    Chapter 62 Subpoena

    "Are you leaving too?" Xiao Yuesheng gently put in the bamboo chopsticks and wiped the corners of his mouth.

    "You want to leave" He suddenly smiled, "then go -!" With a faint smile on his face, he glanced coldly at her elegant face and stopped looking at her.

    "" Cheng Ying originally wanted to say a few words of gratitude for taking care of her, but when she met his cold gaze that was a bit lonely and desolate, she could no longer say a word.

    During this breakfast, Xiao Yuesheng kept a faint smile on his face, but did not say another word.

    The rest of the people did not speak and just ate in silence. In the roofless hall, amid the faint aroma, there was an extremely depressing atmosphere. Even when picking up food, people moved lightly to avoid making any noise.

    It¡¯s just that the worry in Wanyanping¡¯s eyes is getting heavier and heavier, her eyebrows are lightly furrowed, and her face is full of worry, and her delicate face becomes more and more charming.

    She has noticed that something is getting more and more wrong with her husband, and his mood swings are too high, which is really abnormal.

    In the past, he had always had a calm and unfazed personality, keeping everything out of his mind. Even if he got angry or lost his temper, it always felt like he was joking and not really angry. His heart was still peaceful.  And harmonious.

    But this time, she could feel his mood changes while eating, and his heart was fluctuating.  My husband once said that those who practice Taoism, to the end, only cultivate their hearts. But this time, his Taoist heart is not as indestructible as before.

    Pudu Temple in Lin'an is located on the top of Tianmu Mountain. Although it is a secluded place, it is famous. The abbot, Master Zhuming, is a famous moral monk who is admired by everyone.

    It¡¯s just that Pudu Temple is located at the top of Tianmu, and the mountain road is rugged and difficult to navigate. Ordinary people can only look at it with excitement and sigh, and can only look far away.

    Therefore, although Pudu Temple is well-known outside, it still remains quiet and quiet. It is actually a quiet place to hide from the world.

    Xiao Yuesheng¡¯s acquaintance with Master Zhu Ming was normal, but he was visiting Lin¡¯an City when he was bored. He happened to hear that the abbot of Pudu Temple was an eminent monk, and he was good at playing, playing, chess, calligraphy and painting. He was truly an unparalleled talent.

    Out of curiosity, Xiao Yuesheng visited Pudu Temple and played chess to make friends, thus forming close friends from outside the country.

    This is not the first time he has visited Pudu Temple, since it can be reached in an instant.

    The world-famous Pudu Temple is just a small temple. It is said that the mountain is not famous, but there are immortals. There are no less than a hundred temples of this size in Lin'an within a hundred miles.

    At the top of Tianmu, under several towering boulders, the temple stands leaning on the situation.

    There is a main hall, and an imitation hall on the left and right. The east and west wings are the Zen room and the place for practice. It can be said that it is so simple that it is destructive.

    ??????? Bamboos are planted in front of the temple and green pine trees are planted in the back. Mountain springs come from huge rocks and flow down around the temple.

    Xiao Yuesheng stood in front of the temple and looked down from a distance. The sky was clear, the forests were lush, the water was clear and the pond was clear. It made his heart feel relaxed, and he felt like he was swallowing heaven and earth.

    Not long after Xiao Yuesheng wandered around, two monks, one old and one young, walked out of the open temple door, one behind the other.

    The former is tall and tall, tall and high-spirited, with a shining head, white beard and eyebrows, two long eyebrows hanging down to the corners of his eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth. He is dressed in a purple gold cassock and looks luxurious and solemn, making people admire him.  .  The latter was dressed in a gray cloth monk's robe, with a tall figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger-like head, and a sense of naivety and childishness.

    The old monk fluttered out of the temple door, holding a rosewood Buddha bead, and smiled kindly: "When the birds chirped happily in the forest in the early morning, I knew that there must be a distinguished guest coming, but Amitabha, it is layman Xiao who is here!"

    Xiao Yuesheng turned around, his green shirt flowing, he bowed his hands and said with a smile: "Master invited me, how could Xiao not come?!"

    The old monk chuckled and invited Xiao Yuesheng inside to serve tea in the main hall.

    In the main hall, there is a statue of Buddha Tathagata, four or five people tall, solemn and solemn. There is an incense burner in front of him, with three and a half pillars burning incense. There is a faint scent of sandalwood in the hall.

    A short sandalwood table was placed in front of the Buddha statue. Master Zhu Ming and Xiao Yuesheng sat opposite each other. The table was fully equipped with tea-making equipment.

