There is a very peculiar scenery in Phoenix, where most of the dogs do not bark and are not afraid of humans.

Walking through the street in the afternoon, you can see big dogs or small dogs crawling lazily on the stone road from time to time, and tourists ignore them when they pass by.

There were no cars in the ancient city, there were very few bicycles, and occasionally a rickshaw would come, and the dogs would just stand up slowly, and only walk a few steps before lying down again; It seems that they were born in Phoenix just to eat and rest.

Grandma Chen also has a little yellow dog, and since Zhu Tong and they have moved in, they have been lying behind the door, only getting up and moving for a while while eating.

Ye Er often touched it when playing cards, and then Zhu Tong also stretched out his hand, and the little yellow dog was still lying lazily, without a strange feeling, enjoying the comfort of being combed.

"Go and rest, it's been a day's journey, soak your feet." After Grandma Chen won the last game, she was in a good mood and pushed away the mahjong to close the door; In winter, tourists are scarce, and only four of their guests live in this family hotel.

When Zhu Tong returned to the room, Huang Hai was sleeping soundly, and the buzzing air conditioner made the temperature in the room a little higher than outside, so he took off his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and by the way, he changed the dog skin plaster given by his senior brother.

The wound recovered well, and I felt that my right arm could move normally, as long as the movements were not too intense, it should not be a big problem.

The bathroom in the guesthouse is small, with only showers in it and the temperature is low.

When Zhu Tong came out after rinsing, it was just when Ye'er pushed the door and came in; He wore only shorts and glasses, and he was full of heat.

Ye Er said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I'm here to send this." "I put some newly bought toiletries on the table and ran out with a red face.

Outside, Mei Lanting giggled, joked with Ye Er a few times, and said to Zhu Tong: "Doctor Li, I also want to go in and have a look, is it okay?" ”

Before Zhu Tong could speak, the door next door was already closed.

Huang Hai lifted the quilt and sat up, and Zhu Tong asked, "Have been pretending to be asleep?" ”

"Where did you sleep? Dr. Lee, you- I didn't expect you to look weak, but in fact you are full of strength. Injured shoulder? "There's something strange about the Yellow Sea.

The muscles on Zhu Tong's body are even and full, which is not normal for a doctor.

"I like to exercise, and as a TCM practitioner, I also practice some soft qigong. Acupuncture and massage are very laborious, and they are both family heirlooms. Zhu children's clothes pricked two stitches on the shoulders, put on underwear, and made a cup of tea for Huang Hai: "Continue to talk about your business?" It's okay for me to sprain this little bit. ”

Huang Hai's attention was successfully diverted, and he lit a cigarette: "Where did you go?" ”

"You've met another angel here." Zhu Tong reminded him.

"It's a flower." Huang Hai's eyes shone brightly.

"We hired a tour guide in Zhangjiajie, with dark skin and beautiful eyes, and the explanations along the way were also very detailed; However, Xiao Xiao is Ye Er's classmate Xiao Xinmei, she is more selfish. Seeing that there were other tour guides helping guests carry their luggage, we asked our guide to carry her bag. Xiao Xiao was afraid that things would be too expensive after entering the mountain, so she bought a lot of things, she usually didn't like to exercise, and she was tired before she had walked far.

"Our tour guide is not tall, very slender girl, called Flower, and loves to sing; She said she was just a tour guide, not a coolie. Later, I took Xiao Xiao's luggage. In this way, it is awkward along the way, and the unpleasantness that follows is inevitable. By the time he stayed at night, because of the power outage, Xiao Xiao had been accusing Huahua of what he said, and what he said was very difficult to hear. Blossom endured all the way, and finally broke out at this point. If it weren't for me and Ye Er's persuasion, the two would have to fight. Later, Huahua sat outside the door crying, and Xiao Xiao sat in the room crying. No way, I had to pay the tour guide fee, and said to the flower that we would take the car down the mountain to Phoenix early tomorrow morning.

