Chapter 25: A Leisurely Transformation of Vimalakirti ยท Five
The smoke was curling and the incense was thick.
Chu Liuxiang had never thought that he would be invited to drink tea after stealing something. The smile on his face was a little embarrassed.
He noticed that although Wuye had been pouring tea for him, he did not drink any of it. He was very confused and asked, "Such a wonderful treasure, why doesn't Master Wuye drink it?"
Xiao Hao put down the teaspoon, sat down, shook his head and said, "This tea cannot be drunk."
Chu Liuxiang's heart skipped a beat, and his smile froze a little. He asked, "Master...what do you mean?"
Xiao Hao looked at him and said slowly, "To brew this Emei White Bud, you should use the water of the wonderful rain from Lingshan Mountain. However, I have searched all over Jiulian Mountain and cannot find a place with light, dry and pure rain. Therefore, the water used for this tea is too inferior. If a monk drinks it, it may be contaminated with evil spirits."
Chu Liuxiang was even more confused. This Wuye was so strange. He treated guests to tea but did not say that he could not drink it. What's the reason? He asked patiently, "Jiulian Mountain is the gate of Southern Shaolin Temple. How can we not find Qingling Rain in such a Buddhist temple?"
Xiao Hao looked helpless, chanting the Buddha's name, saying, "Amitabha, you don't know that the evil spirit in Shaolin Temple is too strong now. I can't offer you the best tea for a while."
As he said that, he actually poured out the whole pot of Emei Baiya tea.
"..." Chu Liuxiang, who hadn't tasted enough, felt it was a pity. This tea was one of the best he had ever seen in his life. Even if it wasn't brewed by Lingshan Miaoyu, it was absolutely precious. What a luxurious monk... It's a waste of heaven to pour it all out like this.
Xiao Hao stared at him and said, "It seems that the evil spirit is also on you."
Chu Liuxiang's heart moved slightly.
He had heard that Wuye was the youngest Zen master in Southern Shaolin. He was not only proficient in Buddhism, but also seemed to be blessed by the real Buddha. Many people had seen him unconsciously emitting Buddha's light. But Chu Liuxiang didn't really believe in ghosts and gods. When he heard Wuhua mention Wuye's burning wood, he just thought it might be made of rare materials similar to night pearls. He was curious and wanted to find out. He didn't really believe that there was a treasure in the world that could emit Buddha's light. However,
when he came here, he was already very surprised to see the burning wood. Although the golden light that the long black stick kept emitting was definitely not Buddha's light, it didn't look like something from the human world.
This Zen master Wuye could see the evil spirit. Was he just pretending to be mysterious or was it true?
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose and said with a smile: "Master, you are joking. How can there be an evil spirit on Chu?"
Xiao Hao showed an unfathomable smile and bowed his head and said: "The evil spirit is not from the donor, but the donor has been close to it recently, so it has contaminated me. As long as you walk alone, keep yourself clean, cultivate your body and mind, it will be resolved in a few days."
Chu Liuxiang's brows wrinkled involuntarily.
Wuye seemed to have something else to say. He didn't make many friends recently, and the only one he could say he had a close relationship with was Wuhua. According to what this Zen master Wuye said, the evil spirit in Shaolin came from Wuhua?
But why would a handsome man like Wuhua have an evil spirit? What was Wuye's intention in wanting me to have less contact with him?
Could it be that when Master Tianhu appointed the future head of Shaolin, he designated Wuye as the successor, which caused the discord between the two brothers?
But Wuye was the beneficiary. If there was a discord, it should be Wuhua who was dissatisfied. Could there be some misunderstanding between the two?
Chu Liuxiang wanted to ask clearly, so he simply said, "Master Wuye, are you referring to Wuhua?"
Wuye did not respond to him, but suddenly changed the subject and said, "This burning wood has been with me for a long time. In the past, the prince of Tianzhu cut off the life of the Fire Cloud Tree in the world and made this stick. He was punished by heaven, and the fierce energy of this stick is very strong. In order to prevent it from harming people, I carry it with me every day in the hope of dissolving the fierce energy in it and calming the anger of heaven's punishment."
Alas, monks always say half of what they say, which is too torturous. Chu Liuxiang couldn't complain to his face, so he just said, "I haven't heard of this..." He paused.
Wait, when Wuhua told him about the burning wood, he didn't say it was a weapon. He accidentally heard Wuhua mention that his senior brother Wuye had a Zen stick surrounded by Buddha's light, so he wanted to take a look. If this is a weapon, what will be the consequences if he steals it back?
He was half-believing and half-doubting Wuye, but he didn't dare to believe Wuhua completely.
One of these two people must be lying. If Wuye and Wuhua are not on good terms, why did Wuye tell him all this when he is an insignificant little person?
But if what Wuye said is true, did Wuhua deliberately lead him to steal the burning wood? What is Wuhua's purpose?
Chu Liuxiang really didn't want to doubt his friend, especially a friend who was so stunning. Even if he was asked to doubt everyone in the world, he didn't want to doubt that Wuhua might do something bad, but Wuye didn't look like a person who would lie.
Xiao Hao saw that Chu Liuxiang had taken the bait, and he felt relieved. He pointed to the bright moon outside the window and said, "Look, what is that?"
Chu Liuxiang had not yet come out of his thoughts. When he was suddenly asked, he was stunned and said casually, "Just a bright moon."
Xiao Hao shook his head again.
Chu Liuxiang felt that he was at a loss in front of this Zen master Wuye, just like a student in the academy who was tested by the teacher.
