"——!——!"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuu, master? No, don't hit me again. Qianjin hurts,? Qianjin really hurts..."

……

"Master... Please... Master, don't hit me,? He, he is a little stupid, so he was fooled by those thieves and monks at that time,? Otherwise, he must be able to win..."

"Yeah, master,? Please, Qianjin really didn't do it on purpose,? Tomorrow,? Tomorrow, I will go to the court with Brother Lingzhi to win the competition... Then,? We must still have a chance of winning..."

……

"Go away! Don't call me master! You three monsters! Waste! Things that are not as good as pigs and dogs! If it weren't for your weird appearance? Even the world of mortals would not accept you? Why would I be in Fangwai? The world picked you up, but I have raised you for so many years, what is the use of it! What I want is to win! What can you do for me now! Get out! Get out of here! Useless villains! Give it to me tonight Kneel here! You are not allowed to drink a sip of water!"

"If you lose again tomorrow! I will let the black method and the white method smash the three of you to the bone and skin! I will drive you out of my Huayan Sangha forever,? Do you understand!"

The low-pitched cursing from the living Buddha who had just confronted them head-on during the day, and the sound and cries of the magic weapon made by King Kong whipping on the human body made people feel chills in the bottom of their hearts.

Accompanied by the fierceness and cruelty in the roar that can beat people alive until their bones are broken.

Gu Donglai, who realized who the other party was, raised his hand and waved it out. Hiding behind this, he hid the color of his Buddha light.

He recognized who it was, but he just stood there as a bystander with his pockets in his pockets, and looked behind the tree with nothing to do with himself. He saw the Buddha who had clearly become a Buddha, but had no compassion at all. After the person disappeared, there were only three figures kneeling in a row not far away to protect the big man in the center.

"Senior brother, woo, woo - it's all Qianjin's fault - Qianjin lost to that smart kid... Qianjin is a useless scumbag, trash—"

The fat Maitreya with a bruised nose and a swollen face was holding a big bald head and crying like a child.

Lingzhi Toutuo and Huazhai Fairy, who also looked embarrassed, were two villain monks who were vicious to outsiders, but they loved him, a fat junior who was like a small mountain, and quickly comforted him, saying,

"Who said that! How can your lotus body, which has been cultivated for so long, be inferior to that kid across the way who can't beat a single chicken? I've said it all, it's their collective deceit!"

"You forget that we were thrown out of the way before, and were chased and beaten by mortals as monsters. Now, it's just a harder ordeal than before! We don't have to be afraid!"

"Tomorrow, Hua Zhai and I will beat them to pieces! Revenge for you!"

"That's right, Qian Jin, I and Brother Lingzhi will work hard tomorrow...Although, I'm actually a bit uncertain... After all, even the master thinks the three of us are useless wastes, monsters to embarrass him... ...Wow, I want to cry again..."

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu*

After the three guys who looked a bit weird finished speaking, they hugged each other and cried together as if they were dependent on each other.

This cry was sad and unlucky.A high and low sound accompanied by the sound of wiping your nose with a tissue can almost attract the wolves in the back mountain.

Gu Donglai silently listened to the conversation between the three of them, the three brothers, but he looked at the moon above his head and exhaled the boredom of passing by, and another purple light flashed behind him and disappeared in place.

His figure flashing through the woods was very light.The black shirt passed through the back waist, blowing away with the wind.

Then, with both feet in the air, the long-haired man flew up with one leg, stepped on a branch in the forest, jumped up and disappeared.

At the same time, when the beaten and starving Huayan trio were thinking about whether they should go to the back mountain to catch a few mice or tortoises to roast and eat, they just felt that there was a black man on the tree. The shadow flickered.

Immediately afterwards, a large plastic bag full of snacks such as bread, instant noodles, and cola fell in front of the three of them like an airdrop.

"—!"

"Who? Who's sneaking up on the tree!"

Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo was the most vigilant among the three. Immediately, the ears of the four mushrooms shook together, and he looked coldly with fish eyes at the lazily sitting on the tree with one leg, with only a strand of long hair hanging on his shoulders. That strange shadow.

"I'm Santa Claus and I'm here to wish you three a Merry Christmas."

