Chapter 225 Sword Qi and Xiao Xin
(12)

When the fake seems real, the real is also fake. The most powerful deception in the world can deceive itself.

The old abbot has been sticking to the temple for decades, and he almost never leaves the temple unless it is necessary for official business to give lectures to nobles in the dynasty.Unexpectedly, an unknown little girl would find out her identity, which not only ruined her face, but also put the future and fate of the monastery and monks on it.

"If it is true that the group of officials know that the abbot of the temple was once a thief who blocked the way, what should we do?"

The old abbot was sitting in front of the desk, holding the Buddhist scriptures in his hand, squinting his eyes, his mind wandering between the lines, as if traveling through time and space, suddenly remembering the past.

He can't remember his own name now, because he doesn't have a name.For as long as he can remember, he has been stealing and robbing in the streets and alleys of the town.When he was a teenager, his companions saw that he had a pair of big ears, so they nicknamed him "Big Ear Thief".It wasn't until he met a wandering monk that he got his current dharma name - "empty self".

While meditating for a while, suddenly there were several heavy knocks on the door outside the meditation room. Monk Kongwo just woke up from his fugue, and shouted to the visitors outside the door: "Come in!"

The person who came was a young monk, probably in his early twenties, about the same age as the young swordsman.He walked forward, plopped down on the ground, and said helplessly, "Old abbot, what are you looking for? I have been working hard these days, and I have never thought of stealing anyone's property again! "

"Liu Aqi, have you ever said something about the old monk in secret?" Monk Kongwo asked.

"I don't, absolutely not!" Liu Aqi bowed again and again, kowtowed several times, and said again: "Abbot, you treat me like a second-born parent, how can I be ungrateful?"

"Then do you know why the old monk keeps you in the temple and shaves you himself?"

"The villain is terrified... the villain is stupid... the villain doesn't know! The villain killed someone by mistake outside. If the old abbot can't keep me, then the villain really has no choice but to die!"

"It's because you let me see my former self... When I was your age, I was just a gangster who was wanted by the government. But on the way to escape, I met a wandering monk who said that he was He was a farmer who had sold all his belongings to get a certificate of proof. He was about to go to the temple to practice. At that time, my six roots were not clean. Seeing that the monk was born weak, I took advantage of his unpreparedness and snatched the certificate of proof. Inside the temple, avoid being chased."

Liu Aqi was extremely shocked by this, and replied: "Old abbot, don't you want to keep this secret in your heart all the time, and don't let others know?"

"Among the young monks in this temple, only you know. The remaining three old monks are entrusted by the former abbot, and they will always keep this secret in their hearts."

Monk Kongwo put down the scriptures in his hand, walked up to Liu Aqi and called him up, and then said: "The former abbot knew that I was a person who committed all kinds of evil, but he finally decided to hand over the temple to me. When he was dying, he said, 'Only Kongwo Monk, so that the temple does not have to be destroyed in the flames of war.” So, in order to thank the old abbot for his kindness and patronage, I have been pretending to be an eminent monk——go up to the officials, go down to appease the hearts of the people, and try my best to keep the temple. After that, I thought After a long time, I finally understood why.”

"Why?"

"Alas! Empty talk about Buddhism, how can you resist the burning fire? Most monks seldom communicate with outsiders all their lives, and they don't understand the world at all." Monk Kongwo mourned, and said: "After many years of practice, I thought I was about to forget everything. Duanchen Yuan. Unexpectedly, today the little girl was turned over again!"

"Little girl? But who are the guests that the old abbot invited here today?" Liu Aqi thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that the old abbot wants me to go and persuade them, and let them know that this matter is related to the survival of the temple?"

"No, old man, as long as you pay more attention to them when you are doing things, come and tell me immediately if there is anything unusual. Remember, don't make trouble." After the monk Kongwo said, he returned to his seat and kept flipping through the pages. Read the Buddhist scriptures, trying to find a solution to the problem from it, and at the same time, prepare for the next time I face the pilgrims at the lotus platform.

Monk Kongwo sat in the meditation room for a whole day, and often fell asleep while sitting on the Buddhist felt.But tonight, he couldn't sleep at all, and the secret that had troubled the abbot of the monastery for many years was still a knot in the end.

"From the current point of view, the only way seems to be to agree to the girl's request. But who knows what she will do?"

Questions like these resurfaced in this old head again and again.

The bean-shaped lampstand was burning dimly, getting smaller and smaller as time went by.After a while, there was noise and commotion outside the door.

Liu Aqi seemed to have done something wrong, he was caught by his brother, and he was grabbed by the clothes behind his back and taken to Monk Kongwo's meditation room.

"Old abbot, this new junior brother is really naughty. He was stealing the property of fellow disciples and pilgrims before, and I caught him just now, and he was actually peeking at the female benefactor in the temple to take a bath!"

"Oh?"

"Old abbot, I know I was wrong! This is not your order. When I was cleaning the courtyard, I heard an inexplicable singing voice from the bathroom. It was the girl's voice. I remember that she often chanted Buddhist scriptures in the wing room. ! Then, I sneaked a few glances..."

"Still talking? You shameless bastard!" The brother was about to slap his face, but let Monk Kong Wo stop.

"Stop it, let go of Liu Aqi first, and let me ask."

Liu Aqi was thrown on the ground, bowed his head deeply, and muttered: "This is not... the first time I see a girl's body, I will inevitably feel curious..."

Monk Kongwo saw that he was still defending himself, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "My child, what did you see?"

"I saw that Mrs. Xiang was pitifully thin, as if she had only a pair of bones left! The maids who dress her are pretty nice, but they are not as good-looking as the girl who sings! Unexpectedly, she usually wears The veil actually hides such a beautiful face!"

Seeing Liu Aqi speak vividly, the senior brother was furious, kicked him again, and then said to the abbot, "Old abbot, how can such a pervert stay in the monastery?"

"I'm not a prostitute!" Liu Aqi continued to argue.

"Hahaha, it seems that what Mrs. Xiang said is true, they do have difficulties."

"Abbot?" Liu Aqi was puzzled and asked, "What difficulties do you think those girls have?"

"They are the same as us. Because of special reasons, they had to destroy their appearance, so they got this opportunity to pray in the temple!"

After listening to the two disciples in front of the meditation room, the old abbot waved his hand happily, as if the boulder stuck in his chest disappeared in an instant, he happily let Liu Aqi come to his side, gave him the corresponding punishment, and calmed down the fighting between their brothers , this interesting incident just got a good result.
