't succeed in calling for help at the beginning, and at this time, he had no chance. Shen Shi reflexively reversed the hilt of his sword, and this one could be described as a powerful one, smashing into the young monk's chin with the whistling wind.
