Huo Jiuming in front of him has bright eyes and teeth, and he is born with Yuxue cute, which makes people involuntarily have a good impression.

Huo Jiang's tense cheeks seemed to ease, and he said, "Master Abbot, do you think well?" ”

The abbot had dealt with Huo Jiu, and knew that this child was not only bold, but also difficult to entangle, and when he saw Huo Jiang say this, he immediately pushed the boat down the river and said, "Since this is the case, then the old man will let the two of them accompany them." ”

As he spoke, he called a young monk in and said, "Huijing, you can accompany the two donors to the back mountain." ”

Huo Roufeng thanked her, and followed Huo Jiang out of the meditation room, and saw that Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan were both standing under the corridor, she remembered that there were still a thousand taels of silver on the carriage, and it seemed that she would not need it today.

The young monk named Hui Jing also saw the Zhang brothers, and he said to Huo Roufeng: "Little donor, please go alone with Huo Shi. ”

Huo Roufeng nodded, and followed the customs, besides, Yongji Temple is not an ordinary temple, and the Queen Mother often comes over, and the rules here are bigger than elsewhere.

The group walked to the back mountain and saw that a stone tablet had been erected there, with only one word "enlightenment" written on it.

Hui Jing said that the patriarch of Yongji Temple traveled here in the past, and visited Buddhism in the back mountain for several years, and after the great enlightenment, he built the Yongji Temple here, so the back mountain has become the place where the monks of the past dynasties have realized the law.

Huo Jiang did not bring his entourage, Zhang Ting and Zhang Xuan stayed outside the Wuzi Monument, and only Huo Jiang and Huo Roufeng followed Hui Jing into the back mountain.

Huo Roufeng saw that Hui Jing was only in her early twenties, but she seemed to be very familiar with the back mountain, so she asked, "Master Hui Jing, have you seen Master Yuantong?" ”

Hui Jing said: "The little monk will come to Houshan every month to send rice, grains, melons and fruits to Uncle Taishi, and I just met Uncle Taishi last month. ”

Huo Roufeng was surprised: "When you come to deliver food every month, you can see Master Yuantong?" Isn't that the most destined person? ”

There was still a childlike voice in her voice, soft and glutinous, Huo Jiang couldn't help but look down at her.

Huiqing clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, the little monk doesn't dare, but the old man has to count the items in person every time, and the little monk can see it." ”

Huo Roufeng was even more curious: "Isn't there a little novice serving by Master Yuantong's side?" Do you want his old man to personally count those firewood, rice, oil and salt? ”

Huiqing said: "Amitabha, this temple has clear rules, but all those who enter the mountain to visit enlightenment, are alone, except for Buddhist scriptures and instruments, whether people, animals or mundane things, can not be carried." Although Master Yuantong is highly respected, he is also the same. ”

I see.

The mountain wind blew, making the branches of the trees all over the mountain rustle, Huo Roufeng pulled up the hood and followed Huo Jiang and Huiqing on the mountain path to continue walking.

She walked behind Huo Jiang and saw Huo Jiang's thin smoky gray cloak blown up by the mountain wind, like a gray crane, which would fly away in the wind at any time.

Huo Qingzhou's snow-white body appeared in front of her eyes, and she couldn't help but shake her head, not only did the father and son look alike, but even their preferences and personalities were completely different, and they didn't know if Huo Qingzhou was like her, they were all picked up children.

However, the thought was only fleeting, and she immediately thought of something more interesting.

"Mr. Huo, you met Master Yuantong fifteen years ago, did you meet with Master Abbot? Did the abbot introduce you to him? Or is it like Master Huijing, who encountered it when he gave rice noodles to Master Yuantong? ”

She said in one breath like a cannon, Huo Jiang in front of him stopped, he turned to look at Huo Roufeng, he was standing on the stone path, a few steps higher than Huo Roufeng, plus he was already tall, standing in front of the petite Huo Roufeng, condescending.

"No, I strayed into the back mountain, was bitten by a snake here, and was rescued by Master Yuantong, so I was able to meet Master Yuantong."

"Snakes? Here are snakes? As soon as Huo Jiang's words fell, Huo Roufeng had already jumped up, as if she was being chased by a group of snakes behind, she bypassed Huo Jiang and ran to the front as if she was flying.

Huo Jiuye grew up in Hangzhou since he was a child, and the white snake play that the troupe loves to play is on the shore of West Lake in Hangzhou.

She has not only seen snakes, but also heard a lot of people talk about the horror of poisonous snakes, and firmly believe that there are really thousands of years of snake spirit in this world, yes, the snake spirit is pressed under the Leifeng Tower, from childhood to adulthood, she doesn't know how many times she has looked outside the Leifeng Tower, although the snake spirit has not been seen, but she has heard the story of the snake spirit dozens of catties.

Huo Jiuye is not afraid of snakes, but if she is really bitten by a snake, she is really afraid.

Looking at her mellow back and quickly running a few feet away, Huo Jiang frowned, what is going on with this Huo Jiu?

Hmm, by the way, how did you forget, Huo Jiu was just a teenager, maybe he was scared by a poisonous snake.

Fortunately, Huo Roufeng stopped after running for a while, and waited until Huijing caught up before they left together.

Soon, they saw scattered and dilapidated thatched huts, apparently uninhabited for many years, and most of them had collapsed.

Huo Roufeng asked, "Are these all people who come here to enlighten Zen live?" ”

Hui Jing nodded and said, "As far as the little monk knows, in the past twenty years, no one in this temple has come in to participate in meditation except for the old man's uncle, and these thatched huts have been at least twenty years. ”

Huo Roufeng didn't ask any more, the three of them walked forward again, walked about three or four miles, and smelled a fragrance of pine wood, only to see three houses hidden between the pines and cypresses, not thatched houses, but wooden houses, these wooden houses look old, and I don't know what kind of wood they use, but they haven't been destroyed for many years.

Hui Jing pointed to the three wooden houses and said to Huo Roufeng: "Little donor, this is the place where Uncle Taishi and Ancestor go to Zen, these three rooms were built by Uncle Taishi himself, and they have been here for dozens of years. Two donors, the little monk can only send you here, whether the uncle is willing to see you, it depends on fate, the little monk said goodbye first. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Huo Jiang and Huo Roufeng to say anything, Hui Jing turned around and trotted away, completely different from the way Yun Danfeng talked lightly when he came, this look was similar to when Huo Roufeng heard that there was a snake, as if he was worried about being chased out by Master Yuantong to fight, he ran faster than a rabbit.

Huo Jiang didn't seem to see Hui Jing leave, found a stone that looked fairly clean and sat on it, Huo Roufeng saw it, frowned, and asked, "Mr. Huo, why don't we go in and knock on the door, is it useful to sit here?" ”

Huo Jiang raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Whether it's useful or not, you can sit down and know." ”

Huo Roufeng had no choice but to sit down on a big rock opposite the Huo River, the weather was cold, and it was cold on the big stone.
