"This Yi'er is originally handsome, as long as you dress up a little, you can shine brightly. Mr. Shoichi was also unsparing in his praise.

"It's ...... This is...... But this clothes can be exchanged for a while, but this character can't be exchanged for a while. Ao Xianggong said proudly.

"Huh...... Look at you Ao Xianggong proud. Mr. Zhengyi quipped, "According to the poor Dao's opinion: you should choose a date as soon as possible to complete the marriage for the two of them, you should also arrange the dojo of the two great monks as soon as possible, and you yourself should also make other plans as soon as possible." ”

"What Mr. said is that Yu Xiang will do it as soon as possible. Ao Xianggong said respectfully.

"In this way, there is nothing to worry about in the poor road, so I went to Tianzhu Mountain. Mr. Shoichi said, stood up, and said to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, the poor road has taken his leave." ”

Everyone was stunned, and before they could get up and return the salute, they saw Mr. Zhengyi dragging a cane in his hand, walking a few steps, and disappearing into the hall.

Ao Xianggong hurriedly chased out of the hall, but saw that the night sky was silent, the stars were blinking, and Mr. Zhengyi had already disappeared.

The next day, Gongying and the maid Xiaoyu accompanied Youyi, went to the Huayang Town Market, and purchased some of her daughter's belongings, including dresses, jewelry, rouge and gouache, etc., it turned out that Gongying's mother had been dead for more than two years, and there was no heroine at home, and Xiaoyu assisted Gongying in taking care of all women's affairs.

Then, after returning from the market, Gongying and Xiaoyu arranged a boudoir for Youyi to live temporarily in the backyard.

Ao Xiang Gong personally went to Luzhuang, and conveyed Qingteng's entrustment to Lu Weng and his wife, in order to avoid the two of them being sad, he only said that Qingteng met her aunt and had been taken home. Although Lu Weng and his wife were very sad and did not want to hear the news, since these words came from the mouth of Ao Xianggong, they were convinced.

After resting for a few more days, Zhi'an Zhiren had already healed their flesh wounds by exercising their own exercises, and they wanted to find a quiet place to practice. Ao Xianggong persuaded him, so he personally brought drinking water and dry food, acted as a guide, and entered the deep mountains and old forests with the two, and began to look for a quiet place, preparing to open up a place to cultivate.

But the three of them wore stars and moons, cut thorns and thorns, and searched for two or three months in a row, but they never found a good place.

On this day, the three of them went to the mountains more than ten miles northwest of Huayang Town to look for most of the day, but the drinking water and dry food had been exhausted, and it was too late to look at the sky, so they decided to go down the mountain.

But just half a mile away, they suddenly heard a gurgling sound of water coming from under the rocks of the sloping valley in the west, and the three of them hurriedly looked for it.

But when I saw a clear pool, the blue water rippled, reflecting the mountain light.

The three of them had already had a dry mouth and smoke in their throats, so they all squatted on the edge of the clear pool, scooped water to eat, and ate to their heart's content. When I got up, I suddenly saw three shadows reflected in the rippling water, and they all sat on their knees, and the light behind their shoulders was like a mirror, and they disappeared in a moment.

Zhi'an saw it and said with great joy: "Ruixiang appears in the pool, there must be something good here, let's quickly look for it." ”

"Exactly...... I saw it too!" Zhi Ren also saw the mystery in the pool and was excited.

The two of them were originally monks who had opened the light of Jin Qiaojue, the virtuous king of Jizo, and both had seven hundred years of Dao fruits, so when they caught a glimpse of Ruixiang, they had no doubt, and they pulled the vines and climbed the cliff one after the other, and they did not rush to look for it.

Ao Xianggong was confused when he heard this, and when he saw that the two of them were happily forgetful, the ape ran away, so he saved all his strength and then climbed.

The three of them climbed to the cliff one after another, and suddenly saw an empty flat land of dozens of feet in front of them, and a cave facing the sky was exposed on the cliff over there.

The three of them rejoiced, and climbed up to the cave again.

Zhi'an was agile and climbed the cave cliff first, but when he just caught a glimpse of the hole, he couldn't help but let out a frightened cry of "ah" and fell backwards. Fortunately, he was quick to grasp a string of kudzu vines, so he didn't fall off the cliff.

Ao Xianggong and Zhiren heard the screams of fear, and they were terrified, and they didn't know what was happening.

It was inexplicable when I suddenly heard a tiger roar, the earth shook the mountains, and the wind and clouds changed color.

I saw that in the remnant sun, a spotted tiger appeared on the cliff of the cave, standing with its head up, mighty and extraordinary.

Suddenly, the three of them were stunned, grabbed the vines with both hands, and hung on the cliff, not daring to take a breath.

But after a while, the spotted tiger only stirred its tongue and bared its teeth, but did not make any hurtful moves.

Zhi'an came to his senses and knew that the spotted tiger was the sacred beast guarding the mountain, so he said sincerely: "Brother Tiger: The little monk has suffered from demons and is ready to borrow your treasure land to practice, if Brother Tiger is unwilling to get out of the way, he will eat the three of us; ”

The tiger squinted, looked silently for a moment, suddenly seemed to understand the human words, nodded, roared to the sky, swung his tail, jumped away, and disappeared in an instant.

The three of them were shocked, climbed into the cave, and saw that the cave was spacious, about a few zhang deep, it was a good place to practice!

