Chapter 495: Lu Yushan Temple
On this day, after the heavy rain, Xiao Yuer took Bao Heizi to a market town, the only two inns in the town were full of people, and only when I asked knew that due to the heavy rain, a wooden bridge in front was washed away by the flood, because the flood was too large, there was no way to repair it, and I don't know when it will be repaired. So the merchants are blocked here.
After asking the locals, I learned that there is another trail that can be bypassed, and if you walk quickly, you can get to a temple called Furinji Temple when it gets dark. The next day, you can go to the county seat in front and return to the official road. It's just that this trail has to go over a big mountain, and the mountain roads are all rugged paths, and there is no way for horse-drawn carriages to pass through guò, so they can only be crossed on foot or on horseback. These merchants are reluctant to take risks, so few are willing to take this path.
Maybe Master Bao has a phobia of water now, and he is afraid of taking risks, so Xiao Yu'er has to take this path, and no one is willing to take this path. When he went to the market town in front, he spent five taels of silver and bought two local horses with saddles.
Bao Daren was penniless and had amnesia, so Xiao Yuer had to ask for his own pocket. wrote an IOU and coaxed Mr. Bao to sign and draw a pledge.
"Big brother, my brother is settling accounts."
"Silly B, no matter how you look at it, the two of us are not brothers. Drive! Bao Heizi glanced at Xiao Yu'er.
Xiao Yu'er was a little puzzled and said, "Aren't you amnesia?" ”
In fact, Master Bao really has amnesia, and recently stayed with Xiao Yu'er, but he learned Xiao Yu'er's future words. Otherwise, I wouldn't be stupid B.
By this time, the rain had already stopped, but the mountain road had been poured into mud puddles everywhere, and the trail was rugged and difficult to walk, so I did not dare to go fast, and I climbed to the top of the mountain with great difficulty, and then meandered forward, sometimes through the dense forest, and sometimes down the valley hovering between the mountainsides. Along the way, not a single family was seen, nor did I see a single pedestrian, just the two of them, two horses, walking in the depths of this mountain, walking on the isolated ghost road.
The sun set early in the mountains, and as soon as the sun went down, the valley was darkened, but fortunately the torches had been prepared, and the torches were lit and went on.
It was getting dark. All kinds of strange sounds in the mountains also came out, and Bao Heizi was so frightened that he screamed, making the little fish a little nervous.
Xiao Yu'er teased: "My lord, you are all black like this, it's good that others don't treat you as a ghost, and you still have a face to scream." ”
"What's wrong with my name?" Bao Heizi said deadly: "I like to scream, I like to scream, what can you do to me?" I'm called, I'm called. Ah~~~"
"I'm sick again~~~," Xiao Yu'er touched her forehead and said speechlessly.
After walking for more than an hour with torches, Xiao Yu'er secretly wondered if he had been deceived by the locals, where did the ancient temple come from in this wilderness?
"Huh?" At a glance. I happened to see two dim lights on the slope of the mountain in the distance, which should be the legendary ancient temple "Fulin Temple"!
Xiao Yu'er suddenly came to her senses and said, "Adult, adult." If there is a light ahead, there will be people's homes. "Hurry up, though. The road in the mountains is like this, it looks very close, and if you really have to walk, there is still a long way to go.
After walking for another half an hour, I slowly saw that there were a few faint places in the light, and they appeared and disappeared in the pine bushes all over the mountain. The mountain wind with rain blows through the tips of the pine trees, making a whining sound, like an inexplicable ghost in the jungle, whistling in the treetops, which makes people creepy. The two of them coincidentally sped up, and after another half an hour, they finally came to the ancient temple.
Go up the dozen or so sloping steps to the mountain gate. In fact, this mountain gate should not be called a door, because there is only a broken door frame left, and the two doors are no longer known whether they were taken by the monks in the temple to burn the fire, or whether the exposed merchants took them to carry the corpses of their companions who died violently.
Standing in front of the door frame, holding a torch and looking up, I saw that directly above the mountain gate, a plaque with three words written in black font: "Fulin Temple".
The plaque was also dilapidated, and if it hadn't been hung too high to be enough, it would have been taken away.
Xiao Yu'er got off the horse and walked in first, inside was a courtyard, not big, and the hazy moonlight could roughly see the situation in the yard.
The temple is very simple, three houses, a Daxiong Hall in the middle, next to two rows of side rooms, the Daxiong Hall and two rows of side houses stretch out in front of the eaves to three feet wide, under the eaves is a one-foot-high bluestone slab platform, the houses are around, from this pattern it can be seen that it should rain often in this area, so the construction of the house pays more attention to rainproof.
The temple is surrounded by a two-person high wall, but it is also broken in many places, and you can see the Hessian woods outside, and this wall is equivalent to nothing.
The two lights I saw just now came from the Mahavira Hall. It's just that the door is closed, and you can't see what's inside.
Xiao Yeru stood in the courtyard and said loudly: "Is there anyone in the temple?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the door of the Daxiong Treasure Hall creaked open, and a little novice walked out, just in time to collide with Bao Heizi.
The frightened little novice exclaimed, "Ah!! "Almost incontinent. Sitting on the ground with his buttocks folded, his mouth kept chanting: "Ahh ”
The bag of sunspots is confused, isn't it just long black? You need to be so scared, right?
