Chapter 49

What exactly did Gu Donglai and Fang Dinghai see from each other's memory? This question arises.

This is probably only clear to the two of them.

Before that, both of them thought that their common opposite was Garuda.

well known.Back then, Gu Donglai's younger sister, Gu Xixing, came to Longquanshan Temple to steal treasures and kill dragons in order to save her husband and son.

According to legend, she had a conflict with the temple crowd, which caused a big flood in Longhu Lake.

At that time, the mortals at the foot of the mountain were affected, causing countless casualties.Only then did the Peacock King Gu Donglai and the Buddhist monk Fang Dinghai, who learned about all this afterwards, suppress it together.

But that's been only the surface of the story.

When they entered into each other's physical memory through empathy, they saw a past with more "characters" and "details".

The kind of time reversal in which two people exchange the past together? Makes the soul feel lost in the reincarnation.

But these two people who are fearless and fearless have no hesitation.

The two cast their magic powers, smashed through the void, and entered each other's memory.

During this period, they didn't know where they were, and they just felt that people were constantly falling.

Until, both of them fell to the ground through the clouds of an illusory world under the imbalance of the center of gravity.That kind of person suddenly fell into reincarnation, and the dizzy feeling that the soul was turned upside down disappeared.

"Chirp."

I heard birds chirping again.

Gu Donglai broke through the air and landed first from the purple light under the dharma body protection, his heart trembled violently, and he opened his eyes facing the sky in front of him.

When he looked up, he found that 'himself' was lying between two big trees.Under his body, there was a thin rope that swayed left and right as he woke up.

This is specifically the act of sleeping on a tree and rope.Very familiar.

Gu Donglai, an adult who came back from the future, glanced at the hand holding a section of the rope.It turned out that the palm was still a teenager.

a teenager.He stared at the hand without saying a word, but at this moment, he found that the tree was growing amazingly and was quite old at the top of his head.

According to visual inspection, this place is in a well-protected modern mountain forest somewhere in the world.

Contact him to come to this strange place from this world.Gu Donglai immediately understood something.

'He' is not him now.And in another person's past, to be precise - it is in the past of the young Fang Dinghai.

at this point.It made Gu Donglai realize that the empathy between the two had taken effect.

It was also at this time that a bell sounded from the other side of the mountain.

As soon as Gu Donglai, who was in the body of the young monk, raised his head, he saw an octagonal pavilion on the top of the distant mountain through the touching tree branches in the dense forest.

All large temples that exist outside the world generally have a fixed time to ring the bell in the morning and evening.

This involves the daily life of various monks such as morning class, practice, listening to meditation and fasting.

In the center of the pavilion, the ancient bell being rung by a figure in a monk's robe was specially set up for this purpose.

The ringing of the bell one after another gave people an unreal feeling of being in an outside world.

The top of the temple with animal heads raised on both sides is simple and thick golden.There is also a section of temple steps that have been preserved since ancient times when viewed from a height, and the temple steps that connect half of the mountain from top to bottom like a dragon's body span across the mountain range.

Under the sea of ​​clouds and mist that permeates the mountains and bells.

Longquan Mountain is very large, and a row of birds flew in a line from mid-air.In addition, in the middle of the woods is a lake that looks very familiar, a dragon-shaped lake that Gu Donglai has seen before.

In Fang Dinghai's past narrative, the Longhu that was assimilated by Beiming Saint Monk and Sanzhai Saint after death was there.

This year, it was still in the middle of Longquan Mountain, protecting the mountain like an ordinary lake.

Therefore, obviously, this is the main temple of Longquan Mountain, the holy place of Buddhism in those days.

In the future, that Longquan Mountain Scenic Area will become an ordinary tourist attraction.But he has come, what year is it in the water of Longhu Lake?This question made Gu Donglai, who was thinking about it, a little distracted.

At this time, I don't know if the rope is too narrow, but the 'owner' of this body is careless and almost falls down.

This made Gu Dong come to a meal, wondering if you can rely on some information, don't cause me to be thrown.

But fortunately, this 'body' has already developed body memory.Faced with Gu Donglai's doubts, the young monk grabbed the rope and returned to the rope again with a technique of sitting on a lotus flower and soaring into the clouds.

