Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Night Mountain Village
The Sleeping Foshan is located in the mountains southwest of Qi County. The entire mountain is like a Buddha lying on the side. The Wanfo Temple is backed by the "Buddha" and the chest and belly of the "Buddha". It is not particularly large overall. However, the mountain gate and the temple are extremely majestic. The inner and outer mountain gates are carved with huge rocks, the Heavenly King Hall is carved with sky, several long rows of wind chimes hanging on the four eaves, and there are also low houses, which accumulate withered yellow leaves, and pilgrims can be seen everywhere. The monk in the gray monk robe holds Buddha together.
The monk in charge walked in front, occasionally turned around, folded his hands and bowed, and led the scholar behind him to go around the backyard of the temple.
"Donor Lu, please come here."
Lu Liangsheng nodded, looked at the Heavenly King in front of him, Nobita several halls, and continued to move forward with the monk in front of him, and would say something without saying a word from time to time.
"Master Fajing, haven't you left the temple to practice?"
"........ Senior Brother Fajing has indeed left the temple, but because his master entered Zen and realized the Buddha, he stayed and stayed outside the door."
"I see."
Walking by a wooden sign with the words "Tourist stops" is considered to enter the backyard of Wanfo Temple. It is much quieter around it. Between the terrain, a few pine trees stand upright, and the branches and leaves are spreading out of the tree cage. One of them is the dragon claw pine, with its rhizomes thick, and its roots are spreading out of the ground and spreading in all directions. Under the lush umbrella, several rows of red walls and black tiles sounded in a row of temples with red walls and black tiles.
"Donor Lu, here is the Buddhist chanting hall, and further ahead is the meditation hall."
The monk from Zhigu explained, and then put his hands together and took another tribute. He walked around here quickly, for fear of disturbing his fellow disciples who were chanting the scriptures. After more than a hundred steps, he stopped in front of several houses, turned around and bowed to the scholar.
"Donor Lu, I'm here, the little monk leaves."
"Thank you, Master, to lead the way."
Lu Liangsheng raised his sleeve and bowed his hand. When the monk left, he strode to several Zen rooms over there, turned over the red walls of the temple walls with black tiles, and smiled on his face. In the distance, outside the Zen room in front, a fat body sat cross-legged with a cushion, with his right foot on his left foot, and sat with a Vajra.
Hearing the slight footsteps approaching, the fat monk opened his eyes, smiled on his big round face, stepped on the linen monk's shoes, got up and folded his hands together.
"My Buddha... is compassionate, Lu Shi, Lord, why did you come to Wanfo Temple..."
"Come here to see Master Zhenhai."
Lu Liangsheng looked at the tall and fat monk in front of him. Compared to the previous one, he had a little more peace. After returning the gift, he invited the fat monk to walk under the eaves and informed the other party about the coming of the matter, and emphasized that the possession of the demon star fragments would bring strange changes to people or demons.
The latter frowned and thick eyebrows and finished listening, stopped and looked back at the Zen room over there.
"Lu Shi, Lord, poor, monk, since he returned to the temple, he went to Zen and realized the Buddha, and never came out for half a step. Therefore, poor, monks are here, waiting... In this way, I went over and asked, asking."
"It's trouble."
Lu Liangsheng bowed and thanked him. Fajing shook his head and said, "It should be." Then he went to the meditation room over there, came outside the door of the master's retreat, and shouted the Buddha's name.
Then, his voice spread like a bronze bell.
"Dharma, pure seeking of views, Master."
There was no sound in the closed door, as quiet as before, Fajing stood up straight and said, "Master, Lu Shi, the master is far away from Chang'an, come to see you, can you come out to meet?"
The courtyard is quiet and warm, the rustling sound of the trees, gently shaking the branches and leaves slowly, and a few slightly yellow leaves swirled quietly to the eaves.
There was still no words in the room under the eaves. Lu Liangsheng sighed and reached out to stop Fajing, who was still trying to speak, looked at the door and said softly:
"Master Fajing, don't shout anymore. I think your master will go to seclusion and meditation at a critical moment. After that, if you leave the seclusion, you can just pass on what I said."
"It's really... I'm sorry..." Monk Fajing also apologized. Seeing that the scholar was about to leave, he reached out to make an invitation and walked on one side with a vertical seal.
"I will give you a gift."
"No, the master stops."
Lu Liangsheng raised his hand and asked the monk to stop. After saying that, he turned around and left under the long eaves. Fajing sighed, shook the Buddhist beads between his neck, and dragged his fat body back outside the Zen room. As soon as he sat down cross-legged, an old voice came from the door behind him.
"Dharma Pure..."
Hearing the weak words, the fat monk had not yet been touched by the butt, and quickly stood up again and faced the door with his palms folded together.
