Chapter 202: Jianfeng Temple, the sycamore tree!
"Cold salad!"
Ding Jianlin gritted his teeth and snorted coldly. He was frightened by what Chen Yang said just now, and just wanted to get out of here quickly.
Money or life is more important?
Of course life is more important.
When they go back and report it to the elders in the clan, maybe they can get this thing back, but they don't want to deal with this matter.
When the time comes, whoever you love will come?
At this moment, they were very suspicious that Ding Chengyong knew that the caravan was behind this incident early on, so he just abandoned his job and ran away, leaving the two of them to fight against each other.
The more they thought about it, the more it made sense.
……
——
As expected, rough methods are the most effective.
Yafeng Restaurant gave him the news that that night, Ding Jianlin and Ding Jianhui checked out of the room and left in a panic.
Thinking about it, I should have left Pingqiang Town.
Chen Yang called Liu Henghu and explained the situation.
Naturally, there was a lot of bragging in the middle. The name of this caravan is really useful.
Ma Guotou may be used to take the blame.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanggang was about to drive back to Jiapigou when his cell phone rang again.
When I picked it up and took a look, I was a little surprised.
It was Liu Henghu who called.
"Brother Hu? What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
"I forgot to tell you that in two days, I am going to visit Jianfeng Temple. I want to ask you if you are interested?"
" Jianfeng Temple?"
Chen Yang frowned, "Why do you want to go to Jianfeng Temple?"
"I'm afraid my life is too long." br>
Liu Henghu smiled bitterly. The experience in the Bamian Mountain Underground Palace was still vivid in his mind.
It can be said that it has left a lingering shadow in his heart. He may not dare to go to that place again in his lifetime.
"There was an eminent monk named Jin Ming in Jianfeng Temple who once saved my life. He passed away not long ago, so I wanted to pay my respects..."
"In addition, There is a sycamore tree in Jianfeng Temple. It has been blessed by nature. I have to go and see for myself whether this thing is good or evil and whether it should be kept..."
"Oh, that's it..."
< br>
Chen Yang hesitated.
Liu Henghu said, "I just want to ask you if you are interested in going and taking a look together. It just so happens that we can meet and have a good chat about the plan you made against the Ding family..."
"Okay."
Chen Yang agreed, "About when?"
"The day after tomorrow, let's meet at the foot of Bamian Mountain at ten o'clock the day after tomorrow."< br>
"Okay."
......
Bamianshan?
In the car, Chen Yang hung up the phone and pondered slightly.
To be honest, he didn't want to go to Bamian Mountain so early.
However, Liu Henghu also said that this time he was not going to Bamian Mountain, which was okay.
He Shiwu has not yet been tamed by him. He has no way of knowing the specific situation in the underground palace, so he does not dare to go there rashly.
But if you just go to Jianfeng Temple, then you have no worries.
Grandpa also said that he could find out something about the underground palace by asking him to find Monk Jin Ming.
But I just heard Liu Henghu say that this monk Jin Ming seems to have passed away.
He wasn't surprised either.
After all, counting the time, this monk Jin Ming should be hundreds of years old. It is normal for him to pass away.
Fortunately, there is also a blessed phoenix tree in Jianfeng Temple.
Huang Geshu once recommended Chen Yang to look for it. That sycamore tree might also know something about the situation in the underground palace.
In addition, there is Liu Henghu.
Liu Henghu had been to the underground palace back then, and Chen Yang could just take this opportunity to have a good chat with him.
After hesitating for a while, Chen Yang still told Qinzhou about the matter.
The old guy did not disappoint Chen Yang and said without saying a word that he was going too.
This old guy seems to be more persistent about the Bamian Mountain Palace than he is about Mi Nian Gou.
It seems that this old guy also knows something about the underground palace, and there must be something tempting him in it.
"This old man is still dishonest."
Chen Yang sighed and could only find an opportunity to slowly dig it out of his mouth.
……
——
The next day, at the foot of Bamian Mountain.
Liu Henghu was alone, riding a 125 motorcycle, and a beautiful sliding shovel stopped steadily in front of Chen Yang.
“Brother Tiger, you are so cool.”
