    Xianyun chuckled: "Isn't there a Bodhisattva in Yiyun Temple? Can't you just go there and thank the Bodhisattva?" "That won't work. I wasn't saved by the monks in Yiyun Temple. I was saved by the little master.  Of course I have to go to the little master¡¯s temple to thank you.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s fine, but we can¡¯t let you stay.¡± ¡°I know that. I¡¯m a grown man, so I can¡¯t live in your nunnery.¡±  She lowered her head and walked to the front where she was standing just now.  Lift a bamboo basket from the grass.  On the arm.  Zuo Shaoyang took a look into the bamboo basket: "Hey, mushrooms? So you came out to pick mushrooms?" "Yes." "I'll pick them for you." "Okay, thank you." Zuo Shaoyang often goes up the mountain.  Digging for medicine, I am too familiar with the conditions in the mountains and know where the mushrooms will grow.  Soon, he helped her pick a big basket.  Xianyun was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear: "You are so awesome! These mushrooms seem to be grown by your family. You can find the right one." "Of course," Zuo Shaoyang said with a proud smile.  "I used to dig herbs for others. I often went to the mountains to collect herbs and mushrooms." "So that's it. - Oops! It's raining!" Xianyun stretched out the white and tender catkins.  He looked up at the leaden sky.  A few raindrops fell on his face, Zuo Shaoyang said: "Yes. Let's find a place to hide from the rain quickly! How about going to Yiyun Temple? You can hide from the rain there!" Xianyun quickly shook his head, his pretty face turned red again.  Zuo Shaoyang immediately realized: "I'm sorry, you ran into the monk's temple as a little nun, and those pilgrims saw it, so it's time to talk nonsense again." Xianyun nodded gratefully.  Zuo Shaoyang looked around and saw that there were woods and steep cliffs all around, but there were no caves or even protruding cliffs to take shelter from the rain.  Said: "This is troublesome, there is no place to hide from the rain." The weather in the mountains changed at a moment's notice. The rain began to fall.  It¡¯s early winter now, and the rain is falling on my body, which makes me feel chilly.  Zuo Shaoyang took off his coat and robe. He held up his pocket and put it over Xianyun's head: "Take the clothes. Give me the bamboo basket!" Xianyun groaned and looked up at him: "How can this be done? You  You'll get wet!" Zuo Shaoyang grabbed the bamboo basket in her hand: "It's better for one person to get wet than for two people to get wet. You saved my life, so it doesn't matter if I get wet."  Stuffing it into her hand, she walked quickly up the mountain.  Xianyun had no choice but to grab his clothes, cover his head, and chase after him: "Donor Zuo, wait! How about let's cover the rain together?" Zuo Shaoyang didn't look back: "No. Those clothes are so  It¡¯s a bit small, just cover yourself.¡± It was raining lightly, although it wasn¡¯t too heavy.  But he was not young at all. Zuo Shaoyang was soaked in the rain in a short while.  Xianyun wanted to catch up and protect Zuo Shaoyang from the rain, but she couldn't catch up with Zuo Shaoyang.  Finally, the two of them reached the parallel point at the top of the cliff.  Zuo Shaoyang stopped, turned around and asked, "Where should we go?" Xianyun caught up with him panting, holding the robe in his hand to cover his head: "Hurry up and cover it, you are soaked!" Zuo Shaoyang took the clothes  , smiled and said: "The rain has stopped." Xianyun looked up at the sky, and sure enough he listened.  She smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry for making you wet like this. It's cold, and you'll catch a cold. Come with me, and we'll quickly go back and light up the fire to grill you!" As he said that, Xianyun moved up again.  After walking for a short distance, we entered waist-high trees and grass.  There seemed to be a path hidden under the grass.  Zuo Shaoyang followed her, and when he saw her emaciated body due to heat, he couldn't help but sigh, how lonely it must be for a little girl to spend her life on the top of Huashan Mountain, at the ancient Buddha with a green lantern.  After walking forward for a long time, Xianyun finally said: "We are here!" Zuo Shaoyang was stunned, raised his head and looked around, but did not find any temple: "Where is it?" "Here!" Xianyun raised her cattails.  , pointing to a cliff not far away, "Over there!" Zuo Shaoyang took a closer look. Only then did he realize that there was a looming stone cave under the cliff.  He smiled bitterly and said, "You live in a cave to practice?" "Yes, what do you think? Let's go!" Xianyun took Zuo Shaoyang to the entrance of the cave. Zuo Shaoyang heard the faint sound of wooden fish and the sound coming from inside.  The sound of chanting sutras.  Xianyun said loudly: "Master, I'm back." There was a hum inside, and the sound of chanting sutras came again.  The entrance to the cave is relatively small.  Xianyun bent down and entered the cave first.Only then did Yang Yang bend down and enter the cave.  The inside is relatively large. When you stand upright, you are still more than a foot away from the top of the cave. The inside is only about ten square meters. There is an offering table in the back with several small Bodhisattvas placed on it.  