Holy Bone

Chapter 320 The straw mat futon does not dust, and there seems to be no one on the stone among the pine

Jin An practiced archery for a long time.

After almost practicing ten arrows, seven or eight arrows will hit the target.

He carried the crossbow and the big sack behind him.

He rushed into the rain with one stride.

He rushed in the direction where Senior Guju left, looking for more exotic flowers and fruits, and by the way, went to collect interest on Tu Fuzi's head growing on his neck.

It was still the temple with an area of ​​more than ten acres. Because this time he was familiar with the route in advance, Jin'an hurried on the road very quickly.

It's just that when he revisited the old place, it was already empty.

Xiaoling Wang and his party had already left.

Jin An continued on his way.

King Xiaoling and the others had the sharp weapon of wooden kite, so they must have opened up a big gap with him. In order to reduce the one-day time difference that was delayed before, Jin An buried himself in the road all the way, and hurried to catch up with King Xiaoling and the others.

Of course.

In order to prevent falling into the trap.

Although his goal has not changed, he frequently changes his walking route, sometimes making a big detour, sometimes taking a few more turns, and sometimes making a curve, so as to prevent traps being set in advance because of taking a fixed route.

On the next journey, we encountered several newly collapsed small temples in succession. Jin An guessed that the gang of King Xiao Ling did it. He didn't want the latecomers to have a shelter from the wind and rain to rest, and he didn't want the latecomers to catch up with the ancient seniors. , and robbed them of exotic flowers and fruits, so they took all the ever-burning lights.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, before they could catch up with Xiaoling Wang and the others, Jin An, who was climbing a high mountain to look far away, had no choice but to find a place to spend the night first.

Standing on the top of the mountain, he could see several light sources in the distance, but even the nearest light source was more than ten miles away, so Jin An had to speed up his pace in the heavy rain.

This temple is a bit strange, it is actually a cliff temple built on a cliff, a few pieces of precious sunken wood thicker than two people, which will not rot for thousands of years, were driven deep into the cliff, and a temple was built in the air.

The cliff hall is not big, even much smaller than most temples, but it has a simple and quiet artistic conception.

The cliff hall is hundreds of feet high from the ground, and the only way to enter the temple is a narrow path carved out of the cliff.

In the absence of thousands of years of care, the cliff path has already collapsed in many places.

Ordinary people will definitely not be able to make it.

Jin An is naturally not an ordinary person.

Little challenges like this didn't bother him.

This cliff temple is just like other temples. The gate of the temple was breached by the outside world, and the statues enshrined inside have long since disappeared. The light sources in the temple come from an ever-burning lamp and a futon woven with straw mats.

This temple is covered with thick dust, and no one has visited it for thousands of years, but the straw mat futon is spotless. In this dilapidated and silent world, it is rare to strive for a bit of tranquility and solitude, with a high integrity and a breeze.

"There is a folk saying that 'straw mats and futons do not dust, and there is no one on the rocks among the pines'. It is possible to build a temple on a lonely cliff, to survive in a desperate situation, and to find a life in a desperate situation. The realm of practice must be very high. The state of mind is pure and not dusty, so that you can sit and forget yourself."

Jin An stood at the entrance of the cliff hall, bowed to the ever-burning lamp, the base of the statue, and the dust-free straw mat futon on the ground, and then stepped into the cliff hall.

After traveling for a day, Jin An sat down on the straw mat futon, ready to take out a persimmon from the sack to satisfy his hunger.

I don't know.

He just sat on the straw mat futon, as if time had passed, he appeared in a temple, where the brilliance converged, the sun was lingering, and the auspicious light was striped. He was sitting on the straw mat futon with his eyes closed and crossed his legs to practice.

The temple has an ancient charm, and the incense is flourishing here, and the incense is burning.

At the same time, there are many phantoms coming and going around him. They come and go, come and go, pay homage devoutly, and leave behind believers to offer incense.

Jin An wanted to try to see who they were paying homage to?

But he couldn't open his eyes to see who those people were paying homage to, but he could clearly feel the people around him coming and going, and the incense burning...

In the days that followed, there were phantoms coming and going around him every day, the ever-burning lights turned on and off, turned off and turned on again, the sun sets and the moon rises, the moon sets and the sun rises, spring goes and autumn comes, winter goes and spring comes again, Time flies, year after year, a small tree outside the temple gradually grows into a big tree...

Jin An gradually forgot the passage of time.

The mind gets an unprecedented tranquility.

