Chapter 58: The Four Monks

Li Xuanji made the boat fly fast, and went down the river, as if turning into a swordfish, silently, leaving only narrow ripples.

Mo Ling has been hanging far in the air, following Li Xuanji, the distance seems to be very far, Mo Ling and Li Xuanji walked all the way, it took a day and a night, during which Li Xuanji constantly used blinding spells to change directions, and it seemed to be very taboo in the eyes of ordinary people.

Mo Ling's spirit body, he didn't feel tired even after flying all night, and Li Xuanji didn't have a snooze appearance at all, and after walking all night, his spirit was a little lacking, and he could see his fatigue from a distance.

Until the sky is bright, a lake is highlighted in front, two rivers interact here, a small town is built by the water, the repair is very exquisite, there are already industrious boatmen on the river, rowing four or five fishing boats, dotted left and right.

The morning sun is rising, reflecting the blue waves and clear lake, as if the mirror reflects the town on the shore, this scene is extremely beautiful, Mo Ling couldn't help but take a slight look, but in the blink of an eye, Li Xuanji on the river disappeared again.

Mo Ling was not in a hurry, he followed all the way, this was not the first time, he looked around, there was no temple in the town for him to fall into, and Buddhism was in decline, faintly suppressed by the imperial court, and it was impossible to build any prominent buildings, after looking around, a tactful mountain road in the distance attracted Mo Ling's attention.

Shu County is surrounded by mountains, the mountains are continuous, and you can't see the edge.

Every road into the mountain is extremely precious, and even listed as a key road of the national dynasty, Li Xuanji must take this road if he wants to enter the mountain. Mo Ling flew towards the mountain road, looked for it twice, and sure enough, under the shade of the trees on the mountain road, he saw Li Xuanji who was striding quickly.

Li Xuanji carried the package on his back and strode towards the sky, walking even faster than a person running, and each step was a zhang long, as if he had made a miracle. Mo Ling continued to follow behind, carefully observing Li Xuanji shuttling through the mountain road, gradually stepping into the deep mountains.

At this time, the sun has risen, and the morning sun shines on the deep mountains and dense forests.

The shadows of the trees are swaying, the green sea is rolling, the crisp bird cries are permeating the forest, walking on the mountain road to enjoy the forest scenery on both sides, it is very enjoyable, maybe it is the deep mountains that few people visit, Li Xuanji no longer uses the trick of blinding, just burying his head in the woods, obviously very familiar with the direction of the mountain road.

Mo Ling followed all the way, until he suddenly turned, the trees suddenly decreased, revealing a vast world, a huge canyon across the eyes, the sun emerged from the end of the canyon, the bright sun shone the canyon brightly, colorful kingfishers flew together, looking extremely beautiful.

And Mo Ling didn't look at the beautiful scenery, but at the canyon rocks, the row of continuous Buddha caves, the overhead trestle bridge, and a quaint temple on the cliff wall. Many of the ghosts and gods of the former Buddha Gate are carved here, looking from afar, several three zhang tall Buddha statues stand in the cliff wall, the Bodhisattva Arhat Heavenly Maiden serves on the side, the Bunsen story of the Buddha Gate, one by one densely connected. Perhaps it was too long, and some of the Buddha statues peeled off their paint, revealing stone tires.

I can't imagine that such a deep mountain and old forest can still hide such a cave temple, it is really amazing!

When Li Xuanji saw the temple, he was obviously in a very good mood, and continued to move forward along the mountain road, even running slightly, almost as fast as a galloping horse. Mo Ling felt incredible that there was such a temple in the deep mountains, and couldn't help but take a few more looks, I have to say that this temple is indeed antique, the cliff stone statues are tall and majestic, and the rising sun is gilding it with a layer of brilliance, like a temple of light and a Buddha dojo.

Mo Ling no longer followed Li Xuanji, flew directly through the canyon air, hid himself in the shade of a tree at the door, and put a few spells in his hand to hide himself tightly. Mo Ling's divine power is no longer what it used to be because of the dragon qi, and some powerful spells can be barely cast, even if Li Xuanji's innate pupils are difficult to find.