There are no offerings except the Bodhisattva and a burner of incense on the offering table.  On both sides of the altar table, there are two floor bunks, which are neatly folded. They are very old and have a few patches on them, but they are washed very clean.  In the corner of the cave near the door, there is an iron pot and two wooden bowls, as well as chopsticks, spoons and an earthen stove.  On the other side lay a small bundle of dry firewood and a small water jar.  An old nun with a wrinkled face was sitting cross-legged on the futon in front of the altar table, banging wooden fish and chanting sutras.  Xianyun said: "Master, this young man named Zuo came to our place to worship Buddha. He also helped me pick out some mushrooms to see" Zuo Shaoyang cupped his hands and said: "I have seen Master!" The old nun continued to chant sutras, follow you.  As if heard.  Xianyun stuck out his tongue at Zuo Shaoyang, started to light the fire quickly, and called to Zuo Shaoyang: "Take off your clothes and bake them. My clothes are too small. Why don't you put on my master's clothes to keep out the cold for now?"  How could Zuo Shaoyang have the nerve to take off his clothes in front of two nuns?  Smiled: "No need. Just wear wet clothes and dry them like this." "Then you will catch a cold. Let's do this, you sew your clothes in the cave, and I will collect firewood." "No, no need  ¡± Zuo Shaoyang glanced at the old nun¡¯s back with some embarrassment.  Xianyun immediately met and laughed: "My master has been blind for many years. She can't see." "I, I don't mean that, I just wear clothes and bake. Don't collect firewood, wait."  I'll pick it up for you. ¡ª¡ªThe teacher has bad eyesight?" He seemed to be talking to the old nun.  It's like asking Xianyun.  But the old nun didn't say anything and kept chanting sutras.  Xianyun whispered: "Yes. My master has been blind for three years." Zuo Shaoyang said: "I know some medical skills and can help the master look at his eyes." The old nun continued to chant sutras, not even a little bit.  pause.  Xianyun said happily: "My master doesn't speak when he recites sutras. - Do you really know medicine?" "Well, you know a little bit." "Great, after my master finishes reciting sutras, you can help her take a look."  "Okay." Zuo Shaoyang sat by the stove, holding his robe with both hands to heat it.  Looking around, he whispered: "You two nuns are in this deserted mountain forest. Aren't you afraid of meeting bad people? "Where are there so many bad people?  We monks are impoverished and don¡¯t have much money, and even robbers will look down upon us.  " Zuo Shaoyang wants to say that bad guys not only rob wealth, but also rob sex. But it's hard to say this. People are not afraid. Well, there must be a way to deal with it. When the little nun pulled him just now, he didn't have much strength in his hands. It should be  He doesn't know martial arts, but maybe he is a master of martial arts. The monks and nuns in the world are more or less skilled in martial arts. This old nun should be good at martial arts and may be able to deal with the common thieves and perverts in the world. Mr. Zuo is just worried.  Yang said nothing, for fear of disturbing the old nun's chanting. Xianyun put the iron pot on the stove and scooped half of the water. Then she took a wooden basin and started washing the mushrooms. It was early winter and the water was already very cold.  She washed them very carefully, so when she finished washing, her little hands were already red from the cold. She put a few mushrooms in the pot. Then she took some vegetables and washed them. These vegetables were obviously not wild, they should have been grown by Zuo Shaoyang.  Curiously, he asked in a low voice: ¡°You still grow vegetables?  " "Yeah. It's in the open space over there.  " "It's amazing.  "Zuo Shaoyang praised. After putting the vegetables and mushrooms into the pot, she took three more black-faced steamed buns and baked them next to the stove. "Zuo Shaoyang looked at the three black-faced steamed buns and remembered that she had  The hard life I lived when I traveled back in time did not expect that the life of a monk would be so hard. The food was ready, Zuo Shaoyang's robe was almost dry, Xianyun put it on and pinched it worriedly: "This robe.  Not doing much yet.  Especially the clothes you wear underneath will catch you cold.  " Zuo Shaoyang smiled and shook his head and said it doesn't matter. He has practiced the art of returning to empty space and has long been no longer afraid of the cold. Even in the severe winter in the Western Region, he only wears a single robe and never catches a cold. " Now this coldness doesn't matter at all.  At this time, the old nun finally stopped reciting sutras. He put down the wooden fish mallet and put one palm together, and said in a low and slightly hoarse voice: "Master Zuo, just now the poor nun was reciting sutras and could not be distracted, so he did not answer the young master's words.  I'm so sorry.  " Zuo Shaoyang quickly returned the salute with cupped fists: "Master, you are too serious.  It¡¯s really inappropriate for Zuo to make such rash remarks.Collision.  " "It's okay. Just listen to what the bad guy said just now that the young master is here to pay homage to the Buddha?  "Xianyun said: "Yes, Master, Mr. Zuo was originally going towell, he encountered some troubles, but now he has thought about it. He heard that we are practicing here, so he came to worship Buddha.  " "I'm really sorry. Our master and disciple are living in seclusion and practicing Buddhism. We don't accept outsiders paying homage to Buddha.  If donor Zuo wants to worship Buddha, why not go to Eyun Temple at the foot of the mountain?  " Zuo Shaoyang smiled: "I actually don't believe in Buddhism, but because Ling Gao's disciple once helped me, I also helped her pick some mushrooms and sent them back. Whether I am polite to Buddha or not is not important.  " The old nun rolled his dull eyes: "Oh, the young master knows medical skills?  " "If you know a little bit, how did Master Tai's eyes come to be blind?  " "Injured by the miasma.  " "Miasma?"  "    "Um!  Three years ago, when a poor nun and his disciples were looking for Tuo Fang to live in seclusion on Mount Hua, they found a cave that was very hidden.  So he asked the bad guys to wait outside the cave, and the poor nun went in to take a look. He never thought that there was a miasma inside. When the poor nun found that the torch in his hand suddenly went out, he knew something was wrong and quickly held his breath. However, he didn't know that there was a miasma inside.  The miasma also hurt the eyes, and the poor nun felt his eyes burning and painful.  I quickly closed my eyes. It was already too late. I struggled to crawl out. I fell ill for half a year before I felt better, but my eyes were alas!  Zuo Shaoyang said: "Let me check Master's eyes."  " "Thank you, sir.  " Zuo Shaoyang squatted beside her, opened his eyelids and looked at her eyes, and found that both eyeballs were completely necrotic. It was not cataracts. Even in modern times, there is nothing that can be done about such eye diseases. Although modern medical technology can  He could replace the heart and the cornea, but he couldn't replace the entire eye. He said sadly: "I'm sorry, I can't cure Master's eyes.  " The old nun smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter. I have sought treatment from famous doctors, but they all said there was no cure.  I heard that there used to be a miracle doctor in the capital. Like the young master, his surname was Zuo. His medical skills were astonishing and he could bring the dead back to life.  It's a pity that he has left the capital for more than ten years.  I heard that I went to the Western Regions.  Alas, the poor nun never had the chance to meet a miracle doctor, so his eyes were considered useless.  " Zuo Shaoyang felt a little ashamed. He didn't expect that even the old nun who lived in seclusion in the mountains knew about his fame, but he couldn't cure the old nun's eye necrosis. If the old nun knew this, I'm afraid he would be even more desperate. Still.  Don't let him know, keep some illusions. Xianyun forced a smile and said, "Master, Mr. Zuo, it's time to eat!  " Seeing how hard their life was, Zuo Shaoyang was unwilling to eat their food. It wasn't that he was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas and couldn't eat this coarse grain meal. It was because he wanted to leave more food for them. Zuo Shaoyang stood up and said: "No, you guys  Eat, I have something else to do, so I won¡¯t bother you.  " The old nun said expressionlessly: "Okay, Xianyun, I'll see Mr. Zuo off.  " "Yes. Master!"  "Xianyun sent Zuo Shaoyang out and watched him walk into the dense forest, bow and then return to the cave. Zuo Shaoyang decided to go to the cliff to see if it was possible to climb down the cliff. He walked out for hundreds of  He saw the mountains covered with white clouds from the dense forest, and he knew he was close to the cliff. Sure enough, he came to the edge of the cliff just a few feet away, and he took out the zip line and grabbed a strange pine tree that jutted out of the cliff.  He slowly slid down the cliff. His flying claws were only a few feet long, not to get down the cliff, but to observe the situation, so he stopped when he reached the end and looked around. The cliff was as smooth as a mirror, and there was no place to hold his hand.  There is no trace of it. Looking down, the clouds are shrouded and the Yiyun Temple is invisible in the mountain fog. According to the treasure map, the treasure is located three hundred feet parallel to the Yiyun Temple.  On the mountain wall, the vertical distance from the top of the cliff to the direction parallel to Eyun Temple is more than 300 feet. In other words, the rope needs to be very long from such a high place.  It is hard to imagine that it would be difficult for just a few people to lift the treasure in the box. And the fewer people know about hiding the treasure, the better. From this point of view, it seems impossible to lift it from here.  Yes. Is there another hidden passage for transporting the treasure? Zuo Shaoyang walked along the cliff but couldn't find anything suspicious. He went down to check and saw that it was getting dark.  Zuo Shaoyang returned to his hidden cave on the top of the mountain near Yiyun Temple. At night, he was just thinking about it in the cave and decided to go down the mountain to buy ropes.  Go down and find out.
