Winter goes to spring, flowers fall and bloom, Lu Xihua is still sitting on the futon and not moving, at this moment, his body has also turned into a stone shape, wearing cloth clothes, sitting with his bare head closed, the futon has also turned into a stone seat, and he can't see the original appearance.

The appearance of Lu Xihua's fossilized people is also becoming more and more blurred every other day, and finally only the approximate location of the eyes, ears, nose and mouth can be distinguished. The surrounding hall has disappeared, the temple has been deserted, the courtyard wall and the firewood house have all turned into barren grass, only a stone platform with a radius of ten steps remains, and only the stone man sits on the stone seat. Birds often flew in front of Lu Xihua, and some small birds on Lu Xihua's head and body, making the stone figures all mottled with bird droppings. There are apes come to the stone platform to fight, grab small stones and throw each other, there is no place to hide on the stone platform, only around the stone man to dodge, a lot of stones hit the stone man's body, face, draw out the road white marks.

I don't know how long later, an old woman came, and saw that there was a stone platform here, and there was a stone seat on the side of the stone platform, and there was a stone man on the stone seat, so she respectfully kowtowed to the stone man and chattered to the stone man. The old woman often came every now and then, sometimes with a fruit in front of the stone man, sometimes she came empty-handed, and often talked about her own family in front of the stone man, what Japanese people were driven away, her own people fought again, and her son was arrested and strong... Later, the old woman did not come, and she became lonely in front of the stone man again.

I don't know how long later, a group of people came to the mountain and saw the stone man smiling. He took out the red cloth color stripe, dressed up the stone man, moved the stone man to the side of the mountain wall, and sang and danced in front of the stone platform, saying that the whole country was liberated. After making a fuss for a while, I went down the mountain, and someone proposed to build a temple here, but was stopped, saying that this was feudal superstition, and now that the people have been liberated, they can't do this anymore. So the stone man was quiet again, and the red cloth stripes on his body were taken away again, but the mountain quickly put on new clothes for the stone man, and countless thin rattan and vine leaves wrapped the stone man firmly.

One day, another group of people, with beaming faces and carrying hoes and hammers, came here, and they built a school around this stone platform, and countless children went to school here. The stone man was found from between the mountain walls, and the stone man was full of moss and small insects at this moment, and when everyone moved the stone man away, more than a dozen centipedes came out of the ground, which scared a female teacher so much that she almost cried.

The stone man was moved to a small room in the school, and a stone lampshade was attached to a skilled stonemason, and from then on, the stone man became a stone man lamp, which was erected next to this hut called the library, and used as a street lamp at night. The children in the hut went in and out, and the students in the school also went in and out, and before you knew it, there were fewer people, and it seemed that they all participated in the labor and earned their work. One day, the school was lively again, and many people poured in to celebrate the success of the first atomic bomb in their homeland.

Happy times are always short-lived, and one day when no one comes to the school at all, a group of young people with red cloths on their arms burst into the school, arrest the school's principal and teachers, lock them in the library, and smash and write all kinds of slogans all over the school. Someone wanted to knock the stone lantern too, but the pattern on the stone lantern was an ordinary clothes, not a monk's robe or a Taoist robe, and was stopped, "What are you doing with a broken lamp?" "When I was a child, I ran fast and hit my head on it, you see this is it, it hurt at the time." "Hahaha..."The voice disappeared, and the stone lantern avoided the fate of being knocked out of the head.

Later, the school was turned into a cowshed and a horse pen, and many old men were locked in, where they fed the cattle and horses during the day and repaired farm tools, and at night they were pulled out for meetings with high hats, and sometimes they were pulled out during the day. People kept coming in and people going out, some people got out alive, and some people fell down and never got up. Ever since the old man who had come to light the candle every night had fallen, the silence had regained in the lamp.

One day, the whole school turned into a sea of black and white, the great man died, everyone wept bitterly, and many old people and children fainted on the ground. After that, it turns into a sea of joy again, celebrating what has been knocked down and what has ended. The school has become a school again, and there is also a night hall, and everyone has to go to university. At this moment, the stone lantern is lit again at night, and many people are studying under the lamp.

Many people walked out from here and never came back, some people came back, looked around in the school, touched this mottled and dilapidated stone man lamp in front of the Tao library, muttered to themselves, many days and nights, it was this stone man lamp that illuminated them, some people caught insects and made trouble under the lamp, some people were waiting to study, and some people were gossiping under the lamp.

