Late Night Tales Of The Capital Chapter 133: Cooking snow and closing the mountain night
Youzhou is the northernmost state in the Tang Dynasty and the coldest place in the entire Central Plains.
It is said that people living in Youbei, because of the cold weather in winter, it is easy to form ice and snow as soon as they speak. They may not hear them when they stand opposite each other, so they have to go home and cook slowly. This legend comes from a temple in Youbei. Over time, this temple was called Zhuxue by everyone, which also became the origin of Zhuxue Temple.
The Daxiong Hall of Zhuxue Temple stands in the middle of the temple. There are three gates in front of the temple. There are three golden statues in the temple, one Sakyamuni, one Kaye Venerable, one Ananda Venerable, in front of the golden statue A light yellow futon was placed, and there was no one on the futon at this time.
There is a small house on the side of the Daxiong Hall, where Master Yunxia lives all year round.
The sky was getting dark, and snowflakes floated outside the temple.
There is a small stove in Master Yunxia's house. There is a small pot on the stove. There is a little residual tea in the pot. The top of the pot is filled with hot air, and there is a gurgling sound of bubbling water. A withered hand picked up the teapot, poured out half of the tea, and left half of it in the pot.
Put the tea water to your mouth, take a sip, a little faint, it seems that the long time boiling has made the residual tea have long lost its flavor, but this master Yunxia whispered, "Three percent snow color, boil The seven-point tea fragrance can be regarded as a great taste in the world."
Following the falling snow outside the house, Master Yunxia slowly savored a cup of residual tea, then got up and walked outside the house, reaching out for a few pieces of snowflakes, her eyes flowed in her arms, and she closed her eyes as if she was setting all her emotions in the vast snow. In the mist.
"Listen to the wind."
"Cooking snow."
"Recall the past."
Master Yunxia sighed leisurely.
"Ten years ago, visitors from the cold night came to make tea as wine, and the bamboo stove soup boiled to reduce the redness. What about today? Is the mountain gate open? The words are all cooked, and the tea is exhausted. What about the future?"
Raised his leg and walked into the Daxiong Hall, without closing the door.
The falling snow outside the door swept into the hall with the cold wind, and the dim light flickered and extinguished four or five candlelights.
Sighed again, Master Yunxia was full of grief and hesitated.
With the effort of a cup of tea, when he left, when he looked up, the golden statue in front of him unexpectedly showed a vision!
The corner of the golden statue's eyes was faintly bloody. The blood from one eye was scarlet and the blood from one eye was dark and dark.
Looking at the bleeding golden statue, Master Yunxia's expression became even colder, and the hands inserted in the sleeves of the robes crossed the calculations extremely quickly, and finally exhaled deeply.
After a while, the monks in the entire Chuxue Temple received the abbot’s hand-instruction, “Since tonight, the Chuxue Temple is closed and the mountain is closed. Without the abbot’s instruction, no one is allowed to leave the monastery for half a step, and no one is allowed to step on it. Enter the gate of the temple. All the disciples in the temple devote themselves to the practice of Buddha, enter the Ding Retreat, and within ten years, the Chuxue Temple will no longer participate in any matters of the realm of cultivation."
The Fengshan Souvenir used the golden cicada order of the highest level of Zhuxue Temple.
The content is also the strictest, and the general order issued only when the crisis is the most crisis, in the impression of this generation of monks. For a hundred years, a mountain closure order of this level has never been issued. Even when the first emperor exterminated the Buddha, Zhuxue Temple never closed the mountain for ten years, and never refused all matters concerning the realm of cultivation. This is almost equivalent to leaving the world and the realm of cultivation. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a seclusion.
But this is the Jin Chan's manuscript issued jointly by the abbot and Master Yunxia, and the monks of Quan Zhuxue Temple must execute it.
Standing right in front of the Daxiong Hall, the abbot of Zhuxue Temple looked at the snow in the distance, and said slowly, "Do you think the closure of the mountain can avoid this disaster?"
Master Yunxia stood beside the abbot, "I don't know if I can avoid it, but I know that opening the door to welcome guests will definitely bring the Zhuxue Temple into a state of immortality."
"The bloodshed of the golden statue has given us a clear warning and cannot be ignored." Master Yunxia said this, feeling a little depressed, "Brother, do you think I am willing to make this decision? I just deduced it. The guest of tonight is my old friend and has an extraordinary cause and effect connection with me. Closed door is to cut the cause and effect. The people of my generation who practice Buddhism put the most emphasis on cause and effect. If it were not extremely urgent, I would definitely not be like this."
The abbot turned his head, stretched out his hand from the robes and patted Master Yunxia on the shoulder, "Junior brother has the intention, the Qianqiu Foundation of Zhuxue Temple cannot die because of you and me."
"I understand the truth, so I can make up my mind."
Cicada Mountain Cooking Snow Temple in the night.
There was a squeaky door closing.
The falling snow covered the road up the mountain, and the sound of the bell at that time turned into a dead silence at this time.
On the climbing stone ladder of Cicada Mountain, a group of more than a dozen people from Ye Que walked towards Zhuxue Temple step by step. Lei Tianyou was still carrying Guan Shu on his back, but Hongdou actually climbed onto Ye Que's back ‘shamelessly’, claiming to make him apologize, and also said that he was sleepy and unwilling to walk.
