Xiao He slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of light came into his eyes. He blinked hard, and then he saw that he was in the alchemy room that he was all too familiar with. At this moment, an old monk was looking at him with a kind face.
He looked at it again, and then realized that it was the eminent monk he met in the Black Wood Forest. Xiao He quickly stood up and knelt down to worship.
The old monk waved his hand, helped Xiao He sit down next to him, and said, "Little layman, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!"
"Yes! The last time I said goodbye to the eminent monk, I have always admired him in my heart. My master, Diaman, once searched for the eminent monk in the black wood forest." Xiao He replied respectfully.
"Haha, that crazy demon can be considered a layman with good connections with Buddha!" said the old monk.
Xiao He added: "I didn't expect that when we meet again, the eminent monk would become my savior!"
The old monk smiled again and said: "Buddha's teachings are meant to save people. You don't need to take it to heart, little layman. When we said goodbye last time, I felt that I would see you again. In just a few years, wouldn't it be like this again? We have met, little layman, how about you tell me about your experiences in the past few years?"
Hearing what the old monk said, Xiao He stopped saying words of thanks and slowly began to talk about his experiences after killing the silver dragon that day.
At this moment, not only Xingyu, Liao Kong, Tianyanzi and others were waiting at the door, but they also learned that a Shaolin monk was coming, and all the seven Guiyanfeng disciples were here. Especially when Tianyanzi said that the person who came was an eminent monk from the Ran Deng lineage, Qizi felt even more admiration in his heart, not only because of this old monk and eminent Buddhist monk, but also because of the current Guiyan Peak. Only the seven of them still remember the origins of their sect and the Ran Deng lineage.
Therefore, the seven of them had been waiting respectfully outside the door without saying a word. Even Tian Jizi, who was always very violent, did not say a word at this moment and quietly stared at the closed door of the alchemy room.
Xingyu and Liao Kong were a little impatient to wait. Looking at the appearance of the seventh son, Liao Kong felt that it was not convenient to talk to the seventh son, so he discussed with Xingyu who was standing aside: "Master has been in here for so long, with his cultivation level , it won’t take so long to save people, right? Could it be that something went wrong?”
Xingyu shook his head and said, "I don't know what's going on inside!"
The two of them were already anxious, and after waiting for a long time, they lost their patience. Xingyu wanted to knock on the door several times, but for fear of disturbing the eminent monk, he walked to the door and raised his hand but held back. After repeating this for many times, he couldn't wait any longer and asked Tianyanzi who was standing quietly: "Master? Has the eminent monk encountered any trouble? How about we go in and have a look?"
Tianyanzi did not look at Xingyu, but still stood respectfully, looking at the door of the alchemy room intently, and said flatly: "Be patient and don't be impatient."
In the blink of an eye, the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dyed the Alchemy Peak into gold. At this time, not only Xingyu and Liao Kong became restless, but even the Seventh Son of Guiyan Peak gradually lost their patience, and they began to worry about the situation inside. . Just when everyone was anxious, they suddenly heard bursts of hearty laughter coming from the alchemy room.
Following several bursts of laughter, the door of the alchemy room opened, and the old monk was still saying to Xiao He: "Little layman, I never thought that your experience in the past few years would be more exciting than the poor monk's thousand years!"
Xiao He replied happily: "The holy monk is too modest!"
The old monk replied: "It's not that the humble monk is too modest, it's really the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha. It's very boring, very boring!"
Xiao He added: "This junior is really restless. He can't compare to the saint monk's heart, which is as still as water."
The old monk said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, traveling around the world is also a kind of life!"
Xiao He replied: "It is indeed a good experience to wantonly the world. It's just that I have only practiced for a few years and have already walked through the gate of hell two or three times."
"Brother Xiao He, what's wrong with you!" At this time, Brother Liao Kong rushed over and interrupted their conversation.
"The eminent monk's Dharma is profound, and I am no longer in trouble. I just had such a good time chatting with the eminent monk that I forgot about the time." Xiao He replied with a smile.
"Are you really okay?" Xingyu also came over and asked.
"Brother Xingyu, I'm fine!" Xiao He turned to Xingyu again and said.
"Don't call me brother Xingyu anymore. Master has accepted you as his disciple. From now on, we are fellow disciples!" Xingyu said happily.
Xiao He then glanced at Tianyanzi with gratitude, and then found that Tianyanzi was also looking at him with a smile on his face.
"The seven sons of Guiyan Peak pay homage to the eminent Shaolin monks!" At this time, the seven sons of Guiyan Peak, headed by Tian Tongzi, all bowed down together.
"It doesn't have to be like this, everyone, please get up!" The unknown old monk smiled and thanked everyone. He seemed to be unwilling to talk to everyone. He turned to Xiao He and said, "Little layman, this old monk is one step ahead."
"Where is the eminent monk going on this trip?" Xiao He asked with concern.
The old monk shook his head and smiled, and said: "The poor monk has never thought about it, but now that the disciples of the Shaolin Temple know about the existence of the old man, I am afraid that they will cause trouble in the future, and the poor monk will have to hide and relax!"
"But this junior hasn't thanked you for your life-saving grace yet!" Xiao He said sincerely.
The old monk smiled again and said: "It's just a small effort, don't take it seriously. If the young layman really wants to express his gratitude, he will be in trouble in Shaolin someday. I hope the young layman can help!" After that, he turned and walked down the mountain. .
Looking at the old monk's leaving figure, Xiao He shouted loudly: "The holy monk has given instructions from his ears, and the younger generation must keep them in mind!"
