Entertainment of Spring and Autumn

Chapter 239: Never mind the sword and Tathagata

The fast meal is very simple. There is a small dining hall next to the abbot's courtyard. There are several old monks of Yuan Zhong's generation. When they see Xue Mu, they all whisper the Buddha's name and simply salute. Obviously they know who this is, but they are obviously not interested. No desire to communicate. After all, there is a difference between good and evil, and words should not be speculated. They can maintain basic etiquette because Xue Mu represents the six doors this time.

Xue Mu didn't bother to deal with them. He just observed them briefly and didn't look any further.

Wujiu Temple is a top-level temple. Of course, there are more than just a few senior monks. Senior warriors do not need to eat every day, or there are many people working outside, and only a small part can be seen here. It's such a small number, each one has the faint light of Buddha, and at the lowest level has the aura of Taoism. The terrifying background of a powerful sect cannot be seen just by looking at it in the dining hall. There is really no need to worry too much.

During the dinner, Xue Mu didn't talk much about anything else. He just briefly told the whole story of the robbery and the Demon Sect's willingness to participate in the martial arts debate.

Yuan Zhong said: "Yesterday Shi Lei, my nephew, came to see me and told me about this matter. My opinion is unanimous. It is not appropriate for the Demon Sect to participate in the martial arts debate. If we start a new competition, we can discuss it."

Xue Mu breathed a sigh of relief: "It would be easier if you agree to this. I'm afraid you won't agree to anything, then it will be a bit difficult for me to do my job."

Yuan Zhong smiled: "Even if I just want to give Mr. Xue some face, I have to agree."

Xue Mu smiled and said, "Am I really so proud?"

"From today, there will be." Yuan Zhong said meaningfully: "What's more... maybe not only the Xingyue Sect will be restrained and changed in the hands of General Manager Xue, I can look forward to the changes in the entire Demon Sect. If this day really comes, Xue It is not an exaggeration for the manager to say that he is a man of virtue who has benefited the whole world."

Xue Mu laughed: "I told you monks, don't talk nonsense all the time, and talk about the business, okay? My personal suggestion is to do it on August 15th, the night of the full moon, at the top of the good and evil, and the location is On overseas islands, what do you think, Master?"

Yuan Zhong pondered for a moment: "There is a certain artistic conception. It just happens to be separated for a while, so that people can prepare."

Xue Mu felt relieved: "Then I'll talk to Xu Jing again. If nothing else happens, the matter will probably be settled."

Don't blame Xue Mu for being a little impatient. He had too much to do, and he really wasn't in the mood to continue talking nonsense with Yuan Zhong, and he didn't have the leisure to enjoy this vegetarian meal that was supposed to be a good one.

It's troublesome enough that the girls over there can't even handle it. In the battle between good and evil, he still needs to continue to use pimps as middlemen. The bickering between the two sides is really annoying. Fortunately, this is not his primary concern. He can delay the time deliberately and Guan Xujing will die of anxiety. At present, there is still a few days of buffer time for the discussion of martial arts in the world, so it can be put aside.

On the contrary, the cause of this plague turned out to be his own hybrid toxin. This change was unexpected, and it would be a pain in the neck if he didn't understand it clearly.

Yuan Zhong knew that he had taken the initiative to separate the toxin and gave it to Chen Qianzhen, which meant that he did not want to use it to harm anyone, otherwise it would be impossible to expose his toxin properties, let alone be studied by others, so Yuan Zhong did not suspect that it was him. This is a eminent monk from Yuanzhong who is reasonable and reasonable, but not everyone is so reasonable. What’s more, he does have the motive of revenge against Wujiu Temple. If others really want to think that he is the culprit, it will really make the yellow mud fall out of his crotch. There is no way to explain it. .

Thinking of this, he had no intention of continuing to argue with Yuan Zhong, so he left the table and said: "Since the master has given me such respect, Xue's mission here has come to an end. Now Xue still wants to go to the plague area for a quick walk. See Let’s see if there’s anything I can do to help.”

This was so true that some old monks nearby who had been too lazy to pay attention to him were in awe when they heard it. They all thought that he was thinking about the common people and declared the Buddha's name together: "Good, good..."

Only Yuan Zhong knew what Xue Mu was worried about. He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll give you two a ride."

…

Halfway down the mountain, I met a young man coming up the mountain angrily. When he saw Yuan Zhong, he hurriedly said: "Master! Master! I have been looking for you for several days, and finally I'm waiting for you!"

"Amitabha." Yuan Zhong said with an expression of resentment: "If you are so angry and frustrated, where is your practice?"

Then he introduced Xue Mu: "This son's name is Liu Danshui, and he is the young master of Wanzang Bookstore. He has been close to Buddhism since he was a child, and I like him very much. He became a half-disciple the year before last, and he has been hoping that he can go to the mountains to practice. .”

Bookstore... Xue Mu's heart moved. I almost forgot that I still have "Journey to the West" that I haven't released yet. I can't let Ying Yi take over all the good things. Yuan Zhong will definitely be very interested in this book. You can still do it when you have free time...

Liu Danshui regained his breath, and first greeted Xue Mu and Yuan Zhong, and then said to Yuan Zhong: "Master, a few months ago I asked you for a letter, and you wrote me a word of fate. But, but... He stamped his feet angrily: "But that word is useless. Huaying still thinks that I ask Buddha all the time, and she said that if I continue like this, I will cut her off!"

