Chapter 102 The Ancestral House (2)
His judgment was very severe, without the compassion of a monk.Lu Jian felt dissatisfied, and wanted to argue, but felt that the matter was too weird, so he forgot to speak, and was very troubled.But Xingjue smiled, shook his head and sighed: "Brother Xingming, you are so confused." Xingming was stunned, and said: "What does the abbot say?"

Xingjue said: "I just found out about theft. There is also a way to steal. The stolen things show the temperament of the thief. Subazhen, Xueya tea, square persimmon cake, jade grits soup, Liuhe ginseng soup are all Precious refreshments, this thief specializes in stealing this kind, which shows that he has a good appreciation of food and drink, and he is an elegant thief."

"Ya thief?" Xing Ming raised his thick eyebrows, slightly surprised.

"That's right!" Xingjue smiled, "It's not just an elegant thief, it's just like a picky young lady. Everyone knows that a deaf-mute monk can't be more stupid. , How can you be so picky when you see porridge and drink porridge? Therefore, in my opinion, the sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup may have been eaten by the deaf-mute monk, but the previous refreshments may not be counted on him."

Xingming pondered and said: "According to the abbot's opinion, is there someone else who is the thief?" Xingjue said: "I'm guessing too, but if there are doubts, don't rush to convict." Xingming nodded and said: "The abbot is right."

Lu Jian couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that this Xingjue, as the abbot, did have some advantages, and it was reasonable to analyze and decide the case.In a blink of an eye, the deaf-mute monk didn't realize it, he just stretched his hand into his bosom, picked out the lice, strangled them to death and threw them on the ground, Lu Jian unconsciously sighed: "This monk is not only dumb, but also deaf , is really pitiful."

Xingming saw that the deaf-mute monk blatantly palpated the lice in the abbot, hurting life and killing his life, polluting the Zen school, and he was really wanton.He was sullen in his heart and wanted to curse, but suddenly he realized that this man is deaf in both ears and his temperament is chaotic, even if there is thunder and violence nearby, it is nothing but wind and rain to him, and it will not touch him.Thinking of this, I couldn't vent my breath.

Suddenly he heard a cough coming from outside the abbot.Xingjue raised his eyelids slightly, and said with a smile: "Junior Xinghai is here? Long time no see, please come in quickly."

Accompanied by a cough, the abbot walked in a monk. He had sparse eyebrows, was as thin as a stick, and his face was pale and blue. His chest heaved for a while, and he tried his best to say: "Xinghai...cough...ask the abbot how you are." Xingjue said with a smile "I've been busy with temple affairs for the past two months, so I haven't visited you. Is your illness better?" Xing Hai said with a wry smile, "It's the same old way, I'm afraid it won't get better." Xing Jue also sighed and said: "Junior brother, don't be discouraged, please sit down for a while, let me ask a few words, and then talk to you."

When Xing Hai sat down, he glanced at Lu Jian intentionally or unintentionally, then lowered his eyelids and coughed lightly.Xingjue also stared at Lu Jian for a long while, and said slowly, "What does little Tanyue have to do with Monk Yu?" The abbot's people were all shocked when they heard this, and all their eyes turned to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian was also surprised, nodded and said, "The abbot also knows that master?" Xing Jue nodded and said, "The King Kong sect has been stationed in Xiwo Temple since Master Peanut. In the early years, I was enlightened by Monk Yu. , a little knowledge of Vajra supernatural powers. Just now, little Tanyue restrained a group of Xinyuan people, using the 'Great Vajra Power'. This supernatural power has been passed down in a single line, and since little Tanyue has learned it, it must have a lot to do with Monk Yu."

Lu Jian was greatly puzzled, and thought to himself: "I am plagued by injuries, how can I still use the 'Great Vajra Power'? Even with the 'Great Vajra Power', I have only practiced [-] phases, how can I not use a single move?" , Shake the monks' sticks and seal their meridians?" The more he thought about it, the more startled he became, speechless.Xingjue stared at him for a while, then asked: "What is the reason for little Tanyue?"

"I don't have any problems." Lu Jian sighed, "Master Yu Monk is indeed very kind to me. Before he passed away, he asked me to bring his relics to your temple for placement."

"What?" Xing Hai cried out in shock, "Monk Yu is dead..." Suddenly, he rushed up against the air, coughing repeatedly, his pale skin swelled into a purple color.The astonishment in Xingjue's eyes flashed away, and he said silently for a while, "Xinkong, you undo the shackles of Tanyue."

Xinkong entered the temple late, so he didn't know why Monk Yu was so sacred, but seeing the expressions of the seniors, he knew that this person must be extraordinary. If Lu Jian had something to do with him, he would be a distinguished guest of this temple.He was apprehensive and hurriedly untied Lu Jian's iron chain.

