Long History** "Asking the Impermanence of My Life, Not by Heaven" Volume 4 Enlightenment.
When will I attain enlightenment? In the pain, Qiu Chuji let out a low roar in his heart, and the valley responded.
When Qiu Chuji was worried about the delay in attaining the Tao, Ma Yu was taking Li Mahayana and Li Zihe on the way to Zhongnan Mountain, sleeping in the open air all the way, and tirelessly moving forward.
Li Zihe was strong and strong, and along the way, he carried ** and his own bags and strode forward, looking at him walking with a tiger, as if he never knew tiredness.
In contrast, Li Mahayana was born weak, and he had never experienced such a long journey before, so he inevitably complained in his heart. However, he knew that ** was in a hurry, so he still tried to persevere despite feeling that it was difficult, and he didn't dare to say a word stop.
Until an autumn rain slowly fell.
*, it's raining, let's find a place to shelter from the rain before walking. Li Mahayana said, looking up at the dark clouds in the sky that were gathering quickly with the wind, thinking that it must be a heavy rain.
Ma Yu looked at the rain that had fallen in the air, and shook his head gently: "This rain is not enough to delay the journey. Go, go! ”
*！Li Dayan loosened the strap that made his shoulders hurt with his hand, "You are also a person of some age now, you must always take care of your body!" Why don't we find a place to shelter from the rain first, and then hurry when the rain stops! ”
Autumn rain is the most lingering, and who knows when it will fall? Ma Yu shook his head and said, "We're slower than we originally planned now, and we really can't rest!" As he spoke, instead of slowing down, he walked faster.
Although Li Zihe has a lot of strength, he inevitably looks difficult when he carries two bags to speed up his pace. Looking at the ** single-minded way forward, he couldn't help but say: "I'm more anxious now than when I first came out of Longmen Mountain," he originally had few words, and when he said a sentence, he naturally had the weight of a sentence, "I've never seen ** like this!" ”
Hearing Li Zihe say this, Ma Yu sighed lightly, raised his head to look at the cloudy sky, and said: "I can't wait to rush to Zhongnan Mountain in one step now! If you arrive one day earlier, you will be able to build the ancestral nunnery one day earlier! You are all young, I don't know what I'm most afraid of as an old person, I'm just afraid that time won't wait! ”
Speaking of this, Ma Yu's eyes looked into the distance of the road. In the wind and rain, the front was even more confused, and although he tried to look and see, he could not see how far ahead.
Isn't this just like what I dreamed yesterday? Looking at this familiar scene, Ma Yu couldn't help but think.
It turns out that Ma Yu rarely sleeps now, mostly meditates and rests, and yesterday he was too tired from walking, so he couldn't help but lie down and fall asleep. When he first fell asleep, he felt like he was still hurrying, just striding forward. The weather was originally windy and bright, but suddenly the wind blew and the sky was dark, and the road in front of me seemed to be suddenly cut off.
At the same time, a cloud of fog stubbornly stood in front of him, and although he wanted to walk forward, he felt that he was on the edge of a cliff. I want to clear the fog in front of me, but I can't help it.
His eyes widened in vain, but he could not see the path in front of him. What's even more anxious is that this fog has not dispersed for a while, and although I have used my hands to play with it many times, I have not seen a little clarity.
In such a hurry, Ma Yu woke up, opened his eyes and looked outside, the sky was not bright, and he only heard Li Mahayana and Li Zihe snoring evenly.
Awakened by this dream in the middle of the night, Ma Yu had difficulty falling asleep for a while.
Looking at the moonlight outside the window, illuminating it as if it were day, he couldn't help but cross his legs and meditate. The situation in the dream was just shaking in front of me, and it was difficult to be quiet for a while. After days of running, he is an old man after all, although he is determined, but the tiredness that has accumulated for a long time rushes in, and the physical and mental fatigue is difficult to dissolve for a while.
Thinking of yesterday's dream, I was in such a fluctuating wind and rain at this time, watching the smoke and rain on the road ahead, and the fog was steaming, and it was difficult to tell where I was for a while.
Seeing this situation, Ma Yu couldn't help but feel anxious, and his steps were faster.
* Walk slowly! At this time, the rain was heavy, and they happened to pass through a ditch, which gradually became muddy, and Li Dayan walked with slippery feet, and couldn't help but remind **.
Seeing that Ma Yu was still speeding up and rushing forward, Li Dayan wanted to say something more, but Li Zihe next to him was afraid that he would talk more and make ** angry, so he couldn't help but gently pull him. Li Dayana had no choice but to shut up, and continued to walk forward with his head stuffed.
As the rain gets heavier, the roads get more muddy.
