Cultivating Immortals From Prison

Chapter 203 The Nameless Monk
The next day.

Gu Shen was comprehending "Taibai Sword" in the room, and when he heard Gu Xiao's laughter from the courtyard, he knew that the girl had come out of the south wing room after training.

When the spiritual sense swept over, it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes. The girl was following Zheng Lin in the yard like a little follower, chattering non-stop.

That is to say, Zheng Lin dotes on this girl very much, and if it were Gu Shen, she would have lost her mind a long time ago.

Gu Shen's spiritual awareness continued to sweep out to a wider area, and he found a handsome, tall middle-aged monk standing in front of the road outside the courtyard gate and beside the stream, wearing a moon-white monk robe , with picturesque features, standing under a peach tree.This season, the peach blossoms have faded, and the branches have already produced fruit. There are some huge peaches hanging between the green leaves, but they are not dense.

Gu Shen frowned, he was very wary of this monk, because this monk appeared very strange, if other ordinary people bought the yard of the old Li's house next door, Gu Shen would not have too many worries, but it happened to be a monk Well, in the world of comprehension, there are two types of people that one should try not to provoke, one is Buddhist cultivation, and the other is Taoism.

In today's world, Buddhism and Taoism are flourishing. The so-called demon clan, demon sect, ghost cultivators, and evil cultivators are far behind in front of Buddhism and Taoism.

A thought came to Gu Shen's mind, so he didn't have the heart to continue to study, he got off the bed, walked out of the main room, said something to Zheng Lin and Gu Xiao in the courtyard, and walked out of the courtyard door.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, Gu Shen saw a handsome middle-aged monk standing under the peach tree. The monk's scalp was clean-shaven and even slightly reflective. Unfortunately, it happened to hit the top of the monk's head. What kind of scene would it be like? Would the monk break the current appearance of being so indifferent, and scream with his head covered?
But all of this is just a fantasy in Gu Shen's mind. In his eyes, the monk wearing a moon-white monk's robe is standing under the shade of a peach tree, with one hand on his lower abdomen and the other between his waist , looking directly at the quiet stream in front of him, with a calm expression and far-sighted eyes, no matter who saw it, he had to praise the eminent monk.

"This monk sells really well." Gu Shen thought to himself.

Gu Shen stepped forward, he sized up the monk carefully, no matter how you looked at him, he was just an ordinary monk, with no trace of magic power on his body, and no experience in martial arts, but in this troubled world, he was even more lethal. Gu Shen felt strange, so he wanted to find out about this monk.

Gu Shen paced towards the monk, there was no way to hide it, and there was a clanging sound under his feet.

Hearing the movement behind him, the middle-aged monk looked back and found Gu Shen, and slowly clasped his hands together in front of his chest, saying: "Benefactor."

Gu Shen smiled and nodded. Although he was very hostile towards the monk in his heart, he naturally wouldn't say it directly. He walked under the peach tree, stood side by side with the monk, looked at the gurgling stream a few steps away, and said: " Master is so elegant, I have lived here for more than [-] years, and I have never looked at this stream carefully. Today, seeing Master staring at the water, I was surprised that this slowly flowing clear stream is also a beautiful scene."

The monk's voice was unhurried, and he said softly: "What the benefactor said is very true, but the benefactor is in the world of mortals, and there are many people who are worried about, and he comes and goes in a hurry. Naturally, it is difficult to notice the beautiful scenery around him. He is not like a poor monk who is always accompanied by green lights. The ancient Buddha, who has few distracting thoughts, can also be said to be heartless, sees more than the benefactor."

This stream is called "Aiyan Stream". It is said that the source is in the Longchi of Xingqing Palace, and flows through Daozhengfang, Dongshi, Anyifang, Qinrenfang, Qiumingfang, Yongchongfang, Xiuzhengfang, Qinglong Square, Quchi Square, into Qujiang Pond, and then into the Heishui River outside the city through the Yellow Canal.

It is said that some scholars often wash inkstones in this stream, and then wash the extremely clear stream to black, which makes the stream look so black after it flows into the Heishui River.Gu Shen is aware of the reason for this. The so-called washing inkstones to wash the stream black is completely nonsense. In fact, after the stream flows into the Heishui River, it is also extremely clear water, but the ore under the Heishui River bed is black ore. Because of this, the water appears to be black. When Xiyan said it, it was just a rumor spread by the common people in the capital, but that’s why they named this stream "Aiyanxi", which has a sense of elegance.