Liu Henghu took off his helmet and hung it on the handlebar, “Why are you so cool? I forgot to refuel this morning and almost asked me to put it away. "Bring it up."
"Liu Guotou, nice to meet you!"
Qin Zhou followed the example in the TV series and hugged Liu Henghu in a decent manner.
"This is..."
Liu Henghu looked at Qinzhou and felt a little strange.
Qinzhou quickly introduced himself. Liu Henghu was undoubtedly a celebrity in the mountaineering industry in central Sichuan, but Qinzhou, it could be said, had no reputation at all.
You know me, but I may not know you.
Liu Henghu also hugged him, which was considered acquaintance.
Since he came with Chen Yang, let's just call him a friend.
It’s just that this friend’s eyesight is not very good. He always doesn’t look at people when he talks. It always feels like he is looking down on you, which is not very polite.
Chen Yang looked up and saw that Bamian Mountain was indeed very high.
Especially the main peak is Jianfeng Mountain, which is extremely high, like an inverted awl, reaching straight into the sky.
The vegetation on the mountain is lush, and there is only one path winding up.
Most places are extremely steep and dangerous, which is quite a challenge for ordinary climbers.
That’s it, it’s just the front mountain. The road to the front mountain is officially repaired and is fairly easy to walk. It can lead all the way to the Jianfeng Temple on the top of the mountain.
If you go up the mountain from the back mountain or other directions, you will really suffer.
The location where they are now is a piece of flat land at the foot of the mountain. Not far ahead is the intersection going up the mountain.
There are some cars parked here and there on the flat ground, and on the mountain road, you can also see some people dressed as tourists, climbing up in twos and threes.
Recently, the matter about Jianfeng Temple's red trees has caused some heat on the Internet.
Someone filmed the scene where lightning struck the Jianfeng Temple that day and the thunder baptized the sycamore tree, and posted it online.
Some people question it as special effects, while others think it is official hype. Of course, some people think the video is very real. It is a sycamore tree going through a tribulation, and it is about to become an immortal.
True, a senior Xianxia fan.
Everyone has their own opinions. In addition, an Internet celebrity happened to have been to Jianfeng Temple and came forward to speak out. He said that he had asked for marriage from this sycamore tree, but within two months, they actually met. When it comes to destiny...
Things started to get magical.
The fans of the internet celebrity don’t know whether they are following the trend or playing tricks. Many of them said that they had been to Jianfeng Temple and prayed for the sycamore tree.
Xianxia, suspense, love, all kinds of short stories are well-written, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Many people know that on this inconspicuous Bamian Mountain, there is such an inconspicuous Jianfeng Temple. In this inconspicuous Jianfeng Temple, there is also such a sacred tree.
So, during this period, many people came to climb Bamian Mountain one after another.
Among these people, there are those who simply come for mountain climbing adventure; there are also those who come because of the reputation and want to check in and enjoy the traffic; there are also some who come with a request and want to find psychological comfort.
Of course, the traffic on the Internet is only temporary. When people's excitement has passed, or their attention is attracted by other events, this matter will soon be forgotten.
Perhaps because it is not the weekend, I heard from the owner of the small shop at the foot of the mountain that there were obviously not as many tourists coming to Bamian Mountain today as there were in the past few days.
……
The majestic Bamian Mountain rises and falls like a majestic barrier between heaven and earth. Sunlight shines through the clouds on the peaks, making the entire mountain seem to be rimmed with gold. , eye-catching and dazzling.
A trail runs through the forest cliffs, and everything you see is lush greenery. The surrounding trees are lush and green, swaying with the mountain wind and making tiny sounds, as if nature is whispering.
The rocks are rugged and entangled with ancient vines. Although the road has been repaired, many places are adjacent to cliffs and are still very dangerous. People without courage really dare not climb up.
With Chen Yang and his team's foot strength, an hour would be enough to go up the mountain. However, the mountain road was too narrow, and due to the influence of other tourists, it took them more than two hours to reach Jianfeng Temple.
A small temple.
There are only about twenty halls in the whole temple. The main hall is dedicated to Samantabhadra, and other Bodhisattvas and Buddhas are enshrined in side halls.
The house is very simple, and some parts have obviously collapsed.
