September is full of flowers

Shen Man deliberately pretended to be weak, his lips were blue and trembling, and he said, "Qing Ning, you can see clearly, what should I do?" While talking, she walked towards her in small steps.Immediately afterwards, he staggered and threw himself into the arms of the man in front.

Unexpectedly, the person behind reached out and grabbed her. Wu Niannian stared at Qing Ning and said, "Don't be afraid, he is the one I brought you to meet. The gatekeeper of Kongtong Temple—Master Jingjing."

Shen Man turned his head and blinked blankly.

Lime also blinked.

The two couldn't hold back their faces and laughed out loud.

From ancient times to the present, I have never heard of a monk with such a lovely name. Not to mention that Buddhism is not very popular now, even if it is, then this monk must change his title if he wants to be famous, otherwise what is it called a believer? Can you get serious?

Master Jing Jing was indeed an eminent Buddhist monk, as if he was used to being ridiculed, he folded his hands together and bowed to Shen Man and the others, said "Amitabha" and then stopped.

He came out from the dark, and Shen Man could observe his appearance carefully.This monk is not as old as imagined, about forty years old.His face is fair and clean, and there are only six ring scars on his head.The cassock she was wearing was supposed to be red, but it has faded and turned pink.With a slender stature, if he had long hair, he should be a handsome figure.

Shen Man observed him for a while, and he also stared at Shen Man for a while, and the two stared at each other for a long time.

Wu Niannian cleared her throat and said, "Ahem, what are you two doing? Shen Man, don't you want to ask the master for a recommendation letter, why don't you hurry up and ask the master for it?"

Shen Man was about to open his mouth when he heard Master Jing Jing's voice in his ears, "Can the benefactor tell the poor monk your birth date?"

Shen Man was taken aback, thinking why another one? !I don't know how many people have asked about her birthday along the way. She has already accepted that she should be unlucky, and she doesn't need others to discuss it again.

So he declined with a smile, "I'm afraid my parents have misremembered my birthday, so I can't be sure. And the reason I came to visit the master today is not to calculate my own fate, but to ask the master for a letter of recommendation."

"Why do you want a letter of recommendation?" he asked, "You already have one with you, but who is asking for this one?"

Shen Man felt that this person might not speak too fast, he clearly heard him speak, but there was always no time to see him open his mouth.The handsome appearance is like a sculpture in front of Shen Man, although it is beautiful, it is as cold as night.

Shen Man was seen through by him, and he said a little uncomfortable, "Actually, it was for a little girl. Her recommendation letter was stolen and destroyed by a thief. I heard Miss Nian Nian said that you could write one for us, so I took the liberty to ask for it." .”

Master Jing Jing was silent for a while, and looked over Shen Man's shoulders, and landed on the two girls behind her.His eyes changed slightly, and he asked, "Which one is that Nian Nian girl you mentioned?"

Shen Man was shocked, she heard Wu Niannian's tone, she thought she knew this Master Jing Jing, but he didn't know her at all, so what's the purpose of bringing her here? !

"I brought her here, and I am Wu Niannian." She took the initiative to take a step forward, and said bluntly, "I have also heard the reputation of the master for a long time. Seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times. If I take the liberty to bring friends here, please forgive me. I and The two friends have been staying for a long time, Master please open the Internet and issue a recommendation letter as soon as possible, so that my friend, a good person, can do it to the end and give the little sister an explanation."

"So that's how it is," Jing Jing said slowly, "but you are looking far away from the near, so it will make people suspicious."

"Seek far away?" Wu Niannian was a little surprised, looking at Shen Man.

Shen Man touched his nose, as if he knew what Jing Jing was talking about.

Qing Ning suddenly interjected, "Master, are you talking to us in ventriloquist?"

Both Shen Man and Wu Niannian were startled, and looked at the monk at the same time.

Jing Jing nodded with a smile, "That's true, you still have to see it through." After he finished speaking, he turned around, raised his hand and brushed open a door curtain, there was actually a small door behind the door curtain, and then bent over and walked in.

Shen Man said, "Is he willing to write a letter of recommendation for us?"

Wu Niannian said bluntly, "If you follow in, you'll know?" As soon as he lowered his head, he rushed in first.

Shen Man pretended to follow in, but suddenly stopped outside, turned his head to look at Qing Ning and said with a smile, "Master Qing Ning, didn't I ask you to stay outside, why did you come in suddenly?"

Qing Ning muttered, "I'm worried about mud!"

"Huh? Why do you have a big tongue again?"

Lime glared at her.

Shen Man continued, "Since you're here, be careful, lest the old man who is in charge of the gate will worry about us in Taige." She deliberately bit the word "old man" very hard.

But Qing Ning's face changed, as if she was about to get angry.

Shen Man hurriedly turned his face away and walked in, but when he turned around, he couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips.

caught...

After walking through the small door, I realized that there is actually a long and narrow passage inside. This passage is paved with stones and looks old.Jing Jing lit the lamps and candles while walking ahead, so the dark and steep passage could become brighter.

