The monk who is going to cross me is bent

Before leaving Jiangbei, Feng Yunzheng said to himself that "Tianshan Mountain will be in chaos in the near future" is indeed not unreasonable.

The Tianshan Sect began to impose martial law on the towns below the mountain, and Chi Wang left from Tianshan City because he did not want to get involved with the Shoe Sect.

That was the first small town that Chi Wang saw along the road in the Beidi Mountains after Chi Wang left the Tianshan Mountains.The town is not big, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and there are still all the facilities and shops that should be there.

Chi Wang reached out and stopped the blue-beaked crow without the owner of the main gate, and untied the work progress report tied to it.

With his money, Yu Yu has already started to buy bookstores. During the one-month period when Chi Wang went to the north, Yu Yu bought all the big and small bookstores in Jiangbei. What did he explain with the huge sum of money? It's called money can make ghosts turn millstones.

His movement could not be concealed from Elder Zhu who was at the door. Elder Zhu wanted to send someone to arrest Yu Yu, but was stopped by Fang Liu's people.

Chi Wang, the head of the sect, had never met before. Fang Liu's move was a gesture of intimacy, but Yu Yu didn't move at all. Since he chose the sect master to stand in line, he would not be easily bribed by any sect.Yu Yu briefly mentioned this matter in his letter, explaining the twists and turns in his affairs.

But there is a bookstore with two places in Dajiang, and its headquarters is in the south. Yu Yu wrote in a letter saying that he was about to go to Jiangnan and tried to negotiate with the bookstore owner.

The blue-beaked crow, which was used to contact the owner of Wuzhengmen, landed on Chi Wang's medicine box. Chi Wang took out the refined pill and fed it, and the crow spread its wings and flew away.

Chi Wang was very satisfied with Yu Yu's speed. He looked at the names listed on the letter paper, and then looked up at the bookstore in the small town in front of him. He said to Sha Shi happily: "Sha Shi, look at the bookstore in front of you. , is now mine."

The bookstore is his, and in the not-too-distant future, Peach Blossom will also be his, and he will have a good talk with Peach Blossom at that time... Ah, this life is really wonderful.

Chi Wan happily walked in.

This bookstore is built next to the only school in the town, and there are no unscrupulous reading materials such as "Drunk Sleeve Peach". I can't help being a little fascinated by the brand new sets of "Rong Zhai's Essays".

The storekeeper saw him standing in front of the bookcase, and greeted him warmly: "Recently, the master in the school just started to lecture on "Rongzhai Essays", so he transferred the books from the south. Recently, this set of books has sold very well. How about it?" , is the young master helping others to buy it too?"

Chi Wang returned to God and said, "Just take a look."

Looking at the thick set of "Rong Zhai's Essays", he suddenly felt emotional.

"Rong Zhai's Essays" is a set of five volumes, a total of 74 volumes, and more than 1000 selected essays, which he has read one by one.The content covers a wide range, from historical commentary, Buddhist medicine, customs and geographical advantages, military system and art of war to astrological calendar, etc., it can be said to be all-encompassing.

But he couldn't tell others about the feeling in his heart, so he took the initiative to talk to Shashi: "I also studied this set of "Rongzhai Essays". When I was studying it, I read it day and night for nearly a month before I read it. I understand."

Shashi glanced at the thick set of books, and immediately scanned the information of this ancient book, "To this day, the teachers in the school still classify it as a must-learn book, so it can be seen that "Rongzhai Essays" is indeed a classic .However, this set of books will greatly affect students' understanding of the articles because of the different vision and talents of the lecturers."

Chi Wang lost his mind for a while, and agreed: "Yes, if this set of books is taught by a knowledgeable and insightful person, it will indeed be very interesting and rewarding."

Chi Wang stood by the bookshelf, opened a random volume of this set of "Rong Zhai Essays", flipped through it in his hand for a while, then put it back in its original place, and left the bookstore by himself.

"Sandstone, help me see if there is anyone in need of treatment near this small town?"

Chi Wang's words came out, but no one responded for a long time.

He called out in surprise, "Sandstone?"

Sandstone's voice sounded short and fast: "What's wrong?"

Chi Wang paused and narrowed his eyes: "What are you doing?"

At the same time, on the Beidi mountain range, the Azure Dragon Envoy with a spear and the monk Zi'an, who was unarmed, had been fighting all morning.

