[Journey to the West] Friendship
Work related
Before Lin Mu called himself by first name and last name, he felt a little sad.Lin Mu was a little tangled because of Duan Xuan's series of actions.
He was doubting—whether Duan Xuan's words last night were a confession?
If so, how should he respond?
If not, why would Duan Xuan do such things and say such things?
Lin Mu woke up in the midst of such questions, and barely fell asleep until dawn.
……
But Lin Mu didn't sleep for a long time before waking up - inexplicably, he felt that someone was staring at him.
Lin Mu opened his eyes dimly, and what he saw was a delicate collarbone.
……
Lin Mu was really a little confused, he stared blankly at the collarbone in front of him, the memory of last night slowly came back, and then...
What the hell!
Lin Mu shuddered and sat up abruptly, only to find that his posture was a bit strange——
One of his legs was loosely placed on Duan Xuan's waist, and his arms were wrapped around Duan Xuan's waist, holding Duan Xuan's whole body in his arms. This posture...was very ambiguous!
But the most damning thing is that Duan Xuan is obviously the one who should be suspected, but now it is him, Lin Mu, who hugs him and turns himself into the active one...
How did this plot go? !
Lin Mu's movement was a little big, and Duan Xuan felt like waking up from his movement. Lin Mu was so frightened that he quickly moved all parts of his body away from Duan Xuan's body, rolling and crawling to get up.
But just as he was about to get up, he suddenly saw Chen Yi squatting beside him expressionlessly looking at him with a small face.
"..."
Lin Mu was almost scared to death by Chen Yi!But even for the sake of face, he couldn't show it, he could only ask calmly, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yi nodded and said, "You got up late."
Lin Mu: "..." Why are you squatting here and staring at me with such a crap?
"So you don't have breakfast." Chen Yi continued.
"...Understood." Lin Mu said weakly.
After such a short time, he felt that Duan Xuan behind him had gotten up, so he quickly stood up and went to wash in the woods. When Duan Xuan also walked over, Lin Mu hurriedly settled himself, and then left in a hurry. Just glanced at Duan Xuan, and saw that the dark circles under Duan Xuan's eyes were very serious, and when he saw himself, he simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Lin Mu felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if...
Neglected?
Lin Mu scratched his head, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and walked towards the open space last night.
After several people packed up, they drove the donkey on the road.
It takes about half a month to walk from here to Huasheng Temple, but none of Lin Mu and the others took it to heart. After all, Chen Yi and Tianpeng didn't know about the 81 difficulty, and Lin Mu and Duan Xuan felt that Chen Yi has not yet become a monk, and it is even more unlikely that he will encounter any monsters.
So the state of several people is very relaxed.
But when the next day was about to pass peacefully, something unexpected happened suddenly.
……
"What is that black thing in front?" Lin Mu tilted his head and looked at the thing that fell on the ground in front of him, a little puzzled, "It looks like a cloth bag?"
After all, Chen Yi was a child at heart, so he said, "Go and have a look?"
"I'll go," Duan Xuandao, "Top, stay and protect Chen Yi and Amu."
"...I don't need protection," Lin Mu felt that his masculinity had been challenged, and said blackly, "I'll go with you, I'm also curious about what that thing is."
Duan Xuan frowned, but didn't say anything, and walked towards the black mass together with Lin Mu.
……
"It looks like a living thing?" Lin Mu guessed, "Look, it's still moving."
The black cloth ball kept undulating like someone was fighting.
"Well, it should be a person," Duan Xuan said, "This is the fabric of the clothes."
"But this person is too big, right?" Lin Mu was surprised, "This fabric is enough for two people."
Before Lin Mu finished speaking, he saw the cloth ball was lifted abruptly, revealing a man in white.
The author has something to say: When writing about delicate clavicles...my mind is full of ribs...when I named this chapter, I especially wanted to use ribs...(?﹃?)
☆、【Monk】
The man in white was hairless on the top of his head, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, clasped his hands, and sat cross-legged on the ground like that, as if he had been sitting here quietly since the very beginning.
Lin Mu looked at the man in white, then at Duan Xuan, and couldn't help but ask, "...a juggler?"
Duan Xuan: "..."
"Let's go," Lin Mu recalled the time when he went out to eat in college in his previous life and met a monk who came in for alms, and said, "Or he will come over to ask for money later."
"..." Duan Xuan couldn't help but patted Lin Mu's head, "Quiet."
Lin Mu hesitated to speak, but before he could figure out what to say, the monk in white laughed lightly, opened his eyes, and looked at himself.
The monk's eyes were dark but full of brilliance, as if he could see through people at a glance.
"Benefactor, the poor monk is not a juggler," said the monk in white, "The poor monk is only here to help someone with a predestined relationship."
The monk in white had a nice voice, low and crisp.
but……
"Can you understand what he is saying?" Lin Mu asked Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan shook his head silently, and said, "I don't know what he's talking about, but I know his mana is profound."
"How do you know?" Lin Mu asked strangely.
"I can't see his cultivation level," Duan Xuan whispered next to Lin Mu's ear, "but there must be a reason for him to appear here inexplicably."
Lin Mu was taken aback, he knew from Duan Xuan's tone that Duan Xuan was not joking, he was really worried, so he couldn't help becoming a little serious.
"That... may I ask, master, who are you saving here?" Lin Mu also imitated the way in the TV series and bowed to the monk in white, asking.
"People with predestined relationship." The monk in white said the same thing.
"...Can you give me an example?" Lin Mu couldn't help asking, "There are only you and the five of us here. Who is the predestined person?"
The monk in white smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you the only ones here?"
Lin Mu was stunned, then smiled and said, "Monks don't lie, does your master know that you lie like this?"
"Oh?" The monk in white didn't change at all, and smiled, "Why do you think I'm lying?"
"Because you obviously didn't realize we were coming," Lin Mu put his chin on his hand, and cosplayed Detective Conan, "What were you doing in this black cloth when we came? If you come To transform us, you wouldn't use that way of appearance, would you?"
Lin Mu's words were still reasonable, and the white-clothed monk chuckled again, and said proactively: "You are right, but I am not lying, I am indeed here to save destined people, and you are indeed destined people."
Lin Mu frowned, he always felt that the monk in white was playing word games with them.
"I'm leaving." The monk in white said suddenly.
Both Lin Mu and Duan Xuan were taken aback.
The monk in white didn't seem to notice Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's stupefaction, and stood up, holding a string of Buddhist beads in one hand, and picked up the black cloth on the ground with the other hand.
"Amitabha," the monk in white uttered the Buddha's name, handed over the piece of black cloth, and said, "Since the benefactors are predestined, please take this black cloth away."
Lin Mu took a closer look at the black cloth. After studying for a long time, he realized that it was a large coat and it was black, so he thought it was an ordinary black cloth at first glance.
"What is this?" Duan Xuan asked.
"It's just a piece of clothing." The white-clothed monk smiled and comforted Lin Mu and Duan Xuan very gently, "I met you here because of fate. This piece of clothing has experienced many things. Following you, maybe there will be One day we will see the light of day."
Both Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's faces were terrified.
What the monk in white said was too easy to mislead.
What does it mean that this dress has "been through a lot"?Even if you open your mind and think that the monk in white means that the owner of this dress has experienced a lot in wearing it, what does "seeing the sun again" mean?Now the blue sky and white day are wearing black robes and staying here, isn't it seeing the light of day?