The man on the other side squatted on the tree, made a gesture with horns on his head, and answered like a child.

"Nonsense! Christmas isn't here yet! And we're Buddhists! Christmas never happens!"

Lingzhi Toutuo broke through his lies, pointed at the tree and cursed.

"Oh, I'm sorry, then I am the Tathagata Buddha."

Seeing that the three of them obviously don't trust themselves very much.The long-haired black shadow was very cooperative with the nodding of the three of them, put his hands on his chest and meditated solemnly, and immediately changed his identity.

"Where did the devil dare to insult the Buddha's name casually... If you don't show up with the nonsense, I will... do it..."

Seeing that the other party was full of nonsense, the Huayan trio who had been punished here all put on a stance to deal with the enemy for a while, and seeing that they didn't believe in themselves, the person who was on the tree patted his knees and kept his Tilting his head with hands in surrender,

"Well, I admit it, it's actually me."

"Don't be nervous, these things are for you. Aren't you hungry until now, haven't you had dinner?"

After saying this, Gu Donglai put down his hands directly, crossed his chest and leaned his back against the tree, and pressed down a little treetop with his hand to reveal his face through the light.

His impressive face, which looked even more sinister and arrogant under the moonlight, and his posture that did not intend to hide his head and show his tail at all, made the Huayan trio under the tree dumbfounded when they appeared.

this is not--

At that moment, thinking about the events of the past two days, the three of them wanted to guard against this person, but they couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, so they could only stay together.

As for the reaction of the three people looking at each other, Gu Donglai was very calm. Seeing that they really didn't understand his behavior, he raised his chin, thoughtfully put his hands on his knees and said to Qianjin Maitreya,

"I just passed by and heard some of your conversations. I didn't mean to, but I still want to chat with you."

"A thousand catties of Maitreya."

"Actually, your senior brother is right."

"You lost to Fang Hai Nie today, it has nothing to do with your own cultivation strength. The theory of mana is only to say that you lost to him at that time, but since law and power are tied and balanced, it is impossible There is real winning and losing, which is the same as the cause and effect of maintaining balance between men and women, yin and yang, and all living things. Maybe next time, you can win him, which is fair to everyone."

"There is no comparison between an egg and Mount Tai. When you can really defeat all the mountains in the world in the future, why do you care about that egg? Mount Tai has already surpassed all mountains. He is the leader of the mountains, but he is not afraid of even people." gone."

"And today is only the first match. In fact, no one can say what will happen in the next match. You don't have to give up in your heart until the last moment."

Qianjin Maitreya, who lost the Fa conference today and was tortured and beaten by his master like a livestock all the way to the point of crying, was dumbfounded when he heard this.

With the thinking and comprehension ability of this silly, fat and sweet big Maitreya, he couldn't fully understand Gu Donglai's words, he could only vaguely understand that he was saying his own kindness.

Therefore, his face turned red like a fat and fat baby. He felt strange and suspicious of his incompetent self because of Gu Donglai's words, and he pointed his big arm at his nose in a daze and said dumbly. whispered,

"So, it turns out that Qianjin...isn't stupid, or very powerful?"

"of course."

The long-haired man sitting on the tree twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, put his hand on his chin to consider his words, and answered in one go, as if a good teacher and helpful friend were also a gentleman who treats others equally.

He seldom had the patience to talk to someone for such a long time, but at this moment, he sincerely recalled the other party's body skills during the day in the Fa Conference competition and praised him.

"Qian Jin is not only powerful in mana, but also has a very high talent for enlightenment in Buddhism. In time, if he makes a breakthrough in the realm of Zen, he will not be far from becoming a Buddha."

This is a very high evaluation.

You must know that this person is a quasi-Buddha who has a very high level of cultivation and can surpass the Buddhist gate. What he said now is definitely quite credible. Brothers, but was interrupted by Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo who pulled him a bit.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ming... forgive me."

"...You, aren't you on the side of the people from Longquan Mountain? Why are you talking to the three of us and giving us these things now? We are just three weirdos and can't help you. Are you, yes? What."

Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo with a bad complexion pointed at the tree with a palm that had gathered a mass of mana, and he gritted his teeth vigilantly but pretended to be courageous and asked a question.

In my heart, I still don't want to believe that this high-ranking King Ming would talk about these things with these three strange people behind Longquanshan's back.

But Gu Donglai didn't care about his rejection of him at all when he heard the words, his expression was a little lazy, or he was born to open his hands and talk to the three of them at will,

"Probably because I used to be someone who was so weird and useless in the eyes of others that no one wanted to take me in."

"However, in this world, one's friends are never too few."

"Some things are nothing more than I help you today, and you help me tomorrow. You are not heinous people, you just lost your way for a short time. Why can't I think you are very interesting and be friends with you?"

"The people in Longquan Mountain can be my friends, and you can also be my friends. Oh, of course, if you can remember to let go of the tourists that your master wants to catch afterwards, and pay them a little work injury compensation, it would be even better. After all, criminal cases in the world still carry heavy sentences."

Friends...friends.

Probably, I really didn't expect that Gu Donglai came out to talk to the three of them for this reason.

Their minds were straight at all, and the Hua Yan trio, who had never been recognized by others, were collectively stunned. They couldn't even hold back a line that an enemy should have, to this very different King Ming.

It was also at this time that Gu Donglai stood up suddenly, supported his side with his hands, jumped down from this tall tree easily, and walked in front of the three of them to pick up all the snacks he had bought earlier After giving it to them, I said to the Huazhai Fairy who cried the most,

"Okay, don't cry, I heard crying just now."

After the words fell, a gust of wind blew up in the long-haired man's throat.As soon as Gu Donglai got down from the tree, he raised a finger and dropped it to his lips, hissed, and with the other hand, he had already grabbed a tissue before handing it out to Fairy Huazhai's cheek.

Under the moonlight, Gu Donglai grasped the timing just right to comfort Fairy Huazhai.

He is a philandering radish with a perfect appearance, and he has the means to seduce people's heart. This makes the black-skinned monk who is five big and three thick can only look up at himself with "pear blossoms and rain".

The atmosphere between the two was instantly ambiguous.Even the monk Qianjin Maitreya and Ganoderma Toutuo who were next to him looked dumbfounded.

Then, the long-haired man leaned over to get closer to the shemale monk who was crying with snot coming out of his nose. He supported the tree behind him with one hand so that his figure completely covered the two of them, and then he gently lifted him with the cute hairpin with his palm. The hair was comforted.

"Obviously the clothes and hair are all dressed up cutely, what's so strange about that."

"Don't cry, it doesn't look good for a boy to cry like that."

Qianjin Maitreya/Lingzhi Toutuo: "..."

Such a scumbag with a masculine taste, no, it's a special skill for picking up a younger brother.It really deserves to be something he, Gu Donglai, and Gu Mingwang can only do in his lifetime.

"Man, man... oh!!"

The sandbag, which had nowhere to put it, hit the tree behind the two of them with a 'bump'.

Fairy Huazhai, whose heart was beating like thunder, looked up at Gu Donglai with her dark, hunky face, and then blushed and covered her face and let out a shy sound.

But Gu Donglai, the beast who enjoyed it, didn't seem at all to feel that it was awkward to pose for a girl in front of a big and thick monk Sha, and the palm of his hand turned into a white flower with a flash of light.

Gu Donglai: "This flower is for you. I hope that the lovely Huahua will like it. By the way, I also think your lipstick number today is very good."

Fairy Hua Zhai was so moved that she was about to cry: "Ming, Your Highness King Ming, you called me Hua... Hua Hua, you, can you call me Hua again—"

But Gu Donglai raised the corner of his mouth when he heard the words, and handed the white flower to Fairy Huazhai like a big brother, then changed hands and touched his head, and continued to shoot at the pure Huahua Steal heart light wave.

Gu Donglai: "Of course, Huahua, is Huahua feeling shy now? Then next time, do you want to go on a date with Brother Donglai and watch a movie?"

花斋仙子花痴状抱着耳朵尖叫：“啊啊啊啊！！！明，明王殿下！！真的可以吗！！我们两个单独去约会吃饭看电影么！！！啊啊啊！！ Ahhhh!!"

