Chapter 36 Zhu Rongzhu

[The book continues from the above, the last book said that the dragon locker's Miaoyu Miaole is not a big deal, and after waking up, he told Mu Qingming a lot of clues, and mentioned that Kyaukyun is still alive. The North and South Protectors of the Immortal Dao kidnapped him, directly asking Mu Qingming to save Kyaukyun, and the purpose of coming at Mu Qingming was very obvious. And the protector of the Immortal Dao, after eating, drinking, and having fun for a day, rushed to the peaceful Fahua Temple. At a distance, the East Protector discovered that the grotto contained the aura of fire. The East and West Protectors were in the nearby mountains and forests, and only after it was completely dark did they go to the grottoes of Fahua Temple. The East Protector followed the West Protector and went directly to the cliff in the east. And the Western Protector seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and went straight to one of the caves. 】

Flames licked at the red-burned wood of the stove.

In the chimney of the small courtyard of the Mu family, wisps of cooking smoke also rose when the sunset was in the sky.

The dinner of the Mu family was not delayed because of Kyaukyun's kidnapping. Anyway, if you don't eat, you won't be able to change back to Kyaukyun, and this dinner will still go on as usual.

Mu Qingming, who was sitting at the door of the stove, was looking at the stove in a daze.

And the flames reddened his eyes, illuminating the anger that lingered in his eyes.

Today, he skipped work directly, but if he didn't care, the Qi family wouldn't dig into it and wouldn't blame him; The key is that the disciple was kidnapped and two friends were injured, Mu Qingming really couldn't swallow this evil breath.

Mu Qingming's unquenchable anger comes from this.

He was so angry that he still kept some sanity, and he was secretly thinking in his heart that when he went to save Jiaoyun like this three days later, he would teach the two resurrected demons a good lesson.

According to what Miaole, who had rested for a long time in the afternoon, the demon also proposed before Miaole and Miaoyu were about to fall unconscious, to exchange for Kyaukyun and let Mu Qingming go to the Haigeng Dam and duel with the other party.

If Mu Qingming wins, he can take Kyaukyun away, and if he loses, the demon will kill Kyaukyun.

However, the other party can say this, it seems that he is still curious about Mu Qingming's ability, but it seems that there is some ulterior motive hidden in it.

It's just that Mu Qingming also knows that he can't lose this battle. Winning or losing determines a life, he must be serious, and he must also be mentally motivated.

Standing by the stove, Mo Han, who was stir-frying vegetables with a long handle spatula, looked at her husband after stir-frying a dish and putting it on a plate.

The fragrance of the vegetables was overflowing, and after Mo Han saw Mu Qing thinking about something in a daze, he asked, "What do you think?" Want to plan? ”。

"Hmm." Mu Qingming, who nodded in a daze, recovered from his stunned and raised his eyes to look at Mo Han.

"Don't worry, I'll go with you then." Seeing that he was a little worried in his anger, Mo Han hurriedly said: "If you dare to kidnap my apprentice, no matter what kind of demons and monsters he is, he must be beaten." ”。

"I think it's better to go by yourself." Mu Qingming laughed dryly and rejected Mo Han's request.

It's not that he is very confident, but because he feels the danger and doesn't want his wife to follow him into danger, so he hesitates.

"Master, Jiaoyun is my junior sister, she has been kidnapped by someone, I have no reason to be indifferent, stay out of the matter, and count me as one." At the same time, Ah Hong, who had finished work, stood at the door, leaned against the door frame, and said in a sonorous voice: "I want to see which one has eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall and dares to touch my junior sister." ”。

When the words landed, Zhang Xiaosheng and Long Gu also walked over, stood behind Ah Hong, and said in unison: "There is still us." ”。

These disciples of Mu Qingming have no fear on their faces.

Their courage and determination to save Kyaukyun made Mo Han and Mu Qingming very pleased.

There are many things in this world that are more important than the level of Taoism, the size of the ability, and the number of thaumaturgical magic mastered, which Mu Qingming has always hoped to give to his apprentices.

Now, these stinky boys are learning pretty well.

At least in terms of unity and non-selfishness, his apprentice's performance today can still satisfy Mu Qingming.

"You see, the apprentices are so eager to try, shouldn't you, as a master, think about giving them a chance to perform when you think about your plan?" Mo Han also took the opportunity to help the disciples, and said to Mu Qingming: "They also need a chance to prove themselves." And they don't stay out of it, I'm a teacher, so can I hide? ”。

Mu Qingming didn't say anything, thought silently, and stuffed a piece of firewood into the stove.

The flames of the furnace rushed up, licking the wood, first blackening it, and then slowly burning it red.

"Okay." Mu Qing pondered for a long time, and when the firewood was completely wrapped in flames, he also felt that it was indeed not a good idea to pour cold water on the disciples at this time; So he smiled lightly and agreed: "I will take you into account, but if I bring you with me, everything will have to be done according to my plan." ”。

When the disciples heard this, they cheered and jumped out without being too busy......

