After the rain clouds, the sunset is revealed, illuminating the foothills

After the spring rain arrived at the boundary of Qingzhou, it finally stopped.

Nearly dusk, the small market pilgrims under the Buddha Mountain gradually decreased, many nearby villagers began to pack up their stalls and go back, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey, a light and simple body, but no one came to sell incense money paper, walked on the blue brick path between the mountains and forests, passed through several groups of pilgrims down the mountain, the twilight bell rang one after another.

Walking across the iron suspension bridge, I met a little monk who carried water and bowed his hand.

"Little master, take a slow step!"

The little monk carrying the empty bucket saw that it was a scholar, so he hurriedly lowered his burden and returned the salute: "Amitabha, this donor, I don't know if there is something wrong with stopping the little monk?"

"That's the case, dare to ask Master Fajing if he is still practicing in the temple?"

The little monk looked at Lu Liangsheng in front of him, nodded, turned sideways and said softly:

"Back to the donor, Uncle Fajing is in the temple, if the donor wants to see, the little monk can pass it on his behalf. ”

"No, I know the way. ”

Saying that, Lu Liangsheng thanked him, walked to the gravel paved road, looked at the towering pines on both sides of the mountain gate, bowed to the mountain gate, and then walked to the monk standing at the door to explain the intention, and the latter also had some impression of Lu Liangsheng.

"It turned out to be Lord Lu Shi, Uncle Shi said that Lord Lu Shi can come and go at will when he comes to the temple. ”

This method is pure...... It makes me special.

Lu Liangsheng smiled, put the old donkey in the Zhuma Stone outside the mountain gate, and then asked the monk to help add some forage, and he also threw seven or eight words into the merit box, which was regarded as not owing each other.

The voice of the toad Taoist came from the bookshelf: "Liangsheng, you go in by yourself, because the teacher doesn't like it here." ”

"Well, then Master will sleep for a while. ”

Soon, the scholar walked into the temple, the bronze tripod in front of the Tianwang Hall was still smoky, and the monks who came and went swept the pilgrims and left a little mess, Lu Liangsheng smiled and looked at the monk nodded, turned to the path he had walked in the past and came to the side courtyard of the Luohan Hall, and saw a fat monk sitting under the ancient pine from a distance.

"Master Fajing, I know that I am coming. ”

Lu Liangsheng arched his hand casually in the past, the two of them had a deep intersection, so he didn't need to be so polite, he found the futon opposite the fat monk and sat down, the latter had a big round face, slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were majestic and shining, but he stretched out his hand.

"Take it ....."

"Take it?" Lu Liangsheng wanted to say that this monk wanted to come to the Dharma with light in his eyes, but he was confused by this: "Master Fajing, what is this asking me to take?"

On the other side, the fat figure and fat lips squeeze out two simple words.

"Eat. ”

Belch......

Lu Liangsheng speechlessly took out a piece of shortbread left in the tea shop from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, watched the fat monk take it unceremoniously, kneaded it into a ball and stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewed it twice at will and swallowed it into his stomach.

"Anything else?"

"No..... Nope. ”

This is the first time Lu Liangsheng has seen this way of eating, and he patted his sleeve, indicating that there is really no half-sheet.

"Master Fajing, did you eat fast?"

"Ate .... But less. ”

After hearing this, Lu Liangsheng couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that he saw the fat monk with ** light in his eyes just now, and he thought that his cultivation had improved, but he couldn't imagine that he was hungry.

At this time, the sound of a young child babbling suddenly came from the side of Honka, and next to the thick tree pole, a small bald head appeared, about a year old, wearing a very small monk's robe, holding on to the roots of the tree and stumbling over, grabbing the sitting monk Fajing, showing two baby teeth with a small smile.

Hehe.... Abba ..... Babble.....

The delicate little hand patted Fajing's monk's robe, spit out inarticulate words, saliva flowed down his chin, and tilted his head to look at the scholar opposite curiously.

"This little novice ......"

Lu Liangsheng could see that this child was close to Fajing, but in terms of seniority, it shouldn't be like this, over there, Monk Fajing grabbed the monk's sleeve and wiped the saliva of the little novice, and hugged him into his arms.

"This is poor, monk brother, last year, picked up under the mountain, very, like, born, there is a Buddha root, the poor monk will ask for instructions, on behalf of the teacher to accept apprentices, the word of the law, Fahai, one more person, the poor monk will have less fasting, only hungry, stretch out his hand to you. ”

Fahai?

