Eleven days later, looking at the big word "Hengcheng" on the city gate, Yun Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he lived to be 24 years old in his previous life, he hardly ever went out, let alone interacted with strangers. In this life, because of his age, the trip when he was nine months old was the only time he traveled far. Unfortunately, that Sometimes he was hugged in people's arms all day long, and he was drowsy, so he didn't gain much experience.

Find the biggest car dealership, live in the oldest store, and take the busiest road——Yunqi, who strictly abided by these three rules along the way, finally arrived at the destination safely, without being abducted by kidnappers or caught by wild wolves on the way .

Getting here is easy, the rest is up to luck.

Not far from the city gate, there was a stall selling Chaos. Maybe it was because it was getting late and people were in a hurry to enter the city or go home. There was no customer at the Chaos booth. One is slowly packing up things.

Yun Qi went over, counted eight copper coins and handed them to the proprietress: "It's enough to get me half a bowl, I can't finish it if there is more."

The proprietress smiled, counted four more to him, and said, "Half a bowl of Chaos, four Wen is enough."

The fire in the stove was almost extinguished, and he wanted to re-open his half bowl of Chaos, but he refused to charge him four cents more... Yun Qi felt warm in his heart, he felt that his luck in this life was really good, let's go You can meet kind people everywhere.

Chaos was quickly served in front of him, Yun Qi picked up the chopsticks and scooped up a handful, the inside was crowded, not just half a bowl.

The proprietress sat down in front of him, and said with a smile: "Eat, eat as much as you can, anyway, you can't save it for tomorrow... For a little doll like you, you should eat more, so that you can stretch your stomach." , grow stronger in the future!"

Yun Qi didn't say much, thanked him, and lowered his head to eat.

The proprietress asked: "Why do you go out alone, your child, where is your adult?"

Yun Qi said: "My lord is in the city. I'm waiting for someone here. If he doesn't come when the city gate is closed, I'll go into the city and come back tomorrow."

The proprietress said: "The gate of the city will be closed soon, it seems that the person you are waiting for will not come today. By the way, my husband and I set up a stall here every day, and we come every day when the gate of the city opens." , why don't you tell me the appearance of the person you are waiting for, if I see it, I will ask you for you, so as not to miss it."

Yun Dian nodded and said, "I want to find a great monk."

The proprietress was surprised and said: "Monk? If you want to find a monk, you should go to the temple! There are several temples outside the city, and there are two inside the city, especially Master Ci'an in the Liangxin Temple outside the city. The Dharma is the most profound. , if you can get his enlightenment, it will be a great fortune."

Yun Qi shook his head and said: "I'm not looking for them, the great monk I'm looking for, is dressed in dirty and ragged clothes, is white and fat, is holding a wooden stick, and is holding a big bowl in his hand..."

He stretched out his hand and gestured: "It's a big bowl."

The proprietress laughed and said, "That's not called a bowl, that's called a bowl."

He said again: "How can there be a white and fat monk who wears dirty and ragged clothes and can still eat! Little guy, have you been fooled by others?"

Before she finished speaking, she saw the child who was eating Chaos in front of her raised her head, her eyes stared blankly at the front, she turned her head to look, and couldn't help laughing: "Ah, so there really is such a monk! Today is a long time Got it! Little guy, what are you looking for him for?"

Yun Qi shook his head and didn't speak, he lowered his head and started to eat, only to eat until his belly was round, so he stopped his chopsticks, thanked him, and entered the city leisurely.

The monk wants to beg for alms all the way, walks slowly, and looks eye-catching, as long as you see him, you are not afraid of him running away.

In this world, apart from a limited number of people, few people know that this monk who does not look like a monk is actually the highest monk in the entire Daqian Empire, but among the people, even his Dharma name is rarely known.

In his previous life, Yun Ji met him once when he was six years old. The monk had a fortune telling him in the villa, saying: "I'm very ill-fated, I'm afraid I won't live long."

He also said that if he practiced Buddhism with him, he would have a smooth life.

At that time, the man was furious, grabbed the monk by his collar and threw him out of the villa.But in the early morning of the next day, he came to ask him again if he would like to study Buddhism with that monk. If he wanted to, at worst he would go to accompany the monk and ask him to come back.

