Fish only seek revenge, not leap over the Dragon Gate

Chapter 124 The Dramatic Old Monk of Dacheng Temple

Dacheng Temple is very small, with only one main hall, where an unknown Buddha is enshrined and there are very few incense burners.

Daisei-ji Temple is just outside of Kyoto, not far from Ryoshan-ji Temple. As for why the two temples are so close to each other.

That’s because the abbot of Dacheng Temple came from Lingshan Temple.

Why they built a small temple not far from Lingshan Temple after they came out is unknown.

The original Lingshan Temple was just a small temple, and it reached its current size because of the expansion ordered by the founding emperor of the Hua family.

Less than three kilometers away from Dacheng Temple, there is a Zhengyuan Academy. This academy is not very famous, but the standards for admission are extremely strict.

Lu Qingfeng is a student of this academy.

Students admitted to the academy were not judged by their academic knowledge, family background or gender, only by their expertise.

Those who are good at farming can enter, those who are good at business can enter, and those who are good at craftsmanship can enter. In short, no matter what you are good at, as long as you have the skills, you can enter.

Of course, being good at this does not mean just knowing it, but only those with very high talent can be admitted.

Because of some of the requirements for admission to the academy, only a few people were able to enter.

Also, because people of all social status are accepted, the children of the powerful and wealthy will not go even if they have talents or special abilities, because they are unwilling to associate with farmers, businessmen, and industrialists.

Therefore, the only child of a powerful family in the academy is Lu Qingfeng, and his specialty is that he has a pair of yin-yang eyes that can see ghosts.

Lu Qingfeng had fought hard to enter the academy. Although Lu Xian did not discriminate against farmers, businessmen, and industrialists, he believed that school years were the best time to make friends.

He didn't want his only son to be without any help in the future.

Liu Yuzhu was also opposed to the same.

Finally, Lu Qingfeng found his grandfather Lu Jingmo, and it was he who came forward to persuade Lu Xian.

Liu Yuzhu made a big fuss about this, saying that Lu Jingmo had evil intentions and was deliberately trying to destroy her son.

But it was no use making a fuss because Lu Qingfeng insisted on going to that academy.

Lu Qingfeng was only six years old at that time, but he already had his own opinions. Both Lu Xian and Lu Jingmo asked him why he wanted to go to that academy.

Lu Qingfeng didn't give any reason, he just said he had to go.

In their eyes, this matter is still a big mystery, and no one knows that he can see ghosts.

After hearing what Lu Qingfeng said, Lu Yu sent a message back to the Duke's Mansion saying that he had gone to Dacheng Temple.

It was already the afternoon when they arrived at Dacheng Temple. Lu Yu and Lu He climbed up ninety-nine steps and saw a lonely temple.

There are also some thatched houses on one side of the temple.

Judging from the utensils displayed outside the thatched hut, it can be seen that it is a kitchen.

There is also a thatched house which is a woodshed.

An eight or nine-year-old novice monk trotted out and stopped in front of Lu Yu. After wiping his sweat off his face, he put his hands together and said to Lu Yu, "Donor Lu, please follow me."

Lu Yu said nothing and followed the little monk through the hall to the back.

Behind it is a vegetable field where various fruits and vegetables are planted. An old monk with a beard that reaches his chest is catching insects.

"Master, Donor Lu has brought it."

The old monk smiled and said, "Well done, Xiaoshuan. Go help your brother wash the vegetables."

"Yes, Master!" The little monk's voice was clear yet soft. After responding, he immediately trotted away.

Lu Yu waved his hand at Lu He and said, "Go somewhere else."

Lu He bowed respectfully and left.

The old monk smiled at Lu Yu kindly, "Mr. Lu, can you help me catch these vegetable worms?"

Lu Yu saw a bamboo basket with vegetable leaves as the bottom, which contained more than a dozen large green worms.

"Old monk, are you catching these insects to eat?"

The old monk's mouth twitched uncontrollably, "I am a monk, I don't eat meat."

"Are they for releasing them into the wild?" Lu Yu asked again.

"Of course." The old monk squatted down and quickly caught one and threw it into the basket.

"Insects are also lives, so they should not be killed indiscriminately."

The land fish rolled its eyes. The leaves of the vegetables were all eaten, leaving only the white stems. Killing such pests is a good way to get rid of them.

This old monk is either mentally ill, too saintly, or just pretending.

"Master Lu, I know why you are here. If you help me catch all the bugs, I will let you meet the person you want to meet."

Lu Yu pursed his lips and said nothing. After a moment, he decisively took out the pesticide and sprayed it on the vegetable field.

The old monk froze in place, then revealed a sad expression, held a caterpillar that had fallen to the ground in his hand, and chanted, "Amitabha."

Then he followed Lu Yu and picked up the big green caterpillars that were knocked down by the pesticide. Every time he picked up one, he would say: "Amitabha."

That expression was as if his parents had died.

Lu Yu was very fast. After using up two bottles of insecticide, he sprayed the vegetable field all over. Then he turned around and saw what the old monk had done.

She was immediately very angry. She was a merciless insect killer, and the old monk was a Bodhisattva who had compassion on all living beings.

With evil intentions in mind, he took out a bottle of insecticide, ran straight to the bamboo basket containing the insects, and started spraying it.

The dozen or so fresh creatures began to twist wildly in an instant, and then became motionless.

She looked at the old monk with a wicked smile on her face, and she thought she would see the old monk crying in sadness.

result……

The old monk smiled and chanted, "Amitabha, Chong Chong's family is finally reunited. Donor Lu is very kind."

The smile on Lu Yu's face disappeared. She was being used. This monk does not kill animals. If he caught the insects and released them, they might harm other plants or the vegetable fields of some residents living down the mountain.

So, use her to kill.

The thing is, if you want her to come and kill you should just say so, why put on such a show?

The most infuriating thing is that she actually cooperated like this.

Seeing Lu Yu's face darken, the old monk stroked his beard and waved to her, "Come, I'll take you to see someone."

Lu Yu guessed that the person he was going to meet should be the native Lu Jiabao, so he put on a stern face and followed the old monk with curiosity and expectation.

After turning a bend in the mountain, the old monk brought Lu Yu to a bamboo forest where there was a bamboo house.

"Go in! The person you want to see is in there." The old monk stopped outside the bamboo forest and said to Lu Yu.

Lu Yu didn't move, just watched. She was afraid that the old monk would cheat her. After all, Wuwang was a monk and he knew how to set up formations. Who knew if there was anything here?

The old monk knew what she was thinking, and said in an aggrieved tone, "Donor Lu actually doesn't believe me. I'm so sad."

Lu Yu replied calmly, "Don't you know that your Buddhist reputation has long been lost in my eyes?"

The old monk choked and said weakly, "Not all monks do bad things."

"Then you lead the way in."

"I want to go in, too!" the old monk said sadly, "but the person inside doesn't like me."

The old monk felt really aggrieved. Ever since that villain found out about his relationship with Wuwang, he had ignored him ever since.

He clearly raised her as his own daughter, but now she suddenly doesn't even recognize her as her father.

Lu Yu gloated over his misfortune, "Old monk, you have cheated people too many times, so you are disliked by others."
