Chapter 115: Liyin Pavilion
After eating, we went to climb the mountain to see the reservoir according to the original plan.
Climbing in the snow is not a good choice, but the snow on the mountain road seems to have never been stepped on at all, so we still step on it very steadily, but there is no danger. Holding Xiao Fang's hand step by step in the snow is a bit of fun.
The mountains after the snow are covered in silver and are very beautiful. The snow is piled high on the trees here, and I don't know what kind of tree it is, but when the wind blows, it will fly down like snow. I figured that if I kicked in the past, I would be covered by the snow that fell down.
The mountain is not high, but the range is not small, and we spent most of our time winding along the mountain road rather than climbing up. I don't know how long we walked, but we just came to the side of the mountain facing the reservoir. This reservoir is huge, you can't see the edge from the mountain, it is as horizontal as a mirror, it is crystal clear, and it is even more beautiful and spectacular under the surrounding snow.
Xiao Fang said that the structure of this mountain does not have to go back, just follow the mountain road all the way, and you can go back to the place where you go up the mountain. We walked while watching, and almost slipped a few heels on the mountain road, so we honestly walked without looking at the scenery, and did not walk to see the scenery.
Suddenly, I saw a roof faintly in the dense trees, which looked like the roof of a single-eaves temple, which is usually a temple or something. I pointed over there and asked Xiao Fang, "Which is a monk's temple?"
Xiao Fang was not as tall as me, and stood on tiptoe to look: "I didn't see it." But I haven't seen any monk temples before. ”
"Let's go, go over and see, maybe it's some kind of monument." With that, we moved on. After a while, we saw this building clearly, it was not a big temple, only one courtyard and one house, and it was very dilapidated, like an ancient temple that had been around for a hundred years.
When we got closer, we saw that there was a plaque hanging under the lintel that was pressed by the snow as if it was about to fall off, and three big characters were written vertically on it: Liyin Pavilion.
I thought it would be a mountain temple or a temple like that, but I didn't expect it to be such a strange name. I thought about it again, the word pavilion seems to be only Tengwang Pavilion in my cognition, but how magnificent the Tengwang Pavilion is just by looking at the photos, I really don't know why this small house is called Pavilion.
I walked to the door and looked inside, and the snow in the yard was clean and untouched, and there should be no one living in this broken pavilion.
However, I saw a wooden bench under the house in this courtyard, which was probably used by passers-by to rest. I didn't feel anything, but when I saw this, I felt very tired.
I saw that the chair was still clean, so I said to Xiao Fang, "Why don't we go sit there for a while?"
She looked inside and said, "Sit there, aren't you afraid that the tiles on the house will fall and hit you?"
"You seem to be stupid too. We just moved it to a safe place and sat down. With that, I took Xiao Fang's hand and walked in, moved the bench to a place where there was still the sun, and tried it safely.
I wiped the surface of the bench with my sleeve and sat down with Xiao Fang in the direction of the sun. The feeling of basking in the sun on a cold day is so comfortable.
Xiao Fang leaned against me, I put my arm around her, and the fragrance of her hair wafted into my nose from time to time, making me feel refreshed.
"Hey, I'm hungry." I told Xiao Fang.
She turned to look at me, "You're such a pig, you're hungry so soon?"
"yes, there's nothing to eat."
"No, there's something to eat on this mountain."
"Why don't you give me a bite then?"
"Nasty! It's waiting for me here! I won't give it. She lowered her head as she spoke.
"Come on, come on."
"No, no, this place is like a ruined temple, it feels weird here."
"It's okay, I haven't seen anyone else on this mountain except us, what are you afraid of."
Xiao Fang no longer refused, and was embarrassed to accept my kiss.
"Amitabha, this is a pure place, the two donors should leave quickly."
Xiao Fang and I were both startled by this voice, and suddenly lost interest, looking around, but there was nothing, and we didn't know who was talking.
I looked at Xiao Fang, and she looked at me, obviously she had the same doubts as me. Could it be that in this place, who else can't cultivate in Qing?
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. But the voice was yang, not at all like the voice of a yin monster.
"Which friend might as well come out and talk." I was a little reluctant in my heart, so I asked.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock......" The sound of wooden fish beating sounded, and I followed the sound, and a young monk came out of the corner, although the robe he was wearing was indeed a little tattered, and he still had a bald head.
"The two donors are polite." As he spoke, the wooden fish in his hand stopped.
I looked the layman up and down, and when I was wondering, I suddenly noticed that he had walked through the snow without even a footprint.
I thought that the person who came was not good, so I quickly protected Xiao Fang with my body.
