As soon as we entered the mountain, the old horse started running wildly in the mountain.

Although the dense mountain forest is not suitable for horses to run, it is obviously not a big obstacle to this old horse, and it can run with flying hooves.

If the owner of the old horse saw this situation, he would definitely not dare to recognize it as his own horse. Hui Mian ran with the old horse for a long time, and then suddenly thought of something and said to the old horse. "You go find it first."

They, I’m going to a place and I’ll come find you when I come back.”

After saying this, Hui Mian rushed out. As the teacher said, although Yanshan is not a famous mountain, it is not small either. It needs to speed up.

Hui Mian can still roughly feel where he followed his husband in the mountains. It was a mountainous area close to the Grand Canal, but now it is on the other side, not too close.

After driving a long way up the mountain road, Hui Mian finally found the cliff and the broken house. “Hey, it’s really here!

Hui Mian smiled and ran to the front of the house. A mountain ghost who was sitting cross-legged there was slightly startled by its voice. He opened his eyes and looked outside the house and found a small marten parked there.

With just one glance, the mountain ghost recognized the mink, and his strange face immediately showed joy. He quickly got down from the stone and kept bowing to the little mink outside.

"Ooooh, ooh!"

The mountain ghost cannot speak human language yet, and only makes various strange noises from his mouth. Hui Mian is very satisfied with the respect shown by the mountain ghost.

"Well, I guess Sir is right about you, but don't say that I ate so much of your food for free and didn't take care of you. You will have the opportunity to listen to Sir's explanatory sermon on the Bible tomorrow night at the deserted house on the other side of the mountain. Don't miss it!"

"Do you know where that is? There is a small temple and a clay Buddha there!

The mountain ghost hesitated for a moment and seemed a little scared, but still nodded.

"Well, it's good to know. It saves me the trouble. Then I'll leave first. Remember to come tomorrow. No later than midnight at the latest. I'm leaving!"

After saying this, Hui Mian left in a hurry.

When Hui Mian and Lao Ma returned to the yard, it was already before dawn. Ma returned to the broken house, and Hui Mian also slipped into another room through the crack in the door and returned to Yi Shuyuan.

In the early morning, several people who had been resting in the house also woke up one after another.

Of course, the first person to get up was the coachman. After he had already gone out to clean up, Chu Hang went out to relieve himself. He walked to the shabby house and peed outside the fence. He looked inside the shabby house and immediately shouted to the coachman.

"Brother, you haven't tied the reins to your horse yet. Are you afraid it will run away?"

The coachman was checking the axle and other things over there. He didn't go over after hearing this, so he answered Chu Hang.

"The hitch must be tight. Maybe it accidentally broke free at night. Don't worry, my horse has been following me for so many years. It won't run away. Even if it gets lost, it can be found."

Chu Hang looked at the old horse who was chewing something. "So powerful?"

Yang Bencai and Yi Shuyuan also came out of the house one after another. The former stretched after yawning and asked the coachman about today's itinerary.

"Brother, where can we go today? We should be able to get to a place with a normal bed, right?" The coachman grinned, revealing a pair of yellowed teeth.

"We can definitely reach the inn, but we came out late yesterday and walked halfway. If we drive hard all day today, we can still walk a lot after the inn, but we will most likely have to sleep in the wilderness again."

The country is as one

When he heard that he had to sleep in the wilderness again, Yang Bencai didn't care. Just as he had told Yi Shuyuan on the boat, he often slept in the wilderness and carried a kitchen knife with him.

But Chu Hang was a little unhappy.

"No, no, then I have to stay at the inn for one night today, so that tomorrow's schedule will be suitable."

What Chu Hang said makes sense. Otherwise, it would be too early to arrive at the inn every day, and we would not be able to reach the next stop if we were in a hurry. Then we would simply walk less today, and we would feel better in the next few days.

"Anyway, you have the final say, we can go on our way however we want!"

The driver is also easy to talk to. As long as he pays a lot for the taxi, he is comfortable without having to hurry.

Yi Shuyuan didn't say much. He carried the wooden bucket hanging on the carriage and went to the foot of the mountain to borrow mountain spring water for everyone to wash and drink.

Then the carriage and horses were set up, and everyone got on the carriage. The coachman drove the horse and led everyone away from this place where they rested for the night.

When they arrived at the inn, it was just afternoon. Since they had already decided to walk so much today, the group stayed directly at the inn.

This inn is not small, but because the busiest season for this area is often the season after the grain harvest, it is somewhat free in the spring and has many houses.

Everyone went to bed early today, and the inn was quiet after dark.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan got up from the bed, opened the window and looked outside, then turned into a breeze and left the inn, flying to the old house at the foot of the mountain where he had stayed before.

Also taken away by Yi Shuyuan was the old horse.

This was also the first time for the old horse to fly, or maybe it had never thought that it could fly. It was so excited and scared in the sky that it made Hui Mian laugh non-stop.

When we arrived at the shabby house, it was still quiet here. After all, it was still very early before the agreed time. Obviously, no one stayed here tonight.

Yi Shuyuan walked to the small temple that was completely ordinary at this moment, bowed his hands towards the Clay Bodhisattva that no longer had anything special, and then naturally sat cross-legged on the edge of the small temple and began to practice with his eyes closed.

The spiritual energy in the mountains is gathering here faintly. Yi Shuyuan's face is calm, causing the energy of heaven and earth to gather and not be collected. It can be regarded as a final gift to the non-human sentient beings who come here to listen to the scriptures on behalf of the Clay Bodhisattva.

