The Legend of Xianyu

Standing at the foot of the mountain, Li Tianran looked up at the towering Forgotten Dust Mountain, and couldn't help but feel awe. Forget the dust mountain is a nameless mountain on the land of Jingzhou, only because of the Benzen Temple on the mountain and become famous, just because there is a holy monk living on it. It is rumored that this holy monk has long since transcended earthly things, cultivated immortal spells, and possessed enviable magical powers.

Because Wang Tienan pointed out that Li Tianran had a problem of demons in his heart, and guided Li Tianran to go to Benzen Temple to seek a solution. Along the way, Li Tianran insisted on cultivating, and indeed vaguely felt that there was a hazy aura in the Danhai that was blocking his operation, and he would often fall into nightmares and couldn't extricate himself, this situation was improved when he inadvertently read the broken book later, and since then he has insisted on reading it several times a day.

But Li Tianran knows that this is a symptom but not a cure after all.

Li Tianran held a mood of studying and decided to enter the Forgotten Dust Mountain to find out. He climbed up the mountain path, his body involuntarily filled with strength. Along the way, he met many pilgrims who had come to pay their vows, and they bowed three times and bowed nine times, and walked together on the mountain road.

This made Li Tianran, who was originally a little apprehensive, suddenly have a reliance in his heart, and felt that there must be a solution to his problem on this mountain.

Li Tianran came to a small stream deep in the mountains and forests, the stream was crystal clear, and the stream made a gurgling sound, like the sound of heaven. There is an old bridge over the creek. The small bridge floated with a faint mist, and it was like a fairyland in the mountains.

Just as Li Tianran wanted to cross the bridge, a voice sounded and stopped him.

"Little friend, please stay".

Li Tianran, looking up, saw a middle-aged Confucian in a light blue robe walking slowly from a distance. His face was relaxed, and his eyes were full of gentleness and wisdom.

"The remnant of the book that Xiaoyou read aloud in the mountains and forests before can still be carried with me."

"What's wrong with you?".

"It's nothing, it's just that I heard the chapters read aloud by Xiaoyou before, there is some meaning, and I am willing to take some things in my hand in exchange for this broken book in Xiaoyou's hand, do you think it is feasible?"

"No change".

"Why don't you see what it is first".

The middle-aged Confucian smiled slightly, his eyes revealing understanding. Instead of getting angry or reproached for this, he appeared more peaceful.

"Since Xiaoyou is holding a book in his hand, how about I also exchange one of my books with you?"

After speaking, the middle-aged Confucian took out a booklet inlaid with gold wire from his arms

"The name of this book is, Nineteen Heavenly Dao, which is the first national player today, created by Xingyi, who is proficient in this technique to deduce the fate of the country and see the number of human lives and reverse the fate, what do you think?"

"No change".

When the middle-aged Confucian saw Li Tianran, he didn't even think about responding directly, and he was a little puzzled

"Xiaoyou really doesn't even think about it?"

"I don't think about it, this is a book given to me by the elders in my family, and although I don't know what it is for, I know that I can't just exchange it with others."

"I see, I see".

"Since you rejected my proposal, then I won't force you, so I wish Xiaoyou can get what you want when you go up the mountain." The middle-aged Confucian said slowly, his voice echoing like a valley. He stretched out his hand and flicked his cuffs gently, and before the words fell, the middle-aged Confucian was like a flower in the mirror, and the moon in the water. Disappeared like a bubble in the dream

Li Tianran was also surprised to see a living person in front of him, and he was also surprised to disappear in front of his eyes for no reason, thinking that this river and lake was really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Not long after Li Tianran left the small bridge, two more figures appeared on the small bridge for no reason, and they were middle-aged Confucian scholars and wine and meat monks.

"Did that book finally come out?".

"It should be, look at the book that the little doll is holding, and you will know that they have already made a move."

"Jianghu, it's always like this".

"Who's to say it's not?

The two of them talked on the bridge, and the faint mist on the creek set off the two as if they were two reflections.

Finally, Li Tianran came to the front of Benzen Temple, and a magnificent temple came into view. Above the temple gate, there is a gold-lettered plaque with three big characters written "Benzen Temple". Li Tianran stepped into the temple and saw that the temple was quiet, the incense and candles were around, and the air was filled with a sacred breath.

He cautiously walked into the innermost Buddha hall, where a huge golden statue of the Buddha was enshrined. Li Tianran gazed at the Buddha statue, as if he could see the compassion and wisdom in the Buddha's eyes.

Just as Li Tianran was falling into meditation, suddenly, a crisp bell rang. He suddenly came back to his senses and saw a young man in a monk's robe coming out of the next room.

"Amitabha, this little friend, has you come to this Zen Temple to seek the Dharma?" said the young monk with a smile at Li Tianran.

Li Tianran hurriedly bowed and said sincerely to the young monk: "Amitabha, disciple Li Tianran, who first set foot on the path of cultivation, suddenly had demons in his heart. Because of the guidance of the masters, the monks of the Wangben Zen Temple pointed out the maze. "

The young monk smiled and nodded, beckoning Li Tianran to sit down.

"It's not difficult to solve the demons, my master is highly respected and has strong mana, and solving the demons is not a piece of cake, but...."

Seeing the young monk's embarrassed face, Li Tianran hurriedly said, "But what's the difficulty?"

Li Tianran's face was innocent, and the young monk suddenly felt that the fish had been hooked

"You see the temple is splendid, but the monk is only me such a one, on weekdays to eat fasting Buddha fragrant oil lamplight, always cost some oil money, the master is out all the year round, the temple left me alone all year round. Don't you know that it's difficult to be a house, firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive, and you have to spend money every day. "

Speaking of excitement, the young monk still managed to squeeze out two tears

Seeing this, Li Tianran also understood, and hurriedly flipped over and over from his body, only to pull out three rusty copper coins from his body and said

"That's all I have, can you see enough?".

The young monk saw Li Tianran flipped for a long time, and only took out three copper coins from his body. Suddenly he didn't even bother to shed tears, put down his sleeves and said

"I've been acting for a long time, and it's worth three copper coins."

Just as the young monk was about to complain, a wine burp suddenly came from the gate, and then the smell of alcohol came to his face. The young monk frowned and looked dissatisfiedly at the door. I saw a wine and meat monk with hair and cultivation and wearing Buddhist beads on his head limping over.

"Separation-worry-free, don't tease him, he really has no money".