A good skill in lotus flower soaring into the clouds.This comprehension ability can be said to be a gift.

Gu Donglai paused, and couldn't help admiring.

If you face the future Fang Dinghai himself.Due to their usual relationship, Gu Peacock would not praise each other so directly.

But it seems that this pair of immature hands is probably for practicing the sense of balance of the technique used.The arms, legs, and knees were all horribly scratched, but Gu Donglai saw them all.

Thanks to this many honings, he has perfectly mastered the art of soaring clouds at a young age.

At the moment, the 'little bald head' on the tree, oh no, a certain big peacock surnamed Gu inside the little bald head's body couldn't help but spy on this little guy's past like a pervert.

He first pinched the little bald head's face with his hand like a playboy, lightly and gently.

Well, there is still a little child's flesh in the cheeks.

The eyes on the forehead didn't appear either, and it seemed much cuter than someone else's.Then, he lay down on the root in the same way, and raised his hand.

Not surprisingly, this is a pair of hands that haven't grown up.

These hands can vaguely see the coldness of the future.But there are no calluses and scars left by a certain Buddhist monk after slaying demons and chanting Buddhist scriptures.

But except for the face, this body has skinny legs and feet.

There is no meat, it seems a little malnourished.

Not only that, but the young monk was wearing the uniform uniform of the underage novice monks in the temple, and a pair of broken monk shoes. No matter how he looked at it, he looked a bit like an abused child.

【'Is this person abused in the temple since he was a child? Why does he feel that he doesn't have enough to eat and clothes? It's because there is not enough food in this broken scenic spot. ']

Uncle Gu thought about it, feeling a little upset for some reason.

In his eyes, Fang Dinghai should never be a character who is weak and silent enough to be bullied.

It's not like he hasn't seen the monk's strength and ruthlessness before.

So out of the blue, seeing him hiding here alone when he was a child, and such a pitiful appearance under the fence, Gu Donglai would feel a little displeased.

But it's kind of weird to say the least.

That is why the heart of this young Fang Dinghai almost does not move.It is quite different from the heartbeat rhythm of ordinary people.

【'The heart of the dead monk has been cold since childhood. ']

Gu Peacock talked about the other party again.

But looking at him like this, it is really impossible to see that the future one will become such a strong, indifferent and scheming person, with almost no external weaknesses.

But his master and those senior brothers should still be there at this time.

Why is he hiding here alone to practice spells.

Just as he was thinking, there were suddenly two sounds of feet breaking things under the forest.

Two figures of about the same height came side by side from a distance.One of them was still shaking his head, holding a branch and playing in the bushes all the way.

Gu Donglai noticed that the owner of this body subconsciously wanted to 'hide' the two, so he hid back in the tree with him.

But when they went up, the faces of the two people under the tree were also revealed.

"Sixth Junior Brother? Sixth Junior Brother? What about people, hey, I said, where did this little boring gourd hide behind everyone's back this time? If he doesn't come out again, I'm going to beat him up!"

This man was about ten years old, dressed like a shabby beggar, but in fact he was a young Buddhist practitioner dressed as a lay disciple.

A tree branch in his hand straddles his shoulders, very casual, sweeping the wind in all directions.

Upon closer inspection, this man looks like a down-and-out and unrestrained knight-errant monk, with a strand of unshaven hair hanging down the bridge of his nose.

He is tall, like the wind.He seems to never stop for others, but he also has the mischievousness of a teenager, silent and full of love from all over the world.He is a very easy-going person.

At this moment, another young monk under cassock and cassock, who was carrying a herb basket beside him, also showed his face.

This is a handsome monk with a face as bright as the moon.He dotted a piece of cinnabar that might be the rule in the temple, and his skin was pure and white without any impurities.

Slender eyebrows, gentle eyes full of compassion, thin and beautiful lips, and a pair of very optimistic and cheerful eyes.

He and the one who appeared at the beginning are also a pair of brothers.

The two are similar in stature.The monk's robe and shoes came from the distant Longhu Lake together with a bit of dirt, and he was carrying the proceeds of the demon hunt all night and a basket of catching tools.

"I said Zhang Tianzong."

Because he was walking behind, the young monk also pushed him with great strength.

"Can you stop shouting like a wolf so fiercely, how old is he this year?"

