Because of the delay, Sun Li and Zhao Qian hurried to the top of the mountain, but it was already evening when they arrived at the Xiegu Temple.

After several dynasties, the scale of the temple gradually increased. Looking around from the mountain gate, I saw twilight, the sunset fell lonely, thousands of peaks stood in a forest, and the broken geese flew quickly. The sunset reflects the mountain tops, and the mountains and trees become thicker and thicker. Withered vines hang all over the high cliffs, and strange flowers bloom all over the stream. The temple wall is built according to the situation, and the shade and dampness are covered with moss; The eaves of the mountain temple are grandiose, and the iron bell rings because of the wind. The forehead of the gate plate is engraved with three big characters of "Xiegu Temple" with the seal body, and the couplet is written on the book "Heavenly Master and Human Teacher, illusory but not illusory" under the book "Mahayana Hinayana and Hinayana, empty vacuum".

When he arrived at the main hall, Sun Li lit the incense candles, prayed and inserted the large incense burner. Zhao Qian bought a lot of incense and candles from the temple and burned them all in one go.

Sun Lidao: "Brother Zhao doesn't have to be like this, the so-called sincerity is spiritual, as long as the Buddha and Bodhisattva feel our sincerity." ”

Zhao Gan said: "You are pedantic, you don't burn more incense when you ask someone to do things, and it is insincere to deduct and search." ”

After Zhao Gan's squeeze, Sun Li also felt that his statement was a little sour, to put it bluntly, he wanted to spend a little money and do big things. Thinking about it like this, I don't feel that I smile bitterly and sigh again and again.

Sun Lizheng was thinking about it, and suddenly heard a "clang" sound, turned his head to look, and it turned out that someone had broken the boy next to the Guanyin statue on one side.

Zhao Qian said: "This child-sending Guanyin is the most popular among the public, and it is rumored that local women who want to give birth take a red rope and tie it to the boy's leg, and they will soon be able to conceive." It's broken, but it's in trouble. ”

Sun Li said: "If you break a magnetic puppet in the mortal world, there will be no less immortal in the sky." ”

Zhao Gan said: "This is a bad statement, you see which immortal in this hall is not man-made." I'll donate one to them next time. ”

After entering the incense, Sun Li Zhao Qian tied the cloth bag containing his wish to the branches of the big tree in the courtyard, and the low part of the tree has been full of cloth bags and streamers.

"Brother Sun, look, there's a 'long-lived chicken' here!" Zhao Gan was squatting on the ground, stabbing an old hen in the bamboo cage with a folding fan in his hand, the old hen seemed to be meditating, and let Zhao Qian play with it but not move.

Sun Li bent down to look and saw a wooden plaque nailed to the bamboo cage, on which the words "Changsheng Chicken" were indeed written.

Sun Lidao: "I've heard of the people who worship the Buddha statue of Guanyin, the immortal tablet, the one who lights the everlasting lamp, and the first time I saw the 'immortal chicken', it's weird." It doesn't look like a typo. ”

Zhao Qian said: "How do you say this? ”

Sun Lidao: "Legend has it that there was a thorn named Song Chuzong in the past, who once bought a chicken to crow, he liked it very much, and he cared for it very much, and kept it under the window in a cage. Suddenly, one day, the chicken talked like a human being, and talked with Song Chuzong about the scriptures, and his remarks were extremely insightful. The two of them communicated all day long, and Song Chuzong's debating skills improved greatly. But that's a long-singing chicken, not a long-born chicken. ”

Zhao Gan said: "Could it be that the monks in the temple raised it to eat, and they are afraid of being discovered, so they hide it from people?" ”

"Shhhhh Sun Li reminded in a low voice.

"Ah, there's a giant bird over there, look, look!" Zhao Qiandao.

