Chapter 297: Trace

Early the next morning, without waiting for Xu Xingkong to greet him, Lin Xiaofeng, who was staying in a nearby hotel, took the initiative to come to Xu's house for breakfast, which made Xu Xingkong's parents very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

He Shufen and Xu Jianjun's excitement made Xu Xingkong very helpless and a little worried, of course he also hoped that he could do a good thing with Lin Xiaofeng, but if this matter was not harmonious, his parents would be very disappointed, they really liked Lin Xiaofeng very much. Of course, this is also deliberately caused by Lin Xiaofeng, she is very understanding, but she usually doesn't deliberately cater to anyone, this time she curry favor with Xu Xingkong's parents, and immediately conquer the second elder.

In fact, Xu Xingkong did not ask Lin Xiaofeng to do this, whether Lin Xiaofeng did this out of politeness or something else is a little intriguing, of course, maybe this is just Xu Xingkong thinking too much.

After breakfast, Xu Xingkong finally snatched Lin Xiaofeng from his mother's hands, and the two hurriedly went out, saying that they were taking her around for sightseeing, but as soon as the two of them left the community, they took a taxi and went straight to the mountains in the north.

It is strange to say that the thing entrusted by Lu Tongda happened to be in the mountains not far from the small city, when he heard Lu Tongda talk about it, Xu Xingkong would inevitably have some suspicions, but Lu Tongda fooled him by coincidence, and Xu Xingkong didn't think much about it afterwards, and when he talked to Lin Xiaofeng on the road today, Xu Xingkong knew that he was too ignorant.

The thing entrusted by Lu Tongda is actually not difficult, that is, to go to a place called Xuankong Temple to find a monk, this monk is called Zen Master Kongfa, of course, as for whether this monk is no longer alive, Lu Tongda does not seem to think about it, he just entrusted Xu Xingkong to go to Xuankong Temple to retrieve an ancient medical book.

Of course, Xu Xingkong was very curious to ask about the reason for the matter, Lu Tongda told Xu Xingkong that he had a dispute with someone back then, and gambled on a precious medical book passed down by the master because of a medical problem, and he lost, so he agreed, when he felt that he had the ability in the future, he could go to this winner to compete, and if he won, he would be able to get back the medical book, of course, this winner is the empty law Zen master.

As for the items of the competition, they are not limited to medical books, they can be compared with spells or magic circles, or they can be compared with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Taoism and Zen theory, etc., as long as they can make the other party bow their heads and accept defeat.

Over the years, Lu Tongda has studied medical skills and studied hundreds of schools of thought, of course, the progress is not small, but people's energy is limited after all, so as time passes, Lu Tongda has less and less confidence in himself, until he met Xu Xingkong, and immediately discovered his magical talent in a certain aspect, he tried his best to make Xu Xingkong owe himself a favor, and wanted to wait until Xu Xingkong's strength was strong enough to win back his master's medical book, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon, far faster than he expected.

To get back to the point, the reason why Lin Xiaofeng thinks that Xu Xingkong is rare and strange is actually because of this wonderful Xuankong Temple.

I don't know when this Xuankong Temple appeared, and I don't know who was the first to spread the legend about the Xuankong Temple, but the legend about the Xuankong Temple seems to have appeared in the late Tang Dynasty at the earliest.

Perhaps Buddhism was in decline at that time, coupled with the advent of troubled times, many monks were hidden in the mountains and forests, and there were certainly not a few temples that moved into the deep mountains and Daze, but there were not many that could be passed down all the time, and a few of these were able to survive, and the vast majority of them have become famous Buddhist holy places, and the only exception seems to be the Xuankong Temple.

Practitioners like to travel through the deep mountains and Daze, and if they are lucky, they will encounter these hidden ancient temples, and Xuankong Temple is also one of them.

