Chapter 523 The Abnormal Old Monk

Chapter 523 The Abnormal Old Monk

A gloomy sky, covered with a layer of dark clouds.

It seems that a gust of wind can blow it away, but in fact it hangs over everyone's heart.

The antique Bronze Buddha Temple is different from the majestic main hall. It is located in a secluded side hall. There is such a wooden Buddha statue made of brass, which is as tall as a person, and the whole body is light brown.

The dharma is solemn, and the palm of the hand holds the Buddha seal of the Buddha of the third generation - the Buddha of the present world.

In front of the wooden Buddha, three sticks of incense are inserted into the incense burner that is about to be filled with incense ash.

Thick and thin as a thumb, one of the sticks of brown incense seems to burn very fast, which is completely different from the other two sticks.

And behind the incense burner, on the dilapidated futon, sat a thin, almost skinny old monk.

The old monk put one hand on his chest, and clasped a string of non-existent Buddhist beads with the other hand. With his lips moving up and down, he seemed to be reciting the scriptures silently.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a sound from behind, barefoot stepping on the bluestone floor, the lower body was a pair of loose denim pants, the calf muscles looked very strong, and the upper body was a very ordinary Dior white shirt.

The neckline was open, exposing muscles as hard as marble, and in the misty drizzle, the jet-black hair was covered with a layer of rain dew.

Leaning his back against the edge of the side hall door, Chen Changqing subconsciously pushed the gold-rimmed glasses, and then realized that his pair of gold-rimmed glasses had been swept away by the lake, and the corners of his mouth could not help but feel helpless.

He shook his head, leaning against the edge of the door like this, the sandalwood in the air made people feel comfortable, as if there was a magical power to make this smell stimulate the nerves of the brain, thus making people comfortable.

Looking at the old monk who was chanting sutras in the side hall, Chen Changqing's eyes flickered, but he didn't know what he was thinking.

Time passed quickly, the old monk who was studying his homework stopped chanting sutras, his skinny, chicken-like palms stopped, and as his eyes opened, they were a pair of clear eyes that were completely opposite to his age:
"Benefactor, I'm sorry, there is only one monk in the temple, the old monk, so the donor has been waiting for a long time."

Chen Changqing shook his head and looked at the lush old bodhi tree outside the side hall. Although it is not as good as the old bodhi tree in the main hall, it is also lush with foliage and full of vitality. The huge rhizome looks like an earth dragon rolling under the green bricks. Exposing the thick roots:
"It's okay, just watch the rain. I have to say, master, the environment here is really good."

During the waiting just now, Chen Changqing discovered a very interesting thing.

The layout of the side hall is actually not too different from the main hall. There is a bodhi tree in these two places. If there is any difference, it is probably a more gorgeous one, with carved dragons and painted buildings, solemn Dharma appearance, huge bronze Buddha and incense burner. .

The other one looks much more shabby.

Of course, ordinary people can't see this, because compared with other rooms, the side hall where the old monk lives has one more Buddha statue, an incense burner, and a bodhi tree, but correspondingly, other rooms have pavilions and ponds.

But Chen Changqing didn't think so. He always felt that the ancient bodhi tree in front of him was abnormal. After all, in the entire Copper Buddha Temple, except for the bodhi tree in the main hall, only the side hall had a bodhi tree.

The old monk shook his head and looked at Chen Changqing with clear eyes:
"If the benefactor likes it, the old monk can give it to the benefactor."

Subconsciously touched his chin, looked at the surrounding environment, Chen Changqing finally waved his hand:

"Forget it, I'm just a layman, and the environment here is not suitable for me."

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the old monk in front of him:
"Does the master know where Nagarjuna is?"

The old monk nodded, his eyes were very frank:
"I know, I have lived here all my life, and I know everything that happens in the temple."

Chen Changqing's eyes flickered, and then he asked:
"In that case, can Master tell me where Nagarjuna is?"

The old monk's expression froze, he looked at Chen Changqing in front of him, felt the sharpness of the other's eyes, and finally sighed helplessly, with a sad look: "On the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, Nagarjuna will naturally appear in the temple, the benefactor Since you already know, why bother the poor monk again?"

Chen Changqing shrugged, he chuckled lightly:
"That's what I said, but people's hearts are separated from each other, what if they are deceived?"

Looking up at Chen Changqing, the old monk's eyes flickered:
"If there is nothing else, the poor monk will go back to his room to chant scriptures first."

After finishing speaking, the old monk clasped his hands together, bowed to Chen Changqing, and then turned back to the room.

Leaving from the side hall, not far away, I saw Tashi Liqi wearing a floral dress and holding a handful of lotus leaves in the light rain, sitting bored on the threshold, looking at Raindrops dripping from the eaves.

And after seeing Chen Changqing?

As if knowing the process of the conversation, he threw away the lotus, and Tashi Liqi patted his clean little white hands:

"Look, I said it's unnecessary, those foreign devils dare not lie to you."

Looking up at Tashi Liqi, Chen Changqing shook his head:

"Foreign devils dare not lie to me, but others may not."

Zhaxi Liqi froze for a moment, followed by a frown of Liu Mei, and looked at Chen Changqing in surprise:
"what do you mean?"

Chen Changqing didn't answer, but asked instead: "Don't you think it's strange? The Bronze Buddha Temple is so big, obviously you haven't seen many incense burners, but you can smell incense everywhere."

This sentence made Tashi Liqi fall into deep thought, carefully recalling the passage of time, which made her expression a little more strange:
"You mean the old monk has a problem?"

Is there a problem?

To be honest, Chen Changqing was not sure either.

But it is certain that the old monk of Copper Buddha Temple must be abnormal, at least he can never be just an ordinary old monk.

What kind of place is this? It's Zhenlongyu!

Not to mention ordinary people, strong men like Zhuge Gen who are only one step away from the master can only pick up the leaks on the outside and go a little deeper, whether it is the black thorns, or the green reeds, or the river. dragon carp.

These have nothing to do with the word "ordinary".

On February [-]nd of the lunar calendar, Dragon Tree will appear in Tongfo Temple, which means that this is the core area of ​​Zhenlongyu.

Anyone with a little common sense knows that the deeper you go into Zhenlong domain, the more dangerous it is.

As for the Copper Buddha Temple in the core area, how could it be possible that there is only one ordinary old monk who is powerless?
The incense that pervades the entire Copper Buddha Temple is actually secondary.

What really made Chen Changqing feel abnormal was the old monk's incompatibility with the surrounding environment. It was like a rabbit strayed into a pack of wolves. Instead of being eaten, it seized the position of wolf king.

In addition, there may be a few who can reach the Copper Buddha Temple, but most of them are human spirits, otherwise it is impossible to reach this level.

But even so, for such a long time, everyone subconsciously ignored the old monk's question, which made Chen Changqing feel incredible, especially Tashi Liqi, in his impression, the other party's sensitivity was not inferior to his own .

A faint wisp of sandalwood lingered on the tip of the nose, and Chen Changqing's eyes flickered:

"Maybe I think too much, by the way, do you have your mobile phone?"