The layman didn't seem to see my reaction, and walked straight to us.
"Stop! Stay back. Are you human? I couldn't help but exclaim.
The layman proclaimed the Buddha's name and stood still, but he was still just standing on the snow, without any feeling of being trapped, "Of course I am a human being." ”
"Oh? Why is it a person who can float on the snow! ”
The layman fell into the snow in response, and two deep pits appeared under his feet: "From the heart."
I was confused by this strange guy, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Fang beside me. Instead, she patted me on the shoulder and motioned for me not to be so nervous.
She said to the layman, "I'm sorry master, we bothered you."
"It doesn't matter." He replied. This man made me uncomfortable talking, and he spoke expressionlessly, as if we owed him money.
"Is this the place where you practice?" Xiao Fang continued to ask.
"Exactly." He spat out two more words, and then stopped talking.
Xiao Fang looked at his attitude, and he didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was very embarrassing.
I asked him, "This master, why is this place called Liyin Pavilion?"
"What does the donor think?"
I didn't expect him to ask me a back, and I was speechless for a while.
"Leaving the sound...... It's probably the sound of the people, and the pavilion is the name of the building, I don't know if it's right. ”
"There is no right or wrong interpretation. For me, it's just a no-brainer from the world. ”
"Then why do you call it a pavilion?"
"I was here and I haven't changed."
I nodded, I really couldn't talk much with such a person, so I took Xiao Fang to go out. He only heard the sound of the wooden fish but gradually drifted away, and he seemed to be back in the room.
When I walked out of the way, I said to Xiao Fang, "What a strange layman. How do you think he can float in the air? ”
"Although this person is not very old, his skill cultivation is definitely high, and I can feel his internal strength."
"You mean, there really is such a kind of martial arts in the world that can tread snow without a trace?"
"Yes, it's not strange, it's you who are rare and weird." He grimaced at me.
I was about to say something, but the expression on Xiao Fang's face suddenly changed, from a cute look to a very painful look, and her body was still swaying and was about to fall to the ground.
I hurriedly hugged her, only to see blood flowing from the corners of her mouth, her brows furrowed so that she couldn't open her eyes, she should be in extreme pain.
"Xiao Fang, what's wrong with you!" I asked her anxiously, but I was only in a hurry, and she couldn't answer me.
I could only stare at her painful look, her appearance completely exceeded my cognition, a person who was so dignified, how could she suddenly be like this without being hit by a carriage or being stabbed with a knife? It is impossible for the disease of internal injuries to occur so suddenly.
So what just happened? Why did she suddenly do this? Could it be that the layman just now? There's no reason, why is he a Buddhist layman harming people?
"Xiao Fang, Xiao Fang!" I hugged her and kept shouting, I was so anxious to see her like this.
Suddenly, I remembered that I had to find someone to save her by shouting here. So I was about to carry Xiao Fang down the mountain, but as soon as I made a move, she grabbed me with one hand and shook her head fiercely.
"Go, go, you go......" she said with blood dripping from her mouth as she said in the loudest voice she could.
She obviously meant that she wanted me to leave her and go by myself, how could I possibly do that?
"I'll take you down the mountain! Let's go to the hospital! With that, I continued to carry her.
This time she was even more excited, literally pushing my hand, and kept shouting, "You go quickly!"
I was overwhelmed by her reaction, how could I leave her alone in this snowy mountain? But why did she let me go?
However, when I turned around to carry her again, I realized that our situation might be much worse than I thought.
Originally, there were only the two of us on the snowy mountain road, but at some point, a lot of people came silently, too many to count, all dressed in black, which looked very dazzling on the snow.
I don't know if these people are wearing any special masks, I just think their faces are blurry, at least I can't see what their expressions are. The person who took the lead looks like a very strong person in height and size, not to mention this group of people, it seems that he can't beat him alone.
I instinctively protected Xiao Fang behind me, watching the slowly approaching crowd vigilantly. If they get closer, maybe my choice is to pick up Xiao Fang and run back.
However, Xiao Fang leaned into my ear and said to me in an almost pleading voice with great difficulty: "He is my brother, he won't hurt me, you run away!"
I wondered, her brother? Xiao Fang had never told me before that he had an older brother who was so similar to the underworld, and I didn't expect that the future eldest brother would appear at such a strange and embarrassing time.
But in front of his eldest brother, he left his sister and ran away by himself, what is the matter? Also, why should I run, even if it's like "meeting my parents", I don't have to run.
However, while my mind was still spinning, the man who took the lead had already walked in front of me.
