Great Sui Guoshi

"Always try..."

"I can't try it, being a teacher is a monster, don't you know—"

Toad Daoist's toad eyes glared angrily, and his voice suddenly raised, causing Lu Liangsheng to turn his head to look at it. For a moment, Toad's tone slowed down, and his eyes turned to the donkey in front of him who was lowering its head and gnawing on the grass.

"I never told you... the teacher is actually a demon, or a monster comparable to a demon king. I can't understand that centipede spirit very well."

The evening breeze is gentle, and the leaves are rustling in the red glow.

On the side, Lu Liangsheng smiled, moved over to get closer to the master, and looked at the old donkey together.

"Actually, Master, you are a demon, I have known it for a long time, I have known it for a long time."

"Why?!"

Taoist Ha raised his toad face, looked at his apprentice's side face, blinked his eyelids, and said to his mother, the old man thought he was hiding well.

But then, shaking his face, the words still said:

"It's good to know, so, don't go to the capital, and cultivate your way in Qixia Mountain. One day, you will grow a sword blank, and your cultivation base will be improved again, and then get rid of the magic guard way! Do you remember, as a teacher I told you about the wisdom of 'living', only living can solve everything!!"

"Master..."

Lu Liangsheng brushed off his robe and put on a birch leaf, got up from the ground, and waved to the old donkey not far away.

"'Living' does require wisdom, but people are different after all. Human cultivation lies in the Tao. If you can't even defend the Tao, how can you talk about cultivating the Tao? What's the point of practicing Taoism yourself? It’s hard, thousands of lives are hanging by a thread, and they ignore it, and run out when there is nothing to do in peace, play in the world, pretend to be superior and gods, and show off in front of people?”

The scholar placed the bookshelf on the ground on the old donkey's back, and the sound continued.

"If it's this kind of practice, I don't bother to do it... I don't care if I don't practice it. Similarly, if I can practice Taoism and do some practical things for the people, it also coincides with the way my teacher said. This is my way, Lu Liangsheng. From the day I practiced Taoism, Master, you told me to walk the right way, and my teacher told me about the people of the world... My way can't be changed."

Having said that, Lu Liangsheng looked sideways at the angry toad with a smile on his face.

"Master is a demon, living is a demon's instinct, Liang Sheng can understand."

"You understand what a fart!"

With bubbles on both cheeks, Taoist Toad picked up the cigarette stick, stepped on his flippers angrily, walked to the bottom of the bookshelf and climbed up, carrying the purple-gold and black-patterned gourd inside on his back, jumped down with a snap, turned around and walked towards the other bookcase. Direction away.

"The old man is going back to the Qixia Mountain Grottoes. You are going to die, so you can go. You are stubborn. Be with your dead teacher. I will come back to avenge you when my teacher recovers!"

Seeing the back of the master walking away, the scholar still had a smile on his face. Inside the bookshelf, Hong Lian heard a worried voice: "My lord..." Over there, Lu Liangsheng turned around, his thin lips slightly opened and closed, and there was only him. A voice can be heard speaking.

"fair enough."

Afterwards, he took the rein and walked towards Tianzhi in the setting sun.

.......

"I'm so pissed off, old man!"

"This stubborn donkey apprentice! What's wrong with being alive, you can't even save your own life, and you still care about other people's lives!"

"You deserve to die, the old man will burn some paper money for you when you go back!"

In the opposite direction to the scholar, Taoist Toad carried a gourd on his back, his cheeks bulged, and the cigarette stick in his hand swung out from time to time, along the direction of Fulinzhou, and his flippers stepped on the ground angrily.

"The old man was eating countless people back then. If you knew, would you also get rid of the old man..."

The tobacco rod opened the bushes with a clatter, walked outside, stopped, and found a cliff in front, cursed a few words, turned around and prepared to walk east along the cliff, looking for the way when I came here.

In front of him, forests and shrubs were slightly swaying in the mountain wind, and he stopped suddenly, feeling a sense of familiarity.

"My Buddha is merciful..."

An old Buddha's name echoed in the mountain stream, as if coming from all directions.

In the red rays of the sun, a thin figure stood in front of Taoist Ha and made a vertical seal with one hand. He bowed to the Buddha. His monk's robe was old and clean, and he held a nine-ringed tin rod in his hand, and the iron ring rattled.

