long night fire

The other team of relic hunters who were eating in the hall subconsciously turned their heads and looked over, all of them were surprised.

For some reason, Jiang Baimian always felt that the way they looked at him and Bai Chen changed from doubt to strangeness.

At this time, several people came in from outside.

There were six of them, all wearing patched gray clothes, and their hair was shaved so short that it looked like it was originally bald and had just grown out in a shallow layer.

"Aren't you cold like this?" Chang Haijiang at the counter asked after seeing this.

Although it is summer now, in the midsummer of the ice field, the temperature in the evening is close to the early autumn in Wubei area, and the coolness is a little cold.

Among the group of people, the leader was an older Hong'an man, with few but obvious wrinkles on his face, and thin hair on the top of his head that was white at every root.

Hearing Chang Haijiang's question, he clasped his hands together and said in a gray language with a distinct accent:

"Namo Ayutara Samyak Sambodhi, the kindness of the almsgiver, the poor monks and others accepted it, but we are used to this."

People in the Buddhist sect... Jiang Baimian and others moved their eyes slightly, and turned their gazes to the door one after another.

Chapter 176

Although Chang Haijiang has been stationed in the ice field all year round, he was born in the "Salvation Army" and was promoted to the middle level. He has a certain understanding of various situations, and has met several monks, so he knows how to deal with the people in front of him.

He asked kindly:

"Several Zen masters, what do you want to exchange?"

The elderly Hong'an man calmly replied:

"For some black bread."

"No." Chang Haijiang shook his head, "There are rice buns of the same value, do you want it?"

The elderly Hong'an man thought for a moment and said:

"Alright."

He immediately took off a small cloth bag hanging from his waist, and took out a piece of gold from it:

"Is this enough?"

Chang Haijiang took it and weighed it for a while, and discerned for a while:

"Almost a hundred can be exchanged, er, I won't be able to take out so much for a while, and there are only thirty or so left in the kitchen... Master Zen, should you exchange some other materials, or wait for the kitchen to steam new ones?" ?”

The elderly Hong'an people did not hesitate:

"I want corn buns, we can wait."

"Okay." Chang Haijiang didn't try to persuade him.

The aged Hong'an people then led the group of dusty, gray-robed monks in patched clothes to the door, and found a place to sit on the ground.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of them.

That was Shang Jianyao holding the "Six Consciousness Pearl".

Jiang Baimian couldn't hold back.

Shang Jian Yao sat down on the ground, his posture was a bit awkward.

He clasped his hands together and said:

"Namo Ayutara Sanyak San Bodhi, Poor Monk Purdue, what do you call them?"

The elderly Hong'an returned the same courtesy:

"Namo Ayutara-samyak-sambodhi, poor monk Palanga."

"Are you taught by 'Crystal Consciousness'?" Shang Jianyao asked curiously.

Obviously, this is not the "monk order", they have not abandoned the body, technology proving, mechanical ascension.

Palanga shook his head:

"We are from the Ministry of Asceticism."

"'Ascetic Department'?" Shang Jianyao made a doubtful voice.

He hadn't heard of it.

"We focus on asceticism, in order to temper the will, improve ourselves, and finally transcend." Palanga explained concisely, without lengthy speeches.

He asked instead:

"Where did the mage come from?"

"The Order of Monks." Shang Jianyao replied without hesitation.

Seeing that Palanga and other monks were surprised, with "unbelief" written all over them, he added another sentence:

"But I parted ways with them in the end because of the different understanding of Zen's true nature."

As he spoke, he sighed, looking like an eminent monk.

After explaining, Shang Jianyao answered Palanga's question again:

"I am not a member of any group of monks. I chose this path because I had contact with different monks, read some scriptures, and gained some fate. Namo Ayutara Samyak Sambodhi."

What he said was true... Jiang Baimian, who was standing by the door, didn't even want to recognize this guy as his companion.

However, in essence, Shang Jianyao did not lie, and Zen Master Pudu is indeed such a "person".

Palanga looked Shang Jianyao up and down.

He glanced at the string of beads in the opponent's hand, and suddenly froze.

"Namo Ayutara-samyak-sambodhi." Palanga put his palms together again and whispered the Buddha's name.

He didn't ask much.

Shang Jianyao looked curiously at the monks around him:

"Why don't they talk?"

Yeah, it's too polite... Strict discipline?Jiang Baimian felt something was wrong just now.

The group of monks only listened and did not speak, and did not participate in the dialogue between Palanga and Shang Jianyao at all.

Normally, when the business sees the name "Monks Order" in the Yao Daily, more or less some of them should question it.

Palanga did not lie, but replied frankly:

"The monks of our 'Ascetic Department' have practiced closed meditation for at least 20 years."

"Oh oh oh." Shang saw Yao with an expression of "I understand", "Master, have you cultivated for 20 years?"

Palanga nodded:

"I've practiced silent meditation for 20 years, and I've been speaking for another 20 years, and I'm doing my second silent meditation."

"Then, why can you talk now?" Shang Jianyao didn't hide his curiosity.

