(Let the spring blossoms bloom and let the flowers bloom, but I prefer the red fall on the ground)

Autumn passed and winter came, and Lan Feng had been staying in Jinshan Temple for several months before he knew it.

The green lantern in front of the Buddha suppressed the evil fire in his heart, and the Yinghuo Demon Star did not do it again.

In addition to reciting scriptures in morning classes every day, two senior brothers, Jingyan and Jingguo, also occasionally accompany Lanfeng to play. Although the Jinshan Temple is large, Lanfeng has visited it all over the past few months. Only the Sutra Collection Pavilion has

There has never been a chance to go in. Lan Feng also asked two senior brothers, and they said that there are scriptures that Master Tripitaka asked for. Many scriptures in the world are rubbings, so they are generally not open to the public.

There is also a rumor that there is a monster locked on top of the Sutra Pavilion. Master Sanzang kept it here at that time. In order to save him from doing good deeds, he ordered him to guard the Sutra Pavilion.

But the Sutra Pavilion is only open every year at the end of the year. There are seven floors in the Sutra Pavilion, but only the lower two floors have been opened over the years. The keys to the future are all in the possession of Elder Xuanzhi, so the third floor has never been opened since.

Lanfeng was curious when he heard this. He had been listening to books in the county and city of Tongtianhe, and he was told that Tripitaka's journey to the West was very strange. How could he not be itchy to see the Sutra Pavilion where Master Tripitaka left his books?

The Sutra Pavilion was not open until the new year, so he had no choice but to endure his curiosity.

In the winter months, ice floes filled the lake around Jinshan Temple, and the white snow also covered the temple roof. The three brothers Lanfeng were ordered by Kong Xiang to clean the garden on the back mountain, but when they looked around, they could only see the red plum blossoms.

Aoxue is in full bloom.

This Hundred Gardens is located behind the Sutra Pavilion. According to legend, this place was originally an open space five hundred years ago. Ever since Master Tripitaka left a book to suppress demons, hundreds of flowers have grown on the ground. However, it is cold in the twelfth lunar month and other flowers have withered.

Leave these red plums to become a scene in this snow.

Lan Feng looked at the red plum blossoms in the garden and was very happy. He asked: "Brother, what kind of flower is this?"

Jingyan said quickly: "Haven't you seen this? This is a plum blossom."

"Plum blossoms?" Lanfeng said, "It can still bloom in such a cold weather..."

Just as Jingyan was about to speak, Jingguo handed him a broom: "Go, go, you want to be lazy again, right? Go over there and sweep the snow!"

Jingyan originally wanted to lend Lanfeng Yaohua some time to be lazy, but Jingguo caught him. He reluctantly took the broom and went to sweep away the snow.

Lanfeng smiled at Jingguo and took the broom from his hand to sweep up the snow.

"Senior Brother Jingguo," Lan Feng asked again, "It's still snowing today, why did Master ask us to sweep the snow again? Isn't this sweeping in vain?"

Jingguo held the broom and smiled: "Junior brother, have you recited sutras today?"

"Recited." Lan Feng said.

Jingguo asked again, "Are you enlightened?"

Lan Feng shook his head.

Jingguo said seriously: "That's it. I haven't enlightened after reciting the sutra, so I have to recite the sutra and realize it bit by bit. If the snow in the plum garden is not swept, it will freeze the plum blossoms. If it is swept, let it snow a little bit."

Water turns into the soil and nourishes the plum blossoms. This is the principle..."

Lanfeng seemed to have some understanding, and Jingguo continued: "Master asked us to clear the snow, but he actually wanted us to understand this principle. He is different from Master Dakining. Uncle Dakining cultivates to enter the world and save the world, while Master cultivates

Born to meet a destined person.

But whether you join the world or leave the world, it is all practice. Only by crossing the world can you become a predestined person, and only by crossing a predestined person can you see me, the Buddha.

This is why it is said that ‘Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved, not everyone’. Do you understand?”

Lan Feng was confused: "Senior brother, what you said is too complicated, I can't understand it."

Unexpectedly, Jingguo suddenly stopped his serious look and laughed: "Hahaha! Junior brother, I don't understand either! The master just said these words to me, hahahaha!!"

Lanfeng looked embarrassed, but he didn't expect that Jingguo would use him to make fun of himself.

The three of them were sweeping the snow under the red plum trees. They didn't want a strong wind to blow and scatter the snow into a misty white mist.

"Junior brother! The wind is blowing, please be safe!" Jingguo narrowed her eyes due to Xuewu.

Lanfeng also lost his sight in the vast white snow. Hearing Jingguo calling him, he was about to reply, but unexpectedly, the strange wind mixed with a wisp of brown and yellow breath blew him to the ground.

Lan Feng only felt a buzzing in his head, and vaguely saw a figure walking from under the plum blossom tree in front. The figure was five feet away from him, and his appearance could not be clearly seen, but he could vaguely see that the figure was wearing military armor.

"Who are you?" Lanfeng asked.

The figure didn't speak, just stood in front and stared at Lan Feng. Lan Feng felt frightened, turned around and shouted: "Senior Brother Jingguo! Senior Brother Jingyan!!"

But still no one answered him, so he looked at the figure again, and saw that the figure raised his hand and pointed at him. In an instant, Lan Feng only felt a warmth surrounding him, taking away the wind, snow and chill around him.

