Chapter 520: Night Mountain Village

Reclining Buddha Mountain is located in the southwest of Qi County in the mountains, the whole mountain is like the Buddha lying on the side, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple is backed by the 'Buddha' chest and abdomen, the whole is not particularly large, but the mountain gate, the temple is extremely majestic, the huge rock carving of the mountain gate inside and outside, the hollow carving of the Tianwang Palace, the four eaves hang a long row of wind chimes, there are also low houses, the accumulation of withered yellow leaves, you can see pilgrims everywhere, the monk holding the Buddha in the gray monk's robe.

The monk walked in front, occasionally turning around, bowing with his palms together, leading the scholar behind him to go around the backyard of the temple.

"Master Lu, please come here. ”

Lu Liangsheng nodded, looked at several halls of the Heavenly King and Nobita in front of him, and continued to move forward with the Zhike monk in front, and from time to time there would be something to say without a word.

"Master Fajing, haven't you already left the temple to practice?"

“...... Senior Brother Fajing has indeed left the temple, but because the master has entered the Zen and Enlightenment Buddha, he stayed and guarded the door. ”

"I see. ”

Walk through a wooden sign that says 'Tourists Stop', it is considered to enter the range of the backyard of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple, the surroundings are much quieter, between the high and low terrain, several pine trees stand upright, the branches and leaves unfold the tree cage, one of them is a dragon claw pine, the rhizome is thick and emerges from the ground, spreads in all directions, under the lush umbrella cover, several rows of halls with red walls and black tiles sound a burst of chanting and chanting Buddha.

"Lord Lu, this is the Buddha Hall, and further ahead is the meditation hall. ”

The monk explained, and it was a salute to put his hands together, and he walked around here quickly, for fear of disturbing the fellow disciples who were chanting the scriptures inside, and after more than 100 steps, he stopped in front of several houses, turned around and looked at the scholar.

"Master Lu, when you arrive, the little monk retires. ”

"Thank you, little master, for leading the way. ”

Lu Liangsheng raised his sleeves and arched his hand, waited for the guest monk to leave, strode close to a few meditation rooms over there, turned around the temple wall with red walls and black tiles, and had a smile on his face.

Hearing the slight sound of footsteps approaching, the fat monk opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his big round face, stepped on the sackcloth monk's shoes, and got up with his hands folded.

"My Buddha.... Mercy, Lu Shi, Lord, how come you to the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas......"

"I came here to see Master Zhenhai. ”

Lu Liangsheng looked at the tall and fat monk in front of him, compared to the previous in Wujiang Mountain, a little more peaceful, after returning the salute in the past, he invited the fat monk to walk under the eaves, and told the other party the reason for coming, emphasizing that the possession of demon star fragments will bring strange changes to people or demons.

The latter frowned and listened, then stopped and looked back at the meditation room over there.

"Lu Shi, the Lord, the poor, the monk master, since nothing, back from the mountains, come to the temple, inside, then enter Zen, enlighten the Buddha, never, come out half a step, so poor, the monk is also here, just wait..... So, I went over and asked, asked. ”

"I'm tired. ”

Lu Liangsheng thanked him, Fa Jing shook his head, and said, "It should be." So he went to the meditation room over there, came to the door of the master's retreat, and shouted the Buddha's name.

Then, the voice spread like a brass bell.

"Dharma, pure seeking, Master. ”

In the closed door, there was no sound, it was as quiet as ever, Fajing Zhiyin straightened up, and said: "Master, Lu Shi, the Lord is thousands of miles away, he is obedient, Chang'an has come to see you, can I come out to see you?"

The courtyard is quiet and warm, the rustling of the trees, gently shaking the branches and leaves, and a few yellowish leaves swirl quietly down to the eaves.

In the room under the eaves, there were still no words coming out, Lu Liangsheng sighed, stretched out his hand to stop Fajing, who still wanted to speak, looked at the door, and said softly:

"Master Fajing, don't shout anymore, I want to come to your master's retreat and meditation at a critical juncture, and after that, if you go out, you can relay what I just said to him. ”

"Really..... There really is, some can't help it....." Monk Fajing was also a little apologetic, seeing that the scholar was leaving, he stretched out his hand to make an invitation, and walked on the side with a vertical seal.

"Poor monk, send you. ”

"No, Master. ”

Lu Liangsheng raised his hand, asked the monk to stop, and no longer insisted on it, he turned around and left under the long eaves, Fajing sighed, shook the Buddha beads around his neck, dragged his fat body back to the outside of the meditation room, and just sat down cross-legged, an old voice came from the door behind him.

"Law Purification ......"

Hearing this somewhat weak words, the fat monk's buttocks were not yet on the futon, so he quickly stood up again, facing the door and clasping his palms together.

"Master, brother, son is here. ”

After a good while, inside the door, the old monk of Zhenhai spoke slowly and weakly in silence.

