Chapter 120: Hongya Cave

Lu Ye walked out of Tallinn in a daze, and Fang Shuping followed behind, muttering in his mouth for a moment, he had no intention of listening.

Chen Douyu deliberately suppressed his footsteps and dragged Master Guangyuan behind him slowly, so that Lu Ye had a little space and time to digest and distract.

Today, Lu Ye inadvertently revealed another side of himself, allowing her to really see the sorrow and hatred in his heart, as well as the lonely and stubborn back under the sun.

She knew that Lu Ye's words and deeds just now would definitely make Master Guangyuan suspicious, and she didn't know how many disasters there would be in the future. But she didn't and couldn't blame or dissuade him, and even felt that even if Lu Ye was released to make a big fuss in Yundou Temple, it was not impossible to put a few fires and fight, it was better than such a life.

It is said that happiness and enmity are enmity, but how much happiness can life be in the world? Mortal immortals, emperors and generals, who are not moving forward with a heavy load, smiling and crying at the same time.

Since worshipping under the Hanging Heaven Temple, she has been focusing on the path of enlightenment, not asking about others, just wanting to one day feather flying immortals to get rid of the fetters and pain of this body, and all kinds of things in the world do not linger, and she feels that the joys, sorrows, and joys in her heart are all shackles on the way to heaven.

But since she met Lu Ye, and then walked all the way through the mountains and crossed the river from Ningzhou Mansion, she suddenly found that she suddenly liked the fireworks in this world, and liked to stop and learn to listen to the sound of the spring water in the mountains, smell the fragrance of flowers on the branches, and even taste a bowl of hot noodle soup......

Unexpectedly, his Dao heart was not complicated, but became more and more condensed and clear.

Gradually, she realized that this is what the master said, "to enter the world, to cultivate the heart of the world", right?

It turns out that there is no servant wind and dust, how can we talk about the difficulty of climbing to the sky, and if we have not tossed and turned when no one is around, how can we talk about having seen through the red dust and penetrated life?

In this regard, Lu Ye is his own teacher and a traveling companion on the long road.

She is like a bystander, silently watching his growth in the past six months, watching him chase his dreams step by step.

In the same way, she is growing, changing, learning how to let go of the shadow of her childhood and fall in love with the world again.

At this time, Lu Ye suddenly stopped and saw a gray-robed monk waiting for him outside Tallinn.

This gray-robed monk Lu Ye recognized that it was the monk Hongyuan, a disciple of Master Guangfa.

Hongyuan saluted Lu Ye Heten from afar and said: "Lu Gongzi, Chen Zhenren, the master is enlightened in Hongya Cave and participates in Zen, and I specially ordered me to invite the two of you to Xiaoxu." ”

Lu Ye was stunned and said, "Master Guangfa wants to see us?"

Monk Hongyuan said: "Shizun just heard that the two of them saved Hongsheng's junior brother on the road, so I want to thank him in person. ”

Lu Ye hesitated slightly, and agreed: "In this way, Master Lao will lead the way." ”

Fang Shuping shouted: "Godfather, I'm going too!"

Master Guangyuan heard it behind him and said with a smile: "Fang donor, it is better for the poor monk to accompany you around this mountain." ”

Fang Shuping was flattered, Master Guangyuan is one of the eighteen Arhats of Yundou Temple, and he can be called a Taidou-level senior citizen in Buddhism.

So everyone separated outside Tallinn, and Lu Ye and Chen Douyu followed Monk Hongyuan to Hongya Cave in the back mountain to visit Master Guangfa.

The back mountain of Cao'e Mountain is slightly more desolate than the front mountain, the mountain is full of clouds and mist rippling golden light, a Bodhi tree, worry-free tree, cycad, green sandalwood, podocarpus swaying in the wind in the mountain, occasionally you can see the temple eaves looming behind the lush trees.

The three of them walked more and more deserted, crossed a chain bridge across the cliff, and came to the Hongya Cave.

