Subi Mountain, Tianyin Temple.

The steep trail winds through the mountains, and as in the past, on this day in the warm sunshine, there are still crowds of people, and countless devout devotees are walking towards the temple to pay homage to their deities. The monks of Tianyin Temple are distributed everywhere, leading the people who come up, in some of the dangerous places of the mountain cliffs, there are generally a few monks standing just in case, and at the same time, the monks of Zhike greet the people coming and going with a smile at the mountain gate, a peaceful scene.

Fa Xiang, the disciple of Master Puhong, who presided over Tianyin Temple, was also standing behind the mountain gate at the moment, watching people come and go. With his status, he no longer has to do these homework, but he is kind-hearted, and often when he sees that his fellow monks are a little busy because of the large number of people, he will come over to help, and this day is the same.

It's just that on this day, he seemed to be in a trance in his heart, restless, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, looking at the pious faces flashing in front of him, he was leading, and he bowed his head and silently recited "Amitabha", knowing that a figure suddenly walked out of the crowd and stood in front of him.

Fa Xiang raised his eyes and was stunned, obviously he didn't expect to see this person in front of him, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he smiled: "We meet again, donor." ”

The person who came was the ghost, I saw him wearing a gray cloth robe, standing among the people who came to worship around him, looking inconspicuous at all, and the only one who was a little arrogant was probably the monkey who was active next to him.

Ghostly's face looked a little haggard, although the whole person couldn't say that he was depressed, but he didn't have much energy, he just smiled at Fa Xiang, and said, "Senior Brother Fa Xiang, please inform me, I have something to do, I want to see Master Pu Hong." ”

Fa Xiang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Master Zhang, the teacher has already ordered that day, as long as you come, no matter when and where, he will meet you with you, please come with me!"

Gui Li silently followed behind him, and walked all the way, only to see the inner hall of Tianyin Temple, and the incense was scattered, not to mention the figures in his eyes, rubbing shoulders one after another.

The two walked for a while, and Ghost Li suddenly said to Fa Xiang: "Senior Brother Fa Xiang, you said that above Qingyun, is there really a god?"

Fa Xiang was silent for a moment and said, "Donor, in my Buddhist opinion, there are gods everywhere in the world, but the most important thing is still in everyone's heart. ”

Ghost Li's face was indifferent, he looked at the people around him, and said in a low voice, "I don't understand. ”

Fa Xiang said quietly: "The donor's life is bumpy, and the roots are deep, in the eyes of the little monk, if you want to find liberation, the most important thing is to 'see away' in your heart." ”

Ghost Li was silent for a long time, never spoken, and Fa Xiang didn't say much, leading him all the way. The two walked through the corridor and aisle, and went all the way to the small Tianyin Temple in the back mountain.

Outside the Zen room, Fa Xiang nodded to Ghost Li, who stopped consciously.

Fa Xiang lightly knocked on the door a few times, and said, "Master, it's the disciple Fa Xiang, today the ghost benefactor went up the mountain and came to visit." ”

The Zen room immediately sounded Master Puhong's kind and kind voice, and said, "Please come near!"

Fa Xiang opened the door lightly, took a step back, stretched out his arm to Ghost Li, and said in a low voice, "Donor, please." ”

Gui Li nodded and walked into the meditation room, and Fa Xiang followed him in, closing the door casually.

Master Puhong was still sitting on the couch meditating as before, and when he saw the ghost, he smiled kindly and said, "You are here, donor." ”

Ghost Li has a lot of respect for this Puhong master, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment, so he bowed deeply and said, "The disciple is bothered." ”

Master Puhong shook his head and smiled: "I said a long time ago, the door of the mountain of Tianyin Temple is wide open to you, you can come at any time, not to mention that you come here, I am only very happy, but I don't know what is wrong with you?"

Ghost Li hesitated slightly, looked up at Master Puhong, and said, "Don't hide from the master, the disciple came this time, and there is indeed something he wants to ask the master." ”

Master Puhong said: "The donor, but it doesn't hurt to say. ”

The ghost wanted to speak and stopped, and seemed to be a little difficult to speak, but after all, he still said: "May I ask the master, in your temple, is there a strange treasure called the 'Qiankun Reincarnation Disk'?"

