Buddha's heart

Recently, Chen Kai always felt that the symptoms of the little apprentice being frozen and muddled had worsened.

Logically speaking, Nanmen Liu is a genius who can cultivate ghosts and pull out spiritual roots without a teacher. Considering his ingenuity, it should be very easy to learn the heartstring piano. After all, what Chen Kai taught is not difficult, but It's just the simplest heartstring diagnosis, and it doesn't need to hear any difficult and miscellaneous diseases, it's just for first aid.

Find the right string, inject spiritual power, pluck the string, listen, it's gone.

But Nanmen Liu just couldn't learn it, and Chen Kai had to teach him several times before he could press a string.

Nanmenliu's fingers are slender and fair, because they haven't done any rough work, they are soft and tender. There are only a little callus on the inside of the fingers and the tiger's mouth to hold the pen, which is very comfortable to pinch.

It's like kneading dough with a bit of chewiness... Chen Kai thought.

Nanmen Liu lowered her eyes and quietly blushed her ears.

"Don't be nervous," Chen Kai reminded him, "Concentrate."

Master has said this sentence several times, but Nanmen Liu still turned to look at him from time to time.

"Look at what I'm doing?" Chen Kai also looked back, "Is there a string on my face?"

Nanmen Liu shook her head.

Chen Kai: "...Then why don't you watch the piano?"

Nanmen Liu looked back at the qin, her slender fingers stroked it back and forth, like paddling water, but there were no ripples.

Chen Kai: "...Inject spiritual power."

Nanmen Liu looked at him again.

Chen Kai: "...Look at the piano."

Nanmen Liu looked at him for a while, and watched the piano for a while, her spiritual power slowly flowed, and with a flick of her fingers, her hands seemed to take off, completely leaving the piano pool.

Chen Kai hurriedly pressed his fingers down.

The broad palm folded over the slender hand, and a sound was pressed.

The two spoke at the same time:

"Master..."

"listen."

Nanmen Liu tilted his head: "Master, what are you talking about? No sound can be heard."

Chen Kai let go of his hand, paused before saying, "Because I was covered by your voice."

Nanmen Liu asked pitifully: "Master, am I, am I too stupid?"

He quickly stroked a lock of hair on his chest with both hands, lowered his head and looked at the piano table uneasily, only to hear Chen Kai say: "Your reaction in this aspect is indeed a bit poor."

Nanmen Liu: "..."

The veins on the back of his hand holding a lock of hair were stretched out, as if he was about to smash the piano and leave, but when he raised his head, he blinked a pair of big wet eyes, looking at Chen Kai as if he was about to cry in a second.

"But it doesn't matter." Chen Kai had no expression on his face, and changed the topic, "As a teacher, I have never learned an instrument before I have achieved true results. If I want to learn it, I may be worse than you."

Nanmen Liu's tears dried up in an instant, half-believing: "Really, Master, you don't know how to play musical instruments, so you're not interested?"

How simple is this thing?

"Really." Chen Kai nodded and said, "I only know flute and qinxiao, because it's meaningless to learn too much."

Nanmen Liu opened his eyes and imagined it.

In the moonlight, a knight-errant stood on a treetop, playing a flute...

He raised his hand and gently pressed his lips, and looked at Chen Kai expectantly: "I, I want to watch Master play the flute, can I learn it too?"

"As a musical instrument, the qinxiao is very simple, but as a magical instrument, it is more difficult than the heart string." Chen Kai held his wrist, put his hands on the piano pool again, and said, "I will teach you after I have learned this." .”

"Oh fine."

Nanmen Liu was not too greedy, leaned back and got into Chen Kai's arms, letting Chen Kai's arms that were originally in front of him support behind him, which was equivalent to half-hugging him, and it was better than before. go one step further.

This time, Chen Kai didn't grab his fingers anymore.

"Master?" Nanmen Liu urged, "Hurry up, I can't find Xian."

Chen Kai: "No way, apprentice, this way..."

Nanmen Liu was startled, and looked at him in surprise.

Chen Kai: "This is too intimate."

Nanmen Liu was ecstatic: "Master!"

Chen Kai: "You just told me that you are not a child anymore, let me pay attention, and you forgot?"

Nanmen Liu: "...it's fine."

He gritted his teeth, showed a smile, and rubbed Chen Kai's shoulder.

"The situation is different now than it was then," he said. "Isn't this level of contact common?"

Chen Kai asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"

Nanmen Liu directly held his arm and nodded with certainty: "I'm sure!"

Chen Kai's expression gradually became confused.