"Master!" Liao Kong also shouted in the direction where the old monk left.
At this moment, the unknown old monk had floated down the mountain. As he walked, he said without looking back: "Little apprentice Lingkong, I left something for you on the top of the stupa. After you return to Shaolin, don't forget to take a look. ! You must devote yourself to practice, and there will be successors to my Ran Deng lineage!"
"Disciple, please obey your master's orders!" Liao Kong shouted in the direction where the old monk left.
In this way, the old monk's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight. The seven sons of Guiyanfeng kept looking at the direction in which the old monk was leaving, thinking deeply in their hearts. After a while, Tian Tongzi sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that there are still things in the world. There are eminent monks from the Ran Deng lineage, but I didn’t have time to ask for advice, what a pity!”
Everyone nodded in agreement with what Tian Tongzi said, and even Tian Yanzi showed a hint of regret.
Xingyu and Liao Kong may not know what they mean, but Xiao He understands that the regret mentioned by Tian Tongzi must be because he wants to get some advice from the eminent monk, or to restore the Wudang ancient temple. After all, his master is of the same lineage as Shaolin Randen. They have a long history, and after meeting the eminent monk today, he will definitely want to find another opportunity to renew this fate.
At this moment, except for Tian Tongzi and the other seven who were feeling regretful, Xingyu and Liao Kong were extremely happy about Xiao He's resurrection. Only Xiao He was thinking about something else: when the eminent monk left, he asked him to help if the Shaolin Temple was in trouble. It seemed that he had something to say, as if the Shaolin Temple was about to experience some kind of disaster, and he said this to Kong when he left. Those few words seemed to explain the funeral affairs, which made Xiao He very uneasy. However, Xiao He could not solve the doubts in his heart for a while.
At this time, Tian Tongzi said seriously to Xiao He: "Xiao He, the Shaolin monk brought you back from the dead, which means that your fate is not over. My junior brother Tianyanzi also publicly announced that he will accept you as his disciple. From now on, you will be my Guiyan As a disciple of Feng, you must devote yourself to cultivation, and don’t waste your fortune and everyone’s expectations of you!”
"Disciple knows!" Xiao He replied, with a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant. In fact, in his heart, except for Taoist Tianyanzi, he still had no good impressions of the other six of the seven disciples at this moment.
Hearing what Tian Tongzi said, Tian Jizi stood aside for the first time and remained silent for the first time, as if he had acquiesced to this fact. Tian Tongzi turned to Tian Jizi and said: "Your apprentice Yun Lin, after I heal him, I will let him go back to your Demon Cloud Peak on his own. You don't have to worry. Also, you have to discipline your apprentice well. Now that the fifth junior brother has accepted him as his apprentice, the grudge between your apprentice and him is over! Can you remember that?"
"Senior brother, don't worry, I remember!" Although Tianjizi was extremely violent, he was still very respectful to his senior brother.
After explaining these things, Tian Tongzi and his party left separately. After everyone left, Tianyanzi said: "You three must have a lot to say. Master Kong will stay here today so that you three can catch up with each other!"
Liao Kong thanked him and said, "Thank you, Taoist Priest!"
After saying that, Tianyanzi also left the Alchemy Peak, leaving the three of them behind and walked towards his Xian Pavilion.
After Tianyanzi left, Liao Kong changed his serious look, relaxed, and said to Xiao He: "Brother Xiao He, do you have any good place where we can reminisce about the past?"
"Yes, let's go to the Alchemy Peak!" Xingyu answered first.
At the top of Alchemy Peak, three people were sitting on the ground, with the mountain breeze covering the surface, quite like they were sitting and talking.
Liao Kong smiled slyly, took out a large wine bottle from his arms, and said, "Brother Xiao He, look at what this is?"
Xiao He exclaimed: "Is this the gentleman's wine from Louwailou? How did you get it?"
"After eating Xuanhuang Ginseng here last time, I had to be treated by Taoist Master Tianyanzi before I could leave. When I returned to Shaolin Temple, I stole it from the outer building just so that I could have a drink when I reunited with you. Ichiban!" Liao Kong said.
"Why steal?" Xingyu asked puzzledly.
When Liao Kong heard this, he smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "The poor monk has no money, so he can only steal it!"
Xiao He also laughed and said: "Brother, you can't be deceived by his honest appearance. In fact, he is not an honest monk. He drinks alcohol and eats meat, and never abides by the rules."
Liao Kong replied: "What's the matter? My master is like this too!"
Xiao He said with a smile: "You are such a dishonest monk. You just don't abide by the rules and precepts, but you actually spread rumors to the holy monk!"
"No, no, what the poor monk said is true. I also accidentally discovered the master drinking. The gentleman's wine I stole originally had three large pots, but two of them were snatched away by the master." Liao Kong said seriously.
"Could this be considered one of the training methods of the Ran Deng lineage?" Xiao He said jokingly.
"The young monk doesn't know either. It's just that Master often said that after wine and meat pass through the intestines, the Buddha will remain in his heart." Liao Kong replied.
Xiao He joked again: "The holy monk's Dharma is boundless, the four elements are empty, and he is strong without desire. It's natural to drink. But you, a monk, drink because of your greed. You can't avoid the sin of breaking the precepts!"
Kong Kong scratched his head again. He couldn't defeat Xiao He, so he simply acted cheating and replied: "If you break the precept, you will break the precept. With this fine wine, it is worth punishing me to face the wall for ten years!"
"Hahaha!" Xiao He and Xingyu laughed heartily at the sight of Kong Kong.
