After walking 10,000 steps, I finally climbed to the top of the mountain, and a thousand-year-old temple appeared in front of me, surrounded by clouds and mist, clean and indifferent.

There is a big plaque with the words "Xuanyun Temple" hanging above the gate.

The door is divided into three lanes, and the central gate has been closed for the past few days due to the refusal of pilgrims, and only the two sides are open.

Ruluo was cautious, glanced around like a thief, poked in from the left door and went in, saw that there was no one around, and waved his hand, "Go in." ”

It's just that when he turned his head again, Lao Huang had already walked in from the right door with a few people and a cat.

Ruluo smiled awkwardly and reminded: "Try not to walk blindly, there are no rules in the layout of the temple, and it is easy to get lost." ”

Xuanyun Temple is a thousand-year-old heritage, and the entire top of the mountain is full of large and small buildings, like a labyrinth, staggered.

Ruluo, who had sneaked down the mountain without permission in advance, looked around, for fear of being caught, and did not return to normal until he walked to the main hall of Shangxiang.

When I got here and was asked again, it can be said that I accidentally fell asleep when I leaned on the back of the Buddha statue to read the scriptures, and after waking up, it was already such a sunset scene.

This trick was an expedient trick he came up with on the fly, and he thought it was brilliant.

The main hall of the Buddha gate of more than ten zhang high, the sacred majesty, the Buddha Shakyamuni is in the middle, on both sides are all kinds of Bodhisattva Arhats, the golden light is shining, the futon on the ground is placed neatly by the little monks, and the ground is cleaned cleanly.

Not far away, there are a few little monks who are carrying buckets and holding rags, carefully wiping the floor, and after a few days, Xuanyun Temple has been preparing.

The little monks all smiled happily when they saw Ruluo, and Ruluo also returned the salute with a smile, which was regarded as a greeting.

The little monks continued to work with their heads down, but they whispered about the flowers and fragrances around Ruluo.

Hundreds of Buddhas, looking at the flowers warm and fragrant, surging in the heart, can't help but worship sincerely.

Several people didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but they all bowed to it except for Lao Huang.

Hei Qiu'er heard about Buddhism and the like when he was in the forest, and it is said that most of the wishes he made can be fulfilled, and then he made a wish to marry Xiaoya as soon as possible.

Ruluo greeted a little monk and asked in a low voice: "Chang Nian, your ancestor didn't ask me to you, right?" ”

The little monk smiled: "Uncle don't worry, no one knows about your sneaking down the mountain, Master Zuming didn't show up for a day, and it is estimated that he is in retreat and meditating again." ”

Ruluo gently knocked on the little bald head of the little monk Chang Nian, "Who told you that I ran down the mountain secretly." ”

Chang Nian, who was a little dumbfounded, touched his little bald head, "Everyone knows it." ”

Ruluo feels that something is wrong, and no one should see it when he goes down the mountain.

Chang Nian asked curiously: "Uncle Xiao, did you find a woman who fell in love at first sight when you went down the mountain today?"

Ruluo knocked on Chang Nian's little brain case again, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, hurry up and get to work." ”

The little monk sighed, and went to get busy with his brothers and sisters.

It seems that it was not found!

"Ruluo, you're back. An old monk with a wrinkled face came from a deeper courtyard and shouted from afar.

After Ruluo heard this familiar voice, the whole person instantly became uncomfortable, and glared at Chang Nian, who was mopping the floor, from a distance.

The little monk looked innocent.

Walked here, the old monk and Hua Wenxiang and his party greeted very politely, I heard that it was a friend who knew before Ruluo, and he wanted to live in the temple these days, so he asked Chang Nian to take it to the guest room, Ruluo said that he would take it with him, but he was vetoed by the old monk, saying that he was looking for something to do.

Hua Wenxiang said that it didn't matter, whoever led it.

At this time, it was not yet dark, and the group said that they wanted to go around the temple first, and the old monk asked Chang Nian to take a few people to the inner courtyard first.

Only the two masters and apprentices of Ruluo Zuming were left.

Knowing that there was nowhere to escape, Ruluo smiled, "Master, you're done meditating." ”

The old monk named Zu Ming snorted, "Ran down the mountain again?"