"For the teacher..... Yesterday I dreamed of your uncle. ”

The soft words sounded, and it was quiet again, Fajing stood in place in a daze for a while, and no sound came, so he sat back on the futon and sat down with King Kong.

Looking at the slightly swaying pine outside, I sighed with some regret.

"Being in the Buddha Gate but not being able to endure sentient beings......"

.......

The sky gradually bloomed red, Lu Liangsheng walked out of the temple with incense curling, walked straight to the place where the old donkey was tied, took the direction of the reins, walked through the mountain stream iron cable, passed through the tree-lined paths, disturbed the pilgrims, and returned to the foot of the mountain.

Bang –

The twilight bell came from the reclining Buddha behind him, and the scholar stopped, looked back at the lying mountain, took the reins, and continued to walk north.

"Liangsheng, the old bald donkey doesn't agree?"

The bookshelf compartment creaked open the small door, the toad Taoist kicked his legs a few times, and struggled to climb up, in the three words of "old bald donkey", the old donkey dragged the reins sideways over the donkey's face, and the toad patted its head with frog flippers: "I didn't say you." ”

Then, the big lama straightened his two short legs and sat down, tightening the rope around his waist while looking up at the apprentice holding the reins in front of him.

Lu Liangsheng shook his head, and then laughed: "I haven't even met in person, Monk Zhenhai is in retreat to realize the Buddha, and he doesn't see outsiders." ”

"Hmph. The toad man hugged the frog and snorted coldly, and turned his head to look at the mountain behind him that was gradually moving away, "Isn't this the case for the bald donkey? ”

"It's not necessarily like this, then Master Zhenkong, how many people can do it if they sacrifice themselves to the Buddha?"

Lu Liangsheng squinted his eyes, looked at the red-hot sky clouds in the west, bathed in this red glow, led the old donkey to walk through the official road with the copper bell, and listened to the reverberating bells in the distance.

"Maybe it's not the right time. ”

casually said as if jokingly, Lu Liangsheng waved his wide sleeves, and his body and the old donkey who walked slowly walked away in a few feet, according to the previous plan, after coming to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple in the east, no matter whether the persuasion can be achieved or not, it is necessary to go north to Chengyunmen and join Lao Sun, the two major factions, there is always one who can succeed, right?

Originally, the plan was to search for demon star fragments on the way, but along the way, not even a single goblin ghost was encountered, but this is also good, at least no people have been harmed.

The sun is setting, and the last rays of light go to the foothills.

Flocks of birds and birds returned to the forest, chirping non-stop, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey, chatted with the master who grabbed a pair of long ears on the donkey's head, went down a gentle slope, in front of the field of vision, the mountain village was full of smoke, the diversion of the Qi River was not far from the village, winding from the foot of the mountain, sparkling, and many farmers carrying hoes on the dirt road in the field.

"I miss Lujia Village a little. The toad Taoist looked at this scene and sighed.

"It's a little, but I don't have to sleep in the wild tonight. ”

Lu Liangsheng saw that the sky was about to darken, and pulled the old donkey down the hillside, passing by the field, there happened to be an old farmer carrying a kettle, carrying a hoe and walking up the ridge, seeing a person and a donkey coming from afar, vigilantly put down the hoe.

"This son, have you come to our village for something?"

The old man's words attracted the people of the nearby villages, and the people in the mountains were very united, and when they saw the people coming to the village, they did not go back to their homes for the time being, so they came over with a hoe, stood beside the old peasant, and looked up and down at the donkey and the scholar in the green shirt and white robe.

"I traveled around to study, I had some knowledge, and when I saw that it was getting dark, I saw that there were people living here, so I came over and wanted to spend a night with all the villagers, I don't know if it is possible?"

Lu Liangsheng let go of the reins, arched his hand towards the people in the village, and used his mana to urge a sweat stain, and a few village men who came over there saw him covered in sweat stains, and his robe was wet, quite embarrassed, they glanced at each other, went back and whispered a few words, and then someone came over.

"It's not easy for you to travel long distances as a scholar, so you can spend the night in the village, but there is a word in advance, you can't go out of the house at night, and you will leave as soon as it is dawn!"

The people in the mountains have the rules of the mountain people, not to mention that there are few lights and candles in the mountains, and there are wild beasts at night, which is not a strange rule.

Lu Liangsheng nodded, thanked him, and followed the old farmer back to the village, there are very few people who read this idea, especially in some mountain villages, it is even rarer, and suddenly a scholar came, and many people went out to see it.

"That scholar is so handsome, better looking than the men in the village. ”

"Maybe it's the son of a wealthy family in the city......."

"That's really bold enough, a person dares to run into the mountains, and he is not afraid of encountering big insects and strong people who cut paths. ”

"Who's to say it's not, but ah...... It's so handsome, I don't know if I want a woman at night......"

"You're so sassy. ”

It wasn't until it was dark and I watched the lively villagers that I went back to my respective homes.