"And the master didn't say it all, we need to get to know Dinghai slowly, so that he likes us and Longquanshan."

"He is young, so he must be afraid of strangers, and he has just come to the temple, so he doesn't talk to others. You should keep your voice down, be gentle, and be amiable, and show a little brother's affinity, understand?"

"Yo, Third Junior Brother is very gentle to Sixth Junior Brother."

"Yes, yes, I'll keep my voice down. But Fang Hai asked, I want to ask you, why aren't you gentle with me as a brother, and throw me medicine residue every day! I think you are disrespectful to me, right?!"

As soon as he turned around, he teased and swept him with a tree branch. The senior Longquanshan brother named Zhang Tianzong was arguing with his third junior brother.

Fang Haiwen kept avoiding him.But Zhang Tianzong wanted to make trouble with him.

The two were laughing and quarreling unconsciously, and started laughing like a fool again, and then Fang Haiwen, who was playing with his senior brother, said to him,

"You fool, you can't even find a junior brother who has just entered the temple for more than a month. Junior brother, I will kick you into the Dragon Lake and make the Capricorn fish mother Yaksha gentle and gentle!"

"Okay, hag."

Zhang Tianzong held his head when he heard it, and the two of them walked forward together and joked,

"Anyway, we, Haiwen, a well-known monster hunter, are here."

"The Dragon Lake left by Master Beiming is almost gone by you now, three-color deer, monkey man with a human face, Yasha, I think you will imprison me in Dragon Lake next time..."

"You're right, please hurry up and find your junior brother, besides, you're really imprisoned..."

"Look for it right away, hey, Junior Brother! Little Junior Brother! Your best Senior Brother Tianzong is here!"

"Little brother! Little brother! Don't be afraid, it's your best senior Haiwen who is here!

"It's Senior Brother Tianzong, don't bother to ask Senior Brother! Senior Brother Tianzong will catch birds for you tomorrow!"

"It's Senior Brother Haiwen, don't bother with Senior Brother Tianzong! Senior Brother Haiwen will buy you candy tomorrow!"

For a while, in the forest, the voices of two idiots comparing each other and starting to 'find a junior' could be heard endlessly.

The two careless seniors said they were looking for the younger one.But howling and howling, they didn't realize that the junior brother was watching them from the tree, so they went away together.

Zhang Tianzong and Fang Hai asked.

This was Gu Donglai's first time knowing what the names of Fang Dinghai's brothers were.

It can be seen that this year, the people of Longquan Mountain Temple are still very harmonious.

Not just these two people in front of them.It seems that during these words, even the previous old Dharma monk Fang Mingxiang devoted himself to taking care of this young apprentice who had only been in the temple for a month.

Sure enough, when the little bald head continued to practice, it took a long time to rest for a while.

On this day, seeing the sunrise gradually set, he escaped the search of the noisy brothers, but he went back to the temple by himself without saying a word.

But wait for the boy Fang Dinghai to return to the temple.From the steps of the Temple of Heavenly Kings in this temple, I walked up lonely steps.

Just when Gu Donglai vaguely felt that in his heart he thought that the rest of the people had already had their evening fast and would not wait for someone like him who had no sense of existence.

An old monk with white eyebrows and beard stood still, waiting under a ginkgo tree in the temple.

When they saw the young apprentice finally come back from a distance, the two master and apprentice looked at each other, and the old monk paused for a moment and walked over on his own initiative.

The old monk, who seemed to be very patient, walked a little slowly in front of the little apprentice, first took out a handful of colorful fruit candies that were only available at the foot of the mountain, then bent down and smiled like an old urchin.

"Listening to Zen in the afternoon, I took away the good things hidden in your fourth senior brother's cuff."

"Brothers have grown up and can't be naughty, but Dinghai is now at this age, he should eat more sweets, take it back with Haixin and eat slowly, and don't give it back to those big boys."

The tone of the old monk is not only like a kind old man treating his grandson, but also like loving this child with all his heart.

But at this time, Gu Donglai in his memory heard the other party speak for the first time.

"I've become a monk."

"I read in the scriptures that monks must see through the world. I will not be able to do these things in the future."

The one who spoke was the young Fang Dinghai.

