Chapter 444 [Seeking Revenge] (I)
Xishan Dieyan Temple is the heyday of incense in Xizhou, the reason why this thousand-year-old temple is named is mainly because of the cliff statue behind it, Xue Lingjun did not choose to go to Dieyan Temple to incense, but directly came to the cliff statue in the rear, walking along the winding valley plank road, but saw that the cliff walls on both sides are carved with large and small Buddha statues, the Buddha statue is exquisitely carved, lifelike, the surrounding grass and trees are abundant, the mountain stream is accompanied all the way, Hu Xiaotian did not expect that there is such a wonderful place here.
Compared with the crowd of Dieyan Temple, it is obviously deserted here, occasionally you can see pilgrims in twos and threes, the two came to the Guanyin Pavilion halfway up the mountainside, there is a statue of Guanyin with a thousand hands carved here, the main purpose of Xue Lingjun here is to pay homage to Guanyin.
She knelt down in front of the futon, put her hands together on her chin, and silently prayed and chanted.
Hu Xiaotian had no intention of disturbing her pious worship, standing aside, quietly observing this statue of Guanyin, the statue is more than ten zhang high, more than ten zhang wide, the treasure is solemn, one thousand and eight Buddha's hands are brilliant, and there is a glance in the palm, a total of one thousand and eight eyes.
Hu Xiaotian sighed at the exquisiteness of the statue carving, and after waiting for a while, he saw that Xue Lingjun was still kneeling there and praying non-stop, he really didn't expect that she was actually a devout believer, and finally got a little impatient, and got up and came to the outside of Guanyin Pavilion.
Seeing that on the platform in front of him, a monk was sweeping the fallen leaves, Hu Xiaotian walked over, and the monk saw Hu Xiaotian lower his head and went around to the side to continue cleaning.
Hu Xiaotian said: "This master, is there a Buddha statue on it?" “
The monk said: "The whole West Mountain is all there, if you worship one by one, you will not be able to worship for seven days and seven nights." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "It's just that there seem to be a lot fewer pilgrims here than in Dieyan Temple." ”
The monk said: "The Buddha statue here has a history of thousands of years, and the incense was deserted more than two hundred years ago. You can go to the Big Buddha Rock at the top of the mountain, where the largest reclining Buddha in the West Mountain is enshrined. He gathered the fallen leaves into a small pile and put them in a basket. Carrying the basket and continuing to walk towards the mountain, Hu Xiaotian chased the back of the monk, always feeling that he had something to say. At this time, he saw Xue Lingjun walking out of the Guanyin Pavilion and greeted him with a smile.
Xue Lingjun said: "Are you impatient to wait?" ”
Hu Xiaotian said with a smile: "It is my honor to be able to accompany Sister Jun. How can you be impatient! ”
Xue Lingjun knew that he was duplicitous, and pointed to the mountain and said, "It seems that it is not far to the top of the mountain, let's go up and take a look." ”
Hu Xiaotian also rarely has a free day, and the scenery here is indeed refreshing, remembering what the monk said just now, he just went to open his eyes, so he nodded and accompanied Xue Lingjun to continue to go up, walked for a while, and did not see the monk sweeping the floor. Not far from the top of the mountain, I saw a small temple, the plaque was written with the three words of the big Buddha rock, the temple gate was hidden, Hu Xiaotian looked inside from the crack in the door, and found that the courtyard was empty, and when he was about to leave, he heard footsteps on the right side. When I looked up, I saw a middle-aged monk walking slowly.
There should be very few pilgrims here. The middle-aged monk smiled at the two and said, "Amitabha, the poor monk Wuning has seen two donors. ”
Xue Lingjun and Hu Xiaotian saluted at the same time, Xue Lingjun said: "Master, we came to the treasure temple to pay homage to the reclining Buddha, I don't know if it is convenient?" ”
Wu Ning smiled: "Naturally, you can." He opened the door and said, "Come with me, two of you!" ”
The two followed Wu Ning inside, and from the outside, they thought that the temple was very small. However, when you walk in, the road is deep, and after passing through the triple courtyard, you will come to the entrance of the reclining Buddha, and as far as the eye can see, the stone steps wind all the way down. The reclining Buddha is carved in the belly of this mountain.
Walk along the stone steps to the end, see five connected huge arched holes, walk into it to see the whole picture of the reclining Buddha, the reclining Buddha lies in it, about 30 zhang long, magnificent, although Hu Xiaotian can also be regarded as well-informed, but it is the first time to see such a huge reclining Buddha.
Xue Lingjun naturally couldn't help but pay homage devoutly, and after entering the incense, Xue Lingjun took out a silver ticket of 50,000 taels and gave it to the Big Buddha Rock, as the cost of repairing here, which can be regarded as a merit.
Wu Ning thanked again and again, and invited the two to come to the courtyard to drink tea, Hu Xiaotian knew that Xue Lingjun was known to be clean, and thought that she would refuse, but he didn't expect her to readily agree.
Wu Ning's cultivation on Buddhism is quite profound, Xue Lingjun talked with him quite speculatively, Hu Xiaotian originally had no faith, so he naturally had no interest in their topic, so he picked up the teacup and drank two cups of tea silently. At this time, I saw the sweeping monk walking in with a basket on his back, and he was also a monk of the big Buddha rock. Seeing Hu Xiaotian, he didn't say hello, and immediately looked into the distance, as if he was avoiding something.
