Chapter 40: Nanne old man

Both Fuhua and Yu Rui's eyes had not healed, so the task of cooking fell on Lin Rufei. For more than 20 years, he has not touched the spring water with ten fingers, and stared at the pots and pans. Gu Xuandu, who did not know where his predecessor had lived for hundreds of years, was no better than him. He began to want to help Lin Rufei, but the two of them worked together to successfully make completely inedible food.
Lin Rufei knew for the first time that the chicken soup could be so stale ...
"How did this chicken stew into this look?" Lin Rufei looked at the boiling iron pan frowning in grief. The chicken stewed by others was fragrant. As a result, when he stewed, the taste was strange, let alone the entrance, even I smell nauseous after smelling it for a while.
"It may be that the breeds of chickens are different." Gu Xuandu pretended to be calm, with a serious analysis, "I think it must be because the chicken was raised in a bandit and infected with bandits ..."
Lin Rufei stared at Gu Xuandu Hu Yan.
About Lin Rufei's eyes were too obvious, Gu Xuan laughed and said, "Otherwise, let's have something else?"
I can only eat something else. Lin Rufei lost his thoughts. If this chicken soup is given to Yuhua Rui, it is estimated that not only will he not be able to make up for his body, he may have to go down the mountain to find another couple for him ...
After a long time, Lin Rufei learned why his chicken soup was stewed into this look-he put a whole chicken directly into the iron pot, including the chicken's internal organs. In other words, he simmered things like chicken feces and chicken together, and it tasted good to have ghosts.
The few people who failed to cook, just made up for a dozen days of dry food. Lin Rufei ate everything, and the waitresses finally recovered.
On the night of Fuming, Fuhua went to the cottage and grabbed a few rabbits to bake for Lin Rufei. The rabbits in the mountains are very plump. After pickling, they are sprinkled with special sauces made of floating flowers. The roasted oil flowers are soaring, exuding a rich flavour, and Lin Rufei swallows saliva. He usually doesn't like the meaty meaty food, but after eating so many hard dried foods, it is really meaty.
Fuhua smiled and cut the rabbit meat and handed it to Lin Rufei.
Lin Rufei ate it happily. Gu Xuandu, a less reliable senior, stood by the side and asked sourly, "Is it fragrant?"
Lin Rufei nodded.
Gu Xuandu said, "I want to eat too."
Lin Rufei rightly said: "This rabbit is raised in a bandit. I'm afraid it's not a serious rabbit."
Gu Xuandu: "..." this revenge little guy.
Fuhua Yurui heard something inexplicable, I don't know why Lin Rufei suddenly uttered such a sentence.
Lin Rufei said again, "But if it's not serious, it's delicious." After speaking, I took another sip.
Gu Xuandu choked Lin Rufei for a moment, but he didn't find any words. He hated straightening his teeth, but he couldn't find any refutation. Lin Rufei saw his rare appearance of eating crickets, and laughed with pleasure.
After Fuhua Yurui became ill, the four went on the road again. Although their previous horse was lost, fortunately, there were still many horses in the bandit, enough for them to use.
But there is still a very troublesome problem, that is, without the fortune, they do not know the road at all. The size of Xiliang Mountain is so large that even the Royal Sword has to fly for more than ten days. How long has it been.
Gu Xuandu volunteered and said that he knew the road on Xiliang Mountain, and Lin Rufei decided to trust him again.
I walked for a while like this, until I saw the eye-catching avenue, Lin Rufei's hanging heart was let down.
Gu Xuan found that as time passed, his predecessor's majesty became less and less worthy, and he felt a little depressed. "Xiao Chi, why don't you believe me? I'm your predecessor ... come and call again?" "
Lin Rufei looked at the front and ignored him.
Gu Xuandu: "Ignore me?"
Lin Rufei slowly said: "Innocently hot."
"Is the young master hot? Would you like to cut off some clothes?" Yu Rui thought that the young master was talking to herself, chewing corn candy, and vaguely said, "The mountain is getting hotter and hotter, and I don't know how long it will take ..."
