Master Green Snake asked me to take off my shirt, and after I took it off, she stepped forward and looked at the lampstand carefully. My body was covered with dense human faces, and every face was hideous, as if I wanted to break free from my skin and bite the green snake master.

Master Green Snake put down the lampstand and folded his hands, "As a hell, you are the second person I have ever seen to do this. ”

I put on my clothes and asked who the first one was.

Master Green Snake smiled and didn't say, she sat back on the futon: "Huang Jushi explained the situation to me, I also know it in my heart, you go back to sleep first, and come here at three o'clock in the morning tomorrow." ”

My heart trembled, three o'clock in the morning? My goodness. I hesitated: "Where is Huang Xiaotian, can I see it?" ”

"The time has not come, so you will naturally see it when you see it." After the green snake master finished explaining, he twisted the Buddha beads and lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes to read the scriptures, and never looked at me again.

I had no choice but to leave, go back to my residence, and put my phone on the alarm clock.

She told me to arrive at three o'clock, and I definitely can't pinch it, and this rule is still clear. I set the alarm clock at half past two in the morning, and when I looked at my watch, it was almost ten o'clock, usually this is the beginning of the nightlife, not now, I have to hurry up and sleep, I can sleep a little longer.

The air in the mountains was good and clean, and I fell asleep with my pillow on my head, and I slept soundly, and my phone rang. I was in pain, and I really didn't want to get up, but if I wanted to get rid of these strange things on my body, I had to listen to other people's teachers.

I got out of bed, sleepy, as if I hadn't slept at all. With great perseverance, I got dressed and went out.

It was really cold in the mountains, and the cold air hit my face, and I was somewhat sober. Braving the night wind and frost, I came to the Buddha hall, tiptoed through the back door into the meditation room, and saw that the green snake master was still sitting cross-legged on the futon, twisting the Buddha beads, reciting scriptures, and kept the posture when I left, as if I had not slept all night.

I looked at my watch, and at 2:45, I didn't have time to disturb her schoolwork, so I sat next to me and waited.

At three o'clock in the morning, she stopped the scriptures on time, raised her eyes to look at me, and said with a blank face: "Come with me." ”

She got up and walked out, I followed, and we walked out of the temple one after the other.

Go around to the back of the main hall, leaning on the steep slope to the cliff above, and the slope is hollowed out one step after another, and it can barely tolerate one foot, and you can fall down if you step on the wrong step.

Master Green Snake didn't hold on, he went up the steps directly, and climbed the height while twisting the Buddha beads, walking extremely steadily and quickly. I followed, cautiously, and had to hold on to the cliff next to me, walking in fear.

The cliff can go out of ten meters, four or five stories high, look down at the legs and stomachs are tendons, finally came to the pavilion on the hillside, I was in a cold sweat, I wanted to rest, the green snake master did not stop at all, and continued to walk deep along a forest path.

I followed her for a long time, and there was a sound of rushing water in the depths of the woods.

It is not yet spring, all are dead trees and dead branches, we pass through the grove, there is a pond in front of us, a mountain spring falls from the heights, this water is quite urgent, it falls from the air to form a small waterfall with a strong impact, the pool is full of rocks, and it is round and slippery.

Master Green Snake said, "Take off your clothes." ”

"What?" I was taken aback, "Undressed? ”

Master Green Snake was expressionless and didn't say the second sentence anymore, meaning that if you don't listen, I can't help it.

I hesitated for a moment, then gritted my teeth and took off my shirt. I asked, "Are you still taking your pants off?" ”

Master Green Snake still didn't speak. The mountain wind in the middle of the night was cold, so cold that I shivered, I was so angry that I scolded my mother in my heart, it didn't matter if the master of the green snake was human, the scene was frozen here.

I gritted my teeth, grassed, and let go. I took off my pants too, and there was only one trouser left on my body.

Who knew that Master Green Snake still didn't speak, closed his eyes and lowered his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Okay, okay, you forced me. As soon as I gritted my teeth, I took off the last of my trousers, and stood naked in the mountain wind with my shoulders crossed, my lips purple from the cold.

Only then did Master Green Snake point to the mountain spring waterfall and say, "Go down, stand and sit, and let the water hit you." ”

"This, this, I'm so cold, this water is cold, right?" I was so cold that my hands and feet were wooden.

Master Green Snake didn't speak, but looked at me.

I froze with her for a minute, she could afford it and I couldn't afford it, and now I was naked, and Master Green Snake was wearing a thick monk's robe, and his head was sweating.

I made a great deal of determination, but I also held back a fire, and came to the edge of the pond tremblingly, and carefully stepped on the rocks. I went to the fucking cold, the water was like ice melting, my feet were numb and unconscious, and I finally walked under the mountain spring.