Not why, just because this stone man lamp shines the farthest and brightest, a little light can emit ten thousand times more light in the stone lamp. Everyone admired the craftsmanship of the stonemasons back then, but unfortunately the stonemasons died early and did not pass on the craftsmanship, leaving only this stone lamp here, which still shines on everyone every night.

Slowly, there were fewer students in the school, everyone went out to work, there were fewer and fewer children in the village, and the lights on the stone figures stopped turning on.

One day, it was raining heavily, and many people ran here again with their belongings, and soon the army came and set up a temporary base for resettlement at the school. It seems that the Yangtze River has flooded, many provinces and cities have been affected, low-lying areas have been submerged, and people who have lost their homes can only run to this abandoned school in the mountains. On this night, the stone man lantern was lit again, shining on every broken heart in the playground.

Later, everyone cheered, it seemed that the water had receded, and the school was quiet again, and some people touched the stone lantern that accompanied them before leaving, and some people told others about the history of this lamp, starting from his grandfather when he was a child, saying that this lamp has been around for years, at least sixty years, his grandfather studied by this lamp when he was a child, his father also studied here, and his own children will also study here in the future.

Yes, within a few years, some of the people who had gone out to work came back with a fortune and built a new school in a more convenient place. The school was completely quiet, and no one cared about it, until one day, a monk came and said that the school was their monastery. This monk seems to have a lot of believers, and soon someone donated money and materials, and a glorious temple rose from the ground, with red walls and green tiles, and stone lamps as witnesses for sixty or seventy years, it seemed that they deserved a higher status, but unfortunately, no.

The monk looked at the stone lamp and said that it was not something from their temple, it was just something carved casually by ordinary craftsmen, but it was a little older, and with improper maintenance, it looked a lot mottled on his body. The Buddha statues in their own temples are carved from fine wood by famous craftsmen, pasted with thick gold leaf, so that they are solemn, this tattered stone lamp is a kind of thing, it is erected in the mountain gate, a corner of the fish pond, become a member of the guarding stone road, and can also exert a little residual heat.

The stone man lamp is lit at night and extinguished during the day, watching the people who come and go to pray to the gods and worship the Buddha. Some officials drove small cars to pray for official luck, some wealthy businessmen came to pray for fortune with their second wife in their arms, some residents came to pray for the recovery of their families with solemn brows, some students who came to pray for a smooth academic journey, and of course, there were more tourists in an endless stream.

The monks in the monastery, like the monks in the Daexiangguo Temple, began to sell all kinds of consecrated pendants and trinkets. Some are wood, some are plastic, some are stone, but none of them are jade, and none of them are made by hand, all of them are wholesaled from a small place called Yiwu. The entrance of the mountain temple is full of monks who sell incense and look at their faces. Sell a sachet and ask for 88 pieces of peace, burn a pillar of good incense for 1,000 yuan, and there will be no less than 500 yuan. The monks in the temple are getting richer and richer, and the crowd of people who come to visit is also increasing, and there are shouts, pictures and friends everywhere. There are many disputes in front of the temple, tourists and tourists fight, tourists and hawkers fight, tourists and tour guides fight, and tourists and monks fight, of course, all this, it subsided in a few days, and the inside and outside of the temple is still full of incense and people's voices.

Every day, the stone lanterns can be seen, many monks clock in and out of work, after work they drive or ride away, and some also have wives and children, from time to time to see them. The reputation of the monastery is very great, and sometimes many eminent monks and monks are invited to come to preach the scriptures and teachings, and more of them are consecrated for everyone. The stone man lamp is in the courtyard, every day I listen to the temple loudspeaker playing all kinds of scriptures, but I haven't heard a monk himself read the scriptures clearly and completely, everyone is carnival, everyone is intoxicated, everyone is deceiving others or themselves.

This year is the 80th anniversary of the Lugou Bridge Incident, one day, the weather is fine, and outside the temple there are two or three thousand tourists and believers who come to worship the Buddha, many tourist cars, private cars, and luxury cars are parked in the parking lot outside the temple.

At noon, a huge thunder resounded in the sky, many tourists thought that it was going to rain heavily, so they entered the temple to hide from the rain, the monks in the temple saw a lot of people, and began to sell the stone pieces that had been lit in their own courtyard, only the guests who had bought different grades of stone chips, could go to different places to avoid the rain. Ordinary visitors can only crowd under the main hall and eaves.

