The pebblestone bottom of the pool is as warm as a baby's hand. The swirling water vapor makes this hot spring feel like an ethereal fairyland, and people can't help but want to clear the clouds and see which Yi is relieving Luo Shang.

It's a pity that Qi Manfu, who was waiting outside the bamboo screen, knew that there were absolutely no fairies inside, just a thin old monk and a thin little master.

Inside the bamboo screen is a hot spring that pops up in the bitter bamboo mountain, which is like boiling water, and it is difficult for ordinary people to endure it at all. In fact, this boiling spring is not as hot as imagined, it is estimated that it is twice the body temperature of ordinary people, and those scary boiling are just an illusion caused by the surging airflow.

This hot spring is called "Thousand Eyes" by the Fuji old monks, which not only divides the Buddha nature of the Bodhisattva's Thousand Eyes to view the world, but also corresponds to the characteristics of this spring. It is extremely interesting to say, Kuzhu Mountain is a stone mountain, not adjacent to the water but hollow inside, large and small stone caves make Kuzhu Mountain like a hollowed out giant thread inside. This hot spring has poured into a stone cave under a few zhang, and continues to go up after filling the cavity of the cave, and the stone wall on the top layer is like a strainer, and the "hole" of nearly a thousand bowls on it makes the spring water can only be divided into a thousand strands to gush out of the surface, which is why there is a thousand eyes.

The spring water that comes up from different directions and at different times has different flow speeds, whether rapid or slow, curved or straight, and constantly collides together, which causes the spring water to boil. In addition, there is also an advantage, that is, people who soak in the hot springs only feel the hot flow hitting the acupuncture points, and the muscles and bones around the body are loosened!

Meng Yiwei was lying in the hot spring, and his frozen body on Jingpo Lake yesterday was shattered by the hot current, and the ice shell was crushed by the hot flow, which was numb and itchy, and it was very comfortable.

"How's that, little master, but it's so comfortable?" said the lazy voice of the old monk from the pool next to him.

"It's really good, these twenty taels of silver haven't been cheated by you!"

"You get what you pay for! That's how the family of the small temple was saved!"

Hearing this, Meng Yiwei felt that his teeth were a little tight.

"I heard that you won a battle against a little immortal?" the old monk asked about business

"It's only been a day since it was rumored to be like this? Where is the victory, it's just to scare away! It also caused itself to be frozen into an ice lump!" Meng Yiwei smiled bitterly

"That's not bad! With your body and bones that can't practice martial arts, you can scare off the little martial arts immortals, enough for you to blow a pot. The old monk pursed his lips and was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "There is cause and effect in the world, and others avoid it, why do you take the initiative to contaminate it?"

Meng Yiwei was stunned for a moment, casually blew away the fog in front of him, and replied, "From the beginning of the physical body, I fell into cause and effect, and I wanted to struggle, but it was useless!"

"Alas, everyone in the world is suffering, and the death is blissful, Amitabha!" the old monk's rare Dharma appearance is solemn.

"Hehe, you also said that I, no, No! You are a high-ranking monk, why do you have to fight to the death with that great lama? Isn't this also contaminated with cause and effect!" Meng Yiwei asked lightly, but his expression was extremely serious

"Cause and effect reincarnation, the Great Buddha is hidden, even if the Buddha in the flesh, he can't get rid of it, he can't get rid of it! Amitabha Buddha!" The old monk who usually doesn't make much noise about the Buddha has already sung a few words of the Buddha horn today.

Then the two of them stopped talking, whether it was the senior monk of the first treasure temple of Dayu or the master of the first academy in the world, they were surrounded by thick water vapor, and their breathing seemed to be suffocated.

At noon, Qi Manfu went to the Buddha Hall to eat a refreshing meal, and in the afternoon he moved a stack of futons and spread them on the sunny wall, which was soft and warm, and he dozed off on it.

It wasn't until the sunset turned that there was movement in the bamboo screen.

Meng Yiwei came out of the spring, wiped the water, and put on clothes. Looking at the pool next to him, the old monk did not move. I couldn't help but walk over, dialed the water vapor, leaned over to look, it turned out that the old monk fell asleep on the edge of the pool. The wrinkles on his face were dripping with droplets, like an old horse running on a bumpy dirt road, walking and stopping, and finally dripping into the pool, but half of it was already left in the deep ravine.

