Chapter 290: Mount Meru
After Ye Fan passed through the rain curtain, he disappeared into the mountains and forests, everything that just happened was just an episode for him, but this episode was a little bitter!
Now that the grievances have been settled, the rest of the matter has nothing to do with him, whether it is affectionate or ruthless!
Now, for Ye Fan, finding a place to rest and tidying up what he just harvested is the most important thing!
"Whoosh!"
Across the sky, he stopped above a small cabin in the middle of the mountains!
The cabin looks quite old, but the overall building is quite complete, the wooden house has no front hall and no backyard, only a lonely one, although it is very simple, but it is enough to shelter from the wind and rain!
This kind of wooden house is actually quite common in the mountains and forests, and it is generally built by the hunters who go into the mountains to hunt! There is no specific owner of the wooden house, whether it is a hunter who enters the mountains or a merchant who shuttles through the mountains and forests, they can stay here. And in this kind of wooden house, there are often some marinated bacon and other easy-to-preserve food for the people who stay overnight!
It's not a rule, it's a tradition!
Walking into the wooden house, Ye Fan found that a thin layer of dust had been laid on the ground, and it looked like no one had spent the night here for a while!
This is normal, because for ordinary people, the mountains and forests are very large, so big that they may not be able to walk once in a lifetime, so it is impossible for the wooden houses here to have guests every day, in fact, most of the time, these wooden houses are vacant, often not a few people pass by for half a year, but once someone needs to stay overnight, then it is likely to become a strong guarantee for the continuation of life!
In the corner of the wooden house, Ye Fan found a small pottery urn half a meter high, and Wengkou was pressed by a flat mountain stone. After Ye Fan removed the rocks, he found a piece of bacon wrapped in oilcloth inside, as well as a small bag of some moldy rice! In the mountains and forests, the air is much more humid than the outside world, and after a long time, the food will inevitably be a little moldy, but for people who are begging for a living in the mountains and forests, such a bite of food is completely enough!
After resealing the food, Ye Fan put them back into the pottery urn. Although he doesn't mind eating these spoiled foods, he doesn't want to be bitter when he has a choice!
With a gentle step on the ground of the wooden house, a fresh breeze spread out from Ye Fan's toes, and countless dust was wrapped in the breeze, turning into a puff of earthy yellow sand and flying out along the wooden door that had just been pushed open.
After cleaning the wooden house, Ye Fan waved his palm in front of him, and a jar of pear blossom brew appeared on his palm.
Wine is naturally used to drink, but Ye Fan doesn't have much of a heart to drink now!
Although he had just experienced a slightly bitter reunion, Ye Fan didn't need to use spirits to anesthetize his nerves. However, the wine brought out of this jar from an inn is very suitable for his own room money during this time! With a slight throw of the palm, the pear blossom brew automatically flew into the pottery urn, and then the Weng Gai made of mountain stones flew up and pressed on the pottery urn!
After paying the "room fee", the light and shadow on Ye Fan's palm dimmed slightly, and then a cut piece of meat appeared in his palm!
The meat segment comes from the Qingtian python in the secret realm of the center of the earth, although Ye Fan has been "trapped" in the center of the earth for half a year, but he still did not eat this ten-zhang long giant python, and after leaving the secret realm of the center of the earth, Ye Fan cut and pickled the python meat in the empty dark stone and stored it!
As for whether the python meat will occupy too much space in the Empty Stygian Stone, Ye Fan doesn't care at all! Not to mention that the space in the Empty Stygian Stone is rich enough, even if there is not much space, Ye Fan is also reluctant to throw it away, after all, this is a demon beast that has awakened the bloodline of the Dark Dragon, not to mention how delicious the taste is, just the medicinal value in this body cannot be measured!
The flesh segment of the Qingtian Python was suspended in mid-air, and an orange-red flame rose from Ye Fan's palm, constantly grilling the snake meat above. As the flames continued to lick, the snake meat in mid-air automatically flipped up, but after a while, a thick smell of meat wafted in the wooden house! It's a pity that at this time, Ye Fan's mind was already immersed in the perception of the battle just now, but he didn't enjoy this tempting breath!
