Chapter 9 The Buddha said no

According to legend, Zhong Kui was a native of Zhongnan Village, Zhongnan Mountain, and was talented when he was young.

During the Wude period of the Tang Dynasty, he went to Chang'an to take the exam and was a high school jinshi. When the emperor appointed him, he saw that his appearance was strange and ugly, and Long Yan was displeased: "Is there no one in my Tang Dynasty?" How can you let an ugly monster live in the temple, wouldn't it be a laugh in the world. ”

So he cut off his fame and drove him out of the temple.

Zhong Kui looked up to the sky and sighed: "God treats people unfairly, since I am talented, how can I be born?" "Angry and crashed to death. When the emperor saw him, he felt that he was heroic and regretted it very much.

and he gave him a black robe and was buried.

In the Tianbao period, it is said that Li Longji, the emperor of the Tang Ming Dynasty, went to Lintong Lishan to patrol, and occasionally suffered from spleen disease, which could not be cured for a long time. One night, I dreamed of a great man with a strange appearance, caught a little ghost, gouged out his eyeballs, and ate him.

The Great Han claimed that he was "a Jinshi who failed to pass the palace test, Zhong Kui", and the emperor woke up from a dream and immediately recovered from his illness.

So, he ordered Wu Daozi to paint the scene of Zhong Kui catching ghosts in his dream into a picture, which is the famous "Zhong Kui Ghost Eating Picture". Hang in the palace to ward off evil spirits.

Zhong Kui looked at the young man in front of him coldly, and saw that Kong Qi had a handsome face, picturesque facial features, and sword eyebrows and starry eyes; With a figure of 1.8 meters, he has a long body and a graceful demeanor. I didn't like him in my heart, and thought to myself: "Xuanji likes such a little white face, I can't let him hurt Xuanji!" ”

"Since you call me the eldest brother, the scenery here is very good, how about letting the eldest brother take you to explore the scenery of Mount Emei?" Zhong Kui put away his nine heads, only one side remained, and said in a calm tone.

In fact, the moon is gone, and it is the darkest time before dawn.

"Good! It's just that it's dark, and if you play around, you'll have to wait until dawn. Kong Qi said happily.

"What's so hard about that?" He turned to the bat demon hanging upside down on the tree and said, "This Brother Kong, your night vision is not good, bat, I still need you to illuminate everything and take us there." ”

The bat demon spreads its wings and is two meters in size. With a divine light, two red rays of light shot out of a pair of convex eyes, illuminating a radius of several miles like day, crawling at the feet of the two.

Zhong Kui pulled the hole qi to the back of the bat demon, rose in the air, swept over the treetops, and watched it in the air for a long time, it was indeed the Emei world show.

It can be seen that thousands of ravines compete for the stream, thousands of peaks compete for the show, it is the spring season, the flowers bloom ten thousand kinds, the pines and bamboos are green.

Kong Qi praised it and said, "Brother Kong, do you know why Mount Emei got its name?" ”

Zhong Kui said with a smile: "This mountain is seen at a glance, the cloud peaks are green, the canyon is long, and it is like a girl wearing a green dress and drawing long eyebrows, thin and long, beautiful and glamorous, so it is called Emei." ”

Kong Qi pointed down with his hand, and saw that in the depths of the mountain, there was a mountain on the left and right, abrupt and narrow. said: "Big brother, look, these two mountains are towering, straight into the depths of the mountains, one is the left eyebrow peak, and the other is the right eyebrow peak. Some people walk here, look at the Emei Golden Summit, seem to be in the eyebrows, and there is a poetic feeling. ”

The two traveled all the way, visited Fuhu Temple, Washing Elephant Pond, Longmen Cave, and commented on the mountain and peaks, rewarded each other, and each had their own opinions. couldn't help admiring each other in his heart, Zhong Kui said in his heart: "If this guy wasn't so good-looking, he might be able to be friends with him, I don't know." ”

Kong Qi is much more open-minded, and he has long regarded this ugly monster as a big brother.

At that time, the east was white, the sky was slightly bright, and the two of them fell on the top of the Emei gold, and there were already visitors in twos and threes, and the top of the plate was raised.

Presumably, the early people came to watch the Emei holy lamp.

Emei holy lamp is also known as Buddha lamp, in the early morning of the moonless moon on the golden roof, the green light cluster that floats often appears under the sacrifice rock, forms ten million points from one point or two points, like the stars twinkle and jumps, flutters in the dark valley, in ancient times it was praised by people as "ten thousand bright lights towards Fuxian". The phenomenon of holy lamps is extremely rare, and legend has it that only people who are very attached to the Buddha can see it.

The golden top is the highest peak on Emei, very open, with a radius of 100 acres. The stupa monastery is solemn. Pine and bamboo are planted everywhere, and the rhododendrons in more than 100 flower beds are blooming brightly, and from a distance, they are as bright as red clouds.

Zhong Kui watched the bees "buzzing" and busy among the flowers, thinking of his miserable life experience, and diligent in exorcising ghosts and catching demons every day. How can I have a moment of leisure, and see the azaleas as red as blood, which inevitably touches my heart. Reciting the poem "Xuancheng Sees Azaleas":

Shu once heard the Zigui bird, and Xuancheng saw the azalea.

