The poem says:

If you get the will, you will feel that the spring is good, and the frustration is sad in the autumn wind.

If you are drunk, the years will be urging when you wake up.

The red dust stains the sideburns and grows old, and the fairy spirit contains the spirit of the mountain.

Dao Po only said a word, and he taught Rotten Ke not to return.

At that time, Hulagus wanted to beat Xu Wenhu out of anger, and the person in the heart mirror naturally agreed, so he only said: "Don't beat him to death." ”

When Hu Laggs heard this, he immediately slapped Xu Wenhu twenty or thirty times in one go, and his face was swollen with his face and a few teeth in his mouth!

Hulagus kicked a few times like a sandbag, until he felt angry, and then stopped.

The Master of the Heart Mirror controlled the bronze mirror, from the depths of the North Sea to Wanlisha, and then crossed the Wanlisha, and came to Linsha City, which took four days, during which Xu Wenhu woke up once, but the Master of the Heart Mirror had already expected the time, Xu Wenhu was just about to wake up, and the Master of the Heart Mirror was a little more casual, and Xu Wenhu fainted again.

For four days, Hulagus slapped Xu Wenhu twenty or thirty times a day to vent his anger. Poor Xu Wenhu, poor face!

After coming to the outside of Linsha City, the Master of the Heart Mirror said to Hulagus:

"I'm familiar with the situation here, and his dervish came here from Beihai, and his first stop must be in this Linsha city. ”

Hulagus asked, "Master, shall we go into the city and inquire?"

The heart mirror said: "Don't worry, let's throw this Xu Wenhu out first, and then I will take you to visit the two major family forces here." ”

As a result, poor Xu Wenhu was thrown out of the bronze mirror by the person in the heart mirror.

After the Master of the Heart Mirror threw out Xu Wenhu, he pointed at Xu Wenhu casually, and then left calmly.

said that Xu Wenhu, after being pointed out by the master of the heart mirror, woke up leisurely after a while. After Xu Wenhu woke up, he only felt uncomfortable all over his body, especially his face, which was hot and painful!

Xu Wenhu slowly turned his eyes to look, only to feel that he couldn't see things clearly, but in a daze, it seemed to be a city in front of him.

Xu Wenhu thought secretly: Yes, I was swallowed by that big fish and died for a long time, this city is the Huangquan City where my soul returns!

Xu Wenhu slowly got up, felt that there was someone behind him, approached, and couldn't help but try to turn his face to see, but when he turned his face, the person behind him exclaimed:

"Ouch, who are you, and how did you get beaten so badly?"

Xu Wenhu listened to Daqi and replied: "Old man, isn't this Huangquan City?"

I didn't want the person behind me to hear it, but he said: "Yo, your face has been damaged, and your brain has also been damaged! What is Huangquan City? We are not in the ghost realm here! You can see clearly, there are words on the city gate, it is Linsha City!"

Also, you see, I'm not an old man, I'm still very young!"

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he tried hard to open his eyes and look at this person carefully, only to see that this person looked like he was indeed about sixty years old! Xu Wenhu thought to himself, looking at this, he is sixty miles away, and it is not wrong for me to call him an old man?

How did Xu Wenhu know that this was already the second heaven world of the Nine Heavens! However, at this time, Xu Wenhu had already understood in his heart that he was not dead!

However, Xu Wenhu was even more confused:

How could I not have died? How did I not die when the big fish was swallowed in one gulp? How could I have not died? How did I get here? Could it be that someone saved me? Who saved me?

Xu Wenhu's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he naturally didn't show a confused look, but his eyes were very confused. As soon as this person saw Xu Wenhu like this, he was about to walk away.

When Xu Wenhu saw it, he said, "Big brother, what kind of place is this?

I heard this man say impatiently: "You are really annoying! Didn't you say, this is Linsha City." Such a big city, if you ask me about people, I can recognize a few!"

Xu Wenhu listened, gave another salute, and said: "This big brother, there are several people I am looking for, among which there are obvious personal characteristics, called dervishes, he often holds a bowl in his hand. ”

When the man heard this, he said, "We don't have monks here, if you want to find a monk, just go to the Linsha Monastery in the city, where there are all monks!"

And when the man had said this, he departed. Xu Wenhu knew a little bit, and it was a good way to go to Linsha Zen Monastery to ask the monks.

So Xu Wenhu staggered forward, and when he walked to the edge of the city river in Linshacheng, Xu Wenhu saw that the water of the city river was very clear, so he slowly squatted down, probed forward with his left hand, held down the river slope with his right hand, and rubbed his body sideways.

Fortunately, the water near the shore was not deep, Xu Wenhu felt thirsty and painful, especially felt that his face was hot and uncomfortable, so he stood in the water, rinsed his mouth, washed his face, and felt better.

However, at this time, Xu Wenhu wanted to climb ashore again, but it was extremely difficult!

The weather here is summer, and the water doesn't feel cold yet, but it's not a problem to stand in the water for a long time!

