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

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, the Taoist priest's footsteps are heavy, every step is extremely difficult, the Taoist priest is walking slower and slower, and suddenly with a finger of his left hand, a mellow pill floated on Lei Shaoxuan, turning into powder and spreading, and the Taoist priest then spewed out a breath of green gas, and the green gas rolled up with powder and submerged into Lei Shaoxuan's body.

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 riverside is full of lively 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 the 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, who are going to pick the flowers and will be back in a moment. 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.

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.

"What 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 completely dark, and the surrounding scene could not be seen clearly.

"Come home. The woman in white said.

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

Lei Shaoxuan was very anxious, at this time there was already a strong wind, the temperature dropped sharply, the wind and snow were combined, Lei Shaoxuan was so cold that he shivered, and he hugged his shoulders with his hands.

"They have already gone home from another way, no one has taken this broken bridge, this broken bridge is only you, maybe they have already arrived home!" the woman in white persuaded softly.

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

"Because my mother has my sister by her side, I can only take care of my sister first, and if I bring my sister to you, 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, only the glacier and dead trees, and there were frozen corpses with different dead forms lying faintly on the ground.

Lei Shaoxuan was terrified, but suddenly found that his body was covered with a layer of snow, 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 had subsided, Hu Youde helped him, and half-lay down and ate a bowl of gruel boiled from jerky, after eating, Lei Shaoxuan was no longer asleep.

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

"Those two people are famous 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.

"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 of the surrounding houses are white and the silk is high, the yellow flags are swaying, and there is a desk in the middle of the open space, there are fruits and vegetables, snacks, incense and candles are lit, and an iron basin is burning paper money, and the green smoke is filled.

A Taoist priest stepped on the sky in front of the desk, and a fat monk was knocking on the wooden fish on the side to chant sutras, and in front of the monk were more than a dozen coffins, which were placed together with other coffins in the courtyard, but 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 the Quartet, the situation is changing, it seems that the gloomy air, suddenly cracked a hole, the sun shines in, the lotus flowers are raised, as if the cold winter is gone, the spring flowers are blooming, and life wakes up.

Lei Shaoxuan looked at the dense coffin, his heart was 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.

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 are contempt and blasphemy of life, and only struggle hard and try to move forward.

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 monk, carried out dozens of coffins from the Hongjue Temple, set up the dojo for many days, recited Buddhist scriptures for several days, and overlived the soul, and finally buried the coffin in the mountain behind the temple, and remembered 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 Buddha country, went through a lot of hardships, after several years to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures, rebuilt the Hongjue Temple, the incense of the Hongjue Temple is flourishing, the second year of Tianjian, the Hongjue Temple was given the title of the Great Mercy Hongjue Temple, and the monk was enshrined as the emperor of the country.

Hongjue Temple has mercy on the people of the world, but whenever there is a catastrophe or epidemic, all open the temple door, save the suffering, and do not take a penny;

Everyone was puzzled by this strange rule. Legend has it 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 his poverty. In order to commemorate the lover, the monk planted a peach forest behind the temple.

However, a master once passed by the peach forest, looked carefully in the air, shook his head, and said: "Where is this tryst place? It is clearly the path of the netherworld, a shortcut to the return of reincarnation to the lonely soul and wild ghost." 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 that the person who enters it by mistake will be injured by mistake, and the yin qi will enter the body, and all kinds of diseases will be riddled with diseases, so that what was originally a good thing has become a bad thing. ”

So the master casually threw out a peach pit, and in a blink of an eye, the peach pit cracked, sprouted, and grew a small green peach tree.

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

After the deed, the master was like 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 love affair when he was young, and it attracted the sympathy and envy of countless infatuated 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 focuses on helping the poor and the poor, and travels all over 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.
