Chapter 213 Ghosts in Autumn Graves Sing Bao Family Poems

Looking up at the mountain peak shaped like a drum-shaped boulder, Jiang Wen and his party climbed slowly along the ancient mountain road. They saw "Shigufeng" carved on the huge stone wall at the foot of the mountain. These three regular scripts with the style of Wei stele are free and easy, with extraordinary writing power.

, I am afraid that very few people can write it.

The scenery along the way was pretty beautiful. It wasn't until a few people passed through the countryside covered with bamboos, shrubs and wild thorns, and saw a few lonely stone houses, that Jiang Wen had an unpleasant feeling.

"Amitabha, the two benefactors will temporarily stay in the mountain house from now on until the abbot and senior brother arrange other residences."

Master Anren, who was wearing a dung-sweeping suit, was carrying the luggage of two people and their daily necessities. He was still able to walk quickly on the mountain road. His dark face showed no fear or worry, and he seemed to be happy with everything in front of him.

"Although this place is remote and cold, it is a first-class place of cultivation in Jizu Mountain. It is also very close to the stone chamber medicine pond at the foot of the mountain. You two can stay here with peace of mind."

The shabby houses that appeared in front of Jiang Wen were extremely shabby and shabby. Even staying in them during the day was unsafe, let alone the middle of the night when the night was full of dew. Someone had been transferred from the Bamboo Forest Abode to this cold rock mountain house.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but look at Luo Shuang'er with surprise, only to find that Luo Shuang'er had a cold face and said nothing, and her attitude was even more indifferent than usual.

"Ahem, Master Anren, do you usually live here? It's not that I want to find fault. There are so many places to live in such a large Sittan Temple. Why did Master have to choose this... this..."

Jiang Wen was shocked for a long time and finally spoke, carefully considering his tone and said, "Choose this treasure land with good wind and water?"

What Jiang Wen wanted to question most was whether Abbot Hongbian had mistreated his junior brother. Otherwise, why would one live in an elegant and elegant house while the other lived in a dilapidated house with leaky tiles? There was such a huge difference.

To put it bluntly, it is understandable that Master Anren wanted to build a house and a cottage in such a lush and secluded place. However, these stone rooms are too simple and simple, and the desolation is in sharp contrast to the magnificence of the Sidan Temple.

It's like two different worlds. Compared with Jiang Wen's own Dawangfeng, it's a bit colder and colder, which makes people think a lot.

"Amitabha, what do you mean by the donor's words?"

The old monk in front of him had a grimace on his face, and his short stubble of hair had not been shaved off, and showed the mottled gray hair after exposure to the wind and snow. He said to Jiang Wen expressionlessly: "The wonderful path of all Buddhas in the past has always been there.

Now, just because people in the world can do things that are difficult to do, and can endure things that are difficult to endure, all karma will persist."

Hearing what the old monk said, Jiang Wen became interested again and asked: "But Sakyamuni said that all sentient beings have the wisdom and virtue of the Tathagata, but they cannot achieve it due to delusion and persistence. As the saying goes, 'In the Holy Spirit'

"If it doesn't increase, it won't decrease in the ordinary world." What does the master have to say?"

Master Anren said calmly, "Amitabha, humans and all Buddhas are ultimately equal in terms of their Dharma nature. However, in terms of things, humans are deluded and Buddhas are enlightened. Otherwise, why did the predecessors seek Dharma?"

During the practice, there are times when one stands in the snow and prays at night, or one has a broken arm and prays for the Dharma? The old monk is just an ordinary person, how can he covet a good night's sleep?"

"The Master is wrong. The wonderful ways of the Buddhas are great virtues and great wisdom. Living alone in an empty mountain is just a small virtue and a small wisdom. How can it be regarded as true practice? If the Master really wants to live in the world and practice hard, he should move to the top of Kunlun, among the jade mountains.

On the top of the mountain, in the ice and snow, you can personally experience the results of practice. Only then can you let go of your careless and conceited mind, and be worthy of the seals of all Buddhas."

After listening to Jiang Wen's words, Master Anren showed some thoughts, but judging from his eyes, this thought was obviously not because of Jiang Wen's arrogant rhetorical questions, but because of him, the uninvited guest of Xitan Temple.

"Amitabha, you are so good. It seems that the old monk has slighted the donor. Please don't blame me."

