The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the surrounding fields are vast.
The earth was pitch dark, as if it had become tired and lazy, about to fall asleep.
Hearing Lu Xiangnan's voice coming from the darkness, everyone was startled at first, and then felt pleasantly surprised. From this, we can be sure that Lu Xiangnan is in this ancient temple, and besides, he should be safe and sound!
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Feng greeted loudly: "Zhuangshi Lu, where are you?"
At this time, a thin figure slowly walked out from behind the Buddha statue. Everyone took a closer look and saw who it was, Lu Xiangnan.
I saw him walking straight in front of everyone, and suddenly said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why did you come in too?"
Xu Feng glanced at the people around him and said with a smile: "We have been waiting outside for a long time, but you didn't come out. We were worried about your safety, so we came in together to take a look."
Lei Zhentian also smiled and said, "Yes, everyone thought you had encountered some trouble. How about it? Did you find anything?"
Lu Xiangnan patted his clothes, smiled, and said slowly: "This is an important place of Buddhism, how can there be any trouble? I just saw no one in the main hall, and I felt very strange. I thought the master might be meditating in the Zen room, but I didn't expect it. I met that crazy monk. When I walked in, I was shocked. Hehe, that crazy monk was so annoying. He actually walked into the master’s meditation room after the master was out and meditated like him!” he said. , showing a wry smile.
Liu Ruyan was a little confused and asked quickly: "What crazy monk?"
Everyone looked at Lu Xiangnan with curious faces. At this moment, the crazy monk's loud voice came from the darkness: "Why don't you leave? What do you want to do here? If you disturb my old man's meditation, I will definitely I can't spare you! You bastards, get out of here quickly!" The voice was dull and sharp, making people upset.
Xu Feng chuckled and said slowly to the man in the darkness: "Master, I will come down the mountain when it gets dark and want to find a place nearby. Seeing such a magnificent temple, I want to come in and visit. Buddhism It’s an important place and I shouldn’t bother to disturb it, but after walking in the mountains for a day, I was tired and hungry, so I wanted to stay in your temple for one night. I hope you won’t blame me for disturbing me!”
Liu Ruyan said quietly: "Master, why don't you show your true body and let us see your master's style? We went through all kinds of hardships all the way down the mountain, just hoping to stay in your temple for one night. This is a barren mountain. If you don’t go to the village shop, I would like to ask you for your understanding if you dare to disturb me!"
Lu Xiangnan bowed his head close to Xu Feng's ear and whispered. Xu Feng nodded frequently and turned around and said to everyone: "Zhuangshi Lu and the presiding master once had a relationship, but the presiding master is not in the temple. We will stay here tonight." One night, I think the master who presided over it will not blame us if he knows what happened today! As for that crazy monk, we don’t have to be afraid of him. He is the younger brother of the master who presided over it. We must not be rude to him. No matter what he says, if he makes a fuss , you can just ignore it.”
As soon as Xu Feng finished speaking, Lu Xiangnan continued: "Now everyone, follow me. Let's go to the dining room and have a look. If we can find some food, we can make do with it first, and then go to the wing to rest!"
When they heard that they could find something to eat, everyone felt even more hungry and couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the small door behind the Buddha statue. He stood there quietly and looked at everyone. Everyone turned their heads and looked over, and they couldn't help being startled.
This man was six feet tall, wearing a bright red cassock, and his round bald head shone like oil. There was no expression on his face, he just looked at everyone quietly, looking really foolish.
When everyone was surprised, Monk Muna suddenly came over, counting Buddhist beads in his hand, and shouted: "Who are you? Why don't you leave? What are you doing here? Are you insisting? Will you leave only after I issue an order to expel you? Humph!" He was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, as if someone owed him thirty thousand taels of silver.
When everyone saw the crazy monk approaching, they couldn't help but be on guard. Everyone clenched the weapons in their hands. The crazy monk had a ferocious look on his face and his words were not friendly. Everyone was afraid that he would do something drastic. Come, everyone looks at him intently.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Xiangnan stepped in front of the crazy monk, raised his fists and saluted him, and said, "This must be Master Wuyin, right?"
The crazy monk showed a stern look on his face and said coldly: "Who are you? How do you know my Dharma name? Without my permission, you have trespassed into the important place of Buddhism and disturbed my quiet practice. I will punish you!"
Lu Xiangnan smiled lightly and said: "Master, please don't be angry. We were coming down the mountain from the Yellow Ox Ancient Road. Seeing that it was getting late, we wanted to find a place to stay. We didn't mean to disturb you. I hope Master Wuyin won't blame us!" He walked a few steps, then stopped, looked at the crazy monk calmly, and continued, "To be honest, I have some friendship with Master Wutian, the abbot of your temple. I wanted to visit him, but I couldn't meet him. It’s just that you don’t recognize Master Wuyin, but you don’t know why Master Wutian is not in the temple?”
Master Wuyin counted the beads in his hand, glanced at him sideways, and said faintly: "Oh, Master Wutian, that's my senior brother. How did you recognize my senior brother? My senior brother went down the mountain two months ago. I see Donor, please come back!" After saying that, a very strange look appeared on his face, he glanced at everyone, then turned his back and said no more words.
Everyone saw that Master Wuyin was very unreasonable, and they were very angry. However, this was their territory, and it was not convenient for them to have random attacks, so they had to endure the nameless fire.
Although Lu Xiangnan knew that this crazy monk had an eccentric personality and often talked crazy, it was not surprising that he had spoken rudely just now. He looked back at everyone and nodded, signaling with his eyes that everyone should be calm.
He cleared his throat and then said slowly: "I'm just here for the first time. I'm really presumptuous. I hope you won't lose your temper. It's getting late now and I can't find an inn in this barren mountain. So I want to stay in your temple." I'll stay here for one night, and I'll leave quickly tomorrow morning. I hope you don't misunderstand me! I wonder if you can make it easier for me!"
The crazy monk was still counting the beads and did not turn around. He snorted coldly and said, "This temple has already established rules. Without the abbot's permission, no one can keep strangers overnight without permission. I think you'd better leave as soon as possible. I really can't help you! Please do whatever you want! Amitabha!" His words seemed clearer now, and he was not as cold and unreasonable as before. Such strange behavior is really unpredictable.
But he was so stubborn, unkind, and inevitably made people resentful. Everyone looked at each other in confusion and didn't know what to do for a while!