He also said that the monk was protecting his shortcomings, and it would be of great benefit to be his disciple. He also told him some interesting stories about the monk and said a lot of good things.

It's just that Yun Ji has no interest in practicing Buddhism, so of course he refuses, and the man doesn't force it, he just confesses that no one is allowed to take him down the mountain privately.As for himself, every time Yun Ji quarrels about going down the mountain, he always diverts the topic and seduces him to play other things, and gradually he forgets about going down the mountain.

It can only be seen from this that this monk's status is aloof, and even that person does not dare to offend easily, and even if he does not believe in the monk's hexagrams, he definitely does not dare to ignore them.

Yun Qi's knowledge is limited, and the people he can contact with his identity are even more limited. This monk is the best person to find and meet among them.

Even if it is easy to find and meet, it is also an unexpected surprise to meet him on the first day in Hengcheng.

The white and chubby monk was holding a rice bowl bigger than his head for alms. The more he looked, the more he looked like a fake monk. Naturally, he attracted a lot of stares, and he couldn't melt a few handfuls of rice for a long time.

The fat monk touched Stirrup's bald head and sighed, and suddenly found that there was a child in front of him.

A little boy no more than five or six years old, with pink make-up and beautiful features, stood in front of him, with his hands behind his back, looking up at him.

The fat monk bent down slightly, narrowed his eyes and carefully looked at the child in front of him.

He has never seen such a contradictory person. He is clearly in rags, but exudes a natural nobility; But it makes people feel that he is cleaner than anyone in the world; he is clearly ignorant of world affairs, but he seems to have the transparency and tenacity after suffering.

Yun Qi raised his head and asked, "Great Monk, are you asking for alms?"

The fat monk responded with a smile: "Yes! The poor monk is asking for alms."

Yun Qi asked again: "But why do you use such a big bowl for alms?"

"Because the poor monk eats a lot."

"Why do you eat so much?"

"Because the poor monk is fat."

"Then why are you fat?"

"Because the poor monk's bowl is so big!"

"Then why do you bowl... well, because you eat a lot."

So Yun Qi stopped asking, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "That's why I hate monks the most, I always like to go around in circles to make people faint."

The fat monk blinked: "What did you say?"

Yun Qi also blinked, looked at him, and said: "Aren't you going to ask for alms? Your bowl is too high, I can't reach it."

The fat monk glanced at him, lowered his hand a bit, Yun Qi said: "It's still too high! Too high! Too high!"

"Too high" several times in a row, finally the fat monk had no choice but to sigh, put the bowl on the ground, and said, "What about now?"

Yun Qi hummed, and said, "It's ready now."

He stepped up with his right foot, then his left foot, and clapped his hands: "Okay, I've turned myself into you!"

The monk stared at him dumbfounded, and Yun Qi said seriously: "If you don't want the fate you made yourself, the Buddha will blame you!"

"You..." The monk took a deep breath, sighed again, and said, "Little benefactor, can you get out of the poor monk's bowl first?"

Yun Qi looked at him with wide eyes: "Master, I have given myself to you, do you think I'm not sincere enough?"

The monk sighed: "The benefactor is naturally sincere, but the monk does not eat meat."

Yun Qi said: "It's okay, monks don't eat meat, I can help you eat!"

"But the monk can't even eat enough for himself..."

Yun Qi said seriously: "The reason why the monk can't eat enough is because the bowl is too big. If the monk takes the children to beg for alms, everyone will think that the monk uses such a big bowl to raise children, so they won't think your bowl is too big. .And, I eat very little."

The monk touched his chin and pondered: "It seems to make sense!"

Yun Dian nodded and said seriously: "It makes sense!"

The big fat monk kept his head down and bent over to talk to this six-year-old boy. He felt a little tired at the moment, so he simply sat down cross-legged on the ground and said, "So, the little benefactor wants to go with the poor monk. Alms?"

Cloud starts.

The fat monk said helplessly: "Little benefactor, does your father know that you are messing around like this?"

Yun Qi asked curiously: "Great Monk, you are proficient in medical divination and astrology, didn't you see that my parents are dead, relatives and friends are all bereaved, and I have no one to rely on?"

