Chapter 311: A Place of Retreat

Ji Ziyang was noncommittal to the conclusion that I said that the lover was not satisfied, and I looked at him with a puzzled look, and my heart was angry and funny. "So you just took me for Kaoru?" I asked.

"Yes, because of this bronze plate, only Kaoru can control it in the world, I didn't expect you to be able to take it down easily, it's really incredible." Ji Ziyang said.

"There are few incredible things in me, grandma has already decided that I am the real patriarch of some family, and I am a little respectful to me now, I really can't stand it." I complained, I was talking, grandma pushed the door and walked in, saw Ziyang was also there, nodded, Ji Ziyang too, nodded weakly, as a response.

"How's the practice?" Grandma asked, I nodded, and knocked again according to the method that Ji Ziyang taught me just now. Grandma didn't say it was right, she didn't say it was wrong, she just asked me to tap it over and over again. It wasn't until the fifth time that I nodded in satisfaction. "You shouldn't teach her shortcuts." Grandma blamed Ji Ziyang and said.

"She has talent, does she want to stay in this room and ponder this thing every day?" Ziyang said, "It's you, but you never told me that you have this thing." Ziyang said that the atmosphere in the wing room was a little tense, and if I was not careful, I might misfire, so I quickly interjected.

"Grandma, don't I have to practice this tomorrow?" I asked.

"No, but from tomorrow onwards, come to my room and play this rhythm five more times a night, so that I can remember it more firmly." Grandma said.

"That starts tomorrow. What am I going to study? I asked.

"You'll know when the time comes, and you'll find me in the cave behind the mountain tomorrow morning." Grandma said, I nodded and exited Grandma's room, and Ji Ziyang followed, but in the blink of an eye he disappeared again. I went back to my room, lay on the bed, and knew that Ziyang had recognized the wrong person, so the stone in my heart was put down, and I fell asleep groggy.

The next morning, I came to the cave behind the mountain, but my grandmother had not yet come. I walked in alone. The last time I was here, it was just a cursory glimpse, but now I can finally take a good look.

I haven't found it yet, but this natural cave is so magnificent that I can't describe how I feel. Everywhere there is a great view. Each has its own merits.

"The benefactor came so early." Goseon's voice sounded behind him.

"yes. I came here for retreat, and my grandmother asked me to come earlier, why is the little master so early? I said.

"My master is practicing in the innermost cave. I came up every day to bring him a meal, and I also hoped that the female benefactor would not come over to disturb my master. Goseon said.

"That's nature, I just see that this cave is beautiful, so I want to go around." I say.

"I've already sent food to the master, how about taking you on a tour?" Goseon said.

"Of course that's good." As I spoke, I followed Gozen and walked into the cave. Because this cave originally had no entrance, it was a hollow hole in the mountain, which was accidentally dug out by the temple, so the entrance to the cave was small, but the inside was very spacious, and even the villas with three or four floors were also installed.

This cave and the cave next to it are connected to each other, and the whole person is sideways and squirms for a minute or two before reaching the cave next door. The temperature inside the cave is slightly warmer than outside, and it can make people sweat in winter. The cave is resplendent with gold, as if you are in paradise on earth. The stone stalactites and stalagmites in the cave are dizzying. The colorful and bizarre natural scenery is really rare and incredible. In the innermost part of the cave, there are all kinds of colorful and wonderful stone flowers, which let me feast my eyes, and there are also stone curtains, stone flowers, and cloud basins abound.

"This is the stone mantle, this is the stone shield, this is the stalagmite......" Wu Shan told the story, explaining very professionally, but I rarely travel the mountains and rivers, and I don't know anything about them.

"Wushan, what is the difference between these and stone curtains and stone shields? A lot of them look the same. I asked.

"Of course it's different, you look at this stone mantle, it is due to the calcium carbonate in the seepage water along the cave wall or the inclined cave roof down to precipitate into layered accumulation, like a cloth curtain and get its name, can also be called a stone curtain or stone curtain. This is a stone shield, in which seepage water seeps out and precipitates at an angle along a crack and forms a shield-shaped deposit. Most of the time, stalactites or mantles are formed in the lower part of the shield surface. And then there is this, this is the stalagmite, which is named after the calcium carbonate deposits that grow upwards at the bottom of the cave, in the shape of bamboo shoots. The columnar accumulation formed by the connection of stalactites and stalagmites to each other is called a stone pillar. And this, doesn't it look like a coral in the sea? Goseon pointed to one place and said, I took a closer look and it was really true.

"Don't say it, it's really a bit like that." I say.

