Chapter 24: The Night Meeting
The moon is a small high mountain, and the clouds cover the sky in the temple.
Bilan Chengfang and the two waited at Xiao Gao for three hours.
Yu Fan Hou found a big tree branch and lay down beautifully, Bilan Chengfang said that scholars should not be reckless, so they sat under the tree to rest.
The Jade Fan Hou blew the wind mountain: "Brother Bilan, isn't it that you also slapped your face and pretended to be someone else, and lied that you knew the host of this Tianzen Temple?"
Bilan Chengfang: "Master Hou has misunderstood me, I have been friends with the host of this Tianzen Temple for many years, and today it must be the little novice who reported that he forgot to report." ”
Jade Fan Hou patted the fan: "It's intersecting, it doesn't look like it." ”
Bilan Chengfang: "If you have to be more specific, it is that God has made friends, how much God has handed over, and I put my heart into my heart." ”
Jade Fan Hou put the fan on his face: "I'm compared to you, I really don't have a face." ”
Bilan Chengfang smiled: "Master Hou, don't be too humble. ”
Finally, a small head monk fell from the mountain in a hurry, and came over to accuse him again and again: "The little monk is guilty, sin, not intentionally neglecting the two, it is really that there are some urgent matters in the temple just now, so please go up the mountain, please forgive me." ”
Bilan Chengfang smiled: "It's okay, seeing it is a good start." ”
In the sunset pavilion, the small-headed monk set up the table and chairs, and the two of them, Dao Ku and Bilan, sat around the round table.
Dao Ku opened his mouth first: "When we meet for the first time, I don't know what the two gentlemen call me?"
Bilan Chengfang's face was not red and his heart was not beating: "In the next scholar, Bilan Chengfang, this is my confidant Jade Fan Hou who has been my confidant for exactly eighteen years." ”
The Jade Fan Hou was so ashamed that he didn't speak, and nodded slightly to Dao.
Dao Ku first recited the Buddha's name: "Let the two of you wait for a long time, the temple is really sorry not to go, but there are some emergencies in the temple that need to be dealt with urgently, and the old man is here to sue for a crime." ”
Yu Fan Hou looked at the dirt at Dao Ku's feet, and immediately understood that this sudden accident was probably crazy again.
Bilan Chengfang was generous: "It doesn't matter, Xiaosheng I am an idle person, and the scenery on this mountain is also chic, but I don't think the time is long." ”
Said bitterly: "That's good, I don't know if Your Excellency asked the little head monk to report that there is a disaster in the temple, and I hope Your Excellency can explain a thing or two to the old man." ”
Bilan Chengfang put down the tea in his hand, his face was full of seriousness: "This is the main purpose of my going up the mountain this time, not that I deliberately want to talk nonsense, this is the Daozhen monk of Luohuang Temple entrusted me to convey the Taoist bitter master, and also told me that I must say to the master face to face, the matter is very important, what else does the Daozhen Master say about this matter, but I am the right person to convey this disaster because I have the opportunity, I don't understand it very well, but I don't dare to slack off, overnight... ”
"Brother Bilan, Master Dao Ku is old, you have to know how to cherish time for the master. Jade Fan Hou interrupted him.
Bilan Chengfang smiled innocently: "Master Daozhen said that this disaster is that Guichan will have an eyeless disaster in the near future! ”
Dao Ku was stunned, thinking that it was not a matter of resentment for Luohuang Temple to know.
"I don't know what the invisible disaster is? Does Uncle Daozhen have a detailed explanation?" "Dao Zhen is one of the few people who are familiar with Dao Ku in Luohuang Temple, and Dao Ku also respects Dao Zhen very much on weekdays.
Bilan Chengfang apologized: "This... The Taoist monk only said that this is a heavenly opportunity, and many words and mistakes can only make you watch out in advance. ”
"Since Uncle Daozhen has said so, then I don't insist on asking more, thank you for your hard work to come to tell you, thank you here, it's late today, it's better for the two of you to stay on this small mountain for the night, how about the slackness before, Rongtian Temple to do the friendship of the landlord, in order to relieve my fear. ”
"Great goodness, this small mountain scenery is different from other places, and you can't come up to see it on weekdays, but today I am fortunate to be able to stay overnight on the small high mountain, which is really a great blessing. Bilan Chengfang and the two happily followed the little head monk to the wing room arranged for them.
After Bilan Chengfang and the others went down to rest, Dao Tong walked out of an inner room in the Xizhao Pavilion: "Senior brother, that Jade Fan Hou is the young man I mentioned to you before who was quite talented but failed to enter the Buddhist Dao. ”
"Then this matter is not simple, not to mention whether the news that brought Uncle Daozhen is true or false, just the return of this jade fan marquis is intriguing. The wooden relics in Daoku's hand slowly turned.
"Is it for ... Uncle Shi is here?" Dao Tong was a little anxious.
"Paper can't hold the fire, for so many years, there have been many people up and down in the temple, how many people know the existence of Shi Shuzu, but they have never known the past of Shi Shuzu, otherwise we would not have been able to keep him. Work hard tonight, watch the two of them, in case they go to explore the Cave of the Buddha. ”
"Yes, brother. ”
"Alas, it is an eventful season, and we can only be careful step by step. ”
After a night without incident, the next morning when they woke up, the two had some fasting in Xiaogao Mountain, and Bilan boasted about the steamed buns on the mountain: "The steamed buns that stick to the Buddha's breath taste unexpectedly sweet." ”
Jade Fan Hou sat opposite him: "You can shoot the Buddha's sycophants, you really have no taboos, Brother Bilan." ”
Bilan Chengfang chewed the steamed bun in his mouth: "The person who can climb this Tianzen Temple must be a sincere and kind person, how can I tell a lie here, Hou Ye didn't eat the sweetness of this steamed bun? I also mistakenly thought that Hou Ye and I were the same people, alas!"
