Autumn is the rainy season, and it's not surprising that it rains for several days in a row.

"Elder Yao, after the mountain in front, it is not far from Yin Mountain. Lin Haowen shook off the rain on his coat and explained to the old man Yao beside him.

After hearing this, Old Man Yao only nodded and did not comment. He once said that he came to help Lin Haoxuan, and this is the case, since he took Qijun to join Lin Haowen, he has never interfered in Lin Haowen's decision-making, and has truly delegated power.

And Lin Haowen naturally reciprocated, and told Old Man Yao everything, even if he didn't comment.

"General, there is a man-made stone cave in front of you, which can be sheltered from the rain for the time being. While Lin Haowen was talking to Old Man Yao, the spies came to Lin Haowen to tell him.

"Artificial stone cave?" Lin Haowen is strange, although this official road is next to the mountain, but there is a stone cave is also unusual, "Is it dangerous?"

"It is a cave dedicated to the gods and Buddhas, and there is no danger. ”

After hearing this, Lin Haowen said to Old Man Yao: "In this case, take shelter from the rain and take a rest." ”

Old man Yao still nodded, "It's okay." ”

So the people went to the cave where the gods and Buddhas were enshrined, led by the spies.

When they reached the ground, they saw the entrance of the cave where three carts could enter together, and everyone did not hesitate, so they entered the cave with their chariots and horses. When they entered the cave, they found that there was no cave in the cave, and hundreds of them did not even feel crowded with carriages and horses, which showed how wide the cave was.

Lin Haowen ordered everyone to rest in place, and looked around only to find that the cave was not as imagined and could not see the five fingers, although the light in the cave was not sufficient, but it could also distinguish some appearances, so he had the mind to look around.

I saw a stone statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva placed in front of the cave, and the stone statue of Guanyin was a little brighter than other places. If it weren't for the rainy day, perhaps the stone statue of Guanyin would be the same as what you see in the sunlight outside the cave.

Lin Haowen felt surprised, and couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look. When the old man Yao on the side saw Grandpa Ling'er who got off the carriage, he left Lin Haowen and talked to Grandpa Ling'er.

Lin Haowen walked into the stone statue by himself, only to find that the stone statue of Guanyin was extremely coarsely carved, which was extremely inconsistent with his original idea. This cave is built so atmospherically, it stands to reason that the Guanyin enshrined is not to mention that it is carved lifelike, but at least it should be lined with this magnificent stone cave, but I don't want it to be so rough.

Lin Haowen was interested, and couldn't help but grope around, trying to find out what was boring.

Tentacle Lotus Platform, a cold feeling went straight to his heart, making Lin Haowen shudder.

Lin Haowen turned to clench his fists and knock his fingers, and gently tapped the stone statue, his voice was low, but it was undoubtedly a stone. He didn't explain it in his heart, and he couldn't help but observe more carefully.

"This has nothing to do with you, but it made you wade into this troubled water, which really shouldn't be. ”

When Lin Haowen observed the secrets in the cave to satisfy his curiosity, Old Man Yao and Grandpa Ling'er also talked. Since Grandpa Ling'er told Old Man Yao that night, Old Man Yao has been much kinder to Grandpa Ling'er. And Grandpa Ling'er knew the identity of Old Man Yao, and he had a feeling that he was also a fallen man at the end of the world, so he was also kind to Old Man Yao.

"Yi Feng's kid deceived my granddaughter, and now I will get wet if I don't go to this troubled water. Grandpa Ling'er was extremely dissatisfied when he talked about this, and Yi Feng gritted his teeth even more when he said it.

Although Old Man Yao was curious about how a person like Grandpa Ling'er, who had lived for a long time, could have such a half-grown granddaughter, he didn't want to ask too much. Grandpa Wen Ling'er was also dumbfounded when he said that Yi Feng was also dumbfounded, but he did his best to help Yi Feng for some reasons.

"Speaking of which, how could a character like you be so despicable and shameless

What does the villain do?" Grandpa Ling'er suddenly felt a little strange about Old Man Yao's choice.

Old man Yao naturally didn't say anything, but said, "Aren't you also under that kid?"

"I was just forced to help each other. Grandpa Ling'er also heard the meaning of Old Man Yao's refusal to say more, and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about him." ”

"Then let's talk about our stupid general. Seeing that Grandpa Ling'er no longer said Yi Feng, Old Man Yao hurriedly changed the topic and talked about Lin Haowen.

Looking at Lin Haowen, who was still observing the stone statue, Old Man Yao smiled and said, "This General Lin is really stupid sometimes. ”

"If we were his age, we might be about the same age as him, and we would just live more and see more. Grandpa Ling'er said pertinently.

Old Man Yao nodded, "Indeed, if it weren't for this stupidity, he would have been like this all his life." ”

"You're not going to help him?"

Old man Yao shook his head, "Wouldn't it be better to find out by yourself, why help." ”

"My old man doesn't care, I'm afraid that he will be obsessed with it for a while, and the time will be missed. ”

When Old Man Yao heard this, he felt that Grandpa Ling'er was reasonable, and said with a smile: "It's cheap, this kid." ”

After speaking, Old Man Yao got up and walked towards Lin Haowen, but saw him groping everywhere, tapping from time to time, and sighed: "I'm really fascinated." ”

Old man Yao patted Lin Haowen on the shoulder, "General Lin, it's time for us to go." ”

Lin Haowen was still thinking about the reason, but he was taken aback by Old Man Yao. When he came back to his senses, he heard Old Man Yao say "It's time to go", and then he glanced at everyone in a trance.

