In a few days, at the foot of Heng Mountain, there were already local officials, hospiters waiting, settling their respective residences, and there were five days before the formal debate, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the palace have their own handover affairs, only the disciples of the academy because they only have the task of observing the wind, and the debate of Buddhism and Taoism is only a bystander, Lin Rang consulted Li Jinglan's opinion and the disciples agreed on the three chapters: no going down the mountain, no trouble, no disrespectful words about the immortals and Buddhas on the mountain. Then he allowed them to travel.

Heng Mountain has been enshrined as the north of the five mountains in the previous dynasty, there is not only the first strange temple of Buddhism through the ages, "Hanging Temple", but also the fifth cave heaven ranked high in the 36 caves of Taoism in the blessed land, located in the border and thousands of years of peace, but also confirmed that Buddhism and Taoism respectively take this mountain as a missionary holy place is indeed not a whim.

One hundred and eight peaks of Heng Mountain, a total of seven palaces, eight halls and fifteen temples are called, the Taoist Buddhist Temple is half each, but there is only a reasonable argument on the mountain and never a secular dispute, so this is extremely rare in the major famous mountains and rivers, so it is not unreasonable for the debate of Buddhism and Taoism to finally fall on Heng Mountain more than 30 years ago.

Li Jinglan really couldn't resist Pei Xiaohuan's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and after finishing the morning class the next day, he took Lin Rang to climb the mountain together.

Go up along the stone steps, from Yuemen Bay to Hengzong Hall ten miles long road, one mile and one pavilion are different, want to go up and add clouds and mist, look far away on the winding mountain road, the upper part of each pavilion looms between the clouds and mist, such as the heavenly palace, this is also one of the eighteen views of Heng Mountain, the spring dawn of the cloud road.

Approaching the event, not only the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism, some great Confucian celebrities, wild cultivation in the mountains, and folk young talents have also gone up the mountain, on the mountain road, talking about the past and the present, vertical and horizontal, chanting poems against each other, leading to singing, whispering teams abound, Pei Xiaohuan doesn't care about these, he is busy chasing rats and birds in the mountains, Li Jinglan and Lin Rang are wearing college uniforms, but from time to time someone comes to salute, and there is even no lack of advice, and there is no shortage of Lin Rang who stepped forward to push but was also annoying.

Go up the mountain like this, but it is extremely slow, half a day to walk a short section, see four ancient trees on the side of the road towering to the sky, the name is the four great doctor pine, it is said that it is the founding emperor of the previous dynasty did not get the world, passing by here to rest, there are four purple robe nobles in the sleep to worship, the mouth is called Your Majesty, and then it really got the world, then give the name of the four doctors, one said: bachelor, two generals, three said imperial history, four said horses, has been hundreds of years ago, still strong posture, towering to the sky. Panasonic has a stone table, a few stone benches, at this time there is a three-wisp long beard crane hair boy face but it is not easy to judge the age of the Taoist and a middle-aged monk to play, there are also a few people around the onlookers, but it is to abide by the way of watching chess and not saying a true gentleman, quietly. When Li Jinglan and Lin Rang approached, the middle-aged monk raised his head and smiled at him, his smile was natural and appropriate, like an old friend, Li Jinglan couldn't help but be surprised. After the middle-aged monk smiled, he continued to bow his head and play chess, Li Jinglan was originally walking two steps, and it was not good to leave at this time, but he only knew a little about Go, and was not proficient in it, and the things that seemed in the book were imprinted in his mind with his extraordinary memory Wait, there are not many times that there is really a chance, after standing down, the plate is roughly the end, with his visual measurement should be a chess opponent, both of them have no obvious victory, the strange thing is just that these two people's chess, the word is very heavy Buddhist monks, the fall is very fast, often just a little thought, then the fall does not regret, joy and sorrow on the face of the transformation is very fast, and the long beard Taoist is the same look, but the fall is very slow often into the long test, about half an hour, the middle-aged monk suddenly patted his bald head, his eyes looked around, suddenly sad face, sigh stood up, at the long beard long palms together, even apologized that he was too engrossed in playing chess, but his little apprentice was lost, and he wanted to look for it, so he had to leave in a hurry.