The Jianfeng Temple in front of him was very different from the magnificent and magnificent temples in Chen Yang's impression.
It is more like a small temple than a temple.
In the open space outside the temple, vendors dressed as local villagers were selling jelly cold noodles and mineral water... In front of the vermilion temple gate, two monks were guiding scattered tourists into the temple.
Jianfeng Temple, which used to be a cold pot and a cold stove, finally received some incense.
Liu Henghu was obviously a regular visitor. The two monks quickly recognized him and one of them came over.
After Liu Henghu explained his purpose, the monk took the three of them to the backyard.
......
There are only about a dozen monks in the entire Jianfeng Temple, and half of them are temporary.
When they are busy farming, they are villagers at the foot of the mountain, and when they are slack, they go up the mountain to become monks.
After all, no one can avoid daily necessities. Famous temples can rely on the offerings of tourists. However, for small temples like Jianfeng Temple, not a single person has come for half a month in the past. Of course, they can only support themselves. .
Recently, the incense in the temple has become better, and the monks in the temple are also in order. All those who can come back have returned.
The person who received the three people was a monk in his sixties, whose monastic name was Dragon Lantern.
This monk from Jianfeng Temple is a more casual monk. This monk Longdeng has not shaved his hair and still has short hair half an inch long.
Wearing a relatively bright monk's robe, with a few rings of Zen beads hanging around his neck.
In his own words, the outfit he wears is already regarded as a sign of the temple. It was left behind by his master, Monk Jin Ming.
His daily task now is to wear this outfit, hang out from time to time, and take photos with tourists.
A month ago, the old abbot, Monk Jin Ming, passed away, and Baoguo Temple has yet to appoint a new abbot. Therefore, the position of abbot of Jianfeng Temple is currently held by Long Deng.
“When I came to Jianfeng Temple last year, Master Jin Ming was still in good health. I didn’t expect that I hadn’t seen him for only a year...”
In the Zen room, Liu Henghu was sighing.
The people I could see last year cannot be seen this year. Only those involved know that feeling.
"Master passed away in bliss. He was very peaceful when he left. Donor Liu need not worry about it."
Liu Henghu nodded slightly.
Ordinary people can live to be eighty or ninety years old and leave without illness or disaster, which can be considered a happy occasion. This monk Jin Ming lived for more than a hundred years.
There will always be a day like this for people. It is the end point that billions of creatures in the world are all rushing towards together.
"Did Master Jin Ming leave any words before he passed away?" Liu Henghu calmed down and asked.
Long Deng shook his head, "I didn't leave any words behind, but the master left something, saying it was Benefactor Liu, you will understand after seeing it."
"Oh?"< br>
Liu Henghu looked at the dragon lantern in surprise.
Long Deng glanced at Chen Yang and Chen Yang.
The intention is obviously to avoid them.
"Brother Tiger, let's chat first, let's go for a walk in the courtyard."
Chen Yang is not a person with poor eyesight, so he and Qin Zhou left the meditation room immediately, lest everyone Awkward.
He and Liu Henghu have some friendship, but the friendship is not that deep, at least not deep enough for Liu Henghu not to treat him as an outsider.
Outside the Zen room.
“Aren’t you curious about what they are talking about?” Qinzhou asked.
Actually, in the situation just now, he didn't want to leave. With his character, unless the other party rushed, he would have to stay there.
"Why don't you go and listen to the corner?"
"Come on, I'm an old man. If someone finds out, do you still want to lose face?"
"Then it's over? Let's go and take a look at that internet celebrity tree!"
......
——
Go around a corridor and come to the temple Behind, there is an open space surrounded by a two-meter-high earthen wall.
In the open space.
A sycamore tree, more than 20 meters high, stood alone.
The mottled bark is full of traces of time, and every leaf is full of historical context. The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, like an elder who has walked through the long river of time. Sigh softly.
There were about a dozen tourists in the yard. Some were standing under the tree, holding their hands and closing their eyes, praying devoutly, while others were taking photos.
“I’m so annoyed, I’m so annoyed!”
“I can’t bear the pain, and I haven’t slept for several days.”
"Go, go, go away, I'm not a wishing tree..."
As soon as Chen Yang got closer, an old and irritable voice came from his ears.
