In order to get the map of Fengluanzhou, Tian Xiaoding and Tang Yunzhi inquired all the way to Lingyun Temple in the north of the city.
I happened to meet four young people who wanted to join Lingyun Temple to become monks.
Master Zhiguang, the abbot of Lingyun Temple, mistakenly thought that Xiao Ding also came to become a monk. So after questioning the four young people, he asked Xiao Ding: "Why do you want to become a monk?"
When Xiao Ding heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Master Abbot, I don't want to be a monk."
"Don't be a monk? Then why do you come to my place?" Monk Zhiguang asked with wide eyes.
Xiao Ding hurriedly saluted again and said: "I heard that your temple has a map of Fengluanzhou. I wonder if Master Abbot can sell it to me?"
Monk Zhiguang stared again and said, "Do you want to buy my Fengluanzhou map?"
Xiao Ding smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Exactly!"
Monk Zhiguang shook his round, bald head and said, "Not for sale!"
Xiao Dingxin said, this great monk is really direct!
So, he accompanied the smiling face again, carefully saluted and said: "Master Abbot, this map is extremely important to me. Do you think we can discuss it?"
"It's nothing to discuss! It took me decades to complete it when I traveled to Fengluan Continent. How can I just sell it?" Master Zhiguang said categorically. His vulgar speech made the little boy Ding once doubted that he was really an eminent monk from Lingyun Temple?
Seeing Monk Zhiguang speak so decisively, Xiao Ding knew in his heart that there was no hope of buying the monk's map.
So he thought for a while and then said: "Master Abbot, how about this? You take out the map and let me look at it. I will return it to you. What do you think?"
Monk Zhiguang paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Ding and said, "That won't work either. My map has been saved for too long. What if you accidentally damage it?"
Xiao Ding complained secretly in his heart when he saw that the great monk was indifferent and didn't even look at him. Then I used the Heavenly Eye Technique to look at the great monk's cultivation, and saw that he was already at the early stage of Nascent Soul. No wonder this guy was so arrogant, he was confident.
Xiao Ding did not dare to offend the Yuanying monk. But for the map, he was not going to give up just yet, he still had to fight for it.
So Xiao Ding had to force a smile on his face again, cupped his hands and said: "Master Abbot, how about this, I will go to put incense sticks for the Buddha later, leave some incense money for your temple, and then you can let me look at the map. how?"
Master Zhiguang rolled his eyes and said, "How much money do you plan to give for incense?"
When Xiao Ding saw the door, he quickly said: "One hundred yuan..."
"Huh?..." Before Xiao Ding could finish speaking, Monk Zhiguang snorted.
Xiao Ding quickly changed his words and said: "Five hundred, five hundred low-grade spiritual stones, is that okay?"
Monk Zhiguang snorted again and said, "No, I need a thousand low-grade spiritual stones, otherwise don't even think about looking at my map!"
Raising prices on the ground? I'll kill you right in front of you!
Xiao Ding knew he was being cheated, but he had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, one thousand is one thousand!" For the sake of the map, Xiao Ding was willing to admit his loss.
Master Zhiguang may not have expected that Xiao Ding would agree so happily. He was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you really willing to spend a thousand spiritual stones?"
Xiao Ding nodded and said affirmatively: "Yes, as long as you can let me observe the map, I am willing to pay a thousand spirit stones for incense."
Upon hearing this, Master Zhiguang nodded and said, "Okay, deal. I'll take you to see the map later."
After speaking, he pointed to the four young people who came to become a monk, and said to the young monk who had been standing aside: "The four of them have no wisdom and are not suitable for becoming monks. Send them out of the temple." Bar."
The young monk clasped his hands together, bowed to Monk Zhiguang, and said, "Yes, Abbot!"
Then the young monk turned around and said to the four people: "Our abbot will not accept you, so you can follow me out."
The four young men rubbed the big bumps on their heads with their hands, and they all bared their teeth, but did not dare to scream. The expressions on their faces looked very strange.
After being beaten, they were not accepted as monks, which made them feel a little unwilling. However, looking at Zhiguang's big man, the four of them thought in their hearts that they definitely couldn't afford to offend this big monk, so they might as well forget it.
So, they didn't dare to say anything anymore, they all chose to give in and followed the little monk dejectedly towards the outside.
After watching the young monk leave with the four young people, Monk Zhiguang looked at Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi again and said: "Two donors, if you two want to burn incense, you can burn it here instead of going to the front hall. No matter which Buddha you worship, you have to worship."
Xiao Ding and the two had no choice but to nod in agreement. Xiao Ding walked up to the table, picked up the incense placed on the table, took out three sticks, lit them with fire, and inserted them into the basin-sized incense burner. Finally, Xiao Ding bowed three times to the Buddha statue.
It wasn't until Xiao Ding finished worshiping the Buddha that Master Zhiguang came to Xiao Ding's side, stretched out a palm the size of a cattail leaf fan, and said: "After burning the incense, please pay."
Xiao Ding took out a thousand low-grade spiritual stones from the jade pendant space and placed them on the futon on the ground.