On the bank of the Aiyan River, two rows of weeping willows are planted. The gentle breeze blows over the willow branches, which brings some coolness to this hot summer day.

under the peach tree.

Gu Shen wore pure white clothes, long hair shawl, hands behind his back, said: "Master sees clearly, there is no lack of beauty in this world, what is lacking is only the eyes to discover beauty."

The monk was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "The benefactor is quite wise."

"Master's praise." Gu Shen smiled lightly and said, "I don't know the name of the master?"

The monk clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and said with a smile: "No one has called my dharma name for many years. I almost forgot, but the name is just a code name. It doesn't matter if you have it or not. The benefactor may as well call the poor one." The monk is nameless."

"Wuming?" Gu Shen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, then I will call Master Wuming."

"It's not a master, the benefactor can call me Wuming." Wuming monk said.

Gu Shen smiled, and after a few words, he felt that the nameless monk was interesting.

Taking a breath, Gu Shen asked: "Why did the master move here? But he is familiar with that old Li's family? I heard that Lao Li is anxious to move back to his hometown. This house has never been sold. I still think about it for a while. It won't be sold anytime soon."

The unnamed monk smiled slightly, his tone was as indifferent as ever, and he said without any haste: "The poor monk first came to the capital and wanted to find a place to stay, and finally found here because of it."

As he said that, the unknown monk stretched out his hand, and Gu Shen followed the direction he pointed, and it turned out to be the peach tree beside him.

"Peach tree?" Gu Shen was surprised.

The unknown monk nodded with a smile and said, "I like peach blossoms."

Gu Shen was even more surprised now, because he heard a kind of emotional fluctuation from the words of the unknown monk, which was a change from the indifferent attitude of the unknown monk before. I understand that what the eminent monk said should be Buddhist scriptures and Zen words, this sudden sentence of "I like peach blossoms" is beyond Gu Shen's expectation.

Gu Shen took a deep look at the unknown monk. For some reason, he believed in his heart that the reason why this monk was chosen here was really because of the peach tree that Lao Li planted many years ago.

At this time, the gate of the courtyard opened again, Gu Xiao poked her head out, looked over suspiciously, and didn't understand why her father was standing with that great monk, she retracted her head, and pulled Zheng Lin away after a while come out.

Gu Shen noticed the two of them, and introduced: "Senior sister, this is Master Wuming, and also our new neighbor."

After finishing speaking, Gu Shen introduced Zheng Lin and Gu Xiao to the unnamed monk. The monk clasped his hands together, recited Amitabha Buddha, and said hello to Zheng Lin and Gu Xiao.

When Gu Xiao first saw the unnamed monk, he was still a little nervous, but he soon relaxed. The unnamed monk has a gentle temper and treats people like a spring breeze, which is in line with everyone's understanding of eminent monks.

"Smile."

"Smile."

There was a shout coming from not far away, Gu Shen looked up, it was Zhang Wei and Zhao Tang who grew up with Gu Xiao in Qiumingfang.

The two children should have come to play with Gu Xiao, and when they saw it from a distance, they shouted.

Zhang Weisheng has a tiger head and a tiger brain, while Zhao Tang is a little girl with delicate features and a quiet personality, completely different from Gu Xiao.

"Uncle Gu, Aunt Zheng."

The two children were very polite, and they greeted Gu Shen and Zheng Lin when they saw them.

Gu Shen nodded with a smile, while Zheng Lin patted the two braids on Gu Xiao's head lightly, signaling for her to play with Zhang Wei and Zhao Tang, and told her not to go far.

The three adults talked slowly by the stream, and the three children did not go far. They played in front of the courtyard, and looked at the unknown monk with curious eyes from time to time. They all grew up in the box of Qiumingfang. All households are familiar with each other, even Gu Shen who seldom shows up is also known to everyone, it is indeed an anecdote that a monk has moved in suddenly.

Beside the stream, Gu Shen was asking about the origin of the unknown monk. This monk claimed to be a wandering monk. Now that he was old, he wanted to settle down in the capital, so he bought a yard in Qiumingfang.

Housing prices in the capital are not cheap, but there are also rich monks in Yin's country.

It was mainly the conversation between Gu Shen and the unnamed monk, Zheng Lin just listened silently, and the atmosphere between the three of them was relatively harmonious overall.

At this time, there was a noise in front of the yard.

Zheng Lin walked over first, followed by Gu Shen and the unknown monk.

The three children grew up together, except for Gu Xiao who occasionally bullied Zhang Wei and Zhao Tang when they were young, they rarely had any conflicts. I don't know why the quarrel happened now.

