Fundamentals of Catching Immortals

Chapter 698 Extra Story [-]: Ah Qing and Yin Xiaoyun ([-])
Once upon a time there was a Qingling Mountain, and there was a Qingling Temple on the Qingling Mountain. In the Qingling Temple, there was an old monk with three and a half young monks.

Why three and a half?

The three monks in front are bald monks, while the half of the monks are not bald monks.

The "monk" who is not bald is the one who went to Qingling Mountain eight years ago.

That year, the little boy was looking for the Qingling Temple on Qingling Mountain alone, just to burn incense and chant in front of the Buddha, so that his parents could rest in peace and his family would be safe, but he finally found the Qingling Temple. The old monk was unwilling to shave him.

"Little benefactor, shaving means to cut off three thousand people in the world of mortals, and end the fate of the world. But you are destined to die in the world, so you can't get a shave, you can't get a shave."

The old monk talked for a long time, but the young boy knelt stubbornly in the dilapidated temple surrounded by wind, his eyes were red, but his teeth were clenched.He just wanted to be a monk, why is it so difficult?
The three little bald heads hiding in the transept lined up in a row, with their bald heads and round eyes peeking out from behind the wall, each of them looked at this strange boy with curiosity—it’s just that they couldn’t get away with it What kind of ruined temple with incense, and some people rush to become monks?

Why can't you think about it so much?
The young boy knelt all night, but the old monk finally couldn't hold him back, so he reluctantly accepted him as a lay disciple. He ate and chanted scriptures like the other three senior brothers, but he was still unwilling to shave his head.

"Master, why don't you shave him?" The young disciple, sniffling his nose and wearing a shiny black shabby robe, asked the old monk suspiciously in private: "You picked us three senior brothers, and you Why don't you say that we are not destined to die?"

The old monk cast a sidelong glance at the boy, and wiped his snot with his sleeves, "The three of you are all lonely and widowed for the rest of your life. Instead of three bachelors who can't find a wife, it's better for the three monks to get together." Live. That kid is different, the red line on his head is so bright that it’s about to burst into peach blossoms, I’m afraid that the marriage in this life was fixed in the previous life. Do you know that bad guys and good deeds will be kicked by donkeys?"

The little monk felt aggrieved, and found a water jar to lie on the side to take a photo for a long time. He felt that he was quite plump and handsome, why was he destined to be a bachelor, and why was he not as good as that white-faced boy.

What's the red line right now.

Where there is any red line, the master's old eyesight is almost the same.

All in all, all in all, Xiao Shanliu stayed and became half a monk.The master didn't take the dharma name for him, and he only called Xiaoshan Xiaoshan on weekdays, but he found a half-worn monk's robe from somewhere and gave it to him. Xiaoshan was wearing loose clothes, like a theater robe.

Just like that, eight years have passed in a flash.

Qingling Temple is very small, so small that there are no rules.There are four and a half monks in the temple, but only the half is most like a monk.

Xiaoshan got up early in the morning, washed his face, went down to fetch water, and then came back to cook porridge and sweep the courtyard. It wasn't until this time that the four monks in the temple woke up slowly, each holding a broken small bag. The booklet of Buddhist scriptures went to the Buddhist hall, sat on the futon with eyes closed and began to chant.

Xiao Shan also followed suit, reading seriously and logically.There is only one scripture in the whole temple, which was copied by the old monk himself. There is no record of whether it is wrong or not, but it has been read by these monks for eight full years.Finish reading quickly, read back and forth for half an hour, when the old monk closed his eyes and pretended to nod, the three and a half monks below rushed up, rushed to the small pot that had already smelled of rice, and one by one began to fill their " appetite".

The monks of Qingling Temple have no rules when eating, and they don't pay attention to what they eat, they just chat while eating.After procrastinating and finishing the meal, the sun is almost overhead.

And after eating, the most serious business in Qingling Temple began.

They had to go down the mountain for alms.

The old monk is old and refined, and he knows when the best time to ask for alms.

They will have eaten, and their physical strength can be guaranteed, and the sun is just right at this time. When they arrive at the village below the mountain, it happens to be the most lazy time for the villagers after they have finished their lunch.I am in a good mood after eating, and I am not bored seeing them, but it is not easy to see an old bald man standing under the sun with three little bald men. Give the leftovers to the leftovers, give the coppers if there are some coppers, and send them away quickly.

Xiaoshan, who is not bald, has to clean up the dishes at this time, start washing clothes and cleaning the Buddha statue...

When the sun went down a little bit, it seemed that he couldn't procrastinate any longer, and if he procrastinated, there would be no firewood tomorrow—he was unwilling, so he went to the mountains to collect firewood.

For such an industrious person as Xiao Shan, why would Mao not like collecting firewood?

This... because there are goblins in the mountains.

It stands to reason that after the age of 14, Xiaoshan was as tall as a bamboo. Now Xiaoshan [-] has become the tallest in Qingling Temple. But it has been able to hold up.There is nothing to be afraid of for a young man of his age.