Mo Ling waited for Li Xuanji's time to arrive, and observed the surroundings, there was actually a lot of land cultivated outside such a majestic temple, and some vegetable seedlings on it were growing lush and gratifying:

"It can be seen that Buddhism is indeed in a slump, so the temple actually has to support itself with its own hands. ”

Mo Ling whispered, Li Xuanji had already walked to the door of the temple, and without knocking, he directly pushed open the door and walked in, and Mo Ling hurriedly followed.

"Senior brother, senior brother, Huitong is back!"

Li Xuanji's voice was so loud that the entire temple could hear the echo, but Mo Ling was stunned behind him and said with a slight smile:

"This stout and reckless man, his legal name is actually Huitong?" After thinking about it, this guy has a lot of thoughts, and it is okay to be called Huitong!

As soon as Li Xuanji finished speaking, a wooden stick suddenly flew in the temple, the wooden stick was extremely fast, and it hit Li Xuanji's forehead directly, Li Xuanji hurriedly waved his hand to block, threw the wooden stick away, and was happy to say more, but a ring ruler suddenly lightly hit Li Xuanji's forehead:

"How many times have I said that whether you are practicing meditation or doing things, you need to meditate. I can't say much when you're out of the house, but when you go back to Fangcun Temple, why are you still so careless and sloppy?"

A kind-eyed monk was wearing a simple Buddhist robe, holding a precept in his hand, and looked at Li Xuanji who was rubbing his forehead in front of him with a smile.

"Got it, senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, I think you guys are flustered, are you so happy to come back today?"

Although Li Xuanji complained slightly, he didn't show the slightest resentment in his words, he just smiled and looked at his senior brother. Mo Ling was secretly surprised in his heart in the back, and he acted more carefully, just now, even he didn't see clearly how Li Xuanji's senior brother suddenly came to the front.

Li Xuanji chatted with this senior brother for a few words, then changed the topic and said:

"What about the second and fourth senior brothers? I came back today because I have something important to say. ”

"What's the matter, let's eat the meal, today your second senior brother got up early in the morning and said something more, I have a faint feeling, I learned that you were coming back, and I deliberately steamed two more steamed buns and prepared a few more side dishes, all of which are your favorite dishes. ”

Li Xuanji didn't refuse, just nodded happily and followed the senior brother towards the inner courtyard. Mo Ling hesitated a little, this monk didn't look simple, but he gritted his teeth and followed behind him, and sneaked into the backyard through the dense canopy.

There is a four-entry courtyard in the backyard, which looks extremely ordinary, and a monk who looks extremely honest and honest, with a slightly stupid smile on his face, holds ten baskets of steamed buns and walks to a big house, and there is a big table in the big house, on which four or five plates of small dishes are placed. Li Xuanji and the senior brother sat on it, and when they saw the second senior brother who was in charge of cooking, they greeted each other with a smile, and the senior brother did not leak sadness and joy on his face, and silently recited Buddhist scriptures.

"Huijue, you go and call Huijing, ready to eat!"

"Eh, I'll go!"

The second senior brother Huijue smiled and nodded in agreement, touched the scarf, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and opened his mouth wide at the back mountain:

"Fourth Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother is back, everyone is waiting for you to come back for dinner!"

Hui Jue spoke, and Mo Ling only felt a sound wave spread suddenly, shaking people's ears and shaking off the eaves next to him. The senior brother originally recited the scriptures silently, and with a little dust falling silently, he raised his eyebrows slightly, Huijue hurriedly apologized slightly when he saw this, and nodded with a smile, as if to say that his skills are not yet at home, this can shake down the lion roar of the birds in the distant mountains, and actually shake down a few wisps of fly ash beside him, which is really not right.

After Huijue finished yelling, he returned to the house, took out a little rice porridge and half a steamed bun, came to the stone bench outside the dining hall and put it away, and recited the mantra of the Great Cold Forest Food. Hearing the muffled sound of rock cracking coming from the mountain behind, Mo Ling turned his head to look, and could only see a 'ape shadow' shuttling quickly through the forest, and in less than half a moment, he fell into the courtyard with a big jump.

On closer inspection, this young man was naked, his tendon muscles seemed to contain explosive power, and he held an iron rod in his hand, which looked extremely heavy, but he danced like a wooden branch in his hand.

Hui Jing came back and directly inserted the iron rod into the ground, and with a sonorous sound of gold and stone, the iron rod was firmly inserted into the floor, impartial, obviously with great strength.

There are only four people in the temple, but Mo Ling can't see the details of these four people.
