no king

Nodded, said yes.

Tong Run led the horse, moved closer to his highness and said, "My lord, where are you staying tonight?"

"Qingfeng Inn, I heard that the steamed bream there is very good." Sima Huai thought for a while.

"Okay, son." Tong Run said with a grin.

Sima Huai cast a look of hatred, but he didn't care at all.In front of His Royal Highness, face is compared with delicious food, can face be eaten?

When they arrived at Qingfeng Inn, the two asked for two upper rooms and sat down in the lobby on the second floor by the window.I ordered a pot of clear tea and a few delicate side dishes, among which there was naturally the steamed bream that Tong Run coveted.

After eating and drinking, Sima Huai sipped his tea and quietly looked out of the brightly lit window.Tong Run sat across from her, staring at the exquisite snacks on the table, frowning, not knowing where to start.

"Young master, why did the Taoist priest ask you to come to Hongyun Temple? He also has a lot of little Taoist priests in Tianchangguan, so he can just find someone to see him off." Tong Run asked with a snack in his mouth.At the same time, he reached out his hand to touch the letter in his cuff that was sent by Mr. Chen Gang this morning.

"I don't know." The old man acted differently from ordinary people, and she didn't know why, and she also felt a little weird in her heart. After thinking about it, she still had no answer, so she suppressed the thought in her heart.

Sima Huai saw that Tong Run was eating deliciously, so he also pinched a piece of dim sum and tasted it, yes.tasty.

After eating and drinking, the two went to rest.

Silent all night.

3.

Hongyun Temple is located on Jingangya Mountain in the outskirts of Luozhou and was built in the former dynasty.In the last years of the former dynasty, there were endless wars, and Hongyun Temple was affected by the flames of war, and it was almost destroyed. In the period of Wei Wudi, the founder of the Great Wei Dynasty (that is, the period of Sima Huai's grandfather), Hongyun Temple was rebuilt, so that Hongyun Temple could be preserved. down.

Sima Huai looked at the bustling crowd in front of the temple gate, feeling a little dizzy, and said decisively to Tong Run, "Go through the back door."

"Back door?" Tong Run looked at Sima Huai in a daze.

Sima Huai said nothing, just handed the reins to Tong Run, and strode towards a secret path.

Hongyun Temple occupies an entire mountain, with a very wide area. Ordinary pilgrims usually enter from the main entrance, and the road to enter the mountain is due to the terrain. There are very few pilgrims who come up the mountain to see the scenery, and Sima Huai just knows this The back door of Yun Temple is located, but the road is rough and difficult. After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at the back door.

The back door is located in a dense forest, overgrown with weeds, and the sound of running water is endless. A few hundred meters from the back door is a waterfall, where some ascetic monks practice on weekdays.

The two looked around, but there was no one there, and thought of the bustling crowd in front of the temple, it should be that the Buddhist ceremony was being held in the temple.

Tong Run led the two horses, tied the reins carefully to the tree, ran to the back door, pushed the door with his hand, and said, "Master, the door is locked, there should be no one there."

The red paint on the door is a little peeling off, and the door bolt is also a little rusty, it should be that it hasn't been opened for a long time.

Sima Huai pointed to the high courtyard wall outside the temple and said, "Over the wall."

"Your Highness, please take me with you." Tong Run scratched his head in embarrassment, looking at the high wall, he might not be able to support the lightness kung fu if his internal strength was half-strength.

"······" Sima Huai also knew that his internal strength was insufficient, so he carried Tong Run's back collar to perform light kung fu, and easily climbed over the wall.

As soon as they landed, they saw a young monk with red lips and white teeth clasping his hands together, chanting the Buddha's name, and looking at them with a smile.

"Amitabha."

"Ah!" Tong Run saw a figure before he landed on the ground, and almost sat on the ground with a shiver.

Sima Huai couldn't help but secretly rolled his eyes at Tong Run. Is this what you said no one?

Tong Run covered his butt and pouted his mouth, looking at His Highness with innocent eyes. I didn't know that there could be a monk hiding behind the door, His Highness, innocent.

The three of them stood in the courtyard, staring at each other.

In the end, it was the young monk who broke the weird atmosphere: "The two benefactors, did Master Chen Gang let the two come?"

Sima Huai nodded while testing the monk's details.Just now, I didn't feel the monk's existence outside the back door at all. After some probing, I found that the monk's internal strength was not inferior to my own, so I immediately became wary.

"Master asked the poor monk to wait here, and the two benefactors please follow me." The monk walked towards the temple after speaking.The two followed.

"Master? But Master Chongjue?" Sima Huai said.

"Exactly."

Hearing the answer, my heart was relieved, Master Chongjue should know that she has come here.

"What is the name of the mage?"

"The poor monk has no dharma title."

Monk Chong Wu took Sima Huai to the door of the meditation room, chanted the Buddha's name, and left.

Tong Run took out the letter, handed it to Sima Huai, and obediently stood at the door of the meditation room and waited.

Sima Huai pushed the door open with the letter and entered.

Master Chongjue sat on the futon and chanted sutras. Sima Huai was not polite, sitting on a futon opposite Master Chongjue, waiting quietly.

