Chapter 77: Wusuo Lanruo
"Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Wu Sheng looked carefully for a while, but saw nothing except grass and rocks.
"It's not on the ground. It's buried in the soil. It's in that direction." The monkey pointed at a place and said.
After the monkey explained it in detail, Wu Sheng realized that the monster looked like a person from the outside, but it was tall, almost two people tall. It had a cyan face and was wearing armor. It didn't seem to like the sun very much.
Walking like flying, when he reached this place, he suddenly disappeared into the ground.
"Drill into the ground and escape from the earth?" Wu Sheng frowned slightly after hearing this.
"Let's go in and take a look." Wu Sheng thought for a while and said.
Then they slowly walked towards the location at the bottom of the mountain. This location was on the back side of the mountain, surrounded by mountain peaks. There was no sunlight all day long, and the mountain wind here was extremely strong. The closer they got to that place, the colder they felt.
"Wusheng, it's so cold here!" said the monkey, trembling a few times.
After getting closer, Wu Sheng discovered that there was no grass growing within a certain range of the place he was watching from a distance, and there was still frost on the rocks.
"Could it be that he likes this kind of environment?" Wu Sheng stood there for a while, remembering this position in his heart, then turned around and left with the monkey.
When I went back, I asked the monkey to arrange for his monkeys to keep an eye on this place, and if anything unusual was discovered, go to Lanruo Temple and notify him immediately.
"Remember, you must keep an eye on me."
This monster of unknown origin is also a big threat.
"Don't worry." The Great Sage responded.
Before the dragon in the Black Dragon Pond could figure out whether it was a friend or an enemy, another one appeared in the mountains. The abbot of the temple happened to be shutting up life and death at this time. How could it be such a coincidence? So many things were squeezed together!
"Great Sage." Wu Sheng stopped the monkey who was about to leave.
"What else is there?" The monkey stopped and turned around after hearing this.
"Does the mountain tiger on the Baizhang Cliff of Black Mountain usually come down the mountain?" Wu Sheng said.
"I've never heard of it going down the mountain. How could it come down the mountain while guarding a treasure like Black Ganoderma? After leaving the cave, the Black Ganoderma might have been stolen by other intelligent beasts in an instant," said the monkey.
"That's right." Wu Sheng nodded when he heard the words.
He had considered finding a way to ask the mountain wolf who had been cultivating for three hundred years on the Black Mountain to come down for help. Although the mountain wolf had said that his cultivation level was far inferior to that of the dragon in the Black Dragon Pond, Wu Sheng felt that
There was also an element of self-effacement in those words.
If the dragon in the Black Dragon Pond really outperforms it in cultivation, why not snatch the black Ganoderma lucidum? The Black Mountain and the Black Dragon Pond are not connected by thousands of mountains and rivers. The dragon has been cultivating for hundreds of years. Logically speaking,
He should be familiar with such a genius treasure as Black Ganoderma. After all, all the beasts on Jinding Mountain who have activated Ganoderma know it. The reason why they don’t go is that either the Black Ganoderma doesn’t add much to its cultivation, or the mountain beast is not
So easy to deal with, obviously the latter is more likely.
However, it is really difficult to guard such a treasure and get it to come down the mountain to help.
"There's nothing else to do, just be careful."
"I'm leaving. I'll bring you some good things next time," said the monkey.
Wu Sheng just smiled when he heard this.
In Lanruo Temple, Monk Kong was in the main hall. The Buddha sat down and stayed there for three days without water. On the fourth day, when he came out of the main hall, he looked haggard and walked unsteadily, as if he was seriously ill.
field.
"Master." Wu Sheng saw him not far away and immediately ran forward to support him.
"Help me back to the meditation room." Kong said weakly.
Wu Sheng helped him back to the Zen room. On the way, he met senior brother Wu Fu who was practicing hard and asked him to help him cook some porridge and rice. Monk Wu Wu gently put the thousand-jin stone block aside and turned around to go to the kitchen.
.
Returning to the Zen room, I lay empty on the bed, breathing unsteadily.
"Master, do you feel any discomfort?" Wu Sheng said.
Most people can't bear not eating or drinking for three days.
"It's nothing serious, I'm just tired, hungry and sleepy." Kong Kong said.
"Why are you suffering?" Wu Sheng said. "Old Buddha and others may not be able to feel your piety."
"What if he happens to see it?" Kong Kong smiled and said, "I'm just asking for peace of mind."
Wu Sheng poured him some hot water to drink, and after a while, Wu Nu entered the meditation room carrying a bowl of steaming porridge.
"Uncle, have some porridge."
Wu Sheng lifted Kong up and leaned on the back of the bed, then fed him porridge with a spoon.
"Wu Wu's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Kong Kong admired after taking a few mouthfuls of porridge.
Wu Nu grinned after hearing this.
"Thank you for your hard work, uncle."
"It's not hard work, this is all I can do for the time being." Monk Kong said.
"Wusheng, is there nothing unusual outside the temple?"
"Not yet." Wu Sheng said.
Seeing Kong's appearance, he didn't tell him about the green-faced weirdo. He would just take care of some things by himself.
After eating half of a bowl of porridge, Wu Sheng refused to let him eat any more. After three days of starvation, his body would not be able to bear if he ate too much at once.
"You can get some sleep first. I'm right outside the door. Call me if you need anything." Wu Sheng said.
"You don't need to keep an eye on me, I'll be fine." Kong Kong said.
That was the case, but after Wu Sheng came out of the Zen room, he signaled to Senior Brother Wu Nu to go ahead and get busy. He stayed outside until he heard the familiar and even sound of snoring coming from the room before he left with peace of mind.
Kong slept for a whole day until the sky darkened and Wu Sheng woke him up. After dinner, the three of them went to the main hall together to chant sutras and pray for the abbot.
Whether this chanting can pray for blessings, Wu Sheng is convinced in his heart, just as Kong Kong said, what he seeks is peace of mind.
After leaving the main hall, Wu Sheng went to practice under the Bodhi tree. In the sky, the waning moon was mostly covered by clouds, only a corner was exposed, and the moonlight was also dim.
The winter night is long. The wind in the night is bitingly cold.
Wu Sheng stood under the tree, his monk's robes fluttering. Until late at night, when he was about to go back to the Zen room, he felt something in his heart and looked up at the sky. The clouds completely covered the moon, and not a trace of brilliance was revealed. Wu Yue
There are no stars either.
The sky was pitch black, and so was the earth.
The mountains and fields are silent, and Orchid is silent.
Wu Sheng returned to the Zen room alone.
Early the next morning, there was a vast fog on Jinding Mountain, and the eyes could not reach more than ten steps. Lanruo Temple was also shrouded in heavy fog.
Looking from the bottom of the mountain, the entire Jinding Mountain is hidden in the heavy fog.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, some villagers who got up early were surprised to see the heavy fog on the mountain.
"What a heavy fog!"
"Yeah, I haven't seen such heavy fog for a long time."