These days, Ye Que has no way to take the red beans. A few days ago, he could scare her and want to do it. But now even if he does it, he can’t beat her. It’s a difference. Coupled with knowing the true identity of Hongdou, Ye Que had no idea of doing anything with her.
And he finally knew why at the time Hongdou would say that she did not look young. According to the calculations of the Dragon Clan, she was indeed just a young girl, a minor dragon girl.
According to human calculations, she is probably close to a hundred years old.
However, Ye Que is not a normal person. His body is less than twenty years old, and he is still a young man. Don’t forget that his age in his heart is already over a hundred years old. If you count it seriously, he is also a complete man. The old man is at least an old man in his heart.
No one took advantage, each other.
Ye Que can be considered as wanting to open it, so he can carry it on his back. It can be multiplied. The most is that he is carrying a dragon. He is a cultivator of the Star Realm, and he is also afraid of this little thing.
Think about it another way. Most people don't have this opportunity yet.
This is the real little dragon girl!
The mountain road under the dark night is dark and deep, and it is barren mountains and ridges, looking up in pitch black, bowing in pitch black, Ye Que is okay, the young female disciples of Fenglei Pavilion are already a little scared.
The dozen or so female disciples, if you count them seriously, most of them are out for the first time.
For the first time, it was the most dangerous trial that has gone and never returned. It was good at first. As time goes by, the fear in my heart will become stronger and stronger. Fortunately, Lei Tianyou woke up once in the day. , Ye Que and Hongdou were two masters beside him. If only Guan Shuheng was a male disciple, maybe these people would dare to go forward now.
"Junior Brother, how long will it be here? The night is already dark. We are not on the wrong path, right?" Someone asked in a low voice.
"I also think it’s a little crippled. I can’t see anything in front. Are we walking right?"
"I can't hold it anymore."
After all, the female disciple is not as good as the male disciple. After a whole day of rushing, whether it is from the true essence, physical strength or spiritual, it has almost reached its limit.
Guan Shuheng lifted Lei Tianyou's body up, then carefully observed the surrounding situation, and then contemplated for a long time, and then said uncertainly, "Senior sisters, everyone hold on again and follow Senior brother's instructions, we should have not taken the wrong path, and we are in front of Zhuxue Temple."
"Look at your feet, the road is slippery on a snowy night, don't fall, everyone try to support a little bit, take care of each other."
Although the road is slippery on a snowy night, snow can also reflect some faint light, which is certainly not good than the full moon, but it is definitely much better than some dim stars.
With a goal, and worrying about Lei Tianyou's injury, these female disciples finally gritted their teeth again, raising their legs again and climbing towards the top of the mountain step by step.
In the twilight, more than a dozen figures walked among the Cicada Mountains. The wilderness was lonely, and the night was silent, with only a faint gasp.
When these female disciples were about to be exhausted, a large antique temple group finally appeared in front of everyone. At this time, the temple was covered with a light white gauze by falling snow, which can be seen from the outside. I know, there are people cleaning and repairing here every day, and faintly, an infinite coercion comes from the temple.
"Buddha Sect's unmatched formation!"
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with where we came. The strength of the Buddhist practitioners here must be extraordinary. This mountain gate alone is a bit extraordinary." The female disciple walking in the front said excitedly.
"Junior Brother Guan~IndoMTL.com~ you go knock on the door, we are going to be unable to hold on anymore."
He made an apologetic gesture with his senior sisters, and Guan Shuheng quickly walked a few steps and headed towards the gate of the temple. In fact, he was just as tired, and even more tired than the others, but there was no way, Feng Lei Pavilion Here, there is only one male disciple of him now, and he must be responsible.
"Clang clang clang!"
Three dull knocks, not loud. Guan Shuheng didn't seem to want to disturb others. He might also find it impolite to press too hard, so he only knocked three times.
Everyone is waiting outside the gate of the temple, and the snow above their heads is getting bigger and bigger.
For a long time, there was no movement in the temple.
"Brother, you knock a few more times."
"Try harder, it's late at night after all, maybe the masters of Zhuxue Temple have already entered concentration practice or have fallen asleep and rested."
Looking back at the senior sister, Guan Shuheng hesitated, and even put his ear on the temple door and listened. After confirming that there were no footsteps, he gritted his teeth and knocked three times. This time the sound was louder than before. A little bit, but still a dull degree.
The knock on the door echoed in the cicada mountains, but it seemed to be absorbed by the snow, and the stone fell to the sea.
Waiting for another quarter of an hour, there was still no movement. This time even Ye Que's expression was a little confused. Originally, following Guan Shu to come here was a temporary motive, thinking about sending the group of disciples in Fenglei Pavilion to safety. It won’t be too late to leave the place, but now it seems to be ups and downs again.
"Get out of the way, let me try."
Guan Shuheng stretched out a hand behind him. It turned out that his senior sister finally couldn't wait any longer, so she wanted to knock on the door herself.
"Boom!"
There was a loud slamming of the door, and the girl used her strength to suckle up, she didn't even think of any politeness or impoliteness, she almost couldn't hold on to it, who could worry about that.