Jade Fan Hou shook his fan: "If you smell the fairy qi on this mountain, there is also a trace of sweetness, I am already a little full." ”
Bilan Chengfang handed over a firm look.
After breakfast, the two of them walked around the strange scenery of this small mountain, talking and laughing all the way, like two talents who went out to travel.
When the day was approaching, the two proposed to go down the mountain, Dao Ku kept it, the two also politely refused, Dao Ku personally sent them down the mountain, and the two left Tianchan Temple.
When Bai Gong practiced these days, he was always inexplicably distracted, and when there was no one around, Dao Ku came over and asked: "Bai Gong, these days, you have been a little slack in your cultivation, are you worried about something?"
Bai Gen lowered his head: "A few days ago, I saw a young man who had failed in his initiation a few days ago wandering around on the small high mountain, I... I thought that the master thought that the disciple's qualifications were mediocre and wanted to set up another disciple. ”
Dao Ku immediately scolded: "The Buddha's heart is unstable, the heart of the demon into the body, can enter the Tao is with the Buddha and I have a fate, can practice the nine-step enlightenment Mahayana, even if the qualification is higher than the sky, can not enter the Tao, is also the Buddha no way, the young man just as a visitor to enjoy the scenery, you can be the first to become my disciple, is the greatest affirmation of your nature, now in this small mountain in the new Taoist practice monks, you lead the first, practice well, if you live up to the teacher's painstaking efforts. ”
Bai Gen cried with joy, knelt on the ground and glanced at him several times in a row: "Thank you Master for guiding the disciples to go astray, the disciples should work harder and diligently in the future, get the true inheritance of the master as soon as possible, and live up to the master's careful cultivation!"
On a windy night, the Jade Fan Hou came to the valley at the foot of the mountain alone, jumped into the mountain wind as fierce as a roaring beast, and let the mountain blow himself in front of the Cave, he was ready to explore the Cave again, and after confirming the safety of the surroundings, he walked in.
I haven't seen Mi Yan for a long time has a lot of iron chains on his body, and even his head is full of entanglement, only his eyes, nose and mouth are exposed, but this time he didn't hit the mountain with his head, but his eyes are still full of confusion.
The Jade Fan Hou shook in front of his eyes, and his eyes were motionless, and the Jade Fan Hou could only sit beside him: "I know that the seniors should be able to hear, I came here again and again, just to ask the seniors for one thing, please ask the seniors to teach me the art of immortality, I have the disease of rejuvenation in my body, and I urgently need the art of longevity to prolong my life.
After saying that, he knocked his head three times on the ground, looked up at Mi Resentment, and his eyes were still blank, as if he couldn't perceive everything in the outside world.
Yufan Hou turned around helplessly: "I'll come again until the day my predecessor promised me." ”
He came out of the cave and jumped straight off the cliff into the fierce mountain wind.
Early in the morning of the second day, Bilan Chengfang opened the door and saw the jade fan Hou who was already standing in the courtyard.
"I seem to have heard you go out to the toilet at night last night?" Bilan Chengfang was sleepy-eyed.
Yufan Hou was full of energy: "Then the next time I go to the toilet in the middle of the night, I will definitely call you, I see that you look like this, you should still be in the stage of urinating the bed from time to time." ”
"Bedwetting, a bad habit of virgin close-ups, I can't help it. You don't pee now?"
"Once or twice every now and then. ”
"Master Hou, sure enough, he is still my fellow believer, although he is a confidant who has known him for 18 years, he always feels the same as a true confidant. ”
The Jade Fan Marquis turned his back to him: "Now that the news you want to bring has been brought, why don't you leave?"
Bilan Chengfang: "Nostalgia and forgetfulness, how can I go back if I am not happy, this foot of the mountain looks at this salary mountain from this angle, the more I look at it, let's go, today I also ask my confidant to accompany me to drink and enjoy the mountain." ”
"You pay for the drink. ”
"Why? Such a big Hou Ye asked me to pay for the wine of a down-and-out scholar?"
"Because I don't have any broken silver. ”
"I 。。。。。。 I can't seem to argue with you yet?"
"Then it's decided. ”
There is a wine shop under Tianchan Temple, the wine brewed is called Buddha drunk, the boss said that this wine is brewed with small mountain spring water, this wine will send out the Buddha's light every night, after drinking it is even more magical, the boss's brother-in-law and sister-in-law have said that they have seen it with their own eyes, but this Buddha is drunk with a unique flavor, but no one cares whether their legend is true or false.
Bilan Chengfang and the two found a relatively open courtyard, sat and drank together, the sun was just right today, basking on the body, and the Buddha drunk that had just been drunk was scattered into the meridians around the body, which was indescribably comfortable.
"Master Hou, I think their business is quite big, and they should be able to find it. ”
"If they can't find it, how about you invite me to drink for another month?"
"The light of the sky is just right, this mountain, this tree, to be able to drink with Hou Ye today is always a great joy in life, hahahaha. ”
Jade Fan Hou closed his eyes and continued to drink.
Bilan Chengfang's cheeks were red, and he didn't know if he was angry or red.
In the distance, a beggar with a stick sharpened to a very smooth bar slowly walked towards the winery.
