Lu Jing's staff skills and weapons all came from Master Honglian, and in order to find the true meaning of the Crazy One Hundred and Eight Staffs, he also did a lot of research on the life of this eminent Buddhist monk.
Naturally, it is not surprising that the opportunity for Master Honglian to enter Buddhism was when he heard monks from the temple next door singing sutras when he was young.
However, Master Honglian's home is in Yizhou, so most people subconsciously think that the temple where he listened to sutras when he was young is also in Yizhou.
Even the name of the temple was passed down like a nose and eyes.
But now it seems that Master Honglian first became associated with Buddhism not in his hometown, but in Huzhou, thousands of miles away.
And it's in this small Ganquan Temple.
As for how he, a blind man, got here, Lu Jing didn't know.
He may have been brought here by his family to seek medical advice, he may have come here to seek refuge with relatives, or he may have traveled here with an elder in his family.
In short, Master Honglian did stay in the private house next to Ganquan Temple when he was a boy.
In this way, the handwriting he carved on the wall would make sense.
Lu Jing said to Zhan Zhi, "Master, can you lend me the razor?"
"Of course." Zhanzhi didn't doubt anything else, and he readily handed over the razor in his hand, and then said kindly, "This knife is heavier than an ordinary razor, and it is extremely sharp. Master Lu, be careful not to be struck by the blade." Cut to the finger.”
Lu Jingding nodded, but judging from his appearance, he didn't take Zhanzhi's words to heart. He just held the razor in his hand casually, and even touched the blade with the pad of his index finger. .
As a result, the old monk heard a faint golden sound coming from the intersection between Lu Jing's finger and the blade, but there was not even a trace of blood on Lu Jing's fingertip.
Just when Zhanzhi was secretly frightened, he heard Lu Jing say, "This knife should be worth a few dollars, why didn't you pawn it for me, Master?"
Zhanzhi blushed, "Well... I don't exchange everything for money. Besides, this razor is one of the few things left by my master. If I pawn it, uh, it's not like that." No, but it’s definitely a time when all the monks in the temple are starving to death.”
"Master is quite honest."
"People are always more important than things. This is what my master taught me."
Zhanzhi is not a fool. Before contacting Lu Jing, he asked him about Master Honglian. He also guessed something, paused and said, "Master Lu came to the temple just to find this razor, right?"
"That's right." Lu Jing had already roughly inspected the razor in his hand, and there was nothing unusual about its appearance.
But Lu Jing was not in a hurry. Based on the experience of the Zen staff, he estimated that Master Honglian might have hidden the secret of the true solution in the razor.
So Lu Jing planned to go to the Jietie Gang for help, but in this case, it would be difficult to keep the razor.
Lu Jing looked at Zhan Zhi, but before he spoke, the latter seemed to have seen through his mind and said, "In that case, I will give this razor to Master Lu. It can also be regarded as repaying Master Lu for his help for the temple." The grace of relief.”
Lu Jing heard the words and did not refuse, "This thing is indeed very important to me, but after all, it is a relic left by the respected master... Let's do this, master, you tell me the number, and I will convert it into silver to compensate you."
Zhanzhi seemed to be quite moved when he heard this, but in the end he spit out a number that shocked Lu Jing, "Then... fifty taels."
"Isn't this a little too little?" Lu Jing said, "Master, you don't have to be polite to me. Feel free to make a bold offer. It's hard to say anything else, but I can still meet the money requirements."
Lu Jing had just received another two hundred thousand taels of silver into his account, and he spoke much more forcefully.
However, Zhanzhi smiled bitterly and said, "I don't want to ask for more money unless it's me. The key is that this temple is too small and these are extraordinary times. Too much money will not only not allow us to survive the crisis, but it will easily attract other people." Disaster.
"What happened before is a lesson to the past. If you hadn't helped me, Master Lu, my disciple Dushan would have been exposed to blood this time, and the ten taels of silver would have been robbed by Li Hu again.
"Besides, fifty taels, plus the ten taels you donated before, Mr. Lu, is already a large amount for us. If we save a little, it will be enough for the monks in the temple for a year or two, and this is almost This is also the most money our temple can accept now.”
Lu Jing was really impressed by Zhan Zhi this time. This old monk was greedy for money, but what was rare was that he could remain sober while being greedy for money.
I know what money I can and cannot ask for. It’s hard to say whether I’m good or bad in Buddhism, but I do have a very clear view of the world.
So Lu Jing stopped trying to persuade him, took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to Zhan Zhi, then accepted the razor.
Afterwards, he asked Master Zhanzhi Honglian if he had left anything else. After receiving a negative answer, Lu Jing searched the unfinished parts of the temple. Seeing that he found nothing, he said goodbye and left Ganquan Temple.
At this point, his trip to Huzhou has been successfully concluded.
However, Lu Jing did not rush back to Wenjiazhuang. Instead, he went to the Duobao Pavilion branch in Fengxing County and spent five hundred taels of silver to buy an eighth-level martial arts school whose real name was Yi Qi Jin.
This martial art is labeled as a palm technique by Duobao Pavilion, but in fact it is practiced both internally and externally. When you reach the third level, you can develop internal strength. If the practitioner does not have internal strength cultivation, it is equivalent to spending a penny. I bought two copies of Children's Martial Arts, which was quite a bargain.
What's more important is that Yi Qi Jin is the same as Lu Jing's Little King Kong Jin. It is quite righteous and peaceful. Even if you practice it slowly, you won't have any big problems.
Then Lu Jing secretly returned to Ganquan Temple in the middle of the night, and used the secret room sound transmission technique to call Du Neng and let him come to the outskirts of the city.
Lu Jing handed him the secret book of Yiqi Jin, and then casually gave him a few tips on cultivation, and then drifted away under the moon. He was really addicted to the wine and sword fairy.
After getting the razor, Lu Jing had no intention of staying in Huzhou anymore. That night he and Wen Xiaochuan returned to the academy with the gift that Aunt Wen had prepared for him.
After putting down his things, Lu Jing took the razor and went straight to Chi's residence. As he expected, Chi didn't sleep at this time and was still making a short knife in high spirits.
Lu Jing greeted her and told her that the money was almost collected.
Chi snorted. She didn't look happy, but rather disappointed. However, after hearing Lu Jing's explanation of her purpose, she still happily called out the iron.
A razor that was over a foot long was swallowed into his stomach like a piece of corn sausage, and then Lu Jing saw something like a key in the pile of feces it pulled out.