Lin Rufei stopped talking.
Gu Xuandu said, "I don't care?"
Seeing Lin Rufei's silence, Gu Xuandu turned around and crawled on the horse's back behind Lin Rufei, and reached Lin Rufei's ears and said, "Xiao Chi has heard the story of the decapitated Buddha."
At this moment, it was going to be late, and it was dusk, the mountain wind was blowing, and the treetops screamed beside.
Then Gu Xuandu told a cool and compelling story in Lin Rufei's ear.
It was said that one of the scholars rushed to take the exam one day and hurried through the mountains of Xiliang overnight, but suddenly it rained heavily. When they happened to have a broken temple on the roadside, they entered the temple to avoid the rain. The ruined temple has been in disrepair for a long time. When the scholar entered the door, he saw a broken Buddha statue. The Buddha statue was torn and broken all over his body, especially the head was cut off with a sharp weapon. The scholar was a little scared, but the rain outside was too heavy, so he had to hide in the corner of the temple, trying to make up for the night. The student was very tired to rush on the road, and soon fell asleep. In his sleep, he saw a man in a sullen dress giving a gift to himself, begging him to give alms, and the student gave a good voice in his sleepiness and fell asleep again. past.
The weather was fine the next day, and the student opened his eyes stupidly, but found that he had originally moved in a corner and moved a position, but actually floated in the air, lowered his head to the top, and saw the entire temple. Suddenly noticed a familiar person lying in the corner of the temple, looked carefully, and found that the person lying there turned out to be himself! And the head seemed to have been cut off by somebody. Only half of the body was left. The scholar was so horrified that he looked down at himself, only to find that his head was actually pressed on the Buddha statue.
After Gu Xuandu said the last sentence, there was a sudden demon wind in the mountain forest. It was a fair day but it was clouded in a moment, and it seemed to be raining.
Lin Rufei turned to look at him, his eyes were full of blame, thinking about how naive this predecessor was, even telling a ghost story, and deliberately making a cloudy day to scare people.
Gu Xuandu reluctantly explained: "I didn't do it!"
Lin Rufei shouted in disbelief.
Gu Xuandu: "..." He really didn't make it.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Fuhua and Yurui thought that it was going to rain, and asked if they could find a shelter from the rain.
This summer is not like spring. Rain always comes, it's wayward.
"Well, is there a temple there?" Yu Rui suddenly said, raising her finger into the deep forest.
Lin Rufei looked in the direction she was pointing at, and she really saw a ruined temple. Seeing this scene, Lin Rufei turned her head and looked at Gu Xuandu.
Gu Xuandu is innocent: "It really doesn't matter to me--"
"Master, can we go to that temple to avoid the rain?" Fu Hua asked.
The summer rain is coming fast. At this moment, a small raindrop has hit the leaves on their heads. Looking at this posture, it seems that it is a heavy rain right away.
Lin Rufei said, "Okay." He glanced at Gu Xuandu again, the meaning of his eyes was already very obvious.
Gu Xuan couldn't say clearly, thinking in his heart that he just wanted to scare Lin Rufei, who knew it so well. But the story of the world is no coincidence. When several people entered the temple and saw the buddha statue in the middle of the temple, Gu Xuandu really jumped into the Yellow River and could not tell ...
Taking advantage of the floating flower Yu Rui to collect firewood, Lin Rufei smiled at Gu Xuandu with a smile: "This can also be made by you, it is not easy."
Gu Xuandu said, "With me ... forget it." He wanted to say that it had nothing to do with him, but the rain outside and the Buddha statue in front of him made him disbelieve, so he was too lazy to explain.
Lin Rufei looked around and simply looked at this very unexpected ruined temple.
This temple is not large, and there is such a headless Buddha statue in the middle. In front of the statue, there are shabby merit boxes and two ash futons, and the traces of incense left in the year are faintly visible.
There was no window in the temple. There was only an old wooden door that could no longer be used. Lin Rufei took a piece of cloth from the Xuner Ring, spread it on the ground, and sat down on the spot.