Master Puhong was stunned, and the Fa Xiang standing beside him also showed a look of surprise, the two glanced at each other, and then Master Puhong nodded and said, "Yes, there is indeed such a thing in the temple." ”

The spirit of the ghost was lifted, and Master Puhong saw his expression in his eyes, his brows wrinkled slightly, and said, "May I ask the ghost master, why did you suddenly ask about this thing?"

Ghost Li hesitated for a moment, and said: "The two of you also know the situation of the disciple in your hand, ten years ago on Qingyun Mountain, the disciple had a friend who was seriously injured for the sake of the disciple, and he is still unconscious. ”

Master Puhong said: "The Baguio girl values love and righteousness, and the old man is also very admired. ”

Ghost said: "In the past ten years, I have traveled all over the world to just want to be able to save Baguio, but the sky does not follow people's wishes, and there has been no progress so far," Speaking of this, although his face did not change significantly, the gloomy look in his eyes could no longer be concealed.

Ghost Li was silent for a while, looked up at Master Puhong, and said: "Don't hide it from the master, the disciple came this time, but I accidentally heard the words of a senior some time ago, saying that there is an unpredictable treasure Qiankun reincarnation disk in Tianyin Temple, which has the ability to turn the hidden yang and fix the soul, and maybe there is some slight hope that Baguio can be saved, so I came cheekily, hoping that the master will be merciful and lend this treasure to the disciple, and once it is used, it will be returned in person." ”

In the end, Ghost Li's lips trembled slightly, obviously in a turbulent mood, seeing his complexion change several times, he seemed to hesitate, but then he took two steps forward, clasped his hands, and slowly knelt down in front of Master Puhong.

Master Puhong was taken aback, hurriedly stretched out his hand, and said hurriedly: "Donor, don't be like this, get up quickly." ”

The Fa Xiang next to him had already stepped forward to help the ghost and pulled him up.

Master Puhong stared at the ghost for a long time, his face was still kind, but his eyes seemed to be a little wandering, obviously this treasure was also very important to him, and it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

After another moment, Master Puhong slowly closed and said, "Donor, the old man has a word I want to ask. ”

Ghost Li immediately said, "Master, please speak." ”

Master Puhong's face was slightly solemn, and he said: "The matter of Qiankun reincarnation in Tianyin Temple, except for the brothers of the old man, only the disciple of the old man knows about it, and this matter is quite secret, but I don't know which master is the senior who told you about it in the mouth of the donor?"

The ghost was stunned, speechless for a while, silent for a long time, he said in a low voice: "The master forgives the sin, it is not that the disciple has the intention to conceal it, but it is actually that senior who specially instructed the disciple not to reveal his identity when he was a disciple of Kochi, so" In the end, his voice gradually became quieter, and the disappointment and anxiety on his face faintly appeared, obviously the battle in his heart was also very strong, but after all, he still didn't say anything more.

Ambassador Puhong frowned, did not speak, and bowed his head and groaned.

Ghost Li looked at Master Puhong's face in his eyes, and his heart was even more anxious, he did think before he came to Tianyin Temple that if this unheard-of magic weapon really had such a ability, it would naturally be an extraordinary treasure, and it was natural for Tianyin Temple to treasure it, but now looking at the reflection of Master Puhong and others, it seems that there is no intention of refusing, but other than that, they seem to be very concerned about the source of the news of Ghost Li.

The longer he has known Zhou Yixian, the more he feels that this seemingly nonsense-filled fortune teller is really an unfathomable person, but after Zhou Zhou Xian told him the news that day, he repeatedly told him that he must not leak himself.

At this moment, there are really several passions rushing towards each other in the heart of the ghost, on one side is the promise of Zhou Xian, and on the other side is the more important long-term wish of ten years. For Baguio, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he is really willing to pay for everything to pursue, and now he can't advance or retreat, and he is in pain for a while.

