Chapter 18 The Protagonist's Temperament
Chapter 18 Protagonist’s temperament
In the capital, Qin Tianjian, Master Qiansu of the Great Zhou Dynasty meditates on the observatory every day.
It's probably the style of the master's sect. Li Feng is wearing a purple robe and has a gauze scarf to cover his face. Qiansu Zhenren's whole body is wrapped in a dark red robe, and he even wears a gold-patterned iron mask on his face, with only a pair of eyes exposed.
.
Suddenly, Venus came from the west and flew into the observatory
The national master Qiansu Zhenren opened his dark eyes and stretched out his hand to pick off the flying Venus.
The warning message that Li Feng sent before his death was integrated into Master Qiansu's consciousness. After a moment, Master Qiansu whispered: "You trash, let's just die, but you still provoke the monks of Jinshan Temple."
After pondering for a moment, Master Qiansu ordered: "Shi Chan took fifty plague pills and threw them into the wells of the villages and towns near Jinshan Temple in Yongzhou. When the plague broke out, he told them to go to Jinshan Temple for medicine. Zhu Ying, you go to Hangzhou City.
Bring Nie Zhengyan's head back, if the monk from Jinshan Temple stops him, kill him."
Master Qiansu's voice seemed to have weight, falling down from the observatory and falling into the ground where the sun never shines.
Four red lights flashed, and two black shadows swept out, taking the order and leaving.
At this time, Daoran was in front of the ruins of Lanruo Temple, watching Moduoye hoeing the earth.
Before dawn, Li Feng was beaten to death by a tree demon and then eaten until his bones were left. Although the tree demon absorbed the essence of flesh and blood, it could not make up for the previous losses.
This was a lose-lose situation, and Daoran got a big advantage.
When the sun rose three poles, Daoran's magic power recovered and he summoned the Eight Heavenly Dragons again.
This time I was doing rough and heavy work, so Yasha Moduoye was naturally suitable.
The four-armed Yaksha with long flaming hair appeared, and under Daoran's order, he began to dig a hole in the ruins of Lanruo Temple.
A long sword the size of a door panel was inserted into the ground, and tons of sand and soil were dug out with one pry. What was dug out was also large swaths of tree roots that were entangled in all the squirming trees.
Moduoye swung his ax and giant sword, chopped the roots into pieces, threw them into his mouth and started chewing them.
The sap splashed everywhere, and the highly poisonous sap was like thick sauce to Moduoye, which made him addicted to it.
Daoran was also surprised and said to Moduoye: "I didn't expect you to still like to be vegetarian."
Moduoye wiped the sap from his mouth with the back of his hand, licked it clean with reluctance, and then replied: "To answer the Master, I don't like to be vegetarian, I like to eat monsters. Dragons eat people, and yakshas eat monsters.
, our Yasha clan’s favorite thing is to eat monsters.”
Daoran was a little surprised, he didn't expect such a statement.
No wonder Mou Zhixuan was so greedy that he drooled when he saw the hundreds of monks from Lanruo Temple.
"I wonder what the hobbies of each of the eight celestial dragons are?" Daoran asked.
The man who slapped Lanruo Temple into ruins seemed to be from heaven. If he could summon his true form, even Fahai would have the power to fight, right?
Moduoye did not shy away from anything, and explained the characteristics of each of the eight parts of the Tianlong.
Dragons like to eat humans, and Yakshas like to eat monsters.
Kinnara and Gandharva are male and female gods of music respectively, so they naturally love music the most.
Garuda feeds on dragons and pinches dragons whenever he sees them.
Asuras are warlike, Maharaja is greedy for wine,
The beings who are considered the most perfect and powerful do not have any special hobbies, but they are all arrogant and full of superiority.
Daoran understood, what Tianzhong likes most is showing off.
Once you have a hobby, you can take the right medicine.
No need to be reminded by Daoran, Moduoye, who had not eaten good food for a long time, dug up the entire Lanruo Temple three feet into the ground, dug out all the tree roots, and ate it to his heart's content.
Daoran is also envious of Modoye's physique. He can even eat highly toxic tree sap as sauce. Maybe next time he will try to practice Modoye's magical power. I wonder if the effect of King Kong's indestructibility can be strengthened.
.
"But I'm afraid that I can develop four arms."
Daoran is a little troubled. It is not easy to crush his master Fahai. I wonder if Fahai can defeat the four-armed Yaksha?
Moduoye was opening the meal, while Daoran was counting other harvests, mainly a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry.
