[Liao Zhai] Lanruo Temple

Chapter 108, Leisurely Fishing on Bixi River

In Kyoto, heavy snow is falling, the wind is bitter, and the low-hanging lead clouds seem to press on people's hearts, making people breathless.It has been snowing for half a month, not to mention traveling in Beijing, whether or not the door can be opened is a problem.

Panic.

The plaque of Baoguo Temple hangs obliquely on the door, and the temple is not in ruins, only a faint cough can be heard.Although the cough was hoarse, it brought a little life to the ruined wall.

"Uncle Grand Master, is Ling En going to die?" The young monk's face was pale, his eyes shimmered, and his chest heaved violently due to Fang Ping's cough.

The old monk patted Ling'en on the back lightly, holding Ling'en in his arms with his big rough hands.The old monk asked, "Lingen, are you afraid of death?"

Ling En opened her eyes wide, with a little fear in her eyes, but more expectations.He said: "Lingen is not afraid. Master said that we will all die in the cycle of life and death, but we will meet again in the Western Ultimate Bliss. Grand Master Uncle, if Lingen dies, will he see Master, Uncle, and brothers?" , By the way, there is also the elder of discipline... Will he still punish Lingen to go to the back mountain to face the wall?"

"Uncle Grand Master, does the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss also have Baoguo Temple, and is there a back mountain?"

The old monk laughed, with a sadness that Lingen didn't understand on his face.He didn't answer Lingen's words, but said: "Lingen, Grand Master Uncle is going to do something important, Lingen is here to wait for Grand Master Uncle to come back, okay?"

Ling En grabbed the old monk's clothes and shouted: "Don't go!" He buried his face in the old monk's chest, and the old monk felt a wave of dampness melt away on the lapel of his clothes.

"Don't go... Lingen doesn't want Grand Master Uncle to go..."

The old monk reached out and stroked Ling'en's head, and Ling'en heard a voice coming from his chest, with an unspeakable forbearance and pain.

"Don't be afraid, Lingen, don't be afraid. Grand Master Uncle will always be by your side and grow up with Lingen."

The old monk raised Ling'en's head, wiped away his tears, and stuffed a wooden fish into Ling'en's hand.He put on Lingen's coir raincoat and bamboo hat, and said, "Lingen sit down obediently, and take Lingen away from the capital when Grand Master Uncle comes back, okay? Doesn't Lingen want to go to the warm south? Would Lingen go to the south to recuperate?"

Ling En sat on the hay, hugging the wooden fish, tears fell on the wooden fish with a patter.

"Okay, Lingen is waiting for Grand Master Uncle to come back."

The old monk put on a bamboo hat, leaned on a Zen stick, and walked into the wind and snow.Lingen watched the old monk go away, and couldn't stop crying.

With heavy snow buried his knees, the old monk trudged through the snow and walked towards the imperial city.With every step he took, a wave of strength accumulated in his heart, and when he reached the Du Chanyuan outside the imperial city, he had already accumulated all the strength in his whole body.

"Stop!" Before approaching the Du Chanyuan, the old monk was stopped by three men in black with four blooming lotus flowers embroidered on the corners of their clothes.

The old monk's trousers were soaked in snow, and his expression under the bamboo hat could not be seen.

"Tell the national teacher, the old man of Baoguo Temple is asking to see him."

"It turned out to be the remnants of Baoguo Temple. You Baoguo Temple hides filth and enshrines false Buddhas. What's the matter with you coming to Du Chanyuan?" Another man in black said slowly on the wall.

The old monk asked, "Who are you?"

The man let out a sneer from his nose, and said: "My seat, He Cai. If you are in heaven, you will not leave. The master of the state is looking for the remnants of the Baoguo Temple, but you have come to your door. Do it!"

The three men in black who stopped the old monk moved at the same time, and the black flying swords flew out of their sleeves, piercing the old monk's head.These three swords were sharp and fast, like poisonous snakes hidden in the grass, they stabbed the old monk's head in a moment.

The bamboo hat was pierced by the flying swords, but there was only a sound of "ding", three sounds at the same time, the three flying swords were knocked away by the head of the old monk, flew up obliquely in the air, and disappeared in the shadow of the corner of the wall.

Even under the impact, the bamboo hat shattered and fell to the ground, revealing the old monk's bearded face.The old monk opened his eyes, two of the three swords were aimed at his eyes, and the other was aimed at the center of his brow.

The three men in black were stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, they flew to hide in the shadow of the nearby buildings at the same time.

A black snake came out from the old monk's shadow and bit the old monk's calf, but he couldn't bite in at all. Instead, the old monk pulled it into his hand and kneaded it into green smoke.

Only a muffled groan was heard, and a man in black appeared from the shadow in the corner, bleeding to death from his seven orifices.

"Ghost domain trick." The old monk continued to move forward without looking at it.

He Cai's eyes were red, and he shouted: "Stop!" At the same time, he activated the secret technique, and saw seven snakes coming out from the old monk's shadow, turning into seven snake cones and nailing the old monk's shadow to the ground.