"You don't want it?" The monk in white asked, looking at the expressions of Lin Mu and Duan Xuan.
"...Master, you see, no one here can wear this dress, why don't you take it away yourself?" Lin Mu said with some hesitation.
The monk in white sighed softly and said, "Is this God's will?"
After finishing speaking, the monk in white raised his hand, put the black robe on his shoulders, clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Mu's Duan Xuan, and said, "Since God's will, the poor monk will not shirk, benefactors, you are all Destined person, we will see you later."
Lin Mu was taken aback, but before he could say anything, he saw that the monk in white had turned around and left. After walking for three minutes, his body began to slowly become transparent, and within a few blinks, he disappeared into the forest.
"...What's going on here?" Lin Mu turned his head and glanced at Duan Xuan, with various question marks on his head.
"I don't know," Duan Xuan frowned, with a look of worry on his face, "No matter what, it's best to get out of here quickly."
Immediately, the two turned around and walked in the direction of Tianpeng and Chen Yi. After briefly talking to them about the monk in white, Tianpeng also came to the same conclusion as Duan Xuan, and they stopped talking. I didn't even skip lunch, and I was on my way nervously all day, and I rushed to the next town before the sun went down.
Because they rushed to the town, the group didn't need to sleep in the open, and spent the money brought by Chen Yi's family to open four rooms, each sleeping in its own room.
Such a result made Lin Mu feel a little relieved. He didn't know how to face Duan Xuan, so he simply didn't face it.Anyway, if Duan Xuan has his eyes on him, then Duan Xuan will come to him for a showdown sooner or later. If he feels wrong, Duan Xuan has no other meaning to him at all, so it is not good if he is too entangled in this matter, so Just procrastinate like this, sooner or later the truth will be revealed.
……
In the days that followed, the four of them hurried on their way as quickly as possible. Although they never met the white-clothed monk again, it was miraculous that they would sometimes hear stories about a white-clothed monk helping to cast down demons in the town. They were slightly taken aback.
"Didn't the monk disappear out of thin air?" Lin Mu asked in surprise, "Why does he seem to be traveling? And why do we always meet him? His route is the same as ours?"
Duan Xuan was also silent, and directly took out the map prepared by the Chen family for Chen Yi and looked at it. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I can't see it. According to his route, he has maps in every city. Maybe go to another place, and we are too far away from Chang'an now, so we can't see his purpose at all."
Canopy nodded and said, "Or he has no purpose at all, just to travel around."
"Okay." Lin Mu scratched his head and said, "Let's go as soon as possible. I always feel that although the monk looks very harmonious, he feels strange no matter how he thinks about it."
……
The few people couldn't prove anything, so they could only follow Lin Mu's idea and hurry on their way as soon as possible.
But the miraculous thing didn't end there. They could still hear about the white-clothed monk every time they went to a town.They also thought about going to see the white-clothed monk again, but these things seemed to have been calculated. The white-clothed monk always left the day before they arrived in the town, which was not accurate.
In this way, in order to catch up with the monk in white, they wanted to go as soon as possible, and abruptly shortened the original travel time by half.
When they arrived in Chang'an in one day, the four of them had another small meeting at night.
The map was taken out again and placed on the table. Lin Mu looked at the map, pointed to their location, and said, "His purpose may indeed be the same as ours."
"Indeed," Lin Mu said, "If you go from here, you can only go to Chang'an. But the question is, did he simply want to go to Chang'an, or did he go to Chang'an because he knew we were going to Chang'an?"
"Did you tell him we were going to Chang'an?" Tianpeng asked.
"No," Lin Mu shook his head, his face turned serious and said, "but I always feel... that monk seems to know a lot. And he kept saying that we are predestined people... that 'destined relationship' ’ Does it refer to us meeting him, or is there something specific?”
No one can answer this question.
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan and Tianpeng glanced at each other, and they all saw some doubts in each other's eyes.
——The journey of learning Buddhist scriptures has not even started yet, and little Chen Yi has not yet become a monk, so things unfolded in such a strange way.
"Go to sleep," Duan Xuan sighed, stretched out his hand to touch Lin Mu's head, his heart sank slightly, "No matter what, let's go to Huasheng Temple first, we really can't do anything now."
Lin Mu had no choice but to agree.
……
The next day, several people got up very early and went directly to Chang'an, and finally entered Chang'an after the city gate of Chang'an was closed.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the streets of Chang'an were very desolate, and everyone who could go home had already gone back.The four of them discussed it, and immediately decided to find a place to stay, and then go to Huasheng Temple tomorrow morning.
Silent all night.
Thanks to the traveling for the past few days, Lin Mu developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but what he didn't expect was that he was woken up today.
What happened?
Lin Mu sat up with hazy eyes, staring blankly at the window where the light had just emerged, always feeling that his memory was a bit fragmented.
knock knock knock.
Thinking of the regular knock on the door, Lin Mu's blank eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, but he didn't express anything.
The people outside the door seemed a little puzzled. After knocking twice again, Lin Mu finally woke up, and hurriedly said please come in.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Duan Xuan, who was already fully dressed, walked in from the door with a serious expression on his face.
"What happened?" Lin Mu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I just went out and asked about it. Today is the day when the new abbot of Huasheng Temple takes over." Duan Xuan said.
Lin Mu was taken aback, and blurted out, "Who is the new abbot?"
The author has something to say:
☆、【Fate】
Duan Xuan walked into the room, sat down at the table, and said, "It is said that the new abbot's dharma name is Qingxin."
"Qingxin?" Lin Mu pondered inwardly, and said, "Then shall we go to him later? The Huasheng Temple is holding a grand ceremony, so it might not be very convenient for us to entertain us?"
"That's what I said, but..." Duan Xuan frowned, and said, "Let's go and have a look, the whole city is invited to participate in this grand ceremony, it's not too much for us to go to watch the ceremony, and... it's okay See what kind of person this new abbot is."
As soon as Duan Xuan's words came out, Lin Mu heard his subtext, "Do you think there is something wrong with this abbot?"
"I can't say that," Duan Xuan said again, "But I also found out another thing that was both expected and unexpected. Guess what it is?"
Lin Mu thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Duan Xuan in surprise, and asked, "The new abbot just arrived in Chang'an for two days, and he just happened to be dressed in white, right?"
"The front is right, but the back is wrong." The corner of Duan Xuan's mouth hooked up, "It is true that the abbot has just been here for two days, but...he is wearing a black monk's robe."
"Black?!" Lin Mu was shocked, "There are still black monk robes? Is it the one that the monk in white wanted to give us?"
"I don't know," Duan Xuan shrugged and said, "So I think we should go and have a look. The appearance of this monk in white is really weird. In addition, we are going to learn Buddhist scriptures now. I think he must have the same We have some kind of relationship, maybe it’s one of our kalpas.”
"You're right, we really should take a look," Lin Mu nodded heavily, "Are Tianpeng and Chen Yi awake?"
"I'm awake, Chen Yi is still a little confused, the canopy is helping him wash and tidy up." Duan Xuandao, "Let's get up quickly, and go to Huasheng Temple after dinner. I heard that the new abbot of Huasheng Temple has a succession ceremony." After it's over, the new abbot will receive a few predestined people."
Duan Xuan accentuated the pronunciation of the word "destined person", and Lin Mu instantly understood what Duan Xuan wanted to say, so he nodded and was about to change his clothes.
