Volume 1 Liao Zhai Lost Pearls Chapter 38 Lingyun Temple

With the fame of the Leshan Giant Buddha, Lingyun Mountain has long been a well-known Buddhist holy place in the world, and the Song Dynasty writer Su Shi once wrote:

Sheng is unwilling to seal the marquis of ten thousand households

I don't want to know Han Jingzhou

I wish to be born as Han Jiashou

When carrying wine, it is a Lingyun tour

Thinking about Lingyun Temple, it should be a prosperous place for incense, but the Qing Dynasty is shaky, the war is continuous, and this Buddhist pure land is also cold and dilapidated due to the lack of support from the imperial court and pilgrims.

Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing went up the mountain along the stone stairs, and at the gate of Lingyun Temple, a little monk was sweeping the steps. Why are you here? ”

The two reported their real names and asked him to help introduce the abbot of Shiran, but the little monk said: "The abbot master has a lot of troubles, and he doesn't meet guests at will, can the two of you make an appointment in advance?" ”

It seems that it is impossible to see the abbot directly, but if you make up a lie at will and fear that you will lose your credibility after being discovered, after thinking about it, Tian Yi should have come here in advance, Pu Zixuan said: "The two of us are the doctor invited by the boatman Tian Yi to treat his son's strange disease, Tian Yi and the abbot of Shiran have a deep friendship, and they should have come to your temple to meet the abbot last night, and I hope that the little master will go to report and let us meet." ”

These words are not lies, and they are reasonable, the little monk really already knew about Tian Yi, and hurriedly folded his hands and said: "I see, I will go to tell the abbot, please wait for a while." ”

The two of them waited outside the door to watch the scenery, only to see that this Lingyun Mountain is indeed a treasure of feng shui, from a high place, the confluence of the three rivers is in full view, the west side of the Dadu River is Leshan County, the south side is the Fengzhou Island, sure enough, the bird's-eye view is like a phoenix with wings, I can't help but sigh in my heart that this natural magic workmanship.

"Oops, not good!" Chen Shuqing suddenly said, "No, I made a mistake. If the abbot asks us how we know about the enchantment, how should we respond? If it weren't for the youkai, you wouldn't have felt that enchantment! ”

Pu Zixuan also came to his senses: "Yes, unless it is clear that one of the two of us is a monster, but this is really inappropriate, not good, not good, let's not go to see the abbot." ”

Just when the two of them were hesitating, the little monk came back again, made a gesture to invite the two of them into the door, and said: "The abbot of Shiran agrees with you, he is waiting for the two of you in the Daxiong Treasure Hall with the Lord Tian, please come with me." ”

At this point, the two of them had no choice but to bite the bullet, thinking about what problems they encountered, and then they could just respond casually.

After the little monk finished speaking, he silently led the two to a temple, only to see that the temple was a two-story building, the black tile of Zhumen, due to disrepair, part of the tile has fallen off or damaged, and there is a plaque hanging above the door, on which the book "Daxiong Treasure Palace" four strong characters.

When the little monk completed his task, he made a Buddhist salute and turned to leave.

Pu Zixuan and Chen Shuqing walked into the hall, only to see the statues of the four heavenly kings on both sides, and a golden Maitreya Buddha statue sitting on the high platform in the middle.

When Tian Yi saw the two, he was like seeing an old friend who had not seen him for many years, and he warmly got up to greet them. Pu Zixuan said: "The old man is injured, he should rest well, and there is no need to be polite." ”

Tian Yi said: "When the two of you come here, you must be in trouble, how can I lie down safely?" Come, let me introduce to you, this is the abbot master of Lingyun Temple. ”

The relieved abbot saluted and said: "Amitabha, last night the Tian donor came to the Evil Temple, and he has told the old man about the cause and effect of the matter. Alas, thinking that the child has evil spirits in his body, he has been to see it last year, but his deeds are still shallow, and he has no way to deal with it. The two donors have great powers, and they don't know where they can use their old men to come here? ”

"Master Abbot, I'm glad to be there." Pu Zixuan didn't know how to mention the matter of the enchantment, so he first mentioned the issue of arrow wounds, "That's right, Shuqing was injured by a dark arrow on the island today, and I heard that your temple has a healing elixir, so I came to ask the master to lend a hand." ”

Tian Yi was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Those officers and soldiers came to the door again? ”

Pu Zixuan had no choice but to say: "It's not, it's just that on the way to Black Wind Mountain, we were attacked by unknown people's secret arrows. ”

The relieved abbot asked, "Where is the injury?" Can you let the old man take a look? ”

"Well...... this" Pu Zixuan didn't know how to speak, Chen Shuqing was inconvenient to wear a placket in such cold weather in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so she changed into a simple cloth dress early. Buddhists pay attention to abstinence and abstinence, if Chen Shuqing wants to show a shoulder injury, he must take off his clothes, and this move in front of the monks in this Daxiong Hall is really hurtful.

The relieved abbot understood, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, if there is a difficulty, the old man will not look at it." After that, he took out a soft bottle from his sleeve: "This is the plaster 'Buddha Lingsan' developed by the temple, which is made of the poison of ice toad and wasp, and the essence of He Shou Wu in the deep mountains. ”

Pu Zixuan took the plaster and thanked Chen Shuqing repeatedly.

