Spirit Ruins

Chapter 30 Don'tjie

"Who are you?"

"Disciple Lin Xiao came from the State of Chu for more than a month."

"Don't call yourself a disciple, you are not a person in my Buddhism... Oh, by the way, you came all the way from the State of Chu to the Wuyun City where birds don't shit. What's the matter with me?"

"Ask the master to accept me as an apprentice and pass on the method of my life!"

The method of long life! What a big tone! How do you know that I have a way to live?"

"The disciple has heard of the master's deeds and knew that you want to accept apprentices, so he specially came to visit the master."

"Who on earth did you hear about my life? I only know Buddhism! Are you crazy to live a long life?

“......”

"Forget, I won't argue with you. Even if I really have a way to live, why should I accept you as an apprentice?"

"Master, aren't you going to accept apprentices?"

"I said I would accept you as an apprentice, but did I say I would accept you as an apprentice? Get out of here! Don't waste your time. I still have to meditate and recite scriptures!"

...

"Who are you?"

"Did the master forget me? I'm Lin Xiao."

"Lin Xiao! Why are you here again?"

"Ask the master to pass on the method of my long life!"

"You elm head, I said, I don't know any bullshit long life method, I only know the Buddha's law!"

"Then please ask the master to pass on my Dharma!"

"If you want to learn Buddhism, go to the street and buy a 'King Kong Sutra'. Don't harass me!"

"I want to ask the master to accept me as an apprentice and teach me your supreme Dharma!"

"Why should I accept you as an apprentice?"

"I am already a warrior in the bloody realm, and I have not been exposed to the skills of walking in the fairyland, which fully meets the conditions for you to accept apprentices. More importantly, I have perseverance!"

" Perseverance? Didn't you look at the mountain gate outside when you came to this temple? How many bloody warriors are kneeling there? Some people have been kneeling at the mountain gate for more than a month! What does your perseverance mean? Get out of here, and don't harass Lao Nang again!"

...

"Why is it you again! Are you still coming to be a teacher? Be careful, I'll pat you with the soles of your shoes!"

"Master, please calm your anger, I'm not here to visit the teacher this time! I'm here to buy you a drink!"

"Drink? Why do you bring wine to the monk?

"Isn't the master not a Buddhist name? That's right. I specially bought a jar worth thousands of money, which is known as the best 'Baizhen Xianlu wine' in Wuyun City, and invited the master to taste it.

"You are a little enlightened, but do you want me to accept you as an apprentice with a jar of '100 fairy wine'? There is no door! Although wine is a good wine, it is not a rare thing in the world. A few days ago, many people sent me more precious things, but the old man didn't agree!"

"The master misunderstood. I came here today just to find a master to drink and talk about Buddhism, and I didn't mean to worship the teacher. Moreover, my jar of wine is different from other Xianlu wines and has a unique flavor. You will know it as soon as you try it.

......

"Good wine! It's really delicious in the world! Boy, your wine is absolutely different from the 'hundred fairy dew' outside. It tastes a hundred times more mellow! What on earth did you add to it?

"The master's eyes are really as bright as torches, but let me sell a small barrier. Can the master only drink without asking the origin of the wine?"

"Good! As long as you have wine, I'm too lazy to ask! However, although your wine tastes good, a jar alone is still not enough to impress me to accept you as an apprentice! There are still dozens of people waiting to give the treasure to the old man!"

"It's easy. I'll bring a jar of wine every once in the future. What do you think, master?"

"You still have so much stock! OK! As long as you make Laoqi drink and drink happily, one day Laoqi may be moved by the Buddha's heart, and it is not impossible to accept you as an apprentice!"

"Thank you, Master!"

...

At dawn, Lin Xiao woke up, opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the guest room. He thought about what had happened in the three months since he came to Wuyun City. After a moment, he sighed slightly.

He thought he had a trick and mixed some of the snake valley spirit milk in his hand into the fairy dew wine, which attracted the monk to be hooked. However, the monk was hooked, but Lin Xiao suddenly realized after sending out more than a dozen jars of Xianlu wine mixed with spiritual milk that he could not stop fishing for this big fish.

Since the last time he revealed his willingness to accept him as an apprentice, he has not been moved by thunder. Every time Lin Xiao sent the wine, he would drink it. However, after drinking, he kicked Lin Xiao out of the temple and did not give him the opportunity to worship his teacher.

