Holy Monk, your benefactor is dead!

Night, dark.

Snow, translucent white.

Under the dense night, the entire imperial capital has been covered by snow.

Inside the Zhaixing Building, the lights are bright.

In the misty smoke, a figure sat cross-legged, with long snow-white hair tied behind his head meticulously.The strange thing is that under the white hair, there is an extremely young face, a face that can be called a teenager. Although the facial features are extremely ordinary, there is a sense of immortality in the invisible.

"Get Dan."

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that such an old and old voice came from the mouth of a Taoist.The Taoist knocked his eyes slightly, and he didn't move half a step from the beginning to the end.

Hearing the sound, the eunuch who was prostrate on the ground got up without hesitation. He hastily opened the pill furnace in front of the Taoist, and took out dozens of crystal clear pills with medicinal fragrance from the furnace. Put them one by one into the jade box and put them in the tray. After putting them away, he bowed his waist and held the tray above his head with both hands, holding his breath and stepping back. He exited the room without daring to make a sound during the whole process.

It wasn't until he retreated outside the door that he let out a long breath, and looked at the Taoist in the room shrouded in smoke with lingering fear, his eyes were full of fear.Not caring about wiping the sweat that slid down his cheeks, he lowered his head and walked away quickly. Upon closer inspection, he found that the front of his back was completely soaked in cold sweat.

In the house, at some time, the Taoist stood up. He stood in front of the incense burner, holding up his sleeve with one hand, revealing the other slender and powerful hand with well-defined phalanges. His hand gently brushed the smoke floating in the air from the incense burner. He focused on looking at his hands.Suddenly he opened his mouth and said, "You mean, is Pindao really so terrifying?"

"Your Majesty's imposing manner is outstanding, how could such castrates be able to bear it."

At some point, a woman in black knelt down on the ground, her head hanging on the ground, revealing a slender neck, and she never looked up from the beginning to the end.

"Heh!" The Taoist smiled softly, and the original ordinary face bloomed like a lotus in an instant, holy and unbearable to be profane.He turned around and walked to the man in black. He stretched out his feet and lifted the woman's chin in black with his toes, revealing a delicate, cold face with a big palm.Even so, the woman still lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly at the Taoist.If you look closely, you can even find that the figure of the woman in black trembled invisibly, but she was forcibly pressed down by the woman in black immediately.

"What I ordered you is done."

"Please forgive me, my lord. Just as I was about to succeed, the coir raincoat suddenly appeared, and I..."

"Bang..." Before the woman in black finished speaking, the Taoist kicked her in the chest and kicked her several feet away. The pain in her lungs and a scorching heat surged into her throat, and the woman in black forcibly Swallowing, without any hesitation, turned over and knelt down on the spot.

"Slaves and others are ineffective, and I hope the Lord will punish them."

"Gui Bi, you are the most perfect cauldron I have ever seen besides him. How could the poor Taoist be willing to hurt you." The Taoist looked at Gui Bi with regret, shook his head, and his ordinary expression rose strangely. With a little blush, he shook his head, looked at his palm, and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity that such a perfect cauldron was destroyed in the hands of the poor, it's really exciting."

The Taoist walked two steps quickly, and instantly lifted Gui Bi from the ground, a gleam of embarrassment flashed across that face, "Pin Daoist can't wait to see, see how my other face will look at this moment." disappointed."

He raised his head, looking at the starry night sky as if in response, and suddenly his expression changed. He turned his head and looked at Gui Bi expectantly, his old voice trembling with excitement.

"He actually came out, do you want to see my other face?"

Without waiting for Guibi to answer, he has already continued on his own: "You will definitely want to see him, Pindao will take you to meet him."

He didn't need Gui Bi's answer at all, he carried Gui Bi like a dead object, jumped onto the window, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

……

Canaan Temple, inside the meditation room of Abbot Wuwu.

"Uncle Master, is this really the case?" Su Wu looked at Yan Yuan who was sitting cross-legged on the futon with a shocked face, the wide cassock was worn on him, empty.Although he was as thin as a stick, he was full of Buddha's breath, but his appearance... seemed to be shrouded in fog, making it hard to see clearly.

"The sky has become chaotic. Canaan Temple is doomed to escape this catastrophe. Now that there is no power to turn the world around, why should the monks suffer from this catastrophe. I just want to trouble my nephew, and don't let someone with a heart take advantage of the loophole." The upright and powerful voice carried a trace of regret and regret.