The straw mat futon opens up the divinity of human beings and realizes one's own body.

A simple and natural Dao rhyme emanating from him.

Boo!
Jin An woke up from Huang Liang's dream, and the time flow around him disappeared, and he returned to the real world. The straw mat futon under his seat turned into fly ash, and he looked down on the tranquility of the years in the boundless years.

At this time, the sky outside has not completely darkened.

It was similar to the sky when Jin An first came to Yadian.

In the Tang Dynasty, Lu Sheng fell into a dream and married Meijiao Niang, won the Jinshi, was promoted to Shanzhou Mu, Jingzhao Yin, and finally was honored to be the Minister of the Household Department, the Royal Doctor, the Zhongshu Ling, and was named the Duke of Yan.His wife gave birth to five sons for him, all of whom were high-ranking officials and generously paid, and married to noble families.In his later years, the house was full of children and grandchildren, enjoying the family happiness, but when he finally woke up from the dream, it was a dream of Huang Liang... Jin An discovered that he was not a dream of Huang Liang. After he woke up from the dream, his spiritual cultivation had greatly improved. The sixth level of Holy Merit has completed Dzogchen.

After discovering this result, Jin An was quite surprised.

Although he has hundreds of years of great medicine tonic, but this time Nankeyimeng has saved him a lot of time in practice, as well as Yinde used to seal the tonic.

The key point is that Jin An discovered that his great improvement in spirit and soul this time did not show any signs of instability in his cultivation after being overwhelmed.

It is said that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Jin An suddenly regretted it a bit. When he was in the outside world, why didn't he confer the "Sacred Art of Heavenly Demon" several times at once? Maybe this Nankeyimeng can push him to a higher peak at once.

A straw futon is a big deal!

This cliff palace!
It has lived in a saint!
He stood up and bowed solemnly towards the empty base of the statue again, expressing his gratitude to the venerable sage for his enlightenment to his younger generation.

……

It was getting darker outside.

It was going to be completely dark in no time.

Suddenly, there were footsteps and conversations on the stone steps of the quiet empty mountain where the rain slapped. A man and a woman came to this cliff palace built on the cliff to hide from the rain for the night.

The visitor is a man and a woman.

The man is in his seventies and eighties, and his facial features look half like a weasel and half like an old fox.

The women are also in their seventies and eighties, and their facial features look half like an old vixen and half like a weasel.

The two were neither monks nor nuns, and they were dressed in ordinary clothes, so they couldn't see where they came from for the time being.

But the arms and legs are quite neat.

As soon as they came to the Cliff Hall, seeing that there was no one else here, they unceremoniously began to rummage around, trying to find any divine treasures in the Cliff Hall, but naturally they found nothing.

No awe at all.

a thankful heart.

At this time, the sky outside had completely darkened.

In the invisible darkness outside the cliff hall, more and more mysterious voices began to sound, as if there were whispers of many people, and screams of pain, creepy.

Those voices in the darkness, lingering on the stone steps of the ancient mountain, are getting closer and closer to the cliff hall, approaching the cliff hall in large numbers.

The pair of old weasel and old vixen in the cliff hall seem to have long been accustomed to those creepy voices in the dark night, and they are still perseveringly looking for everything in the cliff hall, with no fear and no fear , Seeing that they were about to overturn the cliff palace that provided them with shelter from the wind and rain, suddenly, oops, oops.

In the empty cliff hall, two screams of pain sounded.

The old man and the old woman who were making trouble in the cliff temple held their heads together and cried out in pain. Someone was throwing stones at them just now, which interrupted them from continuing to mess up things in the temple.

"Who?"

"Who is hitting me?"

The two of them were not kind people, so they immediately had a fierce look in their eyes, and wanted to kill someone, but when they turned around, they saw a Taoist priest with a stone bow on the empty altar where there was a god statue. Idol!The Taoist clasped Yin and Yang with his hands together, closed his eyes and remained motionless!
The lonely men and widows at night are not kind people at all, not to mention they are still guilty of thieves. The two of them knelt down in fright, bowed their foreheads like garlic, and muttered in their mouths that the god king let them go, are they not Intentionally offend the sanctuary.

The two were frightened suddenly, and they didn't have time to see what the statue looked like. After they kowtowed dozens of times, they saw that the Taoist statue had not moved, so they dared to look up at the statue boldly.

The Taoist statue is very young, just in his early twenties, wearing a Taoist robe full of scriptures. The Taoist robe is not a mortal thing, and it overflows with red light in the dark night. It is actually a pure yang thing, containing thunder and fire Road rhyme.

