Quick time travel villain

Chapter 71 [The Demonic Monk]

Looking at all kinds of delicate and exquisite lanterns behind the old grandfather in the middle of the crowd, Boudoir is a little eager to try.

Seeing that Boudoir was interested, Qingyun explained to her from the side: "Guessing lantern riddles is an entertainment that will be held in Yangzhou City every year during the Shangyuan Festival. Often, the further you go, the more difficult the questions are, and the richer the prizes will be. .”

However, Guiyuan doesn't necessarily want to get the richest gift at the end, she already has other ideas.

From the moment she plunged into the crowd, Guiyuan caught the maple-leaf-shaped red light behind the grandfather with a single glance.This red lantern is small and can be held in the hand and played with, and can also be worn on a woman's head as a headgear.

Boudoir can not give up any other prizes, but she must accept the red maple lantern.

Qingyun turned his head and saw Guiyuan's eyes fixed on one spot, and roughly guessed what she was thinking. At this time, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he suddenly had an idea on the spur of the moment. He told the monk to Guiyuan : "Xiao Yuan, Master and I came together to win that red maple lamp for you, what do you think?"

Guiyuan raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Maybe I figured it out first."

"That's naturally better."

Qingyun and Guiyuan made up their minds in a few words, but the monk who has been following them in obscurity has no chance to express their opinions at all.

The monk felt a little baffled, why did Qingyun, a monster, want to get him involved this time for no reason?

After solving several puzzles in a row, the old man in the middle turned around and prepared to take down a unique lamp from the shelf behind him. Although the old man moved slowly, he stretched out his hand towards that place without hesitation. A red maple lamp went.

Seeing this, the long-awaited boudoir resentment suddenly raised her spirits.

The old man took the red maple lantern and first showed it to everyone: "Everyone should know that the lantern behind the old man is basically my own work, but the one in the old man's hand is not. "

"Oh?" These words aroused everyone's interest.

Just now the old man took the red maple lantern and showed it around to everyone, so that everyone can see that the craftsmanship of the red maple lantern is extremely exquisite, and the craftsmanship of the lanterns made in Yangzhou city can be compared to that of the old man in front of him. several.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him curiously, the old man no longer kept his secrets, and lovingly pulled out a person from the shadow behind him, and said, "This red maple lamp was actually made by my grandson."

"Old Liu, you can be regarded as a successor!"

"I didn't expect the Liu family boys to be so capable!"

"Old Liu, next year I will still order lanterns from you, but I have a request, can your grandson make it for me?"

"Yes, yes, of course." Everyone complimented each other, making Mr. Liu laugh from ear to ear.

Liu Li is his only grandson and his only remaining descendant.All of Mr. Liu's housekeeping skills have been passed on to Liu Li, and he is counting on Liu Li to inherit his mantle and improve to a higher level.

Now it seems that his grandson really did not disappoint him.

Mr. Liu straightened his stooped back unconsciously, looking at his grandson with pride in his eyes.

Turning his head, he continued to hold the red maple lamp in his hand and said to the long-awaited crowd: "The old man will stop talking nonsense, and now he will come up with the next puzzle, and the first person who can guess it will get the old man. Red maple lamp."

"Good!" Everyone responded enthusiastically.

Mr. Liu's enunciation is very clear, and the puzzle is also very simple: "Pass away, type an idiom."

However, this is a really puzzling subject.

Death is a Buddhist term. Logically speaking, the monk should be very familiar with this word, and he should have some ideas about what to do, but the monk thought hard and couldn't figure out why.

Qingyun was also bowing his head in thought, but he had just told Guiyuan firmly that he would help her get the red maple lamp, even though he didn't come up with a good answer at this time, he had to try his best, he looked at Mr. Liu replied, "Is it the impermanence of life and death?"

Old Liu shook his head regretfully: "No."

After that, the huge crowd was silent for a few seconds. Everyone was thinking hard, but it made this lively lantern festival a magical quiet.

Suddenly, Guiyuan raised her head and looked at the red maple lamp in Old Liu's hand, her eyes were shining with the light that she must win, she said loudly: "Sit and wait! It's just sitting and waiting!"

"Waiting to die?" Everyone didn't realize it for a while, what connection did this sitting and waiting have with the puzzle 'Passing Nirvana'.

However, Mr. Liu, who was in the middle of the crowd, walked directly towards the woman who spoke just now, and nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, I'm just waiting to die. Girl, this red maple lamp is yours."

Guiyuan took the red maple lantern, fiddled with it for a while, and finally left the venue of guessing lantern riddles contentedly.

Qingyun walked beside her, and couldn't help being curious: "How did you guess that lantern riddle just now?"

The boudoir grinned: "Is there any need to guess? Think about it, the monk's passing away is a nice way of saying it, but it's a bad way of saying it, isn't it just sitting and waiting to die?"

Hearing her explanation, Qingyun couldn't help laughing, and understood: "This kind of thinking is only what you can think of."

The monk followed silently, but he didn't quite agree with Guiyuan's words.With prejudiced eyes, how can the secular people explain their lifelong hard practice of Buddhism?

He and Guiyuan have been together for so long, and their thoughts are always in opposite directions.

At the beginning, the monk said to Boudoir, he came to save her, but until now, the monk has not been able to save even a little bit of boudoir.

On the contrary, it was her boudoir resentment, which helped the monk a lot along the way, and getting along with her made the monk seem to realize something.

The monk's gaze unconsciously fixed on the boudoir who was walking in front. It turned out that he had never been able to see through this monster.

Qingyun saw that Boudoir just held the red maple lamp in her hand and kept playing with it. He knew that she liked this red maple lamp very much. A girl from an ordinary wealthy family usually has a dazzling array of pearls and hairpins, so she suggested: "Xiao Yuan, let me pin the red maple lamp in your hair for you, how about it?"

Perhaps it was Qingyun's proposal that touched the boudoir, and reminded her of the past, when she had not entered the Three Thousand Realms and became a boudoir, and when there was Su Shangxian who acted recklessly, her hair seemed to always be different. There is a fiery red object, but now I don't quite remember what else it used to be.

No wonder she likes this red maple lamp that can be pinned in the woman's hair so much. It turns out that she misses the old things.Guiyuan stroked the red maple lamp in his hand, and after a while, he handed the red maple lamp to Qingyun who was beside him, and said happily: "Okay, don't put it in your hair for me."
