Five Frozen Centuries

Wei Huo saw six or seven fawns. The antlers of these fawns emitted blue light, but after a closer look, he found that it was not their antlers that emitted blue light, but several blue butterflies perched on their antlers.

A few deer kept jumping on the mountainside, and blue butterflies flew up and down from time to time.

At this time, a small deer came to Wei Huo. It was not afraid of people at all. It walked up to Wei Huo and sniffed Wei Huo's sleeve.

Wei Huo smiled, flipped his hands over, revealing a piece of biscuit in his palm.

The little deer happily licked the biscuit in Wei Huo's hand. At this time, several other little deer also surrounded Wei Huo.

"when!"

There was another loud bell on the top of the mountain, and the fawns were startled, jumping up the mountain one after another.

Wei Huo followed, and he followed closely behind a few fawns, probably because Wei Huo had just shown friendliness, or maybe they were very close to humans, so they all surrounded Wei Huo and moved forward with Wei Huo.

Wei Huo followed the fawns over the rock piles, over the small rivers and streams, and finally saw a small road. Wei Huo went straight up the small road, and finally saw a simple bell pavilion, and there was a bell pavilion about sixty or seventy years old. old monk.

"Dang!" The bell rang, and the fawns ran to the old monk one after another, and then saw the old monk spilling a lot of special green fruits, and the fawns immediately gnawed on those green fruits.

The old monk's beard and eyebrows were already grey, and he had nine ring scars on his head. He was wearing an ordinary patched monk's uniform and cloth shoes. When he saw Wei Huo, he put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, Lu Yin!" The visitor must have a predestined relationship with my Buddha, I don't know where the guest came from, and where did he want to go?"

Wei Huo thought for a while before answering: "I came from nothing, and went to nothing?"

Old monk: "."

The old monk said: "I just want to ask who are you? What are you here for? There is no need to answer so complicated."

Wei Huo: "."

Why don't you ask more bluntly?

Wei Huo said, "I just found this mountain a bit strange, so I came up to have a look."

The old monk walked out of the bell pavilion and asked, "What's so strange about this mountain?"

Wei Huo looked around and found that the plants here did not grow wildly, and the buildings were intact. He asked, "Don't you know what happened outside the mountain?"

The old monk clasped his hands together: "I am sitting in the mountain, what happens outside the mountain has nothing to do with me? Even if there are ever-changing changes outside the mountain, and the stars move, I will be safe and still in the mountain. People will not change, and the world will not change. If people change, the world will change by itself!"

The old monk has a very high realm, and it was only now that Wei Huo discovered that this old monk is actually a rare existence. In other words, his soul strength has reached 100 times that of ordinary humans.

This made Wei Huo very interesting. Is it because the old monk has a high realm, or is this mountain not simple?

Wei Huo asked, "Have you always been alone in this mountain?"

The old monk shook his head: "There should be a village at the foot of the mountain, but most of them have moved away. Someone has contracted dozens of acres of mountain land on the mountainside, and it seems that they plan to plant fruit trees, but I haven't seen or heard of it. Look. Come give up."

Wei Huo said: "I think you should go outside the mountain and have a look. The world is very different!"

The old monk put his hands together: "I can't leave here. If I leave, who will ring the bell? Who will sweep the ground? Who will look after the tower?"

Wei Huo listened carefully, and suddenly felt that what the old monk said was full of Zen, he nodded: "It makes sense."

The old monk said to Wei Huo: "The honored guests come from afar, why not drink a cup of tea and eat some fruits in the temple. One month ago, a big tree tens of meters high suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the temple. It bears an unknown fruit, which I named Bodhi fruit, I plucked it and ate it, and gave it to these deer.”

Wei Huo asked, "Didn't you realize that the day has become longer?"

The old monk smiled and said, "A day is just a day, how can it get longer?"

The old monk took Wei Huo into the temple, which was an ordinary temple with a small courtyard, a main hall, three rooms, and a kitchen.

There is a set of stone tables and chairs in the yard, just under a big tree in the middle. This is a very strange big tree. The leaves are light blue, the trunk is light red, and the fruit is turquoise.

The old monk asked Wei Huo to sit at the stone table, and then walked into the kitchen. Soon, white smoke came out of the kitchen chimney. After a while, the old monk came out with a dark water boiler. It is carbon black, which is the carbon accumulated on the surface of the iron furnace after the fuel was not fully burned. The old monk used this furnace to boil water for a long time, and the entire iron furnace turned black, and the surface was covered with some uneven but black Bright carbon black, open the iron furnace, the iron furnace is full of scale, circle after circle, from inside to outside, from deep to shallow.

The way the old monk makes tea is very simple. Take two white porcelain bowls with gaps, put some broken tea leaves, and pour hot water into the bowls. It kept spinning, and gradually, a fresh fragrance came out.

The old monk said: "This is dried wild tea. If someone comes and wants to drink, I will make this tea."

Wei Huo nodded. The appearance of this water boiler is indeed not very good. It is dark, and the scale inside the stove is also thick and dark in color. The tea bowl is indeed plain, and the tea flows along the cracks. popped up.

Few people come to this kind of temple, let alone drink this kind of tea.

Wei Huo took a sip, and felt that the tea had a faint fragrance and was not bitter. The hot water was originally boiling hot, but with tea, he only felt hot, not hot, but after drinking it, his whole body would become hot.

"Taste this Luo Han Guo." The old monk picked off a few green fruits, which were about the size of a walnut, neither sweet nor sour, just like this tea, light, but after eating, Wei Huo Huo felt hot all over his body. This fruit contains strong energy. No wonder the old monk didn't feel that the day was very long, because he didn't feel hungry.

"I want to make a deal with you. I need fruit seeds and wild tea seedlings." Wei Huo suddenly stopped talking halfway through, because he suddenly realized that he might not have what the old monk needed.

food? There is no shortage of old monks, and Wei Huo only has the meat of prey. what to wear? The old monk should not need it. silver? The old monk can't use it at all.

Wei Huo asked, "Is there anything you need?"

The old monk shook his head with a smile: "There are a lot of these things in the mountains. I can just give them to you. I don't need anything."

Wei Huo also smiled: "As expected of a master, he has no desires or desires."

The old monk stood up, looked at the sky, and said, "It's almost time, it's time for me to practice."
