[Comprehensive Martial Arts] Go away, don't disturb my ascension

From Ji Kaiqing's point of view, the land area of ​​Lingyin Temple can't be seen how big it is, but Lingyin Temple, as a very famous temple in the Jiangnan area and even in the whole of the Great Wilderness, is definitely not the only thing that is shown in front of you.The buildings built on the mountain are usually built along with the mountain, and no one knows what else is there if you don't go in.

Going around the main gate of Lingyin Temple, it is different from the not-so-spacious place at the ferry. The place next to Lingyin Temple is a large open space. It is said to be an open space because there are only some stone slabs on the ground, which looks very Clean and clean, but not very flat because of the terrain.But it can be regarded as a place where people can relax a little. Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu found a place with trees and stood there. One leaned on the white jade-like stone railing, and the other stretched out a hand to support the tree. On the stone railing, two people stood like this, one facing in and the other facing outward.

The sun was already shining, and Ji Kaiqing leaned against the stone railing and raised his head to look at the big tree above him. The tree grew very well, and the canopy was enough to cover the two people standing here.It is a very comforting thing to have such a big tree to shade and protect the sun in this season caused by the sun. At least just now Ji Kaiqing was agitated because of too many people, and because of this small thing, he suddenly disappeared. He laughed sharply.

"What are you laughing at?" Song Qingshu's broken hair on his forehead was blown up by the wind, and he stretched out his hand to tidy up the broken hair that rubbed against his eyes, not missing Ji Kaiqing's smiling face just now.

Ji Kaiqing put his hand on Song Qingshu's shoulder near him, and moved his fingers a little restlessly: "I just think that sometimes small things can make people suddenly happy, so that's why I laughed. It's you, just now What's going on at the door?"

"I..." Song Qingshu frowned slightly, and said it despite some hesitation, "I seem to have seen Cheng Kun, but I didn't see it very clearly. I just think... the profile is very similar."

Song Qingshu has a deep impression of Cheng Kun?

Otherwise, how could he "feel very similar" to him with just a side face...

Ji Kaiqing didn't express this question, but kept it in his heart.

He thought for a while and asked, "At the beginning Yang Xiao said that Cheng Kun might be with Zhao Min. Could it be that you misread?" There were so many people just now, how did he see Cheng Kun at a glance from the crowd? people's...

When Song Qingshu was asked by Ji Kaiqing, he also doubted whether he had read it wrong. He hadn't seen Cheng Kun for many years. To be honest, Song Qingshu really couldn't describe Cheng Kun directly and completely.

When the other party hesitated, Ji Kaiqing understood, and he felt helpless: "Since you are not sure, why don't we go in and ask?"

Song Qingshu turned around and took a few steps to the other side, looked at the crowd that hadn't decreased in the slightest, and said as he walked back, "Didn't the little master say to wait until there are fewer people before going in?"

"Did you go to see less people just now?"

"...No." Song Qingshu's face was full of helplessness, "Did I not read the almanac when I went out in the morning? Is today an important day?"

Song Qingshu didn't know, and Ji Kaiqing didn't know even more. He nodded with the same expression as Song Qingshu: "So it's the same whether you go early or late. What if that person is really Cheng Kun?"

Ji Kaiqing didn't like to go to this kind of place where there are so many people. When he entered the door, he almost went in close to the stone lion at the door. Squeeze between the stone lanterns.

There were many people who came to Lingyin Temple, but it was not as chaotic as Ji Kaiqing thought.As soon as you enter the gate of Lingyin Temple, it is a place where people offer incense and worship. The rectangular incense burner is placed in front of the main hall with the words "Daxiong Palace", and pilgrims line up to offer incense in an orderly manner.

Ji Kaiqing stood aside and looked at it for a few moments, and then went to Song Qingshu, who looked around in the pilgrims but didn't see the familiar face.Song Qingshu shook his head slightly at Ji Kaiqing, and the two of them walked away from the place where incense was offered.

In front of the Daxiong Hall are two stone pagodas about five meters in length, because Ji Kaiqing is not very familiar with Buddhism, and he doesn't know what they are for.Behind the two stone pagodas stood a stone tablet, and Ji Kaiqing could only distinguish a few of the things written on it, and Ji Kaiqing couldn't understand the specific meaning.

The two of them were about to walk up the steps in front of the Daxiong Palace, when the monks who were standing on both sides of the steps with their hands clasped together stretched out their hands to stop Ji Kaiqing and Song Qingshu.

Ji Kaiqing didn't expect to be stopped, because there were indeed pilgrims walking up there, so he should be able to go up, so Ji Kaiqing didn't think too much about it.He clasped his hands together and said a Buddha's name to the monk: "Little master, is there something wrong?"

The little monk also lowered his head and bent slightly: "The important place of Buddhism, this benefactor's sword must be untied and deposited before he can enter."

As soon as these words came out, Song Qingshu unhooked the sword hanging from his waist without the slightest hesitation. His sword was the same as the one Ji Kaiqing held before, and it was forged by Yu Daiyan, which was very in line with Song Qingshu's habits.

