Chapter 18: The Peaks Are Alone
In the depths of Dabie Mountain, the mountains are high and densely forested, and the population is sparse. There is a mountain at the south foot of the main peak called Hegao Peak, its peak is towering into the clouds, with the appearance of the arch of mountains and rivers. According to legend among the mountain people, in ancient times, the queen mother who lived in heaven was tired of too many rules and precepts, and always wanted to steal the mortal dust to appreciate the fun of the world. One day, when passing by the overpass, I suddenly heard the sound of cranes, and when I looked down, I saw a favorite place, and secretly buried it in my heart. One day, the Jade Emperor returned from his inspection, quite drunk, and fell asleep after greeting the queen mother for a while. The queen mother took this opportunity to invite the son Niangniang, the Arhat immortal monk, riding the crane, wearing colorful clouds, came to the world, and boarded the favorite place that she had seen in the past, the three immortals came here, but saw the mountain peaks towering, the scenery is beautiful, the residents are happy, a good picture of the desperate situation in the world, can not help but enjoy the great interest, the poetry is prosperous. The Queen Mother hurriedly ordered all the attendants to rush to the stone fortress city to prepare for rest, and couldn't help but praise: "Jing, absolutely also; Poetry, come also. What if you don't have alcohol? When the Arhat Immortal monk heard this, he laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this! Then he brought a pot of fine wine. So the three immortals sat on the ground, drinking and writing poems. The poem says: "The sun dwells in the moon, and the peaks are dangerous." They were learning from each other, but the Jade Emperor woke up and heard that the queen mother had stolen the mortal dust, Long Yan was furious, so he sent the heavenly soldiers and generals to send the queen mother back to the heavenly court, and sent the son Niangniang and the Luohan immortal monks to the southeast and southeast of this foothills, so as to make up for the merits and benefit the people. Later generations got this legend, with the righteous name of "the crane sings nine gao, and the sound is heard in the sky". Since ancient times, it is the border of the county, the country, the state and the government, and it is known as the "Wuchu safari and dangerous place", and it is a place where soldiers must fight. There are Chu and Wu contending for the "head to six garrison tunluo", there is the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties plundered the rich along the Jianghuai River "Juewang main temple", there is the Southern Song Dynasty Yue Fei anti-gold dangerous pass "Tongluo Pass", and Tianwan Emperor Xu Shouhui built the crane Gao village is also in the territory.
Feng Yanlang and Tang Sai'er were already on Hegao Peak at this time, thinking that they could run so far, so high, and so wild in the mountains, the people of Jimu Mountain Villa should not be able to find it. Since entering the mountain, I have seen the mountain peaks towering and the beautiful mountains circulating; The pine and cypress, the dense forest and bamboo, the mountainside perched on the smoke of the glow, the smoke curling at the foot of the mountain, the small bridge flowing water, the uneven fall, can not help but be attracted by this beautiful scenery, want to find someone to inquire about the scenery nearby, but is afraid of exposing the whereabouts, so I have to go to the high of the mountain. There are many famous mountain monks in the world, and there have always been many religious believers here, each mountain is not a temple or a Taoist temple, the reputation of this Hegao Peak is not small, and the top of the mountain should not be uninhabited.
After walking for most of the day, the two finally saw a line of stairs towering into the sky. The two of them climbed the stairs and arrived at the mountain gate, only to see the three big characters of "Duzun Temple" to show their identity.
Seeing that someone went to the mountain gate to spy and explore, but it was not like ordinary religious people, the two little monks came out, clasped their hands together and said: "Dare to ask the two donors if they want to enter the temple?" ”
"The two of us traveled here, missed the trip, and wanted to spend a night in your temple, I don't know if it can be convenient?" Feng Yanlang said.
The two little monks glanced at Tang Sai'er, saw that it was a woman, and said, "Donor, please wait a moment, and wait for the little monk to ask the uncle of the academy before coming back." ”
"Then there is Master Lao," Feng Yanlang said.
The little monk who had just spoken explained a few words to another and hurried back, and the little monk who stayed behind folded his hands and made a wave, and then stood in front of the mountain gate and stopped talking.
After a while, the little monk who had just gone came back, "Two donors, please come in!" ”
Feng Yanlang and Tang Sai'er glanced at each other, stepped into the mountain gate, and followed the little monk to the temple. Walked Lixu, arrived at an open place, only to see that although this Duzun Temple is not a well-known treasure temple, but it is also a palace connected to each other, and the incense is prosperous.
The little monk led the two of them through the Zhenwu Palace, turned to the left, and entered a courtyard, which turned out to be a resting place for the monks. A monk in a robe pushed the door out, looking only in his forties, his eyes were shining, and he was full of energy, thinking that he was the uncle of the management institute in the mouth of the little monk.
"Master Shanzai, in Xia Feng Yanlang, this is my friend Tang Sai'er, because of the missed itinerary of the mountain tour, I want to spend a night in your temple, I don't know if it is convenient?" Feng Yanlang bowed deeply.
"The mountain wild temple, originally built for ferrying people, the two donors please take it", the uncle of the courtyard said and shouted to a monk's room at the entrance of the courtyard, "Bu Yuan, come and arrange a room for these two donors." ”
The little monk named Bu Yuan came out of the monk's room and took Feng Yanlang with him, and the two of them arranged accommodation separately. The abbot of the courtyard turned a corner and walked out.