Lanfeng looked around again, only to see that this was still a plum garden with snow and wind. It was clearly a land of gentle wind and rising sun, spring waves and hundreds of flowers. But the figure still couldn't see his face clearly, he just stood there.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be hostile, Lan Feng asked: "Who...are you?"

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the figure. Unexpectedly, the figure started to tremble when he saw Lan Feng approaching, and stepped back step by step...

Lanfeng felt strange. Just when he was about to run away, he suddenly heard a Sanskrit sound: "Amitabha!"

This Sanskrit sound fell from the sky, like an enlightenment. Lanfeng trembled, and saw that the spring breeze had dispersed, and he returned to the snowy plum garden.

"Junior brother, are you okay?" Jingguo held Lanfeng's shoulders with both hands, while Jingyan also looked ahead.

I saw Abbot Kongxiang standing in front of the three of them at some point. He said to the figure: "You evil beast, why is your body still out of body and scary? Go back quickly!"

The figure pointed at Lan Feng tremblingly, making a whining sound from his mouth.

"What! Do you still want to grab the Buddhist beads?!" Kong Xiang said, "Today I will teach you a lesson for Master Sanzang!"

After saying that, the Kongxiang Buddha held his hand in front, danced the one hundred and eight rosary beads on his neck, and hit the figure. When the figure saw the Kongxiang hitting him, he just dodged and had no intention of fighting back. He whimpered.

He screamed, as if he had something to say. But the rosary beads received the Buddha's seal, and coupled with the swiftness of Kongxiang's moves, there was no room for the figure to say anything.

Kong Xiang saw the opportunity and grabbed the dragon with one claw at the figure!

At this moment, the flower sachet in Lanfeng's arms suddenly flew out. The sachet emitted glow, causing red plum blossoms to fall all around. The stars and red plum blossoms danced together with the white snow in an instant, and actually restrained Kong Xiang's Qinlong.

hand!

The figure looked at the flower sachet in a daze, and slowly knelt on the ground while trembling.

Seeing this situation, Kong Xiang was confused for a moment. He withdrew his body. The red plum petals scattered on the ground, and the flower sachet was also held in Kong Xiang's hand.

"Woo... Wu..." The figure held up the red plums on the ground and started crying while looking at the flower sachet.

, crying so sadly...

Finally, the figure disappeared little by little into the white snow.

Lan Feng stepped forward and grabbed Kong Xiang's cassock and said, "Master..."

Kong Xiang took the sachet and asked: "My child, where did you get this sachet?"

Lan Feng said: "Yes... my sister gave it to me."

"Your sister? Is she the daughter of Mr. Su's family?" Kong Xiang said.

Lan Feng nodded, Kong Xiang returned the sachet to Lan Feng and said: "Everything in the world has a cause and effect, I can't ask more questions." After that, he turned to Jingguo and said quietly: "You two, what happened today?

, rotten in the stomach! Do you understand?!"

"Yes, Master!" Jingguo said quietly.

Kong Xiang said: "Okay, go back as soon as you finish sweeping. Don't freeze your body due to the cold weather."

After saying that, Kong Xiang left straight away. When Lan Feng saw Kong Xiang leaving, he hurriedly asked Jingguo: "Senior Brother Jingguo, what happened to that figure?"

Jingguo said: "It should be the monster guarding the Sutra Pavilion, but this monster has not come out in the temple for hundreds of years. It is really strange that it came out to disturb people today. But little junior brother, what is the origin of your sachet?"

Ah, why are you still protecting that monster?"

Lan Feng was also confused. He only knew that an old woman gave Wan Xi the sachet, and Wan Xi gave it to him. As for why he helped the monster, he didn't know. If he really wanted to verify it, he had to do it carefully.

Ask Wan Xi.

Thinking of this, Lan Feng shook his head and told the two senior brothers the origin of the sachet.

After listening to Jingguo Jingyan, her words were just bizarre. Although Lanfeng was young, the many adventures he had experienced made the two senior brothers even more confused. However, the so-called monks have broad hearts, and these three people are...

After staying in the plum garden for a while, he went back to the room noisily.

After Kong Xiang left, he came to Elder Xuanzhi's room. He saw Xuanzhi meditating, his figure floating in the air.

"Elder..." Kong Xiang stepped forward and bowed deeply.

When Xuanzhi saw him coming, he lowered his body and sat on the futon. He squinted his eyes and said, "You...have something on your mind?"

Kongxiang sighed, sat cross-legged opposite Xuanchi, and told Xuanchi what happened in Baiyuan Garden today. After hearing this, Xuanchi said: "I didn't expect that child's romance is not that shallow..."

"Does the elder know the origin of the sachet?" Kong Xiang asked.

Xuanzhi smiled and said: "I don't know..." He changed the subject, "The new year is approaching, and we are preparing to open a sutra collection pavilion for disciples to refer to..."

After hearing this, Kong Xiang said: "The monster on the roof of the attic is acting strangely. Do you want to open the attic at the end of this year? If it hurts someone again..."

"Kong Xiang..." Xuanzhi said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a demon or a Buddha. As long as it doesn't harm anyone, it's fine, and it won't cause trouble for the time being."

Kong Xiang said again: "The elder is surprised, and I can't understand why Master Tripitaka left this monster to guard the Sutra Pavilion, which is an important place in our temple..."

"Now that it's here, let's make peace with it. Maybe it has some connection with Master Tripitaka..." Xuanzhi said, "Okay, you go back and make good preparations for the New Year."

Kong Xiang accepted the order, said goodbye to Xuanzai and left.