"Huahua was very embarrassed, she didn't want my money, she said a lot, but in the end she accepted the money and left. After we arrived in Phoenix, Ye Er was immediately fascinated, she only liked this Tuojiang River and these stilted buildings; Xiao Xiao doesn't like to walk, she likes to go clubbing here. So, then I was traveling around here alone. On the third day of my arrival in Phoenix, I met a few friends at the bar and went with them to a Miao village in the mountains, and at the gate of the village, I saw a flower again. ”

Speaking of which, Huang Hai seemed to be immersed in his own world, and the word order began to be a little confused.

"Before entering the village, you have to drink, and there are songs, and there is a group of Miao girls in front of the door. I don't usually sing much, but my friends all sang a song and went in, and I was left alone. It was a flower that was making it difficult for me, and she kept pouring me wine, singing song after song, and she made me drink a bowl of wine every time she sang it. That day, the flower was wearing a seedling costume, and at first I didn't recognize her as a flower. The flowers in Zhangjiajie are black and black, and they wear ordinary clothes. But the one who made me drink the barricade wine was a white and beautiful Miao girl, and the silver jewelry on her head was shining, and I didn't expect her to be a flower at all.

"I drank eighteen bowls of wine before I was allowed to enter the stockade; After visiting the cottage, the friends who went with them went to the small river at the bottom of the mountain to row, and they didn't know how far they went. Blossom also took me on a small boat, she held the water with a penny, and there were only two of us on the boat. Dr. Lee, I've never seen anything like that, it was August, the shore was green grass and wildflowers, the water was very clear, the flowers were singing while holding the boat, and they kept smiling at me, asking me if I remember her?

Later, Huahua told me that the color of her face was dyed because she was afraid that others would have bad intentions towards her; She likes to live freely, likes to rush and play everywhere, and went to Zhangjiajie to be a wild tour guide because she quarreled with her mother. We talked a lot that day, the flowers were spinning in the mountains with the boat, and the Miao people by the river often talked to her, and before we knew it, it was getting late. It's like a dream, I completely forget that I want to go back to Phoenix, and I feel very relaxed with a flower, and there is no pressure at all. Later, we set up a campfire by the river, and Blossom caught a few fish, and we grilled fish and drank together, and so—later. ”

Huang Hai suddenly blushed and stopped talking, wishing Tong to imagine the situation at that time; On a summer night, two young people of the opposite sex camped in the mountains, drinking and singing; Even when he himself faced an alluring wildflower like a flower, he couldn't help but pick it.

After a while, Huang Hai returned to normal and continued: "I only returned to Phoenix City the next afternoon, and told Ye'er that I was late to play in the mountains. She didn't say anything, only a little unhappy, after eating together in the evening, Ye Er played cards and talked with Grandma Chen, Xiao Xiao pulled me to go clubbing outside, I didn't dare to run around anymore, so I slept first. It was still this room, and in the middle of the night a flower suddenly came, and she came in through the window, and we. For three days in a row, I went out to walk in the mountains with the flowers during the day, and the flowers came back in the middle of the night. She knew that Ye'er was my girlfriend, and said that Ye'er was more beautiful and educated than her, but she didn't look angry and jealous. Until the day we left Phoenix, she watched us from a distance, and I could see the flower crying. We took the bus to Jishou to catch the train, and an old woman came up on the way and sat next to Ye'er, and later I learned that it was the mother of the flower. ”

"Have you been to any special places? For example, caves. ”

"Dr. Li, the scenery in the mountains is really good. Blossom took me through many places, and she rowed a boat - there was a special place, we went to a butterfly cave. Huang Haibian said, his face still intoxicated.

"The cave is not very big, there is a waterhole in front of it, there is a peach forest, there are mountains all around, and there is only one waterway in and out. When the flowers took me, the hole was full of butterflies, and I was afraid that there were tens of thousands of them. ”

"Butterfly Cave." Zhu Tong asked, "Do you remember the way you went now?" ”

"I don't remember, I can't go by walking, I have to take a boat."

