The sun is setting and the twilight is getting thicker.

The thousand-year-old temple, the sound of wooden drums, and the melodious Buddha horn.

The golden-bodied Buddha who sits on the Daxiong Hall of Shaolin Temple looks at the past and future of this thousand-year-old temple in the rolling red dust with the same tranquility, dignified and benevolent eyebrows.

In the old bricks, ancient tiles and ancient trees, in the old and far-reaching abbot's room, Hong Yuan is sitting cross-legged, a string of Buddhist beads made of sandalwood in his hand is smooth and textured, it is obvious that it has been a few years, and I don't know how many times it has turned. But the Buddha Lord stopped in his hands at this moment.

Hong Yuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then he sighed softly, but then he regained his composure, and the string of Buddhist beads in his hand slowly flowed around his fingertips again.

Hong Yuan seemed to have known that he was coming tonight, and he would definitely come, so the door of the abbot's room was wide open. However, he has already broken through the heavens and looked down on everything, and his heart will no longer ripple with the changes in mundane things.

In the night, a man dressed as an officer, carrying a nine-ring broadsword on his back, was hurrying towards the mountain gate. However, instead of going through the mountain gate, he jumped up, climbed over the temple wall, and went straight to the abbot's room.

Hong Yuan's eyes opened slightly, and he muttered, "I didn't expect him to come so early." ”

After half a ring, no one came in the abbot's room.

Hong Yuan said slowly: "Since you're here, why don't you come in?" Although he spoke calmly, his voice was extremely clear.

Tie Xiao, who was standing at the door, only felt that Hong Yuan's voice penetrated into his heart from all directions, which made his heart tremble slightly, and he had to admire the amazing internal strength of Abbot Hong Yuan.

Tie Xiao said: "I saw that the abbot master was participating in meditation, but I didn't dare to disturb it. ”

Hong Yuan obviously didn't expect that the person who came was Tie Xiao, the general of Xuanfu, and hurriedly said: "I don't know if it's General Tie Xiao, I hope to forgive the old man for his sin of negligence, please come in quickly, please come in quickly." ”

Tie Xiao walked in and saluted Hong Yuan, "The door of the abbot's room is open, could it be that he is waiting for someone?"

Hong Yuan said slowly: "Indeed, Lao Wei is waiting for one person, or two. ”

Tie Xiao said: "That must not be under the line. ”

Hong Yuan smiled and said, "It's really not, the old man never thought that the general would come." ”

Hong Yuan continued: "But seeing that the general is in a hurry, is there something important?"

Tie Xiao said: "Nothing can escape the master's eyes. He continued: "Does Master Abbot know that the border pass is in danger recently?"

Hong Yuan said: "It's the Tatar Achi Rabbit who is going to invade the south, right?"

Tie Xiao said: "Exactly, the Tatar soldiers are divided into three routes, and they want to attack the three towns of Taiyuan, Ningxia, and Xuanfu at the same time, and it seems that they are determined to win!"

Hong Yuan asked slowly: "Since the general is the chief soldier of Xuanfu, he still has time to come here, I don't know where the old woman can serve?"

Tie Xiao lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid I'm really going to bother the abbot master in the future." ”

Hong Yuan said: "General Tie, please speak." ”

At this time, a strong wind suddenly rose outside the house, rushing straight in, blowing the nine-ring purple gold knife on Tie Xiao's back with a clang.

Tie Xiao looked outside the room and said, "Master, can you close the door?"

Hong Yuan sighed slightly and said, "Those who should come will definitely come, it's the old man who has done more, close it." ”

Tie Xiao closed the door and said, "Master, do you remember the Song of Baked Cakes?"

Hong Yuan stared at Tie Xiao for a while before saying, "It seems that General Tie brought this "Song of Baked Cakes". ”

Tie Xiao nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Hong Yuan said: "The general wants to store this treasure in the temple?"

Tie Xiao said: "This ballad is very important, and the pattern on the sword body of the 'Ganjiang' and 'Mo Evil' can be calculated that King Wen of Zhou's innate sixteen hexagrams, through the will of heaven, and can even predict the future, I am afraid that the Xuanfu will lose, let this treasure fall into the hands of A Chitu, that will be extremely unfavorable to my Ming Dynasty." ”

Hong Yuan said: "The general is dedicated to the country, and the old man admires it, but..."

