Chapter 5 Barren Mountains and Ancient Temples, Appearing in front of people!
Fenglong Ridge is 1,500 miles west of the Ethereal Sect, and it is a huge primeval hill.
It's the height of summer, and as far as the eye can see, there is a lush greenery, with endless branches and leaves floating with the breeze, like the rolling tide of the sea.
The Thousand-winged Flying Crane was like an arrow piercing through the clouds, passing under the blue sky of white clouds.
Lu Anzhi was so blown by the high wind that he couldn't open his eyes, so he could only stick to the back of the Thousand-winged Flying Crane and hug its neck tightly.
It is a very low-tech artifact, and a monk majoring in mechanism art can make one on his own after three months of entry.
Like the construction of tombs, bridges, palaces, caves and blessed lands, etc., are inseparable from mechanical techniques, but there are very few people who learn, after all, alchemy and refining are the mainstream, both social status and a lot of money to be made.
After Lu Anzhi came to Fenglong Ridge, he lowered his altitude and looked for a mountain full of maple trees.
That's where this opportunity comes in!
If it's autumn, it's easy to find, the maple leaves on the mountain turn red, and you can see it at a glance, but fortunately, Lu Anzhi was patient, and after spending more than an hour, he finally found this mountain that looks like a Humpty Dumpty.
He landed at the foot of the mountain and looked up.
Due to the rarity of people, the stone steps up the mountain are dilapidated, cracked and covered with thick fallen leaves, and at the top of the mountain, there is an inconspicuous temple.
Lu Anzhi took a deep breath and walked up the stairs.
I don't know if that monster is good to talk to?
Lu Anzhi was a little worried, several opportunities retrieved through the encyclopedia on the divine machine, even if a monk went to get it, it was very dangerous, and he, a mortal, was almost certain to die.
But you have to fight it!
The mountain gate has arrived.
This temple has long been devoid of monks, and I don't know how long the fireworks have dissipated.
Lu Anzhi didn't pause and walked straight in.
The temple is not big, Lu Anzhi went to the Daxiong Treasure Hall first, and he didn't know the big Buddha enshrined, but it was always right to pray for good luck.
After three bows, Lu Dalang cleaned the treasure hall again, and picked up all the leaves that had been blown in by the wind and rain through the broken windows.
After that, he went to the abbot's house!
This is a small courtyard with a single door, bluestone paving, green tiles into a wall, the northwest corner of the courtyard, there is a pine and cypress, towering to the sky.
This old tree, which is definitely six or seven hundred years old, is the kind of wood that is loved by rural landlords, and is generally used to make longevity coffins.
If Lu Anzhi cut it back, he would be able to sell it for a thousand taels of silver, but his gaze only glanced at it, and then fell on a coffee table polished by Yuhua stone in the courtyard, and on top of it, there was a hanging grape trellis, which could not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also pick fruits and taste sweetness.
"There it is!"
Lu Anzhi's surface was silent, but his heart was beating uncontrollably.
Barren mountains and ancient temples, grape vines!
It is recorded in the Encyclopedia of the Immortal King that there is a barren mountain full of maple trees in Fenglongling, and there is an ancient temple on the mountain, and there is a grapevine in the abbot's residence in the temple.
The presiding officer of the profound Buddhism, in the morning, noon and evening, will chant sutras and worship the Buddha in the courtyard, and over time, this grapevine will be touched by the ears and eyes, and spirituality will be born.
Once animals and plants have spirituality, they can also be called goblins and embark on the path of cultivation.
Because this ancient temple is too secluded and far-reaching, no one has disturbed it for hundreds of years, so this vine can be cultivated with peace of mind and did not die in the early growth stage.
Later, after the grape vine cultivated into a human form, he called himself Ah Zi and went out of the mountain to practice, because he was born in a temple, he was used to listening to Buddhist scriptures since he was a child, so he regarded himself as a Buddhist girl.
She is not bad-hearted, at the beginning, often do good deeds, eliminate evil and punish adultery, but also made a reputation, but everyone has heard of female monks, but has never heard of a Buddhist woman, so a senior monk looked for her, asked her identity, and then she revealed her stuffing.
As a demon plant, Ah Zi is naturally not liked by Buddhism, and some Buddhist cultivators feel that she calls herself a Buddha girl and tarnishes the reputation of Buddhism, so they encircle and suppress it!
Ah Zi is not a person with great luck, and in the end, he naturally ended up dead.
The reason why the Wanfa Immortal King included her situation in the encyclopedia is because there are many demon girls in the Suo Po world, but those who dare to call themselves Buddha girls can really be counted on one hand, and Ah Zi is really kind-hearted, has never eaten people, and is also an outlier among monsters.
"How can I talk to her? According to the encyclopedia, Ah Zi should be a good person...... No, it's a demon, so I'd better just say what I mean?"
Lu Anzhi pondered his rhetoric.
......
The summer wind blew, and the leaves shook and made a rustling sound.
A few bunches of green grapes hang from the branches, not yet ripe.
Ah Zi looked at the young man curiously and cautiously, since the abbot's death, it had been two hundred years, and no one had come to the temple again.
"Why did he suddenly appear here? He doesn't feel any aura on his body, obviously a mortal, woodcutter? No, he doesn't have an axe, and it looks like he's still injured?"