Fortunately, at this moment, Master Puhong suddenly sighed and said, "That's it, no matter who tells you who is, but after all, you have a fate with Senior Brother Puzhi, and speaking of which, this treasure is also Senior Brother Puzhi... Master Puhong suddenly smiled bitterly, stopped speaking, stood up from the Buddha couch, looked at the ghost and said, "Donor, you force me to come, I will take you to meet someone." ”

The ghost was stunned, but when he heard Master Puhong's meaning, he no longer pursued the source, and he had the intention of borrowing the treasure, so he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and when he bowed to the ground, even his voice trembled slightly, and said, "Thank you, master." ”

Master Puhong stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, let's go!" said the monk's robe and walked out of the house.

Ghost Li and Fa Xiang followed behind him, and Ghost Li couldn't help but ask, "Master, who are we going to meet?"

Master Puhong said lightly: "The donor should know that the world often refers to the brothers of the old man of the temple side by side, right?"

Ghost Li nodded and said, "Yes, the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, 'Hong, Virtue, Wisdom, and Emptiness', all admire them." When he said the word "wisdom", a hint of complexity flashed on his face, and even his voice was a little lower.

Master Puhong and Fa Xiang both felt this, and while sighing in their hearts, they naturally didn't say much.

Master Puhong said: "Don't talk about Lao Gao's third junior brother Pu Zhi, you also saw the fourth junior brother Pukong that day, and now the old man wants to take you to see is Lao Gao's second junior brother Pu De." ”

The three of them came down from the small Tianyin Temple in the back mountain, and walked into the lively and noisy, incense in the Tianyin Temple, along the way the monks of the Tianyin Temple naturally saw the abbot when they all respectfully saluted, even if it was an ordinary people believer, they were afraid of being overjoyed and bowed down, and even some old people regarded Master Puhong as a fairy, kneeling down and kowtowing up.

Master Puhong had a pleasant face and a kind face, and walked all the way, sparing the main hall with the largest number of people, and turned to the more remote northwest corner of Tianyin Temple. As the three of them walked, the figure of the believer's door gradually disappeared behind them, and the surroundings gradually became deserted, and finally, when Master Puhong and others stopped at the door of a secluded courtyard at the end of a path, there was no one around.

Ghost Li raised his eyes and looked at it, only to see that the small courtyard in front of him was extremely simple, the wall next to a person high had already peeled off, the corner of the wall was full of moss, the small courtyard was half-hidden, everyone could clearly see the small courtyard in the atrium, full of dead leaves, from time to time blowing a breeze, the fallen leaves on the ground gently blowing and fluttering, but also added a bit of desolation and antiquity.

On the door of the small courtyard, there is a very broken plaque with three words written on it: Jingxin Hall.

Ghost Li looked at the plaque silently, as if he was a little distracted, Master Puhong walked into the small courtyard, and Fa Xiang followed behind him.

After walking a few steps, he found that the ghost Li behind him didn't seem to keep up, and he was a little surprised, but when he turned around, he saw that the ghost Li was still looking at the plaque, and the law minister couldn't help but say a little strangely: "Master Zhang, what's wrong?"

The ghost moved, seemed to come back to his senses, was silent for a moment, walked over, and said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just that the name on the plaque is somewhat similar to the place where I lived when I was a teenager. ”

Fa Xiang glanced at him more, shook his head and said, "Where, donor, please come in!"

Ghost Li nodded and walked towards the depths of the small courtyard, where Master Puhong had also stopped in front of a wooden house in this small courtyard and looked back at the three of them.

Ghost Li stepped forward and whispered, "The disciple is rude. ”

Master Puhong smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. As he spoke, he turned around and knocked three times on the wooden house, and said, "Amitabha, Senior Brother Pude, today I brought a benefactor to see you, disturbing Senior Brother Qingxiu, sinful and sinful." ”

A gust of wind blew from behind Guili and the others, blowing up the fallen leaves in the sky, blowing their clothes fluttering gently. In front of them, the wooden door seemed to be gently pushed by the wind, making a soft "squeak" sound, and it was unexpectedly unexpected, slowly opening inward.

