Chapter 330 A Nun Friend of Mine

The two changed boats on the way. In a few days, they had already gone downstream and arrived at Xuanwu City. They went to visit Zhang Yuanshan. Yesterday, they also met the chicken-killing sword god Jiang Zhiwei.

It was not an accidental encounter. She had tested the sword all over the world and ranked tenth on the human list. She was looking for masters everywhere to challenge, and she had already arrived at the nearby prefecture.

Hearing that the first Tyrant Sword on the human list and the thirty-third Mang Jin Gang on the human list were killing the Luojiao monster nearby, she thought it was such a coincidence and wanted to see if she could see her teammates, so she deliberately looked for them-

Don't ask why the news spread so quickly. This is the martial arts world, and the achievements of the masters on the young people's list spread quickly.

And there is something to say here. Compared with other martial arts worlds where only pigeons can be used to send messages, this side has long-distance communication means to transmit intelligence and gossip. In fact, it is a fantasy world, and it is very reasonable for the news to spread quickly.

Gu Meng took the initiative to emit a breath when she approached, and the two sides met.

Jiang Zhiwei had sword fights with Xiao Meng and Gu Meng on the river respectively. The duel with Xiao Meng was a teaching game, and the duel with Gu Meng was also a teaching game.

This result is natural. Knowing that the two were going to Zhenwu Sect to find Zhang Yuanshan, Jiang Zhiwei thought that it was not far away and would not delay her travel. So the three of them went to Xuanwu City together.

The gate of Zhenwu Sect is 20 miles north of this city. People in the rivers and lakes all call Xuanwu City the gate of Zhenwu, a place outside the barbarians, and they don’t accept the orders of the court.

It is true that knights violate the law with force and Confucians disrupt the law with literature.

As soon as he got off the boat, Xiao Meng felt the prosperity that was different from the "Three Mountains and Four Waters". There were people coming and going on the dock. Some were wearing wide robes and big sleeves, some were wearing brocade and jade robes, some were wearing tight headscarves, and some were wearing short straw sandals. There were rich and poor, strong and weak, and the voices were noisy and various accents echoed.

Compared with the big cities in the modern world, the prosperity here is certainly not comparable, but it has a unique flavor.

He still hid the three weapons in the big package, holding the Bingque sword in his left hand, dressed like a blue-shirted swordsman, and tightened the straps of his gauze hat with his right hand to prevent his wig from being squeezed off by others, which would be a great shame.

Along the wide stone road, the three walked into the city, which was more prosperous, more lively, and more crowded.

The Zhang family of the Zhenwu Sect was quite powerful, and the residence was well-known, so they walked leisurely.

Xiao Meng looked around, like a country scholar who had just entered a real big city, attracting many covetous eyes, wanting to steal his money, but the thieves returned empty-handed, because when those with bad intentions approached and really wanted to take action, they would be directly deterred by Gu Meng. The greater the malice, the greater the impact, and some fainted on the spot, causing some trouble.

Some people recognized them and thought they were trying to scam.

But that's all. Usually, it's just petty thefts, because this is the sphere of influence of the Zhenwu Sect, a well-known and upright sect. On the surface, the public security is good. There are only a few more vicious thieves, and there are many righteous masters. They know that if they encounter a martial arts master, no evil forces dare to retaliate, and they will only admit defeat.

After this episode, not long after, we saw the Zhang family mansion on the bank of Xuanshui River. The buildings are continuous and cover a very large area, with the atmosphere of a noble family.

Zhang Yuanshan is inside the gate of the Zhenwu Sect, and even the core members of the Zhang family are also in the auxiliary peak of Zhenwu Mountain. If you don't know him, just go to the Zhenwu Sect to find him. But now that we are visiting friends, we still go to the Zhang Mansion to pay a visit.

There are horse posts on both sides of the Zhang Mansion. Most of them are tied with ropes at this time, and horses are snorting there.

"So many guests..." Meng Qi was a little confused. Under normal circumstances, where do so many guests come from?

Gu Meng touched his chin: "It's quite lively. I'm afraid it's a wedding or birthday party."

"Brother Gu, Miss Jiang...Zhen...Little Monk?" Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from the entrance of the alley.

