Early the next morning, Mrs. Lu, accompanied by Lu Yun, left Luodu City from Dingding Gate.

The Longmen Grottoes are located on the cliffs on both sides of the Yishui River, and are only more than ten miles away from the city of Luodu. Lu Yun rode a horse and Mrs. Lu rode in a car, and arrived at the foot of Longmen Mountain in less than an hour.

With a water bladder on his back, an incense and candle offering for Mrs. Lu, and a retinue to watch the horses and vehicles, Lu Yun accompanied Mrs. Lu along the rugged stone steps to the many Buddha caves on the cliffs.

At this time, the sun was just three poles up, and the fiery red sun shone on the surface of the Yishui River, shining with thousands of golden lights.

Mrs. Lu's physical strength was very poor, and it took half an hour before she barely reached the halfway point of the mountain with Lu Yun's support. There are caves and Buddha caves everywhere, thousands of stone statues of Buddha in a simple style, looking down with pity, this pair of mother and son with different thoughts.

"Mother, take a break." Lu Yun untied the water bladder on his waist and handed it to Mrs. Lu, who was sweating profusely.

"No, wait until we get to the Guanyin Cave to rest together." Mrs. Lu's lips were white and cracked, but she didn't answer the water bladder handed by Lu Yun.

Lu Yun had no choice but to take a sip of his own and pin the water bladder to his waist again.

"It's not far ahead." Mrs. Lu put her hands on the pergola, looked around for a moment, and when she had eased up a little, she supported her knees with both hands, gritted her teeth and continued to climb upward.

Lu Yun followed behind, just in case she slipped under her feet and fell off the cliff, she would be speechless.

After another meal, I finally arrived at the Guanyin Cave in the mouth of Mrs. Lu. Before Gaozu destroyed the Buddha, there was originally a temple here, but now the building has been sparsely demolished, leaving only a black and swarthy cave, which is abruptly presented in front of the two.

"This is it, I used to be here when I was a kid." Mrs. Lu looked at the ruins at the entrance of the cave, and said sadly: "At that time, there was a mountain gate hall, and there was even a bell tower, which was very spectacular. ”

"With my father's current status, my mother is rebuilding this Guanyin Temple, and the Heavenly Master will not say anything." Lu Yun said with a smile. Although he was obsessed with Mrs. Lu and worshipping Buddha, he was quite unimpressed. But he was even more disgusted by the domineering style of the Heavenly Master's 'except me, everyone is different'.

Mrs. Lu was very moved when she heard this, and it took a while to stabilize her mind and say, "Let's go first and see how it is inside." ”

Lu Yun looked into the cave, and at this morning, the sun shone into the cave, and even the Bodhisattva statue inside could be seen clearly. He didn't light a torch, and followed Mrs. Lu into the Guanyin Cave, which was full of cobwebs and dust.

After entering, Lu Yun unburdened himself, took out two brooms, and cleaned up this cave that had not been set foot in for at least ten years.

He tied his mouth and nose with a square scarf and surveyed the cavern. I saw that this cave is the use of natural limestone karst cave, excavated out, there is a lotus caisson well on the top of the cave, the ground is horseshoe-shaped, the space has three zhang square, on the cave wall in the west, there is a statue of zhang Xu Gao.

As the cleaning progressed, the Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was holding a treasure vase, showed his true face with a calm expression and a calm demeanor.

。

After the meal, the light cleaning was over.

Lu Yun spread a yellow cloth on the ground again, placed the candlesticks and offerings he brought on the stone offering platform at the foot of Guanyin, and then shook the fire fold, lit a pair of treasure candles, and inserted them on the candlestick.

After doing all this, Lu Yun quietly stepped aside to watch Mrs. Lu burn incense and pray. In fact, he was going to go out and wait, but was stopped by Mrs. Lu, saying that he would also kowtow to the Bodhisattva later, and Lu Yun had to wait in the cave.

This was the first time he had seen Mrs. Lu worship Buddha with his own eyes. Sure enough, he is extremely pious and skilled. I saw that after holding the incense three times, she inserted the incense stick in the incense burner, and then retreated and knelt on the yellow cloth, chanting the words.

Lu Yun read poetry and books, although she didn't deliberately listen to it, but after a while, she could still hear that she was reading the "Mahayana Three Gatherings Confession Sutra".

Lu Yun couldn't help frowning slightly, didn't he come to rejoice and wish today? How did you come up with the Confession? To put it mildly, isn't this a donkey's lips against the horse's mouth?

But he just wants to settle the accounts quickly, and of course he won't care about this idle matter.

While thinking wildly, Lu Yun suddenly heard a slight sound of footsteps behind him, and he turned around suddenly, and saw a strange man of his own age, standing at the door of Guanyin Cave.

'Too careless...... Lu Yun couldn't help but curse himself secretly, if he remained vigilant, below the heavenly steps, no one would be able to quietly approach him within ten zhang. But the man didn't find him until he walked to the entrance of the cave, which was really undeserved.

"Honorable driver?" Lu Yun subconsciously took a step and stood between Mrs. Lu and the uninvited guest.

"The small surname is Lu, and the single name is a cloud character." The man's voice was hoarse, his vocal cords as if they had been hit by a file, and his words were shattering.

"Oh?" Lu Yun's heart sank, and he still pretended to be relaxed and said: "It's such a coincidence, we have the same name and surname." ”

"No, you are a fake Lu Yun, I am the real Lu Yun!" That person is naturally a dragon, he is planning to coax Mrs. Lu and deceive Lu Yun here, so naturally he has already set up a net.

Now that he is catching a turtle in an urn and has a chance to win, of course, he has to play with his prey to relieve the resentment that has gnawed at his heart day and night in the past eleven years.

"Oh, I see." Lu Yun suddenly realized. Now everything is clear, Mrs. Lu's coy behavior last night was not for reconciliation at all, but to trick herself into this hole.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Mrs. Lu expressionlessly and said, "It turns out that your son is not dead, congratulations." ”

Mrs. Lu took two steps back with a weak heart, not daring to look at Lu Yun, she shouted at Long'er: "What nonsense, hurry up......

"What's the hurry?" Long Er achieved his goal at this time, and he didn't have the good voice he had before towards Mrs. Lu. He slowly walked up to Lu Yun and punched Lu Yun in the lower abdomen. "The debts he owes me all these years, I want to get all the principal and interest back!"

Lu Yun wanted to use his skills to block, but he was shocked to find that the true element of his whole body was asleep, and no matter how he drove it, he couldn't lift the slightest strength.

With a 'bang', Lu Yun's lower abdomen was firm and ate Long'er's punch, and he fell to the ground holding his stomach at the time.

"Hahaha......" Long Er laughed arrogantly: "The first son of the dignified Xuan, why can't you even block the punch of me, a nobody?" ”

Lu Yun suddenly raised his head and looked at the incense sticks that were still burning in the incense burner, he knew that there must be something wrong with this thing.

The candle was brought from home, so naturally there would be no problem. Then only the incense sticks brought by Mrs. Lu remained.

When he lit the incense just now, Lu Yun actually subconsciously probed, but he didn't smell any abnormal smell, so he relaxed his vigilance. Unexpectedly, he still fell for it......

"This is the shadowless incense of the Taiping Dao's secret, didn't your concubine remind you?" Seeing Lu Yun looking at the incense stick, Long Er laughed arrogantly and kicked him again.
