Chapter 55 Guanyin Appreciation of Music
Chapter 55 Guanyin Appreciation of Music
The two of them also slowed down, as if something appeared in front of them, forcing Feng Budu to slow down.
"What?" Qin Baiqing looked over curiously.
When she saw the person opposite her, her eyes widened in surprise and a joyful smile instantly appeared on her face.
"Monk!" She smiled as if she had seen something interesting. Her dark eyes curved up, revealing a mouthful of small white teeth. She waved to the other side, "Hello, monk!"
Then he whispered to Feng Budu secretly: "This is the first time I've seen monks, and they really have bald heads!"
It's more than just a bald head.
The monk opposite, wearing a cassock and with a compassionate look, was almost exactly the same as the monk described in the book that Qin Baiqing imagined!
Especially since the person opposite had his eyes lowered, a faint smile on the corner of his lips, and his whole body was solemn and peaceful, which made people subconsciously not be on guard against him.
Qin Baiqing took a look and found that there seemed to be a layer of glow around this person.
She was very curious and touched her head thoughtfully. Feng Budu instantly understood what she was thinking and decisively pressed down her restless hands, saying sternly: "Don't think about it. Women can't be monks!"
Especially since I'm still tied to her. If this little girl becomes a monk on impulse, wouldn't I have to become a monk too?
He immediately became serious and became more alert to the monk who suddenly appeared opposite him. He took Qin Baiqing back a few steps.
Qin Baiqing broke free from his arms, staggered and jumped onto the flying sword, still greeting the other side heartlessly, "Who are you, where are you from, monk?"
The naive little girl smiled at him, and even the coldest person would be touched.
In particular, the monk opposite was always compassionate and kind. He didn't mind Qin Baiqing's carefree attitude at all, and did not look down on her because of her young age.
When he saw Qin Baiqing greeting him, he also returned the greeting solemnly and chanted a Buddhist name.
Then he stepped forward and asked, "How are you, my fellow Taoists? I see you are in a hurry, do you think you have a purpose?"
"..."
After the words were spoken, they both fell silent.
Qin Baiqing looked at the monk suspiciously, then silently retreated back to Feng Budu, lowered his head, kicked his toes, and refused to speak.
She was a little unhappy.
"Senior, you suppressed your cultivation and came to the foundation-building area just to ask about our whereabouts?" Feng Budu looked at the wary Qin Baiqing with relief, and then questioned him in a deep voice.
Nowadays, everyone has reached the foundation-building stage, so no matter whether the person in front of him is at the Golden Core stage or the Nascent Soul stage, there is no need for him to be polite.
"Fellow Daoist, you have good eyesight." The monk was not angry at the cold questioning. He just smiled and gave his name. "I am from Bodhi Temple. My Buddhist name is Zhu Fu. I have indeed suppressed my cultivation. I am at the peak of the Golden Core stage. Please forgive me, fellow Daoist."
"Zhu Fu?" Feng Budu frowned and thought for a moment, then looked him up and down, and his tense body relaxed for a moment.
"Do you know him?" Qin Baiqing keenly noticed the sudden change in him and asked curiously.
Perhaps because he was born as a casual cultivator, Feng Budu has always been particularly wary. This is the first time Qin Baiqing has seen him relax because of a single sentence.
Even if it's just for a moment.
"Zhu Fu is very famous," Feng Budu lowered his head to explain to Qin Baiqing, "Almost the entire cultivation world knows that there is a monk named Zhu Fu in Bodhi Temple who is a goody-goody... Even a casual cultivator like me has heard of him, so you can imagine how famous he is."
"Goody-goody?" Qin Baiqing tilted her head and looked at Zhu Fu with wide eyes.
Zhu Fu was not angry at all after hearing such comments. Qin Baiqing nodded seriously and said with emotion: "He is indeed a goody-goody." This is probably the Jindan cultivator with the best temper in the world. Even Feng Budu can tease him.
Qin Baiqing nodded silently and looked at him curiously again, her eyes rolling around, her cunning eyes revealing something.
Seeing Zhu Fu looking at her, she smiled instantly, looking extremely innocent.
"Haha..." Zhu Fu laughed twice, nodded to Qin Baiqing again, and then said: "I suppressed my cultivation for the sake of Guanyin's music appreciation place in the foundation building area. I came here to comprehend the Zen meaning left by Guanyin. If I offend you, I hope you will not blame me."
"What is Guanyin's Music Appreciation?" Qin Baiqing pulled at the corner of his clothes curiously.
“I’ve never heard of this place.”
He shook his head slowly, frowned and thought for a moment, and was sure that he had no impression, so he became curious.
It doesn't make sense that I have entered the Immortal King Mountains many times, but I have never heard of this place. But now a Jindan peak master actually came here because of its reputation. It is unreasonable and weird.
"It's normal that you don't know." Zhu Fu smiled and explained very tolerantly:
"This place is a place that Buddhist disciples yearn for. Apart from the Zen spirit, there are no other wonders or opportunities here, so it is not widely known and few people know about it..."
He paused, and then invited in a friendly manner, "Would you two Taoist friends like to go together?"
"No." Feng Budu refused decisively, as if he had lost his curiosity in an instant. He took Qin Baiqing and retreated again and again until they were a safe distance away, then he took a detour and left. "It's not on the way. You go by yourself. Sorry, we have to leave."
Then, without waiting for Zhu Fu's response, he decisively took Qin Baiqing away.
He was running very fast. After walking for a distance, Qin Baiqing looked back and found that there was still a small black dot at the same place.
Zhu Fu seemed to feel that Qin Baiqing was looking at him, and even after Qin Baiqing's gaze fell on him, he bowed again to say goodbye. Qin Baiqing could imagine the sound of him chanting the Buddha's name in his mind.
The two of them hurried on their way without saying a word. Not only for some reason, but Feng Budu was extremely anxious. Their figures turned into a flash of light in the air and quickly flew back to the place where they had just met Zhu Fu.
"?" Qin Baiqing looked at Feng Budu who had come back again, and realized belatedly that Feng Budu was just covering up for Zhu Fu.
She asked in confusion: "Don't you believe in Zhu Fu?"
Isn't it said that he is a goody-goody?
The adult world is too complicated. Qin Baiqing felt a little unhappy. This was not something that the five-year-old self should have considered!
“I don’t know either,” Feng Budu said with a serious expression, a little confused, “It is true that there are rumors in the world that he is a goody-goody, but for some reason… I don’t believe him.”
"So that's how it is." Qin Baiqing touched his chin and looked around at Feng Budu, as if thinking about something.
Her gaze made Feng Budu subconsciously feel something was wrong, and his hair stood on end. He was about to ask something, but Qin Baiqing had already exclaimed in admiration.
"Your intuition is pretty good. According to what you said, he is not a good person."
"What do you mean?"
"Didn't you notice?" Qin Baiqing stretched out her hand and poked Feng Budu with her fingertips, looking particularly innocent. "He left his divine consciousness on you."
