Volume 2 The Road to Immortality Chapter 9 Shocking Ancient Temple

Brother Huhe has respectfully walked to the woman's side, bowed his head respectfully and replied: "Back to the Oriental girl, there are more than 100 steps to welcome guests in Taiyue Temple, which is not suitable for cars and horses. ”

Dongfang Yuqing bowed slightly: "There is General Lao Huhe who has worked hard all the way. The voice was gentle and gentle, like a breeze, gently brushing the ears. The tiger crane brother's thick body trembled a little, and he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of seeing a slight throbbing on his forehead, so he turned around and hurriedly stepped onto the stone steps.

Dongfang Yuqing was surrounded by several female dependents, and she also walked in the middle, her steps were extremely light, her black skirt was fluttering, her waist was swaying, and the family behind her was silently swallowing saliva.

On the cloud steps, Dongfang Yuqing looked at the carved railing Yujie, the clouds were new and green, and he didn't realize that there was a stretch between his eyebrows, which made the world even more moved. The shrewd little girl whispered: "Miss, don't look around, you don't know, those men's eyes are about to fly out when they see Miss." ”

Dongfang Yuqing lowered her eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, let the people in the General's Mansion hear it, it's undignified." ”

The little girl's big eyes rolled for a while, pursed her small mouth, and whispered: "Where there is a young lady, the men only have a young lady in their eyes, and they don't even look at me, it's true." ”

Dongfang Yuqing smiled between her eyebrows, which was infinitely amorous: "When did you start to move your spring heart?" ”

The two of them chuckled, and in the dull footsteps, they seemed extraordinarily light.

Although the stone steps are a little cloudy, but the moss grass, flowing clouds and birds, everywhere is quiet, coupled with the oriental jade love, more than 100 stone steps, it seems to have come to an end in an instant, everyone feels that suddenly, when the meaning is still unfinished, they have arrived in front of an ancient temple. Although it is a red door and green tiles, carved beams and cornices, it looks antique and dark, majestic and solemn, and the oriental jade can't help frowning slightly.

In the hall of Sensen, there is a faint gray shadow of the ancient Buddha, the cigarette smoke is swirling, and the nose is full of sandalwood, showing the grandeur of Buddhism. A dull bell rang throughout the valley, shaking everyone's spirits. Two old monks have walked out of the ancient door, both of them are red-robed, with Buddhist beads hanging from their necks, their hands folded, their eyebrows white, and their eyes clear.

A thin old monk preached: "The Oriental girl can come to the temple to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings, which is really the supreme merit of Taiyue, and the old man is polite." The old monk had a pious face and kind eyes.

Dongfang Yuqing is also a pious return salute: "The master is more polite, a few days of Qing cultivation, there is a lot of disturbance, look at the master Haihan." She looked back at the family beside her, and said: "A merit, may Taiyue incense flourish and protect Qingzhou." At that time, several of the servants carried a heavy box and placed it on the steps. The old monk's eyebrows twitched, and he hurriedly folded his hands and recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, the merits of the Oriental donor are immeasurable." He turned around and stood in front of the door: "Oriental donor, please." ”

Dongfang Yuqing and the little girl entered prettyly, and when they arrived at the door, the little girl turned around and ordered: "Miss should burn incense and worship the Buddha, you wait outside, do not approach and make noise." ”

In the Buddhist temple, the candles are bright, the cigarette smoke is rising, the oriental jade gently removes the veil, revealing a warm and flawless face, this face is like a pool of autumn water, clear and quiet, but a smile and a smile will be full of infinite style, making people forget everything. She knelt lightly in front of a huge ancient Buddha, her phoenix eyes slightly closed, her eyebrows picturesque, and she was silent for a long time. After a while, Hao wrist picked up the bamboo stick, and it shook for a while, with a crisp sound. Dongfang Yuqing picked up the only bamboo stick that fell on the ground, and stared at it for a long time, his eyes blurred, showing a thoughtful look. In the end, he looked sideways and whispered: "Zhu'er, please master." ”

After a while, the thin old monk appeared in front of Dongfang Yuqing with a pious face, took the bamboo stick in her hand, and asked softly, "I don't know what the donor is asking for?" ”

Dongfang Yuqing's lips opened slightly, and he replied indifferently: "Marriage." ”

The old monk's eyes trembled, his stealth showed a touch of surprise, and he instantly regained his composure, and read: "The marriage of the donor has long been determined, so why be persistent." ”

Dongfang Yuqing said indifferently: "It is said that Taiyue has studied all his life and pursued Buddhism, and if the Buddha is persistent, the world should be persistent." ”

Liku's eyebrows trembled, and he sighed: "The bird falls on the mountain, the god will appear, there is a woman in the east, and I am in love." ”

The master seems to have forgotten that this Qingzhou ancient precept has the second half of the sentence. The divine bird flew away, the smoke and clouds dissipated, and the general was abolished, regardless of the previous suspicions. "Oriental jade has autumn water on her face, staring at the bitterness.