    "We haven't seen each other for a year, and Ranqing has grown a lot, and he has become an adult!" Xiao Yuesheng sat cross-legged on the soft futon, looked at the little monk who was helping him make tea, and smiled at Master Zhuming.

    The young monk smiled innocently at him when he heard the words. Without stopping, the rolling spring water rushed from the purple clay pot into the green glazed tea cup. The fragrance suddenly rose up, strands and strands, continuously, dispersing the sandalwood in the temple.  Nothing left.

    Master Zhu Ming looked at the disciple making tea lovingly and smiled kindly.

    "Good tea!" Xiao Yuesheng took a breath and praised.

    "This is the burning passion climbing up the rock behind the temple in early spring.I picked it and kept it until now to be eaten when the layman comes.  "Master Zhu Ming glanced at Ranqing, with a smile on his face and a calm and calm voice.

    He picked up the tea cup, brushed the long beard on his lips, took a sip, and felt the fragrance from his mouth to his belly.

    Xiao Yuesheng glanced at Ranqing, smiled, and savored it carefully like Master Zhuming.

    For a moment, there was silence in the main hall, both of them were concentrating on tasting the Qingling tea at the top of the Celestial Eye.

    Ranqing, on the other hand, looked calm and focused. He pressed his palms on the body of the purple sand pot to keep the spring water boiling. The hot steam rushed up and down the lid. The glass dragon engraved on the lid was like a dragon flying with its eyes open.

    There was no stove or charcoal on the table, but he pressed both hands on the clay pot and used his inner strength to boil the spring water in it to make tea.

    "Master, why did you put on the purple and gold cassock today? It's not just to welcome Xiao, is it?"

    After finishing the cup of tea, Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the purple gold cassock worn by Master Zhu Ming and asked with a teasing tone.

    The purple gold cassock is a gift from the emperor. It is extremely noble. Master Zhu Ming regards it as a worn-out garment. He almost never shows it to others, but it is very unusual to wear it on him today.

    Master Zhu Ming glanced at his cassock and smiled: "Yesterday, my cassock was pecked by a white crane and disappeared. Today I will bring this cassock to wrap myself around."

    When Xiao Yuesheng heard the words, he laughed loudly, and the clear voice went up to the sky, echoing endlessly on Tianmu Mountain.

    The two of them sipped tea carefully and talked casually about Zen. After talking for a while, they started to play chess.

    Xiao Yuesheng is very interested in Buddhist teachings and is impressed by its breadth and depth. With his magical powers and wisdom, he is naturally far superior to ordinary people.

    Master Zhu Ming is not someone who likes to talk about Zen and Buddhism. For him, cultivating Buddhism means cultivating the mind. In order to make oneself more clear, what is the benefit of doing nothing and cultivating the mind all day long?  What he likes is music, chess, calligraphy and painting!

    Qinqi calligraphy and painting are all refined, and Master Candle is more refined, which is one of the chess skills.

    And Xiao Yuesheng is also proficient in these four arts. It is a matter of course for the two of them to become close friends.

    The other three are all arts for cultivating one's moral character, and only chess can be used for competition.

    The two of them are on par with each other in terms of level, and it is difficult to tell them apart. They feel like they have met their opponents. Every year, Master Zhuming invites Xiao Yuesheng to his Pudu Temple to compete in a few games.

    The most important thing Xiao Yuesheng lacks is time, so naturally he can¡¯t ask for it. Moreover, in this quiet place, eating clouds and drinking dew is a special kind of fun.

    The chessboard is located next to the green pine forest behind Pudu Temple.

    This pine forest has Pudu Temple in the south and towering rock peaks in the north. There are abyss on both sides. The pine forest is located in the sky. In fact, the Pudu Temple itself is a flying rock that is half in the sky.

    The location of the chessboard is to the east of the pine forest. Looking down, you can see the abyss. Looking straight up, you can see all the mountains and forests.

    The cold wind was completely rejected by Tianyan at the north end. The pine forest here was actually calm. The breeze was blowing and the green pines were swaying lightly, but the sound of the pine waves could not be heard.

    Ranqing walked in front carrying a wooden box, her steps were steady and her arms were swinging in a very harmonious and natural way.

    There is no road in the pine forest, so Ranqing just walks in the general direction, looking for gaps. During this period, rabbits, mink, and white deer are leisurely and contented, without panic. There are even white cranes dancing lightly in the forest, their postures are elegant and comfortable, but  He didn't even look at the three of them.