In fact, when the little apprentice made a request, he followed suit, and he would pay attention to keeping a distance from the little apprentice, so he still felt a little awkward in this posture.

Because it's not just the upper body. In this sitting position, the thighs of the two people are stuck together. No matter how you look at it, it's the intimacy between husband and wife or mother and daughter, right?

Could it be that the relationship between the two of them is already like a pair of mother and daughter?

If you think about it this way, actually, um, it’s not impossible...

Since what the little apprentice says is nothing, let's take it as nothing.

Chen Kai convinced himself and began to concentrate on teaching.

There are fifty strings on the zither for no reason, and there are only a few more strings on the heart string. Each string and each column requires Chen Kai to hold the little apprentice half in his arms and pinch his fingers to fish hard. For most of the day, I didn't remember to do it again. After two times, the day is over.

Whenever a different teacher came to teach, if he hadn't dropped the piano and left, maybe something else would have happened. It's a pity that Chen Kai is not an ordinary person, and he didn't move in the innocent and lovely eyes of the little apprentice.

At the end of the lesson, Chen Kai was speechless for a long time, and so was Nanmen Liu.

"You may not be suitable for learning the piano." Chen Kai looked at his fidgeting fingers and said.

Nanmen Liu looked at his indifferent expression and replied, "I think so, too. You can't make progress like this."

Chen Kai took another pipa: "Why don't you try this."

I bought this pipa in Suhe earlier, because there were several willow branches carved on it. At that time, Chen Kai was still encouraging Nanmen Liu to buy and buy, so it was accepted temporarily for emergency needs, and the strings had already been pulled out by Chen Kai. Now, it can be used to play the heartstrings at any time.

Chen Kai picked up the pipa, demonstrated a piece of music to him, and said: "Look, this is very simple."

Nanmen Liu saw that he was holding several willow branches in his arms, as if he was hugging himself, and couldn't help being a little distracted, suddenly he was not satisfied with the half-hugging and half-hugging just now, and blurted out: "I am holding a pipa, how can Master find it for me? string?"

Is it Master holding me?

After saying that, he rushed over, wanting to sit directly on Chen Kai's lap.

As a result, Chen Kai moved deftly to let him sit where he was just now, while he turned around and lifted up the hem of his clothes, squatting halfway in front of him, directly opposite him, pinching his fingers to find the string.

Nanmen Liu let out a long sigh.

This time he learned a little faster, after all, there are few strings, but Chen Kai half-kneeled on his waist, looked up at him with focused eyes, and looked down at the strings with thick, long and curled eyelashes, which made him very distracted. Heart.

After studying for a while, he just looked at Chen Kai's ears, neck, shoulders... and his thoughts flew to nowhere.

"You always watch what I do." Chen Kai caught him distracted several times, and finally couldn't help repeating, "There is no string on my face."

Nanmen Liu plucked up her courage and confessed in a low voice: "Master is beautiful."

Chen Kai suggested: "Then I will cover my face."

Nanmen Liu shyly said: "Don't! Master's hands are also pretty..."

Chen Kai said: "I wear gloves."

Nanmen Liu said indifferently: "...Master's figure is also good."

Chen Kai had an idea: "I become a ruler."

Nanmen Liu just became indifferent, but his face became hotter and hotter. He didn't know what he thought of, and his attitude was very improper.

Before Chen Kai became a Buddha, he knew that his master, Zen master Xue Ji, would often speak ill and curse when he was giving lectures to students. Its meaning is self-evident, you are all very smart, you can just enlighten yourself when you go back." When scolding others, "Everyone looks at me without reading the book", "See if I can enlighten the Tao by mouth?", " Is there a word of heaven on my face?", "My Buddha doesn't talk about it!", these sentences are the most common.

At that time Chen Kai's ear was excellent, when he heard it by chance, he was only puzzled, he didn't understand what Master was excited about, but now he suddenly felt a little bit touched.

He would not be irritable, let alone yell like his master, and the little apprentice praised him for being good-looking everywhere, but he still felt happy, with a smile on his face.

just a little...

confused.

how to teach

Chen Kai stood up, stopped half-squatting, and slowly approached the little apprentice, staring at his face, trying to analyze his problem, only to see that his cheeks were getting redder... Chen Kai understood.

"Are you shy when you play the pipa?"

Chen Kai looked at him and asked straightforwardly.

Nanmen Liu looked at him with attached eyes, and a sentence had already reached the tip of her tongue, and she was about to blurt it out in the next moment.

"I understand," Chen Kai said suddenly, patted his head and immediately turned around, "Then let's not force it, I'll find some other instruments, you go see Luo Yinyin first."