The old monk just stomped his foot down and shook the Yin snake cone away.The secret technique was broken, and He Cai was so shocked that he bled two nosebleeds, only then did he understand what the three men in black were facing.

He Cai's head turned black, and he said, "Earth Immortal... How can there be an Earth Immortal in Baoguo Temple!"

The old monk didn't bother too much, and continued to walk towards the Du Chanyuan.

Before reaching the door, he heard another voice: "Don't move forward, even if you are an immortal, if you go further, you will only have a dead end."

The old monk looked up, but he was a young man in red clothes embroidered with lotus flowers.

"I'm Hong Lian'er, master, turn back, turn back and be right." Hong Lian'er did not speak, but said via voice transmission: "The national teacher is the venerable earth immortal, master, you are no match."

The old monk clasped his palms together and recited the Buddha's name, saying: "I appreciate you, but today, I must see the national teacher."

Hong Lian'er had no choice but to say: "Since you are going to die, then just wait!"

Hong Lian'er turned around and entered the Du Chanyuan, and after a while, she heard a voice coming out: "Let him in."

When the old monk heard the voice, his face became calmer.

Hong Lian'er led the way, and the old monk followed him, to the front hall, the door was closed tightly.Hong Lian'er glanced at the old monk, then stepped aside.

The old monk looked into the room through the door, and he knew that the person in the door was also looking at him.The two people are separated by a door, and they have already confronted each other before meeting each other.

Hong Lian'er was so overwhelmed by this momentum that she could only retreat again and again to avoid being affected.

After a long while, the old monk suddenly said shyly, "It really is you."

The front of the hall was suddenly calm, and the door of the hall opened slowly, revealing a young monk wearing a crown, with manjusawa in full bloom on the bright yellow cock.The national teacher looked indifferently, looked directly at the old monk, and said, "It's me... Master."

The old monk's heart was shaken, his face showed grief, and he said: "You evildoer, I pity you for your difficulty in cultivation, so I accepted you as an apprentice. Now, you have caused Baoguo Temple to end up like this."

The national teacher showed a hint of sarcasm and coldness on his face, and said: "Xuan Bei, you accepted me as an apprentice, but you are always on guard against me, and you will not pass on any of the secret knowledge of Baoguo Temple to me. Now, I have brought it back by myself. What else do you have to say?"

Xuan Bei shook his head, and said: "I will make up for the mistakes I made. Cihang Pudu, let's settle it today."

hum-

Huge bells rang in the capital, the snow shattered, the haze dissipated, and a huge hole appeared in the lead cloud above the imperial city, and the sun fell from the hole, as if a divine spectacle descended into the world.

Among the ruined walls of Baoguo Temple, Ling En was shocked and murmured: "Wake up the world bell."

One of the treasures of Baoguo Temple, the secret treasure for suppressing evil spirits and awakening pure wisdom, was stolen on the day Baoguo Temple was destroyed.

Lingen's eyes were blurred with tears. He kept chanting the Buddha's name and praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but there was a force in his heart that urged him to go in the direction of the awakening clock.

He stood up, but saw the dilapidated door open, the old monk Xuanbei stood holding the door, his tattered monk's robe was covered with blood, there was a huge hole in his chest, and fine blood patterns covered his whole body.

"Grand Master Uncle!" Lingen stood up abruptly, but accidentally fell to the ground. He scrambled and ran to Xuan Bei, looking at the bloody hole in Xuan Bei's chest, his whole body trembled, as if She was stunned and couldn't speak anymore.

"Ling'en." Xuan Bei's bloody hand touched his head, the golden blood in the red smeared on Ling'en's bald head, Xuan Bei stretched out his hand to draw magic lines on his head and face.

"Lingen, you should be afraid of death, and only then will you work hard to live if you are afraid of death."

Ling En remained motionless, his whole body glowed with golden light, the wooden fish in his hand and Xuan Bei's blood had a wonderful reaction, Ling En's aura seemed to disappear from the world, and after a while, his figure also disappeared from the world.

Xuan Bei's eyes were blurred, he couldn't see anymore, he only touched Ling En's face with his hands, and said: "Ling En, don't be afraid, listen to me, leave Baoguo Temple, you go south, don't stop, don't look back, Grand Master Uncle will accompany you in the wooden fish, grow up with you, and accompany you to the south."

He touched Lingen's little head and said, "Go, don't stop, and don't look back."

His words seemed to have magical powers, Lingen stood up involuntarily, and walked towards the outside of Baoguo Temple. He stood on the snow, and there were no footprints of him on the snow. He kept walking towards the south, and the voice of Xuanbei was always in his head. reverberate.

"Don't stop, don't look back."

He felt a fire ignited behind him, and the ruins of Baoguo Temple were burning in the flames. He didn't look back, and didn't stop.

Lingen kept walking, until he couldn't move, he had no strength, and he didn't know how far he had walked. The golden light on his body suddenly disappeared, and he lost his strength and lost consciousness.

A carriage drove out from the capital, and the carriage drove on the snow like walking on flat ground.After a while, the carriage stopped on the road.

The young coachman got off the carriage, picked up Ling En from the snow, put him into the carriage, and then drove southward.
