Daylight is getting brighter.

There is an ancient temple at the foot of the final mountain, and the name of the temple is called Ancient Guanyin Temple.

It is said that the ancient Guanyin Temple has existed for thousands of years, and it is a veritable ancient temple with a long history.

In the morning, the quaint gate of the temple was slowly pushed open, and a young monk with a pale face and a delicate appearance, holding a broom, walked out slowly, and began to sweep the fallen leaves outside the temple gate.

After sweeping for a while, I saw that a string of sweat had appeared on the monk's forehead, and his face became more and more pale.

The outside of the temple was finally swept away.

Standing on the steps outside the temple, the beautiful monk holds a broom and looks at the top of the final mountain.

I heard that there was a saint on the top of the mountain last night, the golden light was full of gold, Lao Tzu rode a bull to the west, and recited the Tao Te Ching in his mouth.

It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to see it.

Although Lao Tzu is a Taoist person, if he can meet the immortal fate and seek the way to live, it is not impossible to worship the Taoist gate.

There is no difference between the Tao and the Buddha in his heart.

Xuyun sighed, thinking in his heart whether he could still go up the mountain at this time, and if he could, he would find an opportunity to go up the mountain during the day to take a look.

But there were a lot of vigilantes last night, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to go up the mountain at this time.

His stomach rang, and Xuyun shook his head and returned to the ancient temple behind him with a broom.

The ancient temple is not big, but the most eye-catching thing is the ancient tree in the temple.

An ancient ginkgo tree that has grown for thousands of years.

It is said that it is an ancient tree planted by Tang Taizong himself, which has witnessed the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, and has survived to this day, standing in the temple.

The ancient ginkgo tree stands majestically with lush foliage.

If it is autumn, when all the leaves of the ancient ginkgo tree are dyed yellow, the tree shakes, and the whole temple is covered with golden yellow inside and out.

The ancient ginkgo tree, which is full of yellow leaves, looks like a golden umbrella stretched out between heaven and earth from a distance.

Really, the city is full of golden armor!

Whenever the leaves are yellow in autumn, it is also the most lively time of the ancient Guanyin Temple.

Xuyun doesn't like autumn very much, because in autumn, the ancient temple, which is not big, will become very noisy.

Annoying.

Fortunately, there is still some time before the old leaves are yellow.

Xuyun entered the temple gate, put the broom behind the door, and as usual, looked up at the towering ancient tree, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards the kitchen.

However, as soon as he took a step, his steps stopped.

With his brows furrowed, Void Cloud took a step back, retreated to where he had been, and then looked up at the ancient tree again.

The foliage is luxuriant.

Sunlight shines through the gaps in the foliage.

Squinting, Xuyun looked at a spot in the ancient tree and moved closer.

Among the lush green leaves, it seems that a small white fruit grows.

Xuyun recognized the ginkgo fruit, the ancient ginkgo biloba.

After thousands of years, this ancient ginkgo tree often bears fruit, and Xuyun has even eaten a lot.

But the point is, it's not the season to hang fruit yet!

And he was in the temple every day, and he would see the ancient tree countless times every day, and yesterday, he had not seen this white fruit.

Grew overnight last night?

With a puzzled look in his eyes, Xuyun raised his neck and looked at it for a while, until his neck was sore, and he didn't see anything.

After thinking about it, he moved a wooden stool and picked up the broom behind the door.

Xuyun's physical strength was very poor, and he was already very tired after sweeping the ground, and now that he waved the broom, he could already feel his arms start to sore and tremble.

Fortunately, before he was exhausted, Ginkgo was beaten down.

didn't rush to pick up the ginkgo fruit, Xuyun hurriedly sat on the wooden bench just now, gasping for breath, and after sitting for a while, his pale face became a little lively.

Depending on the condition of the body, I am afraid it will not last long.

Covering his mouth and coughing twice, he felt his heartbeat calm down a bit, and Xuyun stood up with a broom.

Walk towards the ginkgo seeds.

The small one of the ginkgo is bigger than a coin, but fortunately, the eyes of the void cloud are good to find the ginkgo that has landed.

The ginkgo that landed on the ground was not damaged, and it was still round and white.

Xuyun found that the ginkgo in his hand seemed to be a little different.

He has been in the temple for two years, and he has eaten countless ginkgo seeds, and he is already very familiar with them.

At this time, there are slight differences between the ginkgo in his hand and the ginkgo he has eaten before.

The fruit body is glowing with a faint golden light, and the white stem is still dripping with bright green juice, and the whole white fruit exudes a fragrant taste.

Ginkgo seeds still have a fragrance?

Xuyun, who had eaten so many ginkgo fruits, also discovered for the first time that this fragrance made his already rumbling stomach even hungrier.

After thinking about it, Xuyun didn't bother to deal with the ginkgo fruit, he didn't care about its toxins, and directly smashed the core of the fruit open and ate the seeds and flesh inside.

The entrance is fragrant, and it is very crisp when you take a bite.

The small white nuts are very delicious and swallowed in one bite.

"Xuyun, what are you doing?" An old monk walked by.

Xuyun hurriedly said: "It's okay, I'm tired and take a break." ”

The old monk clasped his hands together and sighed:

"Amitabha, your health is getting worse and worse, otherwise you should go down the mountain and go to the hospital for treatment."

Xuyun bowed his head and said:

"Master don't worry, the world says that life and death have a fate, if you really die here, it is my life."

Listening to Xuyun's words, the old monk sighed, shook his head, and turned to leave.

When the old monk walked away, Xuyun raised his head and muttered:

"But I don't believe in fate."

If he really believed in fate, if he really saw it, he would not have dragged his seriously ill body for so many years, begging the Buddha everywhere to ask questions, looking for a way to live!

He was diagnosed with congenital heart disease since he was a child, and doctors said he would not live to be 25 years old.

After learning the results, his family didn't believe it, and took him to major well-known hospitals around the world one after another, and also found countless well-known professors for examination and treatment, but it was all one sentence.

It can't last 25 times.

For his condition, modern medicine cannot solve it.

When he was fifteen years old, he was already about to accept his fate, but he happened to hear some myths and legends, rumors that there are people who have attained the Tao who can live a long life, even live a long life, or live a long life without disease or disaster.

It is also rumored that there are strange treasures in heaven and earth, and obtaining them can prolong life.

So he put his hope on these myths and legends, and for nearly ten years, he was on the road to find a way to live!

I learned a lot of things along the way, and I had contact with Buddhism, Taoism, martial arts, Gu, Fa, etc., but it took nearly ten years, and my condition still did not improve in the slightest.

In the end, in despair, he returned to the end of the mountain near his hometown for two years to try the last struggle.

He is now 24 years old.

There is still half a year to go, and we will enter the threshold of 25.

Or, one foot into the loess.

He's not reconciled!

This great river and mountain, he hasn't felt it well, and there is not even the slightest trace of him left in this heaven and earth, is he going to end this life in a hurry?

In vain!

Void Cloud sighed.

He took a deep breath and suppressed his heaving emotions, just as he was about to put the broom back behind the door.

Before he could move, a stream of heat suddenly exploded in his abdomen, rushing towards his limbs, and Xuyun snorted in his mouth, and his body fell directly to the ground, and his whole body began to tremble and convulse.