But then came the problem.
"...Why don't you leave?" Lin Mu looked at Duan Xuan, who looked at him as a matter of course, feeling a little depressed.
"Why should I leave?" The surprise on Duan Xuan's face was not feigned, "It's not that I haven't seen you before, and everyone is a man, so why should I go back to my room to avoid it?"
"..." Lin Mu choked.
Indeed, he and Duan Xuan have bathed and washed together since they were young, what else hasn't been seen?In the past, the two never avoided each other when changing clothes, why now...
==Didn't that crazy guy kiss himself?
Lin Mu found the root of the problem.
But so what?Lin Mu couldn't say anything at all!
"...You can stay here if you want." Lin Mu picked up the clothes and turned his back to Duan Xuan, and said, "I changed clothes, what do you like to do?"
Duan Xuan chuckled, and really just sat there so calmly, poured himself a cup of overnight tea, didn't dislike anything, just looked at Lin Mu's bare back... even the goose skin on Lin Mu's back Pimples can be seen clearly.
It seems that he is really nervous... Duan Xuan thought in his heart, should he scare him again?If you scare again, can you scare something?
……
Here Duan Xuan was thinking about the next step in his mind, but Lin Mu was having a hard time getting dressed.
Not only did he have to try his best to ignore Duan Xuan's gaze, but he also had to try to make his movements as natural as possible... Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Duan Xuan to see his panic!
The two got dressed in such a tangled manner, and then went downstairs to meet Tianpeng and Chen Yi, and after a simple breakfast, they left the inn and walked towards Huasheng Temple along the flow of people.
"Why are you still carrying a bag?" Lin Mu looked at the small bag on Chen Yi's back with some surprise, and asked, "Is there anything important? The money your parents gave you?"
"No," Chen Yi said solemnly, "It's a package given to me by Master Guanyin. He said that there is a cassock inside, and he asked me to carry it with me at all times."
Lin Mu was a little stunned. He remembered that in the original book, Tang Seng did have a cassock that was especially attractive to thieves. "Is there anything else?" Lin Mu thought for a while, and added, "I mean, Master Guanyin gave you something else. Is it? Like a Zen stick... a golden hoop or something?"
"No." Chen Yi shook his head and said, "He only said that this cassock should not be taken away easily."
"Okay." Lin Mu was a little relieved, and simply responded without saying a word.
Although in the original book, Avalokitesvara gave Tang Seng a Zen stick... But Avalokitesvara in this world has obviously collapsed to the point where it cannot be speculated with common sense.And he remembered that in the original book, Sun Wukong was put on a golden hoop because he left, so if he didn't leave, maybe he could escape that ugly hair ornament?
Lin Mu secretly made up his mind, it really won't work...
"Huh?" Duan Xuan turned to look at Lin Mu, and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
"It's nothing." Lin Mu patted Duan Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Little friend, I'm optimistic about you~"
Duan Xuan: "...???"
……
The place where they lived in Huasheng Temple was not far away, and it took only a stick of incense to walk, and the four of them arrived there.At this time, the succession ceremony of the new abbot was over, and many people either went in to worship Buddha and burn incense, or asked for lottery and divination. Obviously, they regarded this place as a small event.
"There are too many people?" Lin Mu looked at the long dragon in front of him, and couldn't help but said to Duan Xuan, "We are almost catching up with the Great Wall!"
"You mean the one built by Qin Shihuang?" Chen Yi, who was lying on the back of the canopy because he was tired, turned to look at Lin Mu, "Why do you use this metaphor? Isn't it desolate there, with no one at all?"
"...Don't interrupt children when adults talk." Lin Mu couldn't answer Chen Yi's question, so he had to use this invincible sentence to prevaricate.
Chen Yi was very dissatisfied with this answer, snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "Uneducated earth monkey."
Lin Mu: "..."
"Amu, he's just a child, don't make any noise..." Duan Xuan hurriedly comforted Lin Mu, and just as he was about to say something, two little novice monks came out of the corner of his eyes, and he was taken aback for a moment.
The two young novice monks obviously saw them too, and walked towards them quickly. One of them, a handsome novice who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, saluted them and asked excitedly: "Several benefactors, may I ask?" Are they together?"
"Yes," Duan Xuan turned sideways slightly, facing the two young novice monks, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Ah, that's how it is. We are from Huasheng Temple, and we came here in the name of the abbot to find someone who is destined." The little monk who spoke just now continued to explain, "Are you interested in chatting with our abbot?"
"Why did you come to us?" Canopy frowned and asked, "How did he know we would come?"
If the new abbot is really the monk in white, then he should always be one step ahead of them, and it is impossible to find out their whereabouts.
"This one……"
The two young monks looked at each other, and the one who hadn't spoken said, "We don't know why our abbot knew you would come, but the abbot said, let's take a look around, if there are three men with you If it is a boy, it is a predestined person, the two of us have been shopping for a long time, and a few of them are the only ones who fit the abbot’s description, so I think you are really destined to be with our abbot, right?”
"Really? That's quite an honor!" Lin Mu laughed, and then turned his head to wink at Duan Xuan and Tianpeng. The two were silent for a second, then nodded at the same time. Lin Mu After receiving the response, he said to the two young novice monks, "Since we are predestined people, we must meet each other. Let the two masters guide us."
The two novice monks found someone and completed the task of the abbot. They were naturally happy and happily introduced Lin Mu and the others to the environment of Huasheng Temple and the actions of the new abbot.
Several people also listened carefully, followed the two monks, and after a while, they came to a quiet place.
"This is it," the two young novice monks stopped, bowed to Lin Mu and the others, and said, "The abbot is in the bamboo house in front, you four go in by yourself, the abbot said he would entertain some of you personally."
"Thanks for your hard work." Duan Xuan also saluted the two of them.
After the two young monks left, the four looked at the bamboo building seriously.
The environment here is very quiet and elegant, very suitable for seclusion.A small bamboo building stands there, surrounded by unknown flowers and plants, but it is also beautiful.
Lin Mu and the others were thinking about it when they heard a voice from the room, saying, "Since you are here, why don't you come in?"
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan and Tianpeng looked at each other, and just about to say something, Chen Yi said crisply: "Since you invited us here, why didn't you come out?"
The other three were startled, but suddenly realized that Chen Yi was right, so they stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the man to come out.
The people in the room were not hypocritical, they laughed a few times when they heard that the speaker was a child, and really walked out.
When Lin Mu and Duan Xuan saw that person, their hearts skipped a beat.
——Sure enough, it was the monk in white.
But what he is wearing now is not white clothes, but a decent cassock, coupled with his benevolent look, he does look a bit like an eminent monk, but...
How on earth did this person get into the position of abbot?
Where did the original abbot go?
Most importantly... what is this man trying to do to them?
……
"You don't need to be nervous," the white-clothed monk said with a pure smile, "I don't mean any ill intentions, I just want to meet someone with predestined relationship."
Lin Mu felt that what he had said was the same as if he hadn't said it, so he also asked with a smile: "Then how are we destined?"
Qingxin smiled and said: "There are so many people coming and going in this world but they don't know each other, but we can overcome these encounters, isn't it fate?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu didn't feel anything at first, but after a few seconds of silent reaction, he was shocked——
What does it mean to cross these?
Does this Qingxin know something? !
