He's been caught for the show.

Chu Lu naturally ignored the clamor of the system in the sea of ​​consciousness [Hurry up!Give him an impressive lesson! 】, But when he saw this "old monk", he couldn't help but widen his eyes a little bit, showing a little surprise.

——literally "old monk".

Even the eyebrows have become gray, the eye sockets are sunken, and the face is covered with wrinkles.

Even though he is so old, he has an extraordinarily kind and stable temperament, as if people can find peace just by looking at him.

In short, it can be seen at a glance that this is a "highly respected" master...

But it was just like this that surprised Chu Lu.

Last time we met, is this monk so old?

It was indeed some years since Chu Lu saw each other last time, but no matter how you say it, five or six years is not enough for a person to go from a prime of life to an old age.What's more, before that, the monk didn't know how long he had maintained his appearance of a mature man.

After Hui Che was called, he quickly called "Master", and quickly ran behind the old monk, sticking out his head and looking at the two people opposite him angrily.

Kongtong held Huiche's shoulders with one hand, pushed the child hidden behind him to the front, and bowed slightly with the other hand, "Amitabha."

Hui Che was a little reluctant, but still bowed along with Master.

Chai Zhucheng, who was held in place by the temperament of the old monk, had some vague guesses in his heart.

He hastily turned sideways to dodge, put his palms together and bowed almost more than ninety degrees. After bowing, he felt regretful. If it was really the master he guessed, wouldn't it be more appropriate to bow down?

Chu Lu felt complicated for a while.

As a villain, he had met with this old monk a few times before and was not very happy. The last time he saw him, he still threatened him coldly with a dagger in his hand, "don't meddle in his own business".It's such a calm atmosphere right now, it's really not used to.He thought for a while, and returned the etiquette of an ordinary scholar.

The old monk showed some surprise at this, as if he didn't expect him to take the initiative to return the gift, but soon a smile spread from his eyes, "I haven't seen you for a few years, is the benefactor still okay?"

Chu Lu: "..."

He might be better off without being pulled back into this world.

And the system has already yelled curses in the sea of ​​consciousness, and urged the host to change it to face the old bald donkey head-on.

In short, both sides are not at ease.

The corner of Chu Lu's mouth twitched twice, and he replied with a forced smile that could be seen with the naked eye, "It seems like a lifetime away."

There was no deep meaning in what he said, but the old monk didn't seem to see Chu Lu's reluctance, he still smiled and said: "Seeing that the benefactor is as usual, I feel relieved."

Chu Lu: "..."

The great monk's ability to fight the fire with a nonchalant face is still the same as before.

Kong Tong took a step to the side, stretched his right arm forward, and motioned for the visitor to come in. Chu Lu had come to him to ask him what was going on, but at this time he was not polite to him, and walked inward.

Chu Lu went in first, but Kong Tong turned his head and looked at Chai Zhu beside him, "Benefactor Chai also invites you."

Chai Zhu looked flustered, "I, can I enter too?"

He felt that he might not be qualified.

Kong Tong smiled and nodded, "I am a Buddha who is merciful and overcomes the sufferings of all living beings. There is no reason to keep people out...Please benefactor."

"Many, thank you." Chai Zhu hurriedly nodded and agreed, but he didn't dare to walk in front of Kongtong, and said: "Master, please first, first."

Kong Tong didn't force himself, and turned around first.

But Chai Zhu behind him didn't follow up immediately, but grabbed Huiche next to him, squatted down and asked in a low voice: "You, your master is, is it Master Kongtong?!"

Huiche nodded in confusion, and looked worriedly at the cold sweat on Chai Zhu's forehead and his pale face, "Benefactor, are you feeling ill?"

He paused, and then said: "Benefactor, if you feel unwell, you can tell Master. Master is good at everything, even his medical skills are very good."

"No no, no!"

Chai Zhu repeatedly refused, almost biting his own tongue, "Don't bother Master Kongtong... I'm fine, I'm fine."

It's too good to be true.

Under the worried gaze of the little novice, with a dreamy expression on his face, Chai Zhu walked lightly into the quiet room.

The little novice at the back watched him go in, with a sad face, followed by a sigh: This benefactor obviously suffers from stuttering, but he refuses to go to the doctor.

...Could it be what Master said, "Treating diseases and avoiding doctors"?

Chai Zhu didn't know about the little novice's worry, but when Chai Zhu entered the quiet room, the two people in the room had already sat down.

The owner here seems to have known that there will be visitors, so he just prepared three futons, and Chai Zhu carefully pushed his own futon behind Chu Lu, and then sat on it.

Chu Lu glanced at Chai Zhu who entered the door one step later, and frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything after all.