After Huang Hai finished speaking, Zhu Tong roughly sorted out the context of the matter, Huahua's mother was the one who raised Gu worms, she plotted against Ye Er for her daughter, but she didn't dare to cast Gu worms on Huang Hai, and Huang Hai, a prospective son-in-law, should also see it in her eyes and like it in her heart.

Most of the Miao men are not tall, but Huang Hai is tall and strong, much more decent than the young people nearby, and he is indeed likable.

"If you don't look at the background and let you choose, which one do you prefer to live with? If you put it all together, what would be your choice? Zhu Tong asked calmly, although it was a little cruel, but Huang Hai must choose now, this is a matter of life and death for Ye'er.

"I don't know myself, before Ye'er got sick, I thought I could forget a flower, but no. Now I'm just cruel to myself, if I wasn't too selfish, she wouldn't have to suffer such a sin. ”

"People are selfish." Zhu Tong comforted Huang Hai, "Everyone will make mistakes, and it is useless to regret it." ”

Saying that, Zhu Tong thought to himself: If it weren't for the intervention of Mother Flower, Huanghai would have been easier to choose.

Huang Hai was a policeman in the end, and after being confused, he returned to normal, and reason once again prevailed: "Doctor Li, my family will not accept a Miao woman as a daughter-in-law." Although the flower is beautiful, she only went to junior high school and did not go to school again, and in Shanghai, she could not find a space to survive at all. Our family doesn't really care about how much money she makes, it cares about something else, you know. For me, it's also very contradictory now, the flower is very cute, if there are no strings attached, I still like to be with Ye'er, it's just that I'm a little afraid of the flower's mother. ”

"I'm just a doctor, and I care about the health of my patients; I don't know about Gu worms, but I still have to tie the bell to solve the bell, as a man," Zhu Tong looked directly at the Yellow Sea and said slowly: "If Huahua's mother threatens Ye'er's life, will you choose to marry Huahua?" ”

Huang Hai bowed his head and was silent, and Zhu Tong patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, tomorrow you go to see a flower first, make an appointment for me, I want to see her mother, preferably the day after tomorrow." You just say that I have no ill intentions, and I have no intention of disturbing her world. Go to sleep, there's a time for everything to work out. ”

The lights in the room went out, and the two men lay down thinking about their own thoughts.

The day after tomorrow that Zhu Tong said is the time for the injury on his shoulder to heal; It is impossible to convince Huahua's mother to relieve Ye'er of Gu worms by relying on words alone, if Huang Hai does not marry Huahua, the only way is to compare strength.

Huahua's mother should be a wizard, and the last thing that Zhumen disciples are afraid of is to compete with wizards, and it is their job to exorcise evil spirits.

Early in the morning, Zhu Tong was surprised by the strange "Bang! Boom! Boom! I woke up, got up and opened the window to see the misty river with water vapor, a small boat wandering back and forth, and a group of young women washing clothes on the stone slabs by the Tuojiang River on the opposite side.

The Yellow Sea is still asleep, Zhu Tong looks at the distance from the window to the river, there is always five meters; Imagine the flowers silently going up and down in the middle of the night, as a girl, that infatuation is really embarrassing.

Ye Er also got up, and was picking rice with Grandma Chen in the hallway, and asked what was going on, Boss Chen got up very early every day, and he was going to Nanhua Mountain for morning exercises. Coming down from Nanhua Mountain, he was sweeping the stone road in front of the door with a broom.

"——Nowadays, it is rare to see people who release Gu and raise Gu, I heard about it when I was young." Grandma Chen chattered, and Zhu Tong understood after listening to a few words, she didn't know that world. Looking at her expression, she had long been accustomed to the mysteries of this land, and the ghosts and witches were not much different from snakes and insects for the people who had lived here for generations.

After breakfast, Zhu Tong and Huang Hai were together, and said to Ye'er that they were going around to see if there were any clues.