Proficient in medicine, divination and astrology, this child... the big fat monk laughed out loud, tears came out of the laughter, and then stopped abruptly, saying: "This, the big monk really didn't see it."

Yun Qi was finally willing to jump out of his bowl, but he didn't give it back to him. Instead, he sat down opposite him, put the big wrist that was rounder than his body on his knees and hugged him, and said: "You take it away." I'm a disciple, so I'll help you alms, okay?"

The monk said: "Don't you eat meat? Monks are not allowed to eat meat."

Yun Qi shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a monk."

The monk was surprised and said: "You want to worship the monk as a teacher, but you don't want to be a monk, so what do you want to learn from the monk?"

Yun Qi said: "Although the great monk's medical skills are superb, they are only superb, not even one of the best. As for the technique of astrology, although the great monk is unparalleled in the world, I have no interest in the general situation of the country. The rest, only There are two words of divination, the great monk is not only proficient in studying Buddhism, but also proficient in medical divination of astrology, I only learn two of them, so it should not be regarded as greedy."

The monk said: "But the monk's medical divination and astrology all come from Buddhism. If you don't study Buddhism, how can you learn astrology?"

Yun Qi shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"Ok?"

Yun Qi said: "Monks can do divination, Taoists can do divination, street fortune-tellers can do divination, and scholars who have learned the Book of Changes can also do divination... Lao Tzu said that the world is not benevolent, and everything is a humble dog. The Buddha said , All beings are equal. Since God is so fair, lifelines and fortunes, which seem mysterious and mysterious, will not only be shown to specific people... It's just that some people can understand them, and some people can't understand them. That's all.

"What I want to learn is just how to understand the message left by God. What has it to do with Buddhism?"

The monk supported his head and said: "The poor monk thinks that you are quite wise, little benefactor, and you are a material for learning Buddhism."

Yun Qi shook his head and said: "I didn't like poetry and poetry before, so naturally I don't like to practice Buddhism now. It's not because they are bad, but for me, a layman, these things that pursue the soul are just like me and myself. Competing by myself is mediocre, too tiring, and too time-consuming. Life is only a few dozen years, and it is not enough to do things that I am really interested in, so how can I have time to study these things?"

"The little benefactor is interested in divination, right?"

Yun Qi said: "I wasn't interested in this before, I felt that these mysterious and mysterious things are unpredictable, specious, and not as interesting as those tangible knowledge. It's just that I have experienced some things. After that, I thought these things were more fun than anything else.”

The monk sighed: "The little benefactor stopped the monk to learn this, just because he thought it was fun?"

Yun Qi blinked and said, "Isn't this reason enough?"

The monk looked at the little guy sitting in front of him, and couldn't help sighing: "Enough, of course it is enough!"

For such a young child, what else can be the reason for asking to learn something on their own initiative besides "fun"?

Yun Qi said: "So do you want to accept me as an apprentice?"

The monk thought for a while, and said: "You just said that the poor monk accepts you as an apprentice, and you help the poor monk for alms... But if the poor monk accepts you as an apprentice, not only will you not be able to ask for alms, but you will be raised by the poor monk. Isn’t the poor monk a big loss? And the poor monk doesn’t look like a real monk at all, if he brings a child who is not a monk, he will be even less like a monk! Now the poor monk can’t get enough to eat, and by that time , can't you even drink your saliva?"

Yun Qi glared at the monk who opened his eyes and told lies, and asked: "Then what do you want to accept me as an apprentice?"

The monk raised a finger and said, "In the time of a cup of tea, if you can give the poor monk a full meal, the poor monk will accept you!"

Yun Qi stood up and said, "How can it take a stick of incense? Wait!"

After walking a few steps with the big bowl thicker than his body, he looked back at the big monk who was already half up, and said, "If you want to sneak away while I'm begging for alms, I'll hold this big monk in your arms." Wan, go to your Kudu Temple and tell your disciples and grandchildren that you are always in disarray!"

The great monk choked, sat down again, and said with a chuckle: "The monk's food is in your hands, where can he go? Go quickly, the monk is still waiting for your filial first meal!"
