Chapter 175 The partner who suddenly disappeared
The most unpredictable task is successfully completed, and everyone is free.
Relax and explore the temple ruins in search of new discoveries.
But there were too few things to discover, that is, the patterns of some stone pillars were full of mystery. Li Sisi took pictures of each of these stone pillars from all sides, and Lin Xiaosu also observed them from all sides, but he did not take any pictures.
His character Dolan Xin is so strong, it feels like having seen it before.
The two researchers were interested in the Bodhi tree and asked the professor if they should just remove it.
Before the professor could answer, the young monk stopped working and gave a Buddhist lesson to the two graduate students.
This Buddhist lesson is in the name of his master. The master said that greed is not allowed in the land of Buddhism. The master also said that there is karma and retribution in the world. His words are very polite and reasonable, but the implication cannot be interpreted. The meaning is very complicated. Vicious: If you dare to pull down this bodhi tree, you will surely die...
The two graduate students were punished by him in the name of his master, and they lost their temper.
Finally, after watching everything, as the sun was about to set, they descended from the temple, crossed the Twin Bridges of Ice and Fire, and embarked on the return journey, staying one more night at the place where they stayed the night before.
This night, Dawa was very sad.
Because the Immortal Heaven had not yet manifested itself as a saint, and the Buddha statue that suddenly appeared in the sky did not work, they simply could not find the Fetus Tribulation Fruit.
She wanted to comfort Brother Su.
However, Brother Su went into the tent to rest early. He must be very sad at the moment. She didn't know how to comfort him...
Another day.
They then passed through Wolf Valley and then Butterfly Valley.
As the sun set, they successfully returned to Wuxiang Temple.
When they returned to Wuxiang Temple, it was already late at night, and Master Hongguang prepared a vegetarian meal for them, which was actually free.
After dinner, the professor said it was already getting late, so he could rest in the meditation room for one night and then go home tomorrow.
People on his team were fine with it.
Lin Xiaosu naturally had no objection either.
So, he stayed.
Outside the mountain, the autumn wind is getting cooler, and inside the temple, it is very quiet.
The four-day and four-night journey on the Smokey Road came to an end, and everyone seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
He was awakened by the morning bell in the temple.
Pushing open the Zen door, he saw the little monk Mingruo.
Ming Ran was holding a tray with porridge and steamed buns on it, a standard Han Chinese meal.
Lin Xiaosu thanked this friend who was traveling with him, ate his breakfast, and asked casually: "Are they all up?"
He answered him clearly: "The donor's friends have left the temple and gone home."
Lin Xiaosu suddenly raised his head, somewhat in disbelief.
It's early in the morning and all the friends have gone home?
Is it necessary to be so early?
In addition, he always felt that some of these friends, such as Dawa, would say goodbye to him.
After coming out of the mountain, he could see that Dawa had something to say to him.
However, they all left quietly.
Judging from the current time, it should not have been dawn when they left.
Just because they have harvested the legendary Bodhi on the other side, are they worried about long nights and dreams?
This doesn't quite fit their character.
You need to know, there are a bunch of people with super powers among them, how many people in the secular world can pose a threat to them?
Stepping out of the Zen gate, Lin Xiaosu quietly started tracing back time and space.
Looking back in time and space, he saw an unimaginable scene...
It is true that some people left before dawn.
Professor Yin and his two graduate students.
Just the three of them.
Hoover, Li Sisi, and Dawa did not leave.
They followed the young monk in front of them to the side hall in front and never came out again.
Lin Xiaosu strolled away, following their footsteps in the early morning. The side hall was even more remote than the main hall, all in the mountain. Lin Xiaosu walked along the long and narrow cave and reached the end of the side hall.
Under the stone wall at the end, there is an old monk sitting.
It was the one who was sitting in the Buddhist hall on the day he entered the mountain.
During the whole process, he only sat there and never said a word.
Today, he was sitting at the end of the side hall and was only responsible for sitting. It seemed that he had no intention of saying a word.
Because his eyes were not even opened.
Lin Xiaosu stared at the stone wall behind him, his eyes blank.
Three adventurers entered this side hall and disappeared from the world.
From a normal perspective, one can see all the way to this side hall, and not even a mouse can be hidden.
But looking back in time and space, he saw an incredible scene. This pure natural stone wall was a portal, and there was a cave behind it...
"Donor, the master is in retreat. Don't disturb me. Donor, please come back." The little monk's childlike voice came from behind.
Lin Xiaosu slowly turned back, gently raised her hand, and touched his head: "Is he your master?"
"Yes!"
"Your master is not in seclusion, he just avoids being disturbed by others." Lin Xiaosu said: "If he hears some topics that interest him, he will open his eyes."
"Donor, my master has lost everything and has no topics of interest." The young monk said. "Really? How about we have a bet?" Lin Xiaosu said: "If I can make him interested, can you tell me your true age?"
Ran looked at him blankly, her two bright eyes sending out a very confused signal, as if to say: Can gambling be allowed in Buddhism? The bet is still...my age?
Lin Xiaosu smiled softly and turned around: "Master, you are Kun Cang, right?"
If these eight words fall into the ears of Qianlong members, they will definitely be earth-shattering.