One is called, one is broken, and three springs and three months are remembered.

Kong Qi saw that his tone was sad, and knew that he was motivated by his feelings, and said: "Although the azalea is beautiful, it has a bleak legend. According to legend, in ancient times, Du Yu, the king of Shu, loved his people very much, and lived in seclusion after the country was broken. Later, he was betrayed and killed by people close to him, and after his death, he was resentful and turned into a sub-regulation bird, and people called it a cuckoo bird. Every spring, cuckoo birds fly to wake up the common people "block cuckoo!" Hurry up cuckoo! "Blood flowed from his mouth, and blood was sprinkled on it, staining the rhododendrons all over the mountain."

"Yes! Everything in the world has its own destiny, but it has just added a lot of sighs and beautiful visions to future generations! Zhong Kui stared into the distance and said.

Looking down from the golden roof, you can see that the clouds and mist are like the sea, sometimes the waves are surging, sometimes the wind and waves are calm, and the changes are endless. The vast sea of clouds, like snow, like cotton, thick, boundless, seems to be able to make you lie down and let you step on it. As soon as the wind blew, a wisp of light clouds hit the face.

It makes people confused and has an urge to jump down. This is the cliff of sacrifice, the cliff is ten thousand feet high, ethereal and endless.

"Look, what's that?" Suddenly, a middle-aged man leaned on the guardrail of the cliff and shouted.

The people who heard it flocked to the edge of the cliff, only to see that between the gray clouds and mist, there were golden points of light flashing, and slowly there were more and more points of light, and then under the cliff within a radius of several miles, the stars were already extinguished, and they could be seen everywhere.

"This is the Bodhisattva of Fuxian, worship the Bodhisattva!"

"My door is full of people who have Buddha fate, pray for the Bodhisattva's blessing of peace and happiness!"

“…….”

Tourists have words in their mouths, and many kneel on the ground and pray sincerely.

Kong Qi stood there, only to feel the golden light shining under the cliff, and the scenery was charming. When I raised my head, I saw that the red sun was rising, and the sunlight was also shining into the cliff, reflecting each other, which was very peculiar.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted urgently: "Girl, danger, come here!" ”

Kong Qi followed the prestige, but saw dozens of meters away. There was a girl who climbed over the guardrail and stood alone on the edge of the unfathomable cliff with a faint and strange expression.

The girl, dressed in white and handsome, looked down at the cliff, deaf to the cries of others.

"Girl, don't jump!"

"Girl, come here, what's the matter? We'll help you! ”

"So young, think about your parents......"

The tourists persuaded them all over the place, hoping that the girl would change her mind.

The girl turned around slowly and said slowly, "Listen...... There was a voice that said, "Jump down!" It's all over! ”

Kong Qi had now come to the guardrail closest to the girl, and pointed to the eye-catching warning sign on the edge of the cliff: "The Buddha said: No," while shouting: "Girl, that's an illusion, you look at the words on it, the Buddha said no." ”

The girl looked at Kong Qi, and suddenly smiled and said, "Little brother, listen, the Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" But with a handsome little brother like you to send me on my last ride, I have no regrets. ”

Kong Qi hurriedly said: "Sister, my brother is not here to see you off, but to pick you up!" ”

Kong Qi leaned out of the guardrail and stretched out his arm to the girl. This reminded him of his sister Kong Xiaoxiao, and he wanted to save her, "This is the obligation of the title of brother." "He thinks.

The girl said, "It's late, thank you, brother, for coming." But it wasn't him, he didn't come in the end, I hate him! ”

She stepped back as she spoke, half of her heel on her hind leg already dangling. This girl, trapped by love, opened her arms and leaned back.

At the same time, Kong Qi had already jumped over the guardrail and rushed towards the girl, and he wanted to hold her.

The body had rushed to the edge of the cliff, but it was too late, and Kong Qi's arm was only a foot away from the girl's sleeve, and I saw her face facing the sky, her long hair flying, her teeth biting her lip, and she fell off the cliff.

Kong Qi saw two tears flying out of the girl's eyes, and he was stupid.

What happened next made him stupid! Zhong Kui made a move, and he also flew over the railing. Seeing Kong Qi running to the edge of the cliff, he was afraid that he would use too much force, so he fell into the cliff together due to inertia, and pulled him if necessary.

But when Zhong Kui stretched out his hand and separated from Kong Qi's back, he also saw two teardrops flying out of the girl's eyes.

Looking through the crystal tears, the girl suddenly turned into a mysterious fish. His lips moved, as if he was muttering: "Master Kui, for him, for Kong Qi, even if he is an abyss, I will jump down." ”

Zhong Kui opened his mouth: "What about me?" What about me? But there was no sound.

In an instant, he changed his mind.

It's just that no matter who it is, even if there is a little bit to hurt the fish mystery, it is not allowed.

The kid in front of him is likely to cause Yu Xuanji to be hurt like the girl who jumped off the cliff, and it may not work.

Zhong Kui's hand was originally hooked into a claw-shaped, but when he thought of this, he changed his claw into a palm, and changed his pull into a push.

Kong Qi now felt that someone had gently pushed him behind his back, his footing was not stable, his body was prostrate forward, and he fell into the cliff of sacrifice.

As the saying goes, if there is no encounter, there is no harm.
