Chapter 5: The Scourge of Bloodlight
Yizhou University is in the north of Yizhou City, but the shuttle bus is to the south and turn east to go around a big circle, deliberately passing through several prosperous places in Yizhou City, and deliberately driving very slowly, about to let these freshmen get familiar with the new urban environment as soon as possible, in short, the freshmen are very excited, looking at the cityscape outside the car window and chattering non-stop.
Although Lu Xiaonan is not very enthusiastic about shopping, he is even a little afraid, especially when he goes shopping with Su Lin, which is the only thing he has a complaint about Su Lin. But with so many of his peers on the bus, he turned off his Walkman and joined the freshmen to see the city where they would live in the next four years or more.
"I think I've seen you somewhere." Tu Feng retracted his funny appearance and gritted his nails to think, and no longer called himself Ben Shaoxian like a god stick, "Anyway, I've just seen you, where the hell is it, damn, my memory seems to have been modified by some bastard, I wasn't so talkative in the first place, what a bastard, do you remember where we met?" ”
Lu Xiaonan shrugged his shoulders and joked, this guy is too good at, but he can't refute people's face, so he has to turn his eyes to the girl who explains the history of the city to the freshmen, and no longer looks at the fat man, because his eyes will involuntarily look at Tu Feng's teeth that don't seem to have been brushed clean.
The girl who explains the history of the city to the new students has a round face, sweet dimples, and a sense of affinity," ...... Now we pass through this street called Tongda Road, take the meaning of everything, from the south to the north will be divided into two large areas of Yizhou City, it and Qishan Road are the two main streets of Yizhou City......"
“…… The west of Tongda Road was originally a suburb, and now, everyone sees high-rise buildings, here is the main business district of Yizhou City, Yizhou is known as a shopping mall because the country's top wholesale market is here, there is only something you can't think of anything you can't buy, and students can go around if they want to buy things in the future, there are two buses leading to the wholesale market from the school...... To the east of Tongda Road is the original old city, Yizhou City was called Langya County and Yizhou Mansion in ancient times, and the ancient government and Fang City, as well as the former residence of historical celebrities and scholars are all there, including the current municipal government is also there, there is a place of cultural precipitation, the east and west cities are like the spring wind and the summer fire, not only not the slightest discord, but the perfect integration of classical and modern complements each other......
“…… Now the street we turn is called Hongguang Road, named after Hongguang Temple, Hongguang Temple in ancient times is outside the city, it is one of the nine views and twelve temples in the ancient Yizhou Prefecture, and it is also one of the few temples in Yizhou that has been inherited so far, there are not many legends about Hongguang Temple, but it is said that the temple suppressed a snake demon that had been in chaos in Yan, Qing, and Xu Sanzhou 64 counties......"
Lu Xiaonan listened with relish, at this moment, the originally stable shuttle bus suddenly shook, the tires made a loud bang, and the shuttle bus rushed diagonally to the pedestrians on the side of the road, but fortunately, the speed was not fast, the driver was also a veteran, the shuttle bus just rushed through the roadside guardrail and was stuck in the green belt and stopped, and did not cause major damage, but the screams of the car made people mistakenly think that the world was over.
A group of students hurriedly got out of the car and stood on the side of the road, forgetting the previous danger for a moment, and a group of young people commented on the experience just now, while the driver hurriedly ran to the roadside phone booth to make a call.
Lu Xiaonan did not panic, it seemed that he had a natural big heart and resistance to these so-called dangers, he looked at the roadside sign "Hongguang Temple", the girl who was the guide for them did not lie, there is really a temple in this city? It's just that the impression is that the temples are located in the mountains and forests far away from the hustle and bustle, and it is estimated that the temples in the city are all places for sightseeing.
Tu Feng circled around the shuttle, sniffed vigorously, bit his fingers and frowned and walked to Lu Xiaonan's side, and said in a low voice, "There are weird, very weird, in this quiet place close to the temple and the Buddha's light is high, there will be a demonic aura, although it is very light, but it is really demonic ......"
Lu Xiaonan listened to the fat man's self-talk, and was so stunned that he almost dropped his jaw, this guy is really unconscious, he thinks about everything to the ghost fox and monster, if he is heard by others, he will not be treated as a psychopath? However, looking at his previous appearance of commenting on books, it is estimated that the classmates who are full of cars have already regarded him as a god.
"It's the demon who is doing it, yes, it must be, it's the demon who cast a spell to blow the tires of the car, and it must be trying to kill all of us." Tu Feng seemed to suddenly understand the truth of the matter, and grabbed Lu Xiaonan's hand with some excitement and shook it, "Thanks to Ben Shaoxian who suppressed the demon in the car, otherwise it would be miserable......"