The leaves were shaking and making a rustling sound.
The ground was shaking slightly.
I’m angry!
It seems that Huang Geshu was right, this sycamore tree does not have a very good temper.
“Hey, look, the leaves are shaking so hard. This tree is really spiritual!”
“Why are they shaking? Is there an earthquake?”
“ Earth...earthquake? "
I don’t know who shouted. Someone took the lead and ran out. When the others saw it, they also ran out regardless of whether it was a real earthquake.
In the blink of an eye, the small courtyard that was bustling with people just now became quiet.
“Phew, I feel comfortable!”
The shaking leaves quickly stopped.
"Huh? Why are there two more?"
The old voice sounded a little confused, and then Chen Yang felt the ground beneath his feet shaking.
The shaking became more and more violent.
It’s this tree.
Its roots sway underground.
Qinzhou's face changed slightly, and he almost thought it was an earthquake.
He was instantly frightened. Normal spiritual plants could not move their bodies, but this sycamore tree could shake its leaves and move its roots.
What does this mean? This shows that this sycamore tree has more than just the climate.
Almost instinctively, Qinzhou wanted to run away.
However, Chen Yang stood firmly where he was, with no intention of leaving.
"Old Wu, stop playing!"
Chen Yang reached out and touched the mottled bark of the sycamore tree. Some places were still a bit scorched. It was obviously from a while ago. Struck by lightning.
"Playing? Who is playing with you? Get lost!"
The sycamore tree then cursed, but the next second, the sycamore tree was stunned again, "Wait, what did you just call me? "
Chen Yang looked up and said, "Mr. Wu, my name is Chen Yang, and I am Huang Geshu. Mr. Huang introduced me here!"
He explained his purpose directly.
Qinzhou next to him saw this scene, and the expression on his face was very exciting.
Did this kid get mad and started chatting with this tree?
Does he think he is a spiritual being?
It can be seen that Chen Yang looked like he was really chatting with the sycamore tree in front of him. For a moment, he actually started to murmur in his heart.
Is it possible that this kid can really communicate with Lingzhi?
Chen Yang ignored Qinzhou's surprise. His attention at the moment was focused on the sycamore tree in front of him.
"Huang Ge? That Huang Ge in Pingqiang Town?"
The voice of the sycamore tree was a little unexpected, "Can you hear me?"
Chen Yang clicked Nodding, "Elder Huang said that you have been friends with each other for a long time. You are a trustworthy and respected friend, and you also have a very high status in the spiritual plant world. I admire Elder Wu very much, so I came here to visit..."
"Huh, he would praise me so much? I'd be grateful to that old guy if he didn't say bad things about me behind my back. I think these words were said by you yourself, right?"
The sycamore tree directly One word to tell.
Chen Yang laughed dryly, "That's not the point. The point is, I brought some gifts to Mr. Wu!"
"Huh?"
"Some time ago, Mr. Wu had to meet It seems that it is not easy to survive the disaster successfully. The feeling of being struck by lightning must be uncomfortable. I see that many places on your body are burnt. It must be very painful!"
"Nonsense, it's necessary! How could it not hurt if lightning penetrates the body? He had resisted several thunderbolts that day.
If it hadn't been for its huge root system and had been prepared to quickly draw away the lightning, it would have been chopped to pieces and turned into a pile of dry firewood.
Wutong's tone was very harsh, as a result of his temper.
Of course Chen Yang didn’t care about it, he smiled in front of him and said, "First of all, congratulations to Mr. Wu for successfully surviving the tribulation. In a few months, he should be able to be reborn and enter the realm of creation..."
"However, in the next few months, Mr. Wu will suffer from this injury!"
"Hmph!"
Wutong snorted softly, "You kid, you talk so much. Didn't you say you brought me a gift? Can you tell the important point!"
It was indeed seriously injured, and the lightning rod Jin Ming installed on it was not serious. It was unprofessional and caused the injury to be much more serious than expected.
Now, after surviving the thunder, its body has quietly undergone some kind of mutation. When this mutation is completed, it will be reborn and enter the realm of creation.
Originally, one month is enough for this kind of change, but the injuries on his body are hindering this change. It is impossible to say how long it will take for this process to be completed.
