Volume 1 Troubled Boys Section 207 Contemplating the Yellow Spring

"But who knows where the other side is?" Luo Bei said with a deep breath and trying to keep himself calm.

He smiled faintly and said, "You asked this question very well, when I asked this exact question to my ancestor back then, I was only a few years older than you......

Luo Bei was still a little surprised, but he didn't expect that the words he asked casually were exactly the same as what the old monk asked back then.

Looking at the slightly surprised expression of the young man in front of him, as if he had seen himself decades ago, he smiled calmly, and then turned to face the lush tree.

He pointed to the big tree and asked Luobei, "Do you know what kind of tree this is?"

Luobei looked up at the big tree, only to see that the leaves on it were dense, even the sunlight was extremely difficult to shine through the branches and leaves, and there were many small flowers that were not very big between the lush branches and leaves, and the petals were as white as snow, which was very beautiful.

He shook his head, he had never seen a tree like this.

Ran was not surprised by this, and continued: "The name of this tree is called Buddha Zi Bodhi, which is a rare thing in the world, do you remember the high monk Master Xuanqing in the story I told you when you and I never met?"

Luo Bei nodded, I am afraid that he will never forget that true story in this life.

"After the Xuanqing master founded the temple, he set up a big array, and he realized Zen in the array for 25 years, and then finally achieved the avenue of nirvana, which is now not known to many people, and no one knows, a generation of monks is sitting here......"

He looked at the person who was slowly flowing under the big tree with deep eyes, and listened to the sound of gurgling water, as if he saw the illusory figure again, and those people and things that had been a long time ago returned to his eyes one by one.

"Before Master Xuanqing sat here, this mountain was bare, not even a single grass, just ten years after he sat down, there was such a Buddha Bodhi growing here, the brothers and sisters of the year regarded it as the ancestor of the Buddha, otherwise how could such a rare Buddha tree suddenly be born on the mountain full of stones?"

"Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a platform. There is nothing in the world, where is the dust......"

"The story of the monk and the red fan is not as mysterious as the legend, and in the end, the monk and the beauty have also turned into dust, if the world knows all this, maybe there will be a lot of sighs!"

Knowing that his expression was a little uneasy, he looked at the tall and lush "Buddha Bodhi", and finally smiled.

Luo Bei also looked at this never-before-seen tree, imagining the scene of the unparalleled monk sitting at this time.

"In the days before Master Xuanqing sat down, I waited with Master Day and Night, at dusk that day, a magical brilliance suddenly appeared on his face, and there was a flash of Taoist Buddha light behind him, at that time we all knew that the limit of the master in this world had arrived, and his old man told me and Master, let us wait here for sixty years, waiting for the appearance of a destined person......"

"I asked Shizu how we should know that he is the one he is waiting for if someone who is destined to appear, and Shizu smiled and said, you will definitely recognize him when the time comes......"

"After the master sat down, the master and his old man stayed here, and after the master sat down, it was me, until recently, the old monk happened to sit here for a while, I looked at it every day, waiting for the appearance of the destined person that Master Xuanqing said before he sat down!"

His kind eyes looked at Luobei, like the light of the scorching sun.

"When you came

When I was in the temple, I thought of the person who was destined to be mentioned by my ancestor, but you were full of anger at that time, and your heart was entangled in mundane things, no matter how you look at it, you will not be that person......"

"Things in the world are so wonderful, what the old monk didn't expect was that just yesterday morning, this Buddha Bodhi, who had been waiting for a long time like the old monk, actually bloomed all over the place, which was the first time in 60 years!"

"Flowers bloomed overnight, like waiting for too long, and finally waiting for the long-awaited return......"

Luo Bei looked at the small flowers blooming on the Buddha Bodhi, and didn't know what to say, could it be that this tree that was related to the Buddha would really open overnight because of himself?

He really couldn't imagine that he was still in the dark before, full of anger, inheriting the fate of killing gods for thousands of years?

How could the "Buddha" bloom because of a person like himself, it is really incredible.

The leaves blown by the wind "whoosh" directly, and the flowers on the linden tree dance in the wind, as if beckoning to the world, and as if greeting someone.

At this time, Luobei heard a clearer sound of water.

The sound of the water was murmuring, and it turned out that there seemed to be a spring under the Buddha Bodhi, and the water kept coming out of it, and then flowed into the distance.

Luo Bei seemed to feel something, and the moment he lifted his foot, he saw that his shoes were almost soaked, and he didn't expect that the water flowing under the tree had unconsciously reached his feet.

The bottom of the tree is probably because of the spring, so there is a thin layer of mist.

"Under the tree is one of the many wonders of the world, the Yellow Spring......

......