More than two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and a small bottle of spiritual milk has been about to run out, but the matter of worshipping the teacher is still far away. Lin Xiao has spent more than three months here, and now he still has achieved nothing, and he can't help but be a little discouraged.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly felt a burst of restlessness in his chest. He suddenly turned up, walked to a window, and pushed open the window.

In the early morning, the sun did not rise, and the moist air outside the window came to my face.

Yan is a medium-sized country in the north of Chu. Wuyun City is located in the northwest of Yan. A river called "Cangjiang" outside the city rushes through. The terrain ten miles away from the river begins to rise, forming a majestic mountain range called Wuyun Mountains, while Wuyun City is a small mountain city outside the Wuyun Mountains.

Wuyun City is built on the mountain, and more than a dozen artificially paved mountain roads winding up, like more than a dozen dragons, sometimes meeting and sometimes separating. The dense mountain buildings are arranged on both sides of these scattered mountain roads. On the other side of the mountain, there are more than a dozen huge mountain waterfalls. The water flows straight down from the top of the mountain and rumbles into the big lake under the mountain. The big lake is divided into several branches, winding to the distance, and finally converging in the Cang River.

This room where Lin Xiao is located belongs to a small inn. The inn was built halfway up the mountain. Looking out of the window, you can see the outline and face of this small city built on the mountain.

As if infected by the magnificent scenery of Wuyun City, Lin Xiao's depressed mood was also became much more cheerful. He took a few deep breaths, then packed up his clothes, grabbed a jar of "special" Xianlu wine that had been prepared for a long time, put on the table, opened the door and walked out.

The thick fog in the mountains in the morning has not dissipated, and the bluestone paved road is very slippery. At this time, Lin Xiao has grown a long shawl hair, cast with a hairband and tied behind him. With his handsome face and blue clothes, walking on the mountain road is like a handsome young man singing from the fog, which makes some local women very intoxicated.

Not long after, a gambling sound suddenly came to Lin Xiao's ears, and the rough shouts of all kinds of gamblers were endless. Looking up, not far away is a gambling house with a big "gambling" mark hanging in front of the door sign.

When walking through the door of the gambling house, Lin Xiao's footsteps obviously slowed down and seemed to be reluctant to leave, but in the end, he continued to take a big step and walked in front of the gambling house.

At this time, some gamblers who gathered at night in the gambling house saw Lin Xiao and greeted him very familiarly, "Brother Lin Xiao, why don't you come in and gamble!"

"Yes, Brother Lin, everyone has been waiting for you for a few days! Come in and bet two before you leave!" Someone should be in harmony.

Lin Xiao waved his hand behind him, "I have something to do in the morning. Come back in the afternoon!" I won't leave a piece of armor for you!"

A new gambler mixed in the crowd. Hearing Lin Xiao's arrogant shouts, he couldn't help raising his head, looking at Lin Xiaoyuan's back, and then asking the old gambler beside him, "Who is that little white-faced guy?" Speak so hard!"

The new gambler is dressed in brown clothes, with thin cheeks and a sallow face. His chin has a sparse goat's beard, revealing two yellow front teeth between his words, which is described as very obscene.

"The kid who just came to Wuyun City three months ago has won a lot of money in this Hongfu gambling house these days and is listed as one of the most unpopular gamblers by the people of Hongfu gambling house." The old gambler stared at the Tianjiu card in his hand and said intently.

The man was shocked when he heard the words and said, "This woman-like guy is so good at gambling? I really have to bet with him when I have time!"

"Wang Laowu, be careful not to lose your trousers!" Someone made a coax.

The obscene gambler named Wang Laowu hummed unconvincedly: "Don't look down on people! Whoever loses his trousers will have to bet on it!" After saying that, he glanced at Lin Xiao's back, as if he had listed Lin Xiao as one of the enemies in the casino in his heart, and then asked the people around him, "Where is this boy going with a jar of wine early in the morning?"

Someone who knew replied, "I went to the ruined temple on the mountain to find the little monk with white eyebrows for a drink."

"Do not quit the monk?" Wang Laowu muttered in his heart, "What is this boy doing with that old monk? Did you go to worship your teacher? This old monk has a strange temper, his eyes are above the top, and he has always been good at people. How can he drink wine with him?

After thinking for a long time, Wang Laowu simply didn't think about it and shouted, "Come on, let's continue to gamble!" Don't learn from those idiots to find monks early in the morning. It's unlucky! It's hard for such a fool not to lose!"