The author has something to say:
☆、【Shave degree】
Qingxin obviously saw the alertness on Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's faces, but he didn't seem to care, but shifted his gaze to Chen Yi, and smiled, "What's your name?"
"Chen Yi."
"What are you here for?"
"Leaving home."
"I'll be your master, okay?"
Chen Yi tilted his head to look at Qingxin, remained silent for a while, and said decisively: "Okay."
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan, Tianpeng: "..."
"Hey, kid, do you know who he is?" Lin Mu couldn't help pulling Chen Yi's fleshy cheeks, as if trying to wake him up.
"Of course I know," Chen Yi rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and rescued his cheek, and said, "Isn't he the abbot of Huasheng Temple?"
Lin Mu was a little tangled, and said, "That's true, but..."
"Since I came here to become a monk, then someone is willing to accept me as an apprentice, why should I not agree?" Chen Yi asked back.
"..." Lin Mu choked even more.
"Forget it," Duan Xuan pressed Lin Mu's shoulder, looked at Qingxin with both eyes, and said softly, "Chen Yi is right, since our purpose of coming here is about to be achieved, why should we pay attention to these things? Besides... there are some things You can't hide from it."
Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Tang Seng is bound to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties. Even if they know that there is a problem with their pure heart, they can't avoid it. Even if they escape by luck, there will definitely be another difficulty waiting for them later.Didn't you read that in the original book, Tang Seng didn't have 81 difficulties at the end, and he was thrown into the water by the big turtle?
Thinking of this, Lin Mu didn't intend to stop Chen Yi anymore. Anyway, if there was trouble, there would be gods and Buddhas all over the sky to stand up to him. What was he afraid of?
"Have you figured it out?" Duan Xuan's joking voice sounded in Lin Mu's ears again. Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then Duan Xuan continued, "There are still some things... you can't escape."
Lin Mu's mind instantly flashed the image of Duan Xuan leaning on him and kissing him in the woods.To be honest, that was really the first time Lin Mu saw that kind of expression on Duan Xuan's face, but...
What the fuck does that mean? !
Lin Mu's face is covered with blood now.
It was just decided that in the future, he will be forced by him, and he will blow the hills with a breeze, but now Duan Xuan has released such a big move, it is shameless!
No wonder Duan Xuan also came after I came here. Yuelao III's love affair is a lie, the real reason is that he himself is too perverted to survive in the world of normal people!
Duan Xuan just smiled and looked at Lin Mu who was grinding his teeth, but in the next second, Lin Mu grabbed Duan Xuan's hand suddenly and bit on Duan Xuan's arm.Duan Xuan was bitten violently, and Lin Mu didn't show mercy at all, so he frowned in pain, but didn't make a sound.
When Lin Mu had bitten enough, he naturally put down Duan Xuan's arm, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "Is it a monk? Let's leave, what are we doing now?"
Duan Xuan saw that Lin Mu was obviously in a better mood, so he smiled lightly and said nothing.
Qingxin's eyes swept over the tooth marks on Duan Xuan's arm, paused for a second, then looked away naturally.
……
The next thing is more complicated, but very simple.
Because Lin Mu and the others are not busy, the only thing they need to do is to accompany Chen Yi to watch the monks in Huasheng Temple busy.
Originally, today was the succession ceremony of the new abbot, but just a few hours after the ceremony, the new abbot announced that he was going to accept apprentices and asked them to prepare for the shaving ceremony.
What is this for!All the monks shouted in their hearts, just finished their work, and all the things have been used!Where can I get the shaving ceremony of the abbot's apprentice?You can't let people who come to pilgrimage visit while shaving your body, right? !
Since the decision of the new abbot was too incompetent, after he spoke, all the monks did not move, and hesitated for a long time. Among them, one who seemed to have the highest status was pushed out—really pushing Ah - speak.
"Fang... Abbot, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to prepare for the shaving ceremony today." The monk who was pushed out said with a troubled face, "And... and it's not yet the time for the temple to accept disciples, isn't it a little... ...uh, not quite in line with the rules?"
"Oh? What is the rule? Could it be that two people who are destined to meet each other have to wait until the day when the rules are set before accepting disciples?" Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Lin Mu and his party, and said, "It is indeed I didn't think carefully, it's really inappropriate for the people in the temple to be mixed today, why don't you guys stay in the temple for a day and salute tomorrow?"
Lin Mu and the others didn't care, but looked at the frowning monks with some sympathy.
——I always feel that they want to know more about the predestined relationship method than we do.
……
Silent all night.
Because the environment of Huasheng Temple is naturally not better than that of the inn, but in order not to have to get up so early the next morning, Tianpeng went back to the inn, returned their room, and brought their things back.
This night, the two share a room again.
Although Qingxin said that Chen Yi would be his apprentice tomorrow, they wanted to chat more tonight, or let Chen Yi sleep with him and forget it.But Lin Mu and the others were still worried, and after a few pushbacks, they brought the shirt back.
But Chen Yi didn't seem to be very interested. As soon as he returned to the room, Chen Yi untied the package he had been carrying, revealing the colorful cassock inside.
"Is this what Master Guanyin gave you?" Lin Mu reached out to pick up the cassock and touched it, feeling like he was touching the shroud of Jesus, and sighed, "The material is not bad."
"Naturally," Canopy glanced at it, and said, "This is the craftsmanship of the Buddhist world, so it is naturally extraordinary."
Lin Mu clicked his tongue twice, and just about to speak, he heard Duan Xuan beat him and asked Chen Yi, "Are you unhappy?"
Chen Yi's face darkened, as if he didn't want Duan Xuan to know about it, but the word "unhappy" was clearly written on his own face, making it impossible for anyone to ignore it.
"You don't like it."
This time Duan Xuan used an affirmative sentence, and even Lin Mu noticed that something was wrong with Chen Yi, put down the cassock in his hand, sat next to Chen Yi, pressed his hand on his head, and said, "You Really unhappy? Why? Homesick? Don’t want to become a monk?”
After all, Chen Yi is only an 11-year-old child, and it is not surprising that such a situation will happen at this moment—to be honest, if Chen Yi accepts that he will become a little monk in the future, Lin Mu et al were surprised.
"No." Unexpectedly, Chen Yi shook his head decisively and said, "This is my task, and I will complete it."
"Mission?" Canopy frowned and asked, "What mission?"
"I can't tell you." Chen Yi shook his head and said.
"..."
The other three were speechless for a while, looking at each other, as if they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Lin Mu finally found the words, patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, and reluctantly said: "Don't think too much, we have me, Ah Xuan, and a canopy marshal. I guess there will be more in the future." There may be one person... In short, don't be too stressed. With our lineup, no matter where you go, you have to be courteous. When you finish reading the scriptures, you can become a Buddha if you want to. If you don't want to become a Buddha, you can return to vulgarity, no one is stopping you."
Chen Yi was touched for a moment, he glanced at Lin Mu in surprise, but saw that his eyes were involuntarily looking at Duan Xuan, he immediately rolled his eyes, knocked Lin Mu's hand off his shoulder, Disgusted, "If you don't want to become a Buddha, you can follow you, it has nothing to do with me."
"Oh, of course it doesn't matter,
He was doubting—whether Duan Xuan's words last night were a confession?
If so, how should he respond?
If not, why would Duan Xuan do such things and say such things?
Lin Mu woke up in the midst of such questions, and barely fell asleep until dawn.