There was a burst of thunder in the sky, but there was no trace of dark clouds, everyone was wondering, only to see countless lightning gathering in the air, forming a lotus flower shape, everyone was amazed, took out their mobile phones to take pictures, videos, and two beautiful anchors, directly to the live broadcast scene to the country's cockfighting users.

The lotus flower woven by lightning accumulates bigger and bigger, hovers in the air, suddenly, a torch lightning straight to the mountain temple, frightens the visitors in the temple to panic, and wants to flee. At this moment, a monk shouted, "With the blessing of the Buddha in my temple, it will be fine." When the words fell, there was nothing in the temple, and everyone was surprised, thinking to themselves, this temple is really blessed by the Buddha, and there will be more incense and worship in the future. Many people are considering whether to ask for an enlightened Jade Buddha to go back.

It was too late to say that it was too late, and thousands of tourists were still thinking about it in the courtyard, when they saw lightning coming to the courtyard and striking a stone lamp on the edge of the fish pond at the foot of the courtyard. Many people hurriedly turned their bodies sideways and covered their eyes, for fear that the stone man would explode and hurt themselves

The stone man lamp was struck by lightning, and it did not explode as in the eyes of everyone, but turned into silk lines on the stone man, and did not enter it, and the stone lamp on the stone man lamp turned into powder and fell to the ground.

Everyone was wondering, and they saw cracks on the surface of the stone figures, and pieces of stone began to fall. Where there are a lot of drops, it glows golden, revealing what's inside.

The stone chips fell more and more, gradually revealing the true form inside, and it turned out to be a bald man with a golden body, "I don't know if it's real gold?" everyone thought so, and no one thought it was a living person.

The man with a golden body, naked on the upper body, pants on the bottom, wearing a pair of boots, holding his knees with both hands, could not see what the way was coming.

At this moment, a monk came to greet everyone, telling everyone to stay away, this is the property in the temple, not touchable, everyone thought that this was the previous temple in order to preserve the property, poured the golden statue, at this moment was struck by lightning, appeared, have sighed that there is still this treasure in the temple, but I am afraid that the abbot of the temple does not know, put him in the fish pond. If it weren't for the thunder falling from the sky today, I don't know when I would know that this was a monk made of gold, but I don't know if it was pure gold.

Lu Xihua has been motionless for eighty years, and the sound of scriptures kept ringing in his ears at first, but then the sound of scriptures was cut off, but he knew the external situation in his mind, and at this moment he was struck by lightning, and he opened his eyes at a glance, and saw two monks who were coming towards him.

Before the two monks came to the golden man, they saw that the golden man suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes shone like electric light on him, and he fell to the ground in fright.

Lu Xihua slowly stood up, with Lu Xihua's actions, his body became bigger and bigger, and when he stood up completely, he was already five feet tall, and the place in the courtyard had long been unable to allow him to stand, and he stepped into the air with one step. At this moment, the thunder lotus flower in the air has been scattered, turning into a little thunder light and falling.

At this moment, Lu Xihua's upper body was naked, his muscles were pierced, and after a bald head, a light wheel turned into a light wheel, almost two feet, his whole body was golden, and a glass-colored lotus flower turned into a flame and rotated around Lu Xihua's upper body. Thunder fell in the air, and on Lu Xihua's upper body, it turned into a four-zhang Dharma belt around his neck, armpits, and waist, fluttering in the wind.

When everyone in the temple saw this strange scene, they were already stupid, in this era when human beings have landed on the moon, such an inexplicable god suddenly appeared, which has exceeded the imagination of the world. Many monks slowly bowed to the ground, "The little monk has seen Venerable Arhat. When the tourists heard that this was the legendary Venerable Arhat, they were shocked that someone had weak legs and feet, and they wanted to kneel.

Lu Xihua's eyes were like electricity, and he said slowly, "I have the Vajra Method, and I hold it like a rampant, and those who look at the world are all sad people. The sound was like thunder and lightning, shaking several mountains slightly, frightening everyone in the temple at a loss.

"You have opened a temple here and deceived many people in the world, and today I have destroyed this temple as a warning. All sentient beings must remember that it is better to ask for others than for themselves, and the Buddha can't even save himself, how can he save the world. After Lu Xihua finished speaking, he pressed down with his left palm, and between one blow, there was no sound, and the entire temple turned into ashes in an instant, and was blown by the mountain wind, and it was gone.

Lu Xihua jumped into the air and headed towards the mountain city, leaving only thousands of monks and tourists standing on the barren mountain, blowing the mountain wind, at a loss.
