Chapter 55: Lost in the Valley
Under the lonely lamp of the Buddha, where to talk about home again.
The cleaning every morning is no longer unusual, but I am tormented by the bitterness of the mountains, and I have not even walked to the gate in this temple.
I glanced at the birds above my head and was about to ignore them, when I saw an egg about to fly out of the courtyard wall from a tall willow tree.
"Not good, not good!" My heart was more panicked than a bird, and I dropped the broom in my hand and was about to rush out of the courtyard.
Master Ananda's voice came from behind him, "Mu Yi, don't go out, don't go down the mountain."
"I can't take care of it, Master Ananda, the bird's eggs are about to fly out, and it's not just the monks who are compassionate!" I shouted as I ran, and the porridge and rice I ate over the course of the day made me stronger than usual and faster.
My eyes were only fixed on the eggs, and my body had already flown out of the monastery. The eggs were falling, and I took off my clothes as I ran, ready to catch the eggs that were about to fall.
The eggs flew down, looking at the eggs, I didn't pay attention to the behavior under my feet, tripped on the stones under my feet, and then my feet were weak, and I fell out with a rolling belt, and the eggs smashed on the face in an instant, and the face was red, white, yellow, fishy, salty, the eggs were no longer able to catch my hands, and the body was going to fly down the mountain uncontrollably.
Ananda monk saw me flying down the cliff, sighed in his heart, and gently rubbed the Zen staff with his thumb, "Amitabha, Mu Yi should not be killed, I hope the old monk will not be late, now is not the time for the donor to look at those things." ”
Maybe it's fate that tricks me, so I shouldn't die young, or maybe I dislike how handsome I am, and when I wake up, my face is already bumpy, this green, that purple, in addition to bird eggs, there are blood stains mixed on my face.
"Where am I, and what is this place," I squinted my eyes and looked around. I limped up, I don't know if it was because of the special posture of my fall, or if God favored me, except for a large piece of flesh hanging off one arm, the others were skin injuries.
Surrounded by dense forests, the mountains and rocks are ridged above, looking at the sky and no birds, but only a trace of sunlight can be seen, "I have fallen to the bottom of the valley, or it may be the bottom of the mountain" limping in searching, stretching out a hand to clean up the dirt on his face a little, looking ahead.
There are no roads to walk in the whole valley, and there are weeds and trees. "The way to heaven is a deception," and as I was swearing, a gray rabbit ran in front of me, as if it was terrified of humans.
"Hey, there are rabbits" This rabbit is just an ordinary rabbit, and it is because it is ordinary that it attracts more attention; Since the beginning of the new era, as long as there are spiritual creatures in the world, they will appear in front of people, and these people who have no wisdom at all have almost disappeared, where can you still find such a silly rabbit.
I couldn't take my mind off myself anymore, and I watched the rabbit in front of me bounce forward, and I limped behind it.
It seems that it is difficult for people to perceive how far they have gone when they are focused, and I followed the rabbit, which is exactly what happened.
Before I knew it, I had gone to the depths of the mountain forest, the rabbit disappeared, and it was gone in the blink of an eye, thinking about the three holes of the cunning rabbit, and I still didn't find the rabbit hole after looking for a long time.
"What a cunning rabbit!" Lying on the ground rummaging around the land where the rabbit disappeared, looking at the land that was bare and nothing after removing the weeds, he made fun of himself, he was teased by a rabbit for a long time, and he chased all the way stupidly.
Just as I was about to stand up, I heard the sound of stones moving behind me, and I turned around and looked in, "Hey, what is this?" "In the distance, weeds sprouted from a huge black stone, and the weeds were dense with weeds.
I limped over and took a closer look at the stones.
"Tut-tut, this is a real treasure!" The stone in front of me won my heart, although I had never played with the stone before, but just look at the piece in front of me, it was absolutely priceless before!
The outer slurry skin of the stone is dark and black, and the inner texture is exposed at the corner of the uppermost stone, and the sunlight in the sky shines obliquely, crystal clear, and directly illuminates the stone!
"Such a beautiful jade, hidden deep in the mountains and forests, if it can belong to me, I will definitely take you as my biggest treasure!" I thought to myself, thinking about something that didn't matter.
The palm of the hand touches the delicate part of the stone as if it were stroking a woman, and the whole body is smooth. It's good to enjoy!
"Ahh The stinging pain in my palm woke me up from my intoxication, and it turned out that before I knew it, the palm of my hand was cut open by the jade, and blood gushed out and remained on the stone.
"It's bad, it's bad!" Ignoring the pain in my hands, I hurriedly wiped the blood stains on the jade coating, in the psychic jade, as long as it is stained with blood, it will produce a trace of dirt, and it is okay to be contaminated with animal blood, especially human blood full of desire.
I rubbed the cuffs for a long time, and it was strange to say that the entire cuffs were about to be worn out, but the blood seemed to be stuck to the jade, and it was sucked into the jade little by little, and there was no trace of residue on the surface!
"It can't be a stone!" My mind moved, so frightened that I hurriedly took a few steps back, and cold sweat began to break out on my head, always guarding against the abnormal movement of the stones.
The stone in front of me did not grow feet and hands, and I gradually felt relieved, and at the same time, I thought to myself, "I am too careful"
At this moment, I heard Master Ananda's call in the distance, "Mu Yi, Mu Yi!" ”
"Hey, Master Ananda, I'm here!" I held my back and responded to Master Ananda.
"Master Ananda is here, maybe I can take this stone back and study it," I thought happily in my heart, I was about to obtain a peerless treasure.
As he thought about it, he turned around to look at the huge piece of jade, but when he turned around, the jade was gone.
"Hey, how can such a big stone disappear if it disappears, and if it doesn't, it's gone?" I was suspicious in my heart, so I had to squat half-lame again into the grass pile with jade before, and carefully explore and search.
"It's gone," I was about to give up.
"Master Mu Yi, what are you doing here!" Master Ananda's dry and gloomy voice sounded, which frightened me into a spirit.
"I, I'll fall down and rest for a while," I said half-turning, turning to Master Ananda.
"Come back with me, don't come out again, let alone go down the mountain, fortunately you weren't discovered by other monks!" Ananda seems to have a great deal of fear.
"What if it's seen by the other monks?" I couldn't help but be even more confused.
"This is not something you should know, now come back to the Kongshan Temple with me" Master Ananda's expression was serious, as if he had changed someone.
"Okay, let's go back, let's go back" I squatted up and followed Master Ananda, who had already turned around, to walk back.
A 'boulder' at my feet ran up my trouser and into my pocket, and I touched it casually, frowning. "Huh?"
"Anything else?" Monk Ananda asked, turning around.
"No, no, let's go back" I hurriedly replied, for fear that this Ananda master in front of me would find something, and if I wanted to tell about the jade, I had to swallow it back in my stomach at this time.
I followed Master Ananda and climbed the mountain back to the monastery.