……
But Lin Mu didn't sleep for a long time before waking up - inexplicably, he felt that someone was staring at him.
Lin Mu opened his eyes dimly, and what he saw was a delicate collarbone.
……
Lin Mu was really a little confused, he stared blankly at the collarbone in front of him, the memory of last night slowly came back, and then...
What the hell!
Lin Mu shuddered and sat up abruptly, only to find that his posture was a bit strange——
One of his legs was loosely placed on Duan Xuan's waist, and his arms were wrapped around Duan Xuan's waist, holding Duan Xuan's whole body in his arms. This posture...was very ambiguous!
But the most damning thing is that Duan Xuan is obviously the one who should be suspected, but now it is him, Lin Mu, who hugs him and turns himself into the active one...
How did this plot go? !
Lin Mu's movement was a little big, and Duan Xuan felt like waking up from his movement. Lin Mu was so frightened that he quickly moved all parts of his body away from Duan Xuan's body, rolling and crawling to get up.
But just as he was about to get up, he suddenly saw Chen Yi squatting beside him expressionlessly looking at him with a small face.
"..."
Lin Mu was almost scared to death by Chen Yi!But even for the sake of face, he couldn't show it, he could only ask calmly, "What's the matter?"
Chen Yi nodded and said, "You got up late."
Lin Mu: "..." Why are you squatting here and staring at me with such a crap?
"So you don't have breakfast." Chen Yi continued.
"...Understood." Lin Mu said weakly.
After such a short time, he felt that Duan Xuan behind him had gotten up, so he quickly stood up and went to wash in the woods. When Duan Xuan also walked over, Lin Mu hurriedly settled himself, and then left in a hurry. Just glanced at Duan Xuan, and saw that the dark circles under Duan Xuan's eyes were very serious, and when he saw himself, he simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
Lin Mu felt a strange feeling in his heart, as if...
Neglected?
Lin Mu scratched his head, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and walked towards the open space last night.
After several people packed up, they drove the donkey on the road.
It takes about half a month to walk from here to Huasheng Temple, but none of Lin Mu and the others took it to heart. After all, Chen Yi and Tianpeng didn't know about the 81 difficulty, and Lin Mu and Duan Xuan felt that Chen Yi has not yet become a monk, and it is even more unlikely that he will encounter any monsters.
So the state of several people is very relaxed.
But when the next day was about to pass peacefully, something unexpected happened suddenly.
……
"What is that black thing in front?" Lin Mu tilted his head and looked at the thing that fell on the ground in front of him, a little puzzled, "It looks like a cloth bag?"
After all, Chen Yi was a child at heart, so he said, "Go and have a look?"
"I'll go," Duan Xuandao, "Top, stay and protect Chen Yi and Amu."
"...I don't need protection," Lin Mu felt that his masculinity had been challenged, and said blackly, "I'll go with you, I'm also curious about what that thing is."
Duan Xuan frowned, but didn't say anything, and walked towards the black mass together with Lin Mu.
……
"It looks like a living thing?" Lin Mu guessed, "Look, it's still moving."
The black cloth ball kept undulating like someone was fighting.
"Well, it should be a person," Duan Xuan said, "This is the fabric of the clothes."
"But this person is too big, right?" Lin Mu was surprised, "This fabric is enough for two people."
Before Lin Mu finished speaking, he saw the cloth ball was lifted abruptly, revealing a man in white.
The author has something to say: When writing about delicate clavicles...my mind is full of ribs...when I named this chapter, I especially wanted to use ribs...(?﹃?)
☆、【Monk】
The man in white was hairless on the top of his head, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, clasped his hands, and sat cross-legged on the ground like that, as if he had been sitting here quietly since the very beginning.
Lin Mu looked at the man in white, then at Duan Xuan, and couldn't help but ask, "...a juggler?"
Duan Xuan: "..."
"Let's go," Lin Mu recalled the time when he went out to eat in college in his previous life and met a monk who came in for alms, and said, "Or he will come over to ask for money later."
"..." Duan Xuan couldn't help but patted Lin Mu's head, "Quiet."
Lin Mu hesitated to speak, but before he could figure out what to say, the monk in white laughed lightly, opened his eyes, and looked at himself.
The monk's eyes were dark but full of brilliance, as if he could see through people at a glance.
"Benefactor, the poor monk is not a juggler," said the monk in white, "The poor monk is only here to help someone with a predestined relationship."
The monk in white had a nice voice, low and crisp.
but……
"Can you understand what he is saying?" Lin Mu asked Duan Xuan.
Duan Xuan shook his head silently, and said, "I don't know what he's talking about, but I know his mana is profound."
"How do you know?" Lin Mu asked strangely.
"I can't see his cultivation level," Duan Xuan whispered next to Lin Mu's ear, "but there must be a reason for him to appear here inexplicably."
Lin Mu was taken aback, he knew from Duan Xuan's tone that Duan Xuan was not joking, he was really worried, so he couldn't help becoming a little serious.
"That... may I ask, master, who are you saving here?" Lin Mu also imitated the way in the TV series and bowed to the monk in white, asking.
"People with predestined relationship." The monk in white said the same thing.
"...Can you give me an example?" Lin Mu couldn't help asking, "There are only you and the five of us here. Who is the predestined person?"
The monk in white smiled lightly and said, "Aren't you the only ones here?"
Lin Mu was stunned, then smiled and said, "Monks don't lie, does your master know that you lie like this?"
"Oh?" The monk in white didn't change at all, and smiled, "Why do you think I'm lying?"
"Because you obviously didn't realize we were coming," Lin Mu put his chin on his hand, and cosplayed Detective Conan, "What were you doing in this black cloth when we came? If you come To transform us, you wouldn't use that way of appearance, would you?"
Lin Mu's words were still reasonable, and the white-clothed monk chuckled again, and said proactively: "You are right, but I am not lying, I am indeed here to save destined people, and you are indeed destined people."
Lin Mu frowned, he always felt that the monk in white was playing word games with them.
"I'm leaving." The monk in white said suddenly.
Both Lin Mu and Duan Xuan were taken aback.
The monk in white didn't seem to notice Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's stupefaction, and stood up, holding a string of Buddhist beads in one hand, and picked up the black cloth on the ground with the other hand.
"Amitabha," the monk in white uttered the Buddha's name, handed over the piece of black cloth, and said, "Since the benefactors are predestined, please take this black cloth away."
Lin Mu took a closer look at the black cloth. After studying for a long time, he realized that it was a large coat and it was black, so he thought it was an ordinary black cloth at first glance.
"What is this?" Duan Xuan asked.
"It's just a piece of clothing." The white-clothed monk smiled and comforted Lin Mu and Duan Xuan very gently, "I met you here because of fate. This piece of clothing has experienced many things. Following you, maybe there will be One day we will see the light of day."
Both Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's faces were terrified.
What the monk in white said was too easy to mislead.
What does it mean that this dress has "been through a lot"?Even if you open your mind and think that the monk in white means that the owner of this dress has experienced a lot in wearing it, what does "seeing the sun again" mean?Now the blue sky and white day are wearing black robes and staying here, isn't it seeing the light of day?
"You don't want it?" The monk in white asked, looking at the expressions of Lin Mu and Duan Xuan.
"...Master, you see, no one here can wear this dress, why don't you take it away yourself?" Lin Mu said with some hesitation.
The monk in white sighed softly and said, "Is this God's will?"