This Dharma name is a bit majestic, and the sea behind it is probably taken by Fajing because of his master.

When Lu Liangsheng was thinking, the fat monk sitting cross-legged opposite patted Xiao Fahai's buttocks and asked him to play nearby.

"Lu Dao, friend, you come to Wan, Buddhist Temple, looking for poor monks, can there be, what else is it?"

"Come by and have a meal. ”

Hearing this, the fat monk's eyes widened, and he hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head, shaking so that the copper ring on his right ear was ringing.

"No..... Inappropriate...... If you come to eat, the poor monk will have no food. ”

Immediately, the two looked at each other for a moment, laughed, provoked Fahai, who was climbing the roots of the tree over and over again, stretched his neck curiously, blinked his big eyes and looked over, not understanding what they were laughing at, subconsciously lowered his head to look at the crotch of his pants, and touched it with his hand, feeling that there was no urine, and continued to climb with a smile.

After a while, the two of them calmed down from the joke just now, and Lu Liangsheng talked about going to sea, and came over to hope that Monk Fajing would have time to go down the mountain and walk around in the world.

"I adopted more than 200 orphans in Chang'an Wanshouguan, and taught them some ways and experience to subdue demons and eliminate demons, in order to be able to walk the world in the future, as well as to explore the fragments of the demon star. ”

"Monks, it is right, the people do, something. Fajing didn't refuse, just looked at the scholar: "Then, Lu Daoyou, go overseas, why?"

"For an artifact. ”

Lu Liangsheng sat cross-legged under the ancient pine, felt a little relaxed, and smiled and told the other party about Kongtongyin, probably with his own conjectures.

"I heard that the Kongtong Seal can town the country's fortune, and the demon star fragments of the chaotic country will inevitably clash with each other, maybe this seal can eliminate the fragments that spread across the states, although the rumors are vague, I still want to try it after all. ”

Monk Fajing pressed his knees, frowned, looked at the scholar opposite, thought for a moment, and turned his eyes to the little Fahai who turned over there and turned over the roots, an unstable and sat down.

"Lu Daoyou, for the sky, the people, the blessings are rushing, the poor monks, can't, backward, wait for the junior brother to be able, walk steadily, the road, I will go down, walk around the mountain. ”

"Master Xie Fajing helped. ”

Lu Liangsheng arched his hand and said with a smile.

The fat monk over there pursed his lips and smiled, and then he didn't say anything else, the two sat under the tree and said something about cultivation, and before they knew it, it was getting late, and Lu Liangsheng took the reluctant toad Taoist and stayed in the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple for one night.

After that, the sky was cloudy and white, and the scholar said goodbye to Fajing, and the rest of the road was not delayed any longer, all the way to Penglai, the easternmost part of Qingzhou, near the sea.

Ou Ou Ou ~~~

The time was almost noon, Lu Liangsheng pulled the old donkey up a mountain cliff, looking ahead, flocks of white birds flew across the sky, occupying the field of vision, is the vast blue connecting the end of the sky and the earth, pushing the waves to sweep the reef, rolling up the waves of white flowers.

Lu Liangsheng flipped out the map and engraved paper, his eyes extended along the right side of the cliff, and Penglai was on the other side.

.......

The sun rises above the clouds.

The rammed earth city wall has a faint smell of the sea, this small city near the sea, is not poor, there are a lot of business trips to sell sea fish, among which there are many people who yearn for the things of the gods, monks, after all, this city has the same name as Penglai, the fairy mountain, according to legend, Xu Fu was from here to the sea.

Just like a bustling market outside the city, four scholars carried bookshelves on their backs, looking around and squeezing past the disturbing and shouting vendors, and walked to the not towering city tower.

“...... This is Penglai, I can't imagine that the four of my brothers would be sent to such a place. ”

"Your Majesty, it's a blessing not to kill us, but this way down the river, it's comfortable to take a boat. ”

"The three brothers don't want to be discouraged, managing the ship is also a good errand, I heard that there is a lot of oil and water. ”

"It's not promising, the four of us are handsome and chic, and the whole body is talented, how can we be nostalgic for a small job. ”

“...... But you can take a mother-in-law, and you can also buy a house. ”

"Makes sense!

The four of them carried the bookshelves and gestured, chattering into this small county.