Ah Zi reasoned: "Is it the lucky one who was caught in the mountains by other monsters and secretly escaped?"
"No, why is he standing there in a daze? Oh, he looks at me, does he know that I exist? No, no, how can a mortal find me?"
Just when Ah Zi was thinking about all kinds of nonsense, Lu Anzhi spoke.
"Hey, little demon, the abbot here is my friend, when he died, did he leave any last words and unresolved wishes?"
Lu Anzhi's right hand was behind his waist, and he put on a calm and calm Jindan boss.
"Huh?"
Ah Zi was dumbfounded, this young man turned out to be a friend of the abbot's grandfather?
Deceptive, right?
"Speak!"
Lu Anzhi scolded.
"The abbot's grandfather never left a last word, he said that people die like a lamp going out, all thoughts are turned to ashes, and there is no longer any concern with the world!"
In the quiet courtyard, a voice full of girlish feelings suddenly sounded, listening to it, it was like drinking a glass of grape wine, and the lips and teeth were fragrant.
Lu Anzhi was silent, trying to put on an expression of remembering his friend.
"You are ......"
Ah Zi inquired weakly.
"Just a little demon, dare to ask my name?"
Lu Anzhi snorted coldly.
"Ugh!"
Ah Zi panicked and the leaves of the tree were rolled up, there was no way, she had never touched anyone except the abbot, and she didn't know the darkness and sinister of the world.
She has too little experience, and she can't tell that Lu Anzhi is acting!
The main thing is that a mortal suddenly appeared here, and he broke his name in one mouthful, which is really scary, after all, two hundred years ago, there were thirty-two monks in the entire temple, and only the abbot's grandfather found himself.
This young man, can't it be a certain great monk who has been reborn?
Thinking of this, Ah Zi was even more scared.
Lu Anzhi stopped talking and walked out, but before and after the door, he stopped again, he didn't look back, but sighed directly: "My friend allowed a demon vine to grow here, it must be a bit of a meaning to you, I met you today, it is also a fate, okay, I will give you a piece of advice, a chance, right?"
“......”
Ah Zi can't figure out, what is this teenager going to do?
"The advice is, any woman who claims to be your best friend in the embankment, she will give you a exercise, don't practice it, otherwise you will be mistrained for life!"
Lu Anzhi raised his head and looked at the sky.
"Huh?"
Ah Zi was dumbfounded.
Because she recently met a new banshee, the other party treated her very well, not only gave her a lot of melon fresh fruits that she had never eaten, sweet spring spiritual dew, but also told her many anecdotes, which increased her horizons.
The two agreed that when Ah Zi cultivated into a human form, they would go down the mountain together, crisscrossing the four seas, watching the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, and enjoying life.
The best friend this teenager is talking about can't be a little silver, right?
However, Xiao Yinzi didn't give himself exercises!
"As for chance......
Lu Anzhi pretended to groan.
"Uh-huh, what's down there?"
Ah Zi instinctively pricked up his ears, chance is good luck, it is blessing, it is something that can make a monk a winner in life, but it can be met but not sought.
"The way of heaven has clouds, the law is not lightly preached, the Tao is not sold cheaply, and the fate is not lightly given, what do you take as a reward?"
Lu Anzhi asked with a casual smile, but in his heart, he was apprehensive, after all, this was his real purpose, if the other party refused, he would suffer.
"Huh, do you want to be paid?"
Ah Zi was a little confused for a while, but he didn't doubt this sentence, because the abbot's grandfather also said it, and the people who came to ask the Buddha for fate, the poor ones were incense, and the rich ones had to give sesame oil money!
"I ...... I don't have spiritual sand!"
Ah Zi is just a grape demon vine that has not yet come out of this barren mountain and ancient temple, and there is no chance to save a sum of money for this thing of spiritual sand!
"Haha, who wants such a mundane thing as spiritual sand?"
Lu Anzhi pouted.
"That'...... Why don't you give you a bunch of grapes?"
Ah Zi is embarrassed, after all, it is the fruit that he bears, and it is worthless.
"Yes!"
Lu Anzhi smiled: "You don't need more, just a few!"
Ah Zi originally wanted to pick a bunch of small grapes for Lu Anzhi, but when he heard him say this, he was ashamed and embarrassed.
"I'm too stingy!"
Ah Zi blamed himself, a vine with green leaves stretched out, directly picked the oldest and largest bunch of grapes, and then respectfully sent it to Lu Anzhi.
"This opportunity is in this ancient temple, you should look for it!"
Lu Anzhi pretended to take the grapes casually, but in his heart, he was already excited to jump up and sing a song.
It's done!
I am indeed the rebirth of the Immortal King, and my mana is boundless.
Lu Anzhi was very proud, he was obviously still a mortal, so he could already play with a demon vine in the palm of his hand.
It's a heavenly show!
Wait, you can't leave in a hurry, you have to put on the demeanor of a master, and go down the mountain gracefully, otherwise you may be seen through!
It's just that before Lu Anzhi went out, Ah Zi's question resounded in the courtyard.
"I have lived here for more than 200 years, even if it is every piece of bluestone paved on the temple floor, I know how many textures there are on it.
In the end, Ah Zi was already angry.
I believe that you are a great monk who has been reborn, but I didn't expect you to be a liar.
Damn it!
For a while, in the courtyard, the wind was blowing!
