Chapter 17 The First Famous Monk

"Girl, do you want to figure it out?"

The front yard of the Jokhang Temple is lined with flowers and plants. Just at this time, faithful men and women come here to beg for fame for their son who failed the imperial examination.

Under the banyan tree, there was a monk in white clothes standing, holding a bunch of copper plates in his hand, he stopped one by one, he yelled for half an hour, but no one paid any attention.

Xu Heguang looked at the back and felt a little familiar. He took a step forward and recognized it.

Isn't this the liar who tricked him into a dozen bowls of chaos yesterday?

The liar also saw him, and was slightly taken aback.But he didn't feel ashamed at all, and after a while, his eyes lit up, as if seeing a good buddy, he leaned over: "Little friend, it's you again, we are so destined!"

He raised the copper plate string in his hand, "Would you like to do a fortune telling?"

The bruised and swollen marks on his face hadn't disappeared yet, and he didn't look like a decent monk at first glance.

Xu He complained in his heart, so only people would believe and have ghosts.

Xu He shook his head: "No."

The little monk refused to give up, and tried to persuade him: "Don't worry about it, I think your seal is dark, and things may not go well recently."

...can you speak human language?

Xu He looked at him silently for a while, then pointed to his clothes: "Can you see the texture of the clothes I'm wearing?"

The little monk was dumbfounded and shook his head, not understanding what he meant.But when his eyes fell on Xu He's clothes, he hissed inwardly.The golden pattern on the black hem is shining in the light, this kid is really rich.

Xu He hugged his Rubik's Cube, and said slowly: "Believe it or not, you talk nonsense again. When I wave, a bunch of people will come out and beat you black."

"..."

"Have you counted that you are not going well today?"

The little monk silently recited Amitabha Buddha, took a few steps back, and bowed to Xu He, "I'm disturbing the benefactor."

Xu He twitched the corners of his mouth, cheating and fooling around in the street, can this monk be a little conscious of being a monk?

"Can't you do some normal things to make money?"

The little monk was stunned by his question, with a complicated expression, with a bruised nose and a swollen face, "Donor, I actually don't want to."

He sighed faintly: "I am not a monk from the Jokhang Temple. Our temple has been dismantled, and only me and Master are left. I want to make money to support the two of us."

It sounded really miserable.

Xu He: "Oh, then go for it."

I was not moved at all, nor did I have the slightest urge to help the poor.

The little monk choked back the words he hadn't said yet. His expression of bitterness and hatred could not be maintained, and it cracked. He struggled and cried bitterly: "Benefactor, I am really pitiful! My master is 70 years old." Now, I still can’t eat a good meal a day, chewing vegetable leaves, gnawing rotten bark, and knocked out several teeth! The place we live in is also dilapidated, and we sleep in the water when it rains.”

Xu He really convinced him, he could say everything as if it were true, "If you really have such a poor master, why didn't you bring some Chaos back to him yesterday."

"... Uh." I didn't expect this one.

Xu He rolled his eyes: "You are young, you should do less immoral things."

However, the facts have proved that the immoral things this monk did will never be lessened by a word of his.

Xu He met him again at night, and it was still an even more embarrassing scene.

The monk's body became stuck after his head emerged from a dog hole covered in flowers and grass in the backyard.She raised her head and met his big eyes, feeling awkward for a while.

The monk's face became more colorful, with new and old injuries, colorful, and evenly beaten.He probably didn't expect such a coincidence.

Xu He looked at him under the moonlight, and it was hard to describe in words.

Xu He is not in a good mood now.

The eldest princess just came over and said that she was afraid that he would be bored, so she found something for him and left a stack of scriptures, asking him to copy it when he had nothing to do.

Xu He counted, there are four.

……Oh shit.

He really would rather go back to the Academy.

Halfway through the copy, I heard the sound, and the more I listened, the more irritable I became.He rushed outside angrily, only to see the bushes in the corner shaking, he approached, and a bald head popped out from inside.

So this is the situation now.

Xu He hasn't made a decision yet, whether to push his head out.

The little monk suddenly looked like he was seeing his own mother. With snot and tears, he hugged Xu He's leg and cried loudly: "Ouch! Little friend! Help me! There's a mad dog chasing after me!" !"

Damn, Xu He stared wide-eyed, why did this buddy hug him at the slightest disagreement!

He kicked his legs in disgust, trying to shake him off.

The little monk refused to let him die, and all the snot and tears rubbed on his legs: "If you don't save me, I will really die this time."

"open."

The little monk continued to cry: "I don't! My little friend, please save me. After you save me, I will be your cow and horse, and I will admit it!"

Xu He caught the point of his words, and he stopped moving, "Really?"

Across the yard, the sound of dog barking gradually approached, and the dog barked louder and louder, scaring black magpies and shattering the silent night.The little monk was so scared that his scalp went numb, and he said incoherently: "Really, really, really! Really! Help me."

"It's done." Xu He grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the hole with all his strength.

Climbing from the cave to the grass, the monk wept with joy as if he had been reborn.Xu He took the discarded wooden boards next to him and blocked the opening of the hole.The dog that was chasing him was blocked by the wall, barking in frustration.

Xu He didn't intend to drag the monk into the house.

He sat face to face with him on the grass.

The monk was full of gratitude to him: "Little friend, you are really a Bodhisattva."

Xu He didn't want to listen to his nonsense, and was a little curious about where he went to commit crimes and came back, and was chased here by dogs. After thinking about it, Xu He guessed: "You were discovered stealing something."

The little monk's expression instantly became stiff.

Xu He knew that he had guessed right, and clicked his tongue: "It's ok, you've already done all the bad things."