Palanga's expression suddenly became slightly dazed:

"Failed, I broke the mantra myself."

"How could such a thing happen?" Purdue Chan Master Shang Jianyao looked concerned.

Palanga lowered his head, clasped his hands together, and then proclaimed the Buddha's name:

"Namo Ayutara Sanyak San Bodhi, the omen has already appeared, and the catastrophe is approaching."

"Great catastrophe? What catastrophe?" Shang Jianyao held the "Six Consciousness Bead" in one hand and stood upright in front of his chest with the other.

Palanga kept his mouth shut and said nothing, as if he had returned to the state when he was practicing closed mantra.

Zen Master Pudu was calm and compassionate, and he didn't think too much of himself. He gave up asking questions and stood up slowly.

After crossing Jiang Baimian and returning to the rest point, he put the "Six Knowledge Pearl" back into the tactical backpack.

Jiang Baimian didn't say anything, followed Shang Jianyao who didn't know which personality to switch to, walked back to his original position, and sat down.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong looked up at them, and then turned their eyes to the dining table.

Chang Haijiang had already brought over a large bowl of dried meat and a large plate of yellow steamed buns.

Such a group of monks came to the ice field, could it be that they are also going... Long Yuehong just had such a thought, and forcibly turned her attention to the plate of wild game.

He knew that the "Bodhi" domain had abilities such as "other minds" and "heavenly ears". When the distance between the two parties was less than ten meters, it was inconvenient for him and others to discuss it, and he did not dare to think about it.

The "Old Tune Group" ate the dried meat in the nest, and Chang Haijiang successively delivered roasted onion venison, smoked Bei'an Lake fish, pickled cucumber, mixed vegetables and steamed minced meat patties.

The soup is a variation of cabbage soup with a slightly sweet taste.

"The smell of venison is a bit strong, but luckily it's roasted." Long Yuehong asked herself to focus on the food while eating.

"This is obviously not artificially selected and bred, it was caught in the wild." Jiang Baimian also commented.

In this season, there are many wild animals in the area to the south, that is, the area that was "annexed" by the ice sheet later.

"Wooooow." Shang Jianyao stuffed his mouth full with food.

Bai Chen nodded:

"The pickles are surprisingly good."

It is very greasy and can neutralize the fishy smell.

In general, after traveling in the wilderness for several days, the "Old Tune Group" had a satisfying meal.

After seeing the empty cups and plates, Jiang Baimian stood up and said:

"Go back to the parking lot, you can't leave Lao Ge there alone."

"Okay." Shang Jianyao responded very positively.

Bai Chen and Long Yuehong probably also guessed what Jiang Baimian meant:

This group of monks doesn't know if they have "his heart", so it's better to stay away from them.

——Jiang Baimian also said earlier that Long Yuehong had a little bit of anticipation to open two rooms here and sleep on a spacious bed today as a vacation.

After returning to the parking lot next to his own jeep, Jiang Baimian simply ordered:

"Normal night duty, come in rotation."

She did not discuss those ascetic monks with the team members, fearing that the other party would have "Tian Er Tong".

It doesn't work even if you write it. "Tianyantong" also exists in this world.

However, there is a distance of tens of meters between the parking lot and the house at the rest station. With the characteristic of "his heart", even if Palanga and other ascetics have awakened people at the level of "spiritual corridor" and have obtained this ability, There is a high probability that the voices of the human beings here will not be heard.

The previous mechanical monk's purification method was considered powerful in the "Sea of ​​Origin", but it could only vaguely "hear" some key words within two or three meters.

Counting the improvement in different directions, after entering the "spiritual corridor", the awakened person can roughly "listen" to a person's inner thoughts within seven or eight meters, which is quite good. Even if the exploration goes deep, it is difficult to make a qualitative change.

Of course, this is the empirical inference of Shang Jianyao, Jiang Baimian and others, and "Pangaea" did not give accurate data.

Based on this, Jiang Baimian's thoughts are a little indulgent:

"A group of monks came to the ice field, they should be going to Taicheng...

"If it is pure asceticism to prove the way, you can choose to come in winter...

"Moreover, they also collected some gold along the way to exchange supplies. This is obviously unwilling to waste too much time on replenishing food..."

For a moment, Jiang Baimian didn't know whether to slow down and wait for the group of ascetic monks to visit the holy place before arriving in Taicheng, or to rush ahead of them to avoid any accidents.

At this time, Shang Jianyao, Long Yuehong, Bai Chen, and Gnawa were also immersed in their own thoughts.

……

The next day, the "Old Transfer Team" used the remaining bills to replenish supplies, and Bai Chen drove the car, left the rest stop, and continued heading northeast.

Seven or eight minutes later, Shang Jianyao found Palanga, a group of monks in dusty and patched clothes, walking silently by the roadside.

He suddenly pressed the car window and asked loudly:

"What exactly does the catastrophe mean?"

Palanga ignored him, lowered his head slightly, clasped his hands, and walked forward step by step.