As soon as Fu Hua and Yu Rui returned to the temple, it rained heavily outside. The rain was overwhelming, like a pour, accompanied by a thunder and lightning, which sounded a bit horrible for a while.
The three of them sat in the temple, surrounded by a bonfire, Lin Rufei glanced at the flickering faces of the two maids in the fire, and smiled slyly: "You have heard the story of the decapitated Buddha ..."
Gu Xuandu: "..." Xiao Chi, you bad thing.
Fuhua Yurui both said honestly that they hadn't heard it, so Lin Rufei repeated the story Gu Gudu said with a sound, accompanied by the roaring thunderstorm, and the ghost atmosphere in the entire temple. dense. Although the floating flower Yurui is very tall, it is a girl. After listening to Lin Rufei ’s story, she looks as earthy, especially Yu Rui. From time to time, she looks at the decapitated Buddha and her arms holding the floating flower are still shaking. Non-stop. Floating flowers are pretending to be calm, but in fact they are a little flustered, holding on to Yu Rui, and forcing calmly, "Don't ... don't be afraid, there is no ghost in the world."
Lin Rufei looked at the appearance of her maid, and finally understood why Gu Xuandu had such a bad taste. It was really interesting to watch others tremble because of their stories.
He wasn't scared at all, and said with a smile: "It's too late, and it's time to rest. I'll sleep first."
He fell asleep while talking, and deliberately held the blanket to cover his face.
Gu Xuandu reluctantly sat next to Lin Rufei, and found that if the young master broke his heart, it was really overwhelming.
Fuhua and Yu Rui comforted each other for a long time, and then barely calmed down on each other's shoulders.
The sound of wind and rain outside the temple remained, accompanied by rolling thunder, destined not to rest too well tonight.
Lin Rufei suddenly had a cough in the middle of the night, and after waking up staggeringly, she saw that the bonfire in the temple had been burned for most of the time and was about to go out. Fuhua Yurui dozed off beside him. He didn't wake them up. After sitting up, he took the nearby firewood and put it into the campfire. When he saw the fire rekindled, he sat back to the bed.
The rain outside is still raining. Fortunately, the rain is much lighter and seems to be about to stop. The summer rain has always been this way, it comes fast, it goes fast, but every time it rains, the weather will get hotter, and the summer atmosphere will gradually become stronger.
Lin Rufei drank some cold water and suppressed the itching in his throat. He couldn't sleep anymore, so he leaned against the wall and stared at the Buddha statue in the temple in a daze. Gu Xuandu didn't know what to do at this moment, nor did he see his figure. Lin Rufei was thinking about it, but suddenly noticed something. He snorted, stood up, and approached the Buddha statue, and found that the Buddha statue turned around silently, originally facing the direction of the main door, but at this time he was facing himself. It stands to reason that most people should be scared when they see such a scene, but Lin Rufei immediately remembered Gu Xuandu, the vicious predecessor, so his expression remained unchanged. He stepped forward to the Buddha image and carefully held the Buddha image in front .
Day didn't take a closer look. At this time Lin Rufei took a closer look at the Buddha statue by the fire. Although it is very shabby, it can be seen that the carving technique is very exquisite, every detail on it is vivid, but it is a pity that the most wonderful part of the Buddha head was cut off.
Many people who steal cultural relics will choose to cut off the head of the Buddha, because this is the most valuable part of the Buddha sculpture. At the very middle of the body of the Buddha statue, there is a very inconspicuous thin line that looks like it has been cut by some sharp weapon, destroying the integrity of the entire Buddha statue. Lin Rufei felt a little regret in her heart, sighed, but heard a soft "donor" behind the statue, looking for the sound, but actually saw a monk wearing a commoner's clothing standing in the corner of the ruined temple, holding Holding a broken bowl, a pair of black eyes were staring at him quietly.
The monk was born with a very clean and handsome face, with a dignified expression and a strict law, but at this time suddenly appeared in this dilapidated temple, no matter how unattractive it seemed.
