Chapter 440: The sweeping monk stopped the way
The group continued on the road, and the trip to Pingdingshan was fruitful and successful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
On the top of the big mountain facing west next to Pingding Mountain, Mu Ling looked at the backs of the group and was silent.
"Sister, what you see, he is no longer the golden cicada he was back then, flamboyant and flamboyant, and he doesn't abide by the precepts." Qiu Li looked at Tang Sanzang's figure that disappeared behind the mountain road and said softly.
"He once said that the heart is better than the form." Mu Ling shook his head slightly and smiled: "However, he is indeed not the same person he was back then, he is more pure, more reckless, and seems to be more free." ”
"Sister...... You wouldn't be, you fell in love with Tang Sanzang again, right? Qiu Li's eyes were full of confusion.
"Qiu Li......" Mu Ling glared at Qiu Li with some disgust.
"Ah, it's this expression again, sister, you're completely hopeless." Qiu Li sighed heavily, looking at the west and grinding his teeth.
……
After the flat-topped mountain, the mountain gradually slows down, and the weather is getting colder.
Half a month later, a heavy snow fell, wrapping the earth in heavy makeup, and at a glance, it was all white.
"Master, watch the ball!" A coquettish cry came, Tang Sanzang turned his head sideways, narrowly avoiding the snowball flying from behind him, but he had just turned his head to smile proudly, and a snowball rushed to his face, just flowering on his face.
"Haha, I hit Master!" Ao Xiaobai, who was wrapped in a small padded jacket and wearing thick gloves, called out happily, and a three-foot-long golden dragon on the side was also jumping around, looking very excited.
"Xiaobai, this way." At this time, Sun Wukong handed over to Ao Xiaobai, Ao Xiaobai answered, and then was smashed over by a big snowball, leaving a snow pit on the snow.
"Senior sister, you attacked me...... Don't run! Senior Sister Luoxi, come and help me! Ao Xiaobai rolled around and got up, grabbed two snow balls and chased after Sun Wukong.
Tang Sanzang wiped the snow on his face, looked at the apprentices chasing and fighting in front of him, and shook his head with a smile, this winter is very cold, fortunately, some cotton clothes were prepared some time ago, but apart from him, they don't feel much about the cold, so it doesn't affect the itinerary.
I haven't met monsters for a long time along the way, and Xiao Jinlong has become Xiaobai's new favorite, as for the little turtle caught from the quicksand river, it was accidentally killed by Ao Xiaobai and Sha Wanjing when they were discussing with each other a few days ago, and Ao Xiaobai also shed a few tears for it and buried it solemnly.
Everyone laughed and played all the way forward, and before they knew it, the sun had set in the west, and just when Tang Sanzang was about to find a sheltered valley as a place to set up a tent at night, Sun Wukong on the somersault cloud said in a loud voice: "Master, there is a temple in the col of five miles ahead, do you want to go there to spend the night at night?" ”
"It's a temple again, I think forget it, those monks have the most rules, and when the time comes, it's better to eat some strange vegetarian food, it's better for the master to barbecue outside." Zhu Tianpeng said a little unhappily.
"Can we bring something to the temple and roast it?" Ao Xiaobai looked at Tang Sanzang and asked.
"Then let's bring some over, just go to the temple and ask what kind of boundary this is, we haven't met anyone in many days." Tang Sanzang nodded and said, "And the room is still more comfortable than a tent after all." ”
"Okay, then I'll catch it." Ao Xiaobai nodded happily, and with a wave of her hand, the little golden dragon on the side rushed out with her and disappeared into the woods in a few clicks.
Everyone continued to move forward, turned a mountain, not far away in the col a temple looming among the trees, it seems that the scale is not small, there are hundreds of temples in the meditation room, it is a big temple.
Ao Xiaobai caught a few hares and pheasants, processed them by the mountain spring, and put them in Zhu Tianpeng's Qiankun bag. Originally, Ao Xiaobai caught a wild boar, but considering the trouble of cleaning up, and roasting such a big thing in someone's temple might cause strong dissatisfaction from the other party, he was released by Tang Sanzang.
The sun cast its last rays on the temple, and the smoke had risen from the temple, and the group finally arrived in front of the temple.
From a distance, the temple is quite magnificent, but it looks a little dilapidated up close, it can be seen from the scale that the prosperity of the year, there are two one-person high stone lions standing in front of the temple door, but now the courtyard wall is cracked and no one repairs, the paint on the wooden door of the big red paint has almost fallen off, the temple door is empty, and no one stands at the door.
"Master, are we calling the door here, or are we going to go in directly?" Zhu Tianpeng went to the courtyard gate to take a look, looked back at Tang Sanzang and asked.
"I'll go in first and ask, generally temples don't allow women to stay overnight, and most of you will be rejected if you go in together." Tang Sanzang straightened his clothes and walked inside.
"Hmph, they dare." Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows.
"Okay, this is the precept of Buddhism, no wonder they, you wait for a while, I'll ask first." Tang Sanzang said with a smile, stepped forward and patted the door, and shouted, "Is there anyone?" ”
"Master, you better go in directly, I don't think that the monks in this temple would come to the door, and there is not even a figure at the door, no wonder the poor look like this." Zhu Tianpeng pouted.
Tang Sanzang nodded, quite agreeing with Zhu Tianpeng's words, it is not unreasonable for such a big temple to be so poor, and the presiding officer of this temple has to bear an important responsibility.
You must know that the Jinshan Temple was just a small temple on the island, and in just a dozen years, it has become one of the most prosperous temples in the Tang Dynasty, not just because he became famous.
The temple door is pushed open, there is a vacant space inside, the ground paved with ashlar stones, you can see the monks preaching the scriptures, the grand occasion of the monks listening to the lectures, but now the dry grass between the stone cracks over the knees, the covered pulpit has accumulated a thick layer of ash, it can be seen that no one has preached the scriptures for a long time.
Tang Sanzang looked left and right, but did not see a single figure, and vaguely heard a rustling sound coming from behind, so he walked towards the back.
Turning around the two temples, the rustling sound became clearer.
Tang Sanzang listened carefully, and as soon as he turned a corner, something suddenly stabbed out of the oblique thorn, and he subconsciously took a step back, and when he fixed his eyes, it turned out to be a pale yellow bamboo pole.
"Who are you?" A person slowly walked out of the corner, blocking Tang Sanzang's way.
Tang Sanzang looked at the man, wearing an old gray monk's robe, holding a bamboo broom in his hand, his beard and hair were all white, he looked not young, but he was quite energetic, and he was also looking at him.
"Poor monk Tang Sanzang, from the Tang Dynasty in the East Soil, went to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, passed through the treasure side, it was late, so he came to spend the night, I don't know what the master called?" Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and smiled.