Zhi'an Heshi said: "Amitabha, thank you for the Buddha's revelation, the little monk finally got his wish. ”

Ao Xiang said fairly: "Since we have found a good place, then we will hurry down the mountain now, and wait for tomorrow to call some people to come and clean up this cave, and then provide it for the two of you to practice." ”

"No need, since the two of us have found a place to practice, there is no reason to go back. Zhi'an said.

"This ......" Ao Xianggong looked worried, "It's getting late, if the big worm comes back and hurts people, what should I do?"

"It shouldn't be coming back, it's coming back, although the two of us are seriously injured and can't move, but there is still a way to subdue the tiger, even if it is eaten, it is also destined to be the front, and Ao Xianggong doesn't have to worry." Zhi'an said indifferently.

"This ......," Ao Xianggong was speechless, pondering for a moment, "That's it, then I'll go down the mountain first, prepare some offerings for the two of you, and send them up the mountain tomorrow." After I am done, I will accompany the two of you. ”

"Then thank you Ao Xianggong. Zhi'an Zhiren thanked him in unison.

The two monks suffered a heavy blow from the old monster, although Mr. Zhengyi helped the Dharma, but the vitality has not healed so far, and the two were originally Buddhist disciples, the most fond of meditation, now there is this quiet shelter, is in line with the wishes, how to leave, so after the two thanks, no more words, kneeling and sitting, such as meditation.

Ao Xianggong had no choice but to turn around and go down the mountain and return to Tanjiazhuang.

Since the fight, Ao Xianggong or a few days or a few days, to the tiger cave to send some incense, rice and other offerings, alone back and forth, without others, but the spirit is declining, that is, the limit is coming.

Ao Xianggong knew that he was going to die, so in desperation, he held a marriage for Gongying and Youyi, and handed over the family plan, and instructed the two to have a wedding, but they were not allowed to sleep in the same bed.

It has been a few days since the wedding.

Ao Xianggong suddenly remembered that he hadn't gone to the Tiger Cave for many days, so he had prepared rice and grain the night before and was ready to send it up the mountain the next day.

It was the middle of winter, with cold winds and heavy snowfall, which continued for several days.

Therefore, Gongying persuaded Ao Xianggong to rest and let him send it for him, or call a servant to send it for him, but Ao Xianggong refused to agree and would send it in person.

As soon as the sky dawned on the second day, Ao Xianggong was ready. The couple was helpless, so Youyi took a big leather and covered her father-in-law to keep warm.

Ao Xianggong put on a big skin, barely reluctantly raised his spirits, and took the things that should be offered and walked out of the Tan Mansion.

The sky was full of clouds, heavy snow was flying, and as far as the eye could see, the villages were covered in silver, and everything was gray.

Ao Xianggong greeted the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, walked through the market, walked through the villages, crossed the mountains, and hurriedly walked more than ten miles, and had already come to the front of the mountain pass.

But seeing that the heavy snow has already sealed the valley, the rivers are full of mountains, covered in silver, and the rugged mountain roads have long been submerged in the snow, and it is impossible to distinguish the direction.

Ao Xianggong relied on the old road to be familiar, stepped on more than two feet of snow, creaked deep and shallow and climbed up the mountain.

Before he had climbed half the way, Ao Xianggong was already sweating profusely, his underwear was soaked and clinging to his body, and his ten toes were even more cold and stiff, and he couldn't step on the direction when he stepped down, but as soon as he rested, the cold wind was whirring into his body, and he saw that his whole body was hot, but it was bitterly cold.

Trembling and crawling through the road for two or three miles, Ao Xianggong was mentally dizzy, physically exhausted, and fell tired in the snow as soon as his feet slipped, unconscious, and was quickly buried by the howling snowstorm, and blended into a white snow world.

Perhaps Ao Xianggong is strong-willed, and the idea of worship is not finished, and he will wake up leisurely soon. He picked up the snowdrifts, gathered all his strength, stepped on the broken jade, and continued to staggering towards the top of the mountain.

In the darkness of the day, Ao Xianggong finally climbed to the Tiger Cave.

He fell down in the snow at the entrance of the cave and said weakly, "You two...... I've been waiting for a long time, I'm ...... I have already sent an offering. ”

But I saw that in the cave where the ice ridge was hanging, Zhi'an Zhi sat on his knees, his five hearts were in the sky, and he was as steady as a rock. There was already an extra futon between the two.

Suddenly hearing the call, the two opened their eyes, exerted their magical powers, their arms were several zhang long, each grabbed one of Ao Xianggong's arms, and sat on the central futon.

Zhi'an laughed and said, "Ao Xianggong, I've been waiting for you for a long time. The hour has come, let's go together!"

Ao Xianggong suddenly seemed to be enlightened, and the two monks looked at each other and smiled.

The laughter was filled with discerning pleasure, and it floated straight out of the cave, drifting among the snow-capped mountains, whirling and enduring.

The three of them were full of red light, their eyebrows were lowered, and their five hearts were towards the Buddha, and they did not move, and they had already gone away.

Gongying and his wife were worried about Ao Xianggong's safety day and night, and after waiting for two days, they still didn't see Ao Xianggong returning, so they became even more uneasy, so they called their servants and went to look for them together.

When the heavy snow stopped, everyone had been looking for three days, and finally under the guidance of several villagers, they found the Tiger Cave, it turned out that Ao Xianggong never told anyone about the specific location of the Tiger Cave in order to prevent others from disturbing the retreat of the two monks, but sometimes when passing by the village under the mountain, it was occasionally seen by others.

At this time, the three of them sat cross-legged, their appearance/appearance/solemnity/strictness, warmth/moistness/ru/life, but the snort was already gone.
