deceitful words and deeds

Mr. Mu was probably also stunned by this scene, with his hands behind his back slightly bowed, his eyes kept going back and forth between the monk and the Taoist, and he didn't even notice Di Chi and the others approaching.

The figure of the monk's back looked familiar, and when Di Xie saw the string of Buddhist beads around his neck, he immediately recognized it as the soul-returning wood, and the person sitting here reading his palm turned out to be the monk Du'e.He was a little curious for a moment, and stood silently on the sidelines to observe.

Qin Xiaoshu made a silent gesture to Yexing, covered his mouth and hid beside him, like a little mouse.

After all, I have never seen such a scene, although Master Banye said that colleagues are enemies, and Buddhism and Taoism are family, Di Xie couldn't help but hold his breath to listen——

"Look at your face," the goatee-clad Taoist priest in a Taoist robe pinched Monk Du'e's hand and looked carefully. Then he looked at his appearance and concluded, "You are a You wandering monk, you just came here not long ago."

Monk Du E said, "How do you know?"

"I look at your palmistry and face, and I know that you are destined to run around for the rest of your life, right?" The Taoist said with seriousness.Can you not know?He can squat here 360 ​​days a year for 360 days. Which monk in Hongtong Temple has he never seen?

Monk Du E nodded and said, "It's true."

The Taoist said again: "Your parents died early, you have always been lonely, and you have very little relationship with the people around you. Even if you have good friends, the other party will abandon you first. Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Monk Du E agreed: "Yes, everything is correct."

"Since what I said is right, you can also tell me what you want from me." Taoist Goatee fooled a few words casually, as if he would not respond to the other party if his heart was not sincere.

Di Xi only thought of Monk Du E as having nothing to do, joking with charlatans here, but he was actually quite serious.

I just heard Monk Du E say: "It's not that I want to calculate. I have a younger brother, and the master said that there is a catastrophe in his life. I speculate for many days, but I can't calculate the specific result. Maybe it's because we are too close. Maybe you can help me to see, I can get something else."

As he spoke, Monk Du'e took out a horoscope and put it in front of Taoist priest Goatee.Hearing that the other party was not a fake monk who was just making a living, and what he said meant that he also understood the method of divination in the Book of Changes, the Taoist priest showed surprise in his eyes, and quickly covered it up.

He was born thin, and sat firmly on the ponytail. Just looking at his upper body, he still looked a bit tall.Raising his eyelids and looking at the horoscope, Taoist Goatee said with a firm tone: "This life is not easy to count. Peeping at the secrets of the heavens will hurt the muscles and bones at the slightest, and damage the lifespan if it is serious. It is really not worth it."

"You just say how it can be calculated." Monk Du E was very straightforward.

"We are all about fate." Goatee's right eyelid raised a little, peeping from the corner of his eye, "You have your Buddha fate, I have my Dao fate, they are not connected, how can we talk about fate? But there is a poor way General-purpose magic weapon, scan it, delivery treasure 30 yuan."

Daoist Goatee took out a QR code, Qin Xiaoshu's face changed slightly, and he almost couldn't help laughing.

Where does he have any treasures to deliver, Monk Du E looked around and saw Di Chie standing behind him at some point, he greeted him first, and said bluntly: "Ah Chie, do you have any money with you?"

When he said hello, Mu Xingqi, who was watching on the sidelines, also saw Di Chie, and he was very clever. Seeing that he had been discovered, he immediately rushed over to say hello, Grandpa Mu.Mu Xingqi responded repeatedly, greeted Qin Xiaoshu and Di Chai, and stood with them as long as he held hands.

Without any hesitation, Di Chie said to Monk Du E, "I've brought it."

Taking out 30 yuan from his wallet, Monk Du E thanked him, took it and handed it to Taoist Goatee, but the Taoist dared not take it.

Half of the monks in Hongtong Temple are professional monks, and some of them would come to chat with the people who set up a stall outside the temple for nothing. The goatee Taoist thought that this old monk was also here to join in the fun, but he didn't expect him to be serious.

It's fine if you're serious about fortune-telling, so why bring a helper?The three adults and a child watched from the sidelines for a while, pretending to be two groups of people, who unexpectedly belonged to the group of old monks.

He suspected it was fishing!

Taoist Goatee hurriedly waved his hand: "Today's fate ends here, I'm going to close the stall, and we will meet again someday, so farewell!"

After speaking, Taoist Goatee rolled up the red cloth spread on the ground, folded up the ponytail, stepped on the scooter parked by the side of the road, and ran fast.