He paused for a moment, then slowly continued, "It's just that everything is fixed. ”

Tie Xiao was a little puzzled and said, "I hope the master will make it clear." ”

After half a ring, Hong Yuan said slowly: "The Song of Baked Cakes can be handed over to one person." ”

Tie Xiao's eyes flashed, "Who?"

Hong Yuan said: "His name is Zhou Jinyu." ”

Tie Xiao could barely believe his ears: "Zhou Jinyu?"

Hong Yuan said: "The general knows him?"

Tie Xiao sighed and said: "He is the nephew of the general soldier of Taiyuan Town, who is in Xia's worship, and I met him earlier, but I only know that his parents are dead now, and I don't know where he is now." ”

Hong Yuan smiled and said, "That's a lot easier." ”

Tie Xiao wanted to speak and stopped: "But..."

Hong Yuan said: "The general doesn't have to be suspicious, everything has its own certainty." ”

Tie Xiao said, "Then where should I find him?"

Hong Yuan said: "You don't have to look for it. ”

Tie Xiao raised his head and asked with doubts, "Don't you have to look for it?"

Hong Yuan nodded and said, "The general just tells this ballad and brings it back to the mansion and waits for it to change." ”

Tie Xiao didn't know what to say, he just stood there, a little hesitant.

Hong Yuan smiled slightly: "The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, the old man must not leak the heavenly opportunity again, and he still hopes for General Haihan." ”

Tie Xiao believed that Hong Yuan had already penetrated the heavenly machine, so he no longer hesitated, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Master for your advice!" He continued: "There are still military affairs in the body, so I won't bother the abbot master." ”

Hong Yuan said slowly: "The general walks slowly, and the annoying general still closes the door." ”

The door was gently closed, and Tie Xiao was already hidden in the darkness.

Dark clouds obscured the moonlight, and the night grew darker.

After a while, this thousand-year-old temple was bathed in a drizzle, and the roof tiles were new.

Candlelight is like a bean.

Hong Yuan still closed his eyes and meditated, his expression was extremely peaceful.

Hong Yuan knew that today was his limit, so he couldn't promise Tie Xiao to keep the "Song of Baked Cakes" for him anyway. And Zhou Jinyu must be the chosen person to open the secret of "Baked Cake Song". At this time, Hong Yuan's heart was still calm.

With the sound of the guqin of "Zheng Zheng", the peace and tranquility of the ancient temple on a rainy night were also broken.

This guqin seems to come slowly from the sky, the sound quality is excellent, and it is played "Sending Cold on a Rainy Night". The sound of the piano is cold, like an ice pick, and it makes people want to add a few more clothes.

But under the lonely lamp, Hong Yuan's expression was still peaceful.

At this time, Hong Yuan's door was pushed open from the outside, and the person who came was Hong Yuan's eldest disciple Pu Neng, whose one-finger Zen skills and great wisdom and indefinite fingering had been perfected, and he was a rare good hand in this thousand-year-old temple.

However, at this time, Pu Neng seemed a little flustered.

Pu Neng said in a trembling voice: "Division... Master, do you hear the sound of the piano?"

Hong Yuan sighed softly, he looked a little disappointed and said, "Pu Neng." ”

Pu Neng hurriedly lowered his head and said, "The disciple is here." ”

Hong Yuan said slowly: "When can you overcome the anxiety in your heart, when can you complete your merits." ”

Pu Neng clasped his palms together, and his expression had calmed down a lot: "Disciple, remember. ”

Hong Yuan said: "You go out." ”

Pu Neng raised his head and looked at the master with a peaceful face and said, "But..."

Hong Yuan opened his eyes slightly and said, "Have you forgotten what you just said for your teacher?"

Pu Neng hurriedly said: "The disciple doesn't dare. ”

Hong Yuan said: "The disciples of Shaolin Temple don't come to the abbot's room again tonight. ”

Pu Neng's eyes flushed slightly and said, "Master..."

Hong Yuan didn't answer his words, and said slowly: "Close the door and tell all the juniors and disciples to participate in meditation with peace of mind, and don't be spared by the sound of the piano." ”

"Yes. Pu Neng Heshi withdrew.

At this moment, there was no more noise in the abbot's room, only the cold and penetrating sound of the piano.