Looking back, I saw an oval-faced girl hiding at the corner of two alleys. She was gentle and sweet, with excitement of meeting an acquaintance in a foreign land on her face, and seemed to have let out a long breath of fear.

"Miss Zhenzhen?" Gu Meng raised his eyebrows and walked over quickly. This girl was one of his friends, Fu Zhenzhen, a disciple of Yinghua Temple in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and a master of medicine and poison.

How did she...understand? She actually traveled thousands of miles to Xuanwu in the south to find her lover!

I can't tell that Fu Zhenzhen looks gentle, but she is such a proactive person...

Tsk tsk tsk, showing off your love will make you die quickly... Pulling a sack doesn't seem auspicious, bah, bah, Gu Meng shook his head.

Meng Qi also wanted to understand Fu Zhenzhen's origins, and said with a smile: "Miss Zhenzhen, are you here to see Senior Brother Zhang?"

"I'm here. I've been here for a few days, but I don't dare to come to your house." Fu Zhenzhen lowered her head and pulled the corner of her clothes, feeling like an ugly daughter-in-law who was afraid of meeting her parents-in-law.

As a girl, Jiang Zhiwei held back her laughter and didn't make any jokes. Fu Zhenzhen was thin-skinned and couldn't stand this kind of teasing:

"It just so happens that we also want to find Senior Brother Zhang for team building. Let's go together. By the way, the little monk has now become a monk who broke the precepts and was expelled from the sect. He will not be a monk in the future. You don't need to call him by his Dharma name. Just call him Meng Qi."

The term team building was learned by Jiang Zhiwei from Gu Meng and the others. I always feel that when the two of them are together, sometimes they say something interesting... Well, it feels like they have something big.

Fu Zhenzhen blushed and hummed softly. She had seen the list of people, and actually knew some recent things about Meng Qi, but she was just not sure.

Because Fu Zhenzhen was too shy and nervous, she didn't speak again until she reached the front door of Zhang's.

Meng Qi walked up the steps with a smile and said to the doorman, "I am Meng Qi, together with Hero Gu Meng, Miss Jiang Zhiwei, and Miss Fu Zhenzhen, we are here to pay our respects to Senior Brother Zhang Yuanshan. You just need to tell Senior Brother Zhang our names and he will come to see us."

At first, because there were a lot of guests at the banquet today, Menzi didn’t react much to the announcement. When he heard the names of these familiar people, he immediately looked at them seriously. They turned out to be the people on the list!

He hurriedly ran to report it. At this moment, another group of Zhang's servants walked out, followed by a large number of heroes, including monks, Taoists and seculars, young men and beggars.

The disciple whispered a few words to Zhang's servants and revealed the identities of Gu Meng and others. When they heard their names, the servants were also startled and quickly saluted respectfully - whether it was true or not, they had to take it as real first - While reporting separately to the person in charge of the Zhang family, they invited four people to join the team and go to Zhenwu Mountain together.

The group passed through the city without riding horses and headed towards Zhenwu Mountain.

"Brother Gu, congratulations on being number one on the list." Fu Zhenzhen was transmitting the secret message.

"As long as you don't accuse me of bullying children."

Fu Zhen is really sorry. In fact, she really thinks so. The main reason is that Gu Meng's strength in the end of the Demon Grave World is too strong. He should not be on the human list, but should be on the earth list or even the heaven list. It's like the strongest king is... Playing silver is too bullying.

"Meng Qi, when I saw your name on the list, I was almost shocked."

Fu Zhenzhen is older than Meng Qi, and their relationship is neither far nor close, so they choose to call each other by their full names.

Meng Qi was happy and sad at the same time as he heard her message enter the secret world. It was naturally a happy thing to be on the celebrity list and to be recognized as a saint in front of others, but the nickname was really unpleasant!

Let's change the subject.

"Girl Zhenzhen, are you taking advantage of your travels to go south directly?" There are experts in Yinghua Temple, but they are not a big sect. The disciples in the sect can travel down the mountain after they are enlightened and stable, so Meng Qi asked this question.