The strangest thing is that the statue of the Taoist priest is simply magical, lifelike, just like a living person, the two of them were suddenly frightened, and for a moment they wondered whether the statue was a living thing or not?

"Old, brother, when we entered the temple just now, the position of the statue... should be empty, right? Probably not, there is no such statue in front of us, right?"

The seventy or eighty-year-old woman whose facial features looked half like an old vixen and half like a weasel, still kneeling on the ground, said to the old man beside her in a trembling voice.

She staggered to and fro, yellow and black, black and old rotten teeth, giggling and trembling, and her eyes were frightened.

"There shouldn't be... this Taoist statue just now, right? It seems that it really popped up all of a sudden." The same dry old man in his seventies and eighties with a mouthful of rotten teeth was also so frightened that his legs were still a little weak, and he stood up for a while. Not getting up, he replied softly, not daring to act rashly.

The two talked secretly in private.

Seeing that the statue of the young Taoist priest remained silent, he couldn't help but become more courageous. From the sneaky look at the beginning, to the blatant look later.

"Brother... We have encountered so many temples. This is the first time we have encountered a temple with intact statues. Could it be that we were disrespectful to this temple just now... so it caused God's punishment? After all... we Now in the Paradise of Paradise that has disappeared for thousands of years...anything can happen here!"

The old woman with black and yellow teeth began to calm down gradually. She hammered her sore knees and continued to look at the statue of the young Taoist priest openly. She has delicate features, so handsome."

The most unbearable thing for a man is when someone of the opposite sex praises other men for being handsome in front of him. The old man is jealous, and he doesn't care if this is a temple or not. Bad old woman, do you still want to have unreasonable thoughts about a god?"

That old woman has never seen a bloody storm in her life. When facing dirty words, she is not as shy as a girl with yellow flowers. Instead, she said with a nonchalant expression on her face: "Old woman, I want to be 20 years younger, and if I still have physical strength, I will definitely treat this handsome woman." The idol is thinking wildly."

It's not that bastards don't come into a house.

These two people are also unscrupulous people. After experiencing the initial fright, seeing that the statue in front of them has not moved, the two began to stand up boldly again. They looked at the lifelike statue in front of them with a rosy face I want to step forward to test whether the idol is alive or not.

They are going to hide from the rain in this cliff hall overnight.

Be sure to figure out the situation in front of you and make sure the environment you are in is safe.

"Sister, don't you think the scripture robe on this young Taoist priest is a big treasure? Maybe the Taoist robe on this idol is also a divine treasure in this cave! And the stone bow on his back must be a treasure." A divine treasure!"

The old man became greedy.

Wanting to change his mind, he began to think about how to take off the Taoist robe of the Taoist statue.

This pair of old weasel and old vixen is also a perfect match, the old woman did not stop the old man from taking off the Taoist robe on the statue, but acquiesced in allowing the brave old man to take off the Taoist robe from the statue.

Just when the greed in the old man's eyes was getting stronger and stronger, and his hand was about to hook the Taoist robe of the god statue, suddenly, the Taoist priest opened his eyes!Eyes wide open!There is a cold lightning in the eyes, like a god descending to the mortal world to inspect this world!

Pfft!
Damn!

my mother!

The idol came alive!

The cliff hall suddenly became a mess, and there were exclamations of men and women.

The old man who climbed up to the altar and tried to pick off the Taoist robe and stone bow of the god statue was so frightened that he pissed off and rolled down the high altar heavily, with his nose bruised and his face swollen.

The old woman also screamed in fright, kowtowed and worshiped frantically along with the old man.

Boom boom boom!
The two of them knocked their heads loudly, their bodies trembled, their eyes were full of endless fear that could not be suppressed, and their foreheads were soon bruised.

Terrified.

The two of them kowtow like smashing garlic.

How dare you look up at the statue of the god and desecrate the statue of the god.

In particular, the old man was almost frightened away, and he was shocked. He felt that when he looked into the eyes of the god just now, his spirit seemed to fall into a vast and boundless sky. The soul trembled violently.

Just when the old man and the old woman were still kowtowing desperately, talking nonsense about forgiveness in frightened mouths, Huo!The Taoist statue on the altar suddenly stood up!

The two were so frightened that they kowtowed even more frantically, begging God for mercy...

Boom!
The Taoist idol took the bow and jumped off the altar!
