Chapter 35 Monk Xuanmi
The little monk led the big monk towards the mountain. The five monks carrying the sedan chair under the big monk were breathing heavily and the ground was soaked with sweat. But None of them dared to stop, they all gritted their teeth.
After climbing the 666 steps, the five monks placed the sedan firmly on the ground, and then rolled away in four directions, some lying flat on the ground. Some were lying on their sides on stone piers.
The last one was simply pressed under the sedan, motionless, as if dead.
"It's useless. I can't even lift the sedan chair. I don't have any skills. It's really embarrassing for me to bring you out!"
The fat monk snorted coldly, then took a step forward and got off the sedan.
My feet landed on the ground, and after shaking three times, I stood at the gate of Anming Temple.
The little monk looked at the big monk's behavior with an embarrassed smile on his face, but he couldn't say anything.
He doubted whether he had been possessed by ghosts and invited such a living Buddha.
The door of Anming Temple opened, and two abbots, one abbot and one abbot, walked out of the temple. The moment they saw the fat monk, they also had expressions of surprise on their faces, and finally they looked at each other. .
This eminent monk seems to be a little different from what they imagined.
However, you still have to be humane and sophisticated. The fat monk immediately came up with a smile:
“Amitabha, poor monk An Yi, this is my junior brother An Er, we two People are this Anming Temple The abbot, I wonder what the master’s name is?”
“The poor monk Xuan Mi, a disciple of King Kang”
The fat monk was holding the bowl with no expression, but looking around as if he were inspecting a piece of merchandise. Anming Temple.
But when An Yi and An Er heard the fat monk calling himself, the two of them immediately became overjoyed.
It’s really that great monk named King Kang!
In this world where vassals and kings are divided, if you can hang out with the vassal kings, you will have a better future than entering the court and becoming an official!
There are no monks on the side of King Shou, and they have no way. If they want to stick to the vassal king seriously, they have only King Kang.
Now that the great monk has come to his temple, it is simply a God-given opportunity!
As for the famine in Xuzhou under the supervision of King Kang, it didn't matter to the two monks.
It’s impossible for Anming Temple to really move away. If they stay here in Qingzhou, they can eat and drink. What does your panic in Xuzhou have to do with us?
And even if we really become King Kang’s disciples, ordinary people can’t afford to eat. How can King Kang not afford to eat?
I heard that King Kang was two meters tall and weighed three tons. He had good wine and venison every day, accompanied by beautiful women, and his customers were all very wealthy. According to the two of them, their assets could only rise steadily. rich.
"Master Xuanmi! I have long admired my name! My junior brother noticed that a noble person was about to come to my temple last night when he was watching the sky at night. This morning we cleaned the temple in advance and waited for you to come. ”
An Yi approached Xuan Mi with a smile, bowed respectfully, and planned to invite Xuan Mi in.
After Xuanmi heard his words, a strange emotion appeared on his originally expressionless face.
He looked An Yi and An Er up and down, and suddenly said:
"I come out this time to represent King Kang. Wherever this foot steps, it means that King Kang has arrived. . ”
An and An looked at each other, wondering what the great monk meant.
Seeing that these two people were unable to adapt, Xuanmi frowned.
"With the protection of King Kang, your temple is under the control of King Kang. Is it possible that you can let me in just by saying 'please'?"
Hearing this, An Yi immediately It was a sudden realization.
He immediately winked at An Er, who immediately ran to the temple. After a while, An Er ran out.
An Er came close to Xuan Mi and took out a gold ingot from his sleeve. It shone brightly and was exquisite. He respectfully handed the gold ingot to Xuanmi. Xuanmi took it and weighed it in his hand, with a slight smile on his face.
“It’s okay.”
As he said that, he put the gold ingot on his bowl.
The pile of rice slid down like quicksand, and the gold ingot immediately sank into it and disappeared.
An Yi and An Er were dumbfounded.
What kind of treasure is this that has such abilities?
It is impossible for ordinary people to learn this method!
He is indeed a retainer of the feudal lord! Even if his abilities are not as good as those of those aristocratic families, I'm afraid they're not much smaller!
After collecting the gold ingot, Xuanmi was finally willing to take steps to enter the temple.
Under the leadership of An Yi and An Er, Xuan Mi entered the main hall, and he saw the giant Buddha located in the main hall at a glance.
The kind-faced Buddha is sitting on the lotus throne. His whole body is golden. It is obviously painted with gold paint. As soon as he enters the room, he feels that the precious light is overflowing. If the Buddha's spirit is not effective, let's say it is dazzling.
There is a small table in front of him, with several incense altars placed on the table, and in front of the small table there is a wooden box with the characters "offering box" carved on it.
Xuanmi came over and patted it with his palm, only to hear a banging sound inside.
"Master Xuanmi, we will arrange a room for you right now." An Yi approached Xuanmi and said flatteringly.
"That's not necessary." Xuan Mi shook his head: "When I came out this time, I still carried the mission given by King Kang. You sent a few young monks to go to Qingzhou City in the south. Did you meet any strange people on the way? The weirdos stopped and asked.”
"What are you asking?" An Yi asked suspiciously.
“I asked on the way...'Can you see any great merits?' If not, I continued walking to the city. When I got to Qingzhou City, I had to ask the local civilians. Then I asked, 'Is the River God here?' Is there a young master coming?',"
The two monks didn't understand why the master did this. His words sounded strange, like they were playing a riddle, but they heard that it was a mission from King Kang. , they nodded their heads in a hurry.
"As for me, bring me a better futon, and then go to the kitchen to grab a bowl of rice. I'm going to burn incense and worship the Buddha."
An and An looked at each other.
The two of them thought that Master Xuanmi took the money just now. They thought he was the kind of greedy master. Unexpectedly, he even wanted to worship Buddha after coming in. He was really a role model for monks.
The two of them did not dare to delay, and immediately gave all the instructions that Master Xuanmi had just given.
A group of young monks went out along the mountain gate and started walking south. The best futon in the temple was also placed right in front of the Golden Buddha.
After several bowls of rice were placed in front of Xuanmi, Xuanmi sat down on the futon, waved his hand, and asked An and An to go out.
When An Yi and An Er left, Xuan Mi was the only one left in the hall, and he sneered.
"Two idiots, I'm afraid they don't regard yesterday's great merit as mine."
Xuanmi also suddenly felt a great merit rising from Qingzhou last night, which was like fireworks to him It suddenly exploded in the dark night. He guessed that a treasure was born. He happened to receive a mission from King Kang to investigate Qingzhou City, so he directly sent a few of his servants to bring him here.
The deputy abbot of Anming Temple seemed to have learned some inexperienced treasure-holding skills and mistook the treasure for a person, so he invited him in.
You have come, how can you leave empty-handed?
Xuanmi looked at the big Buddha in front of him, his eyes full of greed.
