Chapter 51: Qingning Awakens
In the last pavilion under the mountain gate of Leiming Temple, the fire monkey, Shuli and others looked at the pomp and circumstance of Leiming Temple to welcome the pilgrim donors, but they felt faintly uneasy, Shuli asked: "I don't know which noble person your temple is going to welcome today?"
Mellow monk said: "It is a big official in Leixing Town, he was the richest man in Leixing Town, and then donated an official position in Mangnan County, and now he has returned to his hometown, because the old house is close to the temple, so he specially sent someone to tell him that he wants to donate incense to the temple, and today the old man will come to the temple." ”
Shuli said: "In this case, wouldn't it be too bothersome for us to wait?"
The mellow monk smiled: "No, no, although the temple is poorly built, there are still a few guest rooms, please rest assured that you can stay." ”
The mellow monk rolled his eyes, and then spoke: "The little monk saw that the senior brothers and sisters were waiting with me to go up the mountain, and the speed was not slow, but it was like a leisurely walk, and the cultivation was to get it! But how could such a cultivation allow this senior brother to be injured by a mere beast? The little monk was really puzzled. ”
Shuli's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yuanrun said that he laughed, I waited for small skills, which is not enough to worry about, but Senior Brother's spiritual power runs freely, and his body is vigorous, so he should be a master of Buddhist cultivation." This time he was in a hurry, and he was not very careful about the road conditions, and on the way, he was suddenly attacked by a wild beast that was good at stealth, and he was injured because he was unable to respond. ”
The mellow monk smiled, noncommittal.
After a few people stopped, they passed through the tall and golden hall, and worshiped the Buddha who heard the mellow monk say that it was a real gold sculpture, and then came to a courtyard.
The pines and cypresses in the courtyard are verdant, trimmed neatly, rows of exquisite and neat guest rooms, the corridor is painted with Buddha statues, painted Buddhist scriptures, cigarettes curling, and bells ringing, it is really a good place for meditation and cultivation.
Yifeng and Xiugu's eyes were straight, and the fire monkey kept chattering, praising "Big families, it's just different", chattering, inheriting the master's demeanor.
After the mellow monk had placed them, he took his leave to prepare for the reception.
The fire monkey brothers and sisters gathered in one room and put the Qingning monk on the bed. The monk Qingning is much better than before, after waking up at the foot of the mountain for a while, it must be the blood of Lu Shu that played a role, the complexion on his face is much better, and the book ceremony also carefully checked the pulse of the monk Qingning, and the pulse is gradually soothing, and it is already improving.
So the four of them prepared to rest, the fire monkey and Qing Ning were in the same room, he rested on the soft collapse, and the others went back to their rooms.
During this time, they fought with people and beasts, running for their lives, even though they were cultivators and relied on the exercises to absorb and operate spiritual power, but they were always in a tense state, running the exercises at full speed, whether it was physical or mental, no matter who could not afford to consume them.
When I woke up, it was already dark, the guest room was facing west, and the paper windows were warm and bright through the orange sunlight at dusk. He stretched, squeezing all his tiredness out of his body, feeling a sense of comfort and peace that he had never felt before.
However, his stomach is not restless, he really hasn't eaten well in the past two days, in Qingshan Temple, although he can't eat much good fasting, but three meals a day start on time, listening to the master's chatter and the senior brother and sister play together to eat fasting, and then start to practice all kinds of homework, the days are peaceful and fulfilling.
Thinking of this, he suddenly missed the master, who taught him many truths in the last stage of his life, saying that he was the light of Buddhism in the world, and let him take on the responsibility of saving the common people, which made him dizzy and unable to touch the edge.
During this period of time, under the protection of the second and fourth senior brothers, he was like a bird hiding under his wings. Although he often has to sacrifice his life to escape, he is always well protected by his senior brothers, and accompanied by his little sister, he has forgotten his identity as a Buddha, and he also feels that such an arrangement is not a bad thing.
Moreover, although he has encountered some resentful things along the way, he can't find a way to solve it now, so he can only do his best to protect the injured senior brother Qingning, let him get better, and let him implement the new rules of Buddhism, so that more people like farmer uncles and aunts can have land to cultivate and harvest, and no longer rely on others.
There's not much he can do.
At the same time, he also saw the prosperity of Qingping Town, the glory of Leiming Temple, and even the valley full of danger and vitality.
He couldn't figure it out.