Lin Rufei said, "Why is this Master here?"
"Should I say this to the donor?" The monk smiled. "This temple is the monk's home."
Lin Rufei said, "Really, we didn't see you when we came in ..."
The monk laughed: "The monk just went out for a while, and came back when the rain stopped. I didn't want to see the donor ..."
Lin Rufei said, "What could that be?" Don't even be a head.
The monk shook his head.
Lin Rufei looked at him with burning eyes.
The monk was inexplicably stared at by Lin Rufei, saying: "Why does the donor look at me like this?"
Lin Rufei said, "I'm waiting for your next sentence."
The monk suspected: "Next sentence?"
Lin Rufei said, "What do you not need me to give?"
The monk said: "If the donor is willing to give alms, it is best."
"No," Lin Rufei said, "I have nothing."
The monk froze, and it seemed that Lin Rufei was so stingy, and even a little aggressive, he frowned slightly and was about to say something, but two screams screamed loudly around him. It was the floating flowers and Yu Rui who were awakened by the dialogue between Lin Rufei and the monk. As soon as they woke up, they heard the monk's phrase "If the donor is willing to give alms" ...
This is almost exactly the situation in the ghost story.
The monk was puzzled and said, "What's their name?"
Lin Rufei said, "Maybe I'm afraid of you."
Monk: "..."
After the floating flower Yurui called out, she rushed to Lin Rufei in front of her sword, and said that the demon demon dismissed in her mouth, and she could not help gesturing toward the monk. The monk was stunned by this scene. The bowl in his hand fell directly on the ground and gave out a harsh and crisp sound. He didn't even want to understand what the three men meant in front of him. Was he born as fierce as hell? Is Rakshasa terrible?
The maids called for a while, but when they saw that the monk had no response, they stopped their movements and got up suspiciously. Yu Rui boldly stretched out her fingers, poked the monk's cheek, and said: " How could it be hot ... "
This monk is also good-tempered, poked by Yu Rui and smiling: "I'm not hot, is it still cold?"
"Aren't you a ghost?" Yu Rui whispered.
The monk said, "Where am I like a ghost?"
Fuhua Yurui looked at each other, and looked at Lin Rufei at the same time, her eyes were a little helpless.
This monk seems really personal, but I don't know if it has anything to do with Gu Xuan.
Lin Rufei made a courtesy gesture to the monk with his hands folded, and sincerely apologized, saying that he was not intentionally offensive, but had once heard a ghost story, who knew that everything in the temple matched that ghost story.
After listening to Lin Rufei's explanation, the monk did not care about it, but smiled: "I don't know what the story was, and scared the two female donors into this look?"
Lin Rufei told Gu Xuandu's story again.
After hearing this story, who knows, the monk slightly moved and said, "I don't know where the person who told the story to the donor is now?"
Lin Rufei didn't want to expose Gu Xuandu's existence, so he lied: "I saw it in an old book, it's too long, there is no cover, and I don't know its name."
"So it is." The monk sighed slightly, revealing some lonely expression, "I thought ..." He stopped his words, and said Amitabha softly.
Lin Rufei came to be interested: "Does this story have anything to do with Little Master?"
The monk laughed: "I have an old friend, a perverse person who likes to tease people most and stay idle, so I use this story to scare his beloved. Who knows that his beloved is not only not afraid, but also a sword against The Buddha statue was chopped down, and the statue was split in half, causing the young monk to be severely reprimanded by the abbot. "
Lin Rufei laughed: "It's funny."
"It's really interesting," Monk said, "It's just a pity ..."
No need to ask what a pity, Lin Rufei already guessed that the world is impermanent, old people and old things, always make people miss.
The monk said: "It's clear outside. If the donor wants to hurry, he still needs to go early, and in the next 20 or so days, the mountain will probably have a heavy rain for several days. The donor should leave the mountain sooner."
