To the east to the boundary of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there are more than 1,400 miles, out of Jingzhao along the Yellow River, with the spell of shrinking the land into inches to rush with all his might, through the east of the river, Hanoi, Ji County, halfway to change boats to the other side of the Yellow River, it also took nearly six days.

After entering the Sikou Pass, go north to the official road, the undulating mountains along the way, and the villages and townships with smoke in the yellow forests and wilderness, all have different terroirs from the northwest or the south of the Yangtze River.

On the flat ground, the official road extends in all directions, and occasionally there are rest shops on the side of the road, and the sounds of cars, domestic animals, and people around are connected into a noisy piece.

"Erniu, take care of the goods, uncle will bring you cakes back!"

“...... This batch of my goods was pulled back from the south, good fellow, and I encountered a road robbery on the way, and I almost planted it with people and cars!"

"Then have you ever been to Qixia Mountain?"

"I don't know, I went to Tianzhi and collected some goods, but I encountered a mutiny, but fortunately, the army of counterinsurgency came quickly, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get out of the city. ”

In the noisy tea shed, when the man wiped the table, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and brought it to the earthen stove, he heard a different copper bell from the official road in the southwest, and the bell jingled as if to cover the rest of the surrounding sounds.

“...... Heaven and earth are like a mat ~~~ It's better to break the house in two rooms~~ The old tree courtyard and see the beautiful scenery of the stars~~ Crush the clouds ~~ People in the world are dreams ~~ Riding an old donkey alone and sharing heaven and earth ~~"

Jingle ......

The autumn wind blows the yellow treetops, and the smoke and dust fill the official road, an old donkey flicks a pair of copper bells around his neck, carrying a scholar lying on his back, slowly walking through this side of the road, passing through the business travelers, and stopping at the tea shed.

Lu Liangsheng stopped singing, turned over, stuffed the gourd hanging in his hand into the bookshelf, took out a big toad and put it on his shoulder, and held the reins with the other hand and tied it to the stake outside the shed.

"This son, what do you want to eat?

The man stepped forward, cleverly took off the bookshelf on the donkey's back, took it in his hand and invited the scholar in, put the bookshelf next to the square table, and quickly wiped the bench.

"Two pancakes, a bowl of herbal tea. Lu Liangsheng replied to the guy with a smile, his eyes swept over the rest of the tables in the shed, almost all of them were pedestrians and vendors sitting in the shed, so he didn't pay attention to it, and waited for the guy over there to finish a few cakes on the table that came first, and when it was his turn, he pulled the guy over and asked:

"Little brother, let me ask the way, how far is it to go to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple?"

Qi Jun has not been here, and on the way, Lu Liangsheng also asked the merchants he met and inquired about the direction, but how far is it and in which mountain, the other party's answers are relatively vague, and he asked several people, and they are all the same.

The guy put down the plate, poured tea for Lu Liangsheng, and looked at the big toad lying on the corner of the table on one side, with purple and black bumps on his back, which made him panic.

Pumping the teapot, he hurriedly replied: "Gongzi is going to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, this is the right person, not the people of Qi County, most of them who come from outside can't find it." ”

When he opened the chatterbox, the guy was not so afraid of the big toad in the scholar's hand, as if drawing a map, he took out a chopstick from the chopstick cage and hooked a route on the table with a few drops of water that had just fallen on the table.

"Childe walked east from the official road outside, about two hundred miles or so, you can see a stretch of mountains across the Qishui, among which there is a statue of a reclining Buddha, if you still can't recognize it, Childe will go to the place where there are many people, and you will be able to find it. ”

Looking at the lines outlined by the water stains on the table, Lu Liangsheng wrote down the words, arched his hand towards this guy with a smile, and put a few copper coins into the other party's hands without a trace.

"Thank you for your advice. ”

The guy glanced at the shopkeeper on the other side of the earthen stove, rubbed the copper in his palm, and pulled it into his sleeve: "Son, you're polite, help others and yourself, you eat slowly, and the small ones will go to work first." ”

"Please. ”

Lu Liangsheng replied, and when the guy left, he reached out and took a piece of pancake and tore it in half, half of which was broken into several small pieces and put it in front of the toad Taoist.