But when it fell on the master's ears, it was like a breeze blowing through his ears, and the master remained motionless.
However, Lin Xiaosu still keenly observed that the master's neck seemed to tighten.
"This adventure is an assessment arranged by Kun Cang, right?"
This is even more unbelievable.
The master still did not move, but his eyebrows were inexplicably blown by the wind...
Lin Xiaosu smiled: "Professor Yin's role is similar to Kun Cang's 'World Walk'. His function is to select good seedlings for Kun Cang. If the people he brings are good enough, he can also get rewards from Kun Cang. Then The Bodhi tree on the other side is the reward for this mission, right?”
The young monk stepped forward: "Donor, please don't disturb my master's spiritual practice. My master..."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
His voice suddenly stopped, because the master in front of him opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiaosu quietly.
Lin Xiaosu also looked at him quietly.
These eyes are particularly magical. If they are born on the face of a young man, they can be considered to enhance the appearance. But if they are born on the face of a dying old monk, I don't know what it is like.
Maybe this is called having Buddha in your heart and light in your eyes.
"Master..." The young monk put his hands together in greeting.
The master waved his hand gently and signaled the young monk to go out.
The young monk bowed and retreated.
The side hall was quiet.
Just two pairs of eyes looking at each other.
The master exhaled softly: "What did the donor mean by what he just said?"
"If Master really doesn't understand what I'm saying, you probably don't need to open your eyes." Lin Xiaosu said: "Kun Cang is not a shady force. As a master of Buddhism, Master is not a hidden person, so why not be honest? See you?”
The master exhaled softly and smiled slightly: "The donor just said three words in a row, but donor Yin told you?"
This sentence is honest enough.
This sentence completely fulfilled Lin Xiaosu's guess. Yes, what he just said was a guess, a very bold guess, but at this moment, it has come true!
Big waves were rolling in his heart, but his face was as calm as the autumn wind: "Master, can this junior gain Professor Yin's trust? Can he gain your trust?"
This is also indirectly acknowledged.
However, he admitted very skillfully. He did not directly lock the door. He only said that he had gained Professor Yin's trust. Even if Professor Yin caused trouble for him in the future, he could easily deal with it: I only said that I can gain your trust. You let me When I join a team, isn’t that trust in itself? I didn't spread any rumors or say you revealed any secrets...
The master asked: "What kind of trust does the donor want?"
"I want to ask the master to open the door to the realm behind me. I want to join Kuncang and his party."
Behind...
These two words also have their own mystery.
The meaning is broad.
Behind you can refer to the stone wall behind the master at this moment.
It can also refer to the Kun Cang behind the Wuxiang Temple represented by the master.
No matter where the door to this realm is, one behind is enough to sum it up.
The master smiled softly: "The donor seems to be unconvinced by his failure."
Lost!
Convinced!
These two words came to Lin Xiaosu's ears, and he immediately got the answer. He, Lin Xiaosu, was actually among the selection ranks, but he failed to pass.
The masters in Kuncang secretly observed everyone in their team and chose Hoover, Li Sisi, and Dawa, but not him!
"Four of us were traveling together, but I was the only one who was not selected. Naturally, I am not convinced!" Lin Xiaosu said, "May I ask what Kun Cang's selection criteria are?"
This is what he really wants to know.
He wanted to know what people in Kuncang really valued.
Hoover, Li Sisi, and Dawa seem to have nothing in common...
The master said: "There are many Kuncang sects, and the people they value are different. Some choose scholars based on their blood, some choose scholars based on special skills, and some choose scholars based on their beauty. And the donor You, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, in Master Kuncang’s opinion, there is no necessary reason.”
Lin Xiaosu's eyes slowly opened wide, and she thought she was referring to Dawa because her bloodline must be very special.
The one who selects scholars through martial arts should refer to Ho Fo. Could it be that the ancient martial arts he cultivated were so magical that even Kun Cang was reluctant to give up?
And beauty attracts scholars...
It was obviously Li Sisi.
Lin Xiaosu was convinced of this girl's beauty. As long as her aesthetics were normal, this girl would definitely be beautiful.
However, it would be a bit embarrassing for Kuncang to select a scholar because of her beauty...
Why do I think this job selection seems like a big boss choosing a secretary?
Aren't the masters in Kuncang also free from vulgar taste?
Thousands of thoughts flowed through my mind and turned into a sigh: "Master, a generation of eminent monks should have a different vision. Do you really think that younger generations are worthless?"
The master shook his head gently: "I can see that the benefactor is quite extraordinary. If the benefactor is willing to be ordained as a monk in my Wuxiang Temple, I will naturally be happy with it, but if the benefactor wants to enter the Kun Cang, I have no say."
< br>
"Who has the final say?"
"Of course someone has the final say, but this person is not Lao Monk. The benefactor's request is nothing unreasonable, so why not just let it go?"
It wasn't that he didn't meet Lin Xiaosu's request.
But he doesn't have the authority.
The Kuncang Gate is opened from within.
Kun Cang's authority is in a pair of hands that he cannot see.
The owner of these hands may be observing him secretly, or looking for the genius he recognizes in the vast sea of people. If you get his recognition, you will be qualified to enter Kuncang. If you don't get his recognition, you want to hit him. Going up is also impossible.
