Chapter 119 Leaping from a Fish and Transforming into a Dragon?
Chapter 119 A fish leaps into a dragon?
This monk had an ordinary appearance, and his black monk's robes were shabby and old. He should have been ordinary and had no talent. But for some unknown reason, Zhu Su remembered this monk with just one glance.
No, he doesn't look like a monk. Although the monks of Bifeng Temple kneeling in front of Zhu Su don't look like monks, this black-clothed monk is different from them. These monks kneeling to beg for mercy give Zhu Su the feeling of
Liar. But this black monk feels like...
A sick tiger hiding its claws!
It was strange. He was obviously very respectful and smiling, but Zhu Su felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy, and the hairs on his back stood up.
"Is this the king you trapped?" Although he was wary, he was not afraid. The monk was dressed in monk's robes and was unarmed. Zhu Su had nothing to be afraid of. It was just his triangular eyes that made Zhu Su inexplicably wary.
"The young monk just wanted to see His Highness, but was unable to do so. He had no choice but to use a small plan. The young monk has found out that the property collected in the temple is locked in the cellar behind the palace. There are also some treasures accumulated by these greedy monks over the years in the cellar.
Your Highness can take it for himself to repay the young monk for being disrespectful." The monk in black said, neither humble nor arrogant.
These words made the fat abbot kneeling below furious. Are you using the temple property that you have accumulated for many years to pay for the sin of disrespect? You are not so confident in borrowing flowers to offer Buddhas! This temple is kind enough to take in you, a down-and-out monk, and you are using mine.
What should I use to repay my kindness for taking you in, if I can use the temple property to repay the crime of disrespect?
Zhu Su naturally didn't know about his resentment, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't bother to take it into consideration. He was now only focusing on the black monk with his triangular eyes lowered in a submissive manner. In many histories and romances, he had read about people who passed some outrageous actions.
He gained the attention of the powerful in this way, but he never thought that one day this kind of thing would happen to him.
"Please see me? What do you want?" Zhu Su's face was calm and he still had his hands behind his back, fully showing the arrogance that a prince of the Zhu family should have.
The eyes of the monk in black became more and more appreciative. A young prince has such a talent for change. Faced with such unexpected situations, he still remained calm and dominated the conversation. Isn't this a teenager?
What can a young man do? I heard that the fifth prince was reticent in the palace and was not outstanding among the other princes. But now the black-clothed monk is almost certain that this prince is hiding his talents and biding his time.
For what purpose does a prince keep a low profile? What else could he do?
The monk in black suppressed his excitement and trembled, trying to maintain a humble but neither humble nor arrogant appearance: "The young monk asks to see His Highness, but he has nothing to ask for. He just wants to make a fortune for His Highness..."
"Foretelling?" Li Jinglong next to Zhu Su suddenly became happy. "You are a bald donkey, but you learn from Taoist priests to tell fortunes? Don't you know that His Highness the King of Wu has earlier made it easy to spot thieves' deceptive tricks on the street? If you want to deceive him, you must first
Consider your conduct!"
"The poor monk once studied under Master Tongxuan Mingsu Hongdao, and subsequently learned the art of yin and yang. Naturally, he knows the method of divination." The monk in black said calmly. Li Jinglong and the monks in the temple were in an uproar. Tongxuan Mingsu Hongdao
The master's name is Xi Yingzhen, and he is the most famous master in the world today. He is a legendary figure who can penetrate the yin and yang. This monk is obviously a monk, but he can actually study under a master like Xi Yingzhen?
Zhu Su was even more vigilant in his heart. A monk followed a Taoist priest to learn yin and yang calculations. It can be seen that although he has shaved his head, he has no Buddha in his heart. A monk who does not respect gods and Buddha must be a ruthless person. The previous monk who had no Buddha in his heart has already
He created a great cause in the world, and his name is Zhu Yuanzhang.
Who was the other ruthless monk in history after Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhu Su had already guessed the identity of this person.
"Since the monk is willing to tell fortunes for me, then you can do it. But I wonder, monk, if you tell fortunes in front of the Buddha, will you be punished by the Buddha?" Zhu Su said provocatively.
"Amitabha, our compassionate Buddha will naturally not blame this little monk for such a trivial matter. Your Highness, please come to the hall and let the young monk have a look." The black-clothed monk said with his hands together without changing his expression.
Having guessed his identity, Zhu Su also guessed some of this person's intentions. He didn't expect that his ambition had already been in his heart so early. But since he knew what he was thinking, he could be sure that he would not be right.
He was not in a good position, so Zhu Su refused the requests of the guards and Li Jinglong and followed the monk in black to the Main Hall alone.
There were bursts of sandalwood in the hall, and the Buddha statues were solemn and solemn. It seemed as if everything in heaven and earth fell silent. Zhu Su glanced around, and the black-clothed monk respectfully invited him to sit down, so he lifted up his royal robe and sat on the futon.
The black-robed monk also sat down. "Your Highness, please extend your left palm and give me a look."
Zhu Su glanced at him with a half-smile but not a smile. After guessing his identity, he had an absolute upper hand in thinking. Now he only needed to quietly watch the other party's pretentious performance.
"Monk, what did you see?"
"Well, Your Highness is wearing golden scales, which means he is destined to be rich and powerful." The black-clothed monk said.
"Nonsense, my father is the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so the son born from a real dragon will naturally have golden scales. Do you only say these auspicious words? You waste all your efforts just to ask me to reward you with some silver to buy wine?"
"Your Highness, please be patient. The young monk has not finished speaking. As the saying goes, 'golden scales jump over the pond and transform into dragons', the young monk predicts that your Highness will have a future..."
"One day I will be able to leap from fish to dragon!"
"The young monk is considered to have a small talent. If I am not abandoned, I would like to follow His Highness's command and do one or two chores. What do you think of Your Highness?"
The monk in black stared at Zhu Su with burning eyes. A pair of triangular eyes like a sick tiger seemed to be burning with blazing flames.
"Fish leaps and transforms into a dragon?" Oh, this guy really showed his tail. Transform into a dragon, into a real dragon. What is a real dragon? Isn't it the emperor? Legend has it that after he met the fortune teller Yuan Gong, he devoted himself to thinking about what he wanted.
Stirring up the world, he uses the dragon-slaying technique he has learned. I don’t know if this is true or not?
Now he wants to instigate me to covet the crown prince position? That's strange. Why not go to the fourth child?
"The monk has misjudged the person." Zhu Su patted the king's robe and stood up. "Can a leaping fish turn into a dragon? Every time before the rain in the Qinhuai River, there are always fish jumping up high, unwilling to be lonely. Most of them end up being peeping on the sidelines.
The food in the bird's mouth turns into a dragon? Xiao Wang's knowledge is shallow, but he has never seen it before."
"I'm used to lying flat. Even if I become a fish, I just like to stay still. I don't have the hobby of jumping around. I'm afraid the monk has found the wrong person." After saying that, he was about to leave the temple.
"His Highness likes to lie down? Not necessarily?" The black-clothed monk suddenly spoke. Although his tone was still neither humble nor overbearing, his speaking speed had increased by three points. "If Your Highness likes to lie down, why would you seek the opportunity to leave the palace alone and start your own business? And
Why are there so many people smelting steel every day? And why are we buying people's hearts and training our soldiers?"
"Your Highness has won His Majesty's favor. If you are still hesitating, wouldn't you be entrusting someone with your authority? The young monk has put in a lot of trouble, and I believe that Your Highness can also know the sincerity of the young monk's heart. Why should you be wary?"
