Mr. Cat

Louis raised his head and looked at where Lu Wu was looking.

He suddenly heard the sound of wind chimes, hidden in the pattering rain, if there was nothing, it was hard to catch.Louis calmed down and carefully discerned the sound brought by the wind.

The wind chimes are crisp and gradually clear, crisp and pleasant.It pierced the rain curtain and came straight to his ears, wave after wave, like undulating waves, intermittent.Lu Wu stepped forward with four paws, ran towards the Daxiong Palace, stepped over the quaint incense burner, stepped on the bloody water, and stepped into the majestic palace.

The Buddha statue is not as luxurious as imagined, it is just a very ordinary clay statue of Buddha, at most affixed with some gold leaf, it is quite shocking in terms of size, it is a full five meters high, quite towering posture.Only the nine lotus caissons on the ceiling can glimpse the nobility of the palace.The colorful banners hanging in the hall were swayed by the wind, more than a dozen monks fell in disorder in the hall, old and young, all of them were killed by one blow, and the blood pooled into pools on the ground, muddy.

In front of the Buddha statue stood a snow-white figure, dressed in plain white monk robes, with half-short but not long hair, with smooth and neat tails, which should have been cut off by a knife or sword.The monk's robe was wide, and the sleeves and waist were empty, which made the figure stand erect, as if it would collapse when the wind blows.

The white-clothed monk held a bright long sword in his hand, and his robes were plain white, not stained with dust, which was incompatible with this bloody Buddhist temple.

Louis heard a very light sigh, coming from in front of the Buddha statue, the monk's sleeves were shaking, and the clear and pleasant wind chimes echoed in the hall.Louis was startled, only to find that he was holding a wind chime in his hand.Only one corner of the wind chime was exposed, and the whole picture could not be seen clearly. It was about the size of a palm, and the color was beautiful gilt, with a circle of Sanskrit engraved on the edge.

It is not accurate to say that it is a wind chime, it should be a Buddha bell.

"Could he be..." Louis murmured.

Lu Wu's paw moved: "He is the one who slaughtered the monks."

As soon as they finished speaking, the monk in white turned around slowly, revealing a handsome and flamboyant face.

Louis claimed to have seen many beauties, but seeing the face of this person in front of him, he still had to admit that there is a sky beyond the sky, and there are people beyond people.

It was a handsome monk, his eyebrows were like flying feathers, his eyes were like glass, and a little red mole at the end of his eyes was as bright as cinnabar.He pursed his lips tightly, his expression was quite indifferent, but his eyes were extremely compassionate.It is not his appearance that catches people's eyes, but his unique temperament, which makes people unforgettable.

The monk in white dragged his long sword and walked slowly to the gate of the temple, looking at the ancient Buddhist temple in the heavy rain without sadness or joy.

Both Louis and Lu Wu turned their heads to look, and there was also a person coming from the steps of the main hall, with a shiny forehead, holding a magic pestle, and a tall figure. Louis guessed that he should also be a monk in the temple, and he might not be of a high status. high.

Sure enough, the bald monk said: "Shan Shi, why do you want to kill us?"

The white-clothed monk named Shan Shi didn't speak, but just looked at him quietly.

The rain separated them. One of the two monks was on the top of the stairs, the other was below the stairs, but their auras were equal, and neither of them would give in.

After a long time, Shan Shi said: "Brother, I offended you."

The Buddha bell rang again, but at this moment it was like a reminder.The long sword in Shan San's hand was like a frightened sword, and it rushed towards the bald monk's throat, but the monk seemed to have lost his soul, and he didn't move at all, allowing Shan San's long sword to wipe his neck.

It seems that it is an instant, and it seems that it is an eternity, Shan Shi looked down at the monk who fell to the ground, and said in a low voice: "Brother, in the next life, find a good family."

There was a chill in Louis's neck, relying on the illusion of memories, he grabbed a bunch of white hair on Lu Wu's body, and whispered: "If you say kill, kill."

After killing, he also said that he would vote for a good family in the next life. Why did he taste something wrong? It's hypocritical to greet the chicken with the weasel.But looking at the appearance of the Sugata Monk, he seemed quite sad again.

Lu Wu said, "He cried."

It was only then that Louis realized that a tear had slipped down Susa's cheek, he was still expressionless, but the tears gushed out one after another, leaving mottled tear stains on his face.The rain gradually became lighter and turned into a drizzle, and Shan San put the Buddha bell in his arms into his arms.

Taking advantage of his movements, Louis finally saw the true face of the Buddha bell. The Buddha bell has hollow branches wrapped with silk, and there are floating clouds in relief, which are different from ordinary Buddha bells.This Buddha bell doesn't seem to have anything to do with Buddha, but more like an ordinary handicraft.

"I always think I've seen the decorations on the Buddha bell before." Louis said in his heart.

Lu Wu carried him on his back, not far or near behind Shan Shi, watching Shan Zi put the corpses one by one on the open space in front of the main hall.While Susa was doing these things, tears kept flowing. He closed his eyes for his brothers and sisters, picked up the beads one by one, and put them in their hands.

The monks in red or white clothes lay on the ground with peaceful faces, as if in a dream.

Shan Shi stared blankly at these monks, held the sword in one hand behind his back, put the other hand in front of his chest, and recited the scriptures.

The smell of blood was overwhelming in front of the main hall, and the unique fresh smell after the rain could not suppress the smell of blood.