"This is a coral-like deposit, in which the calcium carbonate in the water droplets condenses after the water droplets from the dripping water and the splashes adhere to the cave wall or the surface of the stalagmite or stone mantle. There are also curly stones, which are stalactites that spiral or twist upwards. And this, which is my favorite, is called Stone Pearl, a calcium carbonate round-grained sediment formed in a drip pit in an underground river cave, also known as a cave bead or egg stone. ”

While listening to Wushan's endless explanations, I looked at those natural landscapes, which were colorful and gorgeous as far as the eye could see. Stone milk, stone pillars, stalagmites and so on such as crystal jade, dazzling. In some places, stalactites are like fresh bamboo shoots, and some are like swimming dragons. In some places, there are patches of colorful, crystal clear, curly stones. In some places, there are all kinds of stalactites, white and immaculate, like the Milky Way in the night sky.

I once read such a poem: "When Huangshan returns, I don't look at Yue, and there is no cave outside the Zhijin Cave." Lang Huan resort Yao Chi realm, the first belief that the heavenly palace is in the world". I guess if the author had been here, I'm afraid it would have been a new emotion.

"Goseon, this cave is so beautiful, what's its name?" I asked.

"Stone Cave." Goseon said.

"Stone caves? Isn't the name too casual? I said.

"The master said that the name is just a code name, and this cave is called the Stone Cave, and everyone in our temple calls it that. It was born in a stone, isn't it just a stone cave? Besides, we are not open to the public, they are all places that everyone uses to participate in meditation and enlightenment, so there is no need to come up with so many tricks. My master said that you can see Tai Chi Lake here, and it is a naturally formed mountain rock cave, so it is very aura, especially suitable for retreat. Goseon said.

"Don't make gimmicks, your words are more effective than what the salesman said. By the way, Gozen, I think how did you know so much about natural landscapes at such a young age? I think you're all on TV. I said.

"The whole Lin Shan Temple, my favorite is here, every stone here, as if there is a story, the master saw that I liked it very much, so I read a lot of geological books, I was not very literate at the time, the master taught me to look up the dictionary, little by little to understand." Wushan said proudly.

"Goseon, you're amazing. If you weren't a monk, what would you want to do when you grow up? I asked.

"I ...... I wanted to be a geologist, but I was going to stay in the temple for the rest of my life. Although the master said that when I grow up and reach the age of eighteen, he will allow me to go to the bottom of the mountain and allow me to return to the world, but I don't want to, so I would rather stay on this mountain and be a monk for the rest of my life. Goseon said very seriously.

"Why? What's so bad about Yamashita? I asked.

"Everything is good under the mountain, but there is no master, I was picked up by the master, I have lived here since I was a child, this is my home, if I don't stay here, isn't it like those who have a home and don't go back." Goseon said.

I don't know what to say, so I can only pat Gozen on the shoulder as a sign of comfort. At this time, an old monk came out of the innermost cave, he had a silver beard and silver eyebrows, a fairy wind and bones, light steps, and a serene demeanor. Hearing the footsteps, Wushan quickly got up and ran over, still shouting "Master." Master! ”

It seems that this is the host of Lingshan Temple, the master of Wushan. He saluted me, and I quickly returned the salute.

"Master, why did you get out of the customs so quickly, I thought it would take a few days." Goseon said happily.

"You send fragrant meals every day, even the Daluo Immortals are afraid that they will also go out of the customs." The host said kindly, "This female benefactor, is your grandfather okay?" Are you still healthy? "The host asked me.

"Grandfather? Do you know my grandma? I asked.

"Naturally, we are old friends, and your current appearance is quite similar to what your grandmother looked like when she was young." The host said.

"My grandmother...... She ......, "I was halfway through my sentence when a voice interrupted me.

"Thanks to the host, I'm alive and well." Grandma came from behind.

"Look at the donor's recent happy event, there is a smile between his eyebrows." Said the abbot.

"It's just a short matter for some parents, trivial and not worth mentioning." Grandma said.

"Haha, I'm getting older, and my appearance has changed, but my temper hasn't changed." Said the abbot.

"Grandma, do you know the abbot?" I asked.

"It's not just acquaintances, it's just old acquaintances. As I told you, when we were walking around to visit the graves, we were in time for a famine, and we were almost eaten alive by the people down the mountain. In the panic, I got separated from the others, ran into the mountains, and hid. It was the longest time I've been away from home, almost a year later. At that time, the old Yun family, as well as your grandfather, they all thought I was dead. By the time I came down the mountain, the famine had passed. And during the days I stayed on the mountain, it was the abbot who saved me. Grandma said movingly.

"It's not enough to worry about it, but it's also the favor of God, and the traffic in the mountains is blocked, and we are all self-sufficient, so we didn't encounter famine. Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and saving the donor is naturally fateful. The abbot said.

"Okay, after talking to the abbot for so long, it's time too." Grandma said, "Let's go, retreat!" (To be continued......)