Ji Kaiqing didn't speak, and let Song Qingshu hand over his sword to the little monk.He and Song Qingshu both had the same idea. Others would hesitate when unloading their weapons, and would worry about what might happen after they went in. It would be very troublesome if they didn't have a weapon at hand.But this worrying point is not a problem for the two of them at all, his [Tianyi Fengyunyang] is not displayed, and the other sword made by Yu Daiyan has been lying in the inventory all the time.

If there is any problem, just pull it out at any time.

After Ji Kaiqing waited for the monk to take the sword away, he looked at another person who stopped them: "We are here to visit Senior Yuan Kong, so I would like to ask this little master, where is Senior Yuan Kong now?"

The monk looked Ji Kaiqing up and down, a little unsure of his identity: "Dare to ask the benefactor's name?"

"A disciple of Taixu Temple, Ji Kaiqing."

Seeing the expression on the monk's face, he became more cordial. He recited the Buddha's name again, and then stretched out a hand to signal Ji Kaiqing to follow him: "It turns out that it is Master Ji. Uncle Yuan Kong just said that today may A little friend surnamed Ji will come."

Ji Kaiqing raised his eyebrows in surprise, but he quickly covered up the moment of surprise.Visiting Yuan Kong, an eminent monk in Lingyin Temple, was his daily routine in the Jiangnan area. He had never met Yuan Kong before, and naturally the other party must not know him.

So all this can only be explained by the needs of the task.

"Little Master, may I ask if there is a man named Cheng Kun in Lingyin Temple?" Ji Kaiqing asked as he walked behind the monk.

The young monk, who looked only thirteen or fourteen years old, thought for a while and shook his head: "Pilgrims? There are so many pilgrims who come to Lingyin Temple every month, and we have no way to remember the name of every pilgrim who comes to offer incense. "

For a moment, Ji Kaiqing felt that he had asked a stupid question.

"Where is Yuanzhen?" Song Qingshu asked, "Do you know that a dharma name is Yuanzhen...a person?"

Hearing that Song Qingshu didn't use the usual respectful address for Buddhist disciples when addressing Yuanzhen, Ji Kaiqing knew that Yuanzhen should be Cheng Kun.Ji Kaiqing also couldn't remember how Yang Xiao told him about Cheng Kun at the beginning, and whether he had said about Cheng Kun becoming a monk. Since Song Qingshu asked him so, he must have a reason.

"The benefactor is referring to Master Yuanzhen? Master Yuanzhen is not a monk of our Lingyin Temple, but he occasionally comes to Lingyin Temple to exchange Buddhism with Senior Brother Liao Yuan." Before Song Qingshu could ask other questions in an indirect manner, the little master asked Standing in front of the door of a side room, he slightly raised his voice, "Uncle Yuankong, Master Ji is here."

Yuan Kong, the eminent monk of Lingyin Temple, is not as kind and kind-hearted as Ji Kaiqing imagined, on the contrary, Yuan Kong's appearance is more inclined to the tough guy type, and he is not as old and eighty as Ji Kaiqing imagined, on the contrary. In the prime of life.Judging from Ji Kaiqing's experience, this senior Yuankong is a Buddhist disciple practicing external skills. His muscular contours can't be covered even if he wears a loose monk's robe. Even Yuankong's wrist and neck wear The Buddhist beads are two or three times larger than others.

Yuan Kong's eyes fell on the two people in front of him. He looked at Song Qingshu first, and then said: "I thought Ji Ji came by himself, but I didn't expect to bring a Wudang disciple with him."

"Wudang Song Qingshu, I have met Senior Yuankong." Song Qingshu had a serious expression, clasped his hands together and saluted Yuankong with a sincere tone.

Yuan Kong faintly called out the Buddha's name.

"Senior Yuan Kong." Ji Kaiqing didn't know what conditions needed to be fulfilled for the daily task of visiting Yuan Kong. He was about to say hello to him like Song Qingshu, but Yuan Kong stopped him as soon as he spoke.

Yuan Kong's attitude towards Ji Kaiqing was completely different from Song Qingshu's. He was obviously much more kind. His somewhat serious face was softened, and there was also the intimacy that Ji Kaiqing could feel in his eyes.This kind of intimacy makes Ji Kaiqing very comfortable. Any more is enthusiasm, and one less is stranger. Yuan Kong's eyebrow shape makes him look a bit fierce, but after adding the bonus of intimacy, Ji Kaiqing is more I feel that Yuankong in front of me makes people feel good.

"The poor monk calculated that Donor Ji should be arriving in the south of the Yangtze River soon, but he didn't have an accurate time when he calculated it before. After the morning class today, the poor monk only felt that he had to calculate a hexagram. It was because of Benefactor Ji's arrival in Jiangnan. "Yuan Kong walked to the side of the two people, "The two benefactors will follow me to the apse first, and you will know when there is anything."