Xu Wenhu had no choice but to call for help. The place where he was standing was near the gate of Linsha City, Xu Wenhu called for help, but someone came over, and when he saw his face, he was surprised, so he asked: "Hey, who did I say, were you knocked out of the river?"

Xu Wenhu shook his head and said, "No!"

The man said: "Why not?

As he spoke, the man went down the river slope to pull Xu Wenhu, however, the bottom of the river slope near the water's edge was indeed slippery, and the man stopped, and wanted to reach out to pull Xu Wenhu, but he couldn't reach it.

Then the man said, "Wait a minute, I'll find a stick and give it to you, and I'll pull you up." ”

After a while, this person really arrived again, handed the long rod in his hand to Xu Wenhu, and pulled him up. Xu Wenhu thanked him repeatedly, and asked where the monk temple in Linsha City was.

This man also told the truth, and said at that time: "The area in the center of the city, next to the city lord's mansion, is called Linsha Zen Temple." ”

Xu Wenhu thanked this person again, and went all the way to the Linsha Zen Temple next to the City Lord's Mansion in the center of the city.

It took Xu Wenhu more than half a day to get to the gate of Linsha Zen Temple. The guardian monk at the gate of the Zen Temple had already seen Xu Wenhu's "respectful face", and they all said that he was just a passerby.

I didn't want Xu Wenhu to go straight to the gate of Linsha Zen Temple, walking slowly, and his face was swollen and ugly, which made the guardian monks at the door feel a little anxious:

Who is this, what are you doing on our side, why is it that a face has been beaten so ugly and scary, and it is all swollen and deformed?

One of the guardian monks asked, "Donor, what's the matter with you?"

Xu Wenhu saluted several people and said: "Masters, Xu is polite! May I ask the master, have you ever seen a master here, his Dharma name is Mingchen, and he often holds a bowl in his hand, so people call him the dervishes monk again." ”

These guardian monks, for who is called Mingchen, I really don't know, but when it comes to holding a bowl in his hand, one of them seems to remember, and the monk said: "I seem to have seen a senior brother with a dervish in his hand when he was on duty, but I don't know if he is called Mingchen or not." ”

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he was very happy, and said at that time: "This master, is he holding a black bowl in his left hand and carrying a large single knife, weighing a hundred catties?"

When the monk heard this, he smiled and said, "How can there be a single knife? It is true that he holds a black bowl in his left hand, but he does not carry a single knife, but he has a crutch in his right hand, which looks like an old dragon clock. ”

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he felt that it was like and not like it, so he asked again: "Dare to ask the master, was there a few people around him at that time?"

When the monk heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Amitabha! We Zen Buddhists are all destined to walk alone in the world, so how can we walk together and walk together? Speaking of which, it has been a year now, right? At that time, he was alone, and he had no companions. ”

Xu Wenhu listened, and thought to himself: My master and Cuigu sister are with him, as well as Liu Xiaobang'er, the Khan Emperor of Nanping Zen Dynasty, and his wife - this is what Shi Qiangsheng and Aunt Wu told me personally on Dadu Mountain, it seems that this dervishes monk must not be Master Mingchen.

It's just that inside and outside the city, why do I always have a different feeling? What kind of country is this place? How big is the land area? How many states and cities have a population? Where can I go to find my master, sisters, and dervishes?

Xu Wenhu thought about it for a while, but there was no good plan. I had no choice but to say to the guardian monks: "Masters, the monks are merciful! Xu has injuries on his body, there is no food in his abdomen, and he is lucky not to die, so when he comes here, he also asks the masters to take care of one or two." ”

When several guardian monks heard this, they all said, "Amitabha! Donor, you can go to my Zen Monastery to receive porridge and medicine." ”

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he thanked him repeatedly, there was already a guardian monk, the monk who had talked to Xu Wenhu before, and he said "follow me" and led Xu Wenhu to the temple.

But he said that Xu Wenhu followed the guardian monk, Xu Wenhu was grateful, so he asked, "Ask the master's number?"

The monk said, "Amitabha! ”

Xu Wenhu talked with Zhiyuan, only to learn that although there is such a country here, it is very loose, but there are many big cities, each city is not under the jurisdiction of each other, and each is under the jurisdiction of the lord of each city. There is an empire on top.

There are also four major sects of Zen Buddhism, Ming Buddhism, Confucianism, and Jingde Sect, which lead the world's followers to cultivate immortals, or sometimes also manage some big cities. For example, this Linsha City is under the jurisdiction of Mingzong.

At present, Mingzong and Zen Buddhism are not in harmony, Linsha Zen Temple is here, it has become a reception station of Zen Buddhism, specializing in receiving outsiders, do not know the feelings of this place, but flow to this place of Zen people.

This is really unintentional by the speaker, intentional by the hearer, Xu Wenhu heard this, and immediately thought in his heart, Master Mingchen of the dervishes should be an outsider, right?

Since there are such rules here, then, I, Xu Wenhu, must go and meet the person who is holding the cane and bowl, after all, after seeing it with my own eyes, I will die. Moreover, apart from this clue, where else is there any other clue to find Master?

Xu Wenhu made up his mind in his heart, so he asked Zhiyuan, "Master, where is the cane monk holding the black bowl now?"

