Xingchen and Tianxiang Gongzi separated from the fork in the road, and walked alone for some hours in the mountains, but they were far away from the blood lake, but they felt very tired, so they found a clean place, leaned against a pine tree, held a sword in their arms, and dozed off.

In fact, in this barren mountains and mountains, sometimes there are strange cries of beasts and birds, and the dust does not dare to really fall asleep, just close his eyes and take a nap, if there is any alarm, he has to get up and look around, to prevent monsters and monsters from haunting, and hurt people at night.

This is summer, the dense forest at night is not permeable at all, very hot and dry, and there are green-footed mosquito bites, wake up but do not sleep well, change several places in one night, all of them are the same, hot and dry, too many mosquitoes.

The next day, when the day was almost dawn, it was much cooler, but Xingchen's sweaty clothes, close to the body, but it was not comfortable, Xingchen pondered, to find a pond to wash, this whole body is comfortable.

Xingchen took advantage of the cool weather, and began to hurry again, walked for a while, listened to the noise of water in front, the waterfall into the pool, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, he wanted to go to the pool to wash and wash off the stinky sweat.

Although the waterfall is not wide, but the bottom is washed out of a blue and secluded pool of water, the thin sun shines on the water surface, a layer of mist color, like a fairyland.

Xingchen looked at the feet, there was actually a pile of clothes, and after a closer look, it turned out to be the clothes of the Xianggongzi that day, it turned out that although the Xianggongzi and he were separated from the road, but the road in the mountains was intricate, I don't know how to go to the same road again, but the Tianxiang Gongzi took a shortcut, but he arrived at this place first.

The weather was so hot, and that day's thoughts were the same as waking up the dust, so he took a journey first, and then found a secluded waterhole to wash his body.

Xingchen saw that the prime minister was washing in the water that day, and he was very drunk, he grinned and said secretly: "I'll play him!"

Thinking of this, Xingchen stripped off his clothes, and when he came from a corner of the pool, he dived into the water silently, dived to the Tianxiang Gongzi, and suddenly burst out of the water and shouted at him: "Brother, we meet again!"

Tianxiang Gongzi first screamed, and then slapped Xingchen in the face, and squeezed out two words in his mouth: "Shameless!"

Xingchen originally wanted to surprise Tianxiang Gongzi, but he didn't expect Tianxiang Gongzi to treat him like this, as soon as he touched his face, this slap was really not light, his face was hot, and it hurt, and when he reacted, Tianxiang Gongzi had already gone ashore.

Xingchen was sullen in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "It's not okay for big men to take a bath together, get water, and play, but they have to be ashamed like this, they really look like a woman!"

That day, the prime minister stood on the shore and asked, "What did you see just now?"

Xingchen's head shook like a rattle, and the water beads in his hair splashed in the pool water: "No, I just came out of the water, and I was dazed by your slap, where can I notice anything?"

Tianxiang Gongzi nodded, Ying Ying smiled: "That's good!"

Xingchen thought to himself, you are fine, I didn't expect other people's feelings, so he said, "Then why did you beat me just now?"

Tianxiang Gongzi had already thought of the words, but he saw that he was casual, and said with a slight smile: "I put you, that's because you are like this, reckless, suddenly appeared, scared people, fortunately, this son did not hold a sword in hand, if you held a sword, I am afraid that you would have already fallen into the water, and the blue blood stained the pool." ”

Xingchen rubbed his body in the pool and said: "You and I are really fateful, I didn't expect to meet here, but unfortunately you are not a woman, if you are a woman, this is an affair." Xingchen said, hehe smiled.

Tianxiang Gongzi arched his hand and said: "Brother said that there is fate, I think it's better to have no fate, this son has taken his leave!"

Na Xingchen panicked, hurriedly put on his clothes, carried a sword, and chased after him: "Son, don't leave me, this barren mountain and wild mountains, but I can't find the way, I traveled all night last night, and today I feel lost." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi stood up at this time, frowned and said: "What you said reminded me, I feel that I am always turning around in this area, but I can't find a way out of the mountain." ”

Xingchen thought for a while and said, "It's a big deal, let's go back the way we came, cross the Blood Lake, and go back to the mountain by the wind." ”

"Brother Xingchen, are you joking, I took that old man's things, where do you dare to go back from the Blood Lake, you want to go back, you go back alone, I still go forward." Tianxiang Gongzi said, and began to step forward again.

The two of them walked until noon, but they were hungry and thirsty, and then they saw the top of the mountain in front of them, but there was a people's house, but this house was exquisitely built, the tower was in the clouds, the attic was foggy, and it was a good place to escape the heat in the green mountains and forests.

Xingchen put his hand on his eyebrows and looked into the distance, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be a Taoist temple, I think there are also a lot of monsters and monsters hidden in this mountain forest, where do ordinary people dare to settle down in this mountain." It is very likely that a Taoist priest from the wandering side attracted a group of apprentices to build this house. Tianxiang Gongzi also looked at the attic from afar, shook his head and said with a smile: "Where is this Taoist temple, it is clearly a monk temple, the tower is a pagoda, and the Buddha is used to worship relics, a special tower." ”

Xingchen nodded and said: "Gongzi is very right, the monks are all benevolent and righteous and salvation apprentices, let's go and give some fasting food, presumably they will definitely not refuse!"