But Xiaoshan is really afraid of goblins.

In particular, I am afraid of that snake demon named Ah Qing in the mountain.

Yes, there is a snake demon in the mountains, and its name is Ah Qing.

When mentioning this snake demon, Xiao Shan's expression immediately became a little distorted.Since he went up the mountain, this snake demon has been pestering him all the time, and she hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, but when her pretty, half-smiling eyes swept across his face, Xiao Shan immediately felt that she was being slighted .

He gets angry, but the snake demon is not afraid of him; he dodges, but the snake demon always knows where to find him...

What can he do with a mortal fetus in the small mountainous area? He is also very desperate. Well, he can only be afraid of this snake demon.

However, this snake demon has never harmed anyone. Ever since he knew that Ah Qing was a snake demon, he felt complicated, but he dared not tell his seniors and masters that people are innocent monsters after all. Big, sweet and cute with a smile on her lips, and she often likes to send fruit and rice to the temple." Miss Aqing is a goblin, and she is probably going to kill demons or something...

He just couldn't bear it, so he had to... endure it.

A man is a big man, if he is eaten tofu, he can still die.

In fact, usually, when Xiao Shan went to collect firewood, he might not meet Ah Qing, but this day was different.

At noon yesterday, an old deer that was so old that it trembled when walking came to the temple. Under Xiao Shan's surprised gaze, it knelt down in front of the Buddha statue, kowtowed a few times, and then died.Xiao Shan guarded the old deer's body until the four bald monks came back.

After listening to Xiao Shan's explanation of the deer's origin, the old monk said a few words of Buddha to the old deer's body.

"This deer has some spiritual energy. I'm afraid it knows its own destiny. Come to the Buddha to ask for an afterlife." After the old monk finished speaking, he looked around at the three bald disciples who were staring at the old deer with shining eyes and drooling: "... ... Presumptuous! What kind of eyes are you looking at!"

Three bald men: "..."

Xiao Shan glanced at the old deer and asked the old monk, "Master, shall I go and bury it?"

The old monk showed pity, sighed softly, and said: "No need. Xiao Shan, you go and give this deer to Ah Qing's family tomorrow."

Xiao Shan trembled all over, looking at the old monk in surprise.

"Mr. Ah Qing sent rice noodles to our temple, so let's reciprocate."

"..."

That's it, today Xiao Shan must definitely go to Ah Qing.

Seeing that the sun was getting late, Xiao Shan sighed, carried the old deer on his back, closed the temple gate and went to Ah Qing's house.

Xiao Shan knew where Ah Qing's house was eight years ago.Back then, he didn't know that the little girl he met in the mountains was a snake spirit, and he sent her to her "home" in a foolish way.For so many years, Ah Qing has already shown her true form in front of Xiao Shan, but the location of her "home" has never changed.

Xiao Shan walked to the door of Ah Qing's house with the determination to die.

The small courtyard was cleaner and tidy than their Qingling Temple. The stone wall was as high as a person, and the wooden door was ajar, so one could vaguely see what the courtyard looked like.

Before Xiao Shan raised his hand to knock on the door, he heard a soft smile from a strange woman's voice inside the door.

"...is that him?"

Xiao Shan was taken aback for a moment, and the door in front of him suddenly creaked open.There are two people sitting at the table in the room, one is Ah Qing, and the other Xiao Shan has never seen before.

The woman was dressed in red, her eyebrows and eyes were not very beautiful, but somehow she couldn't move her eyes away.She looked at Xiao Shan and smiled slightly, and Xiao Shan gasped in shock, half of his soul was almost gone.

"It's him, he's a little more stupid than in his previous life." Ah Qing held her chin, held a teacup in one hand, looked at Xiao Shan with a half-smile, and sighed, "You can see that, even though he's not as qualified as Xiao Shan. One ten-thousandth of the cloud. Alas, it’s a worry.”

"Don't worry, he will always benefit from your guidance." The woman in red smiled and tilted her head to look out of the window: "It's almost time, I have to go back to find Ah He, lest he come over soon and scare you This mountain demon spirit."

Ah Qing smiled and waved her hands, but she never got up: "Let's go, let's go, come back next time."

After all, the woman in red disappeared instantly.

Xiao Shan was so startled that he was almost as stiff as the dead deer. He stood at the gate of the yard, neither advancing nor retreating.

"Why stand there stupidly, come in if you come to me." Ah Qing said, hooking his hands at Xiao Shan: "Why, are you afraid that I will eat you?"

— not so good!Just afraid of this!
Xiao Shan's face was a little distorted, he was stunned for a moment, calmed down his frightened heart, and walked in with the dead deer on his back.He was sullen and didn't want to look at Ah Qing. He just threw the dead deer in the yard in a hurry, and then said in a low voice, "Master asked me to give this to you. Thank you for taking care of me."