Zi'an fought and retreated, Qinglong Envoy chased after him, but he couldn't catch up with the injured monk no matter what.

The Azure Dragon Envoy showed a look of astonishment, "You obscene monk, why is your kung fu better than mine? Could it be that you are the nameless person on Bai Xiaosheng's list of masters? Hey...it's still not right."

His tone was relaxed, but his attack was like a thunderbolt, pointing his gun at the vital point without mercy.

On the other hand, Zian, even though he was injured, still had a calm attitude. He didn't have a weapon in his hand, but he had never been so aggressive.

Qinglong envoy couldn't help being a little surprised: "No wonder you can commit crimes, your kung fu is really good."

The two fought for a while, and when they passed a steep rock, Qinglong caused the rock under his feet to roll down from the cliff. He fell and almost slipped down the steep mountain.

And Zian obviously seized this opportunity, instead of retreating, he swung his palm away and snatched his spear.

He circled the spear in his hand, and pointed the spear point directly at the fair neck under the mask of the Azure Dragon Envoy.

He stood where he was, and said peacefully, "Amitabha."

The most fragile lifeline has been seized by the opponent, Qinglong opened the eyes under the mask wide, not only he was not afraid, but also looked at the monk with interest and said, "Why don't you kill me?"

Zi'an stood tall, his monk's robe was stained with blood, but his demeanor was still different.He asked very gently: "Why do you want to kill you? Jump out of the window, and you will find that the choice now is not just you or me."

The Qinglong Envoy was silent for a moment, then smiled and said: "I don't read much, and I can't even understand a word of what you said, but I know you are a good person. But do you know that good people don't live long, and harm lasts for thousands of years?"

After saying this, the Azure Dragon Envoy rushed straight at Zi'an, as if he had made up his mind to die. Since he couldn't complete the task, he would die under his own gun.

Zian didn't want to kill anyone, so he pulled back the spear immediately, but the Azure Dragon Envoy took this opportunity to get close to him, and pulled out the gleaming dagger at his waist.

One side is merciful and merciful, while the other side will do everything possible to kill them.

The situation immediately reversed.

Zian returned his spear to block, but it was too late, the dagger in Qinglong's hand was already resting on his throat, and the tip of the knife was emitting a cold light.

The Azure Dragon Envoy took off the mask on his face, revealing a handsome but charming face, "You, you look quite upright like this, you don't look like an obscene monk, so why are you belittling that little doctor?"

Zi'an said together: "The poor monk has never done such a rude thing, please don't speak nonsense."

"Really? Alright. Master, next time you deal with people from the Tianshan Sect, don't talk about saving people and doing good... Our Tianshan Sect has always killed people first, and then reasoned. People forget He has a big personality, is ungrateful, and will not reciprocate. The leader of my teaching is deeply aware of this nature, so he uses the most direct and powerful means to restrain this group of undisciplined animals."

Even though he is now under the control of others and his life is hanging by a thread, Zi'an is still very calm: "The poor monk's view is just the opposite. The Buddha said, 'All sentient beings' spiritual, bright, self-enlightened, true self-enlightenment is originally perfect. It is no different from all the Buddhas in the ten directions. 'If you practice all the way and seek to consolidate the root and eliminate delusions, then everyone can become a Buddha immediately."

He didn't agree with what the Azure Dragon Envoy said, but he was also tolerant. He looked at the Azure Dragon Envoy's eyes with a kind of compassion that made people feel at ease.

It seemed that it was not him, but the Qinglong Envoy who was really in danger of being wiped out at the next moment.

"I still don't understand." The Qinglong envoy stared at him absent-mindedly for a while, and said with emotion: "I have never seen a person like you. You have a good appearance and outstanding temperament. When people see you, they are in a good mood, so they want to see you." I've been looking at you all the time...you said why you couldn't think about it and suddenly became a monk?"

Zi'an said flatly: "It's not because I can't think about it that I received the precepts and shaving. It is precisely because of the great enlightenment that I made up my mind to cut off the world and let go of troubles. If there is desire, there will be pain. When the six senses are clean and dust-free, you can get real stability and joy. .”

"I said that I don't study much, what are you talking about to me? I understand, do you want to become a monk just like you?"

