In the early morning of late autumn, the pavilion is shrouded in light frost and mist, and it is majestic and solemn like a fairy mountain pavilion.

Today's fog is a little different from usual, until the original heart has recited the Lengyan Sutra, the Great Compassion Mantra, and the Heart Sutra twice, and the fog has not dissipated. When he came to the courtyard, the mist immediately crept all over his body, covering his monk's robe with a light veil, and he shivered, feeling that the people under the mountain were not wrong. The cloud mountain is towering, the pavilion stands on the peak of the cloud mountain, it is separated from the world, and the house is continuous and majestic, the palace is in disrepair, many courtyards are overgrown, and today it is lined by this fog, is it not a little gloomy and weird, no wonder it is recognized as the territory of the goblin. Fortunately, he doesn't go down the mountain often, and occasionally goes to buy something, and he has long been accustomed to the people under the mountain calling him a "demon monk".

In today's weather, I still need to add another piece of clothing, and I was about to go back to the house, when I suddenly heard the hoarse howl of the jackdaw from behind, like a sharp blade cutting through the corner of the dream. He turned his head and saw that the gate of the mountain temple had opened at some point, and half of the door was crumbling. He walked over and lifted up the half-damaged wooden door, and it was better to renovate the few temples that he usually used, and reclosed the door as he thought about it. At this moment, he saw a white figure stumbling towards him on the rugged mountain road, and the figure looked back from time to time, as if he was afraid that someone would catch up. When I got closer, I saw that the person who came was a young woman, her little face was pale and haggard, her head was full of green silk floating out, and the broken hair on her forehead was wet with mountain fog and resigned to her face, making the whole person more thin and pitiful, wearing a snow-white gauze dress, the layers of skirts have been blown to pieces, like a snow lotus blooming in the wind, and the silk shoes on her feet are covered with mud, and she has long been unable to distinguish the color.

At the beginning of the heart, I was stunned for a moment, and no one dared to come to the Tan Pavilion for more than ten years, who was this woman? How did she climb all the way to the top of this cloud mountain, which even a strong man could not see? Could it be that the mountain goblins were haunting?

The woman soon came to Chuxin, knelt down to him with a plop, and begged, "Master, help!" The voice was crisp and clean, like a spring hitting a mountain rock, it was very good, although it was a cry for help, it was neither humble nor arrogant, and it seemed to be different from the demon in the book.

Looking at the strange woman who suddenly appeared in the fog, he hesitated whether to step forward, and it was difficult to choose for a while. Save her, maybe she's a cunning demon. If she doesn't save her, maybe she's just a woman in distress. After thinking for a while, Chuxin figured it out: humans and demons are all sentient beings, so why should they be treated differently?

The woman's eyebrows and eyes were lowered and she knelt in front of her original heart, the light frost on the ground had not disappeared, and the woman's clothes were thin. She originally imagined that such a delicate fallen beauty as her would kneel in front of him, and the ice sculpture should also melt, but she didn't expect him to turn a blind eye. So she knelt on the cold stone slab like anger and refused to get up, but wanted to see how long this monk could last!

The monk who is not good at words is waiting for the woman to make a request, and the conceited and beautiful woman is waiting for the monk to pity the jade. The two froze for a long time.

The woman knelt for a long time, and finally couldn't stand it, and secretly moved her knees, and a pair of feet of the original intention before meeting had not moved half a minute, as if it had turned into a stone Buddha in the fog, and she could stand in the vicissitudes of life. She bared her teeth and roared in her heart: "Silly monk, you have something to say! This girl's golden body, at this moment, she has unloaded her whole body of spiritual power and knelt here! Even if you don't have Buddha nature, you have a little human nature!"

Before the first meeting, this living person couldn't kneel for a long time, but he didn't know what to do, the fog had completely wet his clothes, he shivered, and saw that the woman was still motionless. What did she want to do? So he had to say, "I don't know why the donor is kneeling here? ”

When the woman heard this, she looked up at him, her eyes full of astonishment. When she saw that Chuxin was really about to leave, she said eagerly: "Master, slow down! If Master doesn't save her, the little girl's life will not be long!" Seeing that Chuxin was still standing in place, she hurriedly added: "The little girl came from a small town in the south, and she was originally a servant girl of a rich family, and she didn't want the head of the family to be a concubine when she was in the middle of her ears, although I was a slave, I didn't want to cling to it, and I only wanted to be accompanied by a heart in this life, so I tried every possible way to escape here." Now that I have no long things and no longer have the strength to escape, I only hope that Master will have mercy and leave me here. ”

Only then did Chuxin see her eyes clearly, as if the stars were falling all over the sky, containing endless friendship, smart and clear, and she wanted to talk and rest, gathering at the moment with a shining water, stubbornly refusing to fall. He believed that a person who could have such a pair of eyes must have a clean soul. He has never been in contact with red dust since he was a child, and he does not know the dogmas of secular men and women, and in his heart, everything is false, whether it is a man or a woman, but it is just a skin, and when it comes, it is all dust and dust, and the important thing is the soul. So he said, "Do you know where this is?"