    "Master, the things in this forest are blessed with great blessings. Listening to the pure sounds in the temple quietly here, I guess your temperament is influenced by Buddhism and your spiritual wisdom is greatly expanded."

    Xiao Yuesheng looked at these animals that turned a blind eye to them. They were moving or still, and their violent nature was greatly reduced. They all had a peaceful atmosphere, and he felt quite fond of them.

    Master Zhu Ming caressed his white beard and smiled slightly, "Everything here is infiltrated by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. There is a spirituality in nature, but it is not the fault of Lao Na."

    Ranqing was walking faster and faster ahead, and the forest became sparser and sparse. The three of them stepped on the pine needles and soon came under a few pine trees with canopies reaching to the sky and entwined branches.

    A white crane is standing on the stone table under the tree, standing on one leg, with its long neck bent backwards, its slender beak gently combing its feathers, which are as white as snow.

    Ranqing carried the wooden box and went straight to the stone table. He placed the wooden box on it and placed it under the claws of the white crane.

    The white crane glanced at the three of them, put down its other leg, stretched its long wings, and rose gracefully, with a clear chirp, soaring into the sky.

    A gust of breeze blew up, and the monk's robes fluttered.

    He wiped his white palms on the stone table, and the dead branches and leaves fell one after another. After another wipe, the moss on the table had disappeared.

    On the stone table, there are criss-crossed scratches. The vertical and horizontal marks are of different depths, but they are all round and straight, without any twists and turns.??.

    This was originally drawn by Master Zhu Ming and Xiao Yuesheng. The horizontal line was drawn by Master Zhu Ming, and the vertical line was naturally carved by Xiao Yuesheng.

    Every time when Ranqing's practice felt boring and his mind was slack, or when he encountered a bottleneck and felt powerless and confused, he would come to the stone table and look at the vertical and horizontal lines on the table, and he would feel deeply ashamed.  , courage suddenly arises.

    Then he lightly touched the two stone piers, making them as smooth as a mirror.

    "Jushi Xiao, Master." He bowed, indicating that he was ready.

    At this time, gusts of light wind came from the void, bringing with it a biting chill. Several green pines that covered the sky also swayed slightly with the wind.

    Xiao Yuesheng stood in the wind, looked at the void, and then looked down at the vast mountains at his feet. He couldn't help but let out a long whistle. The whistle was like thunder from the sky, rumbling and rolling, echoing in the mountains.

    "HahaMaster, every time I stand here, Xiao always has the urge to reach into the sky."

    After the roar, Xiao Yuesheng felt great and couldn't help but smile and said to Master Zhu Ming who was smiling slightly at his side.

    "Xiao Jushi, you are unwilling to be lonely!" Master Zhu Ming clasped his palms together and smiled peacefully.

    Xiao Yuesheng shook his head slightly, but smiled and said nothing. He turned around and extended his hand to invite Master Zhu Ming to take a seat.

    "Master, you can be said to be the universal enlightenment of the Buddha. With your letters, I have invited many famous scholars to give lectures in my villa in the past year."

    Xiao Yuesheng held the white jade chess piece and laughed softly, with a relaxed and happy expression.

    "It's good, it's good. Fame and wealth are like clouds of smoke." Master Zhu Ming said it was good, but his eyes were fixed on the chessboard, frowning in thought.

    "Ruanqing, go ahead and do your business. Your master has been able to make one move in 800 years, and we don't know how long this game of chess will last!"

    Xiao Yuesheng glanced at the young monk standing quietly beside him and said warmly.

    Ranqing smiled honestly and scratched her head, "Well, then I'll go get some cakes for the layman."

    Xiao Yuesheng chuckled, and a packet of osmanthus cake suddenly appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Ranqing, who was scratching his head.

    Ranqing was very familiar with Xiao Yuesheng. They met every year. He was no longer surprised by Xiao Yuesheng's ability to change things out of thin air, so he took over the package of osmanthus cakes.

    Xiao Yuesheng summoned another bag of pine nut cakes, and after giving them to Ranqing, he transformed into a bag of glutinous rice cakes, repeating this process until Ranqing could no longer hold it.

    Seeing Ranqing with a silly smile on her face and walking carefully with her arms full of pastries, Xiao Yuesheng felt inexplicably happy.

    Another volume appeared out of thin air in his hand. It was a travelogue written by a scholar from the previous dynasty. He held the chess piece in one hand and the book in the other, reading it with gusto.

    Master Zhu Ming has superb chess skills. No one dares to take advantage of him, and few challenge him. The reason is mostly because he plays chess so slowly that he can crawl like a turtle. It is unbearable. After a game of chess, he loses seven or eight pieces.  Daily effort is rare.

