Chapter 97

After going down Shaoshi Mountain, Liu Yu and Han Yan had a big meal in the inn at the foot of the mountain. In the past three months, except for going down the mountain around the Spring Festival, the two have always lived in Shaolin Temple. Naturally, they all eat vegetarian food in the temple, which can really be considered as if they don’t know the taste of meat in March.

After satisfying their cravings, the two found a clothing appraisal shop in a nearby town and made several sets of clothes. After three months, they both grew a lot, and their previous clothes were a little dissatisfied. As for the old clothes they changed, they looked at the pitiful two little beggars on the roadside, and gave them to them casually.

After doing all this, the two of them rushed south to Jinling.

As early as many days ago, the two learned from the letters sent by Wang Hui that the venue for this year's Wuzhe Conference was Qixia Temple in the west of Jinling City. Although it was still some days before the conference officially began, they felt that the people of Mianlong Island or Luo Miao might arrive in advance, and even Zen Master Bukong might arrive early, so the two decided not to enter Jinling City, but went directly to Qixia Temple to wait.

After walking south for more than ten days, the two of them arrived at the ferry in Jiangbei. When they were still far away from the ferry, they saw a group of monks wearing yellow monks robes discussing with the boatmen by the river. Each of them carried a huge bag and looked dusty. They looked like they were coming from afar.

Han Yan pulled Liu Yu and stopped: "These monks should all rushed to Qixia Temple. Let's wait until they leave before leaving, and it's quieter."

Six birds nodded and were about to agree, but suddenly heard a Buddha's name coming from the riverside: "Amitabha, the boatman, we monks don't have more silver. Can we reduce some silver for us?"

"Monk, the money I want with you is the lowest! Look at how many of you people, how many cents can you cost per person on average?" The ship owner's sharp voice immediately sounded. The monks all looked embarrassed, but the 6 feathers in the distance were already stunned and turned into a piece of wood.

"Hey! Hey!" Han Yan shouted him twice, and Liu Yu's body suddenly shook and came to his senses.

"What's wrong? Do you know them?" Han Yan asked, glanced at the people by the river.

"How can you not recognize me?" Liu Yu's voice trembled a little: "They are my senior brothers!"

It has been four years since I left Longgai Temple. 6 Yu had imagined the scene of reuniting with his senior brothers countless times, but unexpectedly, this day came unexpectedly. Looking at the familiar and strange figures in the distance, 6 Yu didn't know what to do for a moment.

After hearing what Liu Yu said, Han Yan became interested in these monks and began to look at them curiously. As she looked at them, she remembered what Liu Yu said to her during a chat, so she asked curiously: "Hey? Didn't you say that your master has never attended the Unblocked Conference? How could they come this year?"

At this time, Liu Yu's mood calmed down a little. After hearing Han Yan's words, a trace of confusion appeared on his face: "Yes! Master, Master always said that the unblocked meeting is a sensational thing, and it is of no benefit to practice, so he never participated. Master... What about Master? Why isn't he here?"

Six birds looked at the group of monks several times, but never found Zhiji's figure.

"Maybe we left first, maybe we haven't arrived yet. Why are you worried about that?" Han Yan said angrily. As she said, she pushed 6 Yu: "Since they are your senior brothers, why don't you hurry up and recognize each other?"

As soon as he heard this, Liu Yu subconsciously walked forward, but he stopped after only one step. Then he turned his head and looked at Han Yan, showing a sly smile: "Don't leave soon, don't talk. I'll see if they can, can recognize me?"

Han Yan also laughed "sigh": "Okay!" After that, the two walked forward and came to the boat house and the monks.

At this time, the monks and the boatman were still entangled with money. The monk who had previously bargained was Huiren, the senior brother who often played with Liu Yu when he was a child. Liu Yu recognized them through his voice before.

The senior brothers are all older than 6 Yu. The youngest one is nineteen years old. They look like an adult. After not seeing each other for many years, their appearance has changed a lot. After 6 Yu looked at them for a long time, they found some shadows of the past on everyone's face.

Seeing that the two sides were still arguing over the price of crossing the river, 6 Yu coughed and said, "Boatman, masters, I see you have been fighting for a long time, otherwise I will make up for the money I have lost. Let's cross the river quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, the boatman turned his head in surprise. At this time, Liu Yu was wearing a brand new silk gown. When the boatman saw it, he felt that he was either rich or noble, and immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, are you willing to make up for the difference?"

6 Yu nodded: "Yes, I just want to cross the river faster and say, how much is the difference?"

"Not too much, no more, two hangs of copper coins. I and these monks want six hangs, but they are only willing to give four hangs. Look at how many of them, the six hangs are already very cheap, do you think?" The boatman smiled all over his face.

6 Yu nodded: "It's not much, but you have to be a monk and have a hard life. You should also be more considerate."

"At the right time, you are right!" The boatman nodded repeatedly, but immediately changed his subject: "That young master, look at the money..."

Liu Yu reached into his arms, took out a piece of silver worth one or two, and handed it straight over: "I'll give you all these, so don't ask the Zen masters for money."

When he left the Wang family last time, Wu Lingjiao forced 6 pills to give a lot of silver notes. And 6 pills have never had the bad habit of squandering, so there is still a lot of silver left, so taking out one or two is naturally nothing.

