Jingtan Mountain is the second sacred mountain of Buddhism. It is located in the hinterland of the Central Plains. It has Wanghai Peak in the east, Guayue Peak in the west, Jinxiu Peak in the south, Ye Dou Peak in the north, and Cuiyan Peak in the middle, so some people call it "Wutai Mountain".
Although Jingtan Mountain is ranked behind Fuyuan Mountain in the cultivation sect, in the eyes of ordinary people, this fairy mountain is no worse than Zen Fuyuan Mountain. There are many tourists all year round and the incense is flourishing.
The novice monks in Wufeng follow strict rules and regulations, are benevolent and willing to give. Compared with a large Zen monastery, it is hundreds of times better.
A few years ago, Jingtan Mountain was in trouble and was forcibly occupied by the Tianwang Sect, which made the people and monks feel very sad. Fortunately, the Bone Emperor was born and destroyed the arrogant and domineering Shituo with one palm, and the fairy mountain returned to the embrace of Buddhism.
On this day, the monks in Jingtan Mountain opened a warehouse to put food in to rescue the homeless people. Junior Brother Yichen was very busy. Huahe's status was equal to that of the legal master, so he didn't have to do the work himself. But he couldn't see everyone's hard work and he was free.
Together they took off their cassocks, rolled up their monk's robes, and carried the rice bags with their fellow disciples.
The legal master is standing in the attic of the intrigues. Although he has kind eyebrows and kind eyes and a peaceful face, there is a cloud of sadness gathering in his heart.
The geographical location of Jingtan Mountain, according to military strategists, can be said to be surrounded by enemies on all sides. There is the Barbarian Territory in the southwest, the Tianwang Sect in the north, the Bing Valley in the northeast, and the Xishu Jianshan Mountain in the west. No matter which two factions fight, they will be in trouble.
It's a fish in the pond.
Now that several neighboring sects have been destroyed by the Corpse King, Jingtan Mountain is the first to bear the brunt. How can this not make him anxious? The big brother who he could rely on in the past is now also troubled by the refugee issue. What should he do according to his nature?
I had the nerve to ask him for help, not to mention that the chief disciple of Fuyuan Mountain had already rushed here as soon as possible.
The last time they teamed up with Dongyang Zhenren, they failed to take him down, so he knew very well how terrifying the Corpse King was, so instead of making useless efforts, he had no choice but to recite scriptures silently and pray that Li Changye would not come here.
The flames of the green lantern jumped unwillingly, and the ancient scriptures lay quietly on the desk without intention to read. Huahe, who had been tired for a day, stretched his arms a few times, and sighed to Junior Brother Yichen: "Just one person can make the world uneasy. No wonder that year in Binggu
, can easily isolate the barbarian domain."
"That's right, senior brother! The power of ghosts and gods that are beyond the reach of ordinary people are all things that mortals fear."
After hearing what he said, Hua He said: "Junior brother's attainments in scriptures are much better than mine."
"It made senior brother laugh."
"The Zen meditation at Jingtan Mountain is better than that at Fuyuan Mountain. This is something all the masters have admitted. But you don't need to comfort me. I'm not ashamed at all."
"Bah!"
Junior Brother Yichen recited Amitabha, but thought in his heart: Those who are close to Mo are really black. Senior Brother Hua learned a lot of shameless skills from Lu Kouchuan.
However, just a few days after leaving Nanhai, he also missed it a little. No, as soon as he returned to Jingtan Mountain, he was arrested and tortured by his master. There was no one to supervise him, and no one forced him to practice. He wanted to practice Zen.
I just practiced Zen and picked up flowers when I wanted to. It was unrestrained and very comfortable. And the wine and meat on the first floor were really delicious. The wine and meat also passed through the intestines. The Buddha also left it in his heart. Will he fall into the devil's path? Let's talk about that later.
!
"Oh, junior brother! Do you have a crush on one of the senior sisters from Nanhai? Why do you look like such a nympho?"
Monk Yichen came to his senses, wiped the drool in a panic, and recited Amitabha several times quickly.
Hua He chuckled, looking strange, and said in a low voice: "Junior brother, are you there? Talk to senior brother!"
Yichen blushed instantly: "No, no, senior brother! How can a monk talk about women?"
Hua He laughed, "It's really boring to make you nervous. So what if you become a monk? Can't you still return to secular life?"
"Return to secular life?"
It would be terrible for the master to hear these words. Although he recited a few more words of Amitabha, Hua He's heart was completely aroused. How did he know that before he became a monk, he was also the son of a wealthy Jiangnan family and had a relationship with that woman?