Nanmen Liu was so surprised that she couldn't speak, her tongue that was about to confess her love was tied up: Do you understand? ? ?

After Chen Kai finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Nanmen Liu stared at him for a long time but didn't see him turning back. It wasn't until he walked out of the room that his expression gradually became stiff, and finally his smile disappeared. He clenched his right fist, turned around and raised his fist, gritted his teeth and looked at the musical instruments in front of him, wanting to hammer them one by one. It was broken, but he was afraid of making a sound, so he lowered his fist in the end.

But he took two steps, thought for a while, but came back out of anger, couldn't help raising his fist again...and then put it down again.

After repeating this several times, Nanmen Liu finally sat down by the bed and hammered two mattresses resentfully.

Ah ah ah ah ah!

You understand what a ghost! ! ! ! !

·

Chen Kai really had an epiphany.

Because the little apprentice said that he should be treated as an adult who is different from others, not a child, nor just a little apprentice, let alone a cute flower, so Chen Kai gradually analyzed his heart and understood him. Thoughtful and delicate, there will be small emotions——

It turned out that the little apprentice was the type who would be shy when performing in front of people.

Then you only need to choose a magic instrument that you can hear the sound without playing.

This kind of thinking is difficult for others to think of, but after all, Chen Kai is the way of heaven, very smart, and immediately listed three common alternatives:

Nine-section whip, Yulin bell, and ring head knife.

Coincidentally, the weapons Chen Kai used before were of this type.

In the beginning, he came out of the mountain with an ordinary short knife, the same as the one commonly used by bandits and gangsters.

Later, in order to remind the people around him to flee for their lives when going to the battlefield, he changed the ring-shoulder knife, and became a standard water bandit when crossing the Styx River.

In the end, he entered Tianyin Temple in the fairy world. He should have replaced it with a silent sword, but for the prosperity of the sect, Zen Master Xueji left him the eight-ring sound staff that presided over it. It is very bluffing. The magic sound fills the ear, especially good at clearing the field.

Chen Kai's body mirror can be turned into a ring-headed knife, and can even be turned into a steel wire that cuts everything, but it is more than flexible and sharp enough. If it is rolled into a circle, it is easy to cut the void, and it is not easy to produce the cracking sound of the whip, so he I just searched for Yulinling.

The bell is one of the eight tones, but this kind of bell is not a musical instrument, it was originally used for communication and sound transmission.

After years of improvement, it can already be used as a magic weapon for attack and healing. Adding different formations to the bells of different materials can assist in combat and have a surprising effect when facing the enemy. Chen Kai thought Rather than attaching formations to oneself, it is better to prepare more bells with various functions, which are different from weapons and are also convenient for young apprentices to use.

This kind of thinking, coupled with the lessons learned from the failure of teaching string music, led Chen Kai to finally collect a large number of Yulinlings.

Some time ago, when he conquered Jingping, he taught his young apprentices to order Chen Yi and Lian Xi to lead people, and sealed off and searched several wealthy families in Kyoto who were not convinced.

When detained and searched, the first thing to be confiscated was not gold and silver, but the Yulin bells used to convey news, so after Chen Kai brought all these Yulin bells back to the little apprentice's room, he probably placed them in the room On that huge long table, it can be piled up into a small hill.

But before he took out the bell, he found that the little apprentice was still in the room.

When Chen Kai collected these things, Nanmen Liu had already gone out and returned, as if he had never left.

"Have you met Luo Yinyin?"

The little apprentice had been sitting by the bed, and as soon as Chen Kai came in, he ran out like a puppy waiting for its master, so Chen Kai doubted whether he had talked to Luo Yinyin properly.

"Ah."

Nanmen Liu absent-mindedly perfunctory.

"I said that my body needs to rest a little longer, and let Princess Qingdu explain other things to her."

Chen Kai discovered that he had learned the most essential knowledge after studying with him for so long——

Live more and more like a young master.

Then according to the normal teaching plan, next, he should begin to understand the sufferings of the world.

Chen Kai decided that it was time to correct him, and persuaded him: "Luo Yinyin cares about you very much, you'd better explain it to her personally. If she delays, Lingtong Academy will punish her severely."

In fact, Chen Kai secretly thought that if Luo Yinyin and the young apprentice went north together, there might be some feelings between the two of them.

His willow has also grown up.

Before forming an alchemy, it would be great if one could start a family and start a career.

Nanmen Liu sat down next to Chen Kai again, looked at him gently with a pair of big dark eyes, showing a pure and weak temperament, and said with some disappointment: "I committed treason in Jingping. For such a serious crime, I no longer care what others think of me, so I told her not to wait for me, I guess... she won't wait either. "

His tone was quite different from before, although Chen Kai found it strange, he no longer felt that he had a fever and fell ill, but felt a little distressed.