"Master, brother, I'm here."
After a while, inside the door, the old monk Zhenhai spoke slowly and weakly.
"As a teacher... I dreamed of your uncle yesterday."
The soft words sounded and quieted down again. Fajing stood there blankly for a while, but no sound came. He sat back on the futon and took the Vajra to sit.
Looking at the slightly shaking pines outside, I sighed with regret.
"I am in Buddhism but I cannot save all living beings..."
.........
The sky gradually turned red. Lu Liangsheng walked out of the temple with the incense, walked straight to the place where the old donkey was tied, led the reins to the direction when they were back and forth, walked through the iron cables of the mountain stream, and passed through the tree-lined path, disturbing the clamoring pilgrims, and returned to the foot of the mountain.
Bang —
The dusk bell came from the Fallen Fo Mountain behind him. The scholar stopped, looked back at the lying mountain, held the reins, and continued to walk northward.
"Liangsheng, that old bald donkey disagree?"
The bookshelf compartment opened the small door with a creaking sound. The toad Taoist kicked his legs a few times and climbed up hard. In the three words "Old bald donkey", the old donkey dragged the reins and turned his face to the donkey. The toad patted the head with a frog webbing: "I didn't say you."
Then, Da Lala sat down with two short legs, tied the rope to his waist, and looked up at his apprentice who was holding the reins in front of him.
Lu Liangsheng shook his head and then smiled: "I didn't even meet him. Monk Zhenhai was in seclusion and realized the Buddha's name, and he did not see any foreign guests."
"Hmph." The toad Taoist hugged the frog web and snorted coldly, turning his head to look at the mountain gradually fading behind, "Isn't the bald donkey like this? When you are in trouble for your master, you will come without saying a word."
"It's not necessarily true. How many people can do that Master Zhenkong, who sacrificed his body to the Buddha?"
Lu Liangsheng narrowed his eyes, looked at the red sky clouds in the west, bathed in the red glow, led the old donkey and swayed the copper bell across the official road, and listened to the echoing bells in the distance.
"Maybe, it's not the time."
He said casually as if he was joking. Lu Liangsheng waved his wide sleeves, and his body was walking slowly and he left several feet in a flash. According to the previous plan, after coming to Wanfo Temple in the east, no matter whether the persuasion can be successful, he will go north to Chengyun Sect and meet with Lao Sun. There is always one of the two major sects that can succeed, right?
In the original plan, I searched for fragments of demon stars on the way, but along the way, I didn't even encounter a fairy ghost. But this is also good, at least no people were harmed.
The sunset gradually sets, and the last ray of rays of sunset shines on the foothills.
Flocks of birds returned to the forest, chirping non-stop. Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey and chatted with his master who had long ears on the donkey's head. He went down a gentle slope. In front of his vision, the mountain village was filled with smoke. The diversion of Qi River was not far from the village, and it winded through the foot of the mountain. In the sparkling waves, many farmers were walking on the mud roads in the fields with hoes.
"I miss Lujia Village a little." Taoist Toad looked at this scene and sighed.
"It's a bit, but I don't have to sleep in the wild tonight."
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Lu Liangsheng pulled the old donkey down the hillside. In the passing field, an old farmer took a kettle and walked up the ridge of the field with a hoe. Seeing a person and a donkey coming from afar, he put down his hoe vigilantly.
"Young Master, are you okay when you come to our village?"
The old man's words attracted the villagers nearby. The people in the mountains were very united. When they saw the stranger coming to the village, they did not go back home for the time being. They came over with a hoe and stood beside the old farmer, looking up and down at the donkeys and scholars in blue and white robes.
"I'm studying around and gaining some knowledge. I saw that it was getting dark and I saw someone living here, so I came over to spend a night with all the villagers. I wonder if it's okay?"
Lu Liangsheng loosened the reins and arched his hands at the people in the village, using his magic power to urge him to get a sweat stain. Several village men leaning over there saw that he was covered in sweat stains and his robes were wet, and he looked at each other, went back and whispered a few words before someone came over.
"It is not easy for you to travel far, so you can stay in the village for one night, but if you have a word, don't leave the room at night, and leave at dawn!"
There are rules for people in the mountains, not to mention that there are few lights and candles in the mountains, and wild animals appear at night. This is not a strange rule.
Lu Liangsheng nodded and thanked him. He followed the old farmer back to the village. There were very few scholars, especially in some mountain villages. Suddenly, a scholar came, and many people went out to see the strange things.
"That scholar is so handsome, he is better than the men in the village."
"Maybe he is the son of a wealthy family in the city..."
"That's really bold. If you dare to run into the mountains alone, you won't be afraid of encountering big insects and strong people with paths."
"Who said no, but... it's so handsome. I don't know if I want a woman at night..."
"You're so sexy."
