Chapter 32, Returning to the People on a Snowy Night
After the two left the town, they finally came to the foot of the Leifeng Mountain that the people in the town said.
At a glance, a long moss staircase leads to the top of the mountain, the mountain is full of countless ancient pines, and in the middle of the mountain, there is a little dust and mist, and there is a temple at the top of the peak, which must be the Fengxue Temple.
If you don't know about this mountain, you think that you have arrived at a certain Taoist temple and a place to cultivate.
At the foot of this mountain is to set up a number of stalls selling incense, at this time it is early in the morning, it happens to be the time when good men and women come here to ask for incense and vows, Yao Zhenyi and the two came to this time, there have been people and the hawker after asking for incense, then go to the mountain.
For a time, the foot of the mountain was bustling with people coming and going. People who go up and down the mountain flock here.
Yao Zhenyi took Xiao Ling'er over the crowd and found a stall whose business seemed to be extremely bleak, which was strange to say, the stalls on both sides were full of business, but this stall was deserted.
What interested Yao Zhenyi was the banner inserted in the stall, only to see that it was written, "The big incense is not for sale, only the fine incense." ”
Look down and there are four small words of "sincerity is spiritual", and then look at the stalls on both sides, large and small Buddha incense are sold.
Presumably, it is because this stall only sells fine incense, coupled with the last sentence of "sincerity is spiritual" in the last disguise, which led to the cold business, and the people who came here to petition and repay their wishes were the most taboo to say those four words, so they were reluctant to come here to buy incense.
Seeing this, Yao Zhenyi felt a little interesting, and took Xiao Ling'er to the incense stall.
I saw a child sitting on the table dozing off at the stall where the business was bleak, but he slept soundly.
"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper ......"
Yao Zhenyi stood in front of the stall and called out to the child who was sleeping soundly with a smile.
The childish boy reached out and rubbed his eyes and yawned, and when he sat up, he saw Yao Zhenyi standing in front of him, and was slightly stunned, yo, is he still a little brother?
After seeing Xiao Ling'er behind him again, his eyes lit up and he was sitting in danger in an instant.
But in my heart, I suffered, the master was right, the woman under the mountain was really as fierce as a tiger, just a glance made my heart beat like a drum, and my feet suddenly felt sore and weak.
wanted to think so, but he still glanced at Xiao Ling'er secretly, but his eyes were clear and without blasphemy, just like seeing something beautiful and thinking it looked good.
The childish boy retracted his gaze unsatisfactorily, and when he looked at Yao Zhenyi again, he stretched his waist and said, "Don't sell big incense, fine incense for four cents, and don't call me the shopkeeper, those who open a shop are called shopkeepers, besides, this is my master's stall, I just watch it for him." ”
Hearing this childish child's tone, he was like a little adult. Yao Zhenyi smiled and nodded, reached out and took out four coins from his arms and handed it to him.
The boy took the money and threw it with his hand. I said happily in my heart, yes, I can ask the master to add dishes today.
After receiving the money, the childish child looked at Yao Zhenyi more pleasantly, but his tone was still the same, "Hou, I'll go get the incense for you." ”
Just when the childish boy turned around and went to a box behind him to get incense, Xiao Ling'er, who had never spoken, stretched out her little hand and pulled Yao Zhenyi's sleeve in front of her and whispered, "Childe, will the four cents be a little less, I just saw that the other stalls are six cents and a bunch of incense......
Yao Zhenyi shook his head when he heard this, turned sideways and smiled at the girl, "No." ”
Although Xiao Linger had doubts, she still nodded, she was just afraid that Yao Zhenyi would be deceived, so she kindly reminded her. Since Childe insisted, she didn't have much to say.
"Now, here you go. ”
At this moment, the childish boy held a bouquet of fine incense in his hand and walked over and handed it to Yao Zhenyi.
"Thank you. ”
Yao Zhenyi took the bouquet of incense and glanced at it, smiled and thanked the child, and then took Xiao Ling'er to the direction of the mountain.
After the two figures gradually disappeared, the child sat on the stool, looking at the crowd around him boredly.
It was almost morning at this time, and the sun was shining down, but it was a little warm.
"Bang!"
"Oops!"
Just when the young boy was propped up on the table with his hands on his cheeks in a daze, he suddenly received a chestnut, which made him exclaim in pain and quickly covered his head with both hands.
