    The next day, after Zuo Shaoyang finished practicing, he went down the mountain.  It usually takes two days for ordinary people to walk from Yiyun Temple to the market town at the foot of the mountain. Zuo Shaoyang was fast and took only one day to get there. In order to prevent the emperor from sending people to search and find him, he took off his robe and hid it, and then wrapped his head in a towel.  He got up, pretended to cough and sneeze, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and entered the market town.  Sure enough, he found a notice about looking for himself in a conspicuous place in the market town.  The portrait is well drawn, quite similar.  Anyone who knows his whereabouts will be rewarded with one thousand taels of gold! ? ? I never imagined that I was worth so much.  Zuo Shaoyang smiled to himself, avoided crowded places, and found the rope he needed in a shop in a small alley.  There are many cliffs in Huashan Mountain. Some herb collectors often buy ropes to go up the mountain to collect herbs, so there are many shops selling ropes in market towns.  And these ropes are very thin and strong.  Zuo Shaoyang bought a large bundle, about five hundred feet long.  There was only so much he could carry.  These ropes were tied up and carried on his back, so that his body could no longer be seen.  He decided to buy another small bag of rice.  Prepare to send it to the pair of nuns and masters who live in seclusion in the mountains.  With these, he walked up the mountain overnight.  Traveling at night is not only because you are in a hurry, but also because you can use the night to get rid of possible stalkers.  Climbing a mountain is more difficult at night than during the day, so it took him a whole night to walk half of the way.  It got much better after dawn. Before noon, he returned to the top of the cliff next to Yiyun Temple where the pair of nuns were practicing.  But he did not go directly to the nuns and masters. He decided to explore the cave first.  The cliff was still several hundred feet away from the cave where the nun and his disciple lived in seclusion. It was impossible for the master and his disciple to know that he was at the edge of the cliff.  Zuo Shaoyang didn't sleep all night, but he didn't feel sleepy. This is the allure of treasure hunting.  Although Zuo Shaoyang is not short of money now, no one will find it too much. Moreover, after Zuo Shaoyang practices for two hours every day, he has nothing to do, which is also the result of extreme boredom.  He tied the rope tightly to a big pine tree, threw the rope off the cliff, and then slowly slid down the cliff along the rope.  As he slid down, he looked around to see if there were any cracks or caves. However, from the top down, the entire cliff was as smooth as a mirror, and there was not even a rock pine to stay on.  The rope was half used, and some cracks and rock pine began to appear.  I searched every place carefully, but found no clues. The cracks were very shallow, and not even mice could get in, let alone people.  He almost slipped to the bottom of the rope, and finally reached the cliff parallel to Eyun Temple.  It is about two hundred feet away from the cliff next to Eyun Temple, and with the more than one hundred feet on the other side of Eyun Temple, it should be almost here.  Zuo Shaoyang looked around, but found that this mountain wall was also cut with a knife and axe. There were several rock pines and there were no hidden caves after checking.  Zuo Shaoyang was very disappointed. He climbed up the cliff, moved more than a hundred feet left and right and went down to the cliff again, but still found nothing.  It was already evening at this time, and I had been busy all day without any gains.  Zuo Shaoyang was very frustrated. He took away the rope and threw it in the grass. Carrying the bag of food, he came to the cave where Xianyun and the others practiced.  By this time, the sun was already setting, and the mountains were covered with golden light.  When he came to the cave, he found that the cave had been sealed by a huge stone.  Very surprised. Have they left here?  Zuo Shaoyang shouted: "Master! Xianyun! Where are you? It's me. I'm here to see you!" After shouting a few times, suddenly the huge stone at the entrance of the cave moved, and then slowly moved away, clicking.  With a sound, it fell to the side and exposed the hole.  Standing tall, Xianyun came out and looked at him in surprise: "Master Zuo?" Zuo Shaoyang said: "So you are in a cave. Were you the one who pushed away such a huge boulder?" Xianyun smiled.  Shaking his head: "It's my master. Only master can push the doors and doors. I can't push them." "Oh, your master is so powerful." Zuo Shaoyang said this, but in his heart he thought that if one day you  The master suddenly died in the cave, and you couldn't push away the huge rock in the cave. Wouldn't it mean that you would starve to death in the cave?  Zuo Shaoyang picked up the half bag of grain in his hand: "Here, I went to buy grain for you. I saw you eating black-faced steamed buns yesterday. Life was too hard, so I bought you some grain. Unfortunately, the road is too far.  