After finishing speaking, the monk in white raised his hand, put the black robe on his shoulders, clasped his hands together and bowed to Lin Mu's Duan Xuan, and said, "Since God's will, the poor monk will not shirk, benefactors, you are all Destined person, we will see you later."
Lin Mu was taken aback, but before he could say anything, he saw that the monk in white had turned around and left. After walking for three minutes, his body began to slowly become transparent, and within a few blinks, he disappeared into the forest.
"...What's going on here?" Lin Mu turned his head and glanced at Duan Xuan, with various question marks on his head.
"I don't know," Duan Xuan frowned, with a look of worry on his face, "No matter what, it's best to get out of here quickly."
Immediately, the two turned around and walked in the direction of Tianpeng and Chen Yi. After briefly talking to them about the monk in white, Tianpeng also came to the same conclusion as Duan Xuan, and they stopped talking. I didn't even skip lunch, and I was on my way nervously all day, and I rushed to the next town before the sun went down.
Because they rushed to the town, the group didn't need to sleep in the open, and spent the money brought by Chen Yi's family to open four rooms, each sleeping in its own room.
Such a result made Lin Mu feel a little relieved. He didn't know how to face Duan Xuan, so he simply didn't face it.Anyway, if Duan Xuan has his eyes on him, then Duan Xuan will come to him for a showdown sooner or later. If he feels wrong, Duan Xuan has no other meaning to him at all, so it is not good if he is too entangled in this matter, so Just procrastinate like this, sooner or later the truth will be revealed.
……
In the days that followed, the four of them hurried on their way as quickly as possible. Although they never met the white-clothed monk again, it was miraculous that they would sometimes hear stories about a white-clothed monk helping to cast down demons in the town. They were slightly taken aback.
"Didn't the monk disappear out of thin air?" Lin Mu asked in surprise, "Why does he seem to be traveling? And why do we always meet him? His route is the same as ours?"
Duan Xuan was also silent, and directly took out the map prepared by the Chen family for Chen Yi and looked at it. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I can't see it. According to his route, he has maps in every city. Maybe go to another place, and we are too far away from Chang'an now, so we can't see his purpose at all."
Canopy nodded and said, "Or he has no purpose at all, just to travel around."
"Okay." Lin Mu scratched his head and said, "Let's go as soon as possible. I always feel that although the monk looks very harmonious, he feels strange no matter how he thinks about it."
……
The few people couldn't prove anything, so they could only follow Lin Mu's idea and hurry on their way as soon as possible.
But the miraculous thing didn't end there. They could still hear about the white-clothed monk every time they went to a town.They also thought about going to see the white-clothed monk again, but these things seemed to have been calculated. The white-clothed monk always left the day before they arrived in the town, which was not accurate.
In this way, in order to catch up with the monk in white, they wanted to go as soon as possible, and abruptly shortened the original travel time by half.
When they arrived in Chang'an in one day, the four of them had another small meeting at night.
The map was taken out again and placed on the table. Lin Mu looked at the map, pointed to their location, and said, "His purpose may indeed be the same as ours."
"Indeed," Lin Mu said, "If you go from here, you can only go to Chang'an. But the question is, did he simply want to go to Chang'an, or did he go to Chang'an because he knew we were going to Chang'an?"
"Did you tell him we were going to Chang'an?" Tianpeng asked.
"No," Lin Mu shook his head, his face turned serious and said, "but I always feel... that monk seems to know a lot. And he kept saying that we are predestined people... that 'destined relationship' ’ Does it refer to us meeting him, or is there something specific?”
No one can answer this question.
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan and Tianpeng glanced at each other, and they all saw some doubts in each other's eyes.
——The journey of learning Buddhist scriptures has not even started yet, and little Chen Yi has not yet become a monk, so things unfolded in such a strange way.
"Go to sleep," Duan Xuan sighed, stretched out his hand to touch Lin Mu's head, his heart sank slightly, "No matter what, let's go to Huasheng Temple first, we really can't do anything now."
Lin Mu had no choice but to agree.
……
The next day, several people got up very early and went directly to Chang'an, and finally entered Chang'an after the city gate of Chang'an was closed.
At this time, the sun had already set, and the streets of Chang'an were very desolate, and everyone who could go home had already gone back.The four of them discussed it, and immediately decided to find a place to stay, and then go to Huasheng Temple tomorrow morning.
Silent all night.
Thanks to the traveling for the past few days, Lin Mu developed the habit of going to bed early and getting up early, but what he didn't expect was that he was woken up today.
What happened?
Lin Mu sat up with hazy eyes, staring blankly at the window where the light had just emerged, always feeling that his memory was a bit fragmented.
knock knock knock.
Thinking of the regular knock on the door, Lin Mu's blank eyes subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, but he didn't express anything.
The people outside the door seemed a little puzzled. After knocking twice again, Lin Mu finally woke up, and hurriedly said please come in.
The door was pushed open from the outside, and Duan Xuan, who was already fully dressed, walked in from the door with a serious expression on his face.
"What happened?" Lin Mu suddenly had a bad premonition.
"I just went out and asked about it. Today is the day when the new abbot of Huasheng Temple takes over." Duan Xuan said.
Lin Mu was taken aback, and blurted out, "Who is the new abbot?"
The author has something to say:
☆、【Fate】
Duan Xuan walked into the room, sat down at the table, and said, "It is said that the new abbot's dharma name is Qingxin."
"Qingxin?" Lin Mu pondered inwardly, and said, "Then shall we go to him later? The Huasheng Temple is holding a grand ceremony, so it might not be very convenient for us to entertain us?"
"That's what I said, but..." Duan Xuan frowned, and said, "Let's go and have a look, the whole city is invited to participate in this grand ceremony, it's not too much for us to go to watch the ceremony, and... it's okay See what kind of person this new abbot is."
As soon as Duan Xuan's words came out, Lin Mu heard his subtext, "Do you think there is something wrong with this abbot?"
"I can't say that," Duan Xuan said again, "But I also found out another thing that was both expected and unexpected. Guess what it is?"
Lin Mu thought for a while, then suddenly looked at Duan Xuan in surprise, and asked, "The new abbot just arrived in Chang'an for two days, and he just happened to be dressed in white, right?"
"The front is right, but the back is wrong." The corner of Duan Xuan's mouth hooked up, "It is true that the abbot has just been here for two days, but...he is wearing a black monk's robe."
"Black?!" Lin Mu was shocked, "There are still black monk robes? Is it the one that the monk in white wanted to give us?"
"I don't know," Duan Xuan shrugged and said, "So I think we should go and have a look. The appearance of this monk in white is really weird. In addition, we are going to learn Buddhist scriptures now. I think he must have the same We have some kind of relationship, maybe it’s one of our kalpas.”
"You're right, we really should take a look," Lin Mu nodded heavily, "Are Tianpeng and Chen Yi awake?"
"I'm awake, Chen Yi is still a little confused, the canopy is helping him wash and tidy up." Duan Xuandao, "Let's get up quickly, and go to Huasheng Temple after dinner. I heard that the new abbot of Huasheng Temple has a succession ceremony." After it's over, the new abbot will receive a few predestined people."
Duan Xuan accentuated the pronunciation of the word "destined person", and Lin Mu instantly understood what Duan Xuan wanted to say, so he nodded and was about to change his clothes.
But then came the problem.
