Twenty miles to the north, there is no wind through the peach forest. The peach forest is lush and lush. On Peach Mountain, how deep is the peach forest? Mountain peach fat, how many bent branches are bent?

Ye Cang pulled the peach branch down with his feet, and in his other hand he held the dead peach wood that he picked up somewhere, and there was a barb at the other end of the dead wood, which just hooked off the red mountain peach that could not be picked.

Ye Cang looked up at the mountain peach on the top of the peach tree and sighed slightly, the taller the mountain peach grew, the more bright red it was, and the less astringent it was.

Ye Cang sighed and said, "It doesn't know where it went?" Things that used to be handy have become difficult for a while. ”

It's like the Master said, "Sometimes it's like this, when you're around you, it's normal, and when you leave, things around you don't get satisfied." ”

Ye Cang looked at the peach tree and shook his head: "The peach branch is too brittle, you can't go up, the old abbot said that the peach mountain tomb is three thousand, don't step on it, don't be surprised, I'm afraid of disturbing the ancestors." ”

Ye Cang got up and carried the basket on his back, still as usual, but he was much more tired than before, and the basket was much lighter.

Ye Cang frowned slightly, but he couldn't get angry, the monkey is the most jumpy, it is nature.

Ye Cang couldn't help but smile: "What the master said is obedient to the destiny of heaven, upholds nature, is the heart, and can be shortcut, maybe that's what he said." ”

Ye Cang carried the basket forward and muttered, "But what is the Tao?" ”

Two or three miles outside the peach forest, where Ye Cang couldn't see, a Shenwu Golden Ape dressed in purple gold armor stood there, looking in Ye Cang's direction for a long time.

The golden ape is dressed in purple gold armor, wearing a golden crown, stepping on cloud boots, and there is a golden monkey standing on the shoulder of the golden ape.

The golden haired monkey tugged at the golden ape's blonde hair and kept chirping.

The eyes of the little golden monkey also saw Ye Cang through a long distance, and perhaps it was like this, when he was in the mountains, the little golden monkey could always find Ye Cang.

Shenwu Golden Ape's eyes were like fire, and they overflowed with a little bit of gold, his eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice through the mountains and forests: "It's not time to ...... yet."

Shenwu Golden Ape's face was calm, not sad or happy, he couldn't see anything, turned his back to Ye Cang's direction and walked away, the little golden monkey on his shoulder was a little anxious, pulling the golden sideburns of Shenwu Golden Ape.

Shenwu Golden Ape shook his head, slightly soothed, and looked at the sky above Peach Mountain with golden eyes, in the eyes of the golden ape, thick tree trunks appeared in the eyes of Shenwu Golden Ape.

The huge peach tree is rooted on the top of the peach mountain, and the root system is intricately wrapped in the upper half of the peach mountain, and the old rod dragon scales are mottled, like an old dragon entrenched.

The branches are staggered, and the whole peach tree is bigger than the whole peach mountain, and there are 3,000 fruits hanging on the peach tree.

That's not what the peach fruit looks like, some are like swords and knives; If the fire is like ice; Some are even more mysterious.

The three thousand peach fruits exude a dense fairy light, the ancient breath is permeated on the fruit, and the fruit is outlined with complicated runes, which is very profound, like a ghostly axe.

The immortal light does not increase, does not decrease, does not disappear, it is unimaginable and indescribable, only one golden fruit rune is dim among the three thousand fruits, and the breath is broken, like a withered fruit.

On the peach tree, there is a black nest, there are faint traces of the black nest, but it is not as good as three thousand fruits, the lines on it have long been worn out, leaving only faint traces.

The black nest suddenly revealed a little frightening coldness, it was an old ape opening its eyes!

The old ape was born with six ears, a withered and thin body, and was dressed in ancient armor, which was broken and cracked, and stained with dark red blood.

The old ape slowly stood up from the black nest, the broken battle armor jingled, as if crawling out of the ancient tomb, the old ape's eyes were cold, staring at the direction of the Shenwu Golden Ape.

