Chapter 10: There is a temple in the mountains

(I hope you will support a lot, I will work hard to code words)

Feng Shi picked up the iron sand palm method and slapped it violently on a bare boulder, only to hear a sound, and his hands were directly sunk into the boulder about 15 centimeters. Pulling out his hands, Feng Shi looked at the situation in front of him in surprise, and when he slapped it on the stone, he felt that it was not a stone, it was not bad with soft clay, so he pressed it directly. Look at your hands again, as usual, nothing. Feng Shi secretly exclaimed in his heart. After practicing for a while, he improved his proficiency, and saw that this stone of about 2 square meters was covered with his palm prints. Looking at his masterpiece Feng Shi was more gratifying, and then the problem came out again, this stone is full of handprints and must be removed, otherwise it will be difficult to be discovered.

It took more than an hour for Feng Shi to slowly smooth out the handprints on the boulder, yes, with hand grinding, the original large stone of about 2 square meters has now become a small stone of about 1 square meter. In the process of grinding, Feng Shi found his own shortcomings, he only had internal strength, no moves, and couldn't exert the power of the iron sand palm, so he asked Xiao Xin to search for the corresponding martial arts moves.

After looking at the time, he found that it was almost 11 o'clock, Feng Shi began to walk back, the scenery in the mountains in winter was still quite charming, he did not take the jump back but prepared to walk back, anyway, it was still early for lunch in winter. Along the way, I saw the scenery that I hadn't seen for many years, some ripe wild fruits hung on the branches, wild persimmons in the mountains, wild grapes These were Feng Shi's favorites when he was a child, this time since he saw it, he didn't plan to let go, so the wild fruits that were still hanging on the trees suffered from it, Feng Shi first picked them off and ate them, and then put them in his pocket when he was full. Just like that, I ate while walking, and picked while eating. I walked to the vicinity of the village and saw that the temple that was about to close down when I was a child was still alive, and I thought that it was already past lunch time anyway, so I was ready to go to the temple to have a look.

Speaking of this temple, although it has no reputation, I heard the old people say that this temple was built in the Song Dynasty, and legend has it that there was a master of the Tao in the Song Dynasty who practiced here, and at that time there was a good harvest here every year. In the past, every year on the ninth day of the ninth month of September, people within a radius of dozens of miles would come here to catch the temple fair. Under normal circumstances, there are only one or two monks here, and this time of year is when the monks are busy, and Feng Shi's current old mansion still has the Kaiguang Buddha statue that his grandfather invited back to worship at home. Now that he was here, Feng Shi was ready to go in and have a look.

The outside of the door is relatively clean, although the whole temple is dilapidated but not solemn, the gate has no couplet, only a pair of heavy doors are open. The first thing you see when you enter the door is a large incense burner, and several green smoke rises. The courtyard is relatively quiet, and the main hall is a stone statue of the Buddha, which is the same as when I was a child.

Feng Shi took out a few hundred yuan from his pocket and put it in the merit box, and took three sticks of incense from the platform in front of the Buddha and lit them with candles. He bowed three times to the Buddha statue and inserted incense into the incense burner in the main hall. Then he walked out of the main hall and went directly to the place where the monks rested, Feng Shi still remembered that there was an old Zen master here, and he had seen it when he was a child, but he had never seen it since. The old people said that this Zen master was a high-ranking monk and a man with magical powers. Feng Shi's name is still given by him, saying that Feng Shi's five elements lack soil, which is the same as Mr. Lu Xun's intercalary soil, when the name is given, he must bring a soil, so his life is a small stone, the stone is grown in the soil and called the essence of the soil, and the name comes directly to Feng Shi.

Thinking of this, Feng Shi really wanted to see this old Zen master. When I came to the place where the monks usually rested, I saw a monk in his thirties squatting on the ground playing with his mobile phone. This monk Feng Shi is more familiar, and he has come to steal the sweet potatoes he planted before.

"Monk Hua, what are you doing?" Walked up behind the monk and shouted.