Master Anren expressed his apology expressionlessly, but there was a slight change in his attitude. Jiang Wen also quickly clasped his hands and said to the old monk: "Master, you are telling the truth. After all, it was Jiang who lied first. Please forgive me."

crime."

A monk and a layman suddenly apologized to each other, which puzzled Luo Shuang'er who was following behind her. But today, she seemed much colder to Jiang Wen. She was full of doubts and no one could answer them. After biting her lips and looking around, she could not bear it.

I stayed without asking any questions.

Then Master Anren fell into silence again, as if he had finished everything he had to say today.

After he settled the two of them in the mountain house, he took them back down the mountain and returned to the stone room that was integrated with the mountain. He went in alone to check the situation everywhere and put the medicinal materials in fixed positions.

, in order to maximize the efficacy of the medicine.

At this time, Jiang Wen and Luo Shuang'er were the only two people left outside the stone room, but Luo Shuang'er still stood aside with a face as cold as snow. She didn't say a word to Jiang Wen, and only heard Jiang Wen speak a series of death lines smoothly.

There was no sincerity in his expression, and he had no intention of further explanation.

"Sister Shuang, you misunderstood me. You must listen to my explanation. Things are not what you imagined..."

What should be explained? Jiang Wen didn't know either.

The disagreement between the two was not serious at all. It was just that they had not seen each other for three days while recovering from injuries. When Jiang Wen pestered the abbot to interrogate Princess Pingxi about Princess Pingxi, he was overheard by Luo Shuang'er who was looking for someone at the door. Immediately, Luo Shuang'er's attitude became abnormal.

Indifferent, Jiang Wen didn't know how he had offended her now.

The crux of the matter is, what exactly is he trying to explain?

On weekdays, Luo Shuang'er was cold and indifferent to Jiang Wen, but Jiang Wen was just like Luo Shuang'er towards him. It was clear that he had no affection for him. He just ignored him and followed him mysteriously, seeming to be a little intimidated - at this time

Because the other party's attitude is a bit cold, you can't just go up and criticize yourself and say that you shouldn't inquire about other women, right?

Therefore, no matter what he wanted to do, it would be inappropriate. He could simply pretend that nothing happened and wait for the other party to show signs before making any plans.

"Two donors, everything for use is in the stone chamber. It is ready now. All you need to do is put the medicinal materials and light the stove fire. In the past few days, there will be no other monks coming or going under Shigu Peak. Every day

Meals will also be delivered by dedicated personnel.”

Monk Anren walked out of the cave dripping with sweat, took out the last debris to be cleaned, and told the two of them some things to pay attention to, "This cave has no second exit except the flue. When you two enter the stone chamber, the old monk will

The stone door will be completely closed from the outside. As long as the door is locked inside, there will be no reason to push it open from the outside. You two can be absolutely assured."

The old monk gestured at the internal structure. It turned out that the stone door could be locked from the inside to prevent outsiders from breaking in. It seemed that the original function of this deep stone room was to be a place for monks to meditate in seclusion, not a cell as Jiang Wen maliciously suspected.

But the more Jiang Wen listened to his tone, the more strange he became. He quickly grabbed the sleeve of Master An Ren's monk's robe and asked: "Master An Ren, I don't need to soak in the medicine pool. Who told you that I want to enter together?"

Master Anren looked at him in surprise for a long time: "I usually see Donor Jiang speaking in a friendly manner, so I thought the two of them were a couple, so that's why I said this... Could it be that the old monk made a mistake?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen felt that the coldness on Luo Shuang'er's body suddenly increased. He quickly stood up and stepped aside, solemnly explaining: "Master has misunderstood. I am alone and unmarried. Sister Shuang is my fellow junior sister. The two of them

Not a couple."

After this explanation, the cold air on Luo Shuang'er's side gradually dissipated. Seeing that the situation between the two of them was not quite right, the old monk quickly recited the Buddha's name and left, and suddenly they were left alone.

"Sister Shuang...please?"

The many inconveniences faced by women in the pure land of Buddhism are obvious. Jiang Wen stretched out his hand to signal Luo Shuang'er to come in, and stopped outside the stone gate in a regular manner, not daring to cross even half a step.

Not to mention Jiang Wen, there is probably no suitable candidate in the entire Xitan Temple to serve Luo Shuang'er's medicated bath, and it would be very difficult to do it. Abbot Hongbian was betting on the reputation of the Xitan Temple, and he had already considered it very thoughtfully in advance.