Ye Er looked at the two of them with some suspicion, saying that she was here to treat herself, how could two big men run by themselves? Mei Lanting went up to Nanhua Mountain with Uncle Chen in the morning, and now he hasn't come back yet, Zhu Tong told Ye Er to wait for Miss Mei, pull up the Yellow Sea and walk out of the inn, walk through the alley, and go up to the Hongqiao.

Huanghai rented a car and went into the mountain to find a flower, and Zhu Tong walked towards the Tianwang Temple in a leisurely manner.

It is also this early morning, a hundred miles southwest of Phoenix, the red cloud golden top of Fanjing Mountain, the bamboo Taoist priest and the horse stand on the cliff at night, watching the sea of clouds and looking at the rising sun, like a fairy among the people.

There are many monasteries in Fanjing Mountain, a famous Buddhist mountain, although many of them have collapsed and been abandoned, but the red cloud golden dome is the place where devout Buddhist believers yearn for.

The red cloud golden top is full of clouds and mist all the year round, and the purple gas rises, at this time, the sun just breaks through the clouds, the light is everywhere, and the golden top is golden in an instant.

On the pinnacle of only a few tens of square meters in total, there are two ancient temples: on the left, there is the Shakyamuni Hall, which is dedicated to the Buddha Shakyamuni Buddha; On the right is the Maitreya Hall, dedicated to Maitreya Buddha. Separated by the two halls is the Golden Dao Gorge, located in the middle of the Golden Dome, 100 meters deep, and the narrowest point is less than three feet. The gorge is connected by three flying bridges, and the peak is the most famous "Tianxian Bridge".

Worshipping Shakya and then worshipping Maitreya is the wish of good men and women. Now it is a cold winter, only the two of them on the golden roof, but they are not here to worship the Buddha, standing on the Tianxian Bridge to watch the sea of clouds on the golden summit.

The bell rang in the deep canyon, and three monks turned around at the bottom of the mountain, all wearing red robes.

The one in the middle has a ruddy complexion and is relaxed, with a steady walk and a Buddhist bead in his hand, and he can't see how old he is; After stepping onto the Red Cloud Golden Peak, a pair of clear eyes matched with the Bamboo Daoist.

"The Living Buddha of Soonda is fine, and the Bamboo Taoist priest came to visit rashly, disturbing the purity of the Living Buddha." The bamboo Taoist priest spoke first, and a hint of surprise flashed on his handsome face.

"Amitabha, the bamboo Taoist priest is polite, the inch above the golden dome, it is rude for me to see the true face of the first person in the Taoist Sect when Suo Weng arrives here." Although the Living Buddha of Suo Wenda remained silent, the shock in his heart was only afraid that he was still above the bamboo Taoist priest, and it was very rare for him to realize the two people on the golden top until he was close to him.

The Living Buddha of Soonda comes from the Weizang Butian Temple, and it is said that 200 years ago, the four golden bodies of the Living Buddha of Nyingbagu won the glory of the Golden Buddha; Thirty years ago, at the age of nineteen, Soonda had cultivated the fifth seal of the Seven Seals of the Illusory Body, and was known as the first person to practice tantric practice.

Thirty years have passed, and the Living Buddha of Soonda has rarely made a move, and no one knows how high his cultivation is now.

"I wonder if the living Buddha is here to visit the Shakya Hall or the Maitreya Hall?" This time, it was the master of Chinese painting Ma Ye who spoke, and the sentence he asked was very mysterious.

Although the two temples on the golden top of the red cloud are not big, they represent the two schools of Buddhism and Zen, and the living Buddha of Suo Wenda did not know what he thought before, but now he is not pleasing to answer it.

The Living Buddha Soonda was originally a disciple of Tantric Buddhism, and he should worship the Buddha Hall first, but now he is cooperating with the Golden Buddha of Zen Buddhism, so it stands to reason that he should worship the Maitreya Hall first.

"All Buddhas are empty, as long as you are sincere, which one to worship first is the same. My Buddha's mind, how can ordinary people measure it? The Taoist chief's question is a mundane thing. "The Living Buddha of Soonda is not simple, and his answer is not leaky.