Huangquan, how many lonely souls and wild ghosts are on the Huangquan Road, and how many people are obsessed with their lives and can't find the other side.

When most people hear this name, they must naturally think of the road from which there is no turning back, but in fact, this "Yellow Spring" is not that Yellow Spring.

Luo Bei could naturally imagine this, but he was still a little surprised when he heard the name, he looked under the tree, and saw that the water gushing out of the spring was extremely clear, like a stream that had not been polluted in any way, and the trickle had never been interrupted.

Contemplating the Yellow Spring, do you have to take the Yellow Spring Road to see what is hidden in your heart?

Luo Bei couldn't imagine the meaning of this name, so he waited for Master Ran to explain it to him.

He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The little donor probably can't guess the meaning of this name, why don't you go with the old monk to take a look, maybe you can understand the reason......"

So, together they walked to the spring under the big tree.

While walking, he said: "After Master Xuanqing passed away, this place has become a place where few people come in the whole temple, and even the old monk's eldest disciple Juexin has never known about it......"

As soon as he finished speaking, his finger pointed to the bottom of the tree, which seemed to be a well, the eaves of the well were about half a meter above the water, it should have been artificially trimmed, it was round, and the diameter was about the size of the hands encircling it, and the stone on the wall of the well did not show a trace of carving, but it was very smooth, and there was a slow overflow of water inside.

The overflow of water from the capital is extremely slow, but continuous, like time, neither slow nor fast, but it never stops.

Ran stretched out his hand and pointed again, letting Luo Bei look into the well.

Luo Bei took a look

I saw that the spring water that had never overflowed from the well was completely yellow, as if it had been mixed with a lot of loess, but once the water gushed out of the well wall, it became a clear and sweet spring.

Seeing the look on Luo Bei's face, Master Ran couldn't help but smile slightly.

"When I first saw it, I was even more surprised than your expression now, this place is located at the top of the mountain, all of them are cliffs, and there is a difference of 100 meters between the village below the mountain, there should not be such a lush tree, and a spring water gushing up a hundred meters from the ground is even more unimaginable......

Seeing that Luobei bowed his head and was silent, the old monk continued: "I have carefully explored, the water in this spring is a deep pool under the mountain that does not see the sun all year round, the water potential rises, through the spring between the stone cracks in the mountain wall through the belly of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the water in the deep pool is extremely clear, but here it is completely different, it becomes muddy yellow like mud and sand, so it is called the Yellow Spring, the water of the Yellow Spring overflows from the well wall and becomes clear again, for more than 100 years, no one knows the reason......

Luo Bei stepped on the steps of the well, and he could see that the water in the well was extremely yellow, but the water flowing below did not even have a trace of impurities, which was strangely tight.

After seeing that Luo Bei had seen the Huangquan Well, the old monk smiled and said: "The little donor must be strange, the old monk asked Shifang to invite you here, and said a lot of things in a big circle, but they were all inconsequential words......

"The reason why this Yellow Spring is called Guanxin Yellow Spring, in addition to being named Yellow Spring because of its turbid yellow water, the word 'Guanxin' is more useful, which is also the biggest secret of Xuanqing Temple......"

"That is its ability to predict the future and discern fate......

Luo Bei was stunned for a moment, "Huangquan Guanxin", the meaning of Huangquan is now clear, but what this "Guanxin" means is a little unclear.

The old monk flicked his sleeves slightly, as if recalling the past many years ago, wandering the world for a while, and then slowly talking again.

"At that time, Master's health was deteriorating, and when he passed on the position of abbot to me, he also informed me about the Yellow Spring, and as for the miracle of this contemplative Yellow Spring, I had never seen it until a disaster a few years later, which made me truly believe that it was true...... I still remember that year's spring ploughing season, a huge earthquake broke out, so that all the houses within more than 100 miles collapsed, the earth also cracked many cracks, and countless people died, but only one person in Lipo Village under the mountain was not injured, it was precisely because of the omen from Guanxin Huangquan in advance that the people went out to avoid ......"

"And every time the Yellow Spring sends out an omen, it gradually withers and cannot be restored within a few years......

When he said this, he couldn't stop looking at Luo Bei, as if he wanted to find some traces on his face.

In his eyes, there seemed to be a huge question, but he didn't want to get an answer from Luobei, but silently groaned, and at the moment his heart was also extremely struggling, and he hesitated until finally he spoke: "Just one night more than five years ago, when autumn was thick, I suddenly saw a face from the yellow spring, an extremely pale face......

The old monk stopped when he said this, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he still stared at Luo Bei seriously, as if he wanted to see something on his face, and said after a long time: "Donor, do you know what that face looks like?"

Luo Bei was a little uncomfortable to be looked at by the old monk, but he still felt something in his heart, and frowned slightly: "I want to hear it!"
