14. I'm sorry, but it's actually me
"I went to write a letter because there was an old friend I knew in the nearby county town. Last time I made an appointment with him to have a drink together. This time I had something to do, so I couldn't go to the appointment. I could only write a letter to express my apology." Zhuo Jingning said pretentiously.
After pinching hundreds of vests, he was able to tell lies at will, and he was extremely experienced.
Yuan'er curled her lips.
She had no doubt about Zhuo Jingning's words. She asked just out of curiosity.
Because she just saw Zhuo Jingning passing on a letter from Baihe again.
The blood-colored halo that was even more fierce than the evil spirit really surprised her.
At first she thought that her brother's friend was a person in the right path, but now it seems... this is clearly a traitor who has penetrated into the right path!
Moreover, it is extremely difficult for the Little Wuxiang Realm. Why did this guy use the letter so easily without damaging his own cultivation?
Yuan'er was very confused. Could it be that the power her brother gave this guy was all used to supplement this guy's self-destructive cultivation?
But in this case, she could still sense the fluctuations of her brother's power!
Yuan'er frowned. She looked at Zhuo Jingning. The more she looked, the more she felt that she could not see through it. Because she could not sense the fluctuations of her brother's power, she could only vaguely sense that her brother's power was on Zhuo Jingning.
He neither transformed his cultivation nor used it for Zhuo Jingning, as if he had been absorbed by something on Zhuo Jingning.
"No wonder my brother values this guy so much..." Yuan'er muttered.
Even her brother couldn't see through it. Zhuo Jingning is really not simple!
When Zhuo Jingning saw Yuan'er, he didn't ask any more questions, so he hurried on his own.
The world is not peaceful at the moment.
Since Emperor Xuan of Song ascended the throne, he ignored the government affairs, and the court was in chaos and formed cliques and private interests. Several eunuchs were successively produced, and it was not until a monk came out of Buddhism that suppressed those eunuchs, and then the court was given a Qingming Festival.
However, after this eminent monk became the national teacher, he also followed the example of the eunuchs and began to control the court.
Emperor Xuan of Song believed in this national teacher and left everything to the national teacher for management.
This national teacher is not a good-for-nothing lamp. After holding the power, he began to rule out dissidents. In the early years, there were voices in the court opposing the national teacher, but now it has long disappeared.
However, how can a monk manage the government well?
At present, the imperial court has formed cliques and made more personal gains, and the county officials in various places only care about making money themselves. The people in the world are really suffering.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a Fengshan where “one rebels in ten steps, every household will be robbers”!
The reputation of a chivalrous scholar was so fast that in addition to being a young man, it was related to the chivalrous scholar's righteousness and wealth and helping the countryside.
Because of the chivalrous scholars, there are no less than ten thousand people living in this world.
How can such a good deed not be passed down to the world?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingning sighed in his heart.
The power of one person is limited after all.
He could only manage himself, not to mention in this world, the more he came into contact with the secrets hidden by those sects, the more he felt that the world was extremely strange.
It has nothing to do with those evil spirits and evil spirits. Zhuo Jingning can't tell me what's going on, but he always feels something is wrong.
All in all, it's very strange!
Zhuo Jingning was busy rushing to the road and took great care of his friend Zhong Kui's sister Yuan'er. Every other section of the way, he would ask Yuan'er if he was tired and whether he should find a place to take a break.
It was a bumpy journey and it was very tiring to take the bus.
This finally reduced the number of times that Yuan'er secretly rolled her eyes.
After a break in the day and night, Zhuo Jingning jumped out of the carriage for three days. He looked up at the outline of the mountain shadow in front of him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Nothing happened all the way.
Then, Zhuo Jingning turned to Yuan'er and said, "Yuan'er, I want to go up the mountain to Lanruo Temple. Can you wait in the inn first? Remember, no matter who knocks on the door, you are not allowed to open it."
"I understand, Brother Jingning." Two dimples appeared on Yuan'er's face, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her smile was particularly sweet.
Zhuo Jingning nodded.
Immediately, he went to find an inn for Yuan'er and asked for the best guest room. Before leaving, he took out a statue of the Arhat and handed it to Yuan'er.
"This Arhat statue, you wear it."
"Okay." Yuan'er took it obediently, and she glanced at it, and a hint of surprise flashed in her bright big eyes.
She recognized the origin of this Arhat statue.
This is a statue of a destined Arhat. It is said that it has the power of a true Buddha. There are only nine in the world, five of which are unknown, and the remaining four are two in the Arhat Temple, one in the Baima Yuhe Temple, and the other in the Xiaoqingliang Temple.
Yuan'er didn't expect that Zhuo Jingning actually had a statue of a destined arhat in his hand!
This guy is really not easy!
Yuan'er's eyes rolled and quickly put the Arhat image on his neck: "Thank you, Brother Jingning, I will wear this Arhat image well and will not lose it."
She smiled particularly sweetly.
Like a little fox.
She just wanted to take the opportunity to "occupy" this statue of a destined arhat.
There are only nine in the world, and no statue of a destined arhat is lower than the Five Soul Banner in her hand!
Zhuo Jingning's mouth twitched. He didn't expect this little girl to have a misconception, but it was also a fault that he didn't explain it clearly... Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingning suddenly remembered that the "Ancient Strange Wood" he had obtained seemed to be able to imitate another statue of an Arhat.
So he nodded in a pretended calm manner.
At worst, I can go back to the Arhat Temple and make a statue of Arhat.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingning glanced at the Arhat statue hanging on Yuan'er's chest. With this Arhat statue, he could leave with confidence.
...
Zhuo Jingning left the inn, but did not say that he would go up the mountain directly. Instead, he waited until late at night when it was quiet before he walked towards Black Mountain.
At this time, Zhuo Jingning had changed his figure and used the appearance of a man in the magical way.
He looked up at the vaguely visible outline of the temple, and then let out a long whistle. Suddenly, his voice was heard throughout the mountains and forests.
The monks in Lanruo Temple naturally heard it.
After a while, monks walked out of Lanruo Temple with torches. The first one was a middle-aged monk. Although he was shaved and wearing a monk's robe, he was full of momentum. At first glance, he looked like a butcher or an executioner at the execution ground in Caishikou.
He saw Zhuo Jingning, who was using the vest in the magic path at this time, his eyes flashed slightly, and his face showed a look of surprise.
He saw Zhuo Jingning's extremely profound Taoist practice.
Still above him.
