Vol 2 Chapter 390 Wakaji Temple
“Master, come on, there is a broken cottage here, you can rest!”
“Come, come, you go slower.”
A clear voice and a strong voice are clearly audible even under the wind and snow. From this point, it can be seen that the two speakers have their skills, and less often they are also martial arts practitioners.
Squeak, the dilapidated door of the cottage collapsed, and the door of the cottage had long been unable to assume its own responsibilities under the wind and rain.
A cold wind blew snowflakes into the hut, and two monks in thin clothes walked in one after another.
“Master, take a break and I’ll make a fire!”
The little monk Shifang looked around and found that there were a few pieces of firewood scattered around the corner of the hut that hadn’t been wet, probably left by nearby villagers.
Tearing~ Soon, a bonfire ignited in the middle of the house, and the warm light barely raised the temperature in the broken hut.
Bai Yun took a piece of cloth and cleaned the dust in the hut. He picked up some of the original structure of the house that had fallen on the ground and stuffed it back into the hole.
Although the size is definitely not suitable and the repair effect is not very good, anyway, the snowflakes blown in by the outside world are always a little less.
“Master, what day do you think it is, it snows heavily in June, and we didn’t bring thick clothes when we came out. We almost died of coldness.”
Shifang sat on the ground, put his luggage aside, and shook his hands comfortably near the bonfire.
“Flying snow in June, there must be a big injustice.” Zen Master Bai Yun sighed, and did not say the next half of the sentence. The country is about to die, and evildoers are growing.
“Master, do you mean that Fu Tianqiu was wronged in assassinating the emperor?” Shifang asked curiously.
When, Bai Yun tapped Shi Fang’s head lightly, “Recite the Heart Sutra, calm down, and after Xue Xiao, remember to find some firewood to make up for the consumption.”
Shifang stuck his tongue out. Master always did this. Whenever he talked about something, he changed the subject and didn’t answer directly.
In the middle of the night, the wind was strong, the huts under the pressure of the wind and snow were creaking, and the thatch on the roof was also caught in the wind, and more and more parts were ventilated.
Shifang’s hands encircled the bonfire, trying to protect the only source of fire from extinguishing.
But after all, people are just people, how can you block all the wind?
Under the swaying firelight, the shadows of Shifang swayed everywhere, and sometimes even joined together. At first glance, it was quite scary.
At this moment, Bai Yun unloaded his back basket, which contained a golden Buddha.
Nowadays, the righteous way is declining and the evil ways are rampant. The golden Buddha in Baiyun’s hands represents the last support of their Buddhist temple to those who are still fighting in the capital.
With the back basket facing him, Bai Yun and the Golden Buddha looked at each other through the back basket, and then Bai Yun slowly lowered his head and began to read the scriptures in his mouth.
A faint golden light radiated from the golden Buddha towards the surroundings. Under the shining of the light, the wind and snow in the sky were reduced by nine times, and the bonfire was also much stable.
Bai Yun looked up at the sky, there was no unexpected expression in his eyes, and the golden Buddha could not affect the natural celestial phenomenon. Therefore, this time, the wind and snow really had something in it.
“Let’s go.” Bai Yun put the bag back on his back, picked up the walking stick and said.
Shi Fang ran to Bai Yun’s side in three steps and two steps, and looked back at the bonfire with a pity, “Master, where are we going?”
“There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, just walking…”
Bai Yun said very freely, and there was a slowly moving halo above him and Shifang, covering the wind and snow.
On the other side, on the path leading to the top of the mountain, a team of horses and horses dressed in light clothes braved the wind and snow.
“Hurry up! There is an abandoned temple on this mountain, it’s safe to get there!”
The leader continued to cheer up, but the effect was very small. The heavy snow came too ridiculously, everyone was not prepared, and now they are too cold to use their strength.
Wow, a carriage slipped directly on the ice, the horse neighed and fell, and the cart on it also slid in downwards. The rope dragged the horse’s neck and pulled out a long snow mark on the road.
The few people pushing in the rear could not be touched and fell to the ground. Seeing that they were about to be crushed by the slid cart, the leader let out a sigh of relief.
The figure shuttled among the snowflakes, and after a few ups and downs, it arrived behind the cart, grabbed one with one hand and threw it aside, then leaped and swiped the accelerating down cart out of danger.
With a bang, the cart crashed on the rock below the mountain road, and the horse pulling the cart lost its breath, and half of its body was smashed into mud.
Looking up at the expanding blizzard, the leader waved his hand, “Tie the goods to the surrounding trees and follow me up the mountain to avoid the snow!”
The goods are expensive, but the lives of the people in the team are heavier. These people and the leader are all related to each other, and at worst they are in the same village. In addition, they have been together for so long, and they are all very reliable.
In this chaotic year, these brothers are the foundation for the leader to settle down.
After tying a cart of cargo to a large thick tree, the team rode horses and ran wildly towards the temple in the words of the leader on the top of the mountain.
Soon after they left, the corpse of the horse was pulled out from under the stone, and was dragged into the depths of the forest by a black shadow.
When the horse’s legs collided, the snowflakes accumulated on a stone tablet were knocked down, revealing three big characters.
Lanruo Temple!
The gate of the dilapidated temple was pushed open with a bang, the door shaft broke directly, and the entire door flew inside.
“Pop! What the hell!” The leader patted the yelling guy, “The door is gone, wait for you to stand here to keep out the wind!”
“Ah?!” The reckless man opened his mouth and rubbed his body. It would be freezing to death if he stood here in this weather.
“Ah what, don’t hurry up and pick up the door and install it!” The leader was a little helpless.
“Wait, wait, UU reading www.uukānshu.com first get out of the way and get the horse in.”
A few minutes later, the caravan ignited the fire with their own fire and the rotten tables and chairs in the temple’s main hall.
“It’s more comfortable…” The reckless man leaned on the kneeling horse and sighed long.
“Brother Xie, the weather is a bit weird, maybe behind the scenes…”
“I know, but I will definitely not be able to rush out right now. Let the brethren be more vigilant, double the number of vigilants, pick a few stronger horses, and feed the beans that they brought over. When the snow is a little bit smaller, I will take them. People go to find their way.”
While making arrangements, Brother Xie kept watching in the main hall. He heard this temple from the hunter when he walked around here before.
In the mouths of those hunters, this is an ominous place. According to legend, dozens of monks in this temple evaporated overnight, leaving no trace.
It is precisely because of that legend that this place has been abandoned to the present. There is no serious person, and even beggars dare not come to this place.
