Early the next morning, Xuan Zhao set off from Yizhou, and this time his destination went straight to Tiangong Mountain. The journey of more than 400 kilometers is indeed a bit of a long journey for others, but Xuanzhao, who does not take the usual road, seems to be more comfortable with this.

We set off on time at a quarter past eight in the morning and arrived at the bottom of the mountain at twelve o'clock in the evening.

Xuan Zhao stopped at the foot of the mountain for a moment, and his mood finally fluctuated a little at this time. By the hazy moonlight, he stepped on the incomparably familiar path, and in a short time, he finally stood in front of the door of the small courtyard, and the memories of his youth kept pouring into his mind like a river.

The front of the small courtyard is cleaned, and the fruits and vegetables in the yard are still full of vitality. Xuanzhao almost took a step at a time, he closed his eyes, and quietly felt the long-lost, faint, and warm feeling with his heart.

In the silent night, a shadow seemed to jump out of his body, it was a two- or three-year-old boy wearing a little monk's robe rolling in the mud, Gu Xian was meditating in the Dharma Hall; then Xuan Zhao looked up, and on an ancient tree behind the courtyard, a five or six-year-old little novice was swinging around on the branches like a monkey, not afraid of whether he would fall from that place several meters high, and Gu Xian was still meditating in the Dharma hall and participating in meditation; Catch it, Xuanzhao, make a fire!"

Xiao Shami shouted happily, "Qianying, you are so powerful!"

A monk and two little ones sucked a hare clean with saliva, and this was the first time they had sneaked out to eat meat without knowing how many times.

Xuan Zhao's heart moved slightly, the corners of his mouth smiled warmly, he gently pushed the door and raised his feet, and the room was pitch black...

"Ouch, Master spares his life, the apprentice knows his mistake!"

Eight-year-old Xuanzhao held his head in his hands, and his tears fell down as if he didn't want money, this time, Master Gu Xian was really angry. The little guy went to heaven and earth into lawlessness, and the wind that he didn't know how to smoke actually knocked off the head of the Buddha statue of Sakyamuni in the middle hall, and the ancient sage who had always been in the ancient well and had no waves beat Xuanzhao well, anyway, he didn't get out of bed for two days.

In the end, the old man chopped a stone from the forest in a sigh, took a knife and beat it for a full month, re-carved a Buddha head, and asked the little monk to go to the mountain to find the little Taoist priest of Qianying to ask for watercolor.

A meal of "Buddhism."

After Yu", Xuanzhao pouted his ass again and went up the mountain, but unfortunately the colors were uneven, and the ink technique of Master Gu Xian was indeed debatable, in short... This Buddha head is much better than the one that was shattered by Xuanzhao...

Everything is like yesterday.

Xuan Zhao folded his hands together and made a gesture to the Buddha statue, and then entered the room on the left.

He unpacked his bags and put the rosary in his hand on the small wooden table, and then slowly knelt down on an old futon in front of the bed.

"Master, apprentice, you're back..."

The bed, of course, is empty.

The breeze outside the window poured into the room, gentle and refreshing, Xuanzhao closed his eyes and was calm. After reporting to the master and returning to the mountain, he told in detail what he had seen and heard along the way, including his own thoughts and thoughts, without omission, just like when he was a child, he reported his homework to Gu Xian.

From going down the mountain to meet Shen Chong, then to Fenghua to meet Qu Yuan, from Yujiang to Anjin, and then through Shangjin and Jin'an, from Lingnan to Sichuan into the warehouse, and finally from Yincang to Sichuan, through the Nanjiang River back to Yizhou, it can be regarded as wrapping the land and walking an inner circle.

Xuan Zhao talked like this for a whole night, and as soon as the sky was slightly light, he got up. Master's grave is in the backyard, and the reason why he doesn't go to worship at night is fine, but now there are always some worldly people around here who like to engage in some kind of wild travel, and if he chatters alone in front of Master's grave all night, he will be seen by those people and will have to be scared to the point of insanity.

Some wild fruits were picked on the mountain and brought to Gu Xian's grave, and Xuan Zhao sat there for a long time, this time without speaking.

At noon, two voices came from the dense forest, and Xuanzhao in meditation slowly opened his eyes.

"Qianying, you're too careful, even if you don't have anything to do, you don't need to come to clean it once a week, Xuanzhao has only been down the mountain for a year, and he will definitely not come back in three or five years." ”

"I didn't let you follow. Qianying's tone was full of disgust.

"Alas, I'm also doing this for your own good, you see that Master has been a little dissatisfied with your homework recently, if it goes on like this, Master should really be angry. The man still gave Qianying a serious advice.

It's okay not to say this, but as soon as he said it, Qianying became angry, his eyebrows were raised, and his voice was an octave higher: "Are you embarrassed to say? Which time didn't you drag me into the water because you couldn't finish your homework?" Speaking of which, the last time you dumped the pot on me, I didn't settle accounts with you, and now you are reminding me?"

"Don't don't, it's me who is wrong, you always have mercy. The man quickly waved his hand and begged for mercy.

Gu Xian's tomb stands behind the courtyard, and there is only one road leading to the outside world in front of the courtyard, if you don't deliberately come to investigate, it is difficult for ordinary people to find that there is a person behind this small house.

Xuan Zhao didn't have any tricks, and he didn't leave the tomb until the two of them pushed the door into the house, and stood still in front of the courtyard with the iconic Buddha smile of the little monk of the Xuan clan on the corner of his mouth.

"Who trespassed into my house to spread wilderness, come out quickly and surrender on your own initiative!" The little monk suddenly shouted loudly, who said that he would not play tricks? In the past, when he was with Qianying and them, he was the most skinny among several little playmates.

There were two exclamations in the room, and the next moment Qianying and another person rushed out, "Ha, your kid is really back!"

"It turned out to be two little Taoist priests. ”

Xuanzhao's bags were all placed in the living room on the left, and every time Qianying came over, he used to start cleaning from the Dharma hall on the right, so he didn't find these foreign objects in the house at the first time.

In a year, Xuanzhao has jumped a lot, Qianying is four years older than him, and his figure has basically been set.

"You kid, when did you come back?

"Xuanzhao will always be a little Buddhist monk, you expect him to take the initiative to tell you, it is better to expect the cucumbers in this vegetable field to grow into gourds. ”

Xuan Zhao's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he smiled: "I gave two telepaths when I came back last night, maybe the two of them couldn't practice their skills at home, and they didn't feel it." ”

Qianying looked at Qianming helplessly, "You really don't praise him for his Buddha system in the future, the guy whose tail is about to rise to the sky, how can he be a Buddha?"

Xuan Zhao stretched out his hand and pointed behind them, "Why don't you continue?"

Probably only in front of them will Xuan Zhao unmask his heart and become the active teenager who is not yet twenty years old.

"Now that you, the master, have returned, it is naturally not good for us to act on our behalf, Qianming, and give the rag to our little Buddhist monk. ”

"Come, monk, go on!"

A white rag fell from the sky, Xuan Zhao caught it with one hand, shook it lightly with both hands, and then folded it, and looked at the movements very skillfully.

"Xuanzhao, tell us about the places you have been to this year, and what unforgettable scenery have you seen?"
