Chapter 21 Going Down the Mountain

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Lu Zhishen seemed to have guessed something after hearing Sun Lei's words.

"I have this idea. I have been in Wutai Mountain for a month. I am not a monk. It is not suitable to live in the temple for a long time. It is time to go down the mountain."

Sun Lei nodded and didn't hide his thoughts. During this period of time, he was used to living in Wenshu Monastery. He practiced martial arts all day long. When he got hungry, he and Lu Zhishen sneaked down the mountain to eat and drink.

It’s a happy day, but it’s not an option. Recently, Sun Lei has discovered that the supervisors, chiefs, and deacons in those monasteries have expressed their intentions to go down the mountain by themselves several times, and Sun Lei knows that he can’t. If he stays in Mount Wutai any longer, he is not a thick-skinned person, so there is no need to keep his mouth shut.

At the beginning, Elder Zhizhen only said to let him stay for a few days. It has been a month. Although Elder Zhizhen has the final say in the monastery, those prison temples, head seats, and deacons also have some rights. It's really hard for the elders.

"Brother, you are so lonely walking around the house!"

Lu Zhishen had a look of reluctance. The month he stayed with Sun Lei was the most satisfying one he had spent since he escaped from Weizhou. He was a lively person, and now he was about to say goodbye, so he was willing to part with it.

"There is always a banquet in the world. If there is a chance, see you in the world!"

Sun Lei also felt a little bit reluctant, but when things got to the top, what should be broken had to be broken!
"However, there may be a chance to meet again in the future, and we will live together every day with big bowls of drinking and big pieces of meat!"

"There is still this chance, when!"

Lu Zhishen asked quickly.

Seeing that Lu Zhishen's saliva was about to flow out, Sun Lei said speechlessly.

"Do you want to live that life, or do you just want to drink and eat meat?"

"There is no other way. Let's find a place where weeds fall on the top of a mountain. If you keep the mountain hair and make a fortune, you can drink and eat meat every day, and be happy!"

"Why do you always think about going up the mountain and falling grass? You have a clean body, a flexible mind, and you can learn martial arts well. What can't you do? Do you have to fall grass?"

Lu Zhishen's face darkened, he pretended to be an eminent monk and began to teach Sun Lei a lesson.

Sun Lei knew that Lu Zhishen was still very disgusted with Luocao. After all, he had been the governor of the Jinglue Mansion, and he was in charge of catching robbers and thieves. Justice and justice.

"What can you do? If you take care of the management of the government, you will become a monk to avoid disaster. With my temper, maybe one day there will be a catastrophe. It's better to fall into the grass as soon as possible!"

He had discussed this topic with Lu Zhishen more than once, but it just didn't make sense. People who haven't experienced certain things are unwilling to take that road, and Sun Lei also understands.

As for serving the imperial court, Sun Lei never even thought about it. As far as the Northern Song Dynasty was dying, he couldn't save it. The Northern Song Dynasty hadn't been there for a few years.

"Brother, don't call him Master Sajia Lu from now on!"

Lu Zhishen couldn't say anything about Sun Lei, so he could only say something else.

"Why? Master Lu is so nice!"

"Sajia feels weird every time I hear you call that name."

"What's so strange? Master Lu, Master Lu! Quickly score, it's fair and just!"

"That's the tone, it's clearly making fun of Sajia!"

"No, how could it be? Master Lu!"

"It's called Sajia Lu Tijutsu! Everyone in the world calls it that!"

"No, no, you are no longer a Tiju, you are a monk now, you have to be called Master Lu!"

"Then why is your tone always so teasing!"

"How can there be? Master Lu, you are too worried, what a name Master Lu is!"

at night.

Sun Lei waited for Lu Zhishen to fall asleep and came outside Elder Zhizhen's meditation room.

"But benefactor Sun is here?"

Before Sun Lei could knock on the door, the familiar kind and thick voice came from the Zen room, it was Elder Zhizhen.

Sun Lei's hand that was about to knock the door stopped in mid-air. He didn't expect Elder Zhizhen to be so powerful that he knew that he was coming. He didn't even know what he was going to say.

"The door is open!"

Elder Zhizhen's voice came from the meditation room again.

Sun Lei gently pushed open the door and walked in. Elder Zhizhen was sitting cross-legged on the futon in the room, with his back facing the door.

"Elder!"

Sun Lei bowed to the back of Elder Zhizhen and said, no matter what, Elder Zhizhen taught him martial arts, which can be regarded as a kindness of teaching him.

"Benefactor Sun is leaving Wenshu Monastery?"

Elder Zhizhen smiled and stood up, turned around and looked at Sun Lei kindly.

"Yes, elder, I'm not a Buddhist disciple, and it's not very appropriate to stay in the monastery for a long time. Thanks to the elder's kindness, I took him in for a few days and passed on a set of mysterious stick techniques. During this period of time, I practiced a lot. Shen, now I have the strength to protect myself, so I am ready to go down the mountain."

Sun Lei answered honestly, this is really thanks to the elders, if it wasn't for the elders passing down this exercise, he would be giving away his head if he walks around the rivers and lakes without the strength to restrain a chicken.

"You have a quick-witted personality, but you act eccentrically and eclecticly. Although you are better than Zhishen, you are also restless. If you go down the mountain, you will definitely cause trouble, but no matter what, you must remember to be merciful and not to hurt innocent people. Human life can only be blessed by doing good deeds and accumulating virtue!"

Elder Zhizhen looked at Sun Lei with a smile, and he gave Sun Lei a piece of advice. He could see that Sun Lei's distinctive temperament was incompatible with ordinary people, and going down the mountain would definitely cause a big commotion.

"I will definitely keep the elder's words in mind, but the elder doesn't have to be like this. I will go up the mountain to visit the elder when I have time!"

Sun Lei heard the words of farewell in the elder's mouth, as if it was difficult to meet each other in this life, he said directly, going to Wutai Mountain is not too difficult.

"That Wulang gossip stick is a good student to practice. This stick technique is the best of all families. As long as you practice it carefully, it will become a great help in the future!"

Elder Zhizhen talked about martial arts training again.

"Elder, I don't understand the formula! You can give me some pointers."

When Sun Lei saw that it was about martial arts training, he looked at the elder with a weeping face, and couldn't understand the mantra at all.

"The formula needs to be comprehended by oneself. I can't help you answer this point. If I tell you, it will be bad for you!"

Elder Zhizhen shook his head rarely, unwilling to answer.

"On your own?"

Sun Lei was speechless for a while. He was most afraid of these unclear things, but soon he was too lazy to think about the formulas. Anyway, there are pictures, so he can practice by himself. Didn't "Brother Dog" rely on pictures to practice the Taixuan Jing and go straight to the road of cultivating immortals?

"Elder, I will go down the mountain tomorrow. Thanks to the elder for taking me in for a few days, Sun Lei bids farewell again!"

Sun Lei bowed down to Elder Zhizhen.

Elder Zhizhen didn't say anything, just looked at Sun Lei with a smile on his face.

Early the next morning, Sun Lei left Wenshu Monastery, where he had lived for more than a month, and prepared to go down the mountain with a burden on his back and a whistle stick that reached his eyebrows.

The supervisor, head seat, and deacons in the monastery stood at the door and "watched" Sun Lei go down the mountain one by one, as if they were sending off the plague god.

Lu Zhishen looked at Sun Lei waving to him, and raised his hand, saying goodbye to Sun Lei reluctantly.