"I came from a long time ago, and I was guided by the Buddha, and I gained incredible power and great wisdom."

"I will do my best in the future, and I will not count kalpas. For the sinful and suffering sentient beings of the six realms, I will set up a wide range of expedient methods to liberate them, and I will become a Buddha myself."

As the deep chanting sound gradually dispersed, Louis vaguely saw clusters of light appearing from the chests of the monks, floating tremblingly towards the sky, just like thousands of bright lights.Shan Sui was still reciting Buddhist scriptures, tears gushed out in big drops, mixed with the rain, and wet his snow-white sleeves.

Those rays of light were originally dim, mixed with filth, but after being washed away by the Buddhist scriptures over and over again, they became bright and dazzling again, and the separated "dust" fell back on the monks.

After an unknown amount of time, Shan San finally put down the Buddha bell, stared blankly at the fellow disciple he personally killed, wondering what he was thinking.

Louis looked at it for a long time, and finally realized: "Then those bones belong to these monks?"

Lu Wu didn't say much, just hummed briefly.

The surroundings twisted again, and Shan San's face became blurred. Lu Wu said in a deep voice, "Hold on to me." His four claws rolled up a hurricane again, and he flew to a high place. With the deafening rumbling sound, Louis endured the strong wind and looked down, only to find that this majestic ancient Buddhist temple was gradually collapsing.

Beams and columns fell, dust and smoke rose everywhere, and the originally gorgeous red walls and glazed tiles were submerged in the rain, and became ruins in an instant.

"The illusion is about to collapse, we have to go back."

"it is good."

The strong wind swept in and covered the ruins. Louis closed his eyes, listened to the whistling wind, and left the illusion of thousands of years ago with Lu Wu.

Sitting in his driver's seat again, Louis still couldn't recover his senses until the familiar horn sound came from his ear, and his consciousness came back.Fortunately, Louis has always been good at adjusting his mood, and he quickly returned to his usual calm appearance.He glanced at the fat gray cat sleeping soundly on the passenger seat, let out a long breath, turned the steering wheel, and drove away from the bridge.

When I got home, it was already pouring rain outside.Louis stuffed Lu Wu into the bed, and went to take a shower by himself.While he was taking a bath, he kept thinking about the monk in white.

Suga.

He only remembered the pronunciation, but he didn't know how to write these two characters.He himself didn't know much about Buddhism, and these two words were a bit of a mouthful, but somehow they fit the appearance and temperament of the monk in white.

After taking a shower, Louis came out with a wet body, and was surprised to find Lu Wu sitting on the wine cabinet, staring at him without blinking.

Louis saw the gray raccoon cat reflected in his eyes, but what appeared in his heart was the beautiful and majestic white tiger.

"You know Shan Shi." Lu Wu said.

Louis froze for a moment, and denied it flatly: "Impossible, I don't know the monk from thousands of years ago."

Lu Wu was helpless: "I mean, among the people you know, there are reincarnations of Sugata."

After hearing this, Louis was even more surprised: "Why are you so sure?"

Lu Wudao: "The bone claws that attacked you in the bamboo forest last time felt the breath of Susa from you. Do you still remember the sutra that Suzaku recited?"

"Remember," Louis said, and read the scriptures over again.

"I don't know what this scripture is, but I can roughly guess the meaning of the scripture." Lu Wu jumped off the wine cabinet, climbed onto Louis's shoulder along with Louis's bathrobe, and said in his ear, "Go, go Check, there is also the "Nine Peaks" you mentioned."

Lu Yi was abducted by Lu Wu to the study in such a daze, and took down the book "Jiufeng Zhi" that had never been opened.

"Jiu Feng Zhi" has nine volumes, and I don't know if the person in charge of compiling it back then had obsessive-compulsive disorder. The name reflects.

"Find out how many ancient temples there are in Guangdu thousands of years ago?" Lu Wu stared at the spine of the book and told Louis the key points.

The records in "Jiufeng Zhi" include not only architectural changes, but also astronomy, geography, strange people and strange events, which can be described as all-encompassing.Fortunately, the content was clearly listed in the catalogue, so Louis turned to the building part without any effort, and found out the names of temples 1000 years ago one by one, spanning about 400 years.

"Excluding the temples on the mountain, there are Huangzhu Temple, Qingliang Temple, Nanxi Temple, and Fengqi Temple in Guangdu City alone." The book records the buildings of Guangdu thousands of years ago in black and white, and the history starts from the pages of the book. As the air flowed past quietly, Louis suddenly trembled all over, thinking of the war-torn days he had spent in the past hundred years, he sighed in his heart.

Lu Wu said: "Is there a clear record of the location?"

"No." Louis shook his head, he turned a few pages, read the text on it one by one, and then said it again firmly, "It's really not."

"Most of them simply say that it is on the bank of the bamboo forest, on the outskirts of Nanxi, and Fengqi Temple is mentioned a little more." Louis read all the records about the temple, quite surprised, "It turns out that Fengqi River is because of Fengqi Temple. The Qi Temple got its name."

Fengqi Temple was built more than 300 years ago. It is a well-known temple in the local area. It is full of incense and magnificent. At that time, there was a huge sycamore tree in the temple, which was said to have a lifespan of a thousand years.There used to be a phoenix perched on a plane tree, and many pilgrims came here admiringly. In the next hundred years, the scale of the temple became larger and larger, and only then did the Fengqi Temple in the true sense come into existence.
