I often hear people say that peers are enemies, because as long as they are in the same industry, there will be conflicts of interest. After all, there will definitely be competition between peers. That's why there is such a saying, which describes conflicts between peers. Most of the time, this sentence is correct.
But sometimes there are exceptions, such as the current enlightened monk and Xiaodao. They are in the same cultivation industry, but they don't hate each other at all. This can be confirmed from the look in their eyes. Not only do they not hate each other, they even feel a little sympathetic to each other, especially the appearance of the eminent monk Wu Neng who does not mean to avoid Liu Yating at all.
"This benefactor, are you really a practitioner of Taoism? I don't know which sect you are a disciple of, benefactor, or which sect of advanced magic you practice. Although this poor monk has not been practicing Buddhism for a long time, he has been fortunate enough to meet him. Some of the people in the sects know a little bit about magic."
Listening to Wu Neng's words, it seemed that he was doubting Zhang Xiaodao, but Liu Yating knew very well that if Master Wu Neng really doubted him, he would definitely not say these words. Because in the eyes of the eminent monk, if you are fake, he will not continue to talk to you about this topic. Their curiosity is very small, and they will not ask about things that have nothing to do with themselves.
Then Liu Yating was confused. How did the other party know that Xiaodao had real abilities? Xiaodao hadn't said anything since he came in until now!
In fact, what Liu Yating didn't know was that the reason why the eminent monk Wu Neng was so sure that Xiao Dao was capable was because of Xiao Dao's look just now. If he were not a true cultivator, he would not have been able to discover in time that his beads were precious. When he first came in, Xiaodao had already discovered the extraordinary nature of the beads. It is conceivable that he must be a capable person.
"It's not a brilliant spell, and I didn't learn from any famous sect. I'm just a nobody with no sect. I just got the appreciation of my master by chance, so he just taught me a few random lessons!"
Xiaodao would not brag or anything in front of eminent monks, but chose to keep a low profile, telling his origins very lowly and at the same time very vaguely. To put it more directly, it is as if nothing has been said, but the other party will not find it inappropriate to say this. In the world of cultivation, many people do not like to reveal their old background.
"Donor, you are really too modest. This poor monk actually focuses on meditation, and he knows very little about real Buddhist magic!"
The eminent monk Wu Neng speaks really directly and kindly. He doesn't hide anything in his words, and what he says makes people feel very comfortable.
However, their conversation stirred up a storm in Liu Yating's heart, because from their conversation we could know that Master Wu Neng was also a cultivator. This wasn't what shocked her the most. What surprised her the most was that there were actually cultivation sects in this world. Doesn't that mean that there should be many cultivators there? Is it really the same as what was written in the novel?
"Master, I brought this friend here this time because I wanted to ask for something. What happened was that we met a poor female ghost..."
Although Liu Yating had not calmed down yet, the two of them had already exchanged greetings, and then they had to get down to business. Therefore, Liu Yating tried her best to calm down and tell her the purpose of coming here. Liu Yating didn't bother to tell the whole thing. From the beginning of the matter, to Xiaodao's help, and finally to why he came here.
Liu Yating did not miss anything, and told Wu Neng everything. Master Wu Neng was not impatient, and just sat aside and listened quietly. Not a word was said in the middle, but the young monk who left before came once and brought them freshly boiled hot water and tea. So Wu Neng listened to Liu Yating's words while making tea for the two of them. Finally, Liu Yating finished speaking and Wu Neng's tea was ready. He poured tea for the two of them very calmly.
"The poor monk's guess is indeed correct. The two of you are not here for your own business. Otherwise, with the donor's ability, if he really encounters any trouble, he will not need my help. "
After he finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip gently, and motioned for Liu Yating and Xiaodao to drink together, as if the gathering here was for tea tasting. His mood was not disturbed at all because of what he just heard. As expected of an eminent monk, his mental state of cultivation is really much higher than that of ordinary people, Liu Yating thought silently in her heart.
After taking a few sips of tea carefully, Master Wu Neng showed a satisfied expression, and then he continued slowly: "As for the idea of the small donor, I very much agree. As the saying goes, saving one life is better than making seven. Moreover, this matter will not cause any loss to me or the temple, so I have no reason to refuse!"
"Then thank you so much, Master, for being able to help us solve this matter. I think Wang Ran will definitely be very happy with your help, Master."
Liu Yating reacted instantly when she heard Wu Neng's words. She drank the tea in her cup in one gulp and then said her thanks with a smile. She is originally a girl with relatively reserved emotions. Even when she says words of gratitude, she does so in a reserved way and doesn't say anything particularly touching!
"Xiao Dao has thanked Master here first. I think if Master takes action, he can definitely help Wang Ran get rid of a lot of karma, and Wang Ran will naturally suffer a lot less. But Xiao Dao, I also owe Master a favor this time. In the future If there is anything that the mage needs me to do, please just let me know!"
