Chapter 49: Liu Xu is missing

Dayun Temple was founded in the Northern Qi Wuping four years, the first name was Nanyang Temple, the first year of Sui Kaihuang changed its name to Changle Temple, Wu Zetian granted two years to change its name to Dayun Temple, it is one of the oldest famous temples in Qingzhou. The temple reflected in the green trees, the apricot yellow courtyard wall, the blue-gray temple ridge, and the pale green towering ancient trees all show the simplicity and elegance of the temple. Now the abbot of Dayun Temple, Master Jueming, is a monk who has attained the Tao with profound Buddhism, and the incense of Dayun Temple is extremely vigorous all year round.

Dayun Temple is located on the mountainside of Yunmen Mountain, limited by the terrain and occupies a small area, although the scale is not very large, but each hall is built magnificently.

When Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er walked into Dayun Temple, there were already many pilgrims in Dayun Temple who came to worship the Buddha.

Liu Xu accompanied Xu Jin'er to donate a lot of sesame oil money to the Hall of Merit, and then came to the Daxiong Treasure Hall to offer incense and make a vow. Seeing that Liu Xu and Xu Jin'er donated a lot of sesame oil, the monk warmly invited the two to listen to the scriptures in the Daxiong Hall after the two finished the incense. It turns out that today is the day when Dayun Temple holds a lecture once a month. Today, the abbot of Dayun Temple and the senior monks of various famous temples in Qingzhou preach together in the Daxiong Treasure Hall.

Xu Jin'er really wanted to listen to the lectures of the senior monks, but Liu Xu lacked interest in listening to the scriptures. So Liu Xu asked Xu Jin'er to listen to the scriptures with the guest monks. And it is rare for him to come to Yunmen Mountain, so he wants to continue to go to the top of Yunmen Mountain for a walk, and wait to come back and go down the mountain with Xu Jin'er.

Liu Xu came out of the Dayun Temple, climbed the stone stairs up, passed the Liuyi Pavilion built at the bend, and then passed the Xianyun Pavilion built in a wide place, walked up, passed through the Cloud Gate Cave, and came to the north of the mountain.

The north side of Yunmen Cave is a flat place. After passing through the Cloud Gate Cave, there is a cave on the west side, and the entrance of the cave is made of a stone to form a patio, and there are many cliff carvings on a stone wall on the east side.

When Liu Xu held a meeting in Qingzhou in his later life, he read the tourist brochure of Qingzhou and knew that there was a legend in this cave. It is said that this cave can lead to the immortal cave, there was a person named Li Qing during the opening of the Sui Dynasty, and he had to meet the immortals under this cave. (This story is recorded in the thirty-eighth volume of "Xingshi Hengyan" Li Daoist Dubu Cloud Gate, if you are interested, you can take a look)

The stone wall on the east side is famous for being engraved with the word "Shou", the largest cliff in China. It is said that this "longevity" word is the birthday of King Heng of Qingzhou during the Jiajing period, and it is engraved on this cliff in the north of Yunmen Cave. This "Shou" font structure is rigorous, dignified and generous, the word "Shou" is eight meters high, only the word "inch" below is more than two meters high, it is the most of the word "Shou" in China's cliff, and later generations have the saying that "people are not inches high". However, at this time, there are only cliff inscriptions carved by some literati and scholars on this stone wall.

Liu Xu followed the stone stairs on the north side of Yunmen Cave, continued to go up, and after walking through more than 100 stone stairs, he climbed to the top of Yunmen Mountain.

As soon as I went to the big cloud top, I felt that the autumn breeze was cool, and the fine sweat from the mountain suddenly turned into a trace of coolness.

The top of the big cloud is very broad, and there are Bixia Temple, Guandi Temple, Lingguan Temple, Zhiyi Hall, and the East and West Langfeng Pavilion.

There are many visitors in all the halls and pavilions on the big cloud top. In the crisp autumn weather, there are always people who come to play on Yunmen Mountain.

Liu Xu walked around the big cloud top, and finally came to the East Langfeng Pavilion, standing by the railing, the cool breeze was blowing, looking south, the scenery in Qingzhou City was in full view, and looking west, it was the camel mountain with the same name as Yunmen Mountain. Yunmen Mountain is flat, surrounded by low land, standing on the top of the mountain, the surrounding scene, unobstructed. Although Liu Xu didn't understand military affairs, he felt that if he attacked Qingzhou City, this Yunmen Mountain would also be a battleground.

Look around, but see the clouds and mist, through the hole, the pavilions on the top of the mountain on the rolling sea of clouds, like a fairyland. It is said that this fairyland of the sea of clouds is called the arch wall of Yunmen, which is one of the scenic spots of Qingzhou, and Yunmen Mountain is also named after it. Standing on the top of the mountain, looking at the sea of clouds from time to time, Liu Xu couldn't help but sigh secretly: Cloud Gate Wonderland is worthy of its name. The green space is accompanied by green mountains, and the scenery of Cloud Gate is really intoxicating and unforgettable.