"Disciple..."

Chen Kai was about to comfort him, but he stretched out his right index finger and pressed Chen Kai's lips.

With soft fingertips, Chen Kai lowered his head and glanced at the bluish-white hand.

"The reason I'm back so soon is because of this—"

Nanmen Liu took out a small glazed bottle with his left hand, the inside was faintly emitting red light, and a wisp of black magic energy was wrapped around the mouth of the bottle.

"An evil spirit attached to Xiao Ling's body," Chen Kai asked suspiciously, "Chen Yi caught it? What's wrong?"

He himself is a bright mirror, his eyes can reflect everything in the world. When he went out to see Luo Yinyin, he saw a ghost parasitized on Xiao Ling's mutilated right arm, but he didn't take it seriously at all.

Evil ghosts stay in the human world, and sooner or later they want to harm people.

If it was placed before becoming a monk, Chen Kai would probably encounter injustice and kill ghosts with a sword, but if it was placed after becoming a monk, Chen Kai would chant sutras and help evil spirits reincarnate. Unfortunately, Chen Kai is now a Buddha. The mentality after that is not only looking at people like flowers, but also looking at ghosts like looking at people. In short, everything is based on air, except for the little apprentice, so I don’t care about it at all.

On the contrary, Chen Yi, although he didn't care about it at first, but after seeing Chen Kailai, he couldn't figure out what Chen Kai meant, so he "keep the way of heaven in his heart", "do the way for the sky", and "do his best for the good", and deliberately dismissed him. Xiao Ling easily caught it.

"It's Xiao Zhi." Nanmen Liu said.

Of course Chen Kai knew.

Moreover, Chen Kai could also speculate that Xiao Zhi had the original book in his hand, and he might know some of the original future plot, so he ran to the dojo that was supposed to be Nanmen Liu, abandoned his body, and used his body to feed ghosts.

It's a pity that Xiao Zhi's strength is not enough, and he doesn't have the perseverance of Nanmen Liu, so he became too obsessed in the end, so now he is unconscious, so he was easily caught by Chen Yi.

It's just that Nanmen Liu has said before that this Xiao Zhi is no longer that Xiao Zhi, and he has no grievances or enmity with him, so even if Chen Kai knew about it, he has no interest in Xiao Zhi.

If Xiao Zhi possessed Luo Yinyin, Chen Kai would help get rid of it, but for Xiao Ling, it doesn't matter.

"I thought about it carefully, and felt that he was very pitiful," Nanmen Liu said, "Since he came to this world, he hasn't experienced a single good thing, so I want to help him."

Chen Kai felt a little strange.

Hell is not empty, vow not to become a Buddha, this is the way of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Now the little apprentice has suddenly awakened himself, and has been able to understand the sufferings of others, and even Xiao Zhi, who has become an evil ghost, wants to help, logically speaking, it has exceeded Chen Kai's expectations, but Chen Kai feels that something is wrong for some reason .

"You are kind-hearted, so you can help if you want," he said, "but at least you must first learn the basic skills of medical training."

After all, the little apprentice himself is very delicate, how can he help others?

Nanmen Liu carefully observed Chen Kai's expression, and felt that he didn't seem to be very moved, but his tone when he said that he was "kind-hearted" did not seem to be fake.

Judging from the performance of this day, Nanmen Liu gradually understood what he was good at.

"But I'm too stupid to learn well."

He said in a low voice, looking at Chen Kai's eyes filled with the word "weak".

Poor—probably the trait that most attracts Master's attention.

Unfortunately, what he didn't expect was that Chen Kai smiled slightly, took out a bell from behind, shook it like a cat in front of him, then took out a lot of bells, and helped him put the musical instrument back together within a day. The problem is solved!

"Choose one," Chen Kai said, "You don't need to learn this one."

Nanmen Liu's heart was ashamed, and she forced a smile.

"Many, thank you, Master."

He walked to the table, plucked at the bell, and finally picked out a string of tiny seedling bells.

This thing was originally Shen Lan's favorite concubine's thing. It was used for accompaniment when dancing. The sound is not loud, but it looks good. It could only be a problem with the brain, so I had no choice but to infuse spiritual power into the bell carelessly.

He turned his head and waved at Chen Kai, then lowered his head again, looking for other bells sullenly.

The moment Miao Ling made a sound, Chen Kai's heart stopped beating for a moment, and he raised his hand to hold his chest.

It's the heartstrings.