The sun is setting, and the afterglow is dim.

Sheltering in the vicinity of the Hokyu Temple, he sat quietly in the nearby woods. The Dharma Protectors, who were not in a hurry to rush to the grotto, seemed to be hungry, and were eating cooked food and fruit brought from Anning Town in the woods with relish.

And the Western Protector was still drinking beautifully, burping a few times from time to time.

On the ground at the feet of the West Protector, there were already two more empty gourds, lying motionless on the ground.

The two pots of liquor were drunk by the Western Protector in a short period of time, but he was still unsatisfied and continued to drink.

His dead man's body didn't seem to feel drunk, and his face wasn't even red yet, let alone drunk.

Not even the body temperature rose, and the whole body was still cold and lifeless.

"West Protector, aren't you afraid that you will get drunk after a while if you drink like this?" The East Protector on the opposite side looked at the West Protector who was burping again, and after a flash of surprise on his face, he said when the smell of the bad wine was scattering: "That is, you have died once now, otherwise, with your drinking method, maybe you can experience what it means to be drunk and dream of death." ”。

The East Protector didn't expect that he would be able to see such a drunkard again.

"That's not bad, drunk and dreaming of death." Saying this, the Western Protector lay down on his back with his face facing the sky.

After finishing speaking, he held the mouth of the gourd tightly in his mouth, and after making it erect, he kept taking a sip and poured the mellow wine in the gourd into his stomach.

The East Protector smiled faintly, looked away, and looked towards the Grotto of Fahua Temple.

The woods were so dense that the Eastern Protector sitting on the ground couldn't see anything.

But he still didn't look away, and a curious look gradually appeared in his eyes.

He has also read some documents, this Fahua Temple was built in the Song Dynasty, is a relatively old building inside and outside the city of Kunming. All told, it and its nearby grottoes are older than the Ming Dynasty Jinma Biji Fang in the city, or the Qing Dynasty Longmen Grottoes on the West Mountain.

The grottoes of Fahua Temple are the second largest grotto group in central Yunnan.

And on the left side of the temple, after passing a sheep intestine path, you can see that in a niche on the cliff, there is a stone carving lying sleeping Buddha more than a zhang large, it seems to be carved on a whole piece of sand and rock. This is a large Song Dynasty relief, the posture is very natural, the right hand is placed under the ribs, with the hand on the pillow and the pillow on the pillow, and the side lying on a stone platform. It's like falling asleep alone. Among the books, this Buddha statue is the most recorded.

Such a large and delicate relief is rare in the stone carvings of central Yunnan. It is comparable to the famous reclining Buddha of the Reclining Buddha Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing.

And the sleeping Buddha is not actually a Buddhist monk. In the legend of Yunnan, this sculpture is commonly known as Chen Bo, also known as Mr. Guiguzi, a native of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Legend has it that he saw through the red dust and decided to retreat, so he traveled all over the world, and when he went to the mountains of Anning Fahua Temple, he saw that the scenery here was very beautiful and elegant, so he chose to sleep here. So, there is this stone carving.

Other sources also record that there is a steep mountain path on the upper right side of the Sleeping Buddha. Climb more than a dozen small stone ridges, that is, Yuwang stele. The stele is in a long length of more than two feet, carved with tadpole text on the gantry rock, and has the Ming Dynasty writer, gold and stone scholar Yang Shen wrote Xia Yu's handwriting commentary. The calligraphy is neat and free, after hundreds of years, the handwriting on the tablet is vaguely recognizable.

And there is another story in the legend that is related to this stone tablet; It is said that the original place often rises Jiaojiao mountain floods, people in order to suppress the dragon, they carved the Yuwang tablet here, after the tablet is carved, there is no longer a dragon flood.

I don't know how many similar stories I heard when the East Protector was still alive.

It's just that what the East Protector is curious about is not the craftsmanship and legends here, but the fact that before, he clearly saw the fire aura circulating in the grotto.

It's also strange to say, this remote location, located in the deep mountains and old forests, in a grotto that is almost forgotten, can condense such a strong fire aura, what is the reason for the bottom down? The Eastern Protector couldn't figure it out for a while, and he was even more curious.

Moreover, when the Western Protector came here, he did not go to see the famous Lotus Evening Wonders, but stayed in the forest and waited for the arrival of the night, which made the Eastern Protector even more sure that the other party must have some purpose here.

It's just that the East Protector doesn't seem to have the intention of asking the West Protector the reason, but just quietly accompanies the West Protector to enjoy dinner in the forest, waiting for the night to fall, and also quietly waiting for the talkative West Protector, and takes the initiative to tell him what he is doing here?

Sunset finally darkens completely, and mist rises in the forest.

In the fog, the breeze blows, and the orchids and camellia in the forest exude a faint fragrance in the fog.