The cold water of the waterfall rushed to my body, and I almost fainted at this moment, I half-squatted under the waterfall, so that I could save some hot air.

The brain is no longer able to think about problems, close to numbness. Master Green Snake stood on the shore outside, reciting the scriptures quickly, and I felt the scriptures in my ears with my eyes half-closed, trembling, and I felt that the scriptures were drilling into my ears, and I couldn't think, and I went straight to my heart, like a drumstick, knocking again and again.

I don't know how long it took, but I always felt like I was going to die, but I had a belief in my heart that I would hold on, hold on for another second, hold on for another second......

Master Green Snake stopped the scripture and beckoned to me, signaling that he could come out. I couldn't move my legs anymore, and my legs seemed to freeze, and it took me a long time to get up, grope my way out, and get to the shore.

Master Green Snake took a towel from nowhere and handed it to me, "Wipe it."

I barely wiped the water off my body and put my clothes back on, and it felt like I was going back and forth in the ghost gate, and my whole body was steaming out.

"How are you feeling?" Master Green Snake asked.

I shuddered for a while, blinked and said, "It's okay, it feels pretty comfortable." ”

Master Green Snake pointed to the spring and said, "This spring is called the Karma Spring, which is specially designed for people to eliminate karma, and you are not the first to take a bath here." In spring and summer, there is an endless stream of lay pilgrims who come to the spring to consume their business, but in winter there is a small number of pilgrims. The so-called elimination of karma is not so easy, people come to the world for the first time, like pure and flawless rubber, in the red dust for a long time, it will naturally absorb dust, dusty and colorless. The so-called elimination of karma is to wipe off the dirt on it and reveal the true origin. When you eliminate karma here, you eliminate it for yourself and for the ghost in you. ”

She paused and continued: "From today onwards, you must come here on time at three o'clock in the morning, strip naked and go under the waterfall to eliminate karma, and you must not be tired. ”

I nodded, reluctant and helpless: "Got it." ”

Master Green Snake took me along the mountain road and walked inward, and after a short time, we came to a gentle slope, where the situation was open, and there was a fence around the open space, in which four or five deer were raised, and they were sleeping on the ground.

She handed me a key: "After you get rid of your karma, you have to come here to clean the deer park and clean up the feces." Pick up water twice a day and be picky eaters, come and feed the deer, don't get tired. ”

I nodded with bitterness in my mouth. Master Green Snake opened the gate of the fence, and I followed her inside, and the deer were alert, and they opened their eyes and ran away. Leaning against the fence, there were a few big brooms, and Master Green Snake motioned for me to learn from her and sweep the ground with a broom. There is also a small house here, open the door and go in, there is a fishy smell inside, against the wall I saw a faucet, twisted it and there was water. This project is not small, and it can lead the mountain spring here.

Master Green Snake said, "The water here can be used for you to wash and feed, but the food must be picked from the bottom of the mountain, and when you go to Wang Lan during the day, she will tell you what to do." ”

"Wang Lan?" I wondered.

"It's the old man who gave you shortbread." Master Green Snake said.

I'm ashamed, I dare to love her and she knows everything.

We came out of the deer park, locked the door, I thought we were going back, who knew that the green snake master turned the mountain road, walked into the bushes, and finally climbed over a hill, she pointed to the cliff not far away and said, "Look at that." ”

I put my hand on the pergola and looked over, and on a raised rock on the cliff, there was an animal lying on its stomach, and if I looked closely, it was a gray cat. I thought to myself and said, "Is this the cat looking at the painting?" ”

"Yes, it's called Mimi." Master Green Snake said.

It's no wonder that we are far away and don't speak loudly, but as soon as Master Green Snake said the word "Mimi", the gray cat on the high cliff stone noticed it, and immediately turned over and stood up, with green eyes, looking at us.

Master Green Snake said: "This cat has a history, but it is wild and untamable, my request is very simple, catch it." ”

"What's that? Catch it? I hissed and gasped as if I had a toothache.

I didn't want to deal with such an animal in the first place, it was not only aggressive, but also climbed high and climbed far, how could I possibly catch it.

"It's your business how to catch it." Master Green Snake pointed to his temples, meaning to let me use my brain.

I thought in my heart, I can't push it off, but it doesn't mean that this task can't be completed, I immediately came up with a way, doesn't this cat love to look at paintings, you can set a trap in the Buddhist hall, and let it have no return.

Although I had a plan, I still had a bitter face and muttered vigorously, no, it's too difficult.

Of course, there is a reason for this, I am afraid that Master Green Snake will assign any more work, and I really won't be able to do it. That's enough for a pot.

Master Green Snake looked at me: "When will you catch this cat, when will you be allowed to see Huang Jushi, and then you will be allowed to go down the mountain." If you can't catch it for the rest of your life, then you can stay in the temple for the rest of your life. ”