At this point, the little monk lost all face, and resentfully said: "I didn't steal anything, I just set up a ladder to try to steal a lamp in front of his door. Unexpectedly, the head of the household was stingy, not only sent his servants to beat me, And let the dog bite me." The more he said, the more angry he became: "Wow, after chasing him for two streets, he even chased him up the mountain! How easy is it for me! Why don't you just steal a lamp!"

It's fine if I didn't beat you to death, Xu He: "...Did you steal the lamp?"

The little monk shook his head in grief and indignation.

"Then you can really do it." Xu He mocked with a half-smile.

He looked at this monk up and down, and turned his head a few times. Xu He felt that this monk was also very powerful. He was still alive by cheating and abducting, which was indeed a kind of ability.

Xu He's eyeballs are very dark, so when he looks at people, he always looks too serious.

The little monk's scalp was numb from his sight.

Xu He approached suddenly, hooking his fingers: "I have a way to help you make money, do you want to hear it?"

The little monk didn't believe him, but the savior still wanted to show some face, so he leaned forward: "Say it."

Xu He said: "Look, if you become a generation of eminent monks, the money will come naturally."

"..." Nonsense, that's right, an eminent monk gets more than a dozen taels of gold for every meeting.

Seeing the emotion in his eyes, Xu He smiled and said, "I'll teach you how to become an eminent monk."

...Is there another way?The little monk became interested and said, "How do you say it?"

Xu He had never eaten pork in his previous life, and he had seen pigs run away, and there was a fortune teller with a banner on the side of the street casually, and his mouth was metaphysics.

"It's fine for you to speak vaguely, ambiguously and mysteriously."

The little monk shook his head: "This is vague, who will believe it?"

"Listen to me," Xu Dao said, "it hits the nail on the head at the beginning, that's a fortune teller. A master of Taoism, one mouth is a secret, understand, secret, you can't talk too much. The first step, you go to change your body first." Outrageous clothes, dress up better."

"...Understood." The eminent monk also has to look at his face, but this is no problem, he is still a little confident in his appearance.

Xu He said: "First find someone to act in a play. It is best to be a street bully who robs the daughters of the people, unworthy children and grandchildren who bully the old mother and so on. Just recite Buddhist scriptures and appear in the crowd. The way of appearance should be grand, silent, and walk like a wind. Go to the crowd. Remember, don’t save people, you just look at the wicked, and don’t blame them. If you don’t understand, just smile and leave.”

The little monk was dumbfounded, "What?"

Xu He said disgustedly: "I don't have any understanding at all, you should go back and farm." Even though he said that, he still diligently said: "Just talk about some nonsense, such as Don't Turn Back at Midnight, Moonrise and Clothes And so on, the former asked the person to pretend to be scared to death by a ghost when he turned around in the middle of the night, and the latter asked the person to pretend to be strangled to death by clothes, and then bribed a few people to spread it around. At that time, the onlookers reacted , I just think you are awesome."

The little monk looked very hesitant. It sounded reasonable, but he just didn't think it was practical.

Xu He paused: "Just make a few more similar incidents like this, and if you gain some fame, you can attack some famous old ladies. Old people are old and believe in these things the most. If you can get them to Anyone who looks at each other with admiration, and gets a name among the high-ranking families, is half the battle."

This step is the key, the little monk vaguely realized something, and tentatively asked: "Then how to do this."

Xu He grinned: "It's not easy!"

Immediately, the little monk's eyes lit up with nervous anticipation, and he sat upright, listening attentively.

"That is--"

Xu He raised his breath, faced the little monk with eyes as bright as Xingzi, paused, let out his breath again, and said indifferently, "Oh, I remembered, I still have four Buddhist scriptures to copy."

"..." It turned out to be waiting here.

The little monk was very itchy, hesitated again and again, and said with a painful face, "I'll copy a copy for you, can I?"

Xu Hexi smiled and continued: "That is to observe her descendants more, and you can always find any loopholes in a month or two, and hook up with one. Then, find an opportunity, at the old lady's birthday party or on a major occasion in the house, with Go in as an eminent monk who has traveled all over the world, and say the same mysterious words to the old lady, just find the right direction."

Xu He stopped talking, because talking too much is easy to make mistakes.

Only now did the little monk feel that it was feasible, so he nodded thoughtfully.

Xu He smiled, and suddenly changed the subject: "What's your name?"

The little monk answered truthfully: "Wu Jing."

"Tsk, it's so ordinary! It doesn't sound like it at all! I'll get you one—"

Xu He breathed a sigh of relief, and then paused under the expectant eyes of the young monk, changing his face for a second, and said indifferently: "I still have three Buddhist scriptures to copy."

"..."

Great, the benefactor.

The little monk understood that he had been revenged, and he promised Xu He with blood on his face: "I'll take care of all the three books, you continue."

clever.

The bad temper Xu He was played by him that day finally came out, Shu Tan, he said unceremoniously: "Your name is too common, you need to choose a more eye-catching one. If it is extreme, you can call it Yuanji."

"..."

What hatred and what resentment.

Xu He said: "It's best, let others feel a sense of immortality from your name."

Under the moonlight, the little monk propped his chin and cheek, and looked at Xu He eagerly for several degrees.

Xu He originally wanted to play tricks on him, to fool him in a mess, and when it comes to this, it would be too much to talk about.

He happily took out the four scriptures from the room, and solemnly handed them over to the young monk: "Okay, then I will leave it to you."

The little monk was not unhappy at all, and took it. Although his face was blue and red, he was still in a daze, wishing to pay respects to Xu He.The brows are beaming with joy, and the sparse eyebrows and eyes are soaked in the moonlight, like unfolded white gauze and satin.