Wu Ning smiled at the two and said, "Please wait, the poor monk will go and take two plates of hand beads and give them to the two donors, and come when you go." ”
Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Hu Xiaotian whispered to Xue Lingjun: "Strange, I always feel that something is wrong." ”
Xue Lingjun smiled: "What's wrong? ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "One is too enthusiastic, and the other seems sneaky." ”
Xue Lingjun said: "Most of the people outside the square are like this, you can't look at them with worldly eyes. ”
Hu Xiaotian nodded: "I hope so!" ”
Because of the hot weather, Xue Lingjun quickly drank the tea in the cup, she picked up the teapot and poured another cup, suddenly felt dizzy, and fell to the ground, Hu Xiaotian was taken aback, and hurriedly held her up, and her first reaction was that the tea was poisonous. He has had many adventures, and the body's anti-toxicity is very strong, and ordinary toxins can't cause him any harm, so there will be no abnormal reactions, but Xue Lingjun doesn't have his ability.
While Hu Xiaotian hugged Xue Lingjun, he couldn't help but think of the experience in Lanruo Temple when he first came to Xichuan, and the monks also used poison to charm them, and he was lucky to avoid it, he decided to repeat the old trick, and he would plan it, if he didn't pretend to faint and fall to the ground, I'm afraid the two evil monks would not show up. So he hugged Xue Lingjun and pretended to be poisoned, and collapsed to the ground.
After a while, I heard a happy voice in the distance: "It's pity! Pour also! ”
Wu Ning and the sweeping monk appeared at the same time.
At this time, Xue Lingjun's teeth were clenched and he had already fainted, and Hu Xiaotian also closed his eyes, and he was able to accurately grasp the other party's every move with just his ears.
Wu Ning said: "You can see clearly, isn't he?" ”
The sweeping monk gritted his teeth and said, "Even if he turns to ashes, I will recognize him." It was he who killed the master, and killed my senior brother and brother, this kid. ”
Hu Xiaotian was secretly surprised in his heart, the sweeping monk must have said that it was himself, but he really couldn't remember what to do with this person? Could it be the remnants of that lucky escape in Lanruo Temple?
The sweeping monk's next words really confirmed Hu Xiaotian's guess, and he said with a resentful face: "Originally, we were fine with Master in Lanruo Temple. I don't know how happy and happy I am, it's this kid who came to Lanruo Temple and killed the master, uncle, I want to avenge the master! Kill both of them! ”
Wu Ning smiled and said: "Your master is my senior brother, of course I want to avenge him, this kid will be handed over to you, and the other one will be handed over to me." ”
The sweeping monk was stunned and said, "Uncle Shi doesn't want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" ”
Wu Ning said: "Can't you see that she is a stunning beauty?" Wouldn't it be a pity to kill it like that? When I am happy, I will give her to the young master, and I will get a lot of rewards. Hey! ”
The two had come to Hu Xiaotian's side, at this time Hu Xiaotian suddenly opened his eyes, looked directly at the sweeping monk, and startled the sweeping monk, he reached out and pulled out the dagger from his waist, raised the dagger and poked at Hu Xiaotian, Hu Xiaotian held his wrist and twisted it hard. With a click, he snapped his wrist. The broken white bone pierced through the skin and drilled out, and the sweeping monk let out a scream like killing a pig, before the scream was finished, Hu Xiaotian had already held his hand and stabbed the dagger into his chest, the scream stopped abruptly, and the sweeping monk fell straight down. Suddenly a whimper.
Wu Ning rushed towards Xue Lingjun on the ground with an arrow step, although at the critical moment, his mind was not confused, only by seizing the time to restrain Xue Lingjun could he have any hope of survival. Most people tend to just run for their lives in this situation, and Wu Ning is still very sober at this point.
It's a pity that his speed can't be compared with Hu Xiaotian at all, after Hu Xiaotian simply killed the sweeping monk, he turned to rush to Wu Ning, Wu Ning only felt a flower in front of him, and saw Hu Xiaotian appear in front of him, raised his right hand, and threw a handful of black ash towards Hu Xiaotian's door, Hu Xiaotian poof! The ground spewed out a breath, how powerful his current internal breath was, and it was like a violent wind, washing away the black ashes, all of which fell on Wu Ning's face in reverse, Wu Ning screamed, and covered his eyes with both hands, the black ash was poisonous, and it burned abnormally into his eyes, and in an instant, his face was bulging with soybean-sized blisters.
Hu Xiaotian annoyed him with his vicious hands, stepped forward, stepped on his right leg, after the crisp sound of bone breaking, one of Wu Ning's right legs was broken by him, Wu Ning wailed: "Donor spare life, donor spare life......
Hu Xiaotian sneered: "Is it too late for Fang Zhi to be scared at this time? ”
Wu Ning screamed: "God has the virtue of a good life, I have no grudges with the donor, and I hope that the donor will spare my life for mercy." ”
Hu Xiaotian said: "You evil monk, did you think about the word compassion when you drugged the tea just now, how can you have the face to say it now?" ”
Wu Ning's eyes were no longer able to see, and his hands waved wildly: "Donor spare life, donor spare life...... The poor monk was only deceived by the wicked, and he had no intention of harming the life of the benefactor......"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Don't talk nonsense, bring the antidote first!" ”
Wu Ning said: "Donor, what you have is a mandarin duck and a joy, and I have no antidote." ”
As soon as Hu Xiaotian heard the name, he knew that it was an aphrodisiac or something, and he couldn't help but be furious: "Bastard, if you don't hand over the antidote, believe it or not, I'll send you to see the Buddha now." ”
Wu Ning wailed: "Donor, I really don't have an antidote, this medicine was given to me by the young master, the antidote is only available to him, in fact, there is a way, as long as you spend the Spring Festival together, you can get rid of the poison in your body." ”
Hu Xiaotian scolded: "Old-fashioned, have you never seen the world?" He stepped on Wu Ning's left leg again.
The first one is sent, ask for a guaranteed monthly pass! (To be continued......)