Monk Du E raised his hand: "Hey!"

That scooter runs faster.

"Hey!" Monk Du'e patted his thigh, "I'm still sitting here with a little horse."

He got up and handed the ponytail to the owner of the neighboring stall. If he saw the goatee Taoist priest, he would return it for him, and the stall owner agreed.Monk Du'e recited a Buddha's name: "Ah, why are you here? I didn't know you worshiped Buddha."

Di Chie said: "I came here to find Mr. Mu next to me. Thanks to Mr. Mu's care, I should visit more often."

Monk Du'e looked at Mu Xingqi, he also recognized this old gentleman who donated the most to Hongtong Temple, and his name was engraved on the merit tablet.He bowed to Mu Xingqi, nodded suddenly: "I see."

"Master, do you want someone to tell your fortune?" Di Que was a little curious.

The monk Du E said: "Before my master died, I said that my junior brother was destined to have a catastrophe, and the deadline was approaching. I felt very uneasy." Years, the comprehension has not increased at all, and I have not yet cultivated a renunciation."

The last time I saw Monk Du E was when he came to Xia City to look for his younger brother, Layman Wuqiu, and stayed at Qin Xiaoshu's house temporarily.At that time, Di Xie did hear him mention the catastrophe, and the monk Du'e also got a Buddha bone relic, which he wanted to give to the layman Wuqiu to survive the catastrophe.

Knowing that a catastrophe was coming, layman Wuqiu remained indifferent, as if letting nature take its course.

Di Chi expressed his understanding: "If you care about it, you will cause chaos. It's not a wrong thing."

During the conversation, Di Chie learned that Monk Du'e lived in Hongtong Temple temporarily, and only needed to give lectures to the believers occasionally, and all the expenses would be borne by the temple.

The reason why the monk Du E is willing to stay is because the fast food in the temple is delicious. There is a canteen in Hongtong Temple for the good men and women who offer incense, and the taste is quite good.

Under the gracious invitation of Master Du E, Di Chi and others stayed to listen to a lecture, had a fast meal, and washed the bowls after the meal and put them back in their original places before it was over.

Ye Xing was washing the dishes seriously, and suddenly raised his head and said to Qin Xiaoshu: "I still think the food cooked by Dad is better."

Qin Xiaoshu was a little surprised, so he could look down, and smiled: "I will eat chicken legs tomorrow."

"But I like to eat chicken wings." Ye Xing made a small request.

"Then eat chicken wings." Qin Xiaoshu changed his words immediately.

Di Xie couldn't explain it in words, and he didn't feel tired of eating chicken wings every day. He was almost tired of watching it.Qin Xiaoshu looked over proudly: "My son said he likes to eat the food I cook."

Di Xi thought for a moment, then smiled back.

Who cares, it's not a bad thing to have favorite foods, although it's okay to have preferences, but you don't have a partial eclipse, and you will eat other foods.

After wandering around all day, on the way back, Di Jie habitually replayed the events of the day in his mind, and when he thought of Monk Du E's junior, there was always something strange that he couldn't explain.

Qin Xiaoshu saw him frowning, looking thoughtful, and said, "You're not paying attention at all."

Di Xie was taken aback, and soon his expression relaxed: "I'm just wondering, the master's younger brother, who is clearly dedicated to the Buddha, and his residence is decorated like a Buddhist hall, how can he return to vulgarity?"

"You know him very well?" Qin Xiaoshu was very dissatisfied, thinking of other men beside him.

"Unfamiliar." Di Que shook his head.He may be really a bit of a soldier, and he feels suspicious when he sees everyone.

The little guy he was holding was yawning so much that Qin Xiaoshu couldn't bear to see him, so he picked him up, put his arms around his neck, and fell asleep.

The weather has been getting colder and colder recently, and the wind is even stronger at night.Di Chi said: "That's fine, you'll catch cold if you sleep outside, so go back and sleep again."

He didn't wake up after calling twice, it seemed that he was not far from home, so Di Xie went with him.

The three of them slept together for a long time at night, Qin Xiaoshu slept next to Di Cui, and Xing Xing slept next to each other, very harmonious.

However, Di Xie woke up from the cold early the next morning. He sat up still a little dazed, and opened his mouth: "Ah Chirp!"

Qin Xiaoshu immediately became nervous: "What's wrong?"

Di Xie sniffed and said in a nasal voice, "It's nothing, maybe...a little cold?" His tone was very uncertain.