After some questioning, I found out why the three children were arguing. To be precise, Zhang Wei and Zhao Tang had a quarrel because of disagreement on a certain matter, because if Gu Xiao expressed his opinion, there would be no There will be disagreements.

That's what happened:
Just now, a sycamore leaf in the courtyard slowly fell on the braided braid on Gu Xiao’s head. Gu Xiao didn’t take it seriously at first, but Zhang Xiaowei, who has a tiger head and a tiger brain, put forward his opinion on this. He said, “The reason why the leaves fall is because the wind blows If a leaf blows down, the leaf should not be blamed, the reason is the wind."

Zhao Tang thought that the wind should not be blamed, it was the leaves that moved first, and then it seemed windy.

Zhang Wei and Zhao Tang began to quarrel because they were arguing whether it was "the wind caused Ye Dong to move", or "Ye Dong only caused the wind to move".

Gu Xiao muttered: "Isn't it just a leaf? Why do you care so much? It's such a simple thing, but it's still arguing."

Zhang Wei looked at Gu Xiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, tell me, is it the wind that blows the leaves, or the leaves that move with the wind?"

Zhao Tang also said: "Yes, Xiaoxiao, is it the wind that moves first, or the leaves?"

"Uh—" Gu Xiao opened his mouth, and looked at his dearest aunt for help.

It's just that this question is like asking which came first, the chicken or the egg, and there is no way to answer it, and now there is an eminent monk, the unknown monk, so Zheng Lin dare not talk nonsense, for fear of making the monk laugh.

Seeing that her aunt did not respond to her, Gu Xiao turned her pitiful eyes to her father who was omnipotent in her heart.

After learning the reason for the quarrel between the three children, Gu Shen couldn't stop laughing. He gently stroked Gu Xiao's little head and said, "Silly boy, it's not the wind or the leaves that are moving, but your own heartbeats." gone."

After Gu Shen said, the three children were still confused and could only nod their heads half understanding. Even Zheng Lin was thinking about this sentence carefully, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, but she couldn't understand how profound it really was. I couldn't figure it out for a while.

However, after hearing Gu Shen's answer, the nameless monk, who had always looked calm, couldn't help but change his face instantly, his eyes widened, moved, and he looked at Gu Shen in amazement.

Seeing this, Gu Shen asked, "Master, did I make a mistake?"

The unknown monk took a deep breath, folded his hands slowly in front of his chest, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Amitabha, what the almsgiver said is very subtle, everything is empty, everything is done only from the heart."

After finishing speaking, the monk raised his head, looked at Gu Shen with complicated eyes, and said, "The benefactor has a deep root of wisdom, and I have a destiny with my Buddha."

As soon as the unnamed monk finished speaking, Zheng Lin's expression changed instantly, and she gave the monk who could not speak a hard look.

Gu Shen smiled lightly, and said: "Master, I still have a lot of mundane things entangled, and my six sense organs are not clean, so I cannot enter the Buddhist gate."

The nameless monk sighed.

After saying a few more words, Gu Shen and Zheng Lin returned home, and the three children were playing in front of the door.

The unknown monk came back under the peach tree by the stream, dressed in moon-white robes, tall and tall, his fair skin glistening in the sun, although he was already middle-aged, he could still see the splendor of his youth, he looked at the murmur The stream was silent, and the words that Gu Shen said just now kept echoing in his mind.

"If you can save this person, you can suppress the luck of the Buddhist sect."

A sigh.

Take care of your home.

Gu Shen sat cross-legged on the bed, recalling the conversation with the unknown monk just now.

Although there is no definite evidence, but Gu Shen has a faint intuition in his heart, this unknown monk is not simple, maybe he has no cultivation and does not know martial arts, but he must have some stories and experiences.Or maybe, he is an unimaginable master.

However, Gu Shen was relieved that the nameless monk did not hold any ill intentions towards him.

Letting out his spiritual consciousness, he swept across the courtyard next door, and saw an unknown monk sitting cross-legged on the futon, reciting scriptures, with a solemn appearance.

Gu Shen withdrew his spiritual consciousness and completely focused on comprehending "Taibai Sword".

The more he understands this powerful spiritual skill, the more he can feel how far he is from the consummation stage. It may be very close, but it may also be very far away.If there is a flash of inspiration one day and you figure out a certain mystery, you may be able to achieve consummation in one day.And if you can't figure it out, you can't catch that flash of spiritual light, and you want to comprehend to the stage of consummation, then it's really far away!