The monk's name is Yongzhi, and the flower monk is the nickname given by Feng Shi and his group of children, and the Water Margin is on the air that year, and the flower monk in it is very powerful, so a group of children surround him every day and shout the flower monk, but no one remembers his real name.

Hua Monk Yongzhi, who was startled, hurriedly stood up, the phone didn't hold it, it fell, Feng Shi reached out and caught it. He looked at Feng Shi, "Little stone, why are you here?" You haven't been here in years, and you almost can't recognize it. Let's go, I'll make you tea." As he spoke, he led Feng Shi into the house, and Feng Shi went directly without being polite.

When he got to the house, Yongzhi was busy pouring tea, Feng Shi sat on the bench and said, "Monk Hua, I was embarrassed to call you Monk Hua before, but I forgot your law name, what is your law name?" ”

"The name is a formality, it doesn't matter what you shout, you still call me a flower monk, how many years have I heard it, and now everyone calls me a flower monk. The name Yongzhi is almost no one remembers. Yongzhi said as he poured tea.

"Haha, calling you a flower monk really wronged you. Are you married now? Feng Shi asked with a smile.

"Be cautious, be cautious, don't lie in front of the Buddha." As he spoke, he folded his hands and tried to appear pious.

"You're okay, you think I don't know about eating meat and drinking wine, did the black dog in the village get into your stomach before? That dog is fat, I heard my third uncle say that he can kill at least 70-80 catties of meat, it's cheap for you."

"Nonsense, how can there be so much meat, only more than 50 catties of meat" Yongzhi hurriedly clarified.

"Haha, you are really bold, the dogs of the old scar family have all been driven away, admire" After being blown out and telling the truth, Feng Shi began to tease him.

Yongzhi was quickly startled when he heard this, the people in the village, both adults and children, were afraid of the old scar, and there was a big scar on his chest, which was said to have been left when he was young when he fought with the donkey-headed wolf. Old Scar is over 70 years old this year, and he is still very strong.

Seeing that Yongzhi was still as honest as before, Feng Shi decided not to scare him anymore, "Your master, Master Huigen, hasn't seen him for many years, where is he practicing now?" ”

"The master went back to Jiuhua Mountain 15 years ago, and came back 5 years ago to give me something equivalent to a monk's ID card and then went back. Hey......" Yongzhi sighed.

"Why don't you go with your master?"

"My master didn't let me go, saying that I could only go until I understood the Buddhist scriptures he brought me."

"What Buddhist scriptures, have you attained enlightenment?" Feng Shi asked

"The Diamond Sutra, the Lotus Sutra, and a Heart Sutra, I have been reading it for 5 years, and I am reciting it like a stream, but I can't understand the Zen in it" said and shook his head, "It seems that I have no chance to go to Jiuhua Mountain." ”

"It's okay, it's quite haode here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, no one cares about you, you can definitely understand it." Feng Shi comforted.

"I've wanted to open it all these years, like you said, it's really good here, it's okay to see through zuihou, and it doesn't matter if you don't see it through. By the way, have you had lunch? It just so happened that some time ago, a mad dog was overtaken by me, and today you came at the right time, and you have been stewed all morning. At noon, let's overtake this mad dog together. With that, he went to the kitchen and got busy.

"Okay, I'll go and make some clean water, let's eat and make peace." You wait" Seeing Yongzhi go to the kitchen to make dog meat hot pot, Feng Shi was about to take a bottle of good wine from the car and drink some with him.

After a while, Yongzhi had already finished the dog meat, and when he came to the side room where he was eating, he saw that Feng Shi had already poured the wine. With good dog meat and adult wine, the two of them drank it like this. The monk's wine is not large, and Feng Shi's wine is also small, and the liquor here is drunk little by little with a very small wine glass.

"Stone, how old are you this year," Yongji asked

"It's 26 after the New Year, why are you asking this?"

“26? So you're 25 years old? What month did you give birth? Yongzhi hurriedly asked

"What's wrong with October?" Feng Shi was puzzled, "You don't want to introduce me to my daughter-in-law, I can tell you, we have a high vision, don't be scared."

"You're not a stone, who the hell are you?" Yongzhi immediately stood up, his momentum changed, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Feng Shi.
