Chapter 631: The Dry Well Is Not Dry The Water Monkey is born
Different from the real historical legend, in the south of Huai'an City, seventy or eighty kilometers away, there is also a mountain called Guishan, although this mountain is not as famous as the tourist attraction Turtle Mountain in southern Hunan, but, on this mountain, there is also a small Yuwang Temple, although the temple is small and dilapidated, however, its history is very long, so far that even the local county chronicles do not know when this small temple began to appear on this Guishan.
On the Turtle Mountain in southern Xiangnan, there are Yuwang Palace, Yueshu Pavilion, Longxiang Temple, Taiping Xingguo Temple, Guiyue Pavilion, Zhuangyuan - Qingchuan Pavilion, Guqin Tai, etc., and this mountain here, but there is only a lonely Yuwang Temple, the temple is broken and the small temple is poor, and the whole small temple is a total of two masters and apprentices, the nominal presiding old monk is still a sick person, has been bedridden for more than a year, and it seems that he may be a half-disabled patient who may return to the West at any time.
This presiding old monk, called Xiangyun, has been staying in the Yuwang Temple on this mountain since he was a child, and has never left a step, even if he is seriously ill now, his only disciple Guangyuan wants to send him to the hospital, he also resolutely refuses to leave this small temple for half a step, and in the end he even released his words, saying that he would rather die in the temple than go to any hospital for treatment.
In the end, his disciple had no choice but to accept his request with tears, and he had been relying on drinking bitter and astringent Chinese medicine every day to maintain it, but looking at the current situation of this old monk, I am afraid that he would not be able to survive for a few days.
Unlike this old monk, the old monk's apprentices, although they are also the same as the old monks, were adopted by his own master from an orphan from a nearby village when he was a child, but the old monk did not ask the other party to be the same as him for his own apprentice, and never left this small dilapidated temple with only the two of them for the rest of his life, but chose to let him study hard until he graduated from college.
After finishing college, the old monk originally wanted to let his precious apprentice leave this broken temple and go outside to develop well, but his apprentice was worried about his master's getting worse and worse, so he resolutely gave up all kinds of temptations from the outside world, silently returned to this broken temple, took off all kinds of fashionable and generous clothes, put on simple monk robes, and served his master in the temple with all his heart. Guangyuan is now twenty-four years old, and he has already become an adult, he understands that his master may not have much time to live, for this time, he, who is a disciple, can only do his filial piety by his side, and it can be regarded as worthy of the other party who has raised him for so many years.
This morning, after making breakfast early in the morning and waiting for his master to finish breakfast, the little monk of Guangyuan, after doing his daily homework in the past, took an ancient bronze mirror fragment handed down from the temple and went to the dry wells in the backyard of his temple to do the investigation work that had never been carried out day after day.
Originally, according to his previous situation, this kind of routine errand that the elders of the past generations of the master did not know how many years they had done, and they should come back soon, who knows, after the old monk Xiangyun slept after breakfast, his own little apprentice still did not come back, and when the old monk was guessing whether something had happened to his apprentice, suddenly, from outside the courtyard gate, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
"Master, Master, something is wrong, something is wrong, it really makes you right, the three wells in our temple are now exactly the same as you said, all of them are full of well water, not to mention, in this well water, from this morning, from time to time to the outside of different colors of light, not to mention, the well water of this well is there as if the water is boiling, bubbling and rolling there, in these stirring splashes, from time to time different kinds of fish and shrimp pop out, Master, our vein, After more than 5,400 years of withering here, I finally waited for this day in the records of the master......"!
Before the words fell, Guangyuan, who was flushed with excitement, had already rushed in quickly from the outside, and as soon as he came in, this Guangyuan didn't even breathe, and shouted loudly at the old monk lying on the wooden couch.
"What? What did you say? Guangyuan, you really saw the water gushing out of these three ancient wells that had dried up for thousands of years, colorful light, fish and shrimp jumping, sure enough, it was exactly the same as what was recorded in the ancient book handed down in our temple, Guangyuan, I passed on your Kurong Zen Gong a few days ago, how are you practicing now, have you broken through to the Qi refining period! Although it is said that if the aura is restored today, everyone has the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivation, but I still hope that this world can be the same as before, so peaceful and calm, so carefree, but unfortunately, all this is a catastrophe, the past generations of teachers in the temple have a few words left, saying that there is no return to the mountain, the dry well is not dry, the light is a fish jumping, and the water monkey is born, I am afraid that the thing that our teachers and elders are worried about will really happen......"!
This old monk originally looked as thin as a wood and terminally ill, but in the impression of this little monk Guangyuan, his master already didn't know how many days he couldn't sit up with his own strength.
However, just after he rushed in and told his master about the major events that happened in the temple, his master, who was about to swallow his breath, seemed to have been beaten by someone, brushed it, sat up directly from the bed, grabbed the sleeve of the little monk Guangyuan, and shook his apprentice's arm desperately, the anxiety in his eyes was no different.
"Master, the dry well is not dry, I know, now there is water in the well, in fact, this is also normal, don't you know, in nature, this kind of thing that feels incredible in the eyes of ordinary people often happens, this phenomenon of dry well water is not a very strange thing, but there are fish jumping out of this water and not stopping to shine is different, Master, what do you mean by the last sentence you just said, what is the birth of a water monkey! What kind of monkey is a water monkey, it can't be the legendary water ghost......"?
Unlike the anxious old monk, this little monk Guangyuan, after listening to his master's words, although he also felt a little incredible, but, out of confidence in the knowledge he had learned in his more than ten years of campus career, he still insisted on explaining to his master, but unfortunately, the things he encountered today were more and more magical, so that his explanation became so pale and weak before he finished speaking, and in the end, even he didn't have the confidence to continue.
