The Duke's little ancestor slipped away again

Nanshan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple. It is said that the first generation abbot here once became an immortal. Therefore, it has been prosperous and popular for thousands of years, with an endless stream of people coming and going.

After the changes of the times, the abbot of Nanshan Temple is now the thirteenth generation. What is left over the years is not only the traces, but also the accumulation of experience and cultivation.

When the black Rolls-Royce business car appeared at the foot of the mountain as far as the eye could see, the abbot on the mountain, Master Liao Chen, was kindly giving lectures to his disciples in the sutra hall.

"Master, the donor has arrived at the bottom of the mountain."

A little monk aged eleven or twelve hurried into the sutra hall.

"It doesn't matter, what is supposed to come will come."

After tapping the wooden hammer in Master Liaochen's hand a few times, he turned around and handed it to the disciple beside him.

"Wu Nian, take your junior brothers and prepare today's morning lessons carefully and go back to the Zen room to find some things for the master."

"Yes, master, walk slowly."

The little master named Wu Nian took the wooden hammer and started banging rhythmically.

In the Zen room, Master Liaochen closed the door and pressed hard on the incense table beside the wall.

Kakakaka~

After a burst of sound, the incense table moved about half a meter to the right, and a hidden grid behind it appeared directly in sight.

"Master has indeed seen the secret of heaven a long time ago, and this day has really come."

Liao Chen took out a palm-sized black jar from the secret compartment. The red cloth sealed on it had long been discolored and covered with dust.

……

"Master, it is said that there are nine hundred and ninety-nine steps here. Now the young lady's body cannot be carried on her back..."

Asim looked at Vaughn anxiously, and then at his wife Alice beside him.

"It's only the 999th level. As long as he can save the little girl, I can climb the 9999th level."

In addition to this road leading to Nanshan Temple, there is also a mid-air ropeway and a full ropeway to provide convenience for those who want to go up the mountain but are not physically able.

Alice and Liao Chen had a phone call last night. During the phone call, she briefly described Mu Mu's current situation and special physical conditions. After hearing this, Liao Chen did not refuse, but just made a request, that is, the person coming must come from someone else. Just climb up the ladder.

Mu Mu is still unconscious at the moment. If she wants to go up the mountain, she can only help from Vaughn. Since she is pregnant, this method will definitely not work, so she climbs up the 999-step ladder. There was such a scene that made people envious and jealous.

A man with short silver-gray hair, a slender figure, and a cold and handsome face was holding a woman with long dark hair, a thin figure, and a rosy face. Starting from the steps at the foot of the mountain, he climbed up step by step.

The morning sun shone gently and domineeringly on everyone. Even though they were covered in sweat, Vaughan's arms holding Mu Mu were unusually stable, as if her weight was not worth mentioning in front of him.

"Master, take a rest."

"Need not."

Vaughan looked down at the little girl in his arms, and walked resolutely.

"Look, that man is so handsome."

"Oh my god, this girl is so happy."

"This man must be in love with this girl, otherwise why would he be willing to climb such a high mountain with her in his arms."

"It would be great if I were this girl..."

The young men and women around who were also walking up the mountain were all amazed by the scene in front of them.

"Look at others, they are walking so steadily while holding their girlfriends. Look at you, you have only climbed dozens of steps and you have already rested four or five times."

"I...I'm so busy all day long, how can I have time to go to the gym to exercise..."

Ignoring the comments around him, Vaughn just walked upwards with all his strength. Although his body was tired and the steps under his feet began to become heavier, as long as he thought about going up the mountain to save his baby, his body was filled with excitement. There seems to be a steady stream of power.

I have never believed in gods or fate. Now for you, I am willing to bow down three thousand times and keep the lanterns on the porch. I only wish that you will be well and that you will have peace and prosperity in your years.

Climbing the 999 steps to the top of the mountain in one breath, the moment he put Mu Mu down smoothly, Vaughan fell directly to the ground. His numb arms had lost all feeling, and his legs were too weak to stand up again. .

"Owner!"

"son!"

"It's okay, just take a rest and you'll be fine. Where is Master Liaochen?"

Vaughn waved his hands to indicate that he was fine, but his slightly heavy breathing was still heartbreaking.

"Donor Alice, the master abbot is already waiting in the Zen room. The master said that if you are ready, please come to the Zen Temple."

It was still the eleven or twelve-year-old little monk, still running over in a hurry.

"Little Master Zen Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Alice clasped her hands together and saluted the little monk politely.

"All is well with the donor."

The young monk named Zenxin returned the favor.

"This time, please excuse me."

Alice worships Buddha all year round and comes here to stay at a specific time every year. Before leaving, she will add incense or reshape the golden body of the Buddha statue in the temple.

"Let's go, don't keep Master Chen waiting too long."

Vaughn moved his arms and legs, and carefully picked up Mu Mu again.

"Donor, please come this way..."

The Zen mind leads the way, and others follow suit.

"This is the abbot's monastery. Just go in."

"Thank you."

"come in."

The sound of dust rang out, and Asim quickly walked over and gently pushed the door open.

"Just leave one person here."

Liao Chen turned his back to the door and gently twisted the beads in his hand, making a slight rubbing sound.

"Mom, you go out, I'll stay with the little girl."

"Okay, then let's wait outside and let's go home together."

"Ah."

Vaughan nodded.

"Donor, I can help you save your wife, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Except for my life."

"I'm a monk, so what's the point of asking for your life? Life and death are determined by fate, so why force it."

"it is good."

"After today, if Nanshan Temple needs help, you must help unconditionally without any shirk."

Liao Chen's voice was a little heavy, as if he was explaining the funeral arrangements.

"it is good."

Vaughn nodded happily. This matter was very simple for him.

"In that case, let's start over there."

Liao Chen turned around and took out the black jar from under the table. The red cloth covering it had been cleaned.

"The stone worms should have been extinct a long time ago, but unexpectedly, a fish still slipped through the net. A few years ago, my master predicted my fate - the stone worms appeared, the fate was determined, red and white disappeared, and Geng was about to die. .”

"What do you mean?"

"The white worms in this jar are the natural enemies of the stone worms. Once the white worms eat the stone worms, they need to be extinguished with fire. If one insect is destroyed, all the insects will be destroyed."

Liao Chen said, unfolded the red cloth, picked up the white flesh worm as thick as his thumb in the altar, and swallowed it directly.

"you……"

Vaughan was shocked.

"Remember your promise!"

Miao Ran raised Mu Mu's arm and bit her wrist.

Gudonggudonggudong~

After swallowing mouthfuls of blood, Mu Mu's complexion gradually became natural, while Liao Chen's skin became dark...