............
Thirty thousand miles to the south, a small hill that looked like it was only 100 meters high and more like a stone mound than a mountain was located there!
Although the mountain is not high, there are five-colored Buddha lights shooting out from the top of the mountain, enveloping the entire hill inside, exuding a strong Buddhist atmosphere, quiet and peaceful!
The low mountain was originally nameless, but since the Bodhi Monastery, one of the three Buddhist temples, was born on the top of the mountain, it has a resounding name - Mount Meru!
There are many interpretations and symbolic meanings of Mount Meru, but here, there is only one meaning, that is, the center of the world, the center of the Shenzhou continent! Geographically speaking, this is obviously a fallacy, and Mount Meru, located in the south of the sky, cannot be in the center of the Shenzhou continent in any case! However, if it is spiritually speaking, the three words "Mount Meru" are well deserved, at least in the hearts of those Shakti disciples who are devoted to Buddhism, this is the center of the world, the well-deserved Mount Meru!
Mount Meru was originally only 100 meters high, but since it became a sacred place for Buddhism, Mount Meru has added another layer of meaning!
Na Sumeru is a mustard seed!
Although the mountain is less than 100 meters, there are 3,000 temples and 80,000 monks inside!
At this time, in the top of the mountain shrouded in the light of the five-colored Buddha, there is a different Zen temple, because in this Zen courtyard, there is a woman, a woman who sits in front of the Buddha statue, but recites the "Great Freedom in the Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra"!
"Squeak!"
The wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and a beam of light shone into the somewhat gloomy Buddhist hall, and then a strong man with a figure like an iron tower walked in!
"Miss, Master Xuan Nan is coming for you!"
The strong man's voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible in this silent Buddha hall! However, the woman who was meditating on the "Great Freedom in the Heavenly Demon Heart Sutra" did not react, and it was not until after a long time that she finished reciting the entire scripture that she slowly stood up from the futon under her!
The woman raised her head, a green silk hair fell from behind herself, a goose-egg-like round face, with a pair of big talking eyes, a small and round nose, a slightly thick red lips, a small dimple on the left side of the cheek, looking like a lively and lovely girl next door!
"Did I go out to meet him, or did he come in to meet me?"
The woman's voice was very faint, like a pool of calm and waveless stagnant water, but the strong man standing opposite her felt a chill deep into the bone marrow, and the entire tower-like body couldn't help but tremble slightly!
"Miss, you don't have to, just ......."
"Shall I go out, or will he come in!"
The strong man seemed to say something, but he was choked back by the woman's cold repetition!
The two looked at each other, and after a slight silence, the strong man lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Master, please go out!"
The woman glanced at the Buddha hall that had become extremely gloomy, but the corners of her mouth showed a hint of pleasant mockery, but when she faced the strong man, she didn't speak, just silently took the lead and walked outside the Buddha hall!
The sunlight shining through the crack in the door hit the woman's face, the sunlight that originally made people feel warm and comfortable, but the woman frowned slightly, and the pretty face exposed to the sun looked a little pale, and the lips that originally looked a little ruddy were as white as rice paper at this time!
"Click, click......"
The two walked one after the other, towards the outside of the Buddhist hall, no one spoke, but the difference was that the woman who walked did not want to speak, but the strong man who followed behind did not know what to say!
The futon under the Buddha statue is only a dozen steps away from the door of the Buddha hall, but the strong man feels like he has walked for a long time at this time, and as the footsteps get closer and closer to the door of the Buddha hall, the struggle on the strong man's face is becoming more and more intense, because he knows that the meeting between the two sides this time is different from every meeting in the past!