The Western Protector, who had drunk a gourd of wine to the point of dripping, finally got up from the ground, stood up, dusted off the dirt from his body, and said to the Eastern Protector in the darkness and mist: "Let's go, let's go and see what is in that grotto?" ”。

The East Protector, who was also well-fed and well-fed, had no objections, nodded and stood up, and followed the West Protector out of the forest slowly in the dark night.

"You also noticed it, this place can always gather the fire aura of the underground and gather it into the grotto." The Western Protector, who said this, had already walked out of the forest and headed in the direction of Fahua Temple.

The nodding East Protector followed.

After a while, they came to the temple.

There is a high platform built in front of the temple, there are more than ten stone steps on the side of the platform, the east and west protectors who climb the stone steps have seen the big mountain gate, there is a god platform at the gate, sit on the protector god, face the mountain, the back of the protector god is Wei Tuo. Both gods are bronze statues, and if it weren't for nightfall, they would have been golden.

At this time, the mountain gate has been closed, and the temple is quiet.

The high walls enclose everything in the monastery, so that the East and West Dharma Protectors cannot see anything. The monks in the courtyard all obeyed the law of life from sunrise to sunset, and as soon as the courtyard gate was closed, they were all resting, and naturally the monks could not know that the two great protectors of the Immortal Dao accompanied by the evening breeze stepped on this mountain and quietly passed in front of their courtyard gate.

The East Protector had no interest in everything in the temple, but silently followed the West Protector, turned a corner in front of the courtyard gate, and headed towards the right side of the temple.

He was also secretly sighing that he had no chance with the sleeping Buddha, and at the same time felt that in the soil under his feet, the aura of fire was getting stronger and stronger.

The closer you get to the vicinity of this grotto, the more the yang energy in the underground soil is so dense and pure and strong because of the fire aura that there is no yin qi or coldness in the vicinity.

Even if the mountain breeze is slightly cool, the air at night is cool. But it's still so warm around here; The coolness fell from the sky, and it was forced back by the fire aura underground, and it could no longer fall.

The place where the east and west protectors go is called the East Cliff by the locals.

The rocks here are very steep, and there are tall and slender cedar and green pines growing on the mountain, and the canopy is dense and unventilated. The ancient trees are towering to the sky, beautiful and straight. Ancient vines swirled around the mountains, and above the trunks of trees, their tips stretched out towards the rocks and the tops of the trees.

After crossing the intersection, the two Dharma Protectors stood in front of the rock wall.

When you look up at night, you can see that the caves on the red sandstone wall are all over it, which can be said to be the rock wall is like a cut, and the ancient caves are all over it. Looking closely, the east and west protectors have seen many carved stone Buddhas in the cave, with different forms and lifelike.

It's just that because of the long construction time and lack of maintenance, the stone carvings here are extremely easy to weathered sandstone, which has long been weathered at this time, and each statue is more or less hideous.

The two Dharma protectors carefully counted and found that there were three grottoes on the right side of this cliff and nineteen grottoes on the left, a total of 22 niches. Look at the two grottoes on the right, both of which are larger, slightly lower and side by side. There is a bodhisattva law in the carving, and the wear and tear has been very serious.

As for the nineteen caves on the left, the location is slightly higher, and there are eighteen Arhats carved inside, one carved and one cave. The grotto is divided into three layers, uneven, the highest floor has nine niches, the middle layer has six niches, and the lower layer has three niches.

In the lower right of this group of grottoes, there is a cave about four feet high, and a three-foot Bodhisattva is carved inside. The Eastern Protector looked at it carefully for a long time, and he didn't know what kind of Bodhisattva this was.

He looked around and found that the east-west mountain range was only a stream away from the western mountain.

If the Western Protectors are here to do something, then they can rush back to the West Mountain as soon as possible after completing their mission.

And the Western Protector has been staring at the middle grotto of the three lowest grottoes among the eighteen arhats.

The Eastern Protector noticed his actions, and upon closer inspection, he found that in this grotto, the aura of fire was the most vigorous.

All the fire aura in the Wandering Grotto originates here, and after a circle, it will return to this place.

"What is hidden in this arhat?" The East Protector, who was a little incomprehensible in curiosity, secretly thought so.

In the night breeze, the robe on the West Protector slowly cheered up, and he whispered to the East Protector in the dark night: "Zhu Rongzhu, it's really here." ”。

His eyes twinkled with excitement in the night.

The Western Protector seemed to have already guessed what treasures there was here, and at this time he was only verifying his conclusion, so he was even more excited.

"What beads?" After being stunned for a moment, the East Protector asked blankly.

In his memory, neither before his death nor in the ancient books he read after his resurrection, these three words were not mentioned.

The East Protector thought about it for a while, but still didn't know what this bead was? So, his inquiring gaze fell on the West Protector who was intently focused.

"Zhu Rongzhu." Before the East Protector spoke, the West Protector preemptively said: "Look at this stone carving is also made of local materials, carved from the cliff cliff, I am afraid that the person who created it did not expect that there is an ancient treasure Zhu Rongzhu buried in this soil." ”。