"My uncle told me that my nephew should do my best. But there are so many monks in the temple, if they dismiss them all at once, it may cause outsiders to notice. Now that the world is chaotic and the popularity of incense is very wide, it may cause panic among the people." Realizing that he didn't know how to deal with it for a while, he let out a long sigh.

"Amitabha, goodness! Goodness! God's will tricks people, and manpower is irreversible. It's a pity that the nearly two hundred years of incense and fire inheritance in Canaan Temple has finally been ruined in the hands of poor monks. Time is also fate." Chen Yuan frowned slightly and let out a long sigh .

"Amitabha."

"The way of heaven dictates that everything has a karma, so why is Master Uncle like this?" Li Wu paused, and asked with some concern: "Master Uncle was able to leave the pagoda at this time because he had compassion in his heart, but this... the merit of this Buddha Pagoda Nearly, will Master Uncle come out of the pagoda this time, will it have any impact?"

"The cause and effect of this time all came out of the pagoda. The relics of the Jingyan Buddha's bones have been lost, and the new Buddha's fate has taken shape. The poor monk's coming out of the pagoda is also for this reason."

"How could this be the case!!!" Su Wu was shocked for a moment.

"This is the end of the matter, the foregone conclusion." The Taoist didn't explain, stood up, bowed to the Buddha, turned around and walked towards the door.

He walked to the door, paused, and turned slightly sideways: "The poor monk counted that Jing Yan will return to Beijing tomorrow, and the youngest son of the Li family will go forward together. He has a different status, and it is not convenient for him to enter Beijing. Presumably, Jing Yan will lead him there. The secret place in the outskirts. I hope my nephew will take care of me."

"Master Uncle is serious, tomorrow morning, I will personally meet Junior Brother Jing Yan."

"Amitabha, I'm in need of nephew nephew." Yan Yuan nodded, and was about to push the door with his hand, but there was a sudden pause, and his figure retreated sharply.

The moment Yan Yuan retreated, the door that was originally closed was instantly shattered, and the icy night wind instantly poured into the room, and along with it were two figures, one gray and one black.

Wu Wu's face was slightly startled, he hurried a few steps, blocked Yan Yuan, and scolded: "Who is here, why did you visit late at night?"

"Haha..., it's been 23 years since we left, I don't think we brothers will meet each other again, Junior Brother Yan Yuan, it's been a long time." The old voice carried a trace of indescribable emotion, and the gray-robed figure was right inside the Zhaixing Tower. A Taoist with white hair and a childlike face.He walked into the house with the cold wind, and threw the ghost in his hand on the ground.A pair of eyes fixed on the skinny figure behind Li Wu.

Chen Yuan sighed, stretched out his hand to push away Wu Wu who was standing in front of him, in the surprised eyes of Wu Wu, with that light flick, like pushing away the clouds and mist, revealing a face that can save all sentient beings, an extremely normal face.

only……

The facial features on that face, as rigid as they are, are exactly the same as that Taoist.If it wasn't for the loss of three thousand threads of trouble, I'm afraid that when the two stand together, even people who are very close can hardly tell them apart.

Ghost couldn't care less about the pain of being thrown on the ground, she almost exclaimed when she saw Yan Yuan again.

When she came to her senses, her palm-sized face turned pale in an instant. She almost panicked and crawled to the corner, where she knelt down, not daring to look at the scene again.

"When I came out of the pagoda today, the poor monk thought that the senior brother should come. After 23 years of goodbye, I am angry with the senior brother. It has been a long time."

Chen Yu looked around with regret on his face: "I am very pleased to see my junior brother today. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see the master, which makes the poor Taoist heartbroken. I don't know if the master has completed his merits and virtues after a few years of separation." , cultivated into a Jade Buddha relic."

Chen Yuan was taken aback when he heard the words, and waved his hand to signal for Su Wu to leave. He looked at the face that was exactly the same as his own, and finally sighed.

"Amitabha, do you have a grudge in your heart?"

"Resentment?" Chen Yu looked at Yan Yuan with a sarcastic face, his boyish face instantly distorted and ferocious.

"How dare I complain, junior brother, you are the descendant of the Buddha's bone in this Futu Pagoda, but you have a great fortune. What am I? I'm just a Taoist priest who has spread rumors and deceived me all my life. How can I complain?"

Seeing Chen Yu's anger, Chen Yuan didn't know how to explain it for a while.He sits withered in the pagoda of the pagoda, ignoring the worldly world, and sticks to the bitter meditation alone.Facing the brother who was once the same egg as Jin, although he had thousands of words in his heart, but in the face of Chen Yu's anger, he couldn't find any words to comfort him.