Although no one told him anything, he clearly felt the momentum of the storm in the temple. Moreover, this time, the expression when the Xuan Tribulation came was also very different from the past, the calmness of the past had disappeared, but there was a trace of irritability, and the strong man understood that this was because the other party's patience was about to be worn out!
Seeing that the woman was about to step out of the door, the strong man's mouth couldn't help but open, but just when he wanted to speak, the woman stopped what she was about to take, looked at the sunshine outside the door, and said, "Xiao Jiu, how is it now?"
The woman's question made the strong man take back the warning that he was about to speak, and his expression showed a touch of inexplicable emotion, and said: "Xiao Jiu is okay!
"Well, he's fine!"
The woman let out a soft "um", raised her stopped footsteps slightly, and was about to walk towards the outside of the Buddha hall!
Seeing that his young lady was about to walk towards the door after asking, the expression on the strong man's face suddenly struggled, and after a moment, he exclaimed and roared: "Miss, can't you listen to my persuasion?"
"Listen to your advice, let me be their lackey like you, and go to harm your son?"
The woman's original Gujing Wubo's voice suddenly rose twice, and there was a trace of undisguised ridicule between her expressions, although her face was still facing the door of the Buddha Hall, but the strong man standing behind her could still clearly feel the disdain in the woman's words!
The strong man, the iron tiger who came here with the woman three years ago, suddenly froze there with the struggle on his face, and after a while, he said bitterly: "What can I do! It's been three years! We've been trapped here for three years! Actually, I don't want to do this, but what can I do!"
In the past three years, you don't know how we came over! As the junior sister of Gongzi, they naturally don't dare to do anything to you, but what about the two of us! I'm better, I only endure hundreds of cane punishments every day, while Xiao Jiu needs to resist a hundred iron whip baptisms every day! Do you know what kind of whip it is? It is a snake whip full of barbs, and every whip goes down, it is not stingy with a Ling Chi!
Didn't you just ask me how Xiao Jiu was? Yes, he is still next door to you, but do you know how much he still weighs now? Let me tell you, he is now less than forty-seven pounds! Can you imagine what it would be like for an adult man to weigh only forty-seven pounds?
You can't imagine it, but I know, I tell you, when a grown man is only forty-seven pounds, it's a panting skeleton!"
The strong man's voice was very bitter at first, but later, when the questions came out, the bitterness in his mouth turned into hysterical venting. But in the end, when he himself answered the questions one by one, even the hysterical madness disappeared, and all that was left was full of helplessness and confusion!
Ye Lan'er's heart trembled violently, she knew that the three of them would definitely not end well if they were imprisoned in this Bodhi Monastery, but she didn't expect them to suffer like this!
For three years, 100 times a day, that's 36,500 punishments!
In my mind, I recalled the scene when He Song was being beaten in front of her at the gate of the Bliss Gambling House that day! Ye Lan'er's heart slammed up, Xiao Jiu was suffering such pain every day, more than 36,000 Ling Chi, thinking about it was a pain in her heart, and the pain made her almost out of breath!
"Whew, Whew, Whew, Whew......"
The two people in the Buddha Hall fell silent all of a sudden, and only the heavy gasps of the Iron Tiger kept ringing out!
Half an hour later, Ye Lan'er turned her head for the first time and looked at Tie Hu's face seriously!
"Iron Tiger!"
"Hmmm!
Tiehu replied in a low voice, although he seemed a little hysterical just now, but in his heart, he still respected his son-in-law, and by the way, he also respected this young lady!
"I'm sorry for you!"
Ye Lan'er's voice was sincere, this sentence was indeed from her heart, these sufferings should have befallen her!
"Hmm!"
Tie Hu didn't know how to answer, so he could only hum softly! Although he was just a slave, and his own young lady's apology made him not know what to do, this "um" was well deserved!
"But ......"
When Tie Hu accepted the apology, Ye Lan'er's eyes suddenly condensed when she looked at him, revealing a hint of anger, and continued without the slightest emotion: "However, this is not a reason for your Tie Hu to betray Senior Brother!