But the wonderful thing is that the Xuankong Temple does not seem to have a fixed location, every time you see the Xuankong Temple and the people who are associated with the Xuankong Temple, the Xuankong Temple is by no means the same place, but the ancient temple and the monks are the same, no matter what era of the legend, there will be the character of the empty Zen master.

At first, everyone thought it was a strange talk, but there was a famous man who had also met the Xuankong Temple twice, and he confirmed that the Xuankong Temple existed, and the Zen master of the empty law did exist, and the two encounters were also thousands of miles away from the south and the north, so the Xuankong Temple became famous, and many good people went to look for it, but they got nothing.

But every few years, there will definitely be news about Xuankong Temple, which shows that Xuankong Temple has been continuing its inheritance and is still moving its direction.

As for why the Xuankong Temple happened to appear near the small city where Xu Xingkong lived this time, it is more appropriate to say that the Xuankong Temple moved here to see Xu Xingkong, as for how the Xuankong Temple knew that Xu Xingkong was going to visit, then only the monks of the Xuankong Temple knew.

Lin Xiaofeng speculated that it was likely that the monk of this Xuankong Temple was proficient in divination, and he had Lu Tongda's fate in his hands, and Xu Xingkong came because of this thing, so he could calculate in advance what might happen in the future, so he came here early to wait, and informed Lu Tongda of this location in a timely manner.

Such a seemingly clueless thing became simple and clear in front of Lin Xiaofeng's clever mind, and now there is only one last question, how did the Xuankong Temple move? Could it really be suspended?

Regarding this point, Lin Xiaofeng was even more disdainful, because she didn't need to bother, countless good people had already speculated that it was likely that Xuankong Temple was a space of its own, just like the treasure lock demon tower of Yuzhai in Yushan, it was not the temple that was moving, but the monk who was moving!

As for the immortal Zen Master of the Void Method, it is easier to explain, in fact, the Zen Master of the Void Dharma is just a name, and the person who calls this name may not be the same.

Along the way, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng chatted about the strange things in the Xuankong Temple and other cultivation circles, and they didn't feel that time flew by, and when the sun rose in mid-air, they had already arrived near their destination.

Of course, the most around the mountain town are the mountains, where the mountains are one after the other, and the roads are looming through the mountains and forests, connecting the mountain village in front of you with the outside world.

This is not a place of interest, only a dilapidated small mountain village, the village is located in a small basin, due to the lack of arable land, coupled with the state to close the mountains and forests, the young people in the village have gone to work in the mountain town not far away, and there are only some old people and children left in the village, which looks very deserted and dilapidated.

The arrival of Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng attracted the attention of the whole village, especially the children who were bored to the point of going crazy, fortunately the older children all went to school, and only a few little ones with snot chased the two until the foot of the mountain.

Walking through the mountain village, along the mountain path that had grown grass, up the mountain and then down the mountain, down the mountain and up again, the road was completely gone, but it was not difficult for the two practitioners to follow in their footsteps.

The mountain forest is empty and quiet, only the footsteps and whispers of the two people, and the chirping of the elves in the mountain forest, the surrounding environment is picturesque, and the two of them are like walking through the legendary fairy mountain.

The two used to spend a lot of time alone, but only now Xu Xingkong has this subtle and strong feeling, as if only the two of them are left in the world, and he feels that the distance between himself and Lin Xiaofeng at this moment seems to have been reduced to the extreme, and there is no longer a trace of estrangement between the two, and they naturally become the only object of mutual dependence and trust.

This kind of warm feeling from the heart, which is natural, completely integrated from psychology to spirit, makes Xu Xingkong want to cry, in front of this simple, unreserved and absolutely empty simple feelings, the words "like" and "love" that have been used indiscriminately in the world have become very ridiculous.

That's right, it's dependence, when you believe and rely on each other wholeheartedly, and the other party is the only object that you rely on with all your heart, the bond between the two can no longer be separated.

Xu Xingkong, who had an epiphany of his feelings, felt that the whole person was transparent, which had nothing to do with the fresh air in the mountains and forests, nor did it have anything to do with the quiet and accessible environment, but only with his own state of mind.