Fu Zhenzhen's cheeks were flushed and he looked at his toes: "I, I thought there was nothing else to do while traveling, so I went south, and I redeemed the first part of the "Saving Sutra" so that I could easily be noticed if I stayed near the sect. ”

It's so affectionate and enviable... Meng Qi sighed and started chatting with her casually, while listening to the conversations of other people in the world around him.

"If the Zhang family gets married to the Song family, I'm afraid the structure of the Zhenwu sect will change drastically."

"They are just protecting themselves. In the past few decades, the Yao family has become stronger and stronger, and the three major secular families are about to become one family..."

The more Meng Qi listened, the more strange he became. He couldn't help but ask the Taoist priest next to him: "Taoist priest, today is the wedding banquet of the Zhang family and the Song family?"

These martial arts people only saw the servants of the Zhang family saluting Gu Meng and others, but did not hear Xiao Meng introduce himself to his family. They thought they were relatives and friends of the Zhang family. Hearing this, they looked at Xiao Meng strangely, as if they wanted to say you If you don’t know this, what are you doing?

He paused and said, "Yes, today is the engagement banquet between Zhang Yuanshan of the Zhang family and Song Mingxi of the Song family."

Jiang Zhiwei and Meng Qi were shocked when they heard this, and subconsciously turned to look at Fu Zhenzhen, only to see her face turn pale and her body shaking slightly, as if she was about to faint.

"Senior Brother Zhang Yuanshan?" Fu Zhenzhen asked with a pale face and frighteningly bright eyes, as if he had heard wrongly, seeking the last glimmer of hope.

The Taoist priest vaguely felt a little strange, but he was a monk and did not think about the emotional entanglement between men and women for the moment:

"Zhang Yuanshan is one of the seven sons of the Zhenwu Sect. Although he is only ranked at the bottom, he is also highly valued. If we want to get married, only he can satisfy the Song family."

He thought that the two of them doubted the necessity of Zhang Yuanshan as a marriage partner.

Meng Qi next to him tried to stop him from answering, but it was too late.

"Okay, very good."

Fu Zhenzhen turned around in despair, left the team, and headed in another direction outside the city.

She used Qing Kung unconsciously, as fast as a thunderbolt, as if she wanted to put this unacceptable fact behind her.

At this time, of course Gu Meng and others could not go up the mountain on their own. They sighed, each used their own skills to catch up.

The rest of the team looked at them in surprise, not understanding what was happening.

When the servant leading the way saw it, he shouted: "Gu Daxia, Jiang Nuxia, Meng Gongzi, where are you going?" But obviously he couldn't catch up.

…

Fu Zhenzhen saw mountains and rivers, running randomly in the wild, not knowing where he was going, but subconsciously trying to escape.

Xiao Meng and Jiang Zhiwei stayed with her and did not go up to persuade her. In this situation, they didn't know what to say, so they had to follow silently to prevent her from having an accident, which was also considered as fulfilling their duties as a small partner.

After running for a long time, Fu Zhenzhen finally ran out of energy, and his speed slowed down, getting slower and slower. In front of him was a quiet hill, on which he could vaguely see the monastery. Gu Meng's eyes could still see the buildings above. temple.

At the bottom of the mountain, Fu Zhenzhen covered his face with his hands and let out a sob.

The Evil Sword God sighed, feeling bored and without a woman in his heart, so he drew his sword to the God of Nature.

Gu Mengdu wanted to say: "Girl, remember this hatred, this pain..."

"I have a sword technique to ward off evil. If I want to practice magical skills, I can wield a sword... Oh, you don't have it."

"Then you practice reverse evil to ward off evil spirits and confuse yin and yang. If you want to practice magical skills, you will have early menopause."

"Then go black. The black transformation is ten times stronger. When you perfect your sword and poison skills, you will achieve reverse training to ward off evil spirits and reverse the five poisons of Yin and Yang. You will become a real red training fairy plus and kill all the unfaithful people in the world. You will be born directly. All things are there to nourish man, and man has nothing to repay heaven, so he kills, kills, kills, kills.” (bushi)

Hahahaha... Hey, why, Gu Meng reflected on why his empathy for men and women who love dogs, love dogs (crossed out), crazy men and resentful women has become less and less. Is it really too forgetful?

