At the dinner table, Wujiu did not answer Shangguan Pomegranate's question directly. Instead, he smiled slightly and then said:
"Indeed, our Wuxin Temple has actually been regarded as a deviant and apostate by the Buddhist and Taoist sects all over the world, and the master once told the young monk that after returning to Wuxin Temple, when the young monk grows up, he will let the young monk leave China. Go to Tianzhu to worship."
"Going to Tianzhu?" Shuai Shuaiya was surprised: "Are you going to see the Tathagata?"
Wugou nodded: "Actually, the young monk thinks that he has little talent and little knowledge of Buddhism. But for some reason, my master has great confidence in the young monk. He often praises the young monk for his wisdom, and his understanding of Buddhism is as good as that of the Sixth Patriarch. Shadow, given time, he will transcend suffering and destroy the path.
Moreover, there will definitely be a dispute between the old and new Buddhas in the future, so my master wants the young monk to go to Tianzhu when he reaches adulthood..."
"What are you going for?" Lin Xiaolu asked vaguely with a stuffed elbow in his mouth.
Wugu's face turned red and he said a little shyly: "Go to Tianzhu...discuss the Dharma with Tathagata~"
"Hiss~"
Lin Xiaolu, Jiang Ning, Shangguan Shiliu, and even Shuai Shuaiya all took a breath and were stunned.
Is Wu Gu’s master crazy? Let Wugou discuss the Dharma with Buddha?
At the dinner table, everyone was stunned for a long time, and then Shangguan Shiliu suddenly slapped the table and gave Wujia a thumbs up:
"I didn't expect you, little monk, to be so shy when you look so wild and awesome! So crazy! So arrogant!"
Lin Xiaolu also clicked his tongue and said in wonder: "Although I don't understand, don't worry, Wu Gu. If the Buddha refuses to discuss the Dharma and admits that he has lost, you can give me my name and tell him that you are my Winter Melon Village." A bully! He will definitely give me face."
"Pfft~" Jiang Ning was instantly amused by Lin Xiaolu's words, covering her mouth and trembling with laughter.
"Come on, come on, don't say anything else, let's wish Wugao an early success." Lin Xiaolu generously picked up the rice wine and asked Wugou to pick up the tea.
"cheers!"
"yeah!"
The four wine bowls collided with each other, making a crisp sound. The atmosphere among the boys and girls at the table suddenly became heated. Lin Xiaolu, Shangguan Shiliu, and Jiang Ning all began to look forward to it inexplicably.
What kind of master is this Zen Master Wu Xin? It’s so interesting. I really want to meet him soon.
Soon, after several people had eaten and drank enough, Lin Xiaolu actually turned somersaults for the villagers. His nimble and vigorous skills made all the villagers cheer loudly and applaud continuously.
After that, the group set off again and continued on the road.
…
…
In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly and there was no cloud in the sky.
On the bank of a magnificent river, the carriage of young people came here leisurely.
Lin Xiaolu jumped out of the car and squatted by the river, looking at the turbulent river and the green mountains on the other side of the river. He hesitated and asked his friends behind him: "How should we cross the river?"
"There should be a boatman here, right?"
"What about the carriage and horses?"
"have no idea."
Several people were a little confused, standing on the river bank and looking out.
On the river, the waves are turbulent and the sound is loud. The river is so fast that even if there is a boatman crossing the river, it should not be able to carry a carriage, unless it is a big boat.
Soon after, they did see the boatman. Just as they imagined, the boatman was just an old man. The boat was also very small. It was like a drop in the ocean hanging on the river, as if it could be overturned at any time.
"You guys will get on the boat in a moment, and I will swim over with the horse on my back. Wuji, get some hemp rope and tie the horse to me."
After saying that, Lin Xiaolu stood on the shore and shouted to the old man rowing:
"Boatman, come here and let us chop you twice! Oh no, we have to cross the river~" He shouted loudly, but there was no other way. The waves on the riverside were so loud that no one could hear him unless he shouted hard.