Ma Yu raised his head to look at the cloudy sky, and his usually peaceful face showed an anxious expression. Although the rain was getting heavier and heavier, he had no intention of stopping at all, but walked forward with all his strength.
The rain seemed to be determined to get along with the passers-by, regardless of the heavy raindrops that smashed down on a rampage, and the wind helped the rain to hit the face, blowing the wet clothes ** straight sound.
The branches of the trees on both sides of the road were blown straight backwards by the wind, accompanied by a whistling sound.
For a while, the sound of wind and rain resounded between heaven and earth, and people seemed incomparably small and humble.
Ma Yu was almost unable to walk an inch by the wind, but he still lowered his head and walked forward against the wind and rain.
Li Zihe walked beside Ma Yu without saying a word, the wind and rain increased his might, he had a lot of bags on his back, so he naturally walked more hard, and suddenly was blown by a gust of wind, his body couldn't control it for a while, and he couldn't help but take a few steps backwards. Fortunately, Ma Yu was quick and hurriedly grabbed him.
*, it's very difficult to walk now, so let's find a place to shelter from the wind and rain! Li Zihe gasped and said.
Ma Yu looked at Li Mahayana and saw that his thin body could only move forward with difficulty in the storm, which made people really unbearable. He nodded and said in a loud voice, "Let's go forward and see if there is any shelter from the wind and rain." ”
Although Ma Yu amplified his voice to speak, as soon as the wind and rain passed, Li Dayan and Li Zihe could only barely hear it.
*, there is a cottage in front. Hearing that ** finally agreed to stop and shelter from the wind and rain, Li Dacheng hurriedly looked around, saw a house under a big tree in front of him, and hurriedly said with a finger with his hand.
Let's get over there as soon as possible, so we can avoid it and leave! Ma Yu said.
The wind and rain became more violent, and the three of them buried their heads low, almost holding their breath, and walked forward with great difficulty.
The three of them finally moved to the side of the house, and looked up to see a plaque hanging on the house, the original color of the plaque was no longer visible, and the words "Songyin Guan" were faintly displayed on it. It turned out to be a Taoist temple.
*, it is a Taoist temple. Li Mahayana walked in the front and said to **: "Anyway, let's ask the Lord to rest here for a while. So saying, he had already walked to the door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
Unexpectedly, Li Dayan's hand had not yet touched the door panel, but the door "creaked" open, and a person walked out of it with a high spirit.
At this time, Ma Yu and Li Zihe also came to the eaves in front of Songyin Temple. The eaves are wide and cover a lot of rainwater.
Seeing the door open, Li Mahayana reacted quickly, and hurriedly saluted and said, "Sir, we are Taoists who are in a hurry, and we are catching up with this heavy rain, and we want to take shelter here for a while. ”
The man first looked Li Dayana up and down a few times, and then looked at Ma Yu and Li Zihe.
Ma Yu raised his head and looked at the man carefully, and saw that he was tall and magnificent, not wearing Taoist clothes, but a neat official robe, and a pair of vigilant eyes looked at the three of them, with surprise and joy in his eyes, and a trace of hesitation.
Ma Yu was about to speak, when two young people suddenly jumped out of the door, one of whom just said, "Li Tou, what's wrong?" The other shouted in surprise: "So they're here, come and lock them up!" He beckoned to call inside, and drew his sword and prepared to pounce.
Five sons, and slow! The man, known as Li Tou, waved his hand, "It's not them, they're just here to shelter from the rain!" ”
Wuzi first put the knife in front of him, and said with a straight eyebrow: "Anyway, it's a Taoist priest, take it first!" ”
Li Zihe saw that Wuzi was about to rush to the front of **, and hurriedly strode forward, with two big hands and one hand, protecting Ma Yu behind him, and shouted to Wuzi: "I said that you are unreasonable as an errand boy, how can you use a knife and a gun when you see someone? ”
Li Zihe was born in a mountain village and has always had little contact with the government, so he doesn't know how to be afraid of the people in the government, not to mention that seeing that ** is in danger, he cares for his teacher and puts his personal safety out of the way for a while.
We're catching thieves! Wuzi saw that Li Zihe was vigorous, and he spoke with anger, and it was a little scary to stand in front of him. He couldn't help but take a step back, but he didn't let him speak, and continued to beckon to the back: "Come out, brothers, these three are clearly the thieves who have escaped, and our brothers have taken them so that they can receive their rewards!" ”
Before the words fell, three more people rushed out of the room, each holding a bright steel knife, glaring angrily at Ma Yu and the three, looking like they were about to rush up and fight.
Wuzi, I've already said it's not them, why are you just acting recklessly? Compared with the tense subordinates, Li Tou was calm, he took out a scroll of paper from his arms, and handed it to Wuzi casually: "Take a good look, see if it's them, isn't it? ”