Lu Jian took out the bag containing the relics from his bosom, and held it to a few tables.Xingjue stretched out his bony five fingers, stroked the kit, his long eyebrows trembled slightly, closed his eyes suddenly, sighed and said, "This Tanyue, what's your name?"

Lu Jian said, "Boy, Lu Jian." Xingming snorted coldly, and shouted, "King Kong supernatural powers are passed down in one line. It stands to reason that Monk Yu should be sent back to the relics by his disciples, but why did you come here?" Already?" All the monks nodded one after another, all showing doubts on their faces.

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "The monk who can't be done is dead." The story of how the monk who can't be betrayed the Buddha and became a demon, and was finally exterminated.After finishing speaking, there was a moment of silence in the abbot, and after a while, Xingjue sighed faintly: "Lu Tanyue, besides sending the relics to our temple, what else does Monk Yu have to say?"

Lu Jian shook his head and said, "Nothing." Xingjue's eyes flashed, and then he was sad again.Xing Hai covered his mouth and coughed again and again. Lu Jian heard him coughing and felt a dull pain in his chest. He immediately got up and said, "The relics have been delivered. Master Yu Monk's last wish has been fulfilled, and I should bid farewell." Glancing at the deaf-mute monk, seeing him groping for lice and fleas, smiling and enjoying himself, he didn't feel sad in his heart, and saluted, "Master Xingjue, I have something to ask, and I hope you will show mercy, if you agree."

Xingjue looked at the relic, his mind was not in it, and he heard the words: "Tanyue, please tell me." Lu Jian said: "This deaf-mute master stole sweet-scented osmanthus and lotus seed soup for me, please don't punish him, if you must, I'd rather Be punished on his behalf, and take the thirty sticks." He is very weak at this time, if he is hit with the sticks, he will surely die, but since he knows that his terminal illness is hopeless, he despises himself and doesn't care about life and death, so he is willing to sacrifice his life , but also to take the blame for the old monk.

Xingjue looked surprised but not surprised. He stared at Lu Jian for a long while, then smiled and said, "This is a trivial matter. Xingming, the Vajra lineage is kind to this temple, and the deaf-mute monk will not be held accountable for stealing in the face of Monk Yu." Xingming said together: "Please follow the law."

Lu Jian was overjoyed, gave a salute, and was about to leave when Xingjue suddenly said, "Lu Tanyue, are you sick?" Lu Jian nodded and said, "I do have some minor illnesses." Call it a minor illness, so as not to worry others.

But Xingjue smiled and said: "The so-called big cure for minor illnesses, the first teacher of my pharmacist academy, Xingzhi, is good at the art of Qihuang, Lu Tanyue traveled thousands of miles, and sent Master Yu Monk's relics, telling me to be a good life to all the monks in the temple. Respect each other. As the saying goes: "If you come, you will be safe." When Tanyue comes, you might as well stay for two more days and let Xingzhi have a look. First, come to recuperate, and second, come to see this thousand-year-old temple and Zen ancestral garden .”

Lu Jian was worried about Yao Qing and Ning Ning, and knowing that there was no cure for his chronic illness, he cupped his hands and said, "Sorry, I really have something important to do, so I can't stay."

"What's the important thing?" Xingjue showed concern, "I wonder if the old monk can help?" Lu Jian pondered about Yao Qing's matter, which was related to the eight parts of the Western City, and it was extremely dangerous. It would be harmful if Xingjue was involved, and Ning Ning's matter was related to Her life experience is a mystery.Lu Jian thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The abbot's kindness, I appreciate it."

Xingjue sighed: "Why did Tanyue shirk, he only went to the Pharmacist's Academy once, and let my junior brother see it, even if it's not as good as decoction, it's good to prescribe one or two prescriptions."

The more attentive he was, the more difficult it was for Lu Jian.He has an aggressive temper, he is not good at rejecting others, and his sexual awareness is good intentions, but he is disrespectful. Besides, he is an incurable disease, and it makes no difference whether he sees the disease or not. If his sexual intelligence is really good at medical skills, he will be able to see that the disease is incurable. , then it is not too late to say goodbye.

Xingjue saw that he agreed, let out a light breath, and said: "Xinkong, you take Lu Tanyue to the Pharmacist's Academy and pass on my decree. This Lu Tanyue has a deep relationship with Monk Yu, so he must be cured with Xingzhi." With an empty heart, he led the way for Lu Jian.The deaf-mute monk was at a loss, not knowing what was going on, seeing Lu Jian get up and go out, he followed him out.

