Chapter 2 Transactions with Shaolin
The fragrance entangles the space, and the leisurely Zen drifts. The whole room was not big, nor was it as dark as Pan Dao had imagined, but on the contrary, it was very bright. The furnishings inside are also very simple, a couch, two futons, a table, and several chairs. Only a rhyme character hangs on the wall, and the big Buddha character blooms with immeasurable light.
Pan Dao's eyes narrowed, he glanced at the Buddha characters and looked at the abbot sitting cross-legged below, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why was he so old? His gray eyebrows were long and drooping, his old wrinkled face was shrugged, he was dressed in ordinary monk's clothes, and he was chanting with a rosary in his hand.
The abbot heard Pan Dao's approaching voice, and slowly finished reciting the last verse, and he looked up unhurriedly, only to see that his eyes were full of brilliance and full of energy. "You're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time. â
Some surprises, but also some flattery. Pan Dao looked at the old monk and clasped his hands together, "Abbot, you seem to have guessed that I would come, aren't you surprised at all?"
"There is a cause and effect, and cause and effect are reciprocated, Master Pan Shi, you have a relationship with Shaolin, how can I not know it. The abbot replied to the question, and he looked Pan Dao squarely and smiled.
Pan Dao was silent, for a long time, walked straight to the abbot's side, sat down on the couch, and the small table on the other side was facing each other, and his eyes became a little unpale. The voice was also a lot stricter, "Abbot, can I call you Master Wu?"
Enlightenment nodded, and at this time, he watched Pan Dao completely put down the Buddha beads in his hand, "Enlightenment is my Dharma name, even if I don't think I can be called a master, but if you want to be called this name, I can be calm." â
"Master Enlightenment, do you know why I'm here, and don't mess with me anymore, I don't think you're going to make me scruple about saying that. Pan Dao asked again, and at the same time he immediately blocked the abbot's sharp words.
"In fact, that's not the point, when your martial arts reach the Grandmaster, you can naturally look into the future for a while. I explained indifferently. Then he began to say to Pan, "I know why you're here, so how about we make a deal?"
Pan Dao was immediately stunned, and the monk in front of him seemed to be more philistine than he imagined, completely overthrowing his own image. "Master, don't you think this rhythm is a bit empty?"
"It's a little, but it's nothing." Warriors must move forward bravely, even I dare to do this as a believer. Is there anything you don't feel comfortable with?"
"Buddha is the Tao, the martial arts heavenly path, the enlightened master, you want to change the concept, it seems that you can't even do the basic honesty of the transaction, how can you reassure me. Pan Daau didn't want to expose more of his cards, so he had to fight bravely.
Wuwu glanced at Pan Dao, and the essence in his eyes flashed. "Everyone in the world thinks that I Shaolin is the head of the righteous path and the dearest ear of martial arts. A hundred years of fame is where my confidence lies, can't you rest assured, Mr. Pan?"
Pan Dao said angrily, "Of course you can't rest assured, the two of us are trading." Out of this room, who would believe it?" sat opposite Master Wu, and did not give an inch.
The Zen fragrance is deep and invigorating. Pan Dao's consciousness was unprecedentedly gathered, and he looked at Master Wu, not knowing what to think. Xuzhu stood aside and did not speak. As if there was no zĂ i at all.
"Mr. Pan, Lao Na didn't even explain the content of the transaction, and you were already in a hurry to refuse. Why don't you listen to what the monk said before making a judgment?"
Pan Dao frowned suddenly, and glanced at the other party deeply, "Master Wu, can you tell me what the future holds?"
"In the future, if you talk about it, it won't work. And the future is changing all the time, even if you know it now, what can you do?" Wu shook his head, saying that he couldn't do anything about it, "Master Pan, Shaolin will keep you from the Star Sect to repay you for the cause and effect of going to Shaolin this time, but I hope you can help me Shaolin in the future and resolve a Shaolin catastrophe." â
Pan Dao didn't agree immediately, but said, "Master Wu, as the abbot of Shaolin, with the hundreds of years of Shaolin Temple, there are some things you should know better than anyone else, the Star Sect is not my biggest enemy, but the Freedom Sect, isn't it?"
"Pan Gongzi, Lao Na is not confused, although the Xiaoyao faction is the strongest being, but it is not your worst enemy, you attach too much importance to the glory of Xiaoyao, and ignore the enemy in front of you. Ding Chunqiu, everyone looked at him in small numbers. Enlightenment still insisted on his opinion, and the rosary in his hand worked again, leaving the choice to Pan Dao.
How could it be Ding Chunqiu, could it be that he was even more harmful than Li Qiushui, Wu Xingyun, Li Canghai, and Wuyazi of the Carefree Sect? It was even worthy of Master Wu to value him so much, and even use it as a transaction. Pan Dao couldn't think through it for a while, and couldn't help but feel a little speechless.
The enlightened master did not bother, and sat and chanted quite quietly, and the essence of the Dharma was like a lotus blooming. Xuzhu finally moved, he actually sat on the ground, and after a while, wisps of white smoke came out of his head, which was the innate realm of the three flowers gathering on the top and the five qi coming from the top.
Pan Dao Muran woke up, he saw that Xuzhu was not talking, and he didn't know what he thought. In an instant, Pan Dao finally understood what Master Wu said, the future is really changing all the time, at least Xuzhu's fate has changed. Then, maybe something has changed, the butterfly effect is becoming more and more obvious, and you should really prepare early. What Master Enlightenment said also makes sense, he attaches too much importance to the Freedom Sect and ignores the crisis in front of him.
Pan Dao understood that it is impossible for the content of the original book to remain unchanged in reality, just like Ding Yiyun's life, there has already been a fork. Not to mention Ding Chunqiu, at least it was impossible for him to learn and refer to the Phaseless Divine Skill before. Perhaps because of these, the crisis he is facing is even greater.
"Master Abbot, I agree to the deal. I can't promise it, but I'll do my best. Pan Dao said sincerely, his eyes swept to Xuzhu, and he stopped talking.
Knowing what Pan Dao meant, he just nodded, "It's already good that you have this heart, then the transaction begins." Pan Dao was silent, and realized that Pan Dao was thinking, and took the initiative to explain, "Are you worried about Xuzhu?"
"Yes. Pan Dao was not polite, he looked at Satoru, hoping to get an explanation.
"It's a wonderful thing to look into the future. But the price paid is unimaginable, and forcibly changing the fate of others is even more against the sky, for my fate, I have already predicted it, it doesn't matter. Speaking of Xuzhu blandly, he obviously didn't take this matter seriously.
Pan Dao finally couldn't help it, he asked for the second time, "Can the future really be seen and changed?" (To be continued......)