The long-bearded Taoist frowned at the beginning, and after listening to the monk's explanation, he didn't say anything, and the monk hurriedly walked towards the mountain, Li Jinglan had doubts in his heart, so he followed.

At the end of the mountain road, there are green dragons on the east and west sides of the Hengzong Palace, and the second hall of the white tiger is guarded, at this time, on the steps in front of the white tiger hall on the west side, a girl in red is sitting viciously holding a small bald ear: "Little bald, return my little squirrel!"

"Little benefactor, everything is spiritual, and if you hurt it today, you will have retribution in the future. The little monk is saving you. ”

"Save you big-headed ghost! Little bald man, that little squirrel was raised by my family, am I playing with it, you see that you are harming it now, it has a home and a family, without me, do you know if it can eat enough and eat well, sleep well or not? If it starves to death and freezes to death, can you tell me whose retribution?"

"Ahh

"Alas, my poor little obedient, I have pine nuts and beans one by one, and I finally raised you, but I didn't expect that today's farewell is the eternal separation of yin and yang, little obedient you will freeze to death, starve to death, don't come to me, you must find this little bald man, he killed you!" The woman in red let go of the little hand that had turned red from the little monk's ears, covered her face with both hands, and wanted to cry, but a small slit was revealed between the middle finger and ring finger of her left hand.

When the little monk heard this, his face was sad, and he clasped his hands together: "Amitabha, sin and sin!"

The girl in red covered her grinning mouth with both hands and couldn't help laughing, and let out a "woo" "cry", the little monk looked up at the girl, and stood up again and looked around, it was really difficult to find the little squirrel with such a big Heng Mountain One Hundred and Eight Peaks. This time, I am afraid that I will be punished by the master, but the master will not be punished, and I have also committed a big precept, so I can't help but sit down in a dejected manner, holding my head in my hands, and pressing my elbows against my knees, not knowing what to do.

The girl in red looked at the back of the little monk's smooth head, and even saved her cover-up, but pinched her throat and said: "My little girl, you are so miserable! If you leave me, you can do chores? Who will break pine nuts for you, who will cook beans for you......" The more she spoke, the more proud she became, the more excited she became, and she was caught in the air by someone from behind, and the girl in red screamed in fright, and turned her head to see that it was Li Jinglan's black face, and she suddenly didn't dare to make a sound, hanging her hands and feet, like a rag doll hanging in the air.

Li Jinglan was sad about his misfortune and angry with him, so he casually threw Pei Xiaohuan aside, looked up at the middle-aged monk beside him, bowed down and said, "The little sister is stubborn, which makes the master laugh." ”

The little monk also stood up dejectedly at this time, and said, "Master, I was wrong!"

The middle-aged monk touched his little bald head with a smile and said, "It's okay!", and I don't know if it's Li Jinglan or the little monk.

Looking at the sad appearance of the little monk, the middle-aged monk gently knocked on the door of his head: "You, come up with some cleverness, people are obviously joking with you, but you take it seriously, you really don't cover your eyes for the clouds, just because you are in a cage." The senior brothers of Landa Temple want to know, and they won't die of laughter!"

The little monk looked up at the master ignorantly, he still didn't understand this! The master is always cloudy, and such a big person can't speak clearly, but this time he wants to sit on the main seat, so he can't carry it clearly, I'm afraid that this year's debate on Buddhism and Taoism will be lost again, alas, this is also very sad!

Li Jinglan's eyes lit up when he heard the three words of Landa Temple, one was the words on the note that came from Li Yundao thousands of miles away, and the other was naturally Master Zhang Baoxi who had rejected the Buddha for 30 years, and he happened to be in Landa Temple. This was originally the purpose of his trip, and he accidentally fell in front of his eyes.