He frowned tightly, and the Buddha beads in his hand were shaking uncontrollably: "It seems that in these few lifetimes, the marriage relationship has long been weak, and the vast smoke and clouds will also dissipate by the wind, everything has a fixed number, heaven and earth have a cycle, and a line of love has become a bondage when it comes to the donor." ”

Dongfang Yuqing said calmly: "The master really listens to everything, every word, can you give me a sign now?" ”

Facing the resolute eyes of Dongfang Yuqing, the old monk's dry hands picked up the bamboo sticks, and still reverently pronounced a Buddha name, only to look at it carefully, and after a while, the thin eyes showed a trace of surprise, and it was impossible to maintain the deep meditation for many years.

Dongfang Yuqing was still puzzled and asked, "Master Liku, what is the explanation of this sign?" ”

Liku closed his eyes, it seemed that he was much older in an instant, and the Buddha beads in his hand rotated rapidly, but in his hands they broke instantly, and the Buddha beads shook off, jumping and rolling to the ground. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "The love in the world is really fixed, the world is impermanent, and there will be changes. It seems that the old man is also short-sighted. ”

Li Ku opened his cloudy eyes, a vicissitudes of life, his face had become calm, a kind of detached calm, and continued: "The donor's signature is peculiar, and the old man can't crack it thoroughly for a while. ”

Dongfang Yu's beautiful eyes flowed, and he seemed to be expecting a while and said, "Master, please speak." ”

Li looked at the scattered Buddha beads, and preached with palpitations: "This sign says, the screaming post mountain, the alien flies down, the vermilion bird flies away, and the two lives are in a hurry." ”

Dongfang Yuqing's eyes showed a confused color, and he read silently: "Screaming in the mountain, the alien fell, the Vermilion Bird flew away, and the two lives were lost." Her color changed instantly, and the bright autumn water looked at Liku in surprise: "Screaming on the post mountain, on the post mountain?"

At this time, the bitterness has been silently bent over, the dry hands slowly picked up the scattered Buddha beads one by one, the Oriental Jade is also full of burial, pick up one, both hands hold it to the eyes of the suffering, the autumn frost full of suffering, trembling took the Buddha beads, and said in a deep voice: "The Oriental donor is a distinguished guest of the temple, you can go to the Baicao Garden to fast and bathe, wash away the dust, and practice meditation." ”

Oriental jade said goodbye and drifted away. Leaving the suffering, he silently recited Amitabha, and said to himself with a sad face: "Screaming Yishan, it seems that Taiyue will be difficult to stay away from the red dust after all." ”

The Baicao Garden of Taiyue Temple, the perennial fragrance of flowers is overflowing, it is surrounded by layers of slender green bamboo, the small bridge and flowing water inside, the moon shadow of the fairy pavilion, the sound of cicadas is elegant, it is really like a fairyland on earth, but it is difficult for ordinary pilgrims to enter here, because it is specially set up for some powerful housekeepers in Qingzhou, but it does not mean that Taiyue Temple is more powerful, looking down on the common people, just because such a garden landscape costs a lot to build, and only those rich businessmen and magnates have this strength, those people want to turn away the injustices of the previous life, in order to seek inner peace, is willing to spend a lot of money to build such a pure land. Inside, the release pond, the pure spirit pond, and the Siguo forest are all pleasant scenery and can bring a peaceful place.

On this day, the wind and the sun are beautiful, outside the arch of the Baicao Garden, the tiger and crane brothers are dressed in strong suits, holding swords leisurely patrolling outside the blue brick wall, watching several female dependents busy in and out, holding in their hands are women's bathing things, the tiger and crane seem to be able to smell a burst of fat powder fragrance outside the wall with the wind, the two expressions are solemn, but a pair of eyes from time to time through the window fence, secretly slanted a few glances, eager to see through all the barriers.