Sun Li looked in the direction of Zhao Gan's finger, looked at it for a while, and said, "I think it's a big kite, and there seems to be a wire wheel underneath." ”

Zhao Qian said: "I look like a giant bird, as if there is still a person flying." ”

Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao is really good at laughing, he is so tall, if he is a human, he would have been scared to death." ”

Zhao Qiandao: "I was asked by my father to eat more snake gall bladder since I was a child, and my eyes are very good, and I will never be mistaken." ”

Sun Li wanted to go down the mountain and go home, but Zhao Qian said that first, his legs and feet were sore from walking, and second, he was going down the mountain to walk at night, which was not safe, so it was better to rest for the night. Sun Li thought about it, instead of rushing back in a hurry, it was better to stay overnight in the ancient temple. It is rare to hear the morning bell and dusk drum closely, and to listen to the Sanskrit sound at night. So he told the governor and monk that he would stay in the wing room for the night. Zhao Qian asked Yuanbao to rush back to report to the two families, and come back to serve the next day.

Dinner is green vegetables, tofu and white rice, not to mention oil, water, and salt. Zhao Qian picked up two vegetable leaves with chopsticks and said in a low voice: "This is too light, my dog will probably dislike it." ”

Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao can barely eat some, otherwise he will be hungry at night." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhao Qian squeezed his eyes at Sun Li and said, "Let's talk about the night at night." ”

After dinner, the two went back to the wing room, passing by a bamboo fence, which was densely packed with a bamboo forest, Zhao Qian looked inside and said: "What's behind this, I didn't see which door to enter." ”

"You can't enter here, don't linger!" A passing monk said in a rather stern tone.

Night. Sun Li rummaged through the bookcase, and Zhao Qian leaned on the bed and ate melon seeds. Suddenly, he said, "Brother Sun, let's climb over the bamboo fence and have a look when the chickens don't croak and the dogs don't croak in the middle of the night." ”

Sun Li said: "What is there to see? Haven't you seen it all during the day? ”

Zhao Qian said: "Have you forgotten the bamboo forest we passed by just now?" The monk is so nervous, there must be a ghost inside, maybe there is something hidden in the traitorous department, let's go and see what the hell is going on? ”

Sun Lidao: "I guess it's either the bone tower in the temple, or the place where the precious Dharma scriptures are stored, and it is natural that outsiders are not allowed to enter and exit at will." ”

"What you said also makes sense," Zhao Gan nodded, he saw Sun Li start to read and said, "In the academy, you study every day, and now you don't take a break, aren't you afraid of exhausting your head?" ”

Sun Li said: "This is an idle book, it doesn't tire the brain at all, hahaha." ”

"What idle book?" Zhao Qian asked.

Sun Li threw the book over, Zhao Gan caught it, and then read to the candlelight: ""The Story of Returning the Soul, it doesn't mean anything when you look at it...... Come Brother Sun, I'll tell you a story. ”

Zhao Qian shook the melon seed shell on his sleeve, walked over and dragged a chair, sat down in front of Sun Li and said, "It is said that the wife of the village chief of a village has just died and has not yet been buried. At dusk, the children of the guardian heard music in the air in a trance, and slowly floated into the courtyard, and then looked at the corpse where it was stopped, and it moved gently! Soon, the music was already ringing in the room, and the female corpse suddenly sat up from the funeral bed and danced to the music! The family was so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe. ”

"When the music came out of the door, the zombie fell to the ground with a 'poof', and after a while got up and went out again, jumping all the way to follow the music. The family was very frightened, the moon was already dark at that time, how could they dare to pursue it. At the second watch in the evening, the village chief came back from outside after finishing his errands, and when he heard that his dead wife had turned into a zombie and left with the music, he couldn't help but be furious. ”

The village chief walked into a mass grave and walked another five or six miles, getting darker and darker, when he faintly heard music on a cypress tree. In the dark barren night, in the pine forest with phosphorus fire, a zombie is dancing alone around a tree! As a husband, the village chief was not afraid of his zombie wife, and he shouted his wife's name a few times, and the zombie slowly turned around and smiled at his husband...... The village chief lifted the mulberry branch and hit it, and the zombie wife fell to the ground in response, and the music gradually stopped, and the village chief took the zombie smear and went home. ”

After listening to this, Sun Li found that the corners of his mouth were grinning in fright, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