"Hey, old monk!" Meng Yiwei called softly

"Hmm~" The old monk slept lightly

"What date is the date of your fight with the Great Lama?"

"It's the winter solstice! five days later!" the old monk closed his eyes

"Oh!

Hearing this, the old monk opened his eyes, "Forget it! Otherwise, won't there be another period of cause and effect?"

"Okay, I'll go first!You continue to be comfortable!" Meng Yiwei turned around and walked around the bamboo screen

"Little master!" the old monk shouted, Meng Yiwei stopped, only to hear the old monk's voice was a little solemn, "Old monk, although I have six clean roots, I don't get rid of the red dust." Just a word of advice for you!"

"Oh, let's hear it," Meng Yiwei found interesting

"You are too hot inside and too cold outside, and the grass is the opposite, it is too hot on the outside and too cold on the inside. But different causes can have the same effect, and you and the other two will inevitably end up in the same fate. ”

"What's the end?" Meng Yiwei turned around again

"Alas, Xiaocao has entered the Buddha's door, it should be so, but you are in Hongchen, can you bear the words 'lifelong loneliness'?"

"Lonely for life?" Meng Yiwei groaned, did not answer the old monk, and just walked out slowly.

Sitting in the carriage back to the city, Meng Yiwei looked down at the markings on the skin of the bamboo cane. This bamboo cane is newly made, and the one that was inserted into the soul attraction bone yesterday has been returned to the Diwu Mansion along with it. So he chose a new bamboo from Kuzhu Mountain, wiped off the frost, and grinded away the bamboo joints, which was also considered to be useful.

The bamboo pattern of bitter bamboo is more peculiar, and there is only one ink-colored one in each section, straight up and down, like black tear stains.

Rubbing the bitter bamboo pattern, Meng Yiwei whispered, "It's lonely for life!

Qi Manfu still has a hand in driving, the horsewhip is thrown loudly, and the wheel turns briskly.

With the last touch of afterglow, the carriage entered Yiyang City, and then walked around, and when it stopped at the door of the Wei Pavilion, it was already starry.

"That master, my former colleague wants to have a drink together, you see that it is not easy for my apprentice to be discharged from the hospital, you can..."

"Get out!" Meng Yiwei scolded with a smile, and Qi Manfu was happy

Meng Yiwei went home alone, Xichao and Ling'er both lived in the academy, and they could not be discharged during the start of classes. Without the gentleness of the Dynasty and Ling'er's chickens and dogs, the Pavilion was suddenly a little empty and indifferent.

Suddenly, I heard someone shouting at the door, "Is the little master at home?"

It turned out to be the bride of the Wang family in the adjacent alley, wearing a red jacket, but the posture of a middle-aged person was delicate and simple, and Meng Yiwei was a little cowardly

"It's me, what's the matter with you?" Meng Yiwei was very polite

"Oh, no, it's a handsome girl in purple, who came to give you clothes, but you're not there, so send me to hand it over" The bride of the Wang family said as she looked carefully at the legendary academy master, but she didn't feel majestic, but she was very handsome and young, and she was really tall!

"Then, thank you!" Meng Yiwei raised his hand to take the clothes box and asked casually, "Do you have any explanation?"

The girl in purple said, standing on the hillside yesterday, seeing how hard you rowed a boat, and your green shirt was torn by the ice ballast, so I rushed one to give it to you overnight. ”

Meng Yiwei lowered his head when he heard this, and sure enough, there was a hole in the placket, and even he didn't notice it

"That girl, it's really affectionate!" After the bride of the Wang family finished delivering the clothes, after speaking, she looked at the little master, and went back satisfied

Meng Yiwei returned to the hall and opened the clothes box, and sure enough, it was a green shirt that he liked, but the color was heavier, just like the deep blue sea water on the Xinghai route

"Remember to take me to Xinghai Voyage!" In my memory, more than ten years ago, a little girl said to herself coquettishly, Meng Yiwei was in a trance.

"You are cold on the outside and hot on the inside, lonely for life!" the words of the old monk suddenly rang in his ears during the day, pulling him back to reality

Looking down at the fine stitches on the brand-new green shirt, Meng Yiwei couldn't help but clench her fingers.

"In order not to let others fall into my cause and effect!