Qianjin Maitreya/Lingzhi Toutuo: "..."

King Gu Ming's spirit of sacrificing his life and serving the public is really admirable.

Being used to being treated as a weirdo, Qianjin Maitreya and Lingzhi Toutuo even began to wonder if he was born with bad eyesight.Or people are really good enough that they don't like to care about so many external aspects at all.

But at this moment, Gu Donglai had already turned his body to the three of them, squinting his eyes to look at the scars on their bodies.

After deliberating for a while, he finally said what he really said to the three monks who lost their way and couldn't find their way.

"Actually... I have a biological sister."

"When she was young, she also liked to dress up like you, Hua Zhai. When a little girl didn't know how to dress up, she made herself bright. When others laughed at her, she would come to me crying. We sat on the tree in my hometown. I Seeing her crying with flowers all over her face, I would stroke her head and coax her, saying that she is the prettiest in the world."

"There is nothing wrong with being born to like to dress up. It has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. I don't think the three of you are weird. I'm just telling the truth now."

"And today's match against Fang Haihen, it is very common for you to feel that you are very unwilling to lose."

"It's not shameful to be defeated. A person's life is so long, how can there be no defeat once?"

"When I was young, I grew up in Lingshan. From birth, I was an orphan and abandoned in the dirt."

"When a juvenile bird just hatched, its feathers are not even neatly stretched, let alone self-protection."

"One year, I just wanted to pick a few wild fruits from the trees. I was spotted by the mounts of other Bodhisattvas in Lingshan, and they tricked my sister away."

"I don't know where my sister can go when she is so young. I have been searching in the forest they said in the middle of the night. In fact, my sister is not in the forest at all. The more I search, the more afraid I am. The more I search, the colder it gets. Then, those mounts The transformed beast hung me upside down from a tree with a tool for catching birds, then took my clothes off my body and beat me."

"I was hung upside down and tied to a tree, just like you at this moment, and the tears on my face that I didn't know what I did wrong could only fall into my mouth. I begged those people to let me go, but it was useless, because crossing The boundaries of the law, those who use force to hurt others will not recognize your existence because of your weakness, shame, hatred, and resentment can make you move forward."

"However, you must always remember one thing."

"Never, don't be the one who bullied others. Then, you will be no different from them."

"Don't be blinded by hatred, don't be changed by evil and persevere. In your eyes, the true light of Buddhism may have a chance to be realized."

"Remember, you are not weird. Others' contempt and hatred for your flaws, you have used your own strength to prove your personal strength. In my opinion, it is the persistence that Buddhist disciples should have. Even if you are lost at this moment, as long as you stick to yourself and pursue your true heart in the future, you will eventually find your own value one day."

After finishing speaking, the long-haired man put his eyes in the distance with his pockets in his pocket, chatted casually with the three of them, and then blinked his eyes as if remembering something.

The ordinary and vast human world where all living things live.

For the first time, His Royal Highness King Ming stretched out his compassionate hand and told three strange friends a truth that he had always believed in.

He didn't ask for anything, he just hoped to try to lead the three of them to understand something, even if it didn't hurt him.

So what he's doing now makes sense.

At the same time, a ray of white Buddha's light penetrated far into the golden light circle. Above the temple gate shrouded in mist, there was a cold and stern man who usually went to bed earlier than the average 80 years old, and sent a voice to find him back on time up.

【"Gu Donglai."】

【"Don't wander around, come back to sleep."】

"Huh? Okay, wait for me, I'll be right back."

Facing the white mist where no one could be seen in the distance but only voices could be heard, Gu Donglai replied.

He looked at the time on the watch in his hand, and realized that it was time for him to go back. At this time, he still nodded to the Hua Yan trio and said,

"If you have time in the future, you can come to Lingshan or Longjiang City in the world to look for me. Apart from being a legendary peacock demon bird with a bad background, cannibalism, unruly wildness, and a bad reputation, There is also a company in the human city, and I am an upstart, not only that, but I am also a strange person in the eyes of the world, maybe you can treat me as a friend."

"You don't need to call me King Ming either."

"My name is Gu Donglai, the one from Donglai Ziqi."