In the pure spirit pool, a dense mist rises and swirls, the fragrance of orchid is emitted with bursts of smoke, in the soft white mist, the oriental jade love with long hair scattered in the clear pool water, light fluttering, the water blurred a peach-like face and a brocade-like snow-white skin. She held her hands and gently stroked her delicate ketone body, and her eyebrows seemed to be a little sad, and she was in a daze. The girl next to her seemed to have a little throbbing when she saw such a picture and such a body, and she only listened to Dongfang Yuqing's soft instructions: "You all go down, and leave Zhu'er to serve alone." ”

The mother-in-law all went down, and the pearl girl scooped a scoop of pool water and gently poured it on Dongfang Yuqing's long hair and snow-like shoulders and neck, and her big eyes turned excitedly: "Miss, why did you say that you were born so good-looking, seeing you like this, I don't dare to say that I am a woman." ”

Dongfang Yuqing's nose flashed a chuckle: "Are you not a woman, are you a stinky man?" ”

Zhu'er said mischievously: "If I were a man, I would definitely be fascinated by you." ”

Dongfang Yuqing's eyebrows stretched, her white jade-like body leaned against the edge of the pool, and said faintly: "I envy you tightly, even you can choose, but I was born destined to belong to only one person, I can only watch from afar, I can't get close, what's the use of being born with this skin." ”

Zhu'er saw that the master sighed, and also looked bitter, and asked softly: "Miss, the Dongfang family has been glorious for generations, everyone admires it, and the General's Mansion is a royal family, and the power is tilted towards Qingzhou, but you are the glory of these two families, isn't it good?" ”

Dongfang Yuqing smiled coldly: "Okay, did you say okay?" I have lived in seclusion since I was a child, I don't ask about mortal dust, except for what you can talk about, there is no other interest around, even if you go out of the pavilion, it's just from one cage to another, there are women in the East, a lifetime of love, but it's just a good story of that life, to now, the daughter of the East is no longer the original mountain and field spirit girl, and the general is not the Suzaku god general back then, the past love has become today's rights and desires, Zhu'er, are you really good? ”

After listening to this, Zhu'er lowered her head silently, thoughtful......

While the master and servant were whispering by the poolside, they didn't notice that a fresh breeze slowly blew, rolling up a slight whirlpool on the edge of the pool, and the clouds and mist above Taiyue Temple surged in a gust of wind, almost instantly obscuring the lazy sunshine. The flowing clouds rushed and rolled like flocculents, falling down as soft as silk in the void, and just submerged the entire Baicao Garden of Taiyue, fluttering like a dream, and the petals in the middle were dancing and fluttering.

Dongfang Yuqing's phoenix eyes trembled, looking at the void suspiciously, with a look of surprise in her eyes, Zhu'er said in a daze: "Miss, it's going to change the sky." The words fell.

I saw that the wind and clouds in the void changed color, rolling up a powerful hurricane, and the whirlpool in the flowing clouds flew around, forming a huge and deep cloud hole, which exuded a strong and powerful aura, like a flame with a desolate aura, flying down, and the pure spirit pool instantly rolled up the waves of water, rushing straight to the void. Dongfang Yuqing and Zhu'er were coquettish, only to hear a bird's cry in the cloud cave, like a thunderbolt piercing the sky, a flowing cloud flying straight down like a waterfall, drawing a virtual shadow like smoke, falling directly into the pure spirit pool, rolling up a large splash, and falling like rain.

The wind and clouds disappeared in a moment, and only a swallow-like exclamation was heard in the Pure Spirit Pool......

The instantaneous change of color in Taiyue Temple was like thunder, making everyone unable to react, and then dissipated in a moment. The strange celestial phenomena in it, but also make all the monks suspicious, fog and rain, rainbows, cloud caves, birds, coupled with a burst of exclamation of Oriental jade, so that everyone seems to be uneasy, fortunately Taiyue Temple is far away on the post mountain, there are few people, otherwise, it must be another legend in the whole Qingzhou.

Sitting quietly in the Buddha hall, the sound of the Zen sound of the wooden fish full of rhythm, suddenly opened his eyes, his eyebrows trembled, but his whole body trembled, his eyes were deep, and he was shocked.

