Chapter 65: Yin or Yang Pair
The two of them sat leisurely in the store like this, and it was not unusual for a small shop like this to not have a single person in a day.
Lu Chongyang gambled with the old monk on this proverb, in fact, he had his own intentions. I think that ordinary people, there is no one who is willing to become a monk or a Taoist priest! So the biggest possibility is that even if someone comes, they will not be willing to worship the two of them as masters. In this way, the words of the old monk will be self-defeating, which means that any Buddha understanding is nonsense.
Just when Lu Chongyang thought that he wanted to be more patient with the old monk, suddenly someone really came. I saw a six- or seven-year-old boy walk in, with no hair on his head, and a leprosy scar on his head, which looked like a monk's ring scar. Lu Chongyang roughly counted the past, and drank! There were ten, the same as the Dharma Patriarch and the Sixth Patriarch Zen Master! He was dressed in rags, but his body was exceptionally strong, Lu Chongyang secretly said: "Is this what people often say about a person raised by heaven!" Looking at the child's face again, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a lion's nose and a wide mouth, it is an ordinary appearance, and it also gives people a feeling of anger!
Lu Chongyang didn't expect that he really had a spiritual experience, and he had just made a proverb with the old monk, and someone would come immediately. But no matter how you look at it, it's like an old monk's dish, and it should have nothing to do with you, so Lu Chongyang is sitting relatively stable at this time!
The old monk was also shocked when he saw this little boy, as if he had lost his soul, and he kept pinching and counting again, and his brows were even deeper. Lu Chongyang was secretly happy in his heart, how about it, I miscalculated! Whoever made you so anxious, you can't wait for a few more people.
Xiao Tong also walked to the table of the two at this time, looked at both sides, just when Lu Chongyang thought that this little boy would talk to the old monk, he only heard a "poof", the little boy knelt on the ground, and actually kowtowed to Lu Chongyang, "Boom" The sound was extremely loud, Lu Chongyang and the old monk shouted at the same time: "Slow!"
At this time, the old monk was also anxious, looked at Lu Chongyang, and then looked at the little boy kneeling on the ground, and didn't know what to say for a while!
Lu Chongyang smiled secretly in his heart, this old monk must have known that he had set himself up for an oolong! But Lu Chongyang was also quite depressed, how could this little boy be optimistic about himself! If it weren't for the anxious look on the old monk's face at this time, Lu Chongyang would have thought that this was a trick he had set for himself! And what scared Lu Chongyang the most was that if he really said a prophecy, it would really be too late to cry, so he must not let this little boy worship himself as a teacher!
As soon as Lu Chongyang thought of this, he saw the little boy below shouting to him: "Master, please accept me as an apprentice!" The little boy's head knocked loudly, and his voice was even louder, and there was a faint echo in the store.
Lu Chongyang was depressed, "Don't apprentice to the teacher first! Let me ask you, why do you want to worship me as a teacher!"
Xiao Tong replied cheerfully, "I feel close to Master, and I don't have a name yet, please give Master a Dharma name!"
When the old monk heard this, his expression immediately darkened. Lu Chongyang's face was not good-looking, and he couldn't help but point to the old monk opposite and said to Xiao Tong: "I think that you have a relationship with Buddhism, why don't you worship under this master?"
After listening to Lu Chongyang's words, the little boy glanced at the old monk, and immediately a look of disgust appeared on his face. "I hate these bald people the most! Besides, the disciple has decided to worship you as a teacher, so he will never regret it, and I will not worship anyone but you!"
The old monk was even more sad on the side, with a sad face, Lu Chongyang was also speechless for a while, and said in his heart: "These two people are simply a natural pair! One insists on pulling people to be apprentices, and the other insists on worshipping the master, it is a pity not to be a master and apprentice!"
Lu Chongyang stepped forward and pulled up the little boy, and dusted him off his body, although this little boy looked vicious, but also with a straightforward and frank attitude, Lu Chongyang still really liked it. It's just that he didn't want to make the proverb come true, so he took Xiao Tong's hand, sat beside him, and said gently: "You are still young now, and you are not in a hurry to apprentice to the teacher, why don't you wait until you are older, and then choose the two of me, one of them, if you still want to worship me as a teacher, I will accept you!"