Ma Ye shook his head and said: "The living Buddha is wrong, one, I am a layman, Ma Ye and Ma Qianli, and I can't be called a Taoist; Second, although Shakya and Maitreya are both called Buddhas, there is a saying here. Look at this Golden Dao Gorge, it is said that it is because Shakya Buddha and Maitreya Buddha fought to cultivate the Tao on this golden top, and then there was a dispute, and it went straight to the top of the Yunxiao Treasure Palace; The Jade Emperor ruled fairly, and was famous for his golden sword slashing through the golden top of the red cloud. They don't fight for this pillar of incense, how can it be said by future generations? ”

Ma Ye is making a mistake, secretly elevating the identity of Taoism with folklore, and satirizing the contradiction between Zen Buddhism and Tantra, with the aim of breaking the purity of the Buddha's heart of the living Buddha.

He knew that although the top of the red cloud golden top was shining brightly, it was extremely dangerous. The bamboo Taoist priest and Ma Ye came here to block the road from the Living Buddha of Suo Wenda to Phoenix, and the two sides could do it at any time.

Although there is usually harmony between the first-grade Golden Buddha and the second-grade Taoist Sect, since the bamboo Taoist priest appears here, it proves that the Taoist Sect knows very well that the Golden Buddha wants to use the hand of the fourth-grade red fire to deal with the seven-grade Zhumen; This is a statement, which means that the Dao Sect has intervened in this dispute.

The living Buddha of Soonda looked at the sea of clouds, and shouted three times, which made the clouds roll: "Buddhism does not talk about respect and humility, and Soonda uses this auspicious cloud to worship the Buddha, and the Buddha shines all over the world." It's just that the bamboo master is really an accident here, and it is also for the Buddha? ”

Sure enough, the clouds and mist around the red cloud golden dome gathered around the two halls, and the sunlight shone in, and it was sacred.

"The rivers and lakes have just improved, and the eight factions should support each other; The little Taoist priest hoped that the living Buddha would not go to the pool of mixed water in Phoenix City in the spirit of generosity and compassion. The bamboo Taoist priest smiled innocently, and spoke softly to the point.

Whoever faces the bamboo Taoist priest will think that he is a yellow-mouthed little Taoist priest, but the living Buddha Suounda was attracted by his demeanor from the first time he saw the bamboo Taoist priest; With the brilliant vision of the Living Buddha Soonda, how could he be deceived by the skin of the bamboo Taoist priest? What surprised him was that the cultivation of the bamboo Taoist priest had gone from complex to simple, and it was not at all the style of the merry Taoist priest who was rumored to be in the outside world.

But now he can't describe how much he thinks, since the bamboo Taoist appeared at the Red Cloud Golden Peak, it means that it is no secret that he came to the east. Three months ago, the Living Buddha of Soonda went to Fanjing Mountain to cultivate, and observed the heavenly machine every day in the sea of clouds and the rising sun on the top of the red clouds; Soonda's practice of the Secret Seal Wheel is an ascetic technique that challenges the limits of the body, and his Illusion Seal is the only way to achieve the ladder of advancement between life and death when facing desperate situations and clever opponents.

For more than ten years, in order to find an opponent who can defeat him, the Living Buddha has traveled all over southern Tibet and northern Tibet, and has traveled to study outside the snow-capped mountains, and has also retreated and practiced penance on the top of the snow-capped mountains.

This time I came to the east, although it was to fulfill the agreement between Butian Temple and Golden Buddha Temple, but also to find a clever opponent to cite his own wheel, whether it was a Taoist master Zhu Taoist, or a mysterious predecessor of Zhumen, Suo Wenda Living Buddha was eager for a while.