After all, he was also the monk protecting the pagoda.

After all, he is more qualified to be the descendant of the Buddha bone than himself.

only……

Sometimes nature cannot help itself.

Chen Yu didn't need any reply from Chen Yuan, even though they had been separated for more than [-] years, he knew Chen Yuan too well.Therefore, he didn't understand even more, it was clear that he was far stronger than anger in anything back then.In the end, it was he who lost, completely.

So, he hates.

So, he's going to ruin it all.

And now, he did it, and he's here.

Chen Yu walked in front of Yan Yuan step by step, his elongated mouth smiled more and more strangely.

"I remember Master once said today that the pagoda monks cannot be contaminated with karma, so after each generation of pagoda monks find the inheritance, they will no longer step on the earthly land, so that they can cultivate the pure Jade Buddha relics. Brother, brother Can I remember correctly?"

Chen Yuan shook his head, the fact is true, so every generation of pagoda monks can only sit in the pagoda from the beginning of birth, not to be polluted by the world, and not to eat grains.The only time I leave the tower in this life is to find the next guardian monk. This is a task and an experience.

"From the cause to the fruit, from the fruit to the cause. Back then, the 'cause' was Li Ying who delivered the child to you with his own hands, and the 'fruit' was the cause and effect that made you become a monk protecting the pagoda. Now, the 'cause' 'It was Li Ying who helped you become a monk protecting the pagoda, and 'the result' was that the whole family of Li's family was wiped out because of you. That's more than 100 lives! Can you afford such a crime, junior brother?"

Chen Yu looked at Yan Yuan with satisfaction and suddenly opened his eyes wide, looking at himself with disbelief, and instantly felt that his body was somewhat transparent, extremely comfortable.He pretended to be surprised and frightened his forehead, "Look at my memory! Why did I forget that there is another one. It was Li Ying who saved the life of that child, and now the child is returned to the Li family. Reincarnation of cause and effect is too extreme. It’s mysterious, junior brother, what do you think? It’s a pity that the pagoda monk without the relic bones and relic beads is just like me back then, I’m afraid even this Buddhist gate can’t tolerate it!..."

At this moment, Chen Yuan looked at Chen Yu's opening and closing mouth, and he could not hear what he said at all.His head was full of thorns, "The Li family will be wiped out because of you", he looked at the excited and dancing Yan Yu in front of him in disbelief, he twisted his neck stiffly, and opened his mouth with great effort , but his throat seemed to be blocked by a foreign object, and he couldn't make a sound.The whole world has become blank in his eyes.

I don't know how long it has passed, maybe it was only a blink of an eye, and Chen Yuan came back to his senses.

He looked at Chen Yu who was still excited, he stretched out his hand, and slapped Chen Yu's chest with a palm, Chen Yu stopped his mouth unexpectedly, before he could react, he fell on the snow outside the door , spat out a mouthful of blood, quickly dyed the snow red, and fell to the ground like plum blossoms.

Gui Bi, who was kneeling in the corner, raised her head in a questioning voice. Seeing that Yan Yu was injured, she rushed directly to Yan Yuan. Ghost Bi flung himself to Chen Yu's side.

"Amitabha, I gave this palm for Brother Li. The donor is too hostile. This is the place where my Buddha cultivates. Don't need to come again." After Yan Yuan finished speaking, he took a deep look at Chen Yu , I saw a gust of wind blowing by, and the figure of Yan Yuan was no longer in the room.

Outside the house, at the same time that Gui Bi was almost thrown to the ground, she had turned over and supported Chen Yu.

Looking at the empty meditation room, Chen Yu let out a long cry, and disappeared into the Canaan Temple with his ghost full of hatred.

……

Inside the Stupa Pagoda, the remnant lamp is silent and cold.

"Teacher, you are crying!"

A sigh came from the empty Zen room, but there was no one there.

"Master, is it the disciple's fault?" Yan Yuan stared blankly at the tears dripping down the palm of his hand, and was a little dazed for a while.

"Ah... right, wrong, life and death are just empty dreams, so why should I be obsessed with this. Only by letting go can all things be empty."

"Let it go..., I feel ashamed in my heart, how can I let it go."

"Amitabha!"

With the sighing voice no longer appearing, Yan Yuan raised his head, staring at a guzheng hanging on the wall, in a daze.