Yuan Zhong asked curiously: "Yuan? What fate?"

"The words you wrote for me!"

"But what I wrote for my teacher was in green..."

"Pfft..." Xue Mu almost stopped laughing.

Liu Danshui was stunned for a long time and said helplessly: "Master, how can this disciple maintain this relationship?"

Yuan Zhong didn't answer, but pointed to the top of the mountain from where he came.

Liu Danshui wondered: "Master, could it be that there is another master on the mountain who can answer this question?"

Yuan Zhong said: "What I said is that there is still room on the mountain. Why don't you go and become a monk?"

This time even Mu Jianli laughed, and Xue Mu was even more happy.

The old monk wants this boy to practice with him, so if he comes to him to ask for marriage, of course he will only get all kinds of abductions... But is it really okay for you to be so funny to your apprentice? What about your image as a high monk?

It seemed that Yuan Zhong was originally a humorous old monk. The reason why he had so serious conversations with me before was because of his sensitive identity, the attributes of the Demon Sect, the "enemy coming to the door", and the fact that he represented the six sects. He was not serious. It is easy to cause diplomatic problems. Now that everything has come to an end, the monk's funny attributes will be released.

Yuan Zhong said helplessly to Xue Mu: "Manager Xue, don't laugh. This son has a very deep connection with Buddhism and a thorough understanding of the Dharma, but he is obsessed with the mortal world. It is a pity."

Xue Mu stood up and said, "I want to pass on the family business. How can you force someone to become a monk like you?"

Yuan Zhong shook his head: "There are more than a dozen brothers in his family, how can he be missing to pass on the family business? He is just obsessed with the relationship between men and women, entangled in love, and can't let it go and can't understand it."

Xue Mu made a "cut" sound.

Yuan Zhong was too lazy to pay attention to him.

This is the real difference between the two of them, and there is no need to argue.

Liu Danshui said with a bitter face: "Master, I don't know what to do. If I listen to her, but I am afraid of damaging my practice, I want to bite the bullet, but I really can't let her go..."

Xue Mu stroked his palm and said: "Good poem, good poem!"

Everyone was stunned. Mu Jianli couldn't help but tug at the corners of his clothes and said angrily, "Why are you mocking me so well?"

Xue Mu smiled and said, "This is really poetry. Don't you believe I can translate it for you?"

Mu Jianli held her sword and smiled: "Let's see what you can say."

Xue Mu clapped his hands with a fan and chanted softly: "I was worried that being passionate would harm my holy life, and I was afraid that I would fall in love with you when I entered the mountains. In this world, I have peace and security, and I will live up to the Tathagata and I will live up to you."

Everyone was stunned, is this really possible? It was just an ordinary entanglement at first, but once it was exaggerated, why did it taste completely different?

After all, Liu Tamsui was born in a bookstore and was quite discerning. He said happily: "Brother, was this poem given to me?"

"What a beautiful idea!" Xue Mu rolled his eyes at him, turned to Mu Jianli, and smiled slightly: "I should have given it to you a long time ago, and now it's just the right time to lend it to you by borrowing flowers and offering it to Buddha."

Mu Jianli was already stunned there.

No wonder the world's great roads lead to the same destination through different paths. It turns out that her way of asking swords can also find reference here.

At that time, the extreme conflict between sword and love, the confusion of energy and blood that almost went crazy, and the dilemma of having both peace and security are vivid in my mind and unforgettable. In fact, she has not solved this dilemma now. She puts love before the sword. If things go on like this, being obsessed with love will really not do any good for the practice of swordsmanship. For example, in the past few days, she had been thinking about Xue Mu, who had never practiced a single sword move or realized the sword's intention for a moment. Even if she started practicing, it would be difficult to be as focused as before.

Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Everyone understands this truth. After some time, her sword may not be as sharp as it is now.

Peace in the world is the best of both worlds!

But this is her choice, and she will never regret it.

No regrets, no regrets, a girl trapped in the quagmire of love will eventually have a little entanglement in her heart - from Xue Mu's perspective, she almost flies into the flames with a finger, she chooses, she has no regrets, she gives up How much, will Xue Mu know? Will he take her difficult choices seriously? If you just take everything for granted and are at your fingertips, will you not cherish it?

Xue Mu was responding clearly: I know your choice, and I will always remember your dedication.

Mu Jianli raised her head slightly and looked at Xue Mu's warm smile with misty eyes. She really felt that everything was worth it.

Yuan Zhong and Liu Danshui stood aside and watched, both of them looking speechless.

The romance came to a Buddhist temple, and the most powerful Buddhist abbot in the world and his disciples became the background for lovers to look at each other. Especially when Liu Danshui recognized that it was the sword fairy Mu Jianli, he couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said: "Brother, if your ideals conflict with the beauty, how do you choose?"

Xue Mu said casually: "I have a beautiful lady by my side, don't worry about the sword and Tathagata!"

Liu Danshui almost cried. He originally wanted to make things difficult, but instead he turned into a deeper confession. Looking at the sword fairy, his eyes almost turned to water. Did he assist?

Yuan Zhong let out a long sigh: "So Danshui, do you have someone like Xue Sheng who is a good person? There is no one of this level, so why are you looking for a marriage? It's better to just follow me up the mountain and become a monk."

Liu Danshui burst into tears: "It turns out he is Sanhao Xue Sheng, and the disciple is convinced."