Lin Rufei looked up and found out that the window was indeed bright, the rain was sunny, and the fragrance of the earth was permeated by the air in the mountain. This time passed so fast, Lin Rufei just felt that the monk had not spoken a few words, but the sky was already dawning. When he saw the monk making a gesture of delivering guests, he would not be bothered. But before I left, I thought about it, and let Fuhua take some more dry food. I respectfully handed it to the monk and apologized for the misunderstanding last night.
The monk with a gentle smile didn't refuse Lin Rufei's kindness, took over the dry food, took out a bead from his pocket, and handed it to Lin Rufei, saying that Lin Rufei had a fate with him. In return.
Lin Rufei took the beads and thanked the monk.
Under the monk's gaze, the three led the horse out of the ruined temple and walked onto the muddy mountain road outside.
Gu Xuan, who had disappeared all night, suddenly appeared on the horse's back. Lin Rufei saw a bit of mud on his red shirt and whispered: "Where did you go last night?"
Gu Xuandu said, "Catch the ghost."
Lin Rufei: "..." He understood that, Gu Xuan was unwilling to tell him what to do, so he talked about catching ghosts casually. Thanks to the previous two times, he seriously asked about it. I really thought that his predecessor would What is the magic spell to drive away evil spirits.
"I met a monk in the temple." Lin Rufei casually talked about what happened just now. "Broken temple, buddha statue, if the monk was not a living person, I thought you had made it."
Gu Xuandu: "... I'm not the kind of boring person."
Lin Rufei looked at him suspiciously.
Gu Xuan all looked helpless: "Well, at least I was not so boring yesterday."
Lin Rufei said: "He also gave me a bead." He said, took the bead out of his cuff, and looked carefully, but found that the bead was engraved with the word Nanyin, surprised. "This monk is actually from Nanyin Temple?"
Nanyin Temple is well-known for its Buddhism in the rivers and lakes. The dharma practiced by the disciples in the rumors can cross the grieving spirits and calm the spirits, but Nanyin Temple is located in a remote corner of the Yaoguang continent. The number of disciples is not large. Rarely, I did not expect that the handsome monk I saw just now is a disciple of Nanyin Temple.
Gu Xuandu also listened, without meaning.
Lin Rufei said, "Have you heard of Nanyin Temple?"
Gu Xuandu said: "I've heard it, but I don't like it too much. There are too many rules. Don't give up, don't give up. It's troublesome."
Lin Rufei laughed: "So too."
Due to the warning of a monk, several people did not dare to delay time this time. Under the guidance of Gu Xuandu, they crossed the Xiliang Mountain overnight, and finally arrived in the small town on the border of the Xiliang Mountain before the rainy season. After ten days in the mountain bike, Lin Rufei's body has been unable to carry it. When he arrived at the inn in the town, he slept hard for half a day, and barely relieved his fatigue, but it was still a little soft. No spirit. After waking up, he was a bit hungry, so he wanted to find floating flowers and ask her to make some food for herself. But who knew that before they entered the floating flower room, they heard the worried voice of the maids coming from the room.
"I'm really worried that Master is very naive." ... Huh? Why worry about yourself? Lin Rufei thought puzzled.
"Yes, I'm also worried. You said, was the young master scared in the temple that day."
"I think it's possible, otherwise how can I talk to myself so badly in the past few days, and I would think he was frightened."
"Shall we still find a young man for the young master?"
"Do n’t stop irritating the young master. I ’ll ask first and see if I can prescribe some tranquilizer medicine first. This is a bit wicked, so be careful."
"Well, I'm free today, so I went to the city to ask Langzhong."
Lin Rufei listened with a complex expression, turned her head, and looked at someone standing beside her.
Gu Xuandu was looked at by Lin Rufei, still calm, blinking at him, and throwing Jiao: "I look good?"
Lin Rufei seriously said: "It looks good."
Before Gu Xuandu smiled, he heard the young master with a more and more powerful mouth saying, "Why is it so ugly to make people evil?"
Gu Xuandu: "..."
The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: Why is Xiao Chi not afraid of ghosts?
Lin Rufei: Do you think you are an individual now?
Gu Xuandu: ……………………