He raised his head to look at the dignified Kongtong who was sitting opposite him, and said bluntly: "I am a person who deserves to die, so I won't bother Master to waste my cultivation and bring me back to Yangshi."

Just as Chai Zhu sat down, he heard such exciting news. For a moment, he ignored Master Kongtong who was opposite him, and his surprised eyes fell on Chu Lu.

Damn...

What is it?

The doubts in Chai Zhu's heart were not answered for the time being, but he heard Kong Tong on the opposite side speak slowly, "Reincarnation of life and death is a common sense in this world, and it cannot be shaken by personal power... This is the good result of the past deeds of the benefactor. , This old monk is only doing his best."

Chu Lu: "..."

Does this mean... that he brought it upon himself?

In the small world, Chu Lu is inevitably affected by the character's own emotional tendencies, just like now, it is really difficult for him to have any good feelings for this old monk who has repeatedly spoiled his good deeds before.

He smirked and said: "Then please do your best to send me to die."

Chai Zhu, who was next to him, almost choked to death on his own saliva before he picked up the tea.

He turned his head to look at Chu Lu in disbelief.

——This, this... What does this mean? !

Chai Zhu wanted to speak to persuade people to calm down, but he couldn't help but stop when he saw Chu Lu's expression at the moment.

Ever since he came in, Brother Huo seemed to be a little bit out of order.

Chai Zhu couldn't tell exactly what it was for a while, maybe it was something invisible or intangible like temperament.Anyway, he didn't dare to interrupt at this moment.

But, but!

The other party just meant begging, begging to die, right?He didn't notice it all the way, Brother Huo, he couldn't think about it so much?

Kong Tong on the opposite side seemed to sigh, but because he didn't make a sound, Chai Zhu wasn't quite sure.

There was a moment of silence in the quiet room, and finally when Chai Zhuzai's uneasiness reached its peak, and he wanted to make some noise to break the silence, Kongtong spoke first: "The benefactor, would you like to listen to the old monk's chanting first?"

Chu Lu was about to refuse, but was held back by Chai Zhu: "..."

Chu Lu suspected that the opposite monk brought Chai Zhu in just for this time.

Looking at the face written with "I want to hear", "I beg you", "Please agree" and "If you don't agree, I won't let go", Chu Lu was silent.

On the other hand, Chai Zhu had spontaneously translated the silence into acquiescence. He sat upright and gave a big gift, "Master, please."

……

…………

As the only abnormal monk in this normal world, Kongtong naturally has some special effects in the scriptures he recites.

Even though he was in a small room, the sound of chanting the scriptures was as vast and distant as in the wilderness. As the sound of the scriptures entered his ears, the originally excited expression on Chai Zhu's face calmed down, and soon turned into a kind of tranquility Anhe.

Chu Lu watched from the side, and deeply felt that it was much faster and more effective to ask this monk to read a volume of scriptures in the court hall than his laborious and laborious work.At the most difficult time at that time, it was not that he did not have the dark idea of ​​tying the great monk to chant scriptures, but fortunately, he did not reach that point in the end.

……

…………

When he finished chanting, it seemed that there was still a lingering sound, and Chai Zhu was still sitting with his eyes closed, as if he was still immersed in the scriptures just now.

Chu Lu: "The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Fundamental Vow Sutra?"

It is the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who said "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell" and made a great wish "Hell is not empty, I swear that I will not become a Buddha; only when all sentient beings are exhausted can I realize Bodhi". Chu Lu always felt that this old monk read this volume. The scriptures mean something.

Kong Tong smiled and nodded: "The benefactor really has a deep study of Buddhism."

Chu Lu: "..."

The role of "Prime Minister Huo" really doesn't know much about Buddhist scriptures.

This kind of subtle collapse of people's place, even when the plot was in the past, it would not be noticed by the world consciousness.But this great monk can always step on the point accurately with a calm and breezy tone, which makes Chu Lu always wonder if the other party did it on purpose.

Kong Tong didn't express anything special about Chu Lu's silence, but slowly raised his head.

His already cloudy eyeballs looked at a certain point in the void.

"coming."

What overlapped with his words was a distant and heavy sound.

It seems that the sun after the rain pushes away the thick clouds, and it seems that the morning light struggles to get out of the ground.

This sound seems to be hitting the heart of a person one by one.

Chai Zhu, who was immersed in the Buddhist scriptures, was also awakened by the sound, and looked around in a daze.

He finally remembered that this was a monastery, so he couldn't help but ask, "Did the bell ring? What's the matter?"

But he got Kong Tong from the other side who shook his head with a smile, "No."

The bell is not so dull and heavy.

Chu Lu realized something, suddenly raised his head, met Kong Tong's eyes, his conjecture was verified, and his face sank a little.

"—the drums."

Ming, injustice, drum.