I can't carry much food. Just eat it now. I'll buy more for you later." Xianyun was very frightened and turned back to the cave: "Master, Mr. Zuo will give it to us.  I have half a bag of food, do you want it?" The old nun's voice came from the cave: "We are practicing in seclusion, not living in a temple to worship Buddha, so we don't accept it.provided.  The poor nun took the young master's kindness seriously.  This is unacceptable.  " Zuo Shaoyang was stunned. There are monks who don't accept alms. This old nun is really weird. He said: "Master, Zuo has good intentions and has no purpose.  Providing support to monks and nuns is also what we secular people should do.  " During Zuo Shaoyang's fifteen years in the Western Regions, Buddhism developed rapidly under the advocacy of Tubo Songtsan Gampo. At that time, there were regulations that secular people were obliged to support married monks and nuns. That's why Zuo Shaoyang said this. But  , He didn¡¯t know that there were no regulations in this regard in Chinese Buddhism at that time. The old nun said lightly: ¡°Young Master accepts this kindly, but I cannot accept it.  Xianyun, come in!  " Xianyun bowed, then lowered his head and got into the cave. Then he saw the old nun grabbing the bulge of the rock with both hands, pulling the rock back, and blocking the cave again. " Zuo Shaoyang was very depressed, this old nun  The nun is really old-fashioned. She doesn't accept alms as a monk. She must be suspecting that she is a disciple who has fallen in love with her beautiful female disciple and wants to make some conspiracy. Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and placed the bag of grain next to the cave.  , clapped his hands and said loudly: "Teacher, I really don't mean anything else, I just want to express my gratitude to my disciple for saving his life.  The food was placed next to the cave.  If you don't want it, just throw it away.  I am also a person who practices in the mountains.  I live in a cave on the top of the mountain next to Evian Temple below.  We are also neighbors after all.  Since the master didn't want anyone to disturb Qing Xiu, Zuo left and never came again.  goodbye!  " Stepping down the mountain, after walking a few steps, he stopped again, turned around and said, "If you need any help, just come to me!  " There was no echo in the cave. Zuo Shaoyang took long strides, walked sideways through the dense forest, walked around the cliff, and then walked down the mountain. It was completely dark when he passed Yiyun Temple. Years of outdoor repairs have made him accustomed to it.  Walking on the mountain road at night, he climbed to the top of the mountain where he lived and returned to his cave. He stayed up all night and searched for the treasure on the cliff all day long.  He was very tired. He returned to the cave, ate some dry food randomly, and fell asleep that night. He also had a dream, in which he saw a white cloud sitting on Xianyun, floating in the mountains, like a fairy.  , and smiled at himself. Although he dreamed of Xianyun, he did not see Xianyun again for more than half a month. In addition to practicing for two hours every day, he spent the rest of the time.  They all used ropes to hang down the cliff to search for the hidden treasure. In order to be precise, he even measured a three-hundred-foot rope, and then measured it from Eyun Temple to the mountain wall, and searched there, but the result was still the same.  He found nothing. He couldn't say he was depressed. Anyway, he was not short of money. He was just looking for the treasure to kill time. Since he couldn't find it despite his best efforts, he had to give up. He had been practicing on the mountain for nearly two months.  I went down the mountain every ten days to buy daily necessities in the market town, and casually inquired about the death of the emperor or the killing of the imperial master. However, there was still no news, but there were more soldiers in the market town, looking for more notices.  It was plastered all over the streets and alleys. It seemed that the emperor had reached the last moment. This afternoon, Zuo Shaoyang was sitting on a boulder on the top of the mountain, looking at the mountains, listening to the sound of the breeze in the mountains, when he suddenly saw a path under the mountain.  Tu, there is a pretty figure slowly coming up the mountain. The figure looks familiar, like the little nun Xianyun. Zuo Shaoyang stood up quickly. He knew that Xianyun had not seen him for more than half a month and now he suddenly ran away.  Come to find yourself, maybe something happened. "Xianyun walked very quickly. There were no roads in the deep mountains and wild ridges. Xianyun walked up the mountain through the bushes. It was very difficult, but he was in a very hurry, as if he was in a hurry.  Looking anxious. Zuo Shaoyang flew out of the zip line and climbed to the top of the tree. He flew down from the treetop and quickly approached Xianyun, landing on the tree a few feet away from her and standing where she must pass.  , leaning against a tree and waiting for her. Soon, Xisi Yun appeared in front of him with a sound of tearing apart the bushes. Suddenly he saw a person standing in front of him. Xianyun shivered in fear.  When he saw that it was Zuo Shaoyang, he was overjoyed: "Master Zuo!  You are here!  " Zuo Shaoyang also seemed surprised: "Hey, Xianyun?  How did you get here?  " He found that Xianyun's eyes were swollen from crying, like two walnuts. "I came to you for help!  " As soon as Xianyun started to speak, tears flowed down again, "My master was bitten by a tiger!  "    "ah?  tiger?  Are there tigers here?  ¡±  "Yes! Yesterday morning, I came back from collecting firewood. I found two dead tigers lying at the entrance of the cave. I was frightened and quickly called the master. The master didn't agree. I got into the cave and saw the master lying there.  There was blood all over his body and one of his legs was missing. I quickly bandaged Master¡¯s wound. He didn¡¯t wake up until yesterday evening. He must have been in pain. I asked Master if I wanted to go to you for help.  , Master said no. But at night, Master's body was burning, and he seemed to have no breath at dawn. So I came to call you, don't you know how to heal me? " Zuo Shaoyang, please!  In an emergency, he didn't care about hiding his martial arts, he hugged her waist, flew out his flying claws to grab the treetop, and flew up the tree.  Xianyun was hugged by Zuo Shaoyang and exclaimed. Before she could say anything, her body was already on the tree like a cloud and mist, and then flew among the treetops. She was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes.  Both hands tightly grasped Zuo Shaoyang's waist.  Zuo Shaoyang quickly flew to the top of the mountain, and soon came to the cave where two nuns practiced on the top of the cliff.  Sure enough, two dead tigers were lying on the ground, with blood everywhere. He hurriedly got into the cave and saw the old nun lying crookedly next to the futon. One leg had been torn off and fell to the side of the cave. There was blood all over her body.  They have all solidified, and the blood on the ground has solidified into black red.  A blood-stained sword fell to the ground.  He hurried over and helped her lie down. When he felt the pulse on the side of her neck, his heart suddenly went cold. He couldn't feel any pulse anymore. He quickly put his ear to the old nun's heart and listened carefully, but he couldn't hear any beating sound.  When I opened my eyes, I saw that my pupils were dilated. I squeezed them with my hand and loosened them, but the deformation of my pupils could not be restored.  Zuo Shaoyang shook his head sadly: "I'm sorry, your master bled too much and has passed away." Xianyun burst into tears and threw herself on her master, crying like a cuckoo dripping blood.  Zuo Shaoyang sat at the entrance of the cave and waited.  With great difficulty, Xianyun stopped crying and sat beside his master's body in a daze.  Zuo Shaoyang walked over and picked up the Jie Dao on the ground and said, "Let's dig a hole and bury your master?" Xianyun shook his head desperately and hugged his master's body, as if he was afraid that Zuo Shaoyang would snatch it away.  Zuo Shaoyang sighed: "I'll help you dig a hole. You can bury it or not." After that, he walked out with the sword in hand. He found a gentle open space, used the sword as a hoe, and started digging.  The tools were not suitable for my hands and it was very laborious to dig. I finally managed to dig a long pit about ten feet deep.  Zuo Shaoyang threw the sword beside the pit and walked back to the cave. He saw Xianyun still sitting there in a daze holding the body.  Said: "To bury or not to bury? If not to bury, I will leave." Xianyun looked at him blankly with her big eyes. After being stunned for a long time, she nodded and wanted to hold Shitai's body horizontally.  But she was too thin to hold her up.  Zuo Shaoyang sighed, went over to pick up the body, walked out of the cave, walked through the woods, came to the clearing, placed the body in the pit, then took off his robe and covered the head and face of the body.  Only then did he get out of the trap.  Xianyun was already crying like a tearful person. He knelt by the pit and held a handful of sand. He looked at the master's body in the pit and shivered but refused to put it in.  Zuo Shaoyang was not in a hurry, and sat next to her and waited until she cried and finally poured a handful of soil into the pit. Then she came over and shoveled all the soil in quickly with flying and clattering movements.  Into the pit.  Xianyun fell weakly on the grass, watching Zuo Shaoyang burying his master, but tears kept flowing.  Finally, Zuo Shaoyang filled the grave, wiped his sweat, walked over and squatted in front of her: "Xianyun, what are your plans? Are you still living in your cave?" Xianyun shook his head blankly.  "Do you need me to help you with anything?" Xianyun still shook his head.