The living room was filled with the fragrance of Buddha, and the crisp birdsong came from outside the window. Hearing the voice of Master Chongjue chanting, Sima Huai felt a little thirsty. He took the kettle on the low table and poured a glass of water to drink. The sweetness gradually calmed down her restless heart.

Master Chongjue finished his chanting and proclaimed the Buddha's name, "Amitabha."

Sima Huai slowly opened his eyes, and the evil spirit on his body gradually dissipated, giving off a gentle feeling.

"Master Chongjue."

"Sima Benefactor feels better." Master Chongjue is already in his seventies, with a rosy face, clear eyes, every move contains Buddha nature, and his whole person has a warm aura, like the warm sun in winter.

"Thank you, master." After finishing speaking, Sima Huai handed Chen Gang's letter to Master Chongjue.

Master Chongjue took it and opened it.Then there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.

"Benefactor Sima, stay overnight at Hongyun Temple today."

Sima Huai was taken aback, and replied, "That's fine."

Sima walked out of the meditation room with a strange mood, and thought about it, but he had no idea, he just didn't want to think about it.

Following Chong Wu, the two came to live in a secluded courtyard.

Tong Run first went to the back door to lead the horse to the stable, and then went to the firewood room to boil some hot water for Sima Huai to bathe and clean himself.

After bathing, go to the Buddhist hall to pay homage to the Buddha.

After eating the vegetarian meal, Sima Huai took a nap in the house, it was Shen time.

He only heard a sound coming from the window, Sima Huai opened it and saw that it was his own black eagle "Ji Feng", which was knocking on the window sill dissatisfied.

The sharp golden pupils suddenly became pitiful the moment they saw their master.

Sima Huai laughed lightly.This guy is hungry.

Jifeng spread his wings and stood firmly on her right shoulder, rubbing his small head against Sima Huai's ear.

This guy has been extremely clingy since he was a child. Except for hunting and spreading news occasionally, he never leaves Sima Huai's range of [-] meters at other times.Moreover, the mountain where Hongyun Temple is located is extremely rich in products, and Jifeng is a little eager to move when he sees so many delicacies.He had to go hunting with Sima Huai.

Sima Huai touched its feathers, and Ji Feng rubbed against her hand, making a low cooing sound.

"Okay." Sima Huai couldn't bear to refuse when he saw its acting like a baby.What's more, when I was in Suzhou, I often accompanied it to hunt.

Sima Huai changed into an indigo blue shirt, carefully wore the Jinglin knife on his waist, and arranged the necessary items for the field to bring with him.Jifeng stood excitedly on her right shoulder, looking around.

Tong Run, who had just woken up, still had some confusion in his eyes. After he rubbed his eyes and saw that His Royal Highness was fully prepared, he knew that Jifeng was going to pester him to hunt again.

Seeing Tong Run's lack of interest, Sima Huai said, "Stay here and feed the horse."

"Your Highness..." Tong Run looked as if he wanted to follow.

"Only go to the back mountain. Stay to feed the horses." Si She threw down a word, and with luck, she leaped away.

Tong Run yawned, looked at the black spots going away outside the door, and then nodded to the "black spots" hidden in the dark. First, he went to the stables to feed the horses, and fell asleep again after returning to the house.It feels good to sleep well.

Although Jingangya Mountain belongs to Hongyun Temple, there are still a few scattered families living here, and the scenery on the mountain is really good.The pilgrims of Hongyun Temple will also go up to the mountain to recite poems and see the scenery.But the road is difficult and there are not many people.

Sima Huai walked in the mountains, but not on the roads that had been reclaimed, she used lightness kung fu to shuttle between the trees from time to time.

Shen Shi was still a while away from sunset, and met a few groups of people on the road, but she was in the dark, and those people without martial arts would not be able to spot her.One of the waves encountered was a few women with a few followers.Sima Huai paid more attention and found nothing wrong.Go straight to the depths of the forest.

Sima Huai accompanied Jifeng to hunt, and he was in a great mood. He hadn't felt so relaxed like these two days for a long time.When Jifeng ate the two rabbits, one person and one eagle walked to the top of the mountain.

I once heard people say that the sunrise and sunset on Jingangya Mountain in Hongyun Temple are extremely beautiful. I didn’t see it as a sunrise in the early days, so I have to watch the sunset to make this trip worthwhile.

The altitude of Jingangya Mountain is not high, but the terrain is difficult. When I reached the top of the mountain, there were no traces of those few groups of people, and she was the only one. Those people must have gone down the mountain because it was getting dark.It suits her so well.

Sima Huai sat cross-legged on the boulder on the top of the mountain, Jifeng stood on her lap, one person and one eagle were bathing in the evening wind on the top of the mountain, enjoying the moment of tranquility.

Although the sunset is beautiful, it is fleeting.

After sitting for less than a stick of incense, the sun was completely hidden under the mountains and dense forests.

Seeing that it was getting late, Sima Huai walked down the mountain.As she was taking the shortcut back, she heard a muffled grunt from a woman, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps.

Keen intuition told Sima Huai that these voices were tricky.
