The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun - Page 483
Jiang Ning glanced at him and said nothing.
Bujie didn't get an answer and continued what he was saying.
"I didn't fight with the old monk that day. A few days later, the old monk found me and wanted to fight with me. That time I beat him."
Having said that, Bujie's expression darkened slightly.
"In fact, I didn't beat the old monk, and he let me go. In fact, he also knew that I heard their conversation, but he didn't say anything in the end. He let me go."
"Before I left, the old monk said that I had wisdom and was destined to be a Buddhist disciple. I was closer to the Buddha than anyone else, but I had to experience the greed, anger, and ignorance of the world before I could achieve great freedom."
Bujie's tone was light, but one could clearly feel the sadness in his heart.
"In fact, the old monk is a good person, but there are too many things that are beyond his control. These things were not done by him and have nothing to do with him, but he chose to end it by committing suicide."
Although he has left Southern Shaolin for many years, Bujie still knows Master Lingxuan very well.
Zen Master Lingxuan had done so many things before, and finally chose to pass away, which meant that the matter ended with him.
After listening to Bujie's entire story, Jiang Ning's expression remained calm. He was not angry or had any other emotions as Bujie had imagined.
“It’s a bit long-winded.”
Jiang Ning commented on Bujie's narrative ability.
Bujie burst out laughing.
“Isn’t it normal for elderly people to be a little long-winded?”
Jiang Ning said nothing.
After telling the secret that was in his heart, Bujie seemed to feel a lot lighter and looked relaxed.
He looked at Jiang Ning. Although the other party did not swear that he would not implicate innocent people because of this incident, he believed that Jiang Ning would not do it, even if the other party was the murderous Ning Yanwang.
I don't know why, he just believes it.
"I've known you."
Bujie looked at Jiang Ning.
"You have killed countless people, but you have never killed anyone who should not have been killed. However, you are too extreme and have a strong murderous nature. I know that you hate evil, so you are very cruel to those evil demons. But you are too persistent in eliminating evil. Everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches the extreme. Being too extreme is not good for you. The old monk once said something to me, and I want to give it to you to prevent you from becoming a demon in the end."
“Let go of your attachments and you will be free.”
Jiang Ning laughed.
"That's what I want."
Chapter 544: Return to the Capital
Bujie was speechless, then he started laughing.
Yes, didn't he want to do this? Wasn't he so persistent towards Yi Lin's mother? Even though she had disappeared for so many years, he had been looking for her and never gave up. Now their family was finally reunited. Wasn't this his persistence?
"That's all I know. Now that the old monk is dead, no one in the entire Southern Shaolin knows about this. You and the Huashan Sect won't be able to find any clues if you go to Southern Shaolin again."
After Bujie finished speaking, he was about to leave, and Linghu Chong came over after seeing that the conversation was over.
"Master, are you leaving?"
Bujie looked at Linghu Chong, then looked at Jiang Ning, laughed, and said to Linghu Chong: "Stupid boy."
Linghu Chong scratched his head in confusion.
Bujie didn't say anything else, just turned around and left.
"I've been away for so long, Yilin's mother must have missed me. Goodbye."
Watching Bujie disappear into the night, Linghu Chong scratched his head and said with a smile: "Master Bujie is such a wonderful person."
Jiang Ning also smiled and nodded.
"Ah."
"Oh, it's getting late. I have to go to bed early."
After taking a look at the sky, Linghu Chong prepared to go to bed.
Linghu Chong was not interested in the content of Jiang Ning and Bujie's private conversation just now, and was too lazy to ask.
Looking at Linghu Chong, who was lying on the ground with his legs crossed and a piece of grass in his mouth, Jiang Ning suddenly laughed.
"I heard that Shanxi's Fenjiu is very famous, but I haven't had the chance to try it before."
Oh?
Linghu Chong opened his eyes, which instantly brightened up. He sat up and looked at Jiang Ning.
"Junior brother, are you also interested in Fenjiu?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "You can give it a try. After all, it's not easy to come to Shanxi, so you have to try it."
Linghu Chong's eyes lit up.
If Jiang Ning wants to drink, then can't he drink it too?
Seeing the smile on Linghu Chong's face that he could hardly suppress, Jiang Ning gave him a warning.
“You can’t get drunk.”
Linghu Chong nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
After getting Jiang Ning's promise, Linghu Chong lay down happily, humming.
"When I am sober, I sit in front of the flowers. When I am drunk, I sleep under the flowers..."
……
It was February when Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong finally arrived in the capital.
"As expected, you should come to Shanxi to drink Fenjiu. The Fenjiu I drank in the restaurant in Xi'an is totally incomparable to the one now."
Linghu Chong was half lying on the ox cart, sighing.
Jiang Ning sat aside and looked at his intoxicated face and the several jars of wine beside him and shook his head, but did not pay any attention to him.
After Never Quit confessed that night, Jiang Ning no longer controlled Linghu Chong's drinking, and regarded it as a reward for his contribution. Linghu Chong drank to his heart's content this time, and enjoyed drinking every day.
The old man driving the ox cart turned around and looked Linghu Chong up and down.
"Are you from Shanxi? Your accent doesn't sound like it."
"Hey? Uncle, you can still understand the Shanxi accent?"
Linghu Chong asked curiously.
The old man chuckled and said, "I went to Shanxi to do some business a few years ago, so I know a little bit."
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "We are from Shaanxi."
The old man was surprised: "Shaanxi? So far away? Are you two coming to Beijing to seek refuge with your relatives?"
"That's it."
Jiang Ning said this simply and didn't say much more.
"That's pretty far."
The old man smacked his lips.
The capital city was not far away and the ox cart arrived there in the afternoon.
"My Lords, we have arrived in the capital."
Looking at the city not far ahead, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong got out of the car.
"Thank you."
Jiang Ning took some copper coins and handed them to the old man.
Linghu Chong took away the wine on the ox cart, leaving only one jar.
"Master, this jar of wine is for you."
The old man, who had been smiling happily because he thought he could make money on this trip, quickly refused when he heard what Linghu Chong said, but Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong had already left.
"These two gentlemen are really good people."
The old man couldn't help showing his joy when he saw the wine on the ox cart.
……
"Wow, is this the capital? It's really big."
Before entering the city, Linghu Chong was amazed at the huge size of the city.
There was a constant stream of people coming and going at the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the gate were checking the people entering the city.
"stop!"
Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong waited in line for a long time and when it was finally their turn, the soldiers stopped them.
"What's your name? What are you doing in the capital? Do you have a pass?"
"What kind of pass?"
Linghu Chong did not ask for a pass when he went to other places. He could basically go wherever he wanted to go. The local government had no control over them. When Linghu Chong heard about the pass, he subconsciously asked back.
"No directions?"
Upon hearing this, the soldiers were ready to take action. Jiang Ning, who had experience, handed over the gold medal.
"The hero of Guanzhong?"
Just like Jiang Ning's first visit to the capital, these soldiers had never heard of the Guanzhong hero. After carefully identifying that it was indeed issued by the imperial court, their attitude immediately straightened up. They hurriedly escorted Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong into the city without even checking Linghu Chong's pass.
Linghu Chong looked stunned.
"Your gold medal has this function?"
Jiang Ning smiled and said, "That's the only function it has."
"I'll get one someday."
