Chapter 39 The Master of Dry Stone and Lin Qing

The little monk said: "Master, we are going to the lecture hall."

Laughing Buddha said: "Why do you go to the lecture hall?"

"Master, you have been in seclusion all day long, and you still don't know what happened in the temple." The young monk told the whole story: "The monks from Chanjue Temple paid homage to the mountain in the morning, saying that Buddha's Hand Peak is not famous, and they utter nonsense. After lunch, Uncle Shou Nan invited the monks of Lingjue Temple to debate, and we have had two debates, one win and one loss, now the third time is very important, I have to go first."

After finishing speaking, he ran to the lecture hall in a hurry.

"It turns out that group of monks from Chanjue Temple." Laughing Buddha is not very interested in debates, in his opinion, big fists are justified, otherwise he would not have gone to join the Nine Lotus Society.

"Chanjue Temple?" Lian Chengyu asked.

"The name is smaller than our Lingfa Temple, but it is also a hundred-year-old temple, but these years, we have gotten closer to the Yiqing court and have been conferred by the Yiqing court." Thinking of this, the Laughing Buddha snorted coldly: "Okay, I'm too lazy to deal with these verbal fights, let's go see Abbot Kushi as soon as possible."

"Master Shou Se is right, let's go see Master Kushi." Lian Chengyu said sullenly.

Looking at Lian Chengyu's face, Laughing Buddha coldly snorted and said: "Lue is the color of form, keep all forms, see that all dharmas are empty, what do you know?!"

"Good Master Shou Se, I know Master Shou Se." Lian Chengyu said seriously.

"Amitabha!" Laughing Buddha panted heavily, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.

"Master of color guard, slow down."

Lian Chengyu followed with big strides while laughing.

The two of them passed through a large hall, one courtyard after another, and finally came to a small courtyard.

Laughing Buddha's expression became more and more solemn, and he asked Lian Chengyu to wait for a while before walking into the small courtyard by himself.

Lian Chengyu stood under the eaves with her hands behind her back, the faint sound of Sanskrit singing could be heard in the wind, her mind inexplicably became peaceful, and she unconsciously wandered away.

After a while, Lord Laughing Buddha came out and said, "Go in, the abbot has been waiting inside for a long time."

"Okay!" Lian Chengyu nodded, opened the door and entered the courtyard.

The courtyard is deep, the wind blows the bamboo leaves, and a figure can be vaguely seen sitting on a stone bench.

Looking carefully, this man is a skinny monk with white beard and eyebrows, but his eyes are piercing and he is full of air.

In front of him was a small purple clay stove, a teapot and two teacups, and the faint fragrance of tea was lingering.

Lian Chengyu took two steps forward, and said with a long bow: "My junior Lin Fu, I have seen Senior Qingdeng."

Master Kushi beckoned to Lian Chengyu with a gentle smile: "Come and sit down."

After Lian Chengyu sat down, he heated the cup and poured tea like flowing water, and pushed one of the teas in front of Lian Chengyu, then smiled again: "Why do you call the old monk a green lantern? Not a dry stone?"

Lian Chengyu took a sip of tea, and the aftertaste filled his mouth after the bitterness: "Although Master Kuishi is Taishan Beidou, the one who invited the younger generation was Senior Qingdeng, and the reason why the younger generation came here is also for Senior Qingdeng."

"Haha, in the Buddhist gate, although the word 'green lantern' can be heard from time to time, it has been at least 23 years since the old monk was called 'green lantern' last time." Master Kushi's tone was not as good as The usual old-timer's calm and steady voice, his voice was very loud and full of air: "Do you have the Lin family's sword manual?"

Lian Chengyu said: "Of course it is."

"Bring it and let the old monk take a look."

The importance and preciousness of "Lin Family Knife Genealogy" need not be repeated at all.But the old monk just begged for it like this, just like begging for a miscellaneous book.

Lian Chengyu didn't even refuse, and simply took out the Lin Family Sword Manual from his pocket, and handed it to Master Kushi respectfully.

Master Kushi casually flipped through until the last page, pointed to a note on it, and said with a smile: "The note here is exactly what I wrote on it. Lin Qing is a lazy person. He discussed the Lin family's sword technique with me all night, and finally called Go to sleep, let the old monk write down the commentary." Beside the commentary here, it ends with the word "Qingdeng".

Lian Chengyu smiled and said, "In the knife manual, your old man has annotated at least 32 places."

The Master Kushi laughed and said, "There are 34 places."

Lian Chengyu thought for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Senior Qingdeng, are you also from my Lin family?"

"No?" Master Kushi shook his head and smiled.

"Then this sword manual..."

Lian Chengyu couldn't help but wonder.

Ever since he knew that the "green lantern" on the sword manual was Master Kushi, he once thought that the other party was an ancestor of the Lin family.

Originally, Lian Chengyu planned to have a relationship with the other party, solicit relatives, and see if he could secretly teach him some Buddhist martial arts.

"It seems that you don't know the relationship between me and Lin Qing, so let the old monk come slowly." The old monk smiled, his demeanor changed slightly, he was lazy and unrestrained, like a prodigal son, with a hint of indifference in his eyes The color of nostalgia: "When the old man was your age, the master allowed the old monk to travel down the mountain. At that time, the barbarians had not yet entered the pass, and the rivers and lakes were much more lively."

"The old monk met Lin Qing in an accidental rescue. The old monk thought he was also a gangster, and he fought with him. It turned out that he was also here to save people. We didn't know each other, and we were like-minded, so we went through the rivers and lakes together. The surname Lin said that if you want to improve martial arts quickly, your companions must communicate and refer to each other. The so-called one person counts the shortcomings, and the two count the strengths. So the two of us broke the differences of sects and exchanged martial arts with each other."

"Of course, we only use each other's martial arts for reference and compare them with each other. They must not be leaked, practiced without authorization, and cannot be passed on to others. The annotations on the 'Lin Family Sword Manual' were written by the old man at that time. Now Think about it, but he was fooled by Lin Qing, he only had a copy of the 'Lin Family Knife Manual' and a few stolen books, but the old man took out my collection from Bergamot Peak."

Master Kushi seemed to be complaining, but there was always a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, with a sigh, the deep and muddy eyes dimmed slightly.

"Later, the old monk's tour was over, he returned to Buddha's Hand Peak, and closed himself for a period of time. When he left the closed door again, the duel between Lin Qing and Sword Master was over, but he also died young..."

"So that's it." Lian Chengyu nodded: "If this junior guessed correctly, the reason why the Lin family can survive for many years after Senior Dao Zun ascended to immortality is because senior took care of him in secret."

Master Kushi was immersed in a touch of sadness, nodded silently, and didn't care about Lian Chengyu calling Lin Qing "Senior Dao Zun": "It's just that Patriarch Huoyun has coveted the 'Lin Family Saber Book' for many years. , taking advantage of the time when the old monk went south to debate the law, he found the Lin family, and since then the Lin family scattered, and the old monk could not find any trace of the Lin family. In this matter, the old monk is sorry for Lin Qing and the Lin family."

Lian Chengyu stood up and bowed to Master Kushi: "Senior has protected my Lin family for many years, and I am very grateful, why should I say sorry."

Master Kushi shook his head: "Lin Fu, do you know why the old monk asked you to go to Buddha's Hand Peak this time?"

Lian Chengyu said: "This junior doesn't know."

"First, I came here to meet the descendants of the Lin family. Your current achievements are not inferior to Lin Qing in the past. I think Lin Qing should also smile at Jiuquan." The dry stone said: "Second, it is for you The last trick of the 'Lin Family Knife Book'!"

"The last resort?"