Lao Ma lay quietly in front of the temple and did not dare to disturb him.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, perhaps because of the bright moonlight, so there are still people on the official road taking advantage of the moonlight to travel. Yi Shuyuan's location is close to the foot of the mountain, but in fact it is only a few dozen feet away from the official road.

Among the passing teams of horses and carriages, some people were looking from horseback, and could vaguely see someone sitting in an abandoned house at the foot of the mountain, but no one bothered to check.

As the time approached midnight, there was a "whispering sound", and some mountain animals appeared one after another. Some of them had been here the night before, and some were not here last night.

These mountain animals cautiously arrived outside the fence, looking at the temple in the courtyard and the man sitting cross-legged beside the temple, and seemed to hesitate a little.

But at this moment, the old horse got up and snorted and neighed, and a young deer jumped into the fence first and came over cautiously with hoofs.

Seeing that the deer was fine, some animals soon entered the fenced yard one after another, burrowing or jumping.

The mountain ghost came relatively late. It was carrying a piece of dead wood. Most of the woody layer inside the wood had been hollowed out, but it was now filled with things, including roots of wild fruits from the mountains and some herbs or vegetation.

Seeing the mountain ghost approaching, many animals showed obvious fear, and even some animals that had been lying near the small temple moved out of the way.

This is not because mountain ghosts will hurt them, but these animals, like people, are also afraid of weird and scary things.

The mountain ghost did not dare to make a sound and carefully put down the dead wood in front of Yi Shuyuan. This arrangement was like a large offering table in front of the temple, and it was also filled with tributes.

Then Shan Gui took out another porcelain bowl, lowered his body and carefully approached Yi Shuyuan. After placing the bowl in front of him, he immediately took a few steps back and knelt down at a suitable distance.

After this, the commotion of other animals quickly calmed down.

Yi Shuyuan opened his eyes and looked down at the bowl next to him. He couldn't help but feel a little funny. It looked like he was a beggar. He put the bowl in his sleeve and looked around.

"The Bodhisattva has left. Today, Yi will explain the scriptures to you on behalf of the Bodhisattva!"

Yi Shuyuan's expression was calm with a hint of a smile, and his aura affected the surroundings, making the animals who were originally somewhat uneasy naturally calm down.

"If you couldn't hear clearly in the past, you can hear it clearly today. If you couldn't understand in the past, I will try my best to explain it to you today. In the past, if you heard half of it and had a headache, I will also help you today. From tonight

After that, you don’t have to come here to listen to the scriptures anymore.”

The relic appeared in Yi Shuyuan's hand. He held it in his hand and combined it with yesterday's memory to understand the essence of the Buddhist scriptures.

Scanning the surroundings again, there are a total of sixteen large and small animals that have activated their intelligence, as well as one mountain ghost.

In the future, maybe some of them will die from thunder on the way, maybe some will die directly from Orion's bows and arrows or traps, or be involved in some other disasters and die on the way.

But Yi Shuyuan also hopes that some of them can achieve some success, and maybe we can meet again one day. However, at this thought, Yi Shuyuan's face became a little serious.

"Although this predestined relationship originated from the Bodhisattva here, after tonight, Yi will be considered to be predestined with you. If I let me know who among you has become an evil spirit in the future, I will not spare him, so I will write it down.

?”

All the animals and mountain ghosts kowtowed to Yi Shuyuan. Although there was no sound, it was considered a response.

Yi Shuyuan nodded, brewing in his heart for a moment, trying his best to integrate his thoughts and emotions into the feeling of last night. The moment he opened his mouth again, the scriptures had reappeared from his mouth.

This time, the voice of the scriptures was calm and clear, reaching the ears of all the animals and mountain ghosts present.

This time, the scriptures were also deafening and enlightening, as if they could go straight into the heart, but the listeners could hear them completely. Even though their heads were still a little swollen, there was not much pain, as if a clear spring had been pouring on the top of their heads.

Yi Shuyuan finished reading the scripture once and then began to explain.

Although Yi Shuyuan has little research on Buddhist scriptures, he does not need to explain it entirely in accordance with Buddhist principles. The principles of immortality and principles of life and work can also be used to solve doubts.

The fundamental purpose is to establish a correct concept of practice for these immature practitioners in front of us, and to establish a suitable goal for them so that they will not fly around like headless flies.

"Those who practice virtue are close to others. Even if they are monsters and monsters, if they practice with a righteous mind, virtue will come from themselves and will not be inferior to others! If the mind is righteous, the spirit will be bright, and if the spirit is bright, the spirit will appear..."

"This god is not a god of heaven and earth, but the foundation of enlightenment for us practitioners. It can replace wisdom. It also means self-clarification, which means observing the body at ease. Since the mind is clear, there is naturally no fear. If you practice in this way, you will naturally be free.

As the Tao progresses day by day, there will naturally be no evil, neither evil in the body nor evil outside the body..."

Yi Shuyuan's narration is based on both Buddhist principles and his own understanding of the immortal way. Even so, the animals and mountain ghosts present cannot fully understand it. However, they all know that this opportunity is extremely rare. Even if they cannot understand everything, they try to understand it as much as possible.

remember.

Compared to usual, today's listening to scriptures and sermons continued for a long time. It was not until almost two hours later that Yi Shuyuan stopped. The listeners around him had also reached the limit of what they could bear.

Yi Shuyuan took out the gourd and uncorked the bottle, and all the fruits, roots and herbs among the dead wood flew into the gourd.

"Okay, the fate is over, you can go away and practice well from now on so that you can take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Yi Shuyuan had already stood up. Seeing this, the surrounding animals and the mountain ghost suddenly understood that he was leaving, and they all knelt down and worshiped together.
Chapter completed!