There's something wrong with this man's head, and it's not the time to laugh when people are flustered right now. Lu Xiaonan hurriedly withdrew his hand and moved away from him, goosebumps quietly growing on his body.
At this time, the driver had already come back from the call, whispered a few words with several student union members in the car, and then squatted in front of the more seriously damaged car, lit a cigarette and smoked fiercely, he couldn't understand how he would carefully check every time before leaving the car, how the car was obviously driving well and suddenly burst a tire.
The round-faced girl who explained to the new students all the way has regained her composure at this moment, clapped her hands and said loudly, "New students, everyone has seen that the shuttle bus we took has a little malfunction, and it will take about an hour for another shuttle bus to pick us up, and now we will temporarily change the itinerary, and I will lead you to visit Hongguang ......Temple."
From the drop-off location, continue to walk east along Hongguang Road for a few hundred meters, then turn from the intersection to the north and cross the road, they enter a north-south bluestone alley, this alley is called Chaofo Street, both sides are covered with green vine plants, it seems deep and quiet, bursts of Zen sound with the faint wind came, there is a kind of fragrant breath slowly immersed in the heart.
Lu Xiaonan couldn't help but stop and listen, but was patted on the shoulder by Tu Feng, "This temple has some doorways, follow this Shaoxian to take a look." ”
"Cut." Lu Xiaonan pursed his lips and quickly followed the classmates in front of him.
The temple is a three-entry courtyard, covering an area of about four or five acres, in this era when the price of land in the city has begun to rise, and it is in the center of the city, which can accommodate the existence of a temple, which is enough to explain some things. It's just that the Hongguang Temple here is located in the red dust of the crowd, which is slightly crowded.
Lu Xiaonan followed the crowd until the middle of Chaofo Street, turned to the right and had a small square made of cement, the antique temple gate is facing this small square, standing on the square, the door plaque of the four gilt characters of "Hongguang Temple" is particularly conspicuous.
After a classmate of the student union showed her student ID card to the ticket office next to her, the sleepy-eyed middle-aged woman waved her hand impatiently and fell asleep, and Lu Xiaonan and other thirty or forty people rushed towards the mountain gate of the temple.
The mountain gate of the temple originally had three liberation gates, namely the empty gate, the Wuxiang gate, and the Wuzuo gate, but at this time, only the empty gate in the middle was open, so Lu Xiaonan entered this gate with everyone under the gaze of the two Vajra Lux. They didn't know the taboo at all, and even the professional girl who was a tour guide explaining to the new students didn't notice which gate they were walking through, and a few students jumped over the high threshold.
The temple was originally a little deserted, except for the Zen chanting played on the radio, not even half of the staff selling souvenirs could be seen, but at this time, dozens of young people chattering suddenly poured in, and they suddenly became lively and flocked to all parts of the temple to watch.
Crossing the mountain gate, the bell and drum tower and the heavenly king hall dedicated to Maitreya Buddha and the four heavenly kings, Wei Dao Bodhisattva. Lu Xiaonan suddenly saw wisps of incense smoke in front of him, he sniffed sandalwood, vaguely saw that there were eyes staring at him, turned his head, and saw a thin monk in a moon-white short-sleeved monk's robe clasped his hands towards him, "Amitabha, this benefactor has come to incense?" ”
"Huh?" Lu Xiaonan was slightly stunned, "No, I'm a student......"
"Hehe, this student benefactor, looking at your appearance, this is the first time you have come to our Hongguang Temple, right?"
"How do you know?" As soon as the words came out, Lu Xiaonan couldn't wait to give himself a mouthful, isn't this nonsense, who is the monk on the other side? How can you not see that you are a first-time student?
The monk stared at Lu Xiaonan with a smile, "The donor is from the south?" ”
Lu Xiaonan nodded.
"Then you can't be wrong, donor, please." The monk made a gesture to invite him, and the direction was to pass through the Dahavira Hall, which is located at the back of the temple.
Lu Xiaonan was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Do you recognize me?" ”
"Thousands of miles are destined to meet, why should we have known each other." The monk shook his head and sighed, his words suddenly became cold and solemn, and his face was a little hideous, "Although the donor came to this temple is a fixed number thousands of years ago, the donor really shouldn't come back here, the donor's blood disaster can't escape, this is the donor's calamity, you will never be liberated by the curse of the asura......"
Lu Xiaonan suddenly looked up at the monk, but found that there was nothing in front of him! As if it had never been there.