As he said that, Gu Donglai waved his hand and walked away with his pockets in a chic and unrestrained way.

The man's long hair disappeared into the night, leaving only a back view.

The fog in the woods was dispersed by his figure when he left, and he stopped again until he was about to disappear, as if remembering something, he raised a hand to the three behind him, as if he was sincerely treating his friends alone The attitude stood still and left a paragraph like this.

"Oh, and also."

"Just like Qianjin Maitreya, Fairy Huazhai and Ganoderma Toutuo, everyone in this mountain and temple has a name and dharma name. All living beings are equal and free."

"Although Qianjin lost to others, as senior brothers, you can help him regain his dignity tomorrow."

"Longquanshan Visitor Center has hot water for instant noodles. I also hope that after eating this supper tonight, you can rest well and make adequate preparations before the game. It is a dignified proof that you can defeat Longquanshan on your own..."

"Huahua also needs to take a beauty sleep earlier, it's better for the skin, what do you think?"

The long-haired man turned his head after speaking, finally blinked his eyes in the moonlight, left the three of them with the buns he had just bought in front of the vending machine in the temple, and then waved and walked away alone.

respect and equality.These two unfamiliar words.Qianjin Maitreya, Fairy Huazhai, and Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo who were punished by their masters like three raised pigs and dogs for losing to Longquan Mountain during the day stared blankly at each other and left.

Regardless of time in the future, remember how long the past has been.

Their minds will never forget the back figure that gave them respect for the first time in their lives.

Because, that long-haired man is so powerful and free.Treat strange people with strange shapes as friends, give them all respect, and call them Buddhist disciples.

Naturally proud and powerful.But in his bones, he never underestimated everyone.What he showed the three of them was tolerance, tolerance, and the absolute strength in his heart and the equal treatment of everyone.

His Highness King Ming, who looks arrogant and reckless, has dual identities of demon and god, really has a compassionate heart that is unique in the world, comparable to my Buddha.

It turned out that the Peacock Daming King recorded in the Buddhist scriptures turned out to be a person with such a character that people adore and follow him.

And the three of them, now they can only act as monks but do evil everywhere, and make enemies of him and his friends.

Thinking of this, Ganoderma lucidum and Qianjin Maitreya suddenly sat in the forest and stopped talking, their complexions darkened and for the first time showing real thinking and silence.

"Senior brother..." The chubby Qianjin stared blankly at the buns and instant noodles in his hand that made him hungry again.

"Don't, stop talking."

The four-eared Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo's eyes were reddish, he stopped his junior with a protruding fish mouth, and then pinched the small bread in his hand and gritted his teeth every word,

"In any case, the master has been so kind to us for so many years... the three of us are monks, we should have the will and perseverance of the monks as one, and the others are other things. Tomorrow, I will definitely try my best to win Longquan with Hua Zhai and the others. Shan that gang, I will avenge the humiliation that Huayan Eighteen suffered today."

"Oh, but, that's what I said..."

But at this moment, Fairy Huazhai, who had just been praised for her cuteness, blushed when she saw the delicate flower in her hand.

"Dan Ming, King Ming, oh, it's Brother Donglai..."

"He's really handsome, and he feels safe. He's very suitable to be a husband. I just touched his eight-pack abs with a hand. If you agree to dinner, date, and movie together, you say he—"

Qianjin Maitreya/Ganoderma lucidum Toutuo: "Shut up! Huahua! Go back to sleep and stop dreaming! Tomorrow I have to get up early to fight with those stinky monks!"

……

Here, the 'husband of all living beings in the three realms' has just made three new friends, and is about to go back to sleep.

But when Gu Donglai came out of the purple Buddha light and was about to walk up the steps of the back door of Longquan Mountain, he felt that there were two people behind him watching him all the time.He has always been very vigilant, and he immediately turned around to tell who the other party's two auras were.

"What's the point of the two young masters hiding in the tree over there and eavesdropping on me for a long time without saying a word?"

"You like to follow me so much, do you want to go on a date with me, have dinner and watch a movie?"

Bai Fa: "..."

Heifa: "..."