I still want to make a joke to ease this sad atmosphere. Will the Buddha deduct my merits?

Hey, the Buddha got stuck in the butt with the sack, and he can't save himself!

Hahaha, yeah, no one deducted my merits, that's fine.

The chicken-killing sword god sighed, "I reject Bodhi in the morning and Daluo in the evening, and I don't feel lonely on the dangerous road. I only love the seven-foot sword in my life, and I will kill me to see that I am not me."

In the original work, Xiao Meng and her had an ambiguous relationship, but because of Gu Meng, there was no scene of the two supporting each other in Yinhuangbao. Xiao Meng's teammates are now pure friendship, and he has a socialist brotherhood beyond ordinary friends with Gu Meng, who is the best friend.

Jiang Zhiwei had the mentality of helping the weak at the beginning. Xiao Meng was obviously the youngest and the weakest in martial arts. Later, they had a certain friendship, but not as good as Gu Meng.

The two sword gods had fencing many times. Every time, Jiang Zhiwei challenged the evil-repelling sword technique after a slight improvement to verify her own progress, and then lost. There were many ties between fencing.

But it is also a special emotion, just like the swordsman and Wuming, although there is a huge gap in martial arts, it is more or less that kind of meaning, not as simple as love between men and women.

Ke Bijun is really just eating a chicken head and coveting Gu Meng's body, but Gu Meng didn't let her succeed.

Xiao Meng thinks Jiang Zhiwei is pretty at most, her swordsmanship is strong and handsome, and she is the ideal of his own white-clothed swordsman. He never thought about confessing his feelings. Later, Xiao Meng met Gu Xiaosang, and the two were just friends.

The two sword gods who only have martial arts in their hearts sighed, and the flower monk and the thunder knife crazy monk also sighed, and decided to go up and persuade them.

Without a lover, at least there are still family and teachers, so don't give up on yourself.

Although he didn't know what to say specifically, he himself now has a bad fate.

Suddenly, a solemn drum sound came into Fu Zhenzhen's ears.

Dang!

After the drum sound, there was a melodious and deep bell sound, as if it rang in everyone's heart, sweeping away troubles and obsessions.

Fu Zhenzhen was shocked, her hands slid down, and she looked blankly in the direction where the bell sound came from. She took a step and walked up the stone steps of the hill, chasing the origin of the bell sound.

The three shook their heads and followed slowly. They all guessed what would happen.

Gu Meng's eyes were a little indifferent, but his heart was not completely free of fluctuations.

Asking what love is in the world, it makes people live and die together, which is sighing.

If I remember correctly, in the original book, Fu Zhenzhen and Zhang Yuanshan died one after another. After Fu Zhenzhen died, Zhang Yuanshan obviously didn't want to live anymore. He ran to die for love, not like a heartless man. Now he wants to get married, which should be forced.

Family children enjoy resources, and marriage is of course involuntarily, which is fair.

Jiang Zhiwei didn't think of these for a while, and thought about going to Zhang Yuanshan to help Fu Zhenzhen to ask for an explanation, even if it would tear his face.

Meng Qi organized his words in his mind, thinking about how to persuade Fu Zhenzhen later.

There are several temples on this hill, which are the tenaciously survived Zen temples near the Taoist sect. The incense is average, and the monks coming and going all seem to be ordinary.

Yes, if they knew martial arts and were a Jianghu sect, it would be a bit ignorant to stay near the Zhenwu sect.

Fu Zhenzhen went up all the way, passed several Buddhist temples, and stopped in front of a nunnery.

She turned her head, tears still hanging on her face, and looked at her teammates with a slightly empty look:

"My master has always asked me to become a monk, become the true descendant of Yinghua Temple, get rid of the temptation of the world, and concentrate on studying martial arts and medicine, but I always want to find a good husband, red sleeves to add fragrance, eyebrows and forehead, and work together to venture into the world, just like my parents, so I insist on being a lay disciple."

"Until today, I know that what my master said is true. How many couples in the world can be as loving as my parents? The vows are empty, the ears are empty, the words are still in my ears, and I have married someone else. The world is full of suffering, all illusions, why can't I become a monk?"