At the same time, an old and low hoarse voice came from the room, like an iron tool that had been left for too long and corroded, and said leisurely: "Yes... Who can work... Move your big brother... Frame... Yes... ”

Master Puhong smiled slightly, walked in, Fa Xiang followed behind him, Ghost Li somehow, his heart suddenly became a little nervous, he took a deep breath, and then stepped into the wooden house.

Although Ghost Li knew that the monks of Tianyin Temple did not value worldly luxury, and the furnishings in Tianyin Temple were very simple, he was still surprised when he walked into this wooden house. The furnishings in the room were simple, but there were no furnishings at all, and the floor was empty except for one corner of the floor covered with dry thatch, and an old monk with a dark complexion and a thin face sat cross-legged, slowly raising his eyes to think about them.

Master Puhong stepped forward, came to the old monk, the ghost stood silently behind him, looking from the side, only to see that the old monk and Master Puhong looked really different, Master Puhong was radiant, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looked solemn and had his own bearing, no wonder just now countless pious people bowed down, in contrast, the old monk sitting in the corner can really be described by the commonly used "stinky skin" of Buddhism.

Master Puhong stood in front of the old monk and stared at him for a long time, Fang slowly sighed, sat down directly on the dirty ground in front of the old monk, and said lightly: "Senior brother, we haven't seen each other for ten years, right?"

The old monk slowly folded his head, his voice still hoarse and low, and said, "Yes... Ah, teacher... Brother has always been... Okay?"

Ghost Li was shocked when he heard this, their senior brothers were all in this Tianyin Temple, and although the courtyard where this old monk was located was remote, he didn't see Tianyin Temple specially guarded all the way, obviously not a retreat, and the two of them had never met in the long past ten years, which was really incredible.

As if he had guessed what Ghost Li was thinking, Master Pu Hong turned his head and smiled at Ghost Li, and said, "This is Lao Wei's second junior brother Pu De." ”

Although Ghost Li still didn't know why Master Puhong brought him to see this Master Pude, with the respect of the four great monks of Tianyin Temple, and the fact that he was asking for others this time, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly saluted: "Disciple Ghost Li, meet Master Pude." ”

Master Pude slowly moved his gaze and landed on Ghost Li's face, his movements were so stiff and slow that it even made people feel that even his gaze was struggling. Ghost Li was very puzzled in his heart how one of the four great monks who moved the world could be like this, but he didn't dare to lose his manners at all.

Master Puhong next to him said lightly: "Senior Brother Pude, what he is participating in is a branch of my Buddhism, called 'Bitter Zen', people who are not wise and brave cannot practice, you don't have to look at his current appearance, but when it comes to practicing Taoism, Senior Brother Pude is far better than me." ”

The corners of Master Pude's withered face and mouth moved slightly, I don't know if he smiled, anyway, he couldn't see the change in his expression from the appearance at all, and said slowly: "Senior brother... You're joking... ”

Master Puhong recited "Amitabha Buddha" in a low voice, and then said: "Senior brother, I came to disturb Qing Xiu today, the sin is not small, and I will make amends here first, but this matter is no better than others," Speaking of this, he glanced at Ghost Li and said, "Senior brother, do you know who he is?"

Master Pude has never left his gaze since he looked at Ghost Li just now, but his eyes seem to be so ancient and waveless forever, and no one can see what he is thinking in his heart.

At this moment, after listening to Master Puhong's words, Master Pude said slowly: "Yes... Who?"

Master Pu Hong sighed softly and said, "He is the mistake of the injustice planted by Senior Brother Pu Zhi ten years ago, that young man Zhang Xiaofan in Caomiao Village at the foot of Qingyun Mountain. ”

"What?" For the first time, Master Pude's words did not pause, and even his complexion changed slightly, and after half a sound, his eyes were still deeply focused on the ghost calendar, and said, "He is... That kid?"

I don't know if the words are gradually speaking, and the pauses in Master Pude's words are gradually decreasing, and they gradually become smoother.