But his voice is very different from his adult one, neither strong nor majestic, and there is a stubbornness that only a child can have.

But for this, his master also laughed a little, and showed a helpless but gentle smile from behind his long eyebrows, then patted his head and said,

"Of course what the scriptures say is reasonable, but Dinghai, you don't understand the world of mortals at all, so how can you see through the world of mortals?"

"Dinghai is a monk, but the Buddha never treated the world harshly."

"Before Dinghai was a monk, he was still a child. If he wants to eat in the future, he can always have it."

"Sugar is like the sun. It cheers you up."

"If you don't believe me, you might as well look at the sun that is about to set above your head today. Even the Buddha likes it. In order to be able to see the sun every day, Dinghai must be healthy and eat sugar every day, okay?"

After finishing speaking, the old monk put the candy in the hands of the young monk, touched his head and walked away with a smile.

These words seemed to bring a great deal of unusualness to the young monk's heart.

So much so that he didn't eat in the end, but just stared at it silently, and it took him a long time to reply in a low voice.

"Thank you."

thump.

Speaking in a low voice, Fang Dinghai's heart moved slowly.Gu Donglai felt it clearly.

This hard-won heartbeat seemed to make him finally look like a living person, which was really not easy.

And just thinking about all this, at this moment, Gu Donglai, who was still in the body of the young monk, vaguely felt the feeling of dizziness at the beginning hit again.

At the moment, he saw only a blur in front of his eyes, and the memory of the water of Longhu began to pass quickly.

During the period, as a flash of flood flashed in my mind, it was like a group of brothers and sisters in the temple meditating, practicing, and refining medicine together.There are also daily interactions with each other that are becoming more and more familiar.

Gu Donglai could vaguely feel that the heart of this boy who was growing up a little bit, which would not beat at all, seemed to be a little faster.

He will go to the mountains to practice with his brothers.

Everyone in the monastery knew that the sixth junior brother was extremely talented, and that he was more suitable than all the disciples his master had accepted in this generation to take the path of Buddhist practice, and he would surely have great achievements in the future.

But everyone did not change their minds.

On the contrary, everyone on and off Longquan Mountain is sincere and free and easy, with the innate tolerance and love of Buddhist practitioners, and they are extremely protective of this junior.

Among them, the senior brother Zhang Tianzong and the third senior brother Fang Haiwen who appeared earlier were especially kind to him.

He likes to take this junior brother with him wherever he goes, and the two senior brothers, one on the left and the other on the right, go all over the hills every day to arrest people, wishing to use this talented and rare genius little junior brother as a treasure.

"Dinghai, let's go! Hurry up! Help me catch the monkey man on the tree first!"

"What are you two doing! Catch the Yaksha, grab the Yaksha!"

"There is also a deer, the deer demon under the tree is about to run away! I am really convinced by you, Zhang Tianzong, you fool, you are the one who came to me and Dinghai today, I will beat you to death!!"

"..."

This heartbeat.Although it is still far from the average living person.

Only occasionally will there be such a moment and a half of freshness.

But this section about Longquan Mountain is accompanied by the amiable and interesting master Fang Mingxiang every day, as well as Zhang Tianzong, Fang Haiwen, these two living treasures, and the memories of a group of juniors who successively worshiped the master.

But it seems to be the most normal and most impressive memory in Fang Dinghai's life.

But soon, the peace of all the temples in the mountains was broken.

Because, along with those innumerable memories before, what followed and reappeared in Fang Dinghai's life and memory was a terrible thing.

So much so that a naturally cruel person like Gu Donglai watched with his own eyes the splash of red blood splashing in front of the gate of this temple accompanied by the torrential rain above his head.

He has a kind of unreality.

A kind of flood that surged up from the body and soul all at once collapsed.

As mentioned in the scriptures, even after years of cruelty and becoming a monk who cuts off the five aggregates, he still cannot escape the most unforgettable day in his life...

——Yin and Yang are separated from each other, and they have been strangers since then.

The author has something to say: Fang Haiwen made an appearance before.If you don't remember, you can go back and see what he said at the time.

It takes one and a half months for people to study in other places.But the updates don't stop.The amount is still about the same every day, if there are other circumstances, it will be increased appropriately.

Let's start talking about the past of the senior brother and uncle.