Lu Jian said: "Master, I'm going to see a doctor, you go back first." After saying that, he suddenly heard a heartless laugh, and suddenly realized that the old monk was deaf, and he couldn't hear what he said, so he couldn't help laughing at himself. laugh.

After walking a few more steps, he saw the deaf-mute monk following closely behind him. He became agitated and put his hand on his shoulder. His internal strength burst out, and the deaf-mute monk couldn't help himself, and fell more than ten feet flat.Xinkong used ingenuity, although the deaf-mute monk didn't feel the pain, he was still taken aback, he got up and stared at the two of them, his eyeballs rolled around, stumbled, a puff of smoke went away.

Xinkong laughed and said, "This old idiot can't listen to people, the only way to understand is to give him a few slaps." In the blink of an eye, Lu Jian's brows were furrowed, and there was anger on his face. Slightly sneered.

Both of them didn't speak, they walked a hundred steps in a zigzag way, and came to the pharmacist's courtyard, a few young monks were making medicine in front of the courtyard, they entered without looking up.Xinkong shouted loudly: "Master Xingzhi, Uncle Xingzhi."

"What's your name?" An impatient voice came from the back room. An old monk with a white beard came out through the curtain, glanced at the two of them, and then his eyes fell on Lu Jian's face.Xinkong said: "Abbot Dharma decree, master uncle must cure this Lu Tanyue."

"It must be cured?" Xingzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Jian with a suspicious expression.Xinkong said again: "The abbot also said that this Lu Tanyue has a deep relationship with Monk Yu, and traveled thousands of miles to send Monk Yu's relic back to Sanzu Temple."

When Xingzhi heard the word "monk fish", he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled at Lu Jian, and clasped his hands together and said, "The successor of King Kong is here, sorry for your disrespect." Lu Jian hurriedly replied, "Master misunderstood, master Yu monk didn't accept it." I am a disciple, so I can't afford to be a disciple." Xing Zhi was stunned, then waved his hands and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, Monk Yu was kind to me back then, and the relic you send back to him will be my benefactor, no matter what No matter what, this old monk will also cure you."

Lu Jian sighed, "Master, I'm sick..." Xing Zhi didn't wait for him to finish, took his hand and said with a smile, "The inner room is quiet, I and you have a good look." Lu Jian had no choice but to follow in temporarily.

The furnishings in the inner room are neat and clean, there is a stack of medical books on the square table, and there are many medicine cabinets behind the table, but they are in order.The two sat down, stepped back, put their hands on Lu Jianmai's door, twitched their beards and muttered, silent for a long time, only the sound of pounding medicine outside the house echoed.

Xingzhi sighed suddenly, looked at Lu Jian and said, "According to ordinary medical theory, Tan Yue's injury is in the lungs. Although the injury is serious, it is not hopeless. It's just that there is a strange potential in Tan Yue's body, which can't stop eating Tan Yue's vitality. If it flows by itself, it will become a serious disaster."

Seeing that what he said was correct, Lu Jian admired him in his heart, and said, "To be honest, the kid unfortunately became a slave to robbers. What the master said is exactly the sign of the 'Heitian robbery' onset."

"Hei Tianjie?" Xing Zhi raised his white eyebrows and asked in surprise, "The secret art of making slaves in the west city?" Lu Jian said, "Master also knows about slave making in the west city?" The corners of Xing Zhi's mouth twitched a few times, and he said coldly, "Yes, I met a robber many years ago, and I heard that "The Book of the Black Sky" is powerful." Lu Jian said with a wry smile: "There is no way to break the four laws, so this is a terminal disease, and the master cannot cure it."

Xingzhi was thoughtful, got up and took two steps, shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case, the robber slave once told the old monk that there is no way to decipher the "Black Sky Book"."

"Is this true?" Lu Jian was overjoyed, and couldn't help but blurt out, "Dare to ask Master, what can you do?" Xing Zhi squinted at him, smiled and said nothing.

Lu Jian was originally disheartened. Seeing Xingzhi's expression, a wave of hope rose in his heart, and many people flashed across his mind like lightning... Lu Dahai, Yao Qing, Gu Zhen, Yu Monk, Ning Ning... In an instant, an indescribable desire to survive arose in his heart, and he said in a trembling voice, "If the master can tell me the way to escape the catastrophe, Lu Jian will never forget it..." He bowed and bowed down.

"Tan Yue get up quickly." Xing Zhi hurriedly helped him up and said, "I killed the old monk." When he helped Lu Jian up, he saw his eyes were slightly red and his body was shaking, as if he was very excited.

Xingzhi stared at Lu Jian, turned his eyes to the window, and sighed: "Unfortunately, although that method is wonderful, it has been lost in this world."

