Volume 2 Chapter 5: Adventures in the Cave
Ling Xuanxin was thrown heavily onto the stone platform at the entrance of the cave, and the pain made Ling Xuanxin feel a lot clearer.
"What kind of place is this? This cave is halfway up the mountain, how can I go up? Ling Xuanxin thought in his heart, it was really easy to come down and difficult to go up, Ling Xuanxin looked down, the mountain was hazy, plus the clouds and mist in the mountain were slightly dispersed, and there was a hazy fog shadow, I felt that it was ten thousand feet high from the bottom of the mountain. Looking up again, the top is also high and not topless, and it feels parallel to the sky in the hazy fog shadows.
"Anyone? Who saved me? Can I come in?" Ling Xuanxin asked three questions in a row, but no echo was heard in the cave, which showed that this hole was also unfathomable.
But there was no other way but to go inside, so Ling Xuanxin had no choice but to go to the cave.
I feel like I've been walking for a long time, and there is still no response in the cave, is there no one in the cave? There was no one to save me, Ling Xuan muttered in his heart, but doubts were doubts, because there was no way back from behind, so he could only continue to walk.
Ling Xuanxin only felt physically and mentally exhausted, an hour, two hours, a day, two days, he just kept walking endlessly, he was not hungry or tired, just going forward endlessly without a purpose, he even wanted to give up, go back or die here, but after all, he had come to this point, and there was no other way but to move forward.
Just kept moving forward, going farther and farther, getting darker and darker, walking and walking, Ling Xuanxin felt that he had grown taller and stronger. I don't feel tired, I don't feel sleepy. Five-year-old Ling Xuanxin walked like this for a long time, so long that he thought of the butterflies on the mountain, the rabbits and small animals on the mountain, thought of the daily training, carried water, listened to stories, and thought of the wind and the moon in the temple. It feels like years have gone by like this?!
I don't know how long it took, but I finally felt a breeze, although the wind was not strong, but the wind showed that the hole had an end. It also gave him hope.
Finally the dazzling light came out of the front, and finally came to the end, the exit of the cave was beautiful, there was a dazzling light, a vast meadow, insects and birds singing and flowers, which he had never been to, and he had never even seen the world outside the mountain, all this was so novel, it made him forget the time.
He stepped in, and was in this beautiful world, the world on the other side of the cave was so beautiful, and Ling Xuan's heart lingered. He ran with the butterflies, rolled in the grass, and completely regained the vitality of a child. The loneliness and despair that had been all the time were released in this moment. He vented his emotions in this vast world.
At this time, a figure appeared in front of Ling Xuanxin, the figure moved, and suddenly gave birth to a sharp sword and stabbed at Ling Xuanxin, Ling Xuanxin rolled and hid to the side, and looked at it, it turned out to be Master Xuanle. The master changed from his former kind appearance, his eyes became angry, and his expression looked very hideous.
"Master! ——”
"Criminal, have you broken the rules of the Zen generation, Zen Buddhism has always been hidden, no one can break the rules, and you can't either." Master said, "Since you have broken the rules, then in the name of the master of the Zen sect, I will give you a death to apologize for your sins." ”
Ling Xuanxin stood in place in a daze, Mu Ne couldn't make a sound in shock, waiting for the master to stab the last sword, the sword reached the chest, and was suddenly blocked by a long stick, and then the master and the black shadow fought, it was only a few rounds in an instant, and then the master was hit hard by a black shadow and fell to the ground, and the sword also fell next to Ling Xuanxin, straight into the ground.
Ling Xuanxin was caught off guard by the sudden change, and when he looked at it, he saw a majestic elder in front of him, also with gray eyebrows and beard, and his face was majestic but majestic.
"You! - Kill my master? ”
"I saved you." The elder said calmly. "Then do you want to avenge your master, here with me, I don't allow others to kill in front of me, this is my rule. Since he's your master, boy, are you going to challenge me? ”
"No....... I am not your opponent, you are my savior, and your kindness and spirit should also be remembered in my heart, but Master has the grace of nurturing me, and Master's life cannot be violated, and this kindness can only be repaid by death. Since you have a lifesaver for me, and I am no match for you. The master is here, and Ling Xuanxin can only die, and now that the master is gone, Ling Xuanxin can only die. Ling Xuan's heart was shaken by the sudden change, and there was no spirit in his eyes in an instant, like a walking corpse.
He slowly walked towards the sword stuck in the ground, slowly drew the sword, and slashed it towards his neck.