After hearing Lin Xiaolu's summons, the old man in coarse linen clothes and a bamboo hat moved quickly, and soon he paddled to guide the boat.
As soon as he reached the shore, he looked at the young people in front of him and asked:
"You want to cross the river?"
Jiang Ning nodded and was about to ask about the price of crossing the river when he heard him sigh and shake his head.
"I can't make it, something big happened in Cuiwei Mountain!"
Several people were stunned, what kind of mountain?
The old man helplessly pointed to the towering green mountains on the other side of the river and said, "Cuiwei Mountain, the Xianjia sect on top of it... the Sunset Sect, has been destroyed!"
Everyone:? ? ?
Lin Xiaolu looked at Shangguan Shiliu curiously: "Sunset Sect? Is this the same sect of cultivating immortals as Emei and Quanzhen?"
"Probably not, I have never heard of it." Shangguan Shiliu said bluntly: "It is probably a small third-rate sect."
After saying that, Jiang Ning asked the old man: "Old man, what happened?"
The old man sighed:
"Just a few days ago, a huge python monster attacked the Sunset Sect. I was on the riverside at the time and saw the giant python with my own eyes. It was extremely huge. The width of its body was only one or two meters, and its length was dozens of meters long, and then I saw the giant python using its body to swim up Cuiwei Mountain, rolling back and forth on the top of Cuiwei Mountain, splashing with light. At that time, I hurriedly ran home and hid. It was only today that I dared to come out and take a look. .
Guess what, this Sunset Sect didn’t even have the formation to protect the mountain. After I went up, before I even reached the top of the mountain, I saw countless bones of dead people, all wearing the clothes of Sunset Sect disciples. I was frightened and ran down quickly. "
"I advise you to find another way." After saying that, the old man sighed and prepared to leave.
"Hey, hey, grandpa, don't leave in a hurry. You can ferry us over and we'll give you money." Lin Xiaolu grabbed his sleeve and said.
"Little Taoist Priest, this is not a matter of money. I still want to live a few more years."
On the side, Jiang Ning whispered to Shangguan Shiliu and asked: "Shangguan, are you and Xiaolu sure about such a big python?"
Shangguan Shiliu thought for a while and said hesitantly: "From the description of the body shape, the python should have a cultivation level that cannot be achieved by forming a pill. This Sunset Sect is probably just a small and unpopular sect, probably only better than those casual cultivators." If the family is stronger, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”
After saying that, she looked at the old man who refused to cross the river, and threw out a piece of gold:
"Old man, sell the boat to us, you can go."
The old man was stunned, touched the gold ingot in his hand in disbelief, and then said to several young people: "You guys, take care, I'll go away!"
After saying that, he abandoned the boat and ran away with great strides. He disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
This speed made Lin Xiaolu stunned. He said with a speechless face: "This old man runs so fast, my Qinggong skills are even ashamed."
"Okay, stop being so talkative." Jiang Ning asked him and Shangguan Shiliu: "Have you been able to deal with such a powerful monster?"
"Of course we can deal with it." Lin Xiaolu was not afraid at all. He stood proudly by the river with his little hands behind his back and said with sharp eyes: "I like small animals the most."
Handsome Duck looked at Lin Xiaolu curiously: "Boss, how much do you like it?"
"I like it as much as I like sauced elbow."
"You two can do it." Shangguan Shiliu hummed impatiently: "I will fly over first to check the situation. If it is just a little monster, I will kill it directly. You can wait on the shore for a while."
"Yes, let Shangguan go check the situation first, don't be rash."
Shangguan Shiliu crossed her little arms, looked around her companions and chuckled: "You guys can rest here for a while, today we are eating snake soup!" After saying this, the embroidered shoes under her feet shone slightly, and then she looked as if she was a fairy. It rose from the ground and flew directly to Cuiwei Mountain on the other side of the river at an astonishing speed.
Watching her retreating back, Lin Xiaolu shouted: "Huadie, hurry up, I'm waiting for your snake soup!"
