Chapter 124

I handed the remnant painting to master Zhiyuan again, but he didn't answer it. He focused on Bai Ling hiding behind Jiang Yilong. He was hurt by Zhiyuan's Buddha roaring skill just now. Now Bai Ling is really afraid that he can't catch up with him.

Bai Ling was afraid of the old monk in front of him. Jiang Yilong and I were also worried that he would hurt Bai Ling secretly again. We quickly blocked Bai Ling's body and blocked master Zhiyuan's sight. "I was ordered by my master on his deathbed to give it to you."

"You know who she is."

"Of course."

"People have humanity, demons have evil ways, and go their own way. Why do you insist on doing so?"

"We're happy, we're happy. What's in your way?"

"Foolish and ignorant. God intended to do so. Today, Lao Na will walk on behalf of heaven."

"Dare you." seeing that master Zhiyuan really wanted to do it, Jiang Yilong took out a lighter from his pocket with a black face. "You old monk is stubborn. If you dare to go too far, I'll order your cottage immediately."

"Just order. What's the harm?"

"Then I'll go out and order the whole hanging temple."

Master Zhiyuan was stunned. He couldn't see any bluff from the expression on Jiang Yilong's face. "It's really the same virtue as the old ox nose. Just come all the way and sit in the Lu."

I said, "what's there to sit in your broken grass house."

"Don't worry, I won't take the opportunity to harm her." master Zhiyuan suddenly said meaningfully: "you should know what she is now. Even if I don't beat her back to her original form now, according to her current situation, the foundation will be damaged for dozens of days, and the Taoist practice will disappear. If you want to have today's cultivation, I'm afraid you have been reincarnated for several generations."

"Listen to your tone, can you help her?"

"Sit or not?"

"Sit down, come all the way, of course."

The thatched cottage is not big, but there is only one, but this one has about 20 square meters. The furnishings are extremely simple. There is a square table with a pair of tea sets and pen and ink on the table, and then there is the bed. On the bed, there is a meditation futon and wooden fish prayer beads, with very eye-catching Zen characters written on the wall behind it.

"Master Zhiyuan."

"The name of the master is not worthy. Call it as you just called it."

"Just now?"

"An old monk or an old immortal monk, ha ha."

There is a saying among the people that there is an old man in the family, such as a treasure. With the growth of people's age, the older the elderly, the more childlike and childlike. Now master Zhiyuan's change is really difficult for us to accept for a while.

Jiang Yilong said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not very good."

"There's nothing wrong. I think your master called me an old bald donkey." speaking of this, master Zhiyuan looked sad and said with emotion: "one is twenty and three. I didn't think it's heaven and man now. Alas, it's more difficult to drink another pot of tea made by old cow's nose than to climb the sky."

I said, "master is strong and can live for at least a hundred years, but, hey... I think it's still because of me."

Jiang Yilong said, "it's not your fault."

"Destiny." master Zhiyuan interrupted us with a word and immediately said, "did old ox nose tell us anything else when he was dying?"

I said, "that's not true. We just asked our martial brothers to hand over this remnant painting to you. Now it's all our fault. We were originally prepared to hand over this remnant painting to you as soon as possible according to the master's order. Unexpectedly, we didn't wait. In the twinkling of an eye, nearly five years have passed."

Master Zhiyuan said, "old cow's nose has gone so long?"

"Yes."

Master Zhiyuan's face became more heavy and remained silent for a long time. Maybe he wanted to break the embarrassing atmosphere. He got up and poured us three cups of green tea. After a while, he said, "give me something."

I just regained my mind and quickly handed the remnant painting in my hand to him. He took off the canvas, unfolded the remnant painting, looked at the remnant painting for a long time, and rolled it under his pillow. During this period, he didn't say anything, and Jiang Yilong and I were more curious.

Master Yuanqiu was able to preserve this remnant painting for a long time. Finally, he asked us to hand it over to master Zhiyuan in person. There must be a reason for this. Unfortunately, Jiang Yilong and I have always been unable to solve the secrets of the remnant painting. Now is the opportunity. How can we miss it.

However, when Jiang Yilong and I spoke out in unison and pointed to the mystery on the residual painting, master Zhiyuan not only didn't answer and explain, but deliberately prevaricated and changed the topic. "Now I'll give you a choice. One is to let me tell you the context of this painting, and the other is to save her."

Bai Ling was dissatisfied and said, "I'm not an alien. I'm an immortal."

Master Zhiyuan said with a smile: "hehe, after nine turns, you are an immortal. Now you have only been a Taoist for 200 years. If you claim to be an immortal, you are not afraid of being punished by heaven."

Bai Ling refused to accept it and continued: "I am bent on the Tao and only seek the right results. How dare I not be immortal? It's just a matter of time."

"Ha ha, that's funny, but it's not, is it?" master Zhiyuan added meaningfully and said, "it's true. Immortals are immortals."

I said, "don't talk about this gossip. I already have the answer."

Master Zhiyuan said hurriedly, "choose to help her?"

I nodded.

Master Zhiyuan said, "that's easy. Her foundation is damaged. If she wants to, she can practice seclusion now."

Jiang Yilong said, "is this what you said?"

"Of course, there are also shortcuts." master Zhiyuan said, "as long as you take it, you can not only consolidate your foundation and cultivate your yuan, but also deeply cultivate your accomplishments, which is far more cost-effective than practicing for a hundred years. However, this shortcut... Hehe, you don't have to study it deeply when the old monk talks wildly."

Jiang Yilong and I didn't understand master Zhiyuan's riddle at all. We were about to ask. Bai Ling said, "you don't have to ask. I already know."

I said, "what did the old monk say?"

Jiang Yilong also said, "yes, I didn't understand at all."

"Now you don't have to ask." Bai Ling immediately saluted master Zhiyuan and said, "thank you for your guidance."

Master Zhiyuan laughed and said, "it's just crazy."

In the next 20 minutes, master Zhiyuan just chatted with us about master Yuanqiu. Maybe the relationship between master Yuanqiu and master Zhiyuan was really unusual. Now heaven and man are separated, so we can only recall our sadness.

Bai Ling said, "it's not early. Brother Zhiyuan Yilong, we won't disturb the master's practice."

Master Zhiyuan said, "your name is Zhiyuan?"

I smiled and scratched my head and said, "I forgot this fork just now. Speaking of it, we still have a little fate. My common name is Qi Zhiyuan, and your Dharma name is Zhiyuan, ha ha."

Master Zhiyuan laughed and sent us to the door of the cottage. At the time of farewell, master Zhiyuan suddenly said something to me. "Taoism is fundamental. Don't sink deep."

I didn't understand and said, "master Zhiyuan, you've been winding around for several times since you entered your broken cottage, and riddles are emerging one after another. I'm stupid and can't turn this corner."

Master Zhiyuan smiled again and said, "you'll understand when you need to understand. Your master in Yuanqiu has also given me a puzzle now. I have to consult it carefully. The mountain road is long. Most of my bones have gone to see the Tathagata Buddha in the West. I can't stand the bumps. Forgive me for sending it not far away. Leave the mountain forest as soon as possible before dark."
