Chapter Twenty-Three: A Thousand Calls Have Not Come Out, and a Stick Drink Freely

"It's almost time, let's go!" said the old man, raised his legs and left.

The delicate woman did not move, looking at Xiaochuan and the two.

The two of them understood, and followed closely behind the old man with a broken intestine, and the delicate woman followed him.

The group of four came to the foot of the mountain outside Maple Town in a few moments.

Ogawa had learned from his mouth that there was an ancient ruin here. There is a powerful formation prohibition outside the ruins. The people in Xiuzhen heard the wind and moved, and they all wanted to run to try their luck.

At the foot of the mountain, there were more than four or five thousand people. or talking to each other, or calling friends, or being hostile to each other, secretly guarding against each other.

Where the four of Xiaochuan stood, within a radius of more than ten zhang, there was no one else. Xiaochuan guessed that everyone must be afraid of breaking their intestines and touching their heads.

Xiao Chuan also found that in front of him and the others, about forty or fifty zhang, under a huge maple tree, there was a Taoist standing in a dark cyan robe, with white hair and a ruddy complexion, and a pine pattern ancient sword diagonally inserted behind his back.

Opposite Xiaochuan and the others, a hundred feet away, on the boulder, a person dressed as a Confucian scholar, as if there was no one around, lay sideways on the stone, closed his eyes and recuperated.

In front of Ogawa and the others about forty zhang to the right, there were five women. Four young women, about 20 years old, wore goose yellow dresses, and all of them were unusually beautiful. The person in the center is thirty years old, dressed in palace clothes, and his face is so bad that people dare not look at him directly.

These three places are the same as those around him, and within a radius of more than ten zhang, no one else is close.

A moment later, people arrived, but they all joined the chaotic crowd.

Ogawa was full of curiosity, eager to see what the said ancient ruins looked like.

After looking around for a while, he didn't find any trace of the ancient ruins, and he was a little impatient, so he turned his head and asked the monk.

"This ancient relic is hidden somewhere in this space, and it may appear once every hundred years or so. This year, the space here has fluctuated again, so fellow cultivators have come here to meet the opportunity!" Monk Yu explained.

"In other words, everyone is waiting here. What about people, if they love to come, if they don't come, these people will wait in vain, right?"

Monk Yu smiled: "So to speak!"

"Has anyone ever been in there?" Ogawa asked.

"Strange to say, the cultivation realm has also found many ancient cultivation relics. Some also have extremely strong formation prohibitions, but due to the passage of time, the formation prohibitions may become invalid, or they will be broken little by little, and the people of the cultivation realm will always get some benefits from it. However, this ruin is unpredictable, and the prohibition is so powerful that no one has been able to enter it so far!" said with a smile on his head.

"I'm not sure if there's a flatbread, when I'm uncertain, I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat it, so many people are coming!" Xiao Chuan couldn't help but laugh.

"There are many more people who have not come here, and once there is news, I am afraid that they will arrive immediately! The greed of people is excessive, which can be seen!" said with a wrinkled bitter melon face.

"Then what are you doing here, didn't you say that your Buddhists are pure in heart and have few desires and are not attached to external things?" Xiao Chuan already had a certain understanding of Buddhism through casual conversation, so he asked this question.

The color of compassion on the face of the bitter gourd was even worse, and he clasped his hands together and said: "My Buddha is merciful, every time I explore the ancient ruins, the cultivation realm will set off a bloody storm. The poor monk came here to chant sutras for the souls of the dead. ”

Xiao Chuan was speechless and thought to himself, "It turns out that you are the most boring." Others are here to get rich, you, alas, let me tell you what is good!"

Suddenly, he remembered something again, and hurriedly took out the cyan porcelain bottle containing medicine from his arms, and handed the rosary in his hand to Xiao Chuan, and said: "Lord Xiaochuan, I see that you have Buddha bones in your body, Buddha nature in your heart, and I have a relationship with my Buddha. This elixir is given to you for self-defense. It is also the poor monk who appreciates your rescue. ”

Xiao Chuan shook his head again and again, and said: "I still want to be an official, and enjoy the happiness of big fish and meat, this fate is the best." As for it, you don't need to say thank you, I didn't help at all, I deserve it!"

"If the ancient ruins appear today, the poor monk may not be able to retreat with his whole body, and the help of the benefactor of Xiaochuan will not be reported, and the poor monk will feel uneasy!"

Xiao Chuan became angry, and said now: "You said that Buddhism is not interested in appearance, but you are obsessed with this matter in your heart, isn't it just about appearance." And you keep saying that you are practicing the Hinayana teachings, and you are an ascetic monk who participates in Zen meditation, which is different from the enlightenment method of the Mahayana teachings. Do you have to divide your Buddhist family, and cultivating Buddha is cultivating Buddha, and what size it is, isn't it also a matter of appearance? What other Mahayana teachings become Buddhas and cross people, and Hinayana teachings do not cross the world, and they do not become Buddhas. Your brain is really broken, does it matter when you become a Buddha, don't you just remember to cross people!"

Xiao Chuan also talked nonsense, but after listening to it, he stood in place as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes closed, and he did not say a word.

Xiao Chuan saw that he was in such a state, and he didn't know why, so he regretted it very much, and he made the monk stupid when he talked nonsense.

Just when Xiao Chuan was anxious, his body was bright, and a pair of eyes slowly opened, and his eyes were bright.

He clasped his hands together, nodded and smiled at Xiao Chuan, and said: "The poor monk has not entered the realm for many years, but he is in the way, and today he has been enlightened and realized the true meaning of Buddhism. However, a song of requiem has damaged my mind, and today is probably the time for me to sit in Nirvana, and I hope that the benefactor of Xiaochuan will cherish himself!"

"What, you're saying you're going to die! Oh my God, I killed you!" Xiao Chuan was deeply remorseful when he heard this, his eyes filled with tears, and he kept rolling in the circles under his eyes.

The abnormality that appeared around Xiao Chuan and the others quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"It's broken, someone wants to advance!"

"Just in time for this time, isn't this adding to the chaos!"

"At that level, who is it?"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and everyone was in a mess.

The old man with a broken intestine was experienced, glanced at him and said: "This monk wants to achieve Buddha relics, but it's a pity, I have no intention of killing him, but he also died because of me, it's a pity!"

Ogawa didn't know why, looking at the crowd that had dispersed, and he didn't know what had happened.

The delicate girl ran out of the way, but found that Xiaochuan was still standing in place. I couldn't help shouting: "Idiot, come with me, after a while, the clouds will fall, and the jade will be burned, do you want to die with him?"

At this time, the wind and clouds suddenly changed color, and the original clear sky was full of dark clouds of no less than 100 acres. All of a sudden, the sky darkened.

As soon as the delicate girl saw that she was in a hurry, she rushed back, picked up Xiaochuan and left.

"Why don't you help him!" Ogawa shouted urgently.

"Helping others through calamity will cause great damage to cultivation at the least, and death at the worst, only fools will do it!" replied the delicate woman.

Xiao Chuan suddenly shook off the delicate girl's hand, turned around and ran towards him...