"...Actually, we are all your fans, and we hide here behind my master's back. We really want to give you a gift from the bottom of our hearts, Lord Ming."

It sounded weird to Gu Donglai when these words came out of this little monk with a yin and yang face.

It is very abnormal why these two big disciples of Shicha Nantuo, who are said to hate the world very much, would come to him in the middle of the night.

But the long-haired man just raised his head, narrowed his eyes, looked at the two and smiled.

For a moment, after coming out of the mountain, his long curly hair, which was mostly soaked by hot spring water, hung on the bridge of his nose, his eyes were evil and cool, and he folded his hands to watch the two little novice monks in black and white monk clothes come and walk freely on the steps in front of the temple. Responded to a sentence.

"Oh? Then I'm very honored. You might as well show me what kind of gift it is."

But then, Baifa, who was obviously a little novice, just took out one. Not long ago, he and Fang Dinghai stood in front of the vending machine in the temple and joked for a long time. If you are bored, you can also blow up balloons to play with.

Bai Fa: "I want to give you this, although you may not need it now, but remember to keep it with you for the past two days, don't throw it away."

Gu Donglai:?

Heifa: "..."

"That's not what you said, it's wrong."

Heifa, a little novice with a yin and yang face who had been standing expressionlessly next to him, had to kick Baifa's calf for this, and gave a warning in a low voice dryly.

Hearing the reminder from Heifa about his words.

Bai Fa, who seemed to have not been in the human world for a long time and whose language skills are not very good, thought for a while, and then he corrected himself under the double gaze of Gu Donglai and Heifa,

Baifa: "I'm sorry, let's start from the beginning again. What I meant just now is, don't drink and drive, and don't drink while driving. This thing is useful to you."

Hearing this, the corners of Heifa's rather deep and mature face began to twitch.

"...It's still wrong, your brain is broken, idiot."

Then, the little monk named Heifa apologized to Gu Donglai as solemnly as the translator.

"Sorry, that's not what he meant. We didn't rehearse just now, please let us do it again."

Gu Donglai: "..."

These two consecutive efforts to convey a special meaning to his so-called "idol" Gu Donglai failed.

It probably made the Baifa who appeared like a bluffing villain at the beginning feel frustrated.

So, just as if he had fulfilled one of his due obligations, the yin-yang-faced little novice in white clothes reached out his hand abruptly, and solemnly and responsibly stuffed the one-dollar 'Buddhist magic weapon' into Gu Donglai's hand just said,

Baifa: "My Buddha and Tathagata once said that family planning is a duty that every citizen should perform. Although King Ming is not an ordinary person, he also remembers not to act on a whim and lose the big because of a small one. Pay attention to moderation and safety first. Safety first."

Heifa: "..."

Gu Donglai: "..."

……

15 minutes later

The familiar and dark fire escape corridor of the temple.

The two 'grandfathers' who finished taking a bath and taking a walk tonight quietly stepped on their disposable slippers, went back to sleep with a hot water bottle specially provided for temples, and instant noodles in plastic bags from the supermarket in their hands.

At this moment, in response to the brief disappearance of a certain person while he was walking away for a while, a sinful dialogue took place that made a senior Buddhist monk who "enforced the law impartially" ignore that person all night.

Fang Dinghai: "You are running around by yourself, what do you want to do?"

Gu Donglai: "Oh, I just want to walk alone. Brother Faseng, why don't you grab my hand and tie me back to sleep together, so I can't run away anymore."

Fang Dinghai: "I'm worried about the safety of those yakshas in the back mountain, don't think too much about it."

Gu Donglai: "Huh? That makes sense. Let me show you something that two of my new fans just came to give me as a gift."

Fang Dinghai: "Fans?"

Gu Donglai: "I just like me, admire me, and want to marry someone I call my husband. This time, I'm still a male fan. I used to only have female fans."

Fang Dinghai: "So, what did that fan of yours give you?"

But in the next second, Senior Brother Fa Seng saw this man show him something in his pocket that he had blown up into a rubber balloon along the way.

Gu Donglai: "Look, this is it. Didn't you say you didn't know each other just now, so I specially blown it up and brought it back for you to see? Does it mean enough to you?"

Fang Dinghai: "..."