The two sword gods were silent, but their thoughts were not exactly the same.

Jiang Zhiwei had already clenched the sword. She looked at Gu Meng, as if she wanted to find out whether Gu Meng would stop her, but Gu Meng just blended into the nature of heaven and earth, seemingly affectionate and ruthless, and nothing could be seen at all.

Meng Qi opened his mouth. The language he had just organized was useless again. However, he was also slightly relieved. Becoming a monk is better than taking revenge on society.

With Fu Zhenzhen's ability to use poison and medicine, Zhang Yuanshan might have to marry in the underworld.

Haha... Well, Xiao Meng was actually thinking about a joke in hell. He and Gu Mengzhen were birds of a feather, accomplices, and like-minded.

Fu Zhenzhen was just telling the story. She didn't expect anyone to answer at all. She turned and walked into the nunnery to find the abbot.

Gu Meng and Jiang Zhiwei didn't move. Only Meng Qi followed in.

This is a small nunnery with old furnishings. There are only a dozen bhikkhunis, dressed simply, old and young, with a peaceful expression, which makes the Buddhist hall dedicated to the Bodhisattva full of a pure taste.

"Do you want to become a monk?" The abbot did not seem happy or excited because someone converted. Instead, she asked solemnly.

Fu Zhenzhen lowered her head and eyes, kneeling on the mat: "Yes."

"You have tears in your eyes, and a man is following you. You must be hurt by love. If you are impulsive, it is better not to become a monk." The host nun advised Fu Zhenzhen.

Meng Qi's mouth twitched. I am just an enthusiastic friend. This matter has nothing to do with me!

Fu Zhenzhen repeated what she had just said to Meng Qi, and looked at the host nun with misty eyes: "Love is false, please help me, nun."

The nun sighed: "Since you are a Buddhist disciple, I will follow your wishes. I hope you can study Buddhism with peace of mind and truly achieve enlightenment."

Fu Zhenzhen is from Yinghua Temple. She will definitely go back to get the certificate of ordination and name, so there are no complicated steps here, and Fu Zhenzhen soon knelt in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

The nun glanced at Meng Qi, but did not chase him away. She let him watch, holding the razor, and walked in front of Fu Zhenzhen.

"I'll ask you again, do you really want the green lamp and ancient Buddha?" Her expression became solemn.

Fu Zhenzhen looked at the green lamp in front of her and nodded slightly: "Yes."

Meng Qi took a step subconsciously, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything to dissuade her in the end. He watched the nun put the razor on Fu Zhenzhen's head and watched the strands of green hair fall.

He was also a little annoyed why the other two companions didn't persuade her. Of course, he also knew that this idea was a bit unreasonable, because he couldn't persuade her.

Little did he know that what Gu Meng was thinking was that Fu Zhenzhen didn't have his wisdom, and she hadn't achieved enlightenment. She was young and still had feelings for him. What could she do if she cut off her hair in a fit of impulse?

Wait until she calms down and tells the whole story, and then she can return to secular life after becoming a nun. Anyway, she is just getting ordained here, and her relationship is not dependent on this place, so there won't be any trouble, which is much easier than returning to secular life for Xiao Meng.

"All troubles are gone, and the world is far away." The nun in charge recited this sentence to Fu Zhenzhen while shaving her hair.

Fu Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, and as her hair gradually fell off, she relaxed a little, revealing a look of relief.

Listening to the words "all troubles are gone, and the world is far away", Meng Qi seemed to have returned to the time when he first came to this world. Thinking of his master and junior brothers, he suddenly felt melancholy.

Soon, Fu Zhenzhen finished cutting off her hair, went to the back hall to change into a black robe, and put on a monk's hat.

Seeing her dressed like a nun and the dim lights in the Zen hall, Meng Qi was touched and all kinds of emotions surged up:

"Love brings up worries, love brings up fears. If you are free from love, you will have no worries or fears."

His voice was calm, and Buddhist scriptures echoed in the Zen hall.

"Love brings up worries, love brings up fears. If you are free from love, you will have no worries or fears..." Fu Zhenzhen repeated it several times in a low voice, becoming more and more stupid.

"Alas, stupid child..."