Lin Xiao also seemed to feel the change in the man beside her, she glanced at it strangely, Xu Xingkong also looked back with a smile, the kind of clarity in his sight that was not cloudy and dusty, made Lin Xiaofeng taken aback, and at the same time, a strong joy surged in his heart, Xu Xingkong's eyes were an unreserved trust, and at that moment, she read it accurately and practically.

The joy in his heart was warm and sour, and it had been breeding, gradually filling Lin Xiaofeng's entire body, and even the heart that had felt Bingbing in the past had become warm and sour, and this wonderful feeling filled every cell in his body until it overflowed, emanating from the happy smile at the corner of his mouth into the air.

Xu Xingkong also smiled when he saw this, he could also read her feelings from Lin Xiaofeng's smile at the moment, he had no mustard in his heart, and he easily stepped on the non-existent mountain road, moving in a certain direction.

......

In fact, the location Xu Xingkong got is only a general direction, according to Lin Xiaofeng, that is, there is a fate to naturally see, so the cause of Xingzhi, that is, where it goes, walking and walking, it will naturally be seen, if you can't see it, then it is fate is not enough, and when you return to the end, go home.

Xu Xingkong doesn't care if he can meet Xuankong Temple now, he can figure out his mind today, think through his feelings for Lin Xiaofeng, break the knot in his heart, and let his state of mind step on a level, it is already a huge gain, and other things are not forced.

However, Xu Xingkong's fate must have arrived, and he didn't know how many mountain beams he had overcome, when Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng bypassed a ridge, an ancient temple located in the saddle of two mountains appeared in front of the two of them, and the two exchanged a knowing look, observed carefully for a while, and then walked towards the ancient temple.

Condescending overlook, this ancient temple is actually very small, the radius is only three or four hundred meters, there is only a main hall and a backyard, there is a small field in front of the main hall, paved with stones, surrounded by a mottled courtyard wall, there is an ancient pine in the corner of the wall.

There are two rows of side houses on the left and right of the backyard, a small pool in the middle, there is a linden tree by the pool, there is a well and a stone table under the tree, a few round stone benches, and some firewood is stacked against the wall, and the strange thing is that there is no back door in the backyard.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the temple gate along the mountain road that was almost flooded with grass, and there was a plaque hanging on the slightly narrow temple gate, on which the three big characters that had almost lost the color were 'Xuankong Temple'.

"Xiao Feng, it's really Xuankong Temple, since it's a fate to come to see you, why do you have to hide so deeply? It's really a bit of a pretending feeling!"

Standing in front of the gate, Xu Xingkong looked the ancient temple up and down, and didn't care about the big words, which made Lin Xiaofeng glare at him dissatisfied, but Xu Xingkong smiled disappreciatively.

Sure enough, before Xu Xingkong's words fell, there was a burst of footsteps and human voices from inside the temple gate.

"Amitabha, what the donor said is very reasonable, but if this ancient temple appears in a densely populated place out of thin air, doesn't the donor think it's weird?"

"Hey, yes, hehe, I didn't expect this stubble, the master is a Zen master of the empty law, my name is Xu Xingkong, entrusted by Lu Tongda Daoyou, I came to visit. ”

There was a thud behind the wooden dilapidated temple door, and then the old gate creaked and slowly opened to the sides, revealing a thin black monk in a gray monk's robe.

Seeing the two people outside the door, the old monk smiled kindly and said:

"Amitabha, the poor monk is empty, polite, the two donors have come from afar, please come in to serve tea. ”

"Lin Xiaofeng, a disciple of Yushan Yuzhai, Xu Xingkong visited the Zen master and disturbed. ”

Lin Xiaofeng also pulled Xu Xingkong to bow and reported his name, but the Zen master didn't seem to care about the identity background of the two, just smiled faintly and turned sideways:

"Two donors, please. (To be continued.) )