He suddenly felt a little thirsty, there was a tea cup on the table in the guest room, he got up and poured a cup to drink, his whole body felt the aroma and sweet moisture of the tea, he subconsciously touched the conch on his chest.
This conch, which had a lot to do with him, was restored to the size of his thumb after the spiritual power was removed, and he put it in the Yingluo specially made for him by the little senior sister.
Although the fourth senior brother Shuli said that this is "seeing and hearing the Bodhisattva, with all kinds of incense, clothes, food, treasures, and jewels, and making offerings, the merits and benefits obtained are immeasurable." But he didn't think about it so much, he just felt that the golden and red rope Yingluo was as smart and beautiful as the little senior sister.
In the depths of his heart, he still hid a trace of fear of this magic conch, since the first time he saw it, the blood of so many beasts flowed into it and turned into gold liquid, which was terrifying enough, but he was still under the inexplicable call of the magic conch, and drank those blood condensed gold liquid.
This time, he caught Lu Shu's blood, and it also turned into gold liquid, and once again, under the inexplicable call of the conch, he was very eager to drink the gold liquid, this is Senior Brother Qingning's life-saving thing, how can he be so selfish!
But this inexplicable desire is not under his control, which makes him feel afraid.
Just as he was feeling mixed about his experiences over the past few days, there was a knock on the door.
"Yifeng, are you awake, come out and let's go to dinner together!" was the crisp voice of the little senior sister Xiugu.
When Yifeng thought of his little sister, he felt a warmth rise from the bottom of his heart, and he happily agreed and opened the door.
The little sister washed it, her black and smooth hair was combed into a bun, her small and beautiful face became more sassy and heroic, and her clothes were changed to gray and simple clothes, which were clean and neat, showing her agility and ability.
"Little Senior Sister, who are you?"
Yifeng was stunned, he had never seen the little senior sister dressed like this, in Qingshan Temple, the little senior sister was brought up by the grandmother under the mountain since she was a child, and she was all like a little girl. When she grew up, she has always been a familiar female pilgrim who often tailors her little sister and makes girl's clothes for daily wear.
In the gray, yellow and white plain color of Qingshan Temple, the little sister has always been like a fluttering butterfly, flying and shuttling all over Qingshan Temple all day long, which is a lively and beautiful scenery of Qingshan Temple.
Xiu Gu knocked on Yifeng's little head with staring eyes, and said, "It was the fourth senior brother who asked me to dress up like this, he said that a few of us are too conspicuous, let me dress up as a lay disciple, it will be better." So he went to Senior Brother Yuanrun and asked for some clothes for lay disciples for me to wear.
"Don't talk about this, Senior Brother Yuanrun was still afraid that we would be hungry and panicked, so he had already prepared a meal and sent it over together. Don't be stunned, let's go eat!" she said as she took her little hand and ran towards the fire monkey's room.
The orange-red light of the sunset chased behind them, the shadows of the two flew forward in the warm yellow afterglow, Yifeng felt the soft and silky palm of the little sister in his hand, felt the warmth of her palm, and looked back at the gorgeous sunset sunset shining behind them while running, he had an illusion in a trance, it seemed that he had really arrived in a fairyland somewhere, if there was Elysium, it must be like this!
Xiugu took Yifeng's hand and broke into the room of the fire monkey, and the fire monkey and Shuli were sitting at the table in the guest room.
The fire monkey looked at the two of them and scolded with a smile: "I really don't understand the rules, and I don't knock on the door." ”
Xiu Gu stuck out her tongue and sat down with a blushing face.
Shuli poured a cup of tea for the fire monkey, poured a cup for each of the two of them, shook his head and said, "Senior brother, you too, before you know the situation, you will start to heal Senior Brother Qingning, it is also a mess." ”
Yifeng glanced at the bed and found that Senior Brother Qingning was sitting on his knees, closing his eyes and recuperating, obviously conscious and concentrating on healing.
The fire monkey raised his eyebrows and said: "Where did I mess up, it doesn't work to drink the blood of Lu Shu, it must be condensed in the body, there is no catalysis, I started to instill spiritual power to help him catalyze, why not?"
Shuli smiled bitterly, and before he could speak, he found that Monk Qingning was sitting on the bed, his brows were tightly locked, his face was flushed, and he seemed to be unwell, so he hurriedly walked to the front of the collapse and asked softly, "Senior Brother Qingning, what's wrong with you?"