After all, Xiaoshan turned his head and was about to leave.

But after entering the Fairy Gate, you can leave if you want?
Before Xiaoshan stepped out of the courtyard, Ah Qing leaned against the door and stepped on the opposite door frame with a leg, blocking the way with a hooligan molesting women from good families: "Let's go now? I haven't seen me for several days, don't want to Ask me where I went?"

Xiao Shan turned his head, never looking at Ah Qing: "Where you go has nothing to do with me."

"Oh, that's so true, it's really sad." Ah Qing tilted her head to look at the hill: "It's my senior sister who just came, and you don't say hello when you see her. Fortunately, it was the Buddha who recited it for so long. I don’t even know how to be polite.”

——I am not someone like you!What hello!
"Senior Sister? You monster..." Xiao Shan paused as he spoke, "...Then what, do you have a teacher?"

"That's natural, otherwise I'm just a little snake, how could I have entered the Tao?" Ah Qing said, his eyes glanced at the dead deer on the ground, he chuckled, and his voice faded: "Just like this old deer, You can't get a chance, no matter how spiritual you are, it's nothing more than that."

Xiao Shan was in a state of confusion, and was not very interested in what Ah Qing said.He wanted to leave but couldn't, so he raised his head and gave Ah Qing a hasty look: "Give way, I have to go, I have something else to do."

Ah Qing chuckled, put her legs down, and raised her chin towards the hill with half a door gap left: "Oh, let's go then."

If you want to go out, you have to walk past this snake demon.The door is so small, no matter how careful he is, he might bump into her!
Emma, ​​so angry.

In Ah Qing's eyes, Xiao Shan's angry appearance is extremely cute.The little boy kept it on his mouth for eight years, but he couldn't eat it when he was about to ripen...won't she please take a couple of mouthfuls first to satisfy his craving?
"You!" Xiao Shan stared, and Bai Shengsheng's face turned red with anger: "Why are you like this!"

"What happened to me?" Ah Qing raised her eyebrows: "Have I molested you?"

Xiao Shan took a deep breath and walked over bravely.When people walk through the door, they can't wait to hold their breath.

However, the door frame was too small, and Ah Qing exhaled when he chuckled, but it still floated at the base of his neck.

a little itchy.

Leaving the small courtyard, Xiao Shan almost trotted away.But after running for a while, he realized that Ah Qing hadn't caught up.

He breathed a sigh of relief at first, but after a while, he felt a little strangely awkward again.

This was the first time he saw Ah Qing chatting with other people, but they were all people he didn't know and things he didn't know.

For some reason, this kind of cognition made Xiaoshan feel a little empty in his heart.

After collecting the firewood and returning to Qingling Temple, Xiao Shan burned firewood and cooked in silence until eating, Xiao Shan didn't say a word.

While eating, the elder brother discovered something wrong with Xiao Shan.

"Fourth brother, if you can't eat this bun, give it to me." The second senior brother pointed to the half bun that Xiao Shan was holding in his hand and hadn't eaten for a long time.

Xiao Shan glanced at the steamed bun in his hand, and gave it to the second senior brother.Eldest brother glanced at Xiaoshan, then stretched out his hand to slap second senior brother's hand away happily going to pick up the bun.

"Xiao Shan, what's the matter with you today?" The elder brother asked Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan looked up, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I'm fine."

"Hey, don't even think about it," the third senior brother took advantage of the time when several people were paying attention to Xiaoshan, and grabbed vegetables into his own bowl, but said sharply in his mouth: "I lost my temper with Miss Ah Qing."

Xiao Shan's face darkened, and he was silent.

The elder brother and the second elder brother looked stunned, and even the old monk looked at Xiao Shan more.

"Oh, there's really nothing to make trouble about." Second senior brother Da Lai Lai said, "You're not a serious monk, you just go and marry someone else's girl after two years."

"That's right, Miss Ah Qing and your childhood sweetheart are very kind to you, Xiao Shan, you can't let him down." The elder brother spoke earnestly.

Xiao Shan's face turned darker.

He really wanted to roar: You are killing your junior brother!That is a snake spirit with snake spirit disease!

But he couldn't speak.

Ah, so depressing.

"I'm a monk, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Shan held back for a long time, and only uttered this sentence: "Ah Qing still wants to get married."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Shan's heart skipped a beat.

"Marry? People like you so much, if they want to marry, they will definitely marry you." Third Senior Brother said while stuffing steamed buns into his mouth.

"Why do you like me? People like others!" Xiao Shan was inexplicably irritable, and his voice became much louder.

like him?
Snakes are obscene by nature, she just likes to play with him!
"Who do you like?" Second senior brother asked in a daze.

——Xiaoyun.

Xiao Shan replied in his heart.

And at this time, he realized that - he remembered the seemingly casual words she said in the afternoon.

Word by word, inexplicably memorized in my heart.

——As you can see, his aptitude is not even one-tenth of that of Xiaoyun's.
