Riding the Pheonix Chapter 597: Abbot
If you haven’t read a book, you can’t say it doesn’t exist.
The scholar was stuck for a moment.
Mingwei asked the monk guarding the lamp: "Master, am I right?"
The monk keeping the lamp smiled and saluted her: "The female donor answered it right." Then he stretched out his hand and said, "Please."
Mingwei nodded: "Thank you."
She walked up to the next monk keeping the lamp and drew out the puzzle.
The question is: "Excuse me, what is the deepest sea in the world."
Ming Wei thought for a moment and replied: "Return to the ruins."
The monk guarding the lamp smiled and stretched out his hand: "The female donor answered correctly again, please."
These questions are all-encompassing, including astronomy, geography, and some unintelligible questions. Mingwei answered the questions one by one until the ninth question, when the monk guarding the door stepped aside and asked her to go to the next courtyard.
Yang Shu stood in front of the gatekeeper and asked, "I won't answer the questions, I'll just accompany you, okay?"
The monks of Changsheng Temple have always been clever. Under the nose of Xuanduguan, they have developed into the current scale. How can they not know how to adapt. As soon as the monk saw his clothes, he knew that he was a noble man, so he smiled and replied kindly: "Since you two are traveling together, you are here to seek marriage, so of course you can."
Then stand aside and let him in.
Others did not have this kind of treatment and could only watch with pity as they went to the next yard, guessing what the puzzle below was.
Entering the sixth courtyard, Yang Shu said: "You know so much."
Ming smiled, with some nostalgia in his eyes: "When I was a child, I was forced by my master to read a lot of books. I read all kinds of miscellaneous books. At that time, I didn't know what they meant, and I always wanted to fool them. But my master was very careful. "Stern, if I can't recite it, I'll have to write it down... I didn't expect that the riddles would come in handy today."
"Your master is really evil."
"Yes!" Mingwei murmured.
She suddenly missed her master.
In the blink of an eye, it has been four years since I came to this world, and what happened in my previous life really seems like a lifetime ago.
The last time I was with my master, the three of them were being hunted.
Then she watched helplessly as her junior brother and master died in front of her.
In order to give her a chance to live, Master died together with those people.
Mingwei opened his eyes, and the blood in his eyes gradually dissipated.
"What are you thinking about?"
It took her a while before she answered: "Nothing."
Then go to the next riddle.
The sixth yard, the seventh yard, the eighth...
It gets more and more difficult later on, gradually involving easy numbers, metaphysics...
Mingwei answered casually at the beginning, but later he had to think for a long time before he could answer.
Standing in front of the ninth courtyard, she said: "I have a wonderful feeling."
"What?"
"Tell me, what is the intention of the person who asked the question?"
Yang Shu was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Ming Wei said: "These questions are definitely not something that ordinary people can answer. The only people who can get here are people from Xuanmen."
Yang Shu nodded subconsciously.
There are many well-educated people gathered in the capital. The fifth courtyard has the most people, the sixth courtyard has only a few, and the seventh courtyard is simply them.
He slowly came back to his senses and said: "You are suspicious..."
Ming Wei suddenly smiled and stepped into the ninth courtyard: "I want to see who is plotting against me!"
In the ninth courtyard, there are no monks.
A huge lantern is located in the center of the yard.
Yang Shu looked around and frowned: "Where is the title?"
Mingwei walked to the lantern and looked at it, then carefully observed the surrounding environment.
No clues.
"Why is there no one?" Yang Shu thought, "Is it necessary to find the person first in this level?"
Mingwei looked at the lantern and suddenly said, "Come on, try giving me a slap."
"Huh?"
"Right here." She gestured.
Yang Shu looked at it and was a little worried: "I'm afraid that if I strike out with my palm, the courtyard will be burned down."
"Just burn it." Mingwei said nonchalantly, "It belongs to the Changsheng Temple anyway, not ours."
Yang Shu thought about it and smiled: "That's right."
He raised his arms and raised his breath——
"Donor, please wait!" a voice sounded.
The two looked up and saw an old monk appearing in front of the house. The young novice beside him glared at them.
"Why are you so unreasonable?" said the little novice, "If you don't break through the barrier properly, you threaten the abbot by burning down the courtyard."
Yang Shu smiled and said: "Then you are not threatened!"
"You——" the little novice monk was very angry.
How come they are not threatened? Once it burns down, it will be the house of their Changsheng Temple! It will cost a lot of money to repair again!
Mingwei took a step forward, put his hands together and saluted: "Abbott."
The old monk looked calm and replied: "Female donor, since you can pass the first eight levels, this level should not be difficult for you. Why do you act like this?"
Mingwei replied: "Abbott's lamp array is indeed not difficult to break, but it takes too much time and effort. I think it's not worth it."
The little novice monk was even more angry: "How can you say that? No matter how many people ask for a meeting with our abbot, I can't get it. It's wrong to ask you to break the formation."
"It's not a grievance, it's a waste of time." Mingwei explained good-temperedly, "Time is precious~IndoMTL.com~You kid doesn't understand."
"Hey! You..." The child hated this sentence the most, and the little novice was so angry that he wanted to hit her.
Ming smiled and continued talking to the abbot: "What do you think?"
The old monk's eyes flashed, he lowered his head and clasped his hands together: "Although we have to break the formation at this level, the female donor has already forced Lao Monk out, so we have passed the level."
Ming smiled: "Thank you, Abbot."
"You two, please." He made a gesture.
The old monk turned around and walked back into the house.
The moment Ming Wei and Yang Shu entered the room, the surroundings suddenly became dark.
"Be careful!" Mingwei felt a strong force coming and she was pushed away.
Yang Shu stood in front of her and struck out with his palms one after another. In the blink of an eye, he was exchanging dozens of moves with her opponent.
"Who?" he shouted, "You are not Abbot Faming!"
As far as he knows, Abbot Faming is proficient in Buddhism, but not good at martial arts.
The Changsheng Temple is a Buddhist temple in the eyes of the world, and has little to do with Taoism.
In the darkness, a faint voice sounded: "I thought it would be difficult to trick you into coming in, but I didn't expect it to be so easy."
Yang Shu heard the voice and immediately recognized it: "Are you Wen Xiuyi?"
"Ha!" Wen Xiuyi chuckled, "How about it, today is a pair of mandarin ducks with the same destiny. Isn't His Highness the King of Yue very satisfied?"
Yang Shu sneered: "You ran away earlier, and I didn't know where to look for you. Now it's better to find you yourself."
Wen Xiuyi smiled sweetly: "Has His Royal Highness the King of Yue missed me? In front of the future princess, are you embarrassed to say this?"
Unexpectedly, Yang Shu rolled his eyes and said rudely: "Don't imitate my princess! She said she was really cute, but you said you were pretending to be cute!"...
