mad dragon son-in-law

Chapter 455 The real purpose is to give gifts
The abbot didn't show any dissatisfaction with the behavior of the crowd. It seemed that what he said just now was just a kind reminder, and he didn't mind if anyone listened.

Xiao Feng didn't hesitate too much, he picked up the teacup with a smile, took a sip and said politely: "Good tea!"

Seeing Xiao Feng's movements, the rest of the people also picked up their teacups and took a sip, but obviously, no one really put their minds on savoring the taste of the tea.

The abbot put down his teacup, looked at Master Jiu and said, "Now we can talk."

Master Jiu nodded and said: "To be honest, I came to your temple again this time not because I wanted to start digging graves again, but because I was entrusted by a friend to help his ancestors. The treasure was unearthed."

"So that's how it is." The abbot said calmly: "If you have this original intention, it's not considered a breach of the agreement, and the benefactor doesn't have to worry about it."

Master Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, then cupped his hands and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask Master Abbot, whether our business will go smoothly? Or, can we come back safely?"

To put it bluntly, Master Jiu was actually afraid of death, but due to face problems, he could only ask in such a tactful way.

"The benefactor wants to seek peace of mind from this old monk?" The abbot smiled: "Bodhisattvas are afraid of causes, and ordinary people are afraid of consequences, but we must know that the cycle of cause and effect has never been predicted by humans, let alone controlled by humans."

These words are like playing a charade, but the translation is actually very simple, that is, let nature take its course, whether it is a blessing or a curse, and a disaster cannot be avoided.

To put it more bluntly, that is to let Jiuye fend for himself, and the abbot can't help him much.

For a moment, Master Jiu couldn't help but start thinking wildly.

Just as he was about to continue asking, the abbot got up first and said, "All benefactors, continue to taste tea here..."

Speaking of this, the abbot paused, and turned his gaze to Xiao Feng: "This benefactor, how about going out with me for a walk?"

"Yes." Xiao Feng readily agreed, and followed the abbot out of the meditation room.

Facing the meditation room tens of meters away, there is a big tree that can be hugged by three people. There is a stone table and two stone benches under the big tree. After the abbot took his seat, he signaled Xiao Feng to go to the opposite side.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the room couldn't help being a little curious, what did the old abbot want to tell Xiao Feng?
But the abbot's explanation before he left the house was obviously that he didn't want people to listen in, so everyone naturally didn't want to make fun of themselves.

"The benefactor seems to be very entangled?" The abbot showed a benevolent smile, as if he was looking at the junior.

Xiao Feng also showed a smile, and asked back: "How can you see that?"

"Generally speaking, most people will take the initiative to express their confusion when they face me, but the benefactor is not. Presumably he hasn't figured out what to ask?" The abbot said slowly, his tone was not like It's an inquiry, more like an exposition.

Xiao Feng didn't deny it, and nodded without hesitation: "You guessed right, but after hearing what you said, I don't want to ask anything."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

"The master's theory of cause and effect just now can basically be summed up in eight words: life and death are determined by destiny, wealth and honor depend on heaven.

People are unpredictable, let alone intervene in the outcome. If this is the case, then naturally there is nothing to ask. Besides, in most cases, everyone understands the truth, but there are very few people who can really act according to the truth. "

"Not bad!"

The abbot agreed: "Actually, many people come to the old monk to explain their doubts, and their thinking is similar to that of the benefactor Miao. What they are looking for is not the result, but a peace of mind. However, the monks do not tell lies, so the old monk has no choice but to give the answer that satisfies the other party as much as possible.

The result of this is that more and more people think that the old monk is unpredictable, but they don't know that it is impossible for an omniscient and omnipotent person to exist.

We often say that all beings are equal. It is unreasonable for monks to understand more than lay people. In many cases, monks just see many things more lightly than lay people. "

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Secular people and monks are not the same group. The most important things in the eyes of the world are gold and silver, and the monks disdain them. Conversely, the world cannot understand the indifferent state of mind of the monks."

"Haha, the benefactor is really different from ordinary people." The abbot said with a smile, "I haven't met such a thoughtful person as the benefactor for a long time."

Xiao Feng's face was calm, and he didn't show any flattering intentions. After thinking for a while, he asked: "The human skin drum, the master should have known about its existence a long time ago, right?"

The abbot leaned over to pick up a dead leaf, and replied unhurriedly: "That drum was there when the temple was built, the source is no longer traceable, and today is the first time someone has taken it out in decades.

This is why I said that the donor has a predestined relationship with the drum, everything has its own destiny, and it should belong to the donor. "

Xiao Feng frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he asked again: "Master called me out alone, is it just to chat?"

He figured it out, and expected the other party to take the initiative to speak up about something serious, and would have to wait for a long time, so he had to ask himself.

Although Xiao Feng never thought that anyone could surpass him in eloquence, but if he really wanted to compete with the monk who could speak better, Xiao Feng would be willing to bow down.

What's more, if you keep talking empty words, it seems that you are too serious.

After a while, the abbot suddenly said: "The benefactor should have killed many people..."

Xiao Feng's eyes were fixed, and a look of vigilance flashed across his eyes.

In fact, Xiao Feng didn't find it strange that the other party could see that he had killed someone.

Because he can do it himself, by observing a person's instinctive reaction, he can judge whether the other party has killed someone, and what his level of strength is.

What really made him vigilant was the kind-looking abbot in front of him, why did he suddenly say such a sentence?

"Master, is this an interrogative sentence or an affirmative sentence?" Xiao Feng asked.

"Don't get me wrong, although I haven't talked with the benefactor for a long time, what is certain is that even if the benefactor has killed many people, he will only save more people."

After pondering for a moment, the abbot added: "Even if we don't save many people now, we will in the future, provided that the benefactor upholds his original intention."

"..." Xiao Feng didn't know how to answer the words.

Is the other party's remarks a trend of survival, or does he really see something?
Sorting out the previous conversation, no matter how you think about it, it makes people feel that the first possibility is relatively large.

After a long time, the abbot was the first to break the silence and said: "Actually, I called out the benefactor alone because I have a gift I want to give to the benefactor."

Xiao Feng's eyes lit up, and he said cheerfully: "Master, I told you earlier, I just don't know what kind of gift Master is going to give me?"