"Jingjing, why did you set up your study in such a dark and dark place?" Wu Niannian couldn't help muttering, "Could it be that you can write in this environment?"

"Ahem——" Shen Man was almost choked by this intimate address, and rolled his eyes at Wu Niannian.

Wu Niannian didn't seem to be able to accept it at all, her tone and demeanor almost reached out to touch Master Jingjing's bald head lovingly.

Jing Jing replied unexpectedly, "How does the girl know that the poor monk can write?" He stopped in front of a wooden door and gently opened it, and it turned out to be a warm and comfortable living room inside.The floor of the living room is covered with soft grass and wood mats, which can be stepped on with bare feet.

Jing Jing took off his shoes, went in first, and sat down behind a low table cross-legged.

Shen Man looked at his bald head, which was shining brightly under the bright lights in the room, as if his whole body was glowing with golden light, and felt that he was about to turn into a Buddha.

Several people then sat down, only Wu Niannian was still standing around observing the indoor furnishings.

"Unexpectedly, the master is quite tasteful." Wu Niannian held a uniquely shaped teapot in his hand, looked at the seal at the bottom, and said, "This thing should be a shop facing the street in the market."

Shen Man looked at her in surprise, "Is it so precious?"

Jing Jing just said indifferently, "Miss, be careful, don't break the poor monk's things."

Qing Ning kept staring at the manuscript paper on Jing Jing's desk, which was pressed by a book, and remained silent.

Jing Jing said, "Since the girl came to ask for a recommendation letter, the poor monk wrote it to the girl, but I don't know whose name it is?"

Shen Man asked, "Can't it be empty?"

Jing Jing slowly shook her head, "No."

Wu Niannian came over and said, "You let him keep the white letter. If I told you the price of the white letter, the master would definitely not write it."

Shen Man looked at Jing Jing in amazement. In her view, all monks who stick to this kind of old temple in the deep mountains should be uncontaminated, pure-hearted and ascetic. How could they have anything to do with money?But these interior furnishings are indeed not available to ordinary people. Could it be that there is something strange about it?

Wu Niannian smiled, "Master Jingjing, if we want to write a white letter, how much incense will you charge us?"

Jing Jing thought for a while and said cautiously, "Five."

Wu Niannian immediately fell silent and sat there silently.

Shen Man stretched out his head and asked, "The five he said was 5000 taels?"

Wu Niannian nodded and said, "5000 taels is 5000 taels, but it's not silver, it's gold."

Shen Man said, "Don't say 5000 taels of gold, I can't afford even five taels of gold."

"His recommendation letter is indeed worth the price," Wu Niannian said, "You may not have known it at that time, but he is the No.

Shen Man was thoughtful, "He is both a Buddhist and a person of Yin and Yang. He is indeed extraordinary."

"Well," Wu Niannian nodded, "Even the gate supervisor of the current dynasty is only proficient in Yin and Yang Dao, but Jing Jing is proficient in Buddhism and Yin and Yang Dao. These two schools are originally incompatible, but they respect him at the same time. It can be seen that he ability. At the peak of Buddhism, he became the abbot of Kongtong Temple. Although he gradually declined later, he was able to pass the Yin-Yang Dao exam in the name of a monk and obtained the top three in the year. Therefore, in terms of seniority, he It's—"

Jing Jing smiled, and took out the badge issued by the imperial court in his arms, "Chizao Special Onmyoji," he said, "The recommendation letter written by me can directly leapfrog. Seats, maybe you don’t have to study theory and just do actual combat. Therefore, five thousand gold is really cheap.”

The corner of Shen Man's mouth twitched, if he remembered correctly, Qing Ning was also a first-class Onmyoji, and the person in front of him casually threw out a special brand, which was quite surprising.

I and Wu Niannian asked for a special class as soon as I asked, and I didn't have the money to buy the recommendation letter, so it seemed that this trip should be wasted.

But Qing Ning didn't take it seriously, and said lightly, "May I ask Master, what is that thing you put on the table?"

Panic flashed across Jing Jing's face. "Just some manuscripts."

Qing Ning said coldly, "Master devoted himself to studying Buddhism in the ancient temple in the deep mountains. I really admire it. I wonder if I can show the manuscript for everyone to read and feast their eyes?" She didn't wait for the other party to answer, and said leisurely, "I Give out 5000 taels of gold leaves in order to see the master's manuscript."

Wu Niannian stared at her with wide eyes in surprise, as if she saw a monster.

"5000 taels of gold leaf?! Are you crazy?!" This gold leaf is more popular than gold of the same price because of its light weight and high value.And this person named Qing Ning planned to pay this money to read the manuscript that the master didn't know what to write without blinking his eyes, he was really taken advantage of!

This deal seemed to be a loss for Qing Ning to outsiders, but Jing Jing immediately rejected it, "Girl is generous, thank you, but the poor monk's manuscript still doesn't want to be released to the world."

Qing Ning was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still said slowly, "I don't know, Master, but have you ever heard of the pseudonym 'Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng'?"