I regretted it from the bottom of my heart, but Lin Haowen knew that the matter was serious, so he had to respond: "Okay." ”

Old man Yao saw that Lin Haowen's face was as usual but faintly a little discouraged, so he didn't want to tease him anymore, and said bluntly: "General Lin is discouraged because he doesn't understand this stone statue?"

"Yes. Lin Haowen did not hide it, and said bluntly: "This stone statue is clearly visible in the stone cave, if it is a sunny day, it must be the same as the outside, this is one of them." This cave was built wide, which shows the mind of the people who built it at that time, but this Guanyin stone statue is extremely rough and does not conform to reason, which is the second. I really don't understand the reason for this contradiction. ”

After speaking, Lin Haowen seemed to think of something, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Could it be that Yao Lao knows the mystery?"

"This stupid general is not too stupid. Old man Yao said in his heart.

After coughing, Old Man Yao said casually: "I seem to know a little." ”

Lin Haowen was overjoyed, "Please ask Yao Lao to solve your doubts." ”

"Why do you want to know?"

Lin Haowen didn't know why Old Man Yao suddenly asked such a sentence, but he still replied honestly: "If you are confused, you will naturally think of the answer." ”

"But there are so many things in the world, what good do you know about it?"

Lin Haowen was stopped by Old Man Yao, it is true that this has nothing to do with him, and if he knows, he is just adding a talking point, which is really not beneficial.

Old man Yao squinted and said, "Let's go, the soldiers are still waiting." ”

"No!" Lin Haowen suddenly raised his head and said, "I just want to know the reason, I don't want to know why." What does it matter to me whether it is good or not. ”

Old man Yao imagined several possible answers from Lin Haowen, but he didn't guess that he would start from the essence of the question. Knowing is willingness, and what does it have to do with knowing whether to talk or see after knowing.

Old man Yao found that he underestimated Lin Haowen, and Lin Haowen was definitely not as simple as he thought.

"Okay! I just want to know why, I don't want to do it

How do you know? Grandpa Ling'er came from the side and said with a smile.

"You're here to see my jokes?" asked Old Man Yao.

"Nope. Grandpa Ling'er said: "I came to see the ordinary time of a person who is destined to be extraordinary." ”

Grandpa Ling'er is in Kwarin Howen. When Yi Feng was deceived, Grandpa Ling'er scolded, and when Lin Haowen was clever, Grandpa Ling'er scoffed, but now he is really praising Lin Haowen, which shows how Lin Haowen's sentence won the heart of Grandpa Ling'er.

Old man Yao did not refute Grandpa Ling'er's words, but said to Lin Haowen: "For the general to hurry on the road, I will answer the doubts in the general's heart." ”

Lin Haowen didn't know why Old Man Yao and Grandpa Ling'er were so weird, and when he heard that Old Man Yao was willing to answer, he couldn't help but be happy, and he no longer wondered about anything else, "Then thank you Old Yao." ”

Old man Yao walked into the stone statue and said, "General Lin has observed two questions in detail, but he has forgotten a very important point, time. ”

"General Lin has ever thought that this cave is so magnificent but has never heard of it? This can only be the fact that the passage of time has buried the existence of the cave, and there may be two or three passers-by who come in to take a look when they pass through the official road, but they are more than surprised, but they are not as careful as the general to check. Time has buried this magnificent cave. ”

Speaking of this, Old Man Yao couldn't help but be a little emotional, "Shaohua is easy to pass away, people are easy to be white, and the passage of time makes everything wrong, even stones can't be avoided." ”

"Stones can't be avoided. Lin Haowen muttered to himself, as if he had found something.

Old Man Yao continued: "The light you see is caused by the light from the outside entering the cave, there are no small holes on the stone statue to connect to the outside, they are inclined to the hillside at an angle to avoid the sand and gravel burial, they are dense and interconnected to avoid bushes, although there are weeds to block but not have much effect. ”

"There are pros and cons, these holes stop the growth of the bush, but they don't stop the rain. The rain fell down the many small holes and fell on the stone statue, which had been corroded for many years and was no longer as delicate as it used to be. ”

"However, the small hole is still there, and this stone statue can still see some appearance, which shows that this cave has been formed less than 30 years ago. But in less than a hundred years, if the small hole could not withstand the rainwater and collapsed, or the stone statue was corroded to the point that it had never been, the wonder of this cave would have been destroyed, and it would have been an ordinary cave. ”

Lin Haowen listened to Old Man Yao finish everything, his eyes couldn't help but look up, although he couldn't see too clearly because of the cloudy and dim sky, but he vaguely heard the sound of water droplets, and he knew in his heart that what Old Man Yao said was true.

After listening to Old Man Yao's words, Grandpa Ling'er couldn't help but feel emotional, "Stones can't resist the erosion of time, let alone people who only have a hundred years of life." If you want to change your life against the sky, you will pay an extra price if you live a little more, you can't change it, you can't change it. ”

Old man Yao also responded to Ling'er's grandfather's words and said: "Time is quantitative, and there must be an increase and a decrease. When we get, we should think about the limits of what we give. ”

Lin Haowen understood Old Man Yao's explanation, but Lin Haowen only felt inexplicable when he heard the feelings of the two old men, but he didn't know what he meant, but it was not easy to elaborate.

"That's it, even General Lin is in a hurry, so we no longer sigh, we should have arrived in Yinshan as soon as possible. Old man Yao caught a glimpse of Lin Haowen's blankness, and couldn't help but laugh.

Grandpa Ling'er took Old Man Yao's words, "Yes, yes, General Lin, let's go." ”

"Please, two. Lin Haowen didn't understand what he meant, and when he saw the two of them leaving, he left.