Ruluo never paid attention to the strict rules of Buddhism, and there was no monk who did not speak, scratched his bald head, and said solemnly as planned: "How can there be, I was reading a book behind the Buddha statue in the early morning, but I didn't expect to fall asleep when I looked at it, and then when I woke up, it was now, and just now I happened to meet with Hua Wenxiang and them, and let them come to live in the temple in the past few days." ”

Zu Ming took out a few scriptures from his arms and asked, "Are you looking at these books?" ”

Ruluo saw a few familiar scriptures and nodded subconsciously.

Zu Ming picked up the broom on the side and put it behind Ruluo's buttocks, "I let you lie, this morning Chang Nian said that he saw these scriptures behind the Buddha statue, but he didn't see you, and you said that you have been sleeping there until now, can you really take the master as a fool?"

Next, the old monk chased after the apprentice and ran all over the courtyard, "You don't obey the rules all day long by relying on the abbot to spoil you, I have to teach you a good lesson today." ”

Ruluo rubbed his buttocks while running, begging for mercy: "Master, it's not okay if I'm wrong." ”

Zu Ming fought more and more, and shouted: "Say this every time, say this every time." ”

The courtyard was littered with broom stumps a moment later.

The little monks passing by around saw this funny scene and couldn't hold back their laughter.

Zu Ming stopped chasing and gasped, "Rabbit cub, you wait for me to rest." ”

Ruluo stopped and persuaded: "Master, don't fight when you're tired, let the abbot see how bad it is for a while, the reason why I went down the mountain is also guided by the abbot, you hit me like this, don't you indirectly hit the abbot in the face." ”

Zu Ming looked at this bastard apprentice who was strong and reasonable, and made up his mind and said, "Okay, I'll make you poor, I won't beat you today." ”

In this way, you chased after me around the whole compound, walked through the pavilion and surrounded the trees, and a good broom was finally beaten alive.

At this time, the old abbot Xuanyun walked slowly to the side of the compound, "Zu Ming, it's almost enough." ”

When Zu Ming saw that the person who came was the old abbot, he immediately threw away the broom that was only a handful in his hand, and folded his hands and said respectfully: "Abbot." ”

Ruluo and the little monks on the side also clasped their hands together and said hello.

Xuanyun, who didn't know how old he was, leaned on his tin staff and asked slowly, "Zu Ming, is there anything else that the Jiangling Dadou hasn't prepared?"

Zu Ming replied: "All aspects have been arranged, and the temple will be able to receive pilgrims normally tomorrow." ”

He sighed in his heart, the old abbot came here for no reason to ask himself these questions, where did he not know, but came to help his unscrupulous apprentice out of the siege.

Xuanyun nodded, "If you fall, you will clean up this courtyard by yourself in a while." ”

Ruluo smiled and said that he knew.

The old abbot is really interesting, and he came to the rescue at a critical moment, so that the master will not be able to trouble himself again, and cleaning the entire courtyard alone is a punishment, so that the master will also look good.

Xuanyun said that he was all gone, and walked back to the inner courtyard.

Zu Ming sighed, glared at him and strode away.

The sunset is red, beautiful, such as picking up a big broom and humming the Buddhist scriptures song, leisurely and leisurely sweeping the entire courtyard.

The old abbot ordered Ruluo to clean up by himself, and the little monks next to him were not easy to help, but they just chatted and laughed with this young uncle from time to time.

By the time the entire courtyard was cleaned, it was already completely dark.

Ruluo put down the broom and went to find Hua Wenxiang and his party.

Although Xuanyun Temple is large, Ruluo has already roughly calculated the location of their group.

According to the whole process, the stinky constant thought who betrayed himself must have led the way to the Bodhi tree.

Two more yards went inside, a towering ancient tree was born in the wooden fence, the ancient tree is as thick as three water tanks, it looks like a super big umbrella from a distance, some of the roots of the ground have grown out of the ground, even the roots are much thicker than ordinary trees, the branches are luxuriant, full of vitality.

The Bodhi tree is one of the most representative objects of Buddhism, and it is under this tree that the Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, this tree symbolizes enlightenment and wisdom, and has a unique meaning for all the monks of Xuanyun Temple.

Next to the wooden railing, Hua Wenxiang and several people sat around a stone table, admiring Bodhi and the moonlight.

Ruluo walked over, pinched Chang Nian's ear, and asked, "Did you find those scriptures behind the Buddha statue and give them to my master?"

