In the air of the main hall, there was a golden bowl floating, and the golden bowl emitted a soft light, enveloping Lei Shaoxuan.

In the light of the golden bowl, Lei Shaoxuan's face was delicate.

The brows are tightly locked, and the face is pale, emaciated, and haggard, which makes people feel distressed.

The Taoist priest held a loose pattern sword in his hand, surrounded Lei Shaoxuan, stepped on the seven-star step, and chanted words in his mouth.

It seems that he is carrying a boulder, and the Taoist priest's steps are heavy, and every step he takes is extremely difficult.

The Taoist priest walked slower and slower, and after three laps, suddenly with a finger of his left hand, a mellow pill floated onto Lei Shaoxuan's body, turning into powder and spreading;

Spraying out this breath of green air, the Taoist priest suddenly looked depressed, and sat directly on the ground, with his five hearts facing upward, closing his eyes and pranayama. Obviously, after the Taoist priest spewed out green qi, he hurt his body very much.

At this time, a woman in white suddenly appeared beside the monk, the woman nodded to the monk, walked to Lei Shaoxuan's side, and disappeared in the light of the golden bowl.

Hu Youde exclaimed in his heart, this woman was the woman in white who was injured in his dream.

......

On a dilapidated stone bridge in the suburbs, Lei Shaoxuan held a book in his hand and looked around leisurely.

The murmuring water under the bridge, the peach and willow green by the stream, the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers, it is the most beautiful spring of the year.

The riverbank is full of bustling people. Pairs of young couples, drinking and singing, laughing and playing with young children, or playing kites, or chasing and pushing, or coquettishly playing with the old, wild old men or fishing, or resting...... In the open space, all kinds of vendors are bustling, bustling, shouting and shouting, one after another.

"Little brother, what are you doing?"

A woman in white walked up to the stone bridge and greeted Lei Shaoxuan. This woman has clear eyebrows, a soft voice, and a dignified appearance.

"I'm waiting for my mother and sister, they're going to pick the flowers, and they'll be back in a minute. Lei Shaoxuan was very impressed when he saw this beautiful woman.

"But it's about to change, and if you don't go home, it'll be too late in a while. The woman in white said softly.

As soon as the words fell, the sky suddenly darkened, black clouds rolled, the cold wind was cold, and the thunder in the air was faint.

"Let's go!" the woman in white urged.

"They haven't come back yet. I'm leaving, what should I do if they can't find me?" Lei Shaoxuan said anxiously.

The crowd scattered in a panic, the peach and willow green suddenly turned into dead leaves, a mess, dark clouds crushed, the sky was dark, and it was no longer possible to see the surrounding scene.

"Come home. The woman in white said.

"No, if they can't find me, they'll be in a hurry, and if they can't find the bridge, they'll get lost." Sister, you go first. ”

Lei Shaoxuan was anxious. At this time, the wind was already raging, the temperature dropped sharply, the wind and snow were combined, Lei Shaoxuan was shivering from the cold, and he hugged his shoulders with his hands.

"They've come home from another way. No one walks on this stone bridge, only you are left on the stone bridge, maybe they will all arrive home!" the woman in white persuaded softly.

"Why don't they wait for me?" asked Lei Shaoxuan disappointedly.

"Because my mother has my sister, I can only take care of my sister first. If you come to you with your sister, it will put you both in danger. You see, the people who didn't have time to go home froze to death by the river. ”

Lei Shaoxuan looked into the distance, it was pitch black all around, there was no one left, only the glacier and the dead trees, and there were frozen corpses lying on the ground.

Lei Shaoxuan was terrified, but suddenly found that a thick layer of snow covered his body, and he was frozen and unable to move.

"Sister, help me! I'm frozen, what should I do?"

"It's too late! I can't save you, you have to break free and run. ”

"It's too dark, where is the road?"

"Don't worry about the road, run first. As long as you run, you will not freeze, and as long as you run, you will always run home. ”

The woman in white was already far away, and only a faint voice could be heard.

Lei Shaoxuan struggled desperately, took a step, and rushed into the night.

......

"Ahh Lei Shaoxuan screamed and woke up.

Lei Shaoxuan's voice was weak and trembling, but his eyes were clear and powerful, his face was slightly red, and his face was no longer pale.

"Uncle Hu, I'm hungry" Lei Shaoxuan said softly, and Hu Youde was pleasantly surprised when he heard this.

Lei Shaoxuan's high fever subsided, Hu Youde helped him, and half-lay down and ate a bowl of gruel made of jerky, after eating, Lei Shaoxuan was no longer asleep.

"Thanks to that Taoist priest and monk. Hu Youde was overjoyed.

"The two of them are living immortals and living bodhisattvas on the ancient road, helping the poor all the way, and they are very famous. Shen Weiyong was also happy for Lei Shaoxuan.

"What's going on in the yard? Lei Shaoxuan asked strangely.

"The monk and Taoist priest are doing the dojo, and you are seriously ill and weak, and you can't see the coffin mourning hall, so don't look at it. ”

The sky was gloomy, and the courtyard was filled with dozens of coffins of different sizes, old and new, and the atmosphere suddenly became desolate, depressing, and sad.

In the open space in front of the coffin, the eaves around the white silk are floating high, the yellow flags are swaying, and there is a desk in the middle, which is full of fruits and vegetables, snacks, incense and candles, and the iron basin is burning paper money, and the green smoke is filled.

The Taoist priest stepped on Tiangang in front of the desk, and the fat monk knocked on the wooden fish on the side and chanted.

There were more than a dozen coffins in front of the monk, and although they were placed together with the other coffins in the courtyard, they were completely separated.

The monk recites the sacrificial text in his mouth.