"...Why don't you leave?" Lin Mu looked at Duan Xuan, who looked at him as a matter of course, feeling a little depressed.
"Why should I leave?" The surprise on Duan Xuan's face was not feigned, "It's not that I haven't seen you before, and everyone is a man, so why should I go back to my room to avoid it?"
"..." Lin Mu choked.
Indeed, he and Duan Xuan have bathed and washed together since they were young, what else hasn't been seen?In the past, the two never avoided each other when changing clothes, why now...
==Didn't that crazy guy kiss himself?
Lin Mu found the root of the problem.
But so what?Lin Mu couldn't say anything at all!
"...You can stay here if you want." Lin Mu picked up the clothes and turned his back to Duan Xuan, and said, "I changed clothes, what do you like to do?"
Duan Xuan chuckled, and really just sat there so calmly, poured himself a cup of overnight tea, didn't dislike anything, just looked at Lin Mu's bare back... even the goose skin on Lin Mu's back Pimples can be seen clearly.
It seems that he is really nervous... Duan Xuan thought in his heart, should he scare him again?If you scare again, can you scare something?
……
Here Duan Xuan was thinking about the next step in his mind, but Lin Mu was having a hard time getting dressed.
Not only did he have to try his best to ignore Duan Xuan's gaze, but he also had to try to make his movements as natural as possible... Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for Duan Xuan to see his panic!
The two got dressed in such a tangled manner, and then went downstairs to meet Tianpeng and Chen Yi, and after a simple breakfast, they left the inn and walked towards Huasheng Temple along the flow of people.
"Why are you still carrying a bag?" Lin Mu looked at the small bag on Chen Yi's back with some surprise, and asked, "Is there anything important? The money your parents gave you?"
"No," Chen Yi said solemnly, "It's a package given to me by Master Guanyin. He said that there is a cassock inside, and he asked me to carry it with me at all times."
Lin Mu was a little stunned. He remembered that in the original book, Tang Seng did have a cassock that was especially attractive to thieves. "Is there anything else?" Lin Mu thought for a while, and added, "I mean, Master Guanyin gave you something else. Is it? Like a Zen stick... a golden hoop or something?"
"No." Chen Yi shook his head and said, "He only said that this cassock should not be taken away easily."
"Okay." Lin Mu was a little relieved, and simply responded without saying a word.
Although in the original book, Avalokitesvara gave Tang Seng a Zen stick... But Avalokitesvara in this world has obviously collapsed to the point where it cannot be speculated with common sense.And he remembered that in the original book, Sun Wukong was put on a golden hoop because he left, so if he didn't leave, maybe he could escape that ugly hair ornament?
Lin Mu secretly made up his mind, it really won't work...
"Huh?" Duan Xuan turned to look at Lin Mu, and said, "Why are you staring at me?"
"It's nothing." Lin Mu patted Duan Xuan on the shoulder and said, "Little friend, I'm optimistic about you~"
Duan Xuan: "...???"
……
The place where they lived in Huasheng Temple was not far away, and it took only a stick of incense to walk, and the four of them arrived there.At this time, the succession ceremony of the new abbot was over, and many people either went in to worship Buddha and burn incense, or asked for lottery and divination. Obviously, they regarded this place as a small event.
"There are too many people?" Lin Mu looked at the long dragon in front of him, and couldn't help but said to Duan Xuan, "We are almost catching up with the Great Wall!"
"You mean the one built by Qin Shihuang?" Chen Yi, who was lying on the back of the canopy because he was tired, turned to look at Lin Mu, "Why do you use this metaphor? Isn't it desolate there, with no one at all?"
"...Don't interrupt children when adults talk." Lin Mu couldn't answer Chen Yi's question, so he had to use this invincible sentence to prevaricate.
Chen Yi was very dissatisfied with this answer, snorted coldly, and said contemptuously: "Uneducated earth monkey."
Lin Mu: "..."
"Amu, he's just a child, don't make any noise..." Duan Xuan hurriedly comforted Lin Mu, and just as he was about to say something, two little novice monks came out of the corner of his eyes, and he was taken aback for a moment.
The two young novice monks obviously saw them too, and walked towards them quickly. One of them, a handsome novice who looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, saluted them and asked excitedly: "Several benefactors, may I ask?" Are they together?"
"Yes," Duan Xuan turned sideways slightly, facing the two young novice monks, and said coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
"Ah, that's how it is. We are from Huasheng Temple, and we came here in the name of the abbot to find someone who is destined." The little monk who spoke just now continued to explain, "Are you interested in chatting with our abbot?"
"Why did you come to us?" Canopy frowned and asked, "How did he know we would come?"
If the new abbot is really the monk in white, then he should always be one step ahead of them, and it is impossible to find out their whereabouts.
"This one……"
The two young monks looked at each other, and the one who hadn't spoken said, "We don't know why our abbot knew you would come, but the abbot said, let's take a look around, if there are three men with you If it is a boy, it is a predestined person, the two of us have been shopping for a long time, and a few of them are the only ones who fit the abbot’s description, so I think you are really destined to be with our abbot, right?”
"Really? That's quite an honor!" Lin Mu laughed, and then turned his head to wink at Duan Xuan and Tianpeng. The two were silent for a second, then nodded at the same time. Lin Mu After receiving the response, he said to the two young novice monks, "Since we are predestined people, we must meet each other. Let the two masters guide us."
The two novice monks found someone and completed the task of the abbot. They were naturally happy and happily introduced Lin Mu and the others to the environment of Huasheng Temple and the actions of the new abbot.
Several people also listened carefully, followed the two monks, and after a while, they came to a quiet place.
"This is it," the two young novice monks stopped, bowed to Lin Mu and the others, and said, "The abbot is in the bamboo house in front, you four go in by yourself, the abbot said he would entertain some of you personally."
"Thanks for your hard work." Duan Xuan also saluted the two of them.
After the two young monks left, the four looked at the bamboo building seriously.
The environment here is very quiet and elegant, very suitable for seclusion.A small bamboo building stands there, surrounded by unknown flowers and plants, but it is also beautiful.
Lin Mu and the others were thinking about it when they heard a voice from the room, saying, "Since you are here, why don't you come in?"
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan and Tianpeng looked at each other, and just about to say something, Chen Yi said crisply: "Since you invited us here, why didn't you come out?"
The other three were startled, but suddenly realized that Chen Yi was right, so they stood quietly outside the door, waiting for the man to come out.
The people in the room were not hypocritical, they laughed a few times when they heard that the speaker was a child, and really walked out.
When Lin Mu and Duan Xuan saw that person, their hearts skipped a beat.
——Sure enough, it was the monk in white.
But what he is wearing now is not white clothes, but a decent cassock, coupled with his benevolent look, he does look a bit like an eminent monk, but...
How on earth did this person get into the position of abbot?
Where did the original abbot go?
Most importantly... what is this man trying to do to them?
……
"You don't need to be nervous," the white-clothed monk said with a pure smile, "I don't mean any ill intentions, I just want to meet someone with predestined relationship."
Lin Mu felt that what he had said was the same as if he hadn't said it, so he also asked with a smile: "Then how are we destined?"
Qingxin smiled and said: "There are so many people coming and going in this world but they don't know each other, but we can overcome these encounters, isn't it fate?"
Hearing this, Lin Mu didn't feel anything at first, but after a few seconds of silent reaction, he was shocked——
What does it mean to cross these?
Does this Qingxin know something? !