"Same origin and same root, I don't want to kill you, when you took the peach pickers away from Wuchao, I didn't stop you, and when you came out of Peach Mountain that year, I split a line of general momentum to help you leave."

The old ape's thoughts seemed to stretch very long, back to when the old ape died in the Great Leiyin Temple.

The old ape closed his eyes, and immediately opened them again, revealing a cold light in his eyes, and the pale old teeth seemed to be sharp at this moment, gently stroking the branches of the peach tree, extremely careful, as if stroking a lover.

The old ape whispered in a low voice, "I owe it, and I pay it back; I don't chase what I owe, she is my only remaining long-cherished wish, this Wuchuan's three thousand causes and effects, I am not afraid, even if it is a catastrophe, or broken bones. ”

......

In the peach forest, Ye Cang looked around and shouted the name of the little golden monkey, but, but the surroundings were still so quiet, and after a while, Ye Cang muttered, "Did you hear wrong?" I guess I heard it wrong. ”

But if he looks at the sky, he will find a small golden dot shining in the sky, the heaven of Momoyama, except for the sun and the moon, there is nothing else, only the sun and the moon turn into reincarnation, and only the sun and the moon divide this day.

......

When Ye Cang returned to Taoshan Village with the basket on his back, the old blind man's stall was still there, and the old blind man was still leaning on his recliner.

It's just that there is an extra cigarette stick on the table, but Ye Cang doesn't know it, but he doesn't ask much, he still respectfully puts Shan Tao on the stall, but when he left, he told the old blind man to go back early.

Ye Cang is not too worried about the old blind man, the old blind man is blind, no matter if he is dark and bright, although the old blind man can't see, his heart is clear, and he can see everything clearly.

Ye Cang asked him before, and the old blind man always said that if you look with your heart, you can see more clearly than anything else, and your heart and eyes are transparent.

It's not cool at night in Taoshan, but Ye Cang feels that the old blind man has an old body, and it is always much better to go back and lie down and rest.

The old blind man just hummed casually, still lying on the chair, and muttered: "That old monkey is back~ It's time too, if you don't come again, the peach picker will be old." ”

The old blind man closed his eyes and raised his head, as if looking out: "A trace of the cause that was stolen yesterday has been made up today." But it's not just that that you owe me and you owe me this vein! ”

As he spoke, the old blind man was a little angry, and slammed his cigarette stick on the stall.

The school and theater have long been closed, and the old man probably went to sleep.

The old flower is still like that, and when he doesn't see the beginning and the end, Ye Cang knocked on the door three times, and didn't wait for him to open the door, just put the mountain peach on the wooden window and left.

Only the old abbot is still sitting cross-legged and worshipping the Buddha, but there is not a single Buddha statue in the temple.

Ye Cang didn't know that there should be a Buddha statue in the temple, and he also listened to the old abbot, cultivating Buddha lies in cultivating the heart, and the heart becomes a Buddha, and people are Buddhas, so why do you need anything else?

The old abbot once said: "From emptiness to nothingness, it is said that there is emptiness, although the Dharma is divided into large and small, but there is no high or low, all are the law, all can become Buddhas, the root lies in the realization of the heart, enlightenment is true, then it is not far from the Buddha." ”

Ye Cang didn't understand, but he always did it in a good direction, in his opinion, maybe the Buddha and the sages that the master said were the same.

When Ye Cang returned to the wooden house, there were only two half-green and half-red peaches and two red peaches left in the back basket, Ye Cang sat on the wooden bed and twisted his waist, he was tired today, but it was nothing for Ye Cang, he was more afraid that the old people in the village would be hungry when he came back.

Ye Cang put the two red hearts on the wooden table, which were reserved for the little golden monkey, picked up a half-green and half-red mountain peach and frowned and gnawed it, although it was expected, but the spicy feeling was still blazing.

In the middle of the night, outside Momoyama Village, a swaying figure slowly walked into the village.

The thin figure was as thin as a bamboo pole and kept fiddling with a round object in his hand, muttering something in his mouth, and suddenly a cough frightened the figure into staggering.