I saw a lazy Taoist in a gray-brown Taoist robe, grabbed his collar with one hand, lifted him up, leaned over and scolded with a smile, "Little rabbit, I'm just going to relieve my hands, and you're napping here again?!"
The boy stretched out his hands and wanted to pull away the Taoist's hand, but he couldn't reach it, so he could only struggle hard, and after a futile effort, he stretched out his finger and pointed at his nose and scolded, "Untie your fart hand, I see where you went to steal wine and drink!"
Hearing this, the Taoist touched his nose in embarrassment, sneered, let go of the hand that grabbed the child's collar, and changed the subject and asked, "Is there a guest just now?"
The childish boy patted his sleeve and said in an old-fashioned manner, "Of course......!
Before he finished speaking, when he saw the Taoist raised his eyebrows and stared at him with a smile, he hurriedly took out the four yuan from his arms, and asked with a flattering smile, "Master, this is four yuan, can you add food tonight?"
"Oops!"
The Taoist took the four coins, gave the boy a chestnut, and then got up, unknowingly put the money into his arms, and said angrily, "Plus!
The childish boy held his head in his hands angrily, and scolded in his heart, bastard!
The Taoist didn't pay attention to the child who was standing, looked at the direction where Yao Zhenyi and the two left, and then looked up at the road on the mountain in front of him, and the light in his eyes appeared Hao Ran manifested such a picture,
Yao Zhenyi and Xiao Ling'er walked slowly on the stairs, and on the girl's body, there was a huge looming demon beast law phase staring at her side, this demon beast law phase actually had three petal marks on its forehead, it bent its waist vigilantly and arched, as if sensing its gaze and roaring silently...
The spell dissipated, the picture disappeared in the eyes of the Taoist, only to see his sleeve robe trembling slightly, and a wisp of cyan incense appeared in his hand, the Taoist picked up this wisp of fine incense and threw it to the child, the child grabbed this wisp of cyan fragrance and immediately opened his mouth and chewed it, as if eating the most delicious food.
"Tsk, this food looks like the reincarnation of a starving ghost......" When the Taoist saw the child's eating appearance, he joked.
The child rolled his eyes, ignored the Taoist, and just buried his head in enjoying the "food" in front of him.
——
Yao Zhenyi and Xiao Ling'er raised their feet and walked towards the mountain, and everywhere they walked was ancient pines towering, a quiet and forest, but it was quite a bit of cicada noise forest is more quiet, and the birdsong mountain is more secluded.
Occasionally, a few squirrels with pine cones in their paws jumped by, and when they saw the two young men, or the people who came and went up and down the mountain, they were not alarmed, but looked at them curiously with open eyes.
Xiao Linger stuck out her tongue at those little squirrels, startled them to squeak and run away, and the girl's heart was undoubtedly revealed.
Yao Zhenyi walked slowly towards the mountain, looked up at the peak that was getting closer and closer, and a temple appeared in front of him, but when his eyes looked up again, he found that a black thundercloud was gathering over the peak!
"Boom—"
Thunderclouds fell during the day, and at the foot of the mountain, I didn't see this rumbling black thundercloud at all.
And the people who go up the mountain are looking at the wonders on the top of the peak and discussing, some people say that this is the scene of the gods and blessings, and some people say that it is a rare vision of heaven and earth in a hundred years, and it must be the blessing of God to know everyone's sincerity and kindness.
At this moment, for some reason, Yao Zhenyi found Xiao Ling'er behind him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed his sleeve tightly, only to see the girl's whole body trembling, staring at the thundercloud with frightened eyes.
"Miss Ling'er, are you okay?"
Seeing the girl's eyes staring at the thundercloud at the top of the peak in horror, Yao Zhenyi asked softly.
Xiao Ling'er's face turned pale, she smiled reluctantly, and asked weakly at Yao Zhenyi, "Childe, can I not go up, just wait for you here......"
For some reason, the closer she got to the top of the mountain, the more frightened she became, and instinctively terribly terrified of the black thunderclouds.
"Well, then you pay attention to yourself. ”
Yao Zhenyi smiled and nodded, and then left Xiao Ling'er here and walked to the peak alone.
......
Peak
The young man raised his feet and walked up the last bluestone staircase, and looked up, a huge temple stood in front of him, and there were several plane trees on both sides of the temple, and the branches of the trees were full of rice paper tied to the end of the red line, which was full of their wishes.
Overhead, there was a black thundercloud, but the edge of the peak cliff was a hazy white mist, which was strange.