I saw that Xiao Tong's face was full of firmness, "The disciple has never regretted doing things, even if he waits for a hundred years, he also wants to worship you as a teacher." Since the master said that he would wait, the disciple will wait, but I don't know how long it will take, and I will wait there, and I ask the master to make it clear!"
Lu Chongyang saw that he was so determined at a young age, and he really had a little heart to accept disciples, "Okay! You just wait here, we will meet for ten years, and I will come to you again in ten years, and then we will see our fate!"
The little boy stood up, knelt on the ground, and replied loudly, "Disciple obeys Master's decree!"
Lu Chongyang also stood up, looked at Xiao Tong and sighed, and nodded at the old monk again, which meant to say, "After I leave, it's up to you to convince Xiao Tong!" The old monk also nodded with his hands folded, although Lu Chongyang couldn't bear it in his heart at this time, he still relented and turned away.
After Lu Chongyang left, the old monk did not immediately go to persuade him, just because Buddhism pays the most attention to the law of cause and effect, at this moment he and Xiao Tong have broken off the law of fate, and Xiao Tong has already become attached to Lu Chongyang, he has become an outsider at this time. So now he can't intervene, otherwise the cause and effect will be even more confused. I had to keep reciting the scriptures there, hoping to impress the child with the Buddha's fate.
On this day, the child sat on a branch of a tree, and the old monk recited scriptures under the tree. Suddenly, a boy appeared in front of him, looking at the child on the tree, he couldn't help but be surprised: "The old Zen master has not been born for five hundred years, and he has found such a high disciple as soon as he was born.
I saw that the old monk had a sad face, "The real person made fun of him, whether he could be taken under the door is still unknown! It's just that he and the real person follow that person, and there are some fates, can the real person point to the poor monk one or two!"
When the boy saw that the old monk had broken his own hiding, he didn't care, he smiled, "I know that I can't hide the old Zen master's insight, but the old Zen master can't understand it thoroughly, so how can I talk about the word dial." It seems that we should go our separate ways for the time being!" After saying that, he turned into a rainbow light and left. The old monk seemed to have no more words, raised his hand, and beckoned, but in the end he still did not say anything to save him! After lamenting, he began to recite the scriptures to the children on the tree!
Yunnan is located in many mountains and valleys, although the number of 100,000 is an exaggeration, but it is really overlapping and endless. And most of the valleys are filled with miasma, even if they are cultivated into the eye of heaven, it is difficult to see the whole picture for a while.
Lu Chongyang has been looking for some time in these mountains, and he has no way to go down, so he has to follow the trend of the mountains and inspect them one by one.
On this day, I happened to reach the border of Yungui and Guizhou, and suddenly from the deep gorge below, a clear smoke came up. As soon as Lu Chongyang wanted to release the fire, he saw a roll of green smoke, and a short-dressed mountain girl with a beautiful face and bare arms and legs appeared. He also shouted "Fellow Daoists, please save my life!" At the same time, just below, two more rays of light flew up, but they were two strange people with strange appearances and strange clothes. When the mountain girl saw the two, she was even more at a loss, and hurriedly hid behind Lu Chongyang.
I saw that one of the two was thin and withered, with a face as black as lacquer, but a strange man with a pair of fiery eyes, and shouted to Lu Chongyang: "This woman is a thief in my valley, a few days ago, she stole a lot of elixir while the family teacher was away, Daoist friends, please don't be deceived by her!"
When Lu Chongyang first saw that this mountain girl was dressed strangely, he didn't plan to take care of this idle matter, no matter what grievances there were between them, he didn't want to meddle in it. Just because the longer he cultivated, the more he felt that it was better to have more than one thing!
At this time, the mountain girl behind panicked, and said to Lu Chongyang: "Don't listen to the words of the two of them, I am Yun Jiugu, the heir of Li's mother." It's just because my brother Yunyi was captured by the evil monk in this valley, I came this time to rescue my brother, but I didn't expect that the evil monk was so powerful that he took away his body. Not only did I want to get my Li Shan secret method, but also wanted to marry me as a wife, I only hesitated because of the safety of my own brother, let him be lenient for some time, and today took advantage of their unpreparedness, so I escaped, and I am willing to ask Taoist friends to save the lives of my sister and brother!"