But when the boatman saw the silver, he was overjoyed. As soon as Liu Yu reached out his hand, he took it happily, weighed it and bit it with his teeth, and then hurriedly stuffed it into his arms.

"Young master, Miss, please board the boat! Zen masters, come up quickly!" The boatman opened his body and pointed his hand at the small boat parked by the river.

It was a small boat about two meters long and six feet wide. The paint on the boat was a bit old, but it was cleaned up. There were twelve monks in Longgai Temple, plus 6 Yu and Han Yan, and there were fourteen people. Fortunately, there was no miscellaneous items in the boat, and everyone sat on the ground, which was not crowded.

As soon as the boatman got on the boat, he took a bench on the bow and handed it to 6 Yu: "Young master, Miss, please sit down, please! The board of the boat is too rough! Don't break your clothes."

When 6 Yu was still thinking about giving the stool to his seniors, Han Yan smiled and took it, then put it down, pulled 6 Yu and sat down.

Six Yu thought again: In Longgai Temple, several senior brothers who regarded Huiren as bullied him a lot, and now they are angry. So they gave up their plans to give up their seats.

Han Yan pulled him down and sat down, leaned into his ear and asked whispered: "Hey, what should I call you?"

Liu Yu naturally understood what she meant and said softly: "It's still like that. Just call me like that." Then, his mouth stopped moving, but said in a voice transmission way: "Just don't just call me 'Ji, Ji Ni', my senior brothers, don't know the name '6 Yu'." During the time in Shaolin, this voice transmission method had been mastered by Liu Yu. At this time, in order to prevent the identity from being misleading, he used it lightly.

From the first moment he came to the senior brothers, 6 Yu was paying attention to their reactions. The result made 6 Yu very happy: when he first appeared, only three of the twelve people had a strange look in their eyes, and the eyes of the others who looked at him did not change at all. And the strangeness in the eyes of the three people quickly disappeared.

But Liu Yu felt a little angry, especially with Huiren's anger. He thought to himself: When I heard you speak, I recognized you. Why didn't you even react at all when you saw me?

As he was thinking about it, the ship had already started. At first, it was a little shaking, but it quickly stabilized. At this time, Huiren, who was sitting in the cabin, walked up and came to the 6 Yu. "Amitabha, donor, my monk Huiren, don't know what the donor is called?"

6 Yu suppressed his smile: "After 6 Yu, you must not be so polite."

"It turns out to be the donor of 6." Huiren clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "I just thanked the donor for his righteousness and wealth, but I don't receive any rewards. I should give the money I have to pay for in exchange for the donor!" As he said that, he held the four hanging copper coins and reached out to him.

Liu Yu felt funny in his heart. He just took out a few taels of silver now, so how could he care about these four copper coins? So he smiled relievedly: "Master, meeting is fate. Let's regard this little thing outside of the body as I accumulate some merits for myself!"

The two of them had been in stalemate for a long time, but Hui tolerated in the end. He put away the copper coins helplessly and said sincerely: "Then thank you for the donor. After I returned to the temple, I will always recite scriptures and pray for the donor."

After saying this, Liu Yu looked at him with a very strange expression. With his understanding of his senior brother, Hui Ren was beyond his expectations for being able to come and thank him. And he could say such words, which was really an imagination of Liu Yu.

Huiren was quite surprised when she saw Liu Yu's expression, and couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with the donor? Is there anything wrong with the words of me?"

6 Yu shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, I'm leaving just now and was distracted. Judging from your appearance, you should have come from afar, right? I wonder if there is any place in Jinling, what is the price? Did you also come to participate in the unblocked conference?"

Huiren nodded slightly: "The donor is really knowledgeable. It's good that we are going to Qixia Temple to attend the unblocked conference."

"That's great!" Liu Yu clapped his hands excitedly: "We are also trying to join the Wuzhe Conference and join in the fun. I wonder if we can walk with you all the Zen masters?"

Huiren hesitated for a moment, then nodded and responded: "The donor has this intention, so I am naturally welcomed, but I also have some things to do at the meeting. If there is any inadequate care at that time, please don't blame the donor."

"Where are there!" Liu Yu waved his hand and then asked, "I don't know where you are, which ancient temple is practicing?"

"Amitabha Buddha, the temple where I am located is called Longgai Temple, which is located in Hn Jingling. It is a small temple. The donor may have never heard of it." Huiren explained patiently.

"Longgai Temple..." Liu Yu pretended to think for a long time, then suddenly realized: "Oh! I have heard of a Zen Master Zhi, Zhiji, who seemed to be practicing in Longgai Temple. I wonder if the Zen Master can recognize him?"

"Amitabha, that's the teacher."

"Why... didn't you come together?" Liu Yu asked as if he was catching people in the crowd.

"Master... He... has some things to deal with, so he didn't come with us." Huiren said with a smile.

"So that's the case, that's a pity! I didn't have the chance to see the Zen master." Liu Yu said a little helplessly.

Nowadays, Huiren has almost become a person. Her impulses and recklessness have been swept away, becoming humble and polite. Even her ability to conceal her emotions has become much higher than before.

But it was still discovered by 6 birds.

Just as he mentioned Zhiji, he noticed a trace of flame-like hatred from Huiren's eyebrows. Although it flashed in a flash, it was extremely clear.

"There is something strange here!" A helpless expression disappeared from Liu Yu's face, but his heart began to tug.