In front of the gate of the temple, there is a bronze two-eared Ding furnace, which is inserted with many good men and women to petition for large and small Buddha incense, and the smoke from the incense rises and floats to the thundercloud in the sky, which is amazing and breathtaking between black and white.
As the saying goes, incense does not enter with the temple, and incense falls before kneeling.
When entering the temple, you can not bring incense to kneel and worship, and you need to put the incense down to kneel and worship the Buddha.
Yao Zhenyi took out the bouquet of fine incense and lit it, bowed to the temple three times, inserted the fine incense in the Ding furnace, and then raised his feet and walked towards the temple.
"The mountains fall at dusk, and the wind and snow return to the people at night. ”
There is a pair of couplets on both sides of the main hall of the temple, Yao Zhenyi saw it and muttered in his mouth, which made him feel that this Fengxue Temple was more and more interesting.
"Hope for Nature"
When he looked up and saw the horizontal criticism, his expression was a little positive, around the young man did not know calligraphy, but also saw that the four characters of the pen were vigorous and powerful, and there was no delay between the clouds and water.
Seeing the subtle knowledge, looking at the words is like watching the people, it is conceivable that the person who writes the horizontal criticism must be vigorous and resolute, and the person who will do what he says.
Yao Zhenyi no longer stayed and watched, walked to the main hall, and saw that there were people inside who came out after worshipping and prepared to go down the mountain, but when he came up, he looked very different from when he left, and looked at the thundercloud in the sky as he walked, and it was difficult to hide the fear of Tianwei in his eyes.
Yao Zhenyi stepped into the main hall, but found that after removing the two pillars of everlasting lamps in the hall, only a clay statue of a Taoist was left, and it was empty.
The temple does not put the Buddha statue, nor does it see the statue of the heavenly king, but it is strange to put the clay statue of the Taoist.
As everyone knows, the Tao unifies the vein to seek pure cultivation, and the cultivation is the self-mind, and its own nothingness is like painting bread to satisfy hunger, and it has always been rare to shape statues, wooden statues and other worship gods.
The Taoist is about three classes, divided into upper, middle and lower three categories, the superior one, the way of nothingness, naked, spotless, like the bright moon in the sky, cloudless.
Those who are in the middle of the vehicle fast with devotion to the holy commandments, worship with the holy truth, recite the holy name of the Heavenly Venerable, and satirize the secret text of the Taisupreme.
The inferior person, accumulate merit, travel widely, help people and things, do more good deeds, often check the mistakes, the true nature is incomprehensible, the spiritual origin is significant, or hidden or present, and the immortal is no different.
There is a faint saying in the world, Gou or carving Liang Junyu is not the work of a sergeant;
It can be seen that the unified lineage of the Tao is mainly based on the Qing cultivation Dan Dao, supplemented by the worship of immortals in the middle and the good deeds and accumulation of virtue in the lower vehicle, so it did not spend too much effort on the statue.
Yao Zhenyi thought about these words recorded in the books, and was a little puzzled, but he didn't take it too seriously, the world is full of wonders.
When he retracted his thoughts, he began to look at this Taoist clay statue, only to see that this Taoist clay statue was vividly depicted, as if it was a middle-aged Taoist, with two crossed peach wood swords behind him, and a golden rune paper in one hand on his chest, as if he was reading the edict, the Taoist is a clay statue, but the rune paper is real.
Looking at it from a distance, the clay statue of the middle-aged Taoist looked straight ahead, and his eyes were as sharp as if a divine might had descended from the sky, which made people feel awe-inspired.
"That'...... Yes?"
Just as the young man was looking at the clay statue of the Taoist, suddenly a beam of light shot out of the Taoist's eyes, and then shot directly into his eyebrows!
Yao Zhenyi instantly found that his body couldn't move, and even the aura in the dantian couldn't function.
"Little one, you seem to have a lot of secrets. ”
Just as the young man's body froze, a clear laugh sounded in his ears, and a middle-aged Taoist stepped out from the clay statue of a Taoist in front of him, smiling at Yao Zhenyi, whose eyes were full of vigilance.
The appearance of the middle-aged Taoist Hao Ran overlapped with the clay statue of the Taoist, but he did not carry the two peachwood swords behind him.
Yao Zhenyi squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "The Taoist chief said with a smile. ”
The middle-aged Taoist saw that he was pretending to be stupid, but nodded appreciatively, at a young age, his mind was quite meticulous.