Tian Yi said: "I'm still worried, even if the injury is healed, but when the two of you return to the island, you will still encounter extremely dangerous things, if so, the old man would rather break Jinkun than go to the Black Wind Mountain to take such a big risk." ”

At this point, Pu Zixuan said: "The two of us came to see the abbot today to seek a good way to resolve the risk. In the morning, we walked to the foot of the Black Wind Mountain, and saw many trees with mysterious charms pasted on them, with Sanskrit written on them, presumably Buddhist things, I don't know if the abbot master can give some pointers. ”

The abbot was stunned for a moment and asked, "Dare to ask why Master Pu cares about this charm?" ”

It seems that those sealing talismans are really related to Lingyun Temple, so Pu Zixuan avoided the importance and said lightly: "This rune has mana, which is the same as my strength, but I don't know if it is an enemy or a friend, if we don't find out the origin first, we don't dare to go up the mountain rashly." ”

The relieved abbot was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that the two donors are also purification messengers?" ”

As soon as the words of the four specialties of "Purification Messenger" came out, Pu Zixuan was suddenly more surprised than the abbot, so he responded: "Since the abbot knows what the purification messenger and the monster say, I don't have to hide it, I have recently awakened the power of purification, so I dare to go up the mountain to eliminate the demon, as for Shuqing, she also has her special identity, if the master can give us guidance and solve problems, we are also willing to share all our experiences and doubts." ”

"Hehe, since Master Pu has the intention to get rid of demons, Lao Wei is naturally willing to tell the truth, but Chen Shizhu is injured, so it is not appropriate to delay, and please go to the backyard guest room to take medicine first, so that you can rest, and then Lao Ge will come to talk to the two in detail."

From the eyes of the relieved abbot, Pu Zixuan felt that he should want to have some in-depth conversations with the two, but it was inconvenient for Tian Yi to talk in detail because of Tian Yi. Tian Yi also understands the sophistication of human feelings, and said: "It is exactly, the matter of eliminating demons, the two of you can discuss with the master in the long run, please go to heal the wounds first." ”

After speaking, the abbot called another little monk, and asked the little monk to lead the two out of the back door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, through a courtyard, and took the two to a simple side room, and brought a basin of water to the two.

After the little monk left, Chen Shuqing slowly took off her shirt and showed her icy and jade back, only to see that the wound near her right shoulder had been coagulated by the azure blood. If he faced other women on weekdays, Pu Zixuan would definitely jokingly carry her to bed, but this familiar feeling came again, in the face of Chen Shuqing's jade body, he had feelings that could only be watched from a distance and could not be blasphemed, but he was afraid that any lustful act accidentally offended her, which would destroy the previous state of warmth.

"Xiao Jiu, can I start?" Pu Zixuan asked respectfully.

"What are you waiting for? You use me as a shield, but you have to be responsible for me. ”

Pu Zixuan smiled, then used a towel to clean the wound first, and then squeezed out the plaster and applied it to the wound. ”

Pu Zixuan said: "Pain is a good medicine, fight poison with poison." He continued to apply back and forth around her wound. Chen Shuqing gradually got used to the pain, held back and kept silent, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her neck.

If Pu Zixuan didn't know her identity and change to someone else, it would be hard to imagine that such a body was actually a monster.

After the medicine was applied, Chen Shuqing tore off a corner of her clothes, turned it into a bandage to bandage the wound, and went to bed to rest.

The bed was very narrow, and could only sleep one person, although Pu Zixuan was sleepy, he was embarrassed to go up and squeeze with Chen Shuqing, so he rested on the chair on the side, and then had nothing to do, so he simply went out to visit the temple backyard.

In the courtyard, twenty monks were practicing stick skills in four rows, and at the back of the team, Tian Jinkun was following the monks' tricks and strokes, and in the corridor next to him, Tian Yi was watching with a frown.

Tian Jinkun practiced well, Tian Yi saw Pu Zixuan first, and greeted him: "Hello Master Pu, how is Chen Shuqing's injury?" ”

Pu Zixuan also saluted: "Oh, it's good to take the medicine, just rest and rest, this is?" ”

Tian Yi said: "Alas, Jin Kun sighed that his kung fu was shallow, and he was powerless to fight against the officers and soldiers. Although I can't tell him about the things I remember, it's always a good thing to exercise, so I'm just here to accompany him. ”

Pu Zixuan looked at their father and son sympathetically, and a thought moved in his heart, and said: "There is another question I have to say, even if we can get rid of that monster and let him recover his memory, but the water that was spilled out of the words, Jinkun has already alarmed the government, and since then he has a case record, I am afraid that I will not be able to wash it away if I jump into the Yangtze River and the Yellow River in the future, even if I leave Leshan and escape for a while, I can't hide for a lifetime." I have an idea to help you both get out of this situation once and for all. It's just that this plan requires the cooperation of many parties, are you willing to act with me? ”

Tian Yi was worried about this matter, and when he heard it, he was surprised and delighted: "Oh? Master Pu has a clever plan, he needs the cooperation of the old decay, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Pu Zixuan put it in Tian Yi's ear and whispered, Tian Yi listened, like an enlightenment, and gratefully held Pu Zixuan's hand and said, "Good plan!" Good plan! Thank you so much Master Pu! ”