On the southwest slope of Duzun Temple, a section of steps stretches out of the cliff, and the front end holds up a pavilion that can accommodate three people to sit opposite each other with a plank road. On the eaves of the pavilion facing the steps, the three words "sun-viewing platform" are written, which is one of the six unique views.
A yellow-clothed monk stood on the sun-viewing platform, looking into the distance.
The abbot of the courtyard slowly came up from the steps, and he knew that the abbot was probably looking at the reckless people outside the mountain again.
The abbot of the courtyard slowly walked to the abbot's right, and followed his eyes, beyond the mountain were rolling hills, two long rivers flowing between the valleys, small villages dotted between the green mountains and green waters, and white clouds drifted from those mountain villages to this unique mountain, becoming smoke under his feet.
"Senior Brother Abbot, I heard that a lot of people have come to the town over there in the past few days," said the abbot of the management institute.
"Really? Have you seen Hui Zhong these days? The abbot asked.
"I haven't seen it, do you think anything will happen to Senior Brother Huizhong?"
"With his wit and martial arts cultivation, nothing should happen, even if something happens, he can find a way to let us know."
"Then why hasn't there been any news for more than ten days?"
"I think he must have found out something and is continuing to investigate."
"Senior brother, two outsiders came to the temple just now, saying that they missed the itinerary on the mountain tour and wanted to spend the night in our temple, so they have been invited in."
"Really? Although there are often people staying at this temple, most of them are believers at the foot of the mountain, so where are they? ”
"Listening to the accent, there is no doubt that the male donor is from Henan, and the female donor seems to be from Shandong."
"A man and a woman? Senior Brother Chen Mo, you immediately send someone down the mountain to investigate, and divide it into two groups, one to the gold shop and the other to the Sanghta Temple. Focus on the intentions of those who come from other places, and be careful not to alarm the people of Jimu Villa and Guanghua Temple", it turned out that the abbot of the temple was actually the world's famous monk Chen Mo, and the abbot was the famous monk Ji Bu.
"Amitabha, good, good!" Chen Mo clasped his hands together and turned to leave.
Ji Bu glanced at the town in the distance, slowly walked out of the viewing platform, and went down the steps. It was slowly getting dark. He returned to the monk's room, carried a lantern out of the courtyard, climbed the steps along the left side of the temple, passed a natural stone cave, and walked half a stick of incense.
Ji Bu condensed his gaze and looked northwest into the distance, it was pitch black, but he saw a lump of light in the pitch black. "Looks like there's a lot of people over there," Ji Bu thought to himself.
Feng Yanlang sat alone in the room, thinking about the know-it-all things he encountered today, and all the past came out at once, and there was no wine, so he had to drink tea one after another. Suddenly, I heard a knock on the door, got up and opened the door, and when I saw that it was Tang Sai'er, I let me in.
"Brother Feng, thank you so much today, I haven't thanked you yet!" Tang Sai'er said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Pingshui meets, it should be like this."
When Tang Sai'er heard his tone, he was so unfamiliar, and in the afternoon he said that he liked himself, and he didn't feel an unhappiness rising to his throat and wanted to have a seizure.
"Miss Tang is here now, is there anything wrong?"
"Why, I can't look for you if it's okay?"
"You and I are not related to each other, why do you have nothing to do with me?"
After hearing this, Tang Sai'er's face sank suddenly, "I'm here to say goodbye", so he said this sentence that he immediately regretted.
"Really? It's getting late, you'd better leave tomorrow. ”
Seeing this, he didn't mean to keep it at all, Tang Sai'er was even more annoyed, "I'll leave now, your grandfather in the province is looking for me everywhere." After saying that, he turned around and went back to his room to pack his things and prepare to leave.
Feng Yanlang heard Tang Sai'er's unhappiness in his words, and knew that his words were not good, but he was so natural that he was unwilling to apologize, so he only returned to the room with Tang Sai'er angrily.
After a while, he only heard the sound of extremely fast footsteps in the yard, Feng Yanlang knew that this girl was really leaving, but he was a little worried for a while, so he had to walk out quickly and run in front of Tang Sai'er to block the way.
Tang Sai'er was angry, how could he say that he would let go, and if he didn't let go, he wouldn't leave, so he started with Feng Yanlang. Feng Yanlang was worried that there was no place to dispel his depression, so he really didn't let his hands and feet. Fortunately, Tang Sai'er's martial arts are not weak, so he simply didn't want to leave, he just wanted to defeat Feng Yanlang. The two fought bare-handed for more than a dozen rounds, and most of their anger was gone, but somehow Feng Yanlang grabbed Tang Sai'er's left hand.
Tang Sai'er watched Feng Yanlang grab his hand and didn't let go, and didn't speak, knowing that this person was also a stuffy gourd at that time, so he didn't plan to deal with him.
"What are you doing? Don't let go yet. The tone has softened a lot.
"I ...... Don't go yet, we'll be together tomorrow."
"I'll go by myself tomorrow", Tang Sai'er didn't want to lose his self-esteem, dropped this sentence, touched his left hand, and went back to his room with his head held high. I secretly said in my heart, if it wasn't for the big thing, how could I let him be like this, and then let him see his true ability, and see if he could escape the palm of this girl's hand. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but almost laugh, and hurriedly closed the door with my back and laughed.
Feng Yanlang looked at Tang Sai'er's back, and the back of his mother leaving after a quarrel with his father appeared in his mind like lightning, and gradually merged with Tang Sai'er's back, thinking about it, his head hurt, this is a strange feeling, this back is the back he wants to see but hates.