After speaking, Zhao Qian smiled and said, "I'll show you something good." I saw him take out a roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves and a pot of wine from the baggage left by the ingot: "Fortunately, I kept a hand, otherwise I would really have to eat his green vegetables and tofu today." Come on, come on, you and I taste wine and talk about heroes, and just go to sleep after drinking. ”

Sun Li still had palpitations, and said for a while: "No wonder you didn't eat much for dinner, this duck is wrapped so tightly and it's not broken." ”

Zhao Gan raised the duck in front of him and sniffed it, "It doesn't seem to smell anything else." ”

Sun Li said: "It doesn't seem appropriate for us to drink and eat meat here, after all, this is a pure land of Buddhism, and it is not appropriate to be seen." ”

Zhao Qian persuaded: "We are not monks, so we don't need to abide by any rules and precepts. Besides, let's close the door and eat quietly, can the monks outside still be able to find it? ”

"Having said that...... Sun Li still wanted to shirk, but unexpectedly a duck leg was stuffed by Zhao Gan in his hand.

After eating, Sun Li carefully cleaned up the mess and wiped the table again. Zhao Gan said: "Come on, I'll throw the duck bones, you have the guts, you must be afraid of going out and running into monsters, hahahahaha." ”

Sleeping until midnight, Sun Li's stomach "gurgling" kept ringing, he couldn't think about it, it couldn't be that the duck meat was bad, he wanted to go to the toilet, but when he looked outside, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and then he remembered the story that Zhao Qian told before, it was even more terrifying. However, the stomach turned over the river and the sea, one after another, hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't resist the discomfort, Sun Li put on his pants and ran to the toilet.

When I came back, my whole body was smooth and brisk, but when I saw the bright moon hanging high, the four fields were silent, and the night breeze was cool, Sun Li's spirit was lifted, and he remembered that Su Dongpo and Zhang Huaimin visited Chengtian Temple at night, and couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated.

Suddenly, a night owl's "chirping" voice interrupted his thoughts, "Mother often said, it's not good to hear night owls barking, it's better to go back to the house and sleep." Sun Li thought about it and quickened his pace.

Sun Li's foot was deeper and one step shallow, and suddenly "snapped" and tripped over an object, he touched it and looked at it in the moonlight, it looked like a bowl, it was smaller for eating, and one size larger for tea, and there seemed to be some words on it. Sun Lizheng wondered, thinking to himself why the monks in this temple were so sloppy and threw the dishes everywhere. Suddenly, a woman behind me whispered: "Thank you for the rescue, the little woman is polite." ”

For a time, the hero saved the beauty, and the beauty had nothing to repay, so he had to promise each other, so he was talented and beautiful, and the good couple was natural, and the red sleeves were fragrant and read at night, and then the champion and the first, entered the cabinet and went out of the territory to worship the prime minister, the glory of the ancestors, and the yin wife and the child...... Filled with Sun Li's mind, he settled down, and said while slowly turning around, "The little lady is polite." Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he bumped into a person's stomach, and when he looked up, he hurriedly shouted: "Monster! ”

The other party flashed around Sun Li's back, covered his mouth with one hand, strangled his neck with the other hand, and stumbled under his feet, knocking Sun Li to the ground. Sun Li struggled desperately, but his small body was powerless and couldn't move at all.

"Don't make a noise from the benefactor, if you invite a bald donkey to lower me again, then my life will be at rest." The fat woman pressed on it was almost pleading, and tears fell on Sun Li's face like beads of broken threads.

Sun Li's struggle was ineffective, so he had to give up. He reminded himself to be calm, and the most important thing at the moment was to let the other party get off his body quickly, otherwise he would really be crushed to death for a while.

The fat woman felt that Sun Li was not so flustered, so she continued: "If the benefactor can promise not to shout loudly, I will let you go, and if it is okay, you can nod." ”

Sun Li hurriedly nodded, so the fat woman slowly let go of Sun Li. In the moonlight, he saw that the fat woman weighed about 300 pounds, like a hill.