"I've only heard that this is the territory of youkai, and no one dares to come up, except... Speaking of this, the woman looked at her original heart.

"Except for the 'Demon Monk', that's right, I'm the 'Demon Monk', so it's up to you to decide whether to go or not. After saying that, he turned around and went back to the temple.

The woman hurriedly rushed up and said, "I'll stay!" Anyway, I'm dead on the left and right, rather than being taken back to waste, it's better to die here cleanly, and if there are really monsters that eat me to fill my stomach, it will also count me as a merit." ”

"Can feeding a monster count merit?" Chu Chu was speechless at her thoughts.

"The monsters here have not done evil. The woman retorted in a whisper.

"You only came today, how do you know that the monster has not done evil?"

"Yamashita heard about it. The woman hurriedly explained, seeing that Chuxin no longer asked, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and didn't dare to say anything.

"Then you come in with me", Yun Tan was about to get up, but in the long kneeling without the blessing of spiritual power, his legs were already numb, his body staggered, and he almost fell crookedly to the ground, looking at the monk in front of him who had turned around and walked like a temple depths, she hurriedly supported the ground with both hands, stood up tremblingly, and cursed secretly in her heart: "This dead monk is too indifferent, let me kneel for so long without saying anything, and he didn't even come up to help me." ”

Hiding the unhappiness in his heart, Yun Tan limped to catch up with the monk in front, and Chuxin took the woman around in the temple, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard.

"Pay attention to the courtyard?" the woman looked up and saw the words on the plaque. Chuxin didn't answer, and pushed the door directly in, and the woman followed. This yard is very empty, it is a bluestone slab clearing, the cleaning is very clean, there is a lotus pond in the middle of the clearing, and there is a row of houses on the left and right sides. She saw a huge tree at the entrance, and in this season the flowers and leaves had fallen, and only one lonely branch remained, which seemed particularly lonely. She knew that this was a pear tree, and a sea of flowers would bloom in March, and it was beautiful and beautiful, and she had come here countless times, but the stupid monk didn't know it. Thinking of this, she looked at the empty branches and smiled. Chuxin looked back and saw this scene, the strange woman stood under the pear tree and smiled slightly, as if pulling the time back to the flowery March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the falling flowers are colorful.

Chu Chu has never seen it, and he didn't even think that someone would have a little light on the world. The woman came back to her senses and saw Chuxin standing still, her eyes looking at her. She thought she was blaming herself for walking too slowly, so she walked quickly to Chuxin's side.

"Let's go. Chuxin also came back to his senses and led her into his meditation room. It is said to be a meditation room, but it is not like it, this house is huge, three times the size of an ordinary house, and there are two rows of seats in the outer room, and the top is the two master seats, which seem to be used for guests. Walking inside, there is a golden silk nan wood root carved tea table and a few tea chairs, and the ceramic tea set on the table is worth a lot at a glance. The innermost room was out of sight, and she guessed it was a place to sleep. She didn't look very well, so she took a look and closed her eyes. I thought that there were goblins in the Pavilion, but I didn't know how luxurious the Pavilion was. But fortunately, Tan Pavilion is both remote and has a bad reputation, otherwise how could it be cheaper for this stupid monk.

"Tan Pavilion is just me and the master, and I haven't cleaned the residence much, you sit down, I'll clean up the courtyard for you. ”

"Master, the little girl has a reluctant request. The woman squirmed.

"Say it. ”

"Can I just live in the room opposite Master?" The woman looked at Chu Xin with expectant eyes, and when she saw Chu Chu's serious face, she added: "This place is too big, and there are many wild grasses outside the courtyard, so I'm a little scared. ”

"Good. Although Chuxin felt that there was something wrong, he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so he went out in a muffled voice. Seeing the original heart pass by the bluestone slab courtyard, bypassing the lotus pond and walking to the opposite side step by step, the woman's eyes became deep, and she felt that the wet bluestone slab seemed to come from another world, with the original heart through the old time to the unknown memory. She suddenly panicked in her heart, as if there was something to catch, but she didn't know what to catch.

This sudden woman is Yun Tan, she thought about it for a few days, and secretly listened to the storytelling several times before she set an identity for herself and made up a story. To make the story more realistic, she literally ran in the mountains all night without using any spiritual power. From today on, she will be by Chuxin's side as a "person", and she is willing to promise him a lifetime, even if it is ultimately unsuccessful.