The monks were driven away from this area just to avoid causing any trouble. Now that the last step had been reached, Jiang Wen was naturally no longer suitable to stay any longer.

"Sister Shuang, after you enter the medicine pool, remember to use your power to absorb the power of the medicine. I will patrol nearby and watch. Every once incense stick, I will come back and knock on the door. If you have nothing to do, just knock on the brick three times as a signal.

"

But to Jiang Wen's surprise, Luo Shuang'er, who was dressed as white as snow and entered the cave, changed her previous attitude and suddenly said to Jiang Wen, "Can you stay and talk to me?"

Jiang Wen, who was about to move his feet, was stunned: "Ah? What did you say?"

Luo Shuang'er walked into the deep stone chamber and left behind the most obvious emotional wave of the day: "In order to heal your wounds, you didn't speak to me for three whole days. Do I have to be mute too?"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Wen couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that this was the reason for his temper.

To put it this way, I was a bit excessive. First I hid in the Fayun Pavilion for three days without seeing anyone, leaving Luo Shuang'er in the monastery alone in a daze. Then I finally got out and went to find the abbot, but Luo Shuang'er caught me and saw that I had not done anything serious.

I just kept asking about the news about a certain Qinhuai Eight Beauties...

"Sister Shuang, you misunderstood me. You must listen to my explanation. Things are not what you imagined..."

Jiang Wen started to express his defense without sincerity again. At this time, the old monk who was hiding aside and protecting him was covering his face and sighing. Donor Jiang in front of him looked very smart, but why couldn't he tell the difference every time?

What about the severity?

…………

As Jiang Wen slowly exerted his strength, the heavy door of the stone chamber was gradually pushed open, and it was closed so tightly that no gaps were left. Only a few remaining rock crevices where the mountain rock layers overlapped, serving as a winding flue to communicate with the outside world.

Traffic, and then heard a click of the stone bolt falling. At this time, unless someone could overturn the rock and dig out the stone veins, it would be absolutely impossible to break into it.

Jiang Wen, who was staying outside the cave, hesitated. After studying a mushroom at the door that seemed to have been eaten in a previous life, he decided to face reality.

Since Luo Shuang'er had asked him to talk to her, Jiang Wen, who still felt a little guilty in his heart, was embarrassed to leave at this time, so he found the crevice in the rock and said into the flue of the crevice: "Sister Shuang, can you hear me?"

See you?"

It is difficult to transmit sound due to the mountains and rocks, so even if he is trapped inside, it is not easy to be discovered. Fortunately, Jiang Wen has many martial arts skills at his side. Yan Biyun concentrates his skills on the Tinggong acupoint of his ears, which instantly amplifies his hearing.

Extremely, start listening attentively.

"I heard……"

Jiang Wen only heard Luo Shuang'er say the words "I heard it" with a hint of surprise, followed by the rustling sound of undressing and undressing, and the sound of ripples in the water. He quickly dispersed and waited for a while before continuing to speak.

He said while leaning into the crack in the rock.

"Don't worry Sister Shuang, I'll be waiting outside the cave and won't go anywhere."

Jiang Wen spoke honestly, with a frank and lenient attitude, expressing his style of not being afraid of boiling water, "You asked me to accompany you to talk, but I don't know what to say. I'm afraid that if I say the wrong thing, I'll let you down again."

unhappy."

After Luo Shuang'er sighed slightly, a slightly helpless voice came: "...Then tell me, what are the meanings of those riddles you and Master Anren just talked about."

The other party spoke little. When Jiang Wen saw Luo Shuang'er step down the stairs, a faint smile appeared on his lips, he casually explained the previous story.

If you want to get along well, you have to go to some temple and recite some sutras, and if you want to deal with monks, you have to understand something about them. Therefore, during the three days Jiang Wen spent in Fayun Pavilion, he did not sit idle and meditate on death, but

I took the opportunity to read a lot of scriptures and gain some knowledge about Buddhism.

Jiang Wen had experience in Taoist temples, and there were Buddhist classics from various sects and sects collected by Abbot Hongbian in Fayun Pavilion, and they were recorded by eminent monks. Therefore, he learned a lot of specious content from other sources, and he immediately recognized Master Anren.

What it means.

Li Xue and Broken Arm refers to the story of Bodhidharma, the first ancestor of Huijian, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism. This incident is recorded in "Jingde Chuandeng Lu".
