Chapter Ten Little Monks of the Ten Directions?(1/2)
The door was indeed open.
However, there were two tall and burly men guarding it inside.
When Mo Ziming and his party walked to the door, there was a noise inside...
"Hey, the little monk heard that you are receiving guests here, so he made a special trip here. Why are you changing your mind now? Are you bullying someone?"
"Monk, don't mess around here. My housekeeper has taught me and only accepts scholars."
"The little monk is also a scholar. If you don't believe it, you will recite poems for you now..."
At the angle where Mo Ziming stood, he could only see the monk's side face.
But even so, it didn't prevent his expression from becoming surprised again... just as he saw Zhiqiu at the beginning.
It is both familiar and intimate.
It seems like I'm back in my previous life.
If it is not a face-like relationship, then this monk is Shifang.
Of course, even Shifang Mo Ziming would not come forward to recognize each other directly, so he had to change his method.
"Two heroes..."
Mo Ziming went up and hugged the two big men and clasped his fists: "We didn't find a place to stay in the town. I heard that Guizhuang could stay, so I rushed over."
The two big men looked at Mo Ziming, then looked at Qin Song and others, and then replied with a greeting.
"That's right, as long as you can pass any test of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can stay here, and also provide free wine and food."
"What? Do you still need to test the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
When Qin Song and others heard this, they looked at each other.
"Yes, my house owner has always admired talented scholars. If you don't have any talent, it will not be worthy of our reception."
This is quite reasonable.
After all, there is no free lunch in the world. This is a private land, and the host is not obliged to receive anyone.
Therefore, setting rules is natural.
Otherwise, a large group of people would come and say they were scholars, so wouldn’t the villa be crowded?
"Hey, do you want to test the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? The monk can play chess, so I can also participate in the test."
"I said to monk, do you not understand what we said? I have said it several times. First of all, you must be a scholar..."
At this time, Mo Ziming couldn't help but step forward and said, "You two, let's say something fair next.
From the following point of view, there is no conflict between scholars and monks.
Reading and people, this must be separated and understood.
Reading is a daily behavior. People refer to me, you, and they, and this little master.
So, I would like to ask this little master, have you read a book?"
Shifang smiled knowingly: "Of course I have read it. The little monk not only reads Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, but also reads the Four Books and Five Books... Buddhist scriptures are also books, right?"
Mo Ziming smiled with relief and said to the two men: "Did you hear it? This little master is a monk and a scholar.
So, he did not break the rules you set."
"this……"
This time, it was the two big men's turn to look at each other.
"Hahaha, what this donor said makes sense. The little monk, thank you for your kind help."
Shifang Heshi thanked him.
It's really not like a face.
It's really the Monk of Shifang.
"You little master, don't be polite!"
Mo Ziming replied with a gift.
"How about this, I'll ask the owner what he meant."
One of the big men finally gave in and said he wanted to ask the owner of the manor.
This is understandable. On other people's territory, you have to follow some unspoken rules.
As soon as the man left, Mo Ziming pointed at Lu Buping and others and introduced it, of course, including himself.
The ten directions are quite polite and polite, and they are very polite.
Finally, Mo Ziming subconsciously asked, "I wonder where the little master became a monk?"
"In the other side of Dongyang, the Golden Buddha Temple."
“Oh~”
Mo Zi said oh.
Never heard of it.
The most famous ancient temple in Jiangnan is Gusu Hanshan Temple.
Especially the popular song "Night Mooring on Maple Bridge" made Hanshan Temple famous all over the world.
"The moon sets, crows cry, frost is everywhere in the sky, and the river maple fishing fire is facing the sorrow. The bells of the passenger ship sounded in the middle of the night in Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City."
"Hehe, have you never heard of it?" Shifang seemed to guess Mo Ziming's thoughts, and couldn't help but smile and explain: "Actually, our temple is very small, and there are only a few people in total."
No wonder I have never heard of it. The temples of several monks are indeed very small.
However, Mo Ziming knew very well that these monks were probably all hidden masters.
For example, Master Baiyun, the master of the Shifang, has already mastered the indestructible body of Vajra, and his strength is probably comparable to Yan Chixia. They are both masters who can fight against the thousand-year-old tree demons one-on-one.
As for Shifang... I guess I haven't learned anything yet and am confused.
However, based on the performance in the movie plot and Master Baiyun's indulgence and spoiling of Shifang, Mo Ziming boldly speculated that Shifang is likely to be the reincarnation of a monk.
Just like Fahai, he was able to become the host of Jinshan Temple at a young age, and he was extremely powerful.
That's because Fahai is the reincarnation of Mohuluojia among the eight heavenly dragons, which is also the origin of the "Great Powerful Heavenly Dragon" he likes to use the most.
After a while, the man who went in to report quickly walked out.
"How is it? Do you owner agree?"
Shifang stepped forward and asked.
"The owner of the manor said that he can break the example. However, you still have to pass the test to stay."
"Haha, of course there is no problem with this!" Shifang grinned and said, "Don't think that the little monk is a monk, it would be difficult for the little monk to say that the skills of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not bad."
Speaking of which, many Buddhist and Taoist disciples are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and have great attainments.
After all, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also a way of cultivating one's own character and cultivating one's own character.
It can even be transformed into a combat skill.
For example, some experts are conducive to music to defeat the enemy, or use chess pieces to set up formations to trap the enemy, etc.
"Please, please!"
Under the leadership of one of the men, Mo Ziming and others came to a side courtyard.
As soon as I entered the yard, I heard another noise...
"Do you understand the artistic conception of painting?"
"Young Master, sorry, please don't make things difficult for us, please!"
"What if I don't leave?"
"Then don't blame us for being thick..."
In the yard, a young man in a white shirt was angry because he failed the test and was arguing with the other party loudly.
"Forget Brother Wu, let's go."
The two scholars who were walking with him were afraid that things would go big, so they rushed forward and persuaded each other.
"Hmph, what a broken place!"
The young man in white snorted heavily, flicked his sleeves and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.
"It seems that this test is not easy?"
Lu Buping couldn't help but mutter.
"It's not too difficult, most people can pass it."
The big man who brought them in replied.
Then he explained: "There are four rooms in this courtyard, corresponding to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. You can choose any one of them to participate in the test.
To be continued...