Xiao Hao looked far away, as if his dark pupils contained all the phenomena in the world. He said, "The round and brilliant light is not polished, it is the worldly mind."
He turned his head and stared at Chu Liuxiang with burning eyes: "You are a person with great opportunities and great luck, but now the time has not come for everything. I hope you will listen to me."
Chu Liuxiang said seriously, "Master, please speak."
"The universe is vast, and humans are like dust and mustard seeds, so small. Wuye once made a great wish to save the world from suffering, but Wuye is just an idle person. Buddha can save all living beings, but Wuye finds it difficult to save just one person. Now I have implicated the donor for no reason, which is not what I want. If the donor trusts Wuye, then take this burning wood and travel far away from the universe, and don't enter Shaolin again."
Chu Liuxiang was puzzled: "Didn't the Zen master say that this burning wood has a very fierce aura?"
Xiao Hao smiled and said, "It has been with me for a long time and is much more obedient than before. The donor is kind-hearted and will not use it to do bad things."
Chu Liuxiang pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What is that in the eyes of Zen Master Wuye?" He pointed to the bright moon.
Xiao Hao raised his head, pointed at the bright moon, then pointed at his chest and said, "This heart is my heart."
Chu Liuxiang smiled, stood up, and said to Wuye, "I understand. As for the burning wood, I feel that my practice is not enough to dissolve the violent energy, but you are a Zen master with profound Buddhist teachings, and you will definitely be able to suppress it. Since I am here, I really don't want to return empty-handed. I am not talented enough..."
"?" Xiao Hao did not understand what he was talking about for a moment.
Chu Liuxiang suppressed his laughter and said, "Master, I'm sorry."
*
Wuhua never thought that Chu Liuxiang would do such a thing.
He originally wanted to lure Chu Liuxiang to steal the firewood, let Chu Liuxiang and his senior brother fight, and then secretly instigate the situation and let Wuye accidentally beat Chu Liuxiang to death.
But after all his calculations, he did not expect that Chu Liuxiang would actually steal his senior brother and the firewood.
That's right, Chu Liuxiang stole the next generation of Shaolin's leader!
This matter spread throughout the martial arts world overnight, and Chu Liuxiang's reputation soared. Master Tianfeng was furious. Shaolin was targeted by a group of thieves, and their important heir was stolen. It was really embarrassing for them!
Several high monks in the town made a plan overnight and ordered Wuhua and Wuxiang to go down the mountain immediately to find Chu Liuxiang and retrieve the stolen Shaolin... the next head.
Wuhua only knew that Chu Liuxiang was a thief, but he never knew that he actually stole people...
Fortunately, several uncles and uncles did not know that it was Chu Liuxiang's idea to steal the firewood, otherwise he would have been tricked by his brother.
Anyway, after leaving the Shaolin territory, he could act less restrained. Since Wuye took the initiative to leave the protection of Shaolin, whether he was killed by Chu Liuxiang for stealing the treasure or chopped by a robber, it had nothing to do with him.
When they reached the mountain gate, Wuhua said to Wuxiang, "Brother, I heard that Chu Liuxiang's whereabouts are erratic, but he has a big ship on the sea, which he regards as his residence. Brother, maybe you can go there to look for him."
Wuxiang was puzzled: "From what you said, is your brother going somewhere else?"
Wuhua smiled and said, "The disciples of the Beggar Gang have eyes and ears all over the world. I want to go to the Beggar Gang to ask for information. Maybe they can have some clues. You and I acting separately may help to find Brother Wuye as soon as possible."
Wuxiang thought it made sense, so he said goodbye to Wuhua and the two of them acted separately.
At this time, Xiao Hao on the other side was smiling stiffly, looking at the two people in front of him who were looking at him.
Hu Tiehua stared at Xiao Hao from head to toe with a pair of cat-like eyes, but couldn't see anything. She asked Chu Liuxiang curiously: "Old bug, what's wrong with your vision? A bald monk, no matter how good-looking he is, can't produce anything with you, right? Besides, she is not a nun..."
Chu Liuxiang couldn't help laughing and shook his head repeatedly, explaining: "What are you thinking about! How could I have such thoughts about Master Wuye? It's just that I don't think I can control his burning wood, so I invited the master here together, and I have to return him to Shaolin after a while."
Ji Bingyan was puzzled and said coldly: "You stole the person out and returned him because you were afraid that Shaolin didn't hate you enough. "
Chu Liuxiang touched his nose with a wry smile, "I'm just curious about the secret between Master Wuye and Wuhua, so I brought the master here on a whim, but I didn't expect to piss off a group of Shaolin monks."
Xiao Hao looked at him with a smile and continued, "If I remember correctly, I seem to be one of the monks in Shaolin."
Hu Tiehua laughed and said to Xiao Hao, "I thought the monks in Shaolin were all dull and rigid bald donkeys, but you are quite interesting."
Xiao Hao sighed helplessly, "I can't help myself."
He originally wanted to persuade Chu Liuxiang not to get too close to Wuhua and let him clean up his own mess, but he didn't expect that the young thief would play by unconventional means.
This is good, he also has to thank Chu Liuxiang, he stayed in the temple for so many years and was unknown, this man made him famous overnight, he is indeed a famous figure in the future.
"I don't know how you plan to send me back? Thanks to you, my senior brother and junior brother have already come down the mountain gate."
Chu Liuxiang smiled and said, "I have a friend, although he is not very old, he is in a place where news is very well-informed. I think he will know the whereabouts of the two of them without any effort."