The middle-aged monk knew it when he saw his expression, and said with a smile: "The donor should have guessed it!"

"Forgive me, the kid is stupid," Li Jinglan hurriedly saluted again.

The middle-aged monk was very hearty: "The donor doesn't have to be like this, if it is about seniority, the teacher is on the aisle with the family teacher, you and I are just equals, the old fairy has already had a letter, and when it comes to this encounter, it is said that the great monk owes something, and the old fairy has not returned to the south to send each other, and he wants to trouble you, I am afraid that it will be contaminated with cause and effect." ”

Zhang Baoxi just said in his heart that this time he went north, there may be a piece of luck, Li Jinglan didn't know the reason, but also stumbled into these two monks, the middle-aged monk Dharma name Juehui, is the personal disciple of the host of the Landa Temple, but he is actually a halfway monk, originally a gentleman, because his father was involved in a big case, he had to escape to a small temple to become a fire-headed monk, what does the fire-headed monk do, that is, the temple fires to cook, he rarely reads, but there is Su Hui, never studied Buddhism, but some of the temple's big monks have doubts about the scriptures, he can solve it casually, so that when he carried water later, it was often the brothers and sisters who came to solve his doubts to carry the water, but he easily chewed the grass roots in his mouth, and comfortably told the profound knowledge of Buddhism. Later, when the host of Landa Temple heard about this, he personally went to take the test, and he was fooled by him to pick a pass of water, but since then he has officially worshiped under the name of Landa Temple and become a real Dharma monk. "Carrying water monks" is also spread in Buddhism.

What's more famous is that eleven years ago, before his master went west, he wanted him to inherit the lineage of Landa Temple, "carrying water monks" walked over the wall in the middle of the night, returned in three years, and came back with a little monk Yifan, and said to the host brother, don't force me, give me fifteen years to give you a Buddha who is respected by ancient temples in the world, and then pointed to the little bald head hidden behind him and dragged his back placket.

This is less than ten years, just last year after the old fairy Zhang Baoxi left the barricade hut, the little monk settled here again, and the monks who came and went could not ask and did not fulfill their wishes. This strange monk, before the debate of Buddhism and Taoism, did an amazing move, as an ordinary monk of the Naroda Temple to sit on the main seat to participate in the debate, at the beginning of the Central Plains did not know about him, thought that it was a long-lost monk, after repeated inquiry, only to understand the status of this "monk carrying water" in Buddhism. It's actually a powerful master.

In this way, Li Jinglan only saw a few strokes in the master's letter, but there were more than a dozen pages of spy reports on the side of the black-clothed guard, and there was even a little-known piece of information among them, the black-clothed guard suspected that this person had the Buddhist gate Donkey Kong realm, and the clue was that when the biggest white disaster in Cangguo was born eight years ago, the "water-carrying monk" was still in Cangbei, and in one day, more than a dozen different large tribes between Cangbei and Langxu Mountain received the message of the "water-carrying monk" and retreated south, which greatly reduced the casualties of personnel and livestock. You must know that there are more than 2,200 miles from Cangbei to Langxu Mountain. If it weren't for the rumors, then such a speed would have far surpassed the martial arts cultivation of an ordinary first-grade grandmaster. Undoubted Donkey Kong.

In the face of such a great Buddhist master, Li Jinglan was also a little apprehensive in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of request the "monk carrying water" would have, and what kind of reward he would get.

The two little guys, but they had long forgotten the unhappiness of a moment ago, squeezing their eyebrows and whispering on the side, but the girl in red was originally a line lower than the height of the little monk, but with a gesture, like a big brother and sister, sometimes patted her shoulder, sometimes touched her head, her eyes rolled wildly and she didn't know what idea to play, and the little monk was not ashamed, just smirked.

The mountain breeze is coming, the cinnamon is scattered, the rats are squeaking and the green fruits are chirping, and the birds are chirping and thinking about the clouds.

Yifan little monk thinks this is very good!