When Tianxiang Gongzi heard him say this, he also agreed very much, so the two of them quickened their steps and walked towards the Buddhist temple in the mountain.

Xingchen walked to the temple, took a closer look, the temple also had the Buddhist door closed, but Xingchen saw that the ground around it was also clean, there were no fallen leaves and dust, and the door was also half-new and half-old, indicating that the temple was still inhabited.

However, this temple has no plaque, but it is a nameless small temple, there is no incense, no one has set foot in this mountain forest, Xingchen slowly stepped forward, knocked on the door and asked, "Is there anyone here?"

In the middle of the night, a little monk wearing a gray cloth monk's robe asked, folded his hands, performed a Buddhist salute, and led the two of them to the door.

It turned out that there were three or four monks of different ages living in this temple, the younger monk was fifteen or sixteen years old, called Jue Cong, and three older monks, but they were not more than forty years old.

Na Juecong led the son of the Tianxiang of the Awakening Dust Pen to an open hall, brought the tea and said politely: "The two donors, please sit down, sing some herbal tea to relieve the heat, only me and my senior brother are here today, but my master is going down the mountain to turn into a fate, I don't know when I will come back!"

Xingchen brushed the tea leaves floating on it with the lid of the teacup, took a sip and asked, "Why don't you see those senior brothers of yours?"

The little monk Juecong smiled and said: "My senior brothers, I don't care about the affairs of this temple, the master told them to chant the scriptures and chant the Buddha before going down the mountain, but I didn't expect them to be the wind in their ears, as soon as the master left, they put down the scroll and went to the west pavilion to play chess!"

"Then why don't you chant the sutras?" asked Xingchen.

The little monk Juecong sighed and said: "I also miss the scriptures, but I can't read or write, I can't read miles, I have no choice, so I have to do chores in this temple, chopping wood, boiling water, cooking, but I am also used to it, by the way, the two of you are hungry now, there are still some fasting meals left in the kitchen, don't dislike them." ”

Xingchen said happily in his heart: "If there is food, bother to send some, we will not eat in vain, I have silver here." So saying, he took out a piece of silver and put it on the table.

The monk named Jue Cong said that he would not accept the money at all, and said: "We Buddhism have rules, except for the fate, but we never accept other people's money, the donor should take it back!"

Xingchen took the little monk's hand, stuffed the silver into his hand and said, "Then your lord will be my fate, take the silver first, and then I will eat your fast." ”

When the little monk Juecong heard him say this, he took the money, and his heart was happy, and he went to the kitchen to prepare the meal without mentioning it.

Xingchen and Wuxiang Gongzi had a meal, and when they saw that it was overcast outside, they wanted to say goodbye and leave, but they couldn't find the little monk for a while, so the two came to the courtyard outside the open hall with their swords.

The two of them paced two steps, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and a fragrance wafted in the courtyard, the fragrance was refreshing, but it made people feel refreshed.

"It's so fragrant, what kind of fragrance is this, so fragrant? Is it the fragrance of flowers? Xingchen asked with a breath.

Tianxiang Gongzi looked around, this garden is lush, overgrown waist-length grass and trees, between the grass and trees, there are a few flowers blooming very brightly, this summer flowers, and spring flowers are different, summer plants and trees are greener, set off is more delicate and lovely.

Tianxiang Gongzi is a person who loves flowers, so he stepped forward to pick a flower, put his nose on it, and sniffed it carefully.

Strange, this flower did not have any fragrance, both of them were confused by this illusion, at first, Xingchen also thought that it was the fragrance of flowers in the garden, where did this fragrance come from?

Tianxiang Gongzi smiled: "Brother Xingchen, you and I will make a bet to see who finds this fragrance first!"

Xingchen waved his hand and said: "Don't bet, don't bet, my sense of smell is not so sensitive, where can I smell where this smell comes from." ”

Tianxiang Gongzi smiled: "If you don't bet, forget it, see where I go to find out where this fragrance comes from!" With that, he blindfolded his eyes with a wisp of cloth and explored the air with both hands.

Xingchen said disdainfully: "Is it useful to do this, what you can't find with your eyes open, can you find it with your eyes covered?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the prince suddenly tore off the cloth covering his eyes and said, "I found it, it's in the opposite room." ”

But the young man still didn't believe it, and the heavenly prince said again: "If you don't believe it, I'll take you to have a look." After that, he walked straight to the wing, and with a slight push, he opened the door of the wing, and it turned out that because there were no outsiders in this temple, if it was daytime, the door would not be locked at all.

"Isn't it okay for us to trespass into someone's room like this?" said Xingchen after him.

Tianxiang Gongzi said disapprerovingly: "I just want to prove to you where this fragrance comes from, because this fragrance is indeed unusual. ”

"In it!" said Tianxiang Gongzi suddenly pointed to a small cabinet in the side room, which was at the head of the bed.

Xingchen looked at the cabinet, only to see Tianxiang Gongzi open the cabinet, there was a small green porcelain bottle in the cabinet, which contained liquid, Tianxiang Gongzi sniffed and said: "It's perfume! It's strange, there are no women in this monk's temple, who still uses this kind of thing?"

Xingchen was shocked, could it be that there was really a woman hidden in this monk's temple?

At this time, a shadow scurried behind them, and Xingchen turned around suddenly, it was actually the little monk named Juecong, the little monk smiled slightly, that smile was indeed incomprehensible.