The author has something to say:
☆、【Shave degree】
Qingxin obviously saw the alertness on Lin Mu and Duan Xuan's faces, but he didn't seem to care, but shifted his gaze to Chen Yi, and smiled, "What's your name?"
"Chen Yi."
"What are you here for?"
"Leaving home."
"I'll be your master, okay?"
Chen Yi tilted his head to look at Qingxin, remained silent for a while, and said decisively: "Okay."
Lin Mu, Duan Xuan, Tianpeng: "..."
"Hey, kid, do you know who he is?" Lin Mu couldn't help pulling Chen Yi's fleshy cheeks, as if trying to wake him up.
"Of course I know," Chen Yi rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and rescued his cheek, and said, "Isn't he the abbot of Huasheng Temple?"
Lin Mu was a little tangled, and said, "That's true, but..."
"Since I came here to become a monk, then someone is willing to accept me as an apprentice, why should I not agree?" Chen Yi asked back.
"..." Lin Mu choked even more.
"Forget it," Duan Xuan pressed Lin Mu's shoulder, looked at Qingxin with both eyes, and said softly, "Chen Yi is right, since our purpose of coming here is about to be achieved, why should we pay attention to these things? Besides... there are some things You can't hide from it."
Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized.
Tang Seng is bound to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties. Even if they know that there is a problem with their pure heart, they can't avoid it. Even if they escape by luck, there will definitely be another difficulty waiting for them later.Didn't you read that in the original book, Tang Seng didn't have 81 difficulties at the end, and he was thrown into the water by the big turtle?
Thinking of this, Lin Mu didn't intend to stop Chen Yi anymore. Anyway, if there was trouble, there would be gods and Buddhas all over the sky to stand up to him. What was he afraid of?
"Have you figured it out?" Duan Xuan's joking voice sounded in Lin Mu's ears again. Lin Mu was taken aback for a moment, and then Duan Xuan continued, "There are still some things... you can't escape."
Lin Mu's mind instantly flashed the image of Duan Xuan leaning on him and kissing him in the woods.To be honest, that was really the first time Lin Mu saw that kind of expression on Duan Xuan's face, but...
What the fuck does that mean? !
Lin Mu's face is covered with blood now.
It was just decided that in the future, he will be forced by him, and he will blow the hills with a breeze, but now Duan Xuan has released such a big move, it is shameless!
No wonder Duan Xuan also came after I came here. Yuelao III's love affair is a lie, the real reason is that he himself is too perverted to survive in the world of normal people!
Duan Xuan just smiled and looked at Lin Mu who was grinding his teeth, but in the next second, Lin Mu grabbed Duan Xuan's hand suddenly and bit on Duan Xuan's arm.Duan Xuan was bitten violently, and Lin Mu didn't show mercy at all, so he frowned in pain, but didn't make a sound.
When Lin Mu had bitten enough, he naturally put down Duan Xuan's arm, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "Is it a monk? Let's leave, what are we doing now?"
Duan Xuan saw that Lin Mu was obviously in a better mood, so he smiled lightly and said nothing.
Qingxin's eyes swept over the tooth marks on Duan Xuan's arm, paused for a second, then looked away naturally.
……
The next thing is more complicated, but very simple.
Because Lin Mu and the others are not busy, the only thing they need to do is to accompany Chen Yi to watch the monks in Huasheng Temple busy.
Originally, today was the succession ceremony of the new abbot, but just a few hours after the ceremony, the new abbot announced that he was going to accept apprentices and asked them to prepare for the shaving ceremony.
What is this for!All the monks shouted in their hearts, just finished their work, and all the things have been used!Where can I get the shaving ceremony of the abbot's apprentice?You can't let people who come to pilgrimage visit while shaving your body, right? !
Since the decision of the new abbot was too incompetent, after he spoke, all the monks did not move, and hesitated for a long time. Among them, one who seemed to have the highest status was pushed out—really pushing Ah - speak.
"Fang... Abbot, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to prepare for the shaving ceremony today." The monk who was pushed out said with a troubled face, "And... and it's not yet the time for the temple to accept disciples, isn't it a little... ...uh, not quite in line with the rules?"
"Oh? What is the rule? Could it be that two people who are destined to meet each other have to wait until the day when the rules are set before accepting disciples?" Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, then turned to look at Lin Mu and his party, and said, "It is indeed I didn't think carefully, it's really inappropriate for the people in the temple to be mixed today, why don't you guys stay in the temple for a day and salute tomorrow?"
Lin Mu and the others didn't care, but looked at the frowning monks with some sympathy.
——I always feel that they want to know more about the predestined relationship method than we do.
……
Silent all night.
Because the environment of Huasheng Temple is naturally not better than that of the inn, but in order not to have to get up so early the next morning, Tianpeng went back to the inn, returned their room, and brought their things back.
This night, the two share a room again.
Although Qingxin said that Chen Yi would be his apprentice tomorrow, they wanted to chat more tonight, or let Chen Yi sleep with him and forget it.But Lin Mu and the others were still worried, and after a few pushbacks, they brought the shirt back.
But Chen Yi didn't seem to be very interested. As soon as he returned to the room, Chen Yi untied the package he had been carrying, revealing the colorful cassock inside.
"Is this what Master Guanyin gave you?" Lin Mu reached out to pick up the cassock and touched it, feeling like he was touching the shroud of Jesus, and sighed, "The material is not bad."
"Naturally," Canopy glanced at it, and said, "This is the craftsmanship of the Buddhist world, so it is naturally extraordinary."
Lin Mu clicked his tongue twice, and just about to speak, he heard Duan Xuan beat him and asked Chen Yi, "Are you unhappy?"
Chen Yi's face darkened, as if he didn't want Duan Xuan to know about it, but the word "unhappy" was clearly written on his own face, making it impossible for anyone to ignore it.
"You don't like it."
This time Duan Xuan used an affirmative sentence, and even Lin Mu noticed that something was wrong with Chen Yi, put down the cassock in his hand, sat next to Chen Yi, pressed his hand on his head, and said, "You Really unhappy? Why? Homesick? Don’t want to become a monk?”
After all, Chen Yi is only an 11-year-old child, and it is not surprising that such a situation will happen at this moment—to be honest, if Chen Yi accepts that he will become a little monk in the future, Lin Mu et al were surprised.
"No." Unexpectedly, Chen Yi shook his head decisively and said, "This is my task, and I will complete it."
"Mission?" Canopy frowned and asked, "What mission?"
"I can't tell you." Chen Yi shook his head and said.
"..."
The other three were speechless for a while, looking at each other, as if they didn't know what to say.
After a while, Lin Mu finally found the words, patted Chen Yi on the shoulder, and reluctantly said: "Don't think too much, we have me, Ah Xuan, and a canopy marshal. I guess there will be more in the future." There may be one person... In short, don't be too stressed. With our lineup, no matter where you go, you have to be courteous. When you finish reading the scriptures, you can become a Buddha if you want to. If you don't want to become a Buddha, you can return to vulgarity, no one is stopping you."
Chen Yi was touched for a moment, he glanced at Lin Mu in surprise, but saw that his eyes were involuntarily looking at Duan Xuan, he immediately rolled his eyes, knocked Lin Mu's hand off his shoulder, Disgusted, "If you don't want to become a Buddha, you can follow you, it has nothing to do with me."
"Oh, of course it doesn't matter,