Seeing Liu Yating's happy look, Xiaodao was filled with emotion. If she had come here on her own, she would probably have what she thought. But now that he is here, you need to act in accordance with the rules of the cultivation world. If someone helps you solve a problem, then you need to do another favor for them.
Hearing Xiaodao's words, Wu Neng also had a smile on his face. He filled the two of them with tea again, and his movements were still very natural. In fact, Wu Neng also wanted to form a good relationship with Xiaodao, because in his induction, he or the temple would definitely need Xiaodao's help in the future.
In fact, many eminent monks and powerful masters know some prediction-type Buddhist teachings. In fact, this is very similar to Taoism. When their cultivation reaches a certain level, they will have some sense of future crises. That's why Wu Neng thought this way, but even if Xiaodao didn't come, he would directly agree. Although for him, salvation is a bit energy-consuming, it is not that difficult.
"Actually, being able to form a good relationship with a small Taoist donor is a big gain today. In today's society, there are really not many young people who can cultivate peacefully. So when I meet you, a small Taoist donor, I am still a poor monk. I'm very happy, how about you show us some of your Taoist magic, the poor monk has not been exposed to Taoist magic for many years, and I really don't want to miss this opportunity today!"
As expected, Xiaodao is now more certain of his thoughts. The other party wants to see what he is capable of, but Xiaodao also knows that even if he does not satisfy the other party, Wu Neng will still continue to do this. of. But now that he has met a real eminent monk, it is okay to let him see what he is capable of. In the world of cultivation, strength is the last word. As long as he is strong enough, he may be his back-up here in the future.
"Of course. I want to go down to the world this time to train myself, and at the same time, I can communicate with people of the same profession, so that I can make rapid progress. Then I will show you my talisman method. This is my best If you are good at it, please ask the mage to give you some advice!"
After Xiaodao finished speaking, he slowly stood up and walked out of the side hall, so the group of people, led by Wu Neng, arrived at a large open space in the temple. This is a square in Wuchen Temple, and there are many monks exercising here and practicing Buddhist physical training techniques.
Seeing the bustle here, Xiaodao really likes this place. The atmosphere for practicing here is really good. For Xiaodao, this place is much better than those high-rise buildings. In addition, the environment here is also very beautiful and it is a holy place for cultivation, so his mood improved unconsciously at this time.
"Donor, I don't know how you want to show it. Is this a suitable place?" Looking at Xiaodao's smiling face, you can tell that he is in a good mood at this time, so Wu Neng speaks more naturally.
Liu Yating also discovered that Xiaodao was in a really good mood now, and even felt that he liked this place a little bit, so Liu Yating became confused. Could it be that Xiaodao wants to come here to become a monk? Does he want to be a monk? As she thought about it, Liu Yating's eyes changed. How should I put it, it seemed that she was worried and confused.
Looking at the trail, he felt that something was wrong. He didn't even have time to answer Wu Neng's words, so he quickly arranged his clothes, touched his face with his hands, and finally messed with his hair, as if he was afraid that it was him. He was dirty to let Liu Yating look at him like this.
"Sister Yating! Is there something on my face? You look at me like this, and I feel your eyes are a little weird. What are you thinking!"
"Well...well...I'm not thinking about anything, I'm just...thinking..."
Liu Yating was still thinking about whether Xiaodao should become a monk just now, and because she cared more about this issue, she thought more focused. Suddenly asked by Xiaodao, she answered before she could react, so she was thinking of excuses while talking.
"Sister Yating, this is not like you. You can't talk to me if you have anything to say. As for why you still have to do this!" Xiaodao became even more curious. This hesitating look is not Liu Yating's style. She usually doesn't do this. Such.
"Actually, it's nothing. It's okay. Let's keep walking." Liu Yating said sheepishly. Even a fool could tell at this time that she had something to say that she was embarrassed to say. Just by looking at her appearance, it was quite a big deal.
"The more you act like this, the less confident I feel. Sister Yating, if you have anything to say, don't hold back, just say it directly!"
"Okay, I'll just say it, but don't be angry. I just found out that you actually like this place. I thought... I thought you... wanted to become a monk. Do you really want to be a monk? Are you done?"
After hearing Liu Yating's words, she originally planned to continue following Wuneng's path forward, but her left foot stumbled over her right foot, almost causing a dog to eat shit! Xiaodao even wondered if he had heard wrongly. How could such a passionate man like him want to become a monk? What is going on in Liu Yating’s little head!
"Are you... okay? Just be careful and don't fall again!"
Liu Yating found that Xiaodao almost fell, so she hurried over to help him and spoke a little awkwardly. After all, she was a little embarrassed for saying such things, which made her seem to be afraid of becoming a nun.
"My sister Yating, how could I become a monk? I wouldn't become a monk with a sister like you! I just like the atmosphere of practicing here, and the environment here is also good. It is a good place to practice."
Xiaodao answered Liu Yating's words dumbfounded. He didn't know whether he should be angry or happy. He was angry because how could she miss him like this, and happy because he heard that Liu Yating was very worried that he would cheat on him. .