The tiger and crane brothers who stood outside the fence patrolling, after the celestial phenomenon, had already changed from leisurely to impatient, the two of them turned around in front of the arch, but they did not dare to enter the courtyard, but they obviously heard Dongfang Yuqing's call, and could not confirm her safety, the two of them turned in place with a beating heart, this is the future general's wife, if it is a little mistaken in front of their brothers, it is not a joke. The two could only shout violently outside the door: "What's the situation inside, Dongfang girl, are you okay?" ”

In the Pure Spirit Pool, a pool of clear water has been swept clean. Oriental jade is only lightly wrapped in a thin veil, the delicate ketone body is concave and convex, the upper body is like the snow of the shoulder and neck condensation like the fragrance of the fragrance, the lower pair of jade lotus-like calves show infinite temptation, the long hair hangs down to the waist, the water droplets drip one by one, especially a pair of bare little feet, curled up like two jade silkworms, it is simply picturesque.

At this moment, she was looking at a slender young man in front of her, her delicate face was full of anger and infinite shyness. This young man just a moment ago, when the wind and clouds suddenly changed, he suddenly fell into the pure spirit pool, Dongfang Yuqing was still bathing naked, defenseless, but fortunately hurriedly pulled a thin veil to cover his shy parts.

The young man fell suddenly, his whole body was damp, and he was extremely embarrassed, looking at everything in front of him with confused eyes, full of surprise, and then seeing the spring light of the oriental jade in front of him, he didn't feel a burst of heat on his face, and he was busy lowering his eyebrows.

Zhu'er was already frightened by the scene just now, and was speechless for a long time, and after a while, she shook her head a few times, her eyes regained their agility, and she looked at the man in front of her in horror, and couldn't help shouting: "Come on, come on, there are assassins here, quick-"

Before she finished shouting, she was gently covered with her jade hand, Zhu'er was stunned, and said with a shocked face: "Miss, what are you doing, why don't you call me someone?" ”

Dongfang Yuqing frowned and whispered: "Screaming in the mountain, the alien flies down......" She instantly glanced at the young man in disbelief, and when she saw the young man's eyes dodging, she didn't realize that her cheeks were crimson, and she hurriedly covered her hands on her high chest, and said angrily: "Turn around." ”

The young man hurriedly stood with his back, and Dongfang Yuqing glanced at Zhu'er angrily: "What are you doing when you turn around, stupid girl, don't hurry up and get your clothes." ”

Zhu'er laughed dryly, hurriedly ran to retrieve her clothes, and was about to put it on for the young lady, but was stopped by Dongfang Yuqing, and whispered softly in Zhu'er's ear, Zhu'er glanced at the young man standing on his back, hesitated for a while, but in Dongfang Yuqing's bright gaze, he still left happily.

After a burst of dressing, I only heard Zhu'er shouting loudly at the door: "My young lady is fine, the two generals can rest assured, just because of a gust of wind just now, they were disturbed, and their clothes are all wet, and I can leave when I pick up the long shirt, and please lead the two generals to avoid the guards for the time being, and leave to rest." ”

The nervous mood of the two tiger and crane brothers finally calmed down, and they thought to themselves that when the girl came out of the bath, it was indeed inconvenient to stand and stop, and she lost her grace, so she left in response. Zhu'er rolled her eyes a few times, hurriedly walked away, and hurried back a moment later with a package, looked left and right, and ran in. After a while, but seeing the oriental jade, with the support of the pearl girl and a mother-in-law, he walked out of the arch.

The night of Taiyue Temple is quiet and deep, in addition to the crisp echo of the distant wooden fish, a crescent moon is also shyly visiting from the branches. The Tiger Crane brothers are now in an antique attic, sitting and drinking freely, chatting and gossiping to pass the loneliness of the mountain temple, for people like them, they are not afraid of fierce battles on the battlefield, they are not afraid of the wind and sand, but this kind of calm and loneliness is undoubtedly a kind of torment for them.

"Brother Tiger, don't you think that gust of wind is a little weird today?" Brother Crane asked as he took a sip of wine.

Brother Tiger's face was dark, he nodded slightly, looked at the night sky and said, "It's just that the wind is weird, didn't Brother Crane find anything more special?" ”

Brother Crane lowered his eyebrows and held the wine jug, his eyes were full of mystery: "Did Brother Tiger also hear it?" ”

Brother Tiger glanced at him, holding back his mouth and sneering: "Nonsense, such a big movement, even a deaf person can hear it." ”

Brother Crane took another sip of wine, looked at Brother Tiger cautiously, and said tentatively: "Brother Tiger, what do you think that cry is?" ”

Brother Tiger's eyes trembled, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Crane thinks what the sound is, then the brother thinks what the sound is." ”

"Do you want to report to the general?" Brother Crane said with a deep groan.