Liu Xu had a visit in Dayunding, climbed high and overlooked, the autumn breeze was cool, and his mood was much better.

Liu Xu saw that his stay at the top of the mountain was not short, and he had a lot of fun today, so he decided to go down the mountain to Dayun Temple to meet Xu Jin'er.

Liu Xu walked down the stone steps and walked towards the mountainside Dayun Temple.

Walking on the way down the mountain, Liu Xu suddenly felt a sense of urgency. See the pines and cypresses on both sides of the stone steps, very dense, although there are people coming and going on the stone steps, but it is difficult to see among the pines and cypresses. Liu Xu went into the depths of the pine and cypress on the hillside to solve his personal problems.

Liu Xu, who had solved the problem, was just about to walk back, when he suddenly heard a few hurried footsteps, and Liu Xu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the sound of the sound.

As soon as Liu Xu turned his head, a dark wooden stick appeared in front of him, and smashed on his head with a "bang", Liu Xu's eyes couldn't help but go dark, and he fainted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the back mountain of Yunmen Mountain, several men hurriedly descended the mountain carrying a sack. There was a prepared carriage at the bottom of the mountain, and several men went down to the bottom of the mountain and threw the sacks onto the carriage.

Two of the men had met Su Qingpin in Balipo with hanging eyebrows and triangular eyes.

The big black man with hanging eyebrows, who seemed to be the leader of the men, said to a thin man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks next to him: "Sun San, you go to Qingzhou City to inform Gu Laosi of the Su Mansion, and say that the fat sheep has been tied, and let them go to our cottage to inspect the goods." ”

The thin man named Sun San said yes and was about to set off.

The big black man with triangular eyes called out to him and said, "Gu Laosi said that this fat sheep is not a person, so we agreed to take this transaction fifty times." But this kid of his mother is also a big celebrity in Qingzhou, and he has a good relationship with the Cui family, fifty times, this business master doesn't agree now. Make it clear to him, and let them come with a hundred taels of silver, or else they will not talk. ”

The eyebrow man also said: "Yes, just tell them so, you go!" ”

Sun San agreed, and went away. This thin man doesn't look strange, this foot is really not slow, and he will run far away in a while.

The eyebrow guest said: "Let's go, brothers, let's go back to the cottage." ”

The group climbed into the carriage and set off.

Triangle Eyes said to the eyebrow: "Big brother, this trip is tiring enough." Originally, it was very simple to tie a fat sheep, but I didn't expect to waste more than ten days of work. This kid is either in the wine shop or in the county school during the day every day, and he can't do it in this crowded place. He was left alone in the evening, and we couldn't get out of the city even after we were tied up. Today, I finally waited for him to get out of the city, and he was left alone, and he was finally done. I have to have a few drinks when I go back to the cottage, have a good time, big brother, don't stop me. ”

The eyebrow guest smiled: "All the brothers are tired of this trip, let's have a good drink when we go back." ”

A few men applauded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's past noon.

Xu Jin'er, who had listened to the lectures of the senior monks in Dayun Temple for a long time, couldn't help but be a little strange before Liu Xu came to look for her, and said in her heart: Could it be that Brother Xu saw that the scenery on the mountain was good, or met someone and stayed?

Xu Jin'er waited for another hour, but before Liu Xu could stand, she couldn't help but be a little irritable, and she was really a little impatient, so she went to the top of the mountain to look for Liu Xu.

Xu Jin'er is a person who practices martial arts, and her physical strength is very good, and she climbed to the top of the mountain after a while. But after looking around, I didn't see Liu Xu. Xu Jin'er went down the mountain to Dayun Temple to look for a circle, but still didn't see Liu Xu.

Xu Jin'er had some bad premonitions in her heart, and hurriedly went down the mountain to find Liu Xu in the city. Although Xu Jin'er felt that Liu Xu would not leave him and go back to the city alone, she still held on to her hope and rushed to the city, praying secretly in her heart: Maybe she would find Brother Xu when she got to the city.

Thanks to Xu Jin'er's perennial martial arts practice and good physical fitness, she rushed back to the city after a while. I first went to the winery to find Liu Xu but didn't see anyone, and then I went to the county school and didn't see anyone. When Xu Jin'er came to Liu Xu's courtyard and saw the closed door of Liu Xu's courtyard, she couldn't help but feel cold.

Xu Jin'er waited in front of Liu Xu's courtyard until evening, but did not wait for Liu Xu. Xu Jin'er couldn't help but feel: Maybe Brother Xu really had an accident!