I saw that there are two pieces of mountain rock that resemble turtles and snakes on the left and one right outside the cave, guarded like a door god, lifelike and vivid, and people can't help but admire the natural creation of the ghostly workmanship.

At the entrance of the cave, there is a flat ashlar stone three zhang wide, on which is carved a chessboard, and on each side there is a stone futon carved into the shape of a lotus flower. I don't know who inscribed the word "hidden truth" on the side of the square stone, and the handwriting is slightly blurred when it is old.

On the left side of the cave 100 steps, the cliff is like a ridge, about 100 zhang high, a hanging flying spring is sprinkled, like a bead like a foam, sometimes sparse and sometimes dense, the pearl foam flashes under the reflection of the sunset, faintly shows a beautiful rainbow bridge.

On the other side of the cave, the stone cliff is smooth as a mirror, and there are two big characters of "Hong Cliff" imprinted, each word has a zhang Xu Fangyuan, and the red paint is extremely eye-catching.

The three of them walked into the cave, and a ray of light fell on their heads. On the rock wall of the south side, you can vaguely see the five Buddha statues naturally composed of dark brown rock patterns, or sitting or lying in different postures, which is the famous "Five Buddha Shadow Wall" of Yundou Temple.

A dozen steps further in, there is a huge rock that rises from the ground and looks like a column. The boulder is fiery red on all sides, and the rock wall is steep and there is no way to climb. There is an old Arhat tree growing on the top of the rock, and an ancient vine hangs down from it, and hangs directly on a large rock shaped like a three-legged golden toad that crouches at the foot of the huge rock, so it is called "Arhat fishing toad".

Lu Ye looked up, Master Guangfa, who had been absent for three years, was sitting under the Arhat tree on the top of the rock dozens of zhang high, and there was a monk sitting next to him with his back to him, as if it was Master Hongsheng.

Lu Ye and Chen Douyu drifted to the top of the rock with Master Hongyuan's wind, and Master Hongyuan bowed to Master Guangfa and said, "Master, Lu Gongzi and Chen Zhenren are invited." He stepped back and sat cross-legged across from Master Hongsheng.

I haven't seen him for a few years, maybe it's because of facing the wall all day long, Master Guangfa's belly is becoming more and more prominent, and when he sits, his belly can almost hang down to the ground, and Pang Shuo's figure and Master Guangyuan have a fight.

He was still unkempt, with a white and black half-hundred beard, and his gray monk's robe could not cover the big belly of poop that was about to leap out, and he drooped loosely to the sides, revealing his shiny chest and abdomen.

Before Lu Ye stepped forward to salute, Master Guangfa's mountain-like burly body suddenly fell down, and his forehead knocked on the ground with a muffled "dong dong", and said: "Lu Gongzi, the Sprinkle family can't stand your father and son!"

Lu Ye was startled and hurriedly avoided the side and refused to accept the great gift of Master Guangfa, and said with all his attention: "Why did the master say this?"

"Keng!" Chen Douyu came out of the sheath with the ancient sword behind him, and as long as there was a slight mistake, he would attack and protect Lu Ye to kill out of Hongya Cave.

Master Guangfa didn't get up, and said with a wry smile: "Master Lu, don't misunderstand, the Sprinkle family has no evil intentions." To tell you the truth, your identity is already known on the road, and after returning to the mountain, he reported it to the Sprinkle family. ”

Master Hongsheng sat on the stone futon, his eyes were clear, and he bowed down to Lu Ye and said, "After Lu Gongzi and Chen Zhenren killed the land mother-in-law that day, the poor monk's sanity gradually recovered. At that time, I was afraid that the two of them would be suspicious, so I didn't dare to tell each other, and I asked for forgiveness. ”

Lu Ye and Chen Douyu glanced at each other, and they both realized that they were careless.

