Chapter 45: Patriarch Bodhi

It is said that Sima Xin's side, since he was a child, grew up in the palace, set thousands of favors in one, is a well-deserved lady of the sky, on weekdays around the palace eunuchs are a group, even the guards are also a woman of clear water, when has he been touched and dragged by a man like this? His green little hands were shaken by Wuqing, Sima Xin only felt that his three souls had lost two souls, and his heartbeat missed half a beat, not to mention that his grandfather and father were watching from the sidelines, which made her even more ashamed and embarrassed!

But before she could react, she only felt that the scene in front of her suddenly changed, and she was still in the Qinzheng Hall of her palace just now, and when she came back to her senses, she had come to the top of a mountain. Looking from afar, under his feet is a beautiful mountain with deep forest foothills, which can be described as a thousand peaks and halberds, and ten thousand people open the screen. The sun reflects the light and locks the green, and the rain is cold and green. Withered vines entangle old trees, and the ancient crossing realm is secluded. Strange flowers and grass, bamboo and pine. Cultivating bamboo and pine, evergreen and blessed land; The cry of the bird is near, and the source is clear. The valleys are surrounded by Zhilan, and the cliffs are mossy everywhere. Sima Xin, who had never been out of the realm of Chang'an City, had never seen such a beautiful scenery in the world, and couldn't help blurting out: "It's so beautiful!"

Wuqing on the side smiled proudly: "This is where I grew up, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain!"

Sima Xin saw his smug appearance, and couldn't help but stammer: "Why did you want to ...... in the Qinzheng Hall just now?" Do you want to be inferior to me, so that I am too ashamed to raise my head in front of my grandfather and father. ”

Wuqing said strangely: "Where did I despise you?"

Sima Xin saw that his expression did not seem to be fake, and his heart was even more annoyed: "You also said......! He took my hand and ......"

Wuqing looked at the lovely person in front of him, and when he heard her say this, he felt that there was still a slippery feeling in his hand, and he was too excited to go back to Fangcun Mountain just now on the main hall, so that he didn't know that he took Sima Xin's hand, and was "accountable" by Sima Xin at this time, so he had to scratch the back of his head and smile silently.

Sima Xin looked at him and smirked again, somehow he felt funny in his heart, he hadn't looked at him carefully before, but now he looked at him carefully, and found that he was a lot thinner and darker, and he was a little distressed, and said, "You are in that great wilderness...... Did you suffer a lot? Look at the ...... now. It's darker than ever!"

When Wuqing heard his sweetheart's words of concern, he only felt that his bones were a little lighter, and he smiled: "It's okay, it's just that the sun there is more poisonous, and I can't stand it." ”

Sima Xin bowed his head and said shyly: "I heard my mother say that you went to the Great Wilderness to ...... In order to ......" she is a girl after all, and the words "in order to marry me" have never been spoken.

Wuqing knew what she wanted to say, and she didn't talk, but stepped forward and grabbed Sima Xin's soft twing, Sima Xin's face was hot, but he didn't dodge, just let him hold it.

When the two of them were in a silent silence, they only heard a vast voice between heaven and earth: "Wuqing, don't come soon!"

This sound scared Sima Xin, his heart was bad, he was looked at by his grandfather and father just now, and now he was full of eyes by the Bodhi Patriarch, and when he came, his grandfather also told him to abide by his duty and not lose his etiquette. But looking at Wuqing's smiling face, Sima Xin's heart calmed down again, since he saw this black monkey, he has him in his heart, no matter what happens, it's just fate!

The little woman's mental activity Wuqing naturally did not wake up, at this time heard the voice of the long-lost master, her heart was like a tired bird returning to the forest, pulling Sima Xin to rush behind her, Sima Xin only felt that his feet were as light as being held up by the clouds, and he flew hundreds of zhang away between only a few verticals, and he was so frightened that he exclaimed again and again, Wuqing showed his success, and he also laughed loudly, and the two of them were like fairy couples shuttling between the mountains and forests.

After a while, Wuqing took Sima Xin and landed next to a cave, Sima Xin looked into the cave, only to see the smoke and haze, and the sun and moon shaking. Thousands of old cypresses, ten thousand knots to repair the fence. Thousands of old cypresses, with rain in the middle of the sky, green and rising; ten thousand festivals are repaired, containing smoke and a ravine. Strange flowers outside the door, the grass by the bridge is fragrant. The stone cliff is abrupt and mossy, and the hanging wall is high and green and long. When I hear the cranes, I see the phoenix soaring. When the crane is chirping, the sound vibrates in the sky and the sky is far away, and the phoenix soars, and the feathers are colorful and cloudy. The white deer of the ape is hidden, and the golden lion and jade elephant are hidden. It's really a place to turn out, a hall of immortals!

Wuqing proudly pointed to a stone tablet more than three feet high outside the cave and said: "This is the place where I grew up since I was a child, and my master practiced in the cave. Sima Xin looked at what Wuqing was pointing at, and there were ten big characters engraved on the stone tablet: "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Leaning Moon Three-Star Cave." "I thought to myself, look at the immortal aura of this cave and the mountain, my black monkey is really a fairy child!" I was happy in my heart, and I also said with a smile on my face: "But I don't know why such a place of aura can raise such a black monkey like you!"

Wuqing touched his face, laughed, and naturally pulled Sima Xin into the cave and said, "Let's go, take you to see the master!"

