Chapter 31
On the silent mountain top, the fog was getting thicker, and a figure suddenly appeared among the peach blossoms that had just begun to bloom.
Chu Zhou opened his eyes, and there was a lot of pink in his eyes. He looked around, and there were peach blossoms all around him, and he couldn't see clearly in the distance in the thick fog.
After staying for a while, he walked forward along the road under his feet.After turning a few turns, we are about to walk out of the peach forest. Through the gradually thinning mist, we can faintly see the presence of people in front of us.
He walked over, stopped in front of the door, and saw the plaque clearly.
It turned out to be a temple.
Inside the open door, a young disciple was sweeping the floor. He raised his head when he heard faint footsteps at the door.Seeing that it was Chu Zhou, he suddenly threw away the broom in his hand, and ran towards the temple in a hurry, shouting loudly, "Master, that devil has come again!"
Before the so-called master appeared, several young monks appeared, looking at him curiously and fearfully.
Chu Zhou looked bewildered, and was hesitating whether he should take the opportunity to leave. After all, the devil is not a good word, and a familiar mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "This is a new identity setting." He was startled, He turned around abruptly, but found nothing.
At this moment, a middle-aged monk in gray Ziyi came out. Seeing him standing there, he sighed slightly and said, "Come in, the abbot wants to see you." After speaking, he turned around and walked forward. After walking a few steps, I didn't hear the sound of footsteps. Looking back, I was a little puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Chu Zhou hesitated for a moment, then followed.
Although I don't know why the system suddenly appeared, but since he has been given this identity and can appear here, it should be no problem to get in.
Pass through the middle door, and after a few more steps, you come to the living room.
The middle-aged monk led him to the door and withdrew. Chu Zhou walked in, and there was an old monk with a Buddhist bead in his hand. He was the abbot with a kind face and kind eyes.
"I once said that this monastery does not accept villains like you, but since you are persistent, I will give you a chance," the abbot said compassionately when he saw him coming, "I have sent someone to invite Qingfang. "
It's just that Qingfang is devoted to the Buddha, so he won't easily accept a person who has done many evil things as his disciple.
Chu Zhou nodded calmly, but he was still confused, persistent?Qingfang?What kind of character is he this time?
Not long after, there was a sound outside the door, and he became inexplicably nervous.
"Master."
A cold voice sounded, Qingfang walked into the door, bowed to the abbot, then lowered his eyes, not paying any attention to the people next to him.
When Chu Zhou saw his extraordinary appearance and calm expression, he couldn't help but think that this person might be his mission target this time. After all, the shikigami had always been good-looking in previous missions.
"Qingfang, are you willing to accept him as an apprentice." The abbot's voice was more kind than before, but he cut to the point when he asked, obviously he didn't think he would agree.
Sure enough, Qingfang directly refused, without even looking at the people around him, he said coldly: "My disciple's Zen mind has not yet been realized, so don't mislead others."
The abbot sighed, and looked at Chu Zhou, "Qingfang doesn't want to, you should go down the mountain."
Chu Zhou was thinking about the relationship between shikigami and appearance, when he heard this sentence, the other party has already started seeing off guests?But what if Qingfang is his target?After all, the initial place is generally not too far from the goal.
Looking at the indifferent figure at the side, he thickened his skin, reached out and grabbed the corner of the other person's clothes, and tugged gently.
It was only then that Qingfang reacted, his eyes followed that white and slender hand, and finally landed on the face of the person in front of him, the other person's dark eyes looked a bit pitiful, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, it was a small The smile is a little cute.
He didn't know why his heart moved, but he didn't push away the other party's hand.
Seeing that he was not angry, Chu Zhou called again in a low voice, "Master."
Qingfang didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either. After bowing to the abbot again, he turned around and went out.
The abbot looked at his back, shook his head, and sighed.
Chu Zhou followed him, and walked to the innermost courtyard under the astonished eyes of other disciples.
It is very secluded here, there are few disciples walking around, and even the nearest Buddhist hall can only hear the faint sound of chanting sutras.The courtyard was empty except for a linden tree with a futon under it.
Qingfang stopped, and Chu Zhou was observing the surrounding environment, and almost ran into him.
"Master?" He called out with some doubts.
"Are you sure you want to take refuge in my Buddha?" The other party didn't turn around, and could only hear the cold voice. Chu Zhou couldn't help thinking that the other party's face must also be full of indifference.
He replied, "I'm sure."
Qing Fang turned to look at him, lowered his eyes slightly, his voice was still indifferent and without a trace of emotion, "To enter my Buddhist gate, one must abstain from anger, ignorance, lust, and greed. .you might do it?"
Chu Zhou didn't expect him to let go so soon, and hurriedly replied in pleasant surprise: "Yes."
Qingfang nodded and said nothing more.
When they came to a room, Qing Fang said: "You will live here from now on."
Chu Zhou agreed and opened the door.There is a bed and a table inside. There are some books on the table, and there is not even a quilt on the bed.He was a little surprised and asked, "Master, is this your room?"
Qingfang nodded.
"If I live here, what will Master do?"
The other party replied lightly, "I'm going to the Buddhist hall."
Before Chu Zhou could ask any more questions, he turned around and went under the tree, continuing to realize the Tao.
It was not easy for Chu Zhou to bother him anymore.
After thinking about it, he decided to check out his personality first.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a young monk walking quickly, but stopped abruptly when he saw him, and asked hesitantly, "Why are you here?"
Before Chu Zhou could speak, he continued to urge impatiently, "Uncle Master will not accept you as an apprentice, you should leave quickly."
Chu Zhou said "Oh" and said slowly, "But, Master has already let me stay."
"What?" The little monk screamed a little, with a look of jealousy on his face, "How is it possible? How could Master Uncle accept someone like you as a disciple?" He was so talented that he was mercilessly I refused, why did I accept such a heinous person.
Chu Zhou was attracted to his idea of "a person like you", but he was not angry. Thinking of what this little monk might know, he deliberately asked, "What's wrong with a person like me?"
Unexpectedly, the other party did not continue to speak, but just ran away with a "hum".
Leaving Chu Zhou staring at his back in silence, forget it, let's find someone new.
It was getting dark.
Lying on the bed, staring at the blank space above his head, Chu Zhou sorted out the news he had pieced together.
It is said that he was originally a devil, who did many evils and killed people without blinking an eye.One day, he suddenly put down the butcher knife and wanted to join Buddhism, and then came to the famous Lanruo Temple.
It's just that there are many rules in Lanruo Temple, and somehow he knew Qingfang, who had never been down the mountain, and insisted on worshiping at Qingfang's gate.Leaving aside how strict Lanruo Temple's requirements are, it is impossible for Qingfang alone to accept such a disciple.Therefore, he insisted on going up the mountain to visit every day, hoping to worship Qingfang as his teacher, and he finally entered the temple gate until today.
Chu Zhou couldn't help but twitched the corner of his mouth, this is really a mysterious setting.But setting Liqingfang is the key point, and it is also the most beautiful person in this temple.According to past experience, it is basically certain that the target is Qingfang.
After confirming his goal, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and before he knew it, he gradually fell asleep...
late at night.
Chu Zhou woke up suddenly.The moonlight seemed to be there, and the things in the room could barely see the vague outlines.
"Duk, duk, duk—"
It seemed that the sound of knocking wooden fish came from not far away.
He hesitated for a moment, and opened the door. The sound of "squeak" echoed in the quiet night. The sound of wooden fish seemed to stop for a while, and then it still sounded regularly.
After leaving the small courtyard, there seemed to be a misty light in front of him, he paused, and walked towards the Buddhist hall.