"... Taoist Zixing, I haven't seen you for many years."

On the other side, the eyes of the short and short toad shrank suddenly, and the red light shone around the old monk like a big sun, and the bottom of the eyes felt stinging.

...not the old bald donkey in Zhenhai.

How did he know the old man?

However, I think I came here for the old man, that's all, anyway, I can't escape here, so why not fight for a while, so as not to lose the old man's reputation in the past!

Seeing the old monk walking slowly with a tin staff, Taoist Ha held his breath and concentrated, his body arched slightly.

'The old man can still use a breath of mana right now, so I don't dare to say whether he can defeat this bald donkey, even if he is seriously injured.What's more, he still has the magic weapon Fate Dice in his hand, as long as his luck is not too bad, he can use at least two or three layers of mana with one breath. '

As the old monk approached, Toad's eyes narrowed, and the dense pimples on his back also turned black and purple, and a demonic aura permeated the air.

"With the speed of this bald donkey and the distance from the old man, as long as he takes the first step to control the battle within five or six feet, the old man can advance and retreat freely even if he cannot win..."

The flippers grasped the dice tightly, the lightning-like calculation of the distance and the time of the shot flashed through his mind, and the slightly arched figure swung his flippers away.

next second.

slap~

The newly raised webbed head tripped over a rock protruding from the ground, and the body fell to the ground with a loud snap, and the dice rolled not far from the webbed.

With his face pressed against the dirt, he struggled to squeeze out a sound.

"Bi Qimian's...forgotten footsteps...it's over."

"My Buddha is merciful!"

The Buddha's name rang out above Toad's head, and the old monk stopped in front of him, his white beard stroking slightly in the sunlight.

Chapter 187 Karma is hard to eliminate

Taoist Ha closed his eyes tightly, and the expected dharma of subjugating demons and eliminating demons did not come true.

In the closed eyelids, the eyeballs rolled, and then slowly opened the eyes, raised his head, and looked at the monk's shoes and monk's clothes stretching up, the old monk stood there motionless with his seal upright.

"Why don't you do it, you bald donkey? Look at the old man's joke?"

The old monk shook his head: "Zixing Daoist is a great monster, his cultivation level is unpredictable, and it is difficult to deal with the encirclement and suppression of several big sects. How dare a poor monk laugh at him."

"When you said this, you were already mocking the old man."

Anyway, Taoist Toad simply got up, sat there, and looked at the scenery of the cliff opposite, "I did evil in the past, killed people and seized treasures, and the disaster was endless. Today it fell into your hands. Hurry up and shoot."

Behind him, there was no response, only the tin rod was stabbed on the ground, the old monk rolled up his cuffs and walked over with a smile, but he sat down cross-legged beside Taoist Ha.

Toad glanced at it, a little surprised.

"Why don't you do it? The old man remembers that there was an old bald donkey named Zhenhai, he was more agile than you."

"Ah….."

The old monk chuckled, and it took a while to speak: "That's the poor monk's younger brother. He is currently retreating to Zen to understand Buddhism, and the poor monk's dharma name is empty."

Then, silently recited a Buddha's name.

"Hmph, what's the difference?!" Taoist Ha glanced at the dice that had fallen not far away, sighed, hugged his fins, and nodded slightly: "If it weren't for the cultivation base that was devoured by the old man back then, how could I have tolerated your brother? How can you sit here and talk slowly with your bald donkey?"

"How bad is it now?"

The two of them were like old friends, and the monk Zhenkong didn't seem to be in a hurry with each other, and said with a smile.

"It's not a bad thing for you and me to sit here calmly and talk about the past. Just like my Buddhist school has said, only when I have kind thoughts in my heart can I realize the Tathagata through the mirror... In fact, you also know that the killing was too heavy at the beginning. Backlash, isn't it time to be kind and virtuous. When to start again?"

"It seems that you bald donkey want to save me, a sinful monster?"

Speaking of this, Taoist Toad hugged his fins and laughed loudly, the gourd on his back was shaking.

"Ha ha--"

"Your Buddhist family really saves everything. Is it possible to accept as long as you kill someone and put down the butcher's knife? Then the old man kills a few more, and you come to save me again!"

