Volume 1 The Coming Storm Chapter 2 No Spiritual Roots? Let's go straight to the hanging

Xia Yu was exposed to jade since he was a child because his father was a Kunyu merchant. Some of the flowers and jade, the ability to find the python stone is still there. Although his father hoped that Xia Yu had spiritual roots and could join the army. But Xia Yu prefers to be a jade merchant. At ease, rich and rich.

The next evening, Xia Yu got off the bus in a small town called Bufang Town. I found a fairly clean hotel.

Although it was nearly dusk, the streets were more lively and crowded.

"Boss, I heard that our town's economy used to be quite average, but now it feels quite lively?" Xia Yu inquired about the innkeeper.

"In the past, Bufang Town was indeed a small town, the economy was not only average, I was not afraid of your jokes, it was difficult to eat enough, but in recent years, the price of Kunyu has risen sharply, and there are many high-quality jade mines in the mountains, so the life of the town has improved."

"Boss, congratulations, there are so many people now, are you going to go out of the night market?" Xia Yu pointed to the street and continued to ask.

"You kid don't even know this, it seems that you are not a person who gambles and sells jade, so why are you here here?" The boss asked, puzzled.

"The kid went to the temple on this mountain to make a wish." Xia Yu thought about taking the opportunity to ask about the temple.

"Oh, you said you don't want to build a temple, no one has mentioned it for many years." The boss sighed

"What's the matter, is this temple gone?" Xia Yu hurriedly asked, for fear that this temple would be gone, and he would not be able to go back.

"Hehe, that's not true, it's just a sigh, I haven't been there for years," the boss replied with a smile.

"Startle me, it seems that this boss likes to breathe when he speaks," Xia Yu said secretly.

"This temple is not repaired, a long time ago there was still some fame, and then everyone was busy making money, picking jade, few people went to the temple, it is said that now the incense is not good, most of the monks are gone, and it has become an empty temple."

"The empty temple is fine, it is estimated that the incense money is still saved, as long as the temple is still there, you can go back to pay the business with your two heads" Xia Yu mentally worried. The boss didn't talk about the temple anymore, but talked about the night market

"Over the years, there have been more and more people selling and gambling jade in the town. Slowly, this night market has emerged, and the street is full of jade trading, which is very lively! ”

"It's so lively, then I'll go shopping too, boss, you're busy!"

Although Xia Yu is also a jade family, he has always focused on his studies before. While looking at the jade, he confirmed some of the mantras and essentials of jade viewing that his father had told him before, and he didn't go back to sleep until the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu prepared melons and fruits, burned incense with vegetarian food, and entered the mountain according to the guidance of the innkeeper.

The mountain road looked like no one had come for a long time, the stone slabs were broken, the weeds were overgrown, and it was winding and difficult. Even if Xia Yu's physical strength was good, it was only in the afternoon that he found a small temple with only four or five halls among the weeds. The temple looks dilapidated and dilapidated, and the three words "no temple" at the main gate are also hanging obliquely.

"Anyone?" Xia Yu shouted twice at the door, and when he saw that no one answered, he shouted twice more and then pushed the door in directly.

"There's really no one left, and the monks who are leaving don't say that they have locked the door!" Xia Yu entered the temple while muttering.

"Also, what kind of door is locked, what can be lost in the temple, just this mountain road, tired to death, not worth it."

Xia Yu walked around, and the temple people went to the empty building. The Buddha statue in the main hall is also golden and dim. All the houses either collapsed or the roof was blown off by the wind, an ancient well was covered with moss, and there was a cave behind the temple, about two meters deep, and there was not even a Buddha statue in it.

"Dad has to let me burn incense in the morning, it seems that I have to live here tonight, fortunately, I brought the power bank, it doesn't matter! Deal with it for one night, and go down the mountain tomorrow morning when you are done. Xia Yu pondered as he picked up his things.

It is said that the wind and rain in the mountains are unpredictable, and as soon as it is dusk, I see a large black cloud on the side of the mountain, and the wind is also cold, and it must be a cold rain coming.

"It's over, if nothing else, the accident came, and the weather forecast is really unreliable."

Xia Yu secretly cursed the weather forecast as he began to look around for shelter.

"The house is broken, the wall is down, and it is still the tuyere, this one is not good."

"All the roof tiles are gone, and there are only wooden beams left, not this one."

"It's not good here, it's easy to be washed away by water!"

"It's not good here, it's easy to be struck by lightning!"

Xia Yu was looking for a place to roost tonight, and the raindrops of beans fell down.

"It's okay here, just stay here for one night!"

In the end, Xia Yu came to a cave on the mountain wall behind the temple to take shelter from the rain. The cave is high inside and low outside, making it a good place to shelter from the rain.

Xia Yu hastily ate some things and leaned against the edge of the cave to enjoy the rain. Look at the rain and the sun, like a dragon rolling.

"Oh, it's not easy to make a wish, I knew I was here with a padded jacket."

Xia Yu was chattering while being distracted.

"There's no signal in the mountains, and mobile phones don't work. Stupidly waiting for the rain to stop, is it because I'm stupid waiting for the rain to stop, or is it a bit silly to wait for the rain to stop?。。。 Damn, why am I in a daze again" A cold wind blew, interrupting Xia Yu's distraction.

The temperature in the mountains varies greatly, plus heavy rainfall. This meeting has changed from a scorching heat to a cold winter. Even if this smoke and rain was picturesque, Xia Yu didn't have the heart to enjoy the rain, and felt that one of his organs was frozen and curled up together.