    So, Xiao Yuesheng sat under the pine tree, holding a book in his hand, looking at the clouds and listening to the wind, feeling peaceful and at ease.

    Opposite, the old monk was holding a black jade chess piece, staring at the stone table, stroking his silver beard, frowning and thinking hard.

    On the canopy of green pine trees, white cranes would rise and fall from time to time, and a rain of pine needles would fall down on the two of them.

    At the foot of Tianmu Mountain, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women rode up to the mountain. They came to the front of the mountain, jumped off their horses, and let the two strong horses loose at will.

    "Brother, is this the mountain?" The girl who spoke was wearing a white dress, which looked quite thin in such a cold weather.

    "Maybe it's this mountain. Let me take a look Well, it seems that this mountain is the highest, so that's right." The man was also wearing a white robe, with a slender figure, taller than ordinary people.  Many, with a handsome and soft face and a magnetic voice, he carefully observed the mountains.

    The girl's face was calm but peaceful, as quiet as a virgin. She glanced at Tianmu Mountain, which was filled with anger into the sky, "Let's go then." She said lightly and walked away.

    The senior brother took the two luggage bags taken off the saddle in his hands and hurriedly put the luggage bags on his head as he walked.

    He is tall and has long legs. In just a few steps, he caught up with his junior sister and got in front of her. With a flash of the long sword at his waist, he cut off a branch on the side of the road in a very cool and unrestrained manner, split it into two, and handed one to the girl in white as a  Road stick.

    "Junior sister, we are rushing on non-stop, but we don't know if we can make it in time?" The senior brother kept waving the wooden branches in his hands, slapping the dry grass on the roadside, as if he was driving something.

    "Senior brother, there's no need to be like this, there are no poisonous snakes in winter." The girl's clear red phoenix eyes rolled slightly, she pursed her lips, and said to the senior brother in front of her with a half-smile, and then added: "Senior brother, don't worry, it will be in time!"

    That senior brother was so embarrassed, he actually forgot that snakes don¡¯t come out in winter, and he was embarrassed in front of his junior sister.??Such an ugly person, I really wish I could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

    Seeing that his junior sister had uncovered him so quickly, he felt very grateful and hurriedly said: "I think so too. Of course, Basiba will not be too anxious to leave. Alas, I wonder if Master Zhuming is his opponent?"

    Having said this, I didn¡¯t care about my own embarrassment, my heart was heavy, my pace suddenly became much faster, and my heart was full of worries.

    The girl is holding a wooden stick, and her eyes are constantly observing the surrounding terrain. Although it is winter, this place is not as desolate and bare as other mountains and forests, but it is quite lush and green. The mountains are full of green pines, either straight or curved, or coiled or coiled.  Horizontal, different postures, each with its own unique interest.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? From time to time, there are branches stretching out on the road, and her wooden stick is useful, but walking like this is really slow.

    "Master Zhu Ming is well-known and has many friends. Master said that Master Zhu Ming has a close friend who is a strange person in the world. With the help of this person, he will definitely be able to resist Pasiba." The girl calmly fiddled with the wooden stick blocking the road.  On the horizontal branches, the cherry blossoms opened their mouths and said slowly.

    The senior brother in front shook his head and sighed: "Well, Master is just doing his best. Such a strange person often has an erratic whereabouts, like a dragon that sees its head but not its tail. You can't find it by looking for it. Besides, even if Master Zhu Ming can find it,  How can we get this strange man in time? I'm afraid Pasiba will come to our door soon!" After saying that, he shook the wooden stick in his hand and shattered a section of pine branches blocking the road into powder, with a look of irritation on his face.

    "Senior brother¡ª¡ª!" The junior sister behind saw this, her curved eyebrows furrowed, and she gave a sweet shout.

    "Okay, okay, can't I calm down?!" When the senior brother heard the junior sister's shout, his expression became solemn, his eyes were attentive, and he regained his calm demeanor.

    By the time they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the sun was already high in the sky and hanging in the middle.

    Although the two of them were still breathing calmly and had no traces of sweat, the senior brother in front already had a look of anxiety in front of him.

    "Junior sister, no, we can't find Pudu Temple even in the dark if we move like this." He turned around and looked down at his junior sister.

    The girl in white looked at the sky and then at the lush mountain road. Her face was still calm as before, and she nodded lightly, "It is indeed too slow, but the mountain road is rugged, but it is not fast."