With the current monster power, Toad couldn't see the Buddhist practice of the old monk beside him at all. Rather than being preached by the other party, it would be better to attract a happy one.

When he got up from the ground and was about to walk away from the old monk beside him, a voice came from the other side.

"The poor monk has already saved you."

The flippers that left suddenly stopped, Taoist Toad shuddered, and turned suddenly to look at the monk's back.

"Since the old man was seriously injured, everything he did has suffered bad luck. It turns out that you are behind the scenes!"

"My Buddha is merciful!"

Over there, the old monk who was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the cliff stood up, turned around with his Dharma seal upright, looked at Taoist Ha, and lowered his head slightly.

"Have you heard that sins are serious and can only be offset by the reverse flow of karma. Today's suffering may not be a bad thing. Otherwise, how would you have a new sustenance and a new life?"

Taoist Toad froze on his originally angry face.

Over there, the monk suddenly smiled and walked over.

"Just now you asked the poor monk whether everyone in Buddhism can be accepted, and the poor monk will answer you now, there is an angry-eyed King Kong in Buddhism, and they also want to subdue demons and eliminate demons. It is not anyone, or anyone can be saved."

"Then why do you want to save this old man?"

Knowing that the other party has changed one's own luck and used tribulations to offset sins, to do this, the cultivation level is probably beyond the reach of Taoist Toad.

But right now, it is a new question for this kind of person with profound Dharma to save himself instead of eliminating demons.

The residual red is about to fade away on the top of the mountain, and the birds are chirping and wandering in the sky.

In the rays of the sun, the old monk only smiled, and it took a long time before he opened his mouth to reply, and said a sentence that Taoist Toad's scalp was numb.

"Do you remember the tombstone you stood in Qishan Mountain? The woman in the tomb is the daughter of the poor monk who stayed in the secular world before he became a monk..."

Hearing this, the lump on Taoist Toad's back almost swelled and burst.

"You...your daughter..."

"The poor monk repays repayment, loses a hundred years of practice, and gives you a chance."

His mother's...

Taoist Toad became numb all over, turned around and left, "It's nonsense, you monk must have lost your mind to say such words, this old man is so old, if he wants to recognize a son-in-law, he won't find someone younger! "

In the scolding words, the direction he went to was the place where he had rested with Lu Liangsheng before, and he didn't know why he walked back here.

Seeing the emptiness around him, only the rustling sound of the forest, he pursed his lips and continued to move forward.

"Look, with concern in your heart, you have walked out of the sins of the past."

At some point, the old monk followed Taoist Toad, walking slowly with a tin stick, and Toad looked back at him.

"Is that his mother, is he really an old man?" '

Thinking of this terrible thought, he turned his head back with a swipe: "The old man lost a hundred years of cultivation, hmph... just as stupid as the old man's self-conscious apprentice."

Behind him, the old monk smiled lightly and said, "Whether saving people or demons, both have immeasurable merits."

"Okay, it just so happens that there is a big monster in the capital, and it's a little behind the old man when he was at his peak, you go and save it!"

"The poor monk has to go and have a look."

"Be careful of being eaten, old bald donkey!"

"Hehe... I am Buddha merciful."

The short, skinny old monks were chatting back and forth one after the other, and it was lively along the way.

*****

The sun fell, and the night swept in, and soon, the day rose to the sky again.

In the leaden blue sky in the morning, there are stars dotted.

The fifteenth day of August has arrived.

The gate of Tianzhi City was slowly pushed open by the soldiers as usual, before the merchants waiting to enter the city had passed, a fast horse galloped up from the end of the official road, wearing the robes of the arrest department, with four long knives in the back, There were also sleepy-eyed soldiers who didn't dare to stop them, thinking that there was some urgent errand, they drove away a few traders and let them rush into the city gate.

Tread...

Horseshoes churned and spread across the bluestone-paved streets. At this time, people were already coming and going on the streets, and they were steaming. They went to buy an early breakfast and prepared to start their day's life.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes approaching in a hurry, he quickly pulled his friend to hide aside.

"These gentlemen don't want their own lives, and they don't want to take the lives of others!"

"It's so urgent, there won't be any border emergency report?!" "The devil knows!"

"Don't talk about it, hurry up and find a job to do. It's important to go back early to be with the family."