Although a small part was taken away by the horse thieves, the big head was still there, piled up in bits and pieces, half a head taller than Daoran.
It is roughly estimated that there are a thousand taels of silver and more than a hundred taels of gold. Not counting the value of the jewelry, it is definitely a huge sum of money.
Facing this unexpected fortune, Dao Ran was not too excited. In his previous life, he was a person who had seen big events, and now he was on the road to immortality. It was hard for him to lose his composure with just a little money.
However, this money is a good thing and cannot be thrown away casually. Daoran made a lot of tough tree vines and made a basket and put all the gold and silver in it.
Try carrying the basket on your back. It's a bit heavy, but it's still bearable.
Just as he was about to take a few steps with the big basket on his back, a big blue-black hand stretched out in front of Dao Ran.
"Master Daoran, if you want to travel far, you might as well let me give you a ride." Moduoye said.
"The young monk is going to Hangzhou, I'm afraid it's not that close." Daoran said a little surprised.
"It doesn't matter, Buddhism pays attention to convenience, and I am also a Buddhist protector. What's more, with my foot power, I can get to Hangzhou in less than a day." Moduoye insisted.
As the saying goes, hospitality is hard to reject, so Dao Ran naturally would not refuse it. He picked up the big basket with one hand and jumped into Moduoye's palm.
Moduoye put Dao Ran on his shoulders and ran towards Hangzhou.
Daoran sat on Moduoye's shoulder, feeling quite stable, mainly because Modoye also stretched out a hand to shield him from the wind, which can be said to be taking good care of him.
Daoran was a little flattered. When they met for the first time, this person was still unruly. He didn't expect that he would become so submissive after the second meeting.
"It seems that I have added too much charm these days." Dao Ran thought, then picked up the copper bowl and began to recite the Rebirth Mantra with concentration and seriousness.
Dao Ran had never tried to save resentful spirits, so it would be difficult for Ma San to be a guinea pig. The gentle but Zen-like scriptures were read from Dao Ran's mouth, which not only passed into the copper bowl, but also floated in the air.
into the ears of Moduoye.
Originally, evil spirits like Yaksha didn't like Buddhist scriptures very much, and they just felt irritated when they heard them. When they could enjoy them, it would probably be the time when they would achieve enlightenment.
Moduoye is still far away from attaining enlightenment, but Daoran's Rebirth Mantra does not make him feel uncomfortable. Instead, he has an indescribable special sense of intimacy.
When other monks recite the Rebirth Mantra, most of them think in their mind that "saving others is a great merit", but they don't know that the more they think like this, the farther away they are from compassion, just like becoming a Buddha immediately according to other people's head requirements.
.
But Daoran is completely different. Moduoye can hear the feeling of "doing one's best and obeying the destiny" from his scriptures.
Moduoye did not feel that Daoran was perfunctory, but felt that Daoran was more "enlightened" than other Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Daoran did not force them to achieve enlightenment, but just recited the scriptures calmly, as if
It is just the daily morning and evening classes in the temple.
Moduoye glanced at Daoran with the corner of his eyes. The young monk was still as majestic as ever. Although the recited mantra did not have a strong desire to save others, it was like spring breeze and rain.
.
It seems to be saying: "Amitabha, I will recite the Rebirth Mantra to you to the letter. Whether you want to let go of your obsession and go to reincarnation is your own business."
"In such a broad and generous state of mind, this mage is indeed extraordinary. He is a born disciple of the Buddha. No wonder that cauliflower snake said that he is the protagonist of the future great tribulation of heaven and earth. I'm afraid he is not the next Buddhist scripture collector appointed by the Buddha." Modo.
Ye sighed in his heart.
Daoran had only been down the mountain for a long time, and Mou Zhixuan and Moduoye had already had a full meal. This news had already spread among the Eight Heavenly Dragons.
After the journey to the west, there were still so many monsters in the world, but Daoran encountered one just after he came down the mountain, and it was also involved in a mortal court dispute.
Now everyone says that Master Daoran has a very heavy cause and effect. Even if he is not the protagonist of the great catastrophe like the monkey, he will definitely be an extremely important member of the future.
What's the problem with being an errand boy now? Anyway, I have to hug Daoran's thigh tightly.
Moduoye's footsteps were quite fast. From noon to sunset, and from sunset to noon, the city of Hangzhou appeared at the end of his sight.
Daoran stood on Moduoye's shoulder and looked at the city wall in the distance. He finally arrived in Hangzhou. I wonder if the white lady is waiting for her Xu Xian?
