Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 12
[Chapter 12 The Monk and the Boy]
“But… what is this?”
Chen Luo stretched out a finger, his thoughts moved slightly, and he saw a wisp of mist-like, shimmering seven-colored gas emanating from Chen Luo’s fingertips, like A smoke snake wrapped around Chen Luo’s fingers.
When he wrote nearly 50,000 words, Chen Luo discovered that there was a colorful mist the size of soybeans in his body, and when he felt it carefully, he realized that every time he finished writing a word of “Swordsman”, there would be a trace of insignificant mist. The mist is generated inside the body.
Now almost a third of the book has been completed, and the mist the size of soybeans has also condensed into the size of a finger.
“Is this Qi?” Chen Luo was a little puzzled. As far as he knew, “Qi” is the foundation of practice in this world, which needs to be obtained through chanting scriptures, so there are only three kinds of Qi in the world.
The cyan aura is the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism.
Purple Qi is the innate source Qi of Taoism.
The golden air is the true meaning of reincarnation in Buddhism.
In addition to these three kinds of qi, there is also the saying of “half way qi”, which refers to the luck of the dynasty, and the color is distinguished by the five virtues of the dynasty. For example, the Daxuan Dynasty belongs to Jinde, and the corresponding color is white.
Apart from this, there is no other “qi” in the world.
“Young master, young master…” Xiaohuan rushed into the study suddenly, scaring Chen Luo’s colorful mist into his body quickly.
“What’s wrong?”
“Outside… there is someone outside, who died at the door of our house.” Xiaohuan pointed to the direction outside the door with one hand, and pressed her chest with the other, panting.
“Go and see…” Chen Luo got up and walked outside. When Chen Xuan and Chen Ping left in the morning, they took all the people in the mansion out of the city, and the servants hadn’t had time to call back, so at this time there were only Chen Luo and Xiaohuan in the city mansion. This kind of thing can only be handled by him.
“Miss’s face powder is used up, I wanted to buy some new ones, but when I opened the door, I saw him lying in front of our house, it scared me to death.” Coming to the door, Xiaohuan pointed to a stone lion in front of the door Sure enough, Chen Luo saw a person leaning against the stone lion, with his head drooping, looking lifeless. Naturally, there were many spectators around.
Chen Luo approached the other party slowly, Xiaohuan grabbed Chen Luo’s sleeve from behind and whispered, “Master, let’s report to the police. You are just awake, what if his ghost bumps into you again?”
Chen Luo’s heart warmed up. The little maid looked carefree. She didn’t expect that she still cared about herself. As expected, she followed her master and was about to give Xiaohuan a bright smile to express her gratitude when she heard Xiaohuan say again: “You It’s okay to be bumped into, but I’m the only one in the house, I’m afraid…”
Sure enough, it was the Xiaohuan I knew!
Chen Luo ignored Xiaohuan and walked up to the man. To be honest, with Zhong Kui protecting him, he really wasn’t afraid of little ghosts.
Chen Luo looked at the other party carefully, his face was dirty, he looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same age as himself, he was a boy, holding a broken sword in his hand, his tattered top showed his body covered with scars.
“Poor life…”
Chen Luo stretched out his hand to check the other person’s breath, and sure enough, he couldn’t feel breathing, and then touched the other person’s pulse, but he couldn’t feel the beating of the pulse either.
“Too dead…” Chen Luo sighed, stood up, and was about to call Xiaohuan to hire a passer-by to report to the police, when he suddenly heard a strange voice from the corpse on the ground—
“Gu…”
Chen Luo was stunned After a while, he quickly
squatted down and said softly: “High-end ingredients often only need the simplest cooking method.” The juice flowed into the mouth, biting the meat ball soaked in juice, neither fat nor greasy, smooth in the mouth…”
“Goo…”
“Liangshan small pork is roasted with skin on. The tender and thick skin is the essence of small pork. It is best when it is roasted to a golden color. Large pieces of lean meat are served with chili, soybeans, and sesame. Don’t mention how delicious it is…”
“Sizzling…” Xiaohuan who was standing aside took a sip of saliva, although she didn’t know what the young master was talking about, the soup-filled steamed buns and Liangshan small pork, but these words matched the strangeness of the young master. Xiaohuan still drooled unconsciously.
Almost at the same time, the “dead” corpse suddenly raised its hand, grabbed Chen Luo’s sleeve, and said weakly: “Tell me two more paragraphs…”
“Xiaohuan, go get a bowl of porridge!” Chen Luo After Luo gave an order, Xiaohuan froze for a moment, and hurried into Chen’s residence. After a while, Xiaohuan ran out holding a bowl and handed it to Chen Luo: “Master, it’s just a little cold!”
