Chapter 26 Yunlong Temple
Bai Ya looked up at the big mountain in front of him, this mountain is at the north end of the Dingjun Mountain Range, the mountain is endless, twists and turns, like a dragon and snake entrenched.
Although it is not as steep and majestic as the main vein of Dingjun Mountain, the cliffs and rocks are stacked, like dragon scales. The clouds in the mountains are diffuse, and it is like a dragon hidden in the clouds, it can be said that the mountains are like a cloud dragon, and the scenery is beautiful and spiritual, so it is called Yunlongling.
Before Bai Ya came here, he had inquired that Yunlongling was born during the great fission of heaven and earth, and there was no such mountain in ancient times.
At the southern foot of Yunlong Ling is the historic Baocheng, which was once the royal city of Baoguo, and is now the second largest city in Hanzhong County in addition to the capital Nanzheng.
The White Cliff will come here, because the King Kong Temple, where the monk Huikong practiced, should be in this area.
"Little official, do you want to go up the mountain today?"
Just as Bai Ya was looking up, there was an honest accent behind him.
Bai Ya turned his head to see a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy standing behind him. This young man's name is Tu Sanlang, who lives in Sanxi Village at the foot of the mountain, and has a tiger's head, carrying a bow and arrows behind him, and holding a three-pointed harpoon.
Tu Saburo's family has been hunters for generations, and they are very familiar with Yunlongling, and they are hired by Baiya as a guide.
In fact, Bai Ya had already passed through the teleportation talisman array two days ago and came to Baocheng from Chuxian.
This area is backed by mountains, there are many Taoist temples, but he asked around, no one in the local area knows about King Kong Temple, the most famous is the Yunlong Temple in this Yunlong Ridge.
This made Bai Ya feel very depressed, and he was a little suspicious that after Monk Huikong drank the immortal milk at that time, he was not sober anymore, and actually gave him a King Kong Temple where he couldn't find an address.
However, this idea was also swept away, because when he walked with the old beggar, the other party said that he had heard of the King Kong Temple in Hanzhong County, and it was also a Buddhist sect with a long history, and its station was near Baocheng.
"Since ordinary people in the world don't know about the King Kong Temple, then they have to go to the most famous Yunlong Temple to ask, maybe the same Buddhism, these great monks will know the location of the King Kong Temple. Bai Ya thought helplessly, and nodded at Tu Saburo.
"Well, let's go into the mountain today and find that Yunlong Temple as soon as possible. ”
"Little official, Yunlong Temple is in the depths of Yunlong Mountain, about two days away. There are many jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, so why not hire some more people to go into the mountains together? Tu Saburo had a simple face, but he was not stupid, and he hesitated for a moment before suggesting.
"It's just jackals, tigers and leopards, and there are no brute beasts?" Bai Ya raised an eyebrow and asked again.
"There should be no brute beasts, Yunlongling is very close to Baocheng, as soon as a brute beast appears, the government will organize people to clean it up. Tu Saburo thought about it and said, "It's just that the jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains are also very fierce, and in the past, more than a dozen hunters in the village had to be accompanied by bears and dogs before they dared to enter the mountain." We're just two of us now, aren't we ......?"
"It's okay if there are no brute beasts!" Bai Ya reached out and patted the short knife on his waist, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled, "There are too many people, but I can't take care of it!"
Tu Saburo looked at the red and white, flesh and skin rolled, scarred zombie face, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart.
He didn't dare to imagine how this face could be like this, the young man in front of him seemed to be two years younger than him, but standing there, the old hunters in the village didn't dare to raise their eyes and look directly.
Although Tu Saburo is young, he has also seen a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards. The boy looked like a fierce beast, especially when he smiled, the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitched, and his whole face looked like a twisted metal mask, which looked even more terrifying than Yaksha.
If the cowardly see it at night, they are afraid that they will be scared to death. If it weren't for this, the guide's job would have been snatched by the old hunter.
Thinking of the generous reward given by the little yaksha in front of him, Tu Saburo gritted his teeth and walked in front.
......
"Oh~~"
The two walked in the mountains for two whole days, and at noon on the third day, they faintly heard the sound of a long copper bell coming from the mountain ahead.
"Little official, we're almost at Yunlong Temple!" Tu Saburo said with a hint of joy on his face and towards the white cliff behind him.
After two days in the mountains, the young hunter already knew that White Cliff was not as vicious as he looked, and that among the people who led him as a guide, he was quite kind, and not as domineering as some wealthy merchant squires who went into the mountains to burn incense.
"Oh?!" Bai Ya looked up and looked ahead, only to see a corner of the temple exposed from the mountainside of the green peak in front of him, and he suddenly felt very relaxed.
He spent two days in the mountains with Little Orion, and he was really tired of eating fried rice and jerky. When I arrived at Yunlong Temple, I was finally able to eat a hot meal.
"Let's go fast and try to get into the temple before it gets dark, otherwise we'll be sleeping outside again. ”
Bai Ya and Little Orion were in high spirits, and they each quickened their pace.
Coming to the front of the mountain peak where the Yunlong Temple is located, I saw a bluestone staircase winding upward, the grass on the side of the road was secluded, and at a glance, there was no end in sight.
"It's still that high?" Bai Ya couldn't help but be stunned.
"Little officials, not high, Yunlong Temple is halfway up the mountain, less than five miles. The little hunter smiled happily, walked like a fly, and took the lead in climbing the stone steps.