Dharma sounds come out of the mouth of the chewing.

"Master, after eating, let's go on the road, we're tired of staying in the bookshelf, and I'll put you on the donkey's head later." ”

"Just remember to tie a rope for your teacher. ”

The toad Taoist stretched out his tongue, rolled a piece of pancake and pulled it into his mouth to grind, and spit it out again: "Even the oil is less, and there is no salt, it is unpalatable." ”

"Master, let's make do with it...... There are no field chickens in autumn. ”

Lu Liangsheng broke the pancakes into smaller pieces, took another cake and bit it into his mouth, and there were guests at several tables nearby, gathering in twos and threes, talking to each other.

"By the way, do any of you remember the incident of the demon star in the sky a few days ago?"

"I know, I was trading in Donglai at that time......"

As in the usual gossip chatter, there are also words whispered at a nearby table: "If you find that girl this time, you have to beat her." ”

"Don't talk about it here, be careful what others are listening to. ”

"Are you afraid, if we arrest the women in our village, are we afraid that others will gossip?"

Lu Liangsheng turned his head and glanced over, and the table where he whispered was five men wearing short hexagrams, with thin figures, dark skin, and under the shorts, all five of them were exactly the same straw sandals, with thick hands and feet, and they looked like crop men.

Several people soaked the cakes in the herbal tea, and the snoring sound of drinking made the surrounding diners quite unhappy, and one of them seemed to notice the gaze of the scholar over there, raised his face to look at each other, and buried his head in the food and drink, and then continued to speak.

A group of farmers came out to arrest people, it should be related to marriage...... Forget it, they don't necessarily find it. ’

Qi County is not small, if the woman who escaped from marriage has the heart to leave, the sea of people is vast, it is indeed difficult for these five people to catch people, not to mention that Lu Liangsheng wants to help, and he doesn't know where the woman is.

After a while, the five people left first after eating, and Lu Liangsheng had already finished eating, put down the food money, put the bookshelf on the back of the old donkey, took the reins, and followed the direction of the man's guidance.

In the afternoon, the sun was slightly slanting, and in the autumn colors of the mountains, Lu Liangsheng passed the Qi water in the mouth of the guy, and asked the boat man at the ferry about the specific direction of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, and in a blink of an eye, he went to the mountain.

Boom~~~

The evening bell echoes far away between the lying Buddhas, and in the dusk sunshine, egrets blow across the water and fly away to the mountains and forests.

Lu Liangsheng stood at the foot of the mountain, listening to the long, thick bell, walking through a stall spontaneously set up by the nearby villagers, in the smell of incense and money paper, leading the old donkey to walk on the green brick path in the mountain forest, the cicadas in early autumn still rang one after another in the nearby branches, and occasionally a few apes chirped in the distance.

In the past, the chain bridge connecting the opposite cliff, on the cliff, countless pits carved a statue of Buddha, some days are too long, covered with moss, and the facial features can still be seen.

"Could it be that the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas got its name because of this?"

Over there, the toad Taoist snorted, as if he felt the Buddha's energy, which made him a little uncomfortable, and his eyelids were half open: "A bunch of bald donkeys, just pretending to be ghosts." ”

Lu Liangsheng then remembered that the master had a lot of festivals with the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, especially the old monk of Zhenhai, if it was a hard match, the strength of the old monk was indeed extraordinary.

After crossing the chain bridge, we walked another hundred steps, and the gravel paved road passed through the old pines on both sides, revealing the magnificent buildings ahead.

The green smoke curled in the Buddhist temple, and when he came to the mountain gate, Lu Liangsheng saluted the monk who was waiting outside the door.

"This little master, Lu Liangsheng in Xiaqi Mountain, I don't know that Master Zhenhai and Master Fajing are in the temple?"

"Amitabha!"

The monk bowed to the Buddha, looked at the scholar in front of him, and then lowered his head and made a vertical seal: "Back to the donor, Senior Brother Fajing is in the temple, but the master is now in retreat and practicing meditation, and he does not see outsiders." ”

After listening, Lu Liangsheng nodded, put the old donkey outside, and put the master on the bookshelf with him, anyway, he didn't like to stay here.

Soon, the scholar walked into this thousand-year-old temple alone.