Master Guangfa said: "Back then, Ling Zun saved the Sprinkle family in the East China Sea, and today Lu Gongzi, you saved the bad apprentice again, our master and apprentice owe you father and son too much! If it weren't for Ling Zun's righteous action, the Sprinkle family would have been buried in the East China Sea and fed the fish and turtles." But if I don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of me...... In the past three years or so, the scene of Ling Zun's generosity and benevolence has been floating in front of me all the time, and I have practiced for hundreds of years, but in the end I have killed my own father-in-law! Lu Gongzi, the Sprinkle family invited you here today, just to make a decision. ”

Lu Ye was vigilant in his heart, not understanding what Master Guangfa wanted, and wondered: "What's the point?"

Master Guangfa slowly raised his body and slammed his right arm off his shoulder like a knife, and immediately the wound was full of blood.

The two masters, Hongyuan and Hongsheng, exclaimed in unison, "Master!" reached out to catch Master Guangfa's fallen arm.

Lu Ye was taken aback and said, "Master, what are you doing here?"

Master Guangfa's face was pale, and he did not use his skills to stop bleeding and relieve pain, and said with a smile: "Compared to Ling Zun's life, the arm of the Sprinkle family is really light, too light-"

Chen Douyu didn't say a word, snatched Master Guangfa's arm with his hand, and took out the holy medicine of Hanging Heaven Temple, which continued the tendons, bones, flesh and blood, and wanted to continue the broken arm for him.

Master Guangfa flicked his sleeves and shook off Chen Douyu, shook his head and said: "No need, the Sprinkler family is just a stinky skin, don't waste your 'Lingjiao Crisp Yuan Paste'." ”

Master Hongyuan and Master Hongsheng burst into tears, bowed to Master Guangfa and choked up: "Master, why are you suffering?"

Master Guangfa said: "Good, good, you only pity me for cutting off an arm, but you don't know that the family has broken a thief in the mountains." ”

Lu Ye didn't expect that Master Guangfa was so strong and upright, and he was shocked and admired, and said, "Master, please hurry up and pick up the broken arm." Daddy, he saved you that day, but he didn't want you to repay yourself for self-harm in the future. Moreover...... I think Daddy would rejoice to know that he saved a good man like you—"

Speaking of this, I burst into tears.

Chen Douyu did not shy away from taboos, held Lu Ye's hand, and said softly: "You endured so hard in Tallinn just now, if you want to cry, cry happily." ”

When they entered the Hongya Cave, she and Lu Ye noticed that an enchantment had been arranged in the cave, and even if Master Guangwen intended to peep, they could not do anything.

Lu Ye shook his head with the corners of his red eyes, and pleaded again: "Master, don't let down my father's hard work, please continue your limbs!"

Master Guangfa stared at Lu Ye for a long time, sighed and said, "Okay, let Hongsheng keep this arm for the Sprinkle family first." Wait for one day, Lu Gongzi, you will go up to Cao'e Mountain to the top of Yundou Temple, and it will not be too late to continue to sprinkle the family. ”

Lu Ye's chest was shocked, and he said slowly: "The revenge of killing my father is not shared, and the younger generation can't help but repay it as a son of man." ”

Master Guangfa smiled miserably and said: "The Sprinkle family does not dare to ask Lu Gongzi to give up revenge, I just hope that you can show mercy to your subordinates in the future, and don't let too much blood be shed on Cao'e Mountain." ”

Lu Ye bowed his head and said: "Master don't worry, I'm only looking for Guangwen alone!"

Master Guangfa closed his eyes in pain and said, "Senior Brother Guangwen is also doing this to protect Yundou Temple...... However, the world has the Dharma of both, and it does not live up to the Buddha and the Emperor!"

Lu Ye was silent, this was a dead knot, and he couldn't untie it.

Master Guangfa slowly opened his eyes and said, "Master Lu, I have something to give you, which can be regarded as returning to the original owner." ”

After that, the top of the rock suddenly lit up, and something slowly flew down from the sky, which was the green bamboo pole that Lu Bo was inseparable from before his death!