Xia Yu moved to the innermost part of the cave, hoping that the temperature would be higher. But after a while, the cold slowly invaded the cave.

"It's still a little cold, miserable! I also want to go to Jiangcheng in college, so that I can be closer to Yao Min, and there are more opportunities. In the future, I will open a Kunyu shop in Jiangcheng and let Yao Min be my treasurer... Thinking about it, Xia Yu entered a state of daze with empty eyes, but he was soon awakened by freezing again.

"It's a little unbearable, if there is no rain, you can still go out for a run, this is not easy to do, what can I do if I really freeze to death here, unless there is a fool to repay my vows tomorrow, forget it, I will collect the corpse."

Xia Yu began to get anxious, after all, it was not a fuss that it was really going to freeze in this deep mountain.

"I used to hear that monks can avoid the cold and heat when they meditate, and they can endure hunger and thirst, but I don't know if it's true or false, I also try it, I hope the Buddha will manifest it."

Xia Yu knew that being in a daze and being in a state were completely two different concepts, but at this time, there was no other way, to temporarily hug the Buddha's feet, and it didn't matter whether the feet were washed or not, whether there was athlete's foot.

Xia Yu tightened his clothes, faced the stone wall, crossed his legs and knees, sat upright, emptied his brain, and closed his eyes.

"I don't want anything, I don't want anything... Xia Yu controlled his thoughts.

"My sister is rummaging through my things again, Mom, are you in charge?"

A cold wind blew, and Xia Yu opened his eyes, obviously this time it was a failure.

Because he always likes to think blindly and wander away when he is young, Xia Yu always controls himself to prevent his mind from wandering. But it always ended in failure. However, this time, not only can you not be distracted, but you also have to reach the level of concentration, which is even more difficult.

Suddenly, Xia Yu had a flash of inspiration, and remembered the basic cultivation mantra given by the clan, so he took out his mobile phone and flipped out the content.

"What kind of cultivation method is this, isn't it just to get a meditation posture, with the five hearts facing up, and then perceive the cosmic energy, and then control it? This is different from the martial arts I practiced after watching martial arts dramas when I was a child! You might even be able to settle down! I'll try it first! ”

Xia Yu sat up with his heart in the sky as he spoke. Meditate carefully, perceive.

"Does Yao Min like me a little more, or is it the top student in the next class?" Think too much and fail.

"The roast goose on South Street is the most delicious, and every time I buy it, I let my little sister eat the delicious parts." fail

"The Tao is the way, the very way, the name is famous, the very name, the nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, famous, the mother of all things, what's the next word?" fail

"Is there a problem with the method of entering the settlement? Or have problems sitting? "Failed

"Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, what is the dust, what is Bodhi?" fail

With the failure over and over again, Xia Yu unconsciously became relaxed, his breathing became soothing, and he actually entered a state of light sleep, but his brain was still running.

Finally, half-asleep, the soul seems to have entered an inexplicable state.

"What is this place?" Xia Yu felt trapped in a narrow, dark space, unable to move. But he could not see his body, nor his limbs, nor his head.

To be precise, it's more like your soul is trapped and has nowhere to exert yourself. I can't see, hear, or touch, but I'm really trapped inside.

"Am I asleep? It doesn't feel right, I'm trying to cultivate it! Even if it works, shouldn't it be because of the aura? Why do I feel like my soul is out of my body, is it the other way around?" Xia Yu thought.

In the middle of the night, in the cave behind the ruined temple, there was a person sitting cross-legged, his breathing almost stopped at this time, and the white light lingered on his body, and there was a white air flow in and out of the pores, like a fairy, beautiful.

If someone opens Xia Yu's closed eyes at this time, they will find that Xia Yu's eyes at this time are empty and his pupils have become larger, but the strange thing is that these pupils are actually white. Coupled with the fairy light surrounding, it looks like a fairy and a demon, which is very reasonable and non-scientific to solve.

"Is it a dream? Dreamland? Incubus? Dying? Xenodimensional? Out-of-body? , It's not dreams and nightmares, the state is completely wrong, I haven't experienced NDE, don't think about it first! It should be a kind of out-of-body experience," Xia Yu positioned himself in his current state.

"What's out of this space?" The state of no hands and feet is useless, the only thing that exists is the perception of feelings,

Xia Yu came up stubbornly, gathered the feeling of his whole body, like an invisible vision, invisible hearing, invisible power, all his strength hit like a point of that eggshell, this force is like a swamp.

Finally, when Xia Yu felt that his strength was about to run out, he broke through the shackles and reached the outside world. In an instant, the scene outside came into Xia Yu's eyes. Before he could think about it, an oppressive force appeared in this world, directly attacking Xia Yu's consciousness body, Xia Yu only felt a sharp pain in his consciousness, and then the whole state disappeared.

Xia Yu, who was meditating, returned to normal, and there was no longer fluorescent surrounds on his body, he slowly opened his eyes, looked up, and muttered, "Rain, is it still falling?" ”

When I looked at the stone wall above my head, I saw the stars in the sky as if there was substance.

"! Hell yes! Xia Yu lost his mind for a while

"This is ... Perspective, am I cultivating the truth? Xia Yu looked at the sky through the stone wall, and the whole person was stupid,

"No, Lao Tzu is hanging, haha!" Before the laughter was over, Xia Yu fell backwards and fell asleep.