After all, a thousand spiritual stones are enough for a small pile.
Monk Zhiguang reached out and put the small pile of spirit stones into his storage space, and then said to Xiao Ding and the others: "Don't you want to see the map? Come on, come with me!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Xiao Ding and the others followed him, he just walked out of the door and walked towards the courtyard on the first floor behind.
Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi had no choice but to follow the great monk out, not daring to fall behind.
The three of them walked towards the courtyard at the back.
After arriving at a room called the "Jingxiu Hall" in the back yard, monk Zhiguang told Xiao Ding and the two to wait here for a while. Then he told the young monk standing at the door of the "Jingxiu Hall": "Liuzhao, go to the Sutra Pavilion and tell your uncle Zhiduo who guards the Sutra Pavilion to find the map of Fengluan Continent that I drew and bring it to me."
The young monk known as Liuzhao responded and quickly retreated.
After Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi were let into the room, they discovered that the furnishings in this room were very simple. There was only a long coffee table and a few futons on the floor. There was not even a wooden bench in the room.
There was a teapot and a bowl on the coffee table, but unfortunately there was no tea in the pot.
The two of them were wondering what to do when they saw Monk Zhiguang turning around and walking back. He looked at the teapot on the table and said, "Oh, I forgot. Let Liuzhao make a pot of tea first." correct."
After saying that, he picked up the teapot on the table and tipped it over. Only a little tea base was poured out.
Zhiguang kept mumbling in his mouth: "This won't work, we still have to ask Liu Zhao to help change a pot of tea." As he said that, he put down the teapot in his hand awkwardly.
Xiao Ding could see his embarrassed expression. He didn't expect that a great monk in the Nascent Soul Stage would look so naive when he was embarrassed.
So, he quickly said: "No hurry, no hurry, just wait until the sixth recall comes back."
However, the great monk Zhiguang rolled his eyes at Xiao Ding and said, "Even if you don't want to wait, I have no other way. I haven't made tea."
Seeing that Zhiguang said it so naturally, Xiao Ding couldn't help but find it funny, but he would not show it to his face. He just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you wait. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if you drink tea or not, as long as he can bring the map back."
Monk Zhiguang asked strangely: "You two are so eager to see the map. Is there something urgent that you can't do?"
Xiao Ding nodded and said: "This map is very important to us. We are being hunted. Without a map, we can only hit blindly like headless flies. If we had a map, we would have a purpose to escape. .”
When Monk Zhiguang heard this, he glared and said: "Here, let me see who dares to chase you! Even if you are Tian Xiaoding who is wanted by the Cultivation Alliance, I will not let those guys from Lingyun Sect move. Not a hair on your head."
Xiao Ding smiled bitterly and said: "Master Abbot, you are right, I am really the Tian Xiaoding who was hunted down by the Cultivation Alliance." He reported his name because he felt that this Zhiguang Although the master has a somewhat rude personality, he may not have any ill intentions towards him.
Sure enough, Monk Zhiguang was a little surprised when he heard Xiao Ding announcing his family status.
Although he was surprised, Monk Zhiguang still nodded with slight approval and said, "Young man, you are really courageous! You actually dare to tell your true identity in front of me."
While the two were chatting, the young monk named Liu Zhao who had been sent away before came back. He was carrying a thick bamboo tube on his back. The bamboo tube looked very old from the outside.
When he came to Monk Zhiguang, Liu Zhao clasped his hands together, bent down and saluted, and said, "Report to Master Abbot, I have gone to the Sutra Pavilion to get the map, and I would like to ask Master to take a look." After saying that, he took off the map from his back. Hold the thick bamboo tube in both hands and hand it to Monk Zhiguang.
Monk Zhiguang took the bamboo tube and said, "Okay, go and help us make a pot of tea."
Liu Zhao responded and went down with the teapot.
Monk Zhiguang opened the bamboo tube and took out a long axis. Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi's eyes never left the long shaft in Abbot Zhiguang's hand.
This long scroll also looks very old. Judging from its appearance, it seems that it has been carefully framed.
I saw Monk Zhiguang placing the long scroll flat on the coffee table and slowly unfolding the scroll in his hand.
A huge map slowly appeared in front of Xiao Ding and Tang Yunzhi.
This map is quite large, seven or eight feet long and more than three feet wide. It marked the locations of cities and towns, as well as the locations of Jianghu sects and so on. It seems very detailed.
Xiao Ding looked over inch by inch, trying to remember it in his mind.
He already has the ability to have a photographic memory, but this photographic memory usually has a time limit and is not a permanent photographic memory. But once it is remembered in the mind, it will not be forgotten in a short time. But if you don't use this piece of memory for a long time, it will be forgotten over time.
Otherwise, a person will experience all kinds of things every day in his life. If everything that happens to him is remembered and recorded in the brain, then how much storage capacity does the brain have to have? Use it?
After Xiao Ding knew that he could not buy this map from Zhiguang, he decided to do the next best thing. He planned to observe the map and then force it into his mind. After leaving Lingyun Temple, he would memorize it in his mind. map and redraw it. In this case, he is equivalent to copying a map of Fengluan Continent.