She was a childhood sweetheart who fell in love secretly. It was only because of the struggle between the cultivation sects that her family fell, and she was rejected by her father's family, so she became a monk in despair. Now things have changed, people can return to secular life, but the moon is gone.
It seems like the old days are round, and people can’t go back.
Seeing that his face was solemn and sad, Huahe also became serious.
"Junior Brother Yichen, did you think I was right?"
Monk Yichen sighed, his eyes were covered with a thin layer of white mist, and his expression became dazed. He spoke in a low voice and said slowly:
"I have forgotten the suffering here for ten years, but not long ago, she actually appeared in the Nanhai Palace of Invincibility."
"What? Bu Sheng Dian? Who is it? Junior brother, can you tell me?" This sentence aroused Hua He's strong interest.
Thinking that Huahe was not an outsider, Monk Yichen sighed and briefly told him the past events.
Thirteen years ago, he was the son of a wealthy family in the city of Suzhou. He was diligent and studious since childhood, and was good at poetry and painting. But she was a good girl, famous for her embroidery skills in Suzhou, her two families were close to each other, and she lived in a neighbor's house. Whenever he lit the lamp and read,
Late at night, you can see the exquisite and blurry figure in front of the embroidered window.
That night, when the moon was bright, she opened the window embroidered with spring flowers, and after their eyes met, the two of them got out of hand. From then on, in front of the flowers and under the moon, they vowed to make a lifelong alliance.
When Yichen said this, his voice became a little more choked up, and Huahe could also guess half of what happened next.
"That's right. Later, something happened to my family, my clan members were killed, and his father strongly opposed us. That's why I became disheartened and became a novice monk in Jingtan Mountain. That woman... is... the third brother of Junior Brother Li now.
Madam—Yunbi.”
"What?"
Hua He slowly stood up in disbelief and remained silent for a long time before saying: "Junior Brother, why didn't you say it that day? With Junior Brother Li's temperament, he would definitely..."
Yichen interrupted him: "What's the use of saying it?" Although he pretended to be calm, Huahe could feel the distress in his heart.
"I am already a monk and cannot give her happiness or the wealth and glory that her family wants."
"Junior brother, you are stupid!"
No wonder he never walked around the peaks after entering the peak. He must be afraid of seeing her!
Yichen did not speak, but stopped slowly twisting the beads in his hand. After a long time, he said: "In the past ten years, I have read scriptures and prayed in front of the Buddha thousands of times. I just hope that she can be well. Now I wish
If it is achieved, what else is there to be stupid about?”
Hua He sat back on the wooden chair and said calmly: "No, I must talk to Junior Brother Li about this matter."
Yichen suddenly rushed in front of him, half-kneeling, holding his palm, and said hurriedly: "Senior brother, no, absolutely no."
Hua He helped him up and said angrily: "I just want to ask you, if she doesn't have you in her heart! Why did she wait for more than ten years before leaving the cabinet?"
Yichen froze on the spot for a moment, understanding in his heart, his eyes lost color, and his lips were frozen there with half-open and half-closed lips. Not long after, the prayer beads slowly came out of his hands and fell to pieces with a few clicks.
"When she married into Nanhai, you were inside the palace and she was outside. She couldn't see you from her perspective. You've been staying shut for the past few years. She's afraid she doesn't know you're close at hand."
Yichen came back to his senses and said somewhat distractedly: "Senior brother, it's still not possible...she has already..."
Hua He threw away his hand and said angrily: "So what? What about the monk? What about the woman? Do you dislike her?"
"No, no...no." Yichen took a step back, trying to hold the beads out of habit, but there was nothing in his hands.
Hua He flicked his sleeves and said sternly: "Don't worry about this matter. Senior brother, I will make the decision for you."
Yichen raised his wet eyes and looked at the figure from behind, feeling a warm current surge in his heart. He had forgotten the pain of lovesickness for ten years, and when it hits again, it is such a turbulent wave.
He slowly sat back, reached out and closed the ancient Buddhist scrolls beside the green lamp, straightened the somewhat messy monk's robe, and never recited the Amitabha Buddha again.
Da da da----
Two drops of rain hit the green tiles on the roof. The two fell into silence and did not dare to make a sound. The atmosphere in the room gradually became weird.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, like soybeans falling into a dustpan.
With a bang, the wooden door of the meditation room was pushed open, and the two of them rushed out together.
The figure rose and fell several times, leaping to the roof. A bolt of lightning flashed across the roof, leaving a pair of dark footprints on the green tiles of the roof.
The two looked at each other, and their backs instantly felt wet. This chapter has been completed!