It has always been only the envoy of the Qinglong who brainwashes and preaches to others, but he did not expect to meet his opponent today.The Azure Dragon Envoy realized that he wanted to listen, and felt flustered. He quickly said solemnly: "I know what you want to do, but there are some things that cannot be accomplished by one person alone. What you are thinking now is beyond your ability." The scope of ability, which was originally a well-intentioned position, will also be turned into a disaster by you."

The Azure Dragon Envoy raised his dagger, "When I pass by the Buddhist temple in the future, if I think of you, I will burn incense sticks for you."

Zian said: "Benefactor, if I say, I can try the antidote?"

Qinglong moved the dagger on his throat.

Zi'an's eyes are clear, he doesn't care about life and death, but at this moment he really wants to survive.

But not to get by.

The cycle of life and death is endless. The so-called "birth, old age, sickness and death" means that after birth, one becomes old, when one gets old, one becomes sick, when one gets sick, one dies, and after one dies, the cycle goes on and on again, re-entering the realm of life.

Life and death are not the end, no matter which one you choose, you have your own mastery.But at this point, he can only see one option stupidly - if he can survive now, he can save more people.

Qinglong's eyes became sharp in an instant: "What poison, antidote? It's useless to tell me anything. I am loyal to the leader and only obey his arrangement. Today I am here to take your life."

Zi'an looked at him without sadness or joy, and the Qinglong Envoy felt for a moment that he seemed to have seen through all his disguise.

After a while, the Azure Dragon Envoy slowly said: "Just now I suddenly realized the charm of the monk... What's your name? You like the doctor's one, don't you? Don't say it...Saving the common people with the flower of Gaoling is quite interesting. Thank you. You have given me new inspiration. Don’t worry. I just finished writing my old book. I guarantee that after you die, your image will still be in the story. I can’t do anything else. I can’t do this. Be careful and get a little fame."

Zian couldn't understand what he was saying, and there was a little doubt in his peaceful eyes.

The Qinglong envoy looked away, sighed in his heart, and stopped looking at him, "To this day, I have been going through thorns and thorns every step of the way. It is really not easy to get to this step. Maybe I can pin my hope on you, but it is the last moment. I want to make sure everything is safe, I trust my own people more than you, so I can only trouble you to die."

The Azure Dragon Envoy didn't grind anymore, the dagger drew a ray of light, and pushed forward.

The dagger cut a shallow wound on Zian's throat, and blood flowed down his neck instantly.But just as he was about to send the blade forward, the Azure Dragon Envoy stopped again.

"How could it be?" The Azure Dragon Envoy was stunned. He stared at the monk in front of him in disbelief, and said, "Huh? He is... okay, I see."

The Azure Dragon Envoy, who was talking to himself as if possessed by an evil spirit, still couldn't hide his shock, but quickly put away his dagger.

All the killing intent on his body subsided, at this moment, he didn't know why he suddenly changed his mind, and he no longer had any aggressiveness.

He even looked up and down the tall monk with some surprise.

Zi'an, whose throat was almost cut just now, just put his palms together calmly and said, "The benefactor is very kind."

The monk looked calm, as if he knew what happened just now, but he seemed unaware of it.

The Azure Dragon Envoy looked at him sideways, with pure surprise in his eyes: "Are you also one of us?"

Zi'an smiled slightly: "The poor monk is now placing an order at Changuang Temple, and he doesn't want to join your religion for the time being."

The Azure Dragon Envoy nodded and stopped asking, picked up the long spear that was put aside, pointed in another direction and said, "Go down the mountain from here."

Zian didn't delay too much. After he said goodbye, he quickly disappeared on the mountain.

"Huh——" Shashi sighed for a long time, "I'm scared to death, it's so dangerous, so dangerous. Give me a hand, I'm really tired now... Oh, by the way, Chi Wang, what did you ask me for just now? "

Chi Wang had already left the bookstore at this time, and started to go south again, "What did you do just now?"

Shashi seems to be quite proud to reply: "I have just solved the food problem of thousands of people. Well, it is not easy for Mrs. Lengquan to produce food. I need to take good care of my wife and her source of inspiration. I have a duty-bound responsibility for this."

Chi Wan frowned, subconsciously feeling that something was wrong: "What are you talking about?"

"It's all right." Shashi replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't harm you no matter what."

The author has something to say:

After a long time, Chi Wang, who saw the new version, finally realized what happened today belatedly.

He grabbed the gravel and gave him a big beating: "I believed in your evil—and you said you wouldn't harm me? You see, I'm the protagonist again—!"
