Chapter 198: Portrait
There are many people who climb the Sanssouci Cliff, although there is nothing on the cliff, but there is a saying, that is, the person who can climb to the top is the person who is sincere, and the sincere person asks for something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info So basically everyone who comes to Lingyin Temple to incense will go to the top of the cliff.
Duan Qianqiu also followed the pious pilgrims to the top of the cliff, halfway through, there was still a long distance from Cai Yueru's meditation retreat, but he could hear the voices of the people in front, and three or four pilgrims who had retreated from the front shouted in a panicked voice: "It's on fire, it's on fire......
As far as the eye could see, I saw a fire rising in a retreat on the side of the stairs in front of me, and with the help of the mountain wind, the fire spread very quickly, and all the pine, bamboo, and trees around the retreat were burned at once.
Duan Qianqiu looked at the direction of the fire, and sighed in his heart, "It looks like Cai Yueru's meditation retreat, could it be that the man in black has ......already noticed it" He was about to use his strength to fly towards the retreat, and suddenly the innate true qi in his body had a very strange sense, that is, there was a very strong true qi nearby that suddenly disappeared out of thin air, this feeling, Duan Qianqiu understood that it was caused by someone deliberately concealing the true qi.
And this kind of ability to conceal true qi in an instant, only a master of his level has the ability to do it, just like Duan Yuhuang, Sima Canglong and others. The blood rain and frost that fought with him before could barely do it.
Duan Qianqiu's heart immediately became vigilant, he stopped, and his eagle-eyed eyes began to examine everyone passing by on his side, because of the fire on the mountain, the flow of people going down the mountain suddenly increased several times, and some of them were in a hurry, and even squeezed through the crowd desperately, and "rolled" down the mountain in a panic.
In these people who came down the mountain, panic and fear were written on their faces, just as when they went up the mountain, they were written with piety and respect, and they all had a submissive attitude towards the unpredictable future, seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, and moving with the wind.
Duan Qianqiu stood in the middle of the stairs of this mountain road. Like a relict and independent person, calmly looking at the expressions of everyone who passes by. It's a pity that there are too many people coming and going, and there is no one on the mountain road who makes Duan Qianqiu suspicious again.
He moved. The man had already skimmed over the heads of the people on the steps of the mountain path and went straight to the house where the fire had started.
The fire was indeed Cai Yueru's meditation place, and more than a dozen novices who had rushed to the scene after hearing the news were drawing water from buckets to put out the fire, but unfortunately the fire was too big, and it was not easy to get water from the mountain. So the house was burned to the ground in a short time.
Duan Qianqiu looked at the fireworks in front of him and was stunned for a while, he walked down the mountain road in disappointment, and arrived at the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Lingyin Temple, but saw that the little novice was still standing in front of the hall, holding a burden in his hand, as soon as he saw Duan Qianqiu, he greeted him, and said in a slightly wooden tone: "Master Duan, I almost forgot just now, this is when Master Cai came to meditate before. Something that I have entrusted with safekeeping. It's just that the little monk is going to be transferred to another temple in the next few days, and it is inconvenient for her to keep it anymore, so can you help me transfer it to her?"
"Of course, little master. When Duan Qianqiu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart: "I'm afraid this is the best news I've heard in the past few days." ”
Xiao Shami handed the burden in his hand to Duan Qianqiu, recited the Buddha's name, and then turned back to the temple.
From Lingyin Temple back to Yehuang City, you have to take a ferry to cross the canal, Duan Qianqiu came alone this time, taking an ordinary ferry, so when he went back, he also rented a small boat by himself. On the boat, he unwrapped the baggage. I saw that there were three scripture books and a picture album inside.
There are many annotations in the scriptures, just like the perception of life, Duan Qianqiu looked through it carefully. There is nothing special about it. And in that album, in addition to flowers, birds, fish and insects, bamboo trees and landscapes, there is also a portrait of a man!
The man in the painting has handsome eyebrows, elegant temperament, and a sense of elegance and dust, for this man. Duan Qianqiu has no image, but Cai Yueru can solemnly keep his separate portrait, and it can be seen that he still has a soft spot for this man.
"Could it be that this person is the man in black that Cai Yueru said?" Duan Qianqiu looked at the portrait again and again, still without a clue.
The corners of the paper of the portrait and the scriptures are slightly wrinkled, which shows that it has been read many times, and it can be imagined that in many lonely nights, Cai Yuru in addition to the green lantern ancient Buddha, often haunts her heart with feelings for the man in the painting.
The rocking boat rippled above the waves, and Duan Qianqiu's mind fluctuated with it, and he soon fell into deep thought: "Who could this strange man be?"
At this time, the prince outside the boat may have met an acquaintance on the water, so he opened his voice and shouted: "Ge Laosan, what is your meal today?"
The boat boss on the other boat responded in a long voice: "Steamed dace with bean drums, and moldy dried beans, smell fragrant, aren't you greedy?"
Zi Gong laughed and scolded: "Gluttony, your moldy dried bean curd stinks worse than, making your boat look like a dung pit......"
The two of them separated the boat, talked a few more nonsense, and then went their separate ways.
Duan Qianqiu listened to the gossip of the two boatmen in the boat, but there was a stirring spirit in his heart, which touched his thoughts, so he said to the prince: "Where is this?
"Come on, guest officer, bypass the Luhuadang in front of you and arrive at the Yehuang City Wharf. Gong smiled heroically.
"Oh, then turn around, let's go back to the docks of the Lingyin Temple. ”
"Ah......" Zigong asked puzzled, "Guest officer, this is almost there......"
Duan Qianqiu smiled: "Hurry up and row! I have something urgent, and I will give double the money for the boat back and forth." ”
When Gong heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay!"
Returning to the dock of Lingyin Temple, after getting off the boat, Duan Qianqiu didn't care about the shocking world, urged the true qi, and his body went straight into the temple like lightning, asked the monks in the temple, and went straight to the meditation room where the monks lived at the back of the temple.
Duan Qianqiu was beating a drum in his heart: "This little monk must not be harmed!"
He found the meditation room where the novices were staying, and felt the breath of four people inside.
Without waiting for the knock on the door, he pushed open the Zen door.
The three monks were sprinkling and sweeping, while the little novice who had given him the burden was packing up.
Seeing Duan Qianqiu, who was in a hurry, Xiao Shami said with a confused look: "Donor, what else do you have to do?"
Duan Qianqiu saw that the little novice was well, and his heart calmed down. He stood in the meditation room, sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then asked, "Little Master, where are you going?"
Xiao Shami said: "The little monk is going to the Lingyin Temple branch of Yuzhou Mansion, and he is still packing up!"
Duan Qianqiu said with a smile: "I came here to ask the little master, where did you store this burden of Master Cai Shi before? )