When Xiao Yu'er heard this, she laughed and said, "I told you earlier, you just don't believe it, what's wrong?" Scares people, right? ”
"Hmph, what's it called? This is called not doing bad things, and not being afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Bao Heizi said righteously, then looked at the little novice and said, "Little monk, say, what are you doing wrong?" ”
Xiao Shami closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously, "I don't know, I don't know anything." "Perhaps the cry of the little novice alarmed people, at this time. An old monk came out, clasped his hands together and preached loudly, "Amitabha! The two donors, Lao Qu Fulin, are the abbots of the temple, which is polite! "Forint? What about I pay off Taizu?
Xiao Yu'er also said: "Master, I am in a hurry, I missed the accommodation, and I want to spend the night in the treasure temple, I wonder if the master can make it convenient?" ”
Fulin pronounced another Buddha horn and stepped aside: "It's convenient for you, it's convenient for yourself, two donors, please come in!" ”
Bao Heizi took advantage of the old monk's inattention, deliberately strangled his neck, and stretched out his red tongue.
"Hell, ghost." Xiao Shami saw that Bao Heizi was hiding far away.
Hearing this, Fulin said sharply: "Shut up?!" Huipu, monks, meditation and chanting Buddha, where are there any ghosts. Then he apologized to Xiao Yu'er and Bao Heizi: "Two donors, Huipu's child is still young and ignorant, please don't be surprised." ”
"Nothing?!" Xiao Yu'er replied.
Hearing this, Fulin smiled and said, "Thank you two donors for your generosity." So he said to Huipu: "Go back and copy the Diamond Sutra again." ”
Xiao Yu'er and the others stepped into the main hall. Entering the hall, Xiao Yu'er was slightly stunned, and saw that there were already a few people sitting in the hall, one wearing a white robe and shaking a folding fan, a young man with a graceful demeanor; A middle-aged businessman, quite wealthy, a husband and wife, gorgeously dressed. There are also some family members.
When these people saw Xiao Yu'er and Bao Heizi come in, their faces were full of joy, and they got up and bowed.
Xiao Yu'er thought to herself, this ancient man is really polite and many people are not strange, they will give gifts when they meet, and they don't care if they recognize it or not.
Fulin Heshi introduced Xiao Yu'er and Bao Heizi: "They also passed by here and stayed in the temple. ”
The scholar arched his hand and said, "A few of you are also in a hurry to get here, right?" We're too, just one step ahead of you, hehe, it's really fateful. ”
Xiao Yu'er arched his hand and smiled: "Yes, this encounter in this ancient temple in the deep mountains is also a fate." Under Zhang Yu, I don't dare to ask a few brothers how to call it? ”
The scholar smiled: "Hey, it's a coincidence, it's a coincidence, it's also called Zhang Yu." ”
"Oh?" Xiao Yuer is also interested, if this is put on the ordinary, it is not surprising to meet people with the same name and surname. Recently, the end of the world has fallen into people, and in this ancient temple in the mountains, they actually met the same person with the same name and surname who fell into distress. It's a bit of a happy event.
"Oh, it turns out that my brother's name is also Zhang Yu?" Xiao Yu'er said happily: "I don't know how my brother writes?" ”
"Just call me Zhenhua." The scholar laughed.
Xiao Yu'er also said: "Just call me Xiao Yu'er." ”
The merchant smiled and said, "Contemptible Zheng Shan, do some small business." ”
Since the lady entered this temple, a pair of beautiful eyes have never left the two handsome sons Zhang Yu and Zhang Yu, after listening to the introduction of the son, smiled and half bent forward: "Son, the slave family is polite!" ”
Zhang Yu frowned slightly, and returned the salute: "I didn't ask this sister who ......."
Could it be that he hurriedly interjected: "The contemptible Chen Yun is also a businessman. This is the Jing Qin clan. Zheng Shan saw that they were all doing business, and he was particularly affectionate, and he also gave a gift and made an introduction.
Scholar Zhang Yu avoided Mrs. Chen's hot eyes and arched his hand.
Zheng Shan also came up to greet Mrs. Chen, and when he saw the crystal pearl necklace around Mrs. Chen's neck, he was stunned for a moment, and looked straight at it, as if his eyes would not move.
"Who is this?" Scholar Zhang Yu asked Master Bao.
"Oh, this is my friend, surnamed Bao Mingren." Xiao Yu'er introduced Bao Heizi.
Bao Heizi didn't seem to have the idea to greet you, but was deeply lazy and said, "I'm so sleepy." ”
"Master, people are tired, I don't know if there is a wing room to live in?"
Fu Lin hurriedly said: "There are only poor monks and two bad disciples Huipu and Huitong in the temple, and Huitong is cooking in the back room, so the empty room in the temple is enough." The poor monk will give you a place to live. So saying, he brought a small lantern and lit it, led them to the courtyard, and led them to the courtyard.
A large room in the west wing room is arranged for Chen Yun and his wife, a family member is arranged to live in the middle, and a large room on the outside is arranged for Xiao Yuer and Lord Bao.
The east wing room is one room where the merchant Jia Zhengshan lives together, and the other room is where the scholar lives alone. The abbot and his disciples lived in the wings on both sides of the hall. (To be continued......)