    "Alas!" Her senior brother stomped his feet, crushing the rocks with his cowhide boots, and thought hard, "What should we do? What should we do?!" He waved his wooden stick and faced the half-covered sky in the forest.  Sigh.

    "Junior sister, your Qinggong is good, can you walk up the mountain on the treetops?" He looked at the junior sister eagerly, his face full of hope.

    The girl in white glanced at her senior brother and nodded slightly, "Yes, but it won't last long. It's not much faster than walking."

    ¡°Alas¡ª¡ª!¡± The man sighed and muttered to himself, but he didn¡¯t know what to say.

    "Senior brother," the girl couldn't help but laugh when she saw how anxious her senior brother was. A faint smile appeared on her calm face, "You have learned the lion's roar from your master, right?"

    "Lion's roar? Ah, I have learned it before. Master asked you to learn it, but you didn't want to learn it. You said it was indecent for women to practice!" The senior brother raised his head and nodded again. Thinking of the scene at that time, a smile appeared on his face.  .

    The girl also smiled faintly, "You can use the lion's roar to announce to the mountain and see if Master Zhuming can hear it."

    The senior brother threw the wooden stick in his hand and sighed, "What a great idea! What a great idea!"

    "Brother, there is no need to be too happy. This mountain is so winding and the woods on the mountain are too dense. I'm afraid the sound will not reach the top of the mountain." The girl in white looked at the increasingly dense pine forest around her and poured cold water on her senior brother.

    The man coughed hard twice, stretched his neck, cleared his throat, and smiled proudly: "Look at me as a brother!"

    After saying that, turn around and stand facing the top of the mountain, with your legs slightly bent and buckled inward, standing upright like a stance, lightly pressing your Dantian with both palms, concentrating on your luck.

    Although he has practiced the Lion Roar Kung Fu, he seldom uses it and is a bit unfamiliar with it. Besides, he also wants to achieve the best effect, so he acts solemnly, maintains his posture meticulously, and concentrates his energy calmly.

    The girl in white clasped her ears with both hands, and her internal energy was circulating, preparing to resist the lion's roar from her senior brother.

    ¡°Li Hanxiang and Xu Yiou, disciples of Lonely Garden, pay their respects to Master Zhu Ming¡ª¡ª¡±

    ¡°Li Hanxiang and Xu Yiou, disciples of Lonely Garden, pay their respects to Master Zhu Ming¡ª¡ª¡±

    The majestic sound with a faint whistling sound became louder and louder, like a yellow bell rushing through the forest sea and rushing to the sky, startling the birds in the forest.

    At this time, on the flying cliff, Xiao Yuesheng was sitting at the stone table, holding a Tianshan snow lotus in his hand and feeding a huge white crane next to him.

    I heard a faint shout coming from the bottom of the cliff, Xiao Yuesheng let the white crane peck the snow lotus in his hand, looked at Master Zhu Ming who was frowning and stroking his beard, and couldn't help but smile.

    At this time, the shouting sounded again, but the energy was no longer as complete as before.

    Ranqing was doing lunch class in the main hall, banging wooden fish and muttering scriptures in his mouth, when he suddenly heard a clear and peaceful voice in his ears: "Ruanqing, come here for a moment."

    Ranqing knew it was layman Xiao as soon as he heard it. He quickly put down the wooden fish, stood up from the futon, and walked quickly towards the pine forest.

    The two brothers and sisters on the mountainside listened quietly for a long time, but there was no response, and they couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

    "Senior brother, shout again!" The face of the girl in white, Li Hanxiang, was still calm and calm, which was completely different from her senior brother's anxious face.

    "Ah¡ª¡ª! Are you still here?" His senior brother Xu Yiou was surprised, with a wry smile on his face, "It's useless, junior sister, they all complain that I don't practice diligently and have insufficient skills. They must not hear it." He was a little ashamed and annoyed.

    Although he is three years older than his junior sister and started four years earlier, when it comes to his skills, he is not as good as his junior sister. This senior brother must not be worthy of his name.

    "Senior brother, shout again!" Li Hanxiang said lightly, glancing at his senior brother lightly.

    "Okay, okay, I'll just listen to you!" Xu Yiou lost his temper after seeing her junior sister's indifferent eyes and quickly disarmed him.

    "Li Hanxiang and Xu Yiou in Lonely Garden met with Master Zhu Ming¡ª¡ª"

    Xu Yiou mustered all his strength, his inner energy surged, he raised his head and roared, and the sound rolled out like a howl and a roar. It was truly the pinnacle of his life.