“It’s okay!” Chen Luo took the small bowl, Handed it to the other party’s mouth, “Can you hear me? I’ll feed you some porridge, and you swallow it slowly…”
After finishing speaking, Chen Luo was about to feed the porridge into the ragged boy’s mouth, when the boy’s mouth suddenly flickered Jin Guang blocked the porridge from the boy’s mouth.
“Namo Amitabha…” A Buddha’s cry sounded behind Chen Luo, “Don’t worry about the little benefactor, he can’t eat any food!”
Chen Luo frowned slightly, followed the voice, and saw a fair-faced man in cassock The monk stood not far away, bowing to himself with palms together.
“Buddhist disciples!” Chen Luo’s heart skipped a beat. This was the first time he had seen a Buddhist sect in this world, and it looked somewhat similar to the Buddhist sect in the world he was familiar with.
“Master, why is this so?” Chen Luo asked sincerely.
The monk’s face remained unchanged, and he said: “The poor monk has cast a spell on him. He is not allowed to eat rice or drop water for ten days.”
Xiaohuan frowned, and stood up: “You monk, are you killing people? Normal people ten If you don’t eat or drink every day, you’re going to die, and you’re not afraid of the government arresting you!”
The monk smiled slightly, took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and said, “This benefactor borrowed a hundred taels of silver from the poor monk, and has a bet with the poor monk. If he doesn’t eat a grain of rice or drink a drop of water within ten days, if If you can do it, the debt will be cancelled, if you can’t, you have to accept the poor monk as your teacher, and return to the Western Buddhist realm with the poor monk, and become a little novice.”
“If you can’t make it through, but you refuse to admit defeat to the poor monk, In the end, he died of starvation and thirst, and he will pay with his own life, and he will not owe me anything.”
“Now, the deadline for this loan is still two days away.”
Chen Luo was about to speak, but Xiaohuan cursed: “You You monk, don’t lie to me! This little brother’s clothes are torn, and he doesn’t even have a good sword. You said he asked you for a hundred taels, but what about the silver?”
Hearing Xiaohuan’s words, there were crowds watching. People also started talking, pointing at the monk. The monk was not in a hurry, and said slowly: “There are a pair of brothers in Qiansong County. The elder brother raises horses for a rich family. The younger brother got on the horse to play, but the horse was frightened, and the younger brother fell off the horse. In order to save the younger brother, the older brother shot three arrows in succession. Killed a good horse. The big family asked for one hundred taels of compensation, otherwise they would be sent to the officials. The younger brother was ashamed and sold himself on the side of the road, but the price was one hundred taels.”
“One hundred taels, a child like him, can If you buy twenty of them, no one will buy them.” The monk said flatly, without any emotion, “Someone told him that in a gambling shop, selling them separately is more valuable than selling them whole.”
“Chop one Fingers, five taels; stabbing yourself, ten taels; one ear fifteen taels, one eye thirty taels…”
“When I led the little benefactor into the underground gambling house, that brother had already lost a pair of ears One eye, it’s pitiful… The gambler was beaten to death by the little benefactor. But the younger brother grabbed the little benefactor and said that the other party hadn’t given him any money!”
“The poor monk happened to have one hundred taels on him. The little benefactor accepted me as his teacher, so he gave him the money. He was not willing. I also said that I could make a bet with me, and I would give him the hundred taels. He agreed.”
“The little benefactor learned from the poor monk . I got one hundred taels of silver here, and gave it to the other party together with my valuables and clothes.”
“The little benefactor is so kind, it really is destined to be with my Buddhist family…”
“Yuan your sister!” Chen Luo cursed, “I’m almost dead! I’ll pay him back the one hundred taels, and you unlock the spell!” The
monk shook his head slightly: “It’s not right, poor monk doesn’t want money, As long as he is a disciple!”
Chen Luo’s face showed an angry look, “He is going to die soon!”
“The poor monk knows, but the poor monk does not want money.”
“He owes you money, not your life!” Chen Luo said angrily, ” I’ll pay it back for him, you won’t suffer!” The
monk ignored Chen Luo, and looked at the young man: “Little benefactor, now you only need to call Master, and the poor monk will immediately undo the spell.”
The young man who was awakened by Chen Luo also had no strength Turning her head, she just opened her mouth slightly –
Bah!
……
Chen Luo suddenly stopped being angry, looked at the monk coldly, and called out: “Xiaohuan!
” He glanced at Chen Luo suspiciously, but turned around and ran away.
Chen Luo ignored the monk, walked back to the ragged boy, and patted him on the shoulder: “Persist a little longer, I can help you…