"On February 16, 263 spring of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Longmen Taoist view Hong Songzi, Leiming Temple monk Guan Cheng solemnly Chen sacrifice, Heng Yu Xiping County Shou Fu Fu deceased ghost said: Buddha is difficult to catastrophe, Leer Mansion, degenerate into the netherworld. In his lifetime, he was sincere in faith, whining, complaining about the injustice of heaven, being virtuous, and the heavens were absolutely unstoppable; the lonely soul of the cocoon, wandering and wandering, the lonely wilderness, the wind and the wind, the torrential rain, the ruins and broken walls, where to shelter? Pitiful, lamentable, sad, sad, hateful, indignant! Broken bowels mourned, hated from the heavens......

At the beginning, everyone only felt the gust of cloudy wind, and after a while, the gloomy clouds and mist rolled, the sky was dark, and there were faint ghosts crying misty, crying and crying, like ten thousand ghosts crying, touching people's hearts, making people palpitate.

The sound of chanting gradually spread around, with Hongjue Temple as the center, enveloping all directions.

Suddenly, the surrounding situation changed, it seemed that in the gloomy air, suddenly a crack opened, the sun shone in, and the lotus flowers rose one after another, like the cold winter passed, the spring flowers bloomed, and life woke up.

Looking at the dense coffin, Lei Shaoxuan suddenly felt calm, there was a line between life and death, inside and outside the coffin, a thin wooden board separated the two worlds of yin and yang. Life and death are not so scary.

The Taoist priest and the monk were busy, and in the sound of chanting, everyone gathered a team and continued to hurry.

After walking for a long time, Lei Shaoxuan's heart still echoes with the life sacrifice: Turbidity world ants, struggling for their lives, but dying in their righteousness, what joy in life, why is it bitter in death? Survive for life, seek death for righteousness, have no regrets, sorrow and sorrow, joy and laughter, all are dust. Have mercy on me, how deep is the sorrow, when you work hard, you will be depressed for a while, and you will fall forever......

Lei Shaoxuan no longer has resentment—resentment towards his mother, fate and even himself.

Life is as fragile as the wind, withering in an instant, and any lamentation, hesitation, and lamentation is a contempt and blasphemy of life.

Lei Shaoxuan felt that his heart was slowly warming, and his whole body was slowly filled with strength.

In the sky, there was a wind and snow, Hu Youde carried Lei Shaoxuan on his back, and disappeared into the confused wind and snow with everyone.

......

Years later, the Ancient Tea Horse Road became more and more lively. Hongjue Temple, one of the fierce places of the ancient road, has become a Buddha land with flourishing incense.

It is rumored that there was once a Taoist priest and a monk who carried dozens of coffins from Hongjue Temple, set up a dojo for many days, recited Buddhist scriptures for many days, and overlived the soul.

In the end, the Taoist priest and the monk buried the coffin in the mountain behind the temple, remembering the name and origin of the deceased one by one, in addition, the monk also specially sent more than a dozen coffins back to a place in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

After that, it is said that the monk went to the country of Buddhism, went through a lot of hardships, and after a few years retrieved the Buddhist scriptures and rebuilt the Hongjue Temple.

Hongjue Temple incense is flourishing, Tianjian two years, Hongjue Temple was given the title of Daci Hongjue Temple, and the monk is enshrined as the emperor of the country.

Hongjue Temple has mercy on the world, but whenever there is a catastrophe or epidemic, the temple door is opened, and the suffering is relieved, without taking a penny. However, Hongjue Temple still has a rule, and those who receive help must plant a peach tree in the back mountain if they have the ability in the future.

Everyone was puzzled by this strange rule.

There is a legend that when the monk was young and did not leave home, he fell in love with a woman and often met in a peach forest, but was beaten by the woman's parents because of the poverty of the family. In order to commemorate the lover, the monk planted a peach forest behind the temple.

However, an immortal once passed by the peach forest, shook his head after seeing it in the air, and said, "Where is this tryst place? It is clearly the path of the underworld, a shortcut to the return of reincarnation for the transcendent lonely souls and wild ghosts." The world is dull, and does not understand its worries, but what to ask for. It's just that this netherworld road, gloomy and evil, appears in the world, and the peach planted is powerless to suppress the yin qi, and it is inevitable to accidentally injure the person who enters by mistake. Yin Qi enters the body, and all kinds of diseases are riddled with diseases, so that what was originally a good thing has become a bad thing. ”

So the immortal threw out a peach pit.

The peach pit fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the peach pit cracked, sprouted, and grew a small verdant peach tree.

The moment this peach tree sprouts, the peach forest is swaying without wind, like ten thousand peaches worshipping, the peach forest is like a spring breeze, and the yin and evil air is swept away.

After the deed, the immortal played a prank and wrote a paragraph on the largest peach tree:

With the wind and tears sprinkled with peach trees, the end of the world is close at hand. Yesterday the sky embraced, the sky was too forbearing, and the white head was jealous of the spring breeze, and he was a stranger from then on.

There are thousands of peaches, countless feelings, and when the remnants of the body go to the underworld, they will meet forever.

——Hongjue Temple Chengguan Question.

When the monk heard this, he couldn't cry or laugh, and he couldn't explain it, but it confirmed the rumors of the monk's relationship, and it attracted the sympathy and envy of countless crazy men and women.

After that, the area around Hongjue Temple gradually became a city, and the peach forest really became a romantic place for countless lovers to tryst.

The Taoist priest seems to have realized that although he has been struck by lightning for thousands of years, he does not pay much attention to it, and pays more attention to his own cultivation, and also pays attention to helping the poor and the poor, and travels the world.

It is said that this Taoist priest, in order to relieve the plague, spared his own body, once tried to taste a hundred herbs, several times poisoned by mistake, almost dying, and finally got the gold square, and there were countless living people.