Zhiyuan said: "That senior brother, according to the rules of our Zen Buddhism, it should be sent to the Jingkong Temple of Jingkong Mountain." ”

Xu Wenhu listened, and asked again: "Jingkong Mountain Jingkong Temple? Isn't he here? It's strange to be here over there, right?"

Zhiyuan said: "It's not far, it's not far, it's just more than 3,000 miles." ”

When Xu Wenhu heard this, he was secretly speechless! Three thousand miles, called "not far, not far"?

Let's say that when the two arrived at Shi Shanzhai, Zhiyuan helped Xu Wenhu get porridge and medicine, and Zhiyuan said: "Master Xu, if you have nowhere to go for the time being, you only need to volunteer with us, and you can come here on time every day to receive porridge and medicine." ”

Xu Wenhu listened, and thought to himself: It's okay to be like this, I'm uncomfortable here, and I can't get on the road.

So Xu Wenhu learned the appearance of Zhiyuan, and also put his hands together, bowed down and said: "Amitabha! Thank you, Master!"

But said that Xu Wenhu stayed in this Linsha Zen Temple, a few days later, the injury has healed, Xu Wenhu also secretly guessed at this time that he must have been rescued, but the person who saved himself beat himself, and his teeth fell out a few times, which can show that the other party must be slapping himself with hatred.

If you hate me, why do you save me? Xu Wenhu couldn't figure it out.

On the seventh day, Xu Wenhu had no more pain on his body, and he was alive again. So Xu Wenhu was about to leave, so he said goodbye to the monks in the temple, and when he specially said goodbye to Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan said:

"Master Xu, if you want to go to Jingkong Mountain, it is better to leave tomorrow, tomorrow the poor monk will go to Jingkong Mountain to receive supplies, you can just take my wind chasing spirit boat. ”

Xu Wenhu was overjoyed when he heard this.

The next day, Zhiyuan really took Xu Wenhu and went to Jingkong Mountain. When he was about to reach the Jingkong Mountain, Zhitong said: "Master Xu, the poor monk can't take you directly to the Jingkong Temple, this is the bottom of the Jingkong Mountain, donor, you go down, after the small town in front, and then go a short distance to the northeast, it is the main peak of the Jingkong Mountain, and the mountain is the Jingkong Temple." ”

Xu Wenhu listened to it and thanked him enough.

But he said that after Zhiyuan went, Xu Wenhu walked to the bottom of the main peak of Jingkong Mountain, and followed the mountain road step by step to the Jingkong Temple on the mountain.

When Xu Wenhu first climbed the mountain road, he also felt that the weather was hot, walking and walking, he saw the tall trees on the road, covering the sun, and heard the birds crying in his ears, like rain, suddenly, there was the sound of the bell, such as wanting to penetrate time and space, and came leisurely, hitting the ear drum directly, hitting the heart, which made people feel shocked and awakened.

When Xu Wenhu heard the bell, he knew that it must have been sent by the bell of the mountain temple. At that time, Xu Wenhu lifted his spirits, accelerated forward, and went straight to the mountain.

Not long after, come to the gate of the mountain temple, the temple gate is quiet, the mountain gate is wide open, a look of the person who comes does not refuse. Xu Wenhu crossed the high threshold and entered the temple gate, but saw that the peach blossoms were red, all planted in a huge tank, and there was a big pond in the middle of the courtyard, and there was a group of red-tailed koi in the pool, but there was a rockery in the middle of the pool, and there were vermilion characters on the mountain, which read: Koi Pond.

Under the vermilion characters, there are four other verses: once you enter the empty door, everything will be off, and everything will be free when you are off. My heart is at ease, and the koi fish turns into a dragon and wins the marquis.

When Xu Wenhu saw it, he secretly said in his heart: The monks really don't speak, although these few sentences are not very elegant, they are also true.

Xu Wenhu bypassed Xiaochi at the moment, but he was meeting a person, this person was Zhiyuan, Zhiyuan immediately inquired and said: "Amitabha!

Xu Wenhu said: "Thank you, master!"

Zhiyuan turned and pointed back, and then left on his own. It turned out that Zhiyuan had already collected the materials and loaded them on the ship, and was about to drive the wind chasing spirit ship to leave, when he saw Xu Wenhu arrive, he stretched out his hand and pointed and told Xu Wenhu where the monk hall was.

When Xu Wenhu saw it, he also understood, and immediately thanked Zhiyuan, and then walked in the direction that Zhiyuan pointed, where the Zhike Hall was located. After a while, when I arrived at the Zhike Hall, I saw a monk at the back of the table.

Surprisingly, the monk sat on the futon, which was said to be lower than the table, but the futon was three feet above the ground, so the monk's appearance was visible.

Xu Wenhu stepped forward to salute, and said in his mouth: "It's disturbing! Murano mortal, meet the immortal master!"

When the monk sitting on the futon heard this, he opened his eyes slightly and said, "Are you Xu Wenhu?"

Xu Wenhu was shocked: This person is indeed a fairy! He can predict my name Xu!