However, the process of entering Yunlong Temple is much easier than Baiya imagined.
They walked a little way up the stone steps and came across a small novice from the Yunlong Temple. Hearing that the two of them entered the temple to burn incense, Xiao Shami took the initiative to turn around and lead the way for the two in front.
Bai Ya chatted with Tu Saburo for the past two days, knowing that his appearance was terrifying, so he couldn't bear to speak just now, and let the young Orion talk to Xiao Shami. But when he saw a huge rock in front of the stone steps, he was finally a little surprised and couldn't help but ask.
"Little master, what's going on with this boulder?"
The boulder that Bai Ya said was right in the middle of the stone steps, about five meters wide and seven meters high, covering the entire stone steps tightly, leaving only a path of less than one meter on each side.
The moss is green on the huge rock, and there are two Buddhist verses carved in the center.
"There is nothing in the present, there is nothing in the present, there is law in the three worlds, and there is nothing in the past. ”
"Little donor, this stone is used to prevent people from going up the mountain to worship the Buddha!" Xiao Shami saw Bai Ya and asked, smiled and replied, not showing any different colors because of Bai Ya's terrifying appearance.
"Prevent people from going up the mountain to worship the Buddha?" Bai Ya was surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What does this mean?"
"Little benefactor, this Buddha verse means 'what was there, but now it's gone.'" What I didn't have, now I get. Everything is reincarnated, everything is temporary, not eternal'. The little novice said solemnly.
"Burning incense and worshiping the Buddha will not make you do everything well, it is better to go with the flow and do more good deeds, then sooner or later you will get good results!"
Baiya was silent, and for a while it was an endless aftertaste.
"Little master, what do you call it?" he asked with a smile as his eyes flashed after rounding the boulder.
"The little monk's name is pure!" the little novice answered the question, but never said more.
"A little novice, he actually has such cultivation, this Yunlong Temple looks a little interesting. Bai Ya thought secretly.
After walking for a while, the stone steps reached the top, and the three of them finally saw the tall outer wall of Yunlong Temple.
Bai Ya raised his eyes and looked around, and found that this was a large platform on the mountainside of Yunlongling.
The outer wall of Yunlong Temple is built in an arc around the platform, and half of the buildings in the temple are built on the platform, and the other half is built on a half-empty cliff. It seems that only a corner is exposed, and it is integrated with the cliff, looming.
Entering the temple gate, everything Bai Ya saw was similar to the temple he had seen in his previous life, in front of him was a large square paved with bluestone, in the center was a huge incense burner, and several large halls dedicated to Buddha statues were arranged along the central axis.
"Two donors, the place has arrived, and the little monk will retire first!" Jingru little monk retreated, and a middle-aged monk with a small novice in the distance had already walked towards this side.
"Poor monk law realm, dare to ask the two donors, burn incense or stay!" The middle-aged monk came to the front of him, with a kind smile on his big round face, which made people feel good.
"Burn incense, also stay, and have some questions I want to ask the master for advice!" Bai Ya smiled and handed over a small bag, which contained ten taels of silver.
The Dharma Realm monk took the silver bag, but he didn't look inside, and glanced at the short knife on Bai Ya's waist, as well as the bow and arrow on Tu Sanlang's body. He saw that White Cliff was the one of the two, and smiled at him.
"Donor, please forgive me, this temple prohibits the use of swords, and may hand over the protective things to the poor monks!"
"This is natural!" Bai Ya unleashed the short knife without hesitation, and Tu Saburo beside him also handed over the bow and arrow and harpoon to the Law Realm.
"That's good, it's hard to take the two donors to the main hall to worship the Buddha!" the middle-aged monk smiled with his blade and instructed the little novice beside him.
"Wait, it's good for the Buddha to let the little master take my companion there, but I still want to ask the master about some things!" Bai Ya hurriedly said.
The monks of the temple are responsible for receiving guests, and they are the people who communicate with the outside world the most. Bai Ya came to Yunlong Temple to find someone to ask where the King Kong Temple was, and naturally he couldn't let go of this Dharma realm monk.
Originally, Baiya didn't need to be in such a hurry, but Huikong's matter had been in his heart for so long, and it was about to become a heart disease. Now that he has arrived in Hanzhong County, he is becoming more and more impatient.
"Donor, but what's so hard to hide?" Seeing Xiao Shami taking Tu Saburo away, the Dharma Realm monk suddenly looked curiously at the young man in front of him with a "strange face".
"Master, to tell you the truth, I didn't come to Yunlong Temple to worship the Buddha, but to find another temple in Hanzhong County. It's just that no one in Baocheng knows about that temple, and your temple is the most well-known treasure temple in this area, so I have to go up the mountain to ask a question, and ask Master Haihan!" Bai Ya hesitated for a moment and said.
"Oh, another temple?" Fa Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked tentatively, "I don't know what the temple the donor is looking for?"
Seeing the expression of the Dharma Realm monk, Bai Ya's eyes suddenly lit up, and he knew that he was probably in the right place.
"The temple I'm looking for is called King Kong Temple!" Bai Ya said in a low voice, "A Master Huikong has something to trust, let me go to King Kong Temple to find his mentor, who is also the head of King Kong Temple, Yuan Ming Zen Master!"
"Huikong?" The Dharma Realm didn't seem to be aware of the Vajra Temple, just frowned and pondered Huikong's Dharma name, and suddenly his face changed, he remembered something, and said in a low voice, "Little donor, please come with the poor monk!"