Chang Nian tiptoed, not knowing what mistake he had made, and replied honestly through the pain: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

Ruluo saw that the other party still didn't know why, and grabbed Chang Nian's other ear with his other hand, "Because of the good things you did, I was beaten hard by the master again." ”

Chang Nian understood everything after Ruluo's narration, and said pitifully: "I don't know that those scriptures were deliberately put by Uncle Ruluo, if I knew in advance, I would definitely not give them to Master Zuming, I swear...... Don't be angry, Uncle Ruluo!"

He was very afraid of this, because his self-defeating mistakes would never bring them good food after he ran down the mountain in the future.

As if falling on Chang Nian's head, he flicked his brain and collapsed, and then took out a packet of halva and a packet of osmanthus cake from his arms, and handed them over, "Take it and divide it, there is nothing for you here." ”

The little monk grinned, rubbed his little head vigorously, and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Ruluo." ”

After speaking, the little monk rushed away with two bags of delicious food.

Ruluo smiled a little ashamedly at a few people and a cat: "Because of some things, the hospitality is not good, forgive me, forgive me." ”

When several people saw some sorghum ears hanging on the monk's robe, they all showed a sympathetic smile.

Ruluo followed the sight of several people, hurriedly patted the sorghum ears on his body, and changed the topic: "Chang Nian hasn't taken you to the guest room yet, I'll take you to see it first, and then eat fast with the people in the temple, our fast food here is very delicious, but it's a little vegetarian." ”

A few people followed Rulu into a small gate in this compound, and the guest rooms were generally five or six people a room, but fortunately, the rooms of the temple were now idle, so they randomly picked two rooms for the flowers to warm and fragrant them.

After sitting in the room, a monk with an old face came to visit, this person was Zu Yuan, who had previously represented Xuanyun Temple to congratulate Shan Xiongxin on his birthday.

Except for Lao Huang, the group had a relationship with this monk of Xuanyun Temple.

Zu Yuan greeted several people one after another, and said some regretful words, most of which were words of praise for Shan Xiongxin, and specially comforted and enlightened Luo Bei, telling everyone that if they were embarrassed by the Charm Pavilion in the future, they could take refuge in Xuanyun Mountain.

Lao Huang reminded Hua Wenxiang in his heart, "I remember that you didn't want to inquire about two herbs, why, forgot?"

Of course, Hua Wenxiang remembered, and asked, "Master Zuyuan, I want to ask if you have heard of Heavenly Herb and Vajra Flower?"

Zu Yuan thought for a while and said, "King Kong flowers, Xuanyun Temple has them, as for the heavenly herbs, I haven't heard of them." ”

Hua Wenxiang and Lao Huang were shocked at the same time, they really bet right.

Hua Wenxiang was happy, "I don't know if this King Kong flower can be bought for me, or given to me in other ways." ”

Send or exchange or ask for ......

Zu Yuan shook his head, "The Vajra Flower is a treasure of Buddhism, and it is impossible to sell it, as for other ways to obtain it......

The old monk stopped talking, thought for a moment, and decided to divulge the heavenly secret: "Unless you can get the first place in the Jiangling Great Fight, then Xuanyun Temple will promise you a condition, and then you can choose to have this vajra flower." ”

Some time ago, he didn't keep Shan Xiongxin in Xuanyun Temple, the life of this living Bodhisattva in the world has been decided, and he died in the hands of the Charm Pavilion, the old monk was already guilty about this matter, and he was angry, and there were a group of good young people in front of him, including Shan Xiongxin's righteous son, so he felt that he could take care of it, and this also solved his own knot.

After Hua Wenxiang heard this impossible method, she seemed to feel that King Kong Hua had missed out on her like this, and finally a little eyebrow, and it instantly came to naught.

Lao Huang frowned, it was too difficult to win the first place in the Jiangling Great Fight, and it was impossible to complete it in a Crimson Realm. In this Xuanyun Temple, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky to rob, I am afraid that even if I fight for my life, I will not be able to defeat these old monks.

Ruluo asked tentatively: "Uncle Zuyuan, can't you give them to Xiaohua?"

Zu Yuan shook his head helplessly, "The Vajra flower is the treasure of our temple, and it is impossible to give it away easily." ”

There was silence in the room, and this time even Lao Huang felt that something was in trouble.

After a while, Hua Wenxiang stood up and said with a smile: "Anyway, I have to participate in this big fight, let's wait and see." ”