The two entered the cave, Sima Xin only saw the layers of deep pavilions in the cave, and once they entered the Pearl Palace, they couldn't say that the quiet room was secluded. At the end of the walk, there was a huge yaotai, an old man with white hair and beard sat on the yaotai, the old man was dressed in an ivory white robe, holding a whisk in his hand, and looked at the two people in the audience with a smile in his eyes.

Wuqing bowed down, and said in his mouth: "Disciple Wuqing see Master!"

Sima Xin grew up in the palace since he was a child, and there was no shortage of etiquette, Yingying bowed down and said: "Sima Xin meets the real person!"

The old man bowed his head and said, "Get up!"

Wu Qing Lisuo stood up, also helped Sima Xin up, and smiled at Patriarch Bodhi: "The disciple has been down the mountain for almost five years, and he thinks about the master every day!"

Patriarch Bodhi also smiled and said: "The apprentice's filial piety is known to the teacher, and the daughter you like in your transmission is this girl, right?"

Wuqing nodded and said, "Exactly, her name is Sima Xin, and the disciple feels like her tightly as soon as he sees her." ”

Patriarch Bodhi looked at Sima Xin, who bowed his head and was silent, and said, "Yes, she is a good woman, and she can be a good couple." ”

Hearing the words of the Bodhi Patriarch, Sima Xin's heart was very happy, but he didn't know how to answer, so he could only bow down slightly to show his gratitude. Patriarch Bodhi waved his sleeves, and Sima Xin only felt that something suddenly appeared in his hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was six red dates. I knew in my heart that it was the Bodhi Patriarch who rewarded me, and sure enough, I heard the Bodhi Patriarch on the Yaotai say: "This date has some effects, and it is given by me as an elder." ”

Sima Xin still wanted to be humble, but Wuqing understood his master's temper, closed Sima Xin's hand with his hand, and said softly: "Don't thank you yet, Master?"

Sima Xin comprehended in his heart, and secretly said that this black monkey would really take advantage, but he followed his meaning and said to the Bodhi Patriarch: "Thank you, Master, for the reward." ”

Seeing that this woman was polite and unpretentious, the Bodhi Patriarch was very satisfied, but he didn't say more, but just asked his apprentice: "Wuqing, you have been traveling for more than five years, can you gain anything?"

Wuqing knew that this was the master considering himself, and said solemnly: "The apprentice went down the mountain this time, and he gained a lot......" and then told his experience in detail in the past five years, especially after breaking the tomb of Emperor Wei Wu in Mangdang Mountain, it is the most important thing, and he has been talking about how he escaped from the wilderness. Listening to Sima Xin on the side was drunk.

After listening to Wuqing's narration, Patriarch Bodhi was silent for a while before he spoke: "Providence, providence! When you went down the mountain, your teacher specially instructed you not to go to the Great Wilderness. ”

Of course, Wuqing remembered the master's advice, and at this time there was no excuse, so he could only kowtow and be silent.

Although Wuqing didn't say it explicitly, Patriarch Bodhi knew why he went to the Great Wilderness, so he just sighed and said, "Being able to come back from there is also your creation, you said that you met a rabbit there, and left you three hairs?"

Wuqing said yes in his mouth, hurriedly took out the jade box containing rabbit hair from the mountain and river bag and handed it over, the jade box came out of his hand and fell in the palm of the Bodhi Patriarch, after opening the Bodhi Patriarch picked up the hair and looked at it carefully, a smile appeared on his face, and the hair was sent into the jade box and flew back to Wuqing's hand, the Bodhi Patriarch said: "This rabbit is an ancient power, and the teacher has to call it when he sees it." Taoist friends', but it is a famous gluttonous beast, glass chicken, only in and out of a hair, this time with you Pingshui will send you three life-saving hairs, this is your big opportunity, take it. ”

When Wuqing heard that the rabbit had such a big origin, and that this hair was actually given to him to save his life, he hurriedly put it away. Patriarch Bodhi nodded, and then said: "As for the monster beast's broad heels and feet you mentioned, I also know that the rabbit is right, and its owner is also a man of great origin, even in the great wilderness, he is one of the few figures. ”

Seeing that the master didn't tell him who the powerful figure was, Wu Qing knew that the master didn't want him to have a heart of revenge after he found out, so he immediately said respectfully: "Master don't worry, the disciple understands your good intentions." ”

Patriarch Bodhi nodded slightly, and then said: "The disciples of the Dragon Palace you met still gave you essence blood according to the agreement, it seems that the battle of destroying demons two hundred years ago did not make the Dragon Palace have the heart to break the contract with our Inch Mountain, which is very good." ”

Wuqing heard the Bodhi Patriarch mention the battle to destroy the demons, and then he knew that this was the master to tell himself the ins and outs of this matter, before he only knew about this matter, when he asked the master, the master always said that the opportunity had not come to avoid answering, this time he finally relieved, he hurriedly asked: "Master, the apprentice always heard people mention this battle of destroying demons during his travels, it is a matter of the master, I want to ask for clarification, and ask the master to solve the doubts!"

Patriarch Bodhi looked at the disciples in the stand, sighed, and said: "In the past, you were still young, and I was worried that you were young and irritable because of the teacher, and I heard that you had mistaken your practice, and I originally wanted to tell you the truth when you came back, okay, you listen to what the teacher said and listen to you!"