Lu Jian raised his heart to his throat, and sank in response.Such great joy and great sorrow, not to mention that he is terminally ill, even ordinary people can hardly bear it.Lu Jian only felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he vomited out a mouthful of blood.Xingzhi hastily supported him, and felt genuine energy behind him, blaming himself repeatedly: "Blame me, blame me, this is too much."

Lu Jian recovered his breath, and said with a wry smile: "I don't blame the master, I just blame my wishful thinking for wanting to crack the "Black Sky Book"." Xingzhi said seriously: "The "Black Sky Book" can indeed be cracked. There is a martial art in the world, and it is it. nemesis."

"What martial arts?" Lu Jian was overjoyed again, his voice trembling.Xingzhi stared at his eyes, and said word by word: "Have you ever heard of the 'Great King Kong power'?"

Lu Jian's heart skipped a beat, and he froze for a while. He hesitated and said, "Master Yu Monk demonstrated the 'Great Vajra Power', but he never said he could break the "Book of the Black Sky."

Xingzhi shook his head and said: "This is what the slaves of Xicheng told the old monk. Maybe Monk Yu is carrying treasures and doesn't know it." Lu Jian's heart beat faster, thinking: "Master Yu Monk really doesn't know a lot about the "Black Sky Book". , if the 'Great Vajra Divine Power' has no supernatural powers, how can it seal the 'Sanyuan Emperor Vein'?" Thinking of this, I felt relieved.

Xingzhi kept looking at Lu Jian all the time, and seeing his face beaming with joy, he said, "Lu Tanyue, before Monk Yu sat down, you were with him all the time?" Lu Jian nodded, and Xingzhi said again: "Then did he ever Did you mention the 'Great King Kong power'?"

"I mentioned it." Lu Jian said, "He also passed on my sixteen physical appearances."

"Sixteen physical appearances." Xingzhi wondered, "Aren't there 32 physical appearances?" Lu Jian shook his head and said, "The situation was dangerous at that time, and the master had no time to pass on my other appearances."

Xingzhi snorted, and suddenly said: "Do you remember the sixteen body features?" Lu Jian said: "Yes." Xingzhi said: "Please let me have a look, I will refer to the details to see what is so clever about it. , why it was able to decipher the "Book of the Black Sky"."

"Master, I'm sorry." Lu Jian smiled wryly, "I'm so hurt that I can't use my strength to disguise myself." A gloomy look flashed across Xing Zhi's face, and he said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, you can draw on paper." Excited Spread out a piece of rice paper, dip the pen in thick ink, and hand it to Lu Jian.

Lu Jian had no chest, no doubt about him, so he began to draw on paper.Unexpectedly, he came from a humble background, never learned painting, knew nothing about the way of painting, and had thoughts in his heart, but when he wrote the brush, his shape was greatly distorted. The human head was painted like a sesame cake, his eyes were like two sesame seeds on a sesame cake, and his limbs were like firewood sticks. , The length is uneven, entangled together, completely unable to distinguish the hands and feet.

After finishing the sixteen portraits, Lu Jian was already sweating profusely.Xingzhi took it solemnly, and looked at it for a while, but couldn't see why, so he couldn't help showing suspicion, and glanced at Lu Jian: "Lu Tanyue, is this really sixteen?"

Lu Jiandao: "Yes." Xing Zhi let out a hey, put down the ghost painting talisman, and said with a smile, "Tan Yue is thirsty, wait for me to make a cup of tea." After saying that, he hurried out and brought a cup of tea, "The little monk in the temple is poor , a cup of rough tea, don’t laugh at me.”

After Lu Jian drew this, it was as if he had fought with someone. He was exhausted physically and mentally, and his mouth was thirsty, so he drank the tea, but he felt that the tea was too thick, and he couldn't tell what it was like.He was never particular about drinking tea, and drank it all in one go.Unexpectedly just as he put down the teacup, he felt dizzy for a while, raised his eyes to look, his eyes were blurred, and Xingzhi was smiling, staring at himself.

Lu Jianyin felt something was wrong, and wanted to ask, but his eyelids gradually became heavy, his body tilted to the left, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

In a daze, the aroma of herbs came from the nose, and the human voice was in the ears, and every word was in my ears.Lu Jian tried his best to open his eyes to look around, the surroundings were dark, the stone walls were dense, and there was a glimmer of water, pale yellow moss crawled out from the crevices of the stones, and thick moisture surrounded him.Lu Jian shivered, and suddenly felt something heavy on his body, and when he looked down, it turned out to be an extremely heavy iron shackle.

Lu Jian was startled and angry. He didn't know what happened, so he listened carefully, and there was a bit of anger hidden in Xingzhi's voice: "...It's all here, what else do you want?"