In front of the opponent, the Living Buddha of Suo Wenda secretly recited the Buddha, put aside the distracting thoughts in front of him, and said to the bamboo Taoist: "There is a bamboo Taoist priest who comes forward, and the trip of Sowenda Phoenix will stop here, how about it?" ”

"The living Buddha is really a bodhisattva, and the little Taoist priest has thanked him." The bamboo Taoist priest bowed on the Tianxian Bridge, extremely pious, but when he got up, he saw that the living Buddha of Suo Wenda was also holding hands to salute.

"Don't dare to be a bamboo Taoist gift, although Soonda promised not to go to Phoenix, but he reluctantly asked Brother Dao to fulfill it. Thirty years ago, after Sounda comprehended the Phantom Body Seal in the Eagle Cloud Snow Mountain, he had traveled to the Western Regions, India, and Nijin, only looking for a verifiable magic mirror; Maybe Soonda didn't practice enough, and he didn't meet a happy opponent. This time, I have heard that the bamboo Taoist priest has studied the Tai Chi formation for a long time before coming to the east, and today I will ask the Taoist brother to complete the little monk with an ice heart. ”

After the Living Buddha of Soonda finished speaking, he bowed down solemnly in his Dharma robe, and then looked at the bamboo Taoist priest with anticipation.

Ma Ye cried out in his heart, if the Living Buddha of Soonda was a powerful man, maybe it would be better; But now people first happily agreed not to come forward for a product of the Golden Buddha, and then asked the bamboo Taoist priest to do his sealing mirror, the attitude is frank and unpretentious, if the bamboo Taoist priest agrees to his request, only the momentum will suffer a big loss.

The Taoist mind method pays attention to the preemptive strike, and its fundamental thing is to consider the opponent's mental nature in the moves; The more vicious the opponent, the stronger the counterattack encountered. But when encountering an opponent like Suo Wenda who seeks Taoism with martial arts, he will inevitably not be able to arouse the fighting spirit of the bamboo Taoist, nor will he be able to exert the true success of the Tai Chi formation to drive away evil and help the right.

The bamboo Taoist red lips stretched lightly and smiled, and took out a half-foot-and-a-half bamboo knife from his waist: "Since the living Buddha is generous, it is hypocritical for the little Taoist priest to shirk it, please advise." ”

The half-foot-and-a-half bamboo knife is emerald green and crystalline, swaying back and forth three times in the morning glow of the red cloud and golden top, and the water-like green glow ripples slowly flow away from the blade, and the surrounding scenery is faintly shaking and shaking.

"The little Taoist priest is the most unproductive, since he was a child, he likes the casualness of the landscape, and now there are only eight and a half mountain water knife techniques that can still be on the table. This is the first form: water and sky are one color. Please advise the Living Buddha. After the bamboo Taoist priest finished speaking, the half-footed bamboo knife just circled, and the green glow ripples swayed into the air, holding the entire red cloud gold in the water and sky.

The bamboo Taoist priest changed his previous habit of preemptively, and the sleeves of the living Buddha's robe were stretched, his left hand was like a wheel, and his right hand was like a drum, and he shouted: "My heart is like a diamond, and I don't abandon all desires." Om, Mm, Horn, Boom! ”

When Ma Ye and the two disciples of the Living Buddha of Sounda took out the sword, they could no longer resist the green light ripples on the red cloud and golden top, and they each retreated to the side.

As soon as the six-character proverb of the Living Buddha of Soonda came out, it was like a boulder coming out of the sky, and it smashed into the ripples of Qinghui.

Ma Ye was also shocked by the proverbs, and when he opened his eyes when his mind calmed down, he was shocked: the figure of the living Buddha of Soonda could no longer be found on the golden top of the red cloud.

"The second type, flowing clouds." The bamboo Taoist priest wielded a half-ruler bamboo knife and hung it obliquely upward.

The clouds on the golden top of the red cloud rolled, and the green glow ripples gathered at the top of the half-foot-long bamboo knife, condensing a cool light shield.

Only then did Ma Ye see that half of the body of the Living Buddha of Sounda was shrouded in turbulent clouds, flying in the air like a god.

Drink "Bodhi"; The living Buddha's right hand makes a lotus seal, and it strikes out lightly.